Authors note: This chapter deals with a little more mature subject matter and it has a bit of language so it may not be sutible for younger kids, but what are the odds that you read the authors note? I thought so.
Matt snapped awake. he had been lying on the hard ground.
"Get up you pathetic Digi Destined!" snarled an all too familiar voice.
He staggerd to his feet an lookd around in a frenzy,he was all alone. Devimon stood before him. " Devimon!, what have you done?" demanded Matt, " Where am I?"
" Fool, you never left!, I've brought you to your future!" Cackled Devimon.
"Where are the others!"
"Ha! you will find out soon enough!"
Matt grabbed a large rock that was near him and flung it at Devimon, the rock passed through him.
" I am not the real Devimon, I am only a vision of him, and I am here to show you your destiny."
" Ha!, why would I trust or listen to you?" scoffed Matt.
" My resons are but for me to know, but how else can you survive with out my help?"
Matt stood silently. " We are now a year from when you last remeber,Both the digi-world and this world are mine." Devimon grinned. " For you and your pitiful friends have failed." The country side now was grey and chared. The trees were twisted and burnt. Viridian city was no more than ruins. The sky was a mass of dark swirling clouds. Thunder rumbled and boomed across the barren landscape.
" Where are the others?" demanded Matt.
" Right where you left them." sneared Devimon as he faded away.
"The camp..." thought Matt as took off runnng. When Matt reached the camp he froze. There was no one there. He looked around, his eyes caught somthing standing a ways off. He ran over to them and froze, his legs turned to rubber as he fell to his knees. Before him were six crude head stones.
"Oh god no..." whispered Matt quietly.
The first head stone had a pair of blue cracked and tattered goggles hanging from it, Matt crawled over to the grave and brushed grime off the head stone, the words could be read underneath : Taichi Kamiya. Matt's eyes stung from the tears that formed. "No it can't be..." Matt checked the next Tombstone, a ragged Helmet rested on it. The next one had a pair of cracked Glasses, the next had a torn pink hat, the next had Izzy's lap top case. Matt's stomach churned. The last tomb stone had a ratty green hat apon it. " Oh, god not this ...please!" Matt crawled over to the tomb stone. Thunder boomed above him as a cold drizzle formed. The words Takaru were carved into the rock.
" No!" wailed Matt as he lowered his head and sobbed un-controlably. Tears ran down his face as the cold rain poured down. Matt rested his head on T.k's grave and contiued to cry tears for his lost brother.
" They all died because you left them. They were to weak to fight my minons." sneared Devimon "But, you can save your friends lives."
Matt looked up, his eyes red from tears. "You did this!" screamed Matt, " You killed them and burried them in this god-awful place!"
" You burried them here... after you found them dead." said a calm Devimon." But his can be changed."
" How?" sniffed Matt.
" Easy, join me again, and I can change the future."
" You," Matt's voice rose into a cry. "You can burn in hell you heart-less bastard!" Devimon narrowed his red eyes. " I will never join you-EVER!" screamed Matt.
Devimon frowned.
" Then they will all die, and you will watch them die!" snarled Devimon as he vanished.
Tai leapt up from the ground, his digivice in hand. " Agumon! do your stuff!"
" Right!" said Agumon as he jumped up. Agumon began to glow as he digivolved into Greymon!
Mimi got up. " Palamon your on!"
Palamon Digivolved into Togemon!
" Biyomon, we need your help!" said Sora. Biyomon Digivolved into Birdramon
" Gomamon, can you help?" asked Joe.
" Sure can!" said Gomamon as he Digivolved into Ikkakumon.
" Get them!" called Tai as the four huge champions marched towards Etamon and team Rocket!
" Nova blast!" roared Greymon as he spat the huge fireball at Etamon's cart.
" Hey now that ain't fair sneakin' up on a guy!" wailed Etamon as he threw him self from the cart moments befroe it was blown to bits by the fire ball!
" Harpoon torpedo!" Bellowed Ikkakumon as he launched his missiles at Etamon.
Etamon was dodging attacks left and right!
" Now you got me mad boy!, try this on for size!" Etamon flew throught the air and drop kicked Ikkakumon into Togemon, sending the two flying, when they landed they de-digivolved. Mimi and Joe ran to their fallen friends.
" Meteor wing!" called Birdramon as she launched dozens of fire balls at Etamon! Etamon dodged them! " Haw now catch!" Etamon tried to throw a dark network ball, but there being no Drak Network on earth, nothing happened. "Opps, I forgot about that one..."
The split second that Etamon lost his concentration Greymon nailed him with a Nova blast!
