Hey, all! I now present to you the second chapter of my long awaited Dimitri special. I am glad to hear such great reviews concerning this particular movie fic and hope you'll stick around until the end. Although, I did receive one tiny flame from a moron but I'm not going to let such a tiny nuisance bother me. ((cough)) ((cough)) Anyway, onto MORE important matters. :D
This story will only get more violent, graphic and heavy on strong language. Those with weak hearts I suggest you read with caution. Anyone under the age of 13, you might as not read this story, as the violence gets too graphic. You have been WARNED!
Let's see, what else? Hmmm… Oh yeah! Who long will this chapter last? It really depends on how far I want to go. I'm aiming for between nine to ten chapters, maybe a little more. This is a movie fic I would like to experiment and explore uncharted avenues. There will be a lot of stuff to occur. This means I'll have to push back my upcoming movie fics back at least a month. So that means the Mutalior sequel probably won't be out until November, the Ultimate Artificial in December and Reapermon in January. Plus, I still want to work on my Rajita fic. Then, there's schoolwork to worry about. There's no telling what the future holds but please bare with me.
Well, that's enough out of me. Let's get right on with the fic! Enjoy!

The Death of a Hero! Just Who Really Were the Artificials?
August 12, 2004
Odaiba Notama Apartment Complex/Kamiya Residence/4:05 P.M.
One year has passed since Tai and Agumon's return from Azulongmon's training. They have finally managed to master the Omega X form without exerting too much power. They've also learned a new, useful technique during the course of their training: the rare Time Warp teleportation. Technically, only Agumon could perform this, but Tai can use it when they merge into Omega X. The Time Warp is a method of high-speed travel. This allows Omega X that is in contact with him to travel at the speed of light for great distances, going as far as meters to thousands of kilometers and even off planets, just by concentrating on a particular individual's energy signature and transmitting it to the being's location. Omega X, or Agumon, simply needs to place his index and middle fingers on the forehead to enable them to concentrate.
It was through this method that enabled Omega X to teleport from a space pod, after leaving the Holy Beasts' post, and arrived in the Digital World to stop Burizalor. The warrior had the tyrant and his men outmatched. Demonstrating his new technique, Omega X used it to teleport himself directly in front of Burizalor and vaporized the tyrant with a Terra Beam.
Now, Tai and Agumon have enjoyed these past eleven months. Their family and friends were happy to see them again, yet that meant Tai had to return to make up school. Such a bummer that Tai had to go back to school even after defeating the Digital World's most feared tyrant.
Oh well, that was simply life.
Lying back on the couch, Tai yawned and stretched out. It was a long day at school and all of those make-up exams were killing him. Fortunately, Izzy and Sora were there to help Tai study. It would be a while for the goggle boy to even start classes in high school.
"Ugh, man what a day," Tai let out a sigh of relief and placed a pillow over his face. "All of these exams are killing me… Now would be good time for me to take a nap. So, what have you been doing all day, buddy?"
Agumon was sitting down in front of the television and swallowing a loaf of Chinese buns. He turned around with a mouthful and spoke out with food still in his mouth.
"Mmmphf, mmmpf, gowth, mmmpf…"
"All right, buddy, maybe you might want to tell me after you've swallowed that," Tai chuckled as he saw how much food was stuffed in the reptile's mouth.
Once swallowing the bun, Agumon cleared his throat and replied, "I said I've only been eating and watching the TV. Why?"
"Why not try something a little more productive during the day?"
"Like what?"
The goggle boy stopped and thought this over. He tried figuring out what his digimon should be doing rather than sitting on his bum and eating all day.
"I don't know. Maybe you could exercise a bit and train? I mean we're both the components needed to form Omega X. We have to stay in our tip top conditions. Remember what Azulongmon said?"
"Yeah, but I can't do it without you. You're too busy stuck at school."
"What choice do I even have? I have to make up for almost four years! Do you realize just how long it's going to take for me to put up with this crap? These make-up exams are driving me nuts!"
"Maybe you can forget about school?"
"I wish I could, but mom would kick my ass if I don't take these make-up exams," Tai snickered and wiped his forehead. "Man, is it just me or is the room suddenly getting hot?"
"It maybe just you, because the air conditioner is on. I think…"
Tai sat up from the couch and let out an exhale. He placed his hand over his forehead and wiped the sweat off. He wondered why he was suddenly uncontrollably sweating. It couldn't have been the room temperature since it was at normal temperatures.
"Mom always has it on cold or normal, but never turns it on hot. Unless it was winter, but we're not even close to it," Tai said as he got up and felt the environment around him. "Strange yet I'm sweating like a pig here. What could be the reason for this?"
"Tai? Are you going to be all right?" Agumon walked up to Tai. "You… You don't look well. Maybe studying too much took a toll?"
"Maybe, but I feel like I'm burning up and running a fever," Tai panted lightly and smiled. "Man, maybe I just need to lie down…"
"Sit back on the couch then. I'll go get Gatomon and Kari," Agumon instructed his partner and helped him sit on the couch. "Don't strain yourself, Tai."
"Damn, I'm sweating like a pig here," Tai gasped out.
Just in time, Kari and Gatomon entered the living room to find Tai sitting on the couch. The younger Kamiya sibling marched towards the couch and looked down at her brother.
"Hey, Tai? So, how did the exams go?" Kari asked her older brother.
"Kari, there's something wrong with Tai!" Agumon called out to Kari. "He suddenly started to burn up and he is sweating uncontrollably!"
"What! But it couldn't be just because of the room temperature," Kari gasped and felt touched her brother's forehead. "You're running a fever, Tai!"
