Authors note: My first chapter in this interesting little series was very hard to read as the italics didnt work... If the italics had worked it would probably have been easier to read. But in this chapter im going to put around the thoughts of the characters, so that it will be possible to tell what is thought and what is not. Hey, it rhymes! Anyways, enjoy.
Another authors note: I revised the first chapter, so ignore everything in the above paragraph excepting the fact that I am putting around the thoughts of the characters in this chapter.
In a far off world in a different galaxy... Tai woke up. I thought i heard something... He cautiously made his way to the edge of the temporary camp he and the others had made. It came from over here, I'm sure of it! He stood very still and was very quiet for a minute or so, listening carefully. Maybe it was just a dream. No, I heard something out here! It wasn't a dream. I heard it... Then he heard something move in a bush nearby. "Hello?" He asked tentatively. "Who's out there? I know you're there." His question was met with a disturbing silence. "Look, I don't want any trouble. If you don't mean to do us any harm, we won't hurt you." After a brief silence, a soft, uncertain voice called out of the darkness. "Hello..." I wonder who that is... sounds like a girl. I don't think she's here to hurt us. But then again all I know about her is what her voice sounds like. Her voice sounds familiar... "Hi. Are you human? Or are you some type of digimon? What's your name?" There was another unnerving moment of silence before the reply came. "I'm a human. My name is... Mimi! Haha! I fooled you, Tai!" "Mimi, what were you doing out here? Why'd you do that?" I can't believe she'd deliberately try to scare me like that... dumb girl! "Well, I woke up and heard a strange noise. I came out here to try to figure out what it was, then i saw that you weren't in our little camp and decided to look for you. Then i saw you over here and decided to have a little fun." Mimi smiled brightly. She woke up and heard a strange noise... "Was I still asleep when you first woke up, before you went to look for whatever made the noise?" "Yes, I think so." Mimi giggled. "You were asleep over there, next to Matt." Tai blushed. "So?" He asked her, still blushing. "Oh, come on, Tai. You think i haven't noticed the fact that you seem to always be near Matt? Why, it's almost as if you like him. Or maybe even... love him." Tai blushed furiously and shrugged helplessly at Mimi. "Is it that obvious?" "Well, I don't know about the others, but I can certainly tell. When did it happen?" When did what happen, Mimi?" "When did you start liking Matt?" Tai glared at Mimi. "Not so loud!" He said. "Do you want someone to hear?" "Maybe." She replied with a smile. Tai looked behind him to make sure everyone was still asleep. Everyone was sleeping except for Agumon. Agumon walked over to Tai and sat down next to him. "Hi, Tai! Why are you and Mimi over here?" "Because we're talking." "About what, Mimi?" Tai looked nervous. "Nothing much, Agumon. I'm just trying to find out when Tai started liking Matt, that's all." Tai looked at Mimi angrily. "Well, has he told you?" :No, he doesn't seem to want to answer." "I think he started liking Matt the same time he started liking everyone else." "Not that kind of like, Agumon. Tai loves Matt." Tai gave Mimi another angry glare. Mimi just smiled. "I don't get it. Tai loves Matt?" "Yes." Mimi giggled. "I'll bet Tai wants to marry Matt. Tai probably has dreams about him and Matt..." Agumon looked confused. Tai knocked Mimi to the ground, threw Agumon back into the camp and ran. "Tai, where are you going? And why'd you throw me?" But Tai was too far away to hear Agumon, and Agumon couldn't yell or he'd wake the others.
The next morning... The digidestined and the digimon woke up. "Where's Tai? Agumon, have you seen Tai?" Matt asked. "Not since last night. Last night he was talking to Mimi and then he ran off that way." Agumon said, pointing at the path Tai had taken the previous night. "Why was Tai talking to Mimi last night when everyone else was asleep?" "Well, Mimi said she was trying to figure out when Tai started liking you, and then..." Mimi cut Agumon off. "Uh, you must have been dreaming, Agumon." She said with a nervous look on her face. Matt was curious. It had become apparent that she was hiding something. "Mimi, what are you hiding?" "Nothing, Matt! Why would I be hiding something?" Matt looked at Mimi suspiciously. "What were you and Tai talking about last night. Tell me. If you lie, I'll know, so tell the truth." Mimi stared at Matt. "Okay, I'll tell you. I was trying to figure out when Tai started liking you." "What do you mean, Mimi?" "I mean Tai is in love. With you." The shock showed on Matts face. Mimi smiled happily. Agumon looked confused. Joe, Izzy and Sora were trying to figure out what was going on unsuccesfully. TK was staring ahead blankly, oblivious to everything. And the other digidestined was laughing maniacally as she watched Tentomon shock Biyomon. Tai was, of course, nowhere near the others. Tai was looking at a picture of Matt he had kept in his pocket. Palmon was attempting to fly. Patamon was looking cute, as usual. Gomamon was trying to digivolve. And Gabumon was attempting to throw patamon off of a cliff. Matt then asked Mimi a question "Where is Tai?" Mimi looked around. "Well, he was going that way." She said, pointing. "So my guess is that he was headed for that strange looking mountain over there." Matt ran off in the direction of the strange looking mountain Mimi had pointed to. That mountain was all that was left of Mount Tantiss...
At the foot of Mount Tantiss... Tai put the picture of Matt back into his pocket and then prepared to climb the mountain. He was going up to the top of the mountain to think for a few days. He needed to figure out what to do. Tai looked in the general direction of the camp and then began to climb. Tai climbed up several yards before becoming exhausted. This mountain is almost completely vertical. Im amazed i was able to get this far! Tai was about 15 feet up the mountain, and it had taken him about an hour to get there. Maybe climbing this mountain wasn't such a great idea after all. Well, it looks like it should get easier a few feet up... Tai resumed climbing and found that he was right. After he climbed about 2 more feet, it became very easy to climb the mountain. Tai put about 60 feet between him and the ground, and then heard a voice. It was Matts voice! "Tai, what are you doing up there? Get down here!" Matts voice startled Tai so much that he fell. He fell right off of the mountain. He fell 60 feet to the ground, but just before he hit the ground, Matt caught him! "I've got you, Tai!" Matt put Tai down and looked at him. "Thanks, Matt." Matt continued to stare at Tai. "Tai, were you talking to Mimi last night?" "Yes. I heard a noise and saw Mimi and so I talked to her." "Were you talking about anything in specific, Tai?" "Yeah, kind of..." "And what was that?" "Well. obviously Mimi has already told you, so why are you asking me?" "Because I want to hear it right from your mouth. I have to, to know for sure that she was telling the truth." "Well, she was, Matt. I love you." "So it is true. Well, come on. Let's go back to camp." Matt grabbed Tais arm roughly and pulled him up into a standing position.
