Kari mentaly begged just to fade away. Just to die. Her body felt so weak and feeble that it was in total pain. Her mind was mostly numnb and her memories had all faded away.

"Kari, how do you feel?"asked the scientist who had a clipboard with him.

Kari gave no repsonse, just stood in that tube waiting for the pain to end.

"Allright, we'll play hardball if that's what you want. T,K, come on in"

T.K hadn't changed a bit from when Kari first saw him here:Dark circles around his eyes, his voice mutated.

The scientist handed T.K a knife.

"If you don't awnser me, I'll have T.K slit his wrists"

"T.K? What's he mean slit? I just wanna sleep"thought Kari.

"What's wrong Kari, I thought you loved me"said T.K in a teasing voice.

T.K wasn't drugged like the other creatures. A special microchip was inplanted within his mind, this is the way Goverment could control humans, however the chip would never work on their egineered creatures as it would be too weak. The drugs used to control the superhuman creatures was in the tube Kari was in.

"I see, so you aren't as pure as one would think from your profiles"

A scientsist dashed up to him like there was no tomorrow.

"Sir,we have to get the child out of there. Any more time in there and she'll die!"he said as though armageddon were coming.

"Very well"he said pushing a button on the table near his chair.

The tube was opened, and all the liquid pured out.

"Bring her over here"ordered the head scientist.

The other one unshackled Kari with keys, which only the scientists and researchers were allowe to hold. He carried her over to the second chair next to the head scientist.

"T.K, restrain her"ordered the head scientist handing him handcuffs.

T.K pulled the weakened Kari up and cuffed her hands behind her before forcing her back down.

"Kari, can you hear me?"asked the Head Scientist.

His worlds were mubles to Kari, who had no idea right then what was what, who was who or anything for that matter.

"Rebellious, aren't we? Well maybe this will reform you"he said pushing a button from under the table.

Kari was electrified with countless volts of electricity. Her screams of pain echoed throught the lab.

At first T.K was enjoying this, then he started feeling an unknown knot in his stomach, as though this was wrong.

"T.K, help me"he heared Kari say in his head.

"K-Kari?"said T.K starting to remember.

"No you don't"thought the head Scientist who took out a remote control.

T.K held his throbbing head as he seemed to be electrified. It only took a few seconds for T.K to go back to his brainwashed self.

The voltage woke Kari up, and though she still felt the pain of being weak, she remembered everything that was happening now.

"Now, I'll ask again. How do you feel?"

"What have you doen to T.K"said Kari weakly.

"None of your concern brat, now awnser my question:How do you feel?"

Not wanting to be zapped again, Kari awnsered"Horrible"

"The drug dosen't seem to be manipulating her. However her mind and body have been weakened unlike anything I've ever seen before. So this drug is obviously too powerful for umans, well there's one theory down the drain"he thought.

"Now what do we do with her?"asked T.K excitingly.

"You may do as you please with her, however I want her alive still"said the head scientist who uncuffed Kari.

"Little punk, how pathetic"said T.K.

"Please, kill me"said Kari.

"I wish I could, but I have ord-

"T.K, help me!"

T.K held his head after he heared the voice again.

"I don't know how you're doing this, but you better stop!"

T.K picked Kari up by the throat with both hands.

"You like to play headgames huh? Well I like games too, games of torture and pain"said T.K licking his chops.

Kari put all the strength she had into one of her hands and layed that hand on T.K's face.

"T.K, I know you're in there somewhere"said Kari who sounded like she was on the verge of dying.

T.K seemed stunned by this, but shook his head and chucked Kari to the ground. He took the blade the Head scientist had given him and held it at Kari's throat.

"I don't care what he told me to do, if you keep these games up I'm going to butcher you like a pig, got it!"

Kari's conciousness was fading, so she closed her eyes. She saw an image of the real T.K smiling right below the bright sun, just before losing total conciousness.

"Asleep, huh? Well good riddens. The doc will be back for you soon enough, and hopefully he'll find no more use of you so I can kill you and put a stop to these mindgames of yours" ******************************************************

It was night time, and Proto remained asleep, while the other Digidestined were trying to figure out where to sleep.

"Man I wish we brought a tent with us"said Davis.

"Maybe there's a village near by where we can sleep"said Yolie.

