Authors notes: To answer a few peoples questions I am going to bring in the other digidestined but they aren't going to play big part in it at all! I'm making Kaz a nickname that Tk calls Kari, it sort of struck me one day that he should call her that. I'm not going to say any more as it will spoil the story! :)

"What did you say?"
"I said I might be able to get us there."
"How? Tell us how Ken?" Tai said walking over to stand in front of Ken.
"Well the last time I got there was because I was evil. And then I opened it with help from the others to send Daemon back. It's the darkness inside me."
"But you're not dark." Yolei pointed out, "You're a good person, who was just confused."
"He means the dark spore inside of him." Izzy said looking up from his laptop, "If he can connect to the dark spore then he will be able to open a gate to that dimension."

Tk moaned and slowly opened his eyes. He tried to move and found that his hands were chained to the wall. Looking down he saw his feet were also chained. He was in the room which held the kijutsu ido, a moan from his left caught his attention. Kari was beside him and was slowly waking up. She opened her crimson eyes and saw Tk, "What happened?"
"Er" Tk tried to recall the memory. A group of pictures flashed before his eyes. "Daemon and Dragomon killed the kyouchous and tried to pull us and our digimon down the corridor. They had to knock us out in the end because ewe were fighting so much." Kari nodded, she had a set face but her eyes betrayed her feelings. She was frightened and Tk would be lying if he said he wasn't. He looked up as Dragomon entered, he held his arms wide open and smiled a spine chilling smile.
"How are you digidestined? I know I said I was going to kill you, but I have a better use." Tk glared at this digimon, this thing had to be stopped. Dragomon saw Tk's glare and returned it.
"I think you will be the one I use as bait." He growled, he turned to Kari, "And you will read the kijutsu ido for me. Seeing as you obviously can read it and I can't seem too." Dragomon stated as he walked up to the girl and placed a clawed finger under her chin. She spat in his eye, "Go to Hell!" Dragomon roared and took a few steps away from Kari. He shot her a glare before turning and walking out the room, "Come on Daemon we have work to do." The second they were out the room and down the corridor Kari turned to Tk, "How are we going to get out of this?" Tk looked round trying to find a way out when his eyes landed on two small cages. Two balls of fluff were in each, one white and one orange. A small smile dawned Tk's face and it grew slightly bigger as the one of the two balls began to move. Patamon rose his head and looked around for a second before his eyes fixed on Tk.
"What's going on?"
"We need to get out!"
Patamon nodded and sucked in a huge amount of breath, and aiming carefully he shot it across the room. The chain that held Tk's right arm snapped, a second attack and the right one snapped as well. Seconds later and Tk and Kari were free, Gatomon picked her and lock and once she was free she picked Patamon's. Peeking out the door Tk looked right and left seeing nothing he motioned for the others to follow him and they ran down the corridor.
Kari felt fear coil itself round her heart as she saw what stood before them. They had reached a door, a circular door. The door led out, but that meant having to swim to the surface from the bottom of the ocean. And they somehow doubted they could do that.
"There has to be a way!" Tk whispered desperately, turning to look at the blonde Kari could see the hope imprinted in his eyes but it was fading quickly. There was a noise from behind and the four turned to see four akuzetsu standing there. They walked forward taking hold of one of the four partners standing there each. They covered their mouths and held them tightly and opened the door. Kari screamed and shut here eyes not daring to look at her death. But she didn't feel water enter her lungs and opening an eye slightly she gasped. The akuzetsu were holding them and swimming to the surface of the water. There were bubbles rushing past them but the water didn't get in her eyes of enter her mouth or nose, and she somehow was able to breath. The lulling of the water slowly made her want to shut her eyes, but she was pulled back to reality when they came to the water's surface. The akuzetsu released them and the digidestined and their partners swam over to the beach. Pulling themselves out of the water they turned to see the creatures pulled under the water before they came flying out hitting the cliffs above them. Scrambling up the beach the four friends ran as fast as they could knowing who would be coming up. There was a roar and a gigantic splash and Kari looked over her shoulder to see Dragomon and Daemon emerging from the water.
