Digital Dragon and Robster80 present...
DIGIMON GT: Part 6
Previously: The kids, Trunks, Goten, and Pan had only 3 hours to train for the rematch against Novamon, who had taken the six original Digi-Destined, Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta hostage. Willis showed up with his twin Digimon Terriermon and Lopmon, and he agreed to help. Bulma provided the kids and the partial-Saiyans with Saiyan armor to stand against Novamon's heat. Piccolo agreed to come along to help, and they returned to the Digital World after the three hours were up. All this time, Kari's jealousy of Pan's flirting wit TK was beginning to take its toll...
Everyone was confused. They had arrived at where Novamon's temple was in the Digital World, but now only a crater remained where the temple once was. Ken grimaced. "His temple must be able to fly like my old fortress was back when I was the Digimon Emperor. We'll have to find him now."
"That should not be too hard," Piccolo said, looking towards the south where a trail of smoke was rising. "We just follow the path of destruction he made."
Veemon said, "No problem! Patamon, Gatomon, Hawkmon, and myself will just Armor-Digivole into our flying and running forms and we'll chase him down that way-."
"Better not," Kari said. "We'll need all of our strength for the fight, so we should save it and walk."
Pan took TK's arm and said, "C'mon, TK! They can walk, but we'll fly after him!" She was about to take off when Kari roughly grasped her arm and shook it until TK's arm came off. Pan glared at her. "What's your problem?"
Kari gave a death glare right back. "You can go off and get killed for all I care, but I refuse to let you get TK killed along with you!"
"Like you could protect him any better! You can't fly or fight without your little kitty. In fact, from what I've seen you're practically useless and weak-." She was cut off as Kari slapped her hard across the face. "I've had enough of you, little miss 'I-have-Saiyan-blood-so -I'm-tough!' I didn't see you lift a finger to save your father and grandfather, so shut it!"
This only infuriated Pan, and made her lunge at Kari, knocking them to the ground. TK was shocked as they rolled on the ground, screaming at and struggling with each other. "Stop it, you two!" he cried, as did several of the others, but they wouldn't stop. Veemon, Terriermon, and Lopmon were chanting, "Catfight! Catfight! Catfight!"
Finally, TK picked them up by the arms and forced them apart. He placed himself in the middle of them as the two girls tried to get at each other. Trunks and Goten rushed over and drug Pan away as TK tried to hold Kari back, who was screaming to get at her rival. Not realizing what he was doing, he slapped her, which made her stop dead in her tracks.
Kari held her reddening cheek and stared in total shock at TK. Her brown eyes locked with his blue, revealing to him her horror at what he had done to her. He then realized what he had done. "Kari," he began. "I..."
Kari felt everyone watching her. Tears building in her eyes, she quickly turned and ran off into the forest. She never heard TK softly whisper, "I didn't mean to..." Gatomon dashed after her, calling her name.
TK stared at his hand, the one he had used to slap Kari, as if it were a bloody weapon he had used to kill someone. In a sense to him, it was exactly that. "What have I done?"
Pan relaxed a little after Kari had gone off and she was released. "That witch was lucky I didn't power up! Otherwise, I'd have broken her in two."
This made TK mad. He turned to her and said, "Don't you ever talk that way about her! Ever! She was only thinking of my safety." Knowing what he had to do, he rushed off the way Kari and Gatomon had gone, Patamon following him closely. Davis was about to go after him to pound him and then go find Kari, but Ken firmly grabbed his shoulder and shook his head violently. "They have to settle their differences by themselves," he stated. "And there's been enough fighting amongst ourselves already."
Piccolo walked over to Pan and said, "You may not know it, but Kari did you a favor. If you flew, or powered up at all, Novamon may have discovered us here. We have the advantage of surprise on our side, but now that advantage may be gone because of your catfight. You also would have endangered TK just as Kari predicted. Your father would NOT be proud of you for that."
He then addressed the others. "We'll wait for TK and Kari to return. Then, we will go after Novamon. I only hope he won't notice us for a long time."
********************************************************************************
Novamon stood at the entrance to his temple, surveying the now decimated town of Little Edo, which was the home of countless Gekomon, Otamamon, Floramon, and Mushroommon as well as the great Shogun-Gekomon. He had slain them all, not letting anyone get away, without a care. He grinned at his work.
"My, my," he said as he walked back into the temple to gloat at his captives. "That was very good. They all put up quite a resistance after I mentioned I had taken their precious 'Princess Mimi,' and that Shogun-Gekomon was quite the fighter. A pity they still didn't last very long."
Mimi burst into tears at this. She blamed herself for the deaths of the Gekomon and Otamamon. They were loyal to her just as they were to their Shogun, and that had cost them their lives. Matt placed his arm around her and pulled her close, whispering soothing words to her. Joe handed him a handkerchief, which he then gave to Mimi to dry her eyes.
Goku and Gohan were enraged. Novamon, to them, was just as ruthless as Frieza had been in life. They remembered how he coldly wiped out everyone on planet Namek, even his own troops for the slightest sign of disrespect. Vegeta was also angry, remembering how his people were killed off by Frieza though they had been loyal to the tyrant for countless years.
Novamon glanced at them. "Enjoying my hospitality, gentlemen? Or is it my means of entertainment that catch your interests so?" He then burst into laughter for a moment until his eyes fell on a cauldron filed with mystic water. It showed him several people and Digimon standing where his temple once was three hours prior. This made him smile wickedly.
