Chapter 4:
Where In The World Am I?



I don't own Digimon what's so ever.

Davis slowly opened his eyes and by what he seeing he wasn't in the digital world any longer. To his honor he was looking at what looked like his hometown only that it was in completely destroyed. He looked at his D3 and hoping to find the others DigiDestined's signals but couldn't find any of them.

Since it may not be safe to stay in the open he slowly walked into the street of his destroyed hometown hoping to find the others. As he walked through the deserted streets he saw that most of the building were destroyed or halfway their. He saw that their wasn't that many people and the ones he saw stayed away and looked at him like he was some kind of threat.

After basically going through his entire neighborhood he still
didn't find any of his friends. When he turned the corner to enter another block he spotted something that worried him. "A control spire. How can their be one here? Aren't I real world?" As he tried to figure what was going on the sound of
giant footsteps that were coming towards him snapped him out of it. He looked and saw two Tryranamon coming right him also that they had dark rings on them.

Knowing that he couldn't stand a chance against the two giant Digimon without out some help he could do only one things, and that was run. Even though he was running his fastest the Tryranamon were catching up to him. Davis believed that if he got to a secluded area he could hide. Unfortunately for Davis as he was looking at the Tryranamon behind him he didn't see what was in front of him when he tripped over a hole in the road and fell to the ground. Unable to move at the moment Davis could just see that the Tryranamon were almost on top of him. Davis couldn't help but give a quick chuckle. For it was an incident with a group of Tryranamon that made him want to quit the DigiDestined, and now it seemed as if two Tryranamon were going to end his life.

However, just when the Tryranamon were about to finish him off a shot was sent
above his and the Digimon heads. Distracted by the object above them the Digimon
momentarily forgot about Davis. As they were distracted someone in a hood came
running towards him and lifted him and pulled him away. "Who are you?" asked Davis but the hooded man didn't answer. Instead, he stopped and told him to cover his eyes now. For some reason Davis felt he could trust him and did as he was told. Suddenly the object that was above the Digimon exploded in a blast of light.

When the light dimmed away Davis opened his eyes slowly and look at where the two Tryranamon were at and saw that they were momentarily blind from the light. When he got to his feet Davis looked at the hooded man who had saved him, "Thank you. You save my life." The hooded man just turned to Davis but when he saw him
he jumped back in shock. "Davis? No, it can be. Who are you?" questioned the hooded man. Davis was confused in why this person was shocked. Then after hearing his voice something click in Davis' head, "I know you don't I?"

The man just turned back around and motion with his hand to Davis to follow him. Since that their was no other place for him to go he followed. After a while the man stopped and turned back to Davis, "Are you Davis Motomiya?" Davis just respond with a nod. The man just stood there and looked at Davis for a while. Then finally slowly he removed his hood so to allow Davis to see his face. Davis was
shocked at who it was, "C-Co-Cody? Is that really you?"

It was in fact the young DigiDestined Davis knew. Only now he
was now taller, more built and now carried a sword on his back. "Cody its good to see you. What happen to you?" "I can ask you the same question Davis. Where
have you been for the past eight years? We all thought you were died." Davis was shocked at what Cody had said and was silent before talking. "What do you mean eight years? Also why did you think I was died?" "All of us saw you fall into the river in the battle with the Mammothmon. They never found your body and presumed
that you were dead and it has been eight years since then. Don't you remember anything?" Davis shook his head, "All I remember is falling in the river. When I went under I black out and when I woke up I was here. What has happen and why are their control spires and Digimon in the real world?"

"Well, after we all thought you were died the Digimon Emperor
captured us all. He took control of our Digimon by putting dark rings on them and
they continue to be under his control." "Does that mean Veemon is as well?" "No. The Emperor destroyed him as an example to us. He said that Veemon
was not useful since you 'died.'"

Davis looked at the ground with sorrow. He couldn't believe it, his friend and
partner Veemon was gone. "But how did he bring the control spires and those Digimon into the real world?" "After we were capture he stole all the energy from our D3s to break the barrier between the real world and the digital world. After doing that he saw us as nothing more than annoying kids. So he ordered our own Digimon to
destroy us. But before they could do anything Tai and the older DigiDestined saved us and we were able to escape." Cody let out a sigh before continuing. "However, we weren't able to repair the damage to the digital barrier and we couldn't stop the Emperor from sending numerous troops of his control Digimon into the real world.
We tried to stop him but it wasn't enough. We were quickly outnumbered."

