Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon so please don't sue me.
A/N: Okay I'm back with chapter nine! I'd like to say thank you for the reviews I got for the previous chapter. Well I hope you like this chapter.
Oh and one more thing before you read. TK does not forget things in chronological order. He forgets things that aren't very important to him first and the things he loves most will be forgotten last. Okay now you go and read the fic.
The Clone Wars
Chapter Nine
It was nighttime in the digital world and all of the digidestined and digimon were asleep except for Matt, Tai, Agumon, and Gabumon, who were keeping watch. Now Tai, Agumon and Gabumon were having a conversation of their own and Matt sat by himself away from them lost in his own thoughts.
As Matt look over to his left he saw Kari and TK sleeping cuddled up to each other. He noticed the expression on his brother's face. TK seemed to be having a bad dream. This shouldn't be happening to you, bro. I wish there was something I can but I just feel so useless! Matt thought.
"You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders" a voice behind him said. Matt didn't need to look at who it was, he already recognized the voice.
"Oh, hi Sora. Why aren't you asleep?" Matt asked as Sora sat down beside him. "I couldn't sleep." She replied. "Why do you seem so bummed out?" Matt sighed and answered, "Because I don't know how to help TK. He's my little brother and I'm supposed to protect him but I don't know how."
Sora looked over at TK and noticed the same pained expression on his face. "Matt, none of us knows what to do. We just have to roll with the punches and try to figure out something as we go along. I know TK's your little brother and you love him, but right now there's nothing that you or anyone of us can do for him now."
Again Matt sighed and said, "I know your right, Sora, but I just hate seeing him like this." "Don't worry, Matt. We'll find a way to help him." Sora reassured him.
Meanwhile, Tai was watching as Matt and Sora were having their conversation. He decided not to go over there and interrupt them, but a part of him didn't like seeing them so friendly towards each other.
Tai has had a long time crush on Sora but never told her how he felt. He also knew that now Matt was starting to develop feelings for her. Tai was afraid that Sora liked Matt and not him. I need to get over this jealousy thing. I've known Sora since I was a little child and Matt's such a good friend to me he's almost like the brother I never had! Tai scolded himself.
"Hey Tai? Why do you keep staring at Sora and Matt?" asked Agumon. "Huh? Oh, uh, no reason. I didn't even realize I was staring." "I think we should go over there an join them." Gabumon said. "Yeah good idea." Tai responded and the three of them got up and walked over to Matt and Sora.

At the moment Devimon was sitting on his throne in his lair and he was not happy. "DemiDevimon! Get in here now!" Devimon yelled. A minute later DemiDevimon came running into the room.
"Is there something I could help you with master?" asked DemiDevimon. "Yes. You could start by telling why you haven't brought me the Child of Light yet!" exclaimed Devimon. "Uh…well you see, master, I've been pretty busy doing the other things you asked me to do." DemiDevimon responded. "Well when I want you to do something, I expect it to be done right away. Now go, take a few clones with you, and bring me that rotten Child of Light!" yelled Devimon. "Yes sir, right away!" then DemiDevimon flew away.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
"Hey Tai, don't you think it's time for Davis and Ken keep watch. I'm tired." Matt said. A couple hours had passed since they began their watch and by now Sora was sound asleep. "Yeah you're right, Matt. Let's go wake them." Tai agreed.
The two nineteen year olds got up and was about to wake up their friends when Tai suddenly stopped. "What's wrong, Tai?" asked Matt. "Shh. I think I hear something." Tai whispered.
Suddenly clones of Leomon and Puppetmon jumped out at them. "Oh no! Everyone wake up!" Matt yelled. "Agumon digivolve!" Tai shouted.
"Agumon warp digivolve to…WarGreymon!"
By now all the dds were up. "Oh man! Where did these guys come from?" Joe asked. "Are you all just gonna stand there or is someone gonna help me?" WarGreymon asked. "This should be easy enough." Matt said. "Go on Gabumon!"
"Gabumon warp digivolve to…MetalGarurumon!"
"Veemon digivolve to…ExVeemon!" "Yeah go get em ExVeemon!" Davis cheered.
"Fists of the Beast King!" Leomon yelled as the attack hit ExVeemon. "You'll pay for that." ExVeemon said as he charged toward Leomon.
"Metal Wolf Claw!" "Terra Force!" MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon let out their attacks at Puppetmon but missed.
"Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon's attack hit WarGreymon but didn't seem to hurt him much.
Meanwhile up in tree, DemiDevimon was watching the battle. "Good. The digidestined are distracted by the battle. Now's your chance to grab the Child of Light." He said to a clone that was next to him. The clone nodded its head and the swooped down the grab Kari.
"Kari look out!" Yolie yelled when she saw a clone of Angemon head straight toward her. Kari didn't have time to move and within seconds she was in the sky with Angemon holding tightly. "Tai! TK! Help!" Kari yelled frantically.
"Kari!" yelled TK. He was shaking all over now. He was still too afraid even to help the girl he loved most. "Somebody help her!" Tai ordered.
"Hand of Fate!" The cloned Angemon let out his attack and hit the other digidestined and digimon before any of them could digivolve. Then he quickly flew away with Kari with DemiDevimon close behind.
"Terra Force!" WarGreymon had finally hit the Puppetmon clone and turned him into data. ExVeemon had done the same to Leomon.
"We have to go after Kari!" Tai exclaimed. "I didn't see where they went." WarGreymon said. TK fell on the ground and started holding his head and he was crying. "No. This is all my fault. Kari is gonna get hurt and it's my fault."
