Nevertheless, not to let any one else out I also want to thank all the readers who stumbled onto my story and spent their time reading. Thank you. Remember the first half is the same as last chapter it's marked where the alt part is added.

Final Weather Fact: In middle latitudes where storms travel from west to east, rainbows are usually seen when a storm is over.

Weather myth: There is no such thing as a third arc of a rainbow.

False: they are extremely rare and the third arc rises vertically from the base of the primary rainbow. Only three photographs are known to exist.

Chasing the Perfect Storm:

The Inconceivable F6

By FocusR.

Ch.10 Chasing the Perfect Storm (Alt. Ending 2)

As a sigh of relief came over TK's face. "O Kari," he said as he embraced Kari, "I promise you, I'll never let go as long as you're by my side, Kari." He whispered in her ear while small tears ran form his eyes.

"Please don't cry TK it causes me to do it to." Kari said back while she wiped some of the tears from TK's eyes. Suddenly from out of know where a loud crash exploded from behind. Turning around, a large chunk of the concrete underpass, they stopped under a few miles back, crumbled into a loose pile of gravel. Then turning in the direction of the encroaching F6 cyclone it was gaining strength and speed as it raged through the helpless city in their direction.

"Come on I know a short cut." TK yelled as he grabbed Kari's hand and began running down the street. As they ran, TK ducked down into a small dark ally. "This should connect with 125th." TK said as he continued running with Kari still gripping his hand firmly.

Glancing back briefly both of them saw the Digimon were beginning to fall behind from the heavy camera equipment they were carrying. Stopping for a few fleeting moments, they let Patamon and Gatomon catch up. Once Patamon and Gatomon reached their human partners, TK and Kari picked them up. "OK we don't have much time that F6 is moving faster than any of us would expect." TK panted as they continued through the downcast ally. "We're almost there just a little more come on we can…" Suddenly loud cracks and a low rumble began filling the ally louder than the roar of the convoy of freight trains. Looking up near the exit of the ally, parts of one of the building began collapse from the intense winds. Slowly starting with small chunks and blocks turned into half of the brick wall tumbling down into the small ally, impeding their only escape path. Stopping instantly once they reached the wall of rubble, all of them momentarily turned around looking back where they came from. Objects and other debris flew by the entrance on 124th Street. Turning back around TK shouted, "We have to go over it, it's the only way out," while his voice became drown out by the blasting roar of the tornado.

Slowly as they began to ascend the pile of rubble, every step taken broke the loose rubble and shot them back down to the ground. "TK see if you can boost the Digimon up to the top of rubble and maybe they can find something to throw down so we can get up." Kari shouted desperately as she gasped for air.

As TK reached down for Gatomon, she quickly took off bounding up the slop of the rubble, while Patamon flew up over it. Waiting for their Digimon, TK glanced up to the sky for a few fleeting moment. "Kari, look!" He shouted and pointed as a small glimmer of blue sky and the sun peaked through the turbulent overcast clouds.

"Looks like hope can still shine though even one of the darkest hours." Kari said as she looked up at small patch of blue sky and sun.

Just then, the end of a small rope flew down by their feet. "Grab on!" Patamon shouted as he and Gatomon finished tying it to a large beam.

Grabbing the rope on one end, TK helped Kari get a firm grip on to the rope. As they began scaling the pile of loose rubble, the soft pitter-patter of rain on the roofs of the building started to come harder and harder until it was a loud driving downpour. "Hang on Kari we're almost there." TK shouted through the lashing rain.

As Kari was taking a step just feet away from the top of the pile, rubble started to give way. "TK!" Kari shouted as she started sliding down the pile.

Quickly reaching for Kari, TK barely snatched her hand before she tumbled back down. "I told you I wouldn't let go." TK said as a smile grew on his and Kari's face. "Come on were just about there." TK continued as he pulled Kari back up.

Finally reaching the top of the pile, they rushed back down the other side. Carrying their Digimon in their arms TK led them onto 125th Street. Cars and buses sprayed water as they all went zooming pass in both directions. Holding his arm out in front of him so he could see through the rain TK saw a cab driving in their direction. Then waving his other arm the cab slammed on its breaks. A piercing squeal filled the turbulent air as the cab slid by them, finally coming to a stop fifty feet past them. As they started running towards the cab, the rain just stopped. Glancing back for a moment, TK watched as the mega F6 cyclone started back in their direction.

