*Disclaimer - I don't own digimon.
Chapter 9: A New Team of Four
"Sora?" Tai whispered still clutching onto the bat. The green digimon was lying on the ground unconscious for the time being and the brown haired boy was holding the bat tightly looking ready to attack the moment he got up.
"W…we have to go before he wakes up." Sora said stuttering as she helped Mimi up to her feet. "You may have knocked him out but he's stronger than us."
"But he'll just come back…" Mimi whimpered. "What does he want with me? Gosh I liked it better when my biggest problem was a zit not a monster chasing me!"
"Okay Mimi we'll talk about this later, we really have to get out of here!" Sora told her urgently pulling her along. Mimi looked nervous but followed obediently.
"Where are we going?" Tai asked quickly following behind.
"Izzy Izumi's."
…
"Kari?"
The short haired brunette looked up at the longer haired purple girl standing in front of her. She was sitting at the park doing her homework. It was such a beautiful day she hadn't wanted to sit inside her apartment. The park was quiet as most younger kids were still in school, considering there's hadn't been vandalized. "Hello Yolie." Kari responded politely. "Did you decide to come to the park since they let us out of school, too?"
"Nah I'm on my lunch break. When my parents found out I was out of school they put me right to work at the convenience store. May I sit with you?" She asked.
"Sure" Kari said with a smile. She hadn't really known Yolie well or spoken to her at all until recently but she seemed like a really nice girl.
"So why would you use your day off to do homework?" Yolie asked taking her sandwich out of the plastic bag she had brought with her and taken a bite out of it.
Kari shrugged. "I had nothing else to do I guess."
"GET THE HELL OFF MY COURT!"
The girls jumped and turned to look in the direction the yelling came from. It was a male voice.
"Who was that?" Kari whispered.
"I don't know but he sounded mad. Let's go find out!" Yolie said jumping up.
"Yolie I'm not sure if that's a good…" Kari started but the girl had already grabbed her arm and dragged her over to the area of the basketball courts.
"I said get off my court!" A boy yelled. Kari recognized him from her school. He was a junior and big. He had dark black hair and muscles. He was like the incredible Hulk (*don't own him) without being green. And he was yelling at Tk.
He grabbed Tk by the shirt and started to pull him up against the basketball hoop's metal pole. Tk just kept his face steady and glare firm.
"Stop it!" Kari yelled immediately running over.
"Kari don't!" Yolie yelled but the girl didn't listen.
"Stop it you're going to hurt him!" Kari said once she reached them.
The boy looked at her and smirked. "Who's this? Your girlfriend?"
"No." Tk said firmly. "Go away." He told Kari but she didn't move.
"Please stop fighting! Someone is going to get hurt!" She said concerned.
The guy smirked. "I'll tell you what pretty girl. I'll let your boyfriend go when he gets his ass off my court."
"And I'll get my ass off this court when you learn to take a shower. You freaking smell." Tk said with his glare still intact. This set the guy off and she threw Tk to the ground. Kari screamed as she heard a smash as Tk hit the tar.
"Stop it!" She cried as she ran over to Tk.
"HEY!" Yolie yelled walking up to the guy. "Who the hell do you think you are, I swear I'll kick your…" He grabbed her arms and shoved her out of his way.
"Take that bitch." He said then someone from behind him grabbed him and flipped him into the ground. "UGH!" The older boy yelled out in pain as he hit the ground revealing his attacker, Ken Ichijouji.
…
"I DON'T WANT TO!" Mimi yelled as Sora had to practically pull her up to Izzy's apartment. She was struggling and continuously dug her pink heels into the wood balcony to make it harder for Sora to pull her forward.
"Mimi, stop acting like a five year old!" Sora said still pulling her. "We need Izzy if we're going to protect you!"
"I'll take the green monster!"
"MIMI!"
Tai sighed leaning up against the building. All he really wanted to know was what the heck was going on but Sora had insisted on telling him once they got to Izzy's apartment and she could talk to the both of them. Unfortunately Mimi seemed to have some issues with the kid and was flat out refusing in words and physically to go into the apartment.
"Mimi what's the big deal?" Sora asked feeling defeated as she released her grip on her stubborn other life best friend. If she thought Mimi was stubborn before she didn't want to know how stubborn she was now.
"I don't like him!" She exclaimed flatly crossing her arms and glaring at no one in particular. "Do you know he says that I'm selfish and only care about myself! That is unbelievable; I care about plenty of people. He is SO judgmental! He doesn't even KNOW me! He's just jealous because I'm popular and…"
The trio jumped as the door to Izzy's apartment opened in front of him. Mimi stopped speaking and just looked away from the red haired boy in front of her. He had a white t-shirt on with a green short sleeve shirt unbuttoned over it.
"Um hi?" He said awkwardly to the three people standing in front of his apartment.
"Hi Izzy." Sora said politely. "I know it's kind of rude to ask but may we come in? We have something really important to talk about."
