Wolfie: I own Digimon so all you other people out there owe me money.
Kari: You don't own it.
Wolfie: Yes I do!
TK: No you don't!
Wolfie: I DO! I DO! I DO! I DO!!!!
Kari: Yes you keep telling yourself that.
Wolfie: I do and I will *pokes out tongue*
Kari: Oh really mature….

~~Despair Rising, Hope Receding~~
TK awoke to the wafting aroma coming from somewhere outside his door. He yawned and stretched, careful not to knock his partner off. TK lay there in his warm bed replaying last night's events over in his head.
'Well, I guess I'd better get up now, plus that smells really good'.
"Morning Sleepyhead, sleep well?" Jade inquired as TK made his way into the kitchen. His sleep tousled hair falling into his cerulean blue eyes. 'Mental note, make sure he ditches the hat'
"Ahh yeah I did, thank you very much."
"Mmmm, is that bacon and eggs?!?" Patamon asked rather too enthusiastically for this time of the morning.
"Why yes it is, I hope you like it because I cooked more then enough for all of us."
"Alright!!! If that tastes at good as it smells, you'll easily be my second favorite human!"
"Err, thanks…I think…" Jade giggled in reply to the hungry digimon. "Just go and take a seat at the table over by the window and I'll bring it…in…" Jade ended up talking to thin air, as Patamon was already seated at the table.
"Heh, sorry about that, manners isn't really his thing, after all, he is part pig" TK whispered that last bit to her as he knew how touchy his partner was about his appearance.
"Speaking of that, isn't it kinda disturbing that he likes to eat bacon?"
"So, what's the plans for today?" TK asked having finished his breakfast.
"Well today I thought we had better find your friends." TK scowled at Jade's reply.
"But I thought you said that they were on the bad side?"
"No, I didn't say that. I just said that Gennai was an extremist and he was using them as his pawns. A slight difference, but a difference all the same." Jade smiled at the blonde.
"But you said that Gennai was after you!" Jade sighed.
"Yes, I know and he is. I just want you to be happy TK, and if I have to go with you so you can see your friends, so be it."
"But I'm happy right here, with you! You're happy here too aren't you Patamon?" The little orange digimon could only manage a content smile, as he had just finished his fourth plate of bacon and eggs. "See Jade, we're glad just to stay here. That is if you want us to…"
"Of course I want you to! It's just that I want you to at least try to convince your friends that what they're doing is wrong. They may not care for you, but I know that you care for them…a lot. And plus it'd be good to have them with us rather then against us" she added with a smile.
"Okay then, so we'll go track them down then. Err, not that I really care, but where's that ugly partner of yours?"
"Umm, actually, he should be around somewhere… Why don't you just go have a shower, second door on the right. I'm sure he'll be back by the time you finish."
"Okay then, Patamon, you stay here while…" TK turned to face his partner, who was now asleep in the sunbeams that were streaming through the window. "I guess the excitement got too much for him huh?" As TK made his way out of the room he stepped pass Jade and lightly placed a kiss on the top of her head. "Thanks for breakfast." He walked down to the bathroom and shut the door. Jades smile grew.
"Excellent, it all falls into place."
~ Somewhere in the Digital world ~
"So you all know the plan?" The giant Digimon asked.
"Yes Diablomon." The six Mammothmon echoed in reply.
"Good, well then get ready!" Diablomon watched as the huge hairy digimon rushed around and got into a line. One of them standing off to the side.
"As soon as you get the signal, charge!"
~ Gennai's ~
"Argh, I'm glad to get outta Gennai's for a while, I was starting to get sea sick." Davis stretched his arms above his head.
"How did you get sea sick?!? We weren't even moving?"
"Well we were UNDER the sea weren't we?!?!"
"Hey guys! It's such a nice day lets all go for a walk!" Sora spoke up to cut off the up coming fight.
"Yeah, let's go!" Tai agreed with Sora. All the other Digidestined agreed, well most of them.
"You guys go, I'm gonna stay here." Yamato stated as he sat down on a rock, facing the vast Ocean.
"Aww, come on Matt, it'll be just like old times. You know, when we used to trek around the Digital world together and…"
"And me and Garurumon went off by ourselves?" Tai gave his best friend the evils.
"Fine, be like that, come on guys, let's go" Tai knew there was no sense in trying to talk to Matt when he was in one of his moods.
As the group of children walked they came to a large field. It was lush and green with white and yellow flowers all over the place. The wind picked up the scent of the flowers and carried it to the Digidestined noses.
