This is part four to my Fic – Desire and Sorrow – So please be kind when reviewing. Thanx! By the way, this takes place 4 years after the DigiDestined first entered the Digiworld, so that would make Tai, Sora & Matt 15 years old, Mimi & Izzy 14 years old, TK & Kari 12 years old & Joe 16 years old.

Sorry about that, Now on with the fic!
NOTE: Before we begin, I'd like to say something about the contest that I held awhile ago. Unfortunately, no one got the correct answer. The correct answer was…SALAMON! Oh well, I'll be holding another contest but this time I'll try to make it a little more easier. Sorry! Now on with the fic!
Desire and Sorrow Part 4: Into the Darkness
They all stood there in disbelief. They could not believe that TK had just turned on them. Matt walked up to TK and tried to communicate with him.
"TK." He said in a very calm demeanor. "I don't know what Puppetmon has done or said to you, but you can't trust him. He's lying to you; nothing he says is true. But us, we're your friends, we all care about you TK. C'mon." he said putting a hand on his shoulder.
TK smacked Matt's arm off his shoulder. "Angemon!" he said very heartlessly "Finish this one off first."
Matt turned around to see Angemon preparing to attack. Just then his Digivice and Crest began to glow…
GABUMONWARP DIGIVOLVE TOMETAL GARURUMON
"HAND OF FATE!" Angemon cried as he shot an energy blast towards Matt.
"METAL WOLF CLAW!" Metal Garurumon yelled as his attack counteracted Angemons' attack
Kari and Izzy just stood there dumfounded by the way TK was behaving. They watched as Metal Garurumon and Angemon were combating against each other…
* * * * * * *
"What are we gonna do?" Mimi yelled in hysteria as Metal Seadramon closed in on her and Joe.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, we'd better do it quick!" Joe yelled.
Gomamon and Palmon got up, tired and totally drained of the energy from the fight with Metal Seadramon. Joe and Mimi were trapped, as Metal Seadramon was ready to take the offensive. As they saw their partners in danger, Gomamon and Palmon began to illuminate in a strange white light. They cared for Joe and Mimi too much to ever give up the fight. They tried to attack in their rookie forms.
"POISON IVY" Palmon cried out as she sent her attack wrapping up Metal Seadramon.
"MARCHING FISHES" Gomamon yelled as he sent his attack right towards the evil Dark Master.
Metal Seadramon simply just blocked their attack and hit them away. Gomamon and Palmon were fatally injured and on the brink of death. They still wouldn't give up as they got up and continued their assult on Metal Seadramon. Metal Seadramon started to take serious action.
"RIVER OF POWER!" he yelled as he struck Palmon and Gomamon down. They were now luing on the floor, bleeding to death. Joe and Mimi quickly raced over to help their injured friends.
"NO!" Joe cried as he raced towards the place where Gomamon fell. He picked up his companion and held him close. "Please don't die Gomamon." He said with tears in his eyes.
"PALMON!" Mimi yelled as she dashed over to the place where Palmon was mortally wounded. She held her close and said softly "Please don't go Palmon, I care about you too much!" Metal Seadramon then interrupted them.
"HA HA! NOW IT"S YOU'RE TURN!" Metal Seadramon prepared to attack. Joe got up angrily and yelled. "We'll make you pay for what you did to our friends!"
"Yeah, You're going down Metal Seadramon!" Mimi yelled.
"FOOLS! YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU CAN STOP ME! RIVER OF POWER!" Metal Seadramon then fired at Joe and Mimi. They both began to scream but just then, Gomamon and Palmon began to glimmer, as well as Joe and Mimi's Crests and Digivices….
"GOMAMONWARP DIGIVOLVE TOMARINE ANGEMON!"
"PALMONWARP DIGIVOLVE TOROSEMON!"
"WHAT!?" Metal Seadramon yelled as Marine Angemon and Rosemon both blocked his assualt effortlessly. Both Joe and Mimi were amazed to see there friends fully Digivolved in their Mega level.
