Alright, to me it seems that the last few chapters and this one have sucked. But that's because we were just
going over the basics-Next chapter, this story is really gonna take off.

Chapter 6:One Darkness becomes less

Mirionel came back with a bag full of stones, each bright blue in color. When one held onto it, it
healed you completely. So the digidestined were healed that day.
Kari took one and put in into TK's palm, then squeezed his hand, hoping it would work. Everyone
gathered around. Even Mirionel, whom Kari had considered at the very least odd, and at the most
treacherous, looked worried. Eventually though, the wounds on TK's chest healed up, though they left a
large line of ragged purple flesh in their wake. TK opened his eyes and groaned.
"Get him some water," commanded Mirionel, and Mat immediately brang a bottle of water to his
brothers side. He tipped it into his mouth, and TK soon found that he had the strength to sit up. Everyone
breathed a huge sigh of relief. Everyone crowded around TK to hear what he had seen while unconscious,
but Mirionel shoved them all away with an impatient hand. She stared at TK for a while, then her eyes
became wide in amazement and she walked away. Everyone crowded in around TK to talk to him then, but
TK would only talk to Kari.
As soon as everyone had gone out of hearing, and Kari made sure that no one was hiding in the
bushes, TK began talking.
"Kari, do you remember when you were possessed by that light when I had first met you?" TK
asked while drinking more water.
Kari nodded.
"I think something like that is happening to me."
"How?" Kari asked.
"It's like I'm being pulled in two different directions," said TK. "First of all, when we were
attacked, there was nothing I could do to save any one, or to even help. Then in my minds eye, I saw red
fire, and something inside me told me to use it. I used it to destroy the batmen…"
"Wait!" said Kari, stopping him. "You mean it was you who killed all those things? TK, that's
horrible. Look at what happened to the forest!" she gestured to the wreckage where a good deal of the
forest had once stood.
"I know, but what else was I supposed to do?" asked TK. "To die without trying, to let you, my
friends, die, because I did nothing?"
"I guess not…" said Kari, trailing away and then looking at the ground.
"I cant do that, Kari. I cant let you, and everyone else die, even if it destroys me in the process!"
"I would have done what you did if I was in your position," said Kari.
"You don't know how much better that makes me feel," sighed TK. "But anyway, after I fell
unconscious, I felt something gripping me, and I tried to burn it. But the more I used the fire, the stronger it
grew. Finally, when I thought I was going to die, something told me to use another power, this time a silver
light. I used it, and I beat back the thing that attacked me…which turned out to be some sort of monster."
Kari stared at him. "I'm sorry, but that's not what I felt at all when I was possessed. I felt like I
was at peace, and something else was just borrowing my body for something very important."
"Hmm." TK was lost in thought, staring at a rock.
"Have you seen the Angel yet?" said Kari suddenly.
"What! An angel? No!" said TK. "Like a digimon angel?"
"I don't know…" said Kari. "It just seems that something is wrong about her. The others don't
notice it, but she doesn't seem much like an angel to me. Her name is Mirionel."
Mirionel, in the meantime, was sitting in a corner. *How could that little idiot beat my brother in a
battle?* she wondered. *Everyone is going to be jumping at the chance to help brother possess him now…I
just hope that stupid Dlagradeth has got the message out to everyone not too attack…*
"Apparently not," she said a moment later, her voice heavy with malice, as her amulet began to
glow red. She looked to the sky.
A huge dragon, possessing three heads and having scales the color of dull iron, came swooping
out of the sky. One of Kul'Riven's creations, according to the symbol of cruelty carved into its side. As it
landed, it abruptly turned to her and swiped a huge claw at her. As it raced down to slash her open,
Mirionel smiled ruefully. Apparently Kul'Riven hadn't been to specific when telling it what to attack.
Suddenly there was a shout from the side, and one of the children-Mat, that was the name-tackled
her from the side moments before the claw hit her, and risking his life in the process. Mirionel fell heavily
to the ground as the claw sliced the air above her head. Sudden anger boiling inside her, she released a
massive attack on it. A crescent of light flew form her fingers-one would say it looked like the power of the
light, but truly it was just dark disguised as light. It slammed into the base of the dragons necks and it sliced
through, severing all the heads. It screamed and faded away into nothingness.
Mat was staring at her as she rose from the ground. "You're powerful to have killed that in one
hit," he said in awe. Mirionel nodded.
"What about you, mortal?" she asked. "You would have sacrificed your life to save mine."
"The opportunity to do that comes up a lot more often then you would think." Said Mat,
shrugging. "It's just something friends do for friends."
Mirionel's mind was full of confusion. In her old life, no one was her friend, and no one would
have cared if she had died beyond the loss of her usefulness. But here…one saved ones life because they
were friends, not to keep her for her power.
"Yes…something friends do for friends." She took Mat's hand and shook it.


Kari and TK, who had been heading in the direction where Mirionel was in the first place, arrived
at the time when Mirionel was talking to Mat.
"That's Mirionel? She doesn't seem so bad to me." Said TK.
Kari stared in confusion for a while, then smiled. "Yeah, she doesn't seem so bad to me either."
