Let me repeat, again, that this will not become a yuri, a Kari and Yolei. The reason the two of them are feeling towards each other, is because they are Tai and Sora. It will be explained more in this chapter, but, Kari is still a girl.
TAICHI: The third Ishida son
Okay, Kari again. While I was searching through Datamon's old lab, I came across a set of glass chambers, one of which was broken. While I was doing that, T.K.'s team came across Taichi and engaged him in battle. Yolei's team went off in search of Piedmon's Digi-egg with Ken and Wormmon right behind them.
"I'm telling you," Yolei said,"He's got to have it!"
"But how came you be so sure?" Davis asked.
"Because," she said, matter-of-factly,"That Gazimon elder back there said that a human took Piedmon's Digi-egg. Now, we know that that human had to know about the Digiworld to know how powerful that Digi-egg is, so that means that Gennai has it!"
"Okay," Michael said,"But where is Gennai? Only T.K. and Kari have ever visited him, we have no idea where he is."
"Yes, we do," Yolei said,"I know where he is. Kari told me."
"Why didn't you tell us that before?"
"Sor-ry!" Yolei shouted.
The group continued to walk through the forest,"Its should be just around here," she said,"I know it is."
"Hey," Davis said, looking up at the dark sky,"Don't you think we should rest for the night?"
"Yeah," Michael said,"Let's do it."
From a distance back, Ken stopped. "What are they doing now?" he asked.
"It looks like they're camping for the night," Wormmon said.
"Great," Ken said,"I've been following them for hours, and they haven't been going anywhere!"
"Well, we could use a rest anyway," Wormmon said.
Michael sat down, and placed his back against a tree. He sighed and looked up at the sky,"I wonder how the other's are doing? I wonder if Kari is okay? Well, at least it seems that we can trust Davis, we don't need to worry about him betraying us."
"Hey, Michael,"
He looked over at Davis,"Yes?"
"I wonder where Ken Ichijoji is," he said,"He just disappeared after our fight with Ice Mearamon. I hope he doesn't come after us."
"I agree," Michael said,"We've got to keep our eye out for him."
"I'm worried about Kari," Yolei said.
"Don't worry," Hawkmon said,"I'm sure she's fine. She is the reborn Tai, after all, and he held off Piedmon all by himself."
"We don't know that for sure," Veemon said,"Remember, Taichi? That guy that was trying to destroy that entire town."
"No," Yolei said,"Kari is Tai, I'm sure of it. I know, because I'm in....nevermind."
Hawkmon patted his partner on the back,"Its all right, Yolei, you can say it."
"No..." she said, starting to cry, "I can't."
"What's this?" Ken asked.
"What?" Wormmon asked.
From their spot behind a row of bushes a few feet away, Ken turned back to Wormmon,"They just said that Kari might not be Tai after all. But, if this 'Taichi' is the real Tai Kamiya, then who is Kari? This is getting too confusing."
Taichi stared down the others from his position on Metalgreymon's nose. Do you honestly believe that you can stop me?" he asked.
"Yes," T.K. said, facing him,"We do."
"Well then," Taichi gleamed,"I'm going to show you how wrong you are! Get them, Metalgreymon!"
"Giga Blaster!"
The Virus Digimon's chest plate opened and two gigantic missiles shot out, aimed right at T.K. and Jun. Their Digimon instinctively pushed them out of the way, and watched as the missiles exploded, creating a giant crater in the ground.
"Oh man!" T.K. said, slowly picking himself up into a kneeling position.
"Do you believe me now, Matt?" Taichi asked.
T.K. glared up at him,"Who are you?" he asked,"Really?"
"I am Taichi Kamiya!"
"You're lying," T.K. said,"Kari is the real Tai!"
Taichi half smiled,"What? That pathetic failed experiment?"
"What do you mean?" T.K. asked.
"I am the real thing," Taichi said,"I am Tai Kamiya, my 'little sister' is nothing more than a fake, a copy, a female clone of myself."
"What?" Jun said.
"Kari's....just a clone?" Cody asked,"I don't think that's possible."
"No," T.K. said,"You're wrong! She's real! I know she is!"
