Davis was lying in bed, thinking. Pretty rare occurrence, him thinking, but nevertheless...
*Man, I'm really starting to get tired of having to compete with that ass-hole T.K. for Kari's affections. Why won't she just make a choice and tell him straight out that he's not her type?*
He sighed. *I don't understand it! Somehow he never really gets on her wrong side, even though he's such a bastard. Shit! I really should try to get her to see how much better for her I am...*
All of a sudden, a voice entered his head. *Would you like a chance?*
Davis sat up in a flash. "Who said that?!"
*No one said anything... mhm mhm... technically...*
"Who... no, WHERE are you?"
*For all it matters, I'm in your head. Mhm, mhm. Don't worry, I'm not here to mess with it... not that there's much to mess with... mhm...*
The insult passed right over... well, right through his head, if you'll excuse the pun. "So what is it you said at first?"
*Geez... um-- oh yeah. Mhm, mhm. Would you like a chance to prove yourself to be better than T.K. in the eyes of your beloved?*
Davis grabbed at the opportunity. "YES!"
*Whoah, hey, don't yell! Mhm mhm. You can just think.*
*Yeah... ok. I'd like to try it.*
*Perfect. Now, Davis, here's what you need to do...*
*Wait-- how do you know my name?
*Shut up and listen to the plan! Mhm, mhm.*
*****
T.K. was lying in bed also, at the same time, thinking similar thoughts.
*Man, one day Davis is really going to mess up my relationship with Kari. I just don't get how she could like him! He's so-- so-- AARRGH!!!*
He shifted in bed. *And he practically fawns over her whenever she's around! He would have asked only her to come to his stupid game, but she insisted that everyone came. See, she's smart! That's why I like her! And, of course...*
All of a sudden, a voice entered his head. *Would you like a chance?*
T.K. frowned. *WTF... I'm hearing things.*
*Yeah... mhm mhm... me.*
T.K. kept his cool. *Who... no, WHAT are you?*
*For what it counts, I could be your best friend. Mhm, mhm. Don't worry, I'm not here to harm you... I'm here to help you. Mhm.*
The implication smacked him right in his face.. *Then you'll really help me get rid of Davis and have Kari all for myself?*
*Geez... ya think?. Mhm, mhm. So you would like a chance to prove yourself to be better than Davis in the eyes of your beloved?*
T.K. grabbed at the opportunity. "YES!"
*Whoah, hey, don't yell! Mhm mhm. I'm right here.*
*Yeah... ok. I'd like to try it.*
*Perfect. Now, T.K., here's what you need to do...*
*Say-- how do you know my name?*
*Shut up and listen to the plan! Mhm, mhm.*
*****
The next day was a regular school day, and everything happened as normal. Until school ended...
Everyone met at the usual spot, which meant Davis, Kari, T.K., Yolei and Cody. They chattered a bit, but then T.K. and Davis went really somber.
"Say, T.K., could you come with me to the computer lab for a second?"
"Sure, Davis, I was about to ask you the same thing."
They were too wrapped up in the complications of the plans they had memorized, and didn't notice that both wanted to do the same thing. Kari, however, suspected that they were going to have a scrap, maybe even in the Digital World, and so she followed discreetly, telling the last two people of the group she'd be back soon.
When they got there, both jumped apart from each other and grinned evilly. Both uttered some silly-sounding words, at exactly the same time: "BOKO GAZIBU/ZIZOBI NUKOKU/NUBOKO GAZIBU/ZIGI ZIBIDA/DO!!!" At this last word, all the screens in the computer lab began flickering with a strange light, which surrounded the two boys.
Kari, having observed all this, rushed into the room. "T.K.! Davis! What are you doing?!"
They both turned to her and said, now completely synchronous: "Don't worry, Kari. I'll be done soon. I just have to take care of this dangerous fool. He is endangering our relationship." Their voices were dead flat. They turned back to each other. "Now you may prepare to die."
