Yo everyone, TK's training really starts in this chapter... and I know the title
below is a yu-gi-oh magic card's name... but for this chapter it has other
meanings.

Seeking the light

Chapter Four- Swords of revealing Light
Daemon counted to ten, then counted to ten again. He gave a great sigh
as his anger abated, opening his dark eyes he looked at the young human child
in front of him.
Golden blond hair framed a friendly heart shaped face, in the face was a
set of beautiful blue eyes that seemed to radiate hope.
Yet if one dared to look further... and that was hard to do for some
reason, one could feel an ancient powerful entity... the true soul of TK.
It was so strange to see Hikari in this body, he still remembered Hikari
in his real form showing up at strange times and them teaming up to play
practical jokes.
Ah... those had been the days, yet... maybe one day he could do the same
with this version of Hikari.
"Sorry," TK said sheepishly, the young child scratched the back of his
head in embarrassment. Just a few seconds ago Daemon had started to teach... or
should he say re-teach TK, already TK had somehow blown something up.
"At least it was only sand," he said thoughtfully, he sweatdropped
slightly as he looked at the smoking gray sand only a few meters away.
"Ummm... yeah, but couldn't you of warned me that could of happened?" TK
asked, Daemon was glad at that moment that his face couldn't be seen through
the hood.
As it was he hadn't known that could of happened, he had just started
teaching TK how to create a soul sword... or more acutely a sword made out of
pure light. TK had been able to call up the light in his hands, Daemon had
seen that... then all had gone to hell... or the best it could in this dark world.
The light had exploded from the boy's slim hands and careened across the
gray sand by the dark ocean, then it contacted. It made a lovely fire, and
once it went out it would be a lovely scene of fused sand.
"Let's try this again TK, and this time face away from me," he said in a
dark voice, he looked down at the edge of his black robe and sighed at the
singed material.
'I really hope TK starts remembering something from his past, with
something more powerful he might just blow me up' Daemon thought, blowing up
was something he wasn't looking forward to.