Back at the camp after Matt and Tai arrived... Mimi approached Tai. "Are you mad at me, Tai?" Tai glanced at her. "No, I'm not." "Good, I'm glad." Mimi said. Then Matt walked over to Tai. He pushed Mimi aside, grabbed Tai, and kissed him. Tai stared at Matt in surprise. Matt sat down next to Tai. "Why did you do that?" A bewildered Tai asked. "Why do you think I did it? I did it because I love you." Did Matt just say that? Matt said that... To me? I must be dreaming. "Matt? Pinch me." Matt pinched Tai. "Harder. I didn't wake up." "You think this is a dream, Tai?" "Well, I don't see how it could possibly be real. You just kissed me and said you love me." "Well, I hate to break it to you, but this isn't a dream." Hahahaha! I've fooled Tai. He thinks this is real now. He'll wake up soon. Oh, look! It's time to turn this into a nightmare. "Tai, I have something to tell you." "What is it?" "I'm really a girl!" The nightmare creature posing as Matt then transformed into a girl. Tai screamed like a little girl. "What's the matter, Tai? You don't like me this way?" The creature that was standing before Tai then transformed again. It changed into Bakemon! "Oh no! It's Bakemon! A ghost digimon capable of looking like a ghost digimon!" Tai ran away still screaming like a little girl. Bakemon laughed. "He screams like a little girl! Ahahahaha!!!" Bakemon chased after Tai. Just before Bakemon caught Tai, Tai woke up. Tai tried to scream, but found that he couldn't. Why can't I scream? It feels like something is covering my mouth... Tais eyes adjusted to the darkness and Tai saw that Matt was kissing him. Tai jumped up and backed away. This is another dream, isn't it? Well, I'm not going to let Bakemon get me this time! Unfortunately for Tai, this was not a dream. It was reality. And that was the real Matt kissing him. But Tai didn't know that, so he began hitting Matt, thinking he was really Bakemon. "Take that, Bakemon!" "Tai, stop hitting me! It's me, Matt! I'm not Bakemon!" Tai took a moment to think and realised that Matt was right. This wasn't a dream. "I'm sorry Matt. I thought this was another dream. I had a dream that you were kissing me, and you told me that you love me, and then you turned into a girl. And then you turned into a ghost digimon called Bakemon and started chasing me. So when I woke up and saw you kissing me, I thought I was having another dream." Matt looked embarrassed. "Well, this isn't a dream Tai. This is for real. I love you." Tai hit Matt again, and Matt screamed in pain. "Sorry, I just had to make sure you were really you." Matt kicked Tai between the legs and watched as Tai fell over onto his knees. "Sorry, I was just making sure that you were real, Tai." Funny, Matt. Very funny. Matt then pulled Tai up off the ground and began kissing him again. Tai and Matt didn't notice that the other digidestined and the digimon had woken up and were watching until Mimi said "Okay, you guys, you've been kissing for like 5 minutes now. Think you can seperate your mouths so we can start walking?" Tai and Matt turned and saw everyone staring at them. They both started blushing. "Let's go." Tai said with a red face. They all began walking towards Mount Tantiss when all of a sudden Sora heard something. "What was that? I just heard a noise from over here behind this bush!" The bush began shaking, and then a girl with blonde hair wearing a pink dress stepped out. "Hiiiiiiiii!" She said. She walked over to Tentomon and looked at his shell. "Oooooooh, what does this button do?" And the girl pushed on Tentomons shell. "Stop pushing on me!" The girl jumped into the air and screamed. "It's a giant bug!" Tai walked over to the girl and asked "What's your name? And what are you doing here?" "My name is Deedee." The girl informed him. "And i used my brothers big metal thingy and I ended up here." Tai knew there weren't any humans around here except for him and the other digidestined, so he thought that she was Bakemon. "Agumon, attack her!" Tai said. Then Agumon digivolved into SkullGreymon and used his dark shot attack on Deedee. Deedee was too slow to dodge it, so she got hit. When the dust cleared, Deedee stared at SkullGreymon angrily and used her dance attack on him. She began dancing around SkullGreymon and soon she had done so much damage that he reverted back to Agumon and passed out. "It's not nice to shoot big black thingies at people." She told him. Patamon flew over to Deedee. "Ooh, what a cute little... um... bunny rabbit... thing." She looked confused. "What are you?" "I'm a digimon! And I'm Patamon!" Deedee smiled stupidly. "Oh, okay!" Deedee picked up Patamon and threw it at Tai. "Catch!" Deedee yelled as she threw Patamon. Tai caught Patamon and set him down. "Why are you doing this? Leave us alone!" Tai said to Deedee. This girl is even more deadly than a dark master! Deedee began to cry. Then another voice was heard. "Moooooooon Cosmiiiiiic Poweeeeeer!" "What the fuck was that?" Deedee yelled. Deedee ran and hid behind Tai "Save me, you stupid bastard! Make the lady with the funny voice stop!" Tai slapped Deedee and she began crying even more. "I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of pizza pie, I will punish you! By the way, you wouldn't happen to have any pizza, would you?" If it has anchovies, I will kill you. A small black cat jumped in front of Sailor Moon and said "Serena, you aren't asking them for food, are you? You've already eaten the worlds entire supply of chocolate. You shouldn't be eating so much. You're going to get fat!" Sailor Moon sat on the cat. The cats muffled cries for help were barely heard. "Stop it! You're hurting the kitty!" Deedee screamed as she began hitting Sailor Moon. "What's going on here?" Sora asked. "It seems as if there is a dimensional rift somewhere around here, and several lifeforms are coming into the digiverse through it." Izzy said. "Apparently, Sailor Moon fights crime. Shes a superheroine. And this girl, Deedee, is from another universe. I've located several of these time rifts, or Sario rips, in many different universes. Theres one in Sailor Moons universe, two in Deedees universe, and many others in several other universes. There are about 12 here on this island, and it looks like more will be appearing later." Joe looked at Izzy. Hes very intelligent, and very good looking as well. I wonder if he is gay... Joe looked away from Izzy and asked "So why are these Sario Rips appearing?" Izzy answered his question. "Well, my theory is that someone in a galaxy far, far away has created these rips in time/space to do exactly what's being done. I think that whoever it is that made these rips is trying to open gateways to different universes so that he can travel through. Why he wants to do that, I don't know. Maybe he wants to conquer us all." That's really comforting... Then, all of a sudden, another rip appeared in front of them. It began to glow a strange mixture of green, red and yellow, then turned completely white. Four humanoids stepped through the portal, and the portal closed behind them. One of them was an alien that looked human except for the green skin and the patches of pink and the antennae on his head. He was the first one to speak. "Where are we? What is this place?" Mimi walked up to the strange being and asked him what his name was. "My name is Piccolo. Who are you and how did we get here?" Izzy explained what had happened to the being, who told them he was a Namek. Then one of the humans who had come through the portal spoke. "My name is Goku." He informed them. "So... what you're saying is that someone has opened up a bunch of these portals in different universes and is planning to go through them and conquer each one?" "Well, I think that's what's going on. It's just a theory though... One more thing." Izzy said. Tai looked at him and said "Why is it that every time you say 'one more thing' that I want to throw up?" Izzy continued explaining his theory. "If my theory is correct, everyone who comes through these portals was forced to go through the portals. They didn't just see it and decide to go through, but rather the portals appeared right on front of them and the gravitational force of the rip dragged them through it into a different universe. So there will probably be more people coming into this universe and many others. Some of us might be transported out of this universe, too." Joe had been listening carefully to what Izzy was saying, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He just had to do it... He couldn't wait any longer!
I could make you suffer and wait to see what Joe couldn't wait to do... But I don't think I will. After all, I've got a lot more to do before this chapter is finished. So back to the story...
Joe ran towards Izzy. Goku readied himself for battle in case Joe was going to attack, but Joe bypassed the saiyan. Joe ran up to Izzy and hugged him. Then Joe kissed Izzy right on his lips. Joe then regained control over his emotions and his face turned bright red. Deedee stared at Joe and then said "Eeeeeeewwww! The little blue haired boy kissed the computer nerd kid!" Tai whispered into Matts ear "I always suspected Joe was gay." Matt nodded in agreement. Izzy recovered from the shock of being kissed by Joe. Joe just kissed me... That must mean that he likes me! At least, I hope it does... Izzy looked at Joe. "Joe? Why'd you kiss me?" Joe blushed even more. "I kissed you because... I did it because I love you, and I just couldn't hold back my feelings for you any longer." Deedee made a gagging motion. Tai, overwhelmed by the display of emotion, began kissing Matt. Deedee said "Eeeeeeeeewwww!" And hid behind Mimi. But Mimi, who was a lesbian, couln't refrain from kissing Sora, who also turned out to be a lesbian. Deedee shrieked in terror and ran over to TK and hid behind him. TK was kissing that other girl though, so Deedee ran away again. Deedee ran and hid behind Goku. "You aren't going to kiss anyone, are you Goku?" She asked, looking at all the people kissing. Goku didn't answer. "Goku? Goku?" Deedee looked up and saw that Goku was kissing the the third guy that had come through the portal, whos name was Trunks. Deedee screamed again and ran again. She ran and hid behind Piccolo, but ran off again after he started kissing Sailor Moon. "Why the hell is everyone kissing?!?" Deedee yelled, and turned around so she could run away. Vegeta was standing right in front of her though. He tried to kiss Deedee, but she hit him and ran back over to Matt and Tai who had stopped kissing. She then pressed a small button on a small cylinder she had concealed somewhere in her dress. Deedee disappeared in a brilliant flash of light. Tai and Matt resumed their kissing.
Three hours later... Joe stopped kissing Izzy. Tai stopped kissing Matt. Everyone else stopped kissing. "Okay, we have to get moving now, if we're going to get to Mount Tantiss before dark." And so everyone gathered their stuff and began walking towards Mount Tantiss once again. Of course, Tai and Matt were holding hands, Joe and Izzy were holding hands, TK and the other girl (I forgot her name, okay?) were holding hands, Mimi and Sora were holding hands, Piccolo and Sailor Moon were holding hands, and Goku and Trunks were... well, Goku apparently saw no reason to take his tongue out of Trunks' mouth. Eventually everyone arrived at Mount Tantiss. Here we are, back at Tantiss... I hope we don't try to climb it. If Matt hadn't caught me, I would have died! Everyone stopped holding hands and looked up at Mount Tantiss. Well, everyone except Goku and Trunks. Gokus tongue was still in Trunks' mouth, and Trunks had a hand placed on Gokus... backside. "How high do you think it goes?" Joe asked. "Well, we'd have to climb it to find out." Izzy replied. "Could we not climb it? I tried to climb it earlier today. If Matt hadn't caught me, I'd just be a stain on the ground now..." Piccolo had a suggestion. "We could fly you to the top of the mountain. We can do that. We have special powers that let us fly. It's really cool." And Piccolo kept babbling on about his really cool ability to fly while Goku STILL hadn't stopped kissing Trunks. Tai volunteered to be the first to be flown to the top of Mount Tantiss. Piccolo finally shut up about being able to fly and flew Tai to the top of the mountain. Finally, after everyone was at the top of the mountain... (Goku, you can stop kissing Trunks now. Goku. Goku... GOKU!!! STOP KISSING TRUNKS!!! Thank you.) And so, once everyone was at the top of the mountain, Matt looked around and found the entrance. "It looks like we can go inside this mountain, if we can manage to move these big boulders out of the way. Goku grabbed Patamon and threw him at the boulders, smashing them all to pieces. (No, I'm not talking about Patamon, I meant that the boulders got smashed to pieces.) "Now we can go inside." Goku said as he recovered the poor, hurt little Patamon from the rubble. Sailor Moon ran over to the door and said "Moon Cosmic Dream Super Duper Whoopedy Doo Magical Special Crystal Sugar Spice and Everything Nice Power Twinkle Bell!" And then the door opened. Everyone walked inside, being very careful not to make any noise that might attract attention to them. "What do you think happened here?" Sora asked. Izzy took a quick look around. "It looks as if a bomb went off in here. Or maybe something very evil was destroyed in here. If it was evil enough, the evilness of the evil creature would cause an explosion of negative energy, which could also be responsible for the damage done here." Tai took the lead and everyone continued walking through Mount Tantiss. "This looks kind of like the inside of the death star from that movie Star Wars. See, that over there looks like one of the consoles, and that over there looks like the tractor beams energy supply thing that Obi Wan turned off so the Millenium Falcon could get out of the death star. And look over there, it's... Holy shit!" Everyones attention was drawn to Joe. "What? What did you see? What happened?" Mimi asked. "I swear I just saw Darth Vader walk by over there! He was there! I saw him!" Joe led the others to the spot he thought he had seen the dark lord. I know I saw him over here... It couldn't have been my imagination, could it have been? Maybe it was all this Star Wars stuff... Maybe it's making me see things. Besides, Darth died at the end of 'Return of the Jedi,' remember, Joe? "I was sure I saw him..." Joe said uncertainly. Tai quickly glanced around once again. "Well, I don't see him around here. It's probably just this place, it's giving all of us the creeps. Let's just keep moving. The sooner we get done exploring in here, the sooner we can get out." So they continued walking. A few minutes later... Goku started kissing Trunks again! HA! I bet you thought I was going to say Joe saw Darth again, didn't you? Well, guess what? He did.