"Ah, the three hours are up already. My, how time flies when one is having so much fun! Well, I do hope they are ready. I know I am." Then, the entire temple began to shake a little as it began to turn around and head towards its former location. Since all the villages and inhabited areas were now cleansed, it would only be several minutes before it reached its destination.
Gohan suddenly felt four familiar energy signatures to the North. He recognized them as Pan, Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo. I hope they and the newer Digi-Destined are ready! he thought. Because there won't be any more chances from this moment on. It's either all or nothing.
********************************************************************************
Kari had finally stopped running and sat down on a log, burying her tear-stained face in her hands as she continued to cry. He hates me, she repeatedly thought as she recalled TK slapping her just a minute or two ago. The handprint was still on her left cheek, almost like a scar. He hates me, and I can't blame him! I never made enough time with him, not even in school! I never tried hard enough to avoid Davis, or spend too much time trying to help Ken with his problems. And now, I just attacked his new girlfriend! He hates me!
Kari was so absorbed in her thoughts and her hard sobs that she didn't notice Gatomon rubbing against her legs. The cat Digimon was trying to cheer her up, but it was no use. How could this have happened? Patamon and I were sure that TK and Kari really loved each other more than as friends. If only Davis and that Pan hadn't gotten in the way! Maybe then-.
"Psst!"
Gatomon turned to see Patamon hiding behind a tree, motioning her to come to him. She saw TK standing behind him, looking at Kari with hurt eyes. Figuring out what they were going to do, Gatomon slowly and quietly walked away from Kari and over to Patamon. She watched as the little orange Digimon looked at his partner and whisper, "Talk to her, TK. We'll be right behind this tree if you need us."
Gatomon then watched as TK nodded and then walked over to Kari. Good luck, TK.
********************************************************************************
TK and Patamon finally found Kari and Gatomon. Hiding quietly from behind a tree, he saw that she was sitting on a log, her hands hiding her face as she sobbed heavily. Gatomon was rubbing against her with affection.
His face fell at the sight of her crying. She must hate me now. How in the world could I strike her like that?! This is all my fault! If only I hadn't fallen in love with her! If only-! His thoughts were stopped dead as he heard Patamon try to get Gatomon's attention. After succeeding, the little Digimon motioned her to come towards them.
Once Gatomon had come over, Patamon faced TK. "Go talk to her, TK," he whispered. "We'll be right behind this tree if you need us." The teen looked at his partner and nodded, then gathered his courage, and walked over to Kari. He stopped and stood before her, unnoticed since her face was still in her hands. Tears flooded his eyes as he looked at her. "Kari..."
The girl slowly looked up to see TK standing before her, a pained look on his face. Her tears had slowed down, but his were now running as they stared at each other. "I'm so sorry," she heard him say in a low voice. "There's no excuse for what I did to you back there. But, I want you to know that I'm very and truly sorry for it."
TK then noticed a large stick near his foot. He picked it up and gave it to Kari. "Here. Hit me with this and that will even the score. I won't move, nor will I care where you hit me."
Kari slowly took the stick into her hand. It wasn't heavy, but it looked string enough to maybe hurt someone. She looked back at TK, who nodded as he bit his lip. He was serious. She looked back at the stick, then back at him. Suddenly, she dropped the stick and grabbed him into a fierce hug, now sobbing on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, TK!" she said between sobs.
TK gladly returned the hug, wrapping his arms around her. He wondered if he should now tell her how he felt, like Patamon told him to from the beginning. No, now is not the time! We have to get back to the others and then go fight Novamon. But, not just yet.
They remained like this for another minute before TK lifted Kari's chin to look her in the face. He said, "I think we should go back. Tai and the others still need our help. And don't worry about Pan. Like it or not, we all have to work together on this."
Kari nodded slowly before she hugged him one last time. "Please be careful, Takeru," she whispered. "I care for you too much to lose you now."
This time TK nodded. Maybe there is a chance for us after all, they both thought. Suddenly, they looked up to see something very large floating towards them. Patamon and Gatomon saw it, too, and came out from behind the tree. "He knows we're back!" Gatomon cried.
Kari paled. "This is my fault! If I hadn't fought with-."
"You didn't know," TK said quickly as he led her and their Digimon back to the others quickly. "This only sped things up, so don't blame yourself!"
********************************************************************************
Davis stood up, frustrated. "They've been gone for too long! I'm going after her."
Trunks forced him to sit back down. "We wait! You're not the only one who's worried about those two, you know."
"Forget TB! I'm more worried about Kari."
Piccolo fumed at Davis's words. Love... I'm glad my people don't have any need of it. At least, not the kind of love humans share. Suddenly, he felt a power similar to Frieza's heading towards them from the south.
TK, Kari, and their Digimon appeared from the forest, looking very pale. Goten looked over at them. "Glad you two came back! Novamon's heading this way."
TK shook his head violently. "He's already here! We just saw the temple coming our way."
"EVERYONE, GET READY!" Piccolo shouted. "And leave all personal feelings aside! There must be no room for error this time."
Just then, the temple came into view, with Novamon standing just outside the entrance. "Now, Digi-Destined," he exclaimed. "Let the real fight begin!"
