Lonestar88: Maybe

Hakkyou no Yami: Think about where we are in the story. As you said, Tai has had a long history with Sora and Mimi and Kari... meaning once those three are sorted out we can spend time on Tai and Yolie bonding so that DOES seem natural.
Also Yolie is the type who falls for older/cool guys. So I feel her crush on Tai, at the moment, makes sense and that will soon grow

61394: That's the joke

PhantomDark: It's not a full lemon, that's why

The Keeper of Worlds: Well that's because the concept of what they where saying did not hit until she was nearly ankle deep in the Dark Ocean's water and depression set in.

Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:

duskrider: You'll have to wait and see.

61394: Maybe surreal, but it's awesome #Digimonplaysnuzlocke

gwb620: Thanks very much

Lonestar88: Wait and see

To everyone who wished Grey a 'happy birthday': Thank you for your kind words.

Digimon Adventure Tai 02

Chapter 11: Spiraling YinYang, Friendship Storm Part 1


"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon called, shooting blue flames at some of the Emperor's Digimon and destroying the Dark Rings. Gabumon was on his own, he was trying his best to thin the Digimon Emperor's ranks just getting down and attacking smaller operations. From just small camps that didn't have many members in them, which kept things to a minimum notoriety. Reducing the Emperor's forces, his camps. Not the ones making the Control Spires. And right now, he was getting away from another camp. He had done his mission for the day... Only to run into BlackGatomon
"Gah! You!" Gabumon gasped

"Hey there, Gabumon. You've been on our radar for a while now." BlackGatomon smiled, cracking her knuckles "So it's time to bring you in."

"You won't get me in!" Gabumon answered, shooting at the ground to kick up some dust and flames but BlackGatomon charged through the dust and flames, punching him across the jaw "GAH!" Gabumon grunted and was flung into the ground "... I forgot she was a Champion." He mumbled

"Yep, and I've been training." She smiled, sharpening her claws on the trees "Now, will you come peacefully?"

"Do I have a choice?" Gabumon groaned, standing tall "Because I am sorry but I shall keep fighting until the end."

BlackGatomon smiled and mirthlessly chuckled at that. "Let's test that; shall we?"

Gabumon was silent, panting before he grinned weakly "I could do this all day."


*With Tai and Kari*

"How do you feel?" Tai asked, holding Kari as they both woke up.

"Better." Kari smiled "So, so, SO much better." She giggled and snuggled against his chest "Hmm. You really made me cum Tai." She teased

"Guess looking at porn paid off." Tai laughed awkwardly

"Maybe we should watch some together, next time." Kari smiled

"That...Err...W-Would be nice." Tai blushed. , shaking his head "Come on, I'm sure your friends must be worried about you."

"Yeah." Kari nodded, kissing his cheek and got up. Her lower half, of course, having no cloths allowed her to tease her lover quickly

'Oh man. How is she this beautiful?' Tai thought happily. He got out of bed and gathered his stuff, waiting for Kari to finish in the bathroom "Hmm...Got to make breakfast." He thought aloud and opened the cupboard. "Shoot. Looks like we need to make a trip to the shop."

"We can do that tonight." Kari said as she walked in, her hair still wet from her shower while dressed in her normal stuff

"Okay." Tai nodded, seeing her wet self., settling on making a simple breakfast of toast which was when Agumon, Salamon and Veemon walked in "Hey, you Digivolved in your sleep." Tai spoke, seeing Agumon again.

"Yeah! Just needed some food and a good nap!" He smiled

"I'm still not 100%." Salamon admitted "But I feel a lot better."

"But you look better." Veemon answered, still feeling embarrassed about last night.

"Thanks" Salamon blushed

"So, what's this about breakfast?" Agumon asked

"We don't have much. We're going to have to have a shop." Tai answered

"Awwww." Agumon complained

"I've got to go for a shower; we'll make a list for later. Okay?" Tai spoke, patting his partners head before walking into the bathroom

"Oh~, no breakfasht?" Veemon asked sadly.

"We are just having toast." Kari explained "A small simple one."

"Hey Kari, can I talk to you?" Salamon asked

"Sure, Salamon." Kari nodded, taking a bite of toast before going into the bedroom with her partner.

"... Kari... I made myself look SO stupid yesterday!" Salamon cried

"What're you talking about?" Kari asked, kneeling down to Salamon's level.

