Chapter Twelve

      "Whoah!" the destined yelled as they landed in a pile, Matt groaned

and climbed out of the pile.

      "Freaky," Yolei said with a shiver, Matt could only agree. This world of

nightmares was, well a place of nightmares.

      "Everyone okay?" Tai asked once they were all up, the destined

nodded while the digimon looked around nervously at the area around them.

      "Okay, which way now?" Davis asked, Matt frowned and looked

around.

      "Probably there," Izzy said pointing in the direction that might of been

north, everyone blinked.

      "Why that way?" Matt asked, Izzy sighed and pointed his digivice in

that direction and the device beeped rapidly.

      "Well my digivice is detecting TKs D-3 there, also the evil looking

castle over there," Izzy pointed out, everyone else now sweatdropped finally

noticing the castle.

      "Good idea, well lets go," Matt said, the others nodded and with serious

faces they all headed to the big scary castle of nightmares [sorry couldn't

resist].

***

      Everything felt right for once in his life, sure his body was a mess and

any second now he and his counter part could die. But as soon as his skin

touched TK he felt a touch of completeness, almost like when there souls had

merged.

      "Tk, this is the final battle isn't it," he said softly, TK nodded sending

golden locks into his sapphier eyes.

      "Yeah it is Ash, its an end but also a beginning," TK whispered with a

sad smile, carefully Tk helped him up so they could face Akuma togeather.

      "Are you two done your little heart to heart yet, I'd like to destroy

you now," Akuma said sarcasticly, Tk and Ash looked at each other and but

couldn't help but giggle slightly. Here in the darkest hour they were

togeather for once, Ash leaned weakly against Tk ready to fight for there

lives and so much more.

      "Were ready, but can you defeat us with our powers as one?" TK asked

his voice calm, Ash knew that they should both be terrified but he felt very

calm for some reason.

      "Hah, as if children as weak as you could defeat me," Akuma scoffed,

Ash sqeezed Tks hand gently knowing what there unspoken choice was.

      "Maby you are not looking close enough, we are more then children....

we are something more," Ash whispered, even though it was hardly audible

Akuma heard it.

      Akuma was about to restort when the door to the room suddenly

slammed open, startled the three occupents of the room looked at it and

blinked surprised.

      "Matt?" Tk questioned, standing there was all the destined and there

digimon partners... including patamon.

***

      "Matt?" a surprised voice asked, Matt quickly looked in that direction.

      "TK!" Matt called as soon as he spotted his brother, his eyes widened

in shock as he saw the flesh and blood version of Ash. His brothers

dimensional counterpart was not in good shape, from the look of it he looked

like he had been tortured.

TBC

Well that was a... er interesting chapter, before you ask there will be a much

more interesting merge coming in a few chapters. By the way I would love

fanart for the fic, just leave a link to your art in the review section.

Chapter Thirteen

      Tk wanted to cry and run to his brother, he wanted to hug his sibling

and never let go. But as he stood there supporting his counterpart he knew

that it could never be, that senario would never come to be... ever.

      "You shouldn't of come," Tk said sadly, the destined and and the

digimon looked hurt and shocked.

      "What do you mean, we came to save you?" Patamon asked green eyes

filled with hurt, he flew toward sthe blond child of hope... only to be

smashed into a wall by Akuma.

      "What he means, is that coming here you just got your death warrent

signed by the grim reaper," Akuma laughed, Tk winced for this laugh was

very high pitched and hurt his ears.

      "I thought he knew how to laugh evilly, he was doing it before... now

he sounds like a tranvestite opperation gone wrong," Ash said with a smirk,

Tk couldn't help but sniker. Akuma hearing this glowered at them angerly,

with his eyes Tk motioned for the destined to leave while they had a chance.

***

      Patamon felt hurt and betrayal at the way Tk was acting, why wasn't

his partner letting him help. What more he felt jealousy of TKs counterpart,

it seemed that Tk was closer to the amber eyed boy them himself.

      'Leave, why is he trying to get up to leave?' Patamon thought

confused, he could tell that was what TK wanted them to do but none of

them would abandon there friend... or Ash to Akuma.

***

      (They aren't leaving) Tk heard in his mind, physically so close to Ash

it was almost like one of his own thoughts.

      I know, what can we do to get them to leave. I don't want them to die

or get hurt because of us, this is our battle TK said, he felt Ashs mind race a

million miles an hour.

      (Then we'll send them away) Ash suggested, TK sent his confusion to

Ash.

