"Amy, she did it to protect you, Jessica and Mariann," Louis said walking up to Gatomon and trying to comfort her, "I wish I knew of something we could do but I don't, I'm sorry."
Hearing Gatomon yelling Wargreymon turns to her, "Kari no," Tai gasped in horror and then grunts in pain as Black Wargreymon knees him in the stomach.
"Better pay attention Tai or you're going to lose," Black Wargreymon said as he elbows him in the chin, "I want a good fight, not one where you aren't even trying to defend yourself."
"You're going to tell me how to reverse what Phelesmon did or I'll rip you to shreds," Tai growled as he slashes Black Wargreymon's left arm making it useless as the gashes he made starts bleeding like crazy.
"I have heard rumors from digimon I have seen all over speak of something that can cure any kind of petrification," BlackWargreymon grunted in pain as his left arm is hanging by his side, "But I doubt any of you would find it in time because they said it's only a legend and that attack used on your sister is slowly devouring her soul even though it looks like it already ended."
"What do you mean," Tai asked as he tries to kick BlackWargreymon in the face only for him to grab his leg with both hands, "How is it possible you can still move your arm, with what I did to it you shouldn't even be able to feel anything from your arm?"
"Oh come on you should know me better then that," BlackWargreymon said as he uses Tai's own body weight against him as he slams him into the ground, "And what I mean is Kari as you like to call Nefertimon is trapped in her own mind and body fighting a losing battle against the darkness and when it completely consumes her, her body will turn to nothing more then dust so I have heard."
In another part of the battle, "You are going to pay for what you have done," TK yelled, "You have hurt one of my friends and I won't stand for that," he yelled as he powers up his attack, "Meteor Gallop," he yelled and his body is covered in flames as he runs at an incredibly fast speed toward Phelesmon.
"TK get him for what he did to Kari," Patamon yelled as TK slams into Phelesmon and sent him flying into Megadramon, "That's what I'm talking about."
"Watch what the hell you are doing," Megadramon yelled at Phelesmon, "Before you get both of us killed." He then turns towards the ShimaUnimon, "Dark side attack," he yelled launching a ball of black energy at ShimaUnimon.
ShimaUnimon jumps out of the way of the attack, "You need target practice," Cody said, "Let me show you how it's done, Wild Thunder," he yelled launching the attack at Megadramon and Phelesmon.
Devidramon then turns towards ShimaUnimon after getting hit by a few of the lightning bolts himself, "Watch the hell what you are doing Cody," he yelled.
"Sorry about that Davis," ShimaUnimon said, "You should already know not to get to close to the enemies when I use that particular attack."
"This isn't the time you two," ShimaUnimon's partner Michael yelled, "Worry about that later and focus on the enemy."
"Maybe you should go home Amy," Louis said, "It's dangerous here at the moment and Kari can't protect you in her current condition."
"No I'm not going anywhere," Gatomon said angered by Louis suggesting she should leave, "Kari is my best friend and I'll find a way to save her if I have to do it by myself." Unnoticed by Gatomon her digivice is glowing and changing into the one like Kari has outside the ride.
Jessica noticing this thinks, 'What is happening to Amy's digivice, why is it changing like that?'
"If Kari has ever really needed my help now is when she needs it the most," Gatomon said causing the digivice to glow even brighter catching her attention, 'Huh what's going on,' she thinks.
After a moment the other digivices start reacting to the one Gatomon is holding and send beams of energy into hers, 'Ok this doesn't make any sense,' she thinks, 'Why did Kari's digivice appear if this is only a ride?' She then watches as the digivice then shoots a beam of energy at Kari engulfing her in such a bright light that everyone has to cover their eyes as it spreads and engulfs everyone else as well.
"What the hell is that light," Phelesmon yelled in pain, "It feels like I'm on fire."
'Damn wherever this light is coming from it's weakening me,' Megadramon thinks as he's whimpering in pain.
"Those two are so pathetic," BlackWargreymon mumbled, 'Hmm this light seems to be healing me and restoring my energy,' he thinks, 'I wonder why that is?'
As the light dies down enough for them to open there eyes Gatomon sees Kari missing, "Where is Kari," she asked and looks at the digivice in her hand to see it's the one she had when she first woke up as a human in the ride, 'Why did Kari's real digivice appear for a moment,' she thinks, 'Or did it even actually appear?'
"The light weakened them," Patamon said.
"I'll handle this from here," Kari said from above causing all of them to look up and see a humanoid like digimon with golden wings in blue armor, "I'm Ophanimon the Mega form of Gatomon."
"Since when has Kari been able to digivolve to mega," Rick asked, "I thought she was only capable of going to the Ultimate level?"
"Well whatever that was that appeared in Amy's hand caused it," Jessica said, "Do you know what it was Amy?"
"I don't know what it was," Gatomon said.
"I'm glad it came," Patamon said.
