Wizard jumped down from the rooftop and slowly walked towards the group of
eight.
"What do we do?" Eric asked.
"Are our digimon strong enough to fight again?" Chloe asked.
"We are if you need us to be!" Solarimon told Amanda.
"Then let's kick it up a notch!" Amanda cried out as her digimon began to glow.
Solarimon digivolve to... AURORAMON!
Chloe, Kaii and Eric each looked at their digimon and nodded.
Lupemon digivolve to... ALPHAMON! Tigrimon digivolve to... SIBERIMON! Ribbitomon digivolve to... KAPPAMON!
"Let's go!" Siberimon roared as the four charged towards Wizardmon.
Kappamon detached his back Fin and lunged at Wizardmon.
"Fin Blade!"
Wizardmon used his staff to stop Kappamon's blade and then used the other end to hit the back of Kappamon's feet, causing him to fall to the ground. Wizardmon then raised his staff over his head and prepared to slam it down onto the fallen Kappamon. Alphamon jumped at Wizardmon and tackled him to the ground before he was able to strike Kappamon again with his staff. Wizardmon hit the ground and rolled out of Alphamon's reach. The evil digimon then sprung back on his feet and launched another attack.
"Wizard's Ring!" he cried out as he tossed a ring at Alphamon. The ring expanded, went around Alphamon and then tightened. This paralyzed Alphamon. Wizardmon then charged and swung his golden staff, hitting Alphamon in the head. This caused Alphamon to limply fall to the ground.
"That's enough!" Eric cried. "We have to beat him!"
"No problem!" Auroramon and Siberimon cried out as Auroramon formed two glowing orbs in her hand. Siberimon then ran on the other side of Wizardmon and lunged. Wizardmon easily dodged, but this make him forget about Auroramon.
"Luminous Ball!"
Two orbs were shot towards Wizardmon. He jumped over the first one and used his staff to deflect the second right back at Auroramon. The first ball directly hit Siberimon and the deflected shot connected hit Auroramon. All four of the partner digimon were down.
"What do we do now?" Chloe asked the group.
"It's our turn!" Amanda cried out as she picked up a piece of broken wood.
"No Amanda!" Eric cried out, "We have to retreat!"
However, Eric's words came too late and Amanda was already running towards Wizardmon.
"Not so fast human!" Wizardmon cried out as aimed his staff towards Amanda.
"Thunderball!" Wizardmon launched a ball of light
The ball flew towards Amanda but just before it connected Kaii tried to push her out of the way. A massive light erupted from the connection and when Kaii and Amanda opened their eyes they were no longer in Sukoza city... and they couldn't see Chloe, Eric or any of the digimon.
"Kaii, where are we?" asked Amanda.
"I have no idea..." Kaii trailed off.
The two travelers looked at their surroundings. They appeared to be on a cliff face about 50 feet up. The cliff face seemed to be part of a very tall mountain. The looked up but the mountain was so high the peak was shrouded in the clouds. They then looked in front of them and they could see the ocean in the distance.
"We definitely aren't near Sukoza City." Kaii told Amanda.
"For sure." Amanda agreed. "There wasn't an ocean anywhere near the city."
They then looked to their left. There was thick forest in front of them and there was something that towered above the trees in the distance. The object couldn't be seen very well but both of the children were curious to what it was. They looked to the other side and there was a lush rolling field. The field kept going until it reached the beach.
"There's nothing over there Kaii." Amanda stated as she looked towards the field. "I say we head towards that tower."
Kaii nodded in agreement and the two set off on their journey. They began to carefully make their way down the mountain. Once they reached the base they began walking into the forest. The forest was darker than it had appeared from the cliff face. The tree canopy had grown so thick that Kaii and Amanda could barely see the ground ahead of them. They found what appeared to be a crudely cut path and began to walk along it. After about ten minutes of walking Kaii stopped Amanda and they stood there silently. Amanda finally decided to ask what Kaii was doing so she opened her mouth and began to speak. Kaii quickly covered Amanda's mouth with his hand and whispered to her.
"Shhhh... I hear something." Kaii quietly told Amanda.
