Dream

Chapter 2 Dark Beginnings Part 2

"How are they?" asked a man who looked at a young girl on a hospital bed.

"The feline's been scanned and seems to be uninfected. We're assuming that due to her being digital she can not be infected." said a second man.

"What about the girl?" asked the first man.

"Well the wounds appear to have healed and she has no residual particles left. It would seem that his last action cured this girl from becoming one of those beasts." replied the second man. The girl then began to stir as her eyes began opening.

"Wh-what happened? Where am I?" asked the girl.

"To answer your questions you're in a recovery room in the Digital Illumination company and you were attacked by a creature." replied the first man. When the man said this Kari remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.

"You're Kari Kamiya, right?" asked the second man. Kari nodded before noticing something.

"Where's Gatomon?" asked Kari sounding frightened.

"They should be bringing her in soon." replied the first man. "I'm Dr. Darryl Pax and this is my intern Tom Parker." he introduced as Gatomon was brought in and placed on the bed next to Kari's.

"So do you know what attacked us?" asked Kari.

"Yes but before I explain there is something you must know." said Darryl.

"What?" asked Kari.

"This company is a cover for something greater. You see a few hundred years ago there was an event that happened which caused several vampires to evolve into two new classes." began explaining Daryll.

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Vampires?" asked Kari.

"Yes but we're nothing like that bicurious vampire monster you and your friends fought." continued Daryll. "You see there's two more classes of us. Those like us who are known as Daywalkers and are more human, aside from the fact that because we don't drink as much blood we have to eat about three to five times as much as a normal human, and Nightstalkers who are more beast like monsters."

"Okay but what does that have to do with us?" asked Kari.

"You were attacked by a Nightstalker and were infected by it." replied Daryll.

"I what?" asked Kari frightened.

"Don't worry. It seems one of our agents saved your life." replied Tom.

"Could I see him to thank him?" asked Kari.

"As much as we'd like to he died when he saved you." replied Daryll.

"I'm so sorry." said Kari somewhat quietly.

"You don't need to worry. Though he was one of our best it seems his wish was granted." said Daryll. "That brings me to my next point."

"What?" asked Kari.

"Well when he saved you because he had no strength he overloaded his power and ended up destroying the enemies who attacked you along with himself but not before injecting some of his blood into you." explained Daryll pointing to Kari's neck. She touched her neck and felt two puncture wounds. "We ran a few tests on you and it seems that he left part of his soul in you."

"Wait. How can you run a test that tells you something like that?" asked Kari.

"Daywalkers and Nightstalkers exist in more than just this world." replied Daryll. "There isn't just a universe but a multiverse. In each reality we stay in the dark to protect the interest of humans and in time we have gathered technology from various realities as well as other worlds. We have also been able to create things which combine both magic and technology. Thanks to this we were able to scan you and saw that part of his soul in within you."

"So does that mean there's a chance to bring him back?" asked Kari.

"No. It seems that his consciousness is gone. All that remains in you are his knowledge, abilities, and possibly his powers." replied Tom.

"Powers?" asked Kari.

"Snap your fingers." said Daryll. Kari was confused but did as she was told. To her surprise when she did her thumb was suddenly on fire but it didn't hurt her. She snapped her fingers again causing the fire to dissipate.

"Sir we have the results from the tests." said a woman who entered the room and handed Daryll a file. He took the file and began reading through it.

"Alright thanks." he said. The woman nodded and left.

"Well I've got bitter sweet news for you." said Daryll as he put the file down.

"What?" asked Kari.

"It would seem than when SDG injected his blood into you to keep you from becoming a Nightstalker he injected a little too much." replied Daryll.

"What does that mean?" asked Kari sounding a little scared.

"Basically it means that you're one of us." replied Tom.

"So I'm a vampire?" asked Kari.

"Yes." replied Daryll. "But don't be scared. You see we're Daywalkers so you'll still be pretty normal save for a few differences."

"Like what?" asked Gatomon who had just woken up.

"Gatomon are you okay?" asked Kari sounding especially concerned.