Kari turns to Black Wargreymon and said, "I'm sick of you fighting my brother all the time. Shining Javelin!"
Black Wargreymon flies up from the attack. Then he is smashed into the ground. "Your not involved," he told Kari as he gets back to his feet.
"I became involved when you attacked Tai," Kari said, "And then when you attacked me. This is now my fight."
"I have no need to fight you," Black Wargreymon said, "I'm only concerned with fighting Tai, now stay out of my way."
"This doesn't look good," Louis said, "Black Wargreymon seems to be back at full strength as well."
"But how, that light should have weakened him like it did Phelesmon and Megadramon," Jessica said, "Also Black Wargreymon seems bent on killing Tai."
"Just because he's a virus doesn't mean he would be weakened by something like that," Patamon said, 'This reminds me of how the Black Wargreymon in my digital world was healed when Azulongmon hit him back with his chains and that burst of energy.'
"What did Black Wargreymon mean by if Kari was reformatted that Tai would end up in the digi-egg with her," Mariann asked.
"Well it's kind of a long story," Louis said, "But let's just say that a strong digimon attacked us a few months ago and hit Kari and Tai with an attack that caused them to end up in a single digi-egg."
"Don't forget that the same thing happened to Matt and TK," Rick said, "So now if Kari or Tai get's reformatted even if the other one is perfectly fine they will end up getting reformatted as well and the same goes with Matt and TK."
"I think we should get out of here," Phelesmon said, "What ever that light was has greatly weakened us and we are out numbered."
"Yes a tactical retreat may be a good idea," Megadramon said, "Dealing with this many digimon at full strength while we aren't is not a good idea."
'What pathetic weaklings,' Black Wargreymon thinks as he watches the two starting to try to get away.
"Maybe you should take your friends advice and retreat as well," Kari said.
Black Wargreymon then starts laughing, "You think those pathetic excuses for digimon are with me," he said, "The only reason I'm here is to fight Tai."
"If they aren't with you then how do you know what that attack Phelesmon used does," Tai asked.
"I overheard Phelkusmon bragging about what that attack does when I passed by an area they were in a few weeks ago," Black Wargreymon said and tries to attack Tai only to get kicked in the face by Kari, "I happened to stop in that area near where they were and you stay out of this Kari."
"As I said this is now my fight as well," Kari said.
"That does it," Black Wargreymon said as he hears Phelesmon and Megadramon trying to beg for their lives from the other digimon as he raises his arms and starts gathering energy for an attack after jumping back about a hundred or so feet from Tai and Kari.
"Kari, Tai try to stop him from launching that attack or block it somehow," Louis yelled.
"Got it Louis," Wargreymon said and gets his shield ready as him and Kari get in front of the digi-destined to protect them from the attack.
"Terra Destroyer," Black Wargreymon yelled as he launches his attack.
Kari and Tai then brace themselves for the attack only to be surprised as Black Wargreymon throws it at Phelesmon and Megadramon deleting both of them and causing the other digimon to be thrown back as they are knocked back into their rookie forms, "Why did he attack them," Tai asked confused.
"Good riddance to those two annoying weaklings," Black Wargreymon said rubbing his temples, "Their constant whining was starting to give me a migraine, now shall we continue where we left off?"
"Let's do this Tai," Kari said.
"Right," Tai said as he rushes at Black Wargreymon and thrust his claw at his darker counterpart.
Black Wargreymon block the strike with his own claws. Then a powerful blast strikes the back of his arm. As his arm falls limp he turns to see Kari flying at him. Then he is cut in his back, "Need the help of the others Tai," he said.
"No," Tai said, "We both want to fight you."
"We are sick and tired of you attacking us," Kari said, "And it's about time we stop you for good."
"It's not going to be as easy as you think," Black Wargreymon said and attacks Kari with his dramon destroyer claw and hits her left leg leaving a few nasty gashes causing Kari to cry out in pain.
"You are going to pay for doing that," Tai yelled running at Black Wargreymon as he's getting ready to use one of his attacks only for Black Wargreymon to pull off part of his shield with his good arm and uses it to bash Tai in the face sending him to the ground, "That was a cheap shot," Tai said and spits out some blood.
"This is a fight and you're probably just frustrated that you didn't think of it," Black Wargreymon said grinning.
"Black Wargreymon you talk way to much," Kari said, "Sephirote Crystal," she yelled hitting him in the chest with the attack and damaging his armor.
"You might as well give up Black Wargreymon," Tai said, "You're out numbered and can't even use most of your attacks."
"I'm never going to give up," Black Wargreymon said and he rushes at Kari grabs her by the leg and throws her at Tai with all his strength, "Here catch Tai!"
Tai is caught off guard as Kari is thrown into him knocking them both to the ground, "Tai are you ok," Louis yelled.
"Yeah I'm fine," Wargreymon said as he stands up.
