I know that I'm supposed to be writing Digital Powers... but this came up and for some reason I wrote this instead. *looks at Aquarius and all the rest of the readers of Digital powers get knives out* Ok, so you are not fine with this... I mean Ken and Izzy have given me a good idea and everything and for Digital Powers... it's just hard to put into words. I know that it has been a long time since I posted the last part. *sees all the readers pull out knives* Ok, the next thing I post WILL be Digital Powers, ok? Well anyways, enjoy this first part to this great fic I got inspiration for. *glares at Ken and Izzy* Bad muses!

Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon. Even though two of the charaters pester me with fic ideas.

The Perfect Soldiers





Tai looked at the two disappearing creatures. One had tried to attack them and the other Tai had called Koromon was now a giant dinosaur. He then looked over at his sister, who was staring at the two of them too. Kari wiped the tears onto her bunny pajamas and then looked back at Tai. "Tai," she asked, "will we ever see Koromon again?"

Tai looked at Kari. He didn't know what to tell her. It was bad enough that they had both run out of the house late at night, but if they told their parents the truth, they would be in more trouble.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matt ran out of the house to his bus stop. He was late as it was, especially since he had overslept because of the two creatures fighting last night. He stopped when he reached it and then saw Tai. Tai walked over to him and then gave Matt a high five.

"So the king of lateness decided to be on time for once." Tai then gave his friend a serious look. "Besides, I was almost late too. I couldn't get any sleep."

"Did you see the two monsters too?" Matt asked.

"Yeah, but me and Kari got out of there before the police came. Mom and Dad were awake and were wondering where we were. I told them Kari had wandered out and I had gone to get her." Tai shifted from one foot to the other and then looked at Matt. "We were both there."

Matt then looked quizzically at Tai's last remark but the bus came before he had time to ask any more questions. They both took a seat towards the back and turned to the boy in the seat beside them. He was quietly sitting there and Tai then poked the other kid in the shoulder. "Hey Izzy," Tai said with his normal wave. "Did you see what happened last night or what?"

"The monsters?" the younger boy asked. Tai nodded. "Yes, but my dad called me in because he heard it. He thought I just had a very vivid imagination." Izzy looked at both Tai and Matt as they both sweatdropped. They were both his best friends and he knew they couldn't stand it when he started into what Tai commonly called, 'nerd mode.' Izzy couldn't help it as much as Tai couldn't help not being able to sit still for more than three hours.

"What did you just say, Iz?" Tai asked, mystified. Matt just suppressed a giggle.

"My dad thinks I pretend a lot." Izzy said.

Matt couldn't hold it in any longer and bust out laughing. Tai gave Matt a sharp look and Matt barely said, "You're... in the first grade... and... Izzy... a kindergartner... knows more... than you... Tai!" He then burst into another fit of laughter and Izzy himself had to start laughing. Matt finally calmed down enough to tell Tai he was sorry.

That's when the bus finally pulled up to the school. Matt, Tai, and Izzy all got off the bus. They waved to each other, knowing that they would see each other at lunch and recess.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tai was the first to get into the lunchline. He quickly grabbed his food and looked around for a place to sit. Unfortunately, because everyone was talking yesterday, the teachers were having a silent lunch. He waved quickly to where Izzy was sitting and sat down next to Matt. He elbowed Matt and Matt looked up from his lunch. Matt may have not been the first in line for lunch, but he usually didn't stand around for a sec deciding on where to sit.

Matt elbowed Tai back and then the two started snickering softly. Tai then started to silently act up, making the whole table bust out into snickers. Then Tai felt a tap on the shoulder from a teacher. It was the fourth grade teacher, Mr. Fugiyama. He looked at Tai and said, "Ok, Tai. I know it was you. You too, Matt. I mean, you first graders are supposed to set a good example for the kindergartners. Maybe I should send you to the teachers table." Both Matt and Tai shook their heads at the same time. "Good. Now settle down and keep quiet." Mr. Fugiyama left the table and went to another table to settle down those kids.

Tai then leaned over to Matt and whispered, "I almost believed Mr. Fugiyama was like one of those monsters from last night." Matt suppressed a giggle and the table then went quiet so that they wouldn't get into trouble.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recess. The one time when kindergartners could act up. Izzy ran onto the playground with the rest of the kids. He climbed onto the top of the monkey bars and sat up there. He looked up at the sky until he saw some kid plunk down next to him. Then the kid jumped down and Izzy climbed down himself.

He looked around for a minute before he saw Tai. Matt was nowhere to be found, and since Tai was in Matt's class, he decided to ask Tai where he was. Matt was supposed to be helping Izzy with his reading assignment, and unfortunately Matt had to go somewhere with his family after school. Now Matt was probably kept inside for recess. Izzy couldn't ask his family because his dad had to work and his mom was in the hospital. Tomorrow his mom was supposed to come home with his new brother Shokai.

Tai shrugged when Izzy asked him where Matt was. Then they heard someone start yelling and ran over to see what the commotion was about. There was Matt, holding a kid named Sin in a headlock. Matt looked mad about something, but neither of his friends knew what he was mad about. Then another kid next to them said something about Matt getting mad when Sin pushed a girl over. Even Izzy was suprised when he found out the girl was in his class.

Tai looked ready to enter the fight himself. He knew that Sin was older than the girl and he thought everyone knew that you shouldn't hit a girl. Besides, it was a miracle that Matt even got Sin into a headlock in the first place. Sin was in the fifth grade, and was a whole lot bigger than Matt. Either Sin let Matt get him or Sin was a whole lot weaker than he first appeared.

