Someone was speaking. The voice was muffled like she was underwater. Kari felt her breath move into her lungs.

"Kari." The voice was louder and Kari parted her lips and looked into a pair of blue eyes.

"TK?" Kari whispered and she saw TK's shoulders relax. He pressed his forehead against hers.

"You scared me." He breathed and Kari felt the warmth of his breath. She closed her eyes and felt something blanketing her mind. It was similar to what she had felt when Sora had held her when the darkness was snaking its way through her mind. Only this time the warmth was stronger and she could see a yellow glow in her mind. She opened her eyes feeling awake and energised for the first time in weeks.

"TK?" Kari whispered and TK opened his eyes as well.

"Did you-" he cut her off,

"I felt it." He answered her unfinished question. Kari nodded and pulled her head from TK's. The warmth cooled as she separated herself from TK and she felt uneasy. She looked around. They were in the lobby of a building near the beach. Mr. Nishijima, Matt and Izzy we're talking by the front door. Mei was holding Koromon while the rest of the digimon huddled around her. Kari could see Sora Mimi and Joe sitting together whispering. No one was paying them any attention. Kari looked back at TK and gently placed her forehead back against TK's. She felt the warmth return and couldn't help feel relief. She felt TK put a hand on the back of Kari's head. She knew they weren't being watched so she welcomed his lips as they met her own. TK held her head firmly and deepened the kiss. Kari felt the warmth fill her and she pushed her lips harder against TK's

"TK?" Kari gasped and pulled back embarrassed someone had caught them. TK inhaled but kept his hands on Kari.

"Patamon?" He asked and Kari could hear a little irritation in TK's voice.

Kari exhaled relieved it was only Patamon who caught them.

"Can we get some food? I'm pretty hungry." He asked innocently. Kari smirked and felt TK's hands leave her.

"Yeah just one minute okay buddy?" Patamon tilted his head but flapped his wings and moved back towards the other digimon.

Kari looked back to TK. He slowly met her gaze and put his hands on her face.

"Talk to me." He whispered and Kari slowly closed her eyes and then opened them.

"I don't think he's gone." She admitted. TK remained silent.

"I think he's there. In the dark world. He's not alone. Others are there. Some we've forgotten. I think they mean to pull people there and keep them making us forget. Forget they ever existed." Kari stopped and then looked at TK more alert.

"TK I think I know why this reboot happened." TK sat up and his hands left Kari's face.

"Matt!" TK yelled and Kari felt the warmth disappear completely. She saw Matt look over at them and TK repeated her word from earlier.

"Help."

Matt pinched his forehead and Kari felt her shoulders slump. She figured no one believed her. Matt looked at Kari and she narrowed her eyes. This was no time to cower. She stood up.

"I know how it sounds!" She yelled and the group looked at her stunned. She stood tall.

"My brother is alive. I know. I can feel it. Sora." Kari looked right at Sora.

"I could feel your crest. You helped push the darkness out of me. But I think it's deeper then that. Izzy you knew where me and Tai were." Izzy stepped forward and Kari continued.

"Were all connected I know we can feel each other's crests. So we would know if one of us was..." she stopped unable to say the words. She felt her heart beat she wasn't used to being in such a power role. She closed her eyes wishing for Tai. She opened them feeling stronger.

"Tai needs us. We have to find him." Matt sighed and Kari didn't want to stand in the middle any longer.

"I believe you." Kari's eyes went wide as she stared at Matt. He continued,

"You trusted me. I saw it in your eyes. When I promised you not to worry about Tai. I promised you your parents are fine and we'd get Gatomon back. I'm going to keep that promise. So I believe you." He turned to the rest of the group and Kari slipped back towards TK who quickly held her.

"We need to work together. Dark gennai and cherrymon won't let us all charge into dark world undetected. Even if we do, that could be a trap to keep us there. We need to split up. Figure out our best course of action. We're going to need to draw Ophanimon and Meikracmon out while some of us go to Tai. So the question is... who goes where?" Matt concluded and Kari felt TK tighten his hold on her. She looked across the circle at Mei. She looked sad and she still held Koromon. Kari wondered why and but her lip trying to figure Mei out.

"Kari?" Mr. Nishijima spoke and Kari took a minute to find the teacher who was standing behind Joe.

"Yeah?"

Mr. Nishijima stepped next to Joe.

"Do you know where Maki is?" Kari was shocked at his question. She was stunned a moment but slowly nodded.

Kari felt the others look at her. She stepped back and felt TK kiss her temple. She would have blushed but she felt relief instead of embarrassment.

"Alright let's divide and kick some dark digimon ass!" Matt announced determined.