Just as the glow intensified, Demi-Veemon and Patamon hopped/flew into the room. "Hey guys!" said Demi-Veemon. "What's going--"
Both boys turned, losing the dead expressions. But before anyone could do anything, a grey light enveloped all five of them... and they were gone.
Yolei and Cody burst in a second later. They'd seen the light and knew going to the Digital World didn't do that. But no one was there...
*****
Davis and T.K. stood in a room of absolute blackness. There was no light, but they could see themselves and their Digimon perfectly. Veemon and Patamon were looking around, aimlessly.
"Where the hell are we?" asked Davis, quite bewildered. This wasn't what he had been told...
"Don't ask me!" T.K. didn't understand either. And unlike Davis he realized that they'd both done the same thing to each other, which T.K. had assumed only HE had been told.
This being might not be as benefactory as he'd first thought...
"Well," Davis smirked, "pretty soon you'll be outta my face and outta me and Kari's way. Whaddaya think about that, huh?"
T.K. frowned. "We'll see, chump-boy."
"Where the hell did you come up with that?"
Veemon and Patamon shook their heads. "Oh, man..." said Veemon. "I really don't think this is a good thing."
"No kidding," replied Patamon. "Hey, wait... you turned into Veemon, so that must mean we're in the Digital World!"
A voice came from the encroaching darkness. "Actually, Patamon, that's half right. Mmph, mmhm" Everyone snapped to attention and looked around, but there was no apparent source of the voice.
Davis laughed nastily at T.K. "This is where you go down."
T.K. ignored him. "Hey!" he yelled out. "This isn't what we agreed on! And how did he know to do as I did?"
The voice came again. "Well, to be honest with you... I actually WASN'T honest with you before. Mhm, mhm. Either of you."
"Either...?" Davis was struggling to catch up.
"Still, did either of you expect to get an easy win on this one? Mmhm, mhm! The prize is quite a valuble one, to both of you..." In the darkness, another figure became visible-- hanging limp in the air, Kari appeared in front of them.
Both boys forgot enmity for a few moments. "KARI!!!" both cried out.
"Oh, don't worry, she's not hurt. In fact, she's watching you right now, from outside her body. She's agreed to... mmph, mmhm... judge, in a way."
Davis did the foolhardy thing, and ran towards her. But he didn't move from his spot. He was running, quite hard, but getting anywhere at all. "What the...?"
"Ah-ah-ahhh, no touching the spoils of war, as it were, mhm, mhm. I've decided that you two are going to go through a series of tests. This is really the best thing to do, especially for Kari... and I have to admit, I believe I myself might have a soft spot for her--"
"Don't you touch her!" T.K. growled.
"Hey, c'mon! I'm omnipotent, I don't need to bother with mortal lives! I can find better sources of pleasure! Mhm, mhm. No offense, of course. But you should be glad that I'm finally getting this thing over for you."
Patamon and Veemon weren't liking this one bit. "And how can we be sure that you won't hurt either of THEM?" asked Patamon.
"Hey... they can only hurt themselves. Well, Kari's eventual decision might hurt one of them too... but that isn't really my problem. Don't worry, though-- mmhm, mhm-- I'll make sure nothing else hurts them."
"And how can we be sure?"
"Look, what reason-- what POSSIBLE reason-- would someone as powerful as me have for lying to you? I'm quite secure in my superiority, thank you very much. Mmph mmhm."
"Well, I'm ready!" said Davis, ever the optimist.
"Yeah, count me in too," said T.K. somberly.
"Very well. Mhm, mhm. Let the tests begin!"
*Man, I'm really starting to get tired of having to compete with that ass-hole T.K. for Kari's affections. Why won't she just make a choice and tell him straight out that he's not her type?*
He sighed. *I don't understand it! Somehow he never really gets on her wrong side, even though he's such a bastard. Shit! I really should try to get her to see how much better for her I am...*
