The Return of Apocalymon

 

Chapter 9

Tai: Talk about scary. We get back from the digital world and what do I do, I get mad and yell at Sora. On top of that she gets attack by two evil digimon. Where did these guys come from? Good thing we got help from out digimon otherwise we'd be goners. Still, I can't shake the feeling that someone was behind all this.

A week after the our heroes were last in the digital world

In the abandoned warehouse

"Time to execute my plan! Those digi-destineds will never know what hit them! And it'll all be thanks to you." The cloaked figure laughed. A picture of Davis is shown on the computer screen.

That night

Davis is wondering in a black void

"Hello!" He called.

"Hello, hello, hello." His voice echoed.

"Greetings!" A harsh voice called out.

Davis fell to the ground in fright. "Who . . . who's there?"

"Such cowardness. How do you ever expect to win your loved one if you get scared so easily?" The voice mocked.

"I ain't afraid!" Davis studderly lied.

"Prove it! That's the only way to gain her affection! Prove you are tougher, braver, and, most of all, stronger than he is!" The voice roared.

"How do I do that?" Davis asked nervously.

"Challenge him! Beat him! Humiliate him!" The voice roared louder with each sentence.

"Challenge him? To what?" Davis asked irritably.

"A digimon fight of course!" The voice laughed.

"And exactly how am I supposed to win? His digimon can digivolve to ultimate!" Davis cried angrily.

"And yours can go to mega can it not?" The voice called out jokingly.

"Only if Ken uses Stingmon. But there's no way he'd do that for my own selfish needs!" Davis cried.

"Who said anything about him doing it?" The voice laughed.

Suddenly the scenery changed to the dark sea. Davis had never been there so he didn't know what to expect.

"Where am I now?" Davis demanded.

"Here's where you can be able to defeat your enemy. Just place your hand into the dark water!" The voice instructed.

'I don't know what'll happen . . . but if it'll get me Kari I'll risk anything.' Davis thought before he put his hand into the water. Suddenly a dark-digivice appeared in his hand.

"Hey, this is just like Kens digivice." Davis noticed.

"Correction . . . it is EXACTLY like Kens digivice. You see, years ago he placed his brothers digivice into this very water . . . causing it to change into what you call a D3. However, unknown to him, he left an imprint of it in this very water." The voice cackled.

As Davis clutched his 2nd new digivice, he laughed an evil laugh. "Now T.B.! We will see who the best is!"

"Go! Go challenge him!" The voice called out. Davis turned to see a cloaked figure standing where the voice was coming from.

Davis awoke covered in a cold sweet. "Wah! What a strange dream." He mumbled. He looked at the hand where he took the Dark Digivice. He noticed it was still there. "So it wasn't a dream . . ."

The next day at school

T.K. and Kari are walking down the hallway

"So T.K., are you all ready for the dance tonight?" Kari smiled.

"As ready as I can ever be." T.K. laughed nervously. Kari giggled. "What?" T.K. asked demandingly.

"It's just you're so cute when you're nervous." She giggled.

"Hey guys!" A voice called out. T.K. and Kari turned to see Apollo running up. Through the week, they got to know Apollo. He was transferred from China and he loved computers.

"Hey Apollo!" T.K. called out.

"Hey T.K. You mind if I borrow Kari for a moment?" Apollo asked. T.K., in a surprised manner, nodded. "Thanks." With that, he grabbed Kari's arm and pulled her down the hall.

"What's up Apollo?" Kari asked happily.

"Well, you know. There's this girl I want to ask . . . and . . . well . . . I don't know how to ask her." He stuttered nervously.

"And you're asking me because . . ." Kari asked.

"I'm asking you because you and T.K. seem to be doing well . . . I just wanted to ask an experienced girl what they like." Apollo asked.

"Well . . . uh . . . T.K. and I aren't . . . going out if that's what you're thinking." Kari laughed embarrassingly.

"But you two are always talking and hanging out . . . I just thought that meant you guys REALLY liked each other." Apollo confessed.

"Well . . . we . . . uh . . ." Kari didn't know how to respond.

Apollo shook his hands in the air. "Okay . . . okay . . . back to my problem. Anyway, this girl I know has a huge crush on this other guy."

"Okay . . . and . . ." Kari asked.

"AND . . . I don't know if she's ever even noticed me . . ." Apollo cried.

'Hmm, this guy reminds me of Davis.' Kari though. Suddenly a vision flashed before her eyes.

