Fading Hope

"TK! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" TK's mother called from the kitchen. She opened the door to see he was still asleep. "Come on TK," she said worriedly. TK slowly rose form his pillow and groaned. "What's wrong? Does your arm hurt?"

"A little." he said weakly. He was lying. His arm was literally killing him with pain, and he felt like he had just woken up from drinking 10 pints of lager.

"Do you want the day off?" she asked the blond.

"Yeah, I guess." TK said, falling back on his pillow again.

"OK then, just get some rest." his mother said, closing the door behind her. TK lay there for a minute thinking. Finally he picked up his D- Terminal and typed in a message to Kari:

Kari,

Sorry, but I'm not coming to school today. You can come round after school if you want. Tell the others that my arm's hurting a little but other then that I'm fine.

TK

P.S. By the way, don't let Davis sit next to you again!

After sending the e-mail, TK lay on his back for a few minutes more, waiting for his mum to leave the apartment. Finally, he heard the door opening and he sat up slightly.

"TK! I'M GOING NOW!" she called from the front door. "SEE YOU AT LUNCH!"

The door shut and TK got out of bed and changed into his usual clothes. 'Time to find out what he wants with me.' he thought as he put his shoes on. He went to the computer in his room.

"Digi-port open." he said looking very determined, and he was pulled through the digital gate.

* * *

He arrived in the Digital World roughly a few seconds after he opened the gate. He looked around at his surroundings. He was in a circular clearing in the middle of a forest. He couldn't see anything else. After visually searching the clearing, he decided to speak.

"PSYMON! WHERE ARE YOU?" he cried out into the forest. Then, infront of him, the familiar purple-clad digimon appeared before him.

"You're smarter than I thought, Takaishi." the digimon sneered to the blond. "You finally figured out that I have a little errand for you." TK looked confused.

"What you do you mean by 'errand'?" he asked curiously. The digimon smirked.

"You'll find out right now."

"Huh?" TK was about to ask what he was on about, but Psymon held out his right hand infront of TK. The blond tiredly closed his eyes, and his head hung limp on his shoulders. Psymon quietly said a few words to blond's trance-like face.

"Despair of Darkness, aid me in my quest for domination, you will hold the power required to assist me."

TK slowly opened his eyes. Normally his eyes would be happy and playful, always ready for more adventure. But now, they looked as cold as ice, full of vengeance, hatred and despair. He looked up at Psymon.

"Yeah?" he asked cockily. "You want some'in'?"

"I see that you really are the Child of Despair." Psymon said, looking down at the once Child of Hope. TK tilted his head lazily, still looking cockily at the digimon.

"Yeah, that's me," he said lazily. "So waddaya want?"

"Let's just call it.a favour." He said, smirking at the blond. "But you will need this first." he held out something that looked like a pendant. TK smirked at this. It was a tag with a crest in it. The crest looked like the Crest of Hope, but instead it was upside-down and the spikes were pointing inwards. "This, my friend, is the Crest of Despair."

He handed the crest to TK, who studied it thoughtfully.

"If I'm to use this, then I do need my digimon." the blond said, dangling the crest a few inches from his face.

"Very well then." Psymon said while also looking at the crest. He looked up and called. "Come Devimon! Meet our new member!" The fallen-angel digimon appeared in the sky. TK looked up from his new crest.

"Devimon." he said to the digimon. "We have work to do."

* * *

Kari, Alysha, Davis and Ken headed to the computer room after school had finished. Kari had told all the other digidestined what TK had told her. They entered the classroom and met up with Yolei, Cody and Gabby.

"You ready to go to the Digital World?" Yolei asked once they had stopped by the computer.

"Yeah," Kari said determinedly. "We have to get Patamon back for TK, and it's all Psymon's fault that this has happened."

"Yeah, I'm with Kari!" Davis said enthusiastically. "Let's go!" Before he could open the digi-port, Tai appeared the doorway and ran up to Kari.

"Kari, have you seen TK today?" he asked, out of breath from running.

"No, I thought he wasn't feeling well." the brunette replied.

"Well, his mom just came to school to see if he was here, 'cause when she came home for lunch break he was gone!"

"What?" Kari said, looking shocked. Alysha was thinking about the situation.

"There's only one place he can be if he wasn't at home or at school." the blonde said, realising where he was.

