Chapter 9: Will All Truths Be Told?

Matt's pov

"Chloe told us right before she sent us here to Japan seven years ago. Kari you were only four years old, I was seven, and Chloe was nine," Tai continued.

"And at some point over the last seven years she called you and reminded you that she was our sister?" Kari asked.

"Right and from the look in your eyes you know why I never said anything about it."

"Time to end this happy party," Ken said.

"That's what you think!" Chloe yelled while getting up and flinging a ball of Light at Ken.

He then became good, like he was supposed to be, I guess. (I have no idea how or why I knew that).

"Now he is going to be on our side, but we will have to face someone worse than him. Someone more diabolical, more dangerous, someone who knows the strength of Light, wait I mean knew, someone who can only be defeated by one crest…the crest of Courage. The one that he once possessed."

"How do you know all of this?" I asked.

"Because I have visions about what is meant to happen and because I know the guy we have to fight, Matt."

"How do you know my name?"

"One, Tai told me and two, I can see what's meant to happen including any and all dialogue, so I saw everyone else calling you Matt."

"Oh that explains that."

"So I have to focus on Courage right?" Tai asked.

"Right it's the only way we can defeat him," Chloe replied.

"Who is it that we are gonna have to fight?" Kari asked.

"I can't tell you, any of you even though I want to, you have to find out for yourselves."

"Now you guys have your mini party while Chloe and I make a few phone calls," Derek said after a moment.

Sora's pov

We were done eating by the time Derek and Chloe came back from making calls. They both looked at us, and they looked so much older than 16.

"You can ask any questions you have and I'll answer them," Chloe said to us.

"Kari made it so we couldn't move, but Tai and Kari told us that it was because we were in the shield of Light that Kari extended over us, but was it really?" TK asked.

"Well, I'm a witch and that means that Kari is too, and we cast spells, what she did was a simple binding spell on all of you, which is pretty impressive."

"There's one other I have, what is my mom hiding from me?"

"She told me you would ask that. She, along with all of your parents have kept a secret from you all that they told me that I could reveal. TK, you a werewolf, Kari you are part werewolf, like I am and Tai is a full werewolf. Matt you are a sorcerer, Mimi you are a half-demon, Sora you are a witch, Yolie you are a half-demon, Davis you are a sorcerer, Cody you are a necromancer, Izzy you are a sorcerer, and Joe you are a shaman."

We let that sink in for a bit.

"Now Derek and I will explain each of your powers," Chloe said.

Kari's pov

"A sorcerer is the male equivalent of a witch, they cast spells too, but theirs are different than the ones that witches cast. One cast offensive, the other defensive. They are sometimes called spell casters. Half-demons are fathered by a demon with a human mother and they take the appearance of their mother, there are various types, if for those of you who are half-demons you will have to ask about what type you are or we could check to see what your powers are and find out that way. Necromancers are people who can speak to anyone who has died, except there family members. Werewolves are people who have the ability to change into a wolf, but despite popular belief we do not change during the full moon, we become full a wolf not the Hollywood version and not the type portrayed in Twilight, we are normal wolves. And lastly, shamans. They are people who are great healers, have a spirit guide and can astral project their spirits outside of their bodies and travel where ever they want," Chloe said, with Derek adding in little bits here and there.

"Wow!" Mimi said in awe of what Chloe (my sister) just said.

I looked at Tai and he had this completely unsurprised look on his face, which meant that he already knew this. I then remembered when he refused to let me into his room when he was video chatting with a "friend", that must have been Chloe. It all made sense now she already told him everything.

"Wait, for me and Tai that means…" I started.

"That the people you thought were your parents are really your aunt and uncle," Chloe (I was having trouble calling her my sister) finished for me.

"I sent you and Tai here to protect you, because Tai and I, along with all but 5 of the people here were part of an experiment. The experiment was supposed to reduce the negative side effects of our powers which start to appear around puberty, but it failed on some of us, therefore making us stronger than we should be."

TK's pov

"Who are the 5 who weren't part of the experiment?" Matt asked, praying that I was one of the ones who wasn't part of it.

"They are Cody, Yolie, Davis, TK, and Kari," Derek answered.

"So, pretty much the youngest members of the DigiDestineds," Sora said.

"Yes, but they could have been part of it, their parents just choose to either keep them hidden from the group doing the experiment or they just choose not to put them in it," Chloe added.

I looked at Tai and it looked like he already knew all of this.

"Now it's time to reveal the biggest surprise about myself," Chloe began. "I started changing when I was 10, a year after I sent Tai and Kari here."

"I started to change a few months ago," Derek added.

"And why is this a big surprise?" Kari asked.

"I can answer that," Tai replied as he stood up, then continued with, "it is a surprise because normally werewolves start their change at 18 or older, not 10 or 16. For me, Derek, and Chloe we had no idea when we would start our change because of the experiment."

Then it all fell into place on why Tai looked unsurprised, Chloe had to tell him because she had no clue when he would start his change. They could hold off on telling me and Kari because they had a general idea about when we would start our change.

"It's time to head back okay?" Chloe asked us.

"Okay," we all replied.

So, we all head back to the portal with Chloe keeping Tai and Kari in her sight, probably because she hasn't seen them in 7 years."
