This is the long awaited second chapter on my new series. In this chapter more about the past of the Digidestined will be revealed. The gateway technology stolen by the Digital Aftermath will make an appearance. And taking hostages could never be so much fun. As always I don't own Digimon or any of the characters. Enjoy!
One World Isn't Enough
It Was A Steal
What? Are you endorsing this Kari?
I'm sorry, Sora. But by disobeying my orders so many times, Kari paused for a moment, you brought this upon yourself.
You'll have to get yourself out of this one, without our help, TK walked to one of the guards, gave him orders, and then took Sora away.
Kari looked to the ground, I'm so very sorry. She then walked to TK, looks like your spanking has to wait...
TK blushed again,
**********************************************
Release me! Sora's orders could be heard from the other side of the steel door without a problem.
Another crash was heard, caused by Sora most likely. She needs help and fast!
I agree, Yolie, but shouldn't we take the guard out of that room? TK tried his best to remind everyone.
I forgot all about him! Yolie ran to the door, opened it, and was pushed back by a cut and bruised guard running for his life.
Kari stepped forward, I guess it's my turn... Kari started her way into the room, but was stopped by TK.
I know you don't want to do this, but be careful when you go near her! TK closed the door behind Kari.
I hope this goes well for our sake...
Kari scanned the room, seeing Sora sitting on a chair in one of the darker corners. She turned her head to look at Kari with all her fury.
You here to teach me a lesson, or to take my powers of evasion?
Take your powers, but my powers grew while you were gone. I'll take what I want, Kari approached Sora with open arms.
Will it hurt? Sora questioned Kari.
Outside the room, TK was pacing.
TK, will you calm down?
Why would I calm down, I've known Sora since I was... TK paused for a moment, holding his side. TK then collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain. Medics rushed over, but were shoved away by TK.
Sora, will you calm down? Kari thought she heard a scream.
All right, go ahead.
Kari closed her eyes and a pink light surrounded her body. She chanted a inaudible phrase over and over. Sora's arm started to shake, but she stopped it with her other arm. Kari, too, also seemed to be in pain. Then it was too much for both of them. They started to bleed from their eyes, ears, noses, and about every other pore in their body.
Sora started to scream first, followed by Kari. The blood was all over their faces. Through all the pain, Sora spoke first. Why continue this, Kari?
I have to...
On the other side of the door, much of the same problem was being faced.
Hold him down! Yolie ordered a few available soldiers. But they were only thrown off like the Medics.
Then he stopped, TK was now completely motionless. No one was sure what to do. His eyes flashed open, putting everyone into shock, for they were now just white. No pupils there to be seen.
He then made his way off the floor, haven't you ever seen someone's power grow?
TK opened the door, then walked in with a cool matter. He saw Sora and Kari bleeding, which snapped him out of his trance-like state.
Sora, why do you resist? Kari screamed out.
You know me, I always resist.
TK rushed over to Kari, his eyes now normal. He shook her to the point that she had to release Sora from her powers. Both girls collapsed to the ground. Only Kari was caught, Sora was left to hit the metal table with her head.
TK, why? Why did you interfere?
Kari, I love you. But didn't you notice that both of you were bleeding?
Kari looked at TK to see if he was kidding. His face never faulting. She lifted her hand, with great difficulty, to her face. The hand was covered with blood, too much for any safety reason.
Not good. TK, can you carry me? Kari now looked a little faint
Of course....
The two lovers began walking out of the room. Several feet away, Sora was now coming through. She realized what was happening as she slowly made her way up. TK and Kari were almost out when she yelled, Hey, bitch! The two jumped when they heard Sora's voice. She forced her hand into a secret pocket within her combat suit, revealing a dagger. With great speed, that of which a human shouldn't have, the dagger was flying through the air to TK.
TK threw his hand up, his eyes pure white again. A small flash of light filled the room, leaving a barrier roughly TK's height. It was odd, the barrier was a mixture of blues, whites, and purples. But the question was, would it hold? The dagger hit the barrier, then was reflected to a nearby wall. Sora watched in horror at what she had done and how TK remained safe. Kari then started to whimper as more blood poured out. TK blinked with a hint of confusion in his eyes, his eyes returning to normal.