Cody stopped so to allow everything he said to get through to Davis. "But we continued to fight on, and on. We lost family and friends. Now after eight years I am the only one left." Davis was confused about the last thing Cody had said. "Cody what do you mean that you are the last one left? What about Tai, T. K., Kari and the other DigiDestined? Aren't they helping you?" Cody slowly shook his head. Before he could as any questions Cody got up, "Davis your not going to like this but you have to see this. So just follow me." Davis couldn't understand what Cody wanted to show him and why didn't he tell him where the others were but got up and followed him.

Both of them walked for a while until they came to a cemetery. Even though he had a bad feeling he followed Cody. They finally stopped and Cody pointed to some certain tombstones. Slowly Davis walked passed Cody and looked at them and what he feared the most had come true. Right in front of him were the tombstones of all his friends. After letting Davis get it all together Cody walked besides him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"This is where the mighty DigiDestined lay. Tai was the first.
He and Augumon sacrificed themselves in destroying one of the Emperor's weird
Digimon creations named Kimeriamon. Matt, Joe, Mimi and were next after trying to rescue some people from one of the Emperor's slave camps. Izzy and Yolei came after when they were trying to steal information from the Emperor's main computer. Next were T. K. and Sora were the next to die as they tried to destroy one the main
factories that the control spires were being manufactured. We were able to bury each of them here. And all this occurred with a span of six years." Tears were coming from Davis' eyes as he looked at each of his friends tombstones. But one specially that had pink flowers in front of it. He slowly walked over to it and looked. In front of him was Kari's tombstones. "What happen to Kari?" he asked with
sadness in his voice.

"You have to know Davis that after we thought you were died Kari took it bad.
Things got worse after Tai and T. K. died. It looked as if she became a whole different person. She seemingly lost her playfulness and became more serious.
When T. K. had died she took the goggles that you gave him and started to wear them. She said she was wearing them because she felt like they would give the courage that you and Tai showed. But, one year ago..." Cody couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Please Cody. Tell me what happen to her," pleaded Davis without turning his
gaze from Kari's tombstone. "One year ago we got a letter from the Emperor saying that he wanted battle with us to finish everything. Kari didn't really trust the Emperor to a fair fight but she decided to go. I told her I was going to but she told me stay behind. I pleaded with her to let me help. She finally agree to let me go but when I
turned away from her she gave me a chop in the back of the neck which caused me to pass out. When I finally came to I was alone. Realizing what might have happen I quickly went to the spot the Emperor told us to come. To my sadness, when I got there I spotted her, face down in the ground and died. I buried her body here and I
been on my own every since then."

Davis stood in front of Kari's grave in silence. He was trying to get everything
that occurred when he was gone. Everything that he hold dearly was now gone. Veemon was gone, all the DigiDestined except for Cody were now died as well and he didn't know if his family was died or alive. "Your not alone anymore Cody. I am going to help you stop the Emperor." "No, Davis. The Emperor doesn't know that you are still alive. He hunts me down day and night. But he doesn't know about you. You can get away from all this and-" "And what? No matter where I go I will just end up in places just as bad as this or even worst. I already lost my Digimon, my family and my friends. I am not going to lose you to."

Before they could argue anymore a giant fireball exploded right in front of them.
They looked and saw that the blast came from the two Tryranamon they encountered
earlier. But now something else was with them. By what Davis could tell it was some kind of hover platform with a person on a throne. When came closer he saw that the person was the Digimon Emperor, only now he was much taller. "Well, look what we have here. The last DigiDestined," he stood up and looked at Cody, then turned to look at Davis. "And who is this? Oh I remember you now. You were
that DigiDestined that was thought to have drown in the river. I am somewhat surprise you are alive, but I can't say the same for your friends." Davis looked at the Emperor with anger in his eyes. He looked back at Kari's grave and vowed to average hers, and everyone else's death. "Oh I see that you are upset about the death of the DigiDestined of Light. I must say she was a good foe. Always getting
in the way. But at last, like the others she was dealt with." Slowly the Emperor went to grab something in his cape. When he took the object out Davis could see it wasn't any weapon. It was Davis' old goggles.

"I know what you must be thinking. How did I get this? Well, I will tell you. I
took them from the dead body of the DigiDestined girl that you called Kari. But before she died I heard her say something. She said 'I am sorry Cody, you are the last chance the world has. I'm sorry guys, I will be joining you soon.' Then she said something that was very amusing, 'Davis I hope you are proud of me. I lived up to my promise to you about fighting to the end. I wish I was as brave as you were.'
With that she passed on and I claimed my prize," he said as he moved the goggles in his hands.

