Disclaimer- I do not own digimon

Note: Forget the 25 years later stuff at the end of series 2; this may change some of their lives from it. Malomyotismon was defeated a few months early and most people forgot most it but not the digi-destined and some others.

Tai lifestyle change part 79

Kari smile as she watches Tai finish the fight. She stumbles on the slop as rush to her brother, who is at the moment a small brown kitten. She slips on the rain cover grass. Kari found herself on her back and still moving down the hill but now greater that want she wanted. At the bottom, She rollover the scratch and slash earth. Then, she climes to her feet and with no caring about her wet and stinging back, she continues her charge.

Kari push herself over a log to see Agumon. The dinosaur cradles a small feline in his arms. Agumon lift Tai to Kari. "He is sleeping," he says as Kari took were-digimon from Agumon.

"He is strong," Kari says. She looks at the small cat sleeping in her arms. His paws sway softly. His small nose twitch as his ears tickle Kari's arm. She lowers her hand to rub the kitten's belly. The moment she touches, Tai release a soft purr. She moves her sight over to Agumon. "Let's get to the others," Kari says.

"Hey wait up," Salamon call out as she as force herself under the fallen log. The puppy like digimon shook her body to remove the mud.

"It good to see you're safe," Kari says as she scoop up the puppy digimon.

"Why are you not carrying me?" Agumon ask.

"You can walk yourself," Kari says. She quickly rose to her feet and walk away.

"I want a ride," Agumon yelled as he chases his partner's sister.

Sora came from the cave with Biyomon resting on her shoulder. Sora ran up to Kari. She stops and looks at the small feline on in younger female. "Is Tai alright?" Sora asked as she rubbing Tai.

"He is fine," Kari says, "I think he just tired."

"That is good. Let get to the others and get to a place to rest," Sora answers.

"I notice that you arms are free," Agumon says, "So how about a ride."

"No," Sora says as she turns.

Later, they enter Gennai's base. Kari walks into the room she woke a few hours ago. She place Tai into the bed. "You did great, Brother," Kari says as she pushes the sheets around Tai.

"You two are so lucky." Kari turns to Mimi. The teen with pink hair places a hand on Tai.

"How so?" Kari asks to the pink hair teen.

"You are so close to Tai," Mimi says, "I never have a brother or sister. Sometime I wonder what it is like to have a sibling." Mimi steps to the side to lets Kari pass her by.

"It is true you are close but," Kari pauses, "We share the same parents and each can only focus on one at a time."

Mimi nods as she and Kari walks down the hall. They remain silent from the many steps until Kari spokes, "Is there any news?"

"Gennai is sending a force to Controlmon's fortress," Mimi says.

"Shouldn't we come with them?" Kari says, "Who know what digimons are in that place."

"It is empty," Mimi says, "While we are fighting the bone monsters, Gennai watch with his satellites. They all start to run from there. He says that many of his people left with digimon following them. Some carry large boxes."

"That make no sense," Kari answer.

"I know," Mimi says, "Gennai sent teams there to learn what they can. He also hope to learn how Controlmon is blocking our way home."

"I hope there are no digimons around them," Kari says, "else they could be in danger but I hope they can find how and can stop it. I miss mom and my new sister."

"I sure they can find it," Mimi says, "Then we can rest and return to our normal life."

"I don't know about that," Kari answered, "We have Datamon around. He is so eager to attack us."

Elsewhere, Datamon sat with a white light filling around it. He type as he spoke, "The mixing of human and digimon seam to have proven to be difficult. The data from my two experiments have missing important parts. Forcing two to change did not have the result wanted. The link between their human and digimon body shapes are weak. Even after Gennai engineered it so they can change their forms it is not under their control and proved unstable. The second of created new life that is a blend on human and digimon show even less changes. The bodies are even more stable and changeless. Both experiments have results nothing like the original. If I could study the change in another from the start using the same condition that made the original. I should find a subject that would work. One of blood relationship will be good." His typing gain more speed. Then Datamon stop and spoke, "If human life form can change into digimon life form. Then a digimon life form in theory can change into human life form. Both experiment must be prepared. To get the subjects need for my experiments, they notice that I have hack into their systems."

Later back at Gennai's base, Sora sneak into the bed room. She smiles as she walk over to a brown cat. She scratches Tai's head. Slowly he opens his eyes. "Good morning," Sora says softly.