"What makes you say that, Matt? Is it because you're in love with her?"
"No," T.K. said, standing up,"It's because she can use the Crest of Courage!"
Taichi crossed his arms and half smiled,"A well placed hypothesis, but, is it true? Let me give you another one, Matt, my old friend, maybe the reason the Crest works with her, is because I've given up my, 'good soul'? Maybe, everything that was 'good' with Tai Kamiya, all his honor, guidance, morality, is left within the female physical body of my clone? Inside the one you know as Hikari Kamiya? What do you think of that, old friend?"
T.K. clenched his fists. "Stop lying! You're not Tai Kamiya!"
"Oh, but I am," Taichi said, leaning on his one knee, staring down at T.K. and the cowering Digidestineds."I am Tai Kamiya. Do you want to know how I know I'm him? Because I know your greatest secret, Yamato Ishida. The secret you told me that day, twelve years ago. You do remember that day, don't you? That first night we slept out at the cable car? Remember what you told me about your brother?"
T.K.'s eyes flew open. "Wh-what are you talking about? I don't have a brother! Well...T.K has a brother, but Matt didn't."
"But you did have a brother," Taichi said,"A boy named Takeru?"
"What is he talking about?" Willace asked.
"What do you mean?" T.K. asked," I'm T.K. This...body, this life I'm living now is T.K.'s! When I was Matt, I didn't have another brother!"
Taichi started laughing,"You don't even remember do you? HAHAHAHA, maybe you shouldn't call my existence, or Kari's, into question, but, your own? If you were really Yamato Ishida, you would remember your younger brother Takeru"
"No," T.K. said, standing firm,"When I was Matt, I didn't have a younger brother. I was an only child."
"Oh really?" Taichi asked,"Matt, do you remember when we first entered the Digital World, and our first enemy was Devimon?"
"Yes," he said,"Of course, ever bit of it."
"Then tell me, Matt, who defeated Devimon?"
"Ha!" T.K. asked,"It was.....it was.....I...I don't know....wh-what's happening to me?"
"Allow me to fill you in," Taichi said,"Devimon was slaughtering us badly, it was only a matter of time before he went in for the kill. Just when we thought we were doomed, your brother's Digimon, Patamon, digivolved to Angemon and beat him."
"Then where is he now, huh?" T.K. asked.
Taichi smiled,"Maybe he died with the rest of us when we faced Apocalymon, or, maybe he's still alive, like myself, or maybe he was never alive to began with!"
"What is going on here?" Willace asked.
"Well," Jun's Digimon, Alraumon said,"It appears that T.K. was named after another person, Takeru, who was an original Digidestined."
"Exactly," Taichi said,"After both their sons were gone, Mr. and Mrs. Ishida named their third son after Takeru, they called him T.K. the one who would become the reborn Matt!"
"No," T.K. said,"No, I....I did not have a brother....no...I did not! I don't care if you are the real Tai or not, you are going down!"
His digivice started to glow,"What's this? My Digivice is glowing..."
"T.K.!" Patamon said,"I can digivovle!"
T.K. nodded,"Then do it."
"Patamon digivovle to Angemon!"
"Well, Kari," Gatomon said, straining her neck, looking upwards,"I think this is it."
Kari turned to her friend and nodded. "Yeah, this must be the Holy Tower."
The tower was nothing more than a very tall stone cylinder, stretching so high in the sky, that the top was above the clouds. The outside of the cylinder was designed so it appeared that the tower was formed by laying a circle of stones one on top of the other. There were designs along the outside, which Kari recognized as computer code. "So, how do we get in?"
"Beats me," Kari said, walking towards the tower,"Maybe there's a hidden door?"
The two of them started to search around the bottom of the massive tower, when Gatomon called out Kari's name. She ran around the outside of the tower, where she saw her friend, standing in front of a large square opening. "Seems a little to inviting," Gatomon said.
"I agree," Kari said, walking towards the opening,"But I need to see him."
She started to walk inside the mouth, when she suddenly stopped. "What is it?" Gatomon asked.
