Chapter 2: The Enemies Reveal Themselves
Tai, Joe, Matt, TK, Kari, and Davis- and their digimon- arrived in Mimi's room from her computer. Mimi was so glad to see them. She already felt safer.
"Thank God y'all were able to come!" she says as she gave them all a big hug. "Where are the others?"
"They're back in the DigiWorld, helping the people from the Space Needle get back home." Tai says.
"So the Space Needle got sucked into the DigiWorld! Everyone was saying how it just sank into the ground and was swallowed by this white light." she explained.
"This is very weird!" Davis says. "Why would a building just get sucked into the Digital World? Someone has to be behind this! But who?"
"That's what we're here to find out!" Matt says. "Now what wall were you telling us about?"
"This one!" Mimi says as she opens her curtains. Out past the New York City skyline, a aurora-like wall of energy emerged from the ocean. "It appeared only hours ago, and no plane or ship can get in or out of it. The army has even shot missles at it, but they don't even scratch the stupid thing! Even Canada has tried to drill a tunnel underneath it, but the wall goes underground for who knows how far!" She gazes out at the wall of energy and begins to tear up. "Oh, I don't know what's going to happen to us. For all we know that wall will kill us all!" She begins to cry.
Tai walks up to her and puts his hands on her shoulders. "Don't worry, Mimi. We've been in worse jams than this, and we've always gotten out of them. We'll figure out what's going on, and we'll stop it!" he says as he moves a bang of her pink and strawberry hair from her eye.
"Thanks, Tai. You're right, if we can save the Digital World, then we could save our world, too." Just then, her computer brightens up and Lillymon emerges from it.
"Lillymon!" Mimi yells at the top of her lungs with happiness.
"Oh Mimi, I...missed...you." Lillymon says as she collapses on the floor.
"What's wrong, Lillymon!" Mimi asks as she sees her friend collapse.
"Lillymon's getting weak because she can't de-digivolve back to Palmon." Kari says.
"I don't understand. Why can't she?" Mimi asks.
"Hold on, I have an idea." Joe says. "Mimi, give Lillymon your digivice."
Without questioning him, Mimi got up, went to her drawer, and got her old digivice. "Here Lillymon," Mimi said as she placed the digivice in her hands. "I don't know what's supposed to happen, but please get better."
As Mimi puts the digivice into Lillymon's hand, it emits a white light. When the light disappears, Lillymon awakens.
"Where am I?" Lillymon asks. Then she remembers where she went, and after seeing Mimi, she remembered.
"Mimi, thank goodness you're okay!" she said.
Davis was confused. "How did you know that the digivice would do that, Joe?"
"I remember that Leomon was able to digivolve when he touched our digivices. I guessed that it could re-energize Lillymon." Joe says.
"Thanks, Joe" Lillymon says "You saved my life!"
"Well, yeah, I guess..." Joe stammered.
"Mimi, do the televisions work still?" Tai asked.
"Yeah, but we can't use the satellite dish, anymore." She explains
"Honeybunch," Mrs. Tachikawa said, "I heard some yelling, can I come in?"
Mimi got nervous. She had to stall. "Hold on one second, Mom, I have to get dressed." All the others hid their Digimon in the closet. "Mimi, how are we going to explain to your mom how we got here from Japan," Joe said. "And what about Lillymon? She's too big to hide in your closet!"
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Mimi says. She grabbed her pink cowboy hat off of her bedpost and put it on Lillymon to cover the lilly on her head. She also got her sunglasses off of the desk and put them on her. "Lillymon, you need to fold your wings behind your back." Lillymon did as Mimi said.
"Come in, Mom!" Mimi says.
"I was kind of..." Mimi's mom began, but then she say all of the other kids in Mimi's room. "Aren't you Mimi's friends from Odaiba? Where did all of you come from?"
" I told you that they came to visit me from Japan when I got home from school. You must not have noticed them come in." Mimi says.
"Oh, I guess I was too preoccupied with the news." Mrs. Tachikawa said. "Looks like you kids picked a bad time to come. I hope y'all will be able to get back home, soon." She then looks at Lillymon. "Hey, who's your friend? I don't quite remember her."
"Oh, she's..." Mimi started, but was unable to make up a name off the top of her head.
"...Lillian." TK said quickly. "Lillian Smith." Lillymon just nodded her head in agreement, hoping TK's story sticks.
"Nice to meet you, Lillian. I'm Mimi's mother." Mrs. Tachikawa then notices Lillymon's green hair. "I see you're like my daughter, always dying your hair into so many crazy colors. Maybe I should get some red highlights just to fit in around here!" Mrs. Tachikawa says with a giggle
"Sweety, come downstairs quickly!" Mimi's dad yells.
