The Clone Wars

Chapter Two

All the digidestined look at Kari with doubting and unbelieving looks on their faces. "Uh Kari? What do mean that's not TK?" Tai asked his little sister. "I think you've lost your mind." Davis added. Kari sighed. She did expect this reaction from them.

"Well I know it looks him, but I just know that isn't TK. He just looks like TK." Kari said. "Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell us that TS has an evil twin that none of us have ever known about and now his evil twin has come here to ruin TA's life?" Davis asked stupidly. "I doubt that's Kari meant." Joe told Davis. Davis only shrugged. "Like I was saying", Kari continued, "that person may look like TK but he's not. He may not be an evil twin, but he is an imposter of some sort." "How can you be so sure?" Sora asked.

Kari thought for a minute. How did she know that it wasn't TK? "Well I've spent a lot of time with TK since we were eight. I know the real TK would never act the way this TK is acting. Besides, he also doesn't have the same eyes as the real TK." Kari said. "What do you mean the same eyes?" Ken asked. Kari blushed a bit and said, "Well TK's eyes are beautiful sky blue and filled with joy and happiness. The eyes on this TK are the same color blue but they're cold and bitter and angry." "I think TL's eyes always look the same." Davis commented. "You're a guy. You don't have the ability to read someone's eyes." Yolie said. "Whatever." Davis said.

"Let's not get off topic." Tai told them. "Sorry Kari, but I still have my doubts. If that's not TK then who is he?" he asked his sister. "I don't know, but you have to believe me on this." Kari said. "I believe you." Matt said. This statement surprised everyone and they all turned to look at him. "Look, I know my little brother would never do the things that this imposter is doing." Matt said.

Everyone was silent for a while as they thought about what Matt and Kari had said. Then Joe spoke up. "I'm still not sure if I believe this imposter stuff, but if it is true then where is the real TK?" he asked. Yolie said, "All the problems in our life all lead up to one thing." "The digiworld!" everyone said in unison.

"Well then we're all going to digiworld." Tai ordered. "Izzy can you open the digiport?" "Uh, sure, but I actually forgot my laptop at home." Everyone fainted. "Izzy forgot his laptop? I must be dreaming." Davis said. "Either that or hell just froze over." Ken added.

"Very funny guys. You all could just come to my place and we'll go to the digiworld from there." Izzy said. "How about we meet at your apartment in half an hour. I have a few things I want to get first." Kari said. Everyone agreed.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

When Kari got home she packed a small back pack with a bunch of first aid stuff that she had just bought from a convenience store incase anyone of them got hurt. Then she grabbed her digivice and crest and walked out the door to go to Izzy's place. (A/N: I know the dds don't have their crests anymore but I like them so I decided to put them in the story.)

Kari took the bus since Izzy's apartment lived too far to walk to. She couldn't wait to go to the digiworld because all she wanted to do was get her TK back and get rid of the imposter. She was worried about TK. She didn't know what happened to him. He could be injured or maybe worse.

Kari arrived at Izzy's place fifteen minutes later and she saw that everyone was already there except of course Davis, who was late for everything. A few minutes later Davis finally walked in. "Okay now that Davis is finally here we can go to the digiworld. Do you have the digiport up Izzy?" Tai asked. "Yep we're already to go." Izzy answered. "Okay Davis you do it." Tai said. Davis nodded and yelled, "Digiport open!" With that they were all sucked into the computer.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

When they got to the digiworld they all looked around. "Everything seems to be normal." Ken said. "Yeah. Uh I wonder where our digimon are." Matt said. "Augumon!" Tai called. "Augumon!" All the other dds followed and started call for their partners. "Gatomon!" Kari yelled

Kari heard a rustling noise from a tree so she looked up into it. "Gatomon it's you!" She said with a huge smile on her face. Gatomon did not look happy, though. "Stay back! Don't come any closer!" she hissed. "Gatomon what's wrong with you? It's me Kari. Your partner." Kari said. Gatomon stared at for a few seconds. "Kari? Is it really you?" The little cat-like digimon asked. "Of course it's me silly." Kari told her. "It is you! It is you!" Gatomon shouted with joy as she jumped out of the tree and into Kari's arms.

