Chapter 2: "My Name is Kurai"
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon, but if I did, then I would add this as an end of series movie, Ahaha! :]
Warning: Language begins to get aggressive in this chapter.
Including a song in this chapter, It's called "Heroes" by Shinedown, when Matt announces the name of the song, you can go to youtube and look it up, or if you know it, you don't have to. It's a good song. Just letting you know.
The cloaked boy knelt down on the edge of the cliff observing the two people in the canyon. "Looks like I'm not the only person here after all." He watched them with interest, keeping quiet as not to alert them to his position.
In the center of the canyon, TK and Kari surveyed the landscape in awe. "What in the world could have done this?" Asked Kari.
"I don't know," Replied TK, "But whatever it is... is destroying the digiworld." TK's D-Terminal vibrated, informing him of an E-Mail. TK opened it up, and scanned the E-Mail.
"What's it say TK?"
"It was from Izzy, he needs us back at his house now." TK and Kari turned around. They walked over to a flat screen monitor that was attached to a rock. "I'm glad the digiports were all updated, it makes traveling much faster." Kari smiled and nodded. They both held their D-3s up to the monitor, and the gate was opened. Light began to come out of the gate and sucked the two in.
Back on top of the cliff, the boy watched in awe. "What the hell?" He said. "They just vanished, possibly back home?" He stood up. "Better be quick, gotta make it down there before that light disappears." The boy then jumped off of the cliff, decending until he hit the hills slope. He slid down the hill as if he were snowboarding down a mountain. By the time he reached the base, he leaped off of one of the rocks on the hill, in the direction of the monitor. He then proceeded to run toward the monitor. "Gotta make it, gotta make it. I need to make it!" He took one last leap, and was consumed by the light. He too vanished.
Flashback:
San Juan, Puerto Rico: September 2004:
"Kurai, don't be afraid." Said a wise old man.
"Afraid?" Said the cloaked boy. "What do you mean?"
"Kurai. The world is a big place. I want you to leave here, explore the world."
"But you saved me, I..."
"Shhhh... Young boy, do not worry." Said the old man. "But you must be off. I'm sending you to Japan."
"What?" Said Kurai in shock. "Why the hell to Japan?"
The old man smiled, never once losing his smile, "It will make sense with time."
Kurai thought about speaking, but chose silence. "Yes sir. Thank you for everything." The old man smiled, and Kurai turned away, walking off into the night.
Flashback End:
TK and Kari, along with Patamon and Gatomon, exited the Digiport on a hill nearby the city. "Alright, lets get to Izzy's place. I'm sure he's analyzed the damage by now." Said TK.
"Yeah, it's so sad though. Countless Digimon losing their homes." TK and Kari began to walk down the hill.
On his way down though, TK decided to look back up the hill. He caught a glimpse of a person in a dark hooded outfit. He saw the person move behind a tree. "Hmm... I wonder what that was..."
"TK, let's go!" Yelled Kari.
TK Now noticing that Kari had made it down the hill already, began to run. "Coming!"
Back on the hill, Kurai stood between the trees, looking around. "Back in Japan? Finally." He began to move cautiously through the woody hill, keeping as quiet as possible. He then reached the edge of the woods and ran into an alley way behind some tall buildings. He stopped running and looked all around him. "Good, no one's back here, don't need anyone thinking I'm a freak. Kurai then crouched down, then looked up. "I can make this, no problem." Kurai then jumped up.
He jumped at least six stories before reaching a windowsill, he grabbed it, and sprung off of it onto the building opposite of it, which had a metal porch structure attached to the side. He quickly climbed up to the railing and leaped off of the to scale the rest of the building. It was at least twenty stories high. Once on the top, he sighed and collapsed. "Being in some strange world took my energy away. Might as well nap here for now." Kurai slowly dozed off into sleep.
The Digidestined gathered at Izzy's house. This was an urgent meeting to say the least. "Well Izzy?" Said Davis, "What's going on?"
"Well," Replied the brainiac, Izzy. "The Digital World is in serious danger. I've been getting reports from Digimon, seen it on cameras, the works. The Digiworld is falling apart."
"But why, is there a reason?" Inquired Matt.
"There is. I've been told numerous times that something has been ravaging the area. It's very strong. The trail of destruction is incredible. Everything is dissolving into zeroes and ones. And we all know that it's not a good thing."
"What will happen to us?" Asked Patamon.
"I don't know yet." Said Izzy, "But we have to find out. The destruction has haulted, and TK and Kari have already been to the Digital world today, so I have an update."
"Well Izzy," Said TK, "The northern region is in ruins. I think that's the place with the most damage out of all of them."
"There was a Koromon colony there." Said Kari. "But I'm not sure if they survived. If something attacked them, they may not be..." Kari sighed and bit her lip. TK felt helpless. He couldn't help much, as he had his own problems at home.
