The Past, The Present, The Future

"So what exactly is our future like?" Yolie asked curiously.
"A very dark place, none of you were strong enough to defeat darkness, not even light." Kai murmured. T.K thought for a momment.
"Fate..." he murmured, "The crest sounds very familiar..." Kari ignored him.
"So how'd we all die?" she asked.
"All the same way, the power of darkness enters and sucks the life out of you"
"So, you're here to end it, right?" Izzy said. Kai nodded.
"Well, when you were in the other room, Kai, and Hope, when you were..." Tai started.
"Why do you call him Hope? You never did in the future." Kai interupted.
"It doesn't matter, as I was saying," Tai went on, "We believe that Hope here is your father am I right?" Kai's eyes widened.
"what makes you say that?" he asked nervously.
"Well, just the fact, you're like him in every way, the way you sleep, the way when you don't talk when eating." Kari said. T.K bolted up.
"Well?" he asked. Kai smiled nervously and nodded.
"Yeah, but I can't say anything about my mother, not yet anyway"
"But you might as well tell us, either way, it's better out early than later, or one of us may die in the attempt, and you may not even exist." Mimi said. Kai looked nervously at all of them. They were sitting at Matt's living room. He took a deep breath.
"I could tell you some things about the future..." he said. "But it's risky, the only thing I can say is that...Tai...Sora, you have a daughter and son"
"No really, I know I'm having a son, I'm pregnant!" Sora said sarcastically. Kai looked to the ground.
"What is it?" Joe asked.
"It's nearly time..."

"We can't let him tell anymore Takeru!" Niki said. "Especially who's his parents is"
"Do you think I'm aware of that?" Takeru asked. "I know if he tells, he'll effect the future, badly"
"What do we do?" Kay asked.
"Let him tell, he has no choice." Chris said boredly from the corner, "Eventually, they'll find out"
"Chris has a point..." murmured Mark.
"Let's hope for the best than." Yuri said.

"What do you mean by that?" Matt asked.
"She's about to come." Kai said.
"Who?" Tai said.
"The woman that ended my parents marriage." Kai said.
"I repeat, who is this person?" repeated Tai.
"Madeline"
"Madeline?" T.K asked. Kai nodded.
"She's Hope's ex." Mimi murmured.
"Well, we know one thing, T.K's your father!" Kari announced.
"Eh... what if he's not, what if it's someone who know her?" Kai said nervously.
"One thing, buddy," Davis said, "That lady would only, and only be with Hope"
"But..." Kai started. They all looked at T.K.
"Well, spill about her, would she do such thing?" Ken said.

"Takeru, I don't want you going there anymore!" The Guardian's wife said.
"Look, Madeline, this is part of my life, I have to protect them." Takeru said.
"What about Christooher? There's two of you, we could move away." Madeline said. Across the street two people had caught his attention...

"You sure about this Hikari?" her friend asked.
"I'm sure Yamato. I think we should all do it, not just me." she murmured.
"I agree with you, but what would he think?" he asked.
"It is none of his concern. This is our life, not his." Hikari said. "I know he's your brother, but there's nothing he can do to stop us. We have to do it." Yamato smiled at her and nodded.
"I'll let the others know." he walked of in another direction. Hikari took a deep breath and fished out her crest. She gave it one good long stare.
"Well..." she murmured, "We're about to make it happen."

"Takeru?" Madeline called out to her husband, who was dazed. She followed his stare to a woman across the street. "Takeru"
"Hm?" he looked at her, she had seemed angry, "I'm sorry, I uh"
"Was looking at her again, look... do you love me?" she asked.
"Ofcourse I do." he said, nervously. She smiled at him, took his hand and walked home...

"So why'd you marry her? If you loved someone else?" Yolie asked.
"She was engaged than. I wanted her to be happy." T.K replied.
"Her marriage didn't last long?" Davis said.
"Yeah, but by than, I was already with her." T.K said. He looked over at Kari who was seated near her brother.
"And you never saw her again?" Cody asked.
"No, they all went into battle, and she died." he said, "I never forgave myself, I was there during the hole thing, but I didn't do anything"
"Why?" Kai asked.
"something in me was telling...forcing me to let them go. It was their life. But I should have been there to help them." T.K said, sadly.
"What does this have to do with us?" Kari asked.
"The profecy is about to happen again, and history is about to repeat it's self." T.K murmured.
"History that you're married to Madeline?" Sora asked.
"No. History of the fall of the Legendary Destined, we all stand aside. I made a mistake once, I'm not about to make it again."