"Morning," Tai says before he yawn.

"I just want to thank you for saving us," Sora answer. She move closer until she peck her lips to the end on Tai's muzzle. Tai start to laugh. "What is so funny?" Sora ask.

After a some more laughter, Tai was able to speak once more, "You just kiss a cat."

"I kiss you," Sora says, "Tai, I was so worry about your fight today. I though I would need to search all the Digi-eggs at primary village."

"You were that worry?" Tai ask.

"After all that happen you been on my mind," Sora answer, "Tai, I want to stay with you no matter what you body is…" She lean again and kiss Tai once more.

Look into the room, Biyomon grunt. Agumon stop at her. "Human like human more."

"Tai is not all human," Biyomon answer.

"Most of his life he is human," Agumon says. He look at Tai letting the kiss continue. "Look like he made his choice. If you want to cry on someone"

"I'll think about it," Biyomon answer as she fly away.

"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Palmon asks as she stop spying on Agumon from the corner, "Look like a new struggle is about to start. Pink petal will win against pink feathers."

In the darkness of the castle, a group of human like walks over the littler. The walls are well keep but the floor cover with splinter wood, broken bottle and other filth. "Treen," one says as he slid light from his flashlight over the broken junk gather in the corners, "They really trash this place."

"Quite," the leading man said, "We need to learn what we can. Remember that traps are best hidden in the rubble. If it was meant or not."

"We know," the last of the group says, "Lets get this done with this."

"I will make you done." The word crawl from the darkness. They turn to the path they just took. From the ground a shadow rises from the ground. Only its right eyes could be seen through a red made with a black mark on it.

"What are you?" the leader ask as place a hand on his sword.

"I came for my master," the words came from the darkness of the form.

"There was only one master of this castle," the leader grunt as her pull out his sword.

With only a flicker on the forms' cloak and the leader of Gennai's men broke into particle. The particles swirl around the form and slowly slither through the black cloak. The form eyes look at the other two of Gennai's men. They turn and ran. In the hollowness on the castle they call for help. Then one scream for a moment before braking. The last one stop as the particles continue.

"As weak as ever," the form spoke, "How your kind trap my master has no logic proof to validate it. Letting you continue to function would be harmful to our objectives." After a flicker on its cloak the form turns. Particles chase after it as it move through the darken halls of the castle.

It came to a large room with a large throne at the end on a long carpet. It move over black feather to a statue under a handing crossbow. "Master," the form spoke as it lift the statue, "This world once more need your aid to correct it. They stop the D-reaper, you greatest tool. When I freed it, they destroy it." It slides the statue under its cloak. "I will free you so you can save this world."

Meanwhile, Datamon sat at his computer finishing the last of his plan. He watches his two subjects walking alone. "Now would be the appropriate time to acquire," the cybernetic digimon state, "I won't have a long time."

At Gennai's base, Kari giggle at a joke that Gatomon told. Then the lights darken. With heavy bands the door close around them. A gray smoke start to fill the place. Kari whine as a burn scratch into her throat. "We need to get out here," Kari mutter through the pain. Gatomon nodded and they ran the only open tunnel.

Elsewhere, Tai ran though the shadow flooded tunnels. The Agumon's heavy breathing can be heard. He stop see Gennai before him. "What happen?" Tai ask.

"Someone took over the lock down systems," Gennai answer, "The one that did it is a master of the computer. I am going to the manual override. Check your friends."

Meanwhile, Datamon watch as Kari and Gatomon drop to the ground. With a few command the gas left the small hall. He turns to a large digimon behind him. The digimon had the body of Wargreymon. An eagle and dove wing from it back. A large sword hand between them. A black helmet cover its face with two spike reach down over its chest. Its arms made of blue and sliver metal. "Go Sinchdramon lead the others and bring them here."

"I will act with your order our creator," the large digimon answer. It bow before it spoke once more, "Should the taken of the two lead to a chase?"

"Do not stop the until the two subjects are here," Datamon said, "Stay together until you return here and then fight them as one."

"The battle would hold better ease if I alone carry the two while the rest remain to ready for the battle," Sinchdramon answered.

"That sounds good," Datamon answer, "Tell the other I would like the one that can change between a human and feline digimon as a living subject."

"Your words shall be carry on," the large digimon answered. It bow once more and walk from the room.