"Other than feeling like I got hit by a convoy I'm okay." replied Gatomon as she rubbed her head. "So what's going on?"

Ten minutes later...and six Twinkies

"I see." said Gatomon sadly. "Kari I'm sorry I was too weak to protect you."

"It wasn't your fault Gatomon." said Kari.

"She's right." said Daryll. "The fact of the matter is that you're both lucky to still be alive after fighting one of those things. If he hadn't saved you odds are you'd both be dead. Aside from that he granted you something no other human has ever had the chance to have in a multiverse of life times."

"And what might that be?" asked Gatomon.

"The power to fight with one of the most powerful forces in reality." replied Daryll.

"Not to mention you gain the strengths we have." added Tom.

"What strengths?" asked Gatomon.

"Well the one thing all vampires have in common is that we've got five to eight times the strength and speed of an elite athlete." replied Tom. "And it looks like the changes have started." he said looking at Kari's forearms which had glowing marks that looked like flames that then turned pink.

"So what's going to happen to me?" asked Kari sounding a little scared.

"That's up to you." replied Daryll. "You can go home and pretend this never happened or you can join us and be part of something much greater. Something that would teach you how to control your new powers as well as give you the back up you'll need to face this threat to the multiverse. The choice is yours."

"I need some time to think." said Kari.

"Of course." said Daryll. "Just one thing." he said as he turned towards the door. "We're gonna need you two to stay here for a little while until we get a cover up story out there."

"Just how long have we been here?" asked Gatomon.

"Roughly about three days. Give or take." said Tom.

"WHAT?" yelled out the two.

"Like you heard." said Daryll.

"How could we have been here for three days?" asked Kari.

"Well we found you not long after you were attacked. Maybe an hour or so. After that we had both of you under observation and kept running tests every six hours or so to make sure you were okay." explained Tom.

"And to see if we were dangerous, right?" asked Kari.

"Looks like parts of him are starting to set in." said Daryll as he turned to her with a smile. "Yes. We needed to be sure that you hadn't been infected or that the infection had been cleared from your system."

"So what will happen to Kari?" asked Gatomon.

"It'll be nothing to worry about." said Tom. "Think of it like this. If Kari were a computer then when SDG died he uploaded his powers, skills, and all his knowledge into Kari's mind and soul." he explained.

"Basically you're saying that she'll be able to use his powers and know everything he knew." concluded Gatomon.

"Correct."

"But then wouldn't his consciousness start to control her?" asked Gatomon concerned.

"No. When he transferred the remains of his soul to her he used a forbidden spell we have. In other words she'll know everything he knew, be able to do what he could, and she'll have his powers but these will become a part of her. His consciousness will be gone." explained Daryll.

"I see." said Gatomon.

"Now then we'll go and create a cover up story for you two and you'll be back with your family soon." said Daryll as they left. When they did Kari layed back down and sighed.

"What's wrong Kari?"

"I'm just a little confused." replied Kari. "I mean this guy who we didn't even know winds up dying to save us and to find out that he gave me all this power and stuff. It's just a little much to take right now." she said as she formed a fireball in her hand before it disappeared when she closed her hand.

"So you feel you owe this guy?" asked Gatomon.

"Kind of." replied Kari. "I still remember the last words he said: Thank you but it would seem that my time is done. My light has been put out and I can now join those whom I lost but your light shines brightly upon the warriors who fight for the light and I hope that you can use my gifts to aid those of light."

"So are you gonna join them?" asked Gatomon.

"I'm still not sure." replied Kari.

"Well you can be sure that whatever you choose I'll be by your side." said Gatomon.

"Thanks Gatomon." said Kari as she got up.

"Alright let's go." said a police officer who entered the room.

"Are we in trouble?" asked Kari.

"No." said Daryll entering the room. "We have people everywhere including in the police. Officer Shin will escort you home."

"Okay." said Kari as she and Gatomon stood up.

"However you must remember this is a cover. Someone will go to see you at school to check if you'll accept our offer." said Daryll. Kari nodded as she and Gatomon left with Officer Shin. When they got outside they saw it was dark out.

