World Travellers Reunited…
Chapter 7: Tai Kamiya's D-Crest.
Odaiba – Streets of Odaiba.
'Stupid Tai… Where is he? Maybe Matt knows…'
A girl walked the streets of Odaiba at a slow, comfortable pace, looking for the none other than the original gogglehead, Tai Kamiya. The yellow button up shirt she wore and her shoulder length orange hair dancing with the wind as she walked to find the wild haired boy. She sighed, sliding her hands into the pockets of her jeans as she stopped at the corner of the street. She looked right and saw nothing, when she looked left however, she saw a familiar sight.
Kari Kamiya, Tai's younger sister, was approaching her with a worried look on her face. "Hey Kari, what wrong?" She asked concerned for the girl who she liked to treat as a sister.
"Hey Sora," The brown haired girl greeted. "I'm worried about Tai. Mum and I haven't seen or heard from him in two days. He said something about going to Ken's with Davis before he left so that's where I'm heading." She explained
"Yeah, they were planning a get together, I went to Ken's and his mother said he went camping. Tai and Davis had shown up there though." Sora replied, seeing the glum look on Kari's face Sora decided to go with Kari to see if they could find him. "I was just going to Matt's to see if he knew where they were. Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure," Kari replied, a smile returning to her face once again. "Do you think that they might've gone with Ken?" She suggested as the two girls walked across the road after checking no cars were coming towards them.
"They would've told someone if they had gone with Ken. And I think Ken might've wanted to get away from Davis for a little bit." Sora chuckled.
"Seems like Davis is stuck in a bro-mance." Kari said as both girls erupted into laughter, rounding a street corner and seeing an apartment complex. A boy around Kari's age was walking towards the apartment complex from the other direction. His messy blonde hair was covered by a white bucket hat with an orange hamster with bat-like wings on top.
"TK!" Kari called out, the boy looking up from the ground and noticing the two girls.
"Oh, hey guys." He greeted.
"Where are Gatomon and Biyomon?" The orange hamster asked.
"Biyomon is shopping with my mother." Sora said smiling.
"Gatomon is at home sleeping probably…" Kari said. "Where were you off to TK?"
"I was on my way to Matt and Dad's why?" He replied.
"Well we were looking for Tai and Davis. No one I've asked has seen them in two days at the least." Sora said glumly.
"So you came to see if Matt knew?" TK asked, holding the apartment lobby door open for the two girls.
"Yeah," Sora replied as the three of them made their way to the stairs, proceeding up them one at a time.
"Why are you coming to see Matt and your dad for?" Kari questioned.
"I told Matt that I was going to visit him today to catch up. We were going to walk around Odaiba until Dad got home." He replied with a grin.
"Seems like you two are going to have fun, we won't take too long." Sora promised.
"No, no, it's fine. I'm curious as to where they are too. Let's hope Matt has seen them." TK replied. "Here we are; apartment number eight." TK grinned, bending down and lifting up the mat to pick up the spare key. He placed the silver key into the lock and turned it, satisfied upon hearing the clunk. After putting the key back he opened the door and let the girls walk in first.
"Such a gentleman, TK…" Kari giggled, TK blushing as he followed them inside.
"Matt!" He called out. "He's probably asleep…" He sighed after hearing no reply. "His room is this way I think." TK muttered to himself.
"He's not here!" Patamon exclaimed, looking around Matt's room and finding his bed sheets ruffled and his notepad on the floor.
"His room may be messy, but it's still cleaner than Tai's…" Kari mumbled.
"Where could he have gone?" Sora asked.
"I have no idea. Oh what's this?" TK asked, picking up a hastily written note from the desk.
TK,
I know I promised to hang out with you today but Tai, Davis and Ken are stuck in another dimension. They're in a lot of trouble, I'll try to come back as soon as possible so we can re-schedule.
Matt.
"I think I found out where Tai, Davis and Matt are…" TK said.
"What? Where are they?" Kari asked frantically.
"They're with Ken." He replied.
"Why didn't they tell anyone?" Sore wondered.
"Ken didn't go camping at all; he was about to when something happened. Whatever it was that happened took Tai and Davis with him to another Dimension." TK explained, Kari and Sora's jaws dropping in amazement.
"Another dimension? How did Matt get dragged into it then?" Sora wondered. "What if they can't get back?" She worried.