"I saw Darth again! He was right over there! He had his lightsaber out, too!" "Joe, you're seeing things. Darth Vader is a fictional character, and besides, he died at the end of 'Return of the Jedi,' remember?" Izzy told Joe. "But if Darth Vader is here, that would explain the damage. Maybe the Emporer died here, and your theory was right. Maybe these are the remains of the second death star, and when the emporer died, that negative energy did all this damage. It is possible. And as for Darth, maybe he didn't die. Maybe he faked his death." Izzy thought for a moment. I suppose anything is possible. And I've always wondered where George Lucas came up with the idea for Star Wars. Maybe Joe is right, and Darth Vader is alive, in this mountain, stalking us! Izzy began to look nervous. "Tai, what if Joe is right? What if that whole Star Wars thing is real? What if Darth faked his death? What if he's out there right now, watching us, waiting for the right time to kill us?" The uneasiness spread throughout the group. Not everyone was scared at the thought of Darth being alive, though. The digimon didn't know what a Darth was. Agumon tried to figure out what was going on. "Tai, what's a Dark Fader?" "It's Darth Vader, Agumon. And he's a guy in a black suit with a black cape and a black mask and a black helmet... Basically he's a guy who dresses in black, breathes funny, and has a glowing sword called a light saber." Agumon thought for a minute, processing the information. "Oh, you mean like that guy over there?" He asked, pointing at an open doorway. The entire group looked where Agumon was pointing and, just before the door closed, saw the back of a man wearing a black, shiny helmet, a black suit, and a black cape. And he was carrying a glowing, red lightsaber. Then the doors closed, and everyone was left feeling very vulnerable. "Well, there's no point in staying here. We should keep moving. If we stay here, Darth will know exactly where we are and he'll be able to find us easily." Tai pointed out. "Yes, but maybe Darth is expecting us to get away from here because now we know he knows we're here, so if we stay here, he'll go somewhere else to look for us and we'll be safe for a little while." Izzy countered. Tai began to feel confused. "But maybe he knows that we think that since he knows we know he knows we're here, we think he would go somewhere else to look for us because we'd think that he would know that we know he knows we're here and so we would stay here hoping to trick him by staying here when we think that he thinks we're somewhere else." Everyone looked at Tai in awe. Matt was the first to speak up. "Tai, that made absolutely no sense." "I know. But you have to admit it does make an interesting theory." :Uh... Yeah, I suppose it might, if it made sense and we could understand it." A now confused bunch of people, digimon, and a Namek walked deeper into the mountain. A lot of the stuff inside the mountain had been destroyed, but some things appeared to be in fairly good working order. They approached a hall of doors. TK picked a door and they all went through it. They found themselves on a narrow trail on the side of the mountain. Once they were all outside, they began following the trail up the mountain. Then TK heard a strange noise. The others listened and were soon able to hear it as well. They all looked up to the sky, and watched as 8 lightsabers fell directly in front of them on the trail. Each lightsaber had a name inscribed on it. After examining the lightsabers, they discovered that there was a lightsaber with Izzys name on it, one with TKs name on it, one with Soras name on it, one with Mimis name on it, one with Matts name on it, one with Joes name on it, One with Tais name on it, and the last one had an inscription that was hard to read. After looking it over carefully, Izzy read it out loud. "The inscription on this lightsaber says 'This lightsaber belongs to: the girl whos name the author forgot.' That must mean you." He said, and handed the lightsaber to the girl whos name the author forgot. Then a Sario Rip appeared in front of the four Dragon Ball Z characters, and they disappeared into it, never to be seen or heard from again (or at least not until the next chapter). So, with the group down to just the digidestined, the digimon, and Sailor Moon, they continued up the trail. After about an hour of following the trail, it began to get dark. TK got scared because he's a little wuss, and so he stayed close to his brother. Tai stayed close to Matt, too. Not because he was afraid of the dark because hes a little wuss, but because he loved Matt and therefore wanted to be close to him. Tai reached out and held Matts hand. Mimi tried to find Sora so she could hold her hand and almost fell down the mountainside. She eventually found Sora and held her hand. A few minutes and several dozen times of almost falling off the mountain, they arrived at a door which led back inside the mountain. Tai led the way into the mountain. Matt shoved his wussy little brother away from him and then they all continued walking further into the mountain. They arrived at a control room. "Hey, I could hook my laptop up to this computer!" Izzy exclaimed. Joe assisted Izzy in connecting his laptop to the computer, and then Izzy switched the laptop on. "Hey, I got an email!" He said, opening the email. "It's from someone who calls himself G.A.T. They must be initials. I wonder what they stand for... Anyways, the email basically says 'hello, I see you've found Mount Tantiss. Please don't touch anything, and I will be there as soon as i can. Avoid anyone who happens to be wearing black in there, unless you want to die before I can get to you.' And then it's signed Thrawn. That must be what the T stands for." All of a sudden, the power to the computer was cut off. "What happened, Izzy?" Tai asked. "I'm not sure. I think it was this Thrawn guy that emailed me. Or it was Darth Vader. Or maybe theres a storm outside and it's somehow cut off the power to the computer. But before the computer lost power, I was able to get a map of the inside of the mountain. It's not a complete map, but I've got most of the inside of the mountain on the map." He unhooked his laptop from the computer and brought up the map on the screen. See, we entered over here, in the power generation room. Thats what Joe saw that he said looked like that tractor beam thing was. It was a power generator. But, according to my data, only three of the original 20 power generators were still functioning before we got here. Now I'm guessing that only two work, since the power to the computer has been cut off. And take a look at the doors. They all rely on power from those generators to work. So if we don't stop whoever is destroying those generators, we will all be trapped in here forever!" Tai walked over to the door opposite the one they came through and tried to open it. "Izzy, the door won't open!" He tried the door they had come through. "This one won't open either! Whoever cut off the power to the computer cut off the power to the doors too!" Then someone began to talk, someone that wasn't in the room. The voice was coming from an intercom that was located high up on one of the walls, just below the ceiling. The voice said "You cannot escape from there. I have shut off the power to the doors. Now your only hope is to come to the dark side." Joe thought for a few seconds and said "We can't go to the dark side, you locked us in here. You need to fix the power generator so that we can get out of here so we can go to the dark side." The intercom was silent. Then "I have fixed the power generator. Now come to the dark side!" Tai and the others opened the door and exited the room. "Hello? Is this thing on? I said, come to the dark side! Well? I'm waiting. Hurry up and come to the dark side!!! Hmmm... They must have escaped."
