Part 7
Light and Darkness
It continues as Matt and Kari floated on the waves of light that now engulfed the digital world, destroying all the virus type digimon and the cages that once held the other digidestinys prisoners. Now, the world was an endless white light that somehow was heavy enough to lift them into the sky, or was it just the feeling of floating while they're feet still rest on the ground. They were unable to move in this world of white, and except for blinking their eyes they was totally at the mercy of the intense light.
Matt wanted to cry, but he knew that he couldn't because Kari still needed him, and if he began he knew that he would be unable to stop. His brother was gone and there was nothing that he could do about it, but to live. His brother had gained his own revenge when the light had destroyed Shadidomon, so Matt had nothing to fight about. For now, he was living for the sole purpose of getting Kari to safety. He had to find someway out of here.
Kari beside him was trying with all her might to break down into tears, but unlike Matt, she discovered that she didn't have the ability to form tears or make noise. She was paralyzed. Once she realized this fear grip her heart and Kari began to shout in her mind over and over again. NO, NO, NO!
This one thought broke the silence as Matt heard Kari's thoughts, and realized that he could answer her in the same way. Kari, calm down Matt thought if you think about saying it in your head then I can hear you.
Kari immediately stops her chant and thought back You can hear me?
Yes, Kari, and you've got to hold it together I will get us out of this somehow.
But Matt, what about Tai and the others how will we rescue them?
Hopefully, when Shadidomon was destroyed, so were the dark crests. So when we escape all we have to do is come back and get them.
What about Metal Garurumon and Angewomon?
They're Vaccine types, Kari. The light only destroys Virus type digimon.
Then we will see them again when we return?
I hope so.
"Matt," a voice roared after the two had gone quiet.
Huh, who is there?
"It's me, Metal Garurumon," the metallic wolf howled as he ran on the light toward them with Angewomon flying in his wake. "We've been searching for you."
The two digimon quickly rushed to the two children's side only to discover that the children were unable to move.
Metal Garurumon, you two can still move? Matt thought.
"Yes, it seems that the light doesn't affect us," Angewomon said as she grab Kari and then reach out for Matt since Metal Garurumon didn't have any hands.
What are we going to do? Kari asked Matt.
I think we should try to find the other first and then look for Jed-I; he should know the answer.
"I don't think that is such a good idea, Matt." Metal Garurumon growled," we just past the others and they seem to still be under the control of the dark crest and…,"
"..and," Angewomon jump in," the two remanding dark crests are heading this way."
That is impossible, how could the dark crests still be able to move? Matt thought out loud.
Maybe, Matt that is the reason why we can't move, and if so maybe, T.K. and the Shadow T.K. had nothing to do with this white light. Maybe the crests got impatience and decided to act on their own. Kari answered.
If so, then that would mean that the others can move!
"Well, Matt the others were riding their digimon, and seem to be able to move just fine." Metal Garurumon stated as he ran beside the now moving angel digimon and children as they fled the area.
Then that means that it is only an matter of time before we will have to face the others, Kari, we have to escape from here.
Elsewhere in the world of reality, Matt's father and Mother had come together over the lost of their child.
"How is Matt taking it?" Matt's Mother asked him.
"Matt is fine he is staying late at school studying," Matt's father grin.
"What is so funny," his ex-wife demanded.
"I think Matt knows where our son is," Matt's father smiled.
"Huh, I don't understand," she exclaim.
Matt's father walk slowly over to the apartment's window and look out. "Matt and T.K. must be in the digita-- Damn!" "What in the hell is happening to the sun."
Matt's mom quickly rushed to his side and was astounded by the sight of the sun slowly being covered by a black light. "It is only a eclipse," she replied commonly.
"I work at a TV studio and there was no mention of an eclipse." "This can mean only one thing," Matt's Dad stated angrily," something bad is happening in the Digital World."
Back in the digital world, Metal Garurumon and Angewomon flew at top speed as in the distance two tiny object could be seen flying towards them in super sonic speed.
"Matt, " Angewomon replied calmly," I don't think we will be able to escape them." "They're too fast!"
Metal Garurumon, do you think you can stop them?"
"I don't know, Matt, the crests are awfully small, and there is no way I can hit them with my Metal Wolf Claw." Matt's digimon replied as he tried not to kick up too much light sparks and leave Angewomon in his dust.
"Well, you've got to try," Angewomon blurted out boldly. "Those dark crest will eventually catch up, and we might be too tired to fight back if we keep this up.
"Ok, I will try," Metal Garurumon then turn around and headed straight toward the twin crests.
The crest did exactly what Metal Garurumon expected. The crests simply dodged him and continued on their way. He was just too big to try and crush them, and it was like he was standing still when he tried to squash the two crests under his paws.
"Angewomon, I failed," he yelled as they streak off. "They're heading your way!"
Angewomon, what are we going to do? Kari asked worryily.
"I'm going to destroy them," she replied as she turn and fired her Celestial Arrows, which the twin crests easily avoided and then in the same motion hit Angewomon in the chest causing her to drop the children and returning her to her intraining form.
Now the two children were helpless as the two crests slowly hovered above them and then plunge toward their targets. Matt help me she thought as she was struck by her crest of darkness which change her hair from a light brown to an ugly gray, while Matt who was inches away from receiving his crest of hatred was rescue by an bolt of electricity that shocked the crest. A small red and blue digimon appeared in front of him and dragged him away, while the crest now stun floated harmlessly in the air. But Matt wasn't worried about his rescuer, he just kept thinking loudly to himself that he had fail. The two vanished into the light as Kari turns to her now champion digimon, Gatamon and smiled, " How does it feel to be back to your old self."
"Puuurfect," the small gray cat digimon meowed as she pick up the other crest and handed it to Kari.
"Matt, you can't run and you can't hide," Kari screamed into the light," you're next." The two then walk in the opposite direction of where Matt had been dragged, and they headed toward the last place they had seen Metal Garurumon.
