Good's Failure! Hope and Light Is Lost

Chapter Sixteen   

"Creepy," Tommy said, as they walked through the ruins of what was once a small city. "If I was here a few years ago I'd be clinging to Takuya." He remembered crying his eyes out on the train. He was such a crybaby back then and laughed and joked about it now. "Wonder what happened to this place." He thought aloud.

"I had a lousy childhood," Dark said.

"Huh? What does that have to do with anything?" Tommy asked.

Dark remained quiet for the rest of the time it took to walk to the temple. The others remained quiet as well, wondering about what Dark had said. The masked Digimon had run off somewhere again. It made them wonder how that Digimon could be of use. He was always running off and Danielle was always, well sometimes, chasing after him. Although they were all curious, they kept to themselves. When they reached the temple, Davis did as Dark said and laid TK on the ground. Izumi who had been carrying a still unconscious Patamon remained carrying him.  

TK's face winced and his eyes slowly opened. He sat up, a hand on his throbbing head, and looked around him. "What in the world is going on? Where am I? What happened to me?" His free hand (the one that wasn't on his head) was on the ground to keep him in a sitting position. "Temple," TK said softly. "We're here."

"Remember when you were struck by lightning?" Dark asked.

TK looked at Dark. "How can I forget? Not everyday I get struck by lightning."

"That lightning, I think I've said before, contained evil. It put and triggered evil within you. Every minute you hated me, every time you had a bad thought about anything, and every time you accused me the evil within you grew stronger. You were used as a vessel to store evil as power. And yes, I was the one who created the New Breed. As a child I've drawn my own Digimon."

"Does you story give us a reason why you said you had a bad childhood?" Renamon asked.

"Everything you dream and fantasize about has to do with love. Everything you do is based on love. You," Dark directed his gaze at Rika. "You dreamed and fantasized about being with Ryo." Ryo looked at Rika with a raised brow and she turned her head so he couldn't see her blush. "You," he looked at Kari. "You love TK so much you feared that you would lose him. You guys love your family and that's why you risk your life to save them. That's why you're here, isn't it?" Dark rubbed his temple. "I do this for love."

They all looked at Danielle. She blushed and looked away, embarrassed, even though she knew it wasn't so.

"No. I do this out of love for my mother."

"You're mother?" They all questioned.

"After this, it's all over. I get my mother back and Danielle goes home." Dark looked at Danielle for a while before he looked back at the group before him. "Child of Light and Child of Hope," Dark whispered, but said it loud enough so they could hear him. "That's all they want." Dark said, walking backwards, away from them.

"Who's 'they'?" TK asked.

"The..." A childish voice said.

"Three..." A normal voice said.

"Voices..." An eerie voice said.

They all looked at the temple, where the voices were coming from. But there was nobody there.

"Thank you..."

"Child of..."

"Hope..."

"Huh? Me?" TK pointed to himself. "What did I do?"

"The power of evil you possess..."

"We need it..."

"To realize..."

TK tense when he felt pain surge through his body. Soon the pain was too unbearable to stand and he fell to his hands and knees. A black force field appeared around him to keep anybody from helping him. Was it going to end this way? Did evil really win? He heard Kari's faint voice calling out to him. He also heard the others calling his name. But why were their voices getting softer and softer? Were they getting further and further away? Or were their voices getting tired? He didn't know what was going on. All he felt was the pain.

TK fell onto his front and three black beams coming from TK zoomed into the temple.

A child walked out.

A person walked out.

An old person walked out.

The force field around TK disappeared and Kari went to his side. She turned him over and shook him. "TK? TK, wake up! TK, please wake up."

"It's..."

"No use..."

"He's dead..."

They waved their hands and all the Digimon partners went flying back and hit against the ruins. The Frontier gang suddenly changed and went flying back as well. When Fairymon hit against a wall, she dropped Patamon. When he hit the hard ground, he woke. He slowly got to his feet. It took him a while to realize what was going on. When he spotted TK, he ran over to him.

Kari looked at the three people through the tears that brimmed in her eyes. "What's your reason for doing this?"

"Quite obvious..."

"Isn't it?"

"We want to rule all..."

They stretched out their hands towards her. A black aura surrounded her. They lifted their hands and she lifted off the ground. "Why am I always a part of this?" Kari said through gritted teeth. The aura or whatever was around her seemed to be constricting.

"Hey! You're forgetting about us!" Davis yelled.

Using their free hands, they waved it at Davis and the others. Bars came out of the hard ground and formed a cage.

They all glared at Davis. "Now look what you've done."

"We aren't..."

"Going to..."

"Kill you..."

They snapped their fingers.

(I know nothing of soccer and I don't like soccer)

Davis received the ball that a teammate passed to him. He quickly moved towards the goal. It was just another Sunday hanging out with his friends. He'd met his best friend, Ken Ichijouji, when he accidentally hit him with a soccer ball. His other best friend was Takuya Kanbara, who he had met when he played against another soccer team. His third and last best friend was Takato Matsuda, who he'd known since childhood.

After the game, the four best friends went to a small café for a drink. While drinking, they spotted a group of four girls sitting not far away from them. One of them had long blonde hair, the second had lavender hair, the third have reddish (I think its reddish) colored hair, and the fourth had brown (I think it's brown) hair.

"I call dibs on the blonde," Takuya whispered to his friends.

"You can't." Takato said. "That's Kouji Minamoto's girlfriend. Kouji is like the coolest kid in school and not to mention the riches. If he catches you with his girl, you're dead meat."

"Well, this Kouji person isn't here. Besides, I'm just going to do a little flirting. I'm not going to do anything drastic like asking her out on a date. You need to chill, man. Now watch this," Takuya moved out from his seat and walked over to the girls. "Hello, ladies."

Takuya was moved aside by Takato. "Sorry," he said to the girls and then moved away with Takuya. "You're going to get yourself into more trouble than you can handle."

"I just wanna know what her name."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"You got what you want," Dark said.

"Oh, yes..."

"The..."

"Child…"

"Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

"Of course..."

"Not, my..."

"Dear sweet child..."

The normal person and older person went inside the child. "We promised you your mother. But, our dear child, your mother is dead. We do not have such power to bring her back to life. Your time line has been changed. The destined ones are no longer. With a snap of our finger, every thing has changed. The Kamiya's no longer had a boy and girl. All they had was a boy. The Ishida's no longer had two boys. They only had one."

The child changed to the young aged adult. "Danielle is mine. She always has been since the beginning."

The person changed to an old person. "Your duty is done." The old person waved her hand and Darkmon disappeared.

"You lied to me." Dark said.

"Back to your time of nothing," The old woman waved her hand and Dark disappeared.

"NO!" Danielle yelled. "He doesn't have a time to go back to now. The past has been changed. He probably doesn't exist anymore. You sent him to nothing."

The old woman changed to the young adult. "Go back to the dark Danielle and wait for me." He waved his hand and she disappeared. "Go home." He said to the masked Digimon.

The masked Digimon turned and ran.

"Down to the ground, boy," The ground opened up and swallowed TK. The person turned and went back inside the building where they had brought in Kari earlier.

~*~*~*~*~*~

TK shook groaned as he rolled over. His whole body was aching like crazy. He felt terrible. What in the world happened to him? It was a few minutes before things started to register into his head.  He wasn't dead. He'd heard those three people say he was dead, but he wasn't. It looked like goodness has failure. Hope and Light is lost.

The End
