Courage And Friendship
"Hey TK!" Kari said happily as she approached him on the way to school. "Glad to see your at school today!" She was walking next to him, looking at him. "Why the glum face? You've got Patamon back."
"It's not that." TK replied grimly. "After what I did to you guys, I amazed you still like me!"
"Oh com'on TK, you know it wasn't your fault!" the brunette said honestly. "It was all Psymon's fault!"
"But it wasn't!" TK said harshly, stopping and staring at Kari. "I could of at least tried to break Psymon's control over me, but I didn't! It was my choice, and THAT'S THAT!" With that he stormed off, leaving Kari standing there. "But, TK." she said quietly. 'Why did he act like that? I thought he said that he loved me!' she thought sadly.
"Hey Kari!" Davis said happily as he walked up to her. "What's up?"
"It's TK." she replied sadly. "He was really angry about what happened with Psymon, but I get the feeling that he knows it wasn't his fault, and that he thinks that we might not trust him, or start acting strangely around him."
"Maybe." Davis said thoughtfully, looking up to see TK running into school. "Before we deal with TK, we need a plan to defeat Psymon."
* * *
'What was wrong me today?' TK was puzzled that whole day, he didn't understand why he treated Kari like that. 'No matter how hard I try, I always push people away, I don't even think about it, I just do!' He was trying to remember anything during the time when he was under Psymon's control. 'When I spoke to Kari I knew I'd done some horrible things, but what were they?' Suddenly, he froze, and started sweating. He was remembering something.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Not got your little angel, huh?" TK asked maliciously.
"You leave Kari out of this!" Davis shot back. TK grabbed Davis by the shirt collar and smashed him into the tree behind him.
"Hey, get off him!" Ken cried as he ran towards Davis. TK used his right arm to bat Ken to the ground powerfully, knocking the boy unconscious.
"KEN!!" Yolei screamed as he fell to the ground. She ran up to him and tried to wake him up.
"You see, Motamiya?" TK sneered. "You're nothing, not even with your friends you can defeat me." He hit Davis in the side of the face with his right fist. Davis winced in pain, and quickly tried to recover, only to receive another blow from the other side of his face.
TK let go of him and he fell to the ground instantly. He slowly got up off the ground.
"You're gonna pay for this, Takaishi!" he spat in suppressed rage. "If I don't do it for Ken then this is for Kari!" He whacked TK in the side of his face, knocking him down. The blond quickly got up.
"Is that the best you can do?" he asked tauntingly. "You hit like a girl." Davis tackled TK to the ground, but the young teen kicked him into the air by doing a backwards flip, landing perfectly on his feet, Davis laying on the ground, having just had the wind knocked out of him. He got up and looked into the air after a loud crash was heard. Myotismon had weakened the digimon enough to knock them out of the sky or straight to the ground. They dedigivolved back to their rookie forms. "Well, I guess our work is done here." TK said malevolently. Myotismon flew down, picked TK up and they flew off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'What have I done?' he asked himself, breathing heavily after just remembering that incident. 'I'm no better then Psymon himself!' He looked up quickly to see the teacher dismissing the class. He left the classroom and immediately headed for home.
"TK! WAIT!" Kari yelled after him as he ran through the corridor to get out of school. Davis put his hand on her shoulder.
"Look, it's like I said before, let's come up with a plan of action first." he said assuringly. Kari nodded and they headed for the computer room with Ken and Alysha.
* * *
TK was running as fast as he could away from the school, Patamon flying after him, after spotting him running from school.
"TK, slow down!" the little digimon pleaded to his human partner. He was tiring from all that flying. They arrived at the beach where he slowed down. "Why did you come here?" Patamon asked curiously.
"To think." he said simply. Patamon was confused. TK looked out onto the ocean, then sat down on the soft sandy beach.
"What do you mean?" the flying digimon wondered. TK was quiet for a moment, then sighed and spoke:
"When I was under Psymon's control, I knew I'd done terrible things. After I broke his control over me I couldn't remember a thing about what had happened to me, but just now I had this flashback, and in it I attacked Davis, and knocked Ken out. Now I don't know whether the others will trust me anymore."
