The Clone Wars
Chapter Six
Kari stared at Devimon. She hated that evil smile on his face. All she wanted to do was get rid of him, but she knew she couldn't do that without the others there. "You won't get away with this!" she managed to yell. "Of course I will because you can't stop me." Devimon said.
TK's entire body was shaking from fear. "Please just leave me alone." He pleaded to Devimon. "Sorry Bearer of Hope, but I just can't leave you alone without getting my revenge." Then he let out a very sinister laugh.
"So Hope, how would you like to come back to my lair with me. Won't it be fun?" Devimon taunted. "No! Don't take me back there! Leave me alone!" TK yelled. Fear was gripping his entire body.
"Why are you here Devimon? Are you just trying to scare us?" Kari demanded. "Yeah get outta here before I kick your butt outta this universe!" Gatomon demanded.
Both Kari and Gatomon were trying to act strong and brave so that Devimon wouldn't take advantage of them, but both of them knew that if Devimon attacked they wouldn't stand a chance against him.
"You think I could ever be afraid of you little twerps?" Devimon mocked. "Anyway, I'm just here to see how much the Angel of Hope is suffering. I'm just toying you digidestined. I'll let you run around the digiworld and fight my clones, making you think that you'll actually be able to defeat me. I want to have fun. I'm not ready to fight you all yet, but when I am ready, you will all die because of me." He paused for a while and continued speaking. "However the person I want to see suffer more than anyone is that Angel of Hope!"
"I won't let that happen!" Kari shouted. She would do anything save TK, the person she loved most in the world. "I admire your courage Angel of Light, but there is nothing you can do to save him. Anyway I think I leave you alone for now." Devimon said.
"Wait!" Kari shouted to stop him from leaving. "What have you done with our friends? Where are they?" she asked him. "I don't have your friends. I don't have time to waste on those pathetic runts." With that Devimon disappeared from them.
"Well at least we know the others are safe." Gatomon said. Kari sighed and said, "We know that they're not with Devimon but that doesn't mean that they're safe." "Well we should go look for them." Patamon said. "Yeah let's go." Kari said.
Kari looked over at TK and noticed he was still shaking from fear. She walked over to him and hugged him. "Don't worry TK, I won't let him hurt you."

Devimon sat on his throne in his lair. He was smiling at the fact that the digidestined would not be able to stop him this time.
DemiDevimon walked into Devimon's lair. "Master I just don't understand why you won't attack the digidestined now. They won't stand a chance if you attack them now." He said. Devimon gave an evil grin. "Well DemiDevimon, I find it a lot more fun to toy with my prey before I go for the kill." And believe me, I will kill them. He thought evilly.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kari, TK, Gatomon and Patamon had been walking – well in Patamon's case, flying – for hours and still could not find the other dds. "This is hopeless. We'll never find them." Kari complained. "We'll find them Kari. We just have to keep looking." Gatomon encouraged. "I think we rest and eat." Patamon added. "Yeah I agree." Kari said.
The small group stopped and sat down under a large tree to rest. "What'll we eat?" Patamon asked. "There is nothing to eat!" Gatomon complained. "We should walk a little further. Digitamamon's diner isn't far from here." TK said. It was the only thing he had said since their encounter with Devimon earlier that day. "Alright then let's go." Kari said.
They walked for about fifteen minutes and finally saw Digitamamon's diner. When they reached the front of the diner they noticed that the windows were broken and the diner didn't look like it was in the best condition. "Should we go in?" asked Patamon. "Uh yeah, let's go in." Kari said.
As soon as they entered the diner they were greeted with a knife flying towards them, just barely missing TK's head. "Hey watch it!" Patamon yelled. "Get out of my diner you clones! You've destroyed it enough already!" Digitamamon yelled back. "We're not clones!" Gatomon said. "We're the digidestined!" added Kari.
"I don't believe you!" Digitamamon yelled as he charged toward TK and Kari. Luckily Patamon was able to stop him with a 'boom bubble'. "Digitamamon, please believe us. We're not clones." TK said. "We're trying to stop the clones." Gatomon said. "Prove it!" Digitamamon ordered.
TK then grabbed the knife that was stuck in the door from when Digitamamon threw it. "What are doing TK?" Kari asked. "I'm proving to him that we're not clones." TK answered. With the knife he cut himself on him arm. He held out his arm so Digitamamon could see the blood coming from the wound. "See. Clones don't bleed." TK said.
Digitamamon stared at TK's bloody cut for a moment. "You really are the digidestined!" he exclaimed, his voice changing from anger to joy. "Come and sit down. I'll cook you guys something really good." He directed them toward a table.