"This fight is over," Black Wargreymon said as he notices the armor on Tai's stomach is cracked and damaged to the point his stomach is vulnerable.
"I agree with that this fight is over for you," Tai said as he prepares to launch his Terra force attack and gasps in excruciating pain as Black Wargreymon impales him in the stomach with his dramon destroyer and pulls out his claw from Tai's stomach afterwards.
"As I said this fight is over," Black Wargreymon said and turns around and starts walking away as Tai collapses and reverts back to an unconscious Agumon, "We'll meet again digi-destined."
"You aren't going any where," Kari yelled.
"Who's going to stop me," Black Wargreymon asked turning to look at Kari, "I doubt you have much energy left to do so Kari."
"And how would you know that," Kari said getting ready to launch another attack, "I'm not going to let you get away with what you did to Tai."
"With the way you are panting and all the wounds you have received I doubt you have the energy for an attack," Black Wargreymon said, "Also with the fact you aren't used to being at the mega level."
"Just because this is the first time I've gone to the mega level doesn't mean I don't have enough energy to defeat you," Kari panted, "Sephirote Crys..." she starts to yell only to collapse from exhaustion and revert back to Salamon.
"As I said this fight is over," Black Wargreymon said as he starts walking away again.
"Come back here," Kari yelled.
"Kari enough," Gatomon said, "That was your first time going mega and you used up much of your energy. It is best we go home." She then picks the yellow puppy up.
"I'm going to nap. Wake me when I'm a gatomon again," Kari said.
Back in the real world, Gatomon's mom comes in and sees the digimon. "What happen to Tai and where is Kari?"
"Tai was attacked by a digimon while Kari dedigivolved into this form," Gatomon said, "Not only can digimon change into more powerful digimon but they can also change into weaker ones to save energy. A good nap and Kari will be her normal self."
"Your total is 45.95. Thank you for shopping," Kari muttered in her sleep.
"What did Kari just say," Gatomon's mom asked.
"Oh sometimes she has dreams about being a human," Gatomon said, "And half the time she mutters stuff about ringing up orders in her sleep."
"Yeah Kari's weird like that at times," Louis said.
"I remember one time in the digital when Kari was sleep walking about a year ago when she picked up Amy's digivice," Jessica said, "She kept calling Amy Gatomon and telling her to digivolve to Angewomon, it was funny seeing her do that."
"Yeah it was funny," Louis said, "But it was a little confusing because in the process she caused herself to digivolve some how."
"Amy are you feeling ok," Gatomon's mom asked, "It looks like you have been crying recently?"
"Well I thought for a few minutes there that I might have lost Kari," Gatomon said, "But things worked themselves out and she's fine now."
"What made you think you lost her," Gatomon's dad asked.
"Well two other digimon attacked the rest of our partners and when one of them saw an opening it launched an attack at Jessica, Mariann, and me," Gatomon said, "Kari jumped in the way of the attack and it surrounded her in darkness and when it dissipated Kari had been turned to a black statue while she was in her Nefertimon form."
"Nefertimon form," Gatomon's dad asked confused, "What's that and what does she look like?"
"Well Nefertimon looks like a typical sphinx from myths and legends," Gatomon said, "You know a catlike body, wings and the face of a human but her face is covered by a mask though."
"We know what a sphinx is," Gatomon's mom said, "What we didn't know is that's what Nefertimon is."
"Don't forget her catlike body looks just like a gatomon's except she can't stand on two feet," Patamon said.
"So what happened after Kari got turned into a statue," Gatomon's dad asked.
"Well Amy's digivice changed for a few moments there and pulled energy from the other digivices," Jessica said, "After it did that it shot the beam of energy at Kari and created a blinding light for a few minutes, when we were able to see again Kari had gone to the highest level of digivolution and became a digimon by the name of Ophanimon."
"Amy," Kari said once more, "what are you are you doing back here?" Her ears perk up. "Mom, I don't want to talk about it." Her ears lower. "What is it? You don't want to be late to school." Her ear perk up once more. "Mom, I forgot something." Her ears lower. "What is it?" Her ears perk up and she mutters. Her ears lower. "What?" Her ears perk up once more. "I forgot to put on a pair of underwear!" she yelled.
"Kari," Gatomon said.
"She must be replaying something she heard," Patamon said.
"Let's test it," TK said. "Who do you think is cute Amy?" she asked Kari.
"Look at these pictures and tell us who you think is cute Amy," Kari said. Her ears perk up. "I think my pet Kari is cuter than those two cats."
"Rephrase it," Gazimon said.
'I think she's repeating some of the stuff she's heard me say and the people I was talking to while she was in my back pack,' Gatomon thinks.
"Hmm I want to try something," Patamon said and walks up to Kari and whispers something in her ear.
Kari then whispers something and then her ears perk up once again, "Oh Jason you're making me blush," she said and then everyone starts laughing as Kari kisses him on the lips.