The 18 year old TK sighed. "We'll stop whoever, or whatever it is."
Davis sighed as Ken carefully looked at the images on Izzy's screen. He noticed something that disturbed him. "Hey, Izzy look at this picture."
"Okay." Said Izzy, who typed on his keyboard and enlarged the frame. "What about it?"
"Do you see that object that appears to be floating?"
"Yeah, Why?"
"It looks like..." Ken paused, typed in some more on the keyboard and it focused on the object. "To me, this looks like... my old base..."
A gasp encircled the room. "Your old base?" Said Cody, "But Paildramon destroyed it!"
"I know," Said Ken, "But whoever has control of it now must be a genuis to get that old pile of garbage running again."
"Wow..." Said Tai. "Five years of sitting as a pile of rubble, and it looks good as new."
Ken turned away and walked to the door. "Damn it!" He shouted. "I knew I should never have built that fucking thing!"
"Ken relax, it's fine." Said Davis, trying to relax his friend. "It'll be just fine, we've got this under control." Ken got up and thanked Davis for his friendship.
"Alright, so..." Said Matt. "I've got this gig down at the Maxflav Restaurant tonight. I'll get you guys free meals since I know the owner pretty well, anyone want to go?"
"I will." Said Davis almost instantly.
"Me too," Said Ken. "Should be fun."
"Why not, I'll go." Said Tai.
"Cody and I will also go." Said Yolei.
"Can we come?" Said Veemon, representing the Digimon.
Matt smiled. "Of course, but keep a low profile." Matt winked at Veemon. Everyone laughed. "Izzy, how about you?"
"Sorry Matt, I have to deal with all of this." Said Izzy.
"Oh come on man."
"Sorry guys, what would happen if I left and something bad happened?" Everyone looked sad, but knew it was the best thing.
"Alright Izzy." Said Matt.
"Thanks though." Replied Izzy.
Kurai stood on top of the building. He looked up into the sky. "All these years have passed, and he still hasn't found me." He sighed as he removed his cloak and changed into his black hoodie. "Guess there's no need to wear this out here. His black bands had some stains on them. He looked at the stains, reflecting on his past.
Flashback:
Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, August 2003:
"Get him,stop him, he cannot escape!" Yelled an intimidating voice. Guards armed with AK-47's and Frag Grenades chased after Kurai.
As he ran, there were more guards blocking the closing garage style door. "Fuck, I have to get out!" He looked around at his surroundings. His black hair hanging down in his face. "Damn it, I didn't want to result to this." He drew his sword, and waved it around in a circle. Surrounded, he began to sweat. "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."
The circle of guards opened up allowing the tall figure wearing a black duster coat and bandana in the center with Kurai. "Listen to me boy, your behavior is unacceptable. I told you the operation was almost finished."
"And what?" Snapped Kurai, "Take away who I am completely? I'm not human, not after what you've done to me Vick!"
"But that's the whole point. We need super soldiers to combat the types of issues that we;ve been dealing with, and not let a group of kids and thier pet monsters take care of them. That's what the military is for."
"No." Cried Kurai, "You just need for your own selfish goals."
"Come here my boy." Said the figure we now know as Vick. "We've got work to do, and that door is almost all the way shut." Vick approached Kurai slowly, and with bad intentions as he reached into his pocket.
Kurai winced. "You slimy fucking dog!" Kurai rammed his sword right through Vick's abdomen, exiting though his back, and shooting blood in every direction. Blood drops landed on Kurai's pants. Vick groaned in pain. "I'm leaving you fuck!" Kurai pulled the sword out of Vick's body and Vick dropped the the ground.
"You'll pay you little bastard!" Vick shouted. "Guards, kill him now!" The guards all aimed their rifles at Kurai, who took a fighting stance.
Suddenly, and explosion at the door cuased shrapnel to fly everywhere, lacerating most of the guards. The smoke was then whipped out of the way by the propeller of a helicopter. Kurai took this as a sign and ran for the door. For the first time ever, he leaped about eight stories high and grabbed onto the landing ski of the helicopter. One of the guards shot a tranqualizer round into Kurai's neck, but a man on the chopper grabbed his hand and pulled him onboard.
Flashback End:
Kurai stopped thinking about his past and focused on his present. "Alright, time for something to eat. I suppose this hoodie will have to do for now, don't want to get attached to anyone." Kurai jumped from building top to building top in search of a good place to eat. He stopped on a particularly low roof just across the street from the Maxflav restaurant. "Hmm... that place looks good." He jumped down the side of the building and exited the alley, casually, not to draw attention to himself.
Kurai then noticed a groupd of people about his age enter the restaurant. Among these two people were TK and Kari, the two people he had seen in the Digital world just hours before. "Damn, they're here too?" He said to himself. "Oh well, I guess it won't hurt, maybe I can learn something about them." He put his hands into his pockets and walked across the street. His sword was retractable, so it easily fit undearneath his pants without causing a problem.
