Hey this is the same last chapter but I redid it so it's Takari. There are now to choices of how to end this story to make everyone happy. Ok. Although the sequel WILL be Daikeru ok. So here's the other sided ending. Also personally I prefer the first ending but this is for my upset readers.

Sacrifices

(Tk's Pov)

Despair was right... He was more powerful but that never stopped me before and he's be darned if he let it stop him now. He knew what he was doing. He knew what he was risking, and he was Ok with that. He wasn't planning to win... but he wasn't going to lose either.

He hears footsteps approaching and looks to see his friends running towards him. They're following Wolfy in a dead run. He couldn't let them get to him. But how could he stop them? It's not like he could put up a magic barrier to hold them back.

"Looks like your so called friends are coming back," Despair comments.

"Thats right!" Tai yells as they come to a stop.

"And this time were staying!" Hawkmon yells.

"Wait! You guys can't fight," I yell.

(Normal Pov)

"What! Tk what do you mean?" Kari asks.

"This is my fight... Just me, and Despair. You can't interfere,"Tk says.

"But were a team! We shouldn't have left the first time and were definitely not leaving this time!" Cody yells.

"Yes ... Were a team," Tk says a bit unsurely. "But this fight is one on one."

"Just me and Hope," Despair says darkly. The whole team look a little unsure about what to do but I give them a smile and they visibly relax.

"Alright Despair. You get just what you wanted. Me in a fight alone," Tk yells.

"Then let the games begin!" Despair says happily. But an evil kind of happy.

So the fight starts. Tk against Despair. Hope against Despair. Good against evil. A boy against a digimon. A spirit against a spirit. A power against a power. A will against a will.

Despair makes the first move by jumping forward, fists at the ready. Tk dodges with a impossible speed and counters with his own attack of a boot to the belly. Despair also dodges at an even faster speed. Despair kicks outwards and gracefully at Tk who barely miss's it by flipping through mid air backwards and lands silently on his feet. He then springs forward and tackles Despair in the stomach. They both go down with a thump but Despairs foot makes contact with Tk's chest, pushing him away.

Tk was surprised by the power in that one kick. It wasn't even a fighting move, just trying to get him off himself. But the move sends Tk onto his back. Tk gets back up just in time to see a fist coming at him but not enough time to do anything about it but try and get away. But not fast enough. The fist makes solid contact with his left cheek sending him flying backwards. He whips the little bit of blood trickling down his chip with the back of his hand and push's himself to the balls of his feet.

"I told you your not a strong as me!" Despair smirks.

"He's right! Tk your not strong enough... but we can help!" Lana yells to Tk. Lana and Max had been surprisingly quiet.

"You were right earlier Tk. We aren't digi-destianed. We're here to help you. To make you stronger," Max yells too. They both pull off necklaces they wear all the time. They both start levitating up into the air and a yellow light comes out of both of them. It fly's towards Tk as they both fall back down to earth... unlifely.

"No!" Tk yells as the light gets closer and swipes up his arm. Suddenly a barrier is made and the yellow lights bounce off it before going back into the bodies of Lana and Max. Tk looks at the barrier he made and soon realizes it's not a barrier. It's ice. Ice he made. (Ps. To Rubyeyed10: Great job in guessing the right power though he can't control water. :)). Also to anyone who cares I'll answer all the review questions after the story is done. Sorry I didn't do it sooner).

Lana and Max rise up onto their feet. They look at everyone confusingly. Genia said they were to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world. It was their fate, their destiny, so why was that destiny changed so suddenly.

"No sacrifices! I won't allow it!" Tk yells.

"I see you've found your power, but that won't help you now. I'm still stronger and you haven't ever practiced your power," Despair laughed. Tk's hand noticeable tightens into a fist, his hand turning white with the strain.

"I'll show you!" Tk yells and they once again both jump into battle. Punch's, kicks, elbows, smacks and slaps are heard as the battle rages. Neither fighter giving up.