"TK, you know the others will trust you. Just be positive!" Patamon said matter-of-factly. TK suddenly froze in his position. "TK, what's wrong?" the little digimon asked worriedly. TK's mind was fuzzy, and he was sweating. It was another flashback.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm sick of you two acting so weak!" TK spat at Davis and Kari. "Now it begins." He swung his fist towards Davis, who closed his eyes tightly, preparing for impact, instead Kari had stepped infront of Davis and had taken the full blow of the attack! She let out a small scream, but stood still. She was staring at the icy glare TK had set on her. There was huge red mark on her face where TK's fist had hit it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No, I couldn't have done that!" the blond said suddenly. Patamon was worried.
"Done what?" he asked.
"I just had another memory. I." he paused and looked down at the beach. "I.hit Kari." Patamon looked shocked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I hit her. I was going to hit Davis and Kari took the full blow instead, but she still told me that she loved me." Patamon smiled.
"That proves how much she cares for you." he said gently.
"I guess." TK replied grimly.
"HEY TK! PATAMON!" TK turned to see Davis running towards him. He stopped and looked at TK. "Hey, what's up?"
"I'm surprised you even want to talk to me!" the blond replied, not looking at Davis. Davis sat down beside him.
"Look, I'll admit that you were a bit rough, but I know for a fact that you're a nice guy."
"But I hurt you and Ken."
"So?"
"So why don't you hate me for it?"
"'Cause I know you didn't mean it!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!" TK looked at Davis, then shook his head.
"I don't deserve to be a digidestined."
"Yes you do!"
"I don't!" Davis was getting mad. He stood up and glared at TK.
"Now listen here! I didn't come here just so I can be told something that isn't true!" TK was looking at him. "Look, everyone wants to take Psymon down, so we decided that we aren't going to leave the Digital World until he's gone. It might take a while, or it might be a quick battle, but all we know is that he isn't going to win!" Davis turned away to leave, then stopped and spoke, though not looking at TK. "We leave in an hour. If you want to come, then come, but if you don't, then you can just forget it!" He walked away, leaving TK and Patamon on their own.
"What are you gonna do?" Patamon asked curiously. TK looked back at the ocean, silent.
* * *
In the Digital World, Psymon was in his lab, looking at the documents that TK had created when he was under his control.
"Maybe I could use these plans to my advantage." he smirked evilly.
* * *
"Is everyone here?" Yolei asked, looking around the room. Kari had just entered the room and had joined the others. Instead of wearing her camera around her neck, she wore it on a silver belt around her waist, along with her D-3. Everyone nodded in agreement. "And has everyone told the truth about where we're going?" She pointed this question at Davis, who nodded honestly.
"Let's go!" Davis said energetically.
"You're not thinking of going without me, are you?" Everyone looked towards the door, to find TK and Patamon there. TK was grinning, and wearing his Crest of Hope.
"TK! You're here!" Kari ran up to him and hugged him tightly. TK looked over at Davis, who smiled confidently. He returned the smile thankfully. Kari let go of TK and turned to the others. "Is everyone ready to go?"
"YEAH!" the other digidestined replied in unison.
"Then let's go. DIGI-PORT OPEN!!" They were pulled through the gate, ready for battle.
* * *
"Now, let's go!" Davis cried enthusiastically. The digidestined left the area where they had arrived, and began to try and find some sort of trace of Psymon. TK had a strange feeling when they came near a huge forest. He felt hot and started sweating. 'I can tell there's something about this forest, but why am I feeling like this?' he wondered. 'Wait. What's was that?' He definitely knew something was coming. He saw the glow of an attack coming from the densely packed forest.
"KARI MOVE IT!!!" the blond yelled as he ran towards her. She looked at him and he pushed her down to the ground just in time to dodge a massive blast of energy heading her way. Psymon walked out of the forest and stood infront of TK and Kari, who had just stood up.
"You're better than I thought, Takaishi." the purple-clad digimon said plainly. "I never thought you'd be able to know that attack was coming, but I had to find out anyway."