"You are weak!" A weird voice called.

"Huh? Who said that?" Kari asked.

"Who said what?" Apollo asked strangely.

"If you don't tell them . . . they will destroy each other!" The voice echoed. Suddenly Kari saw the image she saw in the Digital World. Flames surround her, and T.K. and Davis were on the ground.

"NO! NOOOOO!" Kari cried.

"Kari! What's Wrong?" Apollo asked worryingly.

"NOOOOO!" Kari screamed again. Then she fainted.

Apollo caught her and laid her down. "Someone help me!" He cried.

T.K. ran down the hallway. "Kari! What happened?" T.K. demanded.

"I . . . I don't know? One minute we were talking the next she was screaming and she fainted." Apollo replied.

"We got to get her to the nurse!" T.K. said as he picked up Kari.

Later

A guy ran up to Davis

"Hey Davis, did you hear about Kari?" He asked.

"No, what happened?" Davis asked.

"Something happened and she fainted." The guy told him.

"WHAT!" Davis yelled.

"She's in the nurse's office right now." The guy replied. As soon as he finished Davis dashed down the hall.

In the Nurse's office

Davis almost slid past the door; then he ran in. "Kari!" He cried. He stopped when he saw she was awake, with T.K. next to her.

"Oh Davis, what a surprise." She smiled.

"Are you okay? I heard something happened." Davis said concerned.

"She's alright, just got a little light headed." T.K. replied.

"Oh yeah! And where were you when this happened huh?" Davis demanded.

"I was talking with some friends!" T.K. said a little loudly.

"Right! And where was Kari!" Davis scoffed.

"I was talking with Apollo Davis!" Kari said a little annoyed.

"Oh!" Davis said surprised. Then he and T.K. glared at each other.

'Those two . . .' Kari thought. Suddenly the image flashed before her eyes again. 'I've got to tell them before things get out of hand.' "T.K., Davis." She said. They looked at her. "There's something I've wanted to tell you guys."

"What is it?" T.K. asked.

"Yeah, what?" Davis asked too.

"I . . . uh . . . lo . . . lo . . ." She struggled to get it out. "Lo . . ." 'Come on Kari, it's been so easy for you to say it in your dreams!'

Suddenly the Nurse appeared. "Oh Kari? Are you feeling all better now?"

Kari jumped. "Uh yes ma'am, I'll be getting back to class now." She said rapidly. She got up and started to walk out the door. "I'll tell you guys later." She smiled as she left a dumbfounded T.K. and Davis next to the bed.

Back in class

"Alright class. I've got some good news and some bad news." The teacher announced. "First the bad news; the farewell dance has been cancelled." All of the students started to protest. "Just a second, now the good news is that the farewell dance has been moved to the Digi-fest being held tonight around lake."

"Digi-fest?" A student asked.

"Yes, for those of you who may or may not know, four years ago our country was attacked by a huge monster. We now know that monster was a Digimon, and it was through the brave efforts of several youngsters that the monster was stopped once and for all. In fact, two of them are in this very class." He pointed to T.K. and Kari. Everyone started murmuring. "Anyway, this Digi-fest has been declared because today is the anniversary of their defeat of this monster. Now, any of you who actually have a digimon are allowed to bring them with you if you desire."

'What about last year!' Davis thought frustratingly.

Meanwhile

At a nearby hospital outside the doors. "Listen, Joe. I thank you for all the help you did with the victims from that Dragonmon incident." A doctor told Joe.

"Your welcome sir." Joe smiled.

"But, I'll have to deny your request for being a full fledge doctor." The doctor frowned.

"WHAT! Why?" Joe asked.

"Nothing personal, I mean your skills to handle Digimon-caused wounds are extraordinary, they're . . . just not needed yet. And we have more than enough doctors handling real world problems." The doctor said calmly.

"I understand." Joe frowned.

"Listen, if anything comes through, I'll let you know." The doctor put his arm on Joe's shoulder. He smiled and went back in.

"HEY JOE!" A voice called out. Joe looked to see Mimi.

"Oh, hey Mimi." He sighed.

Mimi looked worried. "Hey, what's wrong Joe?" She asked.

"They refused me to be a doctor again." Joe pouted.

"Oh . . . Hey anything I can do to help?" She smiled.

"WHA!" Joe was shocked and worried. "Oh no . . . there's no need to help!"

Mimi grew angry. "What's that supposed to mean? Do you think I'll make a mess or something?"

"No! It's nothing like that!" Joe panicked.