In the cloning room... "Wow, what are these things?" Izzy asked. "They look like giant cylinders." Joe said, stating the incredibly obvious. "I know that, Joe, but what I want to know is what they're used for. I seem to remember seeing something like them once. I think it was a cartoon. It was called... Let me think... Oh, yeah, it was called Dexters Lab. It's about a boy named dexter and his giant laborotory. I saw some cylinders like these in his lab. But I can't remember what they were used for." TK looked around and found a lot more cylinders, but all of them were damaged. "Matt, do you think we could fix these?" TK asked. "I don't know, ask Izzy. He seems to know more about these things than any of us." Joe examined the cylinders closely. "These seem familiar to me, too. But I didn't see them in a cartoon. I read about them in a book. It was a Star Wars book. I think it was part of a trilogy, written by Timothy Zahn. Hmmm... Izzy?" "Yes, Joe?" "What did you say was the name of that guy who emailed you?" "I think it was Thrawn. It was sent by G.A.T., which I think are initials, and it was signed 'Thrawn.'" "G.A.T.... That must be Grand Admiral Thrawn! I think this is all starting to make sense now... Mount Tantiss. This is where Joruus C'baoth was..." Joe was cut off by a bright red light. An old man in a brown robe steped out from behind one of the cylinders. The man, although old, was very muscular, and he had a white beard that reached to about the middle of his chest. "Someone said my name. Someone called me." Joe had a look of horror on his face. "In the book, that man right there is the clone of a jedi master named Jorus C'baoth. If you'll listen carefully you'll notice that the clones name has an extra u, making his name Joruus instead of Jorus. He has all the powers of a jedi, and is mentally unstable. And, worst of all, he works for Grand Admiral Thrawn, who controls a lot of the remnants of the Imperial forces!" "So you're saying this is a bad guy?" "Yes, Matt, he is a very bad bad guy." Joruus heard Joe say that he was mentally unstable and became angry. "Nobody calls me mentally unstable! I will kill every last one of you!" And Joruus shot bursts of purplish lightening from his fingertips at the digidestined. The digidestined and their digimon ran for the nearest door, but Sailor Moon stepped forward to confront the evil Jedi master. "I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I shall yell a lot of really funny things like "Moon cosmic dream action super duper whoopedy doo power' and punish you!" Joruus took one look at her and laughed. Sailor Moon got ready to do battle with the evil clone. "Moon Cosmic Dream Super Duper Whoopedy Doo Magical Special Sugar Spice and Everything Nice Action Crystal Twinkle Bell Power!" At this, Joruus burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. "Stop laughing, or I will be forced to shout more amusing yet really stupid things at you!" Joruus tried his best to stop laughing. "N-no, not t-that!" He said, trying to control his laughter. "I-i'll s-st-stop! J-just don't d-do that a-anymore!" Sailor Moon then threw a barette at Joruus, and he began laughing again. "I-I'm s-s-sorry! It's j-just s-so funny!" Sailor Moon got very angry. "How dare you laugh at me? Super Special Glitter Makeup Power!" Joruus laughed so hard his side began to hurt. "P-please, s-stop! Stop it, I'll b-be good!" Sailor Moon then said "Alright, you stupid piece of shit! I'm getting really pissed off here! Super Special Sparkling Stretchy Spandex Power!" Joruus couldn't manage to control his laughter any longer and fell to the ground, laughing. Sailor Moon looked at him evilly. "Since you can't seem to stop laughing, I'm going to have to... GIVE YOU A FACIAL!" Joruus stopped laughing immediately and looked at her with terror on his face. "You wouldn't! Even you wouldn't be that cruel! No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Then Sailor Moon dragged Joruus into the shadows, never to be seen or heard from again (At least not until the next episode.)
In the hall just outside the door to the cloning room... "Has anyone seen Sailor Moon?" Joe asked. "No, she went and fought that clone guy." Sora answered. "So I don't think we should wait around for her. She probably isn't going to come looking for us, and even if she does, I doubt it'll be all that soon. And don't forget, Darth Vader is still out there somewhere, and he's probably gonna be a pain in the ass and try to kill us." Mimi looked around the hall. "Well, there are two doors here. Which one do we go through?" "Is there anything written on the doors?" Joe questioned. "I don't think so... Oh, wait, here's something!" "What does it say, Mimi?" Tai queried. "It says 'DANGER' and then theres something else written under that, but I can't mae it out. It's too small." Izzy took a look at the writing. "Hmmm... I think it says 'DANGER, Emporers Throne Room.' What do you think it means?" "It's obvious. That is Emporer Palpatines throne room. Of course, since he died, it is Joruus' throne room. Unless Sailor Moon killed him, in which case It's Darths throne room. Or, in other words, we should not go through that door." The others agreed with Joe and so they went through the other door at the end of the hall. "Hey, look over here! Do you know what this is?" Joe asked the other digidestined. The others looked it over and couldn't figure out what it was. "It's a ysalimiri! Thrawn used these! The create bubbles that push back the force around them." Joe attatched the small cylinder with the ysalimiri inside to his pants. "Now as long as we're by the ysalimiri, Darth and Joruus can't use the force to hurt us. Lightsabers are a different thing though. Lightsabers! I almost forgot! We have lightsabers!" The digidestined pulled out their lghtsabers. "With lightsabers, digimon, and a ysalimiri, we should be perfectly safe. Unless Thrawn drives by in a Super Star Destroyer and blows the place to pieces." Everyone, human and digimon alike, got ready to sleep. Tai mysteriously ended up next to Matt, Joe somehow ended up sleeping by Izzy, Mimi was next to Sora, and of course TK was next to that other girl whos name the author can't remember. A few minutes after everyone was asleep, a Sario Rip appeared and dragged the digidestined and their digimon into it. The rip ejected them into a laborotory, and still they slept. A voice was heard by all those awake, which are Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, the powerpuff girls, the professor, and Dexter, saying "Transfer complete." Then all those who were awake were knocked unconcious by a mysterious force.
One hour later... "Hello? Are you awake? Oh, good. Your friends have been awake for several minutes now. You are the last one to wake up." Tai woke up and saw a small red haired boy standing over him. "Who are you? Where am I?" "Well, my name is Dexter, and this is my laborotory. Your friends tell me your name is Tai. So, welcome to my lab, Tai." "Thanks. I guess. What happened?" "Well, a friend of mine, Blossom, has a horrible disease, and my computer told me that only a digimons blood could cure her. Or I'm wrong and she has TSA, and using digimon blood will kill her... But we are going to try digimon blood. I told my computer to find a digimon so we could use its blood to cure Blossom, and then there was this light, and then glowing, and 'wow!' and 'transfer complete.' Then we woke up and found you guys." "That clears things up a lot. So your friend needs a digimons blood or she'll die, huh?" "Yes, that is correct." "Well, which digimon are you going to use?" "I volunteered, Tai." Agumon informed Tai. "Dexter already took some of my blood, and now he's going to use it to cure Blossom." "Well, as long as you're all right with it, I'm all right with it." "Thank you, Tai. Now, computer, what exactly do we do with the blood?" Dexter asked. "You must inject the digimon blood into her blood stream, Dexter." Dexter grabbed a needle full of digimon blood and walked over to Blossom. "Well, here goes." Dexter inserted the needle into Blossoms arm and injected the digimon blood into her blood stream.
Another hour passes by and... Blossom woke up. "I feel a lot better now." Bubbles and Buttercup cheered. Heero began kissing Duo. Trowa slipped his tongue into Quatres mouth. Wufei stared at some data on Dexters computers screen. Blossom flew around the lab out of joy. Izzy was examining some of Dexters experiments. Joe was trying to get Izzy to notice him so that he could kiss Izzy. Tai was kissing Matt. Mimi was staring at Sora. Sora was taking a shower. With Mimi. TK was playing with Deedee. The other girl whos name the auther can't remember was hiding in the shadows, thinking up evil schemes. The professor was unsuccessfully trying to get Wufeis attention. Dexters dad was watching football. Dexters mom was somehow managing to balance on the very tips of her shoes and wash the dishes WITH HER EYES CLOSED!!! Milliardo was thinking about Wufei with no clothes on. 'He' was using Milliardos bug to find out what Milliardo was thinking about. Princess was begging her dad for more money. The green guys were sitting at a table doing nothing. Mojo Jojo was perfecting his best plan to destroy the powerpuff girls ever. Fuzzy Lumpkins was taking ballet. Sailor Moon was having a very hard time getting Joruus to stay still while she painted his fingernails and gave him a perm. Joruus was getting his fingernails painted and getting a perm. Sedusa was wondering why the author keeps writing a sentence telling what each person is doing. The author was deciding to get on with the story. Blossom had recovered in only an hour. Digimon blood sure works fast. Dexter thought. "So, what are we going to do now?" Then, at that very moment, Monkey came back into the lab. "Monkey, I see you found out that you were a little late in answering a call for help." Monkey threw a banana at Dexter. "Ow! Hey, why did you do that?" Then Monkey began to... digivolve? Monkey digivolved into... Mojo Jojo! "Muju must have made a clone of Monkey and set a timer on it so that it would destroy itself and therefore create a miniature rip in time/space, transporting Mojo into the lab!" Everyone looked at Dexter. Mimi spoke first. "That didn't make any sense. It made a bit more sense than Tai did when he was arguing with Izzy whether to stay or go after we saw Darth, but it still didn't make any sense." "It doesn't matter if it made sense or not, just get Miji!" Bubbles and Buttercup flew towards Mojo, but Blossom stayed behind since she had gotten a disease the last time she fought Mojo. Bubbles used her eye beams, but missed Mojo. Mojo ran around in the lab, wrecking everything he could. "I will destroy Dexters laborotory and then you will not be able to cure my diseases anymore! I will destroy you, powerpuff girls!" And then, a Sario Rip opened right in front of Mojo, and he was sucked into it. The rip closed and Mojo was gone. "I wonder what happened to Mojo." Bubbles wondered. "Oh, Damn! What is he went into a different universe where there are a lot of really powerful villains, and maybe he'll get back here and bring a bunch of them with him! If that happens, we're screwed!" "Oh, fuck! You're right, Bubbles!" Blossom said. "But... Maybe he'll get transported to a universe full of superheroes and they'll throw him in jail."
What will happen to Mojo? Will he be trapped in a world full of superheroes? Will he bring reinforcements back from a universe full of villains? What are Milliardo and the other villains planning to do next? Where is Darth Vader? What happened to Joruus C'Baoth? Will good win, evil lose, and love conquer all? Tune in next time for the next exciting episode of When Cartoons Collide!