"What do you want now?" Davis asked aggressively. The psychic digimon smirked at Davis, then turned back to TK.
"Your plans were very interesting, you know." he said simply. "So good in fact that I just had to use them!"
"Huh? What are you on about this time?" TK asked angrily. Psymon looked towards to forest, where 7 pairs of red eyes glowed from the bushes. Suddenly, they jumped out and stood behind Psymon.
"Digidestined, I'd like you to meet my new friends." the purple-clad digimon announced. He looked at the seven digimon. "This is BlackGatomon." he looked at the digimon that looked like Gatomon, except she was black, had bluey-grey gloves and had a back shiny tailring. ".Darkmadillomon." A grey version of Armadillomon stepped forward. His shell was darker then his actual skin, and his claws were black. ".Exmon." He looked at a navy-blue version of Veemon. The symbol on his head was a deep yellow, and his eyes were glowing instead of being their usual red colour. ".Hielomon." A digimon that looked like Wormmon made himself visible. He was deep shade of red, and the mark on his head was ultramarine-blue. ".Eagemon." the Hawkmon- like digimon smirked evilly as Psymon mentioned his name. He was a deep- grey colour, and had a shiny black belt for a headband. ".and finally, Lugxmon and Duromon." The last two digimon stepped forward. Lugxmon was a light grey version of Lynkmon. She had a deep-grey diamond on her back, and the gem in her necklace was black, and Duromon was a light grey version of Dulphimon.
"Where did those guys some from?" Davis asked in amazement.
"Oh, you can thank your friend for that." Psymon said simply. He looked at TK. "He was the one that came up with the plans for these digimon, I simply made them a reality."
"But there are only seven." Kari pointed out.
"Yes, well, I decided to make an extra, just so that my 'friend' here wouldn't be left out." Another pair of red eyes appeared in the forest. A little digimon flew out. It looked exactly like Patamon, except for his fur, which was a deep purple.
"This, is Tsukaimon." the psychic digimon said simply. TK was looking at the digimon. 'Was this what Patamon would have looked like if he lost all of his energy with the virus?' he wondered sacredly.
"Well I don't care if he's got another addition to his little group!" Davis said angrily. "Let's fight!"
"Veemon digivolve to." nothing happened.
"Huh? What's up?" Davis asked Veemon. The stubby blue digimon shrugged his shoulders. "Well try again!"
"Veemon digivolve to." still nothing happened. Psymon smiled.
"You won't be able to digivolve, not when I'm psychically making it impossible to." he said matter-of-factly.
"Well, I guess we duke it out as it is!" Davis said energetically.
"Go my friends." Psymon said quietly. All of the dark digimon raced towards the digidestined and their partners.
"Vee Headbutt!" Veemon cried out. His attack hit Exmon full on, and the little digimon fell to the ground. The battle ensued, each digimon fighting their respective 'dark' version. Psymon approached TK.
"So, you want to be the hero again, do you?" he asked, trying to sound innocent.
"What do you want?" the blond responded angrily.
"Oh come on Takaishi, you know what I want!" he moved closer. "You want to be the bad boy again, and I want you with Despair again!"
"No!" Kari cried out. "We won't let you!"
"Well I'm afraid you don't have a choice!" He held out his hand, and a dark aura formed around TK. He fell to his knees and started shaking with pain.
"TK NO!" Kari yelled out. Davis heard her and ran towards Psymon.
"LEAVE THEM ALONE!!" he cried out as he ran towards the digimon. Davis slammed into his side and they both fell to the floor. The dark aura around TK faded and he looked up, surprised.
"Davis?" he gasped confusedly. Davis had gotten up and was breathing deeply in and out to control his anger.
"Never do that to my friends EVER AGAIN!" he said aggressively. Psymon got to his feet and glared at Davis.
"You got lucky there, you know." he said angrily. "I never make the same mistake twice." He started powering up a powerful dark attack in his hands. Davis still stood there.
