Dark Mirror
Chapter 2
Nathan is still sitting at the computer bring up information that even Izzy didn't know was there, and it was his computer. Izzy is looking on in awe as symbols, images, maps, and information about places and things that he never knew existed while Tai was standing there pondering over what had happened to him only a few moments before.
[Flashback]
Tai found himself standing
in the saloon he had seen earlier, he was standing right in front of the
door and across the room from him he saw his old friend.
"Matt," he exclaimed
as he began walking towards Matt with his hand stuck out as if to shake
hands, "oh, sorry Matt. I forgot you were never much of the person
to shake hands."
"That's okay Tai."
came a voice that was distinctively Matt's, but also sounded very dark.
"Is something wrong
Matt?" he asked his friend with a look concern on his face.
"No, nothings wrong."
replied Matt sounding almost normal.
"Oh, okay. Matt
where have you been, we looked all over for you and Sora. Hey, where
is Sora anyway?" he Tai
"Oh she's around,
but we've been in the Digi-world Tai." replied Matt
"But we looked all
over the Digi-world and we didn't find you, but if you've been there then
maybe you can tell us what's been happening. We lost contact and
all we can do is see the map, which has been turning black." he explained
"It isn't good, some
human emerged and started calling himself the Overlord. He was using
the emperor's old stuff and has been taking over the digital world.
Many have tried to stop him but all have failed." explained Matt to answer
his's question.
"Do you know who he
is?" he asked
"I know who he is."
replied Matt with a wicked smile crossing his face.
"Who?" he demanded
nearly screaming.
"Come on Tai, is it
really that important?" asked Matt as he looked strait into Tai's eyes.
"Of course it is.
If someone is hurting digimon than we have to stop him." he replied as
he clenched his fists in anger.
"All right Tai, but
I have to tell you this first. Everyone has a dark side, in some
people it's stronger than in others, while in most the light side is stronger."
said Matt
"What's that suppose
to mean!" he said in a raised voice.
"I don't think I ever
had a light side." said Matt before he burst out an evil cackle.
"Your.." he said in
so much shock that he could only get out one word.
"That's right Tai,
I am the Overlord. And once I destroy you there will be no one strong
enough to defeat me." said Matt as his former friends coat suddenly turned
into a long cape with a blood red inside, he now had a large black sword
at his right side and a long black whip on the other. "But I am going to
give you a fighting chance and I also want to tell you something.
I've concurred a great deal of the Digi-world, many parts we didn't even
know about before, and I have much bigger plans. Once I finish with
the Digi-world Earth better watch out, because I will control it too.
Now I'm going to count to ten before I send my virus after you. You
can try to escape down the tunnel, but you won't. I am the only thing
that is keeping it at full speed, and once I unleash my virus it will begin
to return to the speed at which I keep it. I would suggest that you
start running." said Matt as he let out another evil laugh.
Tai knew the only
thing he could do was run so he went back out the doors and was once again
in the tunnel running away from Matt as fast as he could.
[End Flashback]
A small and steady
beeping brought Tai out of his trance, when he realized it was coming specifically
from the computer Nathan and Izzy were at he went over to investigate just
as Izzy popped the question he was about to ask.
"What's that beeping
about?" questioned Izzy just as Tai approached.
"It means that I got
a reply, let's see. It says 'Understood'." replied Nathan as he opened
the message and examined its content.
"That's it?" questioned
Tai as his voice showed he expected more.
"This form of communication
isn't as precise as e-mail. Only short and concise messages have
the best chance of getting through. And now I know that they got
the message." said Nathan as he closed out the program.
"Who did you send
the message too?" asked Izzy curiously.
"The digimon of my
friends and I." explained Nathan. At just that moment Amy entered
the room and walked over to Tai and the others.
"Mr. Kamiya.
I have a message for you." she said as she stopped just a few feet from
them.
Both Tai and Izzy
turned around to face her while she was completely unaware that there was
still someone sitting at the computer. "What is it Amy?" Tai questioned
looking at her.
"I have a message
stating that all other Digi-Corps offices are experiencing strange network
problems and also that they seem to now be able to access more information
on the digital world, almost as if someone is letting them." Amy said as
Tai began to ponder the information that she had just given him.
Just as he was about to tell her what to do he was interrupted.
