Chapter 8

She sighs as her parents get home. Tai and her have been packing, mostly food and some bottled water. She decides to unpack a few things from her brother's bag. She then adds some medication and some Band-Aids.

She finishes this and looks over to where her partner was standing watch. "Is he busy?" She asks her partner in a whisper when she gets close to the door. "He's on the phone, talking to Sora, I think." Gatomon answers. She sighs and turns to glances at Agumon. "Will you tell on me?" She asks her brother's partner. "No, I promise." Agumon says. She smiles in relief and then opens the door a bit wider so she can get out of the room.

She then makes her way to the couch and sits to her father's right. Either of her parents notices that she's in the room. Her mother is busy making supper and her dad is busy watching TV. She turns when she hears Tai hang up the phone. Tai soon joins their dad and her in front of the TV. It looks to be a quiet night.

(-------------------------------------Revmon---------------------------------------)

They finish dropping TK and Patamon off at the apartment. They are back at Matt's and Jager's busy on his laptop computer. It seems that Gennai has found a apartment for them to live at. It's close to the school where the second group of Digidestine will be attending.

Gennai is also arranging for it to have the important things, like couches, big screen TV, fridge and freezer, dishwasher, bed, and etc., you know, the usual household items. He can now have his own bedroom like he used to back in their original timeline.

He sighs wistfully and Gabumon then asks, "What are you thinking about?" "My own room." He answers. "So you guys have your own place now?" Gabumon asks. He grins and says, "Sounds like it. Gennai is even getting it prepared for us. I can't wait to sleep on my own bed with my own sheets. I can even decorate the room as I see fit. I plan on having my own CD player and some CD that I like." Gabumon asks, "CD player? Are they expensive?" "They get more common in a few years, but what I really want is a MP3 player. I then download song off the Internet and have my favourite songs on the MP3 so that I can listen to them anytime I want." He tells Gabumon. "It's nice to know that you have this all planned out." Gabumon says.

Jager then looks over at them and asks, "So, has Revmon told you about his plans for World domination?" He rolls his eyes; he remembers that last time they played this game. Gabumon looks confused, "…" He then says, "You're confusing Gabumon. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if you'll ever grow up." He throws up his hand in mock defeat. "This coming from a guy that wants to decorate his room in a jungle theme? With heavy stuff toys?" Jager asks. He growls and glares at his partner. This just causes Jager to chuckle and he then retorts, "Your no better, you plan on just keeping it down to the bare necessities. Like that's any fun, it's just plain, boring and dull!" Jager just grins and then returns to doing whatever on his computer.

Then Jager says, "Finished. You want to play something? You sound bored." He perks at that and says, "You still have Bejeweled?" "Both versions, though I now have the highest scores though." Jager says. He growls and sits down in front of the computer. "We'll see about that!" He says and begins a game with version number one. He'll show Jager that he's that champ for good reason. He hears and smells Gabumon sit behind him on a chair. He then explains the game to the other Digimon. He even lets Gabumon play a few games. They only get off the computer when Matt and Jager were getting ready for bed and they both begin to get tired. They most likely have a really busy day tomorrow. If his right, then tomorrow is the last day that Myotismon is actually alive.

(----------------------------------------TK------------------------------------------)

He remembers yesterday and he begins to swim towards the sky. He might not be use to the weight on his back, but it doesn't matter. He didn't want to worry Joe; he soon breaks the surface and is really thankful for the lessons that Jager gave him.

He hears the flapping of wings and see MegaSeadramon fighting with Ikkakumon. He doesn't need to look up to know that Patamon is hovering over him. He then swims towards where Joe is. He focuses on swimming, not on how heavy his pack feels or about how mad his mom would be if she saw him like this. He just focuses on making his way towards where Joe is.

He makes it and then begins to keep himself afloat. "Grab a hold, TK!" Joe says. He shakes his head, saying, "You need it more Joe. It looks like Ikkakumon needs help though!" Joe turns to look at the battle between his own partner, Ikkakumon and the ultimate level Digimon. Ikkakumon is tosses through the air and lands with a large splash that creates big waves. Making it harder for him to stay afloat, Joe almost gets knocked off the piece of driftwood.

Then Joe's crest begins to glow and Ikkakumon begins to glow. Soon Joe's partner becomes Zudomon. The first thing that Zudomon does is picks them both out of the water. He says, "Thanks Zudomon!" "Mmmm." Is Zudomon's answer. Then Zudomon uses his horn to deflect an attack from MegaSeadramon. Then Zudomon uses his hammer and cries, "Vulcan's Hammer!" The hammer strikes the see dragon and MegaSeadramon is deleted.

