Digimon After 3
Authors note: Hope I didn't leave you in a cliffhanger too long. Thanks to you (the reviewer/reader) for making my day. I feel like updating now, so I guess you want me to continue, with a read and review I'll feel like writing more. Here's chapter 3.
CH.3: Digimon Disorder
As the stampeding sounds ceased the three humans began to let out some air (which they never knew they were holding). Joe gave the youngster a stern look while Koromon and Bakumon talked in their noisy voices. "Jason why did you run away? And why did you choose the Digital world of all-?"
"Hey keep your top on…Joe, at least until I tell you what happened," Jason said giving the parent a scared look. He heard a lot about Joe, and frankly he wasn't the one to turn to when bleeding. But he was a reliable friend, so Jason knew he could keep some of what transpired a secret. "My mom left my dad-."
"Whoa dude that hurts," Jim said before getting a glare from his dad, "anyhow…please continue," he said.
"Apparently they have been struggling to keep the marriage together…for me. But mom became jealous when Sora and Tai-."
"Wait…did you say Sora and Tai?" Jason rubbed his temple and for a kid his age he seemed to have the patience of a teenager. "Oh, sorry…guess…don't mind me."
"Before I continue," Jason made sure he said this clearly, "do you mind telling me about Sora and my dad? You know…just to clear up my dad's loose end stories so I can understand in depth why my mom left." Joe sighed and removed his glasses.
"Well I guess I might as well start in summer camp. Your dad was 11 and quiet adventurous. I tended to stay indoor (you know because of the many infectious bugs). Anyway Tai wouldn't admit it, but the girl Sora, he sort of liked."
"I met her a few times," Jason added, "she used to play soccer with my dad. That is until he became a Diplomat-."
"Yeah, Tai never could be tied down in one place. In the Digital world he always pushed forward, never the one to question what lies ahead. Matt Ishida was Tai's best friend, and rival when it came to girls. You may know his and Sora's kids."
"Oh…you mean Jasmine and Neil? Jasmine likes to play tennis, boy that ball hurts," both Jim and Joe smiled and Jason a little after. "Neil however is moody; he keeps to himself…a lot."
"He takes after Matt," Joe said rubbing his sore eyes, his son Jim was over near Koromon and Bukamon. "Matt was the loner of the group, and someone to rebel to get his way. Yet when the team needed him there…he met them halfway."
"I guess that formed a triangle," Jason formed the shape and Joe nodded. A competition for affection, Jason thought with slow understanding, but what about the scissor to end it?
"After our Digital trip ended we all relaxed, not me, I had a lot of school work," Joe grinned remembering his feverish attempt to finish a long delayed test. "The next part I gathered from the other DigiDestined, but I'll tell it in a way you understand. Tai was…well in some terms barely going out with Sora. A comment of her hair caused the two to not speak each other."
"Girls and hair…what's next ice cream and sprinkles?" Jason gave Jim a blank look to which Joe laughed nervously and tugged at his watch.
"I don't let Jim eat sprinkles on ice cream," Jason was on the verge of laughing and Joe turned serious, "he could choke on them, besides doesn't Tai keep you away from skateboarding?"
"Ah…yeah," Jason coughed and looked at the floor. His father would allow him to play to soccer, but when it came to skateboarding, his father drew the line. He even restricted a solo trip to the Digital world.
"Kari, Tai's younger sister, sent an e-mail with the l.o.v.e. on it and after the Digital crisis online the two made up. In High School Tai and Sora split up because they couldn't find the time to talk. Matt took an interest in Sora and the two dated, eventually wedding bells were heard. Your father married someone he met in college."
"In a way it makes sense," Jason crossed his legs and sat in Indian fashion, "both started out as friends, then as a couple, then as ex's, followed by stubborn lovers in the end."
"It sounds about right…hey I think they're gone," Joe got up and peeped his head out of the Digital tree, close was clear. Walking into the clearing he brushed his pants off and gave his son a pat on the head.