"Ok I didn't expect that," Patamon said as he's blushing.
"I'm not too surprised with what you probably said," Gatomon said blushing remember what Patamon said to make her say and do that, "Last time I said something like that is when we went the movies."
"What did Jason say that made you react like that Amy," Louis asked.
"It's none of your business what Jason said," Gatomon said blushing even more.
Kari then responds to Louis' question, "Jason said I'm the most beautiful girl he's ever seen," she said causing Gatomon to blush even more and Patamon to blush as well.
'Great Kari's dreaming that she's me again,' Gatomon thinks, "Why did you have to make Kari remember that Jason," she asked.
"I didn't know she was going to respond to Louis as if she's you," Patamon said, "And plus Kari told me that she had heard what I said to you then anyways."
"Lets see what else she has to say," Gazimon said.
"Mom," Gatomon said.
"Put Tai and Kari into your room and let them rest," Gatomon's mom said.
"Yes mom," Gatomon and Louis both said as they pick up their partners and put them into Amy's and Mariann's room.
"Now the rest of you are going to leave them alone," Gatomon's mom said, "They need to rest with what they have been through, now if any of you try to bother them before they wake up you're going to have to leave, understood."
"Yes mam," everyone else in the room said.
"Good since you understand you can do what you want as long as you don't bother them or tear this place apart," Gatomon's mom said.
A little later, Kari as a gatomon and Tai walk into the room. "Good morning," Kari said, "I'm hungry. Digivolving takes a lot out of me." She watches Gatomon's mom carries her cat bowl. She smiles as she follows her to an area with sun light.
"Here you go Kari," Gatomon's mom said.
Kari stops to see Gatomon. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"I'm just thinking of what I would have done if I had lost you," Gatomon said.
"Well you didn't and that what counts," Kari said.
"But why did you jump in front of us like that," Gatomon asked, "You could have been killed."
"You're my partner as well as my friend like the others," Kari said, "I couldn't let you or them get hurt."
"Uh Amy you got a message from Gennai," Louis said, "For some reason he just wants to see you, Jason, Kari and TK about something."
"When did it come," Gatomon asked, "And does it say why he wants to see the four of us?"
"It doesn't say why," Louis said, "Oh how are you feeling Tai?"
"I'm feeling fine though it feels like I was stabbed in the stomach," Agumon said, "Oh wait that's right I was stabbed in the stomach," he said sarcastically.
"Yeah he's going to be fine," Kari said, "And Gennai can wait till after I eat."
"What's this," Gatomon asked as she takes the d-terminal from Louis and starts reading what's at the very end of the message, "P.S. No it can't wait Kari, you can eat later. Ok how did he know Kari was going to say that?"
"You know how Gennai is," Louis said, "He seems to know what is going on better then we do most of the time to the point it's scary some of the time."
"Why is it I can't eat?" Kari asked.
"I'll put it away," Gatomon's mom said.
"Fine," Kari said, "Lets get this over with."
They enter the digi-world and fall in a pile on some mats. "Good you're here," Gennai said, "Come with me. I have something to talk about."
"What is it you wanted us for Gennai," Kari asked, "I was about to eat, that last fight took a lot out of me."
"I'll tell you what I called the four of you here for in a few minutes," Gennai said, "Also this matter only concerns all of you."
"Why does it only concern us," Patamon asked, "I thought problems with the digi-world would concern the entire team?"
"Well this isn't exactly about the digi-world Jason, Amy, Kari, and TK that is a problem that the others need to know about," Gennai said as they walk into a place none of them have seen before, "Or should I say Hikari Kamiya, Takeru Takaishi, Patamon, and Gatomon."
The four of them stop dead hearing this Gennai using their real names, "How do you know those names," Kari asked.
"How wouldn't I know your real names," Gennai said, "Especially since I have helped you out in so many occasions Kari, what I'm wondering is how all of you ended up here."
"What do you mean," Gatomon asked as they start following Gennai again, "This is turning out to be one really weird ride all of a sudden," she mutters.
"This is no ride," Gennai snapped and then takes a deep breath to calm himself, "Sorry about that," he said, "But this is no ride you're on Gatomon."
"But we entered a ride in the amusement park that Lord Holy Angemon has in that place of his," Kari said, "We entered a room and sat down in some sort of virtual reality chairs that an agumon is running, so how is what you're saying possible?"
"Wait how do we know this isn't something that agumon programmed to happen with the ride," Patamon said, "He could be doing this to confuse us right now."
"Hmm that is a good idea Patamon," Gennai said, "And I'm not sure what I can tell you to make you believe otherwise while we are here at least."
"Well with you and your logic I'm not surprised you would say that Gennai," TK said, "And what do you mean when you say at least?"
"There is a way I can prove it," Gennai said, "But it won't work at the moment because you are here."
"Ok you lost me Gennai," Gatomon said, "How can you prove this is real?"