"What time is it?" asked Kari.

"About 10:24." replied Officer Shin. A few minutes later they were in front of the Kamiya apartment.

"Here." said Shin handing Kari a red and gold cell phone.

"Thanks but I already have one." replied Kari.

"This belonged to him and since he's part of you this now belongs to you." said Shin. Kari looked a little uncertain before taking the phone causing the red to become pink. "You see?" he said before turning back to the door. "Alright then let's do this." he said pressing the doorbell. When the door opened Kari's mother stood there with a worried look until she noticed Kari. When she did she went and hugged her daughter.

"I'm so glad you're safe." she said. "Thank you Officer."

"No need. I'm not the one who found her. I just escorted her." replied Shin. "Now then I have to go. Stay safe kid." Kari nodded as Shin left.

"Sweetie are you okay?"

"Yes. Where's Tai?" asked Kari.

"He's in your room trying to figure out where you might be." replied her mom.

"Okay." said Kari as she and Gatomon walked to the room she shared with her brother.

"Tai?" Kari asked entering the room.

"Kari? Thank goodness you're okay." he said hugging her tightly.

"I'm glad but could you not squeeze me. I can't breathe." replied Kari.

"Sorry." said Tai. "But I've been really worried. Where have you been?"

"I'm not really sure." replied Kari. "But for now I'm really tired."

"I imagine you are." said Tai. "Well good night and tomorrow we'll meet up with the others since they've been just as worried as I was."

"Thanks Tai." said Kari as she yawned. Then she went to her bunk of the bed with Gatomon and the two let sleep take them over.

"Kari. Kari." called out a voice.

"Who's there?" asked Kari as she looked around in an empty black space.

"Consider me your guide." said the voice as the darkness shined brightly before changing into an island with a volcano which had lava shooting up into the air without coming down.

"What is this place?" asked Kari.

"This is your soul." replied the voice.

"Okay so who are you?" asked Kari looking around.

"I can't tell you my name." said the voice as someone stepped out of the pillar of lava. The creature changed into a woman roughly in her mid twenties in red with long red hair which then changed to pink.

"So why am I here?" asked Kari confused.

"Your new powers are currently locked to keep you safe. However to unlock them you will need to do something first." replied the woman.

"What?" asked Kari. The woman simply turned to face her left. When Kari turned she saw a sword that was sticking out of the ground.

"You must first take the sword from its place. Then and only then will you unlock your new gifts."

"However you must beware." said another voice. This one sounded a little more familiar to her. In front of the two a shadow formed which then took the form of the teen she had seen a few days earlier.

"You." said Kari shocked.

"Yes. You showed me kindness and even though I couldn't protect you and your partner I am glad I could do what little I could." he said with a smile.

"So will you be here to help me?" asked Kari.

"I'm afraid not." replied SDG. "You see my conscious only exists for now. Once you unlock our powers I will fade into your mind. I am glad we could meet before my end came. I hope you use my powers to protect just as I have done."

"You have my word." said Kari.

"Now it is time." said the woman. Kari nodded as SDG vanished. She then went to the sword and took it by the handle but when she touched it her mind was flooded with several images at once.

With a gasp Kari awakened looking around.

"Oh hey Kari. Glad you're awake." said Tai.

"Thanks." said Kari. "So what's for breakfast?"

"Well mom left early to do some stuff so I guess I'll make breakfast for us." said Tai.

"Why don't we make it together?" suggested Kari. A few minutes later the two siblings had made enough food for them and their partners.

"Wow. Where did you learn to make this?" asked Tai.

"I don't know. I just felt like something was guiding me." replied Kari as she looked at the breaded peppers stuffed chicken, and salsa on the table. After eating the two siblings and their partners headed to the park to meet with the other DigiDestined who had been concerned for the girl of light. Since Tai had his license now he drove them to the park where the original digidestined met when they were talking about how to locate the eighth child who as though it turned out was Kari (Like we don't know that already).

