SPECIAL A/N, READ IT:

Disclaimer: I have no claim over the intellectual property of Digimon. Also, warnings for...death. Possible other things in, but I dunno how graphic things might get. I'm bad with knowning that. So be wary.

A/N: This is the beginning of part one. I have completed part one and will begin working one part two, most likely today. I will not update the chapters of part two until I am done with them. Without further ado, begin reading.

Tai stumbled out of the computer, and Izzy went to the balcony to watch the missile come down…though he still looked out of sorts. Tai suddenly became very ill and ran into the bathroom. He slammed the door before bending over the toilet and retching. This went on for a couple minutes, and he composed himself by the time his mother got worried.

"Tai, are you okay?"

"Yes mom, just a moment," Tai said as he pulled up to the sink to wash the vomit off…and his heart seemed to stop. Rather than his face…no, that wasn't accurate, as it still was his face. But it was…different. Taichi Kamiya had brown hair and eyes. The boy who looked like him had…blonde? Or at least some sort of yellow hair and this kid also has yellow eyes.

"!" Tai slips and bangs his head against the door. When he gets up and looks in the mirror again, he looks normal. He rubs his eyes.

"Ugh, stupid Diaboromon," Tai mutters. He exits and goes into his dad's office to put the computer back on the desk before his dad gets home.

"What was that crash?" his mother asks him.

"I slipped," Tai answered. As he starts putting everything up, he hears a voice. Taichi, take me to Willis. He stops, and nearly drops the computer on his foot.

"!" 'THUMP!' He and the computer, which nearly crushed him, had fallen had onto the ground.

"TAI?" his mother shouted.

"Everything's fine mom!" he called back. And then thought: I hope. He finally got the computer back onto the desk without another episode. That voice, Tai thought as he absently mindedly walked out of the apartment, sounded a lot like Diaboromon.

Along the way down a street, he somehow ended up in a street that was unfamiliar to him. He looked up, and saw two boys near a window. One of them looked out and at him. It was Ryo Akiyama. For a moment, they just stared. Ryo wondering why Tai was there and Tai wondering where he was and how he had ended up where Ryo was. Ryo then disappeared from the window. TAKE ME TO WILLIS! The voice screamed in Tai's head. He clutched his ears and began to sink to his knew, groaning loudly. A loud ringing was sounding.

"Tai?" Ryo asked, puzzled. Tai looks up, and Ryo jumps back startled. And then Tai runs. Ryo follows him, but it gets dark by the time they get to Tai's house. Ryo leaves, even if it is against his better judgment. Izzy was long gone, and his mother had gone to get Kari. Because the party had run long and Kari didn't want to leave. Or so the note said.

Tai retreated to his bed and covered himself. He drifted off to sleep. The voice spoke to him again:

Take me to Willis.

Why?

Because…he can help you, help you get better. You are sick.

I'm…sick?

Yes.

And Tai believed it. He felt sick, sweaty, weak, and feverish. But the doctor found nothing wrong and suggested that Tai was faking. But what was worse was his behavior was changing. He became colder to his friends. They tried visiting him, but he would hide under the covers or be out of the house. They would email or call him…he never answered.

Nearly a week later, Kari approached him.

"Tai?" Kari asked to get his attention from the wall.

"Humph?" he responded, not turning his gaze. Kari sighed before continuing. They were currently in their living room.

"What's wrong?" Kari asked, and then leapt back in fear as he answered.

"What's wrong? What's it to you? Leave me alone!" He stormed out of the house. He was barefoot and wearing his customary outfit. Find Willis. The voice said. Shut it. Tai responded. Tai ran his hand through his recently cut hair. It was no longer bulky or standing up. It was smooth and flat on his head, but didn't come past his crown. Because of this, his goggles rested on his forehead. He pulled his goggle over his eyes, and finally let the voice take over.

The Voice took over, and made him run. Faster…faster…faster…and still faster, that is until he could go no faster because of his human limitations. Tai could feel himself ebbing away…when, BANG! There was a head-on collision. Tai got his last look of reality before slipping into the darkness. Ryo Akiyama.

"Um…are you okay?" Ryo asked, though he was sure he was the only one hurt. The boy looked familiar, but was much too unfamiliar looking to be who he at first thought it was. He thought it was Tai, but Tai was a brunette, not a blonde. Though this was a blonde whose hair looked eerily like that Diaboromon's hair…if that had been hair that is…or more yellow…or…something not really natural. And the boy's eyes were hard to see, because of the goggles covering them, but they seemed unnatural, because the pupil looked off…or maybe that was just the goggles.

"Sure…just get outta my way." And the boy shoved him aside and hurried off. Ryo, once again going against his better judgment, followed the boy. They kept running until the scenery started changing. The boy began to slow down, and Ryo stopped…speechless. The…Digital World? Ryo was confused how they got there.

"You are…Ryo Akiyama, no?"

"Uh…yes," Ryo answered timidly. The boy was still facing away from him, but Ryo felt a sudden coldness. A chill at first that then progressed into what could only be described as freezing.

"So…you have returned." Millenniumon. Ryo thought. What's going on? Ryo then felt a sudden tugging, as though some unseen force had grabbed his shirt, which happened to be blue, pulled at him. The brunette boy screamed as he felt like he was falling.

And he heard…laughter? But…it wasn't Millenniumon…it sounded, however vaguely, human.

"Pitiful human!" the voice of laughter spat from his right. Ryo didn't understand what was going on…but he could see the dim form of Millenniumon, the one who must be laughing, but it was darker there where it too seemed to be falling, and another…digimon? This one was definitely smaller, and seemed to be a purple color. Wait…color? Ryo realized that it was brighter…then he blinked.

Please review…please?