(DAVIS'S POV)

"So what would you do to save the one's you love? What would any of you do?" Hope asks looking at all of us. Well I've answered that before to myself but not out loud. I know I couldn't save anyone not because I actually couldn't but I just for some reason can't risk my life for another. I know it's pretty mean but I just can't help it. I notice no one is talking. Do they feel the same way as me?

"I see. None of you would do anything," Hope says.

"I would-" Yolie starts but gets cut off.

"It's worse to lie then to do nothing while your friends are dying," Hope cuts Yolie off.

"So let me get this right. You all would do nothing while your friends and family possible die. You would all watch. Your normal then. Many would do nothing as their friends and family die, many would even be to shocked to move to try and save that person but you guys are different. Many wouldn't even get the chance to try and save friend or family cause nothing bad might not happen to them but you guys, well you have to save lives every day. You have to protect each other from so many things no one else would ever have to face. If you don't protect each other then you won't make it but right now all I see and saw was Tk protecting you guys but you guys don't protect him," Hope says. I am really feeling guilty now. He's right we don't protect him.

"Why is it that way?" I ask.

"Because he cares for you more than himself. What is Tk to you?" Hope asks.

"What do you think? He's our friend!" Matt exclaims.

"No I want to hear it from each of you. Cody first," Hope says and looks at Cody.

"Well Tk's my partner (He become's Davis's later but I don't know when) and my friend. Someone I look up to," Cody says.

"Ok now Yolie," Hope says.

"Well when I met him he was a charming and nice guy. He's always been a friend and never put me down, he always gave me hope and believed in me," Yolie says.

"Next Ken," Hope says.

"Well he was a friend but we weren't very close. He understood what I was going through when I sometimes didn't. He could somehow relate to me in a way I have no clue how he did," Ken says.

"Yes now Kari," Hope says.

"Well he's my boyfriend and I love him. I always have but I didn't always admit I did. He always protected me." Kari says with a sad smile.

"Next Izzy," Hope says. I notice he skips me and goes to the older DD's.

"Well Tk was with us from the beginning but we never really made it to great and best friends. We are friends but not the best. He's someone I never thought I'd be friends with," Izzy says.

"Ok Joe," Hope says.

"He was a friend and in a way looked up to me as the oldest but he looked up to most of the others much more. I'm happy I got to see him grow up," Joe says.

"Mimi," Hope says.

"Well Tk was so cute when he was younger. I've always wanted a little brother and he was like one to me," Mimi says.

"Ok now Sora," Hope says.

"Tk to me is someone important. He was always like a son to me and I his mother. He once said with me around he didn't miss his mom as much and it made me so happy to hear that. I love him like a son," Sora says.

"Now Davis," Hope says. Well it's my turn now.

"He was my best friend. We stuck up for each other whether it was from a teacher yelling at one of us or one of up got in a fight and the other would fight along side the other even if the odds were against us. We still never lost, It could even have been sticking together to have company, we were best friends and never let the other down. If something was wrong we looked into it and helped each other. He's my best friend," I say. Not one word was a lie there.

"Yes now Tai," Hope says. It's like what ever we say isn't good enough to Hope.

"Well he was like a little brother to me. The youngest of the group and the one we always had to take care of. Even as he grew up he was still the youngest to me. I always tried to take care of him as the youngest," Tai says.

"Max," Hope says.

"He was like family to me. We lived together for a while and became good friends. We could always relate," Max says.

"Ok Lana," Hope says.

"He was like a brother older than me. He always took care of me and was a great friend," Lana says.

"Ok last Matt," Hope says. I think he purposely left Matt for last.

"Well he was my brother and I always tried to protect him no matter his age. I soon learned he didn't need protection and was growing up but I still was protective. The reason I was like that wasn't just because he was my brother but also because I lost him once when we were kids and I never got to see him grow up. Even from the eight year old to his eleven year old self and again I missed another year when he left. I didn't want to lose him. When he was younger he was the youngest of the group and couldn't really take care of himself. I was alway worried about him," Matt says.

