Ahhh... I can't believe how late last chapter came out. But it did come out;

hopefully you aren't really mad at me. Anyway, I hope you noticed that I put

in a bit of Digimon 03 last chapter, I had to have a bit of humor in it. Also

I put a song in this chapter, it's 'Everything Changes' from the pokemon CD

'2.B.A. Master'.

Seeking the light

By Firehedgehog

Chapter Twenty- on wings of angels

      Now only one group of fighters stood ready for battle, for some reason

they had not fought while the others fought. Now they stood across from each

other, an invisible line between them.

      It was time for the final battle to begin, the battle that would decide

the fate of TK's soul.

~

      TK stared with his sapphire eyes at his opponent; he was facing someone

he had hoped to never have to. He felt as if part of him was breaking, the

part of him that remembered he was Hikari seemed to be crying.

Your heart's beating around the clock

Time's tickin' away it doesn't stop

Evolution is taking place

The world is spinnin' and changin' everyday

Anything you think of with a name

There isn't anything in life, that ever stays the same

      But everything had changed, he was no longer the person Kage loved... he

was TK now. He had evolved in a way; he had grown... grown past being Hikari... a

new destiny.

      It was a cruel thing he knew to say, but it was true. Part of him still

loved the pale haired tomb raider, but... he gazed at the unconscious form of

Davis.

      'I'm sorry Kage, but you have to move on... I can't be Hikari anymore' he

thought sadly, and... he wanted to be TK.

      "You shouldn't of come," TK said quietly, he knew this so why couldn't

Kage understand this. But he knew why, Kage loved Hikari, and to bring Hikari

back he needed Hikari's soul.

      'My soul. If my soul is taken back to that body I will still be TK not

Hikari. Hikari did die that day only the body remains, I don't want to be put

into that body. I am TK, and no matter what Kage and the others do I will

still be TK' he thought, he only wished they would see the truth.

      "I know, but I can't let go... I love him too much," Kage said, he looked

up his dark eyes filled with determination.

      A gentle breeze went by them, golden blond hair and spiky white hair

swayed in its breeze.

      "But in the end you will, for it is destiny," TK whispered with a sigh,

he hated to do this... but he must. He gathered his powers and concentrated,

suddenly a huge globe of light surrounded Kage, Bakura, his partners and

himself... cutting them off from everything else and quite a large space.

***

      Kage's eyes widened as TK's eyes suddenly glowed, less then a

millisecond later a huge orb of light surrounded the five of them. He realized

right away there was no way out, he couldn't see out and he had a feeling that

no one could see in.

      One of the Angel like creatures with the blond boy looked startled, but

he quickly recovered... but he was looking at TK with a strange look on his

face.

      "I was Hikari in one life but in this one I am TK, child of hope for the

digidestined. In my last life I had a large destiny, I still have a destiny in

this one but one that is smaller," TK suddenly said and Kage gasped his eyes

wide, that wasn't TK speaking... it was Hikari.

      It was still TK's voice, but it held the knowledge of something so much

more... and the boy's eyes seemed to hold eternity and more.

      "Hikari," he whispered, TK shook his head no.

      "I am TK now Kage, I will not be able to return your love in this

lifetime no matter what your other half or yourself do. I am happy in the life

I have now, but... if you try to take this life from me," TK whispered, he then

turned angry eyes to the white haired Egyptian... something Hikari had never

given Kage.

      "I will stop you, and I will use all that I have at my disposal," TK

said in a whisper. It was so low he almost didn't hear it, but something in

them made him feel a chill.

      "No... I will have Hikari back, and even if I have to kill you to do it I

will," Kage cried tears flowing down his face, he whipped out his cards and

summoned the first card that came to his hand.

***

      Angemon had finally realized something; TK was more then human. It was

more then the fact his eyes had just glowed and they had been enveloped a

glowing orb of light... TK's entire aura was glowing with more energy then

Angemon had ever seen.

      The things his partner had just said explained many things; Kage was

connected with who TK was in his last life. A last life he was clearly not

human, and somehow... it had carried over to this life. It had amazed him when

TK had spoken, in it he had felt something ancient... he had felt as if he

should be bowing to TK.

