Chapter Thirty- In the darkness...

      Wind rushed against his wings in wild gusts, for birds it would have sent them crashing to the ground... but to TK they were nothing.

      His blue eye's narrowed at the monster ahead of him, he had never expected to meet Ratharin in this life... or in his last life either.

      "Ratharin," he called once he was high enough, he felt an inner chill feeling the life force of Bakura and Yugi in Ratharin's grasp.

      "Ah, Hikari... or should I call you TK in this life," the monster sneered,

TK frowned and pulled his wings in away that it would be easy to fly out of range if necessary.

      "Ratharin, let them go... they have nothing to do with this," TK said angrily, Ratharin laughed... a laugh that grated on TK's tightly wound nerves.

      "Ah... but they do, I feel your power in the objects they wear. And I know, that you care for them," Ratharin sneered, the giant monster then absently smacked a huge tank away from his feet.

      "Ratharin, let only us fight this battle... let them go," TK told Ratharin, Ratharin smirked at this.

      "Sounds good, then I can destroy you without distractions. By the way, I hate your new form as much as I hated your true form," Ratharin snarled, TK frowned.

      With a flick of his wrist Ratharin threw the two dark orbs, they bounced on the pavement a few blocks away. Then they popped; on the ground lay two very dizzy teens.

      'Good they're okay' TK thought in relief, he watched as Yugi and Bakura get up and run to shelter... hopefully to make some plan to fight Ratharin.

      "Now... it's time for us to truly begin to fight, and me to have more fun," Ratharin sneered, and before TK could protest both Ratharin and himself were swallowed by darkness.

***

      "TK!" Matt screamed in terror, he had just seen his brother {he had recognized him even in that angelic form} swallowed up by darkness and vanished with Ratharin.

      Where both had stood {or Floated} was empty, all that showed that a battle had taken place was the torn up streets and destroyed buildings.

      He fell to his knees his sapphire eyes going dull, it felt as if his whole world was breaking apart piece by piece.

      'Please be okay TK, I almost lost you before... I don't want to loose you again' he thought tears flowing down his face, he was still like that when the other destined found him. His partner; still unconscious in his arms.

***

      TK groaned as he slowly came too; whatever Ratharin had done it had sent him through a loop.

      "Owe," the angelic being said, he blinked his eyes for there were purple spots in them... finally normal eyesight came back.

      "Woah," TK said startled, wherever Ratharin had taken tem he didn't recognize the place.

      The place was like nothing he could describe, and that was probably because it was nothing.

      In the beginning there had been the void of nothingness, he remembered the nothingness... but it felt as if this nothingness had once been something.

      "Okay, this is new," he said, looking don at himself he realized that he was still in the merged form... but he still couldn't feel a time limit to it this time.

      Terrible and familiar laughter filled the air.

      "Do you like it, I started creating it while I was captive all that time," Ratharin said, TK stood up {how you stood in nothingness I don't know, but he did}.

      "So, this is it," he said softly, the demented monkey smirked eyes flashing.

      "Oh yes, you're end," Ratharin told him, TK narrowed his sapphire eyes which gleamed with Inner Light.

      "Not yet, I feel that my final end isn't for a very long time yet," TK whispered softly, then to Ratharin startlement TK smiled.

      "After all, even if this body is destroyed and my soul destroyed part of me will still exist," TK smirked, he looked straight at Ratharin with eyes as cold as ice.

      "Unlike you," he said coldly, Ratharin screamed in rage.

      "You'll regret that TK I will destroy you totally for eternally," he screamed, with a rage with roar he rushed forward to destroy the angel. {you can start the battle music now}.

      "Bring it on Ratharin," TK said, with that he himself rushed forward wings flaring with light his hair a banner behind him.

***

      In a shelter a fox like creature slowly woke, Raito opened his eyes and winced as light seeped into them. He moaned as pain coursed through him; one good thing about total unconsciousness... one usually didn't feel the pain.

      His breathing came in weazing gasps, he hurt everywhere... and he knew without even trying to move that he wouldn't be able to move for quite some months before feeling no terrible.

      'Strange why did I wake, with my injuries I shouldn't be waking up for some hours yet' he thought frowning, thankfully his face wasn't hurt much so he could do so.

      Then it dawned on him, he could no longer feel the battle going on... there was nothing but the normal after battle sounds and ambulance sirens in the distance.