"Yeah… I must have studied a little too hard," Tai chuckled but not long as he felt pain in his chest. "ARGH… God damn it… Now it feels…"
"Tai! Tell us what's wrong!" Gatomon jumped on the boy's lap. "We need to know right away so we can at least help!"
"Please, Tai, you're scaring me," Kari said with a look of fear on her face. "We need to know. We can call a doctor! I can call mom and she can get a doctor over here!"
"No, I don't need a doctor… Heh," Tai smiled and stubbornly stood up. "I just need some water and rest. That's all. It's not like I'm dying or something…"
"No, but we're very concerned!" Agumon approached his partner. "C'mon, Tai, let's…"
As soon as Agumon said that, he too stopped and fell down to his knees. Gatomon immediately responded to the reptile and kneeled by his side. Kari was scared stiff as both Tai and Agumon were sweating. However, Tai had the much worse condition. He gripped his chest and breathed uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, Tai, but I'm going to call mom and the hospital! There's no way you should be here in this condition!" Kari ran out of the living room. "Gatomon, you stay and look after them! I'll be right back!"
"I'm right on it, Kari!" Gatomon nodded in reply and remained by her friends' sides. "Man, I don't like the looks of this. Tai's breathing uncontrollably. I doubt a human should look like this. Agumon's not looking good either!"
"It'll be all right," Tai chuckled despite feeling excruciating pain in his chest. "Can hardly breathe… Damn, looks like I'll have to go to the hospital after all."
"Hang in there, Tai! We're going to get you to the nearest hospital!" Gatomon assured the teen.
"I hope they can help treat a digimon, too…" Agumon whispered as he grasped his chest.
"Kari, hurry up! I don't think they can hold up much longer in this condition," Gatomon called out to her partner. "Hey, what's taking so long?"
Walking out of her parent's room, Kari came rushing in and kneeled over to her brother's side. She placed an arm over her brother's left side and struggled to hold him up.
"I've just called mom and the local hospital!" Kari said to Gatomon. "Once we get in the ambulance cart, I'll be sure to call Sora and the others. They have every right to know about this."
"Man, to think that Tai over studying resulted in this," Gatomon said.
"No… I don't think so," Agumon struggled to speak.
"Agumon…?" Kari whispered as she turned to face the reptile.
"Tai and I are connected… Therefore, I can feel his pain…"
"That's right. So, what could be the reason for this?" Gatomon kneeled over to Agumon.
"I'm not sure but it feels like my chest is about to explode…"
"…He's right, you guys…" Tai strained with beads of sweat covering his face. "After all the studying I've done, I remember that pain in the heart is a symptom of…"
Kari gasped out in horror before Tai had a chance to finish and answered for him, "Oh my god… A symptom of heart disease? Oh my god… But that should normally happen with older people! You've been healthy this whole time. It doesn't make sense!"
"I don't know about that… It can happen to anyone…" Tai replied. "Damn… I feel like… I'm dying… No, I have a long life ahead of me… I can't go like this… I've fought Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, Burizalor and even Matt… I managed to overcome them with you guys, but for me to lose to a stupid disease…? Oh no… That's fucking weak if you ask me… I'm not weak…"
"Please, don't speak anymore, Tai. You're only straining yourself and that's not what you need," Gatomon said to the goggle boy. "But how did Tai and Agumon manage to contract this? This is suddenly happening out of the blue. Unless, they received this when they stayed to train with Azulongmon. There are certain diseases in the Digital World that would fatally kill a human."
"Gatomon, what is it?" Kari asked the feline worryingly.
"I… I… I think I know how he contracted this…"
"Tell me…" Tai muttered curiously.
"Tai, I think you may have caught this when you have been training under Azulongmon. Tell me, do you remember training on any foreign planets?"
"I remember Agumon and I were sent to the fog planet, Hyareva," Tai responded. "We were sent to save the native inhabitants from this monster named Sobamon. He was one tough son of a bitch but we managed to beat him as… Omega X… This was sometime after we came back to help you guys beat Mutalior…"
"Then, you might have contracted the disease from that Sobamon or one of the inhabitants. I knew it. There are places in the Digital Universe that humans should not be exposed to. There's certain diseases a digimon would normally be immune to yet it will be harmful to other types when exposed," Gatomon explained to Kari and Tai. "Unfortunately for these two, they may have caught the disease."
"But they just returned. You mean to tell me that this disease builds up slowly?" Kari asked.
"I would think so, but I'm not even so sure myself," Gatomon sighed and nodded her head. "I'm sorry, but there's nothing more I can explain to you."
"Damn, to think I'm going to die from a damn virus…" Tai growled angrily.
"Oh, Tai!" Kari cried out and buried her face against her brother's shoulder. "I'm sure the doctors will help you, but you have to stay alive for all of us. Don't you dare die!"
"Don't worry, Kari. It's going to take more than a stupid bug to put me and Agumon out," Tai embraced his sister and strained under his breath. "But I can't make a promise, Kari… Why didn't Azulongmon ever warn me about this? I should have been told in the first place!"
"Mom's going to meet us at the hospital and the ambulance team should arrive here any minute now, but I want you to stay with us," Kari instructed her brother. "Don't you dying on me. Please…"
"I promise…" Tai nodded in reply even though he wasn't sure how long he can resist against the excruciating pain in his chest.
"I have to ask myself why Azulongmon never warned these two? I figured Agumon would have known but it appears he doesn't. That's a good reason why Myotismon never sent any one of his men into digital space. Of course he didn't have any spaceships, but he knew that there were certain viruses that can kill a digimon on contact. This Planet Hyareva is a perfect example of that type of planet. I didn't think it was even possible for there to be deadly digital viruses that kill digimon or even humans on contact."
