Hi again! Here's the second part, and I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and the first few sections of this story and the last one take place at the same time,(Right when the earthquake started)just from different points of view. And um, my apologies over Izzy and Joe's sucky parts but I'm more of a Matt&Tk fan, so I can't do them very well. Get it, got it, good. Ficward…HO!!!!!!
Disclaimer: Does any body REALLY need these anymore? I don't own digimon, YOU don't own digimon and I doubt Bandai or Foxkids people are ever going to read these.
Izzy Izumi sat at his computer. As always. Today he was researching a report on thermodynamics. It wasn't due for 3 weeks, but what a great way to get ahead! The boy genius typed away for hours, until his project was complete. As he printed out his several page assignment, Izzy allowed his thoughts to wander. They came to a rest on his old friends. He sighed thinking of them always reminded him of Tentomon. But even thought he missed his friend and partner very much, there was someone he missed more. Gennai. In him, Izzy had found a true friend. Although he may not've always had the answers, was more knowledgeable
then anyone in the group, including himself.
Again Izzy sighed. It had been over 2 years since they had heard from the digiworld. Not even an E-mail from Gennai. He was snapped out of his reverie when is printer made a loud noise, to indicate that it was out of paper. Putting his trusty laptop on his back, he exited his room. His parents had been watching a movie and were now a sleep on the couch, in each other's arms. Izzy smiled at the picture and scribbled a note, in case they woke up and found him missing. He carefully opened and closed the door hoping not to wake them.
As the young redhead made his way into town, the ground began to shake. As he ran to find shelter, he saw a tall tree fall on a power line, rendering the city powerless. Taking cover under an awning, Izzy watched in horror as buildings caved in on themselves. Large cracks appeared in the streets, causing cars to collide and burst into flame. Closing his eyes, Izzy wished for it to end and kept them shut until the ground stopped shaking.
He slowly opened his eyes to view the chaos around him. He looked toward the outskirts of town, where the place he called home had been reduced to rubble. His eyes started to water and he fell on his knees. "Nooooo…" was all he could whisper. "Nooo…I've already lost one set of parent, now I have to lose these too?", he said, covering his face with his hands. Izzy sat there crying, until he heard a small blip from his laptop. Taking the computer off his back, Izzy opened it, to find he had Email. Izzy's eyes bugged in surprise when he realized the author's identity.
"GENNAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A few miles outside of Odiba
Joe Kido shifted in his seat. He picked at his food, then squirmed again. He had invited Tai and Sora over for a study session on the up coming test. As the couple was about to go home, Mrs.Kido had invited them to stay for diner. The couple had agreed and soon the family was sitting around the diner table. Unfortunately for Joe, the subject of conversation had turned to career choices, or in Joe's case, choice. Every time his father looked at him, he would beam with pride and drone on about how great a doctor Joe was going to be. Sora, noticing the distressed look on Joe's face, leaned over.
"You haven't told him yet, have you?"She whispered. Joe looked down at his tennis shoes. "No. I'm afraid he'd take it the wrong way." "Well there's no time like the present. And remember Tai and I are behind you 100%""Thanks Sora."
"…isn't that right Joe" Mr.Kido asked his son.
"Huh?"Joe asked, turning back to the conversation. "I was just telling them that you're going to be a world famous doctor someday, right, my boy?" Joe stared at his plate for a moment and then muttered, "Idontwanttobeadoctor." "What was that, Joe?" his mom asked him. "I said I'm not going to be a doctor. And even if I was it should be my decision, not yours. "Joe finished defiantly. As soon he finished speaking, the table started shaking. Soon dishes were flying everywhere, and books started flying off of shelves. Then after a few minutes it stopped. The phone rang and Mr.Kido answered. "Yes. I see. Of course, were on our way."
Everyone looked at him questioningly. "That was the hospital." he said, gathering his things. "An earthquake flattened 1/2 the city, and they need all the help they can get. Let's go family. "Jim and Mrs.Kido stood up from the table and ran to the car. "Wait!" Joe yelled. "I'm coming too.""But I thought you didn't want to be a doctor. "Joe's dad mimicked. "Besides I said family. Your no son of mine"he said in disgust and walked out the door, leaving the three teens to sit in a shocked silence.