The group heard another rustling noise coming from the bushes behind them. Then Gabumon stepped out. "Matt! Matt! It's really you!" he shouted as he ran toward Matt. "Hey Gabumon! Long time no see!" "Hey Gabumon, Gatomon, do you two know where our digimon partners are?" Sora asked. "Nope I haven't seen them in quite a while." Gatomon said. "Yeah, nowadays we digimon are too afraid to go off looking for any other digimon." Gabumon added.

Gabumon's statement got all the dds interested in what he was saying. "Why are you afraid to look for other digimon?" asked Izzy. "Because we don't know which are real digimon and which are evil clone digimon." Gabumon answered. "What do you mean by 'evil clone'?" Joe asked. "Something evil has been creating evil clones of the digimon. There are also clones of all you guys here. They've caused the digimon to stop trusting each other because they don't know which ones are the real ones and which ones are clones who are trying destroy the digiworld." Gatomon said. "That's why you were hesitant to believe that I was the real Kari." Kari said.

Gabumon stopped to think little and then said, "But if you guys didn't know about the clones then you didn't come here to get rid of them. So why are you all here." "TK's missing. We think he might be here." Kari told the two digimon. "Hey wait a minute, Patamon's been missing also!" Gatomon said. "Really?" asked Cody. "Yeah. Me and Patamon used to hang out together all the time. Then one day I told Patamon that was going down by the stream to catch some fish for us to eat, but when I returned he wasn't there anymore and I hadn't seen him since then." Gatomon said.

The dds thought for a minute. Wherever Patamon is TK must be with him. "How long has Patamon been missing?" ask Izzy. "Four months." Gatomon replied. "Well TM has only been gone four days." Davis said. "Wait a minute. Patamon couldn't have been gone for four months. All of us younger digidestined had picnic here just three weeks ago." Kari said. "Yeah that's true!" Yolie yelled. "No, that was almost five months ago." Gatomon stated.

Now the dds were especially confused. Then Izzy thought of something. "What it time in the digital world got warped again like the first time were came here. If Patamon has been missing for four months and TK's been missing for four days, then one day in our world equals a month in the digiworld." "But we don't know for sure that TK is here. We haven't exactly confirmed that the TK that's in our world now is an imposter." Cody stated. "Well now that I've heard about these clones I'm pretty sure that the other TK is one of the clones." Tai said.

"Then that means that TK has been here for four months. What if something bad has happened to him." Kari said. She was getting more and more worried about TK by the second. "Don't worry Kari. I'm sure we'll find him." Mimi said, trying to comfort her. "Well if we want to find TK then we should start looking now and hopefully we'll find all our other digimon as well." Tai said. Everyone agreed and they started walking in the digiworld trying to find TK.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

So far their search wasn't going to well. They had been walking for two hours and hadn't found their digimon or any clues as to where TK would be. Now they were sitting under the tree taking a break. "Man I'm exhausted." Davis complained. "Yeah, I don't think I wore the right shoes for this." Mimi whined. "I think we should keep going." Kari said. She didn't want to rest. All she wanted to do was find her boyfriend and go back home. "Come on Kari, it wouldn't hurt to rest for while." "Haven't you rested enough?" Kari questioned. "Kari, we've only rested for three minutes." Sora stated. "I agree with Kari. I think we should go now." Said Matt.

The rest of the dds gave out loud moans and groans. "Just give us five more minutes." Tai tried to reason. "Forget it Tai, I'm going on." Matt said and walked off. "I'm going too." Kari said and went with him.

They didn't get very far because then they…"AHHH!!!"…fell into a deep hole. Tai and the others ran over to the hole and look inside it. "Are you two okay?!" Davis asked. Matt and Kari were now lying on their backs in the hole. "Uh…yeah…I…think…we're…okay. Matt barely managed to say. He and Kari slowly got up. "We'll look for a rope to pull you guys out!" Tai shouted. "That won't be necessary. This looks like a tunnel. There must be another way out so we'll go look for it. You guys just look for the other end and wait for us there." Matt said. The two digimon, who had not fallen in the hole, decided to jump in. Gatomon was able to land on her feet since she is a cat, but Gabumon landed on his rare end. "You guys didn't have to jump in. You could have just stayed with the others." Kari pointed out. "Well digimon like being with partners." Gabumon said.