"Where then?" Kari asked hastily.

"The Digital World." Tai looked confused.

"How did you figure that out?" he asked curiously. Alysha looked at the 16 year old.

"Well where else would he be if he wasn't at home and isn't at school?"

"Good point." Tai said, getting what Alysha was saying.

"Well, now we now where he is, why don't we find him?" Davis asked impatiently.

"I'm all for that!" Gabby said happily.

"Right, let's go!" the goggle-head said. "Digi-port open!" With that they were pulled through the port.

* * *

They arrived in the Digital World and immediately started looking for TK.

"TK! WHERE ARE YOU?" Kari cried out into the forest they arrived in.

"YEAH DUDE, WHERE'D YA GO?" Davis called out. This noisy kind of searching continued until they all had headaches and realised that they were scaring some of the digimon, so they decided just to walk around for a bit to see if they could find him.

Finally, they arrived in a clearing, and Kari couldn't keep quiet any longer.

"TK! PLEASE, THIS ISN'T FUNNY ANY MORE!" she called out, almost crying.

"Looking for me?" a voice said somewhere from one of the edges of the clearing. A few seconds later, a familiar looking figure walked out infront of them from the forest.

"TK!" Kari cried out, running to the blond. She stopped and looked at him. "Are you alright?" she asked worriedly. She saw the Crest of Despair around TK's neck. "What are you doing with a crest?" she asked worriedly. TK smirked maliciously.

"Wouldn't you like to know." he said evilly. Kari was scared by the way TK was acting. She backed up a few steps. Suddenly Psymon appeared beside TK, and Devimon appeared roughly 10 metres above the air. Kari gasped.

"What's going on?" Kari asked, her voice shaking slightly.

"He's working for me now." Psymon said maliciously.

"What do you mean?" Kari gasped. The other digidestined just stood there and watched. Except Davis, who kept asking questions.

"Does anyone know what's going on here?" he asked for what seemed like the eight-millionth time.

"For the last time, we DON'T KNOW!" Yolei said angrily. "Shut up and maybe we'll find out!"

Psymon was staring at Kari, she was shaking slightly, looking into TK's once playful eyes, which now looked completely lifeless. TK was smirking at the state she was in.

"Now, my friend." Psymon said to the blond. "Use the crest to its full ability."

Kari backed off even more, so she was now roughly five metres away from the young teen. A dark aura surrounded TK's Crest of Despair, and it also surrounded Devimon. A black tornado appeared around Devimon, and it became thicker and thicker, like the tornado that had formed around Patamon two days ago. The tornado ended and in Devimon's place stood Myotismon. Kari felt sick just looking at the vampire-like digimon. She had fought against him four years ago, after he arrived on Earth to find her and destroy her. She still had bad memories about what had happened. He had destroyed Gatomon's best friend, Wizardmon, who had sacrificed himself to save them. Kari hated Myotismon for that. She stared at the digimon, her eyes filled with hatred for him. Then she stared at TK.

"You're not TK anymore." she said, almost crying. "TK would never do anything like this. Not the TK I know."

"You're right." TK said maliciously. "I'm not the TK you know, he's gone."

While this was happening Davis was prepared for battle.

"You ready, Veemon?" the goggle-head asked.

"Sure am, Davis!" the stubby blue digimon replied.

"I don't care if it's TK's digimon." Yolei piped in. "He's evil and needs to be stopped!" she turned to her digimon. "You in, Hawkmon?"

"Absolutely!" the bird-like digimon said, ready for battle.

"Is everyone else ready?" Davis asked the other digidestined. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Then let's go!"

"Veemon digivolve to.Exveemon!" "Wormmon digivolve to.Stingmon!" "Hawkmon digivolve to.Aquilamon!" "Armadillomon digivolve to.Ankylomon!" "Lynkmon digivolve to.Cougamon!" "Dulphimon digivolve to.Alamon!"

The digimon flew into the air or ran on the ground towards Psymon and Myotismon. Davis ran up to Kari while this was happening.

"Com'on Kari, we gotta go!" he said hastily. Kari started walking off with Davis holding onto her upper arm. She looked over at TK, then looked back infront of her. Davis saw how sad she was. "You OK?" he asked sympathetically.

"I can't believe it." she said grimly. "I can't believe he did that." Davis didn't want to make things worse, so he said what he thought was best.