      'Hikari, I can't feel Hikari' he thought in shock, even in this version of hikari he had always been able to feel his friends pure soul... now it was missing like a void in his heart.

      'Where is he, he couldn't be dead... I'd know if he was dead' the kitsune thought, this weighed heavily upon him... what had happened while he was unconscious.

***

      Yami, are you okay? Yugi asked his other half eyes closed, his darker half hadn't spoken for awhile and they were free of those dark orb like things.

      Just very tired Yami replied, Yugi sighed in relief... he had been terrified that he had lost the other half of his soul.

      I was worried about you Yugi whispered through their link, suddenly he was engulfed in a warm hug.

      Opening his eyes, Yugi found himself being hugged by Yami. The darek half of his soul looked down at him with weary eyes, he was still very tired by the orb draining him.

      "I know Yugi, but I'm alright now," Yami told him, Yugi smiled and sighed in relief.

      Thank goodness Yugi thought; he touched the puzzle feeling it's comforting presence... one that reminded him of Hikari for some reason.

      "Don't scare me like that again," Yugi told his other, Yami actually chuckled lightly.

      Don't worry, I won't Yami promised. Yugi smiled. But his thought trailed to Hikari who in this world was TK, he could not but think that the blond was in trouble.

***

      In another area, a-young pre-teen with reddish-brown spiked hair and goggles perched in them stood. Piercing brown eyes stared at the spot Ratharin and the angelic TK had just been moments before.

      "Why..." he whispered trailing off, tears slipped down his face.

      "Why what Davish?" a blue and white small dragonic creature asked, Davis looked down at the small form of demi-veemon.

      "Why is life so unfair, I find love and I think it's about to be torn eternally away from me," Davis whispered, he hugged the in-training digimon to his chest I comfort... he could only hope that everything would turn out all right.

      "TK," he whispered, the world seemed so unfair.

      As if agreeing with him the sky became covered with dark clouds, soon rain fell hitting his slim form and soaking it.

***

      In fact TK wasn't doing too well, even in this merged form with his 2 digimon partners (angemon and Daeangemon) he was loosing.

      Blood seeped through his clothing turning it crimson: his clothing was becoming shred's by the second.

      He wished his full power was back, but no... it was taking forever for his true form's power to return. It was kind of funny, this merged form created by three beings was less powerful then his true one at full power.

      It really sucked by the way.

      'I can't loose, if I do everything I care for in the digital world and the real world will be destroyed' TK thought through gasping breaths, his winced as one of Ratharin powerful swiped caused him to loose more feathers.

      'If I keep loosing feathers at this rate I won't be able to dodge him anymore, and worse of all. As long as I'm in this realm he created he'll have more then enough power to destroy me' TK thought, he gave a screamed as Ratharin hit him in the chest sending him crashing down... once again to land in nothing.

      "Davis... Koi, forgive... if only I had more power to use," TK whispered, he closed his eyes as Ratharin began to lower the final hit that would kill him.

***

      David gasped as a totally cold feeling went through him, it was as if he was about to loose something he loved with all his heart and soul.

      "Davish, whats wrong?" demi-veemon asked, apparently his partner had heard him gasp and knew something was the matter.

      "TK, something's wrong with TK," Davis whispered {Note: this takes place at the same time as the last scene}.

      "What is it?" demi-veemon asked, Davis didn't know how he knew it but he knew what it was {FH fall's over swirly eyes, did what Davis say make any sense}.

      "TK, TK's giving up," he whispered, his eyes darkened with pain.

      "TK DON'T GIVE UP, IF YOU GIVE UP ON THE FIGHT DON'T GIVE UP ON OUR LOVE!" Davis screamed into the sky, unnoticed to all his digivice glowed and on the screen words appeared.

      'Crest of Miracle's Activated'

      Suddenly golden light appeared around Davis and demi-veemon, then to there awe it flashed to the sky and vanished into white light.

      "Davish?" demi-veemon said.

      "Yeah?" Davis said looking up into the sky, the golden light had vanished but he wondered where it had gone: unnoticed by either the rain stopped and the sky cleared. Their minds were shocked by what they had seen, and because they weren't near other destined they couldn't ask them anything.

      "Did you do that?" demi-veemon asked pointing to where the light had vanished.

      "I don't know," Davis whispered truthfully, he only hoped that whatever had just happened would help TK.

***

      "..." TK said, shouldn't he be dead right now.

      Opening his eyes he blinked, the nothingness and Ratharin were frozen... looking down at himself he was surprised to find himself covered by halo of golden light.

