Sorry for the long wait. This is the second to last chapter to this story; I'm still depressed about that. But all I'm going to say about this chapter is DON"T KILL ME. I am so sorry I am so sorry, but I will make it up in another story. What am I talking about just read and you'll see.
As always I do not own digimon, or anything else for that matter.
Chapter 10:
No one was speaking to him that much was obvious. It wasn't like he wanted to talk to any of them. Right now he preferred to walk in quite, for now he need time to himself time to think. TK walked behind the eleven teens and their digimon in front of him they had left early that morning entering through Tai's home computer. Once they arrived they had only talked a few minutes determining which was the safest path to travel. Without a word the started towards their final most important battle of there lives.
The only good thing about this whole situation was that Ajona wasn't with them. His plot to hurt her into staying home worked. The worst part of the whole thing was that Matt had refused to talk to him since he arrived home last night. His parents unaware of what had occurred only hours before, were polite and concerned for him. He knew it was hard on both his parents to send their only children off to face an unbeatable opponent. Especially since the last time they sent them, only one came back. He was positive when and if he got back he would be locked in a closet for the next ten years or so.
Looking up towards the rest of the group he noticed Matt talking to Sora. Matt had been so supported of him since he had returned; he didn't think many people would have trusted him as much as Matt had. It was time for the protected to become the protector for a change. His parents hadn't had time to get used to the idea that he was alive. If he died they could still get over it, but Matt's death would kill them.
"Patamon?"
"Yes TK," His faithful digimon asked, looking down from his perch atop of TK head.
"I need you to do me a favor."
"What?"
Taking a deep breath TK murmured, "During the battle with Blitomon I want you to protect Matt."
"I'll do my best to protect you and Matt..."
"No," TK interrupted his tiny protector. "During the battle with Blitomon I don't want you to protect me, only Matt."
TK felt his little digimon stiffen on top of his hat then felt the loss of pressure while Patamon flew off and stopped TK in his path. The others continued on not noticing that one of their own was not following.
Patamon looked at his partner hundreds of emotions flowing through his eyes; the big ones being anger and hurt. "TK I won't keep that promise." Patamon's voice was stern with his resolve.
TK hesitated before going on, "Patamon you should protect someone who deserves to be protected, that's not me."
"TK don't you start believing in your lie too." Patamon's floated down to the ground staring up at the taller boy.
TK looked away, "What do you mean?"
"Your lie about Ajona brother, I know it was a lie." TK head swung around to argue but Patamon cut him off. "I also know why you did it. You did it because you care about Ajona and you didn't want to see her get hurt."
A small smile played on TK lips, "what is it with me not being able to tell a lie?"
Patamon anger left his eyes only to have loneness replaced it. "TK I'm your friend, you don't know what I went through when I thought you were killed by Blitomon."
"Patamon..."
"No let me finish." When TK nodded he continued, "I let my best friend down. I was supposed to protect you and I couldn't do it."
TK kneeled down by his partner and placed a comforting hand on his back. "It wasn't your fault Patamon."
Patamon stared directly into TK eyes; "it will be if I let you die now. So forget it I'll do a lot for you TK but I won't turn my back on you."
TK was quite for a long time he never realized how mush pain he had caused his digimon. Now that he got his memories back he could remember when he thought Devimon had killed Patamon. The fear of losing Patamon again had kept him up to many nights to count. He couldn't let Patamon blame himself for his death.
"I'm sorry Patamon, your right." Raising his hand he added, "Will make a promise here and now. Not only are we going to defeat Blitomon were going to return home safe and sound and without any regrets. Deal?"
Patamon lifted one of his furry paws placing it into TK outstretched hand. "Deal."
"Okay now that we have our bargain, we better catch up to the other." Standing up he added, "As it is I bet you I'll be getting a lecher from Matt about wondering off."
Flying up to his usual perch atop of TK hat Patamon giggled. "Your probably right. I can here him now 'TK where have you been?'"
Laughing TK started running after the others. "Oh come on Matt's not that bad."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"TK where have you been?" Matt yelled as soon as TK caught up to them.
Trying to not laugh he merely shrugged his shoulders, "I had to tie my shoes."
Matt looked unconvinced but didn't say anything else. Tai took that opportunity to speak to the group. "Were close enough that we could stay here for the night. As soon as the sun starts to rise will get ready for the ambush."
"What exactly is the plan Tai?" Joe asked flopping down on a log besides Mimi.
"Well you see...Um...to be honest… I haven't thought of one yet." With that the group let out a load grown. "Don't worry I'll think of something."
"That's what worries us." Matt joked as he leaned back against a tree.
