Chapter 3: An Old Dog With New Tricks ?Hurry up and read it already!? Davis insisted. ?Alright, alright. Don?t get your knickers in a twist.? Izzy replied. Davis looked puzzled. ?No one ever did tell me what knickers were,? he uttered. Kari, Awake by this time, giggled sleepily. ?Oh, never mind! On to the e-mail.? Matt snapped. ?Okay,? Izzy began, ?It says: ?Izzy, We are unable to travel to your world where the problem is. Somehow, the Dark Powers closed the gate for everyone but evil digimon. We do have some hope, though. The digimon that are still here have stumbled upon the cave in which I believe the ancient power of the prophecies is hidden. They are searching it as we speak, err? write. Anyway, It will help you to defeat this new evil. Until it is found, however, I have attached a new program for your D3?s and D-Terminals. It allows each of your digimon to use all of the armor digi-eggs. Download the program into the devices and you will be able to share digi-eggs. I?ve also included a surprise. Good luck Digi-Destined. You?re on your own, for now. Have faith. Gennai?? ?On our own?? echoed Yolei, as Izzy began the program. ?Yeah, for now,? Cody added. ?Well, we can sit and mope all night, or we can go fight those evil digimon down there,? TK said, pointing out the window. ?Huh?!? Everyone gasped collectively. Sure enough, six champion-level digimon were pacing the streets below. They were ransacking everything in sight. ?Finished!? Izzy cheered. ?Let?s see what this program can do!? ?Right!? everyone agreed. ?Okay, here?s what I know so far: You can only use one digi-egg at a time,? Izzy explained. ?If one of you is using the Digi-egg of knowledge, for example, no one else can use it at that time. Each digi-egg has it?s own unique qualities. The digi-egg of courage will turn your digimon into a fiery or ancient beast type digimon. The friendship egg will give a digimon with sharp edges and weapons. Reliability produces digimon related to the sea, and sincerity yields plant type digimon. Knowledge produces insect types, hope produces constellation creatures, and light gives a mythical animal digimon.? ?That makes sense,? Ken said. ?Oh, this must be the surprise,? Yolei said, holding up her D-terminal. On the screen was a new egg. ?It has my crest of kindness on it!? Ken realized. ?What kind of digimon does it produce, Izzy?? ?Ummm, o-kay.? Izzy collected himself. ?What?? Ken said anxiously. ?Strangely attired animal type digimon.? Izzy muttered. Everyone stared at Ken. ?Don?t blame me! I didn?t create it!? Ken was blushing very brightly. ?O-kay??The room was suddenly shaken by an explosion. ?Pardon me, but shouldn?t we be doing something about this?? Hawkmon asked. ?You guys had better get going!? Tai shouted. ?Okay then! Let?s go!? commanded Davis. Everyone hurried to the street below. Ken, excited to try something new, pushed his way to the front of the group. ?Okay, me first!? he shouted. ?Are you ready Wormmon?? ?Mmhmm!? Wormmon nodded. ?Digi-Armor energize!? Ken shouted. He?d always wanted to say that! Ken had chosen his own digi-egg: kindness. ?Wormmon, armor digivolve to??Bucchiemon!? ?Alright!? Ken shouted. ?Bucchiemon is a pixie type digimon whose Heavy Beam attack will leave his opponent crushed!? he shouted, reading the info from his D-Terminal. ?Heavy Beam!? The Tuskmon Bucciemon aimed for dissolved, and a black form was left. ?Look guys!? Kari shouted. ?It?s a control spire digimon!? ?Hear that Hawkmon? Give ?em all you got! Digi-Armor energize!? Yolei commanded. ?Hawkmon, armor digivolve to??Allomon!? A huge dinosaur loomed over Yolei. ?Huh?? she said in disbelief. ?Which one did you choose?? asked Kari. ?Courage,? replied Yolei. ?Let?s see, Allomon. Ah yes! His Dino-Burst attack is da bomb! ?Dino-Burst!? An Airedramon was vaporized. ?Your turn, Armadillomon! Digi-Armor ener-gize!? Cody called. ?Armadillomon, armor digivolve to?..Sheepmon!? Cody burst out laghing. ?It?s not funny!? Sheepmon scolded. ?Just because I?m pink doesn?t give you the right to laugh at me!? Just then, a Clockmon attacked. ?Chronobreaker!? ?Wool Grenade!? Sheepmon fired two smiley-faced grenades right into the Clockmon, who instantly shattered into a million pieces. ?La-a-augh at tha-a-a-at!? Sheepmon baaed. Meanwhile, the others were discovering new combinations as well. Kari used the digi-egg of knowledge, and Gatomon armor digivolved to Butterflymon and vanquished a Dokugumon. Davis picked love, and Veemon became Sethmon, who easily disposed of a DarkTyrannomon. TK chose sincerity, and Patamon armor digivolved to Ponchomon, and took out a Phantomon, the last of the six. ?Well, that?s all of them,? Davis dusted off his hands triumphantly. The digimon returned to their rookie forms. ?Ohhh, it?s not over. Not by any means!? said a mysterious voice. Kari?s eyes widened in terror. ?Oh no! Ahhh!? she cried. Dark waves had surrounded her. She was knee deep in the murky water. Ken waded in after her. ?You have to fight it Kari! You know what to do!? ?Right.? Kari said shakily. She held her D3 out in front of her. ?Mine is the crest of light: The worst enemy of darkness!? The symbol of her crest began to glow on the D3 screen. A bright radiance surrounded Ken and Kari, and the water receded. Kari breathed heavily in relief. ?I?ll be back!? growled the deep voice. The sky overhead began to clear, revealing a bright full moon. ?Let?s get back and regroup,? TK suggested.

