Okay, I'm really sorry that I took so long to post this chapter up. I
ran out of ideas and started working on my other stories Unfaithful, and
Love is in the School Air. Also, I have tons of homework and have to
practice piano a lot since my exam is coming up, so I might not be able to
put up another chapter after this for a long time.unless I get more reviews
that is! ^_^
Also, I didn't get many Yolei with Davis or Ken votes so I'll give you a few more chapters to decide. This chapter deals with Kari only, and her experience with the Dark Ocean.
Anyways, I guess I should continue with the story as you all are dying to find out what happens next. Hope you find it interesting! If you want something specific to happen, just tell me, and I'll see whether I can fit it into the storyline.
Now, on with the story!

Chapter 5: The Dark Ocean (Kari)
"Where am I?" Kari thought, "Everything looks so dark and dreary. It almost looks like - no it can't be, don't tell me that I'm in the dark ocean again!"
Kari was surrounded in an area that was dark and depressing. She wasn't sure if it actually was the Dark Ocean, but this place greatly resembled it. She looked around in wonder at the darkness everywhere. It seemed so gloomy and caused her spirits to become gloomy too.
"Why am I here?" Kari thought, "I thought that I was rid of the Dark Ocean forever. Gennai told me that I'd never have to come back here! We defeated the evil forces here! Why am I being drawn here once more!?"
By this point, Kari was getting really angry and lonely. She was scared to be in the Dark Ocean all by herself again. The last time she was here, the evil forces took her away because of her crest of light. The Geckomon called her "Queen Kari", as she was supposed to rescue them from being enslaved further by this evil force. However, she couldn't quite remember what that evil force was.
"I hope that I don't have to experience the same feelings I experienced last time I came here," Kari thought with a shudder.
Kari was walking along the deserted beach, and noticed that there were no people, houses, or even any sign of civilization. "Oh no," she thought, "This was exactly what happened last time when I was taken to the Dark Ocean. Please don't tell me that I'm here again!"
She continued walking along the beach in hopes that she would soon find an exit to the real world, but there was nothing. It seemed as if this beach went on forever and forever, she couldn't see any sign of a way to exit this horrible place. Kari started to get a little frightened at the prospect of never returning home again and being stuck here at this place forever. However, she quickly shook those thoughts of out her head, and tried to think of the bright side. She knew that the Digidestined, especially T.K., would come and rescue her like they had done before.
"It's all my fault that I'm here anyway," she thought, "If I hadn't become so emotional in my fight with T.K., I wouldn't have ended up here. Oh why did I run away after our fight, he was only trying to help? He cared about me enough to want to make sure that I wasn't late and what did I do? I turned away from him and yelled at him, making him feel really bad."
~*~*~*~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Come on Kari, it's already 8:19, we have one minute to get to class." T.K. said
"Don't worry T.K., I'm almost ready," replied Kari.
"Yeah, but the bell is going to ring in less than 1 minute, and I told you; I don't want to be late for class."
"Quit complaining! If you don't like waiting for me so much than just go to class yourself!!!"
"Fine then," T.K. said, "I'll go and leave you here ALL BY YOURSELF! If you're late for class than that's not my problem. Geez! I don't know why you're so grumpy today. You're yelling at me and telling me that I shouldn't bother you, even though all I want to do is help you." With that remark, T.K. turned around and ran down the hallway towards the classroom.
Kari watched T.K's retreating back sadly, and then started heading towards class too. However, as she started walking she remembered her words to T.K., and felt really ashamed of herself for saying those things. She then decided not to go to class for fear of facing T.K., and she turned and ran down the hall and out the front door.
Once Kari was outside, she stopped running and burst into tears. "What's wrong with me?" she thought in disgust, "Why did I have to go and say those things to T.K.? He was only trying to be a good friend like he always was, and I had to go and be all mean and bitchy towards him. Oh, I don't deserve a friend like him, how could I ever think that I was worthy enough to be T.K.'s friend, let alone best friend. He's too nice and, well, I'm not anymore I guess," she thought sadly.
Kari then started running towards the Odaiba Park. "Maybe I can sort out what I'm feeling there," she thought. She started running towards the park, blinded by tears, and not noticing where she was headed.
"I don't deserve a good friend like T.K.," Kari thought as she ran, "I'm a horrible person. He didn't do anything to deserve me yelling at him at all. He was just trying to help me!"
Pretty soon, Kari got tired of running and decided to rest under a Sakura tree, which happened to be nearby. She sighed and looked at her watch. It read 8:45, which meant that she had been running for quite a long time. She wondered if T.K. was really worried about her right now since it was unusual that she would decide not to show up for class one day, and she hardly ever was late for class.