Later, Tai look at his fellow digi-destineds. They have each group during the emergency and they gather in the meeting room when they tunnels were cleared. "Have anyone see Kari?" he ask. He was answer by only lowering heads in shame.

"I am afraid she was taken," Gennai said, "One of our teleported was used during the lockdown. Then the log was deleted."

"So we can not follow?" Tai asked.

"The log was but not the system data," Gennai answer, "I can get you close to where they are."

"Lets get going," Tai yelled.

A little later, Tai look around the place. Sand hill as far as he can see. With only a few object rose from them. He stop to look at a well. "That well," Tai said, "I think I seen it."

"We have. This is the located we search for our creasts," Izzy answered, "In fact there is the well where crests were hidden."

"So that oases is near by?" Mimi ask.

"The perfect hiding place. Best place to search," Tai answer.

"Its this way," Izzy answer.

The group follow Izzy. TK still found it uneasy that the waste land before him changes into a lust jungle. A sliver glint came to his eyes. He stop and lift the small object up. "Look," he spoke with a voice rattle by anger, "This is Kari's camera."

"She is here but it's a large area so everyone make small groups and spread out," Tai yelled, "Search the place and don't let anyone stop you."

"Tai are you sure?" Sora asked, "What if there are digimons protecting this place?"

"Trust me," Tai answer trying to make a calming smile. "If we spread out then at least someone could get pass them."

"Alright," Sora answer, "Mimi would you mind coming with me. I would like to have a little girl talk."

"Sure," Mimi said.

Tai watch as the rest of the digi-destined walk away in small groups. "Lets go," Tai said.

"Are you sure about us going alone?" Agumon asked.

"It will be easier for us to travel," Tai answered, "and if it is true that the one I believe is behind this then being alone he may lead me to him."

"If you say so," Agumon answer.

A little bit away, Davis led his group. He looks at Ken, Yoli and Jun. "Any ideal about where to go?" Davis ask.

"I had never been here," Ken answer, "I'll fly up witch stingmon to search around."

"Better yet," Yoli answered, "Hawkmon can fly up." Yoli turn to her partner on her shoulder. "Just flew up so you can see above the tree and see around. Stay hidden."

"Right," Hawkmon said as he flew up.

"So now what?" Turbomon ask.

"We both know it," Yoli answered, "We wait for Hawkmon return."

"I know but that does not mean what I would like," the bunny digimon responded, "I want something to do around here."

"Same here," Yoli said

"They are both energy balls," Ken answer.

"Turbomon is fun to have around around," Jun said.

"Hey," Hawkmon called as he flew down. "There is a house not far from her on top of some steps."

"That is a good place to start," Ken answered.

Sora and Mimi walk through the jungle looking for anything. "So," Mimi said. The talkative girls found that the words were not coming like the normally do.

"Yes?" Sora asked as she steps over a fallen log.

"You seam close to Tai just now," Mimi said.

"Well," Sora mutters. She remains silent as she try to think of what to say. Sora found it hard to tell her friend that the guy they were both after have choose her…well she thinks that Tai choose her. "I had a nice talk with him just a little while ago after we kiss."

"You kiss Tai rookies form," Biyomon states.

"He didn't fight it," Sora answer, "and we return it."

"I see," Mimi softly mutter. She did not know what else to say. She lost Tai to Sora. It was hard for her she like Tai and the bond he had with Kari. That just made her even more scare. She felt as if she wants entering their family in a way that not even Sora have done. She did not want to lose that. Two pain instead one pierce of her heart.

Next to Mimi, Palmon stairs at Biyomon. She is not happy that Tai taken the chosen the way he did. It not the his feline body caught her eyes like he did with Biyomon but he did keep Biyomon eyes from laying onto Agumon. With Biyomon eyes no longer focus on Taigermon, she not able to notice those eyes on her. Now, Palmon will need to work harder to get those eyes off the pink bird and with luck onto her pink flower.

"Look who came to my sights."

They stop too see a tall woman standing on some rock above them. Her tan skin is cover by a leotard of leaves. Her brown hair reach pass her back and held rose petals in it. Gold bands remain around their wrist and ankles. She points her spear at the digi-destineds. "I fear I must stop you from moving farther," She spoke.

Biyomon and Palmon digivolve. Garudamon and Lillymon flew at the unknown digimon. The strange digimon smile as her gold band glow. "Image override," she yelled just before a flash came over them.