"Yeah, I know I panic easily and I've never been that helpful in the past, but that doesn't mean you have to . . ." Before Mimi could finish, she burst into tears.

'I've never seen Mimi act like this. I guess all these years have really taken their toll.' Joe thought. He put his arm on her. "Hey, Mimi. You're right, that was mean. How about I make it up to you?" He smiled. Mimi looked at him. "You see, there's this Digi-Fest tonight and . . . well . . . how would you like to go with me?"

Mimi couldn't believe he asked her. She gave a huge grin. "OF COURSE!" She smiled. She got so excited she kissed him.

'WOW! I didn't see this coming!' Joe thought surprised.

Suddenly Mimi's eyes bugged out and she pulled out of the kiss. "Wait! Did you say TONIGHT?" Joe nodded. "WAAAHHH!" She panicked. "What am I going to wear? How much time do I have?" She ran all over the place; Joe just laughed.

Later

"There you go little bro." Matt smiled as he adjusted T.K.'s tie. T.K. was wearing a nice white tuxedo with a white straight tie. Patamon was there dressed in a special-fitted tux too.

"Boy am I glad mom let you come over to help me get ready. I'm a nervous wreck." T.K. smiled.

"You're telling me." Matt laughed. "Just take deep breathes and relax."

"Easier said than done." T.K. sighed. "Say, are you going with Sora?"

"Unfortunately no, I've got a gig tonight." Matt sighed disappointedly. "Tai's going with her . . . it's alright with me though." T.K. looked confused. "They got in a bit of a fight a while ago; this'll help them patch things up." He saw T.K. was sweating again. "Hey, what's wrong? Nervous?"

"YEAH! I'm finally going OUT with Kari! This is like a dream come true!" T.K. said hyperly.

"Just don't do anything stupid T.K. This is your big chance to tell her how you feel." Matt put his arm on his little brother. T.K. blushed.

"Boy T.K., thanks for bringing me here." Patamon smiled.

"What, you'd think I go to a digi-fest without you?" T.K. laughed.

Suddenly the doorbell rang.

"AH NO! SHE'S HERE!" T.K. ran around panicky. Matt just laughed as he went to open the door.

"Hello!" Matt said really surprised. "Who's this beauty?" (Note: He's joking of course)

"It's me, Kari." Kari giggled. She came in dressed in a beautiful white dress, her hair was put up a little and she wore a white ribbon. Gatomon was there, dress in a little dress herself.

"T.K.! You lucky dog! Come here and meet your date!" Matt called.

T.K., this time with a white hat, a cane, and white gloves, walked slowly towards the door and his jaw dropped. "Ka . . . KARI!" He gasped. Kari blushed and giggled.

"T.K. Can I talk to you for a moment?" Tai asked. Kari sighed irritably at her brother's request as T.K. walked out to the hall, closing the door behind him.

"What's up Tai?" T.K. asked.

"Listen T.K., it's not that I don't trust you . . . just . . . don't let anything bad happen to Kari okay." Tai said sternly.

"Tai, you know me; I'd do anything to make sure Kari's safe and sound." T.K. replied calmly.

"Yeah, I just had to get that off my chest that's all. Say, what's with the pure white couple thing?" Tai laughed.

"Huh? Oh this; it was Kari's idea." T.K. laughed.

"Uh huh, and the accessories?" Tai said in a joke serious tone.

"Oh, I thought it'd make me look cooler that's all." T.K. laughed with his hand behind his head.

"Okay, just be careful." Tai put his arm on T.K. shoulder.

"Good luck with Sora." T.K. gave a thumb up.

"HUH! WHO TOLD YOU?" Tai panicked.

"Matt." T.K. laughed.

"Oh." Tai's face faulted.

T.K. chuckled and opened the door back up. "Shall we?" He asked in a fake macho voice as he held out his hand. Kari giggled and took it. The two happily walked out; Gatomon and Patamon followed happily.

"You look cute Gatomon." Patamon smiled.

Gatomon blushed. "You look handsome too, handsome." Patamon blushed too.

"Man, those two are so happy together." Matt sighed.

"Yeah." Tai agreed.

At the party

Everything around the lake looked spectacular. Lights were everywhere, digimon were all over the place dressed in little suits or dresses as well.

"Boy, there sure are a lot of people here." Kari gasped.

"Yeah?" T.K. agreed.

"HEY!" A voice called out. The two turned to see Ken and Yolie running up. Ken was in a normal black tux with a white shirt and bow tie. Yolie was in a very cute purple dress.

