Always Left Out

Chapter 7: Darkening Transfer

By Salamon2

Salamon2: Darkness...

Salamon: Are we winding down yet?

Salamon2: Uggh... not that again!  I will end it in, another two, or three chapters.

Salamon: Anyway, to quicken this, and end the story, soon hopefully... Salamon2 doesn't own Digimon.

            The beach was calm, nothing seemed to bother it at all, and the cool ocean breeze and waves hit it perfectly, putting two Digimon onto the sand.  The marine demon smiled, from the air, after seeing this, he grabbed the two Digimon and took off with them.  Meanwhile out in the middle of the ocean, on floating tree logs were Tai and Joe, unconscious from their struggle to the surface to stay alive, the morning sun beating down on them.

            "Uggh..." moaned Tai as he slowly and weakly moved about on the wet slimy tree.

            "How is it possible that these trees came from the bottom of the middle of the ocean?" asked Joe tiredly.

            "Never question fate..." said Tai groggily, and with that said a large jet of water sprouted up from the water.

            "You had to tell me now..." said Joe as the jet seemed to get stronger and stronger until Whamon appeared.

            "Whamon!" shouted Tai with excitement, as though he was seeing a boat.

            "Hello there... TAI!  JOE!  What are you doing out here in the middle of the Antlainin Sea?" asked Whamon shooting another jet of water into the air.  Tai and Joe explained their battle with MarineDevimon.

            "Yes... I'll give you two a ride back to Server..." said Whamon, opening his mouth and sucking in Joe and Tai.  Once inside Tai found several other slimy trees in Whamon's mouth.

            "Whamon... why are there trees in this ocean?" asked Tai

            "Cause this ocean used to be a valley... in fact the top most peaks of what used to be mountains are still here..." said Whamon

            "But does that mean the Water level was lower when this was a valley?" asked Joe

            "No, the mountain walls were higher and the valley was like an island, that went below the sea level to the bottom of the ocean... but after years and years of erosion some of the sides of the mountains caved in and flooded the valley... the island had been called Atlaini, so in honor of the Digimon who died we renamed the ocean the Atlainin Sea..." said Whamon

            "Whoa... how long ago did this valley exist?" asked Tai

            "Oh... about four years ago it disappeared... We're here..." said Whamon, opening his mouth to show the beach they had been trying to get to, on Ikkakumon.

            "Thanks Ikkakumon!" shouted Joe and Tai as they exited the whale Digimon.

            "You're welcome... and if you ever need any more help, just call!" said Whamon, jumping into the air and back to the bottom of the ocean.

            "Where are we?" asked a six year old girl with pink hair.

            "I don't know..." said six year old boy, with strawberry blonde hair, as they looked down from their platform surrounded by a weird force field, looking down they could not see the bottom of the cave, they could see an entrance from which a large marine demon came through, which scared them both.

            "Did you get the Digimon?" asked a dark, floating orb, which was very near them.  The marine demon showed what appeared to be two oversized easter eggs.  The orb laughed and then a dark light shown to two other oversized easter eggs, in a weird container, which had opened with the light hitting it, it also was on a platform, but on the other side of the cave.  The marine demon put the two he held next to the other two eggs, and smiled.  "Good, now I've altered the two human's minds that SkullSatanmon brought, to not remember anything about Digimon, but they have retained their knowledge of one another... they will be my amusement while I wait to get what I want..." said the orb.

            "Izzy..." said the girl

            "Yeah..." said the boy

            "I'm scared..." said Mimi

            "Me too..." said Izzy and with that said, another strange grey light hit their platform and all of a sudden Mimi was being pulled closer to the orb.

            "NO!" shouted Izzy as she was pulled in closer and closer, not thinking, the six-year-old jumped off the platform towards the girl, and fell into the abyss below, missing her by six inches.

            "NO!  IZZY!" shouted Mimi as the boy fell to his doom, sharp stalagmites waiting at the bottom of the cave for him.  He saw his doom and closed his eyes to wait for the end to come.

            "Master, I have arrived..." shouted a female voice from another part of the cave.

            "Ahh... good..." said the orb and Mimi and Izzy were immediately transported back into their platform cage, Izzy falling to the floor of the platform, Mimi, looking at him to make sure he wasn't injured.

            Kari's eyes fluttered, LadyDevimon had done something to her to make her sleepy, all she could hear was the witch Digimon talking to someone.

"Good... place the boy on that platform...." said another voice.  Kari thought she recognized the voice, but couldn't picture where she had heard it before, she looked for the source of the voice, and looked to see a Dark shadow, floating right in front of her, it seemed to spread all over, she felt scared looking at it, and her head drooped and her chin hit her chest.

"But master, I've brought the Boy and the Girl..." said LadyDevimon, and with that said the Dark shadow seemed to intensify around her, as though it were about to surround and kill her.

"You... you have!  Well... LadyDevimon... you have made up for your foolish mistake... with both children's powers , I can rule all worlds, and leave this one, in which they imprisoned me in... put her on the same platform, and then hook her up to this machine..." said the Dark Shadow, and with these words said, she was placed down onto a cold floor, and suddenly she felt strength returning to her, and she sat up, and say as the Dark shadow placed a weird machine on the platform.  LadyDevimon tried to attach her to the machine, but with he new found strength, Kari fought.

