(Poor Taichi, finding out that the person that he believed in so much for everything, was not as good and benevolent as he was made out to be... I don't own Digimon.)

Taichi wept into his hand. He was in a state of absolute shock. He had just read the dark, brutal past, of a man he considered to be a strong leader and someone to look up to. President Oikawa was his hero and role model. Now he had discovered that this man was a war monger and traitor. He used lies corruption and murder to achieve his position. What did Odaiba Industries stand for now? What else was going on that the Digital Knights didn't know about? What was Digital Star Network's REAL purpose? He felt lost and confused, like he no longer had anything to believe in. All this time, he was fighting for a peace that was never coming. Thinking about that only made him cry harder as he began to stand up. "No... No... No..." He kept saying hoarsely.

Sora let a few tears trickled down her delicate face. It tore her up inside, that this young man had realized the truth about someone he believed to be a hero. She had just witnessed this boy's dreams shatter instantly. She opened her arms out, and wrapped them around Taichi, embracing him tightly as she let him cry. "I'm sorry..." She whispered to him as she hugged him in a loving comforting way. Deep inside though, she wanted to kiss his tears away.

Takeru was cornered in the storage room. He had just been discovered... An office of the Virus Hackers, one whom he believed to be Taichi's sister, had cornered him. He was nervous as hell and knew that there was evidence to catch him. He didn't want to create a disturbance, but he also wanted to get to the bottom of the data that he found. Without thinking he tore his hood off, revealing his hair and face.

Hikari froze. This was the same boy she caught on camera. That young Digital Knight that was boarding with her brother; he was handsomer in person. She blushed madly at the sight of him, but then realized, that if he was here, does that mean her brother would be too?

Takeru spoke up. "Yes. I am a Digital Knight. I just caught this information right here." He waved the CD around. I want an answer... Is this true?! Or is it a lie?! The part about our President Oikawa being a war criminal, is it true?!" He had a questioning, uncertain dreading look in his eyes, for he did not want to believe it. "It must be a lie! The Oikawa I know is a benevolent man, whom only wants peace!"

Hikari looked into the boys eyes. 'Truly, they invasion Oikawa as a war hero, that's promising them a new world... They don't seem to realize the harsh reality that is under their noses right now.'

Takeru noticed a sympathetic look in the girl's eyes. He felt himself soften up for some unknown reason. "Please... Tell me..."

Hikari grimaced for a moment, before telling him. "What you read is true. Yukino Oikawa is not who you think he is... All of the criminal and terrorist activity you read is true..."

Takeru went pale. "No..." He gasped. "What have we been fighting for all this time? HAVE WE BEEN FIGHTING FOR AN ENDLESS WAR?!" He shrieked. Finally, he dropped to his knees, tears streaking down his face. Finally he broke into sobs...

Hikari dropped everything and ran over to the boy's side, and hugged him tightly, letting him cry onto her shoulder...

Meanwhile, Sora was still comforting a hysterical Tai... Her hatred for Oikawa had now grown. 'He not only causes war... But he's made false promises to so many hopefuls... Taichi here really hoped for an end to war and peace...'

Tai began to calm down, trying to recompose himself. He hated to have broken down like that and felt so ashamed. "Ugh..." He said still hoarse from crying. "I just couldn't help breaking down."

"Don't feel ashamed..." Sora said, giving him a hug. "You needed to get it all out... It must be hard for you... You had all your hopes and dreams on that man..."

"Sora..." Tai was in a faulty state. "Tell me... What is the true purpose of Digital Star Network?"

Sora looked downcast. "It's not and advanced trade, media or security system... All of the satellites that make up the network, the four primary ones, that are like the 3, 6, 9, and 12 on a clock, are actually nuclear weapon satellites, designed to hold the Earth in place and make it act as a battle ship... The rest are just dummy satellites."

Tai looked even more miserable. "I've been promoting a nuclear weapon?! No... How could fate be so cruel...?"

