who HATE Takari, leave NOW!
Last time, T.K. and Kari, along with Patamon and Gatomon, decided to climb up the mountain near their campsite. After an exhausting climb, they finally reached the top only to come face to face with a mysterious dark Digimon.
**************************************************************************** **
Chapter 3: ANGEL OF HOPE
"Who are you?" asked T.K. The dark Digimon who stood over them smirked. His masamune gleamed in the dim light.
"Foolish human," said the dark Digimon, "I am Genesismon, an Apocalypse Digimon! My deadly masamune can cut through any substance and magical barrier. My deadly Neo Genesis and Judgement Day attacks make me the most powerful of all Apocalypse Digimon!"
"Apocalypse Digimon?" said Gatomon, "I've heard of them. They're all a bunch of ruthless Mega Digimon bent of destroying everything."
"That is correct, Gatomon," said Genesismon, "And I already know of you Patamon. And also of you, T.K. Takaishi and Kari Kamiya."
"How do you know our names?" asked T.K.
Genesismon laughed. "We Apocalypse Digimon come from the Digital Underworld," he said, "It is a place where the lost souls and data of deceased Digimon go. From it, we obtain great power and knowledge. I learned of you two when I came across Piedmon."
"Piedmon?" asked T.K.
"But I shall not make the same mistake as he did, nor the ones that all your previous enemies made!" said Genesismon, "You shall soon see the true power of the Digital Underworld!" he stuck his right palm out at T.K. and Kari. The scenery behind him faded into total blackness and a counter appeared behind. As the numbers increased, a ball of black energy formed in Genesismon's hand. The numbers suddenly stopped and turned red when the counter reached 666.
"Look out!" shouted T.K.
"NEO GENESIS!" shouted Genesismon and fired a black energy beam from his hand. T.K. grabbed Kari and pulled her away from the blast just in the nick of time. Genesismon's Neo Genesis sailed through the air and destroyed another mountain, resulting in a nuclear explosion. T.K., Kari, and their Digimon watched in horror.
"His powers are greater than anything we've ever seen," said T.K.
"I'm scared, T.K.!" said Kari.
"So am I, Kari!" said T.K.
Genesismon laughed evilly. The wind whipped around his long white hair and his long black cloak. "So now you have seen my power," he said, "You realize you cannot win. Surrender now and I might spare you."
"Not a chance, Sephiroth!" said Gatomon.
"Where'd she get the name Sephiroth from?" asked T.K.
"My brother plays that game a lot," said Kari.
"Patamon Digivolve to...ANGEMON!"
"Angemon Digivolve to...MAGNAANGEMON!"
"Gatomon Digivolve to...ANGEWOMON!"
The two Angel Digimon launched themselves at Genesismon, who stood waiting. "MagnaAngemon, protecting T.K. and Kari is out top priority!" said Angewomon.
"Got it!" said MagnaAngemon. He ignited his sword and charged at Genesismon. "Taste the blade of the sword of justice!"
Genesismon brought up his masamune and blocked MagnaAngemon's sword. Immediately after, he quickly slashed the Angel Digimon, sending him several meters back.
"CELESTIAL ARROW!" shouted Angewomon. Genesismon swung his masamune and destroyed her attack.
"Judgement Day!" said Genesismon. He lowered his masamune so that the tip of the blade just touched the ground. He drew his arm back and then slashed forward, stirring up a gargantuan energy wave from the ground, which made a direct hit on Angewomon.
"Angewomon!" shouted Kari.
"MagnaAngemon! Help Angewomon!" shouted T.K.
"GATE OF DESTINY!" shouted MagnaAngemon, "Prepare yourself for your demise, Genesismon. For before you now is the tool of your destruction!" He swung his sword, hoping to drive Genesismon into the Gate of Destiny.
However, Genesismon was much too powerful and much to smart to fall for such an attack. He spun around with his masamune and sliced the Gate of Destiny into two even pieces, deleting the portal. "So much for your little trick!" he said. He slashed MagnaAngemon again.
"He's too strong!" said T.K., "You've got to Digivolve, MagnaAngemon!"
"You too, Angewomon!" shouted Kari.
"MagnaAngemon Digivolve to...SERAPHIMON!"
"Angewomon Digivolve to...MAGNADRAMON!"
Seraphimon and Magnadramon stood before the evil Genesismon, ready to put an end to his evil.
"Hmph! Your Mega forms are no match for me," said Genesismon, "I shall crush you with my power. NEO GENESIS!"
"SEVEN HEAVENS!" countered Seraphimon. His attack was completely wiped out by Genesismon's.
"FIRE TORNADO!" shouted Magnadramon. Genesismon slashed with his masamune an extinguished the attack.
"You can't defeat me and you all know it," said Genesismon, "Face it, you will never win!"
"We won't give up until either you die or we die!" said T.K.
"T.K.," said Kari.
"Perhaps I haven't made myself clear enough," said Genesismon, "Maybe this will change your mind." He raised his palm and aimed not at Seraphimon or Magnadramon, but rather at Kari.
"NO!" shouted T.K.
"Yes," said Genesismon, "Prepare to feel my power, pathetic human girl! NEO GENESIS!"
"T.K.!" screamed Kari.
"KARI!" shouted T.K., "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" T.K. leapt right in front of Kari and took the full force of the attack. Blood and shreds of clothing flew in every direction.
"T.K.!" shouted Kari, Seraphimon, and Magnadramon.
"The fool!" said Genesismon, "That pathetic human risked his life to save hers. Such a coward!"
T.K., badly injured, fell right into Kari's arms. His entire body was bleeding from severe cuts and other wounds that were both obvious and oblivious to Kari. "T.K., will you be okay?" asked Kari.
