"Did you see that?" asked Kari.
"See what?" asked Davis.
"The way the air shimmered," replied Kari.
"No...." he replied.
"It has been doing that all day," added Ken.
"I might have seen something, but it could have been my imagination," said Yolie.
"Then that makes two of us," said Willis.
"See what?" asked Raidramon.
"Don't stop!" cried Terriermon.
"You have to focus on the road!" added Lopmon.
"Cut it out, you two," scolded Willis.
"Kari, are you OK?" asked Nefertimon.
"It is just a chill, I be fine," replied Kari. Nefertimon got a look on her face like she had felt the same thing.
"I think we should get out of here," suggested Ken.
"I have to agree with him," added Stingmon.
"We are done with this area," said Cody. "Let's head north."
"Why north?" asked Davis.
"Because that is the fastest way back to any sign of civilization. It doesn't matter if BlackWarGreyMon comes out here, there is nothing but rocks. We should be concerned about people and digimon," answered Cody.
"Good answer," complimented Stingmon.
"TK, did you see that strange thing they were talking about?" asked Pegasusmon.
"No, but I don't think they are making it up," answered TK. He watched the horizon for any sign of BlackWarGreyMon.
Just then the air around them shimmered. They all saw it.
"What was that?!" gasped Aquilamon. She dove closer to the ground to be nearer to the other digi-destined.
"It has been happening all day," Kari said, fearfully.
"Don't worry, I will protect you," stated Davis. Everyone was to preoccupied to shoot him down, though.
"We have to get out of here!" exclaimed Ken. But the shadow in the air continued to grow, until it was all of the way around them.
"We are trapped! This can't be good!" exclaimed Willis.
"There has to be a way out!" yelled Cody.
"Everyone hang on!" yelled Yolie as the world was flipped upside down.
As fast as the phenomena started, it stopped. The digi-destined were left in a place of dread. The landscape was colorless, and it seemed to choke all who dared enter it.
"Oh, no! Not here! Anywhere but here!" cried Kari, putting her hands to temples. Ken was shaking badly.
"The Dark Ocean!" he gasped, in fear.
"How did we get here?" asked Davis. Kari and Ken were to shaken to answer.
"Where, exactly, is here?" asked Willis.
"The Dark Ocean," answered Yolie. "It is a place of fear and darkness. This whole place is evil!"
"Are, you OK, Ken?" asked Wormmon. The digimon had reverted to their usual forms.
"I'll be fine, Wormmon," replied Ken, although he sounded like he didn't believe it.
"I want to get out of here," moaned Kari.
"Well, we aren't getting back the way we came, that is for sure," said Cody as he looked around. They weren't to the Dark Ocean yet, but they were in the black and white forest that was next to the Dark Ocean.
"This place gives me the creeps," commented Armadillomon.
"I think it does the same for all of us," agreed Veemon.
"We'd better get out of here soon," said Hawkmon, "Last time we were here Ken and Kari flipped out on us."
"We should get moving," added Yolie. They all began to walk.
"I hope we are walking away from that ocean," commented Cody.
"I don't think you can," said Kari. "The Dark Ocean finds you." She shuddered.
"Don't worry," said Willis. "As long as we are together we will be fine."
"Just try not to look over your shoulder too much," added Terriermon.
"And don't run, because those are the people that always get killed in the movies first," finished Lopmon.
"You two aren't helping," scolded Willis.
"This place is starting to bother me," said TK after a while. Ken and Kari hadn't said a word, they just felt the power of this dark dimension around them.
"Are you OK, Kari? Speak to me," demanded Gatomon.
"We need to get out of here," Kari said with a shudder. "I have a strange feeling like something is watching us."
"Get it out of my head!" yelled Ken as he collapsed, the Dark Ocean finally getting to him.
"Ken!" cried Wormmon in alarm.
"Agh!" screamed Ken, clutching his head as memories from his dark past flooded him.
"Help him!" urged Kari.
"Stand up, Ken," said Davis as he tried to help the boy genius to his feet.
"We are your friends, you are not alone any more," said Wormmon.
"Sam," sobbed Ken as he called for his deceased brother.
"Ken, listen to us!" yelled Yolie. "You have to fight it!" Yolie grabbed Ken in a tight embrace. Eventually he stopped shaking.
"I'm sorry," he muttered, looking into Yolie's eyes.
"Don't apologize Ken," she said as they extended their hug a little longer.