My alter ego is Davis from digimon. All my friends say I act and look like him in one way or another. We both are stubborn, quick to act (which gets us in trouble), yet really easy going and quick to forgive. And if our friends are in trouble, we're there! I guess I look like him. Y'all can look at my pic in the picture forum.;)

Chapter two: The Darkness Returns It was an hour before Ken woke up. He stirred uneasily as the cool cloth fell from his forehead. ?Ken, your up!? Yolei cried. ?Hey everyone!? Izzy shouted, ?I?m getting something!? Everyone rushed over to Izzy?s computer, including Ken (assisted by Davis and Yolei.) ?It?s Tentomon, but there?s so much static.? ??okay for now?sky?dark?not here but?your world?searching?ancient power?Gennai?DNA di?tailring?? ?I lost him,? Izzy frowned. ?I thought we got rid of all this Dark Ocean stuff!? Tai complained. ?Wait! Do you know who is in that world?? Cody realized. ?Daemon,? Ken glared. Everyone stared at him. ?He?s back.? ?What does he want?? asked Sora. ?The Dark Spore. I still have it,? Ken muttered. ?Ya know,? Davis groaned, ?I?m getting real tired of everybody always coming after you!? ?Huh, you!? Ken smirked. ?I knew it!? Kari burst out. Gatomon jumped. ?I knew it was the Dark Ocean!? At that moment, the phone rang. Izzy left the room to answer it, and came back a moment later. ?That was Joe and Mimi. They both were on vacation, and decided to join us here. Their plane arrives at noon tomorrow. What a coincidence!? ?Great!? shouted Tai. ?All the Digi-Destined together!? ?It won?t really matter if we?re all together if we can?t get your partners here,? Gatomon reminded. Tai stared a whole through her. ?Oh yeah,? he groaned. ?So, what do we do?? ?Nothing,? Ken spoke up again. ?We have to wait for Daemon to make the first move.? The group agreed to call their parents to say they were at a party at Izzy?s. They conveniently left out the fact that Izzy?s parents were away on a vacation! Yolei decided to call for pizza. Tai, Davis, Kari, and Matt moaned at the thought of more pizza. They all settled in for a long night. TK had the most pizza, since he hadn?t eaten earlier. Davis and Kari looked at each other and shrugged. Davis couldn?t tell whether or not Kari knew why TK was acting so weird. He guessed she did, since they were best friends, but he just didn?t know. He?d tried to talk to her about it before, but she?d always changed the subject rather quickly. ?Earth to Davis!? Yolei snapped. ?Yolei, why are you being so mean to Davis? He didn?t do anything to you. You haven?t let up on him all night.? Ken said. Davis and Yolei sat stunned for a moment. They blinked absentmindedly. Davis saw that Ken sensed his problems. Still, he?d never stuck up for him like that. Did he know something? ?I guess you?re right,? said Yolei, sounding defeated. ? I?m really sorry Davis.? Davis stared blankly at her. ?Hello! I?m apologizing here!? screeched Yolei. Kari giggled. ?Oh, heh, guess I?m doing it again, aren?t I.? ?What else is new?? Poromon said, and everyone laughed. ?It?s okay, Yolei. I just?got a lot on my mind.? Davis managed to say. ?Maybe I can help!? Yolei perked up. ?Not likely,? Ken said. ?He does know!? Davis thought to himself. ?It?s okay, Yolei, really.? Ken looked deeply at Davis as if to say ?don?t be so obvious?. How did he know? Then again, he was his best friend. He had a strange way of always figuring Davis out. Kari had fallen asleep across Davis?s lap. She calmly stirred as Davis sighed. He looked down at the sleeping angel. He?d finally gotten what he?d always wanted, and now he wondered if it was for the best. Was it meant to be? Why couldn?t TK just talk to him? In that instant, Izzy shouted. ?E-mail from Gennai!?

