Part 10:
Tai stared up at the crisp, clear night sky as he floated in the pool. It had been so long since he looked at the stars. He said that he was always too busy, or that the sky was too cloudy, or that it was too 'girly'. Now, however, as he watched them, he realized that they were quite beautiful.
From out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure walk out of the door from the inside of the apartment building.. It was Sora. She was wearing the most beautiful bikini Tai had ever seen her in. He didn't move at all as he just floated there.
"Tai," Sora said, walking over to the side of the pool,"I think its time you came inside."
He didn't answer.
"Tai," Sora said, tears welling up in her eyes,"Please, don't shut me out! You need to talk to someone. You won't talk to any counselors, so please talk to me!"
He didn't answer.
Sora started crying when Davis walked out. "How is he?" he asked.
"He still won't talk to me," Sora said, sobbing.
"Give him a little more time," Davis said,"He just had a major change in his life. Come on."
Sora sniffled and followed him inside.
Once Sora went back inside, Tai turned his head towards the door. He wanted to tell Sora everything, but he couldn't, he needed to be alone and think about what happened. His mind started to wander back to earlier this day.
"Now to finish you off," the figure said, raising his hands into the air. A small orange ball appeared between them and grew larger.
"No," Raidramon said,"It...it can't be!"
The figure smiled as he through the giant ball of energy at Davis and Raidramon.
"Terra Force!"
Davis was glued to the spot as he watched Wargreymon's finishing move fly towards him. He couldn't move, he was too shocked and afraid.
Raidramon, wasn't, however. He quickly charged over, grabbed Davis by the back of his shirt, and hoped out of the way, seconds before the ball of energy slammed into the ground.
Raidramon opened his mouth and dropped Davis. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, "Davis said, shaking his head,"I..I'm okay now."
The figure dropped down and stared at Davis.
"What are you?" Davis asked.
Nefertimon and Kari were heading towards Davis and the figure as fast as they could. Suddenly, Kari opened her eyes wide. "I..I...I don't believe it," she said.
"What?" Nefertimon asked.
"Its...Its Tai!" she said,"He's out at the battlefield, but, he was still at home when we left, writing his speech. How could he have beat us there?"
In another section of the city, Gary Ishida was heading towards the battlefield, riding on top of his Garurumon. Suddenly, Garurumon gasped.
"What is it?" Gary asked.
"I smell, I smell your father!" he said,"He's out there with...with Todd's mother."
"My dad?" Gary asked,"And Kari? I thought I told Blue to talk to him."
"He's there, "Garurumon said,"No doubt."
Also heading towards the battlefield was Todd. He wasn't riding a Digimon, he didn't need to. His psychic powers, more specifically, his telekinese, was propelling him across the city.
"What the?" he asked himself as he flew towards Davis,"Its my father, and Kasumi's dad what are they doing out there?"
"This is impossible!" Pegasusumon said.
"What?" T.K. asked from on top of his back.
"Its your brother," he said,"and Tai. They're out they're, on the battelfield. With..."
"Metalseadramon," Agumon said,"And Machinedramon."
Tai turned away from the balcony of his apartment and turned to his Digimon. "Are you sure?"
Agumon nodded. "I'd never forget their stenches."
"Its Machinedramon!" Kari said,"and...and Lady Devimon!"
"How can that be?" Nefertimon asked,"I defeated her."
"I'm sure about it," Kari said,"she's there with Machinedramon and...huh! No! Please, no!"
"It can't be!" Garurumon said cried out as he jumped over a parked car, racing towards Davis and Raidramon.
"Who now?" Gary asked.
"Its...Its..."
Pegasusumon and T.K. were zooming towards the fight, when he started shivering,"It..It can't be, please, not him!"
"What?" T.K. asked,"Who?"
"Its Piedmon!" Agumon said,"He's out there!"
"This isn't good," Tai said,"He's a Mega Digimon. They'll need help."
"Are we going?" Agumon asked.
Tai thought for a moment, then nodded.
"No!"
They turned around and saw Sora and Biyomon standing in the door to the balcony. "Please," Sora said,"You don't need to go. The Armored Digidestined can handle this."