"It's our only chance." Kari yelled as they all rushed in the direction of the stopped cab. While they ran, chunks of debris began flying in their direction. Reaching the door of the cab it swung open forcefully from the prevailing winds. After piling into the leather back seats, TK and Kari both yanked hard on the door until it finally began to close.

"Where to?" the cabby said as they slammed the door and crashed to the other side.

As water dripped from TK's hat and Kari's hair, "JUST DRIVE," they shouted in unison, panting heavily.

"OK, hold on." The cabby said as he hammered on to the gas of the cab. Flinging all of them deep into the leather seats the rear-wheel drive car tore off as it skidded on the water-covered roads.

Once getting use to the high speed, Kari and TK sat up in the cozy seats. Their Digimon were laid out drained, as their adrenaline rush had dissipated while the storm continued to strengthen. Then reaching down Kari picked up her SLR camera. "You brought the cameras, but left your laptop?" Kari asked TK as she turned on the camera.

"Those have some footage on them that is more important than the laptop." TK said as he moved right next to Kari.

Then as the pictures came up Kari began flipping threw them. The more she looked at the photos on the small 2-inch LCD screen, the more she was awe stuck by the images of the three cyclones merging into one. "I… I can't believe you captured these." Kari stuttered as she set the camera down in her lap. Then tuning to TK, she gave him a surprising hug and romantic kiss.

"I'm sorry to break up the moment for you two, but… buckle up… it's going to be a bump ride." The cabby calmly said as large chunks of debris and other material began falling in front of them.

Glancing out the rear window TK watched as the F6 cyclone continued to grow and fling objects out in all directions. The base of the cyclone stretched far beyond the view of one side to the other of the rear window. "We need to get out of here NOW! There's no way that any of us can out run that cyclone," he said to Kari as they began to pass a large mall. "Driver, pull over to the mall." TK shouted as he pulled a small wad of cash in his wallet, that he kept for emergency purposes. Looking at the meter as they quickly approached the covered entrance he pulled out $35 dollars. Tossing the small wad of bills to the driver, he shouted. "Keep the change," as they all rushed out with both the camera and camcorder. Just as they exited the cab, the driver sped off spraying water everywhere.

Running inside, the mall was dark except for the few skylights that let in every glaring flash of lighting. As they continued around the mall, it was completely vacant. Not a single soul was wondering around. The few sounds that echoed daunting through the empty halls were constant rumblings of thunder, a wailing screech of a distant siren, rage of a freight trains and the pitter-pattering of TK's and Kari's soaked shoes on the cold concrete floors. Running into the main area where skylights completely covered the ceiling, the lighting flickered relentlessly lighting the whole area as if a giant strobe light was installed.

Suddenly from out of nowhere a voice shouted, "Hey you two… hey over here!"

Stopping in mid step by a glass fountain, both of them turned in the direction of the mysterious voice. "Where are you?" TK yelled back to the voice, as he tried to scan through the dimly lit halls.

"Turn to your left, were down the severe weather hallway." The voice shouted again this time with a little more demanding tone. As they began running in the direction of the voice, the shrilling sound of metal twisting as it gave way against the furious grip of the cyclone echoed from the west side of the mall.

Racing as fast as they could they finally reached the lighted severe weather hallway. Looking down the hallway it was lined with people who were sitting along the cold stone yellow walls and crying; scared of the wild and unnatural weather raging ramped just outside.

Glancing down at Patamon, TK saw that he wasn't holding the camcorder. "Where's the camcorder?" TK exclaimed as he franticly looked around for it. After a few moments, TK shouted, "I see it!" On the ground, back by the fountain the camcorder laid as it appeared then vanished with every passing flash. Starting back off in the direction of it, TK set Patamon back on the ground.

"Leave it!" Kari shouted as she grabbed TK's arm before he could go any further.

"I'm sorry Kari, I have to go back. The video on it is too important to lose…"

"I'm coming with you." Kari said as she moved her hands down to his hand.

"Stay here, it's too dangerous." TK said as he tried to jerk his arm free.

Suddenly tears started to form around Kari's eyes. "Don't you remember…?"

"Remember…?" TK said turning to Kari, as he let up on jerking free.

"You promised that you wouldn't let go of me, I don't want the… the chance of loosing you again." Kari replied as she raised TK's hand up to her chest.