"I'm not sure; he just said that Tai, Davis and Ken were in trouble in another dimension and that he'd be back soon." TK clarified, handing the note to Kari.
"There's only three people that I know of that could help us find them." Kari said, turning on her heel and walking out of the apartment, followed closely by TK, Patamon and Sora.
Shinjuku Park – Guilmon's Hideout.
"So Matt," Tai started to get his friends attention. "We had to lie to you back at the government place about why we were here."
"Why did you do that? Ryo's not alive?" Matt questioned remorsefully. He had hoped so dearly that Ryo was alive and well so one day they could apologize for what they had put him through without telling him.
"No, he's very much alive." Yamaru reassured, picking Matt's spirits up again.
"We're really here because Milleniummon is trying to come back again." Ken said.
"Who's Milleniummon?" Tahu asked his brother, flicking hair out of his vision.
"A very powerful Digimon that could destroy everything. Ryo used to live in the same world as the DigiDestined, he disappeared after fighting Milleniummon and they all thought that he was dead when really he was just taken here." Yamaru replied.
"So he's back and you came here to stop him." Matt said, looking to Ken and Davis.
"Yeah but we have to find Ryo, we should've asked Yamaki to contact him for us…" Davis sighed, completely forgetting that the blonde haired man could get in contact with the boy.
"I don't see why you had to lie to me though…" Matt mumbled.
"Ryo's kept Milleniummon a secret from the Tamers and we will too until the time absolutely calls for it." Yamaru stated.
"We're gonna be here for a while then…" Matt noted. "Let's just hope people don't go crazy and think we're dead." He chuckled.
"What's up Agumon?" Tai asked, walking towards the small dinosaur sitting outside on the steps.
"I was just thinking Tai…" He replied.
"Don't strain yourself," Tai joked as he sat down next to him. "What about?"
"All of these Digimon that have appeared in the last few days are similar in one way or another..." He said.
"How so?" Tai asked, trying to find a link between them.
"Think about it, we've battle against a Devimon and a DigiTamamon before." He started. "BlackAgumon said that he fought against a WarGreymon and that Ryo fought a Stingmon." Agumon finished.
"That's probably the most intricate thing you've thought about in a long time." Tai teased, poking Agumon in the ribs.
"S-stop it Tai! That t-t-tickles!" Agumon laughed leaning too far forwards and bouncing down the stone steps, Tai cringing slightly with each time Agumon hit the ground.
"Are you okay?" DemiVeemon asked, hearing the commotion and walking out in time to see Agumon fall down. "If you want to roll down the hill, you're supposed to do it on the grass!" He giggled, rolling down the hill beside the steps.
"Two kinds of people…" Tai mumbled.
BEEP BEEP BEEP!
D-Arcs and D-Crests beep away, signalling yet another bio emergence within the space of only an hour or so. "Are they usually this close together?" Matt asked.
"Not really, it's only on rare occasions." Yamaru replied, bringing up his compass and running out of the utilitarian shed.
"We're gonna get this one Matt!" Tai exclaimed, calling out for Agumon to follow and running after Yamaru.
"And we'll be there watching you fail! C'mon Gabumon!" Matt called.
"You too BlackGarurumon!" Tahu yelled, jumping onto his still digivolved partners back with BlackAgumon.
"Let's go Ken!" Davis tried to encourage his friend.
"Sorry Davis, I just can't handle deleting anymore Digimon. I did that so much when I was the emperor and even afterwards. They're just confused after coming to a new world; if they were trying to directly kill me then I'd have no choice but they aren't. There are plenty of other Tamers." Ken stated sternly, not moving from his position making Davis sigh.
"I'll stay with you then!" He said.
"Wormmon! Come roll down the hill!" DemiVeemon called from outside.
"Just humour him…" Ken said, his worm-like partner nodding in response.
"Do you think Ryo will forgive us?" Davis asked, sliding down the wall to sit on the hard floor.
"It might take some time but I think he will." Ken replied, hearing DemiVeemon and Wormmon laughing from outside the shack that was once a big red saurian's home.
Odaiba – Izumi Household.
"Hello ma'am, is Izzy home?" Sora asked.
"Why yes, he's just in his room. Go on in, he'll be glad to see some friends." Izzy's mother replied with a smile as the three DigiDestined walked inside and headed down a hallway towards his room.