"Sora," Tai said,"Piedmon's out there. He's incredibly strong. They'll need Wargreymon."
"Please," Sora pleaded,"Don't go. Something terrible is going to happen, I can feel it."
"How can you tell me not to go?" he asked,"Don't you even care?"
"Of course I do!" she said,"But Davis's Digimon is powerful! You don't need to go! How will Kasumi grow up without a father?"
"She won't have to grow up without a father," Tai said, turning around,"Agumon, let's go."
"What's going on here?" Raidramon demanded.
"That's what I would like to know,"
All three of them turned and saw a Garurumon run into view. "Matt?" Davis asked.
"No," Gary said, hopping off of his Digimon,"I'm...I'm Matt's son."
"Matt's son?" Davis and Raidramon asked.
Todd appeared at that moment and landed beside Davis. "Huh? Gary?"
"Todd," Gary said, nodding.
"You know them?" Davis asked.
"Yeah," Todd said,"Unfourtunatly."
"What does that mean?"
"We had some....chose words in the future," Todd said,"why are you here, Gary?"
"Kasumi sent me," Gary said walking over towards to them.
Todd crossed his arms,"I might hate his guts, but he can be trusted."
"Whatever," Davis said,"After we finish taking care of this guy, you'll have to explain this."
"You're not going to start without us, are you?" T.K. asked, riding Pegasusmon, with Kari and Nefertimon behind them.
When Kari landed, Todd turned his head away from her. Kari watched him, strangely. "There's something about him, I can't place it. Am I right? Is he my son?"
"Who's this?" T.K. asked when he saw Gary.
"Oh, that's Gary!" Davis said,"He's your nephew."
"You weren't supposed to tell him that!" Gary and Todd said.
"Why not?"
"Excuse me," the figure said,"I feel insulted!"
"Right," Davis said,"before we start, I think it is only fair that you tell us who you are!"
Back at his house, Izzy tapped on the keyboard as the Digimon Analyzer program from his laptop was being downloaded onto his PC.
"Izzy!"
He sighed as he picked up his phone,"What is it Tai?"
"Izzy," he said,"I'm calling you from my cell phone, so if I'm not to clear."
"Why?"
"Because I'm heading towards the battelfield. Agumon said he smelled Piedmon out there, is the Analzyer up yet?"
Izzy turned back towards the screen. He typed a few buttons,"Tai, its done! I'm checking it now.....this can't be right!"
"What is it?"
"According to this, there are four Digimon out there, Lady Devimon, Metalseadramon, Machinedramon, and Piedmon. And...."
"What is it, Izzy?" Tai nearly shouted into the phone while riding on Greymon's back.
"According to my Analyzer, Matt, T.K., Kari, their Digimon, and you and Agumon are out there."
"Hey," T.K. said,"Wait a minute, that's my shirt you're wearing."
"And those are Tai's goggles," Kari said. She looked down, then back up,"Hey! Those are my shorts!"
"And Matt's hair!" T.K. exclaimed.
"What are you?" Todd asked.
The figure smiled,"I am a some one you fought before. I was the Kamiya Destroyer!"
"No way!" Davis said,"You can't be!"
"I am! I was the Kamiya Destroyer, a being comprised of Lady Devimon, Metalseadramon, Machinedramon, and Piedmon! I was sent back to kill Kari before she revealed an important piece of information to her brother."
"What?" Kari asked,"What are you talking about?"
The Destroyer ignored her,"After you defeated me, the Digimon Emperor found me and brought me to Datamon. He used his knowledge and made me more powerful by fusing me with the DNA matrix's of Tai, Matt, T.K., and Kari. Now, I not only have to power of Lady Devimon and three Dark Masters, I have the power of the strongest of the Digidestined, including their Digimon!"
"So that's how you knew Wargreymon's attack," Raidramon mumbled.
"It doesn't matter if you know Wargreymon's attack!" Nefertimon said,"We'll beat you, Kamiya Destroyer!"
The Destroyer smiled,"I have a better name now, the one that Datamon gave me. I am Digidestined 15!"
"You're Digidestined 15?" Todd asked. "That's the one that causes my mother to...to die," he said to himself.
