Last chapter was slightly funny with the fairtale stuff, ayway this chapter
will be more serious (sniker) well hopefully it will.
Pain, pain connects you to the world over your life. Love is also
connected to pain in some ways, pain can also bring others closer together.

Chapter Nine
"Finally," Tk said with a relieved sigh, he had finally escaped from that
crazy fairytale world.... after he saved Ash he would yell at him for sending
him there.
"Umm.... okay, what now?" he asked himself looking around, he had
found a computer and used the digiport.... but he definately wasn't in the
digital world.
"Uhhh!" he yellled suddenly and fell to his knees, pain flared through
him. He hugged himself not understanding why he hurt, finally it stopped.
Slowly his breathing returned to normal, he looked around yet saw nothing.
Tk looked at his hands and gasped, for a few seconds he had seen
blood on his hands... but it wasn't there now.
"Ash?" he questioned, he had a terrible feeling that what he had felt
was Ashs pain and his blood.
(My body is unconcious.... I'm kind of drifting at the moment, but I
don't know how were talking again) a voice whispered in his mind, he knew
it belonged to Ash but it was very faint and sounded tired.
What happened Ash, why did I feel pain all of a sudden and see
blood on my hands? TK asked, the feeling of Ash faded in and out for a few
seconds before the contact strethened.
(The dark creature that attacked you in called Akuma and hes
captured me, hes been torturing me.... because I saved you somehow. I don't
know why you felt my pain when our minds touched or saw the blood from
my wounds, hopefully it won't happen again) Ash told him, to TKs relief
Ashs telepathic voice on there link was becoming stronger.
Akuma, interesting name. By the way, did you realize you sent me to
a weird fairytale world when you saved me? he asked, he felt his
counterparts surprise.
(No I didn't, wow... I had no idea I could do that) Ash said with
surprise, TK shrugged knowing Ash would feel it.
Anyway enough chit chat, is there anyway for me to get to your body
so i can save you? he asked his dark haired counter part, he could feel Ashs
thoughts racing.
(I can only feel one way to get to where I am, but to do that your
actually going to have to go to the dark ocean world.... the barriers between
realities are thinner there) Ash told him, TK sweatdropped.
That could be a problem Ash, I have no idea where I am least of all
how to get to the dark ocean world TK said, he felt Ash thinking again.
(TK I have an idea, but I need to take over your body for a moment)
Ash said, Tk facefaulted.
Take over my body, how is that even possible... and what if you get
stuck in my body? TK asked feeling scared, he could feel Ashs nervousness
also.
(Its a theory of mine, in your body i can direct your digivice... it would
take too many hours to explain how to do this) Ash told him, TK then
thought of something.
What about your body? he asked, he felt slight fear from Ash.
(It will be about six to ten hours till my body recovers enough to wake
up, not even Akuma could wake my body up during that time) Ash told him,
TK bit his lip thoughtfully.
Okay lets do this Ash, but this kind of freaks me out he told
truthfully, Ash was silent also.
(It scares me too TK, but we can't waste time.... if you don't hurry I'll
die if Akuma decides to torture me again) Ash admitted and TK gasped, he
could not let his best friend die in the hands {did the monser have hands,
hed ask later} of a monster.
Okay lets do it, do your thing Ash Tk said gathering his courage, and
the next thing he knew Ash leapt into his body.
***
TK/Ash opened eyes a blue-amber blending into a deep purple color,
they were filled with the power of two souls joined as one.
"Lets begin," the boy said, he didn't sound like either counterpart
anymore. His voice was deeper and seemed to hold knowledge and power, he
held up TKs D-3 and focused that power into the device a pacific pattern
activating in its metal body.
"Activate," TK/Ash said calmly, his eyes opened slightly in surprise
when a dark portal opened in front of him. He nodded and stepped though,
the portal closed behind him.
***
TK gasped and fell to the ground as Ashs soul left his body, there souls
had merged slightly for that brief time. They had been something more,
there had been great knowledge and power of both there lifetimes.
"What was that, I thought you would just borrow my body.. that was
unexpected," TK said outloud, he knew that Ash could still hear him.
"I don't know TK... it was unexpected, but until we truely understand
what just happened we shouldn't do it again," a voice said, startled he looked
up to see a ghost like image of Ash... thankfully Ash had made his image not
to show his real condition.
"Good idea, and Ash welcome to the dark world," TK said, Ash nodded.
TBC
Interesting... at least i hoped so. Anyway next chapter is with the rest of the
destined, in later chapters I will have Ash and TK merge souls again.

