Chapter 23: The Recurring Darkness
T.K slowly got up. After laying Kari on the floor he decided to take a look around. T.K had found some half destroyed buildings on his search shattered glass lay on the floor from the half destroyed buildings, leafs had been burnt off of the trees and T.K felt a dark presence in the air. Once he arrived back to Kari and the others he saw that both Kari and Tai were awake. Matt was holding Sora in his arms because of her leg injuries. T.K looked over at Matt, T.K slowly closed his eyes in disappointment, if he hadn't of acted the way he did Hunter wouldn't of done all of that and wouldn't have sent them to wherever they are.
"I'm sorry about what has happened, I could have defused this situation years ago if I hadn't of acted the way I did towards Hunter." T.K said, he sounded sad. His facial expression suggested that he was depressed about something. Kari looked up at her husband. She looked confused she then asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"What happened Takeru is there something you didn't ever tell us?" Kari sounded worried, she had all the reason to be worried since the thing that happened between them was most likely based off of her.
"I don't want to tell you... It's far too grim for your liking Kari. If you knew about the things that happened Kari we wouldn't be a couple at all because of your kind heart." T.K slowly stated. He still sounded worried. He started to slowly open his eyes.
"So T.K do you know where we are?" Matt asked. Sora had fallen asleep in his arms while T.K was gone. Her legs were in a bad state and due to some injuries she couldn't move.
"I don't know where we are, all I found was some destroyed buildings. Nothing that I could use to distinguish the area we are actually in." T.K answered back. Agumon and the other Digimon were all awake now. T.K helped Kari up. He smiled at her but she didn't smile back at him, she seemed so distant even though she was so close. "Kari?" T.K asked as he looked into her eyes. She didn't reply and she soon moved away from T.K.
"So what's the plan then?" Tai asked as he pulled himself up. He looked over at Matt and Sora. He had recently fallen out with them after an event that had happened at Kari and T.K's wedding party. Matt stared back at Tai annoyed.
"I don't know Tai what is the plan? Kill me and make Sora fall in love with you? That's the kind of crap I expect from you now!" Matt barked back. He sounded so annoyed. T.K knew that if he wasn't holding Sora both Matt and Tai would be in a fight with each other.
"Look now is not the time to fight you two!" Agumon shouted as he ran in between them. Gabumon was next to him.
"Yeah Agumon is right, now is not the time to fight, we should be thinking about how we need to get out of here. Sora would say the same thing." Gabumon said in agreement with Agumon. Tai then looked at Agumon.
"I'm sorry Agumon but I can't comply too that. My feelings for Sora are too strong. She deserves someone who loves her." Tai quietly said. However he didn't sound nervous. Matt shook his head in disagreement to Tai's statement.
"So let me get this straight you love Sora? Why didn't you ever tell me?" Matt asked. He sounded annoyed as well. However T.K didn't care about that. His wife wasn't talking to him. He only had one choice. He had to tell her the whole story about Hunter otherwise she wouldn't trust him ever again.
"Please listen to me Kari, I can tell you the whole story." T.K said after building up the courage to say it. Matt and Tai stopped arguing and looked over at T.K. It seems the two of them wanted to know as well.
"Fine then I'm listening..." Kari replied back. Her arms were crossed and she was facing away from T.K. Her tone of voice made her sound annoyed. T.K took a deep breath and then started to tell everyone about his past with Hunter.
"I first met Hunter before he went to our school, I was walking home from school when he showed himself. He asked me about you Kari and told me to get you to like him I however refused. He then threw me against a wall and asked again. I again told him no I wouldn't do that, I wasn't sure what to do at the time so I just ran home and locked my door. I kept meeting him every day for the next four weeks. He always asked about you Kari. I would've told you but he threatened me with a knife every day." T.K told all of them. Slowly his facial expression dropped. Kari looked over at T.K. Her facial expression dropped as well. Kari then asked the question that everyone that was on everyone's mind.
