Chapter 21
Unsettling Announcement
The two sat in silence until they heard a noise coming from T.K. room.
"Did you hear that?" Kari asked.
"Actually I did. For once it's not just you," T.K. told her. "It sounded like it came from my room," He said as he got up from the couch.
"Let's go check it out," And the two walked over to T.K.'s only to find that a digital gate had opened.
"How'd my computer turn on?" T.K. asked.
"I'm not sure. Hey where's Patamon?" Kari asked.
"Well he was in here sleeping. But I don't know where he could of gone," T.K. told her. "PATAMON! WHERE DID YOU GO?" T.K. shouted all over the house.
"I don't think that's going to help, us T.K." Kari told him. Then all of a sudden a face popped up on the screen.
"Who are you?" T.K. asked.
"For right now that is none of your concern," The figure told them.
"And why is that?" Kari asked.
"Never mind that. I need your help," He started.
"What kind of help? Because if you need mental help, try a psychiatrist," T.K. told him.
"WILL YOU BE QUIET!" He screamed. "That's better."
"What do you want with us?" T.K. asked.
"If you would shut up then I would be able to tell you! Thank you. As I was starting to say, The Digital world is in grave danger, and it needs your help," He started again.
"Yea, we know. But inside information told us that the people doing this are not digimon or digidestened. They have magical powers," Kari informed him.
"I know. That's why you need help from people that have magical powers," He replied.
"We know a few of them. But how are we supposed to get them into the digiworld?" T.K. asked.
"I haven't figured that part out yet. But don't worry I'm working on it," He informed them.
"What a minute. Are you a digimon? Or a digidestened?" Kari asked.
"Neither. I am a sorcerer. But I do not have the power to help," He told them.
"But how did you get into the digiworld?" T.K. asked.
"I have no idea. All I know is that I was somehow brought here by somebody named Gennai," He answered.
"He did. Why haven't we heard this before? Izzy still gets a great deal of e-mails from him. Even if most of them are chain letters," T.K. asked.
"I'm not sure. Well is their anything you can do to help us fight these magicians?" Kari asked.
"Not at the moment. But trust me, I will do every thing I can to help get rid of these guys. I have to run, they have probably figured out where I am. Must hide. I will get in touch with you as soon as I hear any news," He told them.
"Thanks, but if you can't get to us then find one of our digimon," Kari told him.
"Alright, I'll do that. Good bye," He said and then the screen went black.
"This is weird. Now we have two problems. The crisis in the digiworld and the whole thing with Ken again," TK said to Kari as he turned around to face her.
"That's right. And I don't know what could have taken him over this time. I mean we got rid of the dark spore didn't we?" Kari asked.
"Not all of it Kari," TK told her. "We couldn't get it all out of him."
"This is going to be difficult," Kari said face faulting.
"Well perhaps you should get home. Tai will worry. He always does. Remember that one time when you were like 5 minutes late and he freaked out on you," TK said laughing a little.
"Yea, not to mention the lecture I got when I spent the night here," She said voice getting quieter as she finished. "I'm really sorry I ruined our date back then. I didn't mean to!" She shouted the last part.
"Kari!" She looked up at him. "I don't want to ever hear you say that again!" He shouted at her.
"But TK!" She shouted back.
"No buts Kari. You didn't do anything to ruin our date. In fact it couldn't have turned out better. We spent the night in each other arms," TK told her, voice going from a yell to being as quiet as a mouse.
"TK" She said as she through her arms around him in a tight hug. After a minute of shock he hugged back. Somewhat lifting her off the ground.
"I'll walk you home," TK said putting her back on the ground. But she wouldn't let go. "Kari? Do I have to carry you there?"
"Only if you want too, OH!" She said as he lifter her off the ground this time fully in his arms. She nuzzled her head in the nook of his neck, and purred gently. "I love you TK," She told him.
"I love you too," He whispered in her ear. They headed to the door when Kari told him.
"You can out me down. I can walk you know?"
"I know," He said as he out her feet back on the ground. It was raining out side so TK went to get an umbrella from the closet and then they were off. (See didn't Li tell you it was going to rain?) Their walk slowly came to a stop when they saw a figure lying on the ground in the distance. Of course Kari runs to help the person, despite all the cries from TK. As they got closer they could tell that it was Jordan, crying loudly. They walked up to her quietly not wanting to frighten her. Jordan heard a twig snap and her head popped up.
"Who's there?" She asked.
"It's TK and Kari Jordan. Why are you crying?" Kari asked.
"It's Ken. There's something wrong with him. I went to see him today like I promised I would. I saw him jumping out of a window on the third floor. I ran over to him only to find not a single scratch on him. I called out his name and he just yelled at me and told me not to call him that, but to call him the Digimon Emperor. I don't know what's wrong with him. But every body seems to be running away from me," Jordan explained still sobbing. Kari and TK exchanged glances and then moved forward.
"Jordan, I think it's time that we told you something," Kari started. Jordan looked up.
"You see, there is more then one world out there. There's this one and then the Digital world. Ken was implanted with something called a dark spore witch made evil. He was a genius and excellent at sports but that was just to lure him into there plan. It took him a while to figure out that he was not being himself and to snapped out of it. But he did. And he turned into the Ken we know now," TK explained.
"I see. So you're saying that Ken was some sort of a monster?!" She shouted.
"In a way yes. And in another way no," Kari told her.
"This is all so confusing. My head hurts. Just leave me alone," Jordan told them as she put her head back into her hands.
"We're not going to leave you alone like this. Come on we'll take you home," TK said giving her his hand to get up.
"IT WON'T MATTER IF I GO HOME!" She yelled. "Victoria will just kick me out. Like she did last night," Jordan told them.
"Why did she do that?" Asked Kari.
"Because your brother was over and she didn't think I was telling the truth when I said I would stay in my room. So she grabbed me from the kitchen made sure I didn't have my keys on me and pushed me out the door and told me not to come back that night. And then she closed and locked the door," Jordan explained again.
"That's awful. Does she do this often?" Kari asked.
"No, just when she has a friend over. Or to be more specific a guy," She told them getting off of the ground.
"Well do you want to come to my place?" Kari asks again.
"No thanks I think I'll just walk for a bit. Or until I think Victoria's friend will be gone," Jordan told them and walked off.
"That's so sad TK, I wish we could help her more," Kari told him.
"Me too. But now we know how bad the situation with Ken is," TK said looking down at Kari.
"Yea. But we have to figure out how to help him," Kari tells TK.