RETURN OF DAEMON PROLOG Three years have passed since the digi-destined defeated MaloMyotismon. Not everyone has a digimon partner at this time. In fact, the digital world is still being kept secret, much the same way as before. The things shown in the last episode of 02 come later on than this story. Davis, TK, Ken and Kari are sophomores in high school. Yolei is a junior, and Cody is a freshmen. Tai, Matt, Sora, and Izzy are all in college. Joe became a doctor and moved to America. He asked Mimi to marry him. The wedding is next spring. Mimi is modeling, doing Broadway shows, and going to a culinary arts school. Tai and Sora have been going out since they started college and are planning on getting married. Sora and Matt dated for a while, but she broke up with him. She said she couldn?t compete with his music. Matt is majoring in music and his band is red hot. Izzy is the head of his class (of course) and is planning to graduate early. Davis and Kari are actually dating, much to everyone?s surprise (especially TK?s). Kari said she?d seen Davis mature a lot since their battle with MaloMyotismon. TK took it pretty hard. He just didn?t know how to tell Kari how he felt. He?s been pretty down lately, even though he just wants to see her happy. Ken and Yolei have been dating since Ken?s freshmen year. Everyone says they look so cute together. Cody was the Kendo champion for two years in a row. His grandfather was so proud. He?s taken time out to focus on his studies for now, though. As for the digimon, they are as mischievous as ever! The new digimon, along with Gatomon and Patamon, stay in the real world with their partners. DemiVeemon rented some videos (via Davis and Kari) and learned to dance for Gatomon. They sometimes double date with Davis and Kari. Hawkmon and Wormomon have become buddies, and like to play board games when they?re not watching TV. Armadillomon is the high school cafeteria?s official taste tester, though they don?t know it! Patamon seems to always be comforting TK. Since Davis and Kari started dating, he hasn?t had time for much else. The original digimon stayed behind in the digital world to protect it from any evil that threatens. They make frequent trips to visit their partners, however. Everything was great in both worlds, until one day? Chapter one: Return to the Digital World? Davis looked annoyingly at the clock. Only 2:30. The hands hadn?t seemed to move for an eternity. The last day of school always seemed to go on forever. Of course, his teacher wasn?t going to let them slack. Even on the last day. Davis let his mind wander to his plans with Kari for the weekend. It was their one year anniversary on Saturday, and Davis had big plans. His parents agreed to let him have the car for the day. He was thrilled. Jun complained of course. ?You never let me have the car when I was his age!? she?d whined. Davis shuddered as the memory of the episode played in his mind. He nearly fell out of his chair when the bell rang. ?Finally free!? Davis exclaimed. His teacher gave him a sharp look, but he didn?t notice. He was out the door with a shot. As Davis headed down the front stairs, a warm summer breeze met him. ?Now that?s what I?m talkin? about!? he said. Just then, he saw TK. ?Hey! TK!? Davis called. TK looked up in astonishment. That was the tenth time this month at least that Davis had gotten his name right. Maybe Kari was right. Maybe he had matured. TK wouldn?t admit it, but he liked Davis. They were becoming good friends. Still, they?d be better friends if Kari wasn?t his girlfriend. ?Hey Davis,? TK said, brushing his thoughts aside. ?Hey, whatcha doin? later? I thought we could shoot some hoops!? ?Sounds great, but Matt?s concert is tonight,? TK replied. ?Oh yeah, I forgot. I hope I can make it,? Davis said. ?Don?t worry! I?ll pick you up if you need a ride.? ?Really, TK?? Davis was a little shocked. He?d sensed that TK was a little perturbed with him over Kari. Sometimes Davis would catch TK giving him a look. It wasn?t that playful sarcastic look that he was used to. It looked a whole lot more like a painful look. It was definitely something much deeper. ?I?ll pick you up at six then.? ?Great! See ya then!? Davis said as he turned toward home. About half way there, a familiar squeaky voice came from Davis?s backpack. ?Hey Davis, can I go to the concert too?? ?DemiVeemon! I almost forgot that you were in there!? Davis replied, opening his backpack. ?Of course you can go!? ?GRREAAT!? the little digimon chirped. For most of the afternoon, Davis thought about how he could talk to TK about Kari. He didn?t want to lose TK as a friend, but he definitely didn?t want to lose Kari. ?If you keep thinking that hard, you?re gonna set off the smoke alarm!? DemiVeemon teased. ?Wha? Oh, sorry.? Said Davis, returning to reality. ?It?s about TK, isn?t it?? DemiVeemon persisted. ?Yeah, well?? ?Davis, TK is here!? his mother interrupted. ?Coming Mom! Gee, six o?clock already. Com?on buddy.? DemiVeemon jumped into Davis?s backpack. ?Hey TK,? Davis greeted his friend a little reluctantly. ?Ya ready to go? This is supposed to be Matt?s biggest concert yet!? It was nice to see that TK was in better spirits. Jun sighed. She?d never really gotten over Matt. ?Well let?s go, then!? Davis suddenly felt excited. He liked Matt?s band, and really didn?t care what Jun thought. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ?Spiral Twister!? Biyomon aimed her attack at a pursuing Devidramon. It was no use. It was gaining on her. ?Sora, I need you!? Biyomon sobbed. ?Biyomon! Down here!? She looked down. It was Palmon on the ground at the bottom of a huge cliff. ?Palmon!? ?Biyomon, hurry!? Biyomon flapped as hard and fast as her exhausted wings would allow her. ?Quick, in here!? Palmon led Biyomon to a cave in the cliff side. ?Poison Ivy!? Palmon wrapped her vines around a boulder and yanked it in front of the cave entrance. ?We should be safe for now,? she soothed. Palmon helped Biyomon to a large cavern deep inside the tunnel. Gomamon, Gabumon, Tentomon, and Agumon were there, waiting inside. Tentomon was working on what appeared to be a computer monitor. ?Any luck?? asked Palmon. ?We should be able to contact them soon, I hope,? Tentomon replied. ?I hope so,? panted Biyomon, ?for all of our sakes.? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tai, Davis, Kari, and TK sat in the auditorium. Matt was performing the final song of the evening. As he wrapped it up, everyone stood and cheered. ?Alright, Matt!? Tai yelled. At his feet, Gatomon, Patamon, and DemiVeemon were struggling to get a look. ?Maybe I should just cut them down to size,? hissed Gatomon, flashing a shiny claw. Kari giggled and picked up her digimon. Davis and TK did the same. ?That?s more like it!? the digimon said in unison. Later that night, Matt joined the four of them for pizza. He sat with Tai, and Davis sat with Kari. TK sat sort of off to the side. Matt sighed. ?I know,? said Tai, reading Matt?s thoughts. They both looked at TK, who was lost in the placemat on the table. He hadn?t even touched his pizza. Suddenly, the silence was broken by a beep. ?Geez Kari,? Davis teased. ?Do you ever not get mail?? Kari opened her D-Terminal, and silence fell on the group again. ?Hey Matt,? Davis broke the quietness, ?you guys were great!? ?Yeah, well when you practice as much as we?? ?Yeah Right!? Tai teased. ?It?s just because you?ve got Izzy and Yolei at your sound boards!? ?Ha, ha Tai. We really do practice all?? he was interrupted again by a gasp from Kari. ?What is it?? Davis and Tai exclaimed. ?It?s from Izzy. The digital world is in trouble!? ?Well let?s go!? Matt shouted. ?TK?TK...? TK!? Patamon yelled. ?Huh?? TK came back to reality. ?We?re leaving!? ?So soon?? TK was confused. ?I?ll explain everything in the car. Now let?s go!? Matt nearly drug him out of the booth. Ken and Yolei were already at Izzy?s house when they arrived. ?Where?s everyone else?? Davis demanded. ?Nice to see you too, Davis!? Yolei muttered. Ken smirked. When his girlfriend and his best friend were together, it was classic! ?What are you grinning at?!? Davis and Yolei both snatched. ?N-nothing.? Ken blushed. ?Definitely classic,? he said to himself. ?Calm down. Everyone who can will be here soon, and the rest are to meet us in the digital world.? Izzy explained. ?Yolei!? Tai said. ?Right! Digi-port open!? Nothing happened. ?Please?? Yolei asked, as if the computer understood. ?Whoa! It?s worse than I thought!? Izzy gasped. ?What?s going on?? Cody asked as he walked in the room. ?The digi-port won?t open!? cried Patamon. ?I don?t like this. Something is really wrong here.? Ken said. He had a long forgotten tone of distress in his voice. ?Ken?? Yolei recognized the tone. Ken squeezed her hand, a little too tight. Yolei felt him shudder. ?Your hand. What?s wrong?? Kari held on to Davis?s hand tightly also. ?What is it, Kari?? He asked. ?The waves.? Ken and Kari said in sync. They looked at each other knowing exactly what they were experiencing. ?You mean the Dark Ocean?!? TK snapped into life. Matt was startled by his brother?s sudden outburst. This was the first thing TK had said on his own all night. Cody recognized a familiar hint of hatred in TK?s voice. ?It can?t be.? Tai almost whispered. ?It has to be. I?ve only felt this feeling when I was near it.? Ken said. ?Me too. That same dark feeling?? Kari shuddered. Davis sat her down on the bed. Izzy notice that he was getting an e-mail. Tentomon came up on the screen when he clicked it. ?Are you guys coming?? ?The digi-port won?t open!? Izzy replied. ?Oh no!? Tentomon said, the the connection was broken. ?Ahhh!? Izzy nearly fell over his chair scrambling to salvage the connection. ?What happened?? asked Sora, who?d just walked in. She joined Tai on the bed next to his sister. ?Okay, let me explain.? Izzy began. ?I called you all here because I got an urgent message from Tentomon and the others. It seems that there is some sort of rebellion in the digital world. All the virus-type digimon are running a rampage. It gets worse, too. Remember when Owikawa used his life energy to protect the digital world?? ?Yeah,? the others replied. ?Somehow, it failed!? Izzy paused for effect. ?I can?t contact Gennai OR our digimon now and we can?t even get there to help!? ?But wait,? Cody said, ?you can?t close a digi-port from the digital world. It has to be done from the real world! You don?t think?? ?Oh, the darkness!? Kari suddenly cried out. ?It?s so strong!? she sobbed. ?Fight it Kari! You?re the only one who can!? Ken encouraged. TK, who was by a window noticed the sky outside was changing. ?Look at that!? he gulped. The sky turned nearly black, and clouds gathered above. They churned and swirled very unnaturally. Ken?s eyes widened as he heard a familiar dark laugh. He put his hands over his ears. ?Leave me alone!? he cried desperately. ?Who Ken?? Yolei asked anxiously. ?Oh no,? Wormmon sobbed. ?It?s?It?s?? Ken fainted. Yolei barley kept him from hitting the floor. ?Ken!? Davis ran quickly to his best friend. ?Are you okay, Kari?? Gatomon asked. ?Yeah, it was weird. As soon as Ken fainted, I was fine.? ?I?ll get some water.? Sora said calmly. ?Ken!? Yolei cried over him. ?Oh Ken.? Wormmon pleaded. ?Please wake up!? TK was starring out the window at the churning sky. Something in the shadows flinted, and caught his eye. It darted past the window. TK gasped. ?What is it TK?? Patamon asked. ?I don?t know. But I can tell you this: It?s not good!?