"OK, let's go." TK said as he squeezed Kari's hand while a subtle smile appeared on his face.

"Are you two nuts that ceiling is only made of glass. If you two go out there it's… you're committing suicide." A security guard shouted as he began running towards them.

"Don't, we know what we're doing; the video in that camcorder is invaluable to us." TK shouted back as they started running. Making their way out into the open area the roar of a freight train boomed through the halls along with piercing cries of the helpless building as it was being ripped apart. Getting to the camcorder, TK reached down and snatched it as a vivid flash of lighting exploded thought the glass while striking the glass fountain. A loud explosion like a bomb detonating blasted from behind them. The strength of the blast alone knocked them from there feet and threw them twenty feet away from the destroyed fountain. Still hanging onto Kari, TK landed hard onto the concrete floor, while Kari landed on top of him. "O SHIT!" TK yelled as the glass ceiling began to crack wildly clear across then shattering into millions of razor sharp shards. Suddenly glass began raining down along with muskmelon-size hail chunks.

Scurrying to their feet TK ran side by side with Kari as they raced back to the severe weather hallway. Never turning around a loud deafening roar began howling from behind them. "The F6!" Kari yelled to TK as small chunks of glass began pelting them.

"We're just about…"


"TK!" Kari shouted as she started slipping backwards from the wrenching grip of the cyclone. Still holding on firmly to Kari's hand, TK could begin to feel a tug of him being sucked towards the vortex of the cyclone.

"Hang… on, Kari," TK shouted to her as he desperately tired to reach for a light post that was inches from his grip. As he continued to reach, he glanced briefly behind him, when a strong yank pulled on his arm.

"TK… HELP!" Kari shouted as she began being lifted off her feet.

Struggling to reach the light post TK felt a strong tug on his white hat then with a hard gust the hat tore off into the cyclone. Suddenly the camcorder around his neck began to flap wildly while it was being yanked forcefully towards the cyclone. "I… don't… think… I… can… make… it." TK yelled as he felt his wet shoes starting to slip backward

Breaking loose from the people holding them, Patamon and Gatomon raced over to the light pole. While Gatomon sank her claws into the metal light post, she grabbed onto Patamon's stubby tail as he flew close by TK. "Grab on" Patamon squeaked while trying to keep tears from running down his eyes by the horrendous pain from his tail.

Making a desperate attempt for one last shot before being pulled into the dark vortex, TK lunged for Patamon's small paw. Right as TK grasped Patamon's paw, the roaring beast opened up and acquired even more strength. Debris began flying around in the huge open area. Carts that were parked all over began to break loose from there secured bases then raced into the vortex. Pulling Patamon, TK, and Kari with all her strength Gatomon felt every claw in the post begin to slip. A painful whimper from Patamon began to push Gatomon over the top. The thought of her best friend going through this was becoming too much to handle anymore. Readjusting her claws a little, she pulled with every ounce of strength in her cat body. When it felt like every ounce of strength was drained from her small body "Got it!" TK yelled as he wrapped his arm around the light post. Then pulling Kari in towards him, he lightened his grip on Patamon's paw.

"Gatomon!" Patamon shouted as the cat Digimon started to slide off the pole and towards the cyclone. Breaking free of TK's grip, he jumped down and caught Gatomon before she was taken. Slowly dragging against the powerful suction of the vortex, he pulled her back to the pole. As soon as Patamon reached the pole, a loud bang exploded as a familiar truck landed violent down between them and the cyclone. Just enough, the truck created a shield from the fierce suction of the F6. With a thump, Kari landed back on the ground then quickly climbed to her feet, her shoes torn off by the violent winds. "After being struck by lighting it still has a good use." Patamon remarked as he began taking off in the direction of the severe weather hallway carrying Gatomon on his back. Following him, TK still held onto Kari's hand as they rushed towards the hallway.

Running inside TK pulled the camcorder off from around his neck as his blond hair stuck in all different directions. Before they shut the seven-inch metal door TK poked the camcorder out. As he started to record, the F6 cyclone continued to creep towards the totaled truck. With a few jerks, the truck began to move. Slowly it slid, grinding its metal rims on the concrete floor. With out warning the truck ascended into the air and back into the cyclone. "OK we're shutting this door, your scaring everyone in here." The security guard said as he pulled TK back into the hallway. With a few other men, the guard slowly shut the giant steal door. With one final bang, the lock was sealed.

