Digital Rebellion Chapter 17
Love, Family and the burning village

It has been two weeks since the digidestened freed the last of their people, but for some reason none of them has wanted to move out of the base. They had started the rebellion to free their people from Dieconesmon and now that mission was over, but something was still troubling our heroes. Ken for one was still up set about his brother and surprised that he was still alive at all. Kari as always was concerned about Davis because of this she began to find her self drifting away from T.K. Davis and Tai had realized that they would have to kill Brian and Justin if they were to ever free them from Dieconesmon's hold.
********************************************************
The digidestened were at their base enjoying the calm peaceful day, all of them except for Davis and Kari. Kari was in her room staring across the quiet peaceful forest, and as she did her mind began to fill with thoughts about a cretin boy who's she may care for more then anyone else she knows...
'The forest is so peaceful and yet he doesn't even see how peaceful it is. He's always in his window looking at it, but does he really know how quiet and calm it really is? Does he even know how much the people love the forest and their village like the rest of us do? Does he even know about love? Does he even love me like T.K does,' thought Kari sadly. She lied her done in widow and her eye's slowly began to fill with tears, 'Oh Davis I don't what to do anymore. How am I suppose to help you remember me, remember all the good times we've had with our friends, remember love, friendship, remember how to care, how to smile. How am I suppose help you to remember feelings. Is what the others say true, that you don't care about anyone, not even yourself?' Kari placed her head into her arms, 'Should I just give up and stop caring about you,' she began to cry in her arms, 'Should I just let you continue to close your heart towards us and the rest of your friends,' she raised her head up and looked to the left. Davis's room was one room away from hers. She looked at him as he sat in his window with his eyes closed and his flute to his lips, 'Look at you. All you ever do is play your flute, now that we've free the remaining people from Dieconesmon. Morning, noon and even night you play until you get tried. Then you go to sleep and here I sit watching you day after day even on my walks with T.K I worry about you. I've even told T.K about what's been happening to you. I even mention giving up, but T.K refuses to let me do that. He tells me to keep trying to reach you for some reason. I wish I knew why though,' She turned her head away from Davis and placed them back into her arms. She cried softly then raised her head again looked at Davis's window, 'Where'd he go?' Davis was no longer in his window. Kari looked at the ground to see if he fallen, but he was not there either. Then she suddenly felt a warm feeling come over her as she felt someone touching her shoulder, 'Who's there,'
"Why are you crying?"
"Huh, Davis is that you?" replied Kari recognizing his voice.
Davis had come into Kari's room and had closed the door behind him...
"Why are crying, Kari?" asked Davis concurringly.
"Davis are you worried about me?" asked Kari with a sad smile on her face.
"What do you mean worried about you, I just didn't like seeing you upset that's all," replied Davis calmly with a sad look on his face.
Kari was in a chair that was near her window and Davis was behind her touching her shoulder...
"Davis your concerned about me," said Kari happily with a sad smile on her face.
"What do you mean concerned about you?" replied Davis confused a little.
"Oh Davis," cried Kari getting up out her chair and hugging him, "It doesn't matter if you know what it means are not what's important is that your showing concern," she looked at him with wet eyes then hugged him again.
Davis pulled her away and looked at her...
'She seems to be happy, but she's crying as while. I don't understand is she happy or is she sad?' thought Davis, "Kari your still crying, but your smiling as if you were happy. How can that be? Are you happy or sad?"
"I'm crying because I'm so happy you're finally starting to remember. I know it will take some time, but I know I will get you to remember what feelings are. Love, friendship, caring I know I'll get you to remember these feelings," replied Kari.
"Why are you doing that?" asked Davis.
"Because I made you a promise Davis. I promised you that I'd never hate you and that I'd help you remember what you've forgotten and I will never give up trying to live out that promise. I want stop until you know what feeling are again," explained Kari. She looked at him then laid her head on his chest. Davis didn't know why he did, but he put his arms around and held her...
'Why am I doing this? Why is she being so nice to me' thought Davis.
"Davis," said Kari softly.
"Yes," replied Davis.
"Do you love me?" asked Kari.
"What do you mean I still don't understand," replied Davis.
