Death By Darkness

Chapter Four

Karis eyes flickered open.

TK was leaning over her, a worried expression etched on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked.

Kari nodded. "What happened? To that mist I mean."

"It was obliterated after you attacked it," TK replied. "You saved the world, Kari."

Kari smiled. She found that she couldnt take her eyes away from her old friend. Her heart felt lighter than it had in a long time. She leaned forward and embraced him.

"Kari..."

Kari swung her head toward the deserted sidewalk. Blackwargreymon was lying there. His bright yellow eyes seemed dazed, weak. Gatomon looked like she was about to cry.

"Whats wrong?" Kari cried.

"The mist," Blackwargreymon replied faintly. "It was poison to dark Digimon like me. It has been slowly draining me ever since I arrived here."

"Youll be okay!" Kari cried, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Thank you," the Digimon said. "You helped me make my last moments worth living. Youre a strong person, Kari. Hold onto the light inside you. It is a powerful asset."

With that, Blackwargreymon disintergrated into billions of particles. Kari glared unbelievingly at the sight that met her.

She felt TK grasp her hand. He didnt need to speak. It was as if words werent needed for them to communication.

"Hes right, you know," TK finally said.

"About what?" Kari asked.

"Light. Its your greatest assest, Kari. Its what stopped the mist. Its what will change the world."

Kari gave him a faint smile. Perhaps TK was right. She knew he was right!

The setting sun shone orange on the four onlookers. It was a sign of beauty to them. It was a sign of light.
