AN: This is a small story that talks about Takato dying and he gives a
beautiful and sad speech before he dies. I think that this is the saddest
fan fiction that I ever wrote, so you might want to grab a box of tissue
before you read this. Anyway, this story is rated PG because Takato dies,
hence the name "A Tamer's End", enjoy
A Tamer's End
It was just another beautiful spring day in Shinjuku, and the tamers were all having a picnic, which was held outside of Guilmon's old shack. It was about 2 years after the D-Reaper incident and all of the Tamers were now 14, also they have all changed in their own individual way. Kenta swapped his glasses for contacts. Jeri doesn't wear her usual green dress but still carries her sock puppet. Henry doesn't wear his orange vest anymore; Kazu astonishingly passed grade school. Rika still can't stand wearing a dress or anything cute, but is now more open about her feelings and Takato changed from his blue sweater t-shirt to a yellow sweater t- shirt and a pair of jeans and still wears those goggles and loves Jeri but hasn't worked up the courage to tell her that yet.
"Hey guys," greeted Takato as he walked up to his friends.
"Hi Takato, we were just going through the things that we were suppose to bring, so did everyone bring what they were suppose to?" asked Jeri as she set the blanket.
"Yeah, I think so, I brought the hot dogs, Ryo brought the ice cream, Rika brought the sandwiches, you brought the salad, Kenta brought the chips, Takato brought the Guilmon bread and Kazu brought the pop," answered Henry.
"Well now that we have everything, let's dig in!" said Takato happily as he started eating. The tamers were just half way into their meal when a storm started brewing started to rain heavily.
"Ah! It wasn't suppose to rain today!" said Ryo in an annoyed tone as he got drenched from head to toe.
"Since when was the weatherman ever right?" shouted Henry as he quickly picked up everything and stuffed it in a basket.
"Come on let's get out of here!" shouted Jeri as she started to run.
"Wait up Jeri!" called out Takato as he ran towards her. "You're heading the wrong way!" Jeri was unable to hear Takato and kept on ran across the street completely unaware that a car was speeding towards her.
"Jeri! Watch out!" shouted Takato as she pushed Jeri out of the way just in time, but unfortunately the car hit Takato as full speed moments later.
"Takato!" shouted Jeri as she ran towards a badly bruised up and unconscious Takato.
"What hap-" asked Ryo as he stopped in mid sentence as he saw the sight of Takato.
"Tak- Takato got-got hit by a car," sobbed Jeri "It's all my fault."
"We have to get Takato to a hospital," said Henry quickly, trying to deny the fact that his best friend may die as he took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed 911.
************************************************************************
"What is his condition?" asked a doctor.
"His condition is critical, he has a pulse but it's weak, he has internal bleeding, 6 broken ribs, severe neurological trauma, minor concussions, compound fractures, bruises, minor lacerations throughout the body," said a paramedic who was wheeling Takato into an operation room.
"He's going into cardiac arrest! We're losing him!" shouted a nearby doctor as Takato's pulse turned to a steady beep.
"Prepare for a code white resuscitation! 25CCs of cytosine! Get me a defiberator " ordered a doctor.
"Defiberator charged!" called out a doctor.
"Clear!" shouted the one of the doctors as he tried to resuscitate Takato, but didn't work. "I'm trying it again, clear!" the doctor tried again to save Takato but didn't work, "Come on kid." muttered the doctor and tried on last time.
"He has a pulse," said another doctor finally, "His condition is stabilizing but we can't repair the internal bleeding."
"How long does he have?" asked a nearby nurse.
"He.has about 15-20 at the most." concluded the doctor.
"Well I guess that I'd better break the news to his friends," volunteered the nurse as she noticed a group of kids out side of the operation room.
"How's Takato?" asked Henry anxiously as the nurse left the operation room and took off her blood stained gloves.
The nurse stared at the children and was full of disappointment to tell them that his friend had less than 20 minutes to live.