"Don't worry Davis you will someday," replied Kari. She continued hugging him, 'Someday I'll see you smile again,'
Meanwhile out in the greenhouse Catherine was in the green house planting some flower seeds. The greenhouse had seven rows of flowers that grew rather quickly because of Palmon helping out every now and then.
"Hey can I help?"
Catherine turned around at the sound of the person's voice.
"Joe, of course you can," replied Catherine.
Joe sat down next to her. Catherine was near an empty planter planting some seeds...
"So how have you been feeling about what happened to our families?" asked Joe?
"I'm still little upset that my mother and father want be able to see us..." said Catherine sadly then stopping her sentence
"I know how you feel," replied Joe.
"In just a few months we'll be planning the biggest thing of lives and yet I wonder if it's alright to be keeping it from our friends,"
"Are you ready to tell them yet?" asked Joe
"I...I don't know," replied Catherine confused, "I think that maybe we should..."
"CATHERINE!"
"Cheemon what is it's," replied Catherine turning around.
Cheemon ran into the greenhouse and stopped in front of Joe and Catherine.
"Catherine, Tai wants everyone suited up and in the control immediately," said Cheemon.
"Why Cheemon is something wrong?" asked Joe.
"You'll find out when you get there come on," said Cheemon then she ran out of the greenhouse
Joe and Catherine followed her out of the green house and into the base. The two of then ran up to their rooms and changed into their uniforms then went down stairs into the control room.
"Hay Tai what's the emergency?" asked Joe
"We have one more mission to take care of," replied Tai.
"What is it?" asked Catherine.
"Tell'em Shires," ordered Tai.
"It appears that the information I was given about your families being dead was false data. Some of your families are still alive," said Shires.
"Who's families are they?" asked Mimi.
"The families of Tai, Sora, Matt, Joe, Mimi, Davis, Yolei and Cody the rest I am afraid were killed during the take over. I am sorry," replied Shires.
"So my parents are..." said Catherine sadly.
"Are you ok Catherine?" asked Joe.
"Yes Joe I'm fine," replied Catherine.
"Is anything wrong Victor?" asked Yolei.
"No Yolei I'm fine," replied Victor with a sad smile on his face.
"Hay Mike, Hersh are you to ok?" asked Matt.
"Don't worry about us Matt will be fine?" replied Michael.
"Yeah now what do you say we get your families out of the real world and into Kaloga," suggested Hersheya.
"Ok Let's go their located in a city called Spiteria.
They opened a portal and went through. When they got to the other side they hide on top of a building. The city they were in was gray and empty there wasn't a living soul for miles in the whole city. It was quiet as if time had stopped moving. The digidestened climbed down a ladder on the side of gray and empty building. They walked down the dark silent street...
"This place reminds of that dark forest we were in a long time ago," said Wormmon.
"It reminds me of that dark ocean," said Ken.
"Try not to think about and keep you mind focused on the task at hand," ordered Davis
"Izzy where'd Shires say are parents where again?" asked Tai.
"She said they're in building with the numbers five, six two on it," replied Izzy.
"Is that it over there?" asked Veemon pointing to the left.
There was black dark building next to them with gray numbers on it...
"Yeah that's it," said Izzy nervously.
"So who goes in?" asked Komodomon.
Tai and Davis were silent then they backed up away from the others and stood very still. Their digimon did the same. The four of them looked left and right again and again until suddenly the four of them jumped in the air and as four small balls of dark light passed under them...
"So Brian what's with the surprise attack?" asked Tai.
"Hay Justin surprise attacks aren't like you at all," said Davis.
Then suddenly Brian and Justin appeared with their digimon Darkagumon and Darkveemon.
"You always do seem to know when we're about to attack you don't you Kamiya," said Brian.
"That's way we decided too just sneak up on you when ever we get a chance," said Justin.
"The time has come for us too end this little rivalry of ours, Agumon," said Darkagumon.
"Only one of us is leaving this city alive Veemon," said Darkveemon.
The two boys pulled out their swords and stared at their rivals.
"Its time too end this, Kamiya, ether I kill you or you kill me," said Brian.
"The same goes for you and me Motomiya," said Justin.
"We have are ways of winning the fight with out having to kill you, and we'll do it," said Tai.
"We'd rather fight an endless rivalry then end it by death," said Davis.
