Sorry for the late update!

The television glowed and all the digidestineds popped out piling on top on another. Izzy looked them with a nice sweatdrop on his head, silently thankful that he had noticed their return and quickly moved out of the way. He watched them amusingly as they detangle themselves from each other limbs groaning.

"So.what happened?" Izzy asked noticing how quiet Tai and TK became.

The others looked at each other and Izzy solemnly.

"While I was monitoring you guys for a while, there was a time when you guys disappeared from my sight. Someone, I think, blocked your digivice's signal for a while." Izzy said.

"Yeah.we were rescued from the attack and were pulled to another dimension to prevent the enemy from tracking us." Yolei said quietly.

"Who pulled you guys out from the attack?" Izzy continued to question and saw Tai flinched a little.

"The 'Kari' that spoke us 3 years ago when Matt and I were fighting. Remember?" Tai said facing Izzy with red eyes.

"I remember.did you find Kari?"

"Umm....." everyone murmured.

"Well?" Izzy said impatiently.

"Yes, we did find Kari but she's not the same anymore.she turned evil like my previous self, the self that I hate." Ken punched the ground.

"Quit it!" Davis caught Ken's arm in midair. "We are supposed to make a plan to save Kari!"

"But how.seems so hopeless."Cody looked at the ground. Davis looked around at everyone disgustedly.

"Hey! We never give up when anything bad happened! Remember Mummymon and Arukenimon (not sure about spelling), we defeated them and save Ken! And we not to give up now!" Davis stood up. "Come on guys, Kari's our friend and she needs our help. The 'Kari' said that she's trapped."

"Davis is right!" TK also stood up. "She wouldn't give up if we are in trouble. Tai." TK touched Tai's shoulder, "Get up and together let's get your sister back."

Everyone stood up with newfound determination and again placed their hands in the middle. Tai looked at TK's hand and everyone's faces. With a weak smile and a sad sigh, Tai stood up and joined them.

"Oh yeah! One more thing, Tai, Ken.you stay on the real world." Davis said.

"Why?!" Tai and Ken said.

"One: Tai, this is too emotional for you. Two: Ken, this might bring back some unpleasant memories."

"That doesn't matter! I have to help my little sister!" Tai shouted.

"Chill. You'll need to explain to your mom and also, we might need backup so stay." Davis puts up a thumbs-up and winked.

"But." Ken started.

"Davis is right. You two should stay here in case this gets worse." TK grinned.

"O-Okay."

/// Kari, your next mission is to infect all of Primary Village's digi-eggs and digimon. ///

The dark robed figure held out a triangular prism stick that radiated some sparks. Kari took it and her digivice absorbed it.

/// All you need to do is scan the eggs and digimon and soon we will have a whole army of darkness at our command. ///

"Right." Kari dully replied.

/// You are also to destroy any digimon that is pathetically weak and useless and if the digidestineds get in your way.digitized them with your sword."

Kari looked up excitedly. "Acknowledged."

((( ..... ))) The other dark figure peeked quietly. ((( I still have doubts.)))

"I got bad news everyone.Kari is scanning all the digimon and eggs in Primary Village. She's turning all the digimon evil." Izzy quickly said typing and looking at various sections of the digital world.

"Let's go!" Davis, Yolei, TK, and Cody shouted and the computer transported them to the digital world.

Meanwhile, Kari was finishing up the remanding digi-eggs that just appeared from the stormy sky. With a flashing of lightning, it began to rain. Kari silently chucked to herself as the digidestineds appeared.

"What took you so long digidestineds? You are too late anyway because I just finish scanning the remanding digi-eggs." Kari brushed a stand of soaking raven black hair and grabbed her sword out her sheath. "But you are just in time for me to finish you off."

"Wait!" TK suddenly said.

Kari stopped to everyone's surprise. "What? Do you have last words?"

"A matter of fact, I do. Why are you doing this Kari? You would have protected the digimon with your life before. What cause you to be in such hatred?"

"Like you needed to ask." Kari sneered. "If you think talking will save you measly lives, then you are mistaken. You are only delaying the inevitable."

"Kari, no.the good Kari underneath all this darkness.wake up!" TK shouted. The Crest of Hope in his heart glowed.

TK suddenly turned transparent and disappeared along with Kari.