It's on The Otaku digimon fanfics page...I'll post it here right now.

Be on the lookout for my very first fanfic. It'll be in a topic of it's own soon! (You did know this was my 2nd right?)

Chapter 11: With Old Hopes Come New Dreams (The last chapter) Angewomon prepared for the battle at hand. Devimon gathered his strength. He glowed an evil blue-black color. ?Kari, get TK to safety. Devimon has become very powerful from all of TK?s energy. This could get ugly.? Angewomon explained. Kari ran to TK. The arrows that held him to the wall dissipated and he fell into her arms. His body was almost entirely lifeless. Kari did her best to drag him out of harm?s way. She finally found some crates to hide behind as the battle began. Meanwhile, Ken and Davis were driving around the city, trying to come up with a plan to find Kari. Neither had slept in days, and they showed it. Tai and Sora had placed missing posters of Kari all over New York. Matt and Joe had gone several places asking questions. Mimi coordinated a hotline for possible sightings. Yet everything led to nothing. Ken was at his wit?s end. He?d never had this much problem on a case. He just had to find Kari. Davis wouldn?t make it without her. Davis stared out the window. All he could think about was things he could have done to stop TK. Davis totally blamed him self for everything. It was the first time anyone could recall seeing him depressed. He should have tried to talk to TK before all this started. He should have done anything but what he did. Davis held the door handle so tightly it nearly broke. As they drove down the city streets, the car lit up, and then went dark again as they passed the streetlights. They just needed some clue to go on. Anything. Even the smallest clue would be a start at least. Suddenly, something caught Davis?s attention. He stared for a second to be sure it was real. ?Ken! Pull over!? He shouted. Ken screeched the car to a stop, and Davis hobbled over to the side of the bridge they?d just crossed. His leg hadn?t completely healed yet, and he still needed a crutch. Ken followed close behind. ?What is it? Did you see something Davis?? ?Look over there.? Davis pointed at the old part of the downtown area that was now mostly warehouses. Smoke was rising from a building and several flashes of light beamed from it. ?What do you suppose it is?? Davis asked. ?I don?t know, but it?s worth checking out, I?d say.? Ken replied. ?I agree. Let?s go!? Back in the abandoned theater, Angewomon wasn?t fairing so well. Devimon was much more powerful then she?d anticipated. He?d drained all of TK?s Hope energy. She flew up and fired a succession of Celestial Arrow?s, but to no avail. ?Evil Wing!? Devimon shouted as pulses of dark energy blasted from his wings. They slammed into Angewomon, and she fell to the ground. Kari couldn?t bear to watch much more, but what could she do? She was powerless against someone like Devimon. She wished Yolei and Hawkmon were there. Silphymon could stop him for sure. Angewomon struggled to her feet. She had one last resort tucked under her wings. She stood upright, and spread all of her wings wide. They began to glow intensely. ?Holy Light!? Angewomon cried. The light around her left her body, and gathered around Devimon. ?What the?!? He was rendered motionless by the attack. A massive explosion followed. As the dust cleared, Kari could make out Devimon?s shape across the room. Angewomon devolved into Gatomon and collapsed. Kari ran to her and held her tightly. ?Oh Gatomon, I love you!? Kari sobbed. Suddenly she gasped. ?You?ll pay for that!? Devimon screeched. He wasn?t finished. Kari was now frantic. Gatomon was out and so was TK. She was left to her own. What would she do? ?Come on Kari...think!? she said to herself. She searched the room for answers. Nothing. Wait, her backpack! It had her digivice and TK?s crest in it! That had to count for something! Devimon was in flight by this time, coming her way. He swooped down at her, and she fell to the floor to avoid him. As soon as he was over her, she dashed for her backpack. She hurriedly unzipped it and took her digivice out. ?Eat this you freak!? She shouted. A beam of pink light shot from it, and it struck Devimon down. He landed on the old balcony in the rear. The light continued to beam out from her digivice and into the night sky. Davis and Ken saw it, and instantly knew it to be Kari. They rushed as fast as they could to the old theater. Ken halted the car and Davis nearly fell over himself trying to get inside. He burst through the rear doors and saw Kari on the stage. He started towards her. ?Davis! Watch out!? Kari screamed. Devimon flew from the balcony and grabbed Davis. Ken tried to grab him, but missed as Devimon flew higher. Ken drew his gun and shot at Devimon. One shot hit him in the wing, causing him to drop Davis. He managed to catch a ledge, and climbed down the stage curtain. He ran to Kari, hugging her tightly. ?This isn?t over yet guys!? Ken shot at Devimon, who was diving at him. Again, he hit him. This time, it was his shoulder that was hit. ?You?ll pay for that!? Devimon flew to the balcony ledge and turned toward the front. Ken ran up to the others. ?This ought to keep you busy!? Devimon laughed. ?Dungeon Curse!? The attack missed Ken. ?Ha! Where?d you learn to aim!?? Ken mocked. ?Oh, but I didn?t miss!? Devimon grinned. Kari gasped. Ken turned to see Davis walking, without a limp, toward him. ?Davis? What in the world are you doing?? Ken asked, more than a little shocked. Davis threw a punch at Ken. Ken dodged it, but Davis kept coming. ?I don?t want to hurt you, Davis! Stop this!? Ken pleaded, but Davis kept coming. Soon the two were locked in battle. Devimon turned his attention back to Kari, who was guarding TK. ?You leave him alone you beast!? Kari cried. ?Oh, I?m so scared. A young woman is threatening me, an all powerful demon lord. BAH!? Devimon sneered. ?K?Kari.? TK tried to speak. ?TK don?t talk, you?re hurt. I don?t want to lose you again. I care too much about you!? Kari