Matt was glaring at the destined gathered, to the destined under his
glare it was as if twin blue laser beams were pinned on them.
As they had thought Matt was beyond raged, he was murderous because they
had let TK be taken.
"If we don't get back TK in one piece I will personally tear each of you
apart limb by limb, he growled, everyone nodded automatically to scared to
actually say anything to the blond.
"Izzy," Matt said turning to the red head, the computer genius froze as
he felt Matt's blue eyes settle on him. At the moment he was tapping at his
computer at almost superhuman speed, he was trying to track down where the
portal had taken TK... and how they could get there.
"Yes Matt?" he asked in the calmest voice he could, sadly it still came
out a little high pitched.
"Did you find anything?" Matt asked, Izzy could only sigh in relief (for
he had) and cleared his voice to answer.
"I've tracked down where TK was taken to, and I know how to get there
also," Izzy said, he then sweatdropped as everyone turned eager faces toward
him.
"Really, where?" Davis asked, Izzy sighed knowing that they wouldn't
like the answer.
"The dark ocean world, and to get there Ken will have to open a gate to
it using his D-3," he said, everyone paled while Ken went a little green at
the thought of opening a gate to the dark world.
"Daemons in the dark world," Kari finally said quietly, everyone
shivered especially Ken. All of them remembered the demon type mega,
especially the fact they had trapped it in the dark ocean world.
"Everyone gather everything you need, we need to move fast... TK's life
depends on it," Matt said, everyone nodded and after agreeing to meet back in
half an hour ran to gather what they needed to go to the dark world.
***
A flash of light filled a dark abandoned alley quickly followed by a
small scream, the light vanished to be followed by a large thump.
"Ohhhh... my head," a male voice groaned, in the alley Bakura slowly got
to his feet and rubbed the quickly forming bruise... formed by his head meeting
the concrete covering the ground.
"Hey, get off me," Yugi shouted with pain, Bakura turned and could only
wince. They always small teen had landed first from the portal, unfortunately
he hadn't moved fast enough to get out of the way for the others. On top of
him was the senshi of time in her normal clothing and Amy, the weight of the
two must be hurting the tri haired teens badly.
The two finally realized what had happened, quickly the two senshi
leaped of the smaller teen.
"Sorry Yugi," Amy said blushing slightly, Yugi sighed and got up with a
wince.
"Don't worry about it, it was an accident," he said, his puzzle glowed
and Yami appeared beside his light... he glared at the two senshi.
"Be more careful," he said darkly, the two nodded not liking the glare
he was sending them... it was kind of creepy.
(Hey, it looks like we had two hitchhikers on the ride here) Kage
finally said, Bakura blinked at his dark side's words and sighed. He now
noticed two small figures, one white and one black trying to hide from the
group.
"Luna... Artimus... nice try, but I see you," Bakura said, at his words
everyone turned surprised as two moon cats sheepishly came fully into sight.
"My, looks like the fun has finally begun," Raito said in an amused
voice, Bakura for one didn't know if the two moon cats would make this harder
or easier.
'Hikari hold on, soon everything will be alright' he thought, he only
hoped everything would turn out all right.
***
TK forced his body to relax, to learn the soul sword technique he had to
learn to reach inside him to his soul. His eyes were closed blocking out the
outside world; finally all he could hear was his own breathing and the beating
of his heart.
'Stay clam' he thought to himself, he had to do this right or he would
probably never learn how to do this right.
As it was everything was going better then he thought it would be,
Daemon was being nicer then TK thought he'd be.
DM was soon going to teach him magic. Magic... that was something he had
read about in fantasy books and in movies. To actually learn some was amazing.
Then suddenly... just as he was about to actually reach the point of
calling up the soul sword, the dark ocean world seemed to shift.
"Huh?" he said opening his eyes, his concentration gone the power he had
been gathering vanished.
"Interruptions," DM said in annoyance, they all turned to see a portal
opening... and TK could feel for some reason it led to the real world.
"Not now, why does everything I do have to be interrupted," Daemon
snarled angrily, TK only sweatdropped. He knew one of those things had been
interrupted by the digi-destined, after all Daemon had been after the dark
spore that lay inside Ken's neck its powers asleep.
'What now?' he thought, could it get any way weirder.
***
Ken was in pain, opening a portal to the dark ocean wold made his mind
feel like it was on fire. His teeth clenched together and he felt a drop of
blood drip from his nose, opening a door with his D-3 was putting a lot of
strain on his body.
His friends seemed a million miles away from him as he opened the gate,
at the edge of his mind he could feel them holding him up... he gave a gasp of
relief as a gray/Black portal appeared in front of him.
"Just few seconds more Ken," he heard a distant voice said, it belonged
to Yolei but in his state it sounded more like someone speaking very far away.
"Hurry everyone, Ken can't keep it open long... it will be easy to open a
gate home from the dark ocean world," he distantly heard Izzy say, everyone
rushed into the portal while Yolei and Cody helped the ex-Emperor through the
portal.
The next thing the blue haired genius knew he was standing on gray sand
in a dark world, he blinked and shivered at the memories this place brought
him... things he would rather forget.
"I swear, more and more people are learning to open portals to this
realm," an amused and slightly annoyed voice said, startled the group turned
to find themselves looking at the purple garbed man. This startled them, while
they all looked black and white this strangely dressed man was in full color.
"Who are you, and where's my brother!" Matt demanded angrily, the man
blinked sapphire eyes and smiled slightly.
"Matt?" a surprised voice said, suddenly from behind the purple garbed
man a familiar figure walked... everyone gave a sigh of relief.
"TK... your okay," Matt said relief evident in his voice, TK smiled. It
was then that Ken noticed someone just behind the blond, someone that still
gave him nightmares.
"Daemon," Ken whispered, yet this caught everyone's attention and they
too noticed the demon digimon.
"Destined," Daemon snarled, everyone tensed and TK sweatdropped.
***
Daemon snarled, of all things why had those blasted children come with
there blasted partners... he had just gotten to the point that TK was about to
call up his soul sword.
He could tell that Dark Magician was also angry, the shadow monster had
been looking forward to teaching this version of Hikari... Hell he was even
starting to like the idea of Hikari as a destined.
'They must of come to retrieve TK, but I can't let him go now especially
when his training's just begun... I have too much work left to do' he thought
angrily, he narrowed his eyes ready for battle.
"Too bad for you destined, TK won't be leaving today," he said in his
darkest voice, as it was he didn't want the destined to know what was going on
and that he actually like the small blond known as TK.
***
TK sighed as things quickly went to hell, the other destined digivolved
there partners and attacked Daemon and DM. DM they couldn't touch, the
magician just seemed to vanish just before any attacks hit.
Daemon though looked like he was having a great time, he knew it was
probably because he was eager for a battle he would win... after all he had lost
last time he had fought the destined.
Because of all this he couldn't get to the destined, and because of the
explosions he knew Patamon had no chance to fly over to him.
"TK," Matt suddenly called in horror, a stray attack was heading for the
young blond... and TK knew there was no chance for him to escape.
Time seemed to slow for TK, it was as if the world had been put into
slow motion mode... memories flashed across his mind.
'No... I can't die, its not time yet' he thought, then time went back to
normal and the world flared with light.
***
"Nooo!!!" Kari screamed as the attack hit her friend, the world seemed
to freeze. They all waited for the explosion to fade, and the mangled body of
the blond to fall.
"..." she said, as the dust from the explosion fell to the ground a scene
unexpected they saw.
TK was still standing... unhurt of all things, but in his hands he held an
object. It looked like a sword of some type, the hilt of it had beautiful
designs on it, the blade was the most amazing though. The blade seemed to be
made out of light and radiated power, something you only saw in anime.
"A sword of light," Izzy whispered, turning slightly she saw was wide
eyed... as it was she was wide eyed also.
"Where can I get one of those," Angewomon said in awe, it was at that
moment Daemon struck.
"See you later destined," the mega demon digimon sneered, the next thing
they were all aware of was falling into darkness.
***
TK couldn't believe it; finally he had managed to use a soul sword... in
his hands rested a sword whose blade was made out of pure light. He saw the
stunned looks on the other destined faces, he wondered how they would react if
they learned he had actually created it.
"See you later destined," Daemon sneered, suddenly his friends seemed to
fade reality... he turned a fearful look at the mega digimon.
"Oh don't worry, I just sent them back to the real world," Daemon said
with a dark chuckle, TK sighed in relief... he had actually feared Daemon had
killed them all or something.
"I'll be right back," DM said, startled TK looked at the purple garbed
creature... in the beginning he had thought DM human but he knew that DM only
appeared human.
"Where are you going?" he asked, the purple garbed man grinned.
"I'm just going to make sure the destined can't open a portal to the
dark world again or anyone helping them open one, we won't be able to train
you if we keep getting interrupted," DM explained, TK nodded slightly.
"I guess," he said softly, with that DM vanished.
"Now back to training, you still have lots of things to learn... like the
many abilities of that sword of light your holding," Daemon said in his usual
gruff voice, TK sighed and knew it would be quite awhile till he would se his
friends again.

Yawn... I really have to write this series earlier in the day, by the time I
finish a chapter I'm half asleep on my feet (or in my case in a chair since
I'm sitting). If you noticed I brought the gang to the digimon02 world, I
still haven't decided how they're going to meet the destined.
