Chapter 16:
Return To The Past!
Kari's Farewell



The end is near. Here is the second to last chapter to this story and just by looking at the title of this chapter you probably already know what it's going to be about. Like I say in all of the others chapter, I don't own digimon.


Kari's POV...

Two Weeks Later...

Things have gotten pretty peaceful since Davis was able to defeat Darkmon. After the final battle we returned to the base where we had a huge celebration. When that was done we held a special ceremony for all those who had their lives ended because of the war. It was because of their sacrifice that allowed us to continue fighting.

Once things calmed down all the DigiDestined, except the ones in my team went their separate ways to help fix the world in their own ways. Since then me and my friends have been taken it easy as we decided to take a break before we went back to work. I currently was watching the sun on the roof of my brother's and Sora's house with Gatomon beside me. As I continued to look on I began to wonder about the course of my life. I mean, ever since I arrived in this time a lot has happen to me. Getting involved in a war with a thing that was the definition of evil and getting super power just to name a few.

Apparently I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear someone calling my name. "Hello, earth to Kari, do you hear me?" Looking down from the roof I saw Davis. "What are you doing up there?" "Just thinking. Care to join me?" "Sure, why not." He jumped into the air and after doing a flip he landed perfectly beside me. "Show off." "Hey, you know me. I can't help it. But any ways what were you thinking about? It had to be really important for you being so spaced out as you were." "I was just thinking about what has happened since I came to this time. It's hard to imagine that it has been only a little over two months since I arrived in this time. Where did all the time go?"

"It must of past us by while we were having fun." Davis answered sarcastically. "Guess so. Now what is their for us to do now?" "To be honest I don't know. I've been so focused on defeating Darkmon that nothing else mattered. But with him now gone I have to find something else to do in my life." "It looks like we both have some soul searching to do." "Sure does. Lets hope that we won't have to search for long."

We continued to talk for a while until we heard Tai calling us to join him and the others in the control room for something important. Jumping off of the roof we went to the control room where he and the others were waiting for us. "So Tai, what is this important thing that you needed to tell us?" "Well, this discussion mostly concerns you Kari." "Me? What are you talking about?"

"I'm saying that we may have fond a way for you to return to your own time. To be blunt, their might be a way for you to go home." I couldn't believe what I heard. Their might actually be a way for me to go back to my own time. "Just how did you get this idea?" "It was really Izzy who found out about it. So I think he should be the one to tell you what this idea is." "Thank you Tai. To answer your question Kari, after Darkmon was taken care of, me and some others search through research labs and discovered plans for some kind of time portal. Looking at the plans move carefully I saw that it was indeed a time portal and that it could send anything or anyone to any time that they wish."

'That's fantastic. With those plans you can actually make a time portal so that I can go back to my own time?" "Yes, I could make one. But I also found out a few problems with it." "What type of problems are you referring to?" "The first one is that I can only guarantee you a one way, one shot trip. Once you go through that's it, you would be able to comeback." "Okay, that's no problem. I want it like that. Is their anything else?" "Unfortunately yes. If you do use the time portal the powers that you received from the digi egg of light will leave you and return to the digi egg."

Now this was a problem. I have gotten accustom to my new powers and it would be hard to give them up now. "Are you positive of what you say is true Izzy?" "Yes I am. Choice wisely Kari, because either you go back to your own time or stay here in this one is a choice that you have to make not us." It only took me a moment to come up with my decision. "Then I guess that means I will be heading home. How long will it take you to make the time portal?" "About three days if I get right at it." "That will be good enough. Until then, I say that until its finish we enjoy ourselves. I would like to leave on a good note."


Three Days Later...

Living up to his word, Izzy was able to complete the time portal and it was now time for me to return to my own time. Now the only thing left to do was to say my final goodbyes to the others.

"Well, I guess this is it. Can't say that it was all fun and games but I wouldn't change it for anything." "That goes double for me." added Tai as he and Sora were in front of the others. "Before I start saying goodbye, I need to know that when I go back to my time and prevent the digi egg that contains Darkmon from ever hatching will it prevent this time from ever happening?" "I'm afraid not. This timeline has been altered too much to be effected. But that is fine by us. We have the ability to restore this world from all of the destruction it has suffered. So don't you worry Kari. You just return to your own time so that history won't repeat itself."