Everyone rushes downstairs to see what he was doing. All of their Digimon, curious to see what they were looking at, sneak downstairs and hide behind the couch. All the kids look at the big screen TV in disbelief. A large wolf-like creature was tearing up Time Square!
"It's Garurumon!" Matt yells. Gabumon whispers to him,"No, Matt. That's Goruramon, a Virus-type Digimon."
"I'll go upstairs and tell Izzy and the others to come here quickly." TK said.
"Digimon? You mean those little monsters that y'all had about three years ago?" Mr. Tachikawa asked.
"Yes sir, Mr. Tachikawa," Matt says, "but I can't explain now. Come on everyone, we gotta stop that thing from tearing up the city."
The rest of the Digidestined- Sora, Izzy, Ken, Yolei, and Cody- came downstairs from Mimi's room with all of the Digimon- including Michael's Digimon, Betamon.
"Aahh! where'd you all come from!" Mrs. Tachikawa screamed.
"I'll tell you later, Mom. We gotta go." Mimi says. But as she was about to join the rest of the Digidestined, her father grabs her arm.
"I'm not letting you go." her father says. "It's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, I'll protect her!" Lillymon says. She takes the hat and sunglasses off, and she unfolds her wings from behind her back.
"Lillian is a Digimon?!" Mrs. Tachikawa screams, just before fainting.
Mimi gets her arm out of her father's hand. "I'm sorry, Daddy, but I have to help." Before her father can answer her, Mimi and Lillymon leave the house.
As Mimi's father tries to awaken Mrs. Tachikawa, he says in a low whisper: "I thought we left it all behind."
____________________
Using Raidramon, Nefertimon, Pegasusmon, and Halsemon, all of the Digidestined reached Time Square. Cars were crushed, building walls were smashed in, and the beautiful neon lights were smashed. They finally see him- Goruramon. He looks a lot like Garurumon, except his stripes are black and his fur is a deep crimson red. His eyes were yellow and bloodshot. His teeth were long and sharp, and when he snarled his mouth would foam.
"Okay, everyone attack!" Tai yells.
PEPPER BREATH
BLUE BLASTER
SPIRAL TWISTER
SUPER SHOCKER
MARCHING FISHES
The attacks have some affects on him, but not enough. Goruramon yells:
BLACK HOWL
A black blast of sonic waves emanate from Goruramon's mouth. It knocks Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, and Gomamon against a building. Lillymon then flies over him and yells
FLOWER CANNON
The blast hits Goruramon, but it has very little affect. Lillymon is still too weak. Goruramon sends out another BLACK HOWL, knocking her into the giant NBC monitor high above Time Square.
"Lillymon, no!" Mimi yells as she sees her friend smash into the screen.
"Don't worry, Mimi," Halsemon yells, "I'll get her out."
Nefertimon and Pegasusmon restrain Goruramon using their GOLDEN NOOSE, and Raidramon and Digmon begin to attack
THUNDER BLAST
GOLD RUSH
Raidramon's THUNDER BLAST electrocutes Goruramon, and Digmon's GOLD RUSH send his drills crashing into Goruramon. Goruramon is defeated, but instead of being deleted, be de-digivolves into a digimon that looks a lot like Gabumon. The Digimon has a black horn, green skin, and a fur coat that is the same colors as Goruramon.
"Hey," Ken says, "how did that Digimon de-digivolve?"
"Psychemon, return!" a voice yells from an alley. The evil Digimon gets up and rushes towards the voice.
"Come on, let's follow it!" Davis yells. He gets on Raidramon and they chase after the strange Digimon. Suddenly, he hears a voice yell out.
SPIT FIRE
A napalm-like blob spewed out at Raidramon. It hit and burned into his skin, forcing him to de-digivolve back to Veemon. As Davis gets up off the ground, he sees a Digimon that looks like Agumon, except it was a light green color, and his mouth looked like that of a raptors. A mysterious boy suddenly walks up next to the dinosaur Digimon.
"I see you met Bagumon, eh?" he says.
Tai and the other Digidestined come into the alley and help Davis up
"Who are you?" Tai asks.
"I'm Trey, and this is my Digimon, Bagumon." the mysterious boy says. "I am, how you say, your evil counterpart!" This could've been true, too, because Trey had his hair fixed up just like Tai's, except his was a platinum-blonde. He continued to speak, "I even have my own crest: The Crest of Cowardice"
"What! But how'd you get a Digimon?" Tai asks.
"That ain't none of your business." Trey said. "I'd like you to meet all of your other counterparts. This is Mike, and his Digimon is Psychemon. I think you all met him already. He has the Crest of Animosity."