"Isn't there anything we can do?" Tim asked.
"I'm afraid there isn't." Mark said.
"There has to be! If onething changes, it'll effect our time!" Takeru exploded, "My son is in the past undoing evil, and there's nothing we can do"
"We knew what was going to happen Takeru." Kelly said, "We knew what would happen, but we had no choice"
"Kari's dead because of me, I don't want to loose him, his all I have left." Takeru said,
flopping himself down to the floor.
"We know Takeru...we know." Chris said, sympathicly.

Kari walked down the steets. She walked by a familar park, she remembered walking seating there, for the meetings the Legendary Destined held, when they were younger. Those days seems long ago. She saw someone...a figure...a man seated on the swings.
'Kai?' she thought, as she walked towards the figure.

Sure he maybe like his father in everyway, looked like him as well, but had his mothers brown eyes. He slept peacefully in the room, not a sound around him.

As Kari got closer to the swings, the figure became clearer. She quickly turn around, but it was too late he saw her.
"You can't keep running Kari." he said. She slowly turned around.
"What makes you think that?" she asked.
"Avoiding me, everyday." he said.
"You know very well why, Hope." Kari said, hotly.
"I know you're angry at me, but you've got to put it behind you." T.K said. Kari frowned and turned around and walked off.
"And there are somethings you can't!" she said loudly.

The following day, everyone met once again t Matt's house, as T.K and Kai, told the story of the past and the future.
"So everything was meant to happen?" Kari said.
"Yeah, the death, the heartache"
"The divorce of your parents?" Tai said.
"I'm not sure, it probaly was." Kai said.
"I'm guessing it was, she died out of anger, to end it didn't she?" Izzy asked.
"Yeah, I guess you're right"
"Look, I know the reason you're here is to end the foretold war, but what's the real reason you're here." Kari said. Kai sighed.
"I already told you, I can't say till she's arrived"
"Who's she?" Davis asked.
"I can't say"
"But if you're here to help, we should at least know, than we're prepared." Cody said.
"I'm sorry, but I can't say"
"Than how are you meant to help us, if you're not telling us what's going on!" Tai exploded.
"Nothing I can say will do anything, you'll have to find out soon"
"How soon?" Yolie asked.
"A lot sooner than you think..."

"Agumon digivolve to... WarGreymon"
"Gatmon digivolve to... Angewomon"
"Gomamon digivolve to... Ikakumon"
"Tentomon digivolve to... Kabuterimon"
"Palmon digivolve to... Togemon"
"Biyomon digivolve to... Birdramon"
"Gabumon digivolve to... Garurumon!" Everyone...their digimon digivolved. They stood ready to fight.
"Let's go!" Taichi shouted, as their digimon ran out, to battle. The Destined stood and watched.
"No!" A voice behind them shouted. They turned around to see Takeru.
"What are you doing here, Takeru?" Hikari asked hotly.
"You can't do this, you all will die!" Takeru said.
"Than we'll die with honor!" Yamato smirked.
"You were never meant to fight this." Takeru said.
"Well you're too late to stop us." Hikari said. She turned to face her digimon. "Do it now,
Angewomon"
"Celestial Arrow!" it hit one of the dark digimon, but before it disintigrated, a dark attack flew past and hit Hikari.
"Hikari!" Taichi yelled out. Hikari's eyes were wide shocked, as she collasped to the ground with a loud thump.
"Hikari!" Taichi shouted again, as he ran to his sisters side.
"This was never meant to happen." Takeru said, trying to stay strong. "MagnaAngemon." he said to the digimon behind him. "Finish it"
"Gate of Destiny!" All the dark digimon disintigrated. Everyone crowded around Hikari.
Takeru stood away. He murmured something, before he walked away, with Patamon flying by his side.
"May she rest in peace." Taichi said, as he left the body in the Digital World...