Lillymon recover her sight. She notices the female digimon flying next to her. She press her palms together and form her cannon. She turn to see the three more of the enemy digimon.

"Which is the real me and which is a fake," all the digimons spoke, "Which enemy is the enemy and which enemy is friend. Don't bother calling to your friends, they won't hear you."

Lillymon remain still as she stair at the enemy appearing in many places. Each moving the same way. She look down at her body but see the enemy's instead. She yelled but her words did not even come to her own ears.

Meanwhile Joe and Izzy walk along a small stream. From the tree metal cords came from the trees. "Salutation," Before there a human shape digimon said. The right side of it face is a smooth metal while the left said is a pale gray. Its chest is cover by a white lab coat. Its robotic limps reach had metal tentacles coming from the back of them. It reaches into swirling blankness in tree. "My apologetic." the digimon spoke, "My master order me to delay you. First I need to remove those pesky devices." His tentacles rise up and knock their digivice to the ground.

"That not fair," Gomamon yells, "At least give us a fighting chance."

"My regretful action is to keep from fighting," the digimon said, "I wish not to engage in a struggle but I was order to delay you."

After trying to get free, Joe asks, "If you don't want to fight then why are you here?"

"That is true," the digimon answers, "My wish is not to remain here and fight. But by manufacturer made sure I unable to act on my desire when they are conflicted with his. I will just detain you until I need to leave."

Meanwhile TK rush through the jungle. Matt struggle to keep up. "Come on Matt we need to save Kari," TK spokes.

"I Sinchdramon will stand between that path," the wargreymon like digimon says as flew he from the forest.

"Get out of our way," TK yells.

"That action shall be against my action of taking that young human," the digimon says, "and we would not hold a fight to show our might." He readies his blade.

At the top of a long flight of stairs, Davis and his group look at large building. In the gray walls countless windows. The two story building had only one door.

"Do we need to enter?" Turbomon ask.

"Yes," Davis said as we lift the bunny digimon up. Yoli follow close glaring at the Turbomon. Davis pushes the door open and leads the group into the empty room.

"I don't like this," Yoli says as she moves closer to Davis.

"There is nothing here," Ken says as the door closed behind him. A slam fill the room. The group turn to see the door closed.

"That's strange," Jun says.

As Jun reaches for the door, and spike thrust from the floor. Jun scream as more thrust up. Ken drop under a spike coming from the wall.

"We need to get out of her," Jun yells as she jumps back from new spike.

"Not a problem," Davis calls, "Flamedramon bust the window."

Davis's partner nods as his gauntlets glow. The window easily shatter to the burning attack. With Turbomon and Yoli in his arms Davis jumps through the broken glass. Outside, Davis as Ken and Wormmon were the last to escape the building.

"No far," the building yells as it broke down into a gray blob. Then nets capture the grey matter into a human shape form. A bear trap hang like a necklace. "I had so many traps planned but you skip all of them."

"Like what?" Yoli ask.

"I had paintings of knight and plan to have the lance thrust at you," the large digimon says.

"Isn't that lame," Turbomon says.

"That right. It just like main room," Yoli says.

"Then what would you do for a trap?" the large digimon asks.

"Distract you small talk," Both Yoli and Turnbomon spoke at the same time.

The large digimon look up at Imperialdramon and yelled. "No far!"

Meanwhile Mimi remains still as she looks at the female enemy around her. Mimi can not see her own arm rise up. Only the female digimon voice can be heard. Sora rubs her nose that she can not see as she try to come up with a way to stop the digimon.

Tai and Agumon walk slowly through the small caves. Metal walls soon replace the rock. "It has change since we were here last time," Tai says as he lights installed in the walls.

"It was fog filled last time," Agumon answer, "I like it better."

Elsewhere MetalGarurumon growl as the Sinchdramon dodge his missiles. Sinchdramon grab MagnaAngemon and move angle into a missiles. The angle digimon scream at the freezing pain.

"This battle flow weakly," Sinchdramon says, "Worthless battle should be stop soon. Giga-Slash." He force the blade into the ground. Sinchdramon thrust his blade into the ground sending flaming energy around. Matt and TK can only watch as their partners scream and drop to the grounds.

"I shall seek a better fight," Sinchdramon answers. He flies away.

Matt ran to his partner. "MetalGarurumon are you alright?" he asks.

"I am just down," The robotic wolf grunt, "I just need to gather my strength."

