Part 5:
"Tai and Sora are where?" Daisuke asked.
"The moon!" Matt said,"Where else could they be? It makes perfect sense!"
Matt, Akira, and T.K. were inside the Digi-Force HQ, staring at a communicator screen, where they could see the others in Geni's house.
"Sure!" Daisuke said,"They could be anywhere, so of course, they're on a sphere of lifeless rock. Makes perfect sense!"
"Confused!" Kari said,"I'm completely confused. Please explain how you came to this conclusion."
"Of course," Matt said,"With Seiji trying to muscle in on Apocalymon's territory, it makes sense he would go after Apocalymon's recent base, on the moon. The distance would explain why Sora hasn't been able to use her crest and give a psychic cry for help, but she did. One reached me, on a level so deep my subconscious had to let me know I had an incoming call!"
He moved the camera angle so the others could see the table he had etched a picture of the moon on. "Whether it was intentional or not because I'm the only other guy besides Tai that she felt close to."
"And just how close..." Joe said.
"...is close?" Mimi finished.
"Never mind that now!" Daisuke said,"Are you receiving anymore calls from Sora, unconscious or otherwise?"
"No," Matt said,"Which could mean nothing, or everything! She might have came to, sent a cry for help, and passed out again, or she and Tai broke out of the moon base, not knowing where they where, and Sora's broadcast was a fear boosted scream because they're out on the moon's surface, freezing and suffocating to death! And if that's the case, we'll never reach them in time!"
Tai pushed himself up from the ice cold ground. He saw that Agumon and Biyomon were helping Sora to her feet. They where out on the moon's surface, he was sure of that. He turned to see the looming space station. It was only a few feet, but it seemed like miles. Still, they had to try. They've been through too much, to die of suffocation.
They started walking, when Sora tripped and slammed her face into the ground. Tai grabbed her and started to carry her, when the two Digimon dropped a in front of them. Tai tried to picked them up too, but his mind was starting to slip. Without any air, he was beginning to lose conciseness. He dropped Sora as gently as he could, and was about to fall down, when suddenly he felt a whoosh of something jump into his lungs.
"Arrg!" he panted,"Air! We've got..."
"Ahukkh!" Sora and the Digimon coughed.
"Easy guys!" Tai said,"Slow, slow steady breaths."
"Gonna," Agumon said,"Gonna be sick."
Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw two figures walking towards them. "Well, well, well," Seiji said, "Isn't this cozy."
"Still," Matt said," If there's any shot, we have to try! We're going to the moon to rescue Ta..."
"No!" Daiskue said,"I don't want you hurling yourselves into whatever kind of danger awaits unprepared! Instead of having you as assets, we may have to rescue you as well! Come down here as quickly as possible!"
"Forget it!" Akira said,"I'm interested in confronting Seiji, not having to fight my way, out of a Digi-stronghold! Especially one where Apocalymon is staying!"
"If you want to strong arm us," Mechmon said,"Someone's gonna get hurt!"
"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!"
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"
The two Digimon stared down at Mechmon. "Like who?" Angemon asked.
Mechmon gulped. "Like me, probably, but that won't accomplish anything! You need us cooperative, not comatose!"
"Very well," Daisuke said,"At least wait for us to be ready."
"Fine." Akira said.
"We'll get our own mode of transportation. Geni's house out!"
"So now what?" Kari asked.
"You, T.K. and Digi-Force, will go to the moon and rescue Tai and Sora. The others will watch over Geni."
"But first we have to heal him." Mimi said, walking over to the door. "Apocalymon should be complete rested by now."
"Wondering how you can hear me?" Seiji asked as he looked over Tai and Sora. "Simple. Spacemon is capable of creating a certain amount of psychic energy! The same bubble that protects you from the moon's surface, is the same one that enables you to hear me. Oh, and Agumon, I wouldn't bother shooting a 'Peeper Breath' if I were you. It would just ricochet around in there. It wouldn't hurt you, or Tai, of course, but it might serious damage your companions!"
"What do you want from us, already?" Sora asked,"Reveange? For what? You say we did something to scar you when you were little, but, you're only what? two, three, years younger than us? What could we have done when we were all babies?"
"Don't bother asking him," Tai said,"His kind, doesn't need rhyme or reason beyond their own megalomania."
"'His kind'?" Seiji yelled,"Up on all the latest super villain psychology are we? You're so secure, Tai, always knowing that you are in the right. That you could never have brought this on yourself?"
Agumon was going to say something, but he started losing his breath.
"You're running out of air," Seiji said,"There's only so much in there, after all. But I'll tell you what, Tai, I'll offer you a chance. It is after all, the least I can do. And I always do the least I can do. In that respect, I take after you!"
