Chapter 3:
A Time Of Confussion

As usually, I don't own digimon.

What seemed like forever Kari regain conciseness. She barley was able to stand because she was still too out of it to stand still. After waiting a few minutes to get her steady enough she looked around to see where she was and was shocked at what see saw. She saw the exact same things she saw in her dream. Everything, even how the destoryed buildings looked. Kari couldn't help but by a little bit worried about what was going on.

Shocked by what she was seeing she didn't notice that Gatomon was regaining consciousness. "Hmm Kari. Where are we?" "Gatomon. Your awake. I am not sure where we are but I have a feeling that we been here before." mentioned Kari. She in fact felt like she had been here before. But not because she saw this in her dream. More like she used to know this place.

"What do we do now Kari?" "I don't know Gatomon. But I think we should go somewhere less open. Just in case we get attacked." No sooner after saying that both Kari and Gatomon heard something coming towards them. Not really having to guess about what the notice was Kari remembered that it was the same noise she heard in her dream. And just like her dream came some evil looking digimon with red growing eyes that were coming towards them.

Even though somethings were differnt from her dream, like Gatomon being with her she still couldn't help but be somewhat afarid by the evil digimon. "Gatomon. How about you show them what a armor digimon can do." "Okay Kari. I am ready when you are." "Alright, Digi-amor energizes." "Gatomon armor digivole to...Gatomon!?! Kari, nothing happen." "I know. Lets try it again. Digi-amor energizes." "Gatomon armor digivole to...Gatomon." "Why can't you armor digivole Gatomon?" "I don't know Kari. For some reason I can't." Kari wanted to try to figure out why Gatomon couldn't armor digivole, but she saw that the evil digimon were getting closer to them.

"Lets figure it later. Right now we have to get out of here." Not even to bothering to question her Gatomon quickly followed Kari as they ran as fast as they could away from the evil digimon. Unfortunately, just like her dream the evil digimon were catching up to them. As she was looking back to see how close they were she trip and fell on a rock. Gatomon quickly came over to her and put herself in front of Kari to protect her. The evil digimon just continue to run towards them.

Seeing as their was no chance of her getting out of the way in time Kari just held onto Gatomon and closed her eyes and awaited for them to be crushed by the rampaging digmon. After waiting for the digimon to crush her and Gatomon she noticed that nothing was coming towards them. She and Gatomon finally open their eyes and saw that one of the digimon that looked like a Tryanamon was right in front of them but wasn't moving a inch. Not knowing what to do they just stared at the digimon when it suddenly brust into data. They couldn't figure out what had happen and how they were spared. Kari then saw that right behind where the deleted digimon once stood was a man with a sword to his side.

Kari couldn't believe what she was seeing. Even though somethings were different, this just how her dream was like. The destroyed town, the evil digimon and the mystery man with the sword. They were all just like they were in her dream.

Not bothering to see if they were okay, the mystery man raised his sword and charged the remaining digimon who had stopped running and were somewhat in shock about what happen to the fallen digimon. The mystery man quickly went through the remain digimon with pure easiness. After the fallen digimon burst into data the mystery man looked around to seeing if their was anything else to deal with he put his sword back into it's place and started to walk away and leaving Kari and Gatomon where they where.

Kari quickly got up and went to the mystery man who had save her's and Gatomon's life. "Um,..thank you for saving me from those creatures. But who are you and how were you able to defeat those creatures?" The mystery man ignored her questions and continue to walk away like she was even there. "Hay, what is your problems? Can't you even say something or what?" The mystery man just continue to ignore her and walked away. "Come on Kari. Lets go. It looks like her isn't going to say anything." replied Gatomon. "Wait." yelled the mystery man who had stopped but still his back turn away from them. "Before you go I have to ask you something. What is your name? Your complete name?" "Well, my name is Hikari Kamiya. But my friends call me Kari. Why do you ask?" The mystery man just turned around and when he saw Kari he took a step back in shock. "It can't be. Their is no way it can be her." he mumbled to himself. "Excuse me. But who are you and why do you want to know who I am?" "I think this will help you know who I am better than me telling you." He reached for the end of his hood and slowly pulled it away from his head. When he took it completely off both Kari and Gatomon gasped at who they saw the person under the hood.

"D-Da-Davis!?! Is that really you?" stammered Kari. *I don't believe it. Their is no way it can be him, it just can't be.* But it was indeed Davis. He was much taller, his hair was shorter and what she could figure he had been involved in many battles from all the battle scars that he had, included one that was across his right cheek. But what made Kari fell uncomfortable was the look in his eyes. He no longer had the look of joy and happiness but in his eyes now what the look of sorrow, pain and anger.

Ignoring her question, Davis reached into his coat and pulled what looked like his D3. He put it by his mouth and pressed a button. "Veemon, can you hear me? Respone." He waited a few seconds before he got his response. "I can hear you Davis. What is it?" "Have you finish your assiment you were given?" "Yes I have." "Good. Now meet me at my coordinates. I finish what I came here to do, so come here and we will head back to base. Also be prepared to be shocked because I have some people with me that you won't believe." "Okay Davis. I'll be there shortly." After finishing the communication Davis put his D3 back into his coat and looked out in the horizen and not bothering to look or say anything to Kari or Gatomon.