"You notice that he only use one attack once," MagnaAngemon says as he moves into a sitting pose.

Nearby, Sora try to moan trying to get find a way. She looks at her foot sliding over the loose dirt. She watch as a dirt seam part to form into a line. Sora smile as she draws in the dirt. Nearby, Mimi watches the line appear from no here. Mimi smile as she start to do the same.

Garudamon watches as the dirt become mark. He lands and starts to draw as well. He watch the marks appear under three enemies. The he watch as the enemy move a foot making a line. He cross his arms as heat gather at his change. "Wing Blade!" he yells. His attack slams into the enemy. The rest of the enemies around him the enemies fade away. In silent, Garudamon turn from the braking digimon to Lillymon, Sora and Mimi.

Elsewhere, Sinchdramon flies over the grounds. "Come rage of war show me you location," he spokes as his sight travel.

"You found it," Imperialdramon says.

"I hope you are better challenge than two I fought before," Sinchdramon says as he lows himself to the ground. With a hiss, he turns to see missiles rushing up at him. He flew up dodging all the missiles.

"He is nimble," MetalGarurumon says, "But his attack are limited."

Deep in the cave, Tai and Agumon came to a large room. Metal plate over the wall. The only light came from a spot light shine onto tubes with Kari and Gatomon. Datamon types on his computer nearby. Light filled the tube.

"What are you doing," Tai yelled as he run into the room.

"If it's not the source of all my research," the cybernetic digimon spokes, "I am trying to recreate the changes in you."

"You let them go now!" Tai yelled, "Agumon it's time."

"I can not stop you from doing this," Datamon yelled as he ran to the glowing tubes. With a rattle the tubes slip back as the wall spread open. Both Datamon and the tubes enter a metal form that widen upwards. On top of it two gallant weapons. The thick arms had long tentacles from the top of them. Its web metal feet lift that machine from the ground.

"I may not be a mega but this suit gives me power of one," Datamon says as he looks a Wargreymon, "I will continue this research." This gallant started to fine many energy at the mega.

Wargreymon use his claw to block the attacks. After, he rushes at the machine. The thrust with his claw stop when a tube was move before it. Wargreymon just look at the tube. Then, Datamon smile before a tentacle slams into armor warrior.

Wargreymon rush to his feet and thrust his claw gauntlet at Datamon. The machine's thick arms grab the mega's arms.

"I found there is a problem with fast movement and that is it can maintain high pressure for a long time," Datamon says, "So I added both system into this frames." The metal arms thrust Wargreymon's claw into the ground. The claw blades pierce deep into the ground. "Thanks you for bring trans life form subject zero one to me but you not require." The machine thick arms slam into Wargreymon. Its weapons continue to shoot at the mega sliding over the ground.

Wargreymon push up with his now bare arm. He lift the dislodged gauntlet as he got to his feet. He quickly throws it at Datamon. The cybernetic digimon ducks under the blade. The machine scream as it gets pierce.

Datamon laughs as he release more attack at them. Wargreymon only claw did little to block the attacks. The machine walk closer to the mega digimon. Its thick metal arm grab and crush the Wargreymon's remaining blades.

"I knew this was going to happen," Datamon spokes as the machine lifts Wargreymon. "I study all your attacks before we started to fight."

"In a fight it's not what happens before," Wargreymon grunt, "but what happen while." He punches at Datamon. Once again Datamon duck from the attack. This time pain pierces into his back. Datamon look down to see tip of Wargreymon's dislodged blade coming from it metal. With a small gasp he watch his body brake up.

Meanwhile, Joe and Izzy remain still as the cords hold them loosen. "It seam my manufacturer was destroy," the digimon says, "I have no reason to continue. Please excuse me I have many things I wish to examine." He steps closer to Gomamon. "It seam I hurt you a little." He reaches into his coat and pull out a jar. He slide some cream over a small cut on Gomamon. "That could help."

"Okay thank," Gomamon says.

"Have a lollypop," the digimon says pulling out the candy.

"Thanks!" Gomamon cheers. After the digimon gave one to Tentomon, the digimons walk away. "Bye," Gomamon waves. "He was nice."

Tai push way some metal to see the glowing tubes. "Come on sisters be alright," he says as she type on the controls.

I'm leaving the reviewers choose what happen to Kari and Gatomon.

I know it been a long time.