"If that's how she died, surely in the future, it's the same." Kari said.
"But they weren't meant to go there, not alone." T.K said.
"They weren't alone. They had each other." Matt said.
"Look Hope, if you're saying I'm running away from things, you are." Kari said. "Running away from us. You're the one that's running not me." Tai looked at Kari curiously.
"What do you mean?" Davis asked.
"Last night, I saw him by the swings. He said, that I was running away from things." Kari explained, "But think about it, he's the one that's running away from us, and only just recently did he try to approach it"
"You have a point." Izzy said. Kai looked at everyone.

"Let's do our best till he is done." Mark said.
"Right." they all said, as they ran out to the fields, ready. They were ready to fight till the end. The Digi Destined around the world came to help, in honour of the Legendery Destined of Japan.
"Let's do it!" Catherine shouted, as everyone's digimon ran. Ran to fight the enemy they feared. The enemy...

"Myotismon..." Kai breathed. Everyone looked at him.
"What did you say?" T.K asked.
"Myotismon is behind this. He sent out her to end it. He's the reason my mother's dead"
"Myotismon?" Tai asked, "Didn't you guys"
"Yeah." Ken nodded, "Someone must've brought him back, but who"
"Devimon." T.K said.
"Devimon?" Davis asked.
"It has to be." Kari said, looked at Tai.
"You're right, he's the only one who remained 'loyal' to him." Tai nodded.
"Well, we probaly still have time to stop him." Mimi said.
"You can't." T.K said, "No matter how much I agree with you, you have to fight the foretold profecy, or it'll happen over and over again"
"What do you mean?" Kari asked.
"In the past, the same thing happen, but I wasn't there to stop them. They tried to stop him but wasn't succesful. Devimon was able to bring him back, with"
"With what?" Yolie asked.
"The Key."

"It's your fault Takeru!" Taichi exploded, ready to throw a punch at the Guardian.
"How is it my fault? You all went out to fight"
"You should've left us, ever since she found out." Taichi went on.
"I did, but I had buisness to attend with her. She's the key, and I've sworn with my life that'll I'll protect her." Takeru said, calmly.
"But you didn't. Now the world is covered in darkness, because of you. Christopher could've done a better job." Taichi said.
"What did you say?" Takeru asked sharply.
"Christopher could've done a better job." Taichi snarled.
"Stop it!" Yamato yelled out, standing between the two men. "Takeru, like Taichi said, you should've left when she found out. Taichi, we have to do our best to stop it. At least for a while till the next generation of Destined is ready to fight like us"
"Right." everyone nodded.

Kari looked to the ground.
"So he blamed you?" Tai asked.
"More or less, it was your past Tai." T.K said.
"You damn right I'd blame you!" Tai said.
"And I don't blame you." T.K said calmly, "But what Yamato said, if know one is strong enough, you have to leave them the same message they left you"
"You mean the profecy is by them... our past?" Kari asked.
"Yes, but this time, you have something they didn't have." T.K said.
"What's that?" Sora asked.
"Them." he said, meaning to Davis, Yolie, Ken and Cody. "Together, everyone. All of you are strong enough to end him once and for all."

She walked down the cold empty streets of Obida. If she didn't make it what was going to happen? But the thing buzzing in her mind was about her past life with Hope.
'Do I still love him?' she thought to herself. She didn't know anymore. At first she was possitive she wasn't. But now, she wasn't sure at all. She walked into her house, to her room and fell asleep...

It was a dark cave. She stood alone.
"Is anyone there?" she called out. There was no reply. A figure appeared in front of her.
"Hello?" she called out again. She found herself face to face with him. He leaned foward...

She woke up, gasping.
"Hope!" she said. She looked around the room. "It's just a dream... just a dream..."

He watched her from down below, as the lights went on. He sighed. He gave a small smile,
turned around and walked away...

She walked out to the balcony. She saw a figure walking somewhere. The figure seem familiar,
but from where? Thousands of names poped into her mined. She suddenly knew who.