"Which I think we can discuss without him…" Mimi started but Sora cut her off.
She gave her a serious look. "Mimi you may not remember but I do and we need Izzy if we're going to make it through this."
"I'd still like to know what we're trying to make it through." Tai said annoyed as he continued to lean up against the building.
"I'll tell you in a minute. Izzy?" Sora almost pleaded to the boy.
Izzy opened the door. "Well I suppose it must be important if you're all here. Come in, nobody's home."
The three followed him inside into his living room. It was neat and orderly and the couch was beige. Tai and Sora went over and took a seat on the couch while Mimi carefully made her way to the chair furthest away from the one Izzy was sitting in. She crossed her legs and kept her arms folded looking anywhere but the other threes direction.
Sora took a deep breath. "First I should probably explain to Izzy that the monster attack at school was really a monster." Izzy opened his mouth to speak but Sora stopped him. "They're real, you don't have to believe me right now but please just hear me out. These two can vouch for me considering we were just attacked by the same monster that destroyed the girl's locker room."
Izzy looked at Tai and Mimi. Tai just gave him a serious look that told him this was the truth and Mimi just flat out refused to look at him at all.
"Okay…" Izzy said slowly. "Continue…"
"These monsters are called Digimon." Sora explained. "I've already told Mimi about these and she didn't exactly believe me though I'm sure she does after today" She looked at the girl who was now picking at her jean skirt still not making eye contact with anyone. Sora sighed and continued "They are from a place called the digital world. It's like another dimension. And all four of us are part of a group called the digidestined along with eight others. Unfortunately none of you remember this because I made an incredibly stupid wish one night that we had never gone to the digital world and it came true."
"So you're saying we're like stuck in some alternate reality?" Tai asked skeptical.
"I know it sounds crazy but it's true. In our real lives as digidestined we worked together with digimon partners to save the digital world and our world. And our world was at peace because of this. But since now we never went to the digital world evil digimon are taking over and trying to access our world as well by the looks of it." Sora said sadly. "The thing is we need to fight the evil digimon but since none of you remember being digidestined and we no longer have our digimon partners we're pretty much worthless."
"So what are you saying we're just going to let these monsters attack our world?" Tai asked.
"No of course not." Sora said in defeat. "But I don't really know what we can do. Like I said we need our digimon partners."
"Then we find them." Tai said. "Look I personally kind of like the world we live in, and if we're the only ones who can save it then we need to get it together and save it!"
"But we can't find them without going to the digital world. And we can't go there because we don't have our digivices, oh those are these little handhelds that we used to go in and out of the digital world and make our digimon stronger. And even if we were able to get to the digital world it's so big that it'd be nearly impossible to find them." Sora told him exasperated.
"Then what do we do?" Tai asked beginning to feel defeated himself with there being a problem to all of his solutions.
"There is one thing." Sora said a bit hopeful. "There is one person in the digital world that may be able to help us. His name is Genni, he's like this human digital creature. Anyway we've all been to where he lives before on our previous journey and I could probably figure out how to get there but we do need to find a way to get to the digital world. Which is where Izzy comes in." She said looking towards the computer geek.
"You want me to get us to the digital world?" He asked with his eyebrows raised. "I'm still not even sure I believe all of this."
Sora sighed. "Please Izzy, you're our only hope. You were always the one that was able to find a way to open the gate to the digital world, and if you have any questions you can ask me. But if we don't get to the digital world both worlds will be destroyed…plus for some reason they seem to be after Mimi…" She looked towards the girl who was curled up in the chair. She finally looked up and made eye contact with Sora. Izzy also stared at her for a moment before taking a deep breath.
"Okay fine, I'll see what I can do…" He told her.
"Oh thank you Izzy!" Sora said happily.
"What about the other eight digidestined?" Tai asked. "She would get them in on this?"
"I would…" Sora said "But I'm worried that without our digimon bringing twelve people to the digital world unprotected wouldn't be the smartest idea. I was thinking we wait until we can get our digimon back. Plus even Izzy still doesn't fully believe us and he has three people telling him it's true, how are we going to get eight others to?"
Tai tilted his head and nodded. "I guess that's true."
"But Tai you should know…one of them is your sister." She said slowly waiting for the boy's reaction.
Tai tilted his head back. "I should have seen that one coming…"
"Don't worry we're going to keep everyone safe." She looked at Mimi. "I think you should stay with one of us until this whole thing is settled."
"What?" Mimi asked finally speaking. "Thanks but I'm perfectly good in my own home…"
"Mimi it's dangerous." Sora said seriously. "A digimon attacked you today and said he wanted you for his queen!"
Mimi glared at her. "I don't want this whole ridiculous situation changing my life!"
"Then just for tonight." Sora looked at her pleadingly.
"Fine." Mimi said ending the conversation. "Just for tonight."
