Disclaimer: I don't own digimon
Born of Angels
This is the sequel to Kari's Secret or a Forgotten Past, whichever title you prefer.
Ken sneered at the affection Kari gave Andie. It was disgusting. Ken got up from his throne and walked away from the computer screens that littered the air. He walked down the hall and to the place where he was holding Kari. He opened the door and saw Kari sitting on the floor stroking Andie's hair softly.
"Must you be so sentimental? Its like something out of a Hallmark card."
Kari looked up. "What do you want with her?"
"To destroy her! But I can't, her powers are far more advanced then mine and with her destruction would cause mine. So she will destroy herself."
"What?"
"Don't tell me you thought I would use her to take over the Digital World. I can do that myself now that only one angel lives outside my darkness. Your trapped, may I remind you."
"How can I forget?"
"So only half the power out there is protecting the light side of the DigiWorld. I don't need her. She's weak and pathetic. That's why it will be easy to have her destroy herself. She's too human."
"How? How will she destroy herself?"
"I don't need to explain my plans to you! Anyway your daughter will die. I will stain the DigiWorld with Angel blood."
"Stay away from her Ken or I will kill you," Kari ordered as she stood up.
Ken walked towards her. "You may look older then me, but I am not afraid of you!" He paused and smiled an evil smile. "Whose life do you value more? Your daughter's or your husband's?" Kari froze. Ken snapped his finger and two Mojimon appeared and help Kari back. "Too late, you didn't answer fast enough! Looks like they'll both have to die."
"NO!" Kari screamed.
Ken kicked Andie hard in the side. She woke up and cried out in pain. He pulled her off the floor violently. Kari screamed and fought to no avail.
"Let me go," Andie fought. She looked over at Kari, eyes wide and close to tears. She tried to pull away, but he held tight without much effort.
He pulled her out of the room. Kari's screams still echoed from the room. Ken stopped and glanced at Andie. She was shaking feverously and holding her side. "You won't make it all the way walking," he sighed. He snapped his fingers and the scenery around them changed. She didn't seem to notice. He let go of her arm and she slumped to the grass. He surveyed the scene. They were in a forest. Then he saw it, another stone with a ring on it.
He pointed to another stone. "That's the stone of friendship. Destroy it."
Andie looked up. "I can't. Its so cold," she shook.
"DO IT!" Ken screamed.
Andie stood up and did the same as she had done before with the other stone. She destroyed it. Her eyesight dimmed as another part of her heart died. She shook from cold. "You feel it, don't you? With every stone you destroy a part of you dies. I am sick and tired of trying to get you on my side. I will have you destroy all the Destiny Stones because without them you will die! There is only one more now. The Stone of Hope and Light. Once that's gone you're dead!"
She crumpled to the grass again. "I don't want to die. I want to go home. Please just send me back. Back home, back to the real world. I'll never come back, I swear. Please," she sobbed.
"Like I said before, I don't show mercy." He turned away.
There was a roar from behind and they both looked up. A huge blue dinosaur with a metal sea monsters head for one hand and a skull of a dino for another loomed over them. Andie felt a scream rise in her throat, but Ken clamped a hand on her mouth. "That's a Deltamon. Shut up or it will kill you. It'll probably eat you if it sees you!" An evil grin appeared on his face. "Maybe he would," he laughed.
"Ken, what are you going to do?" Andie asked nervously.
"HEY OVER HERE!" Ken screamed at the Deltamon. It turned and looked at them. "Well, I'll be leaving." He raised his hand to snap his fingers.
"What are you doing?" Andie exploded.
"Destroy it if you want to live!" He snapped his fingers and he disappeared.
"Ken, don't!" She looked around hoping for some sign of escape. Her head pounded from intense pain and she felt light headed. The thing roared and she turned to look at it. It took a step towards her and she backed up as many paces as she could until she fell backwards.
'Destroy it,' Ken said in her mind.
