Clip 2
It all happened about a month ago. It seemed like an ordinary day in the digital world as the gang was settling some conflicts here and there. The gang came up to a mysterious-looking cave. The walls of the cave were glistening.
"Wow!" Mimi exclaimed. "The walls look like they have millions of diamonds inside them! Oh my gosh, what if there ARE diamonds in them? We have to check!"
As Mimi continued to babble on about the walls and Izzy tried to talk some of his scientific talk on her, something caught Sora's eye.
"Hey, what's this?"She walked up to a pedestal with two miniature orbs lying on top of it. "What are these?"Matt walked up behind her to get a closer look, as did the others. The left orb seemed to have a burning fire at its core, with blackness surrounding it. In contrast, the right orb appeared to have a small ocean inside of it with white on its outer shell.
"Not sure," Matt replies. "Maybe we should find out."
Izzy peered over Matt's shoulder. "Well judging by the elements inside each orb, I'd say perhaps you and Tai should pick them up."
"Yeah, but what about the darkness and light in them too? Maybe darkness could be for ken, and light for either Kari or me. No offense ken." T.K. theorized.
"None taken, but I still think perhaps Tai and Matt should try just to see." Tai and Matt nodded to each other. They both went for the orbs.
"Wow it feels so ligh-THUD." Matt was cut off by the sound of Tai falling to the floor. "Maybe not for him." He chuckled then.
"Shut….Up…. Blondie!"Tai was bent over struggling to pick up the orb, finally giving up and falling back to catch a breath. However, the orb began to roll away towards a crack.
"Crap! The orb!" Sora ran over and grabbed it, but surprisingly she picked it up with ease. The others gasped. "What the heck? Tai were you playing some kind of trick on us? This thing is so light, it almost feels as if it isn't there!" She looked up to see the others staring at her and then Matt with awe.
"So it was meant for you too I suppose…"Izzy said, placing his hand at his chin, going into deep thought. Suddenly a glow appeared and the Sora and Matt's orb began to move inside their bodies. All of their eyes grew wide as they watched this happen, especially Matt and Sora's. A portal suddenly opened, and Genai walked out.
"What are you doing here?" The digi-destined all asked in unison.
"Ahh, that will be answered in time, friends. However, Sora I need you to come with me for now, we are going to be away for awhile, so we will have to come up with a cover for you." Genai held his hand out for Sora.
Matt bombarded Genai with questions. "Wait hold on! Just what the hell is going on here? Why do you need only Sora?"
"Yeah tell us whats happening Genai!" Tai said, taking a step forward.
"You will learn in due time. For now, I only need Sora, and perhaps Mimi." They all looked at Mimi.
Mimi quickly glanced around before looking at Genai. "Me?" She asked, pointing to herself in disbelief. "What do you need me for?"
"You are her best friend right?" Mimi nodded. "Well she will need an alibi, and perhaps emotional support for the time to come. We will be gone for a few weeks, maybe more depending on how it goes, so prepare a suitable alibi for you both." With that he looked over at Sora, who took his hand and then motioned for Mimi to join them as they went through the portal. Before going through, Sora and Mimi turned to wave, and then they were gone.
"Ahem! Mr. Ishida, Izumi, Kido, and Kamiya. Do I have to remind you that you all have a test coming up next week and that daydreaming during my class will only earn you a very unpleasing F on said test? Now pay attention!" Mr. Uruhara turned back to the board and began explaining the value of x in the equation.
The four boys all looked at each other wearily before pulling out their notebooks and taking down the notes on the board. After a few moments, Tai leaned into the aisle so the guys could hear him. "I was just thinking…about what happened a month ago." Matt, Joe and Izzy nodded their heads in agreement.
"When, do you think they will be back?" Joe asked, with fear in his voice. "Ma-maybe something dangerous is happening to them. Oh geez!" Sweat began to gather at Joe's forehead as he took off his glasses and started to clean them nervously.
"Calm down Joe, you're going to get us in trouble!" Tai yelled in a whisper. Mr. Uruhara began to turn his back as the four of them quickly composed themselves and feigned working on the assignment. When he turned back around, they all leaned in again. "What do you think Izzy, I know you must be thinking 'bout what happened, I mean, Mimi was your girlfriend dude."
Izzy blushed a bit. "Well Genai did say a few weeks, and it HAS been a few weeks."
"He also said or more." Matt joined in, trying to mask his glumness.
"That is true, however he also said depending on how things go. I'm willing to bet we won't have to wait much longer, I mean for starters I know Mimi won't want to stay cooped up in the digi world for long, so she will probably push Sora to do whatever she has to do quickly." The boys all nodded their heads, smiling at how much Mimi would be freaking out.
