D3
Tai
I woke up early that morning, not really knowing why. Something weird was happening. I can feel it. I stumbled out of bed, and plumped down on the chair at the table. Mom put out a bowl of Wheaties for me.
"Wheaties?" I grumbled. "C'mon, mom."
"Breakfast of Champions." Kari said as she walked out of her room.
"Well, look who's sunny side up." I said.
Kari stuck her tongue out at me. I pretended that I didn't see her. I crunched down the Wheaties.
"Tai, you're looking slow today. Did you stay up late playing Monkey Madness?"
"No, mom. I don't play that dumb game, remember?"
"That's what you always say when you stay up late playing it."
"Bye, mom. Bye, Tai."
"Goodbye, honey." "Tai, Why can't you be more like Kari? At this rate she'll be at school a half an hour early!"
"Kari's just a showoff."
Kari's probably just going to hang out with her friends.
Not that I care.
"You'd better get going, Tai, or else you're going to be late for school."
I put my bowl into the sink and mom walked to the TV and turned it on.
"What time is it, mom?"
"7:36."
I just do that for laughs. Mom always says it's later than it really is, just to get me moving faster. I checked the clock. 7.29. That always helps me get on mom's nerves.
"Tai, get moving! It's 7:40!"
Still 7:29.
"Okay, mom."
I walked into the bathroom and switched the shower on. I got in and immediately felt a rush of cold water and screamed.
"That's why you should feel the water before you get in."
"Thanks, mom." I said in a mocking voice.
"I heard that, Tai."
Yikes. It's like she hears everything. Anyway, after my shower I got a towel and moved toward the sink. I then brushed my teeth, washed my face and did my hair. This requires expertise not found anywhere else.
"Mom, what time is it?"
"7:55."
I checked the clock. Still 7:29. Just kidding. It's 7:37. I walked into my room and put on some boxers, socks, an undershirt, my gross out and may I mention not at all stylish green pants, and then my matching vest thingy or whatever. The school uniform is completely retarded. I can't stand it.
"Okay, mom. I'm leaving now."
"Goodbye, Tai."
I walked out side my apartment and took the stairs. You know, to stay buff.
"Hey, Tai!"
Izzy called out from across the street just as I exited the building.
"Hey, Izzy."
"Tai, did you remember to study for your physics test?"
"Physics test? Oh, crap! Sora's in my physics class!"
"Sora? What has Sora got to do with this?"
I didn't answer him because I didn't want to.
"Well, that's okay. It's not like I've ever passed a physics test before, anyway."
"Well, that's charming, Tai, but would you look where you're walking?"
I looked and saw that I was in the middle of the street, a car headed right towards me. Izzy was yelling to me from the curb.
"Hurry up, Tai!"
I ran to the curb as fast as I could. I made it, but tired out immediately. Not enough Wheaties, I guess.
"You okay?"
"Yeah." I said, puffing and panting.
"I guess you just went out of it when you thought about Sora."
"New subject, Izzy."
"Did you call her and apologize yet?"
"It's a stupid hairpin, Izzy.
"Oh, I see."
"New subject, Izzy."
I looked around and saw Izzy was not there.
"Hey Tai."
He had already crossed the street. I ran across and met him.
"Next time you do that, tell me."
"Sure thing."
What turned out to be a five-minute walk felt like a half hour. I was so snapped out of it when I thought about Sora. Lately I've been having this burning feeling saying that I must apologize to her. But I've just been ignoring it.
"Well Tai, I'll see you in Physics. I've got Calculus II now."
"Great. Well, I've got um...PE? Oh, man! I forgot my Uniform."
"Ouch. This'll be your third time."
"And you know what Mr. Yagasuki said on the first day of school."
"Three strikes, and you're out." We both said it.
"Izzy, can I borrow yours?"
"Sure thing Tai. Locker 28. 2, 19, 31 is the combination."
"Thanks Izzy. You're a lifesaver."
He shook his head and walked to his class. I bolted downstairs and looked for locker 28. Let's see...24, 26, 30...huh? Oh, here it is. I opened it up and gasped. It was like a walk in closet in there. I pushed a button on the side and a shelf came out of a secret compartment with freshly folded PE uniforms.
"Wow. Izzy's got it made."
I picked up the uniform and walked towards the locker room. I opened the door to find some seniors from the track team changing out of their uniforms. The stench was unbearable. I would have said something, but that would be risking being beat up for the rest of my sophomore year. I walked all the way into the back where the rest of the 10th graders were and the stench was somewhat bearable. After I finished changing, I held my breath and walked out of the locker room. Lo and behold, there she was. Sora. I guess she was on the track team, too.
"Hey, Sora!"
She just walked on by.
"C'mon, Sora! I'm sorry!"
I just walked away.
Gym's an hour long, and it gets hard to move when your legs start sweating and the tight gym pants stick to your legs. I ran into the gym. People were still lining up.
"All right everyone." Mr. Yagasuki said. "Get in teams for soccer.
Soccer? This day's getting better. Everyone picked their teams and I got stuck with like everyone from the JV baseball team. It's okay, they couldn't be that bad, could they?
Well, let me forget what I said before. Sure, they're good at baseball, but not at soccer. We played until our butts were sweating, but got beat. Badly. After that horrible experience I went back to the locker room and changed. I had geometry next. Good. I was tired, anyway.