"So you say you want to protect him but..." Hope says.

"He's the one protecting us," Matt and Tai say together.

"Do you want to know what he said when I asked him what he would do to protect his friends and family?" Hope asks.

"Yeah," Yolie and Cody say.

"He said he would go to the end of the world and back to protect you. He said he would die for you," Hope says. What kind of people are we? Tk would die for us while we just stand around and do nothing and the worst part is he doesn't do it to be the hero. He does it cause it's the right thing to do yet we wouldn't even do it. We should protect each other but he's the only one doing the protecting. Thats not fair on him. I look over at Tk fighting for his life. There's so much we never did for him. I feel I need to make up for it somehow.

(Tk's Pov)

Despair kicks Tk in the stomach and when he falls to his knee's Despair elbows him in the head forcing him to the ground with a groan. He then stands over Tk with a foot on his back holding him down. "Pathetic! Your weak. I was hoping for a challenge but I should have expected this. You'll never be strong enough to bear me," Despair yells. Tk tries to push himself up off the ground but fails with the pressure of Despairs foot on him.

Despair laughs at Tk's struggle to rise and gets off him and with a jump he's on the other side of their battle field. Tk push's himself up and finally makes it to his feet. He needed his ice powers and he needs them now. He still hasn't mastered his power yet though. Well... nows as good a time as ever and with that he holds out his left hand his side and closes his eyes trying to concentrate on what he wants to make.

"What's he doing!" Tai demands.

"That stupid kid! He's trying to use his power and hasn't mastered it. He could destroy us all!" Hope yells angrily.

"I trust him. I know he can do it," Kari says forcefully.

"He's our friend. If we don't believe in him, trust him who will?" Davis asks. They all look back to Tk with thoughts running through their heads in time to see ice forming in his hand as his desired shape. A sword.

Tk opens his eye's when he feels his powers stop in time to see a shining sword sitting comfortably in his hand in all it's glory. The handle was dark and thick with an ice grip on it and at the end was a 3d ice piece shaped as a diamond. Where the blade starts there's a half square shaped piece sticking out at the side that turns into a point and comes back to the handle. On the other side it sticks out in a jagged way with curvy designs in it and then a curve till it goes into the full blade. It's about two feet long and curves at the end. It was really a beautiful blade. (Look up ice blade on google image and you should find it there).

The sword fit perfectly in his hand like it was made for it. It wasn't too heavy just the perfect weight too. With a smile he looked up to Despair.

"Nice. You formed that on your first try. Impressive... but not impressive enough!" And with that Despair formed his own sword out of darkness. It had a black leather handle with a shiny black blade and spikes going all the way down it and a silver line in a strain line going all the way down. On the end of the handle were two black strings that dangled.

"Lets go!" Tk yelled and lunged forward at the same time as despair. Their swords clash as they meet in the middle and each try to push their sword forward onto the other. With a matched power they push away from each other and once again lunge forward. These actions are repeated. The side liners can barely make out their movements only seeing blurs and when their swords meet.

Despair and Tk once again meet in the middle and just as Tk push's away Despair removes his blade to above his head and brings it crashing down on the backing away Tk. A cloud of dust covers the field and when it clears you can make out a panting Tk and a smirking despair.

"Tk," Matt whispers. Tk's eye's were on his leg but they cut upward to look Despair in the eyes. Despairs blade left a deep, long, ridged cut down Tk's calf but it curves around till it gets to the shin and sinks downward to touch the bone and drags along the bone scratching it slightly but painfully. As Despair withdraws his blade Tk push's backwards to the edge of the field before crumbling down to one knee.

"Tk! Are you alright?" Yolie asks in a yell.

"Does he look alright to you!" Mimi demands a little to harshly and instantly turns to a face of sorrow at Yolies hurt expression. Yolie instantly forgives her.

"I'm fine! It's just a little cut!" Tk yells back. They decide not to point out its more then a little cut cause that won't help Tk at the moment.

"You fell so easily. Are you giving up already?" Despair questions.