Inside, TK, Kari, Ken, Davis, Cody, Yolei, and Tai had already found a table and sat down. "Alright," Said Davis, "Everyone got their orders finished?" Everyone nodded, and the waitress came around and began collecting orders.
While she did this, TK looked over to the counter and saw a boy in a black hoodie. Hey, he thought to himself, I think that was the kid that was on that hill with us. I'd better keep an eye on him.
"TK," Said Davis. "Take your order!"
"Oh right," Said TK, "Sorry ma'am."
Kurai sat down at the counter.
"So what would you like kid?" Asked the bartender.
"Just a coke, and a burger." Said Kurai.
"Alright." Said the bartender. Kurai noticed the Digidestined at the table. He knew that TK was watching him. He winced at him, then noticed Matt's band on stage. Kurai looked at the Bartender. "Heh, those guys up there, they're the Teenage Wolves."
"Teenage?" Said Kurai, looking at the five on stage. "They look at least twenty two."
"I've urged them to change the name, but they're just too stubborn." The bartender smiled. "But they are talented, I'll give em' credit."
Matt spoke into the microphone. "Alright everyone, you know me, I'm Matt, this is my band, the Teenage Wolves. We are going to start out a little differently tonight. Recently we've discovered a rock band from America, and they just put out an album. The band is called Shinedown, and we're going to cover one of the songs on their new album. It's called 'Us and Them' and I urge you to pick it up."
Everyone clapped and cheered, a lot of them knowing of Shinedown.
"I used to listen to them all of the time." Said Kurai, "They were my favorite band."
"What happened?" Asked the bartender.
"I don't know... I just got... busy in a sense." Said Kurai.
Matt once again spoke, "This is my buddy Tony, and he'll be playing bass for us tonight. This song is called Heroes, Hit it Tony." The music began.
"They've improved." Said Kari.
"Yeah, they've been practicing a lot lately." Replied TK. TK then spotted someone familiar in the room. Jason, a kid that tried to rape Kari in an alley on her way home from TK's house one night. "Uh oh, it's Jason."
Kari cringed. Davis began to cough. "What's that douche bag doing here, if he comes over here, I'll..."
"You won't do anything." Said Ken. "Remain calm, violence doesn't solve a lot of things." Davis sighed.
Jason made his way over to the table, stumbling around. Unfortunately, Kari was on the outside of the table. "And he's fucking drunk." Said an angered TK.
"Hey there sugar." Said the drunk Jason, "Remember that night in the alley?"
"Yeah, why do you even ask?" Said Kari.
"Well, tonight, since I'm drunk, and don't give two fucks, I'ma try it again right here."
"You're really so idiotic." Said Davis. "You think being surrounded by so many people, and you'll get away with it?"
"Watch me." Jason grabbed Kari's arm and yanked her up to him. "Come here slut."
"Put her down!" Shouted TK, who got up and went to attack Jason. Jason put his elbow up and hit TK in the face, causing him to stumble back. Kari was fearful. scared that he might actually gt away with it. No one was paying attention because of Matt's band.
Only one payed attention. Kura noticed this assault and got up from his seat. "Hey asshole, you might just want to let her go."
Jason let go and turned to Kurai. "Who are you, to be telling me what to do."
Kurai looked up, exposing his blue eyes to everyone. "My name is Kurai... And I'm your worst nightmare." Jason took a swing, but Kurai ducked it. He took more swings, and Kurai kept ducking them. "Come on, drunk man, hit me." Jason threw one more punch that Kurai blocked. "Sorry, strike three. You're out." Kurai used his flexibility to kick Jason in the jaw, causing his head to fly up, he then gave him a side kick and dropped Jason.
TK's nose was bleeding, but he watched the fight take place. Jason got back up, and idiotically went for another punch. "Fool." Said Kurai, who side stepped Jason, and gave him a roundhouse kick to the back of Jason's head. He flew onto the bar, cracking it and breaking glasses, then, Jason slid off of the table and broke a table right in half, along with all of the glasses and dishes on it. "Takes care of that." The Digidestined were astonished by this. Kari sighed as she was no longer in danger.
Kurai put his hands into his pockets and walked away. He pulled out a check from his pocket and placed it on the counter, in front of the bartender. "For the damages." Said Kurai. Kurai left the building. Matt's band didn't stop playing through any of this.
"Are you okay Kari?" Said TK with care.
"Yeah, I think so." Replied Kari. "Who... who is that guy?"
"Who knows." Said Davis. "But he sure kicked Jason's ass!"
They started laughing. Even TK began to laugh. But he was still suspicious about Kurai. "I'll find out who he is eventually."
And that ends chapter two. It was long, but it was worth writing in my eyes. Hope you all enjoyed it, I will try to update this as much as I can. Please review, and I'll update soon.
