Me "Wow! I'm so sorry! I owe you guys such a big apology for getting this chapter up so late!" * gets down on her knees *

Davis "Yes yes you do. You should feel very ashamed of yourself."

Me "Ah oh well. The important part is that the chapter is FINALLY up! Keyword being finally."

Davis "Yes now I get to rant!"

Me "Woah hold it! Who gave you permission to rant on my story?!"

Davis "Uh the person who signed this contract!" * holds a contract up to her face *

Me "Oh great. Just great. Can't even get any privacy in my own story! Oh well. Anyways thanks to all the reviewers who reviewed my fic the last time! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you guys like it so far! Oh yeah and just to relieve some people's worries, this IS going to turn out to be a takari! So yeah just making that clear."

Davis "No! You just HAD to remind me!" * groans *

Ken "Alright I'm intercepting here. Azn Angel Hikari does not own any part of digimon eventhough she wishes she did. She DOES however own this storyline."

Me "Hey Ken you added that on didn't you?"

Ken "Yes yes I did. You see you took so long trying to update that it gave me time to think of something a little new." * glares at me *

Me "Oh. Well uh. On with the fic!" * runs away from Ken and yells over her shoulder * "Oh yeah this is in TK's perspective!!!"

Chapter 11- Unexpected Help

~*~

A jolt awoke me as I tried to see through darkness. It took me awhile to actually figure out where I was when I heard voices outside the car.

"I shall report to Lord Unioctomon's chamber immediately to report the progress of the mission." Takeru could hear from inside the vehicle.

"Very good. Shall anyone need me I will be in the cells checking on storage." Another being said.

After awhile of laying in the darkness and listening carefully to the surroundings, Takeru crouched and found a button on the door to the trunk of the vehicle. Pressing it, the door opened slightly as he took a look outside. From what he could tell nothing was there to bring him any harm. Opening the trunk full way, he climbed out of it and took a look around.

It was amazing. Like a village underwater. Buildings roamed the floor of hard sand, and vehicles could be seen in the air. A huge bubble surrounded the entire city or town and there were sea digimon of every sort in it. Quickly, Takeru shut the door and then dashed off to a nearby building. Once in the safety of the alleyway, he tried to get a grip on himself and try and figure things out.

'Whatever I do I have to find Kari. But where to begin!?' He thought frantically as he looked down the dark alleyway. There was something he hadn't noticed before he entered though. Two red eyes gleaming at him shone from the shadows of the buildings.

"Who are you?" He asked aloud before he could stop himself.

"I think the question is who are you and what are you doing here of all places." The voice replied as a digimon came into view. It was a scubamon but you could tell it was old. Wrinkle lines etched her face and a ragged cape was slung over her back as she hobbled along with a walking cane made out of brown coral.

"Why should I tell you what I'm doing here?" He asked a little coldly. For all he knew the scubamon could be an evil one, like the ones he and Kari had witnessed that day at the dark ocean.

"Well. If I knew what you were here for I might be able to help you. For a price of course." The scubamon said with a little wicked smile as she hobbled forward a little more.

Sighing Takeru shrugged and figured, 'What have I got to lose?'.

"Alright here's the deal I'm here looking for a friend. She's human a little shorter than I am, brown hair and crimson eyes." He indicated gesturing with his hands.

The scubamon nodded as she took a webbed hand to her chin and thought a moment, "Yes I believe she is here. The guards around here have been uptight lately. They've been more alert than usual for trouble makers."

"Where could she be then?" Takeru asked getting more impatient to find Kari as soon as possible.

"Most likely up at the castle. You see it up there, the biggest building this city has." She gestured.

As Takeru looked up above the rooftops of the buildings, to where the scubamon was pointing, he saw a huge sand castle type structure. There were huge terrets and different shells lined the walls of the building. Multi-coloured coral made a gate in the looming arched door. Even from his point of view (and that was pretty far away), Takeru could make out heavily armed guards in front of the gate and surrounding the entrance.

"Thank you. What's your price though?" Takeru asked skeptically looking at the scubamon.

"No price. Once I heard your story I decided against it." Her wrinkly face smiled up at him.

"That's very kind of you ma'am but may I ask why?"

The old scubamon nodded and smiled, "I see the same spark in you as I saw in my husband so long ago."

Takeru blushed a bit and then turned to leave, "Thank you." He called over his shoulder as he ran off.

"Be careful!! If you need any help yell for Carrie in a cave or alleyway!" The scubamon yelled waving at him as he ran down the dark alleyway, twisting and turning, jumping over fences and came somewhat close to the building.

Looking up above him Takeru was shocked. It was even bigger than he had imagined seeing it from such a distance before. Quickly he darted over towards another building and hid in the shadows. Peeking out from the side to gaze at the huge underwater castle, he noticed something very different from just a split second before. The gates were opening and soldiers began to come out.

As more started to appear Takeru watched in awe as about 30 submarimon came out of the doors and started marching down. A wagon was trailing in the middle of it where a huge digimon was basked in comfortable cushions as some of the submarimon carried the big wagon. Yet there was something that caught TK's eye mostly. There was a pole stuck to the middle of a wagon and a girl tied down to the pole with her mouth covered. She was in a long white dress and had brown hair. He couldn't quite see from a distance, but somehow, TK just knew that that girl tied to the pole was none other than his best friend Kari.

~*Kari's POV*~

A loud voice boomed behind Kari as she was pulled out into the underwater city.

"If you will not be my wife, then I will make you pay." A menacing voice said as he laughed menacingly and the wagon lurched forward. She didn't say anything and didn't move except for one solitary tear sliding down her cheek.