"Hey you two!" T.K. called out.

"How are you guys doing?" Ken asked.

"Can't complain." Kari smiled.

"Oh really?" Yolie asked suspiciously.

"What?" The two asked.

"Nothing, just fooling with you." Yolie laughed.

"Hey guys." Another voice said quietly. It was Cody, he looked rather down. He was dressed similar to Ken, except he had a straight tie.

"Hey Cody!" T.K. smiled.

"Hey Cody, you here with anyone?" Yolie smiled.

"No, just Armadillomon." Cody sighed. Armadillomon was nearby with Hawkmon and Wormmon.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Yolie apologized. "Hey, don't feel bad, I heard Izzy couldn't find anyone either."

"Really?" Kari asked.

"Nope, he tried to ask me but, as you can see," She pulled Ken towards her, "I've got my man here with me." She smiled. Ken blushed.

"Hey, have you guys seen Joe or Mimi?" Kari asked.

"I did, they came together," Cody mentioned. Everyone gasped. "Yeah, they're over there." He pointed behind him.

Everyone looked and were jaw dropped. Joe was dressed like Ken and Cody; however Mimi was dressed beautifully. She had a wonderful blue dress and her hair was put up with cute digimon pins. Kari and Yolie looked at their dresses and started to pout.

"Hey T.K. isn't that your brother on stage?" Cody asked.

"Huh?" T.K. looked up and saw Matt and his band on the stage. 'So this is the gig he had.'

"Greetings everyone and welcome to the first annual Digi-Fest!" Matt said in the mike. Everyone cheered. "I'm Matt Takaishi and this is my band. We're going to start off with some slow music, then as the night goes on, well start to kick it up a bit." Everyone applauded. Soon Matt's band started to play.

"May I have this dance?" Ken asked.

"Why certainly." Yolie smiled playfully. The two started to dance very nicely, except for Yolie occasional stepping on Ken's feet.

"Kari, may I?" T.K. smiled and asked nervously.

"Why of course silly." Kari laughed. The two started to dance very nicely.

"May I?" Patamon asked Gatomon.

"Certainly." Gatomon put her paw out. The two digimon started to dance.

Meanwhile

Davis is somewhere else in the crowd. He is dressed in an outfit identical to T.K.'s except its ALL black.

"Where could they be?" He grumbled.

"Loosen up little bro. Come on, dance a little." His sister smiled.

"Hey, is that a cute guy over there?" Davis asked.

"CUTE GUY! WHERE? WHERE?" His sister ran off.

"Finally." Davis sighed. Soon he ran into Izzy.

"Hey Davis." Izzy sighed.

"Hey Izzy." Davis grumbled.

"Couldn't find a date either huh?" Izzy said.

"Nope. Say, have you seen T.S. or Kari?" Davis asked.

"Yeah, not long ago. They're right near the stage." Izzy pointed.

"Thanks." Davis smirked as he walked over there. Izzy wondered if he made the right choice.

Back with T.K. and Kari

They were on their second dance; the music had livened up a bit so they were dancing faster with some moves. Suddenly a cane was whipped between them. It was Davis.

"Hey Davis." Kari smiled.

"Mind if I cut in?" Davis smiled.

"Sure." T.K. bowed to Kari and backed up.

"Thanks." Davis laughed. He pushed Kari aside and uppercut T.K., sending him flying onto the floor. Everyone stopped dancing and backed up.

"What the hell was that for Davis?" T.K. grumbled.

Davis walked up, took his glove off, and slapped T.K. across the face. Then he walked back to where he was standing. "I challenge you J.B.!"

"It's T.K. Davis!" Kari grumbled.

"Yesh Davis, what's up?" Veemon, who had been following him, asked.

"Whatever! Do you accept?" Davis asked impatiently.

"What if I don't?" T.K. asked.

"I don't think you have a choice." Davis smirked as he took out his digivice.

"Huh?" Everyone gasped.

{Chorus} Digimon Digimon

"Veemon Digivolve to!

{Chorus} Digivolve into champion

Ex-Veemon!"

"Ex-Veemon." Davis snapped his fingers. Ex-Veemon seemed to fall under a spell and nodded.

"X-Laser!" He called; he fired a blast at a bunch of cars nearby, causing them to explode.

T.K. was horrified. "Alright! I'll do it!" He sighed.

"T.K.! Don't!" Kari cried.