"We'll just see about that Kamiya," replied Brian.
"Motomiya," replied Justin.
"Say good bye to Palmon and your other friends Agumon," said Darkagumon with a smile.
"It's time to finish what we started, Veemon," said Darkveemon.
"Ok then how about we start father down the street," suggested Agumon.
"Fine with me," agreed Darkagumon. Then he and Agumon ran down the street until they were out of sight.
"And how about we go the other way," suggested Veemon staring at Darkveemon.
"Ok let's go," agreed Darkveemon. Then he and Veemon went the opposite way of Agumon and Darkagumon.
Tai and Davis called their Jet Boards; they got on them and then went up on to two different buildings. Brian and Justin followed their rivals. The rivals stared at each other as the rest of the digidestened watched from below...
"Matt I want you and the others to get our families out of here, now," ordered Tai.
"Ken you stay right were you are," ordered Davis, "The rest of you go in side and get our families out,"
The digidestened looked at their friends then ran into the building except for Ken he stayed outside like he was ordered to do. He knew that he would have to fight someone he didn't really want to fight very soon. Then suddenly he saw two large explosions coming from both ends of the street. He knew then that Agumon and Darkagumon along with Veemon and Darkveemon had started fighting. Then he saw Tai and Brian beginning to fight and then Davis and Justin. He stood there watching and waiting until...
"Hay Ken so what are you doing out here all alone?"
"Sam," said Ken turning around.
"So you remember me, do you remember what I said about not having brother?" asked Sam.
"Yes, but didn't believe you really meant it," replied Ken sadly.
"Oh is that so? Then I guess I'll have to prove to you that I did mean what I said," replied Sam cruelly. He raised his lance in the air and attacked Ken. Ken dodged his blow and called his Jet board, he jumped on it and flew off. Sam called his own and jumped on, and chased after Ken.
"Sam I told you I didn't want to fight you," said Ken.
"To bad," yelled Sam speeding up.
'I have to get through to him, but how,' thought Ken. He continued to fly on his Jet Board trying to keep away from Sam, 'I guess the only way I can is to fight and win, then try to talk to him afterwards,' Ken turned his Jet Board around and then flew straight towards Sam with his lance in his hand.
Meanwhile the other digidestened were inside the building trying their best not be seen by the Darkmon in side. They had spite up into two groups to explore the building and find their families...
"Just great, mate, your parents are in one of the most guarded buildings yet," said Jason.
"This isn't going to be easdy, but since we already checked out this floor we should move on to the next," suggested Hersheya.
"Where do you think are families could be Matt?" asked Mimi.
"Probably somewhere blow the building," suggested Matt, "we should be careful about where we go,"
"Cost is clear let's go," said Michael they walked slowly down the dark gray hallway trying there best not to get caught.
"I wonder how long we'll be able to snack around like this?" asked Betamon.
"Who knows just keep your mouth shut until we can get out of here," said Gabumon.
They walked down the hallway until they came to some stairs. They walked down the stairs and...
"Hay you your who are you!"
There was Darkmon standing behind them at the top of the stairs holding a gun
"Uh Oh mates we've been found out," said Dingomon.
"Not yet we haven't," said Michael throwing his Trident. Michael throw his weapon at the Darkmon and killed him he then went up the stairs and picked it back up along with something extra...
"Hay Michael what'ya got there?" asked Victor.
"It's a key card we can use it to gain access to some of the rooms here in this building," replied Michael. He put the key card in his pocket and they went down the stairs into another hallway. They walked down the hallway until they came to a corner. They looked around the corner and saw about six Darkmon. Two were standing in front of a door, two more at the other end of the hallway and the last two were two feet away from were they were...
"Get down!" said Matt quietly pulling Jason (who was looking around the corner back.
"I think saw Eric peeking out from the other end of the hall," said Jason.
"There's one way to find out," said Victor. He took his D, Tri from his side and pushed a button on the side of it, "Hay Yolei you there?"
"I here Victor," replied Yolei, "Was that you guys on the other side?"
"Yes it was," replied Victor.
Michael took his D, Tri and, "Hey Joe are you there?"
"I'm here too Michael," replied Joe, "I think I have an idea that just might work,"
"Oh yeah," replied Michael curiously.
