never was mine and never will be mine.

It took T.k. about 3 seconds to get over shock and another complete second to catch up to Lyle.

"Explain"! He demanded holding his son tightly. His sky blue eye's turned pleading , "Please".

Lyle shrugged. "I didn't say anything"! A nearby tree cast a shadow across his face, "why", he said simply and continued walking.

T.k. stood there helplessly. He glanced behind him to his right to see if his wife heard, and was relieved to see she hadn't . Kari was talking to Yolei . Kari really didn't need to have extra stress.

"I won't let anything hurt him", T.k whispered forcefully to himself . "Lyle said maybe, and that maybe will work in my favor! Even if I have to strangle it and force it down fates throat."

T.k. slowly turned around and quickly headed back to his wife before she suspected anything.

As soon as he left Davis step out from behind the tree. 'The right place at the right time', he thought to himself. 'It's all in the timing'.

"So you mind telling us why you're here?" Davis snapped! He had followed Lyle back to the group. He had witnessed enough of this T.k. and T.k.'s son thing. That was suppose to be his son, not T.k.'s. Kari deserved better. He bet that T.k.'s affection towards his son a while ago was just a show. Plus he had a advantage in knowledge. He would prove he was worthy of Kari…one way or another.

"Alright", Lyle said drolly. "Since we have half the time in the world".

Tai growled under his breath.

"Right", Matt said sarcastically.

"An evil has returned". Lyle said simply and infinitively.

"No really", Davis said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Or you could just figure it out by yourself", Lyle responded.

"No, that's o.k.", Michael said quickly, "proceed".

"Right", Lyle said slowly, this time he rolled his deep blue eyes. "And they had to send me to deal with you people", he muttered under his breath.

Although it did have some benefits, he glanced at Kari then rested his eyes on Sora then just as quickly looked somewhere else. Tai had a very interesting set of females that were related to him someway or the other. Like his wife, especially his wife. And his sister wasn't bad either.

"So as I was saying", Lyle said clearing his throat. "This particular evil is after the strongest digi-destined".

Both Matt, Tai and Davis glanced at each other then at Kari.

"Who's that?", Sora had the decency of asking after a moment of silence.

'She had to be the one to ask", Lyle thought to himself as he let the silence stretch some more. If someone else asked he could of easily said an answer, since at the moment they weren't all "friends" Lyle inwardly shrugged. 'oh well'.

"I've been prevented from telling you", He looked at each one of tem as if he was looking at each of them dead in the eyes.

"Prevented", Ken asked raising an eyebrow.

"As in - I can't tell you and it's been set up that there will be consequences if I tried". Lyle said as if it were the most normal thing to say in the world.

Everyone just stared at Lyle blankly. "You aren't use to the consequences for information deal are you?" Lyle asked knowing the answer.

"That would be accurate", Joe said, his tone letting Lyle know that he knew Lyle already knew the answer to that question.

"What kind of consequences?" Izzy sighed as he asked. He pulled out his Lap-top from his briefcase and began typing.

"Alright", Lyle said with a grin. "This time…".

"This time?", Tai asked.

"No more free information", Lyle said with a shrug.

"Why?" Cody asked immediately.

"I'll answer that later", Lyle sighed. "As I was saying", he continued. "If I say anything about this, or tell you more than what I've told you, it would drain someone's life force".

"Oh, and Cody, it's because of a new upgrade with evil". Lyle said before Cody got the chance to ask why.

"Upgrade?" Matt echoed.

"Leave evil dormant and it secretly strengthens." Ken mumbled.

"Their life force", Davis whispered to himself. What was so important about that again. Davis tapped the side of his chin thoughtfully.

"They'll die"! He and Tai said together in an unplanned, unrehearsed unison.

"Yeah", Tai mumbled after.

"If I keep on talking eventually", Lyle said wickedly. "It could be any one of you"! Lyle said specifically to Tai, trying not to make it too obvious.

The baby stirred in T.k.'s arms diverting Kens attention.

"You can hold him you know", T.k. stated quietly with amusement in his eye's. There was no way what Lyle had said was going to get him down. He would fight for his son!

Ken nodded slowly and T.k. gently put his son in Kens arms. The baby stirred a little but kept quiet. Yolei smiled gently seeing her boyfriend hold the baby.

"Can you tell us all you can without…..", he chose his next words carefully "hurting somebody".

Lyle nodded, noticing the hostility had drained from Tai's voice. This was the true leader of the digidestined! It was time for business.

"If anyone feels woozy, tiered or a combination of both, let me know immediately. I will then immediately stop to prevent….yeah".

Everybody nodded in understanding, waiting for Lyle to continue.

"When Malamyotismon was defeated, bits of evil where left in the air, and I assume you guys know what happens to things when they are left for a long time".

Most eyes looked expectantly at Izzy.

"Guess not", Izzy mumbled in response to Lyles statement then provided the answer.

"They uh grow"! He said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"So this creature is very powerful if you calculate the time he has had to grow!" Lyle continued. "It does however have a weakne-" .

"Kari!", T.k. yelled, interrupting Lyle in mid sentence.

"Kari", T.k. whispered. T.k. gently held her limp body in his arms. Kari had collapsed.