Matt placed a comforting hand on his brother's shoulder and said, "We'll get her back, bro. We'll get her back."
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
About an hour later, Kari was sitting alone in a dungeon. "This must be where TK was kept." She thought out loud. "Now how do I get out of here?"
Then Kari heard the sound of a door open and footsteps coming toward her. "Hello my dear Bearer of Light." Devimon said when he was in front of her cell. "Let me out of here you creep!" Kari demanded. "Hmm. Let me think about that…no. You're gonna stay here with me." Devimon replied.
"Are you going to kill me?" Kari asked. "No I'm not going to kill you. Not yet at least." Devimon replied. "Then what are you going to do with me?" Kari asked. "That's for me to know and you to find out." Devimon said. "Well then tell me why you're doing all of this. I find it hard to believe that everything you're doing is just to get revenge on TK. You've got to have another motive." Kari said.
Devimon laughed then said, "You want to know what I'm doing. Fine, I'll tell you. You see, I'm gonna take over this world with my clones, but that's not all. I'm also going to take over your world. Don't you remember the clone of your precious Child of Hope that I sent to your world? Well I only sent one then because it's hard to get the clones through the barrier between both worlds. But now I found a way and, as we speak, there are many clones in your world already. Hahaha. My plan is perfect!"
"You're crazy! You can't do that!" Kari exclaimed. "Oh but I can and I will." Devimon retorted.
Then DemiDevimon walked up to Devimon. "Master, our special guest seems to have recovered most of his powers now. He says that he's ready." "He's ready, huh? Well let me go see him myself." Devimon said. Then he and DemiDevimon walked away, leaving Kari by herself again.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Kari didn't know when she fell asleep that night, but she awoke the next morning when she heard someone calling her name.
"Kari? Are you all right?" When she was fully awake she saw that it was an Andromon that was calling her. "Huh? Leave me alone!" Kari yelled. "No, wait. I'm not a clone. I'm your old friend Andromon. Don't you remember me?" Andromon said. "Andromon? It's really you?" Kari asked in disbelief. "Yes but don't speak so loud, I don't want anyone to hear. I've been pretending to be one of Devimon's clones." Andromon said.
"How did you end up here?" Kari asked. "The clones attacked my village and destroyed everything and killed many innocent digimon. When they left, I mingled in amongst their group and pretended to be one of them so that I could find out if there was a way to beat them." Andromon explained.
"Did you find out anything important?" asked Kari. "No. The only thing I know is that Devimon has sent clones into your world and is trying to take control over your world." Andromon answered. "Yeah I know that. Hey Andromon? Do you think you could get me out of here? I have to tell me friends about what Devimon is doing." Kari asked. "Of course I can. Just give me a minute."
After a couple of minutes, Kari was out of her cell. "Now I just need to get out of this fortress." Kari said. "Don't worry about it. I know every way to get out of here without running into trouble." Andromon informed. "Follow me."
Before Kari knew it, she was running through different hallways and passageways with Andromon. This place is like a maze. Kari thought to herself.
After a few minutes of running and sneaking around, they had finally reached a small door. "You can go out through there. There are a few clones in this area but you'll just have to sneak past them." Andromon said. "Aren't you coming with me?" Kari asked. "No. I want to stay here so I can keep an eye on Devimon and see if there is a way to beat him and destroy his clones." Andromon replied. "Oh, well, good luck." Kari said and then she left.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Tai and the other digidestined were now walking through the jungle in search of Kari. "How could they just take her when we have twelve digimon and digidestined on our side! You guys should have been looking out for other clones!" Tai scolded. He was fuming now. His little sister had been kidnapped and that was the last thing that he wanted to happen.
"Yelling at everyone isn't going to get Kari back, Tai." Sora said. "Well what do want me to do! My little sister was kidnapped!" Tai yelled. "Listen Tai we're all frustrated but your yelling isn't helping the situation." Joe said.
"It would certainly help if we knew where Devimon's fortress is. Are you sure you don't remember where it is, TK?" Izzy said. "No." TK said, meekly. "When I escaped form there I just ran. I wasn't paying attention to which way I was going or coming from."
"Well I definitely know that I saw that clone of Angemon head this way so I'm sure if we keep going in this direction we'll find it." Gatomon said. "Yeah you're probably right, Gatomon." Said Cody.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
"Are you sure that your power is fully recovered?" Devimon asked another digimon. "Yes, I know it is." Said the other digimon. "Good. It won't be long now until my plan is finished." Devimon said. "I think I'll go now." Devimon was about to leave when DemiDevimon came running in the room.
"Master! Master! The Child of Light has escaped!" "What! How could that happen?!" Devimon boomed. "I'm not sure, master, but when I went to her cell to bring her into the lab, she was missing." DemiDevimon explained.
"You sure have a way of letting your prisoners escape easily." The other digimon said to Devimon. "Oh shut up! When I'm through with those digidestined they'll wish they were never born." Devimon retorted.
He was about to exit the room, but the other digimon said, "Wait! When will I get my chance to handle those digidestined?" "You'll get your chance when I say you can." Devimon answered. Then he and DemiDevimon left the room.
The other digimon stood in the room with an evil grin on his face. "Oh no Devimon, that's where you are wrong. No one tells me what to do. I only obey myself. You, Devimon have just made a grave mistake. Hahahaha!"

That's it for chapter 9! Who is the other digimon? You'll just have to read the next chapter to find out! I don't really know when the next chapter will be out because school is really taking a lot of my time but I'll try to get it up as soon as possible. Don't forget to REVIEW!