      How? he asked, Ash smirked into his mind.

      (Think about it, we are not merged but we are close enough to use our

powers togeather. Concentrating we can use your D-3 to send them outside,

that should give us enough time to finish this) Ash said and Tk nodded [in

his mind that is], it would have to do.

***

      "I'm sorry, but this isn't your battle," Tk said suddenluy, Karis eyes

widened as she heard the childs of hopes words and she knew that he was

about to do something they would hate.

      "TK!" she called and the world flashed white, to her shock once she

could see she found the others and herself many miles away from the

castle... and worst of all she knew that they wouldn't get back in time.

***

      Akuma looked at the two children he vowed to destroy, he didn't

know where they had gotten the power to teleport the others away. Inside

he felt a small sprk of true fear for himself, but being evil as he was he soon

estinguised it and thought it as nothing.

      "What are you?' he asked frowing, he had a feeling that there was

suddenly something different about his vows.

      "Balance," the two said in chorus, the world around the two children

flashed silver and gold blinding him.

***

      Patamon gasped as he felt something snap and he knew what it was,

what had bound him to TK was gone now and that could only mean one

thing... something terrible must of happened to TK.

TBC

NO hints on what is about to happen [sticks out tounge], your just going to

have to read on. Anyway throuout the fic I've gotten rave rewiews, I'm so

glad this fic is doing so well.

Chapter Fourteen

      One moment Ash was in that awful place with Akuma and TK, but the

next instant he found himself in a place of light and energy.

      Energy swathed in body and he felt peace over come him and fears

washed away, he gasped as it rushed through his abused body filling his

every pore and healing his body... even years old scars.

      He danced in that energy as it tore his raggid and blood torn and

splatted clothing away, he danced there naked feeling himself becoming

complete... becoming complete for once in his existance.

      'This place, it seems familliar... like I've been here before' Ash thought

his amber eyes thoughtful, but such thoughts he would put away till later

and he had time.

***

      Tk floated in a place of energy, after an exausting time and journey he

felt refreshed in every cell. He gasped as the energy rushed though his body

fixing everything that was wrong with it, even things that wouldn't of

happened till years to come.

      It swathed over his body giving him peace and stilling his soul, it

washed away al his fears.

      His clothing was also torn away from his body, it left him naked in the

energy yet he felt no fear from it.

      Tk danced on in the nergy feeling himself geeting closer to

completeness, but he couldn't shake the feeling that this place was familliar.

***

      Both parts of one soul floated to a mirror like surface, looking in it

they saw not there own face but that of there counterpart.

      They took a deep breath knowing that this was the final step, after

this there was now going back. Then decided they rushed forward they

rushed as one into the surface, it rippled around them as they dissapeared

meeting in it center.

***

      Matt gasped as something seemed to sqeeze his heart, he didn't know

why but he knew right then that his brother was gone.

      He was right of course, but also wrong in some ways.

***

      Akuma gasped as the light suddeny vanished, he blinked his crimson

eyes till he finally could see again.

      "This can't be right?" he told himself confused, standing there where

the two boys had stood was a new child.

      "Wrong, all is in balance and the time to meet your doom in here," the

child said in a soft voice, it made Akuma shiver in disgust for it was the kind

of voice you heard in good dreams.

      The boy standing there looked the same age as Ash and Tk but was

slightly taller, he had a slim heart shaped fafe and startling purple eyes in a

shade he hadn't seen before. The main part of his hair was a golden blond

that fell gently to his chim, his thick bangs that fell over his eyes messily

were an abony black.

      He was very slim and had skin that looked slightly tanned, he wore a

purple silk shirt and silk pants of some unknown style, purplelish black

ankle high boots were on his feet. On slim hands were light purple fingerless

elbow length gloves.

      "It was said that only Tk and Ash could defeat you, with there powers

once togeather so you sought them out. Yet that it only half the truth, both

were half of one soul... and togeather the balance each other and I am born,"

the boy said, he smirked and Akuma felt fer flicker inside him.

      "You'll still die," he roared and leapt forward to rip and gore the boy

apart, the boy smirked and the air around him glowed faintly.

      "Its your funeral, if only you had left them alone," he said slightly

sadly, yet Akuma had been warned.

TBC

Whoah, who is this new dude and what happened to Tk and Ash [come on

you can figure it out]. Anyway only a few more chapters to go, also if all goes

well with rewiews there will be a sequal and it will be crossed with yet

another series... yahoo.
