Chapter 1: Crashing the party
It was a whole year since the digidestined defeated Apocalymon in the digital world and 6 months since the fall of Diaboromon. Now there is peace, it is what all true warriors like the digidestined strive for. In fact, there is a party at an elementary school in Tokyo but that will be covered later. For now, we go over to someone's house. Inside that house lives a young boy. At the age of 12, he wears brown shorts, a blue shirt with orange stars on the shoulders, white sneakers with blue and yellow patterns, white gloves and goggles on his forehead and has messy brown hair. It was he that led the digidestined to victory. He represented courage. He was none other than Tai Kamiya.
"Gee, it sure is boring around here" was all Tai could say, "I just wonder what Agumon is up to." So he goes on the internet where his digimon partner is from the last adventure. "Hi Tai," said Agumon, a small dinosaur-like digimon, "how's things". "Well I uh..," was basically all Tai could say until he saw the mail on the table where his mother put it. Tai looked through the mail and saw an invitation. Excited for this event, Tai told his partner on the net, "I'm going out tonight!" "Where are you heading, partner?" Agumon had to ask to which Tai replied, "I'm going to a party at my school. It's to celebrate one year after I met you and your buds." "Don't just bring nothing," said Agumon as if requesting something, "bring something spicy. Know what I mean?" "You," Tai sarcastically asked. "No, sushi with wasabi," Agumon corrected his partner.
The most ironic bit was that despite the fact that Tai's mother made questionable dishes; he managed to find a box full of sushi doused with wasabi. But before Tai could go, he had to tell his little sister, Kari who like him was a digidestined. Heck, they went together in the second half of the adventures in the digital world. "Hey Kari, wanna come to the party at the school," Tai asked his sister. Unfortunately, Kari said in response, "that sounds fun Tai but I'd rather stay home, I'm not into school parties." "Then how about a hug for luck," Tai said. "Okay," said Kari and they both hugged. At 6 p.m. Tai left after telling his mother where he was going and she approved it.
While Tai was heading to the party he met an old man. A rather peculiar old man. "Hi," was all Tai could say, "You're not Gennai are you?" "Heavens no," replied the old man, "I am Edward G. Don't ask what the 'G' stands for and it's not Gennai, whoever it is." With that Edward told Tai a story about his recent events which ended with, "and that is why my family has never used fossil fuels and why you shouldn't either. They are bad news young one." However, Tai disregarded all that as true and said, "sorry old man but I have a party to go to. See ya," before simply running off. "Kids these days," Edward added, "they never listen to the old folk or environmental activists."
At the school, a large tent was enclosing the sports area. In it was a food table, a DJ, a sakura tree decorated with 1000 paper cranes and many students. By the time Tai got there, his friend Matt with a green tank top, blue jeans, blonde hair, brown boots and brown gloves was the first to approach the brunette before saying, "Tai, what took you so long?" Tai replied with a short breath, "It's a long story involving an old man holding me up to tell me his life story. How's everyone else doing?" Matt, who was a digidestined representing friendship, responded, "Well Joe was trying to get some girls, Mimi is helping herself to punch, Izzy was as usual on his laptop and my dad told me to watch T.K. so he's right here." With those words, a small kid with, like his older brother Matt, blonde hair but he had no gloves and green shirt and hat. That was T.K. and he said, "Mum said the party would be good for me and told me to stay with Matt. Hey, where's Sora and Kari?" In response to that question, Tai said, "Kari didn't want to come and I don't know where Sora is." "Oh she told me that she was going to check out Facebook. She never left the house," was Matt's reply. Anyway, Tai put the sushi at the food table satisfied he made a contribution.
Meanwhile in outer space, an alien spaceship was heading towards the Earth. One of its occupants was saying, "soldiers! Send me to that planet!" But instead of landing safely in an escape pod, the mysterious figure was shot like a projectile straight towards Earth coincidentally landing on the sakura tree at the party leaving dust and a crater as well as mess and several freaked out kids. It was a big pile of coal with unconnected hands and began to sing:
? : Well well well, what do we have here?