"Why didn't you tell us? We could've helped you out in some way." Kari slowly said as she lowered her crossed arms. Matt and Tai had started to focus all their attention on T.K. Kari started to slowly walk towards her husband.
"I was too scared too. Frankly I didn't want you involved... Any of you... Think about it, it'd would've been better me getting killed then putting any of you in dan-..." T.K then got interrupted by his brother. Matt still had Sora in his arms.
"Look I don't mean to interrupt this deep conversation but we should get moving. We don't even know where we are!" Matt suggested. The way he said it made him sound worried. T.K looked behind him and glanced forward. He saw a shadowy figure among the trees. T.K quickly glanced back at the others.
"You guys run, I'll catch up!" T.K commanded. Tai, Matt and all of the Digimon ran in the direction. Matt still had Sora in his arms. Kari looked back at T.K with an adamant look on her face. T.K knew she wouldn't listen to what he had to say.
"I forgive you Takeru, I'm sorry about that it's just... I was worried about you Takeru." Kari said to T.K. She slowly walked towards him and put her arms around him and the two went into an embrace. Suddenly there was a sound of dead leafs crunching on the floor. T.K turned around to see a man standing there. He was wearing a black cloak, his legs looked metallic. His face was covered by a dark red mask.
"Who are you?" T.K asked. Kari looked up confused at T.K. She was unaware that there was someone standing behind her. T.K didn't stop looking at the person standing behind Kari.
"T.K what's going on?" Kari asked as she turned around. She then turned around to see the person standing there. She wasn't sure what to say something about him seemed familiar but at the same time he didn't feel trust worthy.
"Tell me who are you!" T.K shouted out. He put his arms around Kari in a protective manner. The mask person just looked at them, expressionless it was as if he wasn't human. Kari started to move back. The masked man then moved his head slightly to the side.
"So it is you? It's been so many decades. Yet you haven't aged? I suppose you want to what happened here, why everything is a wreak. Follow me and I can show you." The masked man said. T.K then glanced back towards the direction Tai and Matt had gone and then looked back at the mask man.
"We have to go get some of our friends. Then we can-..." T.K was interrupted by the masked man.
"We already have Matt, Sora and Tai so there is no need to worry over them. They are at the human base." The masked figure told them. T.K and Kari nodded at each other in agreement. They didn't even say a word to each other.
"Ok then we'll follow you, let's see your base. Then maybe you can tell us where we are and what has happened here..." T.K said. The masked figure then walked forward. T.K and Kari followed. Kari holding firmly onto T.K's hand, she was nervous about what was about to happen. The masked figure then lead them through a destroyed town and then lead them down some subway stairs. Then they walked through a half destroyed train, they soon found themselves in a barely lit room with loads of people inside of it. It was like this was their home now, families everywhere. The masked figure lead them to a separate room. Inside the room there was a blacked haired man standing there looking at a map. T.K and Kari could only see the back of him. He was wearing a blue scarf and green trousers and a green overcoat.
"Sir I have brought the two you asked for." The masked figure said. The blue scarf wearing man didn't turn around but still replied back.
"Ok you've done your duty, now please leave." The man said his voice sounded again familiar. The masked figure then walked out of the room. T.K looked over at Kari.
"Why are we here?" Kari asked, her voice suggested that she was scared. T.K looked over at the man with the blue scarf.
"Well I was once a member of the Digi-destined." The man said as he turned around. He looked like Ian but a bit older and had stubble around his chin. He pulled out a spear which looked exactly liked Ian's spear. T.K connected something in his mind. This place seemed so familiar. A man who looks like an older Ian right in front of them and hundreds of destroyed buildings.
"Have we gone into the future?" T.K asked. The man with the blue scarf looked at them and nodded.
"You haven't aged a bit but everyone else has. You are properly don't know why everything is destroyed. Do you really want to know?" The man asked T.K and Kari both nodded. The man then pulled out a picture from a cabinet.