"Its an illusion," Kari said, placing her hand up against the mouth,"there's a wall here." She began moving her hand along the opening, like a mime.
"Now what do we do?" Gatomon asked.
"Can I help you?" a voice asked.
Kari and Gatomon spun around, looking in all directions. "Who said that?" Kari demanded.
"I did," the voice said,"Do you wish to enter this tower?"
"Yes," Kari said,"You see, I need to speak with the Digimon sage that lives here. I have a major problem going on inside my head and I think he can help."
"Is that a Digimon with you? Are you a Digidestined?"
Kari smiled,"Why, yes I am. I am Kari Kamiya, leader of the Digidestined."
The voice chuckled for a moment. "I should have seen this one coming. Haha, please, come in, the barrier is gone now. I will see you momentarily."
Kari and Gatomon looked at each other. Gatomon shrugged. "I've seen weirder."
Kari smiled. The two of them took a deep breath as they walked through the opening of the entrance, then disappeared.
They soon found themselves in the open sky again, but, there weren't any clouds this time. They were standing in front of a large building, almost like a church. It had large stain glass windows, with great Digimon, such as Wargreymon, Metalgarurumon, Saberleomon and others. Kari turned around and gasped. About half a mile in front of her the stone tile floor ended and created a steep drop.
"Gatomon," she said,"I think we're on top of the tower."
"How did we get here?" she asked.
Kari didn't answer. She wasn't sure what to do. She was afraid to move, afraid of falling straight down off of this Tower of Babel. She was scared stiff when the door of the building opened.
A small man walked out. He had large white hair that covered his face, and a large white beard. He wore a yellow robe and carried a wooden staff that was taller than he was. "Greetings," he said,"I am Jijimon, how may I be of service?"
"Angemon, huh?" Taichi asked.
T.K. looked in awe at the angel in front of him. "Wow," he said,"Cool."
The other Digidestined were impressed, also. "Patamon digivolved," Cody said.
"An angle Digimon," Armadillomon said,"His power must be incredible for a Champion."
"I wonder if he's stronger than Gatomon," Terriermon said.
"I can guarantee that he's not stronger than Metalgreymon," Taichi said.
His blue virus Digimon lurched forward. He lifted his cybernetic arm in the air,"Mega Claw!" he shouted. His clawed hand flew forward, attempting to ground the flying angel.
With a wave of his staff, Angemon blocked the hand and sent it back towards its owner.
"Ahh!" Taichi cried, jumping off seconds before the claw hit Metalgreymon in the head.
"Angle Staff!" Angemon said. He launched his staff, which hit Metalgreymon in the head.
The giant Digimon cried out in pain as he lurched backwards. "But how?" Taichi asked,"Angemon is just a Champion, while Metalgreymon is an Ultimate."
"An angel Digimon is very affective against virus Digimon," Armadillomon said,"Regardless of the level."
"Give up now, Taichi," T.K. said,"Tell us what you're searching for? Why are you destroying town after town?"
"All I'll tell you is this," he said,"I'm searching for an object which might be below these cities. Only by destroying them, and the ground below them, I might be able to bring the object up. Now, if you're through, can we get back to the battle?"
"You don't stand a chance," Angemon said,"And you know it."
"Really?" Taichi asked,"You might be affective against virus, but even you can hold off a Mega. Get ready Metalgreymon."
"Right," the blue Metalgreymon said,"Metalgreymon digivolve to Black Wargreymon!"
"Uh oh," Jun said, "I think we're in trouble now."
"You'd better believe it," Black Wargreymon said.
"I'll stop you!" Angemon cried, flying towards Black Wargreymon with his staff. He was going in for the kill, when Black Wargreymon simply flicked him aside with his gauntlet.
Angemon slammed into the ground, reverting back to Tokomon. "He..he creamed him," T.K. said, unable to grasp the concept.
Black Wargreymon put his two hands together above his head. A ball of redish-orange energy appear within them. With great delight he flung the giant ball forward. "Terra Destroyer!"
The Digidestined ran as fast as they could, but were still propelled forward when the ball of evil energy exploded against the ground.
