A/N: I don't own any of these characters from Toei.®

TK: Last time, Ken and I were being held captive by Arukinimon and Mummymon. We relived some old memories of our fist digimon encounter. When Matt and WereGarurumon saved us we found out that Arukinimon was under the spell of a black gear. Wonder if he's back?

Episode Three

"The Darkness: Destroyed or Resurrected?"

Davis, TK, Kari, and Ken had gone over to TK's house to meet Ivorimon.

"Hello pleasure to finally meet Takeru's friends." Ivorimon said with a bow.

"Ivorimon I told to use my nick name."

"You mean TS isn't your real name?" Davis asked.

"No ,Davis, it's not. So what's this I hear of you guys finding a new crest?"

"Yep. Izzy says it's the Crest of Dreams, but we don't know who it belongs to." Kari replied showing TK the picture she had taken. "Do you have any idea?"

"Nope. Maybe we should go and find it?"

"Let's go now. It's Saturday and the others are busy until this evening." Davis said pulling out his Digivice.

"Okay. Let's go!"

"All right! Digiport Open!"

The computer screen begins to glow and the Digidestined are pulled out of this world and deposited into the Digital world.

"Are you sure this is where it was Davis?"

"Of course Ken now come on. We have to find something called a tag?"

TK and Kari just laugh and begin to look for the tag. The digimon weren't much help since they were to busy playing with their new friend Ivorimon.

"Hey I think I found it!" Davis called displaying a small necklace. "Is this it?"

"Let me see," TK said grabbing the tag from Davis. As soon as he touched it began to glow and the carving on the rocks shrank and placed itself in an opening in the tag. It glowed a final time and the it was secured.

"Whoa how come it came to me? I already have a crest? I don't need two. The Crest of Hope is hard enough to keep lit." TK asked staring at the now dull crest.

He looked at Kari and was about to ask her something when he felt a familiar feeling. He turned to see a dark cloud begin to form. From it came a hideous laughter.

"It can't be, impossible. I destroyed you!"

"You thought you did but, just like Angemon, I was reborn and have to exact revenge against you, child of hope!"

"TK who's that!" Kari said hiding behind Ken and Davis.

"Someone who should be dead. This has to be a dream a horrible dream!" As TK said this the crest around his neck began to glow. He looked at Ivorimon. "Ivorimon Digivolve. NOW!"

"Ivorimon digivolve to… Arukinimon! Acid Mist!"

Devimon was overwhelmed by the poisonous gas and soon fell to the ground in agony. When he regained composure he laughed. "Now for the real reason I'm here, Darkness Awake!" With this said Devimon disappeared and turned into a black orb. A blinding flash lit the area and when everyone's sight came back Arukinimon had un-digivolved to her Rookie form and Devimon was gone.

"Is he gone?" Kari asked getting up off the ground.

"Yes." TK answered coldly, "And this time for good. Of course I wouldn't mind destroying him or any digimon. Just for fun."

"TK! What are you saying. That was horrible. You just killed a Digimon! He hadn't even attacked us yet." Kari said standing in front of TK.

"That's what you think. I have a new goal…"

"What TS?" Davis asked rubbing his head.

"To destroy the Digital World and all the Digimon in it."

"What!?" Kari and Ken said together.

"You can't be serious. You can't destroy something with a heart! That's murder!" Ken shouted remembering what TK had said to him about Digimon being living things. "You said so your self!"

"I don't care. Patamon, Mizukomon. Let's get going."

"TK…"

"Takeru…"

"Hold on TK! What is wrong with you? I've never seen you like this. We should try an heal the evil digimon, not kill them!"

"You're only saying that because it happened to your digimon. But not all evil digimon are weak like her."

"Hey! I was never really evil I was tricked by Myotismon!" Gatomon replied defending herself,

"TS! Kari! Calm down let's talk about this like adults."

"You be quiet! Davis…"

"Your acting worse then me!!!"