"You woke me up to visit Izzy?" A white and purple cat yawned from beside Kari.
"It was a good thing we ran into my mum; otherwise we'd have to have gone across the city just to get Biyomon." Sora noted, her partner flying just above her head so she didn't hit the ceiling.
"I like shopping with your mum Sora." Biyomon said tranquilly, making Sora smile.
"You're so lazy Gatomon! You need to get up groove a little more!" Patamon cheered from TK's head.
"Says the one who isn't walking…" Gatomon grumbled, Kari and TK laughing.
"Hey Izzy." Kari greeted the red haired boy who had his back turned to them, most likely typing away at his computer.
"Oh, hey guys! What are you doing here?" Izzy asked, no one having visited him in ages.
"HI SORA!" A shrill call came from somewhere in the room, Sora knowing that voice from anywhere.
"Hey Mimi." She replied as she walked over to Izzy's computer to see the girls face up on the screen.
"I was just talking to Izzy and you all showed up! Do I have news for all of you!" She cheered excitedly, bouncing up and down in her seat.
"What would that be?" Kari asked.
"Mama and Papa are moving us back to Japan!" She squealed.
"That's great Mimi! Now you can go places with us instead of just the Digital World." TK exclaimed, excited that his friend was moving back after a long time of living in America.
"Yeah, and I can take you shopping! Seriously kiddo, green jumper and green pants? It was cute when you were little but now it's just… Yucky…" She said, TK sweat dropping as Kari and Izzy snickered from the other side of the room.
"Anyway, so what brings you guys here?" Izzy asked.
"Well Tai and Davis hadn't been seen in two days so I decided to see if Ken knew where they were. Ken's mum said that he had gone camping two days ago and that Tai and Davis had appeared at her house. After that no one else had seen them so I went to see if Matt knew, I ran into Kari and TK and we went to Matt's and found this." Sora said, Kari handing the note to Izzy who read it over a few times.
"It seems like Matt didn't leave at the same time they did. But to travel to another dimension completely… There would have had to have been some major digital phenomenons happen to take Matt across to another world completely." Izzy noted, reaching under his bed and pulling out his laptop. He opened it and started to type away.
"Oh, no. Not geek mode again…" Mimi sighed.
"Maybe it wasn't the result of something Digital…?" Izzy mumbled, Tentomon striding into the room at this current time.
"Where were you?" Patamon asked him.
"I was eating Izzys' mum's cooking! It's so delicious, she's a great cook." Tentomon said happily.
"Can't be worse than my mum…" Kari noted.
"Maybe if I scan for digital activity from the past few days… Prodigious! I got it!" Izzy exclaimed. He turned his laptop around to show his friends what he had discovered. "The two locations you see on my screen are both Ken's and Matt's bedrooms. There was a high level of data from Ken's computer and also from in front of Matt's wardrobe." He stated.
"Why is the one in Matt's room a higher reading?" TK asked.
"Ken, Tai and Davis disappeared when Ken was probably going to the Digital World and it went wrong. If what Sora said is true, about no one else seeing them after Ken's mum, then that means they were accidentally pulled through with Ken. Matt's disappearance was the result of a high level Digimon taking he and Gabumon there." He replied.
"So what do we do about it? Can we bring them back at all?" Mimi probed.
"I guess I could make a program with Gennai's help…" Izzy mumbled, turning his laptop back around and typing away at the keyboard yet again.
"Maybe we could ask Azulongmon?" Gatomon suggested.
"That's a great idea, but we'd have to gather everyone and tell them all so they don't think we've disappeared too." Kari replied.
"I'm coming too!" Mimi called.
"Of course, we'll have you there if Izzy will bring his laptop." Sora said with a grin.
"No, I mean I'll go to the Digital World with Palmon and we'll exit through in your area. Then we can actually be there!" She cheered.
"Why haven't we ever thought about that before?" Izzy questioned no one in particular.
"Maybe because I'm just smarter than you." Mimi winked at the redhead who sweat dropped and blushed at the same time.
"And here I was thinking all of our adventures were over!" Biyomon said to Sora.
"Not even close." Sora replied with a huge grin. 'Now I can get that stupid Tai…'
Black Ocean World.
"Do you think they will be able to handle this many Digimon at once?" A long red serpent Digimon questioned his Wizard partner.