"You can do to me all you want, Psymon!" he cried as the attack was now so powerful it was roaring with energy. "But you'll never hurt my friends when I'm here!" The attack fired and headed straight towards him. He didn't step back or look scared.
"DAVIS!! NO!!" Kari screamed the attack was only a few metres from him. The other digidestined were pleading him to get out of the way. Davis still stood still. 'What if this is it?' he thought, realising the consequences of his actions. 'Well, at least I'll go fighting, no matter what!' Suddenly he began to glow a bright orange and silvery-blue. He heard to attack, but nothing happened. 'Huh? What happened?' The attack faded, and he still had a strong glow around him.
"Davis! You're alright!" Kari said happily. "But why are you glowing?"
"It must be because of his DigiEggs, Courage is orange and Friendship is blue!" TK realised. The bright light surrounded all the digidestined's digimon.
"Veemon digivolve to.Exveemon!" "Wormmon digivolve to.Stingmon!" "Patamon digivolve to.Angemon!" "Hawkmon digivolve to.Aquilamon!" "Armadillomon digivolve to.Ankylomon!" "Lynkmon digivolve to.Cougamon!" "Dulphimon digivolve to.Alamon!" "Gatomon armour digivolve to.Nerfertimon, the Angel of Light!"
The light around Davis faded and he collapsed to the ground.
"Davis!" Kari cried. She ran over to him and tried to wake him up. Meanwhile, the champion digimon beating the enemy digimon with ease.
"V-Laser!"
Exveemon's attack his Exmon easily, and the little digimon was destroyed.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon's attack went right through Hielomon, who disappeared seconds later.
"Hand Of Fate!"
Angemon's attack hits Tsukaimon, who was deleted.
"Tail Hammer!" "Blast Rings!" "Rosette Stones!"
All three attacks hit Darkmadillomon, Eagemon and BlackGatomon, who all separated into bits of data.
"Sonic Blaster!" "Tornado Blast!"
Cougamon's and Alamon's attacks immediately destroyed Lugxmon and Duromon and they were destroyed with ease.
"I guess I underestimated you fools." Psymon said angrily. "I guess it's time for me to go."
"Come back here!" Ken called as Psymon disappeared. "Damn!" Kari looked down at Davis.
"We'll get him next time." she said determinedly. Davis slowly opened his eyes.
"What happened?" he asked as he sat up.
"I'm not entirely sure." TK said honestly. "When Psymon fired that attack at you, you started glowing the colours of the symbols on your DigiEggs. But." he paused for a second nervously. "why did you try to save me?" Davis looked at him.
"Well, you were in trouble!" he said simply. "Of course I had to save you!"
"I don't mean that!" TK said quickly. "I mean, why did you save me after everything I put you through?"
"'Cause you're not the same person that attacked me! And don't go all depressed on me again!"
"Maybe." TK trailed off a little. He was looking at his crest. The other digidestined looked at TK's crest. It was glowing a bright golden colour.
"Maybe TK's Crest reacted by the friendship from Davis! His Crest must be fully operational!" Kari guessed.
"If the Crest is working then we should et going to defeat Psymon." Ken said immediately afterwards. The light around the crest faded and returned to its usual self. "Let's go!" The digidestined agreed and they headed off.
* * *
A few hours later, they decided to rest for the night. They laid out their sleeping bags and a few minutes later they were all asleep, except for TK, who lay down looking at the stars. When he was confident that everyone was asleep, he got out of his sleeping bag and walked off into the forest. The rustling of the grass woke Kari up, and she quietly followed TK as he left.
TK walked through the forest for roughly half-an-hour, until he arrived at a lake. He sat down by the lake and picked up some water with his cupped hands. He looked at it, then splashed it on his face. Kari came up from behind him.
"TK?" she said suddenly, breaking the silence. TK jumped up to his feet and turned around, but he lost his balance and fell into the water. Kari started laughing when TK's head appeared above the water. His hat had fallen off and Kari was holding onto it.
"What's so funny?" he irritably, gasping for breath.
"You looked so cute just then!" Kari giggled. TK smiled.