Just then, Gatomon's ears perked as she picked up on a high sound frequency from the outside. It was coming from an ambulance truck. This was the one that would pick Tai up and transport him to the nearest hospital. She nudged Kari's shoulder and pointed to the outside.
"They're here, Kari. Let's get Tai and Agumon loaded in."
The girl nodded in reply with tears in her eyes, "Right, let's get this over with. Are you ready, Tai? I'm going to need your cooperation in this."
"Don't worry about me. Just do what you have to do," Tai replied.
"Ok, let's get going, Gatomon. You carry Agumon and I'll help with Tai," Kari instructed her digimon partner.
"Right!" the feline digimon responded.
In time, the ambulance would arrive at the Kamiya residence to pick up Tai and transport him to the local Odaiba Memorial Hospital. This was truly a frightening moment for Kari, but she has yet to call Sora and the others. Once she had informed them of this terrible incident, there would surely be distraught amongst the Digi-Destined team. These next twenty-four hours would be the most difficult the children would ever have to endure.
Unbeknownst to the Kamiya family, there appeared to be a tiny insect robot perched on against a window. It scanned the entire apartment with a tiny satellite out of its back. The tiny insect spoke in a tiny, robotic voice that sounded strikingly similar to Datamon. In fact, it was Datamon. The insect laughed out amusingly at the tragic sight and at the anguish of Tai's current state.
"Ha… That's what you get for playing your stupid little soccer games, dear Taichi," Datamon responded through the insect's radio transmission. "You least expected for my insect to inject you with the D-Virus, a little bio-engineered virus that I've cooked up. You are merely the test subject. If it's successfully, I can use it to wipe out a large population of you despicable humans. Of course, that's not even half the fun. My two artificials will be complete soon. So, enjoy the last hours of your life, Taichi. For once you and your digimon partner are gone, my androids will destroy what's left of the Digi-Destined. Oh, what a happy day this turned out to be! Victory is at last mine! Now, insect bot, return to me at once. Your mission is complete."
As soon as Datamon cut off radio transmission, the insect robot flew off the window and disappeared into the far distance. Datamon had finally gotten the last laugh over Taichi, but would his plan truly succeed? What about these two artificials he has mentioned about? In fact, just what exactly is this D-Virus?
It is now evident that Tai and Agumon's viral contraction came straight from Datamon's insect robot rather than from the inhabitants of Planet Hyareva.
The dark, enigmatic secrets will finally be exposed to light.
…
Outskirts of Kyoto/Innards of a Cave/Datamon's Laboratory/5:30 PM
…
The treacherous darkness of Datamon's laboratory… It was quiet yet eerie. There wasn't a good thing to say about this hellhole not when banshee screams have been overheard for the past year. Fortunately, the laboratory has been long isolated from human contact and no one has information on Datamon's whereabouts. Not even Azulongmon or the other Holy Beasts have investigated. The devious mastermind has been hard at work devising new weapons of destruction to carry out his vengeance on the Digi-Destined, including Taichi Kamiya.
However, today was Datamon's best day of his life. The insect robot had done its job and injected the goggle boy with the deadly D-Virus. It would be only a matter of time before Tai and Agumon leave the world. Just the sheer thought of Tai on his deathbed was enough to make Datamon tremble with overexcited joy. This only proved just how much of a heartless rat bastard Datamon proved to be. At long last, his revenge would become a reality. He had achieved his ultimate goal and would soon take apart the rest of the Digi-Destined with his newest weapons.
The robotic mastermind was sitting on a table while carefully working on what appeared to be a remote control device. This was the device he would use to activate his two deadly weapons of mass destruction. The villainous genius snickered to himself devilishly as perverted thoughts crossed his mind.
"Oh yes… Almost complete," Datamon chuckled to himself. "Once I'm through completing this device, there will be nothing to stand in my way of unleashing my two artificial demons. Yes, my children, it will be moments before you go out and have fun in your new playground. This planet and the Digital World will be your new playing grounds! Every digimon and human shall provide you with the entertainment you've been yearning for. Humph, now my insect robot should have been here by now. I truly need to be convinced that he injected Taichi and his Agumon pest with the D-Virus. I must know if the D-Virus is a success or a failure. It really all depends on the human biology. I'll give Taichi another few hours longer before he croaks!"
Just as he mentioned the insect robot, the actual D-Virus carrier came flying in through a tube sticking out through the ceiling. The robotic insect quickly flew down and landed on the table near where Datamon was sitting. Datamon picked up his tiny subordinate and rubbed its head gently.
"Ah, good, you're back and I see your fluid tube is empty. So, you've managed to inject Taichi and Agumon with the D-Virus."
"Yes, sir, Datamon… The mission is a complete success and we shall witness whether the D-Virus will truly live up to its hype. It will be a matter of time before we see Taichi breathe his last breath."
"Excellent, I look forward to this moment…"
With that said Datamon hopped inside his cyborg suit and flipped on the controls on manual. He controlled the motions of the android body and marched towards two sealed, glass capsules. He studied the capsules to observe his two pet projects. Resting inside the capsules were the two androids Datamon had been speaking fondly of.
"Ah, I see you are resting well, my children," Datamon chuckled. "Months from now, you will be awakened from your slumbers and you will create havoc on the human race. Take your revenge on the ones who have abandoned you and make them suffer! Show them what fear really is! Because even the Digi-Destined have no hopes of stopping you! They will be broken without their leader and that will give you the clear advantage, my dear children!"