"Oh, my head," Willace said, slowly pushing the pile of ruble away from him. "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah," Jun said,"We're just peachy. What just happened back there? What was Taichi talking about? About that other Takeru?"
"I don't know," T.K. said, kicking a pile of dirt off of him,"It doesn't make any sense, I don't remember having a brother. When we get back home, I've got to ask my mother about it, but for now, we've still got to stop Taichi."
"Please, sit down," Jijimon said. He had brought them inside to a large living room area. There was a table in the middle of the room with flowers on top, and two couches on both sides. The room was painted light blue, which matched the couches perfectly.
"Thank you, "Kari said, sitting on one of the couches. Jijimon sat on the other.
"Now," Jijimon said,"How can I help you?"
"Well," Kari said,"Its kind of a long story. You see....."
She told him the whole story, starting with T.K. and her entering the Digital World, Genai contacting them, the whole thing with discovering the other Digidestined, and ending with her leaving the team.
Jijimon nodded. "So, I see. Well then, let's start with the obvious. How are you adjusting?"
"Not good at all," Kari said,"My psychiatrist told me that I'm subconsciously denying Tai or Kari. Does that make any sense?"
"Perfect sense," Jijimon said,"You didn't have any idea that you might have been a guy in a previous life, did you?"
Kari shook her head. "No, none at all."
"Well then, you've though you were a girl for your entire life, correct?"
"Short as it has been so far, yes."
"So, you are denying Tai, because you are Kari, however, you didn't know it, but your experiences, memories, and personality as Tai has made your 'self' as Kari. Therefore, by trying to denying Tai, you are denying part of yourself."
Kari nodded,"Yeah, that makes sense."
"Now," Jijimon said,"Tell me about Yolei."
Kari's entire expression changed,"Well, Yolei, is, um, the reborn Sora, as I just told you, and when I was still Tai, we were in love, Genai even told us that we were destined to be together. Now, we both get reborn as girls, and we can't be together."
"Why not?" Jijimon asked.
"Because," she said,"We're both girls."
"That doesn't mean anything," he said,"I have heard of female/female couples. Its possible and it does happen."
"No," she said,"I...know, but...I just..can't..for some reason..."
Jijimon nodded. He thought for a moment, then said,"What do you think of T.K.?"
Her expression changed again."Oh, he's great. I like him so much, but now, we find out I used to be a guy, and..."
"I see," Jijimon said,"Tai, your 'older' self is fueling your desire for Sora, but your 'newer' female self is repulsing that idea. Your problem is you keep thinking of yourself as either Tai, or Kari, which is not the case. You are both Tai and Kari, and you've got to merge those two together."
"How?" she asked, hopeful.
"I can't tell you that," he said,"You have to find the answer on your own. However, I will help you through it. Stay here as long as you need to."
"Thank you," she said,"But, at the moment, I could really use a good meal."
Jijimon smiled,"Right this way."
to be continued....
IF I GOT BLACK WARGREYMON'S EVOLUTION WRONG, I'M SORRY. PLEASE TELL WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS STORY. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU
TAICHI: The third Ishida son
Okay, Kari again. While I was searching through Datamon's old lab, I came across a set of glass chambers, one of which was broken. While I was doing that, T.K.'s team came across Taichi and engaged him in battle. Yolei's team went off in search of Piedmon's Digi-egg with Ken and Wormmon right behind them.

"I agree," Michael said,"We've got to keep our eye out for him."
"I'm worried about Kari," Yolei said.
"Don't worry," Hawkmon said,"I'm sure she's fine. She is the reborn Tai, after all, and he held off Piedmon all by himself."

"Kari's....just a clone?" Cody asked,"I don't think that's possible."
"No," T.K. said,"You're wrong! She's real! I know she is!"
"What makes you say that, Matt? Is it because you're in love with her?"

His digivice started to glow,"What's this? My Digivice is glowing..."
"T.K.!" Patamon said,"I can digivovle!"
T.K. nodded,"Then do it."
"Patamon digivovle to Angemon!"
"Well, Kari," Gatomon said, straining her neck, looking upwards,"I think this is it."
