Chapter 13

A Fading Hope chapter 13: Light's Prayer
Song- chapter 34 by Riddle TM

I’m cold but I know that I shouldn’t be
Like I’ve woken up from a bad dream.
Time slows down to a crawl,
And sound comes through muffled to me
A long way off from here.
Life is precarious,
Just a thin line like a fragile spiders web.
But you can be invincible
Just find something to hold on to.
(I open at the close)
(Verse 2)
I hold the ring in my hand
I’ll be okay now I have the bitter truth at last.
Help me through, strengthen my resolve
Help me face Voldemort
With courage and without fear.
Life is precarious,
But that’s what makes all the difference.
I wonder if it hurts
I guess it’s time to find out.
(Chorus)
Here we are now at the bitter end
Holding onto loyalty and hope
We have courage, friendship and love
A magic stronger than anything you have.
(Verse 3)
I see around me people I love and I feel strong
Nothing can stop me now.
You took my family, can take my life
But I won’t be defeated,
That at least is clear.
Life is precarious,
But that doesn’t mean we can’t have hope.
I’m not afraid anymore.
Here’s to life, and here’s to love.
(Chorus)
And you underestimated us
You don’t understand friendship or love
Now Tom Riddle, this is the end.
The last thing to be defeated is death.

I chose THIS wrock song for both words and tune. It's slow and sad, but has this yearning, this edge of Hope and I liked that. because Kari and t.K. are left to fight, just them, their brothers are gone, their parents can't help, their Nakama, their friends closer than family are gone and it's just them but they won't give up, they won't, they won't. Kari knows, a bit, that something bad is coming, the Voice keeps telling her that the Past is becoming the future- now. that future is now. And T.K. will protect her. and they have that hope- that everything is going to be all right.

Story.
I had such a blast writing this one.
Ok, hands? how many of you did I fool? you thought it was T.K! don't worry. Izzy and Joe thought it was T.K. T.K. thought it was T.K. but we'll get to that in a sec.

So first we save Cody. Yay! He's not dead, just in the maybe kinda sorta evil possibly irreversable coma thing of doom. I like cody, but that doesn't mean no suffering. : P but see? I so foreshadowed that, with the Gatomon is good at catching and all. (if I were a pup I'd be wagging my tail. yay foreshadowing I'm so proud)

Also, sending him to the hospital. Smart. I like to think that Jim, as the new doctor, was on rounds for a all night shift and walked in and saw cody and freaked out and Armadillomon explained and Jim was just " Now, I've seen everything. they really go into the internet. and come out. and- oh crud, kid, on the floor, how do I explain this how do I explain this at all, Joe you better fix this!"
I love Jim. He shall live.
well, he's on Earth. bit safe(er) there.

And, Oh, Captain Koromon you are my favorite(right next to Captains Mal, America and Awesome.)
I love Capt. Koromon. He shall live.

And then I get to do one of my favorite things and refer back to the show. because really, it *is* like the old adventure, just K.K. and Kari and a prayer that they win the day. first it was just T.K., then just tai(shush) then just Kari, then everyone, then more of everyone, then T.K. and Kari and Pata and then.. people. I forgot where I was going with this. oh right. yay it's just like old times and holy crap history is repeating guys.

Oh, Takari feels and cuteness. seriously, Takari is my OTP. I love them so much but in this story they are 11 and not old enough to be declaring undying love for each other. that said, they are old enough to have crushes and be adorable. so they will. awww, look they are so sweet and T.K.'s been protecting her and she realises it and AAWWW.
I love T.K. and Kari.

and now they're on the mountain and guess what I did research. the words Matt "said" to him as a keychain? yeah, those are exact. I watched the episode over again. yay for exact wording!!
T.K. has a scary good memory. and yet he didn't remember Digitamamon's restaurant. yay for messing with canon. I'm doing that a bit. a lot. yeah. you'll see. be afraid.

And Oh Gosh the Voice and that terrible past is becoming the future? that's now. it's not the future anymore. past is becoming now. history is about to repeat. the only question is- whose?
will it be Kari's? doomed to watch a friend die for her? or is it T.K. who will have that fate?
*cue music* Dun dun duuuun.
*laughter*

and then there's battle. I still hate writing battle scenes. But I did more research- those are Devimon's real attacks. go research! and devimon's wining and arrows aren't working and patamon's already been beaten- but not dead.
I love Patamon. He shall live.
Probably.

and then Devimon's all "And now, Small One, you die" crap crap crap and then-
Oh, Kari. Oh, Kari.
She's not about to just sit there. she never was. first time she faced an evil digimon it was to offer herself   as the 8th child to save Matt's life. I like to think that Matt never forgot that, even with all the rampent life saving and getting saved that follows.
but she doesn't sit there, she screams for him to stop and she's not some silly little child that thinks he'll stop by askling, though he thinks she is because she's met evil, she's faced evil, she's fought evil and this girl has battled darkness and memories of darkness for years and she is Light and the Voice has told her to be brave and she is not a little girl but she is a warrior of Light and she is strong and she is-
the Small One.
Devimon? be afraid.
because She's not going to let her history repeat.

( also, Firefly reference SQUEEE. It's from Serenity- just the line ' my turn' about someone having always protected someone else. followed by River being epic. Kari's not river, but right now she's darn close.)


Also, so. many. typos.
My plan is to, when this story is all done, go back and edit edit edit and fix everything.
