Chapter 7:

This chapter a short one but I hope you like it. As always I do not own digimon or anything related to digimon.

Chapter 7:

Gray colorless skies, land dead from the dying trees to the barred wastelands. The wind blew carrying the cries of the fallen as it passed. These are the images that the six travails encountered when they entered the gates. The digital world once full of life and hope was nothing more then a deserted black world. Shock and sadness was etched on each of the six children faces, Wearily the stepped farther in the nightmarish world.

"What happened?" Davis stared at a knotted dying tree, one of the few living things left.

"How could this happen?" Yolie was on her knees trying to find some form of life amongst the ruble.

Ken came up behind her placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry I'm sure its not all that bad."

"Not that bad!" Davis exclaimed making a wide arch with his hand. "Look at this place, everything's dead."

"Not everything our digimon are still alive." Kari voice wavering as she spoke. "I just know it."

Everyone was silent as they gazed across the wasteland. "I don't remember any of this." TK voice cut through the silence. "I guess that's a good thing."

"Oh TK." Kari came up behind him wrapping her arms around his waste hopping to block out the cold that was growing inside her. "I wish you could remember what it used to be like. It was so green so full of life. It was nothing like this."

"Blitomon did this." Cody voice was filled with anger his fingers curled into fists. "Lets find our digimon. Blitomon won't get away with this."

"That the spirit Cody." Davis sprinted forward. "The quicker we find our digimon the quicker we get Blitomon."

They walked in silence, each one lost in their own thoughts. Time didn't seem to matter as their feet moved without thought. Once in a while someone would stop only to close their eyes with a shutter and continue to walk. Each one knowing that this nightmare would forever be burned into their brains, a nightmare that when they closed their eyes at night they would see these images for the rest of their lives.

"Davis I think we should rest, we've been walking for hours." Yolie suggested though didn't make a motion to stop.

Davis looked ready to protest but stopped himself. "Okay, but only for a while it's not safe out here." They walked a few feet coming to rest at a couple a big rocks. They remained in silence, no one gaining the courage to talk about what was around them.

Kari looked over to see TK staring at a rock yet not rely seeing it. Concerned she walked over to her best friend sitting down on a rock closer to him. "Are you okay?"

He jumped a little but quickly recovered. Kari was surprised by the sadness in his eyes. "I thought if I saw this place I would get my memories back." TK voice was no loader then a whisper. "Once I had them back I could find out who I am."

"What do you mean?"

TK let out a load sigh lowering his head in the process. "I can't remember who I was. Was I a kind and gentle person? Loving and ambitious? Was I the type of person people could be proud of?" He raised his head pinning his fierce gazed on Kari. "I can't help but wonder if I was evil or cruel, that I could hurt and kill people, that I was no better then Blitomon."

Kari gave a load gasp. Standing up she stared straight into TK eyes, her actions causing everyone to stare. "You listen and you listen good Takeru Takeshi. Even in your wildest dreams you would never be anything familiar to Blitomon. Blitomon is pure evil. Look around you he did this. If you could even think that you are capable of this distraction. Your memory loss is not the only this wrong in you head." Letting a shuttered breath escape she continued more calmly then before. "TK you are a sweet, gentle, sensitive worm hearted person. You're the type of person people want to be like. The type of person easy to love."

TK head snapped up and he noticed a pink tinge covering Kari's cheeks. "I just hate not remembering you guys."

"Don't worry TK your memories will come back you have to give it time." Kari smiled hopping that she helped.

"Kari thank you for…for what you said."

"Don't worry TK, what are best friends for." Kari smiled as the wind caught his bags blowing them into the boys sparkling eyes. He would never change of that she would bet her life on.

A look of confession arose across TK's face as turned to the girl. "Best friend? We were best friends?"

Kari's heart plummeted when she heard the few words. She closed her eyes turning away so that he could not see the tears pooled in her eyes. He doesn't remember me. He doesn't remember what we once had. Kari stiffened as she felt two hands on her shoulder turning her around. When she looked up she saw TK staring down at her.

"Kari I'm sorry if I hurt you. Its just when I first saw you I had the feeling that we were closer then best friends. I don't know if it was true, but I know that I care about you a great deal. I would never wish for you to be in pain." He spoke with such warmth that she felt herself relaxing in his grip. The both remained quite content on the peacefulness that surrounded them. "Your right about my memories. I already recovered a lot of my memory already. I just have to be patient."

Kari pulled him into a huge then backed away. "Don't worry TK you'll get them back." Kari reassure herself, TK would get his memories back then he would remember her and everything would be back to normal.

"I guess we should get going, who knows what type of trouble AJ getting herself and the others into." Kari just stared after TK watching Davis and him talking while they walked with Yolie, Ken and Cody behind them. She would have to get TK memories back quickly, either that or keep Ajona away from him. With that thought she sprinted ahead caching up to the small group. If she had looked back she would have seen five pair of eyes following her, and an evil smile baring its teeth.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey guy's I think I see something." Cody's voice was laced with excitement. They had been walking for hours with no sign of visible life. Now as they ran up the cliff they saw what made the youngest member of their team excited.

Before them was a gigantic black castle. Small gargoyles and other ghostly figures decorated its walls. The clouds that were overhead were darker then they had been anywhere else, coursing no sunlight to pass through.

"I don't think our digimon are in there." Yolie pivoted to leave "Lets keep looking someplace else."

