An Unexpected Return
"Say cheese!"
"CHEEEESE!"
Kari, TK, Gabby and Alysha were in the Digital World, chilling out during the weekend. They were taking photos of themselves and their digimon while mucking around. It was coming close to lunchtime so they decided to stop and eat something in Digitamamon's diner.
"So, what will it be?" the large egg asked cheerfully.
"The usual." Kari said simply. The digimon plodded off towards the kitchen.
"So, what do you wanna do after lunch?" Alysha asked.
"Well," TK began. "we could go to Primary Village to see how all the baby digimon are doing."
"I'm in!" Gabby said energetically. "We don't go there much anymore." Just then Digitamamon walked back into the main diner.
"Here's your dinners!" he said cheerfully. "I know it was quick, I expected you were coming today. Enjoy!"
"Don't worry, we will!" Kari replied. They ate their lunches extremely quickly, and didn't have time to talk. Within minutes the food was gone.
"That was great!" Kari said, sinking down into her seat.
"Of course it was great, it's always great!" Alysha said in reply. They paid Digitamamon, with added tip, and left the diner.
"Com'on, let's get to Primary Village." Gabby said excitedly.
"Patamon digivolve to.Angemon!" "Dulphimon digivolve to.Alamon!" "Gatomon digivolve to.Angewomon!"
The four kids were ready to leave, when they heard a loud explosion near them. They rushed over to see what was going on. Suddenly, a red digimon leapt towards them, explosions following him.
"Elecmon?" TK wondered. "What are you doing here?" Elecmon didn't have time to answer. A digimon emerged from the forest. TK nearly choked when he saw who it was. This digimon was all-too familiar; lilac clothing, purple cloak, and that malicious smirk that never left the teen's mind, in his sleep, during the day, everyday for the last three years.
Psymon.
"WHAT?" TK gasped.
"What's wrong, didn't expect to see me again?" the digimon smirked. Digitamamon emerged from his diner.
"What's going on out here?" he asked. He saw Psymon. "DON'T SCARE MY CUSTOMERS!!" he yelled as he dived towards the psychic digimon.
"DIGITAMAMON! NO!!" Kari yelled as Psymon struck him down with a blast of energy. She ran up to the injured digimon.
"Celestial Arrow!"
Angewomon clipped Psymon on the arm with her attack. He turned to face the angelic digimon.
"Hand Of Fate!"
As soon as Psymon had turned around Angemon had hit him with his attack. This stunned him for a moment.
"We'd better get out of here!" Kari said hastily. TK was rooted to the spot, staring at him. 'He can't be back,' he thought scaredly. 'he just can't be! If he's back then Patamon and all my other friends are in danger again!'
"TK, you gotta move!" Gabby said worriedly. "Don't let him get to you!" TK looked at the twelve-year-old. "Com'on, we've gotta help Digitamamon out, he got hurt." TK nodded and they started to make their way towards Kari, Alysha and Elecmon. Psymon saw them begin to move.
"No, this time they will not get away!" he said harshly. "PSY BLAST!!!" He used one of his conventional attacks and struck the digimon down in a massive energy shockwave, returning them to there rookie/champion forms. It knocked TK and Gabby to the ground moments later, knocking them out. Psymon flew towards to two digidestined. "After all these years, did you think I was going to let you get away this time?"
"TK NO!!" Kari cried as the psychic digimon moved in closer.
"GABBY!!" Alysha screamed as she got up and started to run towards them. But it was too late. Psymon had grabbed them along with Patamon and Dulphimon and teleported away before she could do anything.
"TK!!!" Kari screamed as he disappeared. Tears formed in her eyes as she picked up Gatomon. "He's taken him away from me again."
"We gotta tell the others." Alysha said, tears also forming in her eyes. "And we've gotta tell Joe about Digitamamon, so he can help him."
"I can look after Digitamamon for now if you like. I can fill him in on what happened when he comes round."
"OK." Alysha replied. "You ready to go Kari?"
"Yeah, I guess..." Kari said weakly. They walked to the TV with the Digi-port and returned home.