Kari sighed. "When did my life get so complicated?" she thought, "I don't feel the same way when I talk to T.K. anymore. I don't think anything has changed between us so what's wrong with me? How could we get into an argument that fast? In the past, I know we've had our disagreements, but a big fight like this? It had never happened before."
"I'm so stupid," she said all of a sudden, "stupid, stupid, stupid! How could I be so mean and insensitive to you T.K.? I didn't mean to hurt you by yelling at you; I don't even know why I yelled at you in the first place! But if you can hear me, I just want to say that I'm truly sorry for all the hurtful things I might have said to you! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!" Kari was so involved in apologizing out loud to T.K. that she didn't notice that the tree she was resting under had turned into a digi-portal leading somewhere. Kari let out a big sigh, and then leaned against the trunk of the Sakura tree. The tree trunk opened up into a portal and started sucking Kari in.
"Huh? What's going o- Help!!!" she cried, as the tree continued sucking her in. Kari was so surprised by this sudden change of events that she was only able to cry "Help" one more time before the tree completely sucked her into another dimension.
~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh, I'm so sorry T.K.," Kari sobbed, sitting down on the bare, cold beach, with her head in her arms, "I guess I just was in a bad mood today, I didn't mean to hurt you, and now I wish I could see you again."
Suddenly, Kari heard a noise in the distance, "Huh? What's that noise?" she said, quickly standing up, and getting ready into her fighting position.
"Hello, Kari Kamiya," said a deep voice.
"H-hello?" Kari replied nervously, "Who's there?"
"I'm sure you are wondering who I am and why you have been brought here to the Dark Ocean," the deep voice continued.
"Umm.well, first of all, who are you and what do you want with me?" Kari asked uncertainly.
"You have been brought back here again because we can sense a great deal of dark power radiating from you. At first we thought that you were still to pure and innocent to be brought back into the Dark Ocean, but now we see that you do have a dark side to you and would fit easily as the dark queen of the Digital World."
"What are you talking about?? I'm not a DARK person as you say I am, and I definitely won't want to be your dark queen. Who are you anyway!?"
"It is too soon for me to reveal my name, but you will find out who I am very soon."
"WHAT!? Why can't you tell me who you are? Are you an evil Digimon? And what do you mean by saying that I'll find out soon??"
"Do not worry Kari Kamiya. All will be revealed to you soon. However, I will be needing to hold you captive for the time being until the time is right for you to become our dark queen."
"You'll never be able to keep me here! My friends will find me. They'll take me back and defeat you!"
"Your friends will never be able to find you here. This is a secret location which only people that we have decided we want can enter. Your friends will never be able to find you in this secluded area."
"Of course they will be able to! My friends and I have defeated evil creatures like you before, and we can do it again!
The deep voice laughed evilly, "Ahh, but I am not an evil Digimon and you have never defeated someone like me before."
"What!? You're not a Digimon?? Who are you then? Are you human, and what do you want with me??" Kari demanded angrily.
"You ask too many questions," the voice said grumpily, "I said that all would be revealed to you soon. Now stop bugging me by asking all these questions."
"Just tell me who you are!" Kari yelled, "That's all I'm asking for right now!"
"You have no rights to tell me what to say or do as you are currently my little captive, but since you will become my future dark queen anyway, I will tell you."
Kari stayed silent, waiting expectantly for the deep voice to begin speaking again. She wondered if she was forever to be captured inside the colorless, lifeless world of the Dark Ocean, and if she would ever see T.K. and her friends again.
The voice began speaking, "I still will not tell you my name or anything like that just yet, but I will tell you that my future is to be the ruler of the Digital world. However, I cannot do it without a Dark queen, and that is why I have taken you into the Dark Ocean again."
"I will never become your stupid queen. You can't make me! My friends will save me and defeat you and your minions!" Kari shouted.
"Ahh, but your friends do not even know what I look like or what the extent of my powers is as they have never experience a power like mine before. Therefore, they will never be able to defeat me without any data on me at all," the voice replied confidently.
Kari gasped, "Oh no," she thought, "he's right, my friends can't do anything without knowing at least what he looks like, and they don't even know that I'm in the Dark Ocean most likely!"
"What's the matter, Kari Kamiya? Why so quiet all of a sudden? Are you scared that your friends will never be able to find you?" the deep voice asked mockingly.
Kari straightened up, and decided that she would not let this evil person mock her and her friends. She was not going to be insulted by a bodiless voice that knew nothing about the extent of her relationship with all her friends.
