Chapter 8: The Digimon Prince and Princesses Return

Tai's pov

When Ken and I appeared where the others were the first person I saw was Kari and when I saw her, my eyes went wider than I thought possible. This was because of her change of clothing. Now she was wearing a white gown trimmed with gold and a golden tiara, which reminded me of what Ken said earlier, about how all of this has to do with me, Kari and who Kari thinks is our older cousin, but is really our older sister, Chloe.

"Why Kari, it seems that you learned the truth about you and your brother's role in the DigiWorld. So, now tell your brother what you learned," Ken said with an air of power that in my heart I knew did not belong to him.

"Tai, you are the Digimon Prince and I am one of the Digimon Princesses, but I have no idea who the other Digimon Princess is or where she might be," Kari told me as if we were the only ones here.

I could tell that Chloe (the other Digimon Princess, soon to be Queen) was here somewhere, waiting till it was her time to appear and both she and I knew when that would be, when Kari was trapped in a cage of Darkness and both her and TK's lives were in danger. Until then though she just had to wait a little longer and so did I.

The look in Kari's eyes begged me not to ask questions out loud, so I didn't.

When did you find this out? I mentally asked her.

When Matt sent me a text telling me that you were grabbed by Ken, but don't get mad at him, unless you wanted him to call me and make both me and Sora freak out with worry. My sister replied.

Damn you for putting it that way.

Why because now you can't argue it?

Yes, that's why and you know it.

"Very good Kari, but don't worry about the other Princess she will appear soon enough. Now do you all understand why I found a way to poison Kari's laptopwithout touching or going near it?" Ken asked everyone.

"Your goal was to kill her and plunge me into the eternal Darkness that is my heart without Kari, so that even if I knew the truth I would be unable to rule," I started.

"Therefore making you one of the only ones who knew and could rule," Kari finished.

TK's pov

I was now officially pissed off at Ken more than I had been before. I knew that Tai and Kari talked to each other mentally. I also kinda had an idea where this conversation was going to go.

"Let Tai go!" Kari yelled at Ken.

"Never!" He replied.

"Fine, then I'll go in his place," she said.

"No, Kari don't do this," Tai said, no wait begged Kari like he knew that she probably would anyway, but had to try.

"If it means saving you Tai, I'll do it."

"Kari, you can't give yourself to Ken," I argued, "he'll kill you."

"Not if I prove useful to him," she said to me.

Tai and I exchanged a look of hopelessness because we both knew that there was nothing we could do to stop Kari now. Her mind is made up and nothing we say will convince her to change her mind. During this time Davis tried and I mean tried to talk some sense into Kari, but he knew that if I, her boyfriend who was once her best friend couldn't convince her then no one could convince her to not give herself up to save her brother. But like Tai and I he had to try, even if he knew how it would turn out.

"Enough! It's Kari's decision on how she will save her brother and to those of you who know her really well, mainly the original DigiDestineds know that she will stick to that decision even if she decides to give herself up to me," Ken said, then added, "You've got a deal Princess Kari."

He then let Tai go, built a cage of Darkness, grabbed Kari (I'm pretty sure at that moment I knew what he was gonna do and all the color and strength I had seemed to leave me). Tai looked pissed off at this point, but looked out to the side, I thought he just couldn't watch Ken do that to Kari, turns out I was wrong.

Cody's pov

Ken looked right at Tai and said, "You know how long Kari has before the Darkness kills her, but now there's a twist."

"What do mean by that?" I asked.

"He means that since TK and Kari are meant to be together that if one dies so does the other," a strange voice replied from beside Tai.

"Who are you and how do you know that?" Joe asked.

"Guys, this is mine and Kari's older sister, who the guys have actually heard me say earlier is our older cousin," Tai said as he pulled her into the view of everyone.

Now that I actually got a better view of the older girl I saw the resemblance, she looked exactly like an older version of Kari, but the look in her eyes reminded me of Tai, this is because she seemed to be pissed at Ken. At this point Kari's eyes were as wide as Tai's had been when he saw Kari's outfit.

"Yes, I am their older sister, the first born Princess and the heir to the throne of the DigiWorld. I'm the one you should be after Ken NOT my baby sister, but since, apparently you went after both her and my baby brother, you have pissed me off to the point where I'm questioning wither or not to let you live!" Chloe shouted, "NOW LET MY SISTER GO!"

"NEVER!" Ken shouted back but this time he actually seemed afraid.

"Then take me, after all I am the one you really want dead."

"Yep, you are their sister," Sora commented.

"Hey they had to learn it from someone," Chloe replied.

So after Ken thought for a second he let Kari go and both she and TK got their strength back.

Ken then walked right up to Chloe (pretty brave yet stupid move if you ask me, but not many people do).

"So, you're the soon to be Queen of the DigiWorld I've heard so much about, how kind you are, how you're the embodiment of all the crests, etc, etc,?" Ken asked.

"Yes I am, but I believe your sources may have me a bit confused with my mother," Chloe replied, while trying to hold back some tears.

"Now you're just being modest, they described you completely accurately some even said that they had seen you today, with someone following you."

Yolie's pov

Chloe then dropped her shoulders in defeat.

Then she responded, "Fine I was coming here and there were some Digimon that needed help and they recognized me because of how much I look like my mother and my father."

"What about the person they saw following you?"

"Oh, him that would be…-," Chloe started.

"That was me, I am Chloe's boyfriend Derek. I was following her to make sure she was safe," the new guy finished as he stepped out of his hiding spot.

"Yes he's very over protective of me even though I have proved I can protect myself. I live with a lot of other guys who have taught me how to fight and protect myself since I was 11. So, Ken I could kick your ass and I could also kill you. I'm sure you have heard the rumors about my father. Especially considering he was the one to bring you to the side of Darkness!" Chloe said to Ken.

"I have heard the rumors and know that they are true, but does anyone else here know what we mean?" Ken asked.

"Oh, one person does," Tai answered.

Tai had this look on his face that said he was the one that knew what was being discuss, everyone else had absolutely no clue what so ever. I, like Sora, Mimi, and Kari all seemed to be distracted by how hot Derek was to really understand that there was something we didn't know that was being discussed.

Derek was wearing an outfit similar to Chloe both were wearing t-shirts and jeans, but their jeans were jean shorts. Derek was wearing a black t-shirt and Chloe was wearing a white one. But before anyone could say anything Ken hit Chloe with a beam of Darkness.

"She has a lower tolerance for Darkness, now why is that Derek?" Ken asked.

"Because the first born to the previous holder of the crest of Light has more Light in her than her mother and other sisters, if she has any other sisters, the crest of Light is generally in the possession of a woman," Derek answered.

"I see, and since she was the first born she has the most Light in her."

"Then how come she doesn't have the crest of Light but instead has the crest of Destiny?" Kari asked.

Derek then replied, "I never mentioned what crest Chloe has."

"I know how Kari knew that," Tai said.