"What's that a picture of?" Kari politely asked. The man then passed her over the picture. It was a picture that was taken at Kari and T.K's wedding, it had all of the Digi-Destined on it.
"That's the last picture we were all in before the five of you disappeared. To think we can never have a picture like that again." The man said. T.K looked over at him confused.
"Wait what do you mean we can never have a photo like that again? None of these people have died have they?" T.K asked. The man looked away and then sighed. He then looked back at the two of them.
"Nearly all of them have died. There are about four of us left. I consider Axel dead because he's gone insane, he tried to kill me a while back and I don't know why. If I say he's dead I am referring to his mental mind." The man said. Kari put the picture on a desk that was in the middle of the room.
"Do you mind telling us what happened to them? I think we should be told how everyone died." Kari demanded. The man who claimed to be Ian gave them a reassuring smile and pulled out a book.
"What's in that book?" T.K asked. He grabbed Kari's hand and gripped it, he wasn't sure how people were going to have been killed. The man who claimed to be Ian opened the book and started reading it out to them.
"Lucas was the first person to be killed. He saved all of us but was shot in the back by Hunter. He was killed on day fourteen. Then all of our Digimon were killed at the end of day fourteen when the army of Devimon rose. Axel was the next to be killed two years later. He tried to save a group of people who Hunter had taken. Hunter started to work for Wire and they formulated a formula that uses Digimon's abilities. Both Hunter and Axel had the formula injected into them. The two of them fought using the ground beneath them. Axel couldn't stop Hunter's final blast and Emily was killed as well but that wasn't Axel's fault. Davis was caught by Wire and killed in Wire's main base at the same time as Axel. Yolei and Ken were then killed one year later when they tried to fight Piedmon by themselves. Mimi died a couple of days later because she couldn't take it anymore and she didn't want to face it. She handed herself to a Devimon and was killed by them. Joe was killed on the front line when he was trying to save a half dead Cody from the fight. The two of them were killed by Wire when he drained their energy. Of course you two, Tai, Matt and Sora disappeared a couple of days before the first death. Only myself, Catherine and Izzy are still alive. I have no idea what happened to Kurai." Ian told them. He closed the book and then put it back into the cabinet. T.K couldn't help but wonder if Ian told them the truth behind all of the deaths.
"I'm confused, who are you against because you said Wire, Devimon and Piedmon. Who is the main villain?" T.K asked. He hadn't looked back at Kari who had tears dropping from her eyes. Hearing how everyone had died had upset her.
"We had to face all three we were in a four way war. Recently though Wire has been killed, we found his weakness. But we can still win this war!" The older Ian enthusiastically said as he walked out of the room. T.K and Kari briefly smiled at each other.
"At least he still has his enthusiasm. I suppose that's all you'd need to keep fighting in this hell hole." T.K said to Kari. Kari then kissed T.K on the cheek and smiled at him.
"So I assume you guys want to see the remaining Digi-destined don't you?" Ian asked as he walked back in the room holding a photo. He then passed it over to Kari.
"Wait Ian is this your wedding?" Kari asked as she looked down at the photo. The photo had a picture of him with his arms around a blonde haired girl who looked familiar. Kari passed the photo to T.K so he could see it. On further inspection they found that the girl in the picture was Catherine.
"So you married Catherine?" T.K asked. Ian looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Well me and Catherine started to like each other four years after Emily died. I'm so glad that me and Catherine got married, we've been together for about fourteen years. We have three kids as well. C'mon lets go then." Ian said. However T.K shook his head.
"What happened here? The world is at war, what the hell happened!" T.K shouted. Ian shut the door and then sighed again.
"Day fourteen went horribly wrong, Wire attacked and finished his formula. This was the same formula that both me and Lucas had the prototype formula put into us. But on day fourteen he made it so that it could stay forever and it had the power of a Digimon, the first one was Digmon's power. Both Hunter and Axel had that one. Axel was new to using it that's why he couldn't save Emily." Ian explained. T.K suddenly became angry.