"Um, Yolie"said Cody pointing out into the wilderness. All that could be seen was forest.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! YOU MEAN WE'RE STUCK HERE!"yelled Yolie.

"Don't yell so loud, there ould be wild Digimon that would like us as meals"said Poromon.

No later had he said that, footsteps were being heared.

"Now you've done it"said Cody.

"Hey, maybe it's Kari"said Gatomon getting excited.

But it was quite the opposite:it was T.K, still brainwashed.

"T.K, you got some talking to do!"said Yolie running up to him with an angry expression.

"T.K, what did you do to Kari!"said Cody angrily.

"Fools"

"What was that!"demanded Davis.

"You have no idea, do you? The power you're up against"

"T.K, what happened to your voice!"gasped Gatomon.

"Hey, where's Patamon?"asked Cody.

"Him? He's in Goverment care, just like Kari"

Proto jolted his eyes at this, and leaped up.

"I see that caught your attention Proto. Yes, she is, as we speak, going under some very important scientific experiments. From when I last saw her there she didn't look so good. You should've seen it, she was practicly begging for me to kill her"

"You monsters! T.K, how could you associate yourselves with animals like them!"demanded Cody.

T.K took out his blade.

"One of you is going to die tonight, the question is who? Perhaps you Cody, or maybe you Davis, of course nobody would care if you died so that would be a lost cause"

"T.K, you're being manipulated, don't you see? They've brainwahsed you with a special computer chip. They have you submitting to them T.K, you have to fight back"said Proto.

"Brainwashed? No Proto, these Digimon have brainwashed you, they've turned you into vessels who's only purpose is to help them Digivolve and get stronger"

"You're wrong T.K, what the goverment is doing is wrong"said Davis.

"Don't make me laugh!"

"We've got to break through to him. T.K, don't you remember Kari? Everything you did for her? Don't you remember the day you saved her from the Dark ocean?"

*Flashback"

"T.K when you said you really cared for me, what did you mean by that?"

"What? Oh, just stuff"

"Well you know what T.K, I really care for you too"

They both looked below to make sure the Dark Ocean didn't pull anything, then gave a giggle.

*End Flashback*

"Kari? Care for her?"

"Don't you dare!"

He held his head as he was electrified yet again.

"You're uner our control, you do as we say!"

"No, no way, I'm not!"

"Don't resist!"

"Get the hell outta my head!"

"T.K!'gasped Yolie.

"Ken, aren't you going to help them?"asked Wormon.

No response, Ken's face was hidden in the shadows.

"Ken?"

Ken gave a smirk.

"NO! You can't control me! You CAN'T!"

It was no use, T.K was free from their control, however even when it stopped, he remembered nothing.

"What happened? Where am I?"

"T.K, you allright"asked Cody.

"Who are you people? What's going on!"

"T.K, don't you remember us?"

T.K started to regain his memory, Digimon, friends, and especialy Kari.

"I remember it all now. Guys, we have to go now! We have to save Kari and Patamon!"

As he said that, much of the forest was being depleted.

"What's going on?"asked Cody.

Yolie looked into Ken's laptop.

"I can't believe this, the Digital world, it's being depleted comepletely! We have to go!"gasped Yolie.

"Quick, everyone gather around!"ordered Davis.

"Digi port open!"

They were sucked through sucsessfuly, however they stopped dead on their wat back to the real world.

"Hey, what's with the pitstop?"asked Davis.

"Maybe one of us had to go to the bathroom"said Veemon.

"Let me see"said Ken snatching the laptop.

"The Digital portals have all been deleted, guys there's no way back!"

"You mean we're stuck here!"gasped Yolie.

"There's no way we'll save anybody in here! There has to be a portal somehwere!"gasped Proto.

"No, there all gone"said Ken.

"We have no choice, we'll break a hole and make one"

"But Proto, doing that could cause the balance of the all the worlds to collapse"

"it allready has, when one world's gone, all the others will collapse. If we don't find a way to restore the Digital world, there won't be anything leaft! Now let's go, Energy Blade!"

Proto was more then refreshed and easily broke through the wall.

"This is it, let's do this! Kari needs us, you in T.K?"asked Davis.

"Yes, now let's go!"

"Allright, but I get the credit for rescuing Kari"said Davis.

"In your dreams"said T.K.

They all went through the man made portal, unaware of what may be in store for them.