"As Nyaromon I was so stupid! Bouncing around and being all silly and I told Veemon I liked him!" Salamon cried

"Oh, Salamon." Kari frowned and hugged her, stroking her head to reassure her.

"And he thought I was stupid kid and just being stupid! He said I looked pretty but he was just trying to make me happy since I was so stupid and childish!" Salamon continued to cry

"No, no. I don't think he thinks that at all." Kari answered, caught off guard by this situation. It amazed how much Digimon varied between their forms, never seeing Gatomon so... Emotional 'Oh man, what do I say to her?' Kari thought, trying to think of what Sora would say to her when she was upset when she was younger "... So you DO like Veemon?" She asked picking Salamon up

"H-Huh?" Salamon looked at Kari with red eyes.

"Do you like Veemon?" Kari asked

"Well, yeah." She nodded, her tears calming down

"That's great." Kari answered

"Now that you are a rookie, at least for the day, use that as a chance to get closer to him while you are 'the same'. And in a few days, just tell him." Kari smiled "Or you can tell him today while you are Salamon, it could be more romantic that way."

"I-I dunno." Salamon answered while blushing.

"Come on, you can do it." Kari encouraged

"O-Okay. I'll...I'll try." Salamon answered, nodding quickly

"Atta girl. I know you can do this." Kari praised her, rubbing behind her ear

Salamon purred gently and nuzzled into Kari's hand... which was weird since she was a dog... who Digivolved from a cat... and will Digivolve into a cat... Digivolution was weird


*time skip*

The group were now in school and they were glad to see Kari back safe and sound.. Kari was calm and smiling, catching up with her missed school work "You feeling better, Kari?" One of her friends asked

"Much better." Kari nodded, reassuring them "Just need some medicine."

"That's a relief." Her friend answered

In the computer room, the Digimon were relaxing. Right now, Agumon, Biyomon, Upamon and Poromon were sleeping while Veemon and Salamon were awake "Thish clashsh is sho boring!" Veemon complained

"Shh. Don't let them hear you." Salamon hushed

"Ssssshhh!" he hushed back playfully

"YOU 'SSSSHHHHHH'!" Salamon hushed playfully back, nudging him.

"You sssssh." He laughed

"Does anyone else hear hissing?" A student asked

The two covered each others mouths, giggling. Veemon and Salamon trying their hardest not to laugh

"Must be the vents." The teacher answered

The two soon released their hold on each others mouths, laughing lightly "Oh... oh man..." Veemon mumbled between laughs

"Anyway, back to the lesson." The teacher answered

'He's so cute.' Salamon thought like a school girl with a crush

'Wow... she's so easy to talk to.' Veemon thought. When he spoke to Gatomon it was like he was talking to an older next door neighbor but with Salamon it was like talking to that childhood best friend next door. It was MUCH easier to talk to her... he felt like he could open up to her.
He gently held her paw, both smiling


*With Tai*

"And that's the war of 1582." The teacher spoke, closing the book.

Tai mumbled, closing his book 'Man, that took forever.' Tai thought with a rub of his eyes.

"Tai! Tai!" Joe yelled, clearly panicked as he ran in

"What's up with Joe?" Matt blinked

"No clue." Izzy shrugged

"Joe, where's the fire?" Tai asked,

"I've been invited to a gōkon! A Joint Konpa!" Joe yelled in fear

The group blinked at each other and then back to Joe. "Um, what?" Tai asked nervously, feeling dumb for asking.

"... Oh, right. You're too young." Joe chuckled nervously "A Konpa is a teenage/young adult version of nomikai. Nomikai being where co-workers go out to drink and socialize, something that you can't say no to as it is expected team bonding."

"Oh yeah, my dad goes to those." Tai nodded in realisation

"Exactly." Joe nodded "A Konpa is a less formal version for younger people. And a Joint Konpa, known as a gōkon for short, is where one guy and one girl invite several of their single friends, both groups must be equal in number, and go to drink, socialize and try to pair off into romantic couples."

"...Your dad's playing matchmaker with us?!" Matt asked

"Matt, did you listen to what he said?" Izzy sighed "A nomikai is buisness going out drinking with their co-workers, orgonised by the company and one member of staff. A Konpa is similar but for younger people to hang out with a group of friends. A gōkon, a Joint Konpa, is where one male teen and one female teen invite several of their friends to have a big group date in the chance of people finding love. Joe has been invited by one of his friends to a gōkon."