"Eh-hem!" Davis cleared his throat. The two pulled apart bashfully.
"I hate to break up the party," said TK. "But we have bigger problems." Behind them, the Dark Ocean had appeared.
"Where did that come from?" asked Willis, fearfully.
"Oh, no," groaned Kari, as she put her hands over her temples, trying to block it all out; the Dark Ocean, the dark forest, the dark lighthouse.
"You have to be strong, Hikari," said Willis. "You are the bear of the crest of light, you have to fight it!"
"We have to leave before this gets worse," commented Patamon.
"I know," agreed TK.
"I've tried to send an e-mail to the others, but it won't go through," said Cody.
"It looks like we are on our own," muttered Davis.
"Davis, I found something!" said Veemon.
"I hope it is a way out of here," muttered Armadillomon.
"I think everyone does," agreed Hawkmon.
"What is it?" asked Davis as he raced about thirty feet down the beach to his digimon. The others followed behind him.
"Those are some killer footprints!" exclaimed Willis.
"Do you think Godzilla was here?" asked Terriermon.
"Maybe Bigfoot," suggested Lopmon.
"But the tracks lead straight to the Dark Ocean," said Cody. "And they don't come out."
"I really don't like this," whimpered Kari.
"Kari, we all care about you to much to lose you to darkness," said Gatomon.
"Thanks," Kari smiled.
"Whatever went into the ocean didn't come out," TK observed.
"Do you mean that there is something else here?" asked Patamon.
"Not any more," said Davis. "I don't think anything that goes into that Dark Ocean ever comes out again." A slow chorus began to rise from the depths of the sea.
"Let's get out of here!" suggested Ken in a panic.
"Leave me alone!" shouted Kari as she clutched her head with her hand. Dark, guilty memories began to flood the digi-destined.
"Sam, I am so sorry," sobbed Ken as he collapsed again.
"All I wanted was a friend," cried Willis. "I never knew the egg would get attacked by a virus."
"There is so much darkness. I will never be strong enough to beat it," moaned Kari.
"No one ever notices me. Mom and dad are too busy with my little siblings to care about what it do," lamented Yolie.
"The darkness will destroy us all unless we destroy it first!" yelled TK.
"What is wrong with you people!" yelled Davis, who was about the only one not effected. "It is just an illusion! You are all stronger than that!"
"Ken, you have to fight it!" urged Wormmon. "I don't want to lose you to evil again!"
"It wasn't your fault, Willis," said Lopmon. "I am here, don't be sad."
"We won, remember," added Terriermon.
"Snap out of it!" yelled Veemon.
"We are stronger than this," said Cody, who was the least effected. He stood up, with the help of Armadillomon. "We have come to far to lose to shadows."
"Way to go, Cody!" cheered Davis.
"Too much darkness," moaned TK. "I don't want my friends to get hurt!"
"But I am here," said Patamon. But, like the others, he didn't respond.
"I just want people and digimon to live in peace, without any maniac trying to destroy it," said Kari, mostly to herself. "I don't want anyone to suffer. I don't want anyone to be alone. I don't want to fight darkness, because I don't want there to be any darkness!" Her digivice began to glow bright. A huge beam shot out from it, illuminating the sky. Even the dark house couldn't compete with the light coming from her digivice. The shadowy voices began to fade. The other digi-destined began to come to their senses. A dark figure who had been hiding nearby retreated in the blinding light.
"Kari?" asked Davis. "Are you OK?"
"Are you in there?" asked Gatomon as she raced to her friend.
"We can beat the darkness," said Kari as she stood up. "As long as we stick together and never give up! We can't give in to darkness because of our fears. We have to be strong because in the end good will always beat evil!"
"Nice speech," complimented Willis, who was clearly impressed.
"Why don't you tell her how you really feel?" asked Terriermon.
"You know you want to," added Lopmon.
"Shut-up!" snapped Willis.
"That was the worst thing I have ever gone through!" complained Yolie.
"I agree," said Ken.
"I was worried about you," said Hawkmon as she landed on Yolie's head.
"Don't scare me like that again!" Wormmon scolded Ken.
"I won't," agreed Ken.
"Kari, that was awesome!" complimented Davis.
"Hey, guys! Look!" said Cody from atop a dune.
"What is it?" asked Armadillomon.
"Kari made a way out!" exclaimed Veemon as he joined them. The other digimon and digi-destined raced over.
A shadowy figured watched them with an evil smile. This was the chance he had been waiting for.
