Chapter 3:
One Last Battle
I don't Digimon what's so ever.
Next day at the park....
It was Davis' turn to wait as he was waiting for Kari to show up to pick up
DemiVeemon who was in his arms looking sad knowing that he will be leaving Davis. All through the day the other DigiDestined tried to get him to change his mind about leaving but he told them that his mind is made up. He also remember the look on Kari's face when he told her to meet her at the park to pick up DemiVeemon. I just to her this was to show that I was serious about quitting the DigiDestined. He heard a footsteps coming towards him. They belonged to Kari as she was coming to where Davis was.
"Thank you for coming Kari." He looked around to see if any of the others had
come with her. "Didn't the others come with you." She just shocked her head no. Not saying a word. "Oh. I just thought they might have come with you."
After a moment of uneasy silence with neither of them knowing what to say Davis decided to get down to what they where there for. "Well, Kari I like to thank you for doing this for me. I hope I not putting pressure on you in any way into doing this." "Oh no. Your not Davis. I am glad that you have so much faith in me in taking care of DemiVeemon." "Yeah. I have a feeling that you will take good care of him."
"So you are really going to go through this are you." asked Kari. "Yes, I am Kari."
"Is their anyway I can change your mind?" "Please Kari. My mind is already made up and you and the others can't change it," quickly exclaimed Davis as he was handing DemiVeemon to Kari. As he was doing this he saw that Kari was looking sad. "Kari don't worry. I will still hang around you guys. Just not when it involves the Digimon or the digital world. You guys are still going to be my friends even though I am quitting the DigiDestined?" "Oh course we are still going to be friends. It doesn't matter that you aren't going to be a DigiDestined or not. We all are going to remain friends." "Thanks Kari. I really appreciate that."
"Well, I just this is it. The others are probably waiting for you so I will be leaving
now," said Davis. He looked at Kari then to DemiVeemon, "Remember buddy this has nothing to do with you. We are still friends and don't you forget that. I also want you to do what ever Kari tells you to do. She will be taking care of you for now on."
DemiVeemon slowly lifted his head to Davis, "I know that Davis and I will do whatever
Kari tells me." Davis gave him a small smile then put his hand on his head, "Thanks
buddy. I am also counting on you to take care of Kari and Gatomon for me." "No worry Davis, I will protect both of them with everything I got."
Davis was set off to leave when Kari stopped him. "Davis I have to tell you
something." Davis stopped and looked over his shoulder, "Yes, what is it?" "Well, it is about that second letter you wrote. You know, the one that was for me and not the others." "Oh yeah, that. Did any of the others see or read it?" Kari shook her head, "They didn't see it. The only one who saw it and read it was Gatomon." "Well, I have nothing against with your own digimon seeing it or even reading it." "Did you mean what you said in the letter?" Davis hesitated. He was wondering weather to say he was, or no. "Well,...yes I did. I meant every word Kari." "Even the part when you said that you would be behind me in whatever I did, no matter what? Also that you will always care for me?" "Yes, I did and I meant it."
Before Kari could say anything else her D-terminal went off. She opened it up and saw it was an email from T. K.. It said: "Kari help. We been captured by the Digimon Emperor. Bring help as soon as possible." Knowing that she had to do something she prepared to helped the others, but realized that she couldn't do it alone. She quickly went up to Davis, "Davis the others are in trouble. I can't do this alone. I need your help." "Sorry Kari, but I won't go to the digital world. Not now. Not ever again."
Kari couldn't believe what he was saying, "So you are just going to standby while
your friends are in trouble?" Davis turned completely around to face her and said in a bit of a sorrow in his voice, "If I go I will just get myself, DemiVeemon, you or one of the others hurt. You would be better off if you went alone," he looked down as not to see Kari's reaction. Kari slowly walked up to Davis, "Davis, look at me." He did as he was told, "Yes?" He was greeted with a slap in the face by Kari which shocked him and the Digimon. "That is enough. I don't care if you don't want to be a DigiDestined anymore. Your friends need help, and you are just going to stand here and do nothing." Davis just rubbed his hand over were Kari had slapped him. Since he wasn't going to answer she continued, "Do this for them. Do it for me." Davis looked into Kari's and could see that she was pleading with him. "Please Davis."
Davis just let out a sigh and looked down at the ground, "All right. I will help.