"Okay, I sorta get it now." Matt sighed.

"I am not ready!" Joe cried in fear

"Joe, Joe! Calm down! Okay?" Tai grabbed Joe and shook him

"We will help you get ready for this! Okay?"

"O-Okay." Joe panic-nodded and looked at his friends.

"When is it?" Izzy asked

"Next Friday." Joe mumbled

"Okay. I'll call Mimi over, we will work with you over the weekend, and next Friday you are going to knock those girls off their feet!" Tai grinned

"They will be throwing your panties at you, Joe!" Matt laughed

"Isn't Mimi is America? How're we gonna get her here?" Joe asked, while blushing

"Duh, via the Digital World." Tai rolled his eyes

"Sorry. This whole thing has me frazzled." Joe apologised, rubbing his neck "I've just never been in this situation before."

"Dude, its fine. We ALL get nervous." Matt answered

"Hey, what's the drma?" Sora asked as she walked over

"Joe's gotten invited to drinking with his dad and we need another girl joining us. Want to come, Sora?" Tai asked

"Tai, no. I'm all yours." Sora frowned and hugged his arm, elbowing him lightly

"And that is not even remotely what's going on." Izzy deadpanned

"Just a joke. Not a good one I admit." Tai answered


"*Time Skip*

Tai and Izzy arrived at the computer lab, smiling as they saw the younger DigiDestined with the Digimon "Hey guys." Tai spoke

"Sorry for the wait." Izzy added. "Tai didn't know what a 'Joint Konpa' was."

"A what?" The Digimon and younger DigiDestined asked

"We'll explain later." Tai sighed, not wanting to do this song and dance AGAIN.

"Sho what're we doing?" Veemon asked

"Heading into the Digital World and meeting up with Tentomon, I wish to gather data about the Armour Digivolution with my own eyes and my computer." Izzy explained

"Oh, okay." The Digimon answered.

"All set?" Tai asked

"Give me a minute." Izzy replied

"Okay, Izzy." Yolei answered, before smiling and getting closer to Tai

'Um.' Tai blinked, seeing Yolei get closer.

"Hey Tai." She smiled

"Hey, Yolei. Um...You okay?" He asked

"Yes, I'm fine." She smiled

"Right, okay." Tai gulped a little, trying to keep his mind off something after all she was pushing against him a bit "Izzy. Done yet?" Tai asked nervously.

"Close." he stated simply

"How've you been?" Tai asked Cody and Yolei.

"Studying." Cody nodded

"Practicing my cooking." Yolei added

"Yes, she's a dab hand at that." Poromon included

"Her cookies are great!" Upamon cheered

"Oh. Oh yeah, I don't think I managed to eat one." Tai answered, thinking back

"I'll make you a batch special!" Yolie smiled

"Oh...Um, you don't have to do that." Tai answered

"Nope! Only fair!" She smiled

"O-Okay." Tai answered

"For the portal." Izzy nodded

"You got it open?" Tai asked

"Well I located where we are going." Izzy blinked

"Thank goodness; we going now?" Tai asked

"Yay!" Salamon cheered

"Yes." Izzy rolled his eyes. "Jeez, so impatient." The others chuckled, pulling out their D3's

"Digi-Portal, OPEN!" The group called out, teleporting to the Digital World.

In a massive burst of light they appeared in a rocky area "Whoa. Where are we now?" Cody asked as they arrived

"Looks like we are near a volcano." TK blinked

"Phew, I'm glad I don't have fur." Armadillomon spoke

"Speak for yourself, my feathers might get ash in them." Hawkmon answered

"I'm in my element!" Veemon grinned

"Yeah, same here...Maybe it's cause I'm a dinosaur?" Agumon added

"And me being a dragon?" Veemon added, scratching his stomach

"Can we get a move on please?" Salamon asked, feeling a little heated due to her fur.

Veemon frowned, hugging her lightly to try to comfort her "Better?"

"A bit." she shrugged and blushed

"Come on guys; let's go stop the Digimon Emperor." TK spoke dramatically

"Izzy!" Tentomon cheered as he flew towards his partner

"Tentomon! It's good seeing you again!" Izzy smiled, hugging his partner.