The others were already together, digidestined and digimon, so upon arrival most of them started questioning her. However all the noise they were making was starting to hurt her ears.

"Okay, okay. I'm sure we all have questions for Kari but we need to slow down." said Izzy trying to calm everyone down.

"Izzy's right we need to stop." said Joe causing everyone to stop.

"Now I think the best question is probably the most obvious one." said Izzy. "What happened?"

"Well..." began Kari uncertain of whether or not she should say anything of what happened. Suddenly they heard a beeping sound. Kari then pulled out the cell phone she'd been given which began glowing before projecting the image of a man.

"Oh sorry. Is this a bad time?" said the man.

"Hey who are you?" asked Tai.

"Pardon my intrusion but Miss Kamiya but there's a group of Kaijin attacking." said the man ignoring Tai. "I count two Makamou, a Fangire, an Orphenoc, and a Worm. They will warp in within a minute about a sixth of a mile from your current location." Upon hearing the words several more images flashed through Kari's mind.

"What are the others?" asked Yolei.

"Makamou are kaijin, humanoid monsters, which have more resemblance to animals. Orphenoc are kaijin who were once human but upon death mutated turning them into monsters that only seek to kill often times starting with their own families. Fangire are vampire like kaijin who rather than feeding off the blood of living creatures they feed on their life energy. Worms are alien kaijin who have the ability to mimic humans so well they will have all the memories of whoever they mimicked. However in their true forms if they molt they gain the ability to move at the speed of light." said Kari with her eyes glowing.

"How do you know all this?" asked Izzy.

"I really don't know. It's like I have an encyclopedia in my head or something." replied Kari. "Anyway I think we should go since they'll start causing chaos as soon as they arrive." she said taking off. The others were bewildered for a second before following her. The other digidestined ran after her but Kari seems to be running a lot faster than them without even breaking a sweat which got them curious. Within a few minutes Kari arrived in front of a street which had a rippling space. When the others got there they saw five monsters that emerged. The first was a fangire that looked kinda like a vulture. Next to it was a large cat like monster that just looked like an overgrown cat. To its side was a monster that like a large mutated worm which had arms and legs. Next to that one was a gray monster that looked like it wore a roman styled armor but with antennae.

"Oh man. Looks like this one's gonna be tough." said Davis. Kari looked at the monsters and noticed something concerned.

"What's wrong Kari?" asked Gatomon causing the others to look at the digidestined of light.

"That man said there's be six of them but there only five total." replied Kari. As if on cue a much larger ripple formed behind the other five monsters from which emerged a crab monster that was like eight to ten times larger than the others.

"That is a really big crab." said Joe as something strange caught their attention. At their feet a glowing mark formed. It was a circle which had several strange symbols around it with an oddly shaped star in the middle.

"Hey what's going on?" asked Tai. When he asked a strange light began floating in between the two groups which then became a square that had a face on it.

"Well well well. Looks like I've a bit more of a catch than I expected." said the man.

"Who are you?" asked Tai.

"Silence human!" yelled out the man angered. "Know your place or you will regret your first existence." he said as his pupils vanished. "Now then how about I explain the rules of this little game?"

"Game? Is that what this is to you?" asked Ken.

"Not really. To me this is more of a...how do I put it? It's more of a...no wait never mind. Yeah it is a game." he said causing everyone to sweatdrop. "Anyway to the game!" he declared. "Now the rules are simple. You and your digimon against my genetically altered and shadow powered kaijin! The only rule here is that you can't digivolve into ultimate or DNA digivolve which is why this seal appeared."

"So you're saying that we have to win without DNA digivolving or going ultimate?" asked Davis.

"Is there a ****ing echo in here? Yes that's what I said you jackass!" said the man startling everyone. "Oy. This is why I hate humans. Anyway I'll leave you to start this game. I've gotta ask a friend about this stupid thing." he said holding a strange doll making everyone sweatdrop again before the screen disappeared.

"Well lets start." said the fangire as it flexed.

"He said this seal or whatever wouldn't let us go to ultimate but he didn't say anything about the level after." said Tai looking at Matt who smiled back. "Agumon!"