After catching some Zs in geometry, I had a free. I walked downstairs into the computer lab and grabbed a seat. Matt was hanging out there, but I didn't feel like messing with him. I immediately fell asleep.
"Tai! Tai! Get up."
It was Kari.
"What do you want?"
"Tai, we need your help."
I looked over to the third computer from the left and saw Davis, Yo Lei, Cody and TK standing over there. As usual, TK and Davis were arguing. I got up and walked over.
"Nice job, TP. Now Cody can't find the program."
"It was only a game." Cody said.
"Stop fighting, guys." Yo Lei said.
"No way, Yo Lei. Butt out."
"Stop fighting, Davis." Kari said.
"Okay." He responded quickly.
"So what do you guys want?"
"We've got a strange signal coming from one of these islands." Cody said. "Tentomon is checked it out already, and said it was a giant crest engraved into a rock. He first suggested Davis come check it out, but it didn't work."
"You mean Davis went in to the Digiworld? Don't you guys have school?"
"It's middle school, Tai. Plus our teacher's absent." Davis said.
"All right, but I've only got an hour."
"Good. Digiport open."
Davis held out his D3 and we went inside the computer. When we dropped down, we fell in the middle of a big sand pit.
"Ouch. Sand in my underwear."
"Shut up, Davis."
We walked until we saw Veemon, Patamon, Gatomon, Amordillomon, and Hawkmon.
"Hey guys, glad to see you back." Veemon said.
Everyone reunited with their digimon companions.
"Have you guys seen Agumon?"
"No, not around here."
"The place that we saw is just down that way, but well have to cross a river."
"No problem. Just leave it to me."
"Veemon."
"Armor Digivolve to,"
"Raidramon."
"All right! Raidramon."
"Everyone climb on."
We all climbed on to Raidramon as he ran as fast as a subway train. After about 30 seconds of running, we came across a river. The island was obviously about 350 feet away. Raidramon jumped right across the distance like it was nothing, and landed like a really bad SUV in the mountains.
"Cool ride." I said as I climbed down.
Raidramon turned back into Veemon and walked up to us.
"The crest is over there." He pointed to a giant carving in a wall.
"I don't see a digiegg anywhere." I said.
"This place is totally abandoned." Davis said.
I looked around. Nothing. I walked up to the engraving. This looks weird; I thought.
"Anything, Tai?"
"Nothi-Ahh!"
A giant shock wave surrounded my entire body and lifted me up.
"Tai! Are you okay?"
"I'm...I'm fine."
And I was. The shock felt more comfortable now, and I felt a cool glow inside my body. The engraving began to glow and came out at me. It changed from the form of a blurry crest to an ovalish figure. The force around me forced my arm out, and the ovalish thing dropped in my hands. The force slowly let me down. Everyone ran up to me.
"Tai, are you okay?"
"What is that?'
"I don't know."
I opened my hand and it revealed a weird looking ovalish thing with a screen on it.
"That's a D3!" Davis screamed.
"Tai's got a D3!"
"Wow, Tai. Now you can...do stuff."
"Why would I have a new dig vice?"
A message came up on the screen. Davis read it.
"The time has come for you to return, an evil force has engulfed this land. A stronger team is needed now, and you are the first."
"'You are the first'?" I said. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"I don't know. Let's take it to Izzy and find out."
"The question is, how do we get back?"
"Leave that to me." Veemon said.
Veemon digivolved to Raidramon again and we jumped the lake. We rode into the TV screen and jumped out of the computer. Raidramon turned back into DemiVeemon and we walked towards the door.
"What class does Izzy have now?"
"I think he has Chemistry."
"Let's go."
We walked to room 207 and saw Izzy in there. We waved to get his attention. When he saw us, he raise his hand.
"Yes, Richard." The teacher said.
"May I go to the bathroom?"
"Yes, Richard."
Izzy walked out and turned towards us.
"What are you doing here?" He said.
"Richard?" Said Davis, giggling.
"Take a look at this."
I held up my dark red D3 and put it in his hand.
"How did you get a D3?"
"It was weird. They said they saw something weird, so we went to check it out."
"During school."
"Yes. Anyway, There was a crest of courage engraved on a rock. When I walked up to it, this came out at me."
"Prodigious. Do you think this means that Agumon can digivolve to new levels now?"
"Probably. But we need more time to check it out."
"I'll meet you after school."
"Right."
Davis and the others walked away and I walked down to the first floor. I went to the snack machine to get some shock tarts. I went back up to the computer lab as I ate them.
The rest of the day seemed like an eternity. Well, except for lunch, of course. The weird thing is, I saw Sora like eight times and when I tried to talk to her she just walked away or something. But I didn't get distracted by it.
When after school eventually came, Izzy met us in the computer lab.
"This is amazing. If I'm right, Agumon should have at least two new levels. To get better details I'd have to use my digimon analyzer on my laptop. We can go to my house and do that."
"Great, but-"
"Hey Tai, look at this," Yo Lei interrupted.
"What is it?"
"Another one. Just like the one you had."
"I say we go check it out." Izzy said.
"It's not a party without me." Matt said as he walked up.
"All right then." Davis said. "Here we go again. Digiport open."