"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Mimi exclaimed. She threw her arms out and started spinning and laughing. Everyone stared at her like she was insane, although Joe was probably staring at her for other reasons… Mimi grabbed Sora by her wrists and they both started spinning and laughing. Everyone joined in. They were all having fun, something that hadn't happened for the longest time. They were all laughing and joking, well all of them except Kari. She stood by herself, watching everyone enjoying themselves. She wasn't in the mood for such antics, and she probably wasn't in the physical shape for it at the moment. She had barely touched her food in the last couple of days, and sleep was non-existent. She stood there pale with bags under her eyes, watching longingly as her brother picked up Sora and twirled her around in his arms.
'TK where are you?'
Suddenly a great thunder was heard.
"What the hell's that?!?!" Tai yelled.
"It's coming from over there!" Sora replied back, pointing to a dust cloud appearing on the edge of the flowers.
"What…what is it?" Davis inquired.
"That would be a herd of Mammothmon, I don't get it, they're usually docile creatures. Why would they be attacking us?" Izzy answered.
"Maybe we should worry about that after we're safe!" Yolie yelled out as the rampaging digimon got closer.
"Everybody run for cover!!!"
The Digidestined present scattered towards the relative safety of the edge of the field.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Stop them guys!" Davis yelled to the Digimon.
"No wait, we may be able to talk to them. They shouldn't be attacking us for no reason" Izzy countered Davis.
"Okay Izzy, we'll give it a try" Tentomon buzzed. The bug like Digimon hovered over to the approaching Digimon. "Hey Guys! Nice weather we're having, huh?" The approaching Mammothmon paid no heed to the slight distraction, they had orders to fulfill.
"Argh!"
"Tentomon!!!" The rampaging Mammothmon tramped over the tiny Tentomon.
"Is that enough proof for you Izzy?" Davis spat out towards his fellow Digidestined. Izzy's eyes narrowed.
"Show them that they can't do that to our friends!"
"You heard the man, get them!"
"Alright!" came the unanimous replay from the battlefield.
~ On a not too far hill top ~
Just as the battle was about to take place, two figures were silhouetted against the horizon on the hilltop.
"Oh no! We're too late…" Jade gasped.
"Too late for what?" TK replied.
"The Mammothmon. You see, they usually travel through these fields. Last week Gennai issued a warning. He decreed that if any Digimon were to travel through HIS fields, he'd have them destroyed."
"But that's my friends, they wouldn't hurt an innocent Digimon." As these words escaped TK's mouth, one of the Mammothmon disappeared in an inverse shower of data.
"Let's go!" The two humans took off towards the battle field.
"Oh, thank god that's over!" Yolie flopped to the ground.
"Yeah tell me about it, ya know, all this dust just can't be good for my hair" Mimi replied.
The Digidestined and their respective digimon were all lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Whoa, don't want to have to do that for a while" Davis said to no one in particular.
"What are you grumbling about? You weren't the one who got pummeled" Veemon complained rubbing his sore head.
"Ha, sorry buddy, you did good."
"I still want to know why they would attack us with no reason at all. It makes no logical sense." Izzy wondered out loud.
"Does it really matter? They attacked us first. We were just protecting ourselves! You should stop worrying about them and concentrate on your friends." Davis rebutted. At that comment, Kari wondered off from the group and sat with Gatomon underneath a tree on the edge of the field.
"Geeze, here we go again…" Tai watched his sister then his head slumped back down to the ground.
"Don't worry Tai, she'll be back to normal once we find TK…" Sora tried to comfort him.
"IF we find TK"
"Don't be like that, you just…you just have to have a little hope" Sora said with a grin "I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure we'll find him soon enough."
"OH NO! There's another one!" Yolei screamed.
"What? What's going on?!?" Ken leapt to his feet. On the other side of the field, another Mammothmon was bumbling towards the digidestined. Its steps were slow and deliberate. Had the Digidestined not been previously attack, they would have paid it no attention. But considering the days events so far, it's understandable they were so jumpy.
"Let's get him! Can any of you guys digivolve?"
"Err, I think I can… Veemon digivolve to…err, I guess I can't…"
"Step outta the way guys, we'll show you how to do this old school!" Tai announced as Sora rolled her eyes.
"Agumon digivolve to…GREYMON!" The huge gray digimon bellowed. "I'll take him down in one move!"
"Nova Blast!"
"Angel rod!" The giant digimon's attack was deflected.
"Stop it!" TK cried running up to the group.
"Angel rod!" Kari jolted out of he funk as she heard the attack that could only come from one digimon, TK's digimon.
"TK" she gasped. Gatomon was also on full alert, grinning like a Cheshire cat. The two girls jumped up, both of them started running towards their friends. Their path however, was cut of by a tall girl with longish dark hair.
"I don't think so"
"TK! You're alright!"
"What the hell are you guys doing? Why are you attacking innocent digimon?!?"
"What? What are you talking about, they attacked us! Look at the creature, it tried to kill us!" Davis pointed to the Mammothmon who was much smaller then the first group. It's eyes showed the fear it was feeling. It was obviously only a youth.