"Fate may seem promising sometimes, but it isn't always what you want it to be..."

Tai heard a new female voice, and snapped to attention. He turned towards the doorway, to find Takeru. Right next to him, was the speaker. Someone, whom he hadn't seen in years, was right in front of him. A girl with short brown hair and innocent eyes stood out to meet him. "Hello... Taichi, ni-chan.

"Hi-Hikari onee-chan?!" Tai managed to squeak out. He stood up immediately. "Kami-sama..."

"Ni-san..." Hikari said with her voice breaking. "I've missed you so much..."

Taichi just stood there for what seemed like an eternity. But then, with a sob, he ran over, scooped up his sister, and hugged her, bawling. "HIKARI-CHAN! Kami... I thought you were dead all this time... You're alive... I should've protected you better, and then I wouldn't have lost you in the first place..."

Hikari patted her brother's back. "Ni-chan... You always told me boy didn't cry." She laughed, returning the hug.

Takeru couldn't help but smile at the scene before him. 'That's so touching... Taichi finally found his onee-chan, after all this time.' He thought.

After a long time, Taichi finally let go of Hikari, now feeling that something good had come out of his plight and two things...as he looked at Sora. He walked over to the auburn haired girl, and spoke softly. "Sora-chan... You've made me realize the truth about who I was working for, and I've also been reunited with my sister... Thank you... You didn't have to show me the truth. You could have seen me as the enemy, but you took pity on me and made realize. Why?"

Sora smiled sadly. "You were trying to fight for a better future, but you were being steered in the wrong direction. You were doing a lot for avenging your sister. The Digital Knights are just like us, striving for a better universe. You were just being lied to by a mad man..."

Taichi couldn't help but smile at the girl. 'This girl, how could she wind up with a military group? She's so kind, beautiful, and sweet...like an angel. I want to find out more about her...' "Sora... Why would an angel like you end up with a military fraction? You seem like the kind of girl who deserves better..."

Sora blushed a bit at the kindness being shown to her. 'He...He thinks of me as an angel...? No boy has ever referred to me as that before.' The more Sora thought about Taichi, the deeper she blushed.

Takeru cleared his throat, getting Taichi's attention. "Taichi-san... What about Major Koushiro and the others?"

Taichi's eyes widened. "Ara... They don't know about what we just discovered... We better find them and let them know. This mission was just a wild goose chase... Who know what our so-called "President," is up to." Tai stated. "Looks like the Digital Knights, and the rest of Earth, along with the Universe, needs to know the truth...before it's too late...

"But, where in the base, are the Major, and the others?" Takeru asked.

Meanwhile, while this entire turn of events, involving Takeru, and Taichi were going on, the other members were having their own discoveries...

Hours Earlier...

Takato walked through the corridors of the hallway. He wondered how his teammates were holding up on their ends. He saw nothing but metallic silver floors, walls and ceilings, with a few red and blue doors. 'Well, what should I have expected? Rainbow walls and colored banners, I don't think so.' He laughed to himself. 'Where should I check out first?' He wondered. He walked down the corridor, looking for any sign of an important room. He stopped in front of a red door, which opened up, as he stood in front. He walked inside, to have a look around. He found himself in what looked like the gym. "I guess it couldn't hurt to work out a bit, in case something goes wrong." He thought aloud. He took a nearby punching bag and set to work.

After 15 minutes...

"HIYA!" Takato gave one mighty roundhouse kick, which broke the punching bag in half, ripping the fabric, and sending sand everywhere... He sweat dropped at his finished work. "Whoops... Guess footwork was too much and too fast for the thing..." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

Little did Takato know that his workout was being watched by a familiar female...? This particular female was eyeing the now shirtless Takato, in a lustful manner. "Oh... So fit and sweaty..." She said sexily.

Takato jumped slightly and whirled around to face whoever had spoken. His eyes widened as he saw the girl before him. "YOU!"

(I'll leave it there... Who is the girl? Heh, as if you didn't know... RR)