"TK!" everyone shouted. The rain continued to pour. Lighting and thunder cracked the sky.

"Oh no.don't tell me we lost TK as well." Yolei slumped to the damp ground.

"TH! You better come back! Where are you!" Davis stomped at the ground. "Man! This makes no sense at all. First light becomes dark and now hope disappears."

"Where could they have gone.." Cody whispered.

"Kari." TK whispered and reached out a transparent hand towards the dark girl.

"Where have you brought us!" Kari growled angrily pointing the glowing sword at TK.

"Some where that we can talk." TK gently said. Kari almost dropped her sword.

"Don't give up hope Kari." TK reached into his transparent body and pulled out the Crest of Hope.

The crest glowed warmly. Kari tried to turn away but the light from the crest drew her to it. TK picked up the crest and placed it on Kari's forehead. Light enveloped Kari's body.

"Take it off!" Kari shrieked. "I don't want to remember this pain!" Kari dropped to knees and gripped her sword tightly.

"Let me help you please!" TK pulled Kari face in front of his own. "The darkness has brainwashed you."

Kari blinked and jerked away. She snatched the crest off her forehead and threw it back to TK.

"Dark did brainwash me. So be it. At least it gave me comfort when I am hated by all of you." Kari bitterly said.

"What do you mean?"

"You guys didn't need me.I was weak! I was annoying! I was pathetic!" Kari screamed.

"I would never say that to you!" TK responded.

"Liar!" Kari grabbed her sword and started to swing it at TK.

TK stood here smiling. Kari stopped her blade two inches above TK's head.

"Are you crazy!"

"No."

"Then fight me!"

"No thanks." TK walked over to a surprise Kari. Kari began to stagger back. TK caught hold of her arm and pulled her to him in a hug. Kari dropped her sword.

"W-What are you doing! Release me now!" Kari struggled.

"You are not alone. I will always be here for you. Now let your true self out." TK softly said.

"Ha aha ha.this is my true self. What's wrong? Won't you accept me like this?" Kari pulled out a hidden dagger and stab TK and yank the dagger back out.

TK grunted and fell on the ground. The transparency around his body faded and bright red blood started to flow from the wound of his stomach. Kari looked at the dagger smeared with the crimson blood shining brightly in her sword's glow.

"I am the Child of Darkness. Light and Dark are opposite sides of the coin and yet everyone cares about the Light. Everyone hates the darkness. To make all of you acknowledge my existence, I created two dark beings who were to plant painful memories into Light and make her surrender to me." Kari laughed. "Soon I'll eat Light's soul and I'll take over her body." Kari said to TK. "Did you know that the opposite side of the Crest of Light is 'my' crest, the Crest of Darkness." Kari licked the bloody dagger to TK's horror.

"I-I think I understand you now." TK winced. "You are not evil at all. You were lonely that your opposite twin has friends and yet you didn't. You were sad."

"Quiet!" Kari picked up her glowing sword and impaled TK. TK yelled and coughed up more blood. "I don't need sympathy from you." And she wrenched the sword out.

"Kari.." TK whispered and became silent.

The area around them faded back into Primary Village and the rain hasn't slowed at all. Yolei, Davis and Cody were shocked to see TK's lifeless body on the ground. Kari watched as they ran over to TK crying. The rain washed the blood off from her silver blade.

"TK! Wake up!" Yolei choked shaking him.

"TK.You can't die!" Cody reached for TK's pale hand. "Get up."

"Oh god.TK.hope.I.uh." Davis stuttered. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted grasping his head, clutching it

Kari stood at the side looking. They didn't even see her. She stood there looking at TK emotionlessly. The rain dripped off from her face.

"What's this?" Kari looked up and saw red rain falling from the sky.

Yolei, Cody, Davis and the remaining digimon looked at the red rain falling from the sky.

"The heavens mourn for the loss of Hope." the digimon said looking at TK.

Davis grabbed one of the digimon. "TK's not dead!"

Kari stared at the scene and felt something salty entered her mouth. Her fingers touched her cheek. It was red but even red water shouldn't be salty. Her grabbed her sword and saw her reflection. Her navy eyes are pooled with tears.

"Am I actually crying.?" Dark Kari whispered.