"You're afraid that that will attack you! It's terrified of you! Frankly I don't blame it, you probably wiped out it's entire family because Gennai told you to!"
"Look, TK calm down" Tai approached the enraged teen. As he tried to put a hand on his shoulder, TK pulled away.
"You're all the same, can't you see what you're doing is wrong?!?"
"Look TK, we were just trying to protect ourselves!"
"Oh I see, because, lord knows, if those Mammothmon ate some of these flowers, the Digital World would implode and everyone would die" TK replied sarcastically.
"Hey! You weren't here! How the hell would you know what happened?" Davis threw in.
"Oh that's right, I wasn't here because I risked my life trying to protect YOU! Personally, I'm beginning to doubt whether or not it was worth it. At least Jade opened my eyes as to what's REALLY happening! And as for what happened here, I know what I saw and what the little Mammothmon saw. I can't believe I thought of you guys as family, I'm outta here!" TK glanced around trying to find Jade, he spotted her near Kari. He then stormed off in their direction with Patamon sitting on his tense shoulder.
"Excuse me please, I want to see my friend"
"No excuse me!" Jade curtly shoved Kari backwards. Kari just stared at the new girl in shock.
"He-hey, I just want to see TK."
"And I just don't want you to"
"What's your problem?"
"What's MY problem? You're the one with the problem Little Girl. The only reason that TK disappeared was because his 'friends' fobbed him off and threw him to the enemy" Kari gasped, how did this stranger know all this.
"Well…well, for your information, we didn't throw him to the enemy…"
"But you didn't stop him either. Not only was TK mentally hurt, but he was also emotionally distressed. But don't worry Little girl, I'll be there for him" Jade said with a wink.
"Don't talk about TK like that!"
"Aww, and what's the Widdle Girl gonna do about it" Jade said, putting on a baby voice.
"I'll show you what Ill do!" Kari exclaimed. Unfortunately for her, she did not see TK approaching from behind, but Jade was all too aware of him.
"Please little girl, what do you think you can do to me. You never wanted TK so I'll just take him off your hands for good" Jade hissed.
"That's it!" Kari rushed at Jade, she swung her fist back then connected with the slightly taller girls face. Jade went down hard.
"Huh, I was expecting more from you" Kari spat out.
"Oww, I think I twisted my ankle, why'd you do that, I only wanted to be your friend! I'm sorry, please don't hurt me" Jade was cowering on the ground, her hands up defensively.
"What are you talking about, you deserved that and a whole lot more!" Kari pulled her fist back again, but this time before she could let loose, she feel a strong hand grasp her wrist.
"Kari! What the hell do you think you're doing?!?" Kari turned her head around only to be face to face with TK.
"TK! You're here!"
"Of course I'm here, and it looks like I'm here at the right time too. What the hell were you trying to do to Jade?!?" TK demanded to know.
"She…she…" Kari was taken back by her friends demeanor, he wasn't acting like her TK. "She insulted me, and she was saying bad things about you and.."
"Please! Do you expect me to believe that? You just want to take her out of the picture so you guys can keep Gennai's dictatorship in power."
"T-TK…You don't know…"
"Believe me, I know. I can't understand how you of all people would be sucked into Gennai's propaganda, but then again, I guess you're not the person I thought you were." This comment made something inside Kari snap.
"You're the one who's not acting the way you should! You just meet some girl then you do whatever SHE wants!"
"You don't know what you're talking about, stop trying to put this back on Jade!"
"She's brainwashed you! She sent that Digimon against us, and the ones before that!"
"Whatever! Jade would never do something like that! She's been with me all day, in fact, she's the one that told me to find you guys and quite frankly, I wish I didn't!" With that, TK turned his back to Kari.
"Jade? Are you alright? Can you walk?"
"I-I guess so, can you please help me up?" Jade whimpered to TK.
"Of course I will" TK gently pulled the girl up, Jade smirked at Kari and mouthed 'He's mine'. Kari glared back. "Oww, oww, my ankle, I don't think I can walk on it…"
"Don't worry" TK swept Jade up into his arm's "Patamon." With that, Patamon cried out,
"Patamon, armor Digivolve to Pegusmon." The horse-like digimon stood proudly in front of the three humans. TK, with Jade still in his arms, swung a leg over his Digimon's back.
"Look, I don't know what happened to you guys, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't know you." Pegusmon flapped it's great wings and flew off out of sight.
Kari slumped to her knees, staring at the now vacant spot. The remaining digidestined ran up to her.
"Kari! Kari are you okay? Kari? Speak to me please!" Tai switching into over-protective brother mode.
"…" Kari sighed.
"Kari, come on, speak to me!"
"That bitch is going down!" With that Kari stood up and stormed back towards Gennai's. The rest of the digidestined exchanged confused glances, Kari never swore, that Jade must of really got under her skin.