But this is the last time. After this I am done." He looked down at DemiVeemon, "Well buddy, I guess we will be partners for one more mission." The little blue Digimon yelled in delight and jumped into Davis' arms. "Lets get going Kari. I don't think the others will last long with the Digimon Emperor." Kari nodded in agreement and the two ran off to the computer room to go to the digital world.
"Hey Davis." "Yeah Kari?" "I am sorry about slapping you in the face. I
shouldn't have done that to you." "Don't be sorry Kari. You knock some sense into me. What kind of friend would I be if I did nothing while my friends get hurt." Kari looked at Davis and gave him a warm smile. "Besides, I could never say no to that beautiful face of your Kari," replied Davis. "Davis this isn't the time for flattery, this is serious." "I know, I know. This is serious, I was just trying to loosen things up before we go. We can't go into a battle with the Digimon Emperor all tensed up." "Maybe your right, but now isn't the time to be joking. This is serious." "Your right Kari. Things are serious. Their is no time for jokes, its time to be serious. And since this is going to be my last mission as a DigiDestined I will give it all I got to save the others."

"You guys, we have to think of something," said T. K.. He arms and legs were
bounded to the wall. He could also see that Yolei, Cody and the Digimon were in the
same predominant. They all could remember how they got here in the first place.
They were in the school's computer room waiting for Kari to comeback from her
meeting with Davis. When suddenly their D3s started to sound. Knowing something
might be wrong they look at the digital world map and saw that their was an area that was in trouble. "Shouldn't we wait Kari to comeback?" questioned Cody. T. K. shook his head, "We can't wait for her. I think we can take care of this trouble without her." The others nodded and held out their D3s as they were sucked from the portal.
After they arrived at the spot where they located the trouble they saw that their
was nothing wrong. "What is going on here? Are you sure this is the right place Yolei?" "Yes, Cody. I made sure this was the place. But their isn't anything wrong here." T. K. looked around seeing if their was indeed something when he heard a weird sound. He looked at where the sound was coming from and saw a bunch of small objects coming towards them. T. K. didn't know exactly what they were but knew that they shouldn't stay around to find out. "Everyone move," he yelled to them as he was pointing to the objects heading towards them.
They tried to move out of the way but the object spread out all around them. But
instead of making an explosion, they let out some kind of powder. T. K. could tell what this stuff was for at first, but realized shortly after that it was some kind of knockout gas as he saw Yolei, Cody and the Digimon pass out. He tried his best to stay awake, but the powder was too strong as he finally hit the ground and went out.
When he finally came to he saw that they where in some kind of room and that all of them were bounded to the wall. He also noticed a table in the far end of the room. When he looked more closely he saw that all their D3s and D-terminals were on it.
No of them talked for a while, since their was nothing they could do put
wait. Yolei couldn't take the silence any longer, "What happen to us and who did this to us?" T. K. turned his head to her so she could hear him clearly, "Those objects that came at us were filled with some kind of knockout gas. And I will give only guess on who did this to us." Before anyone could say anything else they suddenly heard clapping and footsteps coming towards them. From the shadows a figure came out. Not to their surprise that it was the Digimon Emperor.
"I am impressive. You DigiDestined were able to figure it out so quickly." "What
do you want with us Digimon Emperor?" questioned T. K.. "Oh nothing really. I just
want to take away your D3s and put dark rings on your Digimon so they can become my slaves." "You can't do that." yelled Yolei. "But I will. I just have to ask you a simple questioned." he slowly walked up to T. K. , "Where are the two other DigiDestined?" "I won't tell you anything. So don't bother to ask me again." Instead of getting angry like T. K. expected, the Digimon Emperor simply smirk at him. "Very well. I have another way to get them here." He slowly walked away from them and over to the table where the D3s and D-terminals were. "I seen what this things are for. Not only are they use to keep your precious digi eggs, but they are used to contact the others. So I will simply use yours to contact the others and get them to come here." With that he open it up and sent a message to them.
When he was finished with sending the message he put T.K.'s D-terminal down he their friends. Sudden he saw something sticking out of T.K.'s pocket. He walked over to him and took out what was in it and saw that they were Davis' goggles. "What are you doing with this? Doesn't this belong to that other DigiDestined?" "I am not going to tell you anything." "Tell me or your Digimon becomes a snack for my Tryranamon." "Don't you do anything to Patamon." "I won't if you tell me what I want to know."