Another authors note: I revised the first chapter, so ignore everything in the above paragraph excepting the fact that I am putting around the thoughts of the characters in this chapter.
In a far off world in a different galaxy... Tai woke up. I thought i heard something... He cautiously made his way to the edge of the temporary camp he and the others had made. It came from over here, I'm sure of it! He stood very still and was very quiet for a minute or so, listening carefully. Maybe it was just a dream. No, I heard something out here! It wasn't a dream. I heard it... Then he heard something move in a bush nearby. "Hello?" He asked tentatively. "Who's out there? I know you're there." His question was met with a disturbing silence. "Look, I don't want any trouble. If you don't mean to do us any harm, we won't hurt you." After a brief silence, a soft, uncertain voice called out of the darkness. "Hello..." I wonder who that is... sounds like a girl. I don't think she's here to hurt us. But then again all I know about her is what her voice sounds like. Her voice sounds familiar... "Hi. Are you human? Or are you some type of digimon? What's your name?" There was another unnerving moment of silence before the reply came. "I'm a human. My name is... Mimi! Haha! I fooled you, Tai!" "Mimi, what were you doing out here? Why'd you do that?" I can't believe she'd deliberately try to scare me like that... dumb girl! "Well, I woke up and heard a strange noise. I came out here to try to figure out what it was, then i saw that you weren't in our little camp and decided to look for you. Then i saw you over here and decided to have a little fun." Mimi smiled brightly. She woke up and heard a strange noise... "Was I still asleep when you first woke up, before you went to look for whatever made the noise?" "Yes, I think so." Mimi giggled. "You were asleep over there, next to Matt." Tai blushed. "So?" He asked her, still blushing. "Oh, come on, Tai. You think i haven't noticed the fact that you seem to always be near Matt? Why, it's almost as if you like him. Or maybe even... love him." Tai blushed furiously and shrugged helplessly at Mimi. "Is it that obvious?" "Well, I don't know about the others, but I can certainly tell. When did it happen?" When did what happen, Mimi?" "When did you start liking Matt?" Tai glared at Mimi. "Not so loud!" He said. "Do you want someone to hear?" "Maybe." She replied with a smile. Tai looked behind him to make sure everyone was still asleep. Everyone was sleeping except for Agumon. Agumon walked over to Tai and sat down next to him. "Hi, Tai! Why are you and Mimi over here?" "Because we're talking." "About what, Mimi?" Tai looked nervous. "Nothing much, Agumon. I'm just trying to find out when Tai started liking Matt, that's all." Tai looked at Mimi angrily. "Well, has he told you?" :No, he doesn't seem to want to answer." "I think he started liking Matt the same time he started liking everyone else." "Not that kind of like, Agumon. Tai loves Matt." Tai gave Mimi another angry glare. Mimi just smiled. "I don't get it. Tai loves Matt?" "Yes." Mimi giggled. "I'll bet Tai wants to marry Matt. Tai probably has dreams about him and Matt..." Agumon looked confused. Tai knocked Mimi to the ground, threw Agumon back into the camp and ran. "Tai, where are you going? And why'd you throw me?" But Tai was too far away to hear Agumon, and Agumon couldn't yell or he'd wake the others.
The next morning... The digidestined and the digimon woke up. "Where's Tai? Agumon, have you seen Tai?" Matt asked. "Not since last night. Last night he was talking to Mimi and then he ran off that way." Agumon said, pointing at the path Tai had taken the previous night. "Why was Tai talking to Mimi last night when everyone else was asleep?" "Well, Mimi said she was trying to figure out when Tai started liking you, and then..." Mimi cut Agumon off. "Uh, you must have been dreaming, Agumon." She said with a nervous look on her face. Matt was curious. It had become apparent that she was hiding something. "Mimi, what are you hiding?" "Nothing, Matt! Why would I be hiding something?" Matt looked at Mimi suspiciously. "What were you and Tai talking about last night. Tell me. If you lie, I'll know, so tell the truth." Mimi stared at Matt. "Okay, I'll tell you. I was trying to figure out when Tai started liking you." "What do you mean, Mimi?" "I mean Tai is in love. With you." The shock showed on Matts face. Mimi smiled happily. Agumon looked confused. Joe, Izzy and Sora were trying to figure out what was going on unsuccesfully. TK was staring ahead blankly, oblivious to everything. And the other digidestined was laughing maniacally as she watched Tentomon shock Biyomon. Tai was, of course, nowhere near the others. Tai was looking at a picture of Matt he had kept in his pocket. Palmon was attempting to fly. Patamon was looking cute, as usual. Gomamon was trying to digivolve. And Gabumon was attempting to throw patamon off of a cliff. Matt then asked Mimi a question "Where is Tai?" Mimi looked around. "Well, he was going that way." She said, pointing. "So my guess is that he was headed for that strange looking mountain over there." Matt ran off in the direction of the strange looking mountain Mimi had pointed to. That mountain was all that was left of Mount Tantiss...
At the foot of Mount Tantiss... Tai put the picture of Matt back into his pocket and then prepared to climb the mountain. He was going up to the top of the mountain to think for a few days. He needed to figure out what to do. Tai looked in the general direction of the camp and then began to climb. Tai climbed up several yards before becoming exhausted. This mountain is almost completely vertical. Im amazed i was able to get this far! Tai was about 15 feet up the mountain, and it had taken him about an hour to get there. Maybe climbing this mountain wasn't such a great idea after all. Well, it looks like it should get easier a few feet up... Tai resumed climbing and found that he was right. After he climbed about 2 more feet, it became very easy to climb the mountain. Tai put about 60 feet between him and the ground, and then heard a voice. It was Matts voice! "Tai, what are you doing up there? Get down here!" Matts voice startled Tai so much that he fell. He fell right off of the mountain. He fell 60 feet to the ground, but just before he hit the ground, Matt caught him! "I've got you, Tai!" Matt put Tai down and looked at him. "Thanks, Matt." Matt continued to stare at Tai. "Tai, were you talking to Mimi last night?" "Yes. I heard a noise and saw Mimi and so I talked to her." "Were you talking about anything in specific, Tai?" "Yeah, kind of..." "And what was that?" "Well. obviously Mimi has already told you, so why are you asking me?" "Because I want to hear it right from your mouth. I have to, to know for sure that she was telling the truth." "Well, she was, Matt. I love you." "So it is true. Well, come on. Let's go back to camp." Matt grabbed Tais arm roughly and pulled him up into a standing position.
