Kari looked down at her digivice and then back up to her surroundings in vain. She kept pressing buttons not knowing what she was doing. It took her a minute before she finally admitted she was lost. She plopped herself onto the ground with disappointment. She took a breather while trying to figure out where she was.
The day was hot and her face was covered in sweat. She took her arm and wiped the sweat off of her forehead as she sat there resting. She wished she had a bottle of water to drink right now. Her throat was dry and she could barely speak. Kari's voice was coarse.
She looked towards the direction she was heading and noticed something in the distance. She slowly got up and dragged herself towards that direction. When she finally made it, she was hoping that there was something there in the town to help her. But then she became saddened when she saw that the town was in ruins.
She began hopelessly to walk around the rubble trying to find anything that she could use to help her. It was then that she looked up and saw a house sitting on top of a hill.
She thought maybe she could get help from there as she wearily began the hated hill climb. With every step that she took, she could feel her legs grow tired. When she finally reached the door, she rapidly knocked on the door. She sat down on the doorstep catching her breath as she stood there waiting for the door to open. After several minutes of waiting, she knocked once more only to find that it slowly opened upon touching it.
She peeked inside to see if there was anyone in the house before she went in. As she took one step into the house, a cold chill ran up her spine as she started to get nervous. She took another step into the house and tried to look around in the poorly lit house. As she took another step forward, the door behind her suddenly closed with a loud bang. This caused her to scream loudly. Unable to see she took out her digivice and pressed a button which turned on a mini flashlight.
"Darkangemon appear before me." A breeze blew by as darkangemon appeared kneeling, "Yes master?" he calmly spoke. Suddenly a light appeared and shone down on the sword that Damascus held during his encounter with the kids.
"Inform Damascus that we have a guest that he has to greet. I am sure that he would love to." The sword spoke as darkangemon listened. The digimon bowed his head and then flew off in search of T.K.
"Damascus we have a guest that you may be interested in greeting." Darkangemon said as he found T.K. Just then a mirror appeared on the wall and showed Kari walking aimlessly around the place. Damascus smirked as he watched Kari exploring her surroundings. Then he walked off down the hall to meet with her.
"Man I am so lost. Why did I even come in here?" Kari said to herself. She suddenly felt an eerie presence behind her. When she turned around and shined the light down the hall, she saw nothing. Then she began to get nervous and started to panic slightly.
"So we meet again." A voice said, startling her. She pointed her digivice in the direction of the voice and was shocked when she saw T.K. standing there before her. "T.K.!" She shouted as she ran to him.
"Don't take a step further or else I will kill you." Kari stopped as soon as he spoke those words. She thought he was kidding until he pulled out a sword from the sheath hidden inside of his cloak. His sunglasses were not on which revealed a dark red glow within them. She started into them with horror as he put his sword back into the sheath. He began to make his way towards her as she did not move. The glow in his eyes seemed to have frozen her.
"Why have you come here Kari? You never should have come here." T.K. said as he put a hand on her shoulder. His voice had a caring and concerned tone in it. Tears began to fill her eyes as she dropped her digivice and wrapped her arms around him once more. T.K. was taken back by this action. He could barely speak as she started to cry.
"Kari please don't cry. I hate it when you cry." She looked up at him with tears rolling down her eyes and noticed that this time his eyes were of his normal shade of blue. She gave him a weak smile as she held onto him once more. T.K., not knowing what to do, tried to break the hold on him.
When T.K. was able to separate her arms he held her hands in his and looked down at her. "You need to get out of here. There's something within me that I can't fight, and if it takes over me right now I may end up hurting you." Kari gazed into his long forgotten handsome eyes.
"I came to tell you that I made a mistake. Please don't say anything until I am finished. When we were at the bridge and you told me you loved me, I made a mistake. I said that I did not love you and that we could only be friends. I started to think about it yesterday and I realized that the reason I rejected you was because I was scared.
"Kari…" T.K. whispered,
"Please let me finish. I really need to say this. I was scared that if we did end up becoming something more than friends that it would not go right. I thought I wasn't ready for a relationship, but now I know I am. Will you please forgive me and let us being a new life together?"
T.K. stood there with tears of happiness forming in his eyes. He then, in an instant, wrapped his arms around her in a loving embrace as he placed his lips upon her forehead kissing it for the longest time. Then he lifted her chin upward and started to kiss her lips. She was so happy that she pushed his head towards her and made their kiss a more deep and passionate kiss.
But, to their dismay the house began to shake violently. Their lips parted only to look around the place and see debris falling from the ceiling. T.K. quickly grabbed Kari's hand and ran down the hallway. Then in moments they were out the door and running away from the house.
When they reached a safe distance, they turned back and watched the house slowly begin to crumble. He held her in his arms as suddenly something came flying out from the house. T.K. recognized it as the sword as it flew into the air.
"You are a fool T.K." The sword began to speak in a loud voice. "Now is the time to execute my plan. Now darkangemon." Just then darkangemon came flying up next to the sword. He stood there for a moment before he grabbed the sword.
Then in an instant, Darkangemon got sucked into the sword. Then the sword floated motionless for a second before it began to shake violently. T.K. held Kari close to him as he put himself between Kari and the sword. Just then the sword exploded and a huge bang echoed throughout the digiworld. The sword itself started free falling and landed right next to T.K. and Kari.
T.K. stood there never taking his eyes off of the cloud of smoke in the air. He sensed an evil presence that felt oddly familiar. The smoke slowly dissipated in the air. A dark figure started to take form. Kari held tightly onto T.K. as she could feel the tension in the air grow. As the smoke finally cleared T.K. was able to see the figure standing in the air. His eyes widened with fear as the figure began to descend to the ground.
"It can't be…" T.K. began as Kari looked over his shoulder. When she saw what T.K. was staring at, she too looked over in fear as the figure reached the ground. They were too scared to move a muscle. The digimon that stood in front of them was like no other. "…Piedmon."