"Why do you resist child?" questioned the shadow

"LET GO OF ME!" cried Kari gaining more strength and determination.

"Do you really want to be freed that badly?" asked the shadow and Kari stomped her foot on LadyDevimon's who then let go of Kari.

"YES!!  AND I WANT T.K. BACK TO THE WAY HE WAS!" shouted Kari at the shadow.

"Oh really... well... if you can get the boy to remember who he is, you can go free..." said the shadow

"NO!" said Kari knowing her deal with LadyDevimon

"Really?  Do you perhaps think I can't get what I want from both of you without your assistance... cause I can without... only... the process will kill you then..." said the shadow and it surrounded the girl more.

"You wouldn't dare!" shouted Kari

            "Don't dare me to... I've killed before... and I am not afraid to do it now..." said the shadow

            "Well then why don't you... right now!" said Kari

            "Because that will leave your little friend here all alone in the world... tell you what... if you can get the boy to remember you I'll let both of you go... no strings attached..." said the shadow inticesingly

            "Master don't!" said LadyDevimon

            "Shut up!" shouted the shadow and it attacked the fallen angel, and pushed it off the platform and down to the stalagmites, Kari thought for a second and agreed.

"Alright then... try..." said the shadow.  Kari immediately knelt to the side of the four-year-old.

            "Wake up... T.K... please wake up" said Kari and the small child's eyes fluttered and slowly opened.  "Good, you're up T.K..." said Kari smiling but the boy looked back at her confounded.

            "Who is T.K.?  I'm Takai..." said the boy

            "Don't you remember me T.K... it's me Kari..." said the girl a little more persistently.

            "I don't know anyone named Kari... and my name is TAKAI!" shouted Kai

            "You don't remember me do you..." said Kari with one last ounce of hope in her

            "If I did I'd sure know it!" said Kai

            "Well, it seems you have been unsuccessful..." said the shadow, and Kari hung her head in shame and a tear slowly rolled down her cheek.  MarineDevimon came and put her on the weird machine, which strapped her to a table, Kari didn't fight back at all, she just kept thinking 'this is all my fault...' over and over again in her head.  And when the girl was tightly secured the fallen angel Digimon flicked a switch and Kari felt as though something was pulling at her, before she lost consciousness.

            Kai just sat there watching, seeing the weird girl who had thought he was someone else being tied up and having a weird pink liquid drain out of her into a bottle.

            'Where am I?  Is this that Digimon's Masters' place?  Was that him that said to that girl that she was unsuccessful?  And why was she unsuccessful?' thought Kai as the bottle filled with more and more liquid.

            'What's happening to that girl?  Is she dieing because I didn't say the right thing or something?  Why does all the weird stuff always happen to me?' thought Kai as the bottle was almost half filled

            "Fill the bottle!" ordered the voice that seemed to surround Kai.

            "But sire... then..." started a weird demon like Digimon.

            "NO!  FILL THE BOTTLE!" shouted the voice and the machine continued.

            'What will happen if the bottle is filled?  Will she die?  I don't want anyone to die because of me!' thought Kai

            "It is filled master" said the Digimon, and he pressed a button and the straps released the girl and she fell to the floor.

            "good... now, bring me the bottle..." said the voice and the demon brought the bottle to the orb.

            "Here you go master..." said the demon and he poured and two droplets fell at first before a blue flash came and grabbed the bottle, but four drops fell into the orb, and a weird feeling struck the air.

            "GIVE THAT TO ME!" shouted demon to the blur which stopped at the entrance next to a green blur, until suddenly they stopped moving and there was a boy on a green bug like Digimon, and a boy on a dragon like Digimon.

            "I don't think so!" shouted the boy on the dragon Digimon.

            "MARINEDEVIMON!" shouted the orb, and the Digimon came towards Kai and adjusted the straps on the machine and grabbed Kai.  The boy on the dragon Digimon came charging at the platform, but hit a force field and fell, his Digimon dedigivolving, and the bottle left his hands.  The boy on the bug Digimon dove after it but a weird light from the orb 'caught' it and brought it to the orb, and with in a second the bottle's contents were gone, and the bug Digimon and the boy on it dove after the boy falling for the stalagmites.  Kai was being tightly strapped in.

            'What's happening?  Who were they?  Why were they trying to help me?' thought Kai just as the demon Digimon finished strapping Kai onto the table.

            "DAVIS!" cried out another voice

            'Maybe I am who that girl says I am... then how can I be who I am now?' thought Kai.  Davis suddenly disappeared from Ken's view, and then Ken fell onto a platform, Davis there as well, their Digimon gone.

            'AHHH!  What's happening to me? Am I dieing?' thought Kai as the button switched on and a yellow drop of liquid slowly came out.

            "He's fighting it!" shouted MarineDevimon

            "JUST FILL THE BOTTLE!" shouted the orb, and the Digimon did as he was told.  Ken and Davis both watched this, when their eyes had come out of the shocked state they had been in, they noticed that they now looked like they had when they were four.

            'Why did that girl think I was someone else?' thought Kai