"My friends will be able to find me, and when they do, they will defeat you and make sure that you never get a chance to become the ruler of the Digital world. You.you would ruin the beautiful digital world you have just like you have ruined this section of it already!" Kari cried determinedly.
"I have not ruined the world and am not going to! I am planning to make it into a beautiful paradise for all Digimon where they will be able leave peacefully, fulfilling their destined duties and obeying their master."
"You mean that you're going to turn all of the Digimon into your slaves to do your bidding!" Kari shrieked.
"How dare you talk about me like I was a bad person. I may be evil on the outside, but that doesn't mean that I'm not a good person. I really want to help all the poor, innocent Digimon in this world, and if being evil is the only way to do so, then I will do it!" the voice declared.
"You are evil," Kari stated, "and nothing will be able to change that."
"Ahh, but how do you even know that I am truly evil? Perhaps I do just want to help the Digimon. You have never seen me so you cannot judge."
As Kari and the deep voice were talking, Kari was walking along the beach, trying to find an exit portal to the real world. She was angry at the fact that the voice stated that he wanted to help the Digimon.
"How could someone evil enough to capture innocent people from the real world want to just truly help Digimon? It's not possible!" Kari thought.
"Furthermore, your friends will never be able to find a way into the Dark Ocean. They do not have the power or knowledge to be able to get in. Besides, they probably don't even want to since you ran off and abandoned them."
"My friends will be able to, and they will do it to save me. I believe in them!" Kari cried, "and how do you know everything that happened to me?"
"But last time your friends knew that you had gone to the Dark Ocean, and young Takeru was able to get through because he cared about you deeply," the deep voice said, ignoring Kari's last question.
"What do you mean by saying that?? Are you saying that T.K. doesn't care for me anymore?? And how did you know about what happened last time when I was sent to the Dark Ocean!?"
"I have my sources, and as I said before, all will be revealed in time. Right now, you just have to worry about becoming my Dark queen."
"But I don't want to become your stupid queen! I want to go back to the real world with all my friends and everything! I want to apologize to T.K. for being so rude to him, and live a good a life. I DON'T BELONG IN THE DARK OCEAN!!"
"You may think that now, but just look around you at all these dark surroundings. Think of what you are really feeling in your heart right now. You have lost your chance with T.K. because you were being your true self - a dark hearted, evil girl whose destiny is to become my beautiful dark queen."
Kari gasped, "What? My destiny is to be evil?" That can't possibly be true. Everyone has always told me how pure and innocent I am, and that I definitely should bear the Crest of Light, which I do."
"Let me clue you in, I can sense that you are feeling very confused right now," the voice said calmly.
Kari just stood there, not knowing what to do. This voice said that she was evil, but she knew that she wasn't. She bore the Crest of Light, which, together with T.K.'s Crest of Hope saved the Digital world from destruction. Kari sensed that the voice was lying, yet she could not shake off the feeling that there was some evil in her - why else would she be able to get into a place like the Dark ocean?
The voice continued speaking, noticing Kari's long silence, "Let's investigate your friends one by one, shall we? Then you can decide your true feelings for them after you see what they think of you."
"Why should I do this!?" Kari exploded, "I trust my friends completely, I don't need to see their faithfulness towards me to know that they are going to rescue me!"
"My dear Kari, I think you need some time to think. I shall have you put into one of my private rooms while you think this matter over. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised to see what I have put into your rooms. You shall be treated like a princess here, and then you can forget about all your friends, and become my dark queen. Together, we will be unstoppable and will be able to completely rule over the Digital world!" the deep voice said, "Geckomon, take her away to the room I have prepared for her."
"No wait! Don't take me please!" Kari cried, as the Geckomon swarmed up to her and started dragging her towards a semi-palace institution.
"You will stay in this room until you decide once and for all that you are truly evil, and that being evil is your destiny," the voice said.
"What? But I don't want to!" Kari yelled, "I want to go home!"
"I'm sorry, but that cannot be done. I will reveal all to you sooner than you think, and you will realize your true destiny is to become my dark queen."
"Wait! At least tell me your name!" Kari cried desperately.
"My name is Kurato Toshiteme, the future ruler of the digital world."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So was that good? And who is this evil person Kurato, a new threat to the Digital world? My apologies again for taking so long to post this chapter up, next chapter will be about T.K. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to review it!
Also, I didn't get many Yolei with Davis or Ken votes so I'll give you a few more chapters to decide. This chapter deals with Kari only, and her experience with the Dark Ocean.
Anyways, I guess I should continue with the story as you all are dying to find out what happens next. Hope you find it interesting! If you want something specific to happen, just tell me, and I'll see whether I can fit it into the storyline.