"Don't worry guys I have a plan." Davis jumped up standing next the old leader.
"Great were doomed." Yolie murmured.
Ignoring Yolie comment Davis continued. "Listen the new digidestions will wait for him at the Ronda view point. The old ones will stay hidden, somewhere close by. Will tell him that the others didn't trust him, or something and so they stayed behind. Then while his back is turned the older kids will attack him. It will be clear sailing from there; we get Blitomon once and for all. So what do you think?"
Twenty-three pairs of eyes stared at him as if he had just grown ten heads. Veemon coming out of shock first smiled. "Davis that's a great idea."
Yolie nodded her head, "who would have thought."
Frowning at the lavender haired girl Davis turned to the others. "So were going through with my plan?"
Tai was still shacking his head in amazement, "We don't have any other suggestions, and so I guess will go with Davis plan."
"Great," Davis jumped in the air. "Blitomon won't know what hit him."
"Lets get some rest its going to be a long night," Izzy said stretching out on his back Tentamon sitting next to him.
"I don't know if I can sleep," Mimi hugged herself fighting off a sudden chill. Palomon put her leafy arm around her to comfort her.
"Don't worry Mimi," TK said walking away from the group, "were going to be fine tomorrow."
"Where are you going?" Matt asked concerned as he noticing TK walking into the woods.
"I won't go far."
Walking to a shaded area not far away TK sat down on a stone. Patamon floated down to sit by him. They were both quite each one content to just sit there.
"TK can I talk to you?"
Patamon jumped a little when Kari voice drifted in behind them. TK who didn't even flinch patted a rock beside him. Taking it for a yes, Kari lowered herself next to him. Neither spoke for a long time, Kari snuck a look at TK notice the distance look in his eye.
He looks so lost.
His eyes never focused on anything, and there was a deep hurt in them. It was breaking her heart knowing what he must be going through. Though she knew what she was about to say would only hurt herself she had to talk to him.
"TK why did you yell at Ajona?"
TK stayed quite for a while, she didn't know if he was going to answer her but then he turned to her, "I think you already know the answer to that."
Kari closed her eyes of cause she knew the answer she just wasn't able to except it right now. "TK what happened to us?"
He didn't have to ask what she was referring to. "Did you know I had the biggest crush on you when we were younger."
Kari couldn't look at him any longer the truth of his words hurt her more then she ever imagined. "I felt the same way TK," she added in a voice no loader then a whisper, "I still do."
TK gave her a small smile, "I know."
Kari wiped her head up to stare at him his eyes TK had that far away look in his eyes again. "Life was so much easer before Blitomon came along." Kari could only nod wondering where TK was taking this. "I used to sit up for hours wondering how I was going to ask you out, a movie and Diner, or maybe a walk in the park. My mind would be full of the possibilities, and not once did I fear that you would refuse, I was more scared of the fact that I wouldn't be good enough for you."
TK leaned back on his hands and looked up towards the setting sun. "You deserved no deserve someone who is kind and caring who will be there to support and protect you. Someone to love you and nurture you."
Kari was about to yell out that he was those thing. Before she could he turned to stare at her then, and the words froze in her throat. His eyes telling her everything that he was thinking, his eyes were filled with love but not the love she wanted. He looked at her the same way he did Mimi or Sora, he didn't look at her the same way he did with Ajona.
She couldn't hate Ajona; it wasn't her fault that she had captured TK heart. TK was and will always be her best friend. He continued then, "Matt said that I haven't changed but he's wrong I have changed. I've grown up into someone I proud of. I might know how to kill a man or cheat at cards but that doesn't make me any less of a person. I finally accepted that I no better or worse then I was before this thing happed. I' m just a little rough around the edges."
Turning he took Kari's hands in his, "I don't know what would have happened if none of this would have happed. But it did, and I'm not sorry. I love you Kari you're my best friend, my sister, the person I confide all my secrets in. Even though you will always be special to me, my heart chose someone else. It chose someone who would shot at me after tracking me in the desert for three days, someone who would argue with me over who my brother is, someone who would kick me in a very sensitive part then hug me right after doing that. I never wanted to hurt you Kari, I'm sorry."
Kari felt the tears running down her cheek but her heart didn't hurt as much as she thought it would. TK had found someone he cared about a lot and as much as she wished things could be different she couldn't stop being happy for him. Wrapping her arms around him she pulled him into a hug. "Don't worry TK Ajona cares about you. She'll forgive you as soon as she realizes why you did it. If she doesn't she isn't good enough for you."
"Liz used to say that with out heartache you couldn't know what true happiness was when you found it. I know theirs someone out there who will give you your hearts desire; I just wish it could have been me. I'm so sorry Kari if I..."