"I promise you Tai that I will do everything that I can to keep what has happen to take place." "I'm sure that you will Kari. Now get going and save the world." "Right. Farewell my friends. I hope that you spend the rest of your lives in peace." Saying that me and Gatomon headed towards the time portal and just before I went through it I looked back one last time to see my friends bidding me farewell. Looking more closely I could see Davis giving me a smirk of confidence and a thumbs up. Returning the gesture I jumped into the time portal with Gatomon close behind.. While I was passing through the time stream I thought back to everything that me and my friends' future selfs, and despite that they weren't the people from my own time, I still consider them my second family.

****


After a wild and crazy ride me and Gatomon finally left the time stream. When we regained our composer we realized that we were now back in the room that we were in before we were sent to the future. "Are we really back Kari?" "Yes we are Gatomon. It's hard to believe that we are actually back." It was then that we heard something coming. With neither of us prepared we decided that it was better to hide and see what was going to happen.

I was shocked to see both Bugmon and Frogmon coming in and they were carrying a huge container. For a second I thought that they returned to life until I realized that these two weren't the ones that Davis destroyed in the future. Staying hidden I listened closely to what they were talking about. "Can you believe the strange things that has happen today?" asked Bugmon. "I know what you mean. Because of that stupid girl and that digimon of hers it delayed our plans. But fortunately for us they have been taken care of and we are able to continue with the plan."

Placing the container down they reach in and puled out a huge digi egg. It didn't take that long to figure out what was inside that egg. "With this digi egg we will have every human and digimon bow to our feet." Knowing what would happen if that digi egg did hatch I couldn't just stand by and watch. But with my powers gone I had to go to the next best thing. "We have to stop them Gatomon. So why don't we go back to the basics?" "I'm with you Kari. Lets show them what we're made of." Pulling out my D3 out I pointed it towards Gatomon, who was engulfed in a pink light. "Gatomon, digivolve to....Angewomon."

As soon as she was done digivolving she charged into action. All of this didn't go unnoticed by Frogmon and Bugmon as they immediately went on the defensive. Looking on I could see that even though Angewomon was at the ultimate level she was still having trouble taking on both of them. Finally being overwhelmed, Angewomon was knocked to the ground with Frogmon and Bugmon ready for more. "Well, look at this. It seems like our previous guests have returned. Why don't we take care of them....permanently?"

Not being able to do anything to stop them I looked away and waited for the end to come. Just when it looked like the end was near, two attacks came in between us. Turning my attention to where the attacks came from I saw Ex-Veemon and Angemon. "Now isn't this unexpected." said Davis as he and TK showed up from behind their digimon. Shortly after Yolei, Ken and Cody showed up on top of their digimon. For a while I wasn't able to say anything as I was taken back in seeing the friends from my own time for the first time in so long. Remembering what had to be done I snapped out of it.

"Guys, we have to stop these two from sending that digi egg from going through that time portal." They all looked at me as if I lost my mind. "Their is no time to explain. Just know that if they are successful and that egg does hatch it could lead to the end of both worlds." Believing what I was saying they got their digimon ready to attack and after recovering Angewomon joined them. "Ready yourself you guys. Put everything that you got in stopping them. Now...fire." Gathering the energy that was needed they fired their attacks at once.

Unable to stop the full force of the digimons' attacks, Frogmon and Bugmon could look on and watch as the attacks consumed both of them, as well as incinerating Darkmon's digi egg. At last the final traces of Darkmon were gone for good. When it was all over and done the digimon dedigivolve to their lower forms and I walked over to the others. "Can you please tell us what this was all about Kari?" "Believe me guys, it's a long story."


Then their was one. The next chapter will be the final one of this story and as of right now it is going to be a short one. I promise though that I will have it out within two or three days after this chapter. So, until then, just relax and wait for it.