"Hey leave us alone!" The scream of a man was heard and Jason's hearing heightened detecting the area where the familiar voice came from.
"You go on ahead Joe, I'll handle this," Jason gave Joe a grin before heading back into the forest.
"That sounded like Tai," Joe said with concern, "well Jim maybe we should-." Joe turned around and noticed Jim and Bukamon had followed in Jason's steps. "Jim-!"
"Tai…I'm exhausted," Agumon fired off his pepper breath but to no avail as Flymon avoided it. Tai was about to have Agumon Digivolve but the Flymon intercepted his plans.
"Not so fast Digipunk; care to taste my brown stingers?" The Flymon sent out its attack piercing Agumon and sending Tai face down in the dirt. "You seem familiar…did I-?"
"Hey bug brain leave my dad alone!" Jason threw a rock and hit the Flymon in the head. Koromon leaped into the air and did his attack bubble blow to sting Flymon.
"Nice…very nice; but as you see kid I'm a champion, and unlike your little pink pillow of a friend who is only still in training. Time to end this!" Flymon was about to attack, but another set of air bubbles halted him.
"Sorry we're late but Joe had to fix a cut on Jim's knee," Bukamon apologized. Flymon sized his opponents and grinned maliciously.
"Don't make me laugh, haven't you ever heard that babies like you can't defeat champions like me? Only champions can defeat-."
"Well…in our current situation we might not be champions. But wait till we're rookies." Koromon said bravely. Bukamon nodded and the two hopped over to Jim and Jason.
"Ok guys, this is what we call Digivoling. It is a process where your Digimon goes from their lowest form to their highest. Hold out your Digivices," Joe instructed, the boys did so, both unsure of what to do next. "Now the rest is up to your Digimon."
"Alright Koromon, show that fly who's boss!" Jason held his orange Digivice firmly in his hands and in a bright orange light Koromon Digivolved into Agumon.
"Bukamon…give it your best…and if possible come back," Jim said holding out his blue Digivice. The device reacted and in a blue wave of light Bukamon became his rookie level Gomamon.
"Rookies…ha…is that the best you can do?" Agumon shot off pepper breath and Gomamon did a tail slap, both attacks were useless against the agile Flymon.
"It's too early-." Everyone turned to see Tai slowly recovering and saw scratches and cuts lining his face. His brown eyes burned with great courage. "Aguomon… are you ready?"
'Y-Yeah," Agumon replied as he rose to his feet weakly. Holding out his Digivice Tai watched as his friend was swallowed into a Digital gate, the transformation stunned Jason and Jim (seeing how they never saw Greymon).
"Alright bud…one more battle to go," Tai felt his knees buckle and with a loss of consciousness hit the forest floor. Greymon eyed his aerial opponent and let out a roar.
"Hey pest care to smell my breath?" Greymon grinned as Flymon tried to escape, but when he shot his nova blast, he disappered. "Tai we did…Tai?" Greymon rushed over to his friend and saw no movement.
"Ok everyone stand back," everyone was so Joe pressed on, "what Tai has is normal exhaustion, that and some of those needles could be poisonous. We have to get him to the hospital!"
"Dad…wake up," Jason was kneeling beside his father shaking his cold body, but it had no effect. "I'm sorry dad…I promise I'll listen to you from now on-."
"Joe get Tai out of here," Greymon ordered with no argument Joe carried Tai out of there.
"It's ok Jason, I'm sure your dad will be ok," Agumon said. Jason sniffled a little but all in all he seemed ok, for the moment. Jim and Gomamon were looking in the water when a roar scared them sending them into the depths of the water.
"Don't look now…but the woods have gotten smaller," Greymon said. Jason got up and saw the Triceramon from earlier had them surrounded.
"Tai…you need to lessen the fatty foods," Joe was carrying Tai through the forest and every pause meant Tai was one step closer to eternal slumber. "This can not end well."