"So you were attacked by clones?" Kari asked Digitamamon while she was tending to TK's wound. "Yes. I've been out of business lately because the only ones who come into my restaurant are clones and all they do is destroy the place." Digitamamon answered. "Why do stay here? Why don't you just leave and go somewhere safer?" Patamon asked. "It is my duty as the diner's owner to defend this place. Besides, there are no safe places in the digiworld anymore." He replied.
Digitamamon left them and went to the kitchen to cook them a meal. While they were waiting, Kari noticed TK was looking around with an upset look on his face. "What's wrong TK?" she asked. "It's just that this place used to be so beautiful. Now it's ruined." He said.
TK was right, the diner was ruined. Most of the tables were knocked over and lots of chairs were broken. There was shattered glass all over the floor and the walls had muck and gunk all over it.
"This is where we had our first date." TK said while remembering that time. "The two of us were hanging out at Primary Village. That's when I first kissed you. We stayed there for a while lying in each other's arms. Then we got hungry so we rode on Pegasusmon and Nefertimon and flew here and ate our first dinner together as a couple."
Kari smiled as TK reminded her of that day. "I remember that day as if it happened yesterday." Kari told him. It had actually been a little over a year since that day, and with everyday that passed since then, the couple seemed to fall more and more in love with each other.
Kari's happiness faded when she saw TK sad expression. "I won't always remember that day. Not if I keep losing my memory." TK said. "Don't talk like that TK. We'll find a way to help you." Kari reassured him.
At that moment, Digitamamon came back with their meals. "Mmmm, that smells great!" Patamon said. "Yeah let's eat!" Gatomon added.
The four companions ate their food in silence. By the time they were done, they were stuffed. "Man that food was great!" Kari said. When they were about to leave Digitamamon stopped them and handed TK a pretty heavy backpack. "Here. I packed a bunch of food for you guys so you could eat whenever you get hungry." He told them. "Thanks Digitamamon. We really appreciate it." TK told him.
Just as they were about to leave, the door was suddenly blasted open. In front of them stood Skullgreymon and MagnaAngemon. "Oh shit." Kari mumbled. "No! Those clones are back to completely destroy my diner!" Digitamamon exclaimed. "Get out of my diner!" He yelled as he charged at the two gigantic digimon. Unfortunately, with one hit from Skullgreymon, the egg digimon flew to the back wall of the diner and fell unconscious.
"Gatomon! Patamon! You guys have to digivolve!" Kari instructed. "You got it Kari!" Gatomon said. "Gatomon digivolved to…Angewomon!" The angel digimon hovered above them and was ready to attack. "Celestial Arrow!" but it was to no avail. MagnaAngemon easily swapped the arrow away.
Angewomon look helpless. "Patamon digivolve into Angemon and help me fight these guys!" "I can't! TK's too weak! I can't digivolve!" "This day is going from bad to worse." Kari mumbled.
Angewomon looked down at her three friends. "Kari, TK, Patamon run while I distract these guys." She instructed. "No Angewomon. I'm not gonna leave you behind!" Kari said. "You have no choice!" Then she turned back towards her enemies and shot another Celestial Arrow at Skullgreymon but he also easily deflected it. Then he shot a blast at Angewomon, which hit her and made her de-digivolve back to Gatomon.
"Gatomon!" Kari yelled. She ran over and picked up her injured digimon partner. "Now we're screwed." TK said. "Not yet. You kids run out the back door in the kitchen." It was Digitamamon who said that. He had finally gained consciousness. "We can't let you sacrifice yourself for us." Kari said. "You have to go. You're the digidestined. The clones will never be destroyed if you guys die. Now go!" he ordered.
They hesitated for a moment but then decided to take Digitamamon's advice. While they ran, Kari looked behind her only to see the MagnaAngemon clone open a Gate of Destiny. Then Skullgreymon launched an attack at Digitamamon, which sent him flying through the gate. That was the last Kari saw of Digitamamon.
Tears stung her eyes as she ran out the diner. He sacrificed himself to save us. Now he's lost in the Gate of Destiny and I don't know how to save him. They heard an explosion behind them as Skullgreymon and MagnaAngemon turned the entire diner into nothing but ashes.
Kari and TK ran as fast as they could in the jungle of the digital world. They kept running until suddenly the smacked into a rock hard figure and fell to the ground. When Kari and TK look up they saw Leomon standing right in front of them. "Oh no, another clone." TK said.
Kari got up and grabbed TK's hand to run but she was stopped when Leomon grabbed her shoulder. "Let me go!" she yelled. "You better not hurt her!" TK yelled. He was trying to get back to his strong, brave self, but it was obvious that he was still terrified because he was once again as pale as a ghost and was trembling from fear.