"Not to mention Sora isn't one to slack off, she's a hard working. I mean, her grades were second best in the class, next to Genius Boy here." Tai cocked his head towards Izzy, who rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"So, she could be coming back real soon!" Matt said. The others all gave him smirks, causing his face to turn red. "Maybe." He closed his eyes, leaning back with his hands behind his head, trying to mask his embarrassment.
Tai made a devious smile. "Hmm, why so red Blondie? D'ya got the hots for Sora?" Tai leaned over and put his arm on Matt's desk. Then he looked around, as if looking for listeners and whispered: "I promise not to tell." Before snickering.
"Screw. You." Matt murmured.
"No, I'm pretty sure that's what you wanna do to Sor, ain't it." He started play jabbing him with his elbow. "Huh? Huh?" With each question Matt's mouth and eyebrow twitched a bit. "Tell me! Tell me!" Finally Matt cracked.
"WOULD YOU SHADDUP ALREADY!" The whole class grew quiet and turned around to face Matt, including Mr. Uruhara. Tai, Joe, and Izzy clasped their hands to their mouths, attempting to contain their laughs. Matt's face turned bright red as he looked up, only to be greeted by Mr. Uruhara's glare. "No, sir, I wasn't talking to y-"Mr. Uruhara raised his hand.
"Enough, I do not want to hear it, Ishida. I'm terribly sorry that you do not enjoy my being here in this class."
"N-no if you would just let me expla-"his hand rose again.
"I hope you enjoy my presence in the detention room instead, because you'll be joining me this evening." Matt's jaw dropped as the bell rung. The three boys couldn't hold in their laughter anymore and busted out. They grabbed their things and headed towards the door. Tai turned and saluted to Mr. Uruhara and then turned to Matt.
"I hope you enjoy your time together, you two. Don't worry Blondie, I won't tell anyone about Sora, I'll tell everybody!" He started cracking up again as he walked out the door.
Matt's face became fire red and his eyebrow began to twitch again. "Damn you tai." He murmured. "Damn you to hell." He grabbed his things and headed towards the door as well. As he began to pass Mr. Uruhara, he stiffened as he felt his eyes glaring into his soul.
"Good-bye, Ishida, see you soon." Mr. Uruhara said smugly.
"Oh it's a good bye alright you bastard." Matt muttered coldly. "What was that, boy?" Matt stiffened again. "Nothing sir, good bye." He waved as he past the door.
Matt turned into the lunch room to see Tai, Izzy and Joe, (along with the younger teens) all sitting at a table, surrounding Tai. Rolled his eyes sighed as he came closer, only to hear him explaining to the others what had just happened.
"So, being the obviously good friend I am," Tai began. "I wanted to know what was with him, assuming it was regarding Sora, of course." He said matter-of-factly.
"Of course," Kari said, looking up at T.K. and mimicking Tai's voice.
"Then, outta nowhere, he EXPLODED!" Tai threw his arms up into the air wildly. "I mean, he turned red, yelled at the top of his lungs, even had a few veins pop out here and there! It was the whole shebang, I tell ya! Well, as expected for such misbehavior, Mr. Uruhara gave him detention for after school with him. HA!" the whole gang busted out laughing. Matt arrived at the table and Tai wiped a tear away from his eye. "Oh hey Matt, we were just talkin' 'bout ya!"
Matt glared at Tai. "You bastard! I only got detention because you wouldn't shut your trap about Sora! Plus he assumed I was talking about him when I yelled, I outta kick your ass." Matt grabbed Tai by the collar.
Tai put his hands in the air. "Calm down princess, we all miss our lil' knight in shining armor. Now lemme go, you're stretching the fabric!"
T.K. smacked Matt on the back of the shoulder. "Way to go bro! Now, let's go get your dignity from your purse right next to your Backstreet Boys CD and tampons." They all erupted again. T.K exchanged high fives with the others.
"Shut up brat, you're in no position to make fun of me when it comes to girls when you got your own to be worrying about." Matt spat out. T.K. and Kari's faces turned bright red at the comment, and then Matt turned to Izzy. "Not to mention you obviously miss Mimi." Izzy laughed half-heartily and looked down. "And you Tai, ha-ha don't get me started on you. We all know you've been freaking out about her leaving too."
Tai grimaced. "Now, now, don't get your thong in a knot! We were only playing around, Blondie, nothing personal."
Matt tightened his grip on Tai's shirt. "I'll show you 'nothing personal' you walking bush!"
Tai knocked his hand away from him and then took a step closer. "Who're you calling 'walking bush,' Mop-Head?" The two of them continued arguing while the others just shook their heads in disappointment.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. "Geez, you guys are still fighting over the silliest things? It's the first day of school for goodness sake!" The whole gang stopped and turned. All of their eyes grew wide.
"Is that?" Cody asked, astonished.
"It is." The others said in unison, never taking their eyes off of the familiar figure.