"Well in that case." he grabbed Kari by the legs and pulled her into the lake with him. Kari came out from under the water. "You look better in water too!" They both started laughing so much that they didn't even care whether anyone heard them. They got out of the water and held each other's hands.
"TK, why did you come so far away from the others?" Kari asked curiously.
"I'm still not sure about the others." he said simply. "I don't know if they properly trust me or not." Kari was about to object, but was cut off. "I mean, I know that Davis trusts me, and you trust me, but what about Yolei, Cody, 'Lysha and Gabby? Do you think they trust me?"
"Of course they do!" Kari said objectively. "They just haven't been able to show it like Davis has, but they do!"
"Yeah." TK sighed. A few seconds later they headed off back to the others. The one thing they didn't realise, was that a familiar figure was watching them.
"Soon, very soon, you will see my true power." the figure said maliciously, and a loud, spine-chilling laugh was heard throughout the forest.
'Are there really more crests in the Digital World? And are the digidestined going to defeat Psymon? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters.'
What do you think? This fic was dedicated to the true friendship of Daikeru, nothing else, so don't get any ideas already! Oh well, nearly the end if this little collection of chapters known as a fanfic. Hope I write a good enough ending to it all! R+R, but NO FLAMES!!!

Courage And Friendship
"Hey TK!" Kari said happily as she approached him on the way to school. "Glad to see your at school today!" She was walking next to him, looking at him. "Why the glum face? You've got Patamon back."
"It's not that." TK replied grimly. "After what I did to you guys, I amazed you still like me!"
"Oh com'on TK, you know it wasn't your fault!" the brunette said honestly. "It was all Psymon's fault!"
"But it wasn't!" TK said harshly, stopping and staring at Kari. "I could of at least tried to break Psymon's control over me, but I didn't! It was my choice, and THAT'S THAT!" With that he stormed off, leaving Kari standing there. "But, TK." she said quietly. 'Why did he act like that? I thought he said that he loved me!' she thought sadly.
"Hey Kari!" Davis said happily as he walked up to her. "What's up?"

* * *
TK was running as fast as he could away from the school, Patamon flying after him, after spotting him running from school.
"TK, slow down!" the little digimon pleaded to his human partner. He was tiring from all that flying. They arrived at the beach where he slowed down. "Why did you come here?" Patamon asked curiously.
"To think." he said simply. Patamon was confused. TK looked out onto the ocean, then sat down on the soft sandy beach.
"What do you mean?" the flying digimon wondered. TK was quiet for a moment, then sighed and spoke:
"When I was under Psymon's control, I knew I'd done terrible things. After I broke his control over me I couldn't remember a thing about what had happened to me, but just now I had this flashback, and in it I attacked Davis, and knocked Ken out.

"I just had another memory. I." he paused and looked down at the beach. "I.hit Kari." Patamon looked shocked.

"I mean I hit her. I was going to hit Davis and Kari took the full blow instead, but she still told me that she loved me." Patamon smiled.
"That proves how much she cares for you." he said gently.

"HEY TK! PATAMON!" TK turned to see Davis running towards him. He stopped and looked at TK. "Hey, what's up?"
"I'm surprised you even want to talk to me!" the blond replied, not looking at Davis. Davis sat down beside him.
"Look, I'll admit that you were a bit rough, but I know for a fact that you're a nice guy."
"But I hurt you and Ken."
"So?"
"So why don't you hate me for it?"
"'Cause I know you didn't mean it!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!" TK looked at Davis, then shook his head.
"I don't deserve to be a digidestined."
"Yes you do!"
"I don't!" Davis was getting mad. He stood up and glared at TK.
"Now listen here! I didn't come here just so I can be told something that isn't true!" TK was looking at him. "Look, everyone wants to take Psymon down, so we decided that we aren't going to leave the Digital World until he's gone. It might take a while, or it might be a quick battle, but all we know is that he isn't going to win!" Davis turned away to leave, then stopped and spoke, though not looking at TK. "We leave in an hour. If you want to come, then come, but if you don't, then you can just forget it!" He walked away, leaving TK and Patamon on their own.