"What I'm going to do is when I know you four are back in your own bodies," Gennai said, "I'm going to get in contact with you somehow and ask you about the fight that Kari was turned to a statue in."
Kari then stops, "Wait if this is real then I could have actually been killed," she said terrified of what could have happened to her, "So what I experienced was real?"
"What did you experience when you got hit by that attack," Gatomon asked.
"After I got hit by Phelesmon's attack I found myself surrounded by complete darkness in my mind I think," Kari said shuttering from the memory, "Though I'm not completely sure because I was my normal human self and next to me on one side was a Gatomon claiming to be me in a way and on the other side I saw what looked to be me when I first entered the digital world."
"That sounds kind of weird," Gatomon said, "If this is real then maybe that Gatomon represented the Kari of this world?"
"I hate to be the barer of bad news," Gennai said, "But what you experienced is real and even if this was just a ride I don't know what could have happened to you and it doesn't make the fact of that happening to you any less real in your case or any one else's case as well."
Kari's eye color then changes, "Well duh that Gatomon represents the one of this reality," she said before her eye color returns to what they were before.
"Kari there is no reason to come off so rude," TK said, "And why did your voice sound slightly different?"
"What do you mean," Kari asked, "I didn't say anything."
Gennai then turns to Patamon and sees a spaced out look on his face and in his eyes, "Hey Patamon are you even listening to what we are talking about at the moment," Gennai asked.
"Huh oh sorry I guess my mind started wondering while we have been talking," Patamon said.
"That's one thing I noticed," Gatomon said in a teasing tone, "Patamon has been getting easily distracted since we woke up like this a few days ago."
"I don't know why but that's how it has been," Patamon said, "But what's worse is Gatomon poking fun at me about it."
"Think of this Patamon," Kari said, "It means Gatomon actually likes you then, because I haven't heard her teasing anyone else like that at all and she has been doing it to you for awhile right?"
"Well I guess she has been," Patamon said blushing.
"One thing Gatomon told me awhile ago is that she likes you and," Kari is in the middle of saying only for Gatomon to grab her and cover her mouth.
"Patamon doesn't need to know that at the moment Kari," Gatomon whispered in her ear, "I'll tell him when I feel like it."
Kari then manages to get Gatomon's hand off her mouth, "Why can't you tell him now," she asked, "I already know you are going to start going out with Patamon."
"I can't believe you told," Gatomon said. She turns away and rushes from the room.
"Come back," Patamon called out.
"The Kari of this world always had a big mouth," Gennai said.
Meanwhile Gatomon's mom walks into Gatomon's room. She sees Gatomon finish putting a muzzle on Kari. "Why are you doing that?" Gatomon's mom asked.
"I'm tired of her saying things that she should not," Gatomon said.
Gennai then walks into Gatomon's room, "You know Amy that was very rude of you to run off like that while I was talking to you," he said, "I wasn't even finished or had begun to tell you what I really wanted to say."
"Who the hell are you and how did you get in here," Gatomon's mom yelled, "Get out before I call the police."
"Mom it's ok," Gatomon said, "This is Gennai, he must have followed me here using the digi-port with Jason's help."
"Sorry for the intrusion," Gennai said, "As your daughter just said I'm Gennai and I'm a good friend of all of your children and their friends, I'm the one who gives them the information they need when they need it."
Gatomon then puts Kari down, 'I can't believe Gatomon did this to me,' Kari thinks as she's trying to get the muzzle off, 'She is going to be in big trouble when this ride is over.'
"Where is everyone else," Patamon asked as him and TK walk into the room, "I thought they would still be here?"
"Oh about ten minutes after the four of you left they decided to follow you," Gatomon's mom said.
"So then they are on File Island at the moment," Gennai said, "And more then likely they have their hands full with quite a few digimon."
"Then shouldn't Amy and Jason go help them along with their digimon," Gatomon's mom asked, "They could get hurt."
"Mom they are fine," Gatomon said, "What Gennai means is they are probably in primary village at the moment and that place is most of the time overrun with digimon that have just hatched and they are harmless."
"What do you mean just hatched," Gatomon's dad asked outside the door of Gatomon's room.
"Well every kind of digimon hatches out of digi-eggs," Gennai said, "I knew the rest would try to follow so after Amy and Jason with their partners came I set up the digi-port to send them right into the middle of primary village, come on you four we still need to talk."
"Uh ok let's go then," Patamon said.
"We were almost to were I wanted to be able to talk to by walking," Gennai said, "But that's going to take more time we don't have, so I'll just set the digi-port to spit us out of the computer in the place I stay." He then goes to the computer and accesses the digi-port and programs it to where he wants to go.
Unnoticed by most of the others Gennai unsnaps the straps for the muzzle on Kari right before Patamon walks up to the computer, "Alright let's do this, digi-port open," Patamon yelled as they are sucked into the computer.