Amanda listened hard and then she heard the faint sound of branches snapping. They both stood side by side and listened, trying to figure out what was making this sound. The noise then stopped. Kaii and Amanda nodded to each other and continued to walk along the path. The pair made it about twenty steps when the crashing sound suddenly became incredibly louder. The ground then began to shake the two were paralyzed with fear. Amanda then grabbed Kaii and dove off the path, into the thick foliage. They both looked threw the shrubbery as a massive green digimon ran along the path. The digimon ran on its hind legs, had two large black and red striped tusks protruding from its head and a third horn on its snout. Amanda's digivice locked onto the unknown digimon.
'Tuskmon: This champion digimon is extremely dangerous because it will attack first and never ask questions later. It would rather be destroyed than retreat in battle.'
Tuskmon heard the mechanical voice from Amanda's digivice and let out a mighty roar.
"RUN!" Kaii screamed as the two of them frantically ran towards the tower.
Kaii's scream echoed throughout the forest and reached the tower. His voice reached a figure, which was hidden in the shadows and looked like he had been there for ages. The creature heard the scream and his two eyes lit up.
"T.K." It said in a mechanical voice.
Kaii and Amanda ran along the path in the direction of the tower with Tuskmon in hot pursuit.
"We're not going to make it to the tower!" Kaii cried out to Amanda.
"All right, then let's go deeper into the forest, maybe the trees will slow him down!" Amanda replied.
With that the two jumped off the path and began to weave their way through the dense cluster of trees. Tuskmon saw what the two children had done and the digimon began to charge through the trees. The dense trees slowed Tuskmon down, just as Amanda had thought. Kaii and Amanda continued to run through the forest as fast as they possibly could as they headed towards a solid rock face. They reached the rocks and looked up and knew they would not be able to climb it.
"Over here!" Amanda stated as she pointed towards a small cavern in the side of the cliff.
"Let's go!" Kaii confirmed as they both ran towards the opening.
Tuskmon broke through the trees and slammed into the wall just ahead of them. The impact stunned the champion digimon, as it lay there, unmoving. Kaii and Amanda slowly walked around it. They didn't want to make any sound that would bring Tuskmon back into consciousness.
"T.K." the mechanical voice said again as he exited the tower. The large robotic figure then scanned the surroundings and detected two digivices in the general surroundings. The creature then walked towards the digivices.
Kaii and Amanda had managed to sneak around Tuskmon when they both heard the sound of branches breaking.
"Is it another Tuskmon?" Amanda asked Kaii.
"Let's not find out." Kaii replied as they both ran into the cave.
The sound of the branches caused Tuskmon to wake up and it charged towards the opening. Luckily the opening was too small for Tuskmon to fit, but it would not give up. Tuskmon began to ram its horned head into the cliff face, shacking the cave.
"He's trying to cause a cave-in!" Kaii cried out.
Rocks began to fall from the roof of the cave
"We can't stay here any longer..." Amanda bluntly stated. "We have to get out."
"On the count of three." Kaii nodded.
"One..." "Two..." "THREE!"
Both children didn't move.
"You didn't run!" Amanda screamed.
"Neither did you!" Kaii replied
The crashing around them suddenly stopped and Kaii and Amanda looked out to the cave opening. Tuskmon still stood there. Kaii opened his mouth to question what was going on when Tuskmon suddenly burst into tiny fragments. The figure of what had destroyed Tuskmon was standing at the cave entrance. Kaii's digivice locked onto the creature.
"Andromon: This ultimate digimon is very loyal to his friends and uses his Lightning Blade to protect those around him."
"T.K." Andromon said as he walked towards the children.
"T.K.?" Amanda questioned. "Who's T.K."
"You are" Andromon trailed off as he pointed at Kaii. "You are T.K., the digi-destined of Hope."
"I'm not T.K." Kaii slowly told Andromon. "I'm his son."
"No, you are T.K., follow me." Andromon replied as he walked deeper into the cave.
The two children followed.
"Why didn't you tell us you are the son of a digi-destined!" Amanda whispered to Kaii
"Ummm... I don't know, I just couldn't." Kaii replied.
"Well, where is he?" Amanda protested. "Couldn't he help us with Wizardmon and DarkAngemon?"
"He can't help us." Kaii stated.
"Why not!" Amanda continued. There was now a touch of anger in her voice.
"Because he's gone... and it's my fault." Kaii said quietly as a tear ran down his cheek. Kaii then ran past Andromon and into the darkness.
Amanda stood there in shock at what had just happened. 'What have I done.' She thought to herself.
