A SHADOW OF THE PAST
Author's notes at bottom
DISCLAIMER:I do not own digimon. Oh how I wish I did. Then Sorato wouldn't exist!! Also they would get out the new episodes FASTER!! The show wouldn't end, need I say more?... um anyways! The only things I own are my characters. (I.E. the digimon I invented!) Enjoy! I hope you know I just paste this part from all the other chapters! It saves time.
"Devimon, I command you to... kill the bearer of light." TK said his voice reflecting Shadowmon's rage towards the children.
The last thing they heard before Devimon attacked was Tai's devastated cry.
"NOO!!!" the attack went right to her and was so powerful it destroyed the bars around her. Luckily though she wasn't killed instantly but she screamed all the same. It was her scream of pain that was able to free TK from the evil. The attacks hadn't totally gotten rid of the goodness inside of him. When he finally dispelled the evil he saw the chaos that had arisen. He almost died when he saw Kari's mangled body being cradled by her brother.
"What have I done? KARI!! No!" he screamed as his clothes returned to their original green colour. When he said this Devimon was destroyed and Angemon arose from the ashes.
Shadowmon was furious. Her plan had backfired and slapped her in the face.
"No you fool. You're supposed to be on my side!" she screamed at TK. But the 8 year old ignored her. He ran to Kari's side but was stopped by Matt.
"You haven't defeated me yet!!" she yelled almost triumphantly. "You have destroyed the angel of light and I still have 2 digimon left that came from the past. Meet Piedmon and Venommyotismon!" and with a spine tingling cackle she disappeared, leaving the digidestined to fight the mega digimon. TK couldn't help himself. He collapsed in the middle of the room. He knew everything Shadowmon had said was true. Kari was going to die and Shadowmon would take over the entire digital world and the real world too. All because he had fallen for a digimon trick. It was his fault.
'I wish I could fix all of this. I wish Kari wouldn't die. I wish it was me lying there instead of her.' He thought to himself.
"TK! Angemon has to digivolve to save us and Kari!" Matt yelled, snapping TK back to reality. Piedmon had already launched an attack but had missed.
'I have to fix this it's all up to me' he thought and Angemon digivolved to Magnaangemon returning TK to normal. He didn't notice the change though, he was focused on the battle with Piedmon. Tai and Matt held out their digivices to Gabumon and Agumon and in an instant they were at the mega level.
"Yeah we've broken the rift too!" shouted Tai as he watched Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon join the fight with Piedmon. Matt agreed nodding his hand. He was finally happy. He had his little brother back and safe but he felt a pang of guilt when he noticed that Tai might lose Kari. He lowered his eyes to the ground when something caught his eyes. His hand was still firmly locked with Mimi's.
He blushed and let her go. But he got a surprise when he tried to let her go. She held on tighter. He looked up into her eyes and saw his feelings reflected through them. He gave a small smile and hugged her. He never wanted to let her go.
The digimon finally defeated the last two evil digimon and sent them back to the past where they belonged. The group ran towards the little girl lying in a heap on the ground. TK got to her first.
"Kari?" he said his eyes had started to get puffy from his tears. He couldn't stop them, though. She was just barely alive and was struggling for each breath. She carefully opened her eyes and looked straight into the boy's eyes.
"T...TK...goodbye T..." she stuttered but was unable to finish her goodbye. All at once her body became limp in his arms and her head slumped to one side.
"KARI!" he shouted not wanting to believe that she was gone. But the expert shattered his hopes.
"I'm sorry but she's gone." Joe said stepping up to TK and placing a hand on his shoulder. TK ignored him.
"No, please. Please you can't be dead. You can't just leave me all alone. Not now. I need you. I never had the chance to tell you how much you mean to me. I care about you so much. With out you my life isn't worth living. You mean everything to me. You can't leave. I...I love y-you. Please don't take her away for my mistakes." He pleaded. "Please don't leave, I love you."
Davis decided to be daring and opened his mouth. What he said was not what anyone was expecting,
"Um...TK, it wasn't really your fault. You were being controlled. You didn't kill her." He said getting astounded looks from Yolei, ken and Cody. The others were watching TK and Kari. Tai was the next one to speak even though his voice was barely audible.
"My... baby sister... no...not this time. Not after what she's already been through." He said between sobs. Sora put her arms around Tai and gave him the biggest hug she could. Even though she knew it wouldn't help much she wanted to do something other than stand around. She was surprised when he fell apart in her arms.
'I should just tell her how I feel. I don't want to lose her, too.' He thought to himself as he whispered three little words into her ear.
"I love you." He said "Sora" he added so she would know who he was saying it to. He heard her gasp but then got the response he had only dreamed about. She held on to him tighter.