"You heartless bastard. Do you have any regret for anything you have done?"
questioned an angry Davis. "Why yes I do. I wish I could see the look on your face when I killed her." The Emperor then snapped his finger and ordered the Tryranamon to fire. As ordered both Digimon fired their fireballs. However, instead of hitting Davis and Cody and the fireballs went over them and exploded behind them. Davis turned
around and saw that the Emperor's real target wasn't him and Cody. It was the graves of the DigiDestined.

Now where the graves his friends lay was now a crater. Davis just stood there, not moving as the smoke was rising from the ground. He saw that their was nothing left. From the corner of his eye he noticed something. It was one of the flowers that was on Kari's grave. He slowly bent down and picked it up. It was apparent that it was the only thing that survived the explosion. Cody was still standing in the same place, growing with anger. Not only did the Emperor was cruel enough to kill his friends and be happy about it, but now he was stoop low enough as to destroy their own graves. Without even thinking he pulled out his sword and charge at the
Emperor. Before Cody got even close enough one of the Tryranamon blocked him and throw him down to the ground. Cody hit the ground with a thud, which caused him to turn around and see him on the ground and the Emperor motioning the Tryranamon to eliminate him.

Davis tried to run to help Cody but one of the Tryranamon fired a blast in front of
him and knocking him down for the moment. With Davis out of the picture the
Tryranamon went back to Cody who still couldn't get up. Cody tried to struggle up but knew it was the end for him as he saw the look in the Emperor's eyes. "You may get rid of me, but others will stand up and fight." "Face it DigiDestined you are finish. Even when you were all together you couldn't stop me. So face it you lost and both the digital world and real world are mine. Now Tryranamon, finish him."
Doing as they were told they fired their fireballs directly on Cody who was immediately engulfed in the blast. Davis could only watch as his last friends being killed in front of his eyes.

When the blast finally went away Davis slowly looked into the crater and saw a
half burnt Cody on his back, with blood coming from almost his entire body. Not paying any attention to the Emperor that was now in a cruel sinister laugh he jumped into the crater and grabbed Cody in his arms. "Cody? Cody please say something," but Cody stayed still not moving. "Face it DigiDestined. He is gone. Just like the rest of your friends," replied the Emperor. As Davis looked at the Emperor with
hatred in his eyes the half dead Cody started to moved. "Cody, your alive." Cody coughed up some blood and was gasping for air, "Davis I am not going to make it. Just don't give up. Kari once told that when you were coming to save us you told her you would fight with everything you got and fight until the end. I want you to continue
that promise." "Cody...I-I-" "Please Davis. Promise me that you will continue to fight on." "I promise Cody. I give you my word." Cody's eyes started to get cloudy as he slowly started to stop breathing, "Thank you Davis." With that Cody closed his eyes for the finally time and took his finally breath.

"Cody...Cody...NOOOO." yelled Davis as his friend died in his arms. He was now the last DigiDestined.

****

Davis quickly opened his eyes and saw that he wasn't in the same horrible place
that he was in a few moments ago. Instead he was in a small hut. *Was that all a dream. It felt so real. * Davis train of thought was broken when four small Digimon came into the hut. "Good your awake," mentioned one of the Digimon. "Who are you and how did I get here?" questioned Davis. "We are Koromon. We brought you to our village when we found you on the shore by the river. You passed out so we brought you here to recover." "I thank you very much for what you did. By any chance did you see another human here? A girl, probably with a two Digimon?" "No, we didn't. You were the only one we found." "Damn it. That must mean the Digimon Emperor must have gotten them. I have to save them."

"Hey what is that? You didn't have that with you when we left you here," asked
one of the Koromon as he motioned to Davis' right hand. In his hand was a flower. The same flower that was on Kari's grave in the dream. The same flower he grabbed after hers and the rest of the DigiDestined grave's were destroyed. "Was that dream really a dream? Or was it a promotion of what the world be like if I don't stop it?" asked Davis to no one as he carefully put the flower in his pocket on his jacket.

Knowing that their was no time to spare Davis got up and quickly ran out of the
hut, with the four Koromon behind him. "Do you know where the Digimon Emperor
might be right now?" "We have heard that the Emperor has been a base in a small forest just up the river where we found you, but we are not certain." Wasting no time Davis quickly ran off in the direction where they have mention. "Thank you for everything." Davis ran as fast as could. Trying to get there to free his friends. *Even if that dream wasn't a promotion I have to do my best to prevent it. I have seen what could happen if the Digimon Emperor gets his way. Like I promised Kari when we came here, I will fight with everything I got and I will never get up. *