Amanda then ran back up with Andromon as he entered a large dimly lit cavern.
"Lights!" He cried out. The room lit up and the walls were covered in computers. In the center of the room was a circle carved into the ground. Kaii was standing in the middle of the circle when the lights were turned on.
"You ARE T.K." Andromon persisted as he pushed a few buttons. The circle Kaii was standing on began to light up. Kaii ran outside the circle and next to Amanda. "I'm sorry." Amanda whispered. "Not now." Kaii whispered back. "We might be in danger."
The circle on the floor slowly moved up about six feet and then down to the ground. The circle moved up and down so fast that it now appeared to be a solid cylinder. Then images appeared.
"It's a hologram!" Amanda stated.
A picture of a little boy appeared on the screen. He was mostly wearing yellow and teal and had a white bucket hat on. Next to him was a Patamon.
"Kaii... he looks just like you." Amanda gasped.
"I know," Kaii replied. "He's T.K., He's my dad."
Kaii then turned to Andromon.
"Andromon, My name is Kaii and I am not T.K., I am his son."
"I do not understand." Andromon stated.
"Many years ago, my dad and a group of other digi-destined were chosen to save both the digital world and the real one. Four years after succeeding, he was yet again chosen to save the digital world. After this began the time of peace between digimon and humans and my dad grew up. He became an author and wrote stories about his travels in the digital world. Then the war between the Digi-destined and the Digi-Destroyers sprang up. My dad and the remaining digi-destined created a secret strike-force bent on taking down the enemy. I was raised in their underground base and trained to be their future. Towards the end of the war the base was attacked and I was sent to get help. By the time help got there, it was too late. It was my fault my dad and everybody else isn't here, I was too slow. My dad was a great hero, I am not him. I'm not even close."
Amanda slowly walked over to Kaii and slapped him in the face.
"Shut up." Amanda said bluntly. "You were the one who carried me out of the temple after our first battle. You were the one who took care of me. You were the one who saved me from Harpymon. You made sure that I wouldn't get hurt.... and I won't forget it. You may not be your dad, but you ARE a hero. You're my hero."
With that Amanda learned forward and hugged Kaii.
"It's not you're fault." She whispered to him. "I was never you're fault."
"Kaii..." Andromon slowly said.
Kaii and Amanda looked back at Andromon, who burst into tiny fragments. Behind him was Wizardmon.
"I'm so touched!" Wizardmon mocked as he walked forwards. "If only I had a tissue!"
"Back off." Amanda said with a growl.
"Wow!" Wizardmon laughed. "I'm so frightened. Two pathetic children with no digimon to protect them. How will I ever survive!"
"We have to run." Kaii whispered to Amanda. He had gotten his composure back.
"I know." Amanda replied.
With that they ran away from the entrance and deeper into the cave.
"Not fast my pretties!" Wizardmon cried out as he ran after them.
The two made it around 500 meters when Kaii stopped Amanda. They had reached a chasm. They both looked down but could not see the bottom. They turned around to find another way when Wizardmon walked in sight. The two stood paralyzed by fear as Wizardmon walked towards them. Kaii charged at Wizardmon but was knocked aside into the cave wall. Wizardmon then grabbed Amanda's arm and held her over the chasm.
"Please... don't." Amanda said quietly.
"Not making any smart remarks now are you?" Wizardmon laughed.
"NO!" Kaii interrupted. "Don't take her, Wizardmon... take me!"
Wizardmon stood there thinking. "Ummm... no."
He dropped Amanda and disappeared. Kaii rushed over to the side of chasm and looked down. A bright light came forth from the bottom of the chasm and Kaii closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes he was floating in a world of only black space. A dim white light was there, and nothing else.
"Where's Amanda?" Kaii asked. "Bring her back!"
There was no response
"I know you're out there!" Kaii screamed. "Bring her back!"
There was a small whispering that came from all around Kaii. It slowly got louder. The voice was repeating the same thing.
"Hope."
Kaii then opened his eyes. He was still in the cave. He got up and looked around. This cave was different. There was no chasm. He turned around and saw Chloe, Eric, Amanda and the four digimon sleeping by a dying fire.
"AMANDA!" Kaii cried out as he ran over to her, giving her a huge hug.
"WHA!!!" Amanda screamed as she woke up. The scream woke up everybody else.
