Chapter 9: Ken's Redeemed
After finding the right Digimon Ken had taken the arms of Devimon. TK stood by his side next to Wormon without showing any sort of emotion. Ken laughed as he watched Kimerimon (A/N: SP?) do all the destruction for him. He was immensely pleased with himself and yet deep down there was something nagging in the pit of his stomach that this is not right. A lot of times the image of that strange new DD kept popping in his head. He did not even know her name, and yet he was thinking of her almost constantly.
"Damn her!!" Wormon looked worriedly at Ken while TK just glanced at him. Ken quietly swore the rest under his breath. Wormon slowly scooted his way towards his master and looked up at him with a worried expression.
"Is everything all right master?" Ken glared at the digimon who sunk back in fear. He hid behind TK's legs.
TK merely stepped forward, "There is something bothering you master?" Ken looked at what he now thought to be his most loyal servant, he sighed and leaned back in the chair. Images of this new unknown digidestined appeared on the screen.
"Do you know who this girl is?" Ken asked TK, there was a bit of a silence.
"Her name is Chloe Sada she is living without any family at the moment, her digimon is Siavamon I do not know if it has an Digi armor, she also has one of the three powerful crests. Which is the Crest of Faith." TK explained in one short breath. Ken finally knew who this person was. He can worry about her later because he spotted another digimon village that looked worth conquering.

(Author's Note: I'm just going to kinda summarize this part, I've that you guys have watched the show and generally know what's going on here)
Davis and company formulated a plan to somehow get into the base without Ken's system catching them. They were now just waiting for the signal. It came when a huge pillar of fire irrupted from the ground and covered the entire base. They quickly made they're jump onto the base and quickly started making their way through the base. A few Bakamon stopped them but it was nothing they couldn't handle. But in the next room Kimerimon towered over them, all their digimon attacked but with just a few sloppy shots by Kimerimon all the digimon wither went back to their in-training form, their Rookie form, or their Champion form.
Kimerimon froze when Ken realized that the digimon are real and not part of a game like he thought. Davis managed to slip by Kimerimon, Ken ordered Kimerimon to attack the others before they reach the engine room. But Kimerimon ignored him and flew away. Davis managed to get to the engine room with Wormon's help and released the golden armor digiegg. Veemon golden armor digivolved to Magnamon, and started fighting Kimerimon. The two took outside and everyone followed him. Magnamon was losing at first but with Wormon's sacrifice he managed to destroy Kimerimon. Ken fell on his knees as he witnessed all this, he didn't notice TK slowly turn and walk away, disappearing in the wind.
Ken was in a bit of shock when he realized what he had done; he tore off the digimon emperor's clothing revealing the true Ken underneath. He then had to watch as Wormon disappeared in his arms, the others were trying to help him but Ken ignored them all. They watched sadly as Ken shakily walked away. Chloe left the group too; she hurried off to the digi gate.
"Alright I guess it's time for us to go home," Davis said as he put his hands in his pockets. He then noticed that he was missing another member, "Where's Chloe?" The others looked around and realized the missing DD.
"She already went home," Gatomon said calmly. Everyone turned to the feline digimon.
"How do you know that Gatomon?" Kari asked as she looked at her partner. The cat sighed and shrugged.
"I guess she wanted to get home as soon as possible I mean without Ken's base don't you think that the power of the dark rings and spirals would be gone now, she probably thought that TK would be free by now. So maybe he's waiting at his house for her," The cat digimon explained.
"That is true," Hawkmon said as he flew above everyone. Everyone nodded in agreement and raced towards the portal.

Laying in despair, everything was taken away from him. His brother and now his digimon partner are gone; he couldn't stop the tears that kept pouring out of his eyes. His tears stopped crying momentarily when he heard a 'beep' coming from somewhere. He looked curiously around the room until he heard another and it was focused on the computer at his desk. Ken slowly stood up and walked over to it, a chat room had suddenly opened up on his computer. That was practically impossible, he then noticed what the screen name of the other person was…FaithChlid87…
Recalling back when TK explained who the girl that he kept thinking about was, he remembered TK saying that she held the Crest of Faith. He took a chance and responded to this mysterious person.

Ken sat there and stared at the screen. Was he willing to let a complete stranger help him? But for some reason she wasn't much of a stranger to him, he felt that he's know her for a long time now. How was that? The logic didn't match up. I guess he was willing to let her help him, the Child of Faith sounds like they could do some good on this tattered heart.

Davis had insisted that he stick with Chloe for some odd reason, whatever Davis' motives were no one would ever know. Anyway the group minus TK and Ken were starting to fix up the Digital World slowly. It was a hot day and all the digimon including Davis and Chloe decided to take a break. Davis glanced over at Chloe who was closing her eyes and relaxing under the tree they were sitting under.
"Chloe? I gotta a question for ya," Davis said with a determined tone. Chloe opened her eyes and stared at Davis.
"Yes?"
"Well, I know TK hasn't come back but…" he glanced quickly at her again who immediately saddened at the thought, "I was wondering…you seem to know better than any of us what is going on, how do you do it?" Chloe stood up and walked a few steps away from Davis and then stopped and turned around and stared at him. He saw that she was confused as well.
There were tears threatening to come out of her eyes, "I don't know, it's like something or someone is whispering things that only I can hear, it kinda scares me." Davis got up, walked over to her and hugged her, she continued, "I do have a hunch though. The three special crests seem to give us power, Kari has her own power, I don't know if she knows it exists but its there."
"And TK?" Davis asked as he tightened his hold on her, she gladly accepted it.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that it's there. Something hidden deep down, I wish we can figure it out so we can help him."
"Shhh…don't worry we'll figure it out together," Davis whispered as he brushed his hand through her short hair. They stayed like this for a while in the distance they seemed to have ignored some spectators. Veemon, Siavamon, along with all the other digimon in the area were sitting at a safe distance watched this soap opera fold out before them.
Author's Note: I don't know about this chapter…it's kinda of depressing. If this chapter is too depressing for you tell me and I'll make the next chapter more happy and alive ok?
