WARNING Chapter three.
Disclaimer: I don't own me. JESUS DOES! Lol… but this story isn't about me so… I don't own digimon, bummer. But I do own EVERYONE ELSE that I am writing about.
Brace yourselves guys… this is an intense chapter…
…
Takuya stared at the television. Even though he had believed Kouji the day before, it was still mind-boggling that his best friend was now the emperor's son!
"Can you believe it?" his mother exclaimed. "Finally the emperor comes out of hiding and so does his family."
"Yeah, and one of them is my best friend!" he mumbled. He was a little annoyed to be at home, especially since his mother was now acting a lot more strange, but he figured he'd have to live with it anyway. Never the less, he was still surprised that Kouji hadn't freaked out about his newfound truth about being a dragon.
"I guess that's the nice thing about best friends." He sighed. Still, even though Kouji was reunited with his real family, he was still depressed. "Am I ever even going to see him again?"
"Hey, isn't that Kouji?" Shinya, Takuya's little brother, exclaimed as he hopped onto the couch next to him. He was now about fourteen years old and looking much like his older brother. Shinya was a bit of a nuisance sometimes, but he was tolerated.
"Yep."
"The emperor's son?" his eyes went wide.
"Yep…"
"Wow… I know the emperor's son!" he grinned.
The television report went out all around the world. Live interviews hadn't yet taken place with the emperor or his children, but pictures of Kouji, Kouichi, their mother, and their sister were posted almost every second on the television. This was huge.
…
Matt slowly opened his eyes. He was feeling lazy, and he didn't want to get up off his comfortable couch, but he did anyway. Something wasn't right.
"TK?" he lazily called out. There was no reply. "…TK?" he called louder. Matt stood up and stretched.
"Don't move." A man's voice demanded behind him. Matt froze and his heart began to pound. The man behind him chuckled and slowly walked over to Matt.
"Where is my brother?" Matt scowled.
"Who, that?" the man turned Matt around by the shoulder and pointed at TK who was lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
"TK!" he screamed and almost ran to kneel down beside him but the man pointed a gun at his head. Matt's heart filled with rage and tears poured down his cheeks.
"Too late." The man scowled. "He's dead."
"No!" he screamed. "Please, no!" he stared at the gun pointing at his head.
"And you are about to die yourself, any last words?" he grinned. Out of complete rage, Matt quickly hit the gun away from the man's hand and started punching him. His fighting was very poor because the picture of his brother lying dead on the ground was filled in his head. The criminal got free, ran over to his gun and shot matt in the heart.
…
Henry heard gunshots in his neighbor's house, called the police, and then ran over to see what was going on. Regularly he knew it wouldn't be a good idea to run into a crime scene, but something was telling him he had to be there. Lately, there was something different about him! Every time he walked down the road, flowers would bloom left and right as he passed, and every little kid he passed by would smile or run to him as if he was the candy man, or Santa clause! It was like there was something special about him. He ran over to the house and watched through the window as a man fired a gun right into the heart of his neighbor. Henry's heart nearly stopped. He suddenly started feeling agony in his heart and rushed into the house. Not knowing what he was doing, Henry used a martial arts roundhouse kick to the head and knocked him out. Then, looking to his neighbor, Matt, who was lying on the floor in tears, he ran and kneeled next to him.
"Tk…" was the only word that Henry managed to hear through Matt's bawling. Henry knew he was going to die.
"Please…" Matt suddenly turned to Henry and looked at him in the eyes. "Call Joe."
"Joe?" Henry thought for a moment and then remembered that his own doctor's name was Joe. Perhaps he was thinking of the same one! Thankfully, he was, and Henry quickly grabbed the phone and called up Joe who happened to be one of Matt's best friends and a very skilled doctor. After he hung up the phone, Henry looked at Matt as he started to fade. There was certain sadness to his face that made Henry's heart start breaking. Suddenly, he felt a surge of power and he put his hands on Matt's head. It was then when Henry suddenly realized something about himself. No one told him, and he had no hint, but he knew in his heart that he was, in fact, a fairy. As he took his hands away from Matt's head, he held a glowing ball of blue. It was heavy, and it nearly drained all the life out of him to hold it, but he knew it was crucial. Staring at Matt's body, he realized that it was empty and without life. It was breathing, and the heart was beating, but it was empty. He realized that Matt's conscious mind was in his hands… literally.