He lifted Kari off the ground, carrying her out. Sora, bleeding as well, started to wobble, then fell to the ground. TK signaled the medics, the ones trying to help him earlier, to help Sora. Everyone seemed to be in shock, judging by the lack of sound. They all filtered their way out of the area.
**********************************************
Izzy made his way into the infirmary. Times like this, I wish Joe was still around. You really hurt yourself this time, Kari!
Several feet away, Kari was pushing away the medics, much like TK had. I'm fine, will you stop touching me?
According to the report, and I quote, many blood vessels in the ears, nose, and lungs were ruptured.' What happened in there?
Don't know, it was like something was stopping me from taking Sora's powers. But I pushed on, hurting both of us, Kari was ready to cry, but didn't. I may have pushed her away this time, Izzy!
Stop hyperventilating, your lungs don't need more problems as it is.
Okay, okay... Why did you come? Will you stop touching me! Kari shoved another medic off.
One, to see how you were doing. Two, to tell about the data we acquired from the strike.
Do tell....
Well, the data Yolie stole was very useful. It's all on our gateway technology that was stolen a couple days ago. Years of more research has been saved! Then there's Sora's data, Izzy placed the data crystal into reader. It's about black projects, Tai, and some on Matt.
Izzy handed the reader to Kari. She scrolled over the data, never changing the emotions expressed on her face. Near the bottom of the data was some interesting information. What's NDD?
Don't know, for some reason data on it wasn't in black project information. This one goes right to the top in the chain of command.
This worries me, they could be doing anything!
Izzy nodded in agreement, Speaking of being worried, how's Sora?
She was knocked out pretty well. TK went to check on her.
I heard my name!
Welcome back, stud, the two exchanged a loving kiss.
Izzy just rolled his eyes away from the action. How is she?
She woke up a few minutes ago. The strange thing is, she doesn't remember a thing!
You're right, it is strange. Maybe hitting her head and passing out did something? Izzy started to walk out of the room. I'm going to see this for myself, talk to you later.
See ya, Izzy. Well, Kari, do you think that you did something wrong?
Kari glared at TK, I've done this so many times, I truely doubt it.
Hey, don't get defensive on me! TK lowered his voice so only Kari could hear. But you could be on me....
Kari smiled and giggled slightly. Lets go!
The two ran out of the room without a care in the world, on the surface at least. One of the medics walked into the empty room with bandages. Hey! You need more Bandaids!
Kari came running back into the room with TK closely behind. I'll take two, but I already feel like a mummy... Kari voice slowly disappeared as she ran back out.
****************************************************
The room was a cold gray. Its main features were several chairs and one large table. Quite similar to the Holy Alliance briefing room. At the head of the table sat four people. One of them, the leader, had long, brown hair which hung to his shoulders. Another had shorter, blond hair. He was second in command. The third person had short, bluish hair. He bore the insignia of the chief medical officer. The last, he bore no insignia or command markings, seemingly unknown. The leader spoke first, Well? What happened out there?
Please, Master Kamiya, give us more time and resources! Maybe then we can find out what they took!
I've given you two hours! You're amazingly slow for someone with this kind of power, Master Kamiya started to loose his temper. That's it! Guards, bring him to the Chamber!
No, no! You can't kill me! You need me!
Master Kamiya started to laugh uncontrollably. He then abruptly stopped. We don't need you! We never did! We have a Digimon to replace you, what's his name again, a yes, Searchmon. Much better than you are. Take him away!
The guards were signaled once again to take him away. He kicked and screamed, none of the surrounding people seemed to care. The man was dragged into the hallway, one of the guards was kicked away, allowing the man to run in the opposite direction. The remaining people in the briefing room watched the whole scene. A fire-like ball of energy shot forward to the escaping man. He screamed and fell to the ground, blood
pooling around him.
What a waste of good material. What do you think, Tai? The blond repositioned his chair away from the blood.
Well, Matt, I might have agreed if he wasn't so slow! A smirk spread across Tai's face.
Do you think it will effect the project?
What, NDD? Hopefully not....