Datamon scanned the capsule containing a young male with black hair and chuckled amusingly. In the second capsule there laid a girl that looked like the boy but with longer hair and more feminine features.
"Perfect, Artificial Unit Jax, you should become fully obedient when I release you. You should no longer have anymore fatal flaws and I've managed to erase all of your past memories. Now you or your dear sister can never rebel against me," Datamon spoke and motioned towards the near complete remote control. "In fact, if you attempt to disobey me again, I'll simply shut you off with the remote control I've constructed."
Controlling the pace of his android body, Datamon picked the control off the table and pointed it directly at the glass capsules.
"You shall bring me victory, my children! Together we shall have both humans and digimon pay for humiliating us! We will no longer be hiding in the shadows! It was the humans who shunned you out of their society and now you two have become beings superior to the flesh the humans represent! May the race of the machines rise and take their rightful place amongst the low level flesh! Our time has come, my children! We shall embrace the domination of two worlds and I will finally become the God everyone must worship! Even the Holy Beasts have no choice but to bow to me as their lord! Oh, what a glorious moment it shall be within a few months time! But first, in order for me to achieve my long goal, I shall bare witness the death of the Digi-Destined of Courage! I hope you die an agonizing death, Taichi! For the humiliation you put me through and thwarting my plans for Digital World domination! Once you are gone from this world, my androids will send the rest of your comrades to their graves! The machines shall rise and eliminate the flesh… A New World Order will be placed forth and it's all thanks to you, my dear children… Ha! Ha!"
As the psychotic madman gloated and continued to laugh, the two bio-androids remained sleeping in their capsules. It appeared Datamon was confident to gain their full obedience once they are released. Unfortunately, the arrogant Datamon did not take into account that these two still managed to retain their memories and resisted against Datamon's mind-control programming. They were already plotting a scheme to rebel against Datamon and proceed to eliminate the human, including the Digi-Destined, in their own twisted manner.
In fact, the siblings could even remember the events that led up to their capture and hellish conversion into cold, demonic weapons of mass destruction. Oh yes, they remember every excruciating moment. Datamon does not realize just how twisted their minds have become. Filled with revenge and hate. Their vengeance would be bitter sweet.
…
…
A close-up view of Sonja and Jax. They slept peacefully yet they were visualizing images of their past memories. They were specifically memories of their past human lives before their conversion. It all seemed not too long ago that the siblings were nothing more than normal teenage kids.

Flashback/July 30, 2003/Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan/Rainbow Bridge/10:15 AM
It was a beautiful morning in the Odaiba district. The sun shone brightly over the island metropolis with the Rainbow Bridge standing majestically and linking into Tokyo. There were two teens standing on the side of the bridge. One boy and a girl. They both have black hair and looked almost like twins. In fact, they are twin siblings. The girl has longer hair while the boy had it shorter. They gazed down towards the bayside of Tokyo.
The girl looked over to the boy and let out a sigh. "Damn, am I bored? So, what exactly did you have in mind, Jax?" the girl asked curiously. "We didn't skip school for nothing." "Who cares about school? I was thinking that we should just get away from this trash heap. We really don't have any family. Our mom died from giving birth to us and dad's a real asshole. Would you rather live with an abusive son of a bitch like him?" "No, I don't, Jax, but where will we go?" "We can hang with my rag tag group." "You mean with your gang of buddies? No thanks. They'll obviously try to hit on me and you know how bitchy I can get when perverts even come close to me. Don't even joke around." "Sorry, Sonja. I didn't know those guys got on your nerves. All right, what do you propose we do now? We left home and dad could even care less. It's our freedom, sis. Think about it," Jax attempted to convince his sister. "There's a whole world out there. We can explore. I'm sure we'll find some jobs. We can start our own lives without authority figures to boss us around and tell us what's right." "But as the older sister, I should be the one to direct orders. I should be the one to look after you and make sure you don't do anything stupid," Sonja crossed her arms and snorted. "Hey, I don't need you to tell me what to do," Jax scoffed. "It's not like you're mom anyway." "Mom's gone and I know that, but I obviously have to keep an eye on you. You don't think," the elder sibling picked up a rock and tossed it across into the bay. "Sometimes, I wonder why I even act more like a mom than a sister." "Whatever… I know what I'm going to do first," Jax said as he hopped on a black and silver Kawasaki Ninja 500R. "Ready to get going, sis? We can go and explore around Odaiba." "Sure, why not? There's nothing better to do than look at this boring scenery," Sonja shrugged and jumped on the backside of the motorbike. "Just, don't get reckless like you usually are." "Blah, blah, you never quit complaining do you?" Jax mocked his sister and started up the engines. "Oh yeah! Let's get this bad boy started! Hell yeah, baby!" "Oh god… Men…" Sonja muttered. With that said Jax drove the motorbike across the bridge and zip through the upcoming traffic. As usual, Jax drove recklessly and went WAAAAAAAY past the speed limit. The male hollered out to let everyone know that he was going to have the time of his life. "C'MON BABY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "WILL YOU QUIT ACTING LIKE A COMPLETE JACKASS! UGH! YOU ARE SO HOPELESS!" … … With the siblings driving across the bridge into the other side of Tokyo, there was an ominous figure looking on and disguised underneath a trench coat. A pair of yellow eyes flashed under a hood and gave off an eerie, effect. It was through intelligence, which led to this individual to finding the two siblings, but for what purpose? Why was he watching Jax and Sonja? The figure chuckled to himself after catching glimpse of the two siblings driving by on their motorbike. "At long last, I've found the two suitable test subjects for my artificial project. My search is over. It is time that I make my move and properly introduce myself to them. Since, they will be conducting business for me from this forward on… Oh what a glorious day…" With that said, the figure phased out from his hidden location and disappeared to follow out his designated targets. Once he find these two, the first step to his goal would be complete. It was only a matter of time…
Flashback/Odaiba Hotlegs Night Club & Mosh Show/11:35 PM
Later that night, the two siblings decided that they would have some fun and great quality time hanging at a local nightclub in Odaiba. This was one of the many small nightstands where many head bangers, moshers and usually Goths would hang out. They would socialize, drink, take part in dangerous mosh pits and even take illegal drugs. This was not exactly your usual night since Wednesday nights belong to the freaks. In this case, Jax and Sonja would associate themselves with these 'freaks' to get away from their normal life.