Joe then ran in the room and actually burst into tears once seeing that Matt and TK were the victims. He tore out his doctor bad and started working on reviving Matt. Joe stopped and stared at Henry. "Where is he?" he demanded. Henry held up his hands and showed Joe. Joe was speechless. After several moments he said, "I can revive his body, but if you return his consciousness back into it, he will give up and die.
"I can't hold onto it for much longer." Henry groaned. "It hurt's too much… It takes too much." Joe wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but he nodded his head. Taking out his D3, he called Ophanimon. This caught Henry by great surprise.
"Ophanimon, I need your help." Joe told her the entire story, and it did take her a long time to respond once hearing that TK had died, but then she told him with confidence that she would have the legendary warriors make a digibody for Matt.
Henry and Joe sat in the room for several hours. Henry strived each minute to hold onto Matt, but it was so hard and it was draining all the magic out of him. The only thing keeping him alive was the will to hold onto Matt. Joe worked on keeping Matt's body alive. Soon, Joe got a call from Ophanimon who told him that the legendary warriors proudly made him a body.
Murcuremon happily donated the toughest metal as a shell for the machine body. It was pretty much a robot, a cyborg, machine, whatever you want to call it. The outside metal was near indestructible and it was in the perfect likeness and color of Matt himself. It had the similar likeness of a digimon on the outside so his features looked quite human and even his hair was soft and real. Grumblemon donated immense strength to the robot, Ranamon made it water proof, Lobomon and Lowemon made him able to see in both complete darkness and unbarring light, Agunimon made him fire proof, and all the others put in their own random contributions. The robot had many attack capabilities from all of the warriors, and soon, it was ready. They sent it through a portal to where Joe was and Henry immediately threw Matt's mind into the robot. Both Henry and the brand new Yamato collapsed on the ground. Henry fainted out of lack of energy (in other words, magic) and Matt collapsed in complete shock of his new body.
It was almost like waking up from sleep for Matt as he raised his head. It did not take long for Matt to realize what had happened and start crying as soon as he saw his brother and well… himself! Joe took a few moments to explain to Matt that he was in a robot body, and that if he couldn't revive his real self, he might have to live in it… forever. It didn't take too long for Matt t to realize that his new body was, in fact, human enough to cry. His 'skin' did have feeling, (except pain) but he still felt pain in his heart, deep inside… wherever it was. It was clearly the worst day of his life.
…
Kouji slowly walked down the long wide hall. He felt like he was in a castle… in fact, he was in a castle! It was the emperor's palace. The great hall seemed like it went on forever. Large marble pillars held up the roof that was amazingly tall itself. In any normal case, Kouji would have been in complete awe and fascination of the place, but today was a totally different kind of day. There were about five securities walking behind him, one butler in front leading the way, and probable dozens more hiding in the background. The so called 'butler' in front of him seemed a lot more important than a butler because he was frequently giving orders to other security guards and talking into the small microphone on his suit. Kouji was particularly curious in his butler and decided he'd soon find out about him.
The butler led Kouji down the hall to a very large double door. He put his hands on the two doors and with a swift movement shoved them open.
"Your highness." He stopped at the door, got down on his knees and bowed. The emperor was sitting at the other end of the throne room waiting. The butler then got up, led Kouji another several yards, then got down and bowed again. He did this one more time and then led Kouji right up to the emperor who stood up with surprising excitement. Kouji was quivering. Not only was he himself standing before the emperor, but he was standing before his birth father.
"…Kouji?" his voice was soft but intent. Kouji stared at his face. He looked… kind. There was a certain air to him that made Kouji's blood run faster. He started to become excited about meeting his father, and a small smile appeared on his face. He was about to answer with "your Highness" but he was interrupted by the emperor who repeated in a joyous shout, "Kouji!" He then ran to Kouji and hugged him. Even though it was almost a bit awkward, Kouji hugged him back. Tears ran down the emperor's face as he kissed Kouji's head.
