Tk had no idea how to rescue their friend, the red-shelled insect-type Digimon called Tentomon. He didn't know how he was going to do it because he had never thought that the digimon would be needed to save his love, Kari. He looked down at Patamon, his own digimon partner, companion, and greatest friend. The orange wings and the white belly as well as the gleaming emerald eyes showed that the creature was kind and very gentle. "Patamon, do you have any idea on how to rescue Tentomon?" he asked quietly.
"Sorry Tk. I don't. I wish Izzy was with us. He could of told us again how we were gonna do it. But I know that we'll save Kari. We have to, and Gatomon too." He said in a small but strong sounding voice. It seemed that the small winged digimon had some kind of affection with the cat in this time as well. He grunted and pointed out to Tk the four towers in which one was the resting place of Hikari and her digital monster.
The two friends heard steps behind them and turned around to see Wormmon riding on his digidestined's shoulder like Tk remember it. Ken was still wearing the gas uniform. "The plan Takeru is that Wormmon and myself are to create a diversion in the second tower while you and Patamon remove Tentomon out of stasis lock and then we will go on and meet the General's sister." Ken said in a cold hard voice. Tk noticed Ken's hair was longer than in his world and he didn't want to know why.
"Why don't you rescue Tentomon while we rescue Kari? It makes sense. You seem to know where everything is. Just tell me where they keep Kari and I will be back in a flash with Patamon." Tk said out-of-the-blue. He had changed his clothes as well. He was wearing a green sweat shirt and dark navy sweatpants with the name "Yamato" stitched into the front leg.
"Sorry that won't happen. We don't even know where she's being held and I am not risking this mission for some Lightbearer who can't help herself. I am sorry Takeru but we can't help your little bit...." And Tk smashed his hand into Ken's face faster than ever.
"Don't you ever call my girlfriend that you bastard." Tk growled. Patamon was shocked at Tk's behavior. He had never seen Tk act like that before. He fluttered to Tk's head and squatted on it. "Tk, I've never seen you act like that? What's wrong?? Really." He whispered. He didn't get an answer until about seven minutes later when Tk finally spoke.
"Ken, I am sorry for hitting you but you have no right to call Kari what you were going to. I don't care if she isn't the Kari from my world. I still love her and I am going to save her." The young blonde boy said with determination in his voice and at that moment his crest began to glow brightly. He looked down at the heat rising and he removed it from under his shirt. "It's Kari. She's close. She's...." and Tk went into a trance. In it he only saw the third tower gleaming pink and gold. He felt something touch him, something soft.
"Takeru! Snap out of it!! Are we going to do this or not!?" Ken Ichijouji screamed at him. His face was still red from the other's fist. He was actually surprised that the boy had done it, had released his anger, his rage. He liked that kid and maybe soon they'd fight, a real fight but not that day or the next but later in life.
"Kari..she's..." and he pointed towards the third tower, a tower of sapphire, or so it looked. It seemed to have something familiar about it, that Tk had seen before. He couldn't place it. There was something about that tower that gave him dejavu. He knew that somewhere in that complex Kari was being held against her will and knew he had to do something to stop it.
"That's great Tk!!" the pint-sized Digimon told Tk. Tk smiled at the digimon and exhaled. Patamon, saw something as well. Something he would of never forgotten but he couldn't tell Tk yet or it would stop him from continuing his quest to save his beloved and that's what he wanted to do as well: Save his beloved from the wrath of the maniacal Taiedmon or Taichi as he used to be called before he was possessed.
Tk began to climb down the hill towards the city, a good twenty minute walk and Patamon flew after him, Ken and Wormmon right behind them ready to tackle their first rescue mission
********************************************************************
"You won't hold me here forever." The petit voice yelled to the darkness. A computer screen crackled with static but at that moment there was no answer, just the words "Loading" and "Connecting" and finally "Connected" appearing on the screen and the most horrible face the voice's owner could fear: her brother.
"Oh dear Lightbringer. Who will save you? No one. There is no one left to save you after I...killed your beloved. I would make you my slave by the chip but there would be no fun in that. I've let your digimon roam free, allowing it the meager food that it can catch. No one will save you child. Not me, not your weakling of a brother who still thinks by some amazement he can win his own body back. No... I don't see that happening. General Matteo! I want full security on Prisoner: Lightbringer." The voice concluded.
"It will be done your majesty." A voice said. The Lightbringer shivered in fear as she looked up to her captor. The captor was only 17, but had a very bad face. In fact it was the face of someone she once cared for. Someone she looked up to. Someone who loved his little brother, that someone was Yamato Ishida.
************************************************************************
"You sure you can handle the first mission?" the sweatshirt boy asked the gasoline peer. He peered at him and made sure that the package it carried was safe and sound. They didn't want it to pop out and get the group caught.