sobbed. ?You?care?? TK?s eyes filled with tears. Suddenly, Kari?s backpack began to glow. It stood up on it?s own, and the small bag inside floated out. It began to disintegrate, and the fragments inside began to assemble themselves. Kari stared as the Crest of Hope formed. It floated back to TK. He reached out and took it. He cried as he held it close to him, over his heart. As this happened, the spell over Davis broke, as Ken socked him in the jaw. ?OWW! What was THAT for?!? Davis yelped. Ken shied away. ?Oops?? ?What?!? Devimon was enraged. He let out a roar that shook the dust from the ceiling. TK tried his best to set up. Kari helped him up, and propped him up against one of the crates. ?This ends now.? TK said in the most serious tone anyone had ever heard from him. ?You have controlled my life for long enough. You took advantage of my pain. You wrecked my life. You caused me to?hurt my friends?? TK was crying again. ?It all ends now! There isn?t any amount of pain I could possibly inflict on you to make you feel what I feel right now!? TK reached in his pocket and pulled out his digivice. Devimon had been feeding off its energy. TK held it high. Gatomon rose to her feet. ?Gatomon digivolve to?Angewomon!? ?Angewomon digivolve to?Magnadramon!? ?Magnadramon Holy-Digivolve to?Ophanimon!? ?Wow?? everyone said collectively. TK wasn?t finished. A beam of light came from the digivice once more. It expanded as it shined across the room. A fuzzy image became visible in it. Davis soon recognized it. ?Alright! Patamon!? Davis cheered. ?TK! It?s me!? Patamon flew to his partner. It had been a long time. TK hugged him. ?Oh, TK, I?m glad you?re back!? ?Me too, pal, me too. Now let?s teach this demonic freak a lesson once and for all!? TK shouted. ?Right! Patamon warp digivolve to?Seraphimon!? Seraphimon flew up with Ophanimon to face Devimon. ?I?m not going down that easy!? Devimon shouted. ?Touch of Evil!? The attack didn?t even faze the two angels. ?WHAT?!? Devimon screamed. ?As the keeper of Light?? Ophanimon said? ??And as the Keeper of Hope?? Seraphimon added? ??We cannot allow you to exist in any form any longer,? the two finished together. ?Who are you to allow me to do anything?!? Devimon mocked. ?Enough talk! We hereby banish you from every realm of existence!? The angels commanded. ?Divine Judgment!? The two super powers directed a ray of energy at Devimon that was so great, that it caused the ground to tremble. Devimon vaporized before everyone?s eyes, screaming in pain. Everything calmed down, and the two angels devolved into Patamon and Gatomon. They each ran to their partners. TK and Kari hugged them. Ken and Davis ran to the stage and over to Kari. ?Are you okay Kari? Are you hurt? I was so worried?? Davis said in tears. Kari couldn?t recall him ever crying before. ?I?m fine Davis. I?m fine.? She said holding him. Ken smiled and turned to TK. He sat there with his head between his knees, as Patamon nuzzled him. Davis and Kari looked over at him. Kari got up and went to him. ?TK?? ?Stay back! I don?t want to hurt you anymore!? TK cried. ?TK, he?s gone. We want you back. It?s all okay now. It wasn?t your fault. You couldn?t help it if you were being controlled by that monster.? Kari soothed. ?I knew everything that happened, yet I was powerless to stop it. It was like I was in a nightmare and couldn?t wake up. I?m so ashamed of all this. I was weak and let him control me.? TK sobbed. ?TK, it could have happened to any one of us. You know that. We?ve all had our weak times.? Kari replied. ?That?s right TK. Just look at me. I was the evil Digimon emperor. Remember?? Ken reminded. ?TK look; I don?t care if you think you were wrong. It wasn?t you. As far as I?m concerned, you?ve been held hostage all this time. It?s time to get back to life; back to your friends; back to your hopes and dreams.? Davis said. ?You mean, you all are willing to take me back in after all this?? TK looked up finally. ?What do you mean back? You never left!? Davis smiled. ?He?s right,? Ken and Kari agreed. TK stood and they all hugged him. Gatomon and Patamon sighed together. ?You guys were awesome!? Kari said to them. ?Aww, it was nothing,? the two digimon replied. ?You?d have done the same for us!? Everyone laughed. ?Let?s go home.? Davis said finally. ?Home?? TK sighed. The next day, the gang was packing their things for the trip home. Everyone had crashed at Mimi and Joe?s for the night so TK could catch up on everyone?s lives. Everyone was there. Even Izzy had made it over. Everyone that is, except one person? Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Mimi answered the door to find an irate man and a police officer. Mimi invited them inside. ?That?s them officer! Those are the ones who wrecked my theater!? The man yelled. ?Is this true?? The policeman asked. ?Well I??Davis began. Then there was another knock on the door. Mimi opened it, and Cody, of all people, walked through, and over to the officer. Nobody said anything as Cody opened his briefcase, and handed the policeman a document. ?What this man isn?t telling you is that that theater was scheduled for demolition next week anyway. He?s just trying to fraud his insurance.? Cody said solemnly. The officer cast a long, hard glare at the man. ?Ehehheheh?I can explain officer?? ?Save it, buddy. You and I got a trip to take!? He grabbed the man by the shoulder and headed for the door. ?Sorry to disturb you folks.? ?Law school pays off yet again.? Cody smiled. ?Wow! My hero! Yolei laughed. ?Who?d have thought Cody would save the day!? TK grinned. ?Hey! What?s that supposed to mean?!? Cody replied. Everyone laughed, and Cody soon got the joke. The whole group was back together again. As they finished packing their things, Kari was walking around taking pictures of everyone. ?I don?t know why you want all these pictures Kari.? TK remarked. ?What do you mean?? ?Isn?t it obvious? This just proves that nothing can ever separate the best of friends.? TK replied. Kari smiled and hugged him. "You are so right TK. You are SO right." [b]The End[/b]