"That's because someone
is letting them, and he's doing it to show them what will happen to them
if we can't stop him." Nathan spoke as he stood up and at hearing his voice
Amy's body immediately stiffened as if coming to attention. As she
stayed like this it cause Tai and Izzy to both become very confused especially
when she spoke directly to the man standing behind them.
"Mr. Pepper, what
are you doing here?" she asked still keeping her body very stiff.
"At ease Amy, I'm
here because these two are my friends." he explained as he placed his hands
on their shoulders. Her body visibly relaxed when he ordered her
'at ease', this was all it took for Tai to start asking questions.
"Woe woe woe, wait
a Digi minute. Amy how do you know Nathan and Nathan why did she
tense up like she's part of the military and your her general?" asked Tai
after waving his hand in front of his face.
"Amy knows me because
I was the one that sent her to be your secretary. I had heard of
the previous luck you've had with them and so I wanted to help you out
some. As to the military no, we're not part of the military but she
is my subordinate. Come on Tai, just because I don't work for the
government do you actually think I wouldn't have done quite a few things
to keep an eye on the things of the world, especially when it has to do
with the digital world. Amy is just one of my employees and I gave
her this assignment to give you a little break in your hectic schedule,
not to spy on you in case your wondering." explained Nathan but it still
didn't make Tai feel any better that she hadn't told him any of this.
What made him more upset was that he didn't figure it out himself; she
had been to nice for his luck.
"Sir, if I may.
Since you are here I will relay the message I got from headquarters moments
before I came down here." Amy said as she looked directly at Nathan.
"What is it?" Nathan
asked sounding a little sterner than Tai had when he asked her a question.
This sternness was normal though do to the fact that she did work for him
and he usually needed any information she had immediately.
"Headquarters is reporting
that dark energy is beginning to gather at areas around the world and the
levels are growing." Amy said as she reported to her true superior.
"We need to get back
to headquarters right away, Amy do you have you emergency transporter with
you?" he asked her.
"Of course sir, I
keep it on my person at all time as is standard procedure." she replied
looking as unmoved as ever as both Tai and Izzy stare at her. Tai
still dumbfounded that he hadn't figured it out before, and Izzy interested
in everything that she and Nathan were saying.
"Good, I'll tie it
into my PTD (Personal Transport Device). Tai grab Amy's hand and
Izzy grab my shoulder." Nathan ordered with Izzy immediately following
it but Tai was somewhat hesitant.
"Wait, I don't understand
everything that's just happened but I also can't just leave here.
I have to many things to do." he said as he looked at Nathan who was messing
around with a rectangular device he had pulled out of his pocket.
"Tai, you and I both
know that you don't have anything to do right now. For that matter
there's nothing you can do right now, you would only be a hindrance to
your people. But you can come with me and I will try to help explain
more of what is going on, especially what Matt had said about other areas."
Nathan said, as he looked directly at the young man that had come to be
his friend over the several years he had know him.
Tai knew what Nathan
had said was true; there was nothing he could do right now. His people
would do there jobs whether he was there or not, he lowered his head and
walked over to Amy and took her left hand. "All right."
"Good, now this may
feel somewhat strange but it usually does to those who have never used
it before." Nathan typed a few commands into the device he had in his hand.
They all then vanished in a small flash of light that was not even noticed
by everyone else in the room.
In what is one of the
darkest places in the Digi-world a castle sits on a hill. The castle
is made of black stone and is surrounded by a dark and dreary forest.
Inside the castle is very plain and poorly lit. The only thing that
gave the halls and rooms any color was the blood red carpet that was in
all of them. In the throne room was the worst, there were no windows
only a multitude of torches, candles and lanterns. On a large black
throne at the far side of the room sat Matt, he had his head in his hands
and was muttering to himself.
"How? How did
he survive? My plan was fool proof, there was no way anything could
have went wrong. And yet that is exactly what happened." Matt raised
his head and waived his left hand in front of him. Three floating
screens appeared in front of him, each replaying the scene of Tai running
down the VR tunnel. "Who could have sent that rocket." he mumbled as the
rocket came speeding up beside Tai. He watched as he got on and the
rocket took off. "Gennai? No, it couldn't have been. I destroyed
all of his equipment so there's no way he could have done that. Izzy?
He's smart but there's no way he could have thought of it and figured out
how to do it so quickly. Then who?"