"Never!" Tk yells and forces himself to his feet. They once again lunge at eachother. Once their blades meet Tk slides his down to the end of it and with all his strength in one fluid motion push's it away and forces his blade back to swipe at Despair. He makes his mark on Despairs stomach leaving a thin line of blood flowing.

"Very creative," Despair whispers before bringing his own sword down. It cuts through Tk's Chest deeper then Tk made it. They both push backwards. And once again the pushed forward. Their swords met and the struggled to overpower the other. Despair gained some power as he inched Tk's blade further and further down.

Tk new he could win now. All he had to do was switch this blade to the other side of Despairs and shove it away, he could then plunge his sword into Despair and win this battle, once and for all. It was his time to shine for once.

"Tk!" He heard someone yell in the background. He and Despair looked to see Davis running towards them. With a smirk Despair push's away and throws his sword at Davis as hard as he could. With a yell from Tk he push's against the ground trying to reach Davis in time.

The second his leg push's against the ground it gives away and he falls to the ground hard. His arms break his fall but nothing more then scratch's. He watch's as the blade plunges into Davis as he tries to escape his fate. He watch's Davis fall. His body hitting the ground is the only sound heard. "... Davis!" Tk forces his leg to work and races over to his fallen friend. He kneels next to him and flips him over. He pulls the blade out and lets out a sigh of relief that the blade didn't penetrate him but cut his side and arm.

Tai, Matt and Ken run out and help get Davis back out of the battle field. "I'm sorry Tk. I didn't mean to cause you trouble... I thought you were in trouble."

"Its fine Dai! Just next time don't attack someone if they hold a sword and you don't," Tk calls out.

"TK! Watch out!" Sora yells and Tk turns in time to see Despair blade coming at him. He quickly lifts his own to block it. Despair push's down then curves his sword around to swiftly fling Tk's strait out of his hands. He then proceeds to attack the unarmed Tk.

Despairs sword is going so fast you can't see it make contact with Tk's body or where he's aiming. You can hear Tk's grunts of pain though. With one last slash Despair stops and steps back to reveal a beaten and bloody Tk. Tk stands for a minute before he tips over, face first into the dirt.

"Tk... Tk... TK!" Matt yells and races over to his fallen brother but is stopped by Tai who grabs Matts arms behind his back and holds him so he can't get hurt like Davis... Or like Tk.

"Lem me go! Lem me go! For god sake's Tai he's my little brother. My little brother who's hurt and I have to get to him, protect him... Tai you of all people should understand what it's like to have your little sibling hurt and the need to protect them... TAI! Please!" Matt begs.

"Matt. Tk's like a little brother to me to but we can't go get killed out there!" Tai yells.

"Tai... Please," Matt begs. Tai releases him not because he looks like he was about to cry or because he was begging or because he was his best friend but because he knows what it's like to have a younger sibling just like Matt said and he knew if it was Kari out there he'd be doing the same thing as Matt right now.

"Thanks..." Matt whispers before running to the fallen Tk. Just as he's about to reach him Despair stands in the way.

"Ah ah ah. No interfering," Despair says before throwing Matt backwards. With a growl Matt forms an bow and arrow in his hand and releases it aimed at Despair. He dodges it with a laugh.

"I was going to respect Takeru's with to not have you guys involved but I guess you involved yourselves," Despair said before running at Matt with his sword. Matt holds his bow up as defense against the sword. He knew his bow would only defend him a little. He feels a sudden heat and looks to his side to find Tai standing next to him using his power to help fend off Despair.

"Stop!" A strain voice calls and all look to see Tk on his hands and knee's. "Stop right now. No one gets hurt."

"What! You still think you can beat me. Not even all your friends together can beat me never mind one single person," Despair laughs.

"Thats where you're wrong. I may be one fighter, one person but I've got every single persons hope inside of me. And with everyone believing, trusting in me I can't, won't, refuse to lose to you. And don't you go near my friends!" Tk says in a deadly whisper.