"It will be a challenge, that's for sure. The DigiDestined are strong but they will need to progress along a little faster if we ever want to escape this damned place." Barbamon replied.
"How many Digimon did you two send exactly?" Daemon asked.
"Last time we sent two Digimon. This time we sent three: An Agunimon, a MetalSeadramon and a Myotismon." Leviamon replied.
"You just love to mess with them, don't you?" Lucemon asked his cohorts.
"I figured sending Digimon the DigiDestined have battled before would give us a tad bit of amusement while we're stuck here." Leviamon cackled.
"Indeed." Barbamon echoed.
"I don't ever remember them fighting an Agunimon." Lilithmon noted.
"It's also fun to throw in something they've never encountered before." Leviamon explained.
"This should be entertaining." Lucemon grumbled.
Shinjuku Park.
"I'm feeling funny Matt." Gabumon said.
"It's probably because you're a tamed Digimon now." BlackGarurumon growled.
"What do you mean? How is that any different?" Gabumon questioned his darker evolution.
"It's just you sensing the Digimon. I can feel it too, there's three really powerful Digimon up ahead." BlackAgumon said.
"We can take 'em! Right Matt?" Tai boasted.
"Right."
"Goggles on!" Tai called as he ran into the Digital Field. Yamaru, Tahu and Matt putting on sunglasses.
"Looks like my theory was right Tai!" Agumon exclaimed, pointing to two of the Digimon that were just standing and floating there motionless.
"That's MetalSeadramon and Myotismon!" Matt exclaimed.
"This isn't even remotely funny…" Tai growled. "Ready to go MetalGreymon, Agumon?"
"I've been ready for years!" Agumon exclaimed. Tai clutched his Digivice tightly and held it out towards Agumon, the bright light that accompanied evolution shone from Agumon's body.
"Agumon, Digivolve to…
Agumon grew taller until Tai only reached up to his ankles, hair excluded. His claws on his hands and feet became sharper as dark blue slashes crossed over his now orange body. A skull like helmet with three horns appeared over his head as he called out his new forms name in a deeper voice that was more of a growl.
Greymon!"
Tai's crest shone a bright orange, his Digivice lighting up once again.
"Greymon, Digivolve to…
Greymon's right arm was replaced with a robotic version of it, the hand at the end was able to launch out of place and strike it's opponent. His bone helmet was now metallic as well, red hair flowing out the back until it stopped just above his tattered purple wings. A chest plate appeared on his torso as metal plates were attached to random parts on his tail.
MetalGreymon!"
"You ready BlackAgumon?" Yamaru asked the black dinosaur.
"Naturally." He replied.
"DIGI-MODIFY! Matrix Evolution, activate!" Yamaru called, swiping a blue card through his black D-Arc, the energy cackling and making smoke appear on BlackAgumon's form.
Matrix Digivolution.
"BlackAgumon, Matrix Digivolve to…
Without the use of a data sphere, BlackAgumon's body grew to the size of MetalGreymon as his flesh started to peel away, leaving only the bone structure. His still beating heart was visible through the rib-cage of the behemoth, two fish-like missiles, one blue and one green, materialised on his back.
SkullGreymon…" He moaned menacingly.
"He…turns into SkullGreymon?" Tai stammered, remembering the time he had forced his partner to digivolve to the ultimate level and then again when Agumon had been captured by Ken when he was the Digimon Emperor.
"It's his natural evolution, he doesn't go to Greymon either." Yamaru said.
"Why not?" Tai questioned under the assumption that all Agumon became Greymon.
"Digimon have multiple evolution lines here. BlackAgumon goes to DarkTyrannomon, then SkullGreymon and it ends when we biomerge to BlackWarGreymon." He explained.
"You ready to get in there BlackGarurumon? BlackGarurumon…?" Tahu said, turning around to see BlackGabumon. "Oh… You ran out of energy." He sighed.
"Looks like it's just us then… This isn't going to be easy at all, MetalSeadramon is a mega level." Tai muttered as Myotismon took a step forward and drew his crimson whip.
"Crimson Lightning!" He called, striking MetalGreymon with the whip but doing only minor damage to the unfazed behemoth.
"Giga Blaster!" MetalGreymon retaliated, opening his chest plate and firing out two fish-like missiles straight towards the vampire Digimon.
