Part 1: Opening Bids
"Its been 2 days already and I miss them. Said Izzy over the phone in his room. "It feels like an eternity. I haven't been able to sleep."
"I know.... I feel the same way." Tai replied. "We didn't even take a picture to remember them by, it never crossed my mind that we would be separated like this."
"Yeah.... Hey! School starts in a week, did you got your schedule yet?"
"I think so..let me look for it, hold on a sec OK?"
"OK" Tai pressed the hold button on the receiver and set it down, then went to the kitchen.
"Hey mom, did you get my schedule in the mail yet?"
"I think so, I put it on the counter over there by the couch" After answering Tai's question she set off to finish making dinner. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes dear" Notifying Tai of the time.
"Ah here it is" pulling the schedule from the stack of magazines and mail. "Thanks mom." Tai went back to the phone and picked it up. "Sorry I took so long, I didn't know if we got it yet."
"That's all right, so what's your schedule look like?."
"aaaah.....oh maaaaannn. Math first period??!!" Tai moaned
"I gather you haven't looked at it yet"
"No I haven't. have you?" Tai asked while glancing at the rest of his schedule.
"Yup, and I already programmed it into my laptop."
"You're a riot Izzy..."
"Dinner's ready" Tai's mother announced from the kitchen.
"I gotta go, ill talk to you later, dinners ready"
"whatcha having?"
"Lemon Swordfish, bleach" Tai stuck out his tongue to display his disgust.
"Sounds good, Ill talk to you later Tai"
"Bye" Izzy hit the power button on his cordless phone and placed it in the cradle. I wonder what the Digimon are doing right now... Izzy wondered while logging on to the Internet. Probably eating.... His mouth watered at the Lemon Swordfish Tai was eating. And he isn't even enjoying it like he should! Lemon Swordfish was one of Izzy's favorite dishes. CONNECTION COMPLETE Was the message displayed on his computer screen when he caught himself about to drool. "Hey mom?" Izzy waited for an answer. "Mom?" He asked again, this time a little louder.
"Yes..?" was the muffled reply from three doors down.
"What are we having for dinner?"
"I just brought home some burgers, come and eat em" Well burgers will suffice for now Izzy thought while leaving his room.
***********
It turned out that Izzy was wrong....the Digimon weren't eating. They were busy fighting off several renegade Digimon under command of someone, but who? Was the question poking at Agumons mind. The same went for the rest of the Digimon as they exchanged attacks. Pepper Breath! Flame spit out of Augmons mouth and rocketed toward a pair of Gazimon busy trying to shock Gatomon. It hit the two in the back knocking them from their balance. Lightning Claw! Gatomon returned fire and finished off the pair.
"Behind you!" Gabumon warned as a Tankmon took aim and fired its main cannon towards Gatomon. Blue Blaster! he mentally said hoping to ignite the shell before it struck. He hit it, but too close. It exploded and flung Gatomon into a nearby rock and knocked her out. Gabumon was hit by pieces of shrapnel that embedded themselves into his flesh. The pain shot up his right leg and back as he countered the Tankmon joined by Byomon. She shot off her spiral twister and it blew off the left machine gun arm just as Gabumon's attack hit it square. It was enough to kill the Tankmon.
"You OK?" Byomon asked Gabumon while inspecting the wounds sustained from the blast.
"Yeah, I'll be fine....lets help the others."
"Right" They both ran in the direction of Agumon and Tentomon who were fighting a Tyrannomon, Gabumon following a little slower. Super Shocker! An electric bolt struck the Tyranomon in the stomach, but did not seem to phase him. His attention seemed to be on the unconscious lump of tan and orange.
"Patamon!!" Byomon screamed as she recognized the same lump that the Tyrannomons eyes were pinned on. "What happened!!??"
"Worry later, him first, unless you want to be in the same position.."Gabumon ordered, now concentrating on blinding the Tyrannomon.
"But what about Gomamon, where is he?"Byomon asked attempting to gather where the whole team was.
"I sent him to get help fr..." Agumon's sentence was interrupted by a fireball fired squarely into him charring his skin and knocking him out.
"Noooooooo" Tentomon cried as he too was hit by another fireball.
"There is no way we can win, we've got to get out of here!" Byomon cried
"Quick, look for a weapon, we can use, Anything!!!" As Gabumon tried desperately to find something he could use. Another Fireball landed with a loud thud rendering the ground jet black three feet away from his side.
"Over here!"Byomon pointed to a brass colored object on the ground. Gabumon barley had a second to see what she was pointing at when she too fell to the attack from the Tyranomon. He scrambled for the object and dove, regardless for his injuries. He picked it up...it was a mortar shell from the Tankmon. He heaved it at the Tyranomon. His pain was now too much for him as he fell to the ground. from loss of blood. He passed out while the mortar was airborne. The blackness consumed his vision, he couldn't tell weather the shell hit or not, and more importantly if it exploded. I....hope....I.....did....y..o.u...pr.o..u..d...M.a...t...t...........