"The Emperor has several prisons set up." Tentomon explained

"What? Are you serious?" Izzy asked

"Of course I am!" Tentomon waved his arms about

"Great." Tai sighed

"I think we might need a plan again." Kari spoke with a joke and that was when several Tyrannomon neared them

"Ah. Not good." TK gulped seeing them

"And they got Meramon!" Izzy yelled

"Burning, burning, BURNING!" Meramon screamed "Kill Kill Kill!"

"THAT'S not creepy at all!" Yolei panicked

"RUN!" Tai called out, quickly armour Digivolving Agumon and Veemon with the DigiEgg's of Courage and Light respectively. Kari let him hold her egg for now since Salamon was still too weak to Armour Digivolve

"VOLCAGREYMON!"
"GARGOYLEMON!"
Agumon and Veemon called out, shooting the group of Tyrannomon with the others quickly armour Digivolved as well
"DIGMON!"
"PEGASUSMON!"
"HALSEMON!"
The Digimon called out, stopping the Tyrannomon from getting them. They all attacked, preparing for battle

"Get them! Burn them all!" Meramon commanded. The Airdramon roared, unleashing air blasts at them

"These guys again?" Gargoylemon shouted

"The Emperor clearly hasn't got much of a variety of soldiers." VolcaGreymon mocked

"Guess he puts too much stock in powerful Digimon than variations." Digmon answered, striking at the Tyrannomon

"And even then..." Pegasusmon joked, purposefully not giving a finish to that sentence, The red dinosaur Digimon roared, only to get a hoof to the lower jaw. BlackGatomon jumped in, striking people with her Lightning Paw

"GAH!" Kari and Salamon gasped

"Hello, Digidestined. Miss me?" BlackGatomon asked, cracking her knuckles

"You stay away from her!" Kari spoke, protecting Salamon and holding her tightly

"Oh, I'm gonna ENJOY doing this." BlackGatomon smiled

"You bitch of a cat!" Kari spat in defence of her partner

"Bite me, human!" BlackGatomon snarled and lunged at Kari "That murderer just die!"

"'Murderer'?!" Kari asked/yelled in disbelief, dodging BlackGatomon "Gah!" She screamed, dodging another strike

"Get away from her!" Salamon leaped out of Kari's arms and hit BlackGatomon, only to be hit back

"Such a weakling." She grinned

"Salamon! What do you MEAN she's a murderer?" Kari called out

"She killed my father!" She hissed, her class gleaming in the light

However their conversation was interrupted by several Airdramon arrived, the Emperor on one of their backs,... Carrying a Garurumon with a Dark Ring around his neck!

"G-Garurumon? Is that you?" VolcaGreymon asked, seeing his friend.

"Calm down partner, it might just be another Garurumon." Tai said, trying to look hopeful

"Heh. Garurumon, show them what you can do." The Digimon Emperor ordered, releasing the feral Garurumon at them "Show your friends your power!" He grinned, revealing the truth, as the Airdramon dropped the wolf Digimon

"Garurumon, NO!" VolcaGreymon called out

"RAAAARGH! HOWLING BLASTER!" Garurumon roared, shooting out a blue flame from his mouth

"Salamon!" Gargoylemon yelled in fear, getting in front of the two and being hit by the flames. He yelled in pain, falling to his knees

"Gargoylemon!" Salamon called out.

"A-Are you okay?" He asked, groaning in pain.

"She's MINE you daft wolf!" BlackGatomon snapped

"Back off!" Gargoylemon snarled at BlackGatomon, slapping her away

"GAH!" BlackGatomon yelled

"WOLF FANG!" Garurumon snarled, only to have his mouth filled with flames by VolcaGreymon

"Garurumon! This... This isn't you!" He grunted as he held his friend back. Garurumon glared and tried to bite down on VolcaGreymon's hands, trying to get a hit in "Ah!" VolcaGreymon yelled in pain. Garurumon just roared and tried to bite VolcaGreymon's hands off "N-NO!" VolcaGreymon screamed, shooting fireballs into Garurumon's mouth to get him off him

"No!" Digmon yelled, launching his drills

"ARGH!" The Tyrannomon roared

"BURN!" Meramon roared, shooting off fireballs. Halsemon and Pegasusmon launched attacks, making Garurumon back up. Garurumon growled, glaring at the group.

"You...Are MINE. You murderer." BlackGatomon glared at Salamon.