The siblings were enjoying themselves that evening. Jax sat back on a couch while taking a smoke out of a marijuana bud and exhaled out of his mouth. He coughed and chuckled to himself. The buzz was already kicking into high gear.
"Now this Mary Jane is the shiznit!" Jax exclaimed as he laughed. "Weee… Oh yeah! This is some good shit!"
On the other side, Sonja was head banging with a group of girls to numerous themes, including those of Slipknot, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Van Halen, etc. Suffice to say, Sonja was also singing out the lyrics of her favorite songs.
"Man, to think dad has been keeping us away from these kinds of places!" Sonja stated as she threw up a 'devil horns' gesture with her right hand. "This is really a good way to get away from that old bastard!"
"Hey, Sonja, how about trying some of this weed?" a pink-haired, black clothed girl asked as she held a bud of weed.
"No thanks. I don't smoke that shit," Sonja declined. "Though, thanks for the offer. How about some shots of whiskey?"
"Hum, we'll see if we can get you some. Wait right here, ok?"
"Thanks," Sonja nodded. "Hey, Jax? Damn, you're already high, aren't you?"
Lying back on the couch, Jax blew out smoke and formed 'hoops' out of that smoke. His eyes were becoming glazed over and laughed out.
"Oh hell yeah! I'm seeing pink elephants and rainbow stars already!" Jax exclaimed. "This really is good shit!"
As the siblings were enjoying themselves and having a blast, a man wearing black clothing and white face paint approached the area they were located. Sonja sat up and walked over to grab her glass of whiskey that was being served. She walked past the man and was unaware of what he would do next. For his action would change the lives of the siblings forever.
"Here, you go, Sonja," the pink-haired girl grabbed the whiskey glass and handed it to Sonja.
"Thanks," Sonja smiled as she took the drink.
"You're brother is such a hottie if you ask me," the girl said as she eyed Jax. "He's seems to be a really cool guy to be around."
"Yeah, he's fun but he can be so reckless and full of himself," Sonja scoffed. "He always likes to get himself into trouble and I'm always there to bail him out."
"Wow, you're like a great sister for a guy like him!" the girl giggled. "By the way, my name's Star."
"That's such a pretty name," Sonja smiled as she touched Star's cross necklace.
"Thanks and Sonja is a beautiful name," Star replied.
"Some friends call me angel…"
"Why's that?"
"It's all because my eyes are as blue as the heavens. I don't know why they say that but that's what they tell me," Sonja shrugged. "My mother was named Angel…"
"Angel, Sonja… They're both really pretty names," Star sighed as she sat down on a chair. "Ah, maybe I can show you to a couple of my guy friends. I'm sure you'll find a cute boyfriend, Sonja."
"Yeah, I'd like to meet your friends, Star. Please, introduce me to them."
"Sure! Just follow me and I'll lead the way," Star sat up with an enthusiastic look and took Sonja by her hands. "You'll love my friends!"
However, before Sonja was led away by Star, the raven-haired girl felt her heart racing and her blood chill. She instantly turned around and caught glimpse of her brother confronted by the guy who had walked past her. Jax and the young guy were getting into a verbal spat. The guy was arguing with Jax over being too near his girls. This resulted in the guy pushing Jax away, which led to Jax retaliating with a right hand fist across the guy's face. This sent him falling to the ground with a bruise on his face.
"Aw, shit! Jax! What the hell is going on!" Sonja cursed to herself and quickly ran over to where her brother was standing.
"Wow, not only is her brother cute a hottie but he sure can kick some ass!" Star watched the events unfold. "I wouldn't mind having a boyfriend like that to protect me!"
Sonja ran over towards her brother and held him back from further inflicting pain on the fallen young man. However, Jax was ready to go for another round and spat across at where he laid the guy laying.
"What now, bitch! You want some more! I'll give you some more!" Jax cursed while challenging the guy.
"You've done enough damage for one night, Jax! Do you want us to get in trouble and get arrested by the damn cops?" Sonja angrily scolded her brother.
"Hey, don't you tell me what to do! You mind your own business, sis!"
"No, because I don't want to get in trouble all due to you acting like a complete dumb ass! Ugh, I can't believe we're even discussing this!"
"Why don't you go find yourself three boyfriends and hope to get laid with anyone of them!" Jax spat out.
Oh, that was it! He didn't just go and say that. Sonja had heard enough out of her baby brother and decided to let him have it.
…
…
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! …
…
With one hard slap, Sonja decked her brother and caused him to slide back from the force. This caused a hushed silence in the club. The sister was sick of her little brother's cocky attitude and let him have it. Jax felt the welt on his right cheek and glared angrily towards Sonja with eyes filled with indescribable rage.
All he had to say was two words, "You bitch…"
"Yeah? Well, you're an arrogant asshole who doesn't even seem to know his place. You don't even have any respect for your own sister! All I wanted was a good time and now you're ruining it!"
"That asshole picked a fight with me!"