"Err, guys, we'd better catch her up"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wolfie: Hehehe, sorry, it's just that I've always wanted to see Kari swear.
Tai: Please, you should try living with her, she's not as innocent as she appears.
Wolfie: *Laughing* Oh come on Tai, she can't be that bad!
*Sounds of a chain saw starting up*
Kari: Ohh Wolfie….
Wolfie: *Wide eyed* Err…and that concludes this chapter of Destiny Deminished, have a nice day *Runs off*
Kari: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf….
Wolfie: (from far, far away) Dammit, that's the last time I let you hang around with AAUK mid-story!!!
Kari: I guess that leaves me in charge of this fic then…ALL RIGHT!!! As Jade walked off, a car fell on top of her, then a truck landed on the car, then a tank fell on the truck!
Wolfie: *Sweatdrops* That only works for us writers Kari, see like this.
Out of nowhere, two large burly men grabbed Kari and restrained her until the next chapter came out. *Two large burly men grab Kari and restrain her*
Wolfie: *BAM* and is about to BAP!!!
Kari: You don't own it.
Wolfie: Yes I do!
TK: No you don't!
Wolfie: I DO! I DO! I DO! I DO!!!!
Kari: Yes you keep telling yourself that.
Wolfie: I do and I will *pokes out tongue*
Kari: Oh really mature….

"What are you talking about, you deserved that and a whole lot more!" Kari pulled her fist back again, but this time before she could let loose, she feel a strong hand grasp her wrist.
"Kari! What the hell do you think you're doing?!?" Kari turned her head around only to be face to face with TK.
"TK! You're here!"
"Of course I'm here, and it looks like I'm here at the right time too. What the hell were you trying to do to Jade?!?" TK demanded to know.
"She…she…" Kari was taken back by her friends demeanor, he wasn't acting like her TK. "She insulted me, and she was saying bad things about you and.."
"Please! Do you expect me to believe that? You just want to take her out of the picture so you guys can keep Gennai's dictatorship in power."
"T-TK…You don't know…"
"Believe me, I know. I can't understand how you of all people would be sucked into Gennai's propaganda, but then again, I guess you're not the person I thought you were." This comment made something inside Kari snap.
"You're the one who's not acting the way you should! You just meet some girl then you do whatever SHE wants!"
"You don't know what you're talking about, stop trying to put this back on Jade!"
"She's brainwashed you! She sent that Digimon against us, and the ones before that!"
"Whatever! Jade would never do something like that! She's been with me all day, in fact, she's the one that told me to find you guys and quite frankly, I wish I didn't!" With that, TK turned his back to Kari.
"Jade? Are you alright? Can you walk?"
"I-I guess so, can you please help me up?" Jade whimpered to TK.
"Of course I will" TK gently pulled the girl up, Jade smirked at Kari and mouthed 'He's mine'. Kari glared back. "Oww, oww, my ankle, I don't think I can walk on it…"
"Don't worry" TK swept Jade up into his arm's "Patamon." With that, Patamon cried out,
"Patamon, armor Digivolve to Pegusmon." The horse-like digimon stood proudly in front of the three humans. TK, with Jade still in his arms, swung a leg over his Digimon's back.
"Look, I don't know what happened to you guys, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't know you." Pegusmon flapped it's great wings and flew off out of sight.
Kari slumped to her knees, staring at the now vacant spot. The remaining digidestined ran up to her.
"Kari! Kari are you okay? Kari? Speak to me please!" Tai switching into over-protective brother mode.
"…" Kari sighed.
"Kari, come on, speak to me!"
"That bitch is going down!" With that Kari stood up and stormed back towards Gennai's. The rest of the digidestined exchanged confused glances, Kari never swore, that Jade must of really got under her skin.
"Err, guys, we'd better catch her up"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wolfie: Hehehe, sorry, it's just that I've always wanted to see Kari swear.
Tai: Please, you should try living with her, she's not as innocent as she appears.
Wolfie: *Laughing* Oh come on Tai, she can't be that bad!
*Sounds of a chain saw starting up*
Kari: Ohh Wolfie….
Wolfie: *Wide eyed* Err…and that concludes this chapter of Destiny Deminished, have a nice day *Runs off*
Kari: Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, the big bad wolf….
Wolfie: (from far, far away) Dammit, that's the last time I let you hang around with AAUK mid-story!!!
Kari: I guess that leaves me in charge of this fic then…ALL RIGHT!!! As Jade walked off, a car fell on top of her, then a truck landed on the car, then a tank fell on the truck!
Wolfie: *Sweatdrops* That only works for us writers Kari, see like this.
Out of nowhere, two large burly men grabbed Kari and restrained her until the next chapter came out. *Two large burly men grab Kari and restrain her*
Wolfie: *BAM* and is about to BAP!!!