A small digimon then
came in, it was a Gekomon and had its head bowed down. The most noticeable
feature on it was the Dark Ring around its leg. "Sire, we have located
two of the rebels." The small digimon said as it bowed before him.
Matt's face immediately took on a look of joy, most of the humans in the
Digi-world yielded to his authority, but there were those who resisted
his rule. These were mainly digidestined that were trapped in the
Digi-world when he had closed the gates, he had been hunting them down
ever since, but there were two specific rebels which had been pains in
his back side for quite some time now. One was the woman that he
had brought to the Digi-world with him to be his queen. She was with
him for some time, but then apparently the spell, which he had placed over
her, had worn off and she escaped one night with her digimon, a Biyomon.
The other was the man who had taken her in and trained her in the ways
to fight. She was now just as dangerous as her digimon could be;
the man that had trained her was Gennai. That was why Matt had attacked
his home and utterly destroyed it, so that he would no longer be a pain
to him, but it hadn't worked. If anything it caused him to become
more of a pain because that was when he organized the rebels into a fighting
force. Matt waived his hand again causing two of the screens to vanish
leaving only the center one. The scene on the screen changed to that
of a thin forest, on a small and barely traveled path were two running
humans. The female was behind the man; she had reddish-orange hair
and had a small pink bird flying just behind her. The evil smile
on Matt's face only grew larger as he saw the two people whom he hated
the most, the only person whom his hate was greater for was the one that
had survived on his day of revealing, Tai Kamiya. "Gather the troops, we're
going after them." Matt then proceeded to get off his throne and walk to
one of the rooms behind him.
"As you wish Sire."
replied the Gekomon as it rose and left the throne room.
With a small flash
of light Tai, Izzy, Nathan, and Amy appear in a small room. It had
banks of computers at the back with monitors on them. In the center
of the room was a large table; on the ends of it were slots for inputting
disks and CD's. On the front side of the room was a large glass window
that stretched the length of the room, beyond the window was an even larger
room but in front of the window there were more computers and stations
with people at them.
"Well guys, welcome
to our headquarters." as Nathan said this both Tai and Izzy were looking
around in awe at the amounts of equipment and people that they saw.
However, Tai was the first to speak up since Izzy was engrossed in what
one of the technicians were doing.
"This is amazing."
"Thanks Tai, I thought
you would like it. Now if you and Izzy will follow me we'll go and
see what my people have found out on what has happened." before Nathan
walked out the door he turned to Amy. "Report to station Amy." she nodded
her head in acknowledgment of his order and walked out the other side of
the room. After he had given the order he continued out the door
with Tai and Izzy close behind.
They entered the large
room that was beyond the glass of the other room. The room went down
hill as it went forward; the room was lined with rows of computers with
people manning each of them. At the front of the room were rows of
screens with one large one in the center. Images of maps and lines
of information were on the screens as people examined them. A young
woman with short brown hair suddenly came running up towards them from
the front of the room.
"Nathan, our people
are startin...woe a Tai."
"Kari?" Tai's face
showed both disbelief and shock. His little sister was here and it
sounded like she was working for Nathan too. "What are you doing here,
this was your day off of work."
"Uh, surprise Tai.
I work here too." she said very nervously as she saw the shock on her older
brothers face. She had been working with Nathan and the Guardians
for a while now while keeping it hidden from her brother and the rest of
Digi Corps. Now she was standing face to face with the one person
she respected the most and had probably broken his trust in how truthful
she was to him.
"You have some explaining
to do young lady." Tai said regaining his composure and giving her a stern
look.
"Tai I know you want
answers, and frankly so do I, I'm sure Kari will be willing to explain
everything latter but for right now we have other things to worry about."
said Izzy trying to calm down his friend.
Just as Tai began
to calm down a young man came up behind Kari. He had blond hair and
blue eyes and was wearing black pants and a dark green shirt. Suddenly
everyone was surprised as Tai leapt forward right for the young man, with
his hands going strait for his throat and yelling. "MATT!" As Tai hit the
other man they both went to the ground hard, Tai had his hands around his
throat choking him to death. Nathan and Kari were on Tai immediately
pulling him away from the younger man. "Let me go, I'm going to kill him."
"Tai?" the young man
choked out as he rubbed his sore throat. "It's me TK."
Recognition and shame
washed over Tai's face as he got a good look at the person he had attacked.