      If he did that he would have to do it later, at the moment he was being

attacked by a monster... that had come out of a card of all things. Daeangemon

was also fighting off a card creature; he had one thing to say... his darker

counterpart was a good fighter.

      For, a dark digimon that is.

      Then he realized that no one was near enough by TK to guard him, he

quickly flew towards the blond.

      'Great, and that Kage human is heading towards TK' Angemon thought, at

the moment Kage was walking towards TK a third card in hand.

      "TK!" he cried in a panic, then TK did something that surprised him... he

smiled.

      "Don't worry, I'll take care of him," TK said in an almost deadly calm

voice, he then held up one of his hands... and light began to form there.

***

      Like DM and Daemon had taught him TK concentrated, he concentrated his

power and even his soul... it began to appear as a light in his right hand. Then

suddenly the light flared, and once again he held his soul sword.

      The sword was made out of pure light, light so pure it could be used as

a weapon against anything... even an kami if he wished. But now that he

remembered things from his time as Hikari he knew what the symbols on the hilt

meant, they meant balance... and in a way he was a creature of balance.

      He could feel the others stunned emotions at his display of calling up

the soul sword, the only one not stunned was Daeangemon... who in truth was

Daemon.

Everything has gotta' change

You take a chance, you throw the dice

You risk it all, it's just a part of life

You hold it tight, to what you know

You can't hold back, you gotta' let it go

Every little step that you embrace

One road ends, another begins and

Takes you to a better place

      "I am of the light and of the darkness, I cannot be contained or

controlled by others. I bring balance to the unbalanced. There is no place

just chaos or order exists, and you have decided to interfere with me," TK

whispered, he held his sword in an attack position.

      His eyes glowed briefly with his power; he had a feeling this battle

would be different then others... much different.

***

      Kage quickly had to change tactics when TK came after him with a sword,

grabbing a magic card with a sword he used it to call up the sword. It looked

like a normal enough sword with a ruby in the hilt, but it gave off a dark

aura [not a real magic card].

      He winced as TK's sword hit his own, it was so strong sparks flew into

the air. It was so hard his wrist hurt, he hadn't known TK knew how to use the

sword.

      "I won't loose, I will have TK back," he growled to the younger boy, TK

looked at him with those all so familiar eyes and sighed sadly.

      "And I cannot let that happen Kage," he answered in a tight voice, both

then used the force from the swords connecting to part.

      The swords met in a parry of blows, he winced as one well aimed strike

scratched his left cheek deep enough to draw blood. Already his clothing were

ripped from TK's sword, thankfully he was good enough with the sword to rip

TK's clothing... but sooner or later he himself would draw blood.

      Suddenly Kage realized that the two Angel like creatures had destroyed

his monsters, looked like he would have to use a much more powerful monster to

win this fight... and definitely before TK used his sword to gut him.

Everything changes, changes

      "Well, looks like things just got interesting," Kage said, then a smirk

he summoned his next monster.

      (Kage what are you doing, I used most of my energy to support the other

two monsters... I don't have enough left for you to control it) Bakura suddenly

shouted in his mind, it was at that moment Kage felt his other pass out from

the overuse of energy.

      Kage wanted to swear, he didn't have enough energy to control this

monster without his other half's energy, but it was too late to stop the

monster from coming.

      Unknown to many, like the three god cards there were three Demon cards...

one that he had just used. A huge beast appeared, looking like a very demonic

minotaur from legend but one that looked even scarier, one that he couldn't

control at the moment. [Not a real card; made it up].

      It turned demonic eyes at its summoner, Kage felt fear go through him.

      "Shit," was the last thing he said, then the monster sent him into the

land of unconsciousness... joining the light side of his soul there.

***

      The next thing the three of the digimon dimension knew they were slammed

against a wall of the light orb, with a groan TK, angemon and daeangemon fell

to the ground.

      "What the hell is that thing?" the dark angel growled, TK could only

gasp... he had heard of this creature. He had hoped he would never meet it, from

what he remembered the three demon shadow monsters... the counterparts of the

god cards could give him the run for his money.

      "Hutaour the demon Shadow monster," TK whispered in awe and fear, from

what he could tell... this monster was more powerful then him... especially since

TK didn't have access to all his power.