Etamon got back up, sevearly scorched. " Thats a dirty trick, but I got an even dirtier one!" Etamon pulled out a remote control and typed in a code. Suddenly two Tyranamon appeared and launched duel fire blasts! The blasts knocked Birdramon out of the sky and toppled Greymon!
" Birdramon!" cried Sora, her crest bagan to glow! Birdramon began to glow again as she digivolved into Garudramon!
" Greymon don't give up!" yelled Tai, to his fallen digimon. Greymon began to glow and digivolved into Meta-Greymon.
" Wing blade!" yelled Garudramon as she launched the huge fire bird from her wings! The bird swept towards the Tyranamon and blasted both of them into atoms!
" Metagreymon!, get Etamon!" commanded Tai.
Meta-Greymon roared as he launched his two missles! The missles speed towards the cowering Etamon with leathal force.
" Nooooo! not again!" wailed Etamon as the missles Nuked him and a massive crater around him.
Garudramon and Metagreymon de-digivolved into Tokomon and Koromon.
" Good job guys!" said Sora as she picked up Tokomon.
" Yeah, way to go!" cheered tai as he picked up Koromon.
"I... don't ... belive my eyes.." said Ash, his mouth agape in awe. " They can do all that?"
" And more!" said Tai beeming with pride.
Pikachu, Tentomon, and Patamon were chasing Team Rocket off throught the woods,
" Why can't we ever be on the right team?" wailed James as Tentomon shocked him into running faster.
" We only wanted to win, is thats so bad?" moaned Jeese as Pikachu zapped her.
" I say we quit and become profesional losers!" whined Meowth.
"We'ed be the best there was!" wailed all of Team Rocket!
" Boom Bubble!" cried Patamon as He blasted Team Rocket off , as they have been so many times.
" looks like Team Rockets Blasting off againnnnnnnn!" wailed the Trio as the flew out of sight.
" Matt wake up!" pleaded Gabumon as he shook Matt. A long last Matt sat up with a gasp, his eyes red with tears.
" Gabumon!, thank god!" gasped Matt as he hugged his digi-friend.
" Matt whats wrong?" asked a worried Gabumon.
" I-It was only a dream." stuttered Matt with a sniffle. " It was horrible, T.k, Tai everone was dead, and it was all my fault!" whispered Matt, his voice softened with emotion.
" There now, it was only a bad dream, everone's fine." said Gabumon reasurringly. Just then a loud boom shook the forest.
" They're in trouble!" cried Matt as he leapt to his feet.
"Matt wait for me!"cried Gabumon as he followed suit.
The sounds of battle echoed throught the woods, and got louder as Matt got closer. Suddenly the ground shook with a huge blast,and all was quite. Matt and Gabumon arived at the camp to see Tai holding Koromon, and large smoking crater.
" Matt!" called Tai, "Glad your back!"
"What happened?, wheres T.k?" demanded Matt as he looked around nervously.
" Etamon showed up with his goons, but we showed them!"
" Is T.k alright?" asked Matt nervously.
"Hes right over there." said Tai as he pointed to T.k who was praising Patamon for a job well done. " Is somthing wrong?" asked Tai, in one of his rare caring moments. " Are you ok?"
"No,just drop it ok?" snapped Matt as he went over to T.k.
" Gabumon, whats up with Matt?" asked Tai
" I think he's a little shaken up from a dream he had." said Gabumon with a sigh.
" Guys, I am the only one here who thinks we should get out of here before the poilce show up?" said Joe. " This isn't the digiworld and I don't think that huge explosions happen that often!"
" Joe's right we should head back to the city, then it will be harder to be attacked." said Sora as she set Yokomon down.
"Oh, I just thought of somthing!" said Mimi with a gasp. " What if they try to attack Izzy?"
" He's all alone, he'ed be a prime target!" said Ash. " We got to get back to the city!"
" I should have stayed to protect him!" said Tentomon.
" Lets go then, we don't have a moment to waste!" said Misty as she gathered her things.
Izzy woke up with a start, and winced as he grabbed his throbbing head. The last little while came back to him. He looked around groggliy at the plain hospital room. By the look of things it was still night time. The only light was from the hall way, pale florscent light gave the room enough light to see clearly in the dim room. He could hear a faint beeping coming from a closet in the cornor of the room. With great effort Izzy swung his legs off the side of the bed and stood up. The cold tile floor met with his bare feet and shocked him even more awake as he realised that he was not in his usual clothes, but rather one of those skimpy hospital gowns. Blushing slightly, Izzy walked quitely over to the closet and fearlessly opened the door. Inside his regualr clothes hung from a hook, the beeping came from his pants pocket. Izzy pulled out his digivice, the screen indicated that there were six blips on it, it must have been the others, and they were near by. Izzy smiled, he knew that his friends would always help him, first Tai and Sora found and rescued him, saving him from a sure death. Mimi and Joe watched over him at the camp, sacraficing many hours of sleep.