Sin must have gotten tired of Matt hanging onto his head because Sin suddenly stood up straight and flipped Matt over his head. That did it for Tai. Tai gave a big whoop and hopped onto Sin's back, pummeling Sin with his fists. Then Sin grabbed Tai by one of his ankles and threw Tai off him. When Sin turned back to Matt however, he discovered Matt's fist in his face. Sin stumbled backward and was tripped up by Tai. Matt swung yet again, and Sin was out cold.

Just then, a teacher got through the throng of kids and saw the end result. The girl was holding her pink cowboy hat in one hand and was wiping away tears with the other. Matt was helping her up and Izzy decided to help up Tai. When Matt realized that there was a teacher there, he quickly spun around. Was he ever suprised to see his own teacher, Ms. Yano, standing there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get into a fight, but Sin was beating up Matt. I couldn't let Matt get hurt. He's my best friend." Tai told his father over the phone.

"Well, Tai, I wish I could bail you out of this one, but unfortunately, you've been suspended for a week. I am very disappointed in you. We'll have a talk after school, young man, after I get home from work." Tai's dad stated then asked to be given back to the principal.

Matt, Tai, Sin, Izzy, and the girl were sitting in the principal's office. The principal talked for awhile longer and then hung up. She then gave a stern look to the five and then wrote a pass for Izzy and the girl to get back to class. "And Mimi," Mrs. Koshiba said, "could you have your parents come in tomorrow for a conference? I would like to talk to them and you about all of this." She then turned to Izzy and said, "And I'm sorry for getting you into this. I didn't know that you weren't in the fight either, Koushiro." She then motioned for Izzy and Mimi to get going. They both left to their class and Mrs. Koshiba fixed her gaze at the three boys in front of them.

"As for you three," she said, "Matt, Tai, since neither of your parents are home right now, you will stay in here for the rest of the school day. Sin, your parents are coming to pick you up. But all three of you are suspended for a week. The only reason you will come back to school tomorrow is to get your assignments from your teachers and to come in for a conference. Your parents are going to come too." Mrs. Koshiba then gave them a final look and then turned to the paperwork on her desk.

Tai looked at the clock. It was only 12:30. He wouldn't be able to sit there until 2:30. He started to kick the leg of his chair. Then he looked up at the ceiling. It had that tile where there were tiny holes in them. He decided to count them. Then he looked again at the clock. It now read 12:35. He knew he wouldn't last that long.

Matt, on the other hand, had watched Sin get taken home by his dad. Then he closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. Soon, he was fast asleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Izzy got on the bus when the bell rang for dismissal. Then he saw Matt and Tai get on. Matt plopped down next to Izzy and Tai sat behind them. Matt yawned and stretched and Tai just looked ready to yell. Izzy took stock of all of this and asked, "Mrs. Koshiba made you guys stay in her office, didn't she?"

"Yep," Tai said. "But it takes more than that to drive me crazy." Matt rolled his eyes in Tai's general direction and then mouthed the words 'went nuts' to Izzy.

Tai turned toward Matt and said, "Oh, yeah, Matt? What about you? You were just as crazy as I was. No, wait, you went to sleep."

"At least I caught up on the sleep I missed last night." replied Matt. "Besides, it was getting pretty boring in there so I took a nap. Gave me something to do besides count spots on the ceiling."

Tai was about to say something when the bus driver announced their stop. Matt stood and waved bye to Izzy. Tai got up too and stalked off the bus, following Matt. Izzy just sighed and looked at his two good friends. "Them not fighting is an anomaly." he muttered to himself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matt walked home alone. He lived five minutes from the bus stop, but he really didn't want to face his dad, knowing that he would get grounded for a month. So he tried to walk as slow as possible.

That's when he noticed the black van driving down the road. He didn't pay attention to it until it pulled up next to him. Then Matt turned down a narrow alleyway, hoping to lose the van. He didn't. The van continued to follow him until it pulled up beside him and a person inside rolled down the window a crack. "Need a lift?" the guy asked.

"No," Matt replied, starting to walk faster. He suddenly wished the alley would end. Then the van drove up to him again and the door opened. Two men grabbed the young boy and threw him into the back of the truck.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tai had to take longer to get home. He hopped over a fence and started to jog. He loved to run. Then a black van suddenly appeared in his path. "Hey," Tai said, thinking that the van had almost run him over.

Then the window rolled down a crack and a voice inside asked, "Need a lift?"

Tai did the only thing he knew how to do. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Fire!!!!" The guy inside looked startled and Tai took that chance to start running.

But he never made it. As soon as he made it past the van, a second appeared. This one opened up its door and yanked Tai inside. Tai got a brief glimpse of someone else in there before he was out cold. It was the sight of Matt, lying unconscious next to him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Izzy was in a hurry to get home. He had to ask his dad before he went to work if he could help him with his reading assignment. Then he saw the van. It stopped right next to him and Izzy tried to peer into the glass to see who it was. Unfortunately, the glass was tinted. Izzy backed away then, knowing something wasn't right. That's when the hand grabbed him and pulled him inside.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mimi was asleep in bed. Her father looked at the note the teacher had sent home with her. He was mad about the fact that Sin had pushed Mimi down, so he had decided to go to the conference. Mimi looks like a little angel, he thought. Then he closed the door after tucking her in. Then he thought he heard something in her room. He opened the door up to see nothing. Not even his own daughter.
