Four They say War will be the death of mankind, yet it's mankind's own ignorance that causes War and other problems

______________________________________________

Well the Dark Ocean has just broken a record, most deserted land ever. Other times lately Kari's been stuck in some kind of weird scenario, but nothing has happened since she began walking through the Ilsand.

"Hello"

Lonelyness wasn't on Kari's mind this time. For once she wanted to be alone, all by herself.

"Hey Kari, tag, you're it"said Davis tagging her.

"Huh, Davis, oh I see, it's a trick"

"Catch me if you can Kari"

"You're not fooling me Dark Ocean"

"Kari, what are you talk-

"Don't play games with me, I've had all I can stand, FACE ME YOU COWARDS, if you have the guts"exploded Kari.

Davis dissapeared. Scubbamon appeared, dozens.

"Bring it on Scubbamon, I will defeat you"

The Scubbamon walked forward, ready to grab her.

"Powers of the light, last time was a mistake, but now I need you, if you care for me, arrise so I can destroy this darkness"

Kari glowed, the Scubbamon stepped back.

"I have comeplete faith in the power I hold Scubbamon, with it, I will crush you"

Kari pointed both of her hands out in front of her, and pushed physical force into the attack. But the light soon disapeared before it did ANY damage at all.

"Oh no, what happened"

"You can not use your powers for long, because the darkness within you is still growing, you have yet to conquer it" ***************Flashback*************************** "Don't take me, I just don't think I can stand it this time"

"Don't give up"

"You have to fight"

The attacks of the Digimon grew futile, as Blossomon seemed to grow off of Kari's negative enerygy.

"Kari you gotta talk to me, or I can't help"

"The darkness won't leave me alone, I'll never be strong enough, it's going to win"

Yolie slapped her.

"That's enough of that nonsense, of course you're strong enough, you're the strongest person I know, we'll fight it together, the darkness wil never beat you, do you hear me"

"Thanks Yolie, you're a true friend" **************End Flashback************************ "I did conquer my darkness, Yolie helped me"

"If you conquered it, then why are you still here"

"I don't know, who are you"

"Who I am in unimportant to you child, it's my master you should fear"

"Who is this master? So far all I've heared is talk, I have yet to see this master"

"You shall meet my master soon enough Kari Kamiya"

"What does your "master" want with me"

"The power, your power"

"My power, but how"

"He will use the darkness that grows in you, once you've crossed to the darkness, he can use your ability to travle between worlds, and become supreme master of everything in the universe, all will bow beneath his feet, get ready Kari, my master will be the ruler of all"

Kari felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck before she fell to the ground. ************************************************ "The Dark spore was implanted master"said a Scubbamon.

He, or better "IT" merely nodded. Dragomon was one of the few Digimon denied of the abilty to talk, he could only roar.

"Shall I personaly escort those other brats away from miss Kari"

While Dragomon could not speak, he could make his wishes clear. He nodded.

"Okay then" *********************************************** Kari woke up in bed with a jolt. It was night time, the apartment seemed empty except for her. Where could her parents have gone?

She stood up, suprisingly feeling fine despite the wound she suffered before.

"Tai, Mom, Dad, anyone home"

"House is empty, luring your family away is too easy"

Kari looked behind her, somekind of Digimon was there.

"You, your voice, I heared it in the Dark Ocean"

"Allow me to introduce myself, might as well now, I'm ShadowMyotismon"

"ShadowMyotismon"

"That's right, oh, don't bother trying to fight me off, I'm an Ultimate, I can easily capture you, so just make it easy on yourself"

"Grr"

"Oh, and don't think you can use your powers to defeat me, your powers can't work now, not with a Dark spore inside of you"

"Dark Spore"

"Yes, now your powers are rendered useless against me, just surrender yourself and make it easy, I will take any measures to assure you cooraperate. Of course with a Dark Spore inside you, it'll be simple anyway"

He snapped his fingers, Kari screamed as a massive pain went off in the back of her neck, she tried to withstand it, but she kneeled to the ground.

"Now Kari, feel as it feeds on your inner darkness, and spits it out"

Kari felt a numbness, she felt no pain, but she felt too weak to stand. She could feel all of her good feelings vanishing, fading. Now the desire for power took her over.

"Ha ha, I think it worked, but it's time for a test run" *************************************************** "I can't believe it, a false call, the nerve"said Mrs Kamiya as they stepped in front of their apartment door, and entered.

"I'll check on Kari mom"

"OK honey"

Tai stepped into the room.

"SHE'S GONE" *************************************************** All the DD(with the exception of Ken who didn't live there)searched everywhere for Kari.

"Kari"yelled Yolei.

"Kari, it's me, T.K"

"Kari, come on out"said Patamon.

"Hey it's your pal Agumon"said Agumon.

"Kari"called Hawkmon. All the Digimon have returned for some odd reason. It happened not too long after the incident with Kari's powers. **************************************************** "Sorry Davis, I'll tell you if I see her, bye"

Ken hung up the phone and sighed. It had been so long since Ken had seen, much less talked to Davis or any of the other DD.

"What's the matter former emperor"

Ken spun around, it was Kari, in his room! He reached for the phone.

"Uh uh, I no longer need those weaklings Ken, to believe one little spore could unlock such power"

"THE DARK SPORE"

Ken was in shock, he knew Kari went to the Dark ocean like he used to, but now she was victim to the Dark spore.

"Kari, you KNOW what happened when that spore took me over, you must let me get it out of you"

"And become weak like you, never"

"She's right Kenny"

ShadowMyotismon appeared, his voice sounded like that of a member of a street gang.

"Kari belongs to the Dark ocean, with her we no longer need you Ken, you're a loose end, loose ends should either be tied up, or cut off, I think we'll cut it off, a loose end like you just adds on weight, now Kari, destroy Ken Itchi-jojy"

"What do I do"