      The three of them were once again slammed backwards by the demonic

creature, TK could only scream as one of his ribs were broken and his two

partners data became unstable.

      "TK," both angels whispered, TK felt tears fall down his face... then it

came to him of what he had to do.

      "Angemon, Daeangemon... by now you both know I'm not truly human. What I'm

about to do will startle you, I'm going to change to my true form," he

whispered, this way he would have all his powers and abilities.

      "Do it," angemon said, Daeangemon nodded... they trusted him... and TK's

form was blasted with light and within TK changed.

      Because his human form was Young TK's true for was also younger and

stood the same height, his skin was now a golden color that gave him a very

exotic look. He still looked very human in the end, that is if you didn't see

the rest of him.

      Huge white angel like wings came from his back, his face was also now

Slightly more mature but still childlike with slim long pointed ears. His eyes

were now slanted, while they were still blue his shadow heritage showed in the

slit pupils. His hair was now pure white and fell to his knees in a loose

ponytail, his body still had that unfinished look all children had and his

human form had.

      His clothing changed also but not to his old outfit he had worn in this

form, he wore new modern clothing. He wore a white silk shirt with gold trim

and this time it had the symbol of hope on the middle of his chest, form

fitting white jeans covered his slim legs and slim white leather boots covered

his feet. All along his clothing were strange symbols with meaning only those

of the light realm knew... they told many important things to the creatures

there.

      Once the light faded TK stood there in all his glory, he could feel the

awe coming off his partners... even Daeangemon who had seen this form before...

even though it had been a very long time ago.

      "TK," Angemon said in awe, apparently he hadn't expected TK's true form

to look like an angel. His transformation had also blinded the demon shadow

monster; it would be at least a minute before he could see again.

      "Yeah it's me, don't worry... I'll always need you," he said truthfully,

he felt his partners relief... they had evidentially feared that he wouldn't

need them any more.

      But he did need them; his powers weren't returning fast enough... and if

he didn't hurry the two-angel digimon would be deleted. Also they were his

best friends, he couldn't stand the thought of them not in his life.

      "TK, let us merge with you... that way we can all defeat him," Daeangemon

suddenly shouted, TK and angemon looked at Daeangemon with interest.

      "Is that even possible, I'm not a digimon?" TK asked frowning, unlike

his true form when it was older his true form when he was younger sounded

exactly the same.

      "It's possible, but we will only be able to hold the merged form for

five minutes," Daeangemon answered, TK looked at angemon who nodded. This

would work, and it would be an interesting thing to experience.

      "Let's do it," TK said all serious, and they had to hurry for the shadow

creature was starting to be able to see again.

      Suddenly the two angel digimon bodies erupted into data, at first he

felt panic but it soon subsided when he felt it surrounded him and began to

enter him.

      Like his transformation to his true form, TK's body once again erupted

into light... but since the shadow creature was already blinded it didn't affect

him.

      Once the light faded, the merged form of the three angelic creatures

stood there. He looked much the same as before, but now he had two more sets

of wings, one was exactly like Daeangemons wings, the other looked like

Angemons. He now wore black leather boots and two black belts around his

waist, around his eyes there was a metal visor that he could see through. Each

of these things were something from the two digimon, different from what they

had worn... but there's all the same.

      In his hands was a crystal staff, he was an angel of all realms.

      "Time to face your end, it's time for you to return to the shadows," the

angel said in TK's voice, but there seemed to be a bit of an echo to it.

***

      Matt and the others had finally arrived at the fight, they quickly

gathered around the light barrier that hid TK from view.

      They quickly realized they couldn't touch it or get through it, every

time they came in contact with it they were rebounded back roughly.

      "TK," Matt whispered tears in his eyes, his hand reached out and touched

the surface as best as he could... his brother he knew was somewhere inside this

thing fighting for his life.

      'Be careful TK, I'm counting for you to come out safe and sound... I don't

know what I'd do without you' Matt thought, but at the moment he could only

wait.

***

      Blue eyes opened behind a metal visor, slim hands gripped a powerful

crystal staff.

      'I can hear you brother, don't worry for I will win' the merged being

that was TK thought, how he knew what Matt was thinking he didn't know. But at

the moment he didn't care, he had a battle to win.