"DON'T INTERRUPT!" TK shouted his anger rising to its peak. Without thinking he punched Davis in the chin. It knocked him to the floor. TK pick him up and held him over his head as if he weighed as much as a twig. "You and the other pathetic Digidestined can't stop me. And maybe I …"

"You guys, I feel someone coming." Mizukomon said, happy she had stopped TK from hurting Davis.

"Who?"

"Me…"

Kari turned to where the voice was coming from and when she saw who it was she gasped. For the voice belonged to the strongest Dark Master, Piedmon.

"As I was saying," TK continued throwing Davis to the ground, "Maybe I should start with an old acquaintance. Patamon digivolve…now!!"

"Yes TK, Patamon digivolve to ... Angemon"

"Pathetic. I beat you once an d I shall do it again." Piedmon said with an evil laugh.

Before Piedmon could attack however the crest glowed again.

"Angemon digivolve again!" TK shouted.

"What? Angemon digivolve to… MagnaAngemon." The now ultimate digimon shouted. "Gate of Destiny."

MagnaAngemon unsheathe his Excaliber sword and made a circle in the air. The circle the turned into a gate. The gate opened and began to draw Piedmon into it.

"Ha this time I'm prepared. You won't destroy me so easily. I will survive this."

"That is what you think. No digimon can survive this attack. It is impossible." MagnaAngemon said as the gate closed around Piedmon who was screaming in agony. The Digidestined covered their ears in order to block out the sound. Only TK smiled as the Dark Master disintegrated into dark pixels.

MagnaAngemon un-digivolved to Patamon and flew over to TK with Mizukomon on his tail.

"TK why did you order Patamon to do that? Why did you kill a digimon?" Mizukomon asked looking up at her friend.

TK simply looked out towards a dark cloud. "BlackWarGreymon." He whispered. "Mizukomon, Patamon let's go I've unfinished business. Davis we will finish our battle later until then expect to hear about me from your Digimon friends. Patamon Digi-armor Energize! Let's go Pegasusmon, Mizukomon."

"TK where are you going?" Kari asked approaching him. "What kind of business? TK answer me, don't leave!"

But it was to late TK had already flow out of ear shot.

"TK!" Kari shouted watching him disappear over the horizon. "Davis something's wrong with TK."

"I noticed. He did a 180 or what? Should we follow him.

"No." Ken said turning towards the entrance to the digiport. "I know what has happened and nothing can save him. Except for his crest."

"But his crest was destroyed, just like mine." Kari added.

"Then he's stuck like this for ever."

"Ken, that can't be true." Davis shouted running towards Ken and the now open digiport. "There has to be a way?"

"Davis, he's right it's hopeless. Let's… just go home." With that Kari, Ken, and Davis were transported back to the real world where Cody, Yolei and Izzy were waiting.

"So you thought you could go to the Digiworld without us. Well you were wrong." Yolei said getting ready to lecture.

"Hey where's TK, Ivorimon and Patamon?" Cody realizing that they were missing.

"He's gone Cody. He ran off after BlackWarGreymon. And…and we couldn't stop him." Kari said holding back tears.

Yolei and Cody simply looked at each other as Izzy went to Ken for an explanation. He noticed the bruise that was forming under Davis's eye.

"What happened to you?"

"TJ happened that's what. The jerk lost his temper and punched my lights out. Then this Piedmon fellow came and he went all weird."

Izzy simply looked at Davis in confusion. They had defeated Piedmon three years ago. How could he have returned.

"Did anything else happen?"

"Yes." Ken said, "This Devimon character appeared, he said he was looking for revenge against he who had defeated him."

"TK. TK was the one who had defeated him, when we first went to the Digiworld."

As they continued to talk, Kari walked towards the window,

"TK," she thought, "What's wrong with you. I thought you wanted the same thing I did. Why didn't you tell me. I don't know why you hate the powers of darkness so much you would want to destroy them. Unless there's a darkness in you too?"

To Be Continued…

Is Kari right? Could TK become the new Digimon Emperor? Can the Digidestined find a way to bring him back. Why has he not told of his first meeting with Devimon. Stay tuned to find out.