"Don't worry Kari." he said caringly. "Whatever happened it happened for a reason, and I'm sure TK isn't doing this on purpose." Kari looked up at the boy.

"What do you mean?" she asked hoarsely. Davis noticed she had been crying.

"Well, if you think about it, even though I haven't known TK as long as you, but I know that he wouldn't do anything like that." Kari nodded slightly and they returned to the others.

"Hey Kari," Yolei said to get the brunette's attention. "You OK?"

"Yeah," Kari nodded again. She turned to face Davis. "Thanks Davis." she whispered to him. Davis blushed slightly. Kari turned to Gatomon. "You ready to fight, buddy?" The feline digimon nodded.

"Sure am!" she said energetically.

"Digi-armour energise!" Kari cried out.

"Gatomon, armour digivolve to.Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!"

The sleek cat-like digimon flew into the air to join the others in the attack. Psymon chuckled to himself at the new arrival.

"You really think you can beat me?" he asked evilly.

"Well we're not here for the good of our health!" Stingmon answered back.

"Very well then." the purple-clad digimon said coolly. With that the attack began.

"V-Laser!" "Spiking Strike!"

Exveemon and Stingmon were the first to attack. Psymon rebounded the attack with a small psychic shield, strong enough to block both attacks. Psymon striked back by hitting the two digimon with two powerful beams of dark energy. They immediately dedigivolved back into Demiveemon and Minamon.

"Looks like we're in trouble!" Ken cried out as he and Davis had caught their digimon. "Maybe if we were able to DNA digivolve ten we might stand a chance." Davis stared at Ken.

"That's it!" he cried. He turned to Kari. "Kari, call Nerfertimon back, we need her tail ring!"

"Alright," Kari nodded. "NERFERTIMON! COME BACK OVER HERE! HURRY!" The feline digimon nodded and headed towards the brunette, dodging several attacks that Psymon had shot at her to stop the digimon from getting to her destination. After arriving, she dedigivolved back into Gatomon. She took her tail ring off and handed it to Kari.

"Here." she said to the brunette. "Don't loose it!"

"Don't worry about it." Kari replied. "Now, are you ready? Remember, you're the best chance we have."

"Like you just said, don't worry about it!"

"Aquilamon.Gatomon.DNA digivolve to.Silphymon!"

"Let's go!" Silphymon called to the other digimon. He (A/N: Just to stop this from getting too confusing, I'll just call Silphymon a 'he', 'kay?) flew up into the air , and the two digimon attacked together.

"Static Force!" "Tail Hammer!" "Sonic Blast!" "Tornado Blast!"

Both attacks hit home, but did no damage to the purple-clad digimon.

"This isn't working!" Kari said desperately to Ken and Davis. Ken was trying to think.

"Our digimon are strong, but not strong enough." Ken was saying to himself. Davis and Kari listened. "With Paildramon completely out of the picture, there's no chance of being able to fight with Imperialdramon, and with TK acting like this, we can't get Shakkoumon." He looked around. Then he looked over towards Alysha and Gabby. "Wait a minute. ALYSHA! GABBY! OVER HERE!" he cried to the two girls. They ran over to him.

"What's the matter, Ken?" Alysha asked curiously.

"Listen, I have an idea that could help us out." he explained. "Do you think you two are DNA digivolving partners?"

"Well, we might be." Alysha said. "Mimi told us about it before we moved, she told us everything." She paused for a second. "Sooo, you wanna let us give it a try?" The other digidestined nodded. Alysha and Gabby looked towards their digimon.

"Cougamon!" the blonde called.

"Alamon!" the brunette cried.

"DNA DIGIVOLVE!" they both cried out together. The two digimon began to glow in a white light.

"Cougamon.Alamon.DNA digivolve to.Oromon!"

The white light disappeared, and where there was once two digimon, now only stood one. A light blue digimon that stood on all fours. It had a golden helmet which had on a red jewel on it, and two powerful wings on it's back. The two sisters stared at the new digimon.

"Who's that?" Davis asked. Demiveemon decided to tell him.

"Oromon is an ultimate animal vaccine type digimon. She can hit enemies hard with her Hyper Tornado and Supreme Blaster attacks!"

Oromon flew into the air and stopped beside Silphymon.