"Fine then. Give me all you got but you still won't win!" Despair yells. Tk then reforms his sword as his other shattered into pieces. He stands to his feet and sways on the spot for a second before steadying. "I won't lose!" The clash of swords was all that was heard. Every so often blood splattered on the dirt ground yet the Digidestained didn't know who's it belonged to. They desperately hoped it didn't belong to Tk.

Finally the battle seemed to freeze. In the middle was Daspair and Tk. Tk was beaten and bloody and looked barely able to stand while Despair was fine besides a few cuts. "Tk! You can do it! I know you can!" Davis yells from the sideline. Joe had managed to heal his cuts and he was fine now.

"You won't win. Good won't beat evil this time," Despair whispered and pushed harder down.

"I will!" Tk insists. "You won't win! I'll make sure of that!" Tk push's back as hard as he could and Despairs sword moved. On Despairs face was a look of shock and strain as he tried to fend Tk off but this time Tk wouldn't lose. He closed his eyes and used his senses like he told Davis to do. In one sweep of his arm Despairs sword was gone and Tk had his blade to Despairs neck.

"It seems like you lose," Tk whispers.

"Thats where you're wrong child of Hope," Despair says and then continues in a whisper. "This was all just a test, a test to see if you were worthy of the symbol of Hope. You managed to beat me, but only barely. When the time comes you better be ready, cause next time I won't hold back." After that Despair disappeared in a cloud of smoke and there was nothing Tk could do but watch all his work in this fight get wasted.

"Tk you did it!"

"Well done Teeks."

"We won!"

"Ha! Take that Despair!"

"That'll teach him not to mess with us!"

"The digiworld is safe again!"

'NO! The digiworld is not safe. This was just a simple fight we won in this cruel, cruel war. They're wrong... This is just the beginning of it.'

Kari walks up to Tk with a frown and goes to his ear. "Tk after this fight I realized something. When you were hurt I felt hurt too. I love you I really do and I don't want to see you hurt like this ever again. Please be more carful" She whispers. He loves her so much and she cares for him just as deeply.

"Sure Kari. I love you," He says. Everyone else looks at them weirdly. He then pulls her into a simple, sweet kiss.

"Nicely done Teeks. But now I'm itching to fight," Tai says.

"We need to get you healed or something," Matt hovers worriedly.

"Hm?" Tk says confusedly.

"Your hurt. Lets sit you down so Joe can help you," Matt rephrases.

"Oh ya sure. Lets do that," He mumbles.

"Teek?" Tai asks as he reachs up to feel Tk's forehead.

"Yep! You know what's cool? Ice cream. Its cold and sweet and, and, and cold." Tk says dreamily.

"Tk?" Ken says unsurely at Tk's unusual behaviour.

"Ugg. I don't feel well," Tk says before tipping forward. Everyone yells his name as falls. He smiles as he feels someone catch him in their arms and turn him over. He looks up into the face of his friend Davis. He's saying something but Tk can't make out the words, so he sits and watch's. What a good friend.

Joe and Matt are on his other side as Davis lays him gently down onto the dirt road. Tai also kneels next to Davis. All their mouths are moving. Tk wonders what they are saying and if they are talking about him.

"We need to get him home where I can treat him better. A clean bed and warm blanket will help alot," Joe orders.

"I'll carry him," Matt offers.

"Lets move!" Tai says taking lead once again. Matt scoops the other blond up into his arms as if he weighed nothing more then a feather.

Tk's world starts to blur and everyones faces become blobs. The sky's spinning in circuls, round and round and round. One last thought plages him before he falls into the blissfull darkness where his headache is nothing and the cuts don't burn.

'Like I thought earlier... This war is far, far from over. But I will do anything to make sure my army comes out on top. Because there will be no sacrifices, I'll make sure of that personally.'

The End...

I know it leaves at a cliff hanger but thats the end of this story. There will be answers to the review questions next. I hope you enjoyed this story I wrote and please review. Thanks a lot!