Andie looked around hoping to spot Ken. "NO! I'm not heartless like you!"
'Then die.' He was gone; she knew it. He left her to die.
"Serpents Bite!" The Deltamon screamed.
The attack sailed at Andie. She held up her hands and closed her eyes, screaming, "No!" Nothing happened. She opened her eyes and saw a thin form of light surrounding her. A force field or something like that! "Wow," she mumbled.
The Deltamon stared at her. "Triple force!" The new attack flew at Andie. She sliced her hand through the air, hoping the attack would fall away. Instead it stopped and flew back at the Deltamon. It hit it and it dissolved.
"Wha-what happened? I killed it!" She got up and staggered a little. "I killed it!" She turned and began to run from the spot. She ran and ran, her hear became lighter and pain stronger. Suddenly she ran into something and fell backwards into the grass. She looked up and saw a tall figure with blond hair and soft eyes staring down at her. A halo was created around his hair and Andie couldn't figure out if it was the sun or if he was an angel.
He knelt down to look at her. "Hey, what's wrong?" He reached out to touch her face. "Why are you shaking?"
"I killed it, I killed it," she mumbled delirious with fever.
"You killed what? What's your name?"
"In the forest… I killed him," Andie continued.
"Hey, its okay," he whispered. He stood up and lifted her off the ground. "Sh, calm down."
"I killed it…" Andie laid her head against his chest. It felt familiar as if it had happened before, as if she knew this man. She calmed and quieted, still shaking feverously.
"You're burning up. Just relax and you'll feel better." She relaxed a bit. "What's your name? Can you tell me that?"
"A-Andie," she replied.
"Thank you Andie." He put a hand on her forehead. "Sleep," he whispered. Her eyes drooped more then before and she was quickly overwhelmed by darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(A/N: As the author I can do whatever I want so here I go pulling one of my author's tricks. :D So I'm back the story up a little. This part is at the exact same time as when Andie and Ken went to the Destiny Stone of Friendship. Andie hasn't destroyed it yet.)
Sora felt the floor disappear from under her feet and reappear. She would have fallen if Matt hadn't had her his arm around her waist. "Thanks," she whispered, but her husband wasn't paying attention.
"Well, we're back," he said. "The forest. The mountains. I didn't think it could happen, but I actually missed it."
"Do you think we'll see Biyo or Gabumon?" She asked.
He smiled at her. "Maybe. That would be great, wouldn't it? I've missed the furry little guy." He looked around before looking back at her. She was looking through an opening in the trees, intensely, as if looking for something. Or someone. "Your not really thinking about Biyo, are you?" She didn't answer. "Tai's still alive. We'll find him, I promise."
She looked back at him and jumped into his arms, hugging him fiercely. "I've missed him, Matt. I couldn't admit it and I'm sorry you have to deal with me right now."
He smiled again. Sure, he felt a little jealous, but Tai was so much more to Sora than he ever could be. Matt wasn't her first kiss or her first love or first date. "We'll find him."
She pulled away. "Thank you Matt. But Tai's not my first concern no matter how much I missed him. I want to find Andie first."
"Me too. I-" There was a loud rumble and then a sudden boom that cut him off. They were both knocked to the ground by a shockwave.
"M-Matt, what was that?" Sora asked as she got up. Matt was still lying on the grass. She ran over to him. "Matt, what's wrong? Come on, Matt, get up!"
"I-I don't know what's wrong," he groaned. "All of a sudden I'm real weak. I-oh no!"
"What is it? What's wrong, Matt?"
"A Destiny Stone. It holds the power of Digi Angels and Protectors. Mine was destroyed."
"You aren't going to die are you? Please Matt, don't go!"
"I'm not going to die," he laughed. It was forced and fake, but she accepted it. He forced himself off the ground, staggering slightly. "Let's go find our daughter."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Andie awoke in a warm bed with a soft blue blanket covering her. Her shaking had lessened and she didn't feel so cold. The room she laid in was lit with the sun that crept through the window.