"And why did Axel gain those powers huh? Why would he do that!" T.K shouted over at Ian. Ian then walked towards T.K. Ian had become angry.
"We didn't have a leader did we? Davis tried but was taken far too early before he could do anything! Axel injected himself with the formula after he tried to steal it so that we could learn about it! He of course gave the rest of the formula's he stole to someone to bring back here but you know he had to stop Hunter from finding us!" Ian shouted back. T.K looked back at Ian confused.
"What's the matter Ian? Having something hang on your conscience?" T.K asked. Ian looked away and shut his eyes and sighed. He then opened his eyes and looked at T.K.
"Right now we have a war between the dark masters and all of the Devimon. They've luckily been fighting each other recently so we've been able to prepare ourselves. However this should have never happened. You five need to go back with you Digimon and make the correct choice. If you change the past this won't happen and th-..." Suddenly the door opened and a girl walked in. She had long red hair. Everyone in the room looked at her confused.
"Sir we've had report of an earthquake, this one appeared when the dark masters were fighting the Devimon. We've confirmed that anyone on the field has been killed. All of the main dark masters were there, and the remaining Devimon as well." The girl informed. Ian looked at T.K confused. T.K's crest was shining. Ian then looked over at Kari's and it was doing the exact same thing.
"What's up with your crests you guys?" Ian asked. T.K and Kari both looked down at their crests. They only thought they shined when a Digimon used it to Digivolve.
"I have no idea Ian..." T.K replied back as he grabbed it. The girl then walked over to Ian's cabernet and looked at the picture of everyone together. She then closed her eyes.
"Father the earthquake killed all of my trusted troops. I can take this anymore! Father can I give you the communicator I don't want to hold it anymore, my troops died, my friends..." The girl said as she passed Ian the communicator. Ian looked back at her with a frown. Just as she turned around and started to walk out the communicator started to make sounds. It sounded like it was tuning itself to something. Soon someone's voice could be heard coming from the other end of the communicator.
"You can't protect them, you can't ever keep a promise. I've killed millions and you're next Ian!" A voice said from the other side of the communicator. Ian looked down at the communicator with a worried expression. Ian pressed down on the speak button without noticing. T.K looked over at Ian confused.
"Who's that Ian? Who would want to kill you?" T.K asked. He still had full grip of Kari's hand. Ian looked back shamefully at T.K and Kari, it was almost as if something was bothering his conscience.
"That was Axel several decades gone and he's insane, you were never supposed to see it. With the formula Wire made Axel can destroy the floor around him, control it. The battlefield where the earthquake happened wasn't too far away. That most likely means Axel is coming this way. We need to get you and your friends out of here. Fast! If Axel kills any of you it could ruin what could be called a 'perfect' future." Ian quickly explained. The girl who was in the room with them had disappeared. T.K noticed that the door was half opened so she must've walked out. Ian quickly walked out of the room followed by T.K and Kari. Everyone in the base was frantically moving around. Families all running out, the three of them soon came across the older Izzy and with him Matt, Sora, Tai and all of their Digimon. Patamon and Gatomon ran over to their Digi-destined.
"Hey guys, I never thought we'd appear in the future? Did you Yamato?" Sora asked. Sora was still in Matt's arms. Matt shook his head. Ian then looked back at Kari and T.K.
"We need to get you five out of here. You need to stop day fourteen from releasing the Devimon. You are the only five who can. Without you everything went wrong." Ian told them. He sounded serious. Izzy then put his hand in the air.
"You guys should follow me. I'll take you out the back entrance!" The older Izzy told everyone. Ian nodded in agreement and started to walk off to the front of the base. Kari grabbed T.K's arm.
"Are you ready to go? Takeru please don't tell me you're going to go with Ian, Axel will kill you if you do." Kari said to T.K. T.K looked down at her with a smile on his face. It was his arrogant smile that suggested that he was going to do whatever he could. Kari had grown fond of the smile but now T.K was going to do something stupid and childish.