Since their was nothing he could do to stop him from doing what he was
threatening to do T. K. decided tell him, "They belong to me. He gave them to me." "What? Why would he give them to you?" "Because he quit the DigiDestined. He handed us his D3 and D-terminal to use. He even gave us his Digimon." Unexpected the Digimon Emperor laughed. "What so funny?" asked Cody. The Digimon Emperor stopped laughing and looked at each of them, "It is just amusing that the DigiDestined with the digi eggs of courage and friendship quitted and is now going to leave his friends at my mercy. But don't you worry, I will deal with him at a later time. I guess I have to just worry about the little DigiDestined girl."
As if calling for it an alarm went off. "It seems that we won't have to wait very
long." He walked to one of the other walls and pushed one of the bricks in. Which
caused the wall to open up and revealed a giant screen. On the screen they could see Kari and Gatomon. But to their amazement Kari wasn't alone. Right by her was Davis. The Digimon Emperor however, did seem to mined, "It looks as if your friend has comeback to save you. Too bad it that he will be the one who will need the saving."

"This is the place, but where are the others Kari?" They had come to the place
where the signal came from. From what he could see he saw a small forest and a nearby river. "I don't know Davis. Maybe they were able to get away from whatever got them." For some strange reason Davis felt that their was something wrong but he couldn't tell what. "Kari, is it just me or does it seem that something isn't right here?" "Your right Suddenly the ground started to shake and out in the distance they could see a group of Mammothmon come at them. They also could see that they had dark rings on their legs. "Well, I just by what they have on their legs that the Digimon Emperor has to do something with this. As well as with are friends being missing." "Well, Kari it seems that the Emperor wants to join are friends are at." Davis slowly stepped in front of the other, "I don't know about you Kari but as
since this is my last time being a DigiDestined I am going to fight with everything I have in me."
Davis stood silent as he watch the Mammothmon coming towards them when he
was startled by a hand on top of his shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and saw that it was Kari. "You are right Davis. We have to fight with everything we got to save are friends. Also we still have to give you a farewell party." Davis couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Thanks Kari, I will do everything I can to free are friends." He looked to the other side of him to his Digimon, "You ready for one last battle with me buddy?" "I am ready Davis. I will do my best to make you proud of me." "You don't need to do that buddy. I have always been proud of you and always will be. Lets just do are best to free our friends."
Seemingly for the last time he looked at his D3, "I am going to miss saying this."
He held his D3 to his partner, "Lets do this one last time. Lets show those overgrown hairy Mammothmon what an armor Digimon can do." Davis D3 started to glow.
"Veemon armor Digimon to...Raidermon: the storm of friendship." Davis quickly
climbed on the back of his partner and looked at Kari. "Well, aren't you going to come and joined the party?" "Yeah. I am not going to let you do all the work. You ready Gatomon?" The feline Digimon nodded. "Then lets get going." Just like Davis' her D3 started to glow.
"Gatomon armor Digimon to...Nefertimon: the angel of light," and following Davis' lead she climbed on her Digimon back and headed off to the fight.
Both DigiDestined and Digimon fought bravely against the controlled Digimon.
However, as everything was going their way one of the Mammoth shot a blast towards Raidermon and Davis. With no time to react the blast knocked both of them down and caused Raidermon to revert back to Veemon. But the force of the blast caused Davis to fall into the river. Unable to fight against the river's current Davis was swiped further away and caused him to go under. Kari, Nefertimon and Veemon went after him but were caught by surprise as a small object the same as the one that was used on the other DigiDestined came towards them and sprayed out the knockout gas which caused them all to pass out.
****
The DigiDestined watched everything that was happening by the big screen. They could see that the remaining Mammothmon grabbed Kari, Gatomon and Veemon and were heading back to the Digimon Emperor's base. "Well, well, well. It seems that I only have to deal with one more DigiDestined after all," mocked the Digimon Emperor. "Ill leave you now so you can mourn the lost of your fallen alley. Until your other friend arrives. Then we will have some real fun." The Emperor laughed as he was leaving but none of the DigiDestined of Digimon even bothered to pay any attention to him. From what they saw that Davis had drowned in the river and Kari and the others were coming to join in them in their predicament.