She heard footsteps and she looked across the room at a doorway. In it stood a young man with big brown hair. He smiled at her with a smile she had seen some many times before, her own. "Hi there," he said.
"Hi," she whispered.
"Well, your certainly quiet. Andie right?" She nodded. "Good, my memory isn't fading then." He grinned even wider. "My name is Tai." She didn't say anything to him. "I bet your hungry. Wait right here and I'll get something for you to eat." He walked out of the room before she could say anything. He returned a moment later with a steaming bowl in his hands. He sat down on the edge of the bed, placing the bowl down before helping her to sit up. "You were quite sick so this is just broth."
"I was?" She asked. She was still so tired and in pain. The man fed her the broth. "Thank you," she whispered after she pushed it away. She had only had a few sips, but she didn't want it.
"You were incredibly sick. Fever, cough, the works."
"How long was I asleep?"
"Two days."
"How'd I get better so fast?"
He laughed. "Well, you're just all full of questions, aren't you?"
There were more footsteps and both Tai and Andie looked up. A young man, the same that had picked her up, stood there. "Well, I see our guest is awake," he smiled. She liked his smile.
"Yeah. I was just giving her something to eat."
"Broth? That's it?" The man asked, his nose wrinkled. He looked over at Andie. "I feel your pain. Its yucky isn't it?"
Tai stood up and hit him on the back of his head. "Quiet you! You're the one who's too lazy too cook!" He stormed out of the room.
The man just laughed. He glanced down at Andie. "I heard your question. You wanted to know how you got better so fast. I healed you, that's how."
"You have power? What's your name?"
"TK." He sat down beside her. "Do you want to get up and walk around? I'm sure you're well enough." Andie nodded and he helped her out of the bed. She was unsteady on her feet, but he helped her. They walked out of the room and into a small living room.
Andie pulled away from TK and looked at the different photos that littered the mantel above the fireplace. She stopped and at one that looked familiar. It was a sixteen-year-old boy and girl sitting in a park; arms wrapped around each other, the girl in the boy's lap. She picked it up and ran her hand over it. "Where'd you get this?" She asked.
TK looked over her shoulder at the photo. "That is me and my wife when we were sixteen; before we were married. It was her favorite place in the park."
Andie thought for a moment. Then it came to her. TK, that must be short for Takeru! Her heart leaped for joy. "I was told to find you! I have a message for you! From Kari! From your wife Kari!"
He frowned. "What are you talking about? My wife is dead. She has been for several years."
"No, she's not!"
"Who are you?"
"Andie Takaishi. Or Ishida if I feel like using that name."
"Takaishi?" His mouth dropped open. "Andie?" He lifted her chin and stared into her bright blue eyes. "You really are her. Andie, my tenshi!" He picked her up in a ferocious hug. "My baby!" She couldn't help, but laugh. "TAI! Come in here now!"
Tai walked into the room and stopped upon seeing TK hugging Andie. "What are you doing, TK? You're going to kill her!"
TK laughed. "MY daughter! This is my daughter! Tai, your niece. This is your niece."
"What?" Tai looked at the little girl. He had seen some traces of Kari in her, but he hadn't said anything before. Slowly he approached her before wrapping his arms around her. He didn't speak, he couldn't.
"Tai, she said Kari was alive!"
Tai looked up at him and then her. "What?"
Andie had fallen silent. TK placed a hand on her shoulder. "Go ahead, Andie. Where'd you see her?"
"At Ken's castle. She said something about him holding her there for fifteen years. She told me to tell you she's alive."
TK looked over at Tai. "We have to go get her, Tai! I want her back!"
"We will, TK. But first we'll need a plan."
"I suppose." He looked down at Andie and hugged her again. "It's been so long. You look so much like Kari. Has my brother been taking care of you?"
