Always Left Out
Chapter 6: Kari's Trade
By Salamon2
Salamon2: For those of you asking for some action in this story... This is the chapter you've been waiting for!
Salamon: Are we winding down yet?
Salamon2: As you can tell she can't wait for this story to be over with... no, but I believe I will end it in another three or four chapters.
Salamon: Anyway, to quicken the pace and to end the story... Salamon2 doesn't own Digimon.

"I don't get it, the dot was right there..." said Kari in disbelief, after searching for T.K.'s yellow dot again.
"I'll e-mail the others that he was last seen on the screen here..." said Yolei
~~~
"Hey, I've got mail..." said Sora
"What is it?" asked Matt
"It says T.K.'s D3 was last seen in the desert..." said Sora
"That's not to far from here..." said Matt
"Biyomon!" said Sora to her Digimon who had listened into the conversation.
"Right Sora!" said Biyomon
"Biyomon digivolve to... BIRDRAMON!" she said as she Digivolved. The colossal Digimon towered over the two teens and they hopped on, with Gabumon as well, and Birdramon took off for the desert.

"Mimi, my roots hurt..." said Palmon
"I agree, my feet ache, we've been walking for hours!" said Mimi
"Yeah... I'm a bit tired too... let's take a break..." said Izzy and he sat down, and opened his laptop; Mimi heard his constant tapping on the keys and opened one eye to see the commotion of the noise.
"Izzy, you practically on that machine... put down the laptop!" said Mimi sitting up and pushing down the screen, slowly.
"Well... alright..." said Izzy slowly giving in and putting the laptop aside and Mimi then again lay down and smiled.
"That's it... lay down and relax... no noises to bother you, no worries, no hassles... just you... and nature..." said Mimi
"Beep! Beep!" went a little device, and Izzy's left eye opened and looked for the source of it.
"Just relax... see isn't it rejuvenating!" said Mimi
"Umm... Mimi..." said Izzy
"I said no laptop!" said Mimi
"No... you've got mail..." said Izzy
"I DO!" said Mimi, who immediately opened her D-terminal and opened it.
"Well what is it?" asked Izzy
"Kari said T.K.'s D3 was last seen on the Server desert..." said Mimi
"That's a weeks' hike from here!" said Izzy
"Well, at least Kabuterimon is here to help..." said Mimi
"True..." said Izzy and Tentomon was about to Digivolve when...
"Nail Bone!" was shouted as an explosion came from no where, knocking both Digidestined off their feet. When the explosion subsided, only one Skeletal Digimon stood in the clearing, holding a frantic Motimon and Tanemon.
"Put them down!" shouted Mimi
"No, I don't think so... Skull Hammer!" shouted Skull Satanmon as he sent another attack at the two Digidestined, knocking them unconscious, as the sun set.
(Salamon2's Note: I have no idea what Nail Bone and Skull Hammer actually look like, it's been a long time since I've seen 02, when he premiered. So for this fic, let's just say that Nail bone is a bone that acts like a grenade, and skull hammer is when he uses his staff)

"I'm coming little sis..." thought Tai as he, Joe, and Agumon swam from the Ice region on Ikkakumon. The Moon shone beautifully on the water.
"Dark Deludge!" was shouted from beneath the water as Ikkakumon sank into the water.
"Muhahaha!" shouted the water demon as he rose from the depths in a large rush of water, which knocked Ikkakumon under the water, and Tai, Agumon, and Joe, off of his back. Not giving them any time to attack back, he made the water form a whirlpool, using his Evil wind attack and placing it in the water, and it sucked all four into the depths of the ocean.

"PUT ME DOWN!" cried the Takai as he kicked and screamed as LadyDevimon flew westward.
"I made a mistake putting you there!" said LadyDevimon
"WHAT?!" cried Takai
"Yes... I put you on that island... after you landed in my master's desert... now my master wants to see you... now be a nice boy and act kindly towards him..." said LadyDevimon
"Oh..." said the four-year-old, now no longer struggling, and then he asked "Why does he want to see me?" asked Takai
"Oh, you just have something he wants to borrow for a few days..." said LadyDevimon and Takai then felt something prick him and he fell asleep in the Digimon's arms as she flew over the ocean. When she reached land LadyDevimon didn't know what to do, her master had not been specific on instructions... should she get the girl first and then bring them to her master, or just bring the boy?