"Don't worry about me," said T.K., weakly, "Just...stop...Genesismon."
Genesismon aimed his palm at Kari again. "This time, there is no one to save you," he said. Kari stood up and faced Genesismon.
"If that's want you want, go right ahead," she said.
"You fool," said Genesismon, "You have just signed your own death warrant! NEO..." Kari stood her ground. All of a sudden, Seraphimon and Magnadramon began to glow. "WHAT?" said Genesismon, "What is going on here?"
"Seraphimon and Magnadramon are DNA Digivolving, " said T.K., weakly.
The light receded and in the place of both Digimon was a new Digimon part- angel, part-dragon, with twelve golden wings and a massive golden sword in his hands.
"I am the mighty Holymon," said the new Digimon in both Seraphimon's and Magnadramon's voices. He lifted his sword and swung it at Genesismon, who blocked it.
"You fools can never understand!" said Genesismon, "You cannot defeat an Apocalypse Digimon!"
"Maybe so," said Holymon, "but I will not allow you to destroy or harm anyone or anything anymore." He flew back to give himself some distance between him and Genesismon.
"NEO GENESIS!" shouted Genesismon.
"TRANSCENDED BLADE!" shouted Holymon. He swung his sword, which was now radiating with golden light, at Genesismon. His motions were so fast that nobody could see any of the movement. He soon stopped after one minute.
"Impossible," said Genesismon. His body began to break up into tiny pieces of data. In about two minutes, his entire body was deleted. Holymon quickly destroyed the Dark Altar to prevent more creatures like Genesismon from passing through. After reducing the altar to nothing but a pile of black rubble, he De-Digivolved into Patamon and Gatomon.
Kari cuddled T.K. in her arms. "T.K., he's gone now," she said, "Genesismon is gone. We defeated him." T.K. looked up at Kari. His face was now bloodier than it was before. Kari used his handkerchief to wipe away some of the blood.
"Thank...you...Kari," he said.
"We'll get you a doctor as fast as we can," Kari assured T.K.
"I'm afraid that not even the best surgeons in the world can help," said T.K.
"What do you mean?" asked Kari.
"Genesismon launched an attack that was meant to kill you. But I took the full force of the hit," said T.K.
"No," said Kari, "T.K. You don't mean?"
"Yes, I do," said T.K., "I'm dying."
"T.K., NO! Don't leave me!" pleaded Kari. Tears began to form around her eyes. "Why did you have to go and step in the way of his attack?"
"Because Kari," said T.K., "I promised your brother that I would protect you with my life. Even if it meant losing it."
"T.K.!" said Kari, "Don't go!"
"Kari," T.K. said very weakly, "I just want you to know that I've loved you since the day we first met. And if you'd grant me one last request."
"Anything, T.K.," said Kari, "Just don't go!"
"I'd like to have one last kiss," said T.K. He coughed a bit on the last word, spilling more blood onto himself.
"I'd be happy to," said Kari. She placed her lips on T.K.'s and gave the dying boy a long passionate kiss that lasted for at least five minutes.
"Thank you, Kari," said T.K. after they pulled apart, "Take care of yourself. I'll miss you very much. But I'll try to be at your side as much as I can, just as we promised each other two years ago."
"T.K.," said Kari, "Don't die!"
"Good...bye...my...beloved...Kari," said T.K., weakly and silently. He laid his head back and closed his eyes for the last time.
"T.K.? T.K.?" said Kari. She shook T.K. a bit. Then she laid a hand on his chest. Nothing. Not one heartbeat. "T.K.!!!!!" Kari broke down in tears. She couldn't believe it. T.K, her one true love, had died.
**************************************************************************** **
One week later, the Digi-Destined and their families went to the funeral home to say their final good-byes to T.K. Kari was the last one to go up. She walked up to the open casket and looked inside. She say T.K., dressed in his best suit, laying in state on the white satin lining the casket. She looked at his hands and noticed a small picture. It was of when she and T.K. first started going out together. Kari gently touched T.K.'s cheek, which was now as cold as stone. She gently kissed the dead boy's lips and returned to her place.
**********************************************
THE NEXT DAY
"Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. We bid farewell to a dear brother who has brought great joy to all of us," said the priest. All of the Digi-Destined and their families stood around T.K.'s open grave, with his casket at the bottom. It was a very sad event for everyone, even Davis, who now felt regretful for being jealous of T.K.
"Takeru Takaishi," continued the priest, "May your body and your soul forever rest in peace."
**************************************************************************** **
Everyday from that day on, Kari went to the cemetery to visit T.K.'s grave. She never got married and remained as a single woman all her life. Whenever Kari went to visit T.K.'s grave, she always brought along a large bouquet of flowers. Kari spent at least one hour each day kneeling before T.K.'s headstone. Engraved on it was an inscription with read as follows:
Here lies Takeru Takaishi.
In life, he brought great joy to all those around him.
He was well liked by others.
The hearts of those who loved him were broken beyond repair.
But before his death, he said these words,
"No matter where I am or where you are,
I will always be there to protect you,
As your Angel of Hope."
Kari would never be happy for the rest of her life.
Not far from T.K.'s grave, though, a certain pair of eyes watched Kari from behind a tree. Nobody could see him no matter where he stood. He always stood in that same stop everyday at that exact time watching Kari.
"I'll always watch over you Kari," he said, "Just as I promised you." T.K. spread out his beautiful white angel wings and flew off. A single white feather fell into Kari's hands as she kneeled in front of T.K's headstone. She looked up to see where the feather had fallen from, but she already knew.
"T.K.," she whispered. A tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the feather.
