Prologue
Late one night, a car drives up to the site where the Digidestined were sucked back
to the Digital World. A man, a woman, and a little girl frantically get out of the car,
looking at a place that was once their home. Now it was a place of ruins, dirt, mud....
Destruction.
With no where to sleep or stay, people were crowded around the area where the
battle with Venommyotismon took place. The parents searched the crowd to find
someone they knew, while their daughter looked up at the sky in wonderment and awe.
They finally found someone familiar in the beat-up area.
"What happened here??" the mother asked, with wide eyes.
"This is what happens when we go on vacation?" the father commented, jokingly,
mostly frightened. "We go out of town and when we come back....there is no town?"
The person they found started talking excitedly about the eight children called the
Digidestined. He told them about how the fate of the world is in the hands of eight little
kids.
The girl averted her eyes from the sky for a second to look at her parents. "I told
you we should've stayed here. I wanted to go to summer camp." Her eyes suddenly went
wide. "Matt!" she exclaimed at the realization that her best friend went to summer camp,
and suddenly, it looked as if there was no summer camp.
She quickly searched the area, trying to find her best friend. Then.....
'Flash!' An evil-looking Matt turned toward her with narrowed, cold eyes.
She blinked several times, from the force of the vision. "Matt...." she whispered.
"Okay, something's wrong....I feel....something...." She felt shaken.
"Honey, what's wrong?" she mother ran toward her and hugged her, since she
looked so frightened.
"It's Matt, mama....He's not here....Something's wrong, I can feel it..." She shaded
her eyes and squinted up toward the Digital World. 'If only there was some way to get up
there and find out what's going on.....'she thought.
As if the heavens read her mind, a lavender light came down from the strange
world toward the girl. A digivice and an empty tag floated down in front of her. She
looked at them, afraid to touch them.
Someone in the crowd gasped. "She's one of them, too!"
* * *
It was a one-on-one battle between Matt and Tai. Matt growled, lowered his
head, and plowed himself right into Tai. Tai grunted, and hit the ground hard on his butt,
hitting his head on a rock.
'Ow....' he thought. He glared at Matt. "Dude, come back to me! Snap outta it,
man!"
"Never," Matt said with cold, blue eyes. "You were always the 'leader', Tai.
Always bossing everyone around. Being so cold-blooded. Just thinking about your own
feelings." He sneered. "Well, now it's my turn to make the rules now..."
"Your crazy," Tai snapped, as he struggled to get up. He ran into Matt, and
socked him right in the jaw.
"Augh!" he said as he fell back.
"Matt, it's me, Tai. Get back to your normal self, dude! The last thing I want is
you to go all evil on me, now stop it!"
Matt rubbed his jaw, and blood trickled down his fist and neck. "You'll pay for
that, Tai....," he said, totally ignoring Tai's voice.
All of a sudden, a river appeared behind him. Matt, growing five feet taller, picked
him up and threw him in the crashing waves. It was too deep. Tai hadn't held his breath
before he threw him in. He tried to suck in air, but all he could get is water.
'This is it', he thought miserably. 'I'm gonna die....Kari, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi,
T.K....Matt.....my friends.....Agumon.....where are you, buddy....?'
He was sinking deeper and deeper.....suffocating.....
"ACK! UGH! Wha???"
Tai sat up straight, as if an alarm clock set off in his head. No wonder he was
suffocating. His goggles were covering up his nose and mouth while he was tossing,
turning, trying to get some sleep.
He sighed, and put the goggles back on top of his head "Just a dream...." he
muttered to himself, surveying the others. All the others were sprawled around, sleeping
next to their Digimon. Tai tried to hold back a laugh as he saw Izzy practically hug his
laptop computer, as if it were a teddy bear. He glanced at his little sister, Kari, sleeping
next to her Digimon, Gatomon. A rag blanket was a couple of feet away from them. Tai
got up, picked up the blanket, and gently covered Kari.
He looked at his Digimon, Agumon, seeing that he was still asleep in their spot.
Tai quietly walked away from the group. He needed time to think. But as he walked
away, he checked over the others again, just to make sure that Matt and Gabumon didn't
happen to come back to them over the night. Come back to them sanely, that is. Not like
the evil creatures that fought them the last couple of days.
'What has gotten into him?' he asked himself, as he walked away from the group.
'Is it really my fault that he's acting like this?' He kicked a rock and looked back, trying
not to get too far away from his friends.
He thought back to the day before, and winced as he remembered Mimi scolding
him that it was sort of his fault Matt had gone against them.
"Matt was right, you do think about your wars more than people feelings," she had
said as they were walking through a forest. "I'm not suprised that he ran away....Though
I am suprised he's gone totally wacko and turned against us....I mean, sure, my hair has
gotten a little messed up since we came back to Digiworld, but that wouldn't make him
turn against us, would it? Oh ouch, let's stop for a moment, my feet are killing me......"
Tai snorted as he remembered that last comment. That was so like Mimi to be
complaining about hurt feet....five minutes after she complained before. Looking at the
sunrise, he glanced toward the direction he came from. "I better get back to the others,"
he said. "They're probably worried about me..." He started walking back toward his
friends, when a big explosion came up near him.
"We missed this time," a familiar voice rang out. "But next time, you won't be so
lucky, Tai."
He whirled around.
Riding on Garurumon's back, was Matt, looking more evil than he did a couple
days ago. 'Matt, buddy,' Tai thought in dismay. 'What have the Dark Masters done to you?'
"Come on, Matt!" he shouted. "I'm your friend! We all are!"
"Friends?" he sneered and narrowed his eyes. There was a hint of sadness in
them. "I have no friends."
Garurumon's eyes glowed red as he fired his Howling Blaster at Tai. He screamed
and fell into the ground.
Garurumon and Matt were almost right ontop of Tai, looking down at him with
triumphant looks. "Nice knowin ya, Tai," Matt said evily. "But you're little game of
leader is gonna end....now."
'This is it', Tai suddenly realized. 'My dream is gonna come true.'
"Star Bomb Shooter!" a voice of a Digimon yelled.
A string of large stars fired at Garurumon and Matt. They both screamed as more
star bombs flew after them as the ran through the forest.
"We'll get you next time, Tai!" Matt screamed. "You and the so-called
Digidestined!"
'You're a Digidestined, too,' Tai thought quietly. He looked around for the
Digimon that saved him. A figure on a horse-like Digimon looked at him, but he couldn't
see them, since they were hiding in the shadows.
"Who are you?" he whispered.
In reply, the two creatures took off into the forest.