"MATT! SORA! THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE! Kari has gone insane!" said Yolei
"What?" said the two getting off the dedigivolving Birdramon, and approaching the kneeling girl in the sand, clutching her pink D3.
"He'll comeback... I know he will... If I don't move from here..." said Kari in the brisk morning air.
"How long has she been like this?" asked Sora kneeling down to Kari, but looking at Yolei. Cody was still asleep, since it was only just a little after Dawn.
"I went to sleep at 10:45 last night, and this morning I found her like this... when I woke up at dawn..." said Yolei biting her lip worriedly for her DNA Digivolving Partner.
"Kari?" questioned Sora putting her arm around the girl; Kari continued staring at the screen of the D3.
"Kari..." said Sora now facing the girl, and staring directly at her head, but still Kari ignored her.
"KARI!" shouted Sora, who had put her hand on Kari's D3 screen to block view. This got Kari's attention.
"Oh... Sora... you're here..." said Kari smiling.
"You should have seen me on your D3 screen..." said Sora
"Oh... right..." said Kari worriedly
"Kari... what's wrong?" asked Sora
"You know why... in fact every person here knows why... I drove him off... now he won't ever come back, he won't ever forgive us... me..." said Kari going back into her paranoid state, only going into hysterics that T.K. wasn't going to forgive. "He'll hate us... me... for the rest of my life... he'll separate from the rest of the group... stop answering my e-mails... ignore me at school!" This abruptly ended when she felt pain in her left cheek, she had been slapped.
"MATT!" cried Yolei and Sora, waking up Cody near the nearby fire.
"If she'd been Tai, I would have punched her... but since she's Kari, I thought that'd be more appropriate" he said firmly and slowly more pain came to Kari's mind and she put her left hand gently on her left cheek. "You have to stop thinking like that and being selfish... T.K.'ll forgive, he's forgiven worse... as Sora can testify for me..." said Matt firmly but quietly, making his point to Kari.
"Hello Digidestined!" cried a shadow from above them, and all turned to see none other than LadyDevimon, holding something in her arms. She instantly attacked the other Digimon, using her Darkness Wave and Black Wing attacks, sent them all down to the level of In-training, and unconsciousness, the Digidestined looked over worriedly at their Digimon, but then looked back at LadyDevimon, who was smiling very mischievously.
"What do you want here?!" shouted Matt
"Oh... I have a little something..." said LadyDevimon then showing the sleeping four-year-old in her arms. Matt instantly recognized him as T.K., when he'd been four, and Matt was in such shock he fainted. Sora just caught him in the nick of time.
"Who's that?! And why do you have him?!" shouted Cody
"Oh... check your D3's to see who he is..." said LadyDevimon mischievously
"What!" shouted Kari as she looked to see a yellow dot where the four-year-old was.
"T.K.?" questioned Sora in horrified shock
"Yes... and I was about to take him to my master when I happened to see you..." said LadyDevimon to the group.
"What do you want with him!" shouted Cody, stepping forward to where the horrified girls all stood.
"Oh... my master just wants him for something... well let's put it this way... Important..." said LadyDevimon
"Take me instead!" shouted Kari without thinking; she stood up hands at her side.
"NO KARI!" shouted Yolei
"Really... my master would be more proud if I brought you yes..." said LadyDevimon
"Take me and do you promise that he'll be safe?" asked Kari
"Kari, you can't do this!" shouted Sora
"Yes, he'll be safe..." said LadyDevimon smiling, and Kari came forward, expecting that LadyDevimon would put the four-year-old T.K. down, but to her surprise, and the other's, LadyDevimon grabbed Kari and then took off. It was at this moment Matt slowly woke.
"Where's Kari?" he asked as he regained his consciousness.
"LadyDevimon had T.K., only he was a four year old, Kari tried to trade her life for his, but LadyDevimon took them both to her master.
"Just great... Tai is really going to kill me..." said Matt