Back at the camp after Matt and Tai arrived... Mimi approached Tai. "Are you mad at me, Tai?" Tai glanced at her. "No, I'm not." "Good, I'm glad." Mimi said. Then Matt walked over to Tai. He pushed Mimi aside, grabbed Tai, and kissed him. Tai stared at Matt in surprise. Matt sat down next to Tai. "Why did you do that?" A bewildered Tai asked. "Why do you think I did it? I did it because I love you." Did Matt just say that? Matt said that... To me? I must be dreaming. "Matt? Pinch me." Matt pinched Tai. "Harder. I didn't wake up." "You think this is a dream, Tai?" "Well, I don't see how it could possibly be real. You just kissed me and said you love me." "Well, I hate to break it to you, but this isn't a dream." Hahahaha! I've fooled Tai. He thinks this is real now. He'll wake up soon. Oh, look! It's time to turn this into a nightmare. "Tai, I have something to tell you." "What is it?" "I'm really a girl!" The nightmare creature posing as Matt then transformed into a girl. Tai screamed like a little girl. "What's the matter, Tai? You don't like me this way?" The creature that was standing before Tai then transformed again. It changed into Bakemon! "Oh no! It's Bakemon! A ghost digimon capable of looking like a ghost digimon!" Tai ran away still screaming like a little girl. Bakemon laughed. "He screams like a little girl! Ahahahaha!!!" Bakemon chased after Tai. Just before Bakemon caught Tai, Tai woke up. Tai tried to scream, but found that he couldn't. Why can't I scream? It feels like something is covering my mouth... Tais eyes adjusted to the darkness and Tai saw that Matt was kissing him. Tai jumped up and backed away. This is another dream, isn't it? Well, I'm not going to let Bakemon get me this time! Unfortunately for Tai, this was not a dream. It was reality. And that was the real Matt kissing him. But Tai didn't know that, so he began hitting Matt, thinking he was really Bakemon. "Take that, Bakemon!" "Tai, stop hitting me! It's me, Matt! I'm not Bakemon!" Tai took a moment to think and realised that Matt was right. This wasn't a dream. "I'm sorry Matt. I thought this was another dream. I had a dream that you were kissing me, and you told me that you love me, and then you turned into a girl. And then you turned into a ghost digimon called Bakemon and started chasing me. So when I woke up and saw you kissing me, I thought I was having another dream." Matt looked embarrassed. "Well, this isn't a dream Tai. This is for real. I love you." Tai hit Matt again, and Matt screamed in pain. "Sorry, I just had to make sure you were really you." Matt kicked Tai between the legs and watched as Tai fell over onto his knees. "Sorry, I was just making sure that you were real, Tai." Funny, Matt. Very funny. Matt then pulled Tai up off the ground and began kissing him again. Tai and Matt didn't notice that the other digidestined and the digimon had woken up and were watching until Mimi said "Okay, you guys, you've been kissing for like 5 minutes now. Think you can seperate your mouths so we can start walking?" Tai and Matt turned and saw everyone staring at them. They both started blushing. "Let's go." Tai said with a red face. They all began walking towards Mount Tantiss when all of a sudden Sora heard something. "What was that? I just heard a noise from over here behind this bush!" The bush began shaking, and then a girl with blonde hair wearing a pink dress stepped out. "Hiiiiiiiii!" She said. She walked over to Tentomon and looked at his shell. "Oooooooh, what does this button do?" And the girl pushed on Tentomons shell. "Stop pushing on me!" The girl jumped into the air and screamed. "It's a giant bug!" Tai walked over to the girl and asked "What's your name? And what are you doing here?" "My name is Deedee." The girl informed him. "And i used my brothers big metal thingy and I ended up here." Tai knew there weren't any humans around here except for him and the other digidestined, so he thought that she was Bakemon. "Agumon, attack her!" Tai said. Then Agumon digivolved into SkullGreymon and used his dark shot attack on Deedee. Deedee was too slow to dodge it, so she got hit. When the dust cleared, Deedee stared at SkullGreymon angrily and used her dance attack on him. She began dancing around SkullGreymon and soon she had done so much damage that he reverted back to Agumon and passed out. "It's not nice to shoot big black thingies at people." She told him. Patamon flew over to Deedee. "Ooh, what a cute little... um... bunny rabbit... thing." She looked confused. "What are you?" "I'm a digimon! And I'm Patamon!" Deedee smiled stupidly. "Oh, okay!" Deedee picked up Patamon and threw it at Tai. "Catch!" Deedee yelled as she threw Patamon. Tai caught Patamon and set him down. "Why are you doing this? Leave us alone!" Tai said to Deedee. This girl is even more deadly than a dark master! Deedee began to cry. Then another voice was heard. "Moooooooon Cosmiiiiiic Poweeeeeer!" "What the fuck was that?" Deedee yelled. Deedee ran and hid behind Tai "Save me, you stupid bastard! Make the lady with the funny voice stop!" Tai slapped Deedee and she began crying even more. "I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of pizza pie, I will punish you! By the way, you wouldn't happen to have any pizza, would you?" If it has anchovies, I will kill you. A small black cat jumped in front of Sailor Moon and said "Serena, you aren't asking them for food, are you? You've already eaten the worlds entire supply of chocolate. You shouldn't be eating so much. You're going to get fat!" Sailor Moon sat on the cat. The cats muffled cries for help were barely heard. "Stop it! You're hurting the kitty!" Deedee screamed as she began hitting Sailor Moon. "What's going on here?" Sora asked. "It seems as if there is a dimensional rift somewhere around here, and several lifeforms are coming into the digiverse through it." Izzy said. "Apparently, Sailor Moon fights crime. Shes a superheroine. And this girl, Deedee, is from another universe. I've located several of these time rifts, or Sario rips, in many different universes. Theres one in Sailor Moons universe, two in Deedees universe, and many others in several other universes. There are about 12 here on this island, and it looks like more will be appearing later." Joe looked at Izzy. Hes very intelligent, and very good looking as well. I wonder if he is gay... Joe looked away from Izzy and asked "So why are these Sario Rips appearing?" Izzy answered his question. "Well, my theory is that someone in a galaxy far, far away has created these rips in time/space to do exactly what's being done. I think that whoever it is that made these rips is trying to open gateways to different universes so that he can travel through. Why he wants to do that, I don't know. Maybe he wants to conquer us all." That's really comforting... Then, all of a sudden, another rip appeared in front of them. It began to glow a strange mixture of green, red and yellow, then turned completely white. Four humanoids stepped through the portal, and the portal closed behind them. One of them was an alien that looked human except for the green skin and the patches of pink and the antennae on his head. He was the first one to speak. "Where are we? What is this place?" Mimi walked up to the strange being and asked him what his name was. "My name is Piccolo. Who are you and how did we get here?" Izzy explained what had happened to the being, who told them he was a Namek. Then one of the humans who had come through the portal spoke. "My name is Goku." He informed them. "So... what you're saying is that someone has opened up a bunch of these portals in different universes and is planning to go through them and conquer each one?" "Well, I think that's what's going on. It's just a theory though... One more thing." Izzy said. Tai looked at him and said "Why is it that every time you say 'one more thing' that I want to throw up?" Izzy continued explaining his theory. "If my theory is correct, everyone who comes through these portals was forced to go through the portals. They didn't just see it and decide to go through, but rather the portals appeared right on front of them and the gravitational force of the rip dragged them through it into a different universe. So there will probably be more people coming into this universe and many others. Some of us might be transported out of this universe, too." Joe had been listening carefully to what Izzy was saying, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He just had to do it... He couldn't wait any longer!
I could make you suffer and wait to see what Joe couldn't wait to do... But I don't think I will. After all, I've got a lot more to do before this chapter is finished. So back to the story...
Joe ran towards Izzy. Goku readied himself for battle in case Joe was going to attack, but Joe bypassed the saiyan. Joe ran up to Izzy and hugged him. Then Joe kissed Izzy right on his lips. Joe then regained control over his emotions and his face turned bright red. Deedee stared at Joe and then said "Eeeeeeewwww! The little blue haired boy kissed the computer nerd kid!" Tai whispered into Matts ear "I always suspected Joe was gay." Matt nodded in agreement. Izzy recovered from the shock of being kissed by Joe. Joe just kissed me... That must mean that he likes me! At least, I hope it does... Izzy looked at Joe. "Joe? Why'd you kiss me?" Joe blushed even more. "I kissed you because... I did it because I love you, and I just couldn't hold back my feelings for you any longer." Deedee made a gagging motion. Tai, overwhelmed by the display of emotion, began kissing Matt. Deedee said "Eeeeeeeeewwww!" And hid behind Mimi. But Mimi, who was a lesbian, couln't refrain from kissing Sora, who also turned out to be a lesbian. Deedee shrieked in terror and ran over to TK and hid behind him. TK was kissing that other girl though, so Deedee ran away again. Deedee ran and hid behind Goku. "You aren't going to kiss anyone, are you Goku?" She asked, looking at all the people kissing. Goku didn't answer. "Goku? Goku?" Deedee looked up and saw that Goku was kissing the the third guy that had come through the portal, whos name was Trunks. Deedee screamed again and ran again. She ran and hid behind Piccolo, but ran off again after he started kissing Sailor Moon. "Why the hell is everyone kissing?!?" Deedee yelled, and turned around so she could run away. Vegeta was standing right in front of her though. He tried to kiss Deedee, but she hit him and ran back over to Matt and Tai who had stopped kissing. She then pressed a small button on a small cylinder she had concealed somewhere in her dress. Deedee disappeared in a brilliant flash of light. Tai and Matt resumed their kissing.
Three hours later... Joe stopped kissing Izzy. Tai stopped kissing Matt. Everyone else stopped kissing. "Okay, we have to get moving now, if we're going to get to Mount Tantiss before dark." And so everyone gathered their stuff and began walking towards Mount Tantiss once again. Of course, Tai and Matt were holding hands, Joe and Izzy were holding hands, TK and the other girl (I forgot her name, okay?) were holding hands, Mimi and Sora were holding hands, Piccolo and Sailor Moon were holding hands, and Goku and Trunks were... well, Goku apparently saw no reason to take his tongue out of Trunks' mouth. Eventually everyone arrived at Mount Tantiss. Here we are, back at Tantiss... I hope we don't try to climb it. If Matt hadn't caught me, I would have died! Everyone stopped holding hands and looked up at Mount Tantiss. Well, everyone except Goku and Trunks. Gokus tongue was still in Trunks' mouth, and Trunks had a hand placed on Gokus... backside. "How high do you think it goes?" Joe asked. "Well, we'd have to climb it to find out." Izzy replied. "Could we not climb it? I tried to climb it earlier today. If Matt hadn't caught me, I'd just be a stain on the ground now..." Piccolo had a suggestion. "We could fly you to the top of the mountain. We can do that. We have special powers that let us fly. It's really cool." And Piccolo kept babbling on about his really cool ability to fly while Goku STILL hadn't stopped kissing Trunks. Tai volunteered to be the first to be flown to the top of Mount Tantiss. Piccolo finally shut up about being able to fly and flew Tai to the top of the mountain. Finally, after everyone was at the top of the mountain... (Goku, you can stop kissing Trunks now. Goku. Goku... GOKU!!! STOP KISSING TRUNKS!!! Thank you.) And so, once everyone was at the top of the mountain, Matt looked around and found the entrance. "It looks like we can go inside this mountain, if we can manage to move these big boulders out of the way. Goku grabbed Patamon and threw him at the boulders, smashing them all to pieces. (No, I'm not talking about Patamon, I meant that the boulders got smashed to pieces.) "Now we can go inside." Goku said as he recovered the poor, hurt little Patamon from the rubble. Sailor Moon ran over to the door and said "Moon Cosmic Dream Super Duper Whoopedy Doo Magical Special Crystal Sugar Spice and Everything Nice Power Twinkle Bell!" And then the door opened. Everyone walked inside, being very careful not to make any noise that might attract attention to them. "What do you think happened here?" Sora asked. Izzy took a quick look around. "It looks as if a bomb went off in here. Or maybe something very evil was destroyed in here. If it was evil enough, the evilness of the evil creature would cause an explosion of negative energy, which could also be responsible for the damage done here." Tai took the lead and everyone continued walking through Mount Tantiss. "This looks kind of like the inside of the death star from that movie Star Wars. See, that over there looks like one of the consoles, and that over there looks like the tractor beams energy supply thing that Obi Wan turned off so the Millenium Falcon could get out of the death star. And look over there, it's... Holy shit!" Everyones attention was drawn to Joe. "What? What did you see? What happened?" Mimi asked. "I swear I just saw Darth Vader walk by over there! He was there! I saw him!" Joe led the others to the spot he thought he had seen the dark lord. I know I saw him over here... It couldn't have been my imagination, could it have been? Maybe it was all this Star Wars stuff... Maybe it's making me see things. Besides, Darth died at the end of 'Return of the Jedi,' remember, Joe? "I was sure I saw him..." Joe said uncertainly. Tai quickly glanced around once again. "Well, I don't see him around here. It's probably just this place, it's giving all of us the creeps. Let's just keep moving. The sooner we get done exploring in here, the sooner we can get out." So they continued walking. A few minutes later... Goku started kissing Trunks again! HA! I bet you thought I was going to say Joe saw Darth again, didn't you? Well, guess what? He did.