"I thought I lost you." Kaii said to her.
"Man, Wizardmon's attack must've hit you harder than we thought!" Amanda joked.
"What?" Kaii asked.
"Wizardmon's attack." Chloe added. "The one that you pushed Amanda out of the way of."
"Don't you remember?" Lupemon asked.
"Kaii, after you got hit with the blast, we knew we couldn't stay any longer." Solarimon said.
"Somehow we managed to escape." Ribbitomon added.
"Are you all right Kaii?" Tigrimon asked.
"I'm fine, I guess I just need some sleep."
"I think we all do." Eric added with a smile.
"First I have to tell you all something." Kaii told them group. "I had a lot of time to think about this and I have finally decided to tell you all."
"Tell us what?" Amanda asked.
"Are you sure?" Ribbitomon asked Kaii.
"I am." Kaii told his digimon. He then turned to the others. "I know that I haven't told you guys anything about my past... well I'm about to now."
Kaii told the other digi-destined and the digimon all about his father and about his past. While telling the others about his life, Kaii looked around at everybody and noticed that they each had bruises and small cuts on them. Those were the result of trying to escape from Wizardmon. They all went to sleep after Kaii finished. A few hours later Kaii woke Ribbitomon up and Kaii heard what happened. Kaii was furious. Amanda then woke up and went to see if Kaii was actually okay.
"I'm all right." Kaii told her.
"I don't believe it." Amanda replied. "Now what's wrong?"
"Look at everybody, Wizrdmon hurt them. I can't let him get away with it."
"We won't let him." Amanda told him. "But we have to do it as a team."
"I guess you're right." Kaii replied as he smiled at Amanda.
Amanda got up and began to walk away. She then turned around and sat back down next to Kaii.
"I never thanked you for saving me from Harpymon." Amanda said quietly. "And for all the other things you did for me. I owe you my life Kaii. You may not be you're dad, but you're still a hero. Never forget that."
She kissed him on the cheek and then got up and went back to the others. Kaii turned to Ribbitomon.
"Ribbitomon, we're going to destroy Wizardmon. I won't let him harm my friends anymore."
With that the two left camp, the sun was just beginning to rise.
"What do we do?" Eric asked.
"Are our digimon strong enough to fight again?" Chloe asked.
"We are if you need us to be!" Solarimon told Amanda.
"Then let's kick it up a notch!" Amanda cried out as her digimon began to glow.
Solarimon digivolve to... AURORAMON!
Chloe, Kaii and Eric each looked at their digimon and nodded.
Lupemon digivolve to... ALPHAMON! Tigrimon digivolve to... SIBERIMON! Ribbitomon digivolve to... KAPPAMON!
"Let's go!" Siberimon roared as the four charged towards Wizardmon.
Kappamon detached his back Fin and lunged at Wizardmon.
"Fin Blade!"
Wizardmon used his staff to stop Kappamon's blade and then used the other end to hit the back of Kappamon's feet, causing him to fall to the ground. Wizardmon then raised his staff over his head and prepared to slam it down onto the fallen Kappamon. Alphamon jumped at Wizardmon and tackled him to the ground before he was able to strike Kappamon again with his staff. Wizardmon hit the ground and rolled out of Alphamon's reach. The evil digimon then sprung back on his feet and launched another attack.
"Wizard's Ring!" he cried out as he tossed a ring at Alphamon. The ring expanded, went around Alphamon and then tightened. This paralyzed Alphamon. Wizardmon then charged and swung his golden staff, hitting Alphamon in the head. This caused Alphamon to limply fall to the ground.
"That's enough!" Eric cried. "We have to beat him!"
"No problem!" Auroramon and Siberimon cried out as Auroramon formed two glowing orbs in her hand. Siberimon then ran on the other side of Wizardmon and lunged. Wizardmon easily dodged, but this make him forget about Auroramon.
"Luminous Ball!"
Two orbs were shot towards Wizardmon. He jumped over the first one and used his staff to deflect the second right back at Auroramon. The first ball directly hit Siberimon and the deflected shot connected hit Auroramon. All four of the partner digimon were down.
"What do we do now?" Chloe asked the group.
"It's our turn!" Amanda cried out as she picked up a piece of broken wood.
"No Amanda!" Eric cried out, "We have to retreat!"
However, Eric's words came too late and Amanda was already running towards Wizardmon.