"My son," he looked at him as he held his shoulders. "You have grown so much."
Kouji smiled. "Come with me." He put his hand on his back and led him out a side door next to the throne and then down a hallway. "I have someone to show you."
"Kouichi!" Kouji called once seeing his brother and ran down the rest of the hallway to hug him.
"Kouji! Can you believe it?" Kouichi smiled with all his pearly teeth showing.
"No, no I Can't." He laughed. The emperor just looked at them and smiled.
"My family is finally reunited." He beamed. Kouji looked up quickly at the emperor with a questioning face. He was about to ask about his sister but the emperor held up his hand with a grin and looked up down the hallway. Kouji followed his father's gaze and slowly turned around to look down the hall.
Down at the end stood a girl. She looked around the age of 15 and there was a sweet smile upon her face. She had long black hair that trailed along beside her in large ringlets and she wore a bright and colorful summery dress. Kouji gaped. Is that my sister?
Kouichi smiled and nudged Kouji. "That's Shakita."
"Shakita." Kouji whispered her name and smiled. Shakita, with excitement of meeting her older brother, ran down the hallway and threw her arms around him with a loud laugh.
"Kouji, Kouji!" she hugged him tightly. "I have waited so long to meet you!"
"You've known about me?" Kouji looked at her in the face. She was beautiful.
"Yes, my whole life!"
"How?" Kouji was still awfully confused.
"I have lived with my father all these years." She turned and smiled at her father, the emperor. "We got monthly updates and pictures of you from our uncle."
"Really?" Kouji scratched his head. "Wow." Just when it was almost too much excitement to hold in, one more person entered the room. Kouji knew exactly who it was and could barely contain himself. "Mom…" tears entered his eyes as he ran to her and hugged her. She burst into tears and hugged him back.
It was a tearful reunion, and for the first time in 15 years, the entire family was all together again.
The butler took out a camera and proposed a family picture. All five of them posed together and you could never see a more perfectly happy family.
"Thank you, Cube." The emperor moved and patted the butler on the shoulder. This surprised Kouji greatly after seeing the butler treat the emperor with so much respect in the throne room. "Kouji, I have not yet introduced you to one of my best friends, Cube." The butler smiled and bowed low to Kouji.
"Wait, I thought that Shakita stayed with a friend of yours, dad." He crossed his arms.
"I took care of her highness." Cube bowed once more. (Kouji actually didn't mind people bowing to him all the time.)
"I see…" Kouji raised an eyebrow. "But I thought…"
"I've been here at the palace." Shakita interrupted. Kouji turned to look at her. "Cube has been kind of like my guardian because since the threat on our family, I have not been able to spend much time with my father."
"But we can now?" Kouji directed his question more so towards his father.
"Yes." He smiled. "Yes we can."
"Now children," the emperor got on a more serious note. "Just because you are royal doesn't mean you don't answer to everyone. I don't want you becoming irresponsible." Kouji and Kouichi nodded. "You all are to answer to Cube as well as your mother and I."
"Anyone else?" Kouji asked. "No." the emperor snuck in a grin. "You are to answer to no one else.
"Wow!" Kouji grinned at Kouichi and nudged him. Shakita laughed and put her arms around Kouji and Kouichi's necks.
"I'm so excited to finally be together." She rubbed their hair.
"Me too…" Kouji whispered to himself. "Me too."
…
Izzy could barely hold himself he was running so fast down the hill. He wanted to get to Tai's house as son as possible because he could barely wait to tell him the news.
"Tai! Tai!" He burst open the door as if it were his own home. To his surprise, Tai didn't move an inch. He didn't even turn to look at him. "…Tai? Are you ok?" he slowly walked over to him, still breathing hard from the long run. Tai slowly turned his head and looked at Izzy in the eyes. His face was white and completely wet with tears.
"Tai…" Izzy's face went pale. "What happened?"