"Don't worry I'll be fine. Trust me, Patamon I need you to look after Kari for me. I'll be right back." T.K instructed to Patamon. Patamon nodded back. T.K then ran forward to go and catch up with the older Ian. Kari looked over at Tai.
"Tai can you go and ensure he doesn't do anything stupid!" Kari shouted at her older brother. Tai nodded and followed T.K with Agumon at his side. "Patamon I think you should go as well, I know Takeru would disagree but if he's going to do something so stupid and so thoughtless then I think he needs to be protected." Kari said to Patamon. Patamon then nodded at Kari and flew off to go to T.K.
"Why did you do that Kari?" Matt asked. He sounded confused.
"Takeru is going to need all of the help he can get. No matter how hard I try he won't listen to me. Sometimes I'm worried he doesn't listen to me. Maybe he doesn't love me..." Kari said to Matt as they started to walk out of the backdoor of the main base.
"Don't worry Kari Matt's like that as well, I've told him so many times that he could do whatever he wants. At college he learnt about becoming an astronaut but he hasn't taken it yet. I think he should to be honest but he wouldn't listen to me about it Plus we all know T.K loves you I can remember when me and Matt looked after him he wouldn't shut up about you.." Sora said to Kari. Kari looked down disillusioned. She saw Gatomon looking up at her. Gatomon had a reassuring smile on her face.
"T.K will be fine, he always is trust me Kari." Gatomon said up to Kari. Kari smiled back a bit but then looked away.
"I at least would've thought he would say he loved me before he left." Kari muttered out. Gatomon sighed and moved into Kari's sight.
"He loves you Kari. I think he wants to protect you. Just let him do his thing." Gatomon said. Kari looked down with a fake smile.
"Sure he is..." Kari muttered to herself. The group continued to follow the old version Izzy.
T.K was running forward trying to catch up to the future Ian. He didn't want Kari to be in any trouble, of course maybe keeping the future Axel busy was a bad idea, but maybe he could talk some sense into him. All of these thoughts were running through T.K's head. T.K finally found the entrance he came in through when the masked figure walked them down. Surprisingly he didn't see Ian anywhere. There was someone standing there. He had brown hair which was short, he was wearing a black trench coat that was covered in dust. His jeans were dark black and he was wearing black army standard boots. Underneath his coat he was also wearing a brown t-shirt. T.K could tell this was the future Axel. T.K walked into his sight after picking up a metal bar that most likely came from one of the half destroyed buildings. T.K looked over at the future Axel.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you just leave!" T.K shouted over to the figure. The older Axel started to walk forward holding a smirk on his face. His fists were strongly clenched. T.K ran over to him ready to hit him with the metal pole. Just before he attacked he felt the ground move below him. He found he couldn't jump. "What are you doing!" T.K screamed out. He felt his life flash before his eyes. T.K started to panic and dropped the pole. The older Axel still had the smirk on his face.
"So you survived? Well look at that. I bet you've already met Ian, which means he has told you I am his enemy." The older Axel said in his analysing tone. He then laughed a little bit. He then went back and pulled his serious face.
"Why Axel? What did all of those people do to you?" T.K asked in a very rushed tone, the pace in between his words weren't always there so some of the words sounded rushed.
"All of those so called people killed everyone I cared about. Everyone I cared about was killed because of Ian, because of this damn virus!" The older Axel shouted. Losing control the older Axel punched the ground.
"What are you talking about? Killed them?" T.K asked. He still couldn't move his legs out of the ground. The older Axel then got up and started to laugh.
"He killed everyone close to me, most likely for revenge!" Axel shouted at T.K, his temper had gone. Axel then pulled out his Digivice. T.K was confused. When he looked at the screen he saw there was a massive scratch going through it. Several of the buttons had fallen off as well.
"What happened to your Digivice?" T.K asked. Axel threw it up in the air and then caught it in his hand. He then pulled out his crest.