"Not so fast human!" Wizardmon cried out as aimed his staff towards Amanda.
"Thunderball!" Wizardmon launched a ball of light
The ball flew towards Amanda but just before it connected Kaii tried to push her out of the way. A massive light erupted from the connection and when Kaii and Amanda opened their eyes they were no longer in Sukoza city... and they couldn't see Chloe, Eric or any of the digimon.
"Kaii, where are we?" asked Amanda.
"I have no idea..." Kaii trailed off.

'Tuskmon: This champion digimon is extremely dangerous because it will attack first and never ask questions later. It would rather be destroyed than retreat in battle.'
Tuskmon heard the mechanical voice from Amanda's digivice and let out a mighty roar.
"RUN!" Kaii screamed as the two of them frantically ran towards the tower.
Kaii's scream echoed throughout the forest and reached the tower. His voice reached a figure, which was hidden in the shadows and looked like he had been there for ages. The creature heard the scream and his two eyes lit up.
"T.K." It said in a mechanical voice.
Kaii and Amanda ran along the path in the direction of the tower with Tuskmon in hot pursuit.
"We're not going to make it to the tower!" Kaii cried out to Amanda.
"All right, then let's go deeper into the forest, maybe the trees will slow him down!" Amanda replied.

Rocks began to fall from the roof of the cave
"We can't stay here any longer..." Amanda bluntly stated. "We have to get out."
"On the count of three." Kaii nodded.
"One..." "Two..." "THREE!"
Both children didn't move.

"You are" Andromon trailed off as he pointed at Kaii. "You are T.K., the digi-destined of Hope."
"I'm not T.K." Kaii slowly told Andromon. "I'm his son."
"No, you are T.K., follow me." Andromon replied as he walked deeper into the cave.
The two children followed.
"Why didn't you tell us you are the son of a digi-destined!" Amanda whispered to Kaii
"Ummm... I don't know, I just couldn't." Kaii replied.
"Well, where is he?" Amanda protested. "Couldn't he help us with Wizardmon and DarkAngemon?"
"He can't help us." Kaii stated.
"Why not!" Amanda continued. There was now a touch of anger in her voice.
"Because he's gone... and it's my fault." Kaii said quietly as a tear ran down his cheek. Kaii then ran past Andromon and into the darkness.
Amanda stood there in shock at what had just happened. 'What have I done.' She thought to herself.

"I thought I lost you." Kaii said to her.

"Don't you remember?" Lupemon asked.
"Kaii, after you got hit with the blast, we knew we couldn't stay any longer." Solarimon said.
"Somehow we managed to escape." Ribbitomon added.
"Are you all right Kaii?" Tigrimon asked.
"I'm fine, I guess I just need some sleep."
"I think we all do." Eric added with a smile.
"First I have to tell you all something." Kaii told them group. "I had a lot of time to think about this and I have finally decided to tell you all."
"Tell us what?" Amanda asked.
"Are you sure?" Ribbitomon asked Kaii.
"I am." Kaii told his digimon. He then turned to the others. "I know that I haven't told you guys anything about my past... well I'm about to now."
Kaii told the other digi-destined and the digimon all about his father and about his past. While telling the others about his life, Kaii looked around at everybody and noticed that they each had bruises and small cuts on them. Those were the result of trying to escape from Wizardmon. They all went to sleep after Kaii finished. A few hours later Kaii woke Ribbitomon up and Kaii heard what happened. Kaii was furious. Amanda then woke up and went to see if Kaii was actually okay.
"I'm all right." Kaii told her.
"I don't believe it." Amanda replied. "Now what's wrong?"
"Look at everybody, Wizrdmon hurt them. I can't let him get away with it."
"We won't let him." Amanda told him. "But we have to do it as a team."
"I guess you're right." Kaii replied as he smiled at Amanda.
Amanda got up and began to walk away. She then turned around and sat back down next to Kaii.
"I never thanked you for saving me from Harpymon." Amanda said quietly. "And for all the other things you did for me. I owe you my life Kaii. You may not be you're dad, but you're still a hero. Never forget that."
She kissed him on the cheek and then got up and went back to the others. Kaii turned to Ribbitomon.
"Ribbitomon, we're going to destroy Wizardmon. I won't let him harm my friends anymore."
With that the two left camp, the sun was just beginning to rise.