"Did you even think about the fact that the girl you've hung around with was her boyfriend? You see? You don't think!" Sonja slapped her forehead. "Oh man… You are completely hopeless."
"Then, be my guest and leave!"
"Fine, maybe I will! I don't have to put up with your crap anymore! C'mon, Star, we're getting the hell out of here!" Sonja said as she simply turned her back on her brother and picked up her belongings.
"See if I care? You go and hang with your new buddy! I'm sure you'll be the best of friends!"
"At least she's easier to get along and cares about how I feel!" Sonja retorted directly at her brother. "I just wish you were never around to torment me!"
"I can say the same for you, you slut!" Jax roared out.
"Heh, your wish is my command…" the downed young man whispered and pulled out a firearm.
Before long, with time suddenly freezing, Jax quickly heard the click of a trigger and turned around. Then…
…
…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
…
…
The younger sibling found himself on the receiving end of a bullet PIERCING through his chest cavity. Jax gasped out in horror as he spat out a mouth full of blood and slammed hard through a table.
Sonja screamed out in horror at the sight, as did many frightened females in the nightclub. Star covered her eyes from the horrifying sight and busted into tears.
"JAX!" the older sibling screamed out for her brother and watched as he dropped to the floor. "JAX!"
The screams from Sonja managed to catch the attention of the young man with the firearm. A grin crossed his face and he pointed directly at her. Sonja gasped in horror as the gun was directly pointed for her.
"Ah, so you're this punk's sister? My, my, you're one fine bitch. Why don't you make it easier for yourself and come with me to my crib? I'll give you the best quality time of your life."
Those comments really set the spark off within Sonja. This guy just had the nerve to treat her like some sort of prostitute after shooting her own brother directly in front of her. Just how stupid did he take Sonja for? Well, she wasn't going to take this crap lying down. Sonja's eyes turned cold as she stared directly at the guy. Normally, when she's pissed, her guys would turn from light angelic blue to a darker, ice blue pigmentation.
"YOU HAVE THE NERVE! I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF YOU ASSHOLE!" Sonja screamed out.
"Oh, a feisty one, but we can change all of that in just one night! Now come to me, bitch!"
"…I don't think so…" the voice of Jax whispered.
The armed man gasped out and looked down to find Jax grabbing his leg. Before he had a chance to fire, Jax grabbed a knife from the floor and stabbed him in the leg. This dealt a damaging blow to the man's leg as Jax sunk the knife deeper. The blade pressed through the layers of flesh and drew out first blood. As the man dropped his gun and went over to grab the knife, this allowed Sonja the opportunity to attack the man. She pulled out a pocket knife from out of her purse and quickly slashed the man across his throat. There was a sudden pause in time as she cut the man's throat and rolled over to her brother's side. The man held his bleeding throat and couldn't even speak anymore. The major loss of blood caused him to drop to both knees and fall face first to the ground.
"JAX! JAX!" Sonja shook her brother and cried out with tears swelling up. "Oh shit… You're bleeding profusely! I have to get you to the hospital!"
"Heh… I'm not looking too hot am I, sis?"
"Oh shut up, you idiot…" Sonja cried out as she hugged her brother and cried. "Somebody, please call for help! Anyone!"
"I'll go and call, Sonja! Leave everything to me!" Star called out to her new friend.
"Thank you, Star! I deeply appreciate it! I know you wanted to get to know my brother and this would benefit greatly!"
"Right, just give me a few minutes!" Star exclaimed as she ran over to find the nearest phone booth.
Jax yelled out as more blood came pouring out of his wounded chest. At this rate, he would die from blood loss. Sonja gripped her brother's right hand and tried to remain strong for her sibling. She had promised to watch over him and she absolutely terrible for letting this happen.
"If it wasn't for our stupid argument, this wouldn't have happened! Oh, Jax, I'm so sorry!"
"Heh, don't be… It was me being such a dumb ass… Ugh, to think I would go down to a damn gun wound…? It kind of sucks, don't you think?"
"Please, don't talk anymore, brother," Sonja sniffled tears.
"Excuse me," a voice of a man called out.
Sonja looked across to find a man wearing a trench coat approaching them. She quickly held her brother closer and remained protective.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want?" Sonja demanded.
"If you wish to save your brother, then I can be of assistance."
"What do you know about fixing my brother? You don't look like any licensed medical person."
"I can treat your brother much better than any medical facility in this city. If you wish to save your brother, then you can come with me. I'd like to make my services useful."
"I… I don't know…" Sonja said as she looked over to find Star talking on the phone for help and turned towards the man. "Are you certain you can save my brother?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I can make him good as new for you, my dear child," the man replied as he held out his right hand. "I give you my word."
"All right, but I'll take your word for it," Sonja said with hesitation while holding her brother up. "Hang in there, Jax. We're going to get you some help."
"Yes, that's right. You children are just as naïve as I hoped," the trench coat man thought as his eyes lay on the siblings. "You're just the tools I need to end the Digi-Destined! You children will bring me glory!"
"Can we get going? My brother is not going to make it at this rate!" Sonja demanded. "Here, please give me a hand."
"Yes, we must make this hasty!" the man nodded and helped Sonja carry Jax out through the backdoor.
As the man and Sonja exited through the backdoor with Jax, Star returned back to inform Sonja but she looked around to find no sight of them. She looked around through the crowds.
"Hey, do you know where those guys went? They were just here a minute ago," Star asked a boy.
"I just saw them leave with some guy in a black trench coat through the backdoor," the boy pointed out. "You might catch up with them there."
"Ok, thanks," Star replied as she ran back towards the backdoor. "Sonja! I just called the hospital and they'll be here with a team! Sonja! Hey!"