"I'm not going to get used to seeing that," Gatomon's dad said, "Is something wrong dear, you look worried."
"I just hope Amy is feeling ok," Gatomon's mom said, "The last three days she hasn't been acting like herself."
A few minutes later in the digital world, "I really hate this part," Patamon complained as the others are laying on top of him, "Can the four of you please get off."
"Actually only Gatomon, Kari, and TK are on top of you Patamon," Gennai said already sitting at the table in front of them.
Gatomon gets off Patamon and picks up Kari noticing the muzzle is gone, "Alright what happened to the muzzle I put on Kari," Gatomon asked.
"How should we know," TK asked.
"When this is over Gatomon," Kari said, "You are going to be wishing you hadn't done that when I'm through with you."
"So what is it you really wanted to talk to us about Gennai," TK asked, "You said that you really hadn't had a chance to talk to us about what you wanted to."
"Well the four of you being here seems to be affecting this reality somehow," Gennai said.
"How is that possible," Kari asked, "And what do you mean exactly?"
"Well when Mariann had lost Leomon I told them that their wasn't enough of his data left for him to be reborn," Gennai said.
"Are you trying to say that our presence is what caused Leomon to be reborn," Patamon asked, "You were probably mistaking when you said that and his data just took a lot longer then normal to reconfigure."
"I left out one thing when I told them that," Gennai said, "I don't know how it's possible he's alive now because after that attack that hit him all of his data had been completely destroyed to where not even a single piece of it remained."
"That is impossible," TK said.
"You should know very well that it is possible," Gennai said, "In your own world you completely destroyed every ounce of MaloMyotisomon's data when Imperialdramon Fighter Mode used that Giga Crusher attack of his, so it isn't impossible."
"But if Leomon's data was completely destroyed then how did he come back," Kari asked, "I mean with out it he shouldn't even exist any more."
"Yes I know," Gennai said, "But I also noticed about two or three days ago a slight rift had appeared around the area where he was killed, if I'm right it appeared around the same time the four of you ended up here in the bodies of four of the heros of this world."
"So what happened to the four that actually own these bodies," Patamon asked, "If this isn't a ride like you keep saying but it's still kind of hard to believe it."
"With what Kari was starting to tell us what she experienced in her own mind I believe they are still in their own bodies," Gennai said, "And Kari did seem to act completely different when she digi-volved to mega right?"
"Now that I think about it Kari was acting completely different," Gatomon said, "The Kari I know would have been freaking out from the whole ordeal from the darkness that she experienced."
"What do you mean I went to mega," Kari asked, "Last thing I remember before waking up in your room was getting hit with that attack and being surrounded by complete darkness in my own mind."
"You don't remember helping Tai fight Black Wargreymon," Gatomon asked, "After your digivice appeared it hit you with a beam of light and caused you to digi-volve to Ophanimon, then you decided to help Tai."
"Actually I do remember that," Kari said, "Though it felt like I was watching it through someone elses eyes."
"Ok I'm starting to think Gennai might be right about this not being a ride," TK said, "Though why did I end up as a Lady Veemon in this reality?"
"Well originally the TK in this reality wasn't a Lady Veemon till about a few months ago," Gennai said.
"I overheard Louis mentioning Tai and Kari getting hit by an attack that made it to where they end up in the same digi-egg if one of them is reformatted," Patamon said, "And then Rick mentioned the same thing about Matt and TK, does that have anything to do with it."
"Yes it does Patamon," Gennai said, "What happened during that fight is TK was seriously injured and her data was starting to head back to primary village when the attack hit her and Matt, the result is that Matt and only part of TK's data became a single digi-egg."
"What was TK's original digimon form in this reality," Kari asked.
"Before that happened TK in this reality was a female Patamon," Gennai said, "But because not all of her data was put into that digi-egg her and Matt were put into she was lucky enough to be reborn as a Lady Veemon, though I have no clue as to what happened to the rest of her data that dissipated." He then sighs, "Though most of TK's digivolutions are the same even though that happened, the only ones that changed is her rookie and armor forms."
"Are you sure the data didn't become a part of TK again," Patamon asked, "I mean the TK of this world wouldn't be able to survive with out it right?"
"I don't know if it did or didn't," Gennai said, "But our time is almost up here and the four of you will be waking up soon and if Kari experienced that fight like she was seeing it through another persons eyes then I'm pretty sure the true owners of these bodies have been experiencing everything in that same way."
"What will happen to the Leomon when we go," Kari asked, "I mean if we some how caused him to be reborn will he vanish when we leave?"
"No he won't," Gennai said, "I was able to use the digi-port to scan his data when you took him back to the real world the other day and he's here to stay it seems, though I'm not sure what's going to happen to Jessica though, I don't know if she was meant to survive that attack that Flamemon tried to kill her with."
"Could we have showed up here to prevent some things from happening," Gatomon asked, "Like Jessica from dying like that?"
