Disclaimer: Sorry I'm taking so long to review. Usually I get a chapter out per week for each fic but I've had A LOT of things going on. Not to mention a fan asked me to write an alternate ending to FS which was not my best work. Anyway I hope you enjoy the chapter, it all goes downhill from here (at least for TK)

Chapter 3:

The Crest of Faith

TK entered his room and immediately opened his laptop and waited for it to load. Five minutes later he saw his Crest of Hope desktop and held his D3 up to the screen and yelled, "DigiPort open!" A bright flash came from the computer and blinded the digidestined. When he opened his eyes he found himself in a large damp room that reminded him of a dungeon though it was much larger and was adorned with ornaments and had a staircase in the corner of the room leading to an unseen upper level.

"TK!" a small voice called from below the child of hope. He looked down to see his partner smiling back at him. (I have no idea how the digimon always seem to appear wherever the digidestined is, let's just say when a digidestined enters the digital world their digimon is teleported to them)

"Patamon, do you know why we're here?" asked TK as his digimon flew into the air then perched on top of the blonde's hat.

"I don't know, maybe we should look around," Patamon suggested. TK began walking around the room and one of the first things he noticed was a glowing coming from a pedestal on the far wall. Once he reached the display TK realized what the source of the light was, on the table in front of him laid eight crests, 'How is this possible, they were destroyed eight years ago,' the teenager thought as he began looking for his own crest.

As the digidestined searched through the crests of his friends, his digimon spotted something strange, "Hey TK I don't remember that crest!" Patamon exclaimed as he pointed at a crest in the top row.

TK took a look at the yellow-orange crest. The symbol it bared reminded the blond of a strange compass. As he picked up the crest to get a closer look it began to shine brightly but almost immediately dimmed back down, "I've never seen it either, I wonder which one it is?"

"It's known as the Crest of Faith, it's one of the six lost crests of the digital world," a voice said from behind them.

TK turned to face who he assume was the one who called him and a look of horror spread over his face, "Ddd… Devimon, but you're supposed to be in digihell, I saw you there myself," the digidestined stuttered and slowly began backing up.

"Actually it's Icedevimon now, and yes I was in digihell at least until four years ago when your friend Ken released me, of course he also stole my wings and arms. I wondered aimlessly for over a month and I thought I was doomed to starve, then one day when the sky darkened and it seemed that the digital world was at its end when I saw a bright light in the sky, when I opened my eyes the barren land that had surrounded me were now lust and green and my limbs had returned. Then I saw a green crest a few feet away and reached out toward it, once it entered my hand I could feel a great power surge from inside me and I was granted the strength to digivolve into my Ultimate form. Ever since then I've been sought out the crests in order to digivolve into the form you see today. Just a few days ago I came across this and realized it was finally time for me to take my revenge on you for destroying me last time we met," the evil digimon explain then opened his fist to reveal the Crest of Hope.

"I see, you plan on defeating me using my own crest," TK said with false confidence.

"No though it would make things a lot easier, I figured my revenge wouldn't be quite as sweet unless I defeated you at full strength," Icedevimon smirked then tossed the crest to the digidestined who immediately slipped it around his neck and reached for his D3, "Now that that's settled, Zero Freeze," before the blond had a chance to digivolve his partner a beam of ice shot toward them and they began to run for their lives. (actually Patamon flew for his life XD)

As they ran run the continuous beam of ice that seemed to be following them a slight look of pain came across TK's face as he thought, "After all this is over I need to buy new shoes, sandals are not made for running." A moment later TK's hat flew off his head and was frozen in the digimon's attack, "Ok that's it nobody messes with my hat, Patamon warp digivolve!"

"Patamon warp digivolve to Seraphymon," the now mega-level digimon flew over to the still attacking digimon and launched his technique, "Seven Heavens."

Icedevimon was forced to stop attacking in order to avoid the strike. He stared down at the red faced blond and smirked, 'His rage is growing inside of him, it won't be long now until I can put the next stage of my plan into action,' the evil digimon thought then turned his attention back to his opponent, "I think it's time that we end this once and for all.

As the seemingly even matched opposing digimon battle it out he felt as if all of his nightmares since Angemon had been destroyed eight years earlier were coming true except instead of waking up in tears all he could feel inside was anger, "Seraphymon, destroy that bastard," yelled TK which was quickly followed by a simple nod.

'Finally his anger has peaked and my portal out of the digital world is finally open, now all I need to do is allow myself to be defeated,' Icedevimon thought.