"ALL RIGHT!" Joe yelled as he witnessed the two powerful Digimon fight the evil giant.
"FINISH HIM OFF!" Mimi ordered. Marine Angemon and Rosemon prepared to finish Metal Seadramon with one blow.
"RAIN OF POLLEN!" Cried Rosemon as she sent her attack towards Metal Seadramon.
"OCEAN LOVE!" Cried Marine Angemon as he sent out a beam of energy to Metal Seadramon.
"NOOOOO! THIS CAN'T BE!" Were Metal Seadramon's dying words as the evil Digimon finally met his Demise.
"WOW!" Mimi said as Rosemon came down and dedigivolved to Tanemon.
"AWESOME!" Joe said as he happily met up with Bukamon (who dedigivolved from Marine Angemon)
Tanemon and Bukamon happily greeted their friends.
"Whoa Bukamon! You almost died out there." Joe said as he held his Digimon.
"You can't get rid of me that easily!" Bukamon joked. They were all happy for their defeat over Metal Seadramon. But their hapiness was cut short when they all heard a loud crash in the forest.
"What was that!" Tanemon yelled.
"I don't know, but I think we should go check it out." Joe said.
"Good Idea Joe! Let's go!" Mimi said very vigorously.
They all walked back into the forest and started heading towards the battle with Puppetmon.
* * * * * * *
"TK! You have to stop this right now." Izzy said trying to reason with him.
"No." he said very imperturbably
"IDIOTS!" Puppetmon cried. "He won't listen to you. He's on my side! PUPPET PUMMEL!" He yelled as a series of energy blasts were bombarding the DigiDestined. They ran to try to dodge the blasts. MegaKabuterimon and Angewomon did their best to try to ward off the attack but their attempts proved to be futile as they were fired at causing them to dedigivolve into Salamon and Tentomon. Izzy and Kari ran over to aid their friends but Angemon stopped them with his attack. "ANGEL ROD!" He cried as he attempted to attack Izzy and Kari but was parried by Metal Garurumon's Metal Wolf Claw attack.
"HAND OF FATE" he shouted as he tried to strike Metal Garurumon. Metal Garurumon managed to dodge the attack, though TK was standing right behind him when he got struck. TK was knocked unconscious, bleeding tremendously from the head. Matt, Kari, and Izzy ran over to see if he was badly injured.
Metal Garurmon put a stop to Angemon by knocking him unconsious with his Giga Missle…
"TK! TK!" Matt kept repeating as he shook TK, trying to wake him up.
"Please get up!" Kari said, crying her heart out.
"Oh well. Looks like that's one less DigiDestined to worry about." Puppetmon said with a sly grin on his face. "That fool, he actually believed everything I told. I didn't know that humans were that stupid and gullible."
Kari got up, filled with hatred and rage. "You heartless monster!" She screamed. Izzy and Matt got up as well and joined Kari.
"You'll pay for what you did to my brother." Matt said very angry. "Metal Garurumon, GO!"
"METAL WOLF CLAW!" Metal Garurumon shouted as he began his assault on Puppetmon.
"PUPPET PUMMEL!" Puppetmon managed to deflect his attack easily. Metal Garrumon was getting hurt badly. Kari and Izzy watched in horror as Metal Garurumon was losing the fight. They then looked in TK's direction. He was lying on the floor. They had no idea if he was still alive or not. They all started to weep at the idea. They then looked in Puppetmon's direction as he had an evil smile on his wooden face. Kari and Izzy's Crests and Digivices began to glow as well as their Digimon.
"SALAMONWARP DIGIVOLVE TOMAGNADRAMON!"
"TENTOMONWARP DIGIVOLVE TOHERCULES KABUTERIMON!"
"WHOA, PRODIGIOUS!" Izzy exclaimed.
