Mimi: Last time, we all met up in the Digiworld. We had Izzy explain to Ken and Kari what happened four years ago with Devimon. I wonder why TK never told any of the new Digidestined about when Angemon died? But something worse happened, TK ordered Black WarGreymon to destroy one of the last two Destiny stones. Who would have guessed that sweet little TK could become so evil. But Tai's right after the fight with Devimon, TK did seem different. And Matt's still missing.

(Insert Digimon Theme Song)

"Hope or Despair?"

(Four Years ago)

The wind was blowing across the desert. A lone figure walked along. In his hand were small orbs. He laughed as he released them into the wind. They blow in every direction some heading towards another part of the desert, others towards a mountain on a tiny island. There they remain until some one with the light passes by.

Matt woke up in a clearing in the middle of a very familiar forest. He rubbed his eyes. The last thing that he remembered was running away from the others and then reaching a lake and something hitting him in the back of the head.

He looked around for Gabumon. He was no where to be found.

"Gabumon! Gabumon where are you. Great now my best friends gone."

"Really Yamato. Is he really your best friend?"

"What! Who the hell said that!"

"Please Yamato, don't you recognize your own brother?"

"What! TK, where are you?"

"Don't bother looking around. I'm communicating via a speaker."

"TK where have you been? I've been worried sick. I thought they had come back."

"Oh they did, but I got rid of them. Oh by the way if you're wondering about your little friend he's trapped somewhere on the island. Try and find him. If he's really your friend then you wont have any problem finding him. Good Bye Yamato."

"TK wait! What's wrong with TK. Forget it. I need to find Gabumon. Maybe the digimon on the island have seen him."

Matt begins his lonely walk across the familiar island.

"Tai, wake up, Tai!"

"Huh Kari what, hey what happened last night? Was it a dream? Or did…"

"TK destroy a Destiny Stone? Yeah, it was real. Tai I know your not gonna let me do this but I've got to save TK. For this world, the Digiworld and our friendship."

"Friendship? Oh crap Matt? Let's get going Kari."

"What?"

"I've gotta find Matt."

They enter the Digiworld and begin searching for their comrades.

"is it just me or are we always looking for someone." Kari said breaking the silence.

"Yeah but hey we're the leaders of the Digi destined. It's in the job description."

Kari giggled. She stared ahead thinking what could have changed TK. Her thoughts were interrupted by Tai yelling duck.

"Kari are you okay?"

"Yeah what was that."

"A digimon's attack. Something tells me TK's been busy. Come on let's get out of here."

"But Tai I could armor…

"No Gatomon, now we can't be sure if that's a control spire digimon or a Black gear controlled digimon."

"A black gear?"

Tai glances behind him. He takes a deep breath.

"Four years ago, before we came here, this is what Gennai told me, these things were created by the powers of Darkness. Seven black orbs were let lose on the Digiworld. One of those orbs became Spiral Mountain. But the other six were stolen by a strange man.'

"Six black orbs! When we fought Devimon last week he turned into a black orb and then in a flash of light it was gone and that's when TK started acting weird."

"Hmm I think I know what happened. Come on we have to get Izzy."

"Not so fast there, you Digi brats."

"That voice, it can't be!!" Kari said stopping dead in her tracks.

"It can't be DemiDevimon!"

"You got that right, and you twerps aren't goin' any where. Master Takeru want's us to destroy any humans in this world."

"And you two are first." Another voice added, "Pummel Wap"

"Watch out you two! Leomon help!"

"Huh Matt?"

"Fist of the Beast King"

Leomon launches his attack on Ogermon and DemiDevimon. The two attacks collide and cancel out. The digimon run away towards the foot of Spiral Mountain.

"Tai, Kari are you two all right?"

"Hee, we're fine Matt. Hey where'd you run off to?"

"I thought I was going to go to my thinking spot but apparently TK had other ideas. He knocked me out and I woke up on File Island. Leomon helped me find you guys."

"Yes, Tai please tells why the guardian of hope has betrayed us?"

"He hasn't betrayed us Leomon, he's under the spell of the Orbs of Fate. The one that represents the power of Dark Dream."