"River of Power!" MetalSeadramon sent a blast of energy out of his nose cannon and disintegrated the two missiles.
"Giga Blaster!"
"Double Dark Shot…"
SkullGreymon moaned as four missiles headed straight towards the vampire who was deleted without even making an effort to dodge.
'It's like he didn't want to dodge it…' Matt thought.
"Absorb it MetalGreymon!" Tai yelled to his gargantuan partner.
"Right!" He said, but before he could the Agunimon absorbed every last bit of it.
"Damn it." Tai cursed in annoyance.
Agunimon smirked and jumped back behind MetalSeadramon who had been charging his attack in everyone's distraction. "River of Power!"
"Tri Beam!"
A golden triangular beam intercepted MetalSeadramon's attack, cancelling both attacks out, Rapidmon flying into the battle beside the two huge saurian monsters.
"Lucky thing Henry let me come and battle!" Rapidmon cheered. "I'm stuck without being modified though…" He said more seriously.
"Attack all at once!" Yamaru shouted.
"Curse Breath…" SkullGreymon moaned, a dark aura flying from his mouth and pounding against the metallic serpents skin.
"Giga Blaster!"
"Rapid Fire!"
The two missile based attacks finishing off the MetalSeadramon, his body slowly fizzling away into data. Agunimon rushed forwards and started to absorb the data before MetalSeadramon's body had even disappeared completely, to Tai's, Yamaru's and Matt's horror.
"He didn't even care that he was working with him…" Matt grumbled angrily.
"He had planned it from the beginning, to absorb them and make himself stronger, he didn't even have the courtesy to let him go completely…" Tai mumbled, fists clenching in anger as his nail dug into his palms.
"He doesn't even have a care in the world… This has to end… The amount of Digimon that are appearing is ridiculous, hopefully this is the last battle in a long time." Yamaru said, SkullGreymon flashing white and turning back to his rookie form, MetalGreymon doing the same.
"Are you ready Agumon?"
"Ready Tai."
"How about you Gabumon? Are you well enough for one more today?"
"Of course Matt."
D-Crest, D-Arc and Digivice glowed with energy as three Digimon prepared to become Mega level.
"BIOMERGE, ACTIVATE!" Matt and Yamaru called, the words coming to Matt as naturally as breathing. Yamaru threw his D-Arc to his chest, Matt placing his crest inside before doing the same thing.
"Gabumon, Biomerge to…
Matt's body fell back down onto Gabumon's as they flashed through each of Gabumon's form. Garurumon, WereGarurumon and ending up on a metallic, quadruped wolf. His tail turned into a sharp blade as wings appeared from out of his shoulder blades. Missile ports scattered around his body became loaded as he called his name in the dual voices of Matt and Gabumon.
MetalGarurumon!"
"BlackAgumon, Biomerge to…
Yamaru fell back onto his partner as yet again they turned into the unstoppable BlackWarGreymon.
BlackWarGreymon!"
"Agumon, Warp Digivolve to…"
Agumon underwent the same process as Gabumon had done, flashing through each of his evolution stages and ending up on the bipedal Dragon Man Digimon.
WarGreymon!"
"Pyro Darts!"
Agunimon roared, small flames firing out from the top of his gloves and soaring towards the three mega level Digimon who dodged in time.
"This feels weird… But awesome!" MetalGarurumon said in Matt's voice. "Gee Tai, I'm beating you at everything lately!" He chuckled.
"We can take him out pretty easily if we work together and we do it quickly." BlackAgumon said.
"I have an idea." Yamaru replied, BlackWarGreymon dodging another round of flaming darts.
"Tell us already!" WarGreymon roared.
"Pyro Tornado!" Agunimon started to spin in circles, fire spinning up around him and attempting to pull the Digimon inside.
'We're lucky the Digital Field hasn't lowered yet…' Tai thought.
"Remember when you and MetalGarurumon were fighting VenomMyotismon?" Yamaru asked the other Dragon Man Digimon, recalling some of the episodes he had actually seen of the show.
"Yeah, what about it?" WarGreymon replied, trying not to be sucked inside.
"We should use the same tactic we did back then. Agunimon isn't as strong as VenomMyotismon even with the data he just absorbed, so he shouldn't be able to break free!" Gabumon yelled as the tornado stopped and Agunimon instantly sent out another volley of darts.