"We'll create the diversion sweatshirt. Now go and collect your own package! Good luck Takaishi." He said in a mutter. He then ran with the green box towards the first tower hoping he could rescue objective one of their mission while the other rescued his quarry. He ran like a soccer champion and vanished into the sunrise.
"Let's go Pata." Sweatshirt whispered and slowly walked toward the third tower. He hid his parcels well.(Patamon and the crest) Yawning he walked through the front door. No one was in sight, when he thought he heard a familiar voice. Very familiar.
"Metal Garurumon, state your report on the Takaishi bandit."
There was no answer except until Sweatshirt heard "Nothing master. There is no sign of him. The rebels may of created a digital image to scare us and used some technique to make us think the Patamon had arose and digivolved at the bank." The gruff voice replied.
Sweatshirt smirked remembering well the moment that the monstrous Mega-Digimon spoke of. He had saved a group of refugees with the help of Patamon who digivolved into Angemon. The boy couldn't tell how far away the first voice was but it freaked him out a bit because if he thought he knew who it was he could never go against him.
The two troublemakers heard the footsteps, there was nothing special about these footsteps except maybe the one making them. He wore a green uniform, almost like his old school suit. He had an admiral's hat and he had cut his long blonde locks short like a buzz cut but had left a little of the blonde to remind him of the old days when his brother had been alive. He had a job. To keep the Lightbringer in her cell, as well as that creature of hers in control. That was hard enough without his monstrous beast the Mega-Digimon Metal Garurumon. "Hey you!" he cried at a shadow, and the shadow moved, like a shot in the dark. He chased after the shadow and was shocked to hear a voice he hadn't heard in five years.
"Boom Bubble...Pmph!!" and something hit him in the head and knocked him out.
While Patamon took care of the guard, Tk ran for the elevator and felt his crest glow in admiration as it grew brighter and brighter. The elevator door slammed shut as he rode in it, slowly rising towards the top. At the top the door's clinged open and he slowly walked out noticing a growl and hiss.
"Who dares come here? Want some more you son-of-ahhhhh." The feline voice hissed towards the hidden opponent. She noticed the blonde hair, the twenty-four hour seven days a week happy blue eyes. The smile she had always seen when the Lightbringer had been with her beloved. "Tk??!!" she whispered.
"Gatomon?" the voice answered back. He ran into the light and the white furred, golden-tailed ringed digimon with those familiar purple gloves. She hadn't changed a bit except she looked more fierce than before. He smiled at her and knelt down to hug her his crest burst its' holy light healing all the wounds she had endured against the guards of the tower.
"I can't believe it. I can't believe the legend was true Tk!! You came back for your love!! You came back because of it!!! We need you badly!! Kari needs you badly!!" the cat cried at the lover-not-a-fighter.
"Yes, I know Gatomon. We have to get to Kari. Please show me the way!!" and she nodded as he followed her into the dark halls that were for her, and they had to be careful and Tk's last thought before going down that dark tunnel was "I hope Ken and Wormmon are okay."
************************************************************************
"Argh!!" the guard cried. Stingmon had just fired his blade attack and had wounded the guard that was in control of the main super computer. The gasoline guy slugged the human leader into unconsciousness and put his fingers to the keyboard. He inserted everything his leader had told him to place in to reach the "Insect- Bug Program."
"Ken! More are coming our way! Hurry please!" the green bug cried as more troops of the enemy could be seen a hallway away. Ken pressed the keys faster and finally heard a "ding" as the "Tento-no-oh" file began to download and the moniter began to glow brightly.
"The rogue is trying to revive one of the captured Digimon! Code 5!! Code fi....v..." a digimon unknown to anyone cried as Stingmon knocked it's clock into orbit. Sudddenly the file completed and a disk appeared, a blood red disk. Ken grabbed it placing it into his pocket and nodded to his digimon companion.
"See you later suckers!" Ken cried as he threw a few smoke bombs clouding their escape.
************************************************************************
Patamon flew down towards the elevator pressing the button as hard as he could the door finally opening, flying in he turned around to see a hulking creature made of metal coming at full speed toward him but at that moment the door closed leaving the flying mammal digimon alone thankfully.
"This way slowpoke! What are your legs made out of?? Lead?!" Gatomon said as she scampered towards a large iron colored door. The door looked hard to open but suddenly there was a beam of light that he could see covering Gatomon and a door her height appearing in the middle of the door. "Hurry!" She cried and Tk running as fast as he could jump and skid across the floor just making it through the small door.
"Kari. I'm back and you'll never guess who I found." Gatomon cried in exasperation. She looked around the room for Kari but couldn't find her at all. "Kari?" She whispered but another voice, a male voice answered.