"Uh Gennai how do you know that we don't have much more time to talk," Kari asked, "It's not like you know when we are going to go back to our own bodies."
"Actually during this conversation you keep saying things and don't even realize it Kari," Gennai said, "I'm pretty sure whatever brought your minds here is weakening and as it does the ones who own those bodies are taking back control."
"Well no shit Gennai," Gatomon said causing everyone to stare at her, "Uh why are all of you staring at me," she asked confused after a moment or so.
"That just proves my point that this isn't a ride," Gennai said.
"Actually in my opinion that doesn't really prove anything about this being a ride or not," Kari said, "For all we know that agumon programmed for this to be the last part."
"Well I guess that the only way to prove it is what I said before about sending you a message about the fight you were in earlier," Gennai said, "Also it looks like our time is up, so I'll talk to you later." He then watches as the four of them passes out.
A few minutes later Kari and the others wake up, "Ah man why do I have a headache," she asked, "Huh how did I get here, I thought I was only dreaming about this place?"
"You weren't dreaming Kari," Gennai said, "The last few days the four of you have played hosts to four gets from another reality in a way."
"If you want to call them taking over our bodies then you could say that," TK said.
"Well in the reality they come from they are you," Gennai said, "Only difference is that while Kari and TK are humans the Amy and Jason of that reality are digimon but unlike in this reality they didn't give their digimon names and probably won't because their world already knows about digimon."
"What are we going to do about it," Amy asked.
"You aren't going to do anything," Gennai said, "And for the time being I don't want any of you telling the others."
"Ok we can handle that," Kari said.
"Uh I hate to say this but Kari you have the biggest mouth out of all of us," TK said, "You can't even keep a secret for more then a few hours, if you don't blurt it out while you're awake half the time you start talking in your sleep about what you have heard."
"I don't talk in my sleep," Kari defended.
"Actually yes you do," Jason said, "I'm just surprised Amy's parents didn't find out about digimon from that."
"Even if I do talk in my sleep," Kari said, "With how loud Amy snores no one would be able to hear me."
"That's enough all of you," Gennai yelled, "With the way all of you argue I'm surprised you are in a relationship Amy and Jason, the four of you can head back to the real world if you want to now, I have to go check on a few things."
Meanwhile back at the ride Kari, Gatomon, TK, and Patamon wake up, "Ok that last part was a little odd," Kari yawned.
"Yeah you can say that again," Patamon said.
"Now I know how being a gatomon feels like," Kari said, "What time is it?"
"Early morning?" Gatomon said.
"I need to see Tai, I have to tell him I'm fine," Kari said, 'And maybe get a muzzle for Gatomon,' she thinks.
"Matt must be worry about us," TK said.
"I may have a message on my d-terminal," Kari said.
"Do you think that may have actually been real," Gatomon asked turning towards Kari, "Uh are we actually awake Kari because you and TK are still digimon."
"You're probably just imagining things," Kari said turning towards Gatomon to see her still as a human and wearing a similar bikini to the one she was when they entered the ride and turns to Patamon to see him wearing a pair of swimming trunks, "Why haven't we returned to our normal selves?"
"How should we know," Gatomon said, "Why do you want to check your d-terminal anyways, do you think you actually got a message from Gennai?"
"Not really," Kari said, "Knowing with how Tai worries about me at times I'm thinking he sent at least one message to me."
"That makes sense," TK said, "Tai at times can worry to point he starts pacing and wears a grove into the floor."
Before any of them can say anything else Tai is heard from outside the room they are in, "What the hell do you mean they are still in there," Tai yelled, "It has been almost twenty-four hours and they are still on this thing!"
"Whoa calm down sir," they hear the agumon that talked to them the night before saying, "They are perfectly fine, the way this ride works is that it puts them into a collective dream like state while also putting their actual bodies into a kind of stasis that makes it so there won't be serious problems for them when they do wake up."
Kari then hears a similar voice to hers and turns towards it to see a TV set mounted to the wall, "Hey look at that," she said pointing towards the TV.
"So what about it," Gatomon asked turning towards it, "It's showing the last conversation we had before returning here."
"That's enough all of you," the Gennai on the TV yelled , "With the way all of you argue I'm surprised you are in a relationship Amy and Jason, the four of you can head back to the real world if you want to now, I have to go check on a few things."
"Hmm a conversation we had Gatomon," Kari said, "I don't remember Gennai saying anything like that."
The four of them watches on the TV as the ones being shown on the TV get up and walk away, "That could have happened to us you know," TK said, "It's just that maybe we don't remember that one with us just waking up?"
"I doubt that TK," Kari said and watches as Gennai walks up to the same gate that Myotismon and older digi-destined used to get to real world, "What is that?"
"You're going to let us see our siblings now," they hear Matt yelling.
"That looks like the gate Myotismon used," TK said, "But I thought it was destroyed."