There's still life on this planet, oh dear.
I'm going to claim this as my territory. Hahahahaha!
Tai: Hey you, yeah you. Who do you think you are?
Mimi: Oh my, he's ugly! What he needs is a spa.
Tai: Scaring all the other kids won't make you king.
Me and the digidestined will be fixing everything.
?: That's what you think. Ha! But you couldn't be more wrong.
Because this would be the last time you'll hear my pretty song.
Ooh. Aah. Ooh. Aah. Ooh. Aah.
I'm the king of coal.
Tai: I've no idea of your bizarre schemes.
But whatever it is, it might work only in your dreams.
?: That's funny boy, it was a dream but now it's coming true.
Because even my cohorts know the human race is through.
Tai: Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.
I'm Tai Kamiya.
After that familiar music sequence, the mysterious figure made of coal began to talk, "Oh was I being rude? Okay, my name is Lord Anthrax and I'm claiming this planet as my own so I can take all of your coal or I'll kill you all." Tai tried reasoning with Anthrax by saying, "but coal is really important in my society. Take it away and we could face economic collapse." But Anthrax could not listen to reason so he said, "so that's how it's going to be huh? Hydros! Naphtha! Gasser! Trash this place!" With those words, a water containing robot, a blob of oil and a cloud of gas began scaring all the kids and leaving a huge mess. "This is your final warning boy," said Anthrax who got impatient, "hand over your coal and Sora and there will be consequences!" "Never," Tai yelled with valour, "and leave Sora out of this!" Having lost all patience, Anthrax blew his stack yelling, "THAT'S IT! EVERYONE DIES! I'M BURNING ALL THE COAL I HAVE ON BOARD TO TURN THIS PLACE INTO HECK! YOU THREE! AMBUSH THE PIONEERS! I'M GOING AFTER SORA MYSELF!"
While Hydros, Naphtha and Gasser left to ambush some mysterious pioneers, Tai fled the scene of the crime questioning his reaction to Edward as toxic fumes come crashing from above, "Maybe the old man was right. I have to save Sora before Anthrax takes her! Perhaps the digimon may help us."
Meanwhile on the alien ship, a nuclear powered robot named Reactor was waiting for Anthrax's permission to help out on the attack mission when one of his soldiers came in with sushi and said, "sir, I managed to sneak down to Pekopon past all of the violence to steal some sushi. Want some?" "No thanks," replied Reactor, "just put it in the fridge. I wish for some action."
Meanwhile at Sora's house, Sora was totally unaware of the whole ordeal when suddenly the ground shook, "What the…. AAH!" Anthrax has beaten Tai to Sora and now she was being kidnapped. By the time Tai got there, he was soon enough to enter the house but too late to actually save Sora. The house was being lifted into space. When Tai made it to Sora, she asked in fear, "Tai, why are you here? What's going on?" Tai began to say, "well you see some weirdo named Anthrax wanted to take you and," but before he could finish, Sora was being sucked into a suction tube that came out of the window. As Sora was being sucked into the alien ship, Tai didn't realise he was so high up above the ground until everything started to get sucked out the broken window.
Back in the ship, Anthrax approached Reactor saying, "I've done my bit for now. Go ahead and shoot the building I picked up if you want; there is a threat in there." "Finally, some action," Reactor said having been relieved of waiting. He went to the abducted house and shot 3 radioactive shots. The last thing Tai did was see the bullets coming towards him and say, "Oh sh-," before being blasted into space.
What happened to Tai? Is he going to regret ignoring Edward's advice? What happened to the human race? Who exactly is Anthrax? And who are the pioneers he mentioned? Found out on the next thrilling episode of Super Tai Galaxy!
By the way, the musical sequence was inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton and Earth being called Pekopon is a homage to Sgt. Frog by Mine Yoshizaki. I don't own any of that.