"Out Tridents send electrical waves energy right. Well this seems to be made of metal so I was think that maybe we could..."
"Send a electrical wave through the floor," replied Michael.
"Right, but there's a pretty good chance that we might shock our salves as ell but right now we don't have much choice," explained Joe.
"Ok I'm ready when you are," said Michael.
"I'll let you know when," said Joe. He took his Trident and placed the end of it near the floor. Michael did the same. Then suddenly the ends of their Tridents began to glow, then two small waves of energy began move across the floor towards each other. The Darkmon didn't
t notice them yet, but when the to wave mate they created an explosion that destroy all the Darkmon. The digidestened all walked into the hallway surprised at what had just happen...
"Was it suppose to do that Joe?" asked Armadillomon.
"No it's was suppose to shock them and knock' am out, not completely destroy them," said Joe.
"Who's at least we got rid of them," said Gomamon.
They walked up to the door and knocked on it...
"Hello is anyone in there?" asked Joe.
"Joe, Joe is that?"
"Hey that sounds like my brother," said Joe silently, "Hey that you?"
"Yes it is," replied Jim.
"Is anyone else in there?" asked Wallace.
"Yes were all in here so how about getting us out?" asked Jim.
"Sure just let me get the key I found out of my pocket," said Michael reaching into his pocket, "he took the card out and sled it through the slot on the door. Afterwards the door opened...
"It's about time you guys showed up we've been in here for two weeks now," said Mr. Yamato.
"Where were you guys," asked Ms. Ms. Takaishi.
"At the base scanning data that we stole from Dieconesmon's computer," replied T.K.
"Then you guys already know about the gate," said Mr. Inoue.
"Gate, gate?" asked Patamon.
"The gate that Dieconesmon has been having every human being he had working on," said Len Yolei's Brother.
"We didn't get any information about a gate," said Izzy, "But we should discuss this out side of the building,"
"Good idea, but...where's Ken," asked Ichijouji.
"And Tai," said Ms. Kamiya.
"And Davis," said Mrs. Motomiya.
"Their out said taking care of their own problems," said Sora.
"What kind of problems, Sora," asked Mrs. Takenouchi?
"You'll see when you get out there, but for right now follow us and keep quiet," said Kualamon hanging on Eric's shoulder.
The digidestened lead their parents out of the building with no trouble at all, but when they got out side they found Brian and Justin near building across from where they were on the ground holding their shoulders that were dipping blood Tai and Davis were standing in front of them holding their swords in hands...
"It's Brian and Justin," said Hawkmon.
"Alright you tow now finish them off," yelled Len.
Tai looked at Len coldly then back at Brian.
"You and your brother lost again Brian now get out of here cut your shoulder," ordered Tai.
"You'll be sorry Kamiya just wait. You'll be sorry that you let me live," said Brian.
"Same goes for you Motomiya," said Justin then he and his brother vanished.
Tai and Davis turned around and began to walked towards their friends
"How come you let them go after they killed so many innocent people!" yelled Sue Yolei's Sister.
Tai and Davis looked at her with cold cruel looks...
"We don't humans no matter how evil they are," replied Tai and Davis.
"Where's Ken I thought you said he was out here?" asked Mrs. Ichijouji.
"Look here he comes and he carrying someone," said Wormmon looking to the left.
Ken was flying towards them on his Jet board. He leaded and sat the person he was carrying down onto the ground gently.
"Ken are you all?" asked Mr. Ichijouji.
"Yeah dad I fine," replied Ken.
"Ken what did you do to brother?" asked Voxmon.
"I knocked him out cold. He should sleep long enough for else to get him back to base," said Ken.
"What was that Ken?" asked Davis cruelly, "You want to bring Sam back to our base. What for?"
"So I can talk to him and try to get through to him," said Ken.
"Ken you brother has been fighting on Dieconesmon's side since the take over began he's already reached a point of no return," said Davis.
"How do you know that!" yelled Ken angrily.
Davis looked Ken in the eyes with a cold look then turn his head away, "That's way,"
Ken had a surprising, but confused look on his face as he stared at Davis...
"You, you were in my head," said Ken, "You can read my mind,"
"No Ken he can't read your mind, but he can talk to you that way," said Tai.
"What do you mean Tai?" asked Mrs. Motomiya.