"I have to Kari, if I don't, he'll destroy everything." T.K. said seriously. Kari backed away. "Patamon."

"Right."

{Chorus} Digimon. Digimon.

"Patamon digivolve to!"

{Chorus} Digivolve into Champion.

"Angemon!"

{Chorus} Digimon. Digimon.

"Angemon digivolve to!"

{Chorus} Digivolve into Ultimate.

"Magnaangemon!"

Magnaangemon flew in front of T.K. "Come on Davis, you know you don't stand a chance!"

"That's where you're wrong loser." Davis smirked. He pulled out another Digivice.

"A Dark digivice!" Ken gasped.

"Wormmon!" Davis called.

{Chorus} Digimon Digimon

"Wormmon Digivolve to!

{Chorus} Digivolve into Champion

Stingmon!"

Everyone gasped.

"He forced Wormmon to evolve!" Ken gasped.

"Davis! What's wrong with you!" Yolie yelled.

Davis just laughed evil. "Now! Together!" He yelled.

{Chorus} Digimon Digimon

"Ex-Veemon!"

"Stingmon!"

Together: "DNA DIGIVOLVE TO! PAILDRAMON!"

{Chorus} Digimon Digimon

"Paildramon Mega Digivolve to! Imperialdramon!"

"Imperialdramon transform to! Imperialdramon Fighting Mode!"

"WHAT!" T.K. gasped.

By now all of the digi-destineds were around watching the fight.

"I'll give you one chance T.S.! Give up Kari and I won't destroy your digimon!" Davis called.

"Is THAT what this is about! Sorry Davis but I don't play by those kinds of rules." T.K. shouted back. "Go get 'em Magnaangemon!"

"Right!" Magnaangemon agreed. He activated Excalibur and dashed towards Imperialdramon. He was about to strike when Imperialdramon grabbed his arm and punched him into the stage.

"Giga Crusher!" Imperialdramon fired! Magnaangemon flew up just in time to dodge the attack.

"Gate of Destiny!" Magnaangemon opened the gate, creating a huge Vortex that tired to suck Imperialdramon in.

Imperialdramon held himself inside the gate. "Imperialdramon! Show them you're more than a match for a cheap move like that!" Davis called.

With great strength, Imperialdramon destroyed the gate, closing the vortex. "Positronic Laser!" He called; he blasted Magnaangemon into the ground, creating a huge crater.

Magnaangemon flew up and gave Imperialdramon a great kick and sent him into a building. However Imperialdramon flew straight at him and grabbed his leg. He swung him around and towards the crowed, who got out of the way just in time.

"Finish him off!" Davis ordered. "Charge up your Positronic Laser!" Imperialdramon held his arm out and charged up a huge blast. Davis put his arm in the air. "Fire on my mark! Ready! Fi . . ."

"STOP DAVIS!" Kari screamed; she ran up and put her arms around his arm. Davis put his arm down and looked coldly at her.

"Oh I'll stop Kari . . . only if you do me one thing." He said devilishly. Kari looked scared at him. "Tell me how much you care about T.K.! And I mean the Truth!"

Kari gasped. "The Truth?" She asked dumbfounded. Davis nodded. "The truth is . . . I . . . I . . . I love him!" She cried. (Note: T.K. didn't hear this)

Davis gasped. Kari stared desperately at him. His face turned to an angry one. He grabbed her arm and threw her a good distance away.

"DAVIS! NO!" T.K. yelled.

Kari was on the ground in front of a building (a foot or two away) coughing in pain.

"Imperialdramon! Change of plan!" He stared coldly at Kari. "Fire at Kari!"

T.K. and everyone else gasped in horror.

"But . . . But . . ." Imperialdramon stuttered. It showed he was fighting his control.

"DO IT!" Davis raised his Dark Digivice into the air and yelled.

Imperialdramon's eyes glowed. He turned around and looked at Kari. His eyes teared up. He jerked his arm up and fired above her.

The blast hit the building, causing huge chunks of brick and concrete to fall above Kari.

Scenes of all the digi-destineds faces showed them in horror.

"KARI! NOOOOO!" T.K. yelled.

Kari took one last look at T.K. "T.K.!" She screamed before the rubble fell on her.

T.K. fell on his knees in tears! "KARI!"

Davis stood there laughing in an evil way.

Near by, a cloaked figure stood behind the stage laughing exactly like Davis.

Is this the end of Kari? What is wrong with Davis? Who is this Cloaked Figure? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!