      "What's going on?" he said in confusion, frowning he realized he couldn't feel any pain from his many wounds.

      "This is the power of Miracles, sent by love to you by your loved one... will you take it to defeat this evil... you mustn't give up," a voice said, startled TK looked around.

      "Who said that?" he said looking around, yet saw no one.

      "I am the power of miracles, and I have always been here... but this time your power is allowing you to hear my voice," the voice said, a smirk crept up onto the angelic beings face.

      "Your right I can't give up, Davis loves me... and if I loose Ratharin will destroy all I love," TK said, the power of miracles felt smug to TK suddenly.

      "Let's do this," TK said, and light engulfed him.

      TK felt the golden light fill him, as it changed him he wondered how Davis had sent it to him... and how had he activated the digiegg of Miracles. But if he had learned anything about Davis since they first met, anything was possible for one that believed in others and themselves.

      Then the light was gone, and time resumed.

***

      Ratharin sneered; he had done it... he had destroyed the bane of his existence.

      Then he realized something: he felt nothing... not even the destroyed substance that was TK. Lifting up its hand/paw he looked under it. Nothing greeted his eyes.

      'Then where is TK?' he thought confused.

      Suddenly he was thrown painfully quite a distance, with a growl he spun around... and froze.

      It was someone he didn't recognize, but right away something inside him told him this was TK.

      Floating there was a figure wearing beautiful golden armor, in the chest area was a silvery-blue jewel with the symbol of unity glowing inside it. The figure in the armor looked to be about sixteen years old, golden eyes looked out from a slim heart shaped face with slightly pointed ears.

      White hair that reflected all colors (even those that weren't there) fell to the waist in a loose braid between beautiful wings of light, On his feet were golden armored boots covered with symbols. At least half of them were the symbols of the digidestined; some were of the light realm, and some from the shadow realm... and so many more.

      Around his slim waist was a belt; on its buckle was the symbol of miracles. On the belt was the sheath of a sword; on the hilt of the sword from what could be seen was also a jewel with the symbol of unity on it.

      "What is this!" Ratharin demanded; the figure looked at him with serious eyes.

      "I am a being that came into existence from the love of another, a miracle in the darkness... for you want to destroy the light. Without light there is no darkness, you upset the balance of reality... and that must be fixed," the newest version of TK said, his voice was beautiful and seemed to be of an angel that came from heaven.

      "Hah, you defeat me... never," Ratharin laughed, TK drew a beautiful sword that glowed with light.

      "So let it be your doom," he whispered, and flew towards the demonic monkey creature at terrifying speeds.

      Ratharin shot dark power at the angelic knight that TK was now, TK easily avoided it... as he came nearer he angeled his sword for the most effect.

      "Feel the power of Miracles," he cried, then he shot forward even faster... and went right though Ratharin.

      Ratharin screamed in pain and horror, suddenly golden light welled out of the chest wound gathering more and more power.

      "Goodbye Ratharin," TK said.

      Ratharin exploded into golden light, as his existence was destroyed balance was restored from what Ratharin had unbalanced.

      With Ratharin's defeat the power of miracles fell asleep and he fell back into his merge form from earlier... soon he slit back into his three forms.

      As they floated their in the nothingness TK smiled, he could still feel the power Davis had given him inside him... if darkness came again he wouldn't have to worry about being defeated.

      "It's time to go home," he whispered, he was totally exhausted for while separating his energy had healed their bodies.

      Using the last of his powers he opened a portal home, then he fell forward into Angemons arms slipping into his human form.

***

      "Davish, look," demi-veemon cried, Davis looked up to where his partner was pointing and gasped.

      In the sky was a beautiful blue-silver portal, as he watched three figures exited it... one being held by another.

      "Its angemon and daeangemon," Davis cried happily, he easily recognized the blond human form of TK.

      "TK," he cried happily.

      'He came back to me, he came back' he thought, tears of joy slipped down his face as he ran to where the angels were floating too.

      Others were running their also, some he had once thought as enemies... but there concern of TK was better served as friends.

      "TK," he whispered happily.

Woah, the battle was quick but I'm bad at battle scenes. By the way only the Epilogue is left, then I'll be finally done. There won't be a sequel this time, after all this series is long enough. So hold on people to find out what happens to our dimensionally displaced characters and Hikari.

Next chapter: Epilogue- the fate of Hikari.