They all watch as the Gennai on the TV walks over to the panel for the cards to access the gate and starts sorting through the deck and choosing certain ones to lay onto the panel and they watches as the gate opens, "I should send one of my counterparts to stay here constantly," he said as the gate opens and he walks through right before the TV shuts off.
"Why did the TV shut off all of a sudden," Kari asked.
"The ride is now over," a computerized voice said through a speaker, "Please exit through the door that you used to enter this room, thank you and enjoy the next few days as a human or a digimon."
As they walk out of the room they find the agumon who runs the ride is the only one standing out there, "Uh where did the people we heard you talking to go," Patamon asked, "And why are we still like this?"
"The side effect of our lord's making," The Agumon said, "You won't be fighting like that. It's random and you are some of the unlucky ones."
"We need to tell the others," Gatomon said.
"I'm going to find Matt," TK said.
A little later, Tai opens the door to see a teen holding a gatomon. "I'm sorry I thought you were my sister," he said.
"I'm Kari," Kari said, "The ride we were on changed us like this."
"You can't be serious that I would believe that," Tai said.
"Tai you should know it's us by our voices," Gatomon said, "This is a side affect that only lasts a few days I think."
"Daddy," Mary said batting Tai's leg to get his attention.
"What is it Mary," Tai asked, "I'm trying to talk to these two at the moment."
"But daddy they smell like Aunty Kari and Gatomon," Mary said.
"Mary is right Tai," Agumon said, "That is them, I can tell by their voices and see it's them in their eyes."
"Great now my sister is a digimon," Tai sighed, "How can we reverse it?"
"I think after a few days we'll be back to our normal selves," Kari said, "Till then I don't think there is really anything we can do about it."
"Oh I was only joking about not realizing who you two are," Tai said with his usual grin.
Meanwhile with TK and Patamon, "Hey Matt we need to talk to you about something," Patamon said.
"What happened to you Patamon," Matt asked shocked hearing Patamon's voice come from this person, "And where is TK at?"
"I'm right here Matt," TK said from Patamon's arms.
"Ok tell me how the hell did this happen," Matt said, "And why are you a pink Veemon?"
"Well this is how we looked in the ride," Patamon said, "We were still like this when we woke up and we heard you and Tai yelling outside of the room we were in, when we walked out of the room the two of you were gone."
"Well we did get distracted by that TV that showed the ride still going for about ten minutes or so before we walked out of the room," TK said, "So I guess you and Tai left a few minutes before we walked out of there."
"I guess we can only wait for you two to be cured," Matt said.
Meanwhile Tai looks at the screen that lists a number of fights. "He'll announce the fights," Tai said, "I don't see us on the list. Those who have fights gets the priority with the training ground."
"I can't fight like this anyways," Kari said.
"All we can do is hope that you actually don't have to fight," Tai said.
"Actually that agumon running the ride said we wouldn't have to," Kari said and grins as a prank on Tai starts forming in her mind, "He said what happened to us happens randomly and that he was sorry about it and that's when he said we wouldn't have to fight like this."
"Well that is a good thing," Agumon said, "Though I wonder why Tai isn't on the list either?"
"The only reason I can think of is that he wants us to fight," Gatomon said.
"Yeah you're probably right about that Gatomon," Kari said looking up at Gatomon from her arms.
"So what are you going to do till you return to normal Aunty Kari," Mary asked.
"I'm going to have some fun," Kari said.
"Actually I think you should train a little," Gatomon said, "Even though you'll be like this for only a few days you should learn how to use your abilities as a digimon."
"You heard Tai," Kari said, "The people who have fights have priority over the training grounds."
"Then lets play a game of attack tag," one gatomon said
"How does that work?" Kari asked.
"We use weak attacks so they know we're attacking them but we don't hurt them," another gatomon said, "It helps us practice hitting moving targets that does not want to get hit."
"Will it be safe," Tai said.
"It was made safe for children. I'm sure we can handle this," Agumon said.
"I'm inviting TK over to play as well," Tai said.
"Ok that sounds great," Kari said, "I think TK would have fun."
Tai then notices Gatomon frowning, "Is something wrong Gatomon," he asked.
"No I'm fine," Gatomon said, "I'm just not used to being a human I guess."
"At least it's not permanent," Agumon said, "You and Kari will be back to normal in a few days."
"Yeah I know we will," Gatomon said, "I just have a few things on my mind at the moment."
Tai pulls out his d-terminal and sends a message to TK's d-terminal, "I just sent a message to TK inviting him here," Tai said.
Meanwhile with Matt and TK, "What's that noise," Patamon asked.
"That's my d-terminal going off saying that it has a message," TK said, "It's in your pocket at the moment Patamon and I can't reach it right now so you have to look at it."
"Alright," Patamon said pulling it out of his pocket and opening it, "There's a message from Tai inviting us over to his place."
"Ok then lets go," TK said, "I wonder why Tai invited us?"