" I never was too good with people, " thought Izzy to himself. " But now I have possibly the best friends that anyone could ever hope for."
Suddenly Izzy began to get real dizzy, his head began to pulse with the mother of all head aches, as his injurys began to take there toll on him.
" Chansey!" cried a shrill voice from the dorrway as a pink feathery egg like creature ran over to Izzy and dragged him back to the bed. After Izzy was stuffed back into bed, the creature bounded out the door with another shrill cry.
" Oooookkkkaaaaayyyy...."thought Izzy as he watched the odd creature bounce away. As Izzy began to drift off he thought of his friends, watching over him.
" Well it looks safe enough." said Brock as he scaned the street for any signs of evil digimon.
" Yeha, but we can't take that risk." said Tai. " We never know if- hey theres one!" said Tai as he pointed to a hunched over peson.
"That would be an old woman." said Matt. " Not exactly an Evil minion of Devimon if you ask me."
" Oh yeah, well what about that guy?" said Tai as he pointed to a respectable looking man dressed in a black suit.
" Err, I doubt it." said Misty. Just then T.k yawned, Misty looked down at him. T.k was sitting on a bench next to Mimi,Patamon and Palamon.
" We should try to get some sleep, T.k's almost passed out on Mimi." said Matt, as he stiffled a yawn himself.
" I'm ok Matt, I can stay awake." said T.k sleeplily.
" Your right though Matt, we need to sleep if we want to be able to *yawn* fight." said Sora.
" But where do we stay, were're not exactly rich." said Joe as he straightened his glasses.
" I still have my Atm card!" said Mimi in a bouncy voice.
" Atm cards?" said Ash in a surprised voice. " Those are pretty old,hardly anyone uses them anymore."
" Anymore?" said Matt, " Just what is the date here?"
" 2051, why?" said Ash.
" Guys," said Matt to the digidestined," We left on August first, 1999!, this could be earth's future!"
" News flash Matt," said Tai sleepily, " Earth dosent have these Poke-things." Tai pointed at Pikachu.
" Pi?" said a confused Pikachu.
"Hmm, Pokemon were discovered in 2001 though!"
( authors note: this is just what I think, it don't apply to any real Poke-stuff)
said Brock with a thoughtful look on his face.
" This makes no sense, could we actually be visiting out future?" said Sora.
"Then wait a minute, then we could be here yet we are here, then we- Oh I give up, wheres Izzy when you need him?" said Tai as he collapsed in frustration.
" This is all fine and dandy, but I think we need to get some sleep." said Mimi as she indicated T.k whom was sound asleep, propped up by Mimi.
" Your right, we'll work it out when we see Izzy tomorow." said Matt as he picked up T.k. " Your getting to big for this." said Matt as he shifted T.k around.
" We still have'nt solved where we are going to stay." said Joe.
" We could always try the pokecenter." said Brock. " But we don't know if there full."
"To bad the last hotel we stayed in was trashed." said Misty.
" Well we cant just sleep on the street." whined Mimi. " We're not homeless, just really lost!"
"I say we just go back to the woods and camp out, we can post a watch here if we want to, and we'll take turns."said Matt.
"Sounds good, I'm tired." yawned Sora.
" I can take first watch said Tai with a yawn."
"I'll stay too, you look like you need the help staying awake." said Ash.
The rest of the gang headed a few blocks away to the woods to camp out. While Ash and Tai sat on a bench outside of the hospital. The night was warm so Ash and Tai wern't cold. Agumon and Pikachu slept behind the bench while Ash and Tai talked about Digimon, and Pokemon. Beofre the two knew it, the sun began to rise and the city came to life around them.
" Hey you guys, did you stay up all night?" said Brock,as he, Mimi, Misty,and Sora walked up to the bench. A sleepy Ash and Tai looked up.
" I guess so, what time is it?"
" Around seven, the hospital opens at about eight, so we thought we show up around nine." said Brock as he stretched. " Wow, I slept like a log."
" Must be nice." said Ash and Tai simutaneously.
" Why don't you two go back to camp and get some sleep? T.k, Matt and Joe are still there."said Sora.
" I think I will." said Tai with an huge yawn.Ash followed Tai back to the camp.
" So Etemon has failed me, I should have expected as much." said Devimon with a scowl. He had lost his commander and two of his best digimon, not to mention those bungling humans. How ever, he still had Vertigomon and several other operatives, even the dim witted Ogermon. Perhaps it was time for him to make a strike, one that could not fail, he had been informed by one of his lesser minions that one of the Digidestined was currently injured and Hospitalized. " A perfect opportunity." said Devimon with an evil grin. It was time to put his plan into motion.
