I was absolutely bewildered! What was going on? Before I even had a moment to comtemplate it, I was grabbed by that Larzalere guy by the neck.
"So, my dear Hikari, what will it be? Make your choice!"
I didn't know what was going on, but I could tell Kari was upset. However, I couldn't really say anything because of Larzalere's hand over my throat.
With tears in her eyes, Kari finally said, "All right, you win! I'll do anything you want, just let them all go!"
He dropped me, and Alma dragged me away again. It was all going so fast that I only had time to say, "Kari, wait!"
I was dragged through the halls again, but I never did go back to the prison cell. I was thrown out the door.
"If you'll wait a few moments, your other friends will be here in a minute." Alma turned back and left me outside. I couldn't believe it! Why were they just letting us go?
Momentarily, Alma returned with Davis and, surprisingly since he wasn't in our group to begin with, Ben. They were thrown out and the door slammed shut.
"TK! I thought I'd never see you again! I thought you'd be killed or something!" It appeared as though Davis had forgiven me... at least a little bit.
"Why is he here?"
Ben gave me a cold look, but Davis actually stood up for him. "Don't be mad at him, TK. He's just a kid."
Grudgingly, I didn't mention it further, although I still wondered why they let him go, too.
We began walking around the edge of the castle, when a side panel shifted and our digital pals came tumbling out.
"Patamon!"
"TK!"
"Veemon!"
"Davis!"
"Otamamon!"
"Ben!"
It was a warm reunion for all of us, and I swear that I saw a bit of color return to Ben's face.
Now that we were all together again, we had to talk.
"Davis, they have Kari under some kind of spell or something. She looks a lot older, too."
"Dude... that's rough. How are we supposed to help her from out here?"
"At least it's better than in that cell!" I kicked the dirt.
"I know someone..." we all looked at Ben, who was holding Otamamon like he'd never let him go again. "Well, I think I do. Someone who could help us."
"Who?" Veemon asked.
"There's this guy. He lives a kind of far from here. I escaped... once, and found him. He tried to help me, but he wasn't strong enough."
"Well, what makes you think he can help us now?" Patamon, in his usual spot atop my head, was skeptical.
"He said that he was weakened by a spell and that he couldn't get the cure. If we helped him, he could help us."
"Are you absolutely sure?" I asked.
"Positive! And if not, I'm sure he could at least get us back here fast enough."
"Dude, what're we waiting for?" Davis was overly excited. "Veemon! Digi- armor energize!"
"Veemon armor digivolve to... Raidramon!"
We all climbed onto Raidramon and, under Ben's direction, made our way to help... maybe.