"Get back here you little pests!" Tk turned to see the two digimon slowly climbing out the water, he looked over at Kari pulling his digivice out. She smiled and pulled hers out. The two digimon were engulfed in light and came out in their digivolved ultimate forms. Magna Angemon and Angewomon stood before them, they glared at the digimon before flying towards them as fast as they could. Angewomon's arrows streaked through the air, hitting their targets. The two digimon bent over double then straitened up again and throw some attacks back. The angels were thrown into the cliffs, rubble went everywhere. They pulled themselves away from the rock and attacked again, hurting the dark digimon slightly before getting thrown back into the cliffs. This happened again and again, fear began to rise inside of her chest. The two angels were thrown to the ground once more, they picked themselves up and flew towards the demons. They locked in each side trying to gain some power over the other. Kari started to shake with fear, Angewomon was bruised and battered there was no way that she could win her battle. She felt a pair of warm arms wrap round her shoulder and a soft voice whisper in her ear, "I'm sure they'll win this." Kari saw Angewomon take a blow to her stomach and turned and buried her head in his shoulder.
"No they won't."
"Yes they will" Tk pulled her away and held her at arms length, "Wherever there's darkness there's light. Your that light, but it won't shine unless you believe." Tk or Kari hadn't notice but Tk's chest had started to glow gold. Kari nodded and smiled slightly before turning round and looking at the digimon, "Yes there's always light . . . . . and hope." Kari's chest light up a light pink and Kari looked down to see the light shining through her shirt, her crest was appearing on her chest. Glancing over at Tk she saw the same ting was happening to him.

Ken stood in front of the computer screen his digivice clamped in his hand. He shut his eyes and blocked everything else out, then started to think. The fun of watching the little digimon run away from him, making them work fro him non stop. As the dark thoughts swirled in his head the pain began to bite. It raged inside his head and he dropped to his knees, his whole body was on fire. Tears streamed down his face, his hand started to shake just as the portal started to open. A scream of pain escaped his lips, he was about to give up when he felt a pair of warm arms wrap round his shoulders. Somebody else's hand helped hold onto his digivice, "You can do it Ken, I know you can!" He nodded as Yolei tightened her grip around him, the small speck that was the portal started to grow bigger. It grew big enough and eight people and digidestined ran through. Sora turned and looked over at Yolei and Ken, "Shut the portal we'll call you if we need to get out." Yolei nodded and the girl pulled Ken's digivice from his hand and the portal closed. Sora turned and ran towards the others, they were in a forest, a dead forest. The trees were bare and everything was dark. Sora shivered and looked around, "I thought the others said it was an ocean."
"Maybe it's added a forest." Matt said sarcastically, Sora glanced over at Mimi who was smiling. If Matt was being rude and sarcastic then that meant that he wasn't worrying so much. Like the fear was passing now that they were on their way to find Tk and Kari.
"That" Tai added pushing aside some branches, "Or they just missed the forest the first few times they've come here." They continued to walk forward, Izzy typing on his computer as he walked.
"Iz, stop typing." Tai hissed, Izzy obeyed and the boy cocked his head to the side. The sound of fighting reached their ears, Tai broke into a run, Matt following him. The sound got louder as they ran through the trees. They ran into the open and took a couple of steps forward to see their younger siblings further up the beach. Looking up he saw Angewomon and Magna Angemon fighting with two other digimon.
~*~
Kari screamed as their digimon were thrown away once more, the two crashed into the beach. A cloud of sand floated through the air, when it finally settled they saw their digimon laying their crumpled their eyes closed. Daemon and Dragomon smiled and ran towards them, intending on finishing them off. Tk's and Kari's screams ran through the air. The light surrounding Tk and Kari intensified and the same light covered Angewomon and Magna Angemon. They started to change, growing in looks and power.
"Seraphimon!"
"Magnadramon!" Angewomon had digivolved into a giant pink dragon looking creature. While Magna Angemon had been coated in golden armour.
"We will give you a suggestion" Seraphimon boomed out, "Leave Tk, Kari and the rest of the digidestined alone." Dragomon's face broke into a frown, it appeared that he didn't like being told what to do. He ignored Seraphimon's warning and flew towards him and Magnadramon. They both glared and got their attacks ready, just as the digimon reached them they let rip. Seraphimon kicked Daemon in the stomach sending him into the ocean. "Fire tornado" Magnadramon sent Dragomon to join Daemon in the ocean.
~*~
Surprise was still etched on the eight other digidestined's faces. They stared as the two digimon rose higher in the sky staring down at where Daemon and Dragomon had disappeared under the water. A gigantic roar emitted from the depths of the ocean and our rose Dragomon then Daemon. They stood there glaring at the two heavenly digimon. Water dripping of them though it seeped to be evaporating off them as they seemed to boil with anger. Dragomon pointed a clawed finger at the pair, "You will pay fro that dearly."
"I think not, I believe you will be the ones paying for not only what you have done to Tk and Kari but for what you have done to the people of this land!"