"Oh, Tai I don't ever want to lose you." She whispered back. "I love you too."
~~~And now everyone is saying "ahhh." and smiling even though Kari is DEAD!! Don't worry this isn't the end of the chapter so don't start thinking of what you are gonna say in your flames read on... they still have to meet Gatomon. Oh and this is just a little note not a scene change...~~~
"What's that light?" asked Cody bringing everyone back to the moment. They looked to where he was looking and saw that all of their crests were glowing. They had been connected by beams of light to a point high above their heads. It was like the light that helped defeat Venommyotismon and Apocalymon and the one that had taken over Kari's body 6 years ago.
Then the light spoke. Its voice was similar to Kari's.
"Yes I am the same light that used Kari's body before. The reaction of all your crests created me. In the last minute all characteristics were shown by one or the other. Tai showed courage admitting his feelings to Sora." At this both teens started to blush. But this did not stop the light from continuing. "When TK expressed his deepest secret he showed love and sincerity. When Davis stood up to TK he not only showed courage, and kindness but friendship, too. Izzy had started to notice this light and had figured out who I was before anyone noticed I was present. Knowledge. And Sora and Mimi showed reliability to both Matt and Tai." She finished.
Izzy noticed two missing.
"But what about hope and light?" he asked not knowing what answer he might get.
"Ah yes. Kari and TK's characteristics. TK, when you knew Kari was dead you still kept the faith that she would live, that there was a way to save her. You kept the hope. And as for light, here I am. I come from all of your crests. And now I will help grant a few of your wishes." She said with a smile and lowered herself into Kari's body.
'I wish I could fix all of this. I wish Kari wouldn't die. I wish it was me lying there instead of her.' He remembered what he wished for and wondered if this light really could bring Kari back to life...
Should I leave it there??? Or should I get to the good parts? Hmmm... ok you win.
As the light disappeared Kari started to stir. She fluttered her eyes until they finally stayed open.
"T...K." was the first thing she said. Tk was so overjoyed he couldn't help but lift her tiny 8-year-old body into the air and dance with delight. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. They finally had their light back.
"What's going on?" she asked bewildered by the sudden change in mood. Then she noticed that TK wasn't evil either. "How come you aren't evil either?" she asked TK.
His face sobered up quickly at the thought of what had happened.
"You...y-you died before. And it was your death that changed me back. But now your alive and I couldn't be happier." He announced. "My best friend survived ME!" he shouted laughingly. He had decided to try to lighten the mood by announcing that he was ok with the fact that he had almost caused the death of his most valued friend.
Tai was once again crying but these were tears of joy. Not only did he have his sister back but he also had Sora.
"I hate to be the downer of the group but Shadowmon will want revenge for losing both Kari and TK and Kari's still eight. We have no idea where to find Gatomon and we also don't know how to find the digimon that can match Shadowmon's powers." Interrupted Yolei.
"Then let's go to Gennai's." said Tai.
~~~~~
"NOOOOOO!!!! They were not supposed to revive her!!! She was dead!!! I have nothing to worry about though because the digimon that can match my powers doesn't even exist!!! Ha ha ha ha!" Shadowmon cackled evilly. She obviously knew something the digidestined and Gennai didn't.
"I better destroy them before they find this digimon." And with that she disappeared into the shadows.
~~~~~
"I hope you know that when we get to Gennai's house we'll have to explain all of this to Yolei, Cody Ken and Davis." Said Sora.
"I know." Replied Tai. He had his head on her shoulder. They were finding the walk back to be somewhat faster now that they didn't have to stop and defeat digimon along the way.
"I hate to be a downer but what happens if we meet with Shadowmon?" asked Yolei.
"We'll fight her." Replied TK, his voice stern. Kari was walking behind him. They had entered a clearing when they were stopped by a familiar cackling above them.
"Well now's your chance." She hissed before she pounced at the nearest digidestined. Cody. He dodged the oncoming digimon. Armadillomon digivolved to Ankylomon. Since she wasn't from the past it wouldn't hurt to help the others fight her.
"Everyone digivolve!" shouted Yolei.
Yes I know it has a crappy end to it but this is where I'm cutting it off. Last chapter I wrote some stuff that would happen right? Well most of that if not all will be in the next chapter. I'm glad you guys are enjoying this story so far. I'm even thinking of doing a prologue to this story so you can understand some of this. I am also planning on doing a sequel to this. If I get tons of reviews asking for it I'll start it. Hey wow no dumb questions this time! You're lucky. I'll save that till next chapter if it isn't the last one! Now on to chapter 10!!!