Walking over to Kari and the Digimon he placed the camcorder back around his neck. The booming echo of the freight trains tore through the hallway as even more people started crying and praying. Putting his hand against the wall, the reverberations of the fierce swirling winds began to tremble the engineered severe weather hallway. Looking down at Patamon and Gatomon, TK then knelt down by them. "How is Gatomon doing?" TK softly asked Kari as he looked at the fatigued Digimon who were laying along side each other, as Gatomon had her arm around Patamon.

"They're just exhausted." Kari said as she leaned up against the cold yellow wall. Then sighing she turned back to TK. "I'm sorry TK, I didn't mean for today to end up like this." Kari said while she adjusted to a more comfortable position and looked at TK in his soaked cloths.

"What do you mean?" TK asked as he moved over by her.

"I never expected for this storm to create all the challenges we've had to face. Like you getting injured at the theater, then getting struck by lighting and finally…"

"Kari, don't be." TK said cutting her off in mid sentence. Then putting his arm gently around her he pulled her close. "If it wasn't for you and inviting me to the theater we wouldn't have had the chance to ever experience this together. I would probably at the station just looking at radar image after radar image and never seeing it first hand. You would probably still in with the rest of the gang chasing it for eternity. So what if we've had some challenges. We've faced them and look where we are, together in each other arms. The perfect storm outside and sitting next to the perfect girl, I don't know of a better place to be right now." TK said as he gave Kari a kiss.

"All clear!" the security guard shouted as they opened the giant steal door fifteen minutes later. White light began to pour into the hall as people ran swiftly into what was left of the mall.

Finishing their kiss TK helped Kari up then taking off his shoes he handed them to Kari. "You might want these." TK said as he gave them to her. Then slipping them on over her feet, they fit incredibly loosely.

"Thanks." Kari said as she chuckled by the big difference in the size of her feet to the shoes.

Then bending down TK picked up the tired Digimon who were still in each other's arms.

"Uh, what's happening?" Patamon and Gatomon said as they slowly opened their eyes.

"Nothing, the storms are passed." TK said as they all walked out into the open air. Looking around the only thing left standing was the severe weather hallway. A three-mile wide path of destruction stretched for as far as the eye could see. Walking further into desolate wasteland of what use to be a giant mall an azure blue and mud covered truck cab sat right side up in the distance. Running to the truck cab a tattered white bucket hat was flying on the antenna. "My hat!" TK shouted as he plucked it from the antenna. Then as they looked into the cab TK's laptop was still sitting where it last place when they ran from the truck. On and picking up a signal, it showed radar of what little was left of the perfect storm. Reaching in back Kari pulled out her cell phone, which finally had a signal.

Dialing Tai, he answered instantly. "Kari?"

"Hey Tai you wouldn't believe what we just went through." Kari said as TK wrapped his arm her while two complete double rainbows stretched trough the crystal blue sky.

"Kari, look!" TK said as a third arc rose through the double rainbows from the primary rainbow. "Only very few and lucky people ever see those"

Taking her camera Kari shot the extraordinarily scarce triple rainbow as she dropped the cell phone on the ground leaving Tai yelling. "TK get in front of it." Kari said as she placed the camera on the truck hood.

Running as fast as he could, TK carried the Digimon in his arms as he lined up with the camera. With a few small quick adjustments, Kari ran next to TK. Putting her arms around him, TK said "I love you Kari," as the shutter went off along with one final flash.
It is over (happy & sad face) Thank you for reading my last chapter in Chasing the Perfect Storm. I had a blast writing and doing all the research it took to make this a reality. Now it is your, turn tell me what you think of the alt chapters, which ones better or are they both good and what do you think about the story. Speak your mind it's just a mouse click away. Before my story goes down and disappears like all the other many brilliant stories on I would like to thank everyone who took the time and found this one to read.

Author Notes: There is a sequel to CTPS so check my profile for more info. For me, I'm at College so there might not be any updates for a while. (Major Meteorology ;-D if you couldn't guess.) One last word if I may, stay safe when it comes to violent weather and take precautions, storms are nothing to mess around with. 2005 was one year that will go down as one of the most memeral with 3 severe Catagory 5 Hurricanes, (Katrina, Rita, Wilma) and the most named in one season (23) . In addition, leave the storm chasing to the meteorologists and certified chasers.

Thanks again,

This is FocusR. with Chasing The Perfect Storm, Good Night.