He hadn't gotten that good of a look at him before he jumped at him, all
he had seen was a person who looked a lot like Matt with the same blond
hair and blue eyes and wearing black pants and a dark green shirt.
It had been so long since he had last seen TK that he hadn't recognized
him. "TK, I'm so sorry."
"That's okay Tai,
but why'd you do it?" TK asked still rubbing his sore throat.
"It will be in the
briefing latter TK, right now I need to explain some things to Tai and
Izzy." Nathan said after putting a hand over Tai's mouth.
"Okay, see you later."
TK said as he started to walk away but then started to waiver and quickly
went for an open seat before he fell. "Or maybe not, I think Tai got me
a little harder than I thought." He was feeling dizzy as he rubbed the
back of his head where it had hit the ground.
"You just stay there
for now, we'll get someone up here from medical." TK just nodded at Nathan's
order and tried to stay in his seat. "Kari what were you saying?"
"Huh? Oh, were
starting to break through the layers to get a look at how bad things are."
she reported as she finished what she had started to say earlier.
"Wait what does she
mean by 'layers'?" Izzy asked, as he looked confused at what Kari had just
said.
"The layers of the
digital world. You see Izzy the area you know of as the digital world
is only one part of the whole, it is.." Nathan said just before Tai interrupted
him again.
"Joe?" Tai nearly
yelled as he saw another one of his most trusted friends here at Nathan's
base. Joe had been walking over towards TK and just before he got
there, Tai had spoke up.
"Tai. I didn't
know you were here." Joe said as he turned around to face the person that
had been a leader to him for a long time.
A tall and thing girl
with long pink hair came running in right behind Joe. "Joe there you are,
I've been looking all over for you...Tai!"
"Mimi? But I
thought you were in America." Tai was now in total shock, several of the
people he trusted the most were working behind his back for someone who
had quickly become one of his best friends. He then quickly turned around
to look at Izzy and gave him a nearly deathful glare and stuck his finger
right in his face. "Izzy you better tell me that you have had nothing to
do with this or I'll.."
"Look Tai I'm just
as surprised as you, I had no idea about any of this." Izzy was now waiving
his hands desperately in front of him trying to convince Tai he didn't
know.
"Alright, but Nathan
I want to know just who else is working here behind my back." said Tai
as he looked at Nathan.
"It's not that we
were working behind your back."
"It's just that you
never asked."
"Those voices." exclaimed
Tai as he heard the voices of a boy and girl.
"Allow me to introduce
you to my two computer expert," two chairs turned around to show a girl
and boy in their early twenties. The boy has short black hair and
the girl had long purple hair, "you know them as Ken Ichijouji and Yolie
Inoue and believe me Tai this is the extent of your friends that work for
me."
"Okay, now what were
you saying about layers?" Tai asked in a voice that sounded only partially
convinced.
"Well it's like...huh,
ahrg show it on the screen." a woman had came up to Nathan and whispered
something into his ear which caused him to look very annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Izzy
asked
"There's a disturbance
at the gate, and I think it's someone you know." he said in an annoyed
voice, the main center screen on the wall of screens changed its image
to show a large metal gate, there were two people there. One looked
the same age as Kari and the others while the other looked a few years
younger. The older one had a pair of goggles on his head and was
pounding on the gate with his fist.
'All right Kari I
know your in there, if you don't let me in there now I'm going to tell
Tai and your going to be in serious trouble.'
"Hey that's Davis."
exclaimed Tai as he saw the screen. "Didn't he have the day off to?"
"Yeah he did, and
unfortunately he drug Cody with him. I'm sorry Nathan I thought I
had lost him when I saw him following me." Kari apologized to Nathan whose
face didn't look as annoyed as before.
"It's okay Kari, he
was going to need to find out sooner or latter. Have someone from
security bring both of them here and if they ask any questions tell them
that they will be answered when they get here." Nathan ordered
"You got it." Kari
walked over to a phone on one of the desks and dialed up a number that
can be assumed to be security.
"Well from the few
times I've met Davis and Cody I know that Davis probably won't understand
a thing about the layers, and Cody will be able to catch up quickly on
what we've been talking about." Nathan said as he looked at Tai and Izzy.
TK, Joe and Mimi came walking over to the group with TK still looking a
little dazed. "How's TK?"