"Matt?" TK nodded. "Yeah, he and his wife."
"He got married? To who?" Tai asked.
"Sora T-Takeno-uchi," she stumbled over the last name. The only reason she knew it was because Gatomon had said it.
"Sora Takenouchi?" Tai asked. His face fell and a lump rose in his throat. "How long have they been married?"
"Nine years," Andie replied happily. Tai didn't look so happy. He stood up and stormed out of the room. She looked at TK in despair. "What did I do?"
"Sora was Tai's girlfriend, before we got stuck in the Digital World. I'll be right back. I better make sure he's okay." Andie nodded and he walked out of the room to follow Tai. Andie got up and went to the doorway to listen in. Tai was leaning over a counter in the kitchen. "Tai, you knew she was going to move on. I thought you accepted it."
"I had, but she's really gone from me," his voice cracked like he was crying. "Why Matt? Why Matt of all people? Am I really that easy to replace?"
TK almost laughed at Tai's comments about Matt. "Come on Tai. Don't be like this."
Tai looked at him, red eyed. "Why not?" He yelled. "Why can't I be like this? For over fifteen years I have been stuck in the Digital World! I haven't lead a normal life since I was fourteen. I haven't seen my sister in fourteen years! And I'm stuck in the body of a twenty one year old! I lost my first love to my best friend! Why can't I be like that TK? Why in hells name can't I be sad or angry or whatever?"
"Do you think you're the only one suffering? I lost my wife and thought she was dead for fourteen years. I missed my daughter's entire life. I'm stuck as a nineteen year old! Your not the only one stuck in this world! Your not the only one who has lost the one you love! I know what its like, Tai. Don't snap at me!"
Tai was about to reply when there was a large crash from outside. They both looked up and Andie ran to the window. Outside there was a huge green praying mantis looking thing. Ken was riding on its back. Tai and TK came up behind her. "Ken!" Tai yelled.
"He's here for me!" Andie said as she backed away from the window.
"We won't let him near you," TK smiled. "We'll take care of him. What I want you to do is go to the back and hide. Take this." He handed a gold necklace with a yellow symbol on it. "It means-"
"Hope," she interrupted.
He smiled again. "Go hide." She slipped the necklace over her neck and ran to the backroom where she had awoken before. The room was a little dark and she looked around, hoping to find some kind of cover. There really was none so she slipped inside the closet.
The sounds of explosions and fighting drifted into the room. 'I know you're in there, Andie,' Ken's voice said in her head. 'Your mine!'
She bit her lip and fingered the necklace around her neck. "I'll fight you all the way, Ken," she whispered.
There was more crashing and it was coming closer. "I'll fight…" she whispered. Just then the closet door splintered into a million pieces, each one flying in her face. She rubbed her eyes trying to remove the wood.
"Twin sickles!" A voice yelled. A horrible pain raced through her arm. She blindly placed a hand over the pained spot and felt a warm liquid spilling out. Something sharp was placed against her neck. "Stand up and move out!"
'Just fight…' She stood up, still unable to see. "No! You can't take me," she yelled. She felt something warm fly from her hands and a scream rang in her ears. A feeling of darkness and power rushed through her body.
'You are no better then me. You killed an innocent Snimon who was only doing my dark deeds in pure blood. Your no better then me,' Ken taunted in her head.
"NO!" She yelled back, still blind. "I am nothing like you. I-I'm good!"
"That's what you think." Ken was no longer in her head. "Your uncle and father are preoccupied with a double of myself. No, I mean, they just destroyed me. So, times up. You and I have places to go." A cold hand grabbed her arm and the floor under her changed from wood to stone.
"What happened? What'd you do?" She screamed. Her eyes hurt and tears ran down her face.
"Your back in my care, young Andie," he replied. Then his presence in her head was gone.

Well, there's part 9. Hoped it was good. Everyone wanted me to being in TK so I did. There will only be one or two more chapters (I think). Please read and review. Tell me what you think. :) Did I capture the personalities well? Later Dayz!

