Seven Weapons are our ultimate defense, but also our greatest destroyer ___________________________________________________

Kari could make out nothing as she was carried away on a stretcher, along with Cody, who seemed to be unconcious at the moment.

Only physical feeling, no emotions, no thoughts, just seeing, hearing, just being there. it was worse then being dead. She was just there, she didn't have a life, she just, existed. She could hear the yelling, but couldn't make out the words. _________________________________________________

The other DD were on there way to the hospital. Cody layed in a bed next to Kari's. Cody's condition was merely a high fever according to the docotr, and that he will be returned home for rest once he wakes up. Kari seemed to be in some sort of coma.

The doctors couldn't quite make it out, this wasn't a regualr coma. Tai sat beside her, hoping to get her to react.

"Hey Kari, someone's here to see ya"

Gatomon jumped on Kari's lap.

"AGH"

"It's okay nurse, she's friendly, and quiet"said Tai demandingly towards Gatomon.

The nurse merely nodded and walked out. In walked Davis, her first visiter.

"Hey Kari, the others are here, but the nurse is only letting us in one at a time. Listen, I was honest when I said I gave up my crush on you, you believe me, right"

No response.

"Okay, see you later"said Davis nervously. He walked out.

That's twice she's dissed me, I guess she really dosen't like me, even as just a friend!

Ken was next to walk in.

"Hey Kari, um, how are ya feeling"

No response.

"C'mon Kari awnser him"said Tai annoyed.

Kari couldn't, she just layed there, she would've responded if she could. She tried talking, but she could barely move her mouth, barely, weird sounds came out of her mouh, not inhuman, just stutters.

"I'm sorry Kari, who did this to her Tai"

"Dragomon, master of the Dark ocean"

"I should've known, what does it want with Kari, me I understand, I have all kinds of dark thoughts that they can use to create the Kaiser, which I thought they wanted back, but lately they've been negading me and going for Kari"

"He said he wanted her ability to travel between worlds"

He squeezed his fist.

"He said he went after my sister because she was the weakest, he held Kari in his claw and absorbed energy, looks like he's absorbed a lot more, I don't know if Kari's even gonna maek it"

Tai started crying. Ken walked out, Yolie was next.

"Hey Kari, here, I got you something"

Yolie took out a get well card, and tried to hand it to Kari. Kari tried to move her arm, and did slightly, but couldn't make it.

"Tai, I'm so sorry, I had no idea it was this bad"

"It's not your fault, it's Dragomon's, and he's gonna pay"

"You're right, we'll crush that slimeball for what he's done to Kari"

Yolie walked out. Next was T.K.

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

Kari did nothing, she was too weak to move, she didn't even know why she was trying to move, for what purpose.

"I swear to you Kari, whoever did this to you will pay the ultimate price"

He kissed her on the forehead and walked out. This suprised Tai a little. He looked down at Kari.

Because of that creep she couldn't even enjoy a first kiss, Dragomon will pay!

It was then Tai noticed something, blood!

It was coming from Kari! _____________________________________________

"So doc, why did Kari bleed like that"

"It's aparent that Kari's body is so weak, it's barely able to hold the blood in, if she dosen't get stronger soon, she'll die"

"We have to do something"

"We'll do everything we can young man, absoloutely everything, visiting hours are over, you better get home and rest, we'll update you on Kari's cndition tomorrow night"

Tai nodded reluctantly and leaft.

Dragomon, mark my words, you ARE going down for this! ____________________________________________

The DD all met at the park the next day after school, Tai assembled them there.

"So what's up"asked Davis.

"It's Kari, her body's become so weak it can barely hold her own blood in, guys, if we don't get back what Dragomon stole from her, she'll die"

"How long do we have"asked Ken.

"I'm not sure, Dragomon's here in this world, somewhere, we gotta strike him, fast"

"What are we waiting for, Kari's life hangs in our hands, we have to find Dragomon now"said T.K.

"Where do we look"asked Cody.

"A guy his size can't hide in too many places"

"You've seen him Tai"said Cody.

"Just his hand, but it's almost as big as our strongest Digimon, he's either in the Digiworld, or a really big mountain"

"We can't just go on a search party for him, likely he's in the Digital world, and that place is gigantic, it could take days to find him"pointed out Hawkmon.

"We don't have days, Kari can only hold on for so long you guys, you all saw how weak she was, we need to find him and destroy him quickly"

"Hm"

"What is it Ken"asked Cody.

Ken put out a finger of silence. If he could tap into the Dark ocean's power, maybe he could find Dragomon! He just had to concetrate. Nothing. Wait! A faint signal, very faint.

"He's in the Dark ocean"

"Ken, how-

"That dosen't matter now Davis, we need to go there"said Ken.

Ken pointed his Digivice towards the sky. He tensed up the back of his neck, reaching for the power of the spore. It was working!

"Everybody, we have to go through, now"

The portal sucked them in. ____________________________________________

The doctors wrapped extra skin on Kari to try and keep the blood all in. They used the skin of a dead man, and cleaned it out so they could use it to conserve Kari's body. This procedure has been done before, but this wasn't going to work forever. Eventualy the skin would become too weak, Kari had to become stronger.

But Kari could barely think! She was running on pure instinct, she didn't know much at all, except she was in a room all day and she couldn't move. That was it, she didn't try to get stronger, she didn't know how! Her parents visited her often during the day, but like before, she didn't know them, or what they were doing. Just about everything was a comeplete blank to her. Her parents cried seeing her like this, but Kari had no clue what any of this was about. ______________________________________________

They arrived in the Dark Ocean without a problem.

"Whoa, so THIS is the Dark Ocean"said Davis barely above a whisper. The others except for Ken and Yolie were stunned at what they saw. They didn't get much of a look when daemon was sent there. But Daemon wasn't on there minds, Dragomon was.

"Dragomon, show your face you coward"

Tai and the others got their wish as Dragomon arose above the ocean, but the DD were not intiminated.

"Allright dirtbag, you know what we want"barked Tai.

Dragomon's eyes widened at this.

Some kind a swirl of Black appeared in front of Dragomon, it formed into Kari!

"Kari"gasped T.K.

"Foolish human"said Dragomon through Kari, Kari's voice raspy, her eyes Red.

"You just don't comprehend the power I posses, now I can travel through worlds, I conquered this world with ease, and I'll do the same to yours"

"I've had enough, Patamon, Digivolve"

"Patamon digivolve to, Patagryphimon? Who am I kidding, I'm Patamon still"

"What"

"Idiot boy, your Digimon can't digivolve here, only Dark Digimon can Digivolve here"said Dragomon(through Kari, of course)

"We can still Armor Digivolve"said davis.

"Hm"said T.K nodding.

"Digiarmor energize"

"Veemon Armor Digivolve to Flamedramon, the fire of Courage"

"Patamon Digivolve to Pegasusmon, flying hope"

"Hawkmon digivolve to, Shurymon, Smaurai of sincerity"

"Armidiallamon Digivolve to Digmon, the drill of Knowledge"

"Gold Rush"

"Fire rocket"

"Double Star"

"Aquais Beam"

The attacks all hit Dragomon at once. When the smoke cleared, he was still standing.

"I am an Ultimate level Digimon you fools, your little pets in tin cans will fall against my power, time's runnign out, Kari will soon meet her ultimate fate"