"You're better than I thought, Takaishi." the purple-clad digimon said plainly. "I never thought you'd be able to know that attack was coming, but I had to find out anyway."
"What do you want now?" Davis asked aggressively. The psychic digimon smirked at Davis, then turned back to TK.
"Your plans were very interesting, you know." he said simply. "So good in fact that I just had to use them!"
"Huh? What are you on about this time?" TK asked angrily. Psymon looked towards to forest, where 7 pairs of red eyes glowed from the bushes. Suddenly, they jumped out and stood behind Psymon.
"Digidestined, I'd like you to meet my new friends." the purple-clad digimon announced. He looked at the seven digimon.

"This, is Tsukaimon." the psychic digimon said simply. TK was looking at the digimon. 'Was this what Patamon would have looked like if he lost all of his energy with the virus?' he wondered sacredly.
"Well I don't care if he's got another addition to his little group!" Davis said angrily. "Let's fight!"
"Veemon digivolve to." nothing happened.
"Huh? What's up?" Davis asked Veemon. The stubby blue digimon shrugged his shoulders. "Well try again!"
"Veemon digivolve to." still nothing happened. Psymon smiled.
"You won't be able to digivolve, not when I'm psychically making it impossible to." he said matter-of-factly.
"Well, I guess we duke it out as it is!" Davis said energetically.
"Go my friends." Psymon said quietly. All of the dark digimon raced towards the digidestined and their partners.
"Vee Headbutt!" Veemon cried out. His attack hit Exmon full on, and the little digimon fell to the ground. The battle ensued, each digimon fighting their respective 'dark' version. Psymon approached TK.
"So, you want to be the hero again, do you?" he asked, trying to sound innocent.
"What do you want?" the blond responded angrily.
"Oh come on Takaishi, you know what I want!" he moved closer. "You want to be the bad boy again, and I want you with Despair again!"
"No!" Kari cried out. "We won't let you!"
"Well I'm afraid you don't have a choice!" He held out his hand, and a dark aura formed around TK. He fell to his knees and started shaking with pain.
"TK NO!" Kari yelled out. Davis heard her and ran towards Psymon.
"LEAVE THEM ALONE!!" he cried out as he ran towards the digimon. Davis slammed into his side and they both fell to the floor. The dark aura around TK faded and he looked up, surprised.
"Davis?" he gasped confusedly. Davis had gotten up and was breathing deeply in and out to control his anger.
"Never do that to my friends EVER AGAIN!" he said aggressively. Psymon got to his feet and glared at Davis.
"You got lucky there, you know." he said angrily. "I never make the same mistake twice." He started powering up a powerful dark attack in his hands. Davis still stood there.
"You can do to me all you want, Psymon!" he cried as the attack was now so powerful it was roaring with energy. "But you'll never hurt my friends when I'm here!" The attack fired and headed straight towards him. He didn't step back or look scared.
"DAVIS!! NO!!" Kari screamed the attack was only a few metres from him. The other digidestined were pleading him to get out of the way. Davis still stood still. 'What if this is it?' he thought, realising the consequences of his actions. 'Well, at least I'll go fighting, no matter what!' Suddenly he began to glow a bright orange and silvery-blue. He heard to attack, but nothing happened. 'Huh? What happened?' The attack faded, and he still had a strong glow around him.
"Davis! You're alright!" Kari said happily. "But why are you glowing?"
"It must be because of his DigiEggs, Courage is orange and Friendship is blue!" TK realised. The bright light surrounded all the digidestined's digimon.
"Veemon digivolve to.Exveemon!" "Wormmon digivolve to.Stingmon!" "Patamon digivolve to.Angemon!" "Hawkmon digivolve to.Aquilamon!" "Armadillomon digivolve to.Ankylomon!" "Lynkmon digivolve to.Cougamon!" "Dulphimon digivolve to.Alamon!" "Gatomon armour digivolve to.Nerfertimon, the Angel of Light!"
The light around Davis faded and he collapsed to the ground.