"He'll be fine, other
than a good headache for awhile." responded Joe
"Good, now we can
get started. Yolie bring up the layers program on the center screen."
the screen that had shown the buildings main gate shifted to show a large
circle. Inside the circle were several layers of other circles that
were each broken in to sections except for the center, which was a complete
circle. Floating above the main circle was what looked like another
layer that was broken up into five parts and each part was separated so
that they looked like they didn't belong together.
"Is that how the digital
world actually looks?" Izzy questioned as he stared at the screen.
"No, this is just
the easiest way we've found to explain how it is set up. Now for
the time being forget about those five sections that are separate from
the main circle. The outer circle is the area that you know as the
digital world, it is where all of your fights against the evil digimon
took place. The sections that are in the main circle are other areas
of the digital world that are usually kept separate. Each of the
areas represent an important part of Earths history and for most of them
digimon don't live there, only humans and animals of that specific era.
However, do to the fact that they are digital they are not normal animals
and humans. An example of these areas would be one that is from the
American old west, the Renaissance in Europe, or the rise of the Samurai
here in Japan. One thing you'll find interesting is that these areas
were not created like the digital world, even though they now exist in
it. All through time when important events occurred on Earth a segment
of that became separated so that it would be preserved, great heroes and
legends were also recreated here so that they would never be forgotten.
They always lived separate and never bothered each other, but when the
digital world was created those areas were integrated into it so that they
would then last forever." Izzy and Tai are both watching Nathan's demonstration
with great curiosity. They had no idea that the digital world was
so complex.
"So you mean people
like Amelia Earhart, Winston Churchill, and all kinds of legendary people
are actually living in the digital world? That's amazing, but why
isn't that center circle divided up like the rest of them?" Izzy was now
pointing at the center most part of the display.
"That Izzy, it the
very core of the digital world. Only the most powerful digimon in
the fight for good reside there. All through time there have always
been four powerful digimon that guarded the four areas of the digital world.
In my time they consisted of the large phoenix digimon know as Phoenmon,
next was a very powerful MetalSeadramon, third was Galdoamon who was a
very large tree digimon, forth and last was Tigremon he was a large and
powerful Tiger digimon. I believe that the four digimon guardians
of today might have some how descended from these four ancient digimon.
After all does Azulongmon not look similar to MetalSeadramon." explained
Nathan as the images of the four large digimon appeared on the screens
above the center one.
"So you mean there
have always been two sets of Guardians of the digital world?" Tai understood
more of it than he thought he would and it was answering a lot of his questions.
"Exactly." replied
Nathan
"Okay, now that you've
explained that what about those five areas that are above the outer circle
and how come they're all different colors?" Tai asked quite eagerly.
"This is where it
will get confusing." Nathan said. The five areas were indeed different
colors the two on top were white and black; the one on the left was green,
while the one on the right was red, and the one on the bottom was yellow.
"Now believe it or not but all life in the digital world, with the exception
of the areas created before it, came from these five areas. These
five areas represent the necessary things that make up life. That
black area is the world of darkness, you know it as the Dark Ocean, and
it is where all evil and darkness come from in the digital world and is
responsible for the original creation of virus digimon. That is not
the case today though, as you know any kind of digimon can be either good
or evil even if they are Virus, Data, or Vaccine. The white area
is the world from which dreams can come true; the younger digidestined
went there when they fought MaloMyotismon, it is the World of Wishes and
Dreams. The green area on the left is the World of Emotions, in it
all emotions are heightened and it is what gives digimon their strength
to digivolve, it is what helped in the creation of the crests because these
aspects also exist inside a person. The red area on the right is
the World of Spirits, in a sense this is the area in which digimon exist
before they are reborn, it is also what allows for the creation of new
digimon and new kinds of digimon. Last the yellow area on the bottom
is the World of Hope and Light, from this world the hopes of every living
creature on both Earth and the digital world are brought to life, it is
also the world from which the light of good is shone and is spread across
the world. This world is also where TK and Kari draw their greatest
strength. So you see, this is what Matt meant about more areas than
you knew about."
"There's Matt's name
again, what does he have anything to do with what's going on?" TK questioned
as Nathan finished explaining to Tai and Izzy
"Like I said TK, I'll
explain everything in the briefing, but for now all you need to know is
that your brother is now our newest enemy. He is the one responsible
for what has been going on in the digital world." TK looked shocked at
what Nathan had just said. His brother, someone whom he had looked
up to for so many years was now the enemy, but he wouldn't let this cause
him to slack at his duties. If it had affected anyone more he knew
it would have been Tai, he had been his best friend ever since they had
all gone to the Digi-world for the first time.
