Chapter 8

Davis continued to sob in his pillow, constantly reminding himself about what a flop he was, that defeat made him feel so inferior to the others who sucsessfully beat Raven's men, even Kari who was far lees experienced then him had won, but he lost.

"Davis"

Davis was about to respond "Leave me alone"but this voice was diffrent.

"Who is it"

"I sense your pain, I can make you stronger Davis"

"Who are you"

"That is unimportant to you, what is important is whether you're willing to let me help you, I can make you stronger and crush Ken in a rematch"

Davis would love nothing more.

"I accept" *********************************************************

T.K and Kari met after school at their faviroute place:the park.

"Did you notice too"asked Kari.

"Yeah, Davis didn't show up. He lost, why is he so upset"asked T.K.

"It was more then that, he was the only one of us who lost to Raven's men. He probaly feels horrible about that, plus the abuse he suffered after the match"said Kari.

T.K sighed.

"Yeah, that probaly means he won't even bother to show up at the tournament next week. It wouldn't be the same without him"said T.K.

A rining was heared, Kari took the cell phone out of her pocket.

"A cell phone?"

"Yeah, Tai wants me to have it all the time just in case, ever since that incident with Raven's henchman"said Kari.

That made sense, after all, Tai was very overprotective of Kari, but after everything that's happened, he has a right to be.

"Hello Tai, what is it"

T.K could only wait to here the news.

"WHAT! Okay, we'll be on it"

Kari hung up and put the phone back into her pocket.

"Kari, what's wrong"

"It's Davis, he's dissapeared from home"

"Dissapeared!Why aren't the cops after him?"

"Because he hasn't been missing for 24 hours yet"

Oh no, Kari, do you think"asked T.K.

Kari knew where this was going.

"We better find him before he does, let's go"

Kari ran off quickly, T.K close behind.

"T.K, we can find him faster if we split up"

"Right, you take left, I'll take right"

Kari nodded.

"We'll meet back at your house in a few hours, don't leave a place unsearched"

Theyr an off. A mysterious figure in the corner watched on.

"Everything is going to plan, Kamiya is all alone, she'll find Davis allright, and she'll be suprised when she does"he thought. *************************************************

Kari went into an alleyway, that would be the first place to check. She had to find him before he did something drastic.

"Davis, are you here? It's me, Kari"

"Kari"

Kari ran around the corner, she knew that voice.

"Davis"

But Davis was diffrent, his eyes were orange, although you could still see the pupils.

"Davis, what happened"asked Kari.

"Davis? No, I only speak through him. As for who I am, let's just say it be best to cooraperate"

"What have you done to Davis Raven"demanded Kari.

"I'm not Raven, I want him gone like you, but for diffrent reasons. My name is of no concern, if you want Davis back, you must forefit your slot in the tournament"

"But why"

"All the slots have been filled, so I can no longer sign up, but if you give me your slot, I can still enter, and you can have Davis back. If you refuse, I will slowly tear Davis apart"

Kari wanted her mother alive, but she couldn't risk the life of another to do it. She fell to her knees.

"I forefit my slot, now leave Davis alone"cried Kari in tears.

"A wise decision"

Davis's body dropped to the ground. He was unconcious.

"Mom, I failed you, I don't deserve to be your daughter, I don't even deserve your forgiveness, I never did" ******************************************************

"WHAT"roared Raven.

"I'm sorry sir, but it's true"said one of his servants(Their pay must be high if so many people wanna work for this guy!)

"Darn, that means only T.K will be at the tournament, I wanted Davis gone to break their spirit. It seems our old foe Snave is still opposing me. He plans to take all of the Digidestined out of the tournament, which means I'll have to seek them all out and beat them instead of getting them all in one place. Oh well, as long as I defeat them. Then when I do, Snave will be crushed" *****************************************************

Kari locked herself in her room, letting no one inside. Tai tried to perswade her to let him in, but Kari refused.

T.K wasn't much help either.

"Kari, please tell me, what happened"asked T.K.

No awnser.

Tai tried to break down the door. Didn't budge.

"Kari, what's wrong? What is it"asked Tai.

Kari hadn't told anyone about forefitting her slot in the tournament. It hurt her too much, she failed because she was so weak. Raven was right. All of her efforts had been in vain, money waisted.

"Please, let us help Kari, please"begged T.K.

No awnser.

Kari felt guilty not telling them, so was about to awnser, when she heared a voice.

"Kari Kamiya, remember me, I own your slot"

You"said Kari.

"Allow me to introduce myself. They call me Snave the crusher. I can sense your pain, why not join Davis. He is one of my many slaves, who's minds have been manipulated"

"I don't get it, if you can manipulate minds, why don't you just do it to Raven"asked Kari.

"Adults like myself are imune to my mind sorcery, at least if I tried to take control there and then. I need to control younger and less evolved minds. By the time they grow into their adult hood, it'll be too late. So what do you say, want to end your pain"

Kari nodded.

"T.K, c'mon, we'll have to work together to break it down"said Tai.

They both rammed with all their might, causing the door to swing open. But when they entered, it was too late. Kari was gone. ************************************************

"Now I have 2 Digidestined as my mind slaves. Just 3 more, and I will have power that is limitless. Then the fun will begin"

Snave was about 19, with spikey yellow hair. He had eyes with big dark circles around them. To match that, he had a Black tank top, Black pants and boots, also gold bracelet's around his wrists. **************************************************

T.K, Cody, and Yolie met at the park, it was dark. They snuck out when their parents were asleep.

"Allright, you know why we're here. So let's get going, we have to search every square inch of this city until they're found, hurry"said T.K.

They all ran off in diffrent directions.

"This is crazy. First Davis, now Kari"thought T.K.

T.K tripped over something, and hit the ground hard. He sat up, and and saw a foot. Some weird kid in a robe was standing there.

"You seek the one called Kari? Follow me"

"How-

He was walking away. T.K followed. But when he caught up, the figure stopped, and smothered T.K quickly with his cape. He quickly took it off, and T.K was in some sort of chamber. with a table and game mat.

"Sit down, and you will see the ones you seek soon"said the robed kid.

T.K did so. A door opened, and a voice spoke.

"T.K, I'm glad you could make it. Now prepare for the duel of a lifetime, for the loser of this duel will be killed, slowly and painfully"

T.K's ankles were shackled.

"Now, meet your opponent"(Okay, you probaly know who it is, so just bare with me here)

His opponent walked out, and sat down, ankles shackled as well.

"KARI"

TBC ***********************************************

A match to the death! T.K Vs Kari? Will T.K really try and win, or will he take the fall for Kari, who probaly will remain a mind slave after. Either way, T.K's gonna lose it all next time!