"I saw Darth again! He was right over there! He had his lightsaber out, too!" "Joe, you're seeing things. Darth Vader is a fictional character, and besides, he died at the end of 'Return of the Jedi,' remember?" Izzy told Joe. "But if Darth Vader is here, that would explain the damage. Maybe the Emporer died here, and your theory was right. Maybe these are the remains of the second death star, and when the emporer died, that negative energy did all this damage. It is possible. And as for Darth, maybe he didn't die. Maybe he faked his death." Izzy thought for a moment. I suppose anything is possible. And I've always wondered where George Lucas came up with the idea for Star Wars. Maybe Joe is right, and Darth Vader is alive, in this mountain, stalking us! Izzy began to look nervous. "Tai, what if Joe is right? What if that whole Star Wars thing is real? What if Darth faked his death? What if he's out there right now, watching us, waiting for the right time to kill us?" The uneasiness spread throughout the group. Not everyone was scared at the thought of Darth being alive, though. The digimon didn't know what a Darth was. Agumon tried to figure out what was going on. "Tai, what's a Dark Fader?" "It's Darth Vader, Agumon. And he's a guy in a black suit with a black cape and a black mask and a black helmet... Basically he's a guy who dresses in black, breathes funny, and has a glowing sword called a light saber." Agumon thought for a minute, processing the information. "Oh, you mean like that guy over there?" He asked, pointing at an open doorway. The entire group looked where Agumon was pointing and, just before the door closed, saw the back of a man wearing a black, shiny helmet, a black suit, and a black cape. And he was carrying a glowing, red lightsaber. Then the doors closed, and everyone was left feeling very vulnerable. "Well, there's no point in staying here. We should keep moving. If we stay here, Darth will know exactly where we are and he'll be able to find us easily." Tai pointed out. "Yes, but maybe Darth is expecting us to get away from here because now we know he knows we're here, so if we stay here, he'll go somewhere else to look for us and we'll be safe for a little while." Izzy countered. Tai began to feel confused. "But maybe he knows that we think that since he knows we know he knows we're here, we think he would go somewhere else to look for us because we'd think that he would know that we know he knows we're here and so we would stay here hoping to trick him by staying here when we think that he thinks we're somewhere else." Everyone looked at Tai in awe. Matt was the first to speak up. "Tai, that made absolutely no sense." "I know. But you have to admit it does make an interesting theory." :Uh... Yeah, I suppose it might, if it made sense and we could understand it." A now confused bunch of people, digimon, and a Namek walked deeper into the mountain. A lot of the stuff inside the mountain had been destroyed, but some things appeared to be in fairly good working order. They approached a hall of doors. TK picked a door and they all went through it. They found themselves on a narrow trail on the side of the mountain. Once they were all outside, they began following the trail up the mountain. Then TK heard a strange noise. The others listened and were soon able to hear it as well. They all looked up to the sky, and watched as 8 lightsabers fell directly in front of them on the trail. Each lightsaber had a name inscribed on it. After examining the lightsabers, they discovered that there was a lightsaber with Izzys name on it, one with TKs name on it, one with Soras name on it, one with Mimis name on it, one with Matts name on it, one with Joes name on it, One with Tais name on it, and the last one had an inscription that was hard to read. After looking it over carefully, Izzy read it out loud. "The inscription on this lightsaber says 'This lightsaber belongs to: the girl whos name the author forgot.' That must mean you." He said, and handed the lightsaber to the girl whos name the author forgot. Then a Sario Rip appeared in front of the four Dragon Ball Z characters, and they disappeared into it, never to be seen or heard from again (or at least not until the next chapter). So, with the group down to just the digidestined, the digimon, and Sailor Moon, they continued up the trail. After about an hour of following the trail, it began to get dark. TK got scared because he's a little wuss, and so he stayed close to his brother. Tai stayed close to Matt, too. Not because he was afraid of the dark because hes a little wuss, but because he loved Matt and therefore wanted to be close to him. Tai reached out and held Matts hand. Mimi tried to find Sora so she could hold her hand and almost fell down the mountainside. She eventually found Sora and held her hand. A few minutes and several dozen times of almost falling off the mountain, they arrived at a door which led back inside the mountain. Tai led the way into the mountain. Matt shoved his wussy little brother away from him and then they all continued walking further into the mountain. They arrived at a control room. "Hey, I could hook my laptop up to this computer!" Izzy exclaimed. Joe assisted Izzy in connecting his laptop to the computer, and then Izzy switched the laptop on. "Hey, I got an email!" He said, opening the email. "It's from someone who calls himself G.A.T. They must be initials. I wonder what they stand for... Anyways, the email basically says 'hello, I see you've found Mount Tantiss. Please don't touch anything, and I will be there as soon as i can. Avoid anyone who happens to be wearing black in there, unless you want to die before I can get to you.' And then it's signed Thrawn. That must be what the T stands for." All of a sudden, the power to the computer was cut off. "What happened, Izzy?" Tai asked. "I'm not sure. I think it was this Thrawn guy that emailed me. Or it was Darth Vader. Or maybe theres a storm outside and it's somehow cut off the power to the computer. But before the computer lost power, I was able to get a map of the inside of the mountain. It's not a complete map, but I've got most of the inside of the mountain on the map." He unhooked his laptop from the computer and brought up the map on the screen. See, we entered over here, in the power generation room. Thats what Joe saw that he said looked like that tractor beam thing was. It was a power generator. But, according to my data, only three of the original 20 power generators were still functioning before we got here. Now I'm guessing that only two work, since the power to the computer has been cut off. And take a look at the doors. They all rely on power from those generators to work. So if we don't stop whoever is destroying those generators, we will all be trapped in here forever!" Tai walked over to the door opposite the one they came through and tried to open it. "Izzy, the door won't open!" He tried the door they had come through. "This one won't open either! Whoever cut off the power to the computer cut off the power to the doors too!" Then someone began to talk, someone that wasn't in the room. The voice was coming from an intercom that was located high up on one of the walls, just below the ceiling. The voice said "You cannot escape from there. I have shut off the power to the doors. Now your only hope is to come to the dark side." Joe thought for a few seconds and said "We can't go to the dark side, you locked us in here. You need to fix the power generator so that we can get out of here so we can go to the dark side." The intercom was silent. Then "I have fixed the power generator. Now come to the dark side!" Tai and the others opened the door and exited the room. "Hello? Is this thing on? I said, come to the dark side! Well? I'm waiting. Hurry up and come to the dark side!!! Hmmm... They must have escaped."