"Well?" Mimi asked,"Are you just going to stand there and look menacing, or are you going to help us?"
They where all standing around Geni's bed. Their fallen mentor's chest was now almost completely covered in living black wire. Apocalymon stood over him. "I am just merely planning my strategy, you would not want me to rush into this, trust me!"
Apocalymon examined Geni's arm. "The virus has completely invaded everything from cardiovascular to neural. He is beyond medical help."
"But you can?" Izzy asked.
"Of course," Apocalymon said, taking a small metallic object from his belt," All it will require is this device, and approximately, ninety seconds."
He placed the device over one of the black cables, then put it back. "What did he just do?" Gatomon asked.
"I..I don't know," Kari said.
Suddenly, Geni's mouth pulled back in pain as a shower of black wires shot from his mouth. "He's expunging the virus!" Joe said,"No! He's...Apocalymon's making it worse! The virus in enveloping Geni!"
"Beg!" Seiji said," All you have to do is beg! I want you to beg with tears streaming down your faces. The way a child would plead with his parents. Say you need me. Say there's no one more important then me! Do it! Its your only hope!"
"Never," Tai said. The air was staring to run out, but he didn't care. "We don't trust you. We don't want your help! We'd rather die, then throw ourselves at the mercy of someone like you...."
"No!" Seiji yelled,"Get up! I order you too!"
Tai, Sora, Agumon, and Biyomon just laid there, passed out and soon to die. "Very well," Seiji said, regain composure of himself,"Follow me."
Spacemon nodded and walked with the bubbled that held Tai and the others trailing behind them.
The others were about to run to Geni's side, when Palmon used her Poison Ivy and wrapped everyone up. "Palmon!" Tentomon shouted,"What are you doing? You have two seconds to move or.."
"Or you'll screw things up is what," Mimi said," No offense."
Geni started to float in the air as the black cables completely enveloped him. There was a bright light that shot from Geni, then over to Apocalymon. For a few seconds nothing happened, then the light disappeared, and Geni slammed to the ground, the black cables, gone, and a small black, cockroach running away from Geni's ear.
"The operation," Apocalymon said, crushing the cockroach,"Is over! In case you're wondering, I accelerated the virus's growth beyond the point where it could replicate itself properly. It feeds on the data that we, as Digimon, and Geni, are made of. I stimulated it so radically that Geni became insufficient to sustain it. So it sought out additional nourishment and found me some what...unpalatable."
"As do we all!" Joe said,"You could have told us you were going to destroy it will terminal indigestion!"
"True, but I had no desire to. Let him sleep, he will be find, when he awakens."
"Thank you," Kari said,"You have our trust. Now, we must get to the moon quickly."
"That is not a problem," Apocalymon said, dropping a bunch of small device on the floor. They popped open and grew until the resembled space suits. "These will protect us from the environment of space. I also have a transporter able to bring us there!"
"Great!" Daisuke said as the others suited up. "Get there as quickly as possible. Matt and the others should be there to welcome you! Good luck!"
"Thanks!" Kari cried as they disappeared.
They reappeared in front of a giant tower with four beams from the top of the tower, heading towards the ground, making a dome. "What took you guys so long?" Matt asked. He and the others were standing in front of it.
"Scanners are clear." Apocalymon said, lowering his space suited arm. "Let's go!"
He was wrong. As soon as they walked through the dome, there was a flash of pain as they were sent flying backwards in a burst of electricity.
"What the?" Akira asked.," A gray force field? Undetectable by Apocalymon's scanners. But why am I the only one who got through?"
"Sorry to disappoint you," a figure below him, with great effort, " But what ever it was, it didn't get me or Gatomon either, at least, not as bad as it got the others."
"Kari?" Mechmon asked,"Which still doesn't answer the question, why us?"
"Hmm!" a voice boombed,"I had programmed the gene force field for the Kamiya DNA, I didn't think it would alow the sister through!"
"Seiji!" Akira said.
"But no matter!" Seiji was standing on a small balcony at the top of the tower. Tai, Agumon, Sora, and Biyomon were tied to the tower, and in the background, giant projectors replayed the scene where Tai gave his son to Sistermon, over and over again.
"How did we get though?" Akira yelled.
"Come now," Seiji said,"I would think the answer would be obvious by now. But let us chat, then. Let us talk, of time lost, and time gained, or twisted futures and lost pasts. Let us talk, Akira, of life and death!"
to be concluded...
DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT? WHO ARE AKIRA AND SEIJI? THE CLUES HAVE BEEN THERE SCINE PART ONE! FIND OUT NEXT!