"Gabumon!"

"Right!" said the two digimon.

"Agumon warp digivolve toooo...WarGreymon!"

"Gabumon warp digivolve toooo...MetalGarurumon!"

"Well we're not staying behind!" said Sora. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Biyomon digivolve toooo...Birdramon!"

"Palmon digivolve toooo...Togemon!"

"Gomamon digivolve toooo...Ikkakumon!"

"Tentomon digivolve toooo...Kabuterimon!"

"Patamon digivolve toooo...Angemon!"

"Veemon digivolve toooo...ExVeemon!"

"Hawkmon digivolve toooo...Aquillamon!"

"Armadillomon digivolve toooo...Ankylomon!"

"Wormmon digivolve toooo...Stingmon!"

"Alright let's go!" said ExVeemon as all the digimon charged. However when they did all the other kaijin, except for the really big crab, vanished into shadows. Due to this the others headed towards the crab which let out a field of dark energy which threw all the digimon back hitting the walls of the seal which then expanded. Afterwards the group saw the screen reappear.

"Oh and I forgot to mention that the dark seal along with their marks increases their power to exceed the power of any mega level digimon by seven fold at the start and can increase to up to thirteen times more than that." said the man before the screen disappeared again.

"This isn't good." said Ken. "If even two megas can't take just that one out what chance do we have against five more of these things?"

"Right you are." said the man as the screen appeared once more. "And this big bad crab is actually the weakest of the six. That's why the others decided to leave it to...uh..it I guess would be the word." he said as the screen vanished again.

"This isn't good." said Matt looking at his partner who was getting up.

"Ice wolf claw!" called out MetalGarurumon firing a blue blast which froze part of the Makamou. It however just lifted its claws causing the ice to shatter before it extended its claws like hooks to grab WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon before slamming the two together and throwing them into the other digimon.

"Kari!" said Gatomon.

"Right." said Kari holding her D3. "Digi Armor Energize!"

"Gatomon armor digivolve toooo...Nefertimon, The Angel of Light!" Nefertimon flew at the crab. When it saw her the Makamou started firing multicolored blasts at her. But when it did something strange happened. A sphere made of fire surrounded Nefertimon which blocked the blasts. Kari looked at her hand which was surrounded in fire.

'You're desire has allowed you to start accessing the base of your new gifts.' said a woman's voice in Kari's mind.

"I did that?" Kari asked herself quietly.

'Indeed. And I believe that you are now ready.' said the voice as Kari felt herself sucked into something. Next thing she knew she was in the place of her soul. The same place with the volcano.

"The barrier you created won't hold for long." said the woman from before. "You were brought back here because you will need this power. Not only for yourself but for your partner too."

"So what you want me to try to take that sword out again?" asked Kari.

"Yes. But when you do remember your purpose and those you wish to protect." said the woman. "Once you pull the sword out you will know my name. Now you'd better hurry up. You've only got half a minute before time here is synchronized with that of your reality."

"Right." said Kari as she walked up to the sword before grasping the handle. She then took a breath as she thought about who she'd protect with this power. Of her brother and her friends. Of their digimon partners as well as all she remembers of their battles. This caused her body to start glowing also causing the sword to glow which in turn allowed her to start moving it. As she pulled the sword more and more out a name just found its way into her mind.

"Shigeki!" called out Kari as she pulled the sword completely out of its place.

Back in the battle everyone looked as the glow from Kari's hand extended to her entire body before it became fire.

"Kari!" called out Tai. Everyone looked in shock as Kari walked while on fire completely unphased by it or the monsters in front of her.

Well looks like things get interesting. I'm not gonna be doing A/N's a lot just right now because there's something I've been curious about. Though personally I think WarGreymon could totally kick ShineGreymon's ass but that's just my opinion. So not counting that he has the burst mode thing who do you prefer. I've set up a pole for you all to vote. Who's better? WarGreymon or ShineGreymon. Vote in. I also have another pole there but I can't remember what it was for so if you'd like vote on it too or something. Later!