Matt turned his gaze to another person. Joe, why don't you go back to the research base?
I wanted to see the excitement, but now that it's over. Okay, be back in five hours. Joe held up his D-3 to a computer, opening a gateway most likely going to the research base.
Maybe we should bring her in now.
I agree, Matt. It will be nice to see her again. Tai rose from his seat and walked out the door, after he looked down at the expanding pool of blood. I guess it was a waste, too bad....
************************************************
A large gray control room was filled with people, including Matt and Tai. The room's wall were covered with multi-colored lights, all with a different purpose. A power graph in front of Tai started to flash red, signifying it was ready. In the front of the room was a platform, several soldiers, and a circle-shaped gateway.
It's time....
Soft, barely audible speech spread across the room as many switches were placed to their ready position. The gateway had a visible surge of blue-colored energy travel its way through all circuits.
Have a gammatic shock go through the gateway as she is coming through.
Why, Master Kamiya?
He laughed to himself. To knock her out, of course!
As you command.
The gateway flashed a incredibly hot, blinding light, leaving some of the metal to smoke. A smile slowly etched its way across Tai's face. And now it begins....
*************************************************
TK, you don't perform well in tennis! Just like in bed! Kari jumped from one side of the court to the other, easily matching TK's every move.
TK lowered his voice so only Kari could hear him. It only happened once, you don't need to rub it in! TK was almost pleading with Kari for silence. I was under a lot of stress!
Okay,TK, I'll be quiet for... Kari stopped when she heard an explosion behind her. Before she could react, a gateway appeared, swallowing her whole. The portal then broke down into blue data bits.
TK, running forward, was too shocked for words. He ran to an intercom that would address the whole base. Base-wide alert! The gateway technology has made an appearance, Kari is missing! He released the intercom and ran into the panic-stricken crowd forming outside. All hopes for peace were gone....
********************************************
The gateway, on the other side, was pulsating a white light. A huge surge went through the system, frying half the mother board. But a female figure was now upon the platform, it was Kari. Soldiers rushed to her, shackled her, injected her with a strange fluid, and carried her away.
Tai turned to Matt. I never thought taking hostages could be so much fun! He to the Kari-carrying convoy, on the verge of laughing and skipping. With Kari in their possession, the war had changed greatly. If the Holy Alliance made one wrong move, she would be dead. They carried Kari into a room filled with scientific equipment. She was hooked up to
several machines.
Run the whole spectral analysis. Let us see what she can do....
Various graphs expressed various ups and downs. Counters went up, and stayed up. Tai was amazed by the information being gathered. Information that could win them the war if they had to use it.
All right, pick her up and take her to cell zero. Post guards at all points of exit. We can't lose now!
She was unstrapped from the chair and carried away. The graphs that were recorded proved of Kari's present abilities and future possibilities. It connected closely to a test Tai had done years earlier. For now, that would remain a secret.
*************************************************
We have Kari's location pinpointed to a isolated valley in sector seven by one by three. All our forces are going to this location for the rescue. Any questions?
A lower ranking officer stood up. How did you pinpoint her location?
There is a tracking device in her lower spine. We all have it, Izzy here developed it. It's really quite simple.
The Main Hall was filled with all walks of life. All of the human forces were dressed in the standard green camouflage. Chaos was spreading across the whole Alliance, no one could control the people. TK shook his head in shame before holding up his D-3. The other Digidestined formed a circle, D-3s facing in. A white light formed at the screen of the digivices. The light merged together, shining so bright that it stopped all chaos. The partner Digimon surged with energy. This surge could only be solved in one way, digivolve....
Patamon warp-digivolve to... Seraphymon.
Biyomon warp-digivolve to... Phoenixmon.
Tentomon warp-digivolve to... HerculesKabuterimon.
Palmon warp-digivolve to... Rosemon.
Hawkmon digivolve to... Aquilamon.
Many of the the Digimon were surrounded by an intense white light. The soldiers stood in awe, as if this was a message from Azulongmon. TK attached his D-3 belt. He then made his way over to Gatomon, Without Kari, you can't digivolve. So you have to fight at the Champion. Too bad, we could Magnadramon. Maybe later.