"Davis and I were taught a special skill by Locata when we were in Hywall training. He taught how to speak to each by using are minds. That's why we always know when Brian and his brother are around. It's also how we found out about Sam still being alive," explained Tai, "To tell you the truth we knew Sam was alive ever since we first fought with Brian and Justin in Egypt a few weeks ago,"
"So why didn't you tell me?" asked Ken.
"It our place to," replied Tai, "But believe I did want, but I figure it would be best if you had found out for yourself," replied Tai, "I hope you understand,"
"Yes tai I do, but tell me what did Davis mean when he said Sam reach a point of no return?" asked Ken with a sad look.
Tai was silent, "There's no way Sam can be freed from Dieconesmon's control and still live," Tai turned his head away from Ken, "If you want Ken free then you have to..."
"I have to what?" asked Ken.
"You have to kill him," said Davis, "Just like Brian and Justin want us to do to them, but we already told them that we'd rather fight an endless rivalry then kill one of our own kind,"
Everyone was silent including the digimon they all didn't know what to say then Palmon looked around...
"Oh no where's Agumon?" asked Palmon worriedly.
"Hey that's right where are my bros?" asked Komodomon.
"Where up here,"
Every looked up and saw Agumon and Veemon on top of the building. The two digimon jumped down and looked at their human partners.
"Sorry Tai Darkagumon got away along with Darkveemon, but next they won't get away so easily," said Agumon.
"It's ok Agumon," said Tai, "Come on let's get back to base,"
"But what about my brother?" asked Ken?
"Leave him Ken," said Mr. Ichijouji.
"Dad," said Ichijouji.
"Leave him if there's no way to bring him to us alive then we should live him where he is," said Mr. Ichijouji.
"As much I hate to say it, Ken, but I think your father's right," agreed Mrs. Ichijouji.
"Ok," agreed Ken.
Tai took his D, Tri and opened a portal...
"Ok let's get going," ordered Tai.
They all walked through the portal leaving Ken's brother on the ground alone, but he will never be forgotten by his family he claims meaning nothing to him, but if they had looked back once they would of saw a tear dip down from Sam's eyes as a sign that the Sam they once knew was alive somewhere deep inside.
When they got to the other side it was dusk and they wereall standing in front of the base no one wanted to speak they all didn't know hat to say, but there was one among them who did she walked up to Matt and looked at. Mimi walked over and stood next to Matt...
"Matt does this girl look familiar to you?" asked Mimi.
"Kinda," replied Matt.
"Matt it's me Jun,"
"That's Jun no way," said T.K.
"It's impossible," said Sora.
"You can't be Jun you look almost as good as Mimi," said Matt with a shocking look on his face.
"I know, but everyone has to change sometime right?" asked Jun smiling.
"I guess...hey what's that smell?" replied Matt.
"It's smells like..." said Dingomon.
"Fire!" yelled Palmon looking down the path that led to the village, "Kaloga's on fire,"
"What! We'd better get down there and fast," ordered Tai, "Digital portal open location Kaloga village,"
A portal opened and they all ran through, but their families stayed near the base. When they got to village some of the buildings were fire. The sky look red as flames reached high into the sky. There where men trying to put out the fire with buckets of water and they're a lot of people running out of the village into the forest.
"What's going gov," asked Eric, "How'd this happen the law says that's there's to be no fire in the village unless it's for cooking with,"
"Who cares how it happen just spread out and get the people out of here. Gabumon your Ice Howl is going to be needed more then ever now so get to work," ordered Tai.
"Right," said Gabumon.
Tai looked around surprisingly when Biyomon flew up to him.
"Tai!" yelled Biyomon.
"What is it Biyomon?" asked Tai.
"I just took a look at the village and not all of it's on fire just the part where the people were living," said Biyomon.
"Are you sure?" asked Tai.
"Positive and it looks like there' something else here as well," said Biyomon.
"What?" asked Tai?
"Here they come now," said Biyomon.
Tai looked forward and saw ten shadowy figures walking towards him. Tai pulled out his sword, took it in both hands and stared at the figures...
"Who are you and why did you do this to our village!" asked Tai angrily, "Answer me and you'd better have a good reason so I want kill for you've down!"
"We are here for our queen,"
