I Thought I Was Going To Live Forever…
Author: Zero (a.k.a. Yamato ishida)


Yeah, I did it. Who cares? I doubt anyone here does. They may think they do, but they really don't…maybe except for TK, but he doesn't need me anymore. Nope, he's too old for an overprotecting older brother. I know what's best for him. I think this was the best for him, and everyone for that matter. I don't care; the pain's going away anyway. This helped the group. Yeah, Magna Angemon just destroyed Zieomon. Whoa, I think I'm getting ahead of myself, or behind, whatever.

Yeah, Zieomon was trying to destroy the Digiworld, and who but us were sent to stop him, and stop him we just did. Actually Magna Angemon did. I'm just glad to be a part of this. Even though Gabumon can't digivolve anymore, the group still has the eighth child, and they don't need me. That's why I did this. Even though it hurts them now, they'll see it's for the better.

You still don't know what I did? Well I guess I never explained it before. Yeah, I gave my life up for the group…that's it. As I lay on the ground, I can still remember how Zieomon charged at TK with his giant sword, aiming for Magna Angemon's counterpart. I still remember when I ran, looking at TK's frightened face, looking at the group's surprised look, and I remember the sword easily going through my body. The sword went though easily, on my upper chest, as TK stumbled back, seeing part of the blade coming out from my back. Then Zieomon just flung my body with his sword behind him, until Magna Angemon used his Gate of Destiny to finish him off.

Now I just lay on the ground, clutching my wound, as if that would help. I gaze at the ceiling, now that the battle is over. The group runs to me, all crying. My body feels numb, so I feel no pain.

You know, I thought I would live forever? From everything I went through, you would too. I was the one who went through the most drama in my life out of the group. TK could be included too, but he wasn't old enough to understand anything that happened around him. I knew, from the divorce, to the deaths of comrades in the Digiworld, that I would stay strong. I've been through it all and soaked it all up. You get used to it for awhile. You may think I'm crazy, but I've lived through it all.

I've lived through some of the most unusual stuff. Devimon, Myotismon, Piedmon, so why was Zieomon the one who was able to kill the undefeatable Yamato Ishida? For one thing, he went after the trainers instead of just the digimon. He specifically went for TK, whose digimon was killing him. I stepped in the way, though. I wanted to. You could say it was my time…even if I don't believe that myself.

I want my final thoughts to have a good feeling on me, though. It's pretty easy to find all of the things wrong in your life, but you have to reach back into your memory to think of the most memorable and favorite memories. I'm just really happy to be there for the group. I had the least significance in the group, so I used my life to preserve theirs. I know that's not a happy thought, but it is in a way. Now they're gonna live happy lives. TK's gonna have a hopeful future back in the real world. Tai, his skills in soccer are most likely going to get him into the pros. Sora's love for people will make her a doctor, so she could share her love through medicine and treatments. Izzy, the computer whiz exdrodinaire, will be the second Bill Gates. Joe, wanting to become a doctor, will most likely back out from his lack of comprehension of blood and guts. Mimi, her warmth and smile, her love for clothing and fashion; she'll probably make a designer name clothing line. Kari's unselfishness and her caring demeanor for others will probably make her save the world…past what we're doing now.

Me? I thought I was going to live forever…but this was the thing…