"I don't know WHY you accuse me of that!" Salamon answered

"That is it." The Emperor frowned as he raised his D3 as the black Digivice began to glow

"Huh?" The group looked up

"GARURUMON! I COMMAND YOU TO DIGIVOLVE!" The Digimon Emperor proclaimed

Tai's eyes shrunk upon hearing that. "No! Don't do it!" he yelled out desperately, despair filling his voice 'Without a proper Ultimate on our side we wouldn't stand a chance!'

"What?" Cody blinked

"What's going on?!" Yolie gasped

"I COMMAND YOU DIGIVOLVE!" the emeoror roared, his Digivice glowing

Garurumon growled darkly, snarling like a wild animal, feeling his data expanding and his body growing. His voice was guttural and heavy. "G-Garurumon DARK DIGIVOLVE TO-"
Garurumon's fur began to spring up and tear away, his body shifted and transformed, his spine was protruding out of his back his snout and claws were becoming blackened and sharp and all that was left, was like a large wolf skeleton with ragged fur hanging on it like a pair of old curtains.
"SKULLGARURUMON!"

The entire team gasped as they saw this new Dark Digivolution of Gabumon. This was nothing they had ever seen, but Tai knew what it was like. How Agumon went through the same thing...To SkullGreymon. He was almost getting PTSD

"What is this? My research showed he Digivolved into 'WereGarurumon'!" The Digimon Emperor spoke

"You are stupid kid!" Tai yelled in fear "We have to get out of here!"

"What the hell're you-" The Digimon Emperor asked before he was interrupted

"NECRO BLIZZARD!" SkullGarurumon roared, inhaling deeply and exhaling, a huge tundra erupted from his snarling skull mouth and from his ragged fur

Gargoylemon held Kari and Salamon close, the cold washing over everything "I-I got-t-t-t you." Gargoylemon shuddered in the freezing tundra

"I can't move my wings." Pegasusmon flinched as he stayed landlocked, his wings too cold to even move

"N-Neither can I." Halsemon grunted

"My joints are frozen!" Digmon added while Tyrannomon and Meramon were frozen in place.

VolcaGreymon roared, his flames blazing and helping himself stay warm "Stop this Garurumon! This isn't you!" VolcaGreymon called out "Gabumon!"

"GGGGRRRAAOOORRR!" SkullGarurumon roared, thrashing about like a wild beast.

"Don't make me do this!" His friend spoke, readying his attack

"DEATH FREEZE!" SkullGarurumon roared, shooting large ice spears at him

"PLASMA SHARDS!" VolcaGreymon proclaimed, shooting his fire attacks which exploded when they hit the ice and hit SkullGarurumon...
And it did nothing
"I-It didn't work." VolcaGreymon gasped

RAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

SkullGarurumon whipped his tail and threw VolcaGarurumon into the ground. "Well. Can't argue with results. SkullGarurumon, destroy the Digidestined!" The Digimon Emperor commanded.

SkullGarurumon heard his order...but he turned around and looked up, looking at him with his glowing blue glints that one could call eyes "DEATH FREEZE!" He roared, shooting icicles at him.

"What?!" The Emperor gasped, his Airdramon dodging the attack

"DEATH FREEZE!" SkullGarurumon roared, shooting out more icicles.

"Wh-What's happening?" Digmon struggled, breaking out of the ice.

"H-he can't c-c-control him." Gargoylemon shuddered, freezing from the cold.

"FROZEN DARKNESS!" SkullGarurumon roared, shooting a large blast of ice at Gargoylemon

"AAAHHH!" He yelled, being sent flying. He crashed into a Control Spire, destroying it and reverting to Veemon

"V-Veemon!" Tai called out

"He destroyed my Spire with ease!" The Digimon Emperor gasped as he saw the destruction.

"Tentomon! They need your help!" Izzy flinched

"I'll try, but I'm not sure what I can do!" Tentomon answered, knowing that his level was dwarfed by SkullGarurumon's.

"Good thing I'm here." Izzy smiled as he flashed his Digivice

Tentomon's eyes widened as he felt the power of Izzy's Digivice activate "TENTOMON DIGIVOLVE TO...!" He called out, feeling his body transform. "KABUTERIMON!"

With the familiar form he charged forward, using his wings and multiple arms allowing him to redirect SkullGarurumon's head. SkullGarurumon roared, trying to shake Kabuterimon off, but his head was aimed away from any life.