There was a roar from behind and they both looked up. A huge blue dinosaur with a metal sea monsters head for one hand and a skull of a dino for another loomed over them. Andie felt a scream rise in her throat, but Ken clamped a hand on her mouth. "That's a Deltamon. Shut up or it will kill you. It'll probably eat you if it sees you!" An evil grin appeared on his face. "Maybe he would," he laughed.
"Ken, what are you going to do?" Andie asked nervously.
"HEY OVER HERE!" Ken screamed at the Deltamon. It turned and looked at them. "Well, I'll be leaving." He raised his hand to snap his fingers.
"What are you doing?" Andie exploded.
"Destroy it if you want to live!" He snapped his fingers and he disappeared.
"Ken, don't!" She looked around hoping for some sign of escape. Her head pounded from intense pain and she felt light headed. The thing roared and she turned to look at it. It took a step towards her and she backed up as many paces as she could until she fell backwards.
'Destroy it,' Ken said in her mind.
Andie looked around hoping to spot Ken. "NO! I'm not heartless like you!"

"In the forest… I killed him," Andie continued.
"Hey, its okay," he whispered. He stood up and lifted her off the ground. "Sh, calm down."

"A-Andie," she replied.
"Thank you Andie." He put a hand on her forehead. "Sleep," he whispered. Her eyes drooped more then before and she was quickly overwhelmed by darkness.

"A Destiny Stone. It holds the power of Digi Angels and Protectors. Mine was destroyed."
"You aren't going to die are you? Please Matt, don't go!"
"I'm not going to die," he laughed. It was forced and fake, but she accepted it. He forced himself off the ground, staggering slightly. "Let's go find our daughter."

"How long was I asleep?"
"Two days."
"How'd I get better so fast?"
He laughed. "Well, you're just all full of questions, aren't you?"
There were more footsteps and both Tai and Andie looked up. A young man, the same that had picked her up, stood there. "Well, I see our guest is awake," he smiled. She liked his smile.
"Yeah. I was just giving her something to eat."
"Broth? That's it?" The man asked, his nose wrinkled. He looked over at Andie. "I feel your pain. Its yucky isn't it?"
Tai stood up and hit him on the back of his head. "Quiet you! You're the one who's too lazy too cook!" He stormed out of the room.
The man just laughed. He glanced down at Andie. "I heard your question. You wanted to know how you got better so fast. I healed you, that's how."
"You have power? What's your name?"
"TK." He sat down beside her. "Do you want to get up and walk around? I'm sure you're well enough." Andie nodded and he helped her out of the bed. She was unsteady on her feet, but he helped her. They walked out of the room and into a small living room.
Andie pulled away from TK and looked at the different photos that littered the mantel above the fireplace. She stopped and at one that looked familiar.

"No, she's not!"
"Who are you?"
"Andie Takaishi. Or Ishida if I feel like using that name."
"Takaishi?" His mouth dropped open. "Andie?" He lifted her chin and stared into her bright blue eyes. "You really are her. Andie, my tenshi!" He picked her up in a ferocious hug. "My baby!" She couldn't help, but laugh. "TAI! Come in here now!"
Tai walked into the room and stopped upon seeing TK hugging Andie. "What are you doing, TK? You're going to kill her!"
TK laughed. "MY daughter! This is my daughter! Tai, your niece. This is your niece."
"What?" Tai looked at the little girl. He had seen some traces of Kari in her, but he hadn't said anything before. Slowly he approached her before wrapping his arms around her. He didn't speak, he couldn't.
"Tai, she said Kari was alive!"

"At Ken's castle. She said something about him holding her there for fifteen years. She told me to tell you she's alive."
TK looked over at Tai. "We have to go get her, Tai! I want her back!"
"We will, TK. But first we'll need a plan."