* * * * * * *
TK opened his eye slowy and got up. He looked around to find out where he was. But he had no idea. All that he could see around him was just pitch black. He couldn't make out anything.
"Where am I?" He asked himself.
"We are in your mind, TK." A voice echoed out.
"Who's there?" he asked calling out. "Show yourself?"
The figure finally appeared in front of him. TK looked in amazement as he saw who it was.
"What? Don't you recognize me TK?" The dark figure asked.
"But…But…It can't be, you're…you're…ME!" He said very shocked.
* * * * * * *
Meanwhile….
"GIGA CANNON!" Machine Dramon called out as Giant blasts were aimed towards Metal Greymon knocking him down
.
"C'mon Metal Greymon! Get up!" Tai yelled.
"Yeah, Garudamon, attack Machine Dramon!" Sora yelled to her Digimon partner.
"WING BLADE!" Garudamon cried as she sent a firey bird in Machine Dramon's direction. Machine Dramon simply prevented the attack and started a full assualt on Metal Greymon and Garudamon, bombarding them with huge blasts of power knocking them down and causing them to dedigivolve into their rookie forms.
"Agumon!" Tai yelled
"Biyomon" Sora yelled running towards their friends.
"We're sorry Tai, he's just way to strong for us!" Agumon said barely able to speak.
"No Agumon, don't be sorry, it's not your…" Tai was cut short as Machine Dramon decided to attack them when they were weak so they wouldn't have a chance to Digivolve.
"GIGA CANNON!!" They were all knocked into different directions. As the smoke cleared, Sora got up to see where everyone was. Biyomon was still right beside her and Agumon was about 10 feet away from where she was. They seemed to be all right, just a little shooken up. But then a displeasing thoght came to her 'Where's Tai?'
She looked around frantically for Tai until she finally found him lying on the floor. She ran over to him quickly to see if she was all right.
"TAI!" She yelled shaking him to try and wake him up. "TAI! GET UP PLEASE!" She then thought the worst in thinking that Tai could be dead. "TAI, PLEASE DON'T DIE! YOU CAN'T" Her yelling and shaking him aimlessly didn't help much. Machine Dramon then appeared.
"SO YOU SURVIVED, WELL, I'LL FIX THAT" Machine Dramon said as he was preparing to deliver the final attack.
Sora didn't care. She held Tai in her arms, brushing her hand through his wild hair and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you Tai." She whispered in his ear. Suddenly, she and Tai started to glow. Sora was wondering in amazement as well as Machine Dramon to what was going on. Tai then opened his eyes and awoke to find Sora holding him.
"Hmm…Sora?" He said very wearily. "What's goin' on?" he asked very cluelessly.
"TAI!" Sora said very excited "YOU'RE ALIVE!" she screamed and then kissed Tai on the lips. Tai had no idea what was going on but he didn't care. Then both of their Crests began to glow as they broke off the kiss.
AGUMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO WARGREYMON!
BIYOMONWARP DIGIVOLVE TO PHEONIXMON!
"Whoa, what just happened?" Tai asked in bewilderment.
"I'll tell you later Tai, right now we gotta take care of Machine Dramon once and for all." Sora said as they both got up.
"MORONS, YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DIGIMON DIGVOLVED THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DEFEAT ME!!! GIGA CANNON!!!!!!!!!" Machine Dramon yelled as he attaked with all his might. But it was to no use as Pheonixmon and WarGreymon were preparing to finish him off.
"TERRA-FORCE!"
"CRIMSON FLAME!"
Machine Dramon became overwhelmed by the attacks and was knocked down hard.
"HOW!?" he asked out loud "HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO DEFEAT ME?"
"Simple Machine Dramon." Sora said, "The power of love conquers all."
"HMPH! WE'LL JUST SEE IF THAT'S ENOUGH TO DEFEAT ALL OF US, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DEFEAT PIEDMON!" were Machine Dramon's dying words as Pheonixmon decided to finish him off.
