Turn Of Events (Part 1): Something New



Hello again fellow fanfiction readers. I have finally have the next chapter to this story. On a that note, for the next two or three chapters (Haven't decided let) will be a little mini series. Read it and enjoy. I don't own digimon.


(Kari's P.O.V.)

One Week Later...

Things have pretty much been normal, I mean as normal as this place can be. Except for a few little battles nothing has really happened. Which was causing us to be a little on edge since we didn't know why Darkmon hasn't send any of his main soldiers into battle? The only theory that we could come up with is that he had to be preparing for something big.

If that wasn't enough to think about, I had to figure out what is happening between me and Davis. Ever since that night that he gave me that kiss on the check, nothing has really been the same. Every time we saw each other we would get all nervous and quiet. We still talk to one another but we never really talked about that night and whenever are hands brushes against one another we would quickly step away from one another and wouldn't talk until some of the uneasiness goes away.

I know I was glad to have the old Davis back. But after what has happened I don't know what to think. I mean, I still consider him one of my closest friends. However, I couldn't help but think that their could be something more between us than we actually knew. Could their actually be more than friendship between me and Davis? Could it be affection?

For some reason, having more than a friendly relationship with Davis didn't seem too bad of an idea to me. I mean, I knew he had a crush on me when we were longer. But when me and TK announced that we were a couple Davis didn't make a scene by yelling or starting a fight with TK right there and then. He simply congratulated us and wished us a long and happy relationship. Showing that act of maturity made me see that Davis had really changed from the annoying, egotistical and obnoxious to a caring and sincere person who would sacrifice his own personal happiness so others can be happy. Even though I knew that a lot has happened over the six years since I disappeared but I can't help but wonder if me and Davis can have anything more than friendship.

"Kari. Earth to Kari. Are you in there or not?" Snapping out of my train of thought I saw that Gatomon was looking at me in concern. "Are you alright Kari?" "Of course I'm okay Gatomon. I was thinking about something." "If you say so. But shouldn't we be meeting with the others right about now?" "Your right Gatomon. I must have lost track of time." Getting moving, we rushed over to where me and some others were supposed to meet with Tai so he could tell me about some kind of mission I would be going on. We finally reached the meeting room and as I was trying to catch my breath I saw that besides me, Tai and our digimon, the only other people in the room was TK and Davis, along with their digimon.

"So nice for you to finally join us Kari." "Sorry Tai. I was so busy that I totally forgot about the meeting." "Its alright. Lets just get to the reason why we are here." Once we were all sited Tai rolled out a map to someplace and their was a red circle surrounding a certain area. "From what we were able to gathered we have discovered one of Darkmon's factories that make the control spires." "It looks like that Tai." mentioned Davis. "Do we know what kind of defenses do they have?" "We were able to confirm that their is only a few guards protecting the place. So, I am suggesting that just you three should be the only ones going out there and destroy the factory." "But why do I need to go with them? If it is true that this base isn't heavily guarded then why would they need me with them?" "The reason you are going with them Davis is because if our information is wrong than you'll be there to back them up." "None at all." "Alright than. You will be heading out in one hour. I suggest that you get yourself prepared."

With that said we left to get ourselves prepared. TK and Patamon went off to get supplies for the mission. I on the other hand, went off to see what Davis was doing. I went to his room and after I knocked on the door I heard someone say come in. Opening the door I peaked in and saw that Davis was on the ground doing one handed push ups while Veemon sat on top of him and was counting off the
number of push ups he was doing.

"43, 44, 45. Just five more Davis." Waiting until he was finished me and Gatomon down on the edge of his bed. Once he was done Veemon got off him to allow him to get up as well. "Hey Kari. Why are you here instead of getting ready for our mission?" Now their was a problem. I didn't think of anything good to tell him why I was here. "I was just worried about what was ahead of us and I needed to talk to someone about it. That is if you don't mind me bothering you." I quickly blurted out. It might not have been the complete truth but it somewhat true. "It's no problem Kari. You are never a bother to me." He came over and took a seat besides me. "Don't worry about being scared. You'll have me and TK watching your back and I am for sure not going to let anything happen to you." "Thank you Davis. I really appreciate that."

For I don't know how long me and Davis was talk. Nothing special. Just the regular stuff you would talk about with a friend. I wanted to mention what I thought about the night Davis kissed me but decided not to say anything because we had our heads cleared for the mission. Soon it was time for us to head out. Davis digivolved Veemon to Ex-Veemon while me and TK chose to fly on Nefertimon and Pegasusmon. Thanks to the digimon we arrived at the factory in no time.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, except for it being too quite. We cautiously walked towards the base and still their wasn't anything stopping us. "Is it just me or are you guys having the same feeling that something isn't right here?" "Your right Kari. Their should have been some guards coming after us by now. The only conclusion that I can come up with is that its...Everyone get back. Its a trap." No sooner than Davis said that, a huge group of what resembled to be Devidramon, only that they were slightly smaller and were light gray instead of black, surrounded us. "What in the world are those things?"