"Nathan, just what
other damage has Matt done?" Tai's voice was now very low and depressed
he had never realized how much existed in the Digi-world and how many people
could be in danger.
"Show them." Yolie
nodded her head in acknowledgment of the order. The outer circle
suddenly had what looked like a large black haze over it, over 75% of the
areas that were inside the main circle where now black and only separated
by how the lines were now white. "He has taken over most of the digital
world, now he doesn't know about some of the areas and unless he discovers
them they should stay safe. Other areas such as the others worlds,
with the exception of the Dark Ocean, and the digital worlds core will
always be safe because they are out of the reach of the darkness.
We must now be prepared for his threat, you should also be careful because
he will probably try to send someone after you and other digidestined around
the planet, he will go through with his threat and try to take over this
world too."
Two figures are running
through a barely warn path with a small figure flying behind them.
In the lead was a human male, he was tall and had his brown hair cut short.
He wore a light brown robe which had been torn in many places, on his back
were two swords which formed an 'X'. The second human was a female;
she was just as tall as the man and had long reddish-orange hair that was
tied together in the back so it stayed out of her way. She wore blue
jeans that showed she had been through many trials by how they were ripped
and one leg had a hole in the knee. The jeans were held up by a brown
belt, which also served to keep her red t-shirt tucked in. Over her
shirt she had a type of leather vest that had an array of tools hooked
to it. On the right side of her belt there hung a long dagger with
a gold handle that had a type of heart image on it, on the left side hung
a long sword with a matching handle on it.
"Are you sure we should
be traveling openly during the day like this Gennai? If any of his
spies see us we will have an army of digimon attacking us in no time."
said the girl with the orangish hair as she ran easily behind the man.
She was quite use to running and was in excellent shape, after all she
had to be with how much she fought evil.
"We have to Sora,
our informant said that since his plans to kill Tai on the Internet didn't
work he's going to send his best assassin after him on Earth. We
have to warn him and the only place that we might still be able to get
through is at the gate in the remains of Myotismon's castle, so we have
no choice but to get there as fast as possible and that includes running
in broad daylight." replied Gennai
"I know, it's just
that Matt has spies everywhere and we might...I was right look." a large
group of Devidramon were descending towards the humans. Beams of
red light shot out of their eyes causing large amounts of damage to the
area. A figure jumps off the lead Devidramon and lands right in front
of Gennai and Sora, the figure was Matt and he now had on a black shirt
and had his sword drawn at them.
"Well, if it isn't
the two humans that are my worst pains. I thought you knew better
than to travel in such an open area where you could be spotted. Now
you have two choices, serve me or Die!" Matt held his sword strait in front
of him pointing it at them. At his last words both Sora and Gennai
drew their swords.
"You know we'll never
serve you Matt." Sora said as she held her sword in front of her with both
hands.
"How many times do
I have to tell you I am the OVERLORD!" he lunged at Sora with his sword,
she in turn blocked it easily with her own. Sparks flew as she used
her own sword momentum to push Matt back several steps. "I see that you
have improved since the last time we fought Sora."
"It's only because
one day I know it will let me save your soul." she retorted still holding
her sword defensively.
"My soul, what makes
you think I still have one?" He began to approach Sora but Gennai stepped
in front of him.
"Listen to me, you
were once a good person. You possess the Crest of Friendship, you
can put off your evil ways if you only remember the good inside of you."
Gennai stood defensively holding both his swords in front of him.
"Out of my way, old
man!" Matt's voice was now seething with anger as he spoke through clenched
teeth.
"We have to face it
Gennai, there's nothing that we can do to help him. The only thing
we can do is face him together." Sora stepped to the right side of Gennai
with her sword drawn and gave him a reassuring look. Gennai looked
at her and nodded, he put one of his swords away and held the other in
front of him with both his hands.
"How amusing, you
two think that if you fight me together that you even have a chance of
winning. Your wrong." Matt held out his hand and a black wave of
energy shot out of it. Sora and Gennai struggled to keep their ground,
Biyomon was hanging on hard to Sora's leg. Due to the fact she couldn't
digivolve she had to leave the fighting to Sora, even though she hated
it because she couldn't protect her. Sora's right hand began glowing
red; she took it off her sword and opened it to give off her own wave of
energy. The red energy surrounded her and Gennai in an attempt to
fight Matt's own dark wave.