They then see something shiny and Zudomon swims towards the object. He feels Patamon's weight on his head as Joe pulls Wizardmon out of the water and onto Zudomon's hand. He notices a tag and crest in Wizardmon's left fist. "Hey that must be Kari's tag and crest!" He says. "Yes it is. I was able to get it before getting tossed into the river. It took a while for me to get close enough to get it, but it's worth it." Wizardmon says. "I think you need to rest, Wizardmon. You look exhausted." Joe says. He agreed and suddenly the crest glows and the light creates an opening through the fog. They then head for the opening, they hope they're not too late.

(-------------------------------------Revmon---------------------------------------)

He just snorts as he watches a group of Digimon scout around. He narrows his eyes on the leader, Phantomon. He keeps an eye on that one, for if he remembers correctly, it was Phantomon that took Kari away from Matt and Sora before they could reach them.

He hears can't make out just what the others were talking about, but knew that it has something to do with what Myotismon. They didn't know just where Izzy was, only that Sora and Mimi got captured but Sora escaped with a sick Lillymon with Birdramon carrying them away from the base that the ultimate is using to hold the humans.

He turns and looks at Gatomon. "Anything?" The cat Digimon asks. "Not much. Itching for a fight?" He asks. Gatomon stiffens and looks towards the direction of the place where the humans are being held. "Kari is beginning to have doubts." Gatomon states. He sighs and asks, "Has Jager talked to her?" "Not yet. Matt and Tai have been chatting with him." Gatomon answers. He sighs and asks, "Did you want me to talk to her?" "I'll keep look out." Was Gatomon's answer.

He leaps down towards the others. He listens to Matt asks, "… so you really thing they'll show?" Tai looks confident and nods his head. His partner turns to look to where Sora is attending to Lillymon.

He then turns to look at where Kari sitting. He walks towards the eight year old. When he gets close enough, he asks, "Gatomon's worried about you." Kari looks at him and then says, "This whole thing is my fault. If I just step forward, then the fighting will stop." He sits and shakes his head slowly. "You can't stop someone who's determined to fight. You could give into their demands, but that wouldn't stop them from demanding more. If anyone is to blame for all the deletions, it's Myotismon." He tells Kari. "You mean that?" Kari asks. He nods his head, adding, "Just remember to believe in yourself and in your friends for the group will try and be there for each other." Kari looks thoughtful and then asks, "I felt odd when we were fleeing. Like something just flowed through me…"

He looks thoughtful and then answers, "I believe you. Just try not to think depressing thoughts? You're too young to worry so much!" Kari grins and nods. "I'll try not to worry so much. Also, thank you Revmon." Kari says. He ruffles the girl's brown hair before getting up. He then heads back to where Gatomon is keeping look out. He knows that Gatomon's worried about Kari and that she'll want to hear about what happened between Kari and him.

(--------------------------------------Jager------------------------------------------)

He turns away from the group entering the building. He motions to Revmon to also drop back. He then turns away and heads for Matt's apartment building, he has to get Matt's pack and maybe head over to Tai's place to get Tai and Kari's packs too.

He knows that they'll be fine without him or Revmon. As they walk away Revmon asks, "You think we have time to eat something before we leave the apartment? We'll be needing our strength for when we run into the Dark Masters." He snorts and says, "Might as well, but it'll have to be a snack. The faster we get the packs, the sooner we can watch the end of the battle." "Ok." Revmon answers. They then walk in silence to Matt's apartment, he had told Matt and Joe where he'd be during the battle. He didn't want to be their crutch.

(----------------------------------------Kari-----------------------------------------)

She just stares at the huge Digimon. It's passed the hour of the Beast and Myotismon is back and bigger then ever. They had all looked around for Jager and Revmon, but according to Matt and Joe, Jager went to get Matt's, Tai's, and her's packs. In the end, they figured that it shows that Jager has confidences in their ability to defeat the mega Digimon.

They have gotten E-mail from Gennai about away to defeat VenomMyotismon, but they were unsure on just what the details are though. She still hopes that whatever plan Gatomon has come up with will work, for they had many lives depending on them. Including her parents, Mimi's parents, and Sora's mom.

She yells out, "You can do it Angewomon! I believe in you!" Then TK yells, "I believe you both can do this!" She glances at the blond kid and they share a look and then return to watching the battle. She knows that Agumon and Gabumon somehow get the ability to become mega level Digimon.

Then Izzy says, "Kari! TK! Get you're partners to shoot Tai and Matt with arrow made out of Hope and Light!" She looks stunned and then turns to look at her older brother. "I'll be fine! You just have to have faith!" Tai says. Matt just nods in agreement.

"One miracle coming up." Angemon states. In Angemon's hand light shapes itself into an arrow. In her partner's hand an arrow made of light also appeared. Then both angel Digimon shot at TK's and her's older brothers. As they all watch both Agumon and Gabumon begin to glow and they then shout out, "Agumon Warp Digivolve to … WarGreymon!" "Gabumon Warp Digivolve to … MetalGarurumon!"

They all just stared at the two new mega level Digimon. She smiles as realises that this battle isn't over yet. Both mega level Digimon then charge VenomMyotismon.