The child of hope watched as the tides seemed to turn and Seraphymon launched his Testament attack and Icedevimon as reduced to data, 'Could that really be it, it seemed too easy,' TK thought then noticed that the evil digimon's data wasn't disappearing and before he could even blink the data seemed to swarm him and enter his mouth, the blond tried to scream for help but found he was unable to and found that he was unable to move the rest of his body as well. 'You're right that was easy,' a dark voice echoed in the digidestined's head as he felt an evil smirk creep over his face, 'What's going on, are you Devimon, please tell me your not,' 'I'm so pleased to disappoint you, and if you truly want to know what's going on then I'll tell you. I used you anger as a portal into your mind and now your body is mine. I realized a while ago that simply killing you wouldn't be enough to repay you for all the pain you've put me through and when my data has permanently bonded with your mind in one week's time you will feel the pain of watching your friends and all the digidestined die by your own hand,' Devimon told the teenager then made his new body walk over to a sheet of ice frozen on the wall and used it as a mirror to admire his new form.

"Hey TK are you alright?" the now rookie leveled digimon asked as he flew over and perched on his hatless head.

"Yeah I'm fine, I think I'd better be going," replied "TK" as he walked over to the small television and held his D3 up to it. A moment later Devimon found himself in TK's room and smiled at the thought that he was finally in the human world. He began looking around the room and spotted the picture of the digidestined on TK's desk and flipped it downward as he sneered. As he began walking toward the door he could feel something in his pocket and reached in to retrieve a peace of plastic baring his new name "Takeru Takaishi". As he entered the digidestined's memories to find out what it was a dazed look came over his face. A moment later he snapped out of his trance and put on a half-smile, "Now things are starting to get interesting."

Three Days Later

"Hey did anyone of you guys see Keru lately? He was suppose to meet me at the mall this weekend but he never showed up?" Kari asked as she approached Takato and Davis who were talking in front of the school.

"No, in fact we were supposed to arrange to go to the beach this weekend while the water is still warm but when I called Saturday, his mother she said he had been out since that morning," Davis told the brunette girl.

"He was probably hanging out with his Dad, TK told me he had come home Friday," Takato informed them and they all seemed to accept that as the right answer. About a minute after they heard a loud rumbling coming from up the street and could see a motorcycle heading in their direction and fast, within seconds it was only a few feet in front of them and the driver didn't seem like he had any intention of turning. Kari quickly braced herself for impact and closed her eyes shut. When she opened her eyes again the motorcycle was stopped sideways in front of her with large skid mark trails on the ground coming from the wheels.

"Hey bub what do you think you're doing?" Kari asked the motorcyclist. He appeared to be around her own age and everything he wore, from his clothes to his fingerless gloves, was black though the bag on his back was green.

"Sorry Kari I just figured I'd show off my new bike to my friends," the teenager replied as he took off his helmet to reveal a head of blonde hair, "Oh and sorry I wasn't around this weekend, I was busy getting my license to ride this thing." (I know it should take longer but I can't stall that long)

"Wow TK this thing is awesome, how did you afford it?" Takato asked as TK got off the bike.

"My dad got me a credit card and I figured I'd indulge myself, I even bought a new wardrobe to match the bike," the blond smiled as his friends began checking out his bike.

"Yeah well I think you'd better put your hat back on bud, you've got helmet hair," Davis laughed as TK turned his side mirror up to look.

"Yeah, that would be great if I didn't lose it this weekend, I took it off this weekend when I was trying on shirts and forgot it in the dresser room, when I went back later it was gone," the teenager said, reciting the lie he had come up with. As he began to fix his hair Kari caught sight of something glittering on his left ear.

"Taky did you get your ear pierced," Kari asked holding back a small laugh.

"Yeah, you like it?" Takeru asked as he pulled back his hair to reveal a small gold loop earring.

"Sure it's cool, just please don't tell me you have any tattoos or I'll have to kill you," the girl smirked though still started scanning her boyfriend's arms with her eyes.

"Are you kidding me, there are a lot less painful ways to get AIDS I mean who really knows how well they clean those needles," the blond told his now laughing girlfriend then heard as the bell rang.

"Come on we'd better get to class, first period starts in ten minutes," Kari told TK even though it was more for Takato's sake.

"I'll catch up in a few minutes, first I need to find a place to park this thing," TK told her as he put his helmet back on.

"Well seeya in class Taky," Kari smiled then walked away.

"TK turned back to his motorcycle and heard a voice in his head as he swung his leg over the seat, 'You'll never get away with this Devimon, my friend's will see right through you.' 'They haven't so far, and besides do you truly think that they'd ever come to the conclusion that you're possessed.'

OK finally done with the chapter. Sorry it's so late but be happy I updated I could have decided not to XD. Oh just so you know I'm adding Dark TK to my digidestined profile along with a picture of the crest of faith in the crest section. Anyway join me next time to see what else TK will lose and remember to review or I'll cry.
