The Clone Wars
Chapter Three
The sun was starting to set in the digiworld. Matt, Gabumon, and Agumon were out looking for food. Kari and Gatomon were still in the cave looking after TK and Patamon. Neither of them had woken up since they were found. Kari was worried about whether or not they would be okay and also worried about the evil whatever it was that had brought TK here. She was also concerned the mysterious clones that had appeared in the digiworld. Did they have any connection to what happened to TK?
"Hey Gatomon, how long have the clones been here?" Kari asked her digimon partner. "Hmm…almost four months." Gatomon answered. "Do you think they have anything to do with TK or whoever brought him here?" asked Kari. "Probably. I hadn't really thought about that, but whoever did this to TK must be person who created the clones." Gatomon said.
Just then TK started to stir a little. Then his eyes opened. "TK!" Kari exclaimed. "You're Awake!" TK didn't seem happy to see them though. He had fear in his eyes. "NO, stay away from me! Stay away!" TK yelled as he backed himself tightly against the wall of the cave. Kari was taken aback. "TK what's wrong? It's me Kari." "No you're not Kari. You're just one of those clones." TK said like a frightened little child. "No TK I'm not a clone. It's really me, I'm the real Kari." Kari tried to convince him.
TK put his hands on each side of his head and yelled, "If you're not a clone then you're just another hallucination! Why wont these hallucinations stop?!" Then he started hitting his head to get himself to snap out of the hallucination.
Matt and the two digimon walked in the cave at that moment. "Hey what's he doing?" Matt asked Kari. "He thinks we're just hallucinations." Kari said. Matt kneeled down and grabbed TK's shoulders and said, "TK, buddy, snap out of it. It's me, you're big brother. I'm not a hallucination, I'm really here and so is Kari." TK looked up at Matt with tears coming down his cheeks. "Matt? Kari? No it can't you. I haven't seen anyone in four months." TK said. "We're here now TK." Kari said as she placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "You guys are really here, I'm not hallucinating." TK said. Then he rested his head of Kari chest and cried like child. Kari wrapped her arms around TK trying to comfort him. Oh TK, what happened to you? Kari thought.

Tai and the others continued walking through the forest of the digiworld. "It's been hours and we still haven't found Kari and Matt." Davis complained. "Yeah, where could they be?" Mimi wondered. "We have to keep looking." Tai said. He was getting worried about his little sister and best friend.
The dds stopped suddenly when they saw another Sora walking not too far from them. "Wow, another Sora." Joe said. "Shhh, don't speak so loud or she'll hear you. That's gotta be one of the clones. Let's hide behind these bushes." Tai instructed. The dds ducked down behind the bushes so the cloned Sora would not see them. Davis decided to take the opportunity to crack a joke. "Hey now that there's two Soras, Tai could be with one and Matt could be with the other. It's a win win situation." "Shut up Davis!" both Tai and Sora yelled.
When the clone Sora had gotten far enough away from the dds, they got up from their hiding place. "Those clones sure look real." Ken said. "Yeah, I never would have known that was a clone if the real Sora wasn't standing right next to me." Yolie added. "Well I hope that the clones of me look as good as I do because a Mimi-whether it's the real me or a clone-should never look bad." Mimi said. The other dds sweat drop.
"Sora? Sora it that really you?" a voice called from above them. The group looked up and saw Biyomon flying above them. "Biyomon!" Sora exclaimed. "I saw you guys hiding from that clone so you must be the real digidestined because clones never hide from each other." Biyomon said as she flew down and into Sora's arms. "I'm so happy to see you Sora. It's been so long." Do you know where our other digimon partners are Biyomon?" asked Izzy. "No, sorry. Nowadays all I ever see is clones." Biyomon replied. "Well at least we found one of the digimon. Now we just need to find the others." Joe said. "And Kari and Matt." Cody added. "Yeah but where could they be?" Mimi whined.

TK had fallen asleep in Kari's arms. She didn't want to wake him up. He looked at peace like an innocent baby. Patamon, on the other hand, had woken up a few minutes ago and was gobbling down the food that Matt had brought as if he hadn't eaten in a year.
"So Patamon, what exactly happened to you and TK?" Matt asked. "Well nothing really happened to me, I was just beaten a lot. All the bad stuff happened to TK." Patamon answered with sadness in his voice. "What do you mean 'bad stuff'? What did they do to him?" Kari asked. "I don't really know. We were locked up in a small cell. Everyday TK was taken from the cell and carried to a room down the hall from our cell. I never saw what they did to him, but I would hear him screaming from inside the room. When he was brought back to the cell he would be worn out and weak." Patamon said. "Who was it? Who did this to you guys?" Matt asked. "It was Devimon." Patamon replied.