"My Digivice was broken when I fought Hunter, but the reason I hate Ian is because he started to experiment with things he doesn't understand, he put Wire's formula into thousands of people hoping to make the humans strong. However because of his failure the humans lost ranks. Soon we were the weakest of the four armies." The older Axel started explaining.
"Wait he put Wire's formula into people?" T.K asked, he was still confused and now wasn't sure who the villain was. Axel may have killed all of those Digimon but Ian killed people who trusted him.
"Oh well now I get to kill the blin-..." Axel was interrupted by a ball of fire hitting him in the leg. Axel jumped back while T.K looked back to see Tai there with Agumon and Patamon.
"Don't worry T.K we're here to help you." Tai said reassuringly to T.K. Axel moved back into his normal standing stance and put his hands on the ground.
"Feel the earth crumble beneath your very feet!" The older Axel insanely shouted. Tai looked down to see the floor coming apart. Tai and the two Digimon quickly moved out of the way. Both Agumon and Patamon used their basic attacks to keep the future Axel away from Tai. Axel went flying back and landed on his front. He looked knocked out.
"T.K are you ok?" Tai asked as he ran over to T.K and tried to pull him out of the ground that Axel had stuck him in.
"Tai tell Kari that I'm sorry for doing this to her, it's just I think Axel is going to kill me." T.K calmly said to Tai. Tai shook his head in disagreement.
"Whatever happens T.K I'm going to help you, you share a love with my sister that I thought would be impossible. I owe you a thanks, now c'mon let's kill this futuristic psycho!" Tai said trying to encourage T.K. Tai looked over at the future Axel who had pulled himself up.
"Patamon I think you need to Digivolve!" T.K quickly commanded. Patamon nodded and started to digivolve. However before the evolution had finished he was hit by the ground which had changed shape briefly. Patamon landed on the floor and was now unconscious.
"Like I'm letting any Digimon digivolve, I feel that I should just kill the four of you. But of course I like playing games with the gravel god gave us. Of course Ian never told you about what happened to Kurai did he?" Axel said as he clenched his fists together. Soon another wave of the Earth beneath them came flying towards them. Agumon quickly burnt the area around T.K's legs. The three of them quickly dodged the attack. T.K also grabbed Patamon on the run.
"What did he do to Kurai?" Tai asked. He generally sounded worried, T.K thought that Kurai and Tai were alright friends but at the same time he knew that Ian hadn't exactly been straight with them. Axel laughed back at Tai's question.
"How do you think he powers the whole base? He keeps it hidden from the enemy because he shrouds it in darkness. Kurai has been put in the generator!" Axel shouted at them. Tai and T.K looked at each other worried, just then they heard a familiar voice.
"We had too. Don't judge me for what I did. It's like I had to make Axel a thieve." Ian said. He didn't really have much of a tone in his voice. In fact it was almost like he was upset with himself.
"There we go the maker of war has arrived. Now time to teach you a lesson you'll never forget!" Axel shouted as he ran towards Ian. Ian ran back at him. Soon the two were throwing punches at each other. Ian threw a right hook and sent Axel flying onto the floor. However Axel quickly used his power to his advantage and soon Ian was in the ground with his head sticking out. It reminded T.K of when a carrot is ready to be pulled out of the ground.
"So what are you going to do now you've defeated me? Let me free?" Ian asked. His voice sounded hopeful, it was almost as if he thought his was a joke.
"I'm going to bury you alive. You're going to feel pain for all of the people you killed I as-..." Axel was interrupted half way through. Another fire ball hit him. This time it was on the arm and part of his coat had caught alight.
"Sorry Axel but we need to get home, only Ian can do that..." Tai angrily said. Axel looked at him with another of his smirks. T.K noticed that Axel had clenched his hand.
"Tai watch out, Axel is going to try and bury you." T.K shouted. Tai and Agumon quickly took evasive steps to ensure they weren't hit by the ground below them. Tai ran up to Axel.