"I'm impressed Sora,
your powers have grown stronger as well. But they will not be enough
to save you." Matt's wave suddenly grew incredibly strong and over powered
Sora's. Sora, Gennai, and Biyomon are sent flying backwards as they
hear Matt laughing evilly. Matt approaches the downed heroes, his
sword drawn and pointing directly at Sora's neck.
"Go ahead and do it,
I will never serve you." Sora was on the ground and badly hurt, barely
able to get out those few words.
"Nothing will give
me greater pleasure." He raised his sword high in the air. "Now you die."
Just as he began to bring his sword down a large blast on his left cause
him to stumble. What was that! He looked up to see some
type of large airship heading towards him. I don't know who they
are but they will not spoil my revenge. He began to bring his
sword down again, just before it hit Sora it was shot out of his hands
by a red laser. "I guess you live for one more day Sora but mark my words,
the next time we meet will be your last." He quickly grabbed his sword
before he disappeared in a cloud of darkness.
Sora was the only
one still conscious, and barely at that, but she managed to look up at
the ship and had one last thought before she fell unconscious. Thank-you,
whoever you are. As the ship passed over the three unconscious
figures the disappeared in a flash of light before the ship increased speed
and left the area.
Sora wakes to find
herself lying in a bed in a strange and well lit room. She looks
over herself and nearly gasps. I don't believe it; it looks like
I was never in that fight. She finds that there is not even a
scratch on her, she then takes a good look around but doesn't see anything
familiar. Where am I? Could I be in that ship? But
if I am then where are Biyomon and Gennai. What if they didn't make
it, what if I was the only one that survived. I must have been out
a long time for all of my wounds to heal beyond sight. She was
now quite worried that she could be the only one left. "Hello, is there
anyone here?"
"Sora!" A flying pink
bird came flying around one of the room's corners.
"Biyomon your alive."
she said as she embraced the small bird in a big hug. "I was afraid that
I was the only one that survived."
"None of us would
have survived if it hadn't been for our hosts."
"Gennai." she said
as she gave him a hug when he approached the bed. "Oh, sorry." she blushed
as he stood back up strait.
"That's okay, you
are the digidestined of Love anyway. But you were hurt the worst
and so that is why we were already awake." he responded.
"How long was I out
anyway?" she asked as she looked up to him.
"Only a few hours."
he said as her face took on a very skeptical look.
"But there's not even
the slightest scratch on me." she said as she pointed to her skin.
"You can thank us
later." A small walking mammoth type digimon came walking around the corner.
Suddenly a small vine came down and smacked him right on the head. "Owe,
what'd ya do that for?"
"Because you know
better than to be joking around at a time like this, and right now we have
to help them get to the real world." A Floramon came around the corner
and retracted her vine from the mammoth's head.
"That's right." Sora's
face suddenly became very serious as she turned to Gennai. "We have to
get to Myotismon's castle."
"I'm afraid that's
not possible, the Overlord destroyed it a few days ago." said the small
mammoth. "But don't worry, we have a way to get you threw."
"No offence, but who
are you?" Sora asked as she looked at the small grinning mammoth, at least
she thought he was grinning.
"Oh, sorry.
My name is Tunskmon I'm the partner digimon of Nathan, one of the Digital
Guardians." he said
"The who?" she now
was very confused by this little digimon.
"I had completely
forgotten about them until today Sora, you see after you and Matt disappeared
I called the others back to help me wake up a group of fighters that had
been put to sleep long ago. They were called the Digital Guardians
and they were four powerful humans and their digimon." explained Gennai
"Exactly, now come
with us. We need to get you to the real world." said Tunskmon as
he began to walk out of the room.
"Don't worry, Gennai
will explain everything once you get there." said Floramon as she motioned
them to the door.
"Wait, what are you
going to do?" Sora asked as they followed them out of the room and into
a hallway.
"We have to rescue
all of the trapped digidestined digimon." replied the Floramon in a mater
of factly way.
"But they're guarded
by Matt's own digimon and they're all trapped in some sort of crystals."
protested Sora as she looked down at the small plant.
