The Struggle: Chapter 6
A/N: Sorry about the age thing, I kinda forgot with all these sick and twisted ideas running through my head. The next part is going to be about Arukenimon and Blackwargreymon, and then the last one, is going to be Oikawa and Malomyotismon.

Emperor: I can't believe I'm gone now.

Wormmon: Don't let Yolei read this chapter.
heath 999: No kidding, please read and review.

Meghan's families Apartment: An hour later
~Meghan's POV~
I look at my parent's faces, studying them after telling them everything that happened.
I see their emotions running across their face: anger, sadness, and maybe a little understanding and sympathy for Ken.
"We'd better get you to the hospital to have them check you for malnutrition, and your wounds." dad finally says, starting to get up.
"Will you allow me to go to the Digital World after all this happening?" I ask, dreading the worse.
"Can we really stop you?" is the answer from mom with a smile on her face.
I chuckle, "not really."
"Then we can't stop you, but please be more careful. We don't want to lose you again."
"With the lot I work with, it'll be hard, but I'll try. Lets go to the hospital."

Kari's and Tai's Apartment: The next day
~Tai's POV~
She's changed.
She's gotten taller, about five four, and the same age as I am, from her e- mails, fifteen years old. Her hair is about the same length, she's wearing light green dress pants, and a light green t-shirt, and even despite the imprisonment she just told us about, she still has a deep tan.
I don't know whether to kill Ken or forgive him for what he did to her.
She has scars that will be with her the rest of her life.
She is now on a health plan that will last her at least a few months, because he nearly starved her to death.
Yet, she still forgives him.

Same Place: Same time
~Meghan's POV~
"How did you find the armor digiegg?" I ask, looking at the other digidestined, old and new, somehow Mimi managed to get here from America, probably by digiport.
"Our digivices can find armor digieggs, and we tracked the signal to a cave, and to our surprise, T.K. was able to pick it up, because usually only a person who shows that trait can pick it up." Kari explains.
"I think that Ken shouldn't be trusted, look at what he did to Meghan, and the rest of the digital world." says the boy named Cody angrily.
"People make mistakes, though, and he's changed. He wouldn't have deactivated the rings and spirals if he didn't." Davis counters.
"I think that we should trust him, Davis is right people do change under the right circumstances." T.K. says.
"Thanks, T.Q." Davis replies.
I hear the arguments rise from all the digidestined, all from the old wanting Ken to join, except Tai, and Matt. The new having split sides about it, Kari, T.K., and Davis wanting him to join, Cody against it.
Yolei is in the middle of the argument, wanting to give more time before she decides.
I clear my throat, and everyone turns to me: "I think that we should let him join the group."
There is shocked silence as the others absorb the words.
"WHAT?! WHY?!" is the first words that explode out of Cody's mouth. "After all that monster did to you, you want to forgive him?"
"One event, one piece of evidence, one incident, can change your life. Permanently. People make mistakes, what you have to do is forgive them for those mistakes and then move on. Do you think that Gatomon and even me would be here talking to you about this if the older digidestined didn't forgive us? You can't live in the past and hold grudges on people for their actions, you have to move on, never forget what happened, but move on also, and forgive." I say.
"Wow, that must have been a heck of a four years there, Meghan." Izzy comments after my speech.
"I've been thinking about this ever since I joined you guys to fight Myotismon, Izzy." I say with a sigh. "I have to go now, my parents are probably worried about me."
Just as I'm leaving, I hear Davis ask: "What did she mean by all that?"

Odaiba Park: Hours later
I walk along the pathway, needing the exercise to keep my appetite up.
I stop when I see a familiar figure sitting near the lake, looking at the water.
Ken.
I walk slowly towards him, and sit next to him.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" I ask, looking at the lakes surface.
He looks at me, startled, "yes, it is."
"You know, you aren't the first person to turn evil, and destroy the digidestined." I say honestly to him.
"I'm probably the only one to torture living creatures, and try to take over the digital world, not to mention what I did to you." he replies, looking to see that the sling is off, but it shows even more the starved state that I'm in.
"People make mistakes, I should be the one who knows that the most." I counter.
"Yeah, but you were brainwashed, I did it for no reason at all."
"You thought it was a game, that's understandable."
"Tell that to the others."
"The others will forgive you in time, like they forgave me, no matter how many times you apologize, the only way to show that you're sorry is to make up for your mistakes. Actions speak louder than words. Also, the digidestined might not offer their friendship right now, but they might forgive you, and sometimes that's even better than friendship." I say.
There's silence now, as we watch the sunset together.
"It's beautiful, way different than in the digital world." I comment after a moment of silence.
"There's something more beautiful than the sunset right now," Ken says, turning to me.
"Oh?" I say with a blush.
"I was wondering, well if you would like to watch the sunset here again with me, sometime." he says, blushing even more than me.
I smile, "I would like that."
"Thanks, I have to go now, I'll keep your words in mind, Meghan." he says, turning to the exit of the park.
I watch him leave; having a feeling that everything is going to be fine with him now.
TBC.

A/N: I know, some people might be unhappy about the choice, but it was either that, or Tai, and no offense to Tai lovers, but I thought this would go better with the plot. Next time: Tai romance. Also about T.K. being able to pick up the digiegg, I think he got that trait when he chased Kari to the dark ocean that was why he could pick it up. Please read and review.