"So you want to fight too? Looks like I'm going to be a murderer again today." The future Axel said with a sense of sarcasm to his voice. Tai threw the first punch at him and saw Axel jump back in pain. However before Tai could do anything he felt the earth shaking around him. Just then Tai's crest started shining. The future Axel went to punch him and a light started to shine from his chest it was his crest. Suddenly there was a really bright light. T.K shielded his eyes. When he looked back both the future Axel and Tai had both disappeared along with Agumon. T.K looked down at Ian.
"Y'know what, I want to talk to Kurai Ian. I have a theory why we were dragged here." T.K said to Ian in a harsh tone of voice. Ian didn't even look up at him. It was most likely from disappointment but T.K couldn't tell.
"Saint! Take T.K and the others to our power source!" Ian shouted. T.K was in shock from hearing that name. Soon the masked figure who had taken T.K into the base showed up. T.K had felt he couldn't trust it before. Saint then nodded at T.K and proceeded taking him into the base. On the way there they came across Kari, Matt, Sora and their Digimon. Kari smiled at T.K and then ran and hugged him. T.K shut his eyes and then said the words that had been on his mind.
"I love you Kari, I love you so much!" T.K quickly said to Kari. But before they could finish their hug Saint started to speak.
"As part of my promise to Wire one of you has to fight me to see her. Oh and as you might've guessed Wire manipulated Ian without him realising. However because of Axel Wire was killed on the very Earth he hated. Now come on fight me crest holders!" Saint said. He took off his mask and his cloak, it was still the boy who became a robot who they had fought before.
"Saint you don't want to do this, Wire tricked you we can help you." Matt said. He sat Sora on the floor so that she was out of the way. He then walked up to him.
"I'll let you have first move. What are you going to do punch me or are you going to defend yourself?" Saint arrogantly asked. Matt put his hand on Saint's shoulder.
"No I'm going to press the off switch button." Matt said as he flicked the switch on Saint's back. Saint fell down to the ground, his whole system shut down he wasn't going to annoy anyone else.
"Matt how did you know that he had an off switch?" T.K asked as he walked towards the wall that Saint had been protecting. He had passed Patamon to Kari. He pressed his palms on the wall and put his ear against it. On the other side he heard someone screaming out in pain.
"Someone is screaming on the other side, we need to get through." T.K said. Matt looked down at Gabumon and Biyomon. The two started to attack the wall. T.K picked up Patamon and watched as the wall fell apart. On the other side there was a black haired girl sitting. Her crest was shining. She looked up at the four Digi-destined.
"You saved me?" The girl asked as she pulled herself up. Matt picked up Sora while T.K and Kari moved closer together.
"You're one of us Kurai, how long have you been down here?" T.K asked. Kurai glanced back at the room she had been locked in for as long as she could remember. She then looked back at T.K and Kari.
"I've been down here as long as I can remember. It must've been over twenty five years." Kurai told the group, she then noticed Patamon was knocked out. "What happened to Patamon?" Kurai asked. T.K then looked down at Patamon and sighed.
"We came across the future Axel, he attacked us, Patamon got hit by one of his attacks." T.K said. Gatomon looked up at Patamon and then jumped onto T.K's cap. Once she was on his hat she looked down at Patamon who was still out cold.
"Pata... What happened to you?" Gatomon asked. T.K then placed Patamon on the floor and Gatomon the n jumped off of his cap. T.K then stood back up and looked over at Kari. He quickly kissed her on the cheek and then started to talk with the future Kurai again.
"The future Axel was going to save me, he was the only person who checked on me daily when he was allowed in the base. Ian killed everyone close to him on day seventy two. Of course Axel came up with a plan. He tricked Hunter into fighting him and then injected himself with the formula. Axel knew basically everything he needed to about the formula. After defending himself and killing Hunter he decided to run because Ian would've killed him. Ian went back to his Wire routes. He didn't care about people's feelings. He only cared about winning the war. I talked to Axel from here using the shroud of darkness and I kept him hidden as well. He's my friend." Kurai said to the group with a smile on her face.