Tai and the other seven digidestined could practically feel the hatred flying off Dragomon, Kari could feel it though. She doubled over in pain as the darkness hit her. Tk grabbed her as she fell but found it hard to stand himself. The world was beginning to spin and sweat was dripping down his face. Seraphimon glance over to Tk and Kari and saw his partner slowly lowering Kari to the ground. A frown covered his face and he turned back to the two evil digimon.
"Ready Magnadramon?"
"Defiantly."
Seven balls of golden light appeared around Seraphimon in a half circle. The light began to grow brighter and brighter. They reached a point when the light was so bright that no one was able to look at it at this point Seraphimon whispered, "Heavens gate." At the same time power was growing in Magnadramon's mouth, it was a brilliant pink. She murmured Dragon fire and the pink light streamed from her mouth towards the pair of evil digimon. At the same time the seven ball of light surrounding Seraphimon exploded, shooting the light forwards. Golden and pink merged together and the digimon had no time to escape. They were caught in a blaze of bright light and the last thing they heard where their screams of pain as something holy toughed there souls.
It took a minute for the light to finally die down. By then Kari and Tk had regained a lot of their strength now that the evil that had gone. Looking round Kari noticed the kyouchous and akuzetsus coming out of the water. She bit her lip, they had destroyed Dragomon but that hadn't turned the land back to normal. She glanced over at Tk not knowing what to do. There was a look of hope and determination shimmering in his blue eyes and glancing over at her he smiled and looked up at their digimon. Seraphimon and Magnadramon de-digivolved returning to their rookie forms. But the light didn't vanish it floated back over to Tk and Kari and circled them .Tk stuck out a hand and the light flew over to it and engulfed it. Kari did the same, somehow now knowing what to do. The pair stared into the sky and began to concentrate, Tk thinking of all the times he had clung onto his hope, of everything that was dear to him. Kari thought of the bright light that she saw in people's souls of her brother and friends and all the wonderful things they did and Tk . . . . .
With each passing thought the light grew stronger until you could no longer see the pair. And slowly they began to rise into the air, turning slowly in circle picking up speed the higher they went. The light suddenly turned a brilliant white and spread out from them. It covered everyone and everything, and started to die down as Tk and Kari descended towards the ground.
Kari opened her eyes to look into Tk's. And she blinked when she found them their true colour, not the dull blushish grey the Dark Ocean had made them out to be. Turning around she blinked and smiled. The sand was a golden colour and the trees where no longer dead but bright and full of fruits. She turned round properly and noticed a child running across the sand towards her and Tk. She had brown frizzy hair that went half way down her back, and sparkling hazel eyes. She had a pair of pointed ears and a light blue gem on her forehead, she had a faded purple dress that was ripped and tattered. And when she reached them she stopped and looked up.
"Thank you so much for helping us!"
And with those words she wrapped her arms round Kari's legs and hugged her tightly. When the girl let her go she bent down on her knees and looked into the small child's eyes. They seemed to bubble like air coming to the surface of some water.
"Er, not meaning to be rude but who and what are you?" The small child giggled, "My name is Sparkle, and this is the world of the water people and as you can guess we are the water people
. We have the ability to stay under water for any amount of time we wish, we can talk and swim under water very well and our we can hear for great distances but not so well above the ground. We live on the ground though, and gather food from plants as well as from the water. We lived here peacefully until he came."
"Alright, that is fine with me, but may I ask why you have stones on your forehead?"
"This indicates our age. The lighter the blue the younger you are."
Kari nodded and stood up just as the digidestined ran towards them.
"KARI!"
"TK!"
The pair spun round to be pulled into crushing embraces from Tai and Matt.
"Don't you ever do that to me ever again! I was so worried!" Matt whispered into Tk's ear as he hugged him, the boy nodded his head. When he peeked over his brother's shoulder he noticed children and grown-ups standing there. A man smiled and stepped forward.
"Thank you for saving our world. We wish to keep you here no longer, you are allowed to come to our world any time. And if you need our help you only have to ask."
Tk pulled away from his brother and nodded and looked over at Matt hoping he had a way back. But Izzy had already seen to that, once the light had faded he had e-mailed Ken telling them they needed to get back. A tiny pinprick had appeared and was starting to grow, peering in they could see Ken and Yolei standing there. Kari and Tk waved and whispered their good byes as they stepped through the portal back into their own world.
I don't know if Heavens gate is the circle thingie I'm just saying it is, and I don't know what Magnadramon's attacks look like either. I'm just making it up as I go along as I've never seen what they look like but I've found out what they are called. The next chapter that will tie up the loose strings will be coming soon!