      [Insert battle music, at the moment I'm listening to the battle song

that was in the episode of Sailormoon VS Wiseman]

      "Hutaour your time is at its end, it is time for you to return to the

shadow realm for eternity," TK sad in a calm voice, then the two creatures

leapt towards each other [by then Hutaour was able to see again].

      TK quickly lunged forward with his staff; he frowned as the beast was

able to knock it back with a large clawed hand.

      "I will winnnnnn!" Hutaour actually said in a terrifying voice,

thankfully this didn't startle TK... after all he already knew shadow realm

creatures could speak.

      "You will not, I will not allow it," TK said, at that moment both

gathered their powers and sent it towards the other in hope of their

destruction.

      TK sweated as he continued to blast his power towards Hutaour, he had

never expected Hutaour to be so strong... even while he didn't have all his

powers at the moment he was still very powerful.

      'I can't loose, if I do this monster will escape by light orb and attack

this dimension' TK thought, he closed his eyes as images came to him.

      Matt reading to him as a child, the time they spent together in the

digital world.

      Tai doing something stupid, but always a good friend and role model.

      Sora smiling, and acting like a big sister.

      Joe cleaning a cut and patiently watching over him.

      Izzy helping him with homework, making everyone confused with computer

talk.

      Mimi giving fashion advice, always giving her best for everything.

      Kari, a friend always and in love with him... but always his friend.

      Cody, intelligent and ready to give you a shoulder to lean on.

      Yolei, excitable and friendly... always ready to pitch in to help.

      Ken; a genius always and always happy to make new friends.

      Davis, a gogglehead like Tai but different... the person he had fallen n

love with.

      There digimon, best friends and family... something everyone should have.

      Family...

      'Please everyone, give me strength' he thought tears falling down his

face, it was at this moment that he needed them the most. He was powerful but

not at full power, at the moment he needed the ones he considered family.

***

      Outside and even far away those mentioned gasped, it felt as if someone

needed them... and somehow they granted that person all there strength.

***

      "Thank you," TK whispered, at that moment his body was enveloped by

light... and guided by his friends hearts changed once again.

      Standing there now was a new angel with one set of pure white wings, he

wore white robes with all the destined symbols and symbols of the light realm.

His hair hung loose to his ankles and was now a silvery blue in color; his

ears were round now also. His skin was now only slightly golden in color, his

eyes were still slanted and the same as his true form. He wore fingerless

silver gloves that went to his elbows, on his feet he wore simple white

slipper-shoes that had the symbol of the light realm on them. He also looked a

bit older, more around his brother's age.

      "Thank you everyone, I will use your strength wisely," TK said, his

voice now sounded like an older version of TK's human voice.

      Suddenly his power he was sending to Hutaour blasted with light and

energy, he kept on blasting away his power increasing with every passing

second.

      "Goodbye Hutaour," TK yelled, at that moment the world erupted into

white light.

      [End battle music}

~

      "You did it," a voice said, with a gasp TK turned to face himself... or

more acurtly the part of him that was Hikari.

      "I won," he said happily.

      "Yes, but now it's time to return to real time... and don't worry...

everything will turn out all right for us," Hikari whispered to TK, TK smiled.

      "You know, I still think it's weird to talk to an image in my mind," he

said, Hikari grinned.

      "It's better then nothing," the memory if Hikari pointed out.

~

      In the light orb two light orbs left TK and formed into the unconscious

forms of Patamon and Dark patamon, now only TK stood there in his true form.

      "We won," he whispered, then exhausted he fell forward his body changing

back to his human one as he did so.

      His power exhausted the light orb around then faded away, what everyone

saw was the unconscious forms of everyone and no idea of who had won... but a

feeling inside them said that TK had.

TBC

FH= wow, I can't believe I made this chapter so long. It would have been

longer, but I talked myself out of doing certain things... that would of lead to

another sequel and I don't want another one.

R.Calumon= We hoped you liked the chapter, now we plan to fall asleep on the

couch exhausted. We finished this real late at night.

FH= No hints of what happens next time, as it is I have no clear idea myself

so suggestions welcome... up to a point that is.