"Pyro Darts!"
"G Cross Freezer!"
MetalGarurumon's weapon compartments opened up and missiles shot out of his body and swarmed towards Agunimon who attempted to dodge, the missiles just changing course to follow him. They impacted against his body and froze him in place.
"Terra Force!"
"Terra Destroyer!"
The two balls of positive and negative emotions flew towards the Agunimon just as he broke free of his icy prison, it was too late for him to dodge as the blasts consumed him, shaking the area but doing no damage to the actual park since the Digital Field was still up.
"Well I guess I wasn't needed much after all…" Rapidmon said.
WarGreymon flew down and absorbed Agunimon's data, Tai's Digivice changing shape. MetalGarurumon flew over towards Tai only to witness him disappear in a flash of light.
"Tai!" Matt called out.
"What?" Tai answered, flying over to MetalGarurumon.
"WarGreymon?" Gabumon said confused.
"Huh? Oh… Wait!" Tai exclaimed, realizing he and Agumon had merged together. Tai glanced around from inside his orange data sphere and noticed the crest of courage encircling around him. "Hey Matt, is the crest of friendship floating around you?" He asked from inside WarGreymon.
"Uh… Yeah. It's pretty cool!" Matt exclaimed, looking out from his data sphere and seeing it for the first time.
"That's strange…" Yamaru stated from BlackWarGreymon's body.
"How?" Agumon asked.
"Ours is just pitch black. Except for the light our data sphere gives off, but yeah…" Yamaru noted.
"Maybe it is because of their crests then…" Matt noted as he Tai and Yamaru dedigivolved.
Agumon ran up to Tai and they both embraced into a hug. "That was so cool Tai!" He exclaimed excitedly.
"It felt amazing sharing my power with you Matt." Gabumon said as Matt rubbed his fur.
"So you two are Tamers as well now…" Someone said from behind.
The four boys and their Digimon turned around to see Ken, Davis, Henry, Rika and Takato, all with their respective partners. Rapidmon having flown off to meet up with Henry.
"Yeah, and we even get new Digivices." Tai smirked, pulling out his auburn D-Crest with white ring and buttons and holding it out. Matt mimicking his actions so the Tamers could go over them.
"What are those other slots for?" Rika asked.
"It's so they can place their crests inside. They don't need blue cards like we do." Tahu said.
"That sucks so much!" Rika complained.
"When I digivolved with Gabumon, I placed my crest inside as well. I didn't mean to, it just happened…" Matt informed everyone.
"That must be how you biomerge then…" Henry noted.
"How are you feeling now?" Tai asked Takato, remembering how the boy had fainted a few hours before.
"Fine, I honestly don't know why that happens." He mumbled, scratching the back of his head.
"It could have been because of the amount of people in the room making it all hot and stuffy." Yamaru said, looking to Takato.
"Or it could've been Guilmon's breath!" Rapidmon quipped, dedigivolving to Terriermon and landing on Henry's head.
"Terriermon!"
"Momentai!"
"My breath smells like bread!" Guilmon exclaimed happily.
"Are you serious right now?" Davis asked in disbelief at the Digimon's attitude mirroring DemiVeemon's almost exactly.
"Yeah, smell!" Guilmon said, breathing in Davis's face, making the brunette pinch his nose.
"That's disgusting…" He muttered, getting laughter from all around.
"Well, we better head back. Yamaki still wants us to explain some things, like why you are all here and he'll probably find out that you two became Tamers." Rika said, glancing at Tai and Matt.
End Chapter 7.
This chapter turned out just how I wanted it to. Five Digimon, two bio emergences and another new D-Crest. What a day it's been! Seems like the Demon Lords clarified Agumon's theory for us too. Another plot enters the storyline as Sora, Kari, TK, Izzy and Mimi plan to tell everyone about the four DigiDestined boys going missing, they'll probably treat it as an emergency too, not knowing that Matt, Tai, Davis and Ken aren't actually in any trouble. Yet…
Takato still doesn't remember anything that happens when Draconius gets bored. When will Draconius take over Takato's body? What will he do? Where the heck is Ryo?
Again, I'm the only one who knows... ;)
I'll try to respond to reviews as well, I enjoy hearing everyone's opinions, good or bad.