"They are called ShadowDevidramon. We combined our mutant formula with some Devidramon that we captured." said a voice from behind the digimon. Coming into view I remembered who this digimon was and by the anger in Davis' face, I could see that he remembered him as well. "Frogmon, you bastard. I should've known that you were behind all these mutant digimon coming to
existence." "You are correct Motomiya. I was the one who created the mutant chemical." "You were also the one who sent Piedotismon to our base in an attempt in recruiting me, weren't you?" "Yes, I was. You may not have seen it but I was trying to do you a favor."

"A favor?!? So I would become a low down dirty creature like you?" "Can't you see that I was trying to give you what you always wanted?" "And what might that be?" "Power. You always wanted to become the strongest. Wasn't that the reason why you made yourself a human weapon? Can't you see? If you join me you could be the strongest being only second to Lord Darkmon. Join us and live out your purpose in life." Instead of come up with another retort, Davis just started laughing. "What's so funny?" "You are. Did you actually believe that I only care about power? You are more of a fool than I thought you were." "How dare you speak to me like that you insolent fool. I could have you killed at anytime I feel like."

"Than why haven't you? I'll tell you why. It's because deep down you know you can't beat me on your own. Darkmon already knows this. That's why he wants me to join him. So I would become his enforcers and do all his dirty work. But unlike you, I prefer not to be a mindless puppet. I fight for what I believe is right and for the people I can about." He quickly gave me a glance from the corner of his eye. "Very well then. I sad to say you must be destroyed along with your friends."

From behind a ShadowDevidramon leapt at Davis. Not even looking back, Davis took out his sword and pushed it back under his arm which stabbed right into the ShadowDevidramon. All of us, except for Ex-Veemon, were surprise at what he just did. After taking his sword out he looked towards Frogmon while the Devidramon burst into data. "Apparently you taught these creatures to fight from behind, like you do." "Attack them. Destroy every last one of them."

On that command all the ShadowDevidramon went after us. Fortunately we were able to avoid the first charge. We then separated, seeing that we would have a better chance taking them out if we divide their forces. Thanks to Nefertimon's quickness and some help from Ex-Veemon, we were able to take out the two that followed us. The same was happening with TK as he and Pegasusmon took out the three that followed them. But for Davis, the remaining mutant digimon went after him. Knowing that we would just get in the way we landed away from them and watched as the fight continue. As this was going on, Frogmon, who was staying away from the battle, was laughing at Davis' predicament.

"Excellent my pets. Destroy him. Don't stop until you break every last bone in his body." Despite that Davis was heavily out number, he continued to fight. Valiantly continued on. But whenever he was able to take out one of them or about finish one off, another would come from behind and knock him down. Finally, the numbers game was becoming too much for Davis. He had several cuts on his
body, including one above his right eye.

"What's wrong with Davis you guys? Shouldn't he be able to take care of the ShadowDevidramon?" "Hey would Kari." answered Ex-Veemon. "Its just that he hasn't fully recovered from his fight with Piedotismon. It usually takes him seven days to recovered from a major fight. But since he only got a total of six days, he doesn't have his full strength let. That is why he is having so much trouble." "Then why are we just standing here when we could be helping him?" "Because we are still exhausted from are fights. Besides, Davis doesn't like anyone getting involved in his battles."

Seeing that we would helpless to help, we could only watch on as Davis continued to fight on bravely but was slowly losing the fight. As we continued to watch on a deep anger started to build up inside me and with ever scream of pain I heard from Davis it grew. During all this a pink aura similar to the one that Davis had only smaller. TK and the digimon soon noticed and were trying to question on
what I was doing but I was so consumed in my anger that I paid no mined to them. Concentrating on only saving Davis I focused on the enemies and the words, "Rays of Light" just came flowing from my mouth. As soon as I said those words the aura around me became pink glowing beams that went straight towards the fight between Davis and the ShadowDevidramon.

Being too occupied in the attack, the ShadowDevidramon didn't notice the beams until a pink shadow covered them. One of them was immediately hit by one of the beams and was instantly burst into data. Not wanting to wined up like their fallen comrade, all of them tried to fly away. Some of them were destroyed as they fled but a few of them were able to escape and along the way they grabbed Frogmon.

With them gone it only left me, TK, the digimon and Davis behind. Davis finally was able to get himself back up and walk to us. But he, like the rest of them, could just looked at me in shock as the aura around me faded away. Once it did I looked at my hands in shock. "Davis, how did I just do that?" "I don't know Kari. I just don't know."


I finished it. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Expect the next chapter to be up around the end of next month. So, until then, see ya.