It's good writing. I like that you add in all the little details. That gives good visual reference. I guess I can live with the name changes. :)

Finals Are DONE!!! I am FREE!!! I'm starting to end this story too, so things are getting good. I hope you like!:) Chapter 10: A Nightmare I Can?t Wake Up From?Or Can I? ?Nightmare?? Kari gasped. ?You think YOU?VE been living a nightmare?! What about Davis and I? Not knowing where you?re going to pop up, the lengths you might go to, always looking over our shoulders?I?d call THAT a nightmare.? ?Who asked you, anyway? I don?t recall asking you to speak!? TK sneered. ?Oh so now I have to have permission to speak. Well let me tell you one thing, you little jerk. This is a FREE country!? Kari glared at TK, who then slapped her across the mouth. ?Shut up!? he shouted. Kari began to cry. She didn?t know what to do. She could hardly believe that this was real. TK had a mean streak, but it wasn?t anything like this. She wished someone were there to help. TK had had enough. He couldn?t take hearing all this anymore. He had to clear his head in order to enjoy his vengeance. He walked to the stairway, and up to the roof of the building to get some air. ?That?s it, run away from me!? Kari growled. TK gave another long, evil gaze at her before ascending out of sight. Again, Kari sat there, alone in the dark. She?d all but given up hope of a rescue. She didn?t even know where she was. How could the others? Time passed for what seemed like hours. Kari sat there, unable to move. Her life was running through her head. She was remembering her childhood; the time she?d spent in the digital world; Tai?s wedding; her own wedding. All the stuff that meant anything at all to her was coming back. Suddenly, she heard something. It was a soft, padding sound. Kari strained to look around in the darkness. She couldn?t see anything but she knew something was there. Kari continued to listen closely. Finally, something crossed the light coming in from a small window. It was white. Kari held her breath. Could it be? She wondered, and then decided to give it a try. ?Here kitty?Kitty kitty?Come kitty.? Out of the shadows emerged a beautiful white cat. It had sparkling blue eyes, and little yellow socks on its feet. Its tail was striped, and it?s ears tinged with a dark brown. The cat looked up at Kari and meowed. It jumped in her lap and purred. Kari wished she could pet it. She remembered Meko back home. Just then, TK walked back into the room. The cat scrambled and hid in the shadows once more. ?Pests,? TK murmured. Kari could still see the glare on the cat?s eyes. She was quite thankful for the small comfort it brought her. She looked over at TK, who was doing something over a cabinet. He turned around with a knife and a gun in his hands. Kari gasped, and her heart raced. ?You know, I think I know just how to finally get back at you.? He spoke in a cool, collected voice. Kari could tell he?d thought about this the entire time he was out. ?Look at you. Young, beautiful, married; what more could you ask for?? ?Freedom?? Kari tried. ?Mmm?? TK nodded. ?Freedom indeed. Freedom from the bindings of life. Freedom from this nightmare.? TK pointed the gun at Kari. Kari stared at him as hard as her trembling body would let her. She was prepared for the end. ?Nah, that?d be too easy!? TK was almost laughing. ?I?m not going to kill you! I?m going to make you watch me kill myself! You?ll never get over it!? TK laughed insanely. ?TK! NO!? Kari screamed. TK held the gun to his head, still laughing. Kari was fighting to get herself free to stop him, but she just couldn?t. Just as TK was about to pull the trigger, an intense white light flooded the room. It was so bright, that TK dropped the gun. He fell to his knees to shield his eyes. The light began to focus in on itself near the center of the stage. Kari felt warm and free again, but she still didn?t move. All she could do was watch. The light drew closer and closer in on itself until the outline of a woman was visible. Then the light faded out just enough for the figure to be revealed. ?Angewomon!? Kari shouted. ?But how?? ?Angewomon?? TK repeated. The shining angel spread her wings, and scooped Kari up, and held her tight. Kari hugged her, and smiled. ?I knew it was you. It had to be!? Kari said thankfully. Angewomon smiled. ?Our business isn?t through here.? She said firmly, looking down at TK. ?You can?t hurt me. You won?t!? TK sneered. ?I shall not hurt this body. It is what?s inside that I shall conquer!? Angewomon sat Kari down, and drew her bow. TK got up and tried to run away. Angewomon fired a succession of four arrows, pinning TK to the wall by his clothes. ?Now this darkness will be removed! Heaven?s Charm!? Angewomon raised her hands together, high above her body. A beam of light appeared in front of her. She dropped her hands in front of her, and spread her arms wide, forming another, perpendicular beam. The cross shaped beam headed out towards TK. It surrounded his body, and he began to convulse. A dark cloud appeared around him, and floated off to one side away from him. TK was left pinned to the wall, lifeless. The dark cloud began to take a form. At first it looked like a dark cross, churning with dark clouds. As the form emerged, Kari began to recognize the familiar shape. Long, black arms with red claws became visible first. Then, demonic wings followed. Finally, the body, and the horned head materialized. ?Devimon!? Kari shouted. The demon creature let out a roar of evil that shook the whole room. Angewomon held her ground. Although Devimon was only champion level, he was a type of digimon that could become quite powerful under the right circumstances. ?It all makes sense now.? Kari thought. ?Devimon must have been controlling him. It was all because of me. I left him vulnerable that night.? ?Kari, it wasn?t your fault. You could not have prevented it. Nothing you could have done would have stopped this fiend.? Angewomon consoled. ?Exactly. And I?m not finished yet!? Devimon growled. ?I beg to differ.? Angewomon replied.