"I'm not gonna hurt you." Leomon said. "Kari, TK, listen to me. I'm the real Leomon. Don't be afraid." "L-Leomon?" Kari said. "Leomon you have to help us. Clones of Skullgreymon and MagnaAngemon are after us. "Do not worry. Follow me. I have a safe place for you to stay." Leomon said.
They all started to run with Leomon leading the way. They ran for a while until they came upon a river. On the left side of the river there was a waterfall. Leomon directed Kari and TK toward the waterfall. Leomon walked around the water and inside a cave hidden behind the waterfall. TK and Kari followed him inside the cave. Gatomon was still be carried by Kari while Patamon landed on TK's head so he could rest for a while.
The cave was actually quite large. The group continued walking for a while. Then they turned a corner and Kari and TK saw Ogremon, Piximon, and Wormmon sitting around a campfire. "Look who I found." Leomon announced to his friends. "Kari! TK!" Wormmon greeted. "Hi Patamon! Hi…uh…Gatomon doesn't look like she's in the best condition." The worm-like digimon noticed. "Rest her down here. I can take care of her." Piximon instructed. Kari followed his orders and put Gatomon down next to him.
"TK, Kari, you wouldn't happen to know where Ken, would you?" Wormmon asked. Kari shook her head. "No we don't know where he and others are." "So how did you guys end up here?" TK asked them. "We each were attacked by clones and separated from our friends. Finding digimon we could trust is hard thing to do lately, but we managed to find each other. We wandered for days for a safe place to stay. We eventually found this place and the clones have not yet found us here." Leomon explained.
"It's a good thing we found you guys. I don't think we would have survived against MagnaAngemon and Skullgreymon." Kari said. "You were being chased by them? You guys are lucky you made it through alive." Ogremon said. "Yeah we know we're lucky." Patamon said.
There was silence for a while and Piximon was just about done with taking care of Gatomon. "She'll be as good as new by tomorrow. She's just sleeping right now." He informed Kari.
"I just want to know one thing", said Ogremon, "How exactly are you digidestined gonna defeat Devimon and the clones?" "I don't really know how we're gonna beat them. It's gonna be even harder since Patamon can't digivolve." Kari replied. "Well if you need any help, we'll be happy to assist you." Leomon stated. "Thanks." Kari said.
It was already starting to get dark in the digiworld. Leomon and Ogremon had gone out and got some dinner for everyone to eat. After everyone ate, they decided to go to sleep since they were tired because of the hard day they had.
Patamon, Gatomon, and Wormmon were asleep next to the fire, TK and Kari were sleeping against the wall in the back of the cave with Kari snuggled up to TK. Leomon, Ogremon, and Piximon were just sleeping in different areas of the cave.
That night, TK wasn't having a good sleep. He was sweating and his face had a look of pain on it.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
There was only darkness. He couldn't see anything. What was going on? Then he realized his eyes were shut tight. He slowly opened his eyes, expecting to see his room, but all he saw was a room with different machines and medical instruments.
'Am I in a hospital?' he wondered. No. He was not in a hospital. He tried to move but he couldn't move his arms or his legs and his back felt very cold. That's when he realized he was strapped onto a metal bed.
Fear gripped him. 'Where am I! What's going on!' He wanted to yell, but couldn't seem to find his voice.
He felt something placed on top his head, but did not see the person who put it there. It was some sort of helmet with wires attached to it. The other ends of the wires were attached to some kind of machine.
"S-Someone help me!" he finally managed to say, though it was no more than a whisper. Suddenly a buzzing noise came from the device on his head. He didn't know what it meant.
All of a sudden he started seeing all his memories. Some memories he didn't even know he had. His first time walking as a baby, speaking his first word, playing with his big brother Matt. 'Where are these memories coming from?' he asked himself.
He saw his dad and Matt walking out the door with suitcases in their hands. Were they going on a trip together? Why couldn't he and his mom go too?
He saw himself at summer camp when he was eight, then in the digiworld. He remembered fighting Devimon. Then seeing Angemon turn into digital data.
AHH!! All these memories were making his head hurt. He never felt such a pain in his entire life! His brain felt like it was going to explode! "AHHHH!" he screamed in pain.
Then everything started to go black again. Darkness overtook his body again as he blacked out.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
TK bolted up from his sleep. He was panting hard and he was drenched in sweat. Kari, who was snuggled up to TK, woke up when she felt him move from under her.
"TK? TK what's wrong?" She asked. Concern was evident in her voice. TK grabbed his head and screamed, waking up everyone in the cave. "TK? TK!"