Kari stopped him by placing two fingers on his lips. "Don't say anything." With that she leaned down and kissed him. It wasn't what she expected her fist kiss to be like. It wasn't a kiss of happiness or joy but a kiss of forgiveness and a kiss goodbye. Her tears mingled with his as she broke off the kiss. She stood up and made her way back to the group she had to forge ahead even though a piece of her hear would be left behind.
*~*~*~*~*~
The sun was high in the sky as the six digidestions and their digimon waited for the climatic moment to happen. The other six digidestions were hidden only a few yards away safety hidden in some dense trees. Their nerves were all strong high making them jump at every sound.
"Where is he?" Yolie complained as she surveyed her surroundings.
"TK are you sure Blitomon told you to meet him here?" Davis asked.
TK shook his head, "you don't forget a message like that Davis."
"Well I say we give him another hour and then..." Davis words were interrupted by the sky turning ominous black and a gigantic windstorm forced them to cover themselves.
"So we meet again digidestions." The voice was as cold as they remembered. It was hard to forget something that was pure evil. "Do invite your friends hiding in the trees to join us."
A small gasp was heard as the trees blocking the others slowly scribbled up and died before them. The others once being found made their way towards the younger digidestions.
"Is that the best you could do?" Blitomon slowly shook his head, "I expected more from the famous digidestions."
"We haven't even started you disheveled old digimon." Davis shouted causing the evil digimon to look at him.
"Ah I remember you the one with the big words. Its a shame that you can't back them up. When I'm done with you, your going to wish I killed you those two years ago."
"You can't intimidate us," TK shouted moving forward towards the digimon. Stopping before him he stared into his evil eyes, "Were not afraid of you."
Blitomon looked down at the smaller child, the one that had survived his attack and dared to look him directly in his eye. "I going to enjoy killing you, once there hope is gone then nothing will stand in my way." He raised his hand pointing it at TK who bravely stood his ground. "Goodbye little hope."
Just before the energy beam was about the hit him a figure stood in his path taking the full force of the blast. Staggering back the figure stood then peered behind him.
"Cadavermon."
The ultimate turned back towards Blitomon blade ready for attack. "I will not let you have this brave worrier. If you want him you will have to come through me."
The others who had never meet Cadavermon watched in stunned silence. While Blitomon cold eyes grew colder and his mouth formed and deeper frown. "You're a fool, if you want to die so be it."
An energy beam began forming in his hand as Cadavermon raised his blade. From there it all happened in slow motion. The first energy beam narrowly missed Cadavermon exploding into the ground besides him. Cadavermon meanwhile charged ahead, the result was a humongous eruption that resulted when the two digimon engaging in battle. Cadavermon swung his blade and with the other hand blasted his "dagger attack". Blitomon moved quickly dodging attack after attack, and then flapping his wings he soared up in the sky letting out a mirage of attacks all aimed at the digimon below him. Unable to move out of the way the attacks Cadavermon was blown forward as he was hit by attack after attack.
"Cadavermon" TK ran up to the battered skeleton noticing him starting to fade in and out. "Cadavermon get up you can't let this guy defeat you."
Cadavermon attempted to get up, only to have his arms buckle which resulted in him falling to the ground again. "I'm sorry brave worrier this is as far as I lead you. The rest is up to you. You can defeat Blitomon, just believe in yourselves." With that the grand knight in the body of a skeleton closed his eyes and faded into nothingness.
"Cadavermon!" TK closed his eyes his fingers going into fists beside him. He was getting tired of this, to many good digimon were dying because of this evil. It had to end, once and for all.
He stood up, turning to face Blitomon who had landed not far from him. Blitomon had a crude smile on his face. "So hope who will save you now?"
Lifting up his digivise TK turned to Patamon "Hey buddy, why don't we teach this guy a lesion in manners?"
"Right TK."
Turning towards the others he smiled, "You guys with me?"
Davis stepped up next to him Veemon right by his side, "Just try to fight this on your own."
Kari and Gatomon walked up to his other side, giving him a smile of forgiveness she said, "Were with you TK."
The other digidestions along with their digimon moved forward all ready to end this battle.
"Fools!" Blitomon bellowed flapping his wings causing the winds to force them to the ground. "I am not going to take any chances. This end now." Turning to TK he had his hand outstretched the familiar light forming in his hand. "Starting with you."
The energy beam shot out and TK felt a body slammed into him knocking him out of the way of the beam. Look up he saw a familiar pair of green eyes looking down at him. "And you wanted to leave me behind."
"AJ"