"We know, and that
Gabumon is one of the few digimon that don't have dark rings. As
for the crystals, they'll be easy to take care of. They're called
Data Crystals and we usually used them to trap evil digimon but somehow
he learned how to use them so that he could trap good digimon." replied
Floramon
"And besides, do you
think Gabumon likes being trapped in that dungeon. He may be the
Overlords digimon but he treats him like dirt, we'll make sure to get him
out of there too." said Tunskmon from the lead.
"Okay, I guess since
we all have something to do we'd better do it." Sora said as the small
group continued along the hallway.
There is a large table
around which most of the digidestined are seated. At the end of the
table was Nathan, on the right were Tai, Izzy, Davis, Cody, and Joe are
seated. On the left side are Kari, TK, Ken, Yolie, and Mimi.
They are all looking at Nathan who is going over several papers.
"Now, as you all know
the darkness has been spreading with incredible speed since 9:00 this morning.
Unfortunately for all of you we now know the person behind it all, your
former friend Matt." Nathan let this information sink in, even though they
wouldn't like it.
"But why would Matt
turn evil, I mean he's one of us." protested TK as he looked right at Nathan.
"Remember TK I'm a
digidestined and I had been under the influence of darkness, until you
guys saved me." Ken had placed a hand on his shoulder to try to calm him
down because he was not in the best mood since he first heard the news.
"Look, we don't know
how he got the way he is now but we will try to find out. Right now
I have Ken, Erin, and Jen briefing our other three bases, from this point
on all actions will be coordinated from this facility. We have some
more pressing concerns right now though, other than the threat from Matt."
Nathan began typing on the keypad next to him.
"What do you mean
'more pressing concerns', than Matt's threat? Is threatening to take
over the world not important enough for you?" Tai was looking strait at
Nathan and sounded very offended at what he had said.
"That's not what I
meant Tai," he was looking him strait in the eyes, "so far he hasn't sent
anything threw so right now we have to worry about what's going on here.
The dark energy is causing havoc with anything digital around it." Nathan
typed on a few keys and two holographic spheres showed up over the table.
The two spheres were rotating themselves as well as around each other.
"Now here's the display of what is going on here on Earth and in the digital
world. The globe that has the black areas on it is Earth; those black
areas show how far the dark energy has spread. For now it seems that
it has stopped spreading, I just wish we knew if that was a good thing
or if it is going to start up again. Now all those red areas on the
other globe are the areas of the digital world where Matt has the most
control, this data is really new since we've only started getting it a
few hours ago. Now watch what happens when the two globes overlap."
The globes became one and both images were still clearly visible.
The red areas were now contained inside the black areas.
"The areas overlap,
but what does that mean?" Izzy was staring intently at the display.
"It means that these
are the areas at which Matt's troops will most likely come threw first.
Right now they are weak points between the worlds, we will have to be extremely
careful and inform every digidestined on the planet. That is where
you will come in Tai, but if you could not mention any of this we would
be grateful." said Nathan as the image of the globe faded.
"But why not tell
them about you?" Asked Tai
"Because from your
meeting with Matt earlier it seems that he doesn't know about us, but I'd
be willing to bet he knows about you since he knew exactly where to send
that e-mail. If you don't mind though Tai I would like Kari to stay
here working until all of this is over, she's pretty good at thinking on
her feet and that's helpful around here." explained Nathan as Tai nodded
his head in understanding, he then pressed another button on the table.
This time the door opened and Amy walked through. "Amy will take you and
Izzy back to your office Tai, there you can do whatever you need to contact
other digidestined, then I'd suggest you go home and get a goodnights sleep."
"What are you going
to be doing?" Tai asked as he and Izzy got up and prepared to leave.
"We're only human
too, we just have a few things to take care of here and then we're all
going to be going home for the night too." Nathan said as he too got up
from his seat.
"Okay, but I want
to talk to you when you get home Kari." Tai said as he placed a hand on
Amy's shoulder.
"I'll try to explain
everything." she said as she smiled at her brother.
"Latter then Kari."
he said as he, Izzy and Amy disappeared in a flash of light.
"Everyone we might
as well get back to work, and as for Davis and Cody. I'm going to
have to ask that you go home and that you not tell anyone about this place
just like I asked Tai." Nathan said as he looked directly at the two that
had found their main base.
"Alright." Davis was
not his usually happy self but he could see the tense moment so he just
agreed verbally as Cody nodded his head.
"Good, everyone dismissed."