Kari turned to her friend and nodded. "Yeah, this must be the Holy Tower."

"An angle Digimon," Armadillomon said,"His power must be incredible for a Champion."
"I wonder if he's stronger than Gatomon," Terriermon said.
"I can guarantee that he's not stronger than Metalgreymon," Taichi said.
His blue virus Digimon lurched forward. He lifted his cybernetic arm in the air,"Mega Claw!" he shouted. His clawed hand flew forward, attempting to ground the flying angel.

"Right," the blue Metalgreymon said,"Metalgreymon digivolve to Black Wargreymon!"
"Uh oh," Jun said, "I think we're in trouble now."
"You'd better believe it," Black Wargreymon said.
"I'll stop you!" Angemon cried, flying towards Black Wargreymon with his staff. He was going in for the kill, when Black Wargreymon simply flicked him aside with his gauntlet.
Angemon slammed into the ground, reverting back to Tokomon. "He..he creamed him," T.K. said, unable to grasp the concept.
Black Wargreymon put his two hands together above his head. A ball of redish-orange energy appear within them. With great delight he flung the giant ball forward. "Terra Destroyer!"
The Digidestined ran as fast as they could, but were still propelled forward when the ball of evil energy exploded against the ground.
"Oh, my head," Willace said, slowly pushing the pile of ruble away from him. "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah," Jun said,"We're just peachy. What just happened back there? What was Taichi talking about? About that other Takeru?"
"I don't know," T.K. said, kicking a pile of dirt off of him,"It doesn't make any sense, I don't remember having a brother. When we get back home, I've got to ask my mother about it, but for now, we've still got to stop Taichi."
"Please, sit down," Jijimon said. He had brought them inside to a large living room area. There was a table in the middle of the room with flowers on top, and two couches on both sides. The room was painted light blue, which matched the couches perfectly.
"Thank you, "Kari said, sitting on one of the couches. Jijimon sat on the other.
"Now," Jijimon said,"How can I help you?"
"Well," Kari said,"Its kind of a long story. You see....."
She told him the whole story, starting with T.K. and her entering the Digital World, Genai contacting them, the whole thing with discovering the other Digidestined, and ending with her leaving the team.
Jijimon nodded. "So, I see. Well then, let's start with the obvious. How are you adjusting?"
"Not good at all," Kari said,"My psychiatrist told me that I'm subconsciously denying Tai or Kari. Does that make any sense?"
"Perfect sense," Jijimon said,"You didn't have any idea that you might have been a guy in a previous life, did you?"
Kari shook her head. "No, none at all."
"Well then, you've though you were a girl for your entire life, correct?"
"Short as it has been so far, yes."
"So, you are denying Tai, because you are Kari, however, you didn't know it, but your experiences, memories, and personality as Tai has made your 'self' as Kari. Therefore, by trying to denying Tai, you are denying part of yourself."
Kari nodded,"Yeah, that makes sense."
"Now," Jijimon said,"Tell me about Yolei."
Kari's entire expression changed,"Well, Yolei, is, um, the reborn Sora, as I just told you, and when I was still Tai, we were in love, Genai even told us that we were destined to be together. Now, we both get reborn as girls, and we can't be together."
"Why not?" Jijimon asked.
"Because," she said,"We're both girls."
"That doesn't mean anything," he said,"I have heard of female/female couples. Its possible and it does happen."
"No," she said,"I...know, but...I just..can't..for some reason..."
Jijimon nodded. He thought for a moment, then said,"What do you think of T.K.?"
Her expression changed again."Oh, he's great. I like him so much, but now, we find out I used to be a guy, and..."
"I see," Jijimon said,"Tai, your 'older' self is fueling your desire for Sora, but your 'newer' female self is repulsing that idea. Your problem is you keep thinking of yourself as either Tai, or Kari, which is not the case. You are both Tai and Kari, and you've got to merge those two together."
"How?" she asked, hopeful.
"I can't tell you that," he said,"You have to find the answer on your own. However, I will help you through it. Stay here as long as you need to."
"Thank you," she said,"But, at the moment, I could really use a good meal."
Jijimon smiled,"Right this way."