I love the fact that I can take things with such ease. There are very few things that can make me go off on someone, or to be all stressed out over. I just take it as it comes. I see these people who are stressed to the point that its debilitating. That makes me apreciate it all the more. I also love my musical inclination. I suprise myself all the time. Music is something that my life is based on. I wonder if I could exist without it. I'd rather not find out. ;)

Seeing some of these posts reminded me of a few things...as if I weren't picky enough... -They HAVE to like the same kinds of music as me. I have music on all the time. I don't think I can part with it. -I have a long, thick hair fetish. I love it! -Like Shy said, they must like my friends, and visa versa -Likes trips -Be able to intelligently discuss things with me. I don't...or rather can't explain things well. It'd be interesting if someone could go through this thread and match people up.

I like girls who are about my height. Hair color doesn't really matter, but I do like blue or green eyes. The face would have to be cute. Good color skin. The usual healthy looking stuff. I really don't like the whole anorexic look either. Someone about my weight would be good as well. She'd have to be a fun person to hang out with, and someone who'd be my best friend. She'd have to show some interest in my likes, because I want to show interest in hers too. I'd like someone who knows me inside and out. Someone who could walk in a room, sit down with me, and not have to say a word to know what I want, or am thinking. :rolleyes:Obviously I'm picky. No wonder I can't get a date.:rolleyes:

I loved acting in High school. Too bad I don't have time to do it in college. :( Anyways.... -Countless church plays, 2 of which my mother wrote. -A Christmas Carol --young scrooge. -Grease --Doody AND the Teen Angel (double rolls became my thing:) ) -The Wizard of Oz --The Munchkin Mayor -Cinderella --The King -Southern Fried Murder --Old Grandma, and her elustrious nephew (yes, the script called for them to be the same person)

I'm sorry for the lack of posts. I just finished off a 10 page report and I'm not much in the mood for writing. I'll post soon though. [b]Attachment deleted. Please do not post erroneous images on Otakuboards purely for hosting purposes. --Elite.[/b]

It's not just about growth spurts. I changed in personality, and the way I act some too. I mean, (not to be weird) but I never really started noticing girls until this past year. I know, I am totally odd, but I'm just saying the thread goes further.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sara [/i] [B][size=1]I somehow didn't expect this thread to be about growth spurts..[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] You were expecting.....

I posted a 'then and now' pic of me in the pic forum if anyone's interested.

I never thought of it that way. Hmm... Do you know that up until about 2 years ago, I still got into movies for the kids under 12 price?! I kinda miss that...so does my wallet....hehehe

This is sort of an odd topic, but... Are you a late bloomer? Are you growing, and going thru personality phases later than anyone else? I know I am. I'm 21, and I just [i]now[/i] had a growth spurt. Over the last year, I've gotten 2 inches taller, and gained 15 pounds of muscular weight. How weird is this? Feel free to share all. :D

I'm glad you all like it so well. I'll update the thread as I update the layout. Thanks for looking! :)

I like the idea a lot. I like how it looks, except the blurr thing doesn't work.

Logic never was my game...It's called Faith. I live by it. It's like the wind. You can't see it, but you know it's there. As for bashing, I either take it or leave it. I refuse to be a part of it, or fight back. Because it isn't my place to judge. I don't have to force my religion on anyone. That would be wrong. I believe God tailors your religion for you, and you only. No, that doesn't condone immoral behavior, but there are those things that some may be able to do and I can't, and visa versa. I believe that my life should be a witness for Jesus, and I'll leave it at that. My actions are proof enough. I don't have to bash your religion, or shove mine down your throat. I can't MAKE you become a Christian. That's between you and God. I'm only here to be a friend, if you need it. I don't care what race, religion, sexual orientation or whatever you are. The Bible says to love one another. No restrictions. And so ends my take...

Oh Draw me! This should be interesting....

It's been over 6 years in the making. Believe me, this hasn't happened overnight. It's quite expensive! :)

Ginny, I know you already know this, but I'm going to say it anyway (regardless of what anyone else may think). We can't always see God's grand design. The important thing is that you never give up faith. He has his reasons, even if we don't see them. I'll be praying for you, and you know how to reach me if you need a shoulder.
