He was frightened, well kind of. He couldn't understand where he was but it was clear it was some part of the digital world. The figure sitting the chair rose and turned around.
"Takeru Takaishi?" he said and his eyes widened in alarm. This Izzy hair was long, and in bald except for the long red French braided pony tail. The same hazel red eyes scrutinized the younger boy making sure it was who he said he was. "How did you get here?"
"I got here through a gateway and what's up Izzy? I mean I see digimon running around and all. I mean did I miss something when I fell off the roof of my apartment building?" Tk asked almost shouting.
"You never fell off Takeru. You were dead before then. When Piedmon had taken over Taichi Kamiya's body he had killed you when you protected Kari and he had been able to call his minions when you died. Ever since the world is plagued by the Taiedmon as he calls himself now. Our people have told us he's building a new body for himself. A stronger more powerful one. If only we had our digimon back then we might have a fighting chance but Tentomon was taken from me and was turned into a slave of the Empire. Patamon fell into a deep chronic sleep when you died. Maybe just maybe he can wake up now."
"Can I ask you something Izzy?" Tk silently whispered and the red haired boy nodded. "Ken Ichijouji was the Digimon Emporer in my time. He ended up being released by the golden digiegg. What happened to him in this time that he never became the Digimon Emporer?"
"He grew up and he watched as his brother Sam, joined the Empire. He was against everything the Empire stood for so he decided to join us and that's when he found his crest of Kindness and Wormmon appeared." Izzy said leading the younger but taller and muscled more digidestined of Hope to a wall with a small orb in it. "Computer Password: Takeru Takaishi." He nodded for Tk to say something.
"Hello?" Tk's voice rang and the computer came to life. The wall blasted with green energy as the green colored D-3 came into existence. Tk's crest from his neck flared to life and a glimmer appeared which popped out a small orange winged creature. "Patamon!" he cried and Patamon air-tackled Tk to the ground.
"I knew you didn't die! I am so happy Tk!!!" He said. Patamon continued.. " Your the Paragon of Hope! We will beat the Empire and everything will go back to normal!" Izzy stared at Patamon as the words ran out of his mouth.
"Paragon! What? Your one of the ancient Paragons!!!" Izzy shouted. Silence flew across the room and then broke with an alarm and a dreadful voice announced the following statement from the computer:
ODAIBA NATIONAL BANK REFUGEES ATTACKED BY BIRDRAMON
"Oh no!" Izzy said. He hadn't thought the enemy would learn so soon that where many banked was a storage house for refugees. He looked at Tk, and Tk looked back with the same compassionate look he always gave in the old days. "Tk, I know...you may not want to...but.."
"You want me and Patamon to go into the city and battle Birdramon? No problem. Just get us there. We're the Hope for the city being Its us who are the only ones that can really fight and since Patamon can digivolve to Magna-Angemon we should have no problem right?"
"Just take this key and hold onto Patamon, and you will be transported into the bank. It won't get you back so you'll have to find a transport station. I will do all I can to keep you informed." Izzy told him pushing his ponytail out of his face and his dark hues gleamed at Tk wishing him the best of luck.
"I want to find Kari. If she's still alive...." Tk whispered to himself and taking the card firmly into his hand and holding onto Patamon with the other, he placed the key card into a green slot and in a microsecond with a yell of exasperation Tk and Patamon vanished into the computer hoping they would be all right once they reached their destination.
Falling into a wall of, well, money Tk and Patamon grunted at the same time. "When should I digivolve Tk?" the minuscule creature asked his paragon. The boy looked at the digimon and put a finger to his lips. He could hear such, a familiar voice. A voice he hadn't heard since earlier that day in his own reality. It was female, and young but not too young. It had a harsh voice but he realized that he had to battle his maybe-one-day brother-in-law's girlfriend. And that girlfriend was Sora Takenouchi.
"Well, well. Look at what we have here. Master Taiedmon will be pleased to hear I captured many of the people and digimon who are against his teachings and you all will be severely punished. She took her whip, and smacked it across the ground, the Tsunomon and the few humans quivered in fear, hearing the cries of the deranged Birdramon.
"Not if I can help it." a voice echoed through the next room. Sora gasped, she had heard that voice before, but it couldn't be. She denied hearing anything and was about to smack a Tsunomon with her sharp whip when she heard "Boom Bubble...Huff!" and a invisible but strong wave of air smacked her hand and send the whip flying. The captives eyebrows(even those who had none) were surprised but joyful.
"It Can't be!" she cried. Her red hair bangs died black, felt like everything, all the darkness she had consumed herself with was leaving her. Takeru Takaishi alive? Impossible? It had to be an illusion but her hand did hurt. How did the Patamon revive itself? It seemed Impossible to think that a bond so strong with the digidestined could of re-awakened it.
"You thought wrong bitch. I'm sorry for calling you that but the way you are treating those people, are not just and good at all. I thought you were the symbol of love Sora. I love you, and, well I still do. Patamon! Digivolve!" His crest glew ever so brightly along with his D-3.