After a few minutes of uneasy silence Kari decided to try talking with Davis once more. "Davis? Come on Davis say something to me, anything." He didn't say anything to her for a few seconds, until he finally say something. "So you really want me say something? Fine. Who are you and I want the truth." "What? I told you Davis its me, Kari. The one who you went to school with. The one who went to the digital world with you. The one you use to-" "That doesn't mean anything. You can't be Kari. Their is no way you can be." "What do you mean I am not Kari? Look at me. I look like her, I talk like her and don't I got a Gatomon like Kari?" "That doesn't prove anything to me. Both Kari and Gatomon disappeared a longtime ago. But we will find out what is going on." "What do you mean disappeared?" "I will not answer anymore questions. Like I said before, we will find out what is going on, when we arrive at the base. So I recommend that you keep quite until my partner arrives."

The three of them didn't have to wait very long as Veemon arrived and was greeted by Davis. "Sorry it took so long to get here Davis. I had to make sure I wasn't being followed." "Thats alright Veemon. Are you ready to head back to base?" "Sure thing. But didn't you mention something about being shocked about some people you found?" "Oh right. Well I am telling you to be prepared. Come on out you two." he yelled/ordered Kari and Gatomon to come out from the building they were hiding in. When Veemon saw who they were he let out a gasp and wide eyed. "Kari? Gatomon? Is it really you?" Even though it was apparent that Veemon was different from before he still acted the way he always did towards them. "Yes Veemon, its us." "This is great. Everyone thought that you two were gone forever but me and-" "Veemon thats enough." interrupted Davis. "That is enough for now. We should hurry back to base before the others get worried. These two will come with us." With that Davis started to walk off with Veemon shortly coming to his side but both Kari and Gatomon were wondering wither or not to go with them. "I recommend that you come with us. It would be a lot safer for you. Unless you want to be chased by those creatures again, or even something worse." said Davis without turning towards them. Seeing as they didn't have no where else to go they decided to go with Davis and Veemon.

As they were walking Kari was in deep thought. She was trying to sort out the questions she had in her head. *What is going on here? What has to make Davis charge so much? What did Davis mean that I wasn't Kari? And what did he mean that the Kari he knew disappeared a longtime ago?* As those questions went on in her head Kari looked in front of her and saw that both Davis and Veemon leading them someone in silence. She saw that just like Davis, Veemon also change. He was now a more buffer than before and like Davis had his share of battle scars on his body. As she looked away from Veemon she noticed that Davis was giving her a side glance. She was about to say something to him but he turn his head back to the front.

For some reason it hurt Kari that Davis was acting like this to her. It wasn't the comments about her not being who she said she was. She realized that if what Davis was saying was ture she would act like he was. But it was the way he looked at her with those eyes of his. The eyes that were filled with pain, anger and hatered. He looked at her with the same look he gave to everyone that they and the rest of the DigiDestined faced before. That hurt her more than anything that he could ever say.

Both her and Gatomon continued to followed both Davis and Veemon as they went through the ruined city. Kari couldn't help but be upset about what they were seeing. She couldn't believe that someone would acctually do this. Suddenly, Davis and Veemon stopped. Davis then turned around and looked from side to side and from what Kari could tell what to make sure no one was follow them. He then looked directly at Kari and Gatomon. "You two better not tell anyone about what you are going to see. Is that understood?" Both Kari and Gatomon nodded their heads in understanding. After that was done Davis walked back to the front of the group and continue to walk with Veemon, Kari and Gatomon following right behind them.

After a few more minutes they arrived at some deserted old buildings but they were surrounded by a huge solid steel fence. Once they got close to the gate of the fence a came in front of them. "Hold it. How goes there?" yelled a ladies voice from a speaker that was below the camera and for some reason Kari felt like she knew who the voice belonged to. "Oh come on. Its Davis and Veemon. Open up. I think their is someone here you might want to see." The camera immediately went back to its waiting and the gate started to open. After the gate open Davis and Veemon walked in. Feeling a little unsure Kari and Gatomon slowly walked in.

Inside Kari saw that their was a bunch of people with digimon with them running around doing something. Kari continued to look around until she saw Davis and Veemon talking with the guard that was at the gate. She could tell now that the guard was a women and that her and Davis were involve in some kind of conversation that she couldn't quick hear. Then Davis pointed to the guard where Kari and Gatomon were at. When the guard saw who they were she ran over to them and immediately hugged Kari.

"Oh my god. Is it really you Kari? I can't believe it that it is really you." said the lady. Kari couldn't help but be a little confused about what the deal was with this lady. "Oh excuse me. But who are you?" The lady took a step back and blinked her eyes in shock. "You don't remember me Kari." Kari just shook her head. "It's me, Yolei." Kari was shock. Finally Kari looked the lady over. She had long lavender hair and big glasses. "Yolei. Its really you. I can't believe it. You look so differnt." "Well what did you suspect. This is what six years will do to you." Kari could hardly believe what Yolei just said. "What do you mean six years?"
