A SHADOW OF THE PAST

DISCLAIMER:I do not own digimon. Oh how I wish I did. Then I would... um anyways! The only thing I own is my characters. (I.E. the digimon I invented!) Enjoy! PS I finally have a chapter with TK and Kari!
Chapter 5-
^Shadowmon's castle^
When she finally woke up, all Kari could see was darkness. The last thing she could remember was being sucked through a blinding light after the discovery of her crest. That's when she remembered about the boy who had found her crest.
"TK?" she called out hoping he was ok. The reply she got startled her.
"Kari? Is that you?" replied an unusually high but familiar young male voice. She quickly recognized it though.
"TK! Where are you? And what happened to your voice? You sound like you're 8 years old again." She asked hoping he was somewhere nearby. She heard movement then something warm brushed against her hand. She stifled a gasp.
"Kari, I hope that was you cause if it wasn't then we're not alone in here." Asked TK much closer than he was just seconds ago.
"Yeah." She replied suddenly feeling the need to whisper. She held up her hand and felt it go through TK's hair. For a second she kept her hands there until she felt TK sit down beside her against the wall.
"What happened to your voice?" She repeated.
"I don't know but I feel shorter, too." He replied.
Suddenly a light erupted in front of them and they were finally able to see what they looked like. They both gasped at what they saw.
"Welcome." Greeted an icy feminine voice from the doorway. A shadowy figure stepped up to the bars surrounding the cell they were in.
"You are in you 8 year old bodies. My name is Shadowmon, and I have an offer for you. We can make this easy or I can take you by force. Either way you'll have to take the offer. Let's make this easy." Said the figure. She looked like a 20-year-old lady with shoulder-length hair and a figure-hugging dress that reached the floor. It was long-sleeved but billowed out at the elbows. She carried a staff that had a glowing crystal ball floating above it. Inside it seemed as if live shadows were swimming in it.
"What kind of offer?" asked Kari, cautiously. The figure slightly intimidated her.
"I want you two to join me on the dark side and help bring the digital world to its knees." She hissed with a laugh.
"Never!" replied Kari and TK as he moved protectively in front of Kari.
"We'll never join you." Added TK.
"Fine. I kind of figured you would say that, but when I'm through with you, you'll wish you had reconsidered when I gave you the chance." Then she snapped her fingers and a new digimon appeared at her side. He was short and only just came to her waist. He looked like a small child, about five or six, but Kari and TK knew not to judge a book by its cover. Especially when it came to digimon. Then it spoke up with a hoarse whisper.
"May I begin?" it asked with seemingly innocent eyes watching Shadowmon for a sign.
"Yes." She replied without looking at the tiny digimon. "TK, Kari, let me introduce you to my loyal Memorymon. He has the ability to probe your memory and manipulate your dreams." She introduced the creature. It took a slight bow then held up a hand with his palm facing TK. Suddenly a fog like ball formed in his palm and shot out at TK.
"ILLUSION!" he named his attack. "Show him his worst nightmare."
Then the ball hit TK and quickly swallowed his body in a thick fog. The last thing she heard from him was his scream
"AAHH! Kari! NOO!" he cried out her name and she instantly knew what his dream was. She rushed to where he had fallen and tried to assure him that she was indeed fine. But TK wouldn't respond. With her back turned to Shadowmon and her Memorymon, he launched a different attack, this time aimed at Kari.
"Dream walk." He called and she was hit from behind. The last thing she remembered before going into a deep sleep was the ear-piercing scream she emitted in vain.
~~~~~
Slowly she opened her eyes and noticed she was nowhere near the castle she last remembered being. Not knowing anyone could hear her she thought aloud.
"Where am I?" a soft comforting voice answered her question.
"You are in a dream." Somehow the voice made her feel calm and unafraid.
"What?" she asked the voice. She wanted to know how it happened.
Memorymon has put you in a dream state and is tapping into yours and TK's memories. You cannot stop him or wake unless he wants you to." The voice replied sounding caring. Kari was horrified to know what was happening to her and TK and know she was powerless to stop it. But the sound of the voice was so soothing and hopeful she couldn't help but feel carefree.
"Do not worry." The voice advised. "Believe in your inner powers, your friends and yourself most of all. You will triumph." Then Kari remembered the question she had wanted to ask from the start.
"Who are you?"
I am the being of the light." The voice replied "kind of like your guardian angel."
"Oh." And with that she suddenly realized she was being shaken to wake up.
"Kari!"
~~~~~
"Kari!" He repeated. He was trying hard to wake her up. When he had woken up, TK had noticed at once that the digimon were nowhere in sight. But when he saw his angel lying in a heap beside him all other thoughts were banished from his mind. He had picked her up in his lap and was gently shaking her.
"Please wake up!" he pleaded with her limp body. He didn't have to wait long because her eyes started to flutter and open. She looked up into his eyes and whispered,
"T...K?"
"Yeah it's me are you alright?" he asked, worry clearly written all over his face. She looked at herself and noticed she was being cradled in TK's lap. She blushed and turned away before answering.
"I'm fine." TK also noticed the position they were in and let go of her letting her get up.
"Well that's good, I was getting worried." He said not looking at her face. 'Dummy, you know she likes Davis so back off.' He quickly chastised himself for doing such a selfish act, like holding her.
Then a cold voice from behind them announced her presence.
"Good to see you're awake. Do you give up yet?" she asked
"No" they replied simply.
"Fine then. Meet another loyal servant of mine. She's a one of a kind. Her name is Icemon. She has much more power than that Memorymon you met before. I should warn you though she has a pretty mean Freeze attack. And her ice shards attack is the worst. Don't know what an ice shards attack is? Then let's show her shall we." Then she motioned to the other humanoid digimon, which had a blue crystalline form. She also looked like a teenager.
"Ice shards!" She shouted and launched a painful set of needle sharp icicles at the pair. Since they had nowhere to hide they had to deal with the pain of thousands of needles hitting their bodies.
Then just as suddenly as it had started the attack stopped.
"Do you give up?" asked the cold voice that belonged to Shadowmon. "You know you will eventually so lets make it quick. You'll give up hope that you'll ever be rescued by your worthless friends. You'll end up dying and then who'll protect Kari? Huh?" she taunted TK. But when he refused to answer she got mad.
"Fine! Do what you will just don't kill him just yet." She said to the Icemon and walked away. Just as the Icemon attacked Shadowmon could hear TK's statement.
"No!" cried TK. He refused to give up. "I'll never... ever...g-give up... hope!!!" he yelled the last word and suddenly his crest started glowing. It erupted into a bright golden barrier, knocking the digimon into Shadowmon and prevented them from hurting the two children.
~~~~~
"Ohmigosh! Tai! Matt! What happened?"
To be continued...
Ha ha I'm feeling particularly evil now. What a great cliffhanger! What happened to Tai and Matt? Weren't they just at Gennai's house safely protected from anything? What is this new barrier? Review and I'll get the next chapter up A.S.A.P.
'Till next time!!