"Com'on guys." Oromon said in her smooth, synchronised, double voice.

"Right!" Silphymon and Ankylomon agreed.

"Static Force!" "Tail Hammer!" "Supreme Blaster!"

Psymon blocked the attacks with another psychic shield. He hit back at the digimon with three fire balls. Ankylomon got hit full on and dedigivolved back into Upamon, but Silphymon and Oromon dodged the attacks with ease. Cody picked up Upamon from the floor and looked out to the battle field.

"Why hasn't Myotismon attacked yet?" he wondered.

"Good point!" Davis agreed. They were right. Myotismon hadn't done anything yet. He just stood there next to TK watching the battle with him.

Silphymon and Oromon did there best to dodge all of Psymon's attacks, but were tiring. Occasionally they would get caught by the odd fireball, but kept going. After a few minutes of this, he stopped. The purple-clad digimon looked down at Myotismon, who in return gave a menacing smirk. Psymon teleported away and the vampire-like digimon flew into the air. The two DNA digimon looked at the evil digimon, gasping for breath. It was clear what was going on. It was Myotismon's turn to strike.

"Crimson Lightning!"

A powerful deep red rope appeared in Myotismon's hand, like a whip. He swung the rope at Silphymon, who crashed down to the ground. Silphymon then dedigivolved back into Salamon and Poromon. He swung it again and it hit Oromon in the side. She fell to the ground, making a small crater, then she dedigivolved into Pukamon and Temamon.

"Oh no!" Yolei cried as the DNA digimon hit the ground. "They were our only chance!"

Alysha and Gabby picked up there injured digimon and looked over to Myotismon and TK. Myotismon held his arm and held TK in a carrying position, then the evil digimon flew into the air and disappeared from the digidestined's sight. Kari fell to her knees and started to cry.

"I can't believe he's gone." she said hoarsely. "After all the years we were such good friends." Davis walked up to her and kneeled down beside her.

"Don't worry about it." he said softly. Kari looked up at him, and Davis smiled. "We'll get him back, 'kay?"

"You mean it?" the brunette asked, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. Salamon piped up:

"Of course we mean it!" she said smiling softly. "We're your friends, an we'll do whatever it takes to get him back!"

"Thanks guys." Kari replied, standing up. "It means a lot to me."

They went to the nearest TV and went home.

* * *

"Hey Kari! Com'on, you're late enough home as it is without missing dinner!" Kari heard a familiar voice as she walked through the door of her apartment.

"Give me a minute, Tai!" she called back as she took her shoes off. Tai poked his head from the kitchen.

"Mom and dad have gone out, something to do with Ms Takaishi." Kari felt awful as Tai said the name 'Takaishi'; It reminded her too much of TK and what had happened to him. "Anyway," he continued. "because I'd probably kill you with my cooking, I decided to order a pizza!"

"Okay," Kari sighed as she sat down, keeping her head down as she did. Tai noticed this.

"What's up, Kari?" Tai asked worriedly. "Is it something to do with TK? Did you find him?" Kari nodded slowly. "Where is he then?"

"He's not coming back, Tai." Kari said grimly. "Psymon did something to him. Now it's like he's pure evil." Tears began to fall from her eyes and onto the table. She looked up at her brother. "Do you remember a couple of days ago when I told you what had happened to Patamon?" Tai nodded. "Well, when I saw TK with Devimon, and he had this crest around his neck."

"He WHAT?" Tai asked, looking shocked. He relaxed a little, then waited for Kari to continue.

"That crest had something evil about it, I could tell. He made Devimon digivolve into Myotismon." Tai couldn't believe what he was hearing. Only four days ago there was no other threat from the Digital World, but now this evil digimon was using every obstacle they ever had at once. Tai considered this for a few seconds, then decided:

"You should go to bed early tonight." he decided. "You look wiped. We'll go and talk to Izzy tomorrow."

"OK." Kari said weakly. She got up and went to her room with Salamon in her arms.

'What will the digidestined do now that TK is their new enemy? What is Psymon planning to do next? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monster.'

Just incase my POV gets confusing, everytime a character disappears for some reason or another, the POV changes. It'll end up in this order;

TK Kari Davis Ken Alysha Gabby Yolei Cody

If anythin' else happens, I'll let ya know, 'kay? PS, NO FLAMES!!!
