Chapter 8: Hurtful Realizations
Davis and company rushed to the place that they heard Chloe's scream. Also the Digivice helped track them down as well. They came to a crater that was pretty big, probably the size of a football field. They searched around it hoping that they will find TK or Chloe and even better both of them.
"Whoa!" Izzy yelped as he almost slid down into the crater. "That's a long way down….Hey wait a sec!" Everyone turned to see what he was looking at. "There's something down there!!" Davis squinted his eyes, and saw a figure and next to it was two smaller things. Davis started to slide down the slope with Veemon not too far behind.
"Be careful Davis!" Kari called out. Once Davis reached the bottom, his face paled when he realized who it was…Chloe with a number of bruises and cuts, lay next to an equally wounded Patamon and Siavamon. He was on his knees and gently shaking Chloe to wake up.
"Come on! Wake up!" Chloe moaned and opened her eyes slightly. Davis sighed in relief, "Good you're awake." He was about to ask what happened but stopped when he saw tears flow down Chloe's face. Davis eyes showed concern. "What's wrong?" She wiped the tears away with her hand.
"He's gone," she whispered. Davis looked at her with a confusing gaze.
Davis gulped, "You're talking about TK, aren't you? He's not dead is he?"
Chloe shivered, Davis wrapped an arm around her, "No, but it would seem so." She shakily reached for Patamon and Siavamon. She hugged the two digimon close to her. "Things are bad, now we have two crazed Digidestin out there. But TK will be easier to get back…then again…it might not be so easy."
Davis helped her to her feet, Veemon took the two unconscious digimon, and then they made their way back to the group. Once there everyone started berating Chloe with questions. She looked sadly at each and every one of them. Then her eyes came in contact with Matt's. They kinda stayed there for a while. "Everyone give her some room!" Davis yelled everyone quieted down.
Matt walked up to Chloe and pulled her into a hug, she gladly accepted it. "Let's go home," he muttered. Everyone except Davis and Veemon looked around to see if they understood.
"But what about TK?" Cody asked, worried about the Keeper of Hope. Matt looked sadly at the group mainly Kari who looked like she was ready to cry.
"There's nothing we can do for him Cody," Davis said sadly as he walked off behind Matt and Chloe. Davis took the two unconscious Digimon from Veemon and held them tight so that they won't fall. Everyone looked stunned none knew what to say. They all slowly followed Matt, Davis, and Chloe. Only Kari stayed behind for a bit. Gatomon looked worriedly at her partner
"Kari?" The young teen looked down at the feline. "Everything is going to be okay… We'll find TK."
"I just wish I knew what happened. Why won't they tell me?"
The Cat shook her head and shrugged, "I don't know…but we'll find out…promise."
Kari smiled softly, even though there were a few tears escaping from her eyes, "Thanks Gatomon."

Matt decided to stay with Chloe because she would be all alone in the house. His mother had left on a emergency meeting and shouldn't be back for a few days. Davis decided to stay for a bit too. He helped patch up Chloe and the two digimon who were now sleeping peacefully on the couch. Chloe and Matt occupied the other couch, so Davis took the seat on the floor.
"Sooo…TK is evil?" Davis asked. Chloe shook her head.
"No, it's just like when there is a dark ring placed around a Digimon. He's still in there, but I don't know exactly how to get it off. Siavamon and Patamon both digivolved and carefully tried to blast it off. But it still wasn't enough. And when the darkness was taking over him my crest…it didn't work."
"The Crest of Faith is pretty strong, it's up there with the Crest of Light and Hope," Matt said thoughtfully.
An idea popped into Davis' head, "What about Kari's crest? I remember Chloe telling me that there was a strong bond there. Maybe there is a chance that TK can be freed by Kari's crest."
Chloe clapped her hands together happy that he remembered that important conversation they had, while Matt stared in disbelief at Davis, "Wow! That's a good idea! I'm just shocked that it came from Davis." Davis narrowed his eyes.
"HEY!! What's that suppose to mean!?!"
"I say we give it a shot!" Chloe said interrupting Davis. Who made an angry sigh and gave up.
Matt smiled and nodded, "Let's get to work."
"We can't forget about the Digimon Emperor either," Davis said dully. The other two made an 'Oh yeah.'
"I don't think we need to worry much about him," Chloe said smiling.
The boys turned and stared in confusion, "Huh?"
She just smiled, "I sense something inside of him that's having doubt about the powers of darkness. And that doubt will help us save him."
"You're scaring me Chloe," Matt said sweat dropping. Chloe gave a puppy dog face.
Davis chuckled, "Kinda like you're a fortune teller or something."
"That's not funny." Chloe mumbled.

Ken smiled as he watched as the data scrolled down all the screens. The data suddenly formed into a being; a mutated looking thing. Ken smile grew to an insane one and then he started laughing. "My creation is perfect!!! Nothing can stop me now!!"
"Master….."
Ken turned around to see a certain blonde boy standing there bowing. Ken raised an eyebrow at this but soo realized that there was a dark spiral on the boy's arm. He smiled, "My plans just got better!"
"Master…might I make a suggestion?" TK asked. Ken stared at him then finally nodded his head. TK walked up to the screen and pointed to the upper chest area. "You should have another set of arms here."
"What digimon should I get it from?"
TK's red gleaming eyes dimmed softly, "I once met this digimon, it would be a great addition to this creation."
"Oh?" Ken asked with amusement. But then realized he didn't want to pressure the subject or TK might break free because of his memories. "Very good my servant. We shall begin the making of the greatest digimon in the entire universe!!!" TK simply stood there with close to nothing emotion in him.