"Devimon!" Everyone yelled. "But didn't TK kill Devimon the first time you guys came to the digital world?" asked Kari. "He did." Matt said. "That's what makes all of this so confusing." "Are you sure it was Devimon?" Agumon asked. "Of course I'm sure it was him. I'll never forget that evil monster." Patamon said.
TK woke up just then. "TK, you're awake." Kari said. "You're still here. I guess I really wasn't hallucinating." TK said. TK looked over and saw Patamon. "Patamon! Hey buddy, I guess we managed to escape." Patamon flew over to him and landed on TK's head since it is his favorite place to be. "TK, are you okay now?" Matt asked. "For now I am." TK replied.
"Hey TK, you better eat some of the fish we caught. I'm sure you're hungry." Gabumon said. TK walked over and grabbed a fish to eat. "Uh TK, what happened to you while you were here?" asked Kari. "I don't want to talk about it!" TK said, way more harsh than he intended. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that I…I want to forget everything that happened. I just want to go home." TK said.
"Speaking of home, we need to find the others. Then we can leave the digiworld and go home so we could figure out what to do about Devimon." TK grimaced when Matt said Devimon. "It's getting late. We should wait until tomorrow to look for the others." Kari said. "I'll stay up for first watch and then I'll wake Gabumon and Agumon up to stand guard for the rest of the night. We wouldn't want any clones to walk in here while we're sleeping." Matt instructed. Again TK grimaced when he heard the word clones.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Devimon sat in his lair once again watching the three digidestined. He had that same evil grin on his face. "So digidestined, you want to go home? Well you'll never see your home again. Once Hope is dead, killing the rest of you annoying digidestined will be a piece of cake."
Devimon's little servant, who happened to be DemiDevimon, walked into the lair again. "Master, more clones are ready to be sent out. Shall I let them go now?" "Yes, do that now." Devimon ordered.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kari was woken up early the next morning by Gatomon. Everyone else was already awake. They ate a few berries that Gabumon had picked for breakfast and then go ready to find to others.
"Which way should we look for them?" Kari asked. "I think we should go back the way we came." Matt said. "I hope we find them soon. I want to see Tai." Agumon said. "Let's also hope we don't run into any clones." Gatomon muttered.
They walked for three hours and still hadn't found the other dds. On the bright side, they didn't see any clones. TK remained silent the entire time. All he did was follow Matt and Kari and listen to what they were saying.
They had walked for another hour when they stopped because they heard voices coming from behind the bushes. Gatomon, Gabumon, and Agumon went on defense mode. "Clones." Gabumon said. Agumon didn't waste any time. He jumped behind the bushes and let out a pepper breath.
"Ouch! My butt! It burns it burns it burn!" Davis started running around trying to oust the fire that was on his butt. Yolie grabbed her water bottle and poured the water on Davis's butt. "That feels much better." Davis said.
Biyomon was now currently attacking Agumon since she thought that he was a clone. "Wait Biyomon, it's me!" Agumon yelled. "Tai!" Kari called out. "Kari? Matt? TK?!" "Biyomon stop! That's really Agumon!" Sora yelled. Biyomon stopped and said, "Oops, Sorry Agumon. "Agumon! I'm so glad to see you bud!" Tai said as he hugged his digimon partner. "Sorry for hurting you Davis. I thought you were a clone." Agumon apologized.
"You guys found TK!" Mimi exclaimed when she found him. She ran over and gave him a big hug. "Yeah, welcome back TS." Davis said while rubbing his butt. TK didn't say anything to any of them. "What's with him?" Ken asked. "Well to make a long story short, Devimon is back." Matt said.
"What!" The older digidestined yelled. "How could Devimon be back? Angemon defeated him years ago." Sora said. "Yeah, this is impossible!" Joe yelled. "Who's Devimon?" asked Cody. "He's the first evil digimon we fought the first time we came to the digiworld." Tai explained. "Oh yeah, the one that Angemon gave his life to destroy." Yolie said.
"I wonder how he came back." Izzy said. "We should go back home. We'll figure all of this out later." Tai said. "I agree. Plus TK may need to see a doctor." Joe said.
The dds walked back toward one of the TV monitors that would take them back home. It took them several hours to reach the monitor, plus they had to stop for lunch. By time they reached the TV it was already night. "We finally made it." Davis said. "Well open now Davis! Don't waste anymore time!" Yolie yelled. "Okay, okay. Digiport open!" Davis yelled.
There was no response. "Why are we still here?" Yolie asked. "I'll try it." Tai said. "Digiport open!" No response. "Izzy, figure out what's going on here." Tai told him. Izzy took out his laptop and started to type vigorously on it.
When he stopped typing he said, "Uh guys, you may not like this but I can't get the digiport opened." "What do you mean you can't get it opened?!" Davis exclaimed. Izzy had a grim look on his face. "We're stuck here."