Ken grabbed her hand and led her towards the castle following the other digidestions. "Don't worry Yolie I won't let anything happen to you." Tightening his grip on her hand she followed dazed by his words.

Davis stopped short, scanning left and right. "Did anyone hear that?"

Everyone stopped eyes moving trying to listen for any bit of noise. "I don't hear anything." Cody head never stopped looking. "Its probably just your nerves."

"Hey what do you mean by that?" Davis asked defensively. "My nerves are perfectly, I just thought...Look out!"

Everyone stumbled back nearly avoiding a huge tail. Looking up Ken saw a familiar digimon looking down at them. "It's Dreckomon."

"So we meet again." Dreckomon head's surveyed the small group, the head with one eye stopped short as it spotted TK. "This time you won't get away."

TK looked up at the huge beast a small smile playing on his lips. "Well as to that let me just say this… Run!" Without pausing the group took off running towards the castle. A load fierce howl let loose behind them as the digimon chased after them.

Davis peered over his shoulder watching the digimon charge closer every second. "We have to get to the castle or were dead."

"You don't have to tell us twice." Ken ran passed dragging Yolie behind him.

They ran towards the massive doors, only to discover that their ticket to freedom were locked. TK turned around seeing Dreckomon had caught up to them. His mouths raised in an evil smile. "Now you die."

TK closed his eyes waiting to see his life pass before him. He doubted that a vortex could save him now.

"Boom Bubble."

"Lightning Claw."

"V-Head Butt"

"Buzz Saw"

"Diamond Shell."

"Silk Thread."

Chancing to open his eyes TK saw six small digimon defending them against Dreackomon. Turning her saw huge smiles on the others faces. One small blue digimon ran up towards Davis. "Davis are you ready?"

Davis pulled out his D3 pointing it at the blue digimon. "All right, lets go."

Then there was a blinding light, TK had to shield his eyes from it's intensity. Through the noise of battle he could clearly hear. "Veemon digivole to Exveemon." Once the light dimmed, TK noticed that a larger blue digimon had taken the place of the little one. What's going on?

"Ken are you ready?" A small green worm like digimon had made his way to Ken side.

"Let's get him Wormmon." Ken repeated the action that Davis had done moments ago and the light shone bright but this time around the worm like digimon.

"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon."

TK felt his moth touching the floor, as the little worm was replaced by a lager insect type digimon. I repeat. What going on?

"Vee Laser."

"Spiking Strike."

The two digimon fought Dreckomon making the huge digimon back up away from the group. Ken ran over to Davis digivice held high. "Lets finish this Davis."

The two digimon started to glow then were surrounded by a powerful light. "Exveemon Stigmon DNA digivolve to Paildramon."

TK stumbled back, the two digimon had disappeared and an even bigger digimon took their place. Okay I don't even want to know what's going on now.

"Attack!" Davis yelled causing the digimon to fly towards Dreckomon.

Drecomon swung its tail but Paildramon easily avoided it. "Desperado Blaster." As the attack hit Drecomon he let out a roar of pain then exploded in a showering of thousands of tiny black dots.

TK stared in wonder as Paildramon floated back towards the ground and turned back into the two small digimon. They then ran towards Davis and Ken who picked them up and hugged the little digimon. Looking around he saw that Kari had embraced a cat like digimon and Yolie and Cody were hugging a bird and shelled digimon. Are these the digimon they were talking about?

"TK its you. Your okay." Turning to his name he saw an orange pig like digimon with wings growing out of its head flying towards him.

Scrambling back he collided into the door blocking any further retreat. The little digimon continued to approach him a small frown n his face. "TK what's wrong."

"Get away from me." TK ran around the digimon stumbling to the ground as he did that. Crawling away from the digimon he backed into a solid form. Turning the best he could he saw a yellow dinosaur digimon standing behind him with five other digimon behind him.

"Hey TK what's up dude." The dinosaur like digimon reached towards him but TK stumbled back letting out a yelp in surprise.

"TK calm down." Davis ran over helping him to his feet. "These are our digimon, they're not going to hurt us."

"Our digimon?" TK looked at the twelve creatures around him. "But I thought they would be bigger?"

"What going on? What's wrong with TK?" Patomon was now on the ground his ears lowered as he looked at his digital partner.

Kari approached the little digimon and sat down by him giving him a comforting huge. "Its okay Patomon TK has amnesia, he doesn't remember anything. He doesn't even remember me or Matt."

"Patomon?" TK walked cautiously up to the little digimon. "Your Patomon?"

Still confused about TK's lost of memories he shook his head. "TK you don't know who I am?"

Shaking his head he lowered his eyes to the digimon. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I thought...I thought...I'm so sorry."

Patomon walked forward placing a small paw in TK's hand. "Don't worry TK, I forgive you."

Smiling TK cautiously picked up the digimon like it was a breakable antique and gave him a gentle hug. "I'm going to remember you Patomon, I promise."

"Hey were are Tai and the others?" Agumon asked looking around the surroundings.

Davis eyes widened remembering that they needed to get home fast. "Blitomon made it to our world. We think he's trying to take it over. Tai and the others are looking for him as we speak."

"We have to get back, there in danger without us." Gomamon waddled forward. "We'll have to go back the way you came, its the only way."

"But it took us hours to get here. Isn't there a faster way?" TK noticed Davis smiling at the others as he approached him.

"Okay TS, were going to give you a quick lesion in Digivolving 101." Turning to the others he held out his digivise. "All you have to do is hold this up to Patomon and say Digi armor energize."