"But Axel went back to the past and most likely is going to kill everyone who had some dark secret in this future." T.K urgently said. Kurai looked back at T.K with a worried expression on her face.
"Who did Axel clash with then? It must've been another crest holder." Kurai asked. She sounded worried.
"It was Tai, the two of them disappeared. I just assumed it was time travel..." T.K said. Kari looked at T.K worried. Her brother had disappeared with someone who sounded insane.
"That would be me, my crest grew more powerful. If I trust people I can make them do certain things. With Axel and apparently Tai I made them go back to a couple of hours before day fourteen started. Me and a couple of the other destined were at my apartment and when day fourteen started we went straight to work. I can't teleport you to the exact same place I teleported Axel and Tai but I can teleport you too day fourteen it's self. Would that be ok?" Kurai suggested. T.K looked at everybody and nodded.
"I think that would be the best choice. Also don't let Ian boss you around, he's been put in the ground once, why don't you stick him in there yourself?" T.K suggested in a sarcastic tone, Kurai grew a small smile on her face but that was short lived as her face went serious again.
"Just touch your crests together and you can teleport away. Also thank you for coming to my call. I really needed your help. I sent out three messages, and everyone I called upon came. Thank you." Kurai said to all of them. She had a faint smile on her face. The group all grabbed their partner Digimon and then touched their crest together. The blinding light that appeared when Axel and Tai teleported then appeared and the four of them disappeared. Matt and Sora's crests touched while T.K and Kari's did. After the blinding light disappeared Kurai looked up to see all four of them and their partner Digimon had disappeared. Just then Kurai heard footsteps. The older Izzy then walked in.
"Kurai you're alive? I got your message. What happened to you, you haven't aged a bit." Izzy commented after he asked his question. Kurai looked at him.
"Ian told you I had died so that he could cover up the fact that I was the generator for this place. Me and Axel had a plan in place to ensure this never happens." Kurai said to Izzy. Izzy gave back a trust worthy smile. He already knew what was going to happen in his head.
"You've taken some of that formula back in time haven't you? you intend to give to Axel early so that he can stop the Devimon and dark masters on day fourteen right?" Izzy asked. He had an arrogant tone to his voice. Kurai nodded and then told him.
"Don't worry by the time this is over you'll have Mimi back. This world won't have ever existed and the best part of it is Ian will be dead!" Kurai shouted out loud. Izzy then looked down and saw Saint next to the mask figures cloak and mask.
"Have we been working for Wire? All of this time? Ian will have some explaining to do." The older Izzy angrily said.
T.K and the others all pulled themselves up. Apart from Sora who still badly hurt. T.K looked around where they were, they were on top one of the skyscrapers in Tokyo city the sky was dark which suggested it was night time. But they weren't supposed to be here. T.K quickly looked back at Matt and Sora.
"We need to get out of here, I think they quickest way back will be through flying." T.K suggested. Kari grabbed his arm and looked at him confused.
"Surely we could just get the train back it would be quick and less effort for the Digimon." Kari said to T.K, he then shook his head in disagreement.
"Think about it, if our main enemy is who I think it is then it would be much safer to fly. Plus I believe Wire will have people looking for us. We need to make sure we are all there." T.K commanded. The others all looked back at him and nodded. They knew exactly what they had to do.
(A/N: Sorry about how long this took to update, there are two reasons why this hasn't been updated, the first reason is because I have been doing ICT coursework at school for about four weeks none stop. The second is that there was at first a chapter 23 made but I disliked it so I discarded it. It was at first going to feature Sirius and his friends but I decided against it at the last minute. Also regarding this story this is coming to its conclusion however there is going to be a sequel coming out straight after and also one that runs in a separate universe. It'll feature most of the main characters from this fan fiction however it'll be slightly different and the characters will be a bit different because of separate historical events happening. Main stream couples will be the same but other couples may differ.)