"You still didn't answer Henry's question," said Kenta boldly snapping the nurse back to reality, "How's Takato?" repeated Kenta
The nurse sighed and finally answered Henry's question, "Your friend has suffered extreme injuries, we were able to heal some of his wounds but. we can't repair the internal bleeding so he doesn't have long."
"How long does he have?" asked Kazu grimly.
".less than 20 minutes," informed the nurse grimly. "I'm sorry, there's nothing that we can do, he's regained consciousness so you can see him." offered the nurse.
"Oh no...Takato." wept Jeri as she rushed into the operation room.
"Wait up," said Henry as everyone else entered into Takato's room and were shocked at the sight of him. Takato was hooked up to an IV and other machines and there were bandages that covered part of Takato and he was extremely pale from the blood loss.
"Takato- I'm-I'm so sorry," wept Jeri as he moved to Takato and burst into an uncontrollable fit of sobs.
"Don't cry Jeri, everyone has to die, I'm just happy that I can tell you how much I appreciate you guys before I die," said Takato weakly.
"So the doctor told you about the news?" asked Kazu miserably and Takato nodded in reply.
"I'm not really good at speeches, but there's a first time for everything," joked Takato weakly.
"Ever since I met you guys, you've changed me, you're always here when I needed you, and you're the best friends that I ever had. Kenta, you're really loyal, that's what I like about you, even thought you can be annoying from time to time, you did save my life a few times," said Takato.
"Thanks a lot Takato," replied Kenta quietly.
"Ryo- the 'legendary tamer', I admire you, you're a really good tamer and a good friend. You're always there when I need you, whether it's fighting an evil Digimon or whether I need someone to talk to," acknowledged Takato.
"Takato." trailed off Ryo who was touched by Takato's remark.
"Rika, you've changed a lot from the time I met you, at first you were cold and mean, but now you've changed from that to a kind a caring person, thanks for helping me when I need you," said Takato weakly.
"Don't mention it Goggle head," said Rika sadly.
"Kazu, the group comedian, even though you're even more annoying then Kenta, you always come through for the group and do the right thing," stated Takato.
"Takato- I-I- I'm glad that I met you," said Kazu on the verge of tears.
"Henry, I'm really going to remember you, because you're my best friend and you're always here to cheer me up, you taught all I know about digimon, like how to play the card game and make up new strategies for me, that's why I want you to have these," said Takato wearily as he handed Henry his trademark goggles.
"But Takato I can't accept-" sputtered Henry but Takato cut him off.
"Please, take them, I know that some day that the gateway to the digital world will be opened, and when it does, this team will need a new leader, and I want you to take my place, some one with experience and potential, and that someone is you Henry," answered Takato softly.
Henry was shocked of his best friend's request but after briefly thinking it through, he accepted his wish and took the goggles.
"I- I- I don't know what to say, thank you Takato, you're the best friend that I- I've ever known," said Henry as he tried not to cry.
Takato gave Henry a weak smile and continued with his final part of his speech, "And Jeri, I'll remember you the most," said the dying tamer. "You are so kind and sweet, I guess that's why I like you so much, you always have this smile on your face and always try to make my day better like saying 'hi' or helping me with my homework and watching out for me, but what I wanted to tell you is that- I love you Jeri, I love you very much" said Takato gently.
"Takato, I love you too," said Jeri in a crying voice as she leaned closer to Takato and kissed him.
"I'm glad that I was able to tell you my true feelings before I die," said Takato sadly. "Do me one last favor Jeri,"
"Anything," said Jeri as she held Takato's hand.
"When you get to the digital world, tell Guilmon that I said hi," said Takato finally as he slowly closed his eyes.
"I will," answered Jeri as she tried to force a smile, before Takato's eyes closed for the final time. "Takato? Takato?!" wept Jeri as she shook Takato, but it was no use, Takato Matsuki, Jeri's love, was dead.