Ash and Tai snored softly as they lay sprawled asleep next to the camp fire. Agumon slept next to his partner while Pikachu hogged most of Ash's sleeping bag.
" Hey Matt," said Joe. " Did you notice that Ash is alot like Tai?"
" Heh, your right, just don't tell Ash that." said Matt with a smirk as he lay back on the soft grass.
" Matt?" asked Joe again.
" What?"
" I was just thinking again, should we be letting these guys, you know, Ash and them help us fight Devimon?, Don't think of me as ungratful, but they are risking there lives here."
Matt was siletn for a bit. Well, I don't want to put anyone else into danger, there brave yes, but Devimon dosn't mess around, Looke what almost happened to me and T.k ."
Joe sighed. " I think I'm allergic to these woods."
Matt groaned.
" Joe," said Gomamon, as he wadled into view, still wet from his swim in a nearby stream. "Lighten up."
Izzy had been visiting with Sora,Mimi, Brock and Misty since nine. He was glad that they were hear to keep him company, seeing as his computer wasn't working ever since he fell. He needed to get a new battery and have the screen replaced, and a few chips were shot.He had been asking Brock about this whole Pokemon deal and all about the idea of this being their future.
" Well we should let you get some rest." said Sora. " Do you need us to pick you up anything?"
" No, I'm fine." said Izzy with a yawn.
" I hope you feel better." said Mimi. Mimi was acting protective over him, highly unusual for her to do so. His head still hurt a bit, and he was still getting Dizzy spells if he moved to fast. HIs arm was getting better, it no longer ached when he moved it. As tired as he was though, he wanted his friends to stay. Especialy Mimi,although he kept that to himself, but he did need his rest if he ever wanted to join them again. Tentomon was the most worried about Izzy, he decided to stay with him at the hospital even though it was against Hospital policy. After the gang left a nurse came in with a tray of food.
" Lunch time!" said The nurse in a cheery voice. " And how are we feeling today?"
"Better Ma'm." said Izzy politly. Tentomon was hidden in the closet to avoid being found.
" Enjoy, I'll be back in an hour to check on you." said the Nurse as she walked out and closed the door behind her.
" You can come out now Tentomon." said Izzy quietly. tentomon flew over to the foot of Izzy's bed. Izzy un-covered the tray.
" Ugg, future or not, hospital food hasn't changed."
Office Jenny scowled as she looked over the schorhed Terrian. Witnessness report Giant Pokemon fighting, But Giant Pokemon don't just show up,and then disapear. This was almost certinly linked to the incident in the heart of Viridian city. She had to find out who or what was tearing her town apart, and she knew just the kid who could explain this. She began to walk pack to her patrol car, she had to jump down and climb up the side of a huge foot print of Metal-greymon.
The elevator doors opened with a ping as Sora,Misty, Brock and Mimi stepped out. A Tall fat man brushed past them as he squeezed into the elevator.
"Phew, dosn't that guy know it's summer out?" said Mimi as she fanned the smell away from her dainty nose. " Why would anyone be wearing a trench coat in this heat?"
" I guess some people just are on a different level than others, said Sora with a shrug.
" Now now, ladies, we must be polite." scolded Brock playfully.
" Look whos talking Brock, your the one who drools over any girl you see!" snapped Misty.
" Now hey, thats not true, I- hey whos she!" protested Brock, but alas another pretty face walked past him and he turned into his Girl mode, where all communication is hopless.
" We've lost him."said Misty with a shrug.
" I thought Zombies only existed in bad late night movies." said Mimi.
"You guys really need to put a leash on him." said Sora.
" I've tried." said Misty with a sigh as she dragged Brock away by his ear, leaving the annoyed Girl behind.
" Misty wait, she was about to give me her number!" wailed Brock as he was dragged away.
"Hey guys wait up!" called Matt as he,T.k Gabumon and Patamon caught up to The girls and Brock.
" Hey Matt,hey T.k, Gabumon and Patatmon, where are the others?" asked Sora.
" Ash and Tai are still alseep and Joe thinks he's comming down with a summer cold."
" I see, are you going to visit Izzy?" asked Sora.
" Yeah, how's he doing?"
" Fine I suppose, if not overly bored." said Mimi " His computer needs to be fixed, so he's got nothing else to do."
" Must be driving him nuts." smirked Matt. " So where are you guys off to?" asked Matt.
" Shopping!" said a cheerful Mimi.
To be continued.