Just as she pushed through the backdoor, she stopped and found no traces of the girl in the alleyway. Star searched the alley in hopes of finding Sonja.
"Sonja! Hey! I just called for a team to get here! Your brother will be picked up! Hey! Where did you go? Sonja!" Star called out.
…
However, unbeknownst to Star, the trench coat man was found hanging from a pole with one hand. Under his right arm, he held the unconscious forms of the siblings. Once he had helped Sonja carrying her brother out, he drugged her up by injecting a needle filled with sleeping serum. This immediately knocked the girl right out and allowed the man to carry both siblings. The man chuckled to himself as he looked down and was amused with Star's search for her friend.
"Sonja!"
"Yes, keep calling out for your beloved friend, dear. You will never see her again. However, in case you do, she'll never be the same friend you once knew. Sonja will become an entirely different person when I'm through with her… Ha. Ha. Ha."
Looking down, Sonja's dazed eyes caught glimpse of Star. Her vision was quickly becoming blurry and was prepared to drown into a deep sleep.
"Star…" was all Sonja could say as her eyes closed.
Then, there was nothing but pitch darkness. Sonja would not remember much after this. …
Flashback/August 2, 2003/3:05 PM
There was a slight blur from the vision of an individual. At least three and a half days have passed since that night. Sonja had opened her eyes but she found herself inside a cold, steel room exterior. Then, she felt chills around her body. It was cold but she wondered why. Then, it became apparent.
She was completely naked. All of her clothes were stripped off and leaving her in the nude. However, as she tried moving her body, there was an excruciating pain jolting through her body. Sonja screamed out. There were IV units stuck through parts of her body, including some to her head, across her back and limbs. Every time she even moved and jolts of electrical surges electrocuted her.
Watching with great pleasure from behind a glass window was Datamon. The sinister robot chuckled at the sight of Sonja's torture.
"Yes, my dear, it's good to see that you're finally awake."
"Where… Where am I…?" Sonja wondered as she looked around her surroundings.
"Ah, a very good question, welcome to my laboratory, dear child. I am the mastermind, Datamon, and today will be your lucky day."
"Lucky day…? What…?"
"You and your brother have been chosen to become my latest test subjects for my artificial human project. If everything goes according to plan, you two will be my greatest weapons constructed. You will help me crush the Digi-Destined and wreck havoc across the two worlds! You two will help me carry out my revenge!"
"…Please, let us go… Why us?"
"Why? Quite frankly you two deserve a new and better life. Tell me, how do you feel about obtaining immortality?"
"…Immortality?"
"That's right. As of now, your humanity will be stripped away and you will be converted into an android."
"Android…?"
"That's right, my dear. Your brother now has become converted into an android."
"What..? My brother!"
"He's doing just fine, Sonja my dear. He's resting right now and you need not to worry."
"NO! LET ME SEE MY BROTHER!" Sonja screamed out.
"In due time, my dear, now it is your turn!" Datamon bellowed out in laughter. "Now, accept your conversion and become a subordinate serving for my cause! Get revenge on humanity! It's humanity that nearly took your brother's life! Hate them with all of your heart!"
As Datamon continued laughing on from the background, Sonja's eyes glared directly at the psychotic madman. She finally figured out that Datamon was the guy who was under disguise in the trench coat. He had used her and Jax simply as one of his tools in his latest experiments. Her eyes did not leave Datamon as volts of high-level electricity jolted across her body. However, that didn't even seem to bother her anymore. All she cared for was getting her hands on Datamon and crushing the little coward with her bare hands. In due time, she would possess superhuman strength and an unlimited energy supply, which would allow her and Jax to do anything they want.
Oh yes, Datamon had just signed his own death warrant. The siblings would see to it that they laugh last.
A smile crossed the girl's face as the thought of getting revenge on those who have physically and mentally hurt her would pain dearly. Those notable include her own abusive bastard of a father and Datamon, the despicable son of a bitch.
But, she couldn't help to remember the kindness from the girl named Star. She may never even get a chance to see her again.
"Datamon… You're going to pay for everything you've taken from me… You and father are going to hell together…"
…
Revenge was all that crossed her mind and it would be bitter sweet.
…
Datamon's Laboratory/7:15 PM
Inside the capsules, the eyes of the artificial siblings opened up by themselves and their eyes emitted an unearthly, red glow. The time was close at hand. In just four and a half months time, they would be unleashed on both Earth and the Digital World. The two worlds would become their largest playground and nothing would stop them. Both humans and digimon alike would witness a path of destruction like none other.
Jax and Sonja, the two vengeful siblings, would make everyone feel their pain. Even Datamon is not safe from the siblings and would experience an even greater fear than death itself. The machine pair shall rise and unleash an apocalyptic force no one will ever forget, nor forgive.
May God, and for that matter Goddramon, have mercy on everyone's souls.
Earth/Odaiba Memorial Hospital/8:25 PM
Meanwhile, that same night, the Digi-Destined were all waiting outside the door where Tai was currently resting in place. Out of the Digi-Destined, only Sora and Kari were permitted to come inside. Davis, Ken, Izzy, Yolei, Michael, Cody, Joe, TK, Matt and even Mimi were standing around outside. The boys were hoping for the best while the two ladies were shedding some tears.
Matt was seen standing against the wall with a frown on his face. Just the thought of Tai dying made his blood boil yet he felt terrible for the young man undergoing this painful experience.
"Tai, you're going to make this through. You and Agumon are not going to let some damn virus take you away from this world. We… still have a settle to score… Don't you die on me now!"