"Davis!" Kari cried. She ran over to him and tried to wake him up. Meanwhile, the champion digimon beating the enemy digimon with ease.
"V-Laser!"
Exveemon's attack his Exmon easily, and the little digimon was destroyed.
"Spiking Strike!"
Stingmon's attack went right through Hielomon, who disappeared seconds later.
"Hand Of Fate!"
Angemon's attack hits Tsukaimon, who was deleted.
"Tail Hammer!" "Blast Rings!" "Rosette Stones!"
All three attacks hit Darkmadillomon, Eagemon and BlackGatomon, who all separated into bits of data.
"Sonic Blaster!" "Tornado Blast!"
Cougamon's and Alamon's attacks immediately destroyed Lugxmon and Duromon and they were destroyed with ease.
"I guess I underestimated you fools." Psymon said angrily. "I guess it's time for me to go."
"Come back here!" Ken called as Psymon disappeared. "Damn!" Kari looked down at Davis.
"We'll get him next time." she said determinedly. Davis slowly opened his eyes.
"What happened?" he asked as he sat up.
"I'm not entirely sure." TK said honestly. "When Psymon fired that attack at you, you started glowing the colours of the symbols on your DigiEggs. But." he paused for a second nervously. "why did you try to save me?" Davis looked at him.
"Well, you were in trouble!" he said simply. "Of course I had to save you!"
"I don't mean that!" TK said quickly. "I mean, why did you save me after everything I put you through?"
"'Cause you're not the same person that attacked me! And don't go all depressed on me again!"
"Maybe." TK trailed off a little. He was looking at his crest. The other digidestined looked at TK's crest. It was glowing a bright golden colour.
"Maybe TK's Crest reacted by the friendship from Davis! His Crest must be fully operational!" Kari guessed.
"If the Crest is working then we should et going to defeat Psymon." Ken said immediately afterwards. The light around the crest faded and returned to its usual self. "Let's go!" The digidestined agreed and they headed off.

A few hours later, they decided to rest for the night. They laid out their sleeping bags and a few minutes later they were all asleep, except for TK, who lay down looking at the stars. When he was confident that everyone was asleep, he got out of his sleeping bag and walked off into the forest. The rustling of the grass woke Kari up, and she quietly followed TK as he left.
TK walked through the forest for roughly half-an-hour, until he arrived at a lake. He sat down by the lake and picked up some water with his cupped hands. He looked at it, then splashed it on his face. Kari came up from behind him.
"TK?" she said suddenly, breaking the silence. TK jumped up to his feet and turned around, but he lost his balance and fell into the water. Kari started laughing when TK's head appeared above the water. His hat had fallen off and Kari was holding onto it.
"What's so funny?" he irritably, gasping for breath.
"You looked so cute just then!" Kari giggled. TK smiled.
"Well in that case." he grabbed Kari by the legs and pulled her into the lake with him. Kari came out from under the water. "You look better in water too!" They both started laughing so much that they didn't even care whether anyone heard them. They got out of the water and held each other's hands.
"TK, why did you come so far away from the others?" Kari asked curiously.
"I'm still not sure about the others." he said simply. "I don't know if they properly trust me or not." Kari was about to object, but was cut off. "I mean, I know that Davis trusts me, and you trust me, but what about Yolei, Cody, 'Lysha and Gabby? Do you think they trust me?"
"Of course they do!" Kari said objectively. "They just haven't been able to show it like Davis has, but they do!"
"Yeah." TK sighed. A few seconds later they headed off back to the others. The one thing they didn't realise, was that a familiar figure was watching them.
"Soon, very soon, you will see my true power." the figure said maliciously, and a loud, spine-chilling laugh was heard throughout the forest.
'Are there really more crests in the Digital World? And are the digidestined going to defeat Psymon? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters.'
What do you think? This fic was dedicated to the true friendship of Daikeru, nothing else, so don't get any ideas already! Oh well, nearly the end if this little collection of chapters known as a fanfic. Hope I write a good enough ending to it all! R+R, but NO FLAMES!!!