Gatomon just waved off his words. Izzy was picked up by his Digimon. He lifted his right hand up towards the roof. During the final fight with Apocalymon, Izzy was integrated with various technologies. Most of the technology was removed within the year, except in his hand, brain, and anything connecting in between. Now his body was capable of during amazing things such as absorbing information much faster than any other human, or opening various doors. The roof creaked open slowly, then faster. Blue sky was visible, clouds scattered here and there.
All found their way to different Digimon, transport, or anything else. With a few great flaps of Seraphymon's wings, he was off into the sky with TK in arms. The giant, brown beetle jumped from the ground, also with wings flapping, into the sky. The other Digimon with humans perched upon their backs. Soon the Main Hall was empty. Defenses wouldn't be needed during this, no one knows of the base, and most Aftermath forces would be in the valley. Now the skies were blackened by the wings of many Digimon, then they were gone, flying towards the valley. All seemed to be at peace.
And so the rescue begins....
*************************************************
You are going to cell zero and gather information from our guest, use force in needed.
Tai spoke to a unmarked general, the same one that was in the briefing room earlier. As you command, Master Kamiya, the general was about to leave when Tai spoke.
But before you do that, go to lab one and check on the Artificials. They need to be ready for the project!
Yes, Master, he said in a cool manner. The general walked out of the dark room.
Matt walked out of the shadows. He's a good soldier, when should we unite him with his Digimon? With the D-3 in his possession, he thinks he should have a Digimon just like we do!
I agree, Matt, he does think that. But it can wait. Maybe another month or two.
Matt returned to the shadows from which he came. Tai stared into the darkness until he was sure of Matt being gone. I like his powers of evasion, I should take them, add to my own. I'll have to make time for that after this whole Kari thing is over with. He left his desk and walked over to nearby computer with his D-3 out. Lets see how mom's doing. Digiport open! He was then sucked into the real world.
Joe swung the door open to meet Tai, only to find the room empty. He walked over to the desk and a note, it read:
Goin' to the real world, be back soon.
Tai
I should keep a closer eye on him.... With him gone, I can do what I want. This will be fun!
He walked out of the room into the barely lit hallway. The walls were alive, much like the research base. But these were different, more advanced. Soon Joe arrived at the monitor station that keeps an eye on all people within the cells. The walls were covered with screen after screen all showing one person, Kari. Joe smiled when he saw her. How is our little guest?
She woke up about an hour ago, but now she's wide awake, stated the security guard.
Good. I'm going to talk to her, and turn all monitors off.
Yes, Sir.
Joe started to walk to the door, but was stopped by the unknown general. No you're not. I have direct orders from Master Kamiya himself to talk to her. Those who are not me can't go in!
Joe started to grind his teeth together because of Tai's, seemingly careless, action. Go right ahead. But I'll be waiting for you when you get out again!
See ya then, Joe... the general left the area for the cell.
He gets on my nerves!
Yes, Sir. What ever you say, Sir.
The general walked down the hall to the cell, his hair moving side to side as he moved. This would be a unique meeting for both of them.
***************************************************
The room was bathed in an eerie purple light. Several feet in front of Kari was what appeared to be a door. But as she focused on it, it shot
open. Bright light flooded the room. Among the light was a male figure.
The purple light faded out and was replaced with normal, white lights. Now the figure was visible. He had spiked hair, adorned with every color. A scar across his left eye proved he was in many battles.
Who... Who are you?
Another chapter, another cliffhanger! This was a little larger than the last one, but not by much. A strange general is in the Digital Aftermath, who is he? That will be answered in the next chapter, and it's someone you might know! The next chapter won't be up for at least another two week most likely. Right now for me there's Washington DC class trip, high school orientation meeting, ect, ect! Well enough of my problems back to story. As usual, write reviews, the bad ones will be fed my fish, good ones will be smiled upon. Here's a preview of the next chapter:
The base was being ripped to pieces from the attacks. The Holy Alliance was winning this fight, for once. Few were getting hurt on the battlefield, except Aftermath forces. Without any warning, various defensive and offensive weapons came online. They fired without mercy, devastating the Alliance army.
Until next time everyone...