Mimi took notice of Matt's grumbling and sat up from her chair. She couldn't help but become concerned with him as he has been cursing and mentioning Tai's name for the past hour. If there was one thing Mimi hated to see, it was other people showing sadness and not smiling.
"Mimi, where are you going?" Michael asked her.
"I'm going to go over and chat with Matt a bit, ok? Just give me a minute or so," Mimi said while marching towards Matt.
Matt turned the other corner and noticed Mimi approaching him. He remained still and crossed his arms.
"Hi, Matt, how are you doing?"
"Not well considering that Tai's dying," Matt responded. "And you?"
"I'm just hoping for the best. We all want Tai to pull through. I just never thought anyone this young can catch a heart disease."
"Anybody can get it, but why do I have this feeling this virus did not come naturally?"
"What do you mean, Matt?"
"I mean what if something happened to him? Gatomon did mention about a virus from the Digital World that would normally kill a human. Tai must have come into contact with it."
"You think that's a possibility?"
"I don't know. I wish I knew though to be honest," Matt sighed.
Mimi's face saddened as she placed a hand on Matt's right shoulder. The boy did not even acknowledge her for a moment until he felt something warm light up inside. He turned around and faced Mimi. The girl felt that same warmth within and slightly blushed. Matt and Mimi meet eye contact with one another as if reading each other's thoughts. They somehow understood each other as it pertains to Tai.
"Matt…"
"Um, Mimi…? What's that look for?"
"Huh? You were just looking at me. Don't I have a right to stare back?"
"Well… I can't argue with that…"
As Matt slightly turned away, Mimi tilted her head to one side and examined the boy for a moment. She has to admit. While he is a friend, she can't help but find Matt an attractive young man. But what were the chances of her pairing up with Matt? Perhaps slim to none at this moment.
"Mimi, don't you worry about Matt," TK assured her. "He sometimes would rather be alone. You understand, right?"
"I suppose, but I can't stand people moping. He'd feel much better if Tai had pulled through this."
"I can't blame him. We all want Tai to pull through out of this. If only they had come out with some news by now."
Before long, the door opened to release Kari and Sora. They heads were lowered with tears swelling up in their eyes. The other Digi-Destined all sat up and approached the duo. They did not even say a single word and kept to themselves until Davis broke up the silence.
"Well, what happened? How's Tai going to pull through?" Davis asked until he noticed Kari giving him a silent treatment and gasped. "No… You don't meant to tell me…"
Sora and Kari faced their friends with eyes filled with tears. What they had feared most had now come true.
"And Agumon…?" TK asked. "You don't mean…"
"Tai… Agumon…" Kari whispered to herself. "They're… They're gone…"
As soon as she revealed this, the entire Digi-Destined team gasped out in horror. It had finally happened. After many hours of suffering and enduring the most excruciating pain, Taichi "Tai" Kamiya had died. The leader of the legendary Digi-Destined had met his end. Datamon's first step in destroying the Digi-Destined has finally come. Now, phase two was underway: in the following months, the androids would unleash an apocalypse that would change the future forever.
The Digi-Destined mourned over his loss. The boys lowered their heads as the ladies cried. Kari buried her face against Sora and cried uncontrollably for the loss of her beloved brother. This all happened so suddenly yet quickly. Even Matt was heartbroken as he muttered the name of his rival.
"Taichi… No…"
Tai Kamiya has died. The Digi-Destined are now in high emotion over the loss of their leader. Datamon's first course of action is now complete. The D-Virus had done its trick. Mourning the loss of their loved one, the Digi-Destined are unprepared for the threat to come in nearly four and a half months time. The two artificials, with possibly a third in the works, will be unleashed to wreck havoc on the two worlds. On the other hand, the two artificial siblings seem to have their own agenda as they begin orchestrating their own plan during their long sleep. Four and a half months left in counting…
(PREVIEW)
Max: Hi, everyone, I know I am normally in high spirits but not today. My dad is gone from this alternate future. My father is given a proper burial to be laid to rest forever and Agumon's data scatters into the Digital World as his heroic deeds will never be forgotten.
Keke: Mimi comes by to visit Matt as they share one romantic night together. When I mean romantic, I don't mean flowers and chocolate either. Their love eventually will lead to the birth of earth's last hope.
Matt: One night after the two share their moment, the androids attack! The Digi-Destined unite together to stop the menace! However, their digimon simply cannot match the vicious ferocity and power of these artificials. Just who was this third artificial that bailed out on the fight? Well, at least they only have to deal with two. But these two are easily tearing through the Digi-Destined ranks! It's unholy hell out there!
Keke: Armageddon was arrived for the two worlds as Jax and Sonja unleash their rage on the humans they have come to despise! The next segment to A Future from Hell is entitled…
-
-
Matt and Mimi's First Night Together! The Rise of the Machines!
-
Max: You don't want to miss out on this! A new hope will soon be born!
Well, that's end of segment two and I must I'm impressed by how long I've written it. I hope you guys enjoyed the flashback to Jax and Sonja's memories. There will be plenty of those flashbacks in the later chapters, including more coverage of the in depth conversion of the two siblings.
Now, I'm really pushing the envelope as far as colorful language is concerned. Now, I've just introduced drugs and realistic violence. The death of the Digi-Destined will be even more gruesome in the next following chapters.
Really, despite all the controversy, I hope this is story you've come to enjoy. There's still more where that came from. The content and violence will only get more graphic from here.
Interestingly enough, this is the second time this year I've killed Tai off. First by Saitou earlier this year and now by the D-Virus. Who would ever thought I'd have the guts to kill off the main guy? ;)
Well, that's all for today. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up but I will continue with this story. Until then, peace!