"I suppose." He looked down at Andie and hugged her again. "It's been so long. You look so much like Kari. Has my brother been taking care of you?"
"Matt?" TK nodded. "Yeah, he and his wife."
"He got married? To who?" Tai asked.
"Sora T-Takeno-uchi," she stumbled over the last name. The only reason she knew it was because Gatomon had said it.
"Sora Takenouchi?" Tai asked. His face fell and a lump rose in his throat. "How long have they been married?"
"Nine years," Andie replied happily. Tai didn't look so happy. He stood up and stormed out of the room. She looked at TK in despair. "What did I do?"
"Sora was Tai's girlfriend, before we got stuck in the Digital World. I'll be right back. I better make sure he's okay." Andie nodded and he walked out of the room to follow Tai. Andie got up and went to the doorway to listen in. Tai was leaning over a counter in the kitchen. "Tai, you knew she was going to move on. I thought you accepted it."
"I had, but she's really gone from me," his voice cracked like he was crying. "Why Matt? Why Matt of all people? Am I really that easy to replace?"
TK almost laughed at Tai's comments about Matt. "Come on Tai. Don't be like this."
Tai looked at him, red eyed. "Why not?" He yelled. "Why can't I be like this? For over fifteen years I have been stuck in the Digital World! I haven't lead a normal life since I was fourteen. I haven't seen my sister in fourteen years! And I'm stuck in the body of a twenty one year old! I lost my first love to my best friend! Why can't I be like that TK? Why in hells name can't I be sad or angry or whatever?"
"Do you think you're the only one suffering? I lost my wife and thought she was dead for fourteen years. I missed my daughter's entire life. I'm stuck as a nineteen year old! Your not the only one stuck in this world! Your not the only one who has lost the one you love! I know what its like, Tai. Don't snap at me!"
Tai was about to reply when there was a large crash from outside. They both looked up and Andie ran to the window. Outside there was a huge green praying mantis looking thing. Ken was riding on its back. Tai and TK came up behind her. "Ken!" Tai yelled.
"He's here for me!" Andie said as she backed away from the window.
"We won't let him near you," TK smiled. "We'll take care of him. What I want you to do is go to the back and hide. Take this." He handed a gold necklace with a yellow symbol on it. "It means-"
"Hope," she interrupted.
He smiled again. "Go hide." She slipped the necklace over her neck and ran to the backroom where she had awoken before. The room was a little dark and she looked around, hoping to find some kind of cover. There really was none so she slipped inside the closet.
The sounds of explosions and fighting drifted into the room. 'I know you're in there, Andie,' Ken's voice said in her head. 'Your mine!'
She bit her lip and fingered the necklace around her neck. "I'll fight you all the way, Ken," she whispered.
There was more crashing and it was coming closer. "I'll fight…" she whispered. Just then the closet door splintered into a million pieces, each one flying in her face. She rubbed her eyes trying to remove the wood.
"Twin sickles!" A voice yelled. A horrible pain raced through her arm. She blindly placed a hand over the pained spot and felt a warm liquid spilling out. Something sharp was placed against her neck. "Stand up and move out!"
'Just fight…' She stood up, still unable to see. "No! You can't take me," she yelled. She felt something warm fly from her hands and a scream rang in her ears. A feeling of darkness and power rushed through her body.
'You are no better then me. You killed an innocent Snimon who was only doing my dark deeds in pure blood. Your no better then me,' Ken taunted in her head.
"NO!" She yelled back, still blind. "I am nothing like you. I-I'm good!"
"That's what you think." Ken was no longer in her head. "Your uncle and father are preoccupied with a double of myself. No, I mean, they just destroyed me. So, times up. You and I have places to go." A cold hand grabbed her arm and the floor under her changed from wood to stone.
"What happened? What'd you do?" She screamed. Her eyes hurt and tears ran down her face.
"Your back in my care, young Andie," he replied. Then his presence in her head was gone.