"Guy! Hit him with everything you've got!" Kabuterimon yelled as he charged up his own energy

"GOLD RUSH/TEMPEST WING/STAR SHOWER/ELECTRO-SHOCKER!" The group of Digimon proclaimed shooting at SKullGarurumon

"PLASMA SHARD!" VolcaGreymon roared as he added to the attack, the group's power combining and finally shattering the Dark Ring

SkullGarurumon roared in pain as he now reverted back to Gabumon, fatigued and unconscious, he landed on the floor away from the group. The other Digimon groaned in pain, falling to the floor and DeDigivolving in exhaustion

"Guys!" The DigiDestined called out, going to their friends.

"We-We're okay. Just tired." Armadillomon groaned

"Can't move." Hawkmon mumbled as he shivered

"We'll get you w-warm." Yolei shivered.

"G-Gabumon." Agumon tried to get over to his friend.

The Emperor walked forward, picking the wolf Digimon up by the back of his neck "Not that easy." he commented

"Y-You-" Agumon looked up at him in pain.

"Looks like I need to run more tests. I WILL get WereGarurumon." The Digimon Emperor spoke, carrying him off "You win this round runts, but I'll be back!" He yelled, getting onto the back of an Airdramon "Retreat!" He ordered. The Airdramon screeched, picking up the Digimon Emperor and flew off.

"No!" Tai yelled

As the Digimon Emperor disappeared from view, so did BlackGatomon, she was too exhausted to fight because of SkullGarurumon.

"Until next time." She yelled back, the DigiDestined falling to their knees exhausted
Defeated

"Damn you." Tai hissed, clenching his fists


*Time skip*

The group were back in the real world, getting warm from that massive ice attack and licking their wounds...SkullGarurumon was nothing they had faced against. At least for the new two DigiDestined and the three new Digimon

"... Izzy. Call the old team." Tai stated simply "Same place as last time, same time. We... Need to tell them."

"I understand." Izzy sighed. "This is going to crush, Matt."

"I know." Tai nodded simply

"See you later then." Izzy answered, waving goodbye.

Kari sighed, looking at Salamon who was worrying over Veemon. She whimpered gently as she saw Veemon asleep and resting up. "Hmm, Veemon."

"Huh?" Veemon frowned as he awoke

"Veemon, you shouldn't be awake." Salamon spoke, trying to tuck him in, while she was also shivering

"Shalamon?" He blinked

"Yes, it's me." Salamon blushed, giving a small yet adorable sneeze

"Shalamon!" Veemon gasped, pulling her close seeing how cold she seemed

"B-But I'm-" Salamon shuddered, feeling Veemon's body heat.

"You need thish too." Veemon whispered, blushing even if the dragon shuddered at his cold

'Veemon.' Salamon thought gently and snuggled in close, hoping her fur could warm him "... I want to tell you something." She whispered, working up all of her courage

"What ish it?" He whispered back

"... I like you." she said simply, holding nothing back

"Y-You do?" Veemon blinked in shock. He thought his feelings were one sided.

"I was serious." She nodded

"Shalamon." Veemon whispered and hugged her close and kissed her

Salamon couldn't believe how soft Veemon's lips were, true there was a current size difference...but they were the same level and she kissed back. She cried and kissed back

'I-I'm kissing her/him. I really am.' The two thought kindly.

The team saw this and smiled sadly "Guess that's them." Upamon shuddered, trying to get warm.


*time skip*

Tai and Izzy had arrived at the usual spot...They were dreading what they were going to say. TK and Kari didn't need to be here for this...they knew what the score was. With the two where Agumon and Tentomon. At the park was Joe with Gomamon as well as Sora and Biyomon, ironically Matt was not there yet

"Not here." Tai frowned, noting Matt's absence.

"Band, running late." Joe informed

"Guess it can't be helped." Sora frowned. "So, what was so important that you had to call all of us?"

"... We should wait for Matt to get here first." Izzy mumbled

"Sorry." Sora apologised.

The group waited for Matt to come. Minutes passed but it felt like hours, the atmosphere was heavy like a lead brick. Tai and Izzy could barely speak because they wanted to make sure Matt didn't want to hear it from ANYONE else "Hey, sorry I'm late!" Matt waves, guitar over his shoulder "We had a small gig...Got some fans. W-hat's with the heavy look and feel?"

"Matt... Something bad happened." Tai frowned

"What? What 'bad'? What level of 'BAD' are we talking here?" Matt asked, getting worried and anxious.

"The Digimon Emperor...He's captured Gabumon." Izzy answered