In the cloning room... "Wow, what are these things?" Izzy asked. "They look like giant cylinders." Joe said, stating the incredibly obvious. "I know that, Joe, but what I want to know is what they're used for. I seem to remember seeing something like them once. I think it was a cartoon. It was called... Let me think... Oh, yeah, it was called Dexters Lab. It's about a boy named dexter and his giant laborotory. I saw some cylinders like these in his lab. But I can't remember what they were used for." TK looked around and found a lot more cylinders, but all of them were damaged. "Matt, do you think we could fix these?" TK asked. "I don't know, ask Izzy. He seems to know more about these things than any of us." Joe examined the cylinders closely. "These seem familiar to me, too. But I didn't see them in a cartoon. I read about them in a book. It was a Star Wars book. I think it was part of a trilogy, written by Timothy Zahn. Hmmm... Izzy?" "Yes, Joe?" "What did you say was the name of that guy who emailed you?" "I think it was Thrawn. It was sent by G.A.T., which I think are initials, and it was signed 'Thrawn.'" "G.A.T.... That must be Grand Admiral Thrawn! I think this is all starting to make sense now... Mount Tantiss. This is where Joruus C'baoth was..." Joe was cut off by a bright red light. An old man in a brown robe steped out from behind one of the cylinders. The man, although old, was very muscular, and he had a white beard that reached to about the middle of his chest. "Someone said my name. Someone called me." Joe had a look of horror on his face. "In the book, that man right there is the clone of a jedi master named Jorus C'baoth. If you'll listen carefully you'll notice that the clones name has an extra u, making his name Joruus instead of Jorus. He has all the powers of a jedi, and is mentally unstable. And, worst of all, he works for Grand Admiral Thrawn, who controls a lot of the remnants of the Imperial forces!" "So you're saying this is a bad guy?" "Yes, Matt, he is a very bad bad guy." Joruus heard Joe say that he was mentally unstable and became angry. "Nobody calls me mentally unstable! I will kill every last one of you!" And Joruus shot bursts of purplish lightening from his fingertips at the digidestined. The digidestined and their digimon ran for the nearest door, but Sailor Moon stepped forward to confront the evil Jedi master. "I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of the moon, I shall yell a lot of really funny things like "Moon cosmic dream action super duper whoopedy doo power' and punish you!" Joruus took one look at her and laughed. Sailor Moon got ready to do battle with the evil clone. "Moon Cosmic Dream Super Duper Whoopedy Doo Magical Special Sugar Spice and Everything Nice Action Crystal Twinkle Bell Power!" At this, Joruus burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. "Stop laughing, or I will be forced to shout more amusing yet really stupid things at you!" Joruus tried his best to stop laughing. "N-no, not t-that!" He said, trying to control his laughter. "I-i'll s-st-stop! J-just don't d-do that a-anymore!" Sailor Moon then threw a barette at Joruus, and he began laughing again. "I-I'm s-s-sorry! It's j-just s-so funny!" Sailor Moon got very angry. "How dare you laugh at me? Super Special Glitter Makeup Power!" Joruus laughed so hard his side began to hurt. "P-please, s-stop! Stop it, I'll b-be good!" Sailor Moon then said "Alright, you stupid piece of shit! I'm getting really pissed off here! Super Special Sparkling Stretchy Spandex Power!" Joruus couldn't manage to control his laughter any longer and fell to the ground, laughing. Sailor Moon looked at him evilly. "Since you can't seem to stop laughing, I'm going to have to... GIVE YOU A FACIAL!" Joruus stopped laughing immediately and looked at her with terror on his face. "You wouldn't! Even you wouldn't be that cruel! No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Then Sailor Moon dragged Joruus into the shadows, never to be seen or heard from again (At least not until the next episode.)
In the hall just outside the door to the cloning room... "Has anyone seen Sailor Moon?" Joe asked. "No, she went and fought that clone guy." Sora answered. "So I don't think we should wait around for her. She probably isn't going to come looking for us, and even if she does, I doubt it'll be all that soon. And don't forget, Darth Vader is still out there somewhere, and he's probably gonna be a pain in the ass and try to kill us." Mimi looked around the hall. "Well, there are two doors here. Which one do we go through?" "Is there anything written on the doors?" Joe questioned. "I don't think so... Oh, wait, here's something!" "What does it say, Mimi?" Tai queried. "It says 'DANGER' and then theres something else written under that, but I can't mae it out. It's too small." Izzy took a look at the writing. "Hmmm... I think it says 'DANGER, Emporers Throne Room.' What do you think it means?" "It's obvious. That is Emporer Palpatines throne room. Of course, since he died, it is Joruus' throne room. Unless Sailor Moon killed him, in which case It's Darths throne room. Or, in other words, we should not go through that door." The others agreed with Joe and so they went through the other door at the end of the hall. "Hey, look over here! Do you know what this is?" Joe asked the other digidestined. The others looked it over and couldn't figure out what it was. "It's a ysalimiri! Thrawn used these! The create bubbles that push back the force around them." Joe attatched the small cylinder with the ysalimiri inside to his pants. "Now as long as we're by the ysalimiri, Darth and Joruus can't use the force to hurt us. Lightsabers are a different thing though. Lightsabers! I almost forgot! We have lightsabers!" The digidestined pulled out their lghtsabers. "With lightsabers, digimon, and a ysalimiri, we should be perfectly safe. Unless Thrawn drives by in a Super Star Destroyer and blows the place to pieces." Everyone, human and digimon alike, got ready to sleep. Tai mysteriously ended up next to Matt, Joe somehow ended up sleeping by Izzy, Mimi was next to Sora, and of course TK was next to that other girl whos name the author can't remember. A few minutes after everyone was asleep, a Sario Rip appeared and dragged the digidestined and their digimon into it. The rip ejected them into a laborotory, and still they slept. A voice was heard by all those awake, which are Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, the powerpuff girls, the professor, and Dexter, saying "Transfer complete." Then all those who were awake were knocked unconcious by a mysterious force.
One hour later... "Hello? Are you awake? Oh, good. Your friends have been awake for several minutes now. You are the last one to wake up." Tai woke up and saw a small red haired boy standing over him. "Who are you? Where am I?" "Well, my name is Dexter, and this is my laborotory. Your friends tell me your name is Tai. So, welcome to my lab, Tai." "Thanks. I guess. What happened?" "Well, a friend of mine, Blossom, has a horrible disease, and my computer told me that only a digimons blood could cure her. Or I'm wrong and she has TSA, and using digimon blood will kill her... But we are going to try digimon blood. I told my computer to find a digimon so we could use its blood to cure Blossom, and then there was this light, and then glowing, and 'wow!' and 'transfer complete.' Then we woke up and found you guys." "That clears things up a lot. So your friend needs a digimons blood or she'll die, huh?" "Yes, that is correct." "Well, which digimon are you going to use?" "I volunteered, Tai." Agumon informed Tai. "Dexter already took some of my blood, and now he's going to use it to cure Blossom." "Well, as long as you're all right with it, I'm all right with it." "Thank you, Tai. Now, computer, what exactly do we do with the blood?" Dexter asked. "You must inject the digimon blood into her blood stream, Dexter." Dexter grabbed a needle full of digimon blood and walked over to Blossom. "Well, here goes." Dexter inserted the needle into Blossoms arm and injected the digimon blood into her blood stream.
Another hour passes by and... Blossom woke up. "I feel a lot better now." Bubbles and Buttercup cheered. Heero began kissing Duo. Trowa slipped his tongue into Quatres mouth. Wufei stared at some data on Dexters computers screen. Blossom flew around the lab out of joy. Izzy was examining some of Dexters experiments. Joe was trying to get Izzy to notice him so that he could kiss Izzy. Tai was kissing Matt. Mimi was staring at Sora. Sora was taking a shower. With Mimi. TK was playing with Deedee. The other girl whos name the auther can't remember was hiding in the shadows, thinking up evil schemes. The professor was unsuccessfully trying to get Wufeis attention. Dexters dad was watching football. Dexters mom was somehow managing to balance on the very tips of her shoes and wash the dishes WITH HER EYES CLOSED!!! Milliardo was thinking about Wufei with no clothes on. 'He' was using Milliardos bug to find out what Milliardo was thinking about. Princess was begging her dad for more money. The green guys were sitting at a table doing nothing. Mojo Jojo was perfecting his best plan to destroy the powerpuff girls ever. Fuzzy Lumpkins was taking ballet. Sailor Moon was having a very hard time getting Joruus to stay still while she painted his fingernails and gave him a perm. Joruus was getting his fingernails painted and getting a perm. Sedusa was wondering why the author keeps writing a sentence telling what each person is doing. The author was deciding to get on with the story. Blossom had recovered in only an hour. Digimon blood sure works fast. Dexter thought. "So, what are we going to do now?" Then, at that very moment, Monkey came back into the lab. "Monkey, I see you found out that you were a little late in answering a call for help." Monkey threw a banana at Dexter. "Ow! Hey, why did you do that?" Then Monkey began to... digivolve? Monkey digivolved into... Mojo Jojo! "Muju must have made a clone of Monkey and set a timer on it so that it would destroy itself and therefore create a miniature rip in time/space, transporting Mojo into the lab!" Everyone looked at Dexter. Mimi spoke first. "That didn't make any sense. It made a bit more sense than Tai did when he was arguing with Izzy whether to stay or go after we saw Darth, but it still didn't make any sense." "It doesn't matter if it made sense or not, just get Miji!" Bubbles and Buttercup flew towards Mojo, but Blossom stayed behind since she had gotten a disease the last time she fought Mojo. Bubbles used her eye beams, but missed Mojo. Mojo ran around in the lab, wrecking everything he could. "I will destroy Dexters laborotory and then you will not be able to cure my diseases anymore! I will destroy you, powerpuff girls!" And then, a Sario Rip opened right in front of Mojo, and he was sucked into it. The rip closed and Mojo was gone. "I wonder what happened to Mojo." Bubbles wondered. "Oh, Damn! What is he went into a different universe where there are a lot of really powerful villains, and maybe he'll get back here and bring a bunch of them with him! If that happens, we're screwed!" "Oh, fuck! You're right, Bubbles!" Blossom said. "But... Maybe he'll get transported to a universe full of superheroes and they'll throw him in jail."
What will happen to Mojo? Will he be trapped in a world full of superheroes? Will he bring reinforcements back from a universe full of villains? What are Milliardo and the other villains planning to do next? Where is Darth Vader? What happened to Joruus C'Baoth? Will good win, evil lose, and love conquer all? Tune in next time for the next exciting episode of When Cartoons Collide!