Chapter Ten
Matt was seriously worried... actually that was an understatement,
something had happened to his little brother and his mother would kill him
when she found out.
'TK, wherever you are I'll come and save you' he thought with a
frown, around him were the other destined and there partners. At the
moment they were all asking Patamon questions trying to find out what
happened, there wasn't much the rookie digimon could tell them.
"I really don't know what woke me, one moment I was asleep and
then... something woke me and it wasn't TK screaming. There was this black
mist thing, i shot an attack at it to protect TK who was terrified... but it didn't
affect it and the next thing I knew was Matt shaking me awake," Patamon
said tears in his emerald green eyes, Matt gave Patamon a hug to comfort
him.
"Its not much to go on, but we have to save TK... that Black Mist
Patamon told us about has taken TK," Matt said, the others nodded knowing
that the first place they would check would be the digital world.
"Before you all rush off to the digital world wait a nano, I just got an
email from Gennai," Izzy said, everyone stopped what they were doing and
turned to find out what Gennai had to say.
"Well, show us the email," Matt said impatiently, Izzy muttered about
impatient people and turned his lap top computer so that everyone could see
it.
Greetings it is Gennai
As you all know something has happened to the holder of hope, all I
can say is that he is safe for the moment. The creature that tried to capture
him is a creature named Akuma from the world of nightmares, thankfully
Tks friend was able to send him to a safer place where Akuma was unable to
get him.
Before you ask I have no firm location of where TK is at the moment,
all I can say is that he is on his way to the world of nightmares to save his
dimensional counterpart who Akuma has already captured.
I have sent information to Izzy on how to modify your digivices to
enter the world of nightmares, that way you can save TK and also save his
dimensional counterpart.
Goodluck to you all
Gennai
There was silence as they finished reading the email. each of them
were confused on what they had to do. Matt was also nervouse of where
they would have to go, the world of Nightmares didn't sound like a nice place
at all.
'Tk, what kind of mess are you in now' Matt thought with a sigh, he
rubbed his temples in frustration and hoped with all his heart that TK would
be safe till he got there.
***
TK sighed as he leaned against a building in exaustion, he was still in
the world of darkness but he was taking a break before he entered the
dimension Ash was in.
Leaning against the same wall ghostlike was Ash, his counterpart was
frowning slightly probably thinking of that strange merge of souls.
"Ash.. " he said and he trailed off, Ash looked at him.
"Yeak TK?" Ash asked, Tk sighed and covered his eyes with his hands.
"Why do you think our lives are so messed up, you with your family
and so called friends and mine with my so called destiny as the child of
hope?" he asked, something about both of there lives had bothered him.
"I don't know TK, but i have a feeling its because of us... but not really
us," Ash said with a deeper frown, TK looked at Ash confused.
"What do you mean?" TK asked, Ash bit down slightly on his bottom
lip before answering.
"I remember in the soul merge how complete I felt for once in my life
and I know we both felt it, I realized that we are more then counterparts...
we have two halves of one soul. We are unbalanced so our lives are more
strange then anyone else we know, somehow we must balance our lives... if
we don't everything could get so much worse," Ash said with a sigh, Tk
frowned knowing how bad Ashs life was... he didn't want to think how much
worse it would get.
"How can we fix our lives Ash, how can we fix it so we can be happy?"
Tk asked sadly tears sliding down his face, Ash looked at the black, white
and grey world around them sadly.
"I don't know my friend... I just don't know," Ash whispered, Ash then
faded from sight leaving TK alone excet for the feeling of Ash in the back of
his mind.
***
Ash was floating in the abyss, actually the place he was in was a place
between dimensions where he could rest sometimes... a place no one else
could reach.
The merging of souls had tired him more then he would admit to TK,
in truth he was a soul outside his body.... even when he was ghostlike to
everyone else.
He cried silently, here he let out his repressed grief.... the part of him
that screamed for love and affection. He knew that TK knew about his pain,
there wasn't anything his counterpart really didn't know about.
'TK is so nice letting me let out my grief alone, he knows how I cry...
but everyone needs some privacy now and then' Ash thought sadly, he
closed his eyes ignoring the pulling sensation that was trying to pull him
back to his body.
'I felt so complete when our souls merged into one for that brief
moment, I wonder if we will ever have a chance to merge again' Ash thought
with a frown, he sighed and let himself gather more energy so that he would
be able to help TK enter the dimension of nightmares.
***
Akuma fumed, the child of hope was safe out of his reach and the
other child who he had captured was unconcious and he wasn't even able to
have the glee of him screaming in pain.