"Kari can't play now Gatomon but I'll make sure you can leave her a message!!" Tk looked at the person and was shocked, he fell against the wall and couldn't believe what he was seeing, Kari, being held by a knife at her neck. That wasn't all. He couldn't believe who was holding the knife...it was Davis. Of all the people he thought it could be he never would of thought, the boy who had the biggest crush on the girl who's life was at stake at that moment.
Tk then decided to end the charade and shouted out at Davis. "Hey Motomiya! Let her go! She doesn't belong to you or Tai!!" He ripped off his sweater revealing the glowing jewel of the crest of hope. His muscles seemed slightly larger in the darkness as well as his other features.
"No!!! It's impossible!! Your dead!!!" Motomiya cried unable to take everything in. He dropped the knife and Kari being Kari elbowed him in the stomach causing him to fall backwards. She couldn't tell at first but then she saw the familiar eyes, and hair and ran towards her beloved.
"Tk!! I missed you so much!! I must be dreaming." She said crying softly into her lover's shoulder. She had wrapped her arms around him so tightly making sure he wouldn't just disappear leaving her along and the boy responded by hugging her tightly just the same not letting go. The pink aura returned to them, the room filling with the light of Faith.
"Our faith is reborn Kari. We have to get out of here. Patamon's in danger." Tk whispered. Gatomon looked shocked and nodded to the couple. Removing one of his arms, the other firmly latched the Kari's waist the walked towards the door. Surprisingly the door unlatched and a hiss of steam was heard, the door not having been opened for many months. Tk, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw who he saw.
Patamon lied on the ground, unconscious at the feet of a large metallic looking dog. "Metal Garurumon!" Kari said shocked. She clasped onto Tk more tightly and Tk's grip faltered slightly unable to take everything in.
"So. The Tk bandit is real. I can't believe your alive. I can't believe I have to be the one to kill you Takeru Takaishi!" the voice shouted at the boy. The voice belonging again to the one who Tk had trusted more than ever, more that Kari, more than his own father or his mother who he lived with. The voice that was of course Yamato Ishida's.
"Matt!" Tk cried and even though the Unity of Faith was alive in the two lovers again he didn't possibly see a way to get out of the prison with 100 bakemon and a Mega digimon who was more powerful than ever. The beloved, hand-in-hand's pink nimbus glew brightly in the hall and were ready, together, to finally face the darkness that had plagued the world for so long and to rescue someone who meant more to Takeru Takaishi that ever before in the entire universe.
"Matt! Stop this nonsense! Your crazy. It's me. Takeru. Tk. I love you and I don't want to fight you." Tk cried the pink bubble surrounding him, the Lightbringer, and their digital monsters. He was wearing still the same pair of sweats and sweatshirt yet looked a crimson red because of the magic of the unity of faith.
"Listen to him Matt! We want to save you and especially Tai!" Kari yelled at Matt. From the look of things, Matt looked like nothing was hitting him. Kari knew that Matt had been brainwashed like the others, like Tai had tried to do to her but had failed because of the crest of light was still active.
"We have to get them out of here Gatomon!" Patamon whispered to the feline creature. The cat nodded and began pulling Tk and Hikari away from Matt and Metal Garurumon but they wouldn't budge from the spot. They stood there frozen not wanting to move at all and to make everything worse, Tk was walking with Kari towards Matt.
"Taiedmon is the ruler of this world and the digital world!" Matt shouted at the reunited lovebirds. His face shown with admiration for the sadistic world leader. He petted Metal Garurumon's head and whispered before he vanished into some machine "Stop them."
Metal Garurumon grunted, his metallic fur glistening in the darkened hallway. He grunted and silvery ice spikes fired from his fore paws. "My master told me I had to stop you worthless rebels, but he didn't say how, so I should just get rid of you now!!!" and opening his mouth, a blast about to be fired from the pit of his stomach.
"NO!" Kari and Tk yelled the pink glow enveloping the deranged digimon devolving to Tsunomon, the black chip that had been on it's neck or not visible on any part of the in-training digi-monster's body. It looked up at Tk, as if finally realizing who he really was and bounced towards them.
"Tk!! Oh my! Tk!! I am so sorry for whatever I was going to do to all of you." the digimon cried jumping into Kari's arms. Kari and Tk smiled thankful that they finally had done something right in this strange new world. They hugged and kissed again but extinguished the pink glow.
"Sorry Tk. I don't. I wish Izzy was with us. He could of told us again how we were gonna do it. But I know that we'll save Kari. We have to, and Gatomon too." He said in a small but strong sounding voice. It seemed that the small winged digimon had some kind of affection with the cat in this time as well.