Kari, Matt, and the digimon were walking inside the tunnel now. Then they came to a fork that split into three tunnels. "Which one do we take?" Kari asked. Matt had a bit of a dumbfounded look on his that meant he had no idea where to go. "Go to the one on the right." Gatomon said. "Are you sure about that?" asked Matt. "Of course. I'm am a cat so I have great senses." Gatomon answered.

They walked down the tunnel for almost half an hour and it seemed like they were getting nowhere. Then finally the group saw a light. "I guess the old saying is true about there always being a light at the end of the tunnel." Kari joked. They ran towards the light and eventually got out of the tunnel and into a forested part of the digiworld. "I wonder where the others are." Kari said. "Well we told them to follow the tunnel. They most likely kept going straight since they didn't know there were three tunnels while we went off to the right." Matt replied.

Kari look around and thought she saw something from the corner of her eye. "Hey there's Tai over there! Hey Tai! Over here!" she called. Tai saw them and walked over. Sora was with him but none of the other dds were there. "Hey Tai, where are the others?" Matt asked. Tai and Sora had smirks on their faces. Then all of a sudden they attacked Matt and Kari. "Oh no those are clones!" Gatomon yelled as she tried to help Kari. The Sora clone was able to kick her off, though. Gabumon was also having trouble. Kari and Matt were pinned to the floor by the clones. Then out of nowhere…

"Pepper Breath!" The clone Tai exploded into bits of digital data. Another pepper breath did the same thing to the Sora clone. The group turned around and saw Augumon standing behind them. "Hi guys!" Augumon said. Gatomon and Gabumon went on defense mode. "Hey don't worry. I'm the real Augumon I promise." Augumon tried to convince them. "Yeah you two, he did save our lives." Matt told the two digimon.

Augumon was happy to see his friends. It had been a while since he had seen them. "Where's Tai?" he asked. "Oh we got separated from the others." Matt said. "We should go back and look for them." They were about to go when Gatomon spotted something in the distance. "Hey what's that over there?" she asked. "That's TK!" Kari yelled.

They all ran over to him. He was lying on his stomach and was unconscious. He also had cuts and bruises all over him and his clothes were ragged. Patamon was lying unconscious next to TK. "I wonder what happened to him." Kari said. "I don't know but when I find whoever did this to my little brother I'm gonna kick their ass." Matt said. "There could be more clones around here. We should find somewhere safe to stay." Gatomon said. "I think there's a cave not too far from here. We could go there." Gabumon said.

Matt picked up TK and Kari picked up Patamon and they all walked toward the cave. When they walked into the cave they saw that it was fairly small and there were no digimon in it. Matt laid TK down against the wall of the cave and Kari placed Patamon next to him. Kari took the first aid stuff out of her backpack and started to treat TK wounds and put bandages around them.

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Kari asked Matt. "I'm sure he will. TK's always been a pretty tough guy. Right now I just want to know what happened to him and who did it to him." He replied. "Do you think it's a digimon or a person like when Ken was the digimon Emperor?" asked Kari. "I have no idea but I'm sure whoever or whatever it is, it's pretty strong and evil." Matt said. "TK will be able to tell us when he wakes up." Gabumon said.

Kari was scared now. She didn't know who could have done this. She hated knowing that TK had been hear for four months. She didn't what he had been through while he was here. At least he was able to escape she thought.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Somewhere in the digital world in a castle an evil monster was in his lair looking at Kari, Matt, and TK from some sort of vortex. He had an evil smile on his dark, evil face. "It seems as if Hope's friends have found him. He's a fool for escaping here and his friends are fools for coming here to find him. Ha ha ha ha!"

A smaller creature walked into the monster's lair. "Master, the digital gate is now closed. Those digidestined punks will never be able to escape. Not even the bearer of Knowledge will be to figure out a way out." The small creature said. "Good." Said the monster.

The smaller creature thought for a moment and then said, "Uh Master, I just want to know why you let the child of Hope get away so easily, you could have stopped him." The evil monster gave a menacing laugh. "No matter where Hope is he will not be safe. He's foolish for not realizing that his death is inevitable. Ha ha ha!"

That's it chap 2! Did you like it? I sure most of you probably know who the evil monster is, but I still like leaving it a mystery. Anyway, please review. I love reviews.