Mike, who looks a lot like Matt with black hair and a leather jacket, is leaning against a brick wall. Psychemon is beside him.
"And this is Sara, and her Digimon is Bidomon. She has the Crest of Hate." Trey says.
Sara was like Sora, except her hair was braided and she wore a tank top. Bidomon was like Biyomon, but she was purple and had a sharper beak.
One by one, Trey introduced the Digidestined to his friends. Israel was Izzy's counterpart. He had on jeans and a white T-shirt. He had the Crest of Ignorance, and his Digimon, Technomon, was a grey Tentomon look-a-like with scythes for arms and sharper back thorns. Amy was Mimi's counterpart. She wore the latest in fashion: Leather mini-skirt, cashmere sweater, knee-high boots, and her hair was dyed purple.She had the Crest of Apathy, and her Digimon, Alraumon, looked a lot like Palmon, except she had yellowish skin and a lavender flower atop her head. Joel was Joe's counterpart, and he had the Crest of Neglect. He wore an untucked Oxford shirt and khaki pants. His Digimon, Coliamon, was a black Gomamon with leathery skin. Karla was Kari's counterpart, and she had the Crest of Darkness. She wore a short dress, sandals, and velvet gloves. She also wore a cape and was holding some tarot cards. Her Digimon was BlackSalamon, an evil version of the normally sweet and cuddly Salamon . She also had an ivory ring around her neck. Finally, there was CJ. This was TK's counterpart. He had red hair, a blue Hawaiin shirt, and khaki shorts. He had the Crest of Despair. And no one could believe the Digimon he had- DemiDevimon!
Trey then yelled "We are the Dark Digidestined, and we will take over this country, and then the Digiworld!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Davis yelled as he lunged towards Trey. But CJ ordered DemiDevimon to attack!
DEMI DART
DemiDevimon shot a poisoned dart at Davis and hit him in the shoulder. Davis fell to the ground. CJ told the Digidestined, "You can either try to attack us and allow your friend to die, or you can take him to a hospital. If I were you, I'd chose the second one."
Then Karla said, "Come on, everybody, let's go have some fun in DC." Then they all disappeared into the night.
"We'd better get him to a hospital, he's not looking so good!" Armadillomon says.
"There's a hospital 5 blocks away. We'd better go now!" Mimi says.
_____________________
"Good thing you brought this boy in immediately!" said the doctor. "We were able to neutralize the toxins, but if you had been a minute too late, he might not have made it. But you don't have to worry, sir, he'll be all better by tomorrow."
"Thanks, doc." Tai says. "You're a lifesaver!"
"I know, that's my job." he says in reply.
Mimi then walks up to the doctor. She asks "How is he?"
The doctor tells her what she told Tai. He also tells her that he had called Mimi's parents to come by the hospital. "This isn't good." Mimi thought to herself. She could imagine how they'd react. But then her imagination became reality.
Mr. and Mrs. Tachikawa burst through the doors of the Emergency Room. "Mimi! What happened?" Her father says.
"Daddy, Davis got attacked by a Digimon. He's gonna be okay, though."
"Didn't I tell you that it would be too dangerous!" Mr. Tachikawa scolded his daughter. "Mimi, that could be you in that hospital bed!"
"I know, Daddy," Mimi said, looking down at the floor, "But we couldn't just let that monster destroy downtown, could we?"
"Mimi, there are much better qualified people to do that! The police, the National Guard the Army, but not a dozen kids!" Her mother yelled "Don't you realize that you could've gotten that boy killed tonight?!"
"Damn it! Don't you think I know that, Mom! I'm sorry if y'all want me to be safe in my room, but I have to help stop these monsters!" Mimi yelled. Tears were running down her face "Because of me I've lost friends in the DigiWorld, so I won't let one of my friends die now. I am sick of being the cause of everything, and I am going to prove to everyone that I'm worthy to be called a Digidestined!" She immediately ran out the door, crying along the way.
"Mimi, wait!" her mother yelled to her pleadingly, "Please, come back!"
The other Digidestined were stunned. They had no idea that Mimi felt that way. She always seemed so carefree and joyful. This was a big shock.
There was a long, awkward silence in the lobby, until Izzy discovered something. "Hey guys, do you remember when Karla said that they were going to go have fun in DC?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Sora asks.
"I think I know where their next attack will be, and there's only one DC I know of in America." Izzy says.
"Where's that" Agumon asks.
Izzy Points to a map on his computer. "Washington D.C.!"
Tai, Joe, Matt, TK, Kari, and Davis- and their digimon- arrived in Mimi's room from her computer. Mimi was so glad to see them. She already felt safer.
"Thank God y'all were able to come!" she says as she gave them all a big hug. "Where are the others?"