Tai sniffed and wiped his face. "It's Matt… and Tk…" he started crying again once saying their names.
"What?" Izzy quickly went and sat next to Tai and put his arm around him.
"They… TK…" he looked up again and stared at Izzy in the eyes. "TK's dead."
Izzy refused to believe what he just heard. Before he could say much more, Davis burst into the house and ran up the stairs. Izzy looked up and could hear Kari bawling once Davis opened her door. He could barely hear Davis quietly comforting her before the door was once again closed.
"Tai…" Izzy tried to speak. He knew he needed to talk to him, but this was such a horrible time!
"Not now, Izzy." Tai frowned. "Leave me alone." Tai got up and walked out of the room leaving Izzy sitting alone on the couch. How could so many horrible things happen in one day?
…
"Kazu, Kazu! Wake up!" Kenta shook his friend violently.
"What, huh?" Kazu stirred. "What time is it?" he groaned.
"Don't you realize? You have been out for 34 hours?" Kenta slapped him on the back harshly.
"Hey! Calm down!" Kazu sat up and rubbed his eyes. Once seeing that he was in the laboratory's bed, he turned and glared at Sazaki whom he knew had pumped him with something.
"I'm going to be in so much trouble." Kenta shook his head.
"Why?" Kazu stood up and calmly patted his shoulder. He was always the optimistic one of the two.
"Cause I have been here with you to see if you are ok for 24 hours." He sighed and sat down with his head in his hands.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Kazu laughed. "Whatever Sazaki did, I'm fine."
"Maybe, but I still have been gone away from the family for 24 hours, and I'm sure the place is a mad house."
"Oh…" Kazu gulped. "Well, don't you think your sisters can go without you for one day?"
Kenta looked up at Kazu doubtfully.
"Yeah… Okay, you better get home." Kazu helped Kenta up and they walked out of the room and into the lobby. Kazu completely ignored his scientist friends and didn't want a word about what had happened to him.
"Bye Rose!" Kazu smiled at the quiet young secretary as they passed her.
"Good bye, Kazu." She nodded.
The two boys got into Kenta's car… more like… minivan, and Kenta started driving towards his house. Kazu sat in the front seat and looked behind him at the several car seats in the back.
"How many sisters do you have now?" he gulped.
"29"
"How do you keep count? How do you live?" Kazu shook his head. "How on earth did you get 29 sisters? And no brothers?"
Kenta shrugged. "Don't ask me why my mom gives birth every year with triplets!"
"Yeah…" Kazu gulped. "Do you mind dropping me off at home before you go to your house?"
"No, that's fine." Kenta forced a smile.
"Wow, you always know who your true friends are." Kazu ruffled Kenta's hair.
Kazu and Kenta had both changed since their childhood. Kazu had, obviously, become a scientist apprentice with Ikeda. He had one sister now, and she was a complete brat, so he stayed away from home as much as possible. He loved his science life, even though he had to hang around people like Sazaki.
Kenta, on the other hand, hand a ton more changes. Even before his digital world experience, he had had lots of sisters… he just never talked about it. His mother was giving birth left and right to girls, girls, girls, as Kenta waited patiently for a brother. So far, none had come, and all he could do was hope! He had become a lot more responsible and grown up because every day he babysat, went grocery shopping, or took care of his pregnant mother. When he wasn't doing that, he was either at work, or rescuing his still best friend Kazu from his crazy scientist friend Sazaki. He worked in construction, so he had gotten a lot stronger and had finally developed a muscular figure. Not only that, but he had actually grown to be not a bad looking young man. Sad thing was, he never had time for anything like a girl friend because his family was in such dire need of his help.
What the two boys didn't know, was that they were both about to take part in something they would never have imagined could ever happened. Well… Kazu might… because he had a crazy imagination…
…
Wow, you guys have no idea how much I have planned! Sorry for the sad part in the chapter! You'll just have to live without TK. I HAVE SOO MUCH PLANNED! And I am going crazy cause I cant just write out the plans that I have for this story. It is going to be sooo cool!
PLEASE REVIEW!