"Patamon.....digivolve...to......Angemon." was the familiar voice that the smallest digimon cried and in a blast of furious light, and a surrounding of white angel feathers the tiny digimon had vanished and reappeared with a holy angel of greatness. "I'll go distract Birdramon." He cried flying through the decapitated roof going to battle an old friend.
"It's impossible. Your supposed to be dead Takeru." Sora said shocked. She was so delirious she was shaking. She fell and hit the wall. Tk couldn't tell if she was faking. Maybe his power as a paragon could release healing and rectify the love that she had for her mother and for Tai, the real Tai. He walked over and knelt down, but something told him he shouldn't so he stepped back right before....
"Hand of Fate." A voice shouted and a groan was heard. A vicious grown as a large orange bird fell through the roof of the bank. "Tk! Get everyone out." That was an understatement. Seeing the Force Captain freak out the digimon and humans had run for cover and gone to the transport stations. Tk grabbed onto Angemon and saw that Birdramon had de-digivolved and was now back to rookie, Biyomon.
"We have to save them!" Tk cried. Angemon was going to disagree but when he saw Tk's look of persistance he picked up the pink bird and the young raven-haired woman and flew towards the park. Landing he de-digivolved and fell into Tk's lap. He mumbled something that Tk took for "I haven't done that in a while" and fell asleep. With the force captain and the bird unconscious, it would be okay to leave them there where they could do no harm. Tk carried Patamon out of the park, but he had tied up the two enemies of his people, to a tree not so tightly that they couldn't escape because he loved them both.
An hour later, Tk and Patamon had returned to the base safely. "What?! You let one of the force captains and her digimon go!! How could you? You fool! I can't believe in your first battle you leave your enemy to survive and grow stronger." Ken raved at Tk. Tk sat there, Patamon still resting peacefully in his lap.
"I did what was right. I didn't see you out there Ichijouji. There was a time to talk and a time to fight. I fought and being that she is not the enemy I didn't see any reason to let her die because we're after this "Taiedmon." So excuse me. She may not be the Sora I remember but she is Sora and I am not going to let anyone die. Not even Tai!" He said, Patamon shaking but not waking from Tk's soft yell.
"I think what Tk did was smart and right Ken. The Takaishi wins this round. Don't worry you'll get your say in eventually. Anyway, now that a Force Captain has seen Tk in the flesh there will be search parties all over the city to arrest him. I need you to go and find Kari." Izzy told him.
"What?! Go after Taiedmon's sister?!! You have got to be joking!!! I am not doing anything so horrendous to risk my own life. Send lover boy to her. He knows her better than anyone else. Send him." He said and hadn't noticed his own digimon, Wormmon appear beside him who started to say something.
"The thing is Ken, that we don't know exactly where Kari is. Our informants say that Kari is being imprisoned in the Heat Towers. We don't know which of the four though. We need to check out two while our other informants do." Tk looked at the green insectoid digimon about to object, to say that Kari was his responsibility, that he had made a promise. "We aren't going to risk the Paragon's life by sending him into an ambush and a trap. Please Ken, we're one of the only hopes. By retrieving the Paragon of Light we can re-new those tormented by General Taiedmon. We have to do something. Please." And he climbed up Ken's shoulder waiting for him to say something.
"All right. Wormmon has convinced me. We will go save the Light of the world." Ken said sharply and shortly. He had changed his attire. Now he wore an old uniform with the name "Gus" on the breast-pocket. It had been a uniform of a gas station, Tk realized.
Tk was thinking. What was the "Light" of the world? What did that have to do with it? Did it have anything to do with Cheyne? He was actually well...he had been told he wouldn't have to bow and wouldn't be needed to ask. "What do you mean by "Light of the world Ken? I don't really understand the concept of how Kari is the "Light." I mean she is the keeper of the light and that light and hope bring faith but how is she the light?"
"Because you fool. She is the one that can bring Taiedmon to his knees. For after you had died the hope he had stolen from you mysteriously returned and she grew strong, and was a danger to the General. Because of this she was taken to the four towers of which Izzy spoke of before. With her help, we could restore power by restoring the power at the four towers for they are the keys to bring harmony and life back into the world and the total annihilation of Piedmon, the spirit and then you, will be able to finally get off this wretched planet!"
"I have something to say before you two throw your lives away." Izzy said softly to the young boys' ears. "We know Kari is the key to the destruction of the Piedmon spirit but she'll be well guarded and we need to do something before hand. What we need to do is revive Tentomon to his normal state and that's where you come in Tk, with your holy crest and digivice by forcing him to digivolve you can break the spell that Piedmon cast over him and we'd have a digivolving spy."
"I have a better idea. Tk and I will go rescue Kari. All you two have to do is make sure that Tentomon is there waiting for us." Patamon said smartly and Izzy had a foreboding feeling.
"Izzy as bait? Excellent. Now there's one more thing we have to do." Ken said.
Five voices shouted the exact same thing in a moments notice "Let's go save the Light of the World!!!"