* * *
"WHAT?" Davis said shockedly. His jaw dropped a good few inches and he stared at Kari and Alysha.
"He's back, and he took TK and Gabby." Kari said sadly.
"No, he couldn't of done!" Cody cried disbelievingly. "Why would he?"
"It's obvious." Alysha said simply. "Because TK used to do his dirty work, and Gabby's digimon destroyed him."
"So what are we gonna do?" Yolei asked worriedly. "Psymon was difficult to defeat before, now he'll be even more powerful!"
"We have to think carefully on this one." Ken said thoughtfully. "If we rush into the fight then we're bound to lose!"
"Yeah, but we gotta think of something!" Kari said desperately. "TK and Gabby are counting on us!" The digidestined nodded in agreement and began to brainstorm ideas...
* * *
Darkness. There was nothing but darkness, apart from a couple a torches lighting the large, spacious room. TK slowly opened his eyes. His head ached, along with every other part of his body. His mind was numb, and he couldn't remember much of what happened.
"Kari?" he said weakly when he couldn't see anything. "Patamon?" He tried to move, but couldn't. Through the dim light he found that his arms and legs where bolted to the wall! He tried to free them, but wasn't strong enough. He was about 5 metres from the ground, and it seemed like a bottomless pit to him. He started to panic. "KARI! PATAMON! WHERE ARE YOU?!" he cried out into the darkness. Suddenly the whole room brightened up, and there stood Psymon.
"What's the matter, Takaishi?" he asked innocently. TK glared at him.
"Where am I?" he asked angrily.
"It's a secret." Psymon taunted. "Oh, I forgot to mention, I have one of your friends with me." He made the last section of the room light up, and there, unconscious, also bolted to the wall, was Gabby.
"GABBY!" TK cried when he saw her. He turned to face Psymon. "What have you done to her?"
"Don't worry about it, she's merely unconscious, she'll be fine... for now..."
"What do you mean? What are you gonna do, and where's Patamon?"
"Your little bat-pig is fine, and as for what I'm gonna do to you..." He clicked his fingers and the metal bars holding TK's arms and legs to the wall disappeared, causing him slam onto the ground. "...I'll think of something." He laughed to himself and teleported away. The metal bars holding Gabby also disappeared. TK ran and caught her before she hit the cold hard ground. She slowly opened her eyes.
"TK?" she wondered as she looked up and saw him. "Where are we?"
"I'm not sure, Gabby." TK said simply. "Psymon must have knocked us out and taken us here. He was here only a moment ago."
"He was?" Gabby looked scared. "Where's Dulphimon?"
"I think he's got her." TK said grimly. Tears appeared in the young brunette's eyes.
"If he has her, then he can destroy her!" she said detressedly. "And I don't want to lose her again!"
"Don't worry, you won't." TK said softly. "We'll find a way out of here, 'kay?"
"'Kay."
* * *
The digidestined had informed all the older digidestined about what had happened. Izzy was trying to figure out Psymon's intentions.
"Let's see," he said thoughtfully, typing into his laptop. "So far, we've figured out that when digimon get reconfigured, they become more powerful then before. So that means that there's an even worse battle ahead then before. And I also think I've figured out why he took TK and Gabby."
"But we already know that!" Kari cried.
"That wasn't the only reason. The idea of him taking them out of revenge is too weak on its own. I spoke to Gennai and figured it out."
"What is it then?" Davis asked impatiently.
"In the Digital World, Hope and Light are connected, as are Faith and Harmony, but there's also a connection between Hope and Faith, as well as Light and Harmony."
"But what's that got to do with it?" Cody asked.
"I was getting to that! The connections have the ability to make their digimon stronger, but if any of you weren't in the same vicinity as one of their respective partners, then the digimon would have no excess strength and therefore, cannot digivolve."
"But how are we connected?" Alysha asked.
"It's simple. After everyone gave up their Crests four years ago, Hope and Light's Crests contained so much energy, there was some excess, but not enough to turn back into their natural Crests. But after Owikawa restored the Digital World, he gave Hope and Light even more power, giving them the ability to return to Crests. But he also unleashed two other energies; Faith and Harmony. They naturally had the ability to turn into Crests. Hope and Light were created by the same energy, as were Faith and Harmony."