'Wait a minute, if one of the two brats is here that means that The
child of hope will be on his way to save his counter part' Akuma thought
with glee, he then began to laugh evilly as he began to plan what he would
do to TK.
TBC
Well that was a strange chapter, anyway next chapter yet another soul
merge and the confrontation against Akuma begins.

Chapter Eleven
Tk gave a small yawn startling himself, he had finally regained his
strength from the merge and traveling between dimensions. Thankfully as
he rested in the dark world nothing had attacked him, but he knew... that
this was a brief respite for the danger to come.
"Are you ready?" a voice, not feeling startled he turned to see the
ghostlike form of Ash. He nodded, Tk then took a deep breth knowing that
they would have to merge slightly again.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Tk said with a sigh, Ashs form wavered and
vanished as his counterpart focused his will.
(Then let it begin) Tk heard in his mind, TK closed his eyes knowing
that there was no true way to be ready for an experience like this.
***
Once again blue-amber eyes blended into a deep purple color, they
held determination for the task ahead. TK-Ash took a deep breath holding
the green coded D-3 into the air, the screen of the device began to glow also
a purple color. The world flashed a rainbow of colors all coming from that
screen, all that can be seen are those strange eyes.
"In the beginning all was in balance," the boy said his voice musical
and soft to the ears, it was the kind of voice one heard in dreams everyone
always wanted to have.
"Balance shall once again be regained," TK-Ash wispered and he
smiled, all the light became white and flashed violently.
Silence once again filled the dark world, the creatures there of
darkness shivered hearing those last words of Tk-Ash. In the spot he had
stood no trace of them could be found, yet strangely... where TK had rested
for just awhile a small plant bloomed sending true color in this colorless
world.
***
Akuma roared in anger as he felt a portal open in his world, and the
energy was laced with the life force of the child of hope. He glared at the
dark ball of energy that was the cage for Ash, soon Tk would also be trapped
in there and he could destroy them both at his pleasure.
"Your counterpart is here child, and he came for you... you will be
responsible for his downfall," Akuma laughed evilly, he loved torturing his
captived mentally and physically. He frowned getting no reply knowing that
Ash still hadn't woken up from his earlier physical tortures, he shrugged and
began to wait for TK to show up.
***
Tk shivered as he looked around, when he had arrived in this
nightmare dimension he and Ash had demerged. He felt fear of what he was
to face and wished he had Patamon... even if his digimon would do no good,
Ash had shown him what Akuma planned to do to him.
Ash he thought, he could only feel Ash weakly now.
(I'm being pulled back to my body to powerfully now Tk, the merge
used a lot of my energy so I have to return... please be careful when you get
to Akuma) Ash said sadly, for a brief second TK felt as if Ash had hugged
him... then Ash was totally gone.
I'll be careful he answered, but he knew Ash never heard him.
Tk gasped as a huge building made of darkness came into view, he
had a gut feeling that Ash was kept there... and Akuma waited for him.
'Now or never, if i don't Ash will die and Akuma will keep on coming
after me.... I can't let him die' TK thought tears in his sapphier eyes, he took
a deep breath and walked to the building which he got closer and closer to.
"Wait for me my friend, somehow we will both defeat this darkness
and make everything as it should be," TK wispered, with even more
determination he entered the building and darkness surrounded him.
***
TK gave a short yell as his body was suddenly slammed across the
room by some unknown force, he had just entered a large room that seemed
empty when this happened. He grunted painfully as he crashed into a dark
wall, he then shivered feeling the evil radiating from that wall.
"Looks like little hope has decided to join the party," a voice laughed
and the voice sent fear through his body, he gasped as darkness in this room
formed into an undescribable monster with gleaming red eyes (you can
make up what he looks like for yourself okay).
"Akuma give Ash back, give me my friend back," TK demanded,
Akuma gave a laugh grating to his ears.
"Why not, it will be fun to see how you fight together," Akuma
sneered with dark humor, a huge dark orb appeared above TK and
decinigrated.
"Ash!" TK cried as his friend fell from the air, Ash grunted painfully as
TK caught him. For a few seconds he felt shock that he could actually truly
touch his digital counterpart but put that feeling away for later, he could see
Ash was terribly hurt and that was bad in the battle ahead.
"Don't worry so much Tk," a voice said weakly, TK blinked startled
realizing that it was Ash speaking. He looked down to find himself looking
into those strange amber eyes, he found himself smiling for some unknown
reason.
"Everything will be as it should be," TK wispered echoing the words
from when they had been merged, and then he knew what they had to do...
both of them knew.
