Chapter 20: How To Go Back
Davis was on Darktrailmon and was heading for the real world after what happened with Firemon and Metalmon.
'Sorry guys, but you're probably better off without me. I'm sure Tai, Ross, or T.K. will do a better job.' Davis thought. Then something caused Darktrailmon to rumble and Davis began to transform until he reached the station.
"Last stop everybody out." Darktrailmon said and Davis didn't know he was a cross between Agunimon and himself.
"The station." Davis said. Then Davis heard a noise and saw a transparent version of Firemon coming out of the tunnel. "Uh oh." He ran for the elevator. Come on open up." The elevator came and Davis headed up. When the elevator opened up people saw how Davis looked.
"What is that thing?"
"Is it Halloween already?"
"What are they talking about?" Davis said.
"Someone call animal control." People started surrounding him.
"Leave me alone." Davis said as he breathed fire and they all ran away. "I don't understand." Then he saw his reflection. "What happened to me!?" Davis took cover in a tree trying to turn back with his D3. "Come on you stupid thing, work. I want to be turned back."
"Hey Davis come on." He looked down and saw himself and Veemon.
"That's me and Veemon, but how?" Davis said. Then a transparent version of Firemon reappeared. "No, leave me alone." He jumped out and headed for his apartment.
"Hey Davis you're going to come to my birthday right." Jun said.
"Duh." Other Davis said.
"This is so weird." Davis said, then saw the calendar. "It can't be, it's the same time and day as I left."
"Hey Davis there's also that game of yours." Veemon said.
"I know Veemon." Other Davis said.
"That's right I had a big game. I missed Jun's birthday and that game." Davis said as he started to cry. "It seems like I let everyone down." Then he noticed the other him got the message from Ophanimon to head to the station and ran out.
"Davis what is this about?" Veemon said.
"I don't know, but I say we check it out." Other Davis said.
"I'm heading to the station." Davis said and had an idea. "That's it if I miss that train then I won't go to the digital world and everything should turn back to normal including me. Davis you got a train to miss." The other Davis and Veemon made it down to the bottom of his apartment.
"Okay if we hurry, we'll just catch the train." Other Davis said.
"Don't go." Davis said and that had the other Davis stop for a second.
"Davis, what's wrong?" Veemon said.
"I thought I heard someone say don't go. I think I'm hearing things." Other Davis said and started running to the station.
"I should have known, the others have told me I'm stubborn. Well I am this time because I have to stop myself." Davis said and went after himself and Veemon. While they were running Davis got in front of himself and pushed himself down. "Listen to me don't go." A car was about to hit him, but they jumped out of the way.
"Davis are you okay?" Veemon said.
"Yeah I think so." Other Davis said. The real Davis's shadow was shown, but they couldn't see him.
"Listen you can't go." Davis said, but they just kept going. "Oh man how am I going to stop myself?" The other Davis and Veemon made it to the train with the real Davis jumping on the roof and looked through the window. "Okay there I am with Ross." Then he noticed Tai and Agumon in the other cart. "Tai! I didn't even know he was on that train"
"Give me a break I'm doing my best." Other Davis shouted like when he saw how much time he had left. They arrived at the Shinbuya station and Davis and Veemon got out.
"Oh man where am I?" Davis said and spotted them jumping into the elevator. Tai tried to get in it, but it closed before he could get in. When he left Davis tried to pry the doors open. "Something's not right, if Tai was on that train and missed the elevator how did he get to that underground station in time." He got the doors opened and jumped down the shaft with Tai running down the stairs. Davis got the hatch open and saw himself, Veemon, Ross, Gotsumon, and Aquamon and reached the bottom. "This is my last chance."
"It's up to you, which train will you choose." Other Davis read the message Ophanimon sent him and Ross, Gotsumon, and Aquamon ran out. "Hey which one are you choosing?" The real Davis was about to stop himself until he had a thought.
'This is my last chance to stop myself, but if I do what will happen to the digital world and the others.' Davis thought as he imagined the others going from their spirits to their human forms and being destroyed all by the hands of the elements. 'I can't let that happen, I am a digidestine and a legendary warrior. It's my job to protect the digital world.'
"What do you say Davis?" Veemon said.
"Davis!" The real Davis shouted at himself. "What are you waiting for? You got to get on that train. The fate of the digital world depends on it. Go!" Davis and Veemon started running to the trains and got on one and noticed Ross and his digimon on the other train before they were separated by tunnels. "There I go." The transparent version of Firemon came up again.
"Are you going to run again?" Firemon said and Davis started getting angry with flames coming out.
"No I'm not. I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared of anything." Davis said as the flames got bigger. "Now MOVE!" He launched the flames and Firemon disappeared. When everything settled Davis saw Darktrailmon. "Darktrailmon?"
"Hey kid, how's it going?" Darktrailmon said.
"Darktrailmon you have to take me back to the digital world to the moment I left." Davis said.
"Are you sure kid because there's no going back?" Darktrailmon said.
"I'm sure, it's my job as a digidestine and a legendary warrior to protect the digital world." Davis said.
"Okay kid, all aboard." Darktrailmon said as he opened his doors and Davis went inside with Darktrailmon started moving.
"So long Mom and Dad, happy birthday Jun, and good luck to my team in the soccer game. I'll be back when I can." Davis said.
"Looks like he's learned his lesson. Good job kid." Darktrailmon said. Davis started imagining the others.
"Hang on guys I'm coming back. I now know the stakes to what will happen if I don't fight seriously. I thought we could beat the elements like any other enemy." Davis said. "But now I'm a new person. I will fight with all my might." He started charging changing into Agunimon. Darktrailmon came through a warp that lead him back into the digital world and Agunimon exited when Darktrailmon stopped.
"I'm back and the first thing I'm going to do is find the others." Agunimon said.