"but Tai, TK's crest is definitely strong enough to hold back all of the remaining Orbs. Unless all seven went in there's no way he could have been possessed."

"Kari's is right. The Orbs are indeed very strong, but individually they can not defeat the powers of Light or Hope. But together."

"Hold a sec, you make it sound as if these orb things have a mind of their own."

"they do."

The three kids look at each other and then back at Leomon. Kari stepped up to him.

"Leomon is there a way to break this spell."

"Yes. With the power of Light. You Kari can save him. You are the only one."

"Then how do I do it."

"That has been lost to the ages. All I can tell you is follow your dreams and hope for his return."

Leomon turns and begins to walk away. He stops at the edge of the wood.

"Matt, you have been issued a challenge by the guardians of the Digiworld. You must prove that you haven't lost the power of friendship, find Gabumon, on your own. Tai, you must not bring the newer Digidestined here until this is over. Their presents shifts the power of the digivises and your Digimon will be useless, even Gatomon. TK has seen to that."

"Leomon, why didn't he just stop all of the digivises from working?" Matt asked.

"Because yours are powered by your own light inside. But the others are powered by these Digivises. Talk to Izzy, he will know what to do. Now farewell Digidestined."

He disappeared without a look back. The Digi-destined stood quiet. Not knowing what to do.

"That fight with Devimon, that's when all this started. That's when the first orb entered TK. Why I can't tell you but I bet Izzy would know. Just remember not to give up! Matt your gonna look for Gabumon?"

"of course I am. You two go help my brother. I'll be there when you fight, don't worry."

:"Bye Matt Be careful." Kari shouts as she and Tai went through the Digiport.

"Well now we know what to do, but the others won't be happy."

"I know Tai, but we can't just let the powers of Darkness win. The old TK wouldn't have wanted it that way."

"Yeah let's go get Izzy."

A lone figure stares at the screens in front of him.

"Well looks like my scouts have failed. I knew they would. Patamon come here!"

"Yes TK?"

"When the Digi-destined return to the Digiworld, which will be very soon, you will pay them a visit. Understood"

"Yes sir. Shall I digivolve?"

"No. Digi Armor Energize!"

"Patamon Armor Digivolve to… Pegasusmon! Flying Hope."

"Go wait for them. I will contact you should they arrive some where else."

Pegasusmon flies off towards the east. He waits for the others to come. Suddenly the Digiport he is guarding begins to glow. Izzy, Tai, Sora and Kari appear.

"I told ya they'd be mad."

"Yeah Tai, but what else can we do."

"Agumon's right. Wait."

"What Gatomon."

"I sense a familiar presence."

"Good or bad?"

"Depends. Watch out."

"Star Shower!'

"It's Pegasusmon. Gatomon, Digi Armor Energize!"

"Gatomon armor digivolve to… Nefertimon the Angel of light! It's good to see you partner."

TK stands at his balcony.

"Go Black Gear to the angel of Light."

"Main Wind!"

"Rosette Stone!"

"Agues Beam!"

"Queens Paw!"

"Cat's Eye Beam!"

"Star Shower!'

The Digi-destined look on as the battle ensues.

"Tai they evenly matched. It's a gamble to see who wins now."

"I know Izzy but we can't hurt him."

"Everyone duck!"

A large black gear flies towards Nefertimon. It lands on her back and in beds it self completely.

"Nefertimon! No"

"Kari get away."

Nefertimon's eyes become read. She looks at Pegasusmon.

"Ready to bag some Digi-destined?"

"Yes."

"Golden noose."

"Golden noose."

The Net surrounds Tai and Izzy but Kari and Sora manage to escape. They watch as their friends carry them towards the Dark shape on the horizon.

"NO Tai! Sora we have to follow them!"

"Right."

"Biyomon you digivolve to Garudamon. Now"

"Right Sora. Biyomon digivolve to… Birdramon."

"Birdramon digivolve to… Garudamon!"

"Hurry get on."

They race off towards the horizon. Unaware of what they may find. Or who they will fight.

To Be Continued…