"STARLIGHT EXPLOSION!" She cried and in one devastating attack Machine Dramon was destroyed. WarGreymon then dedigivolved back to the in-training level of Koromon.
"Hey Tai!" The little Digimon yelled. "We kicked butt! Didn't we?"
"Yeah Koromon, we sure did." He suddenly turned his attention toward Sora. She decided to speak first.
"Tai…."
"Yeah Sora…"
" I'm really glad that you're okay and I wanted to say that…"
"No, you don't need to say anything Sora, I know...I…love you too."
They both hugged each other and then gavce into a deep, passionate kiss.
"Oh Tai..." Sora said
"Oh Sora…" Tai said
"Oh brother" Koromon and Pheonixmon said in disgust.
"Will you to love birds break it up now?" koromon asked
"Yeah, break up the mushy stuff, we got more important matters to attend to." Pheonixmon said fed up with seeing the two like that.
"Oh yeah, Right" Tai said a little disappointed. They all instantly heard a loud explosion coming from the forest.
"Did you guys hear that?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, It sounds like trouble. We'd better get going" Sora said. They all jumped on Pheonixmon's back and flew in the direction of where the battle was coming from.
* * * * * * *
"PUPPET PUMMEL" Puppetmon cried as he began attacking the newly Digivolved Megas.
"DRAGON FIRE!" MagnaDramon shouted as Puppetmon became ignited into a blazing fire.
"Now it's time to finish him off!" Go Hercules Kabuterimon!" Izzy yelled.
"You too Metal Garurumon!" Matt yelled.
"METAL WOLF CLAW"
"GIGA SCISSOR CLAW"
"DRAGON FIRE"
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Puppetmon cried as he was reduced to nothing but a pile of sawdust. Everyone gave a loud cheer as they were finally rid of the evil Dark Master.
"ALL RIGHT! WAY TO GO METAL GARURUMON" Matt said for a job well down. But they're sounds of happiness was cut short when they noticed Kari crying and kneeling down to where TK lied. All the Digimon then dedigivolved to their in-training forms. (Including Angemon)
"Hey guys!" yelled Joe as he and Mimi were running up to them. "Oh it's so good to see you guys again." Mimi said cheerfully. Her perkiness then ended as she saw the facial expressions on all her friends.
"Gee, this is just a regular funhouse. Isn't it?" Mimi said in a sarcastic tone. "What's the Matter?" She then noticed TK lying on the floor.
"Oh my god! What happened?" Joe asked. Suddenly Tai and Sora, along with their Digimon, came running up towards their friends.
"Hey Guys! What's up?" Tai asked. Izzy then started explaining the story to his unknowing friends. Soon after Joe tried to handle TK. Since his Dad was a doctor and he knows a little bit about treating him. It was soon dark and the others had set up camp for the night. They were all waiting for Joe to come out and tell them if TK was all right.
"I just can't stand it anymore!" Kari yelled
"Me too! I can't wait any longer! I'm goin' in to see my brother!" Kari and Matt then got up and went inside the tent that Joe had set up. Joe then noticed Kari and Matt entering the tent.
"How's TK?" Matt asked as he stared at his brother.
"Well, to tell you the truth he doesn't look so good. I bandaged his head to put pressure on the wound and he seems to be in some kind of coma."
"Will he recover?" Kari asked with a concerned tone.
"I don't know Kari" Joe replied. "I just don't know"
* * * * * *
"But you can't be me! I'm me! Aren't I?" TK asked in bewilderment.
"Well actually, we're both you. No wait, I mean we're both me, No we're both each other! No wait……… ARGH I'M CONFUSED!" The other TK said frustrated and confused. "OH JUST FORGET IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER RIGHT NOW! WHAT MATTERS IS WHY YOU ARE HERE!"
TK stared at the other figure with a look of confusion on his face. "Okay so why am I here?"
"Follow me." The other TK replied
