Hi everyone. This is my first ever digimon fic.
I've always liked the character of TK. I honestly felt the writers of Digimon didn't do enough with him. He wasn't given much development and never really allowed to shine on his own. It was always only ever about Tai or Matt.
I've decided to write my very own fic where TK is the central character. The story begins from episode 22 of the anime. This episode was always one of my favourites because it's a TK heavy episode and because it's a rare occasion when TK's is given some character growth. The digi-destined gave split up in the digital world and Matt eventually left TK at an amusement park to go for a look around. He never comes back for him though, he leaves him to wait and get upset. This fic will go off in a direction from the anime story from this point. It will be what I think should have happened at this point in the show.
Enjoy.
Chapter 1 - TK loses Hope
TK was still sat out staring at the water. He had been waiting here for a whole week now. He was waiting for his big brother to come back, just like he'd promised would. The young boy, no older than 8, had been left all alone in a strange and unfamiliar place with nobody to look after him. Well, nobody except little Tokomon.
"You really should have something to eat TK," squawked the little in-training digimon. TK however didn't answer him. He gaze just remained looking out at the water, his expression unreadable. Tokomon sighed, TK often went into his shell like this when he was upset.
A few more hours passed by with TK still not moving from that spot and not uttering a single word. Tokomon loyally remained at his side (though he'd given up in trying to engage TK in a conversation). Eventually, as the sun was beginning to set, a very unwelcome visitor stopped by.
"Hi there guys, Demi-Devimon's the name. Mind if I drop in?"
TK finally broke his gaze away from the water and turned to look at this new digimon.
"I've heard about you," said Tokomon now.
"Oh I'm flattered," Demi-Devimon replied.
"Don't be, nothing I heard was good."
"Okay, okay. I used to be a bit of a wiseguy but that was only because I was working for Etehmon. But he's kaput now thanks to you, something of which I'm eternally grateful."
"Have you seen my brother?" asked TK now finally speaking up.
"Oh, so that's the reason you look so down huh? You missing your bro? What's his name?"
"His name is Matt," answered TK.
"Well you came to the right digimon. I'll go see if I can find him, you just wait here and I'll be back in a flash."
The bat digimon then turned around and quickly flew off.
"Well maybe he has changed," remarked Tokomon. TK just nodded.
A few minutes later…..
Demi-Devimon returned to TK and Tokomon who immediately asked him if he'd had any luck finding Matt and Gabumon.
"Yeah, I sure did," he answered with an mischievous grin.
"Well what did he say? Is he coming back?" TK was desperate for answers.
"I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this squirt but your bro ain't coming back. In fact, he never wants to see you again."
"What?" TK stammered, his bottom lip quivering.
"He said he got tired of babysitting a crybaby so he and Gabumon decided to go off on their own and just leave you here. I told him that brothers should stick together and that he should come back for you but he said no. No way was he taking you anywhere with him anymore."
"No way!" cried TK.
"Sorry kiddo but that's the truth. He said he's going to meet up with the rest of your digi-destined friends and that none of those guys want you around anymore either."
"It can't be true TK!" said Tokomon trying to reassure his heartbroken partner but it was no good. TK had already burst into tears and ran away.
Another few minutes later…
"Don't believe that guy TK, he has to be lying. You know Matt would never say anything like that and none of the others would want to leave you either. Demi-Devimon's just trying to upset you."
TK again didn't respond to Tokomon's words. He merely just picked up a rock off the floor and then threw it forlornly into the water. Frowning, Tokomon turned around and ran back to speak to Demi-Devimon. He found him nesting in nearby tree.
"Hey you, come here," he ordered.
"What is it?" asked Demi-Devimong with another naughty grin.
"It's you. You need to stop lying to TK and telling him those nasty things."
"Like I told you before, it's the truth. That's what he really said, cross my heart. Anyway, ou got any prove I'm lying, huh?" the bat digimon countered.
"Well no."
"There you go; you're just assuming the worst because of my background. That's not fair, it's prejudice. Just because I ain't a cute pink, cuddly butterball like you, you have to assume that I'm a bad guy. That's… I don't know… superficial. Luckily TK's more enlightened."
Tokomon lost his temper here and fired one of his bubble attacks at Demi-Devimon and it hit him square in the face causing him to fall out of the tree. Unfortunately for Tokomon, TK arrived on the scene just in time to see this.
"TOKOMON WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" he demanded angrily.
"What TK?" the pink digimon responded defensively.
"I saw you take a shot at him! That's a bad thing to do and you know it!"
"Don't be so hard on him TK," Demi-Devimon chimed in. "It's only natural that he feel a little jealous that you've found yourself a new friend."
Tokomon scowled.
"Apologise to him!" ordered TK.
"No way," Tokomon answered stubbornly.
"If you don't apologise then you can just leave." TK was deadly serious.
"You really want me to leave?" asked Tokomon now, his eyes now watery.
"Yes if you don't apologise for what you did. I don't want to be friends with someone who takes cheap shots at others."
Tokomon was left crushed by this. He absolutely wouldn't apologise to a low-life like Demi-Devimon so he realised he only had one option. He turned to walk away.
"I won't be coming back you know," he added at the final moment.
"You don't see me crying about! No go on, just go."
Heartbroken, Tokomon walked off into the trees with tears streaming down his face. He didn't dare look back at TK, he instead hoped the little boy would change his mind and call him back. But he never did. Instead TK along with Demi-Devimon, began to walk off back in the direction of the park.
"You sure put him in his place TK," said the bat digimon from the boy's shoulder.
"Well, he deserves to be taught a lesson. I don't want to be partners with a digimon who acts like he does. Or be friends with people who act those guys did. Leaving me like that. They're all jerks!"
"I absolutely understand TK," he encouraged. "Them all leaving you like that was very selfish on their parts, especially from Matt. He's supposed to be your big brother."
"Don't mention that name," snapped TK now. Just hearing Matt's name now made him sear with emotion. Not with sadness though, now it was white-hot anger.
Demi-Devimon just smiled. He'd done exactly what he'd intended to do and it had worked better than he ever could have imagined.
First chapter done. What do you think? Please rate and review. More chapters on the way.