"You do realise most of the stuff you said there wasn't necessary?" Ken noted.
"I know, but I felt I had to say it!" Izzy replied.
"But that still doesn't explain why he kidnapped TK and Gabby!" Davis complained.
"Weren't you listening!" Izzy said irritably. "There are only two combinations of Crests that don't give their digimon the full energy to digivolve; Faith and Light, and Hope and Harmony!"
"Ooohhh, riiiight, I get it now!" Davis said, catching on.
"About a million years after everyone else!" Alysha mumbled. "Hey, Izzy?"
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering. Will you be able to find them?"
"It's hard to say. Psymon's good at hiding things from view or detection. I'll try though. But right now, you guys should go home and tell everyone what's happened, your parents don't know yet, but they should be told everything."
"Right." Everyone agreed and left.
* * *
Psymon was stood in a cold, grey lab. Like his previous one, it was full of computers, each one with different images on them. In the middle of his lab, there were two black cages. In one there was Patamon, and the other, Dulphimon. Both of them had woken up and were yelling at him to let them go. Occasionally Patamon would fire off a Boom Bubble attack at him, but he just shrugged it off and ignored the little digimon.
"What are you gonna do to us?" he asked for the fifteenth time since he had woken up. Psymon once again ignored him. "Are you really that scared that once you tell us we'll escape and ruin it for you?" Psymon turned suddenly to face him.
"For your information, I AM going to do something to you, you little runt!" he said harshly. He turned back to the computer. "Though by the time you find out what it is, it will be too late."
"Where's Gabby?" Dulphimon demanded.
"And TK?" Patamon joined in.
"They're fine...although if I where you, I'd be worrying about myself..." He walked off to another computer, out of the two rookie digimon's view. "Don't think I'll let your friends off either!" he called from behind the computer. "They owe me more then you two ever could!" Patamon and Dulphimon looked at each other sadly. 'What am I gonna do,' Patamon thought sadly. 'if he hurts TK, I'll never forgive myself.' Dulphimon was worried too. 'If only I was stronger, I could beat him again, but something doesn't feel right, like me and Gabby's connection with Alysha and Kari has been interfered.' The two little digimon were quiet after that.
"TK, you've being hitting that wall for hours, give it a break!" Gabby pleaded as TK slammed into the wall of their prison for what seemed like the two-hundredth time. His hat had fallen off, though he didn't care. His side felt like it was on fire with pain, and his head ached from when he occasionally smashed it into the wall by accident. "You'll give yourself concussion if you're not careful!" He stopped and slumped to the ground on his knees, exhausted. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." TK said grimly. "I just hope Patamon's OK."
"He'll be fine, and so will Dulphimon, 'cause if we don't save them, the others will!"
"I suppose..." TK held onto his side. "I think I need a lie down. My side's killin' me!" Gabby rolled her eyes, then helped him up and took him to one side of the room.
"I guess this is the closest we get to beds." Gabby guessed, looking at the hard, cold ground. "Well, I'm tired too, we better get some rest." Gabby went to the opposite side of the room and lay down, both of them drifting off to sleep seconds later.
DigiDudette: Now kiddies, the moral of today's chapter was 'never continuously smash into a wall for hours on end. It flippin' well hurts!' Hmmm, why did I say that again? Oh yeah, time filler. Right, after that little burst on insanity (I have too many!) on with the review and explaining part. Take it away, me number 2!
DigiDudette: *In a slightly different voice* OK, that might of made no sense to you whatsoever, but I tried to make Izzy's theory as simple as possible without using finger-puppets! Hope you liked it and don't forget to review! I even came up with this little song version from the B&Q adverts. *Clears throat*... You can do it when you read and review it! See, told ya I did, and it only took me 5 seconds! Finally, 'cause last fic I sacked the narrator, thankfully enough we won't have to listen to him anymore!
Narrator: Oh no?
Both DDs(How that's possible, I'm not sure!): Oh crap! He's back! NOOOOOOO!!!