"It doesn't matter!" Gary said,"If we kill you now, the future won't turn into the horrible place it is. Go!"
His Garurumon crouched back and flung forward. "Howling Blaster!"
15 turned around quickly and slammed Garurumon with the side of his hand. He fell to the ground, but was defended by Pegasusmon who head-butted 15 in the stomach.
15 lurched back. He gritted his teeth in pain, then looked up. "You're powerful, but not that powerful."
"Want to try me?" Pegasusmon said, flying towards him.
15 smiled and pulled his fist back. "Hand of Fate!"
Pegasusmon was too surprised to move. He was hit with his own attack and thrown to the ground next to Garurumon.
"I'm next!" Nefertimon said, charging.
15 flew up into the air, missing Nefertimon's head-butt. He laughed down at her.
"You're pushing it!" she said, flying up towards him.
15's two black wings spread open. "Darkness Wave!"
"Nefertimon!" Kari cried out as her Digimon slammed into the pavement.
"Raidramon," Davis said, between clenched teeth,"Get ready."
"Digidestined 15!" Todd cried, charging towards him in the sky,"I don't know who you are, but I'll stop you before you kill my mother!"
"What?" he asked.
Todd pulled his hands back and fire a bolt of lightning at 15.
15 held out both his hands with the palm side at Todd. "Giga Cannon!" Two blasts of light shot out from his palm and slammed Todd right in the face.
"Great!" Davis said as he watched Todd fall into the defeated pile. "You're the only one left, Raidramon. Get him!"
"Blue Thunder!"
15 laughed. He opened his mouth wide,"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"This isn't good," Gary said as Raidramon joined the others,"How come he's beating us so badly?"
"Because he's using attacks of Mega Digimon," T.K. said,"We need Matt or....."
"Tai!" Kari cried out.
"And Metalgreymon!" Nefertimon managed to mumble from the pile of the defeated fighters.
Metalgreymon stood, dwarfing the tallest buildings around, and Tai was at his feet. "Are you guys okay?" he asked.
"So," Gary thought,"That's the famous Tai Kamiya. He doesn't look so strong."
"We're fine Tai," Davis said, sarcastically.
"Just be careful," Kari warned,"This guy has your power, as well as T.K.'s Matt's, and myself. Plus Lady Devimon and three of the Dark Masters."
"No problem," Metalgreymon said,"Giga Blaster!"
15 smirked as he saw the two missiles heading towards him. His face started to glow. "River of Power!"
The glowing blue beam blasted through the two missiles and nailed Metalgreymon in the chest.
He struggled for a minute, then regained himself, "You can't beat me so easily."
15 growled and reached for his weapons,"Trump Sword!"
Metalgreymon dogged the first two, but the second group scored a direct hit. Metalgreymon felt the two swords slice right through his chest.
"Metalgreymon!" Tai cried to his falling Digimon.
"Its your turn," 15 said, flying down and kicking Tai in the face.
It was almost like slow motion. Tai felt the pain in his face for a moment, then he felt the sensation of flying backwards through the air. He had no idea where he was going or when he was going to stop when he felt the most excruciating pain in the lower portion of his back. He felt the top of his head hit the bottom of his feet. For a split second he wondered why he lost all feeling in his legs and was wondering if they had been ripped off somehow, when the pain became unbearable. The last thing he saw before passing out was Metalgreymon de-digivolving to Agumon and his sister rushing over to him.
"Tai!" Kari cried as she watched her brother fly through the air from 15's kick. She watched him twist in the air and slam his back into a telephone pole. She watched as Tai's legs and the upper portion of his body kept on going. Soon his feet touched his head as his body wrapped around the pole. It was then that she heard the most horrific breaking sound she ever heard, followed by her brother's blood curdling scream. She was rushing over to him as he fell to the ground, unconscious. She didn't know what to do, she was certain that her brother's spine was shattered beyond repair.
"Tai," Kari said, tears coming down her face,"Please wake up. Please."
15 was about to finish them off when he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a blast of flame hit him directly in the face. "Fire Rocket!"
"Ahh!" he cried in pain, grabbing his face,"My face! What have you done to my face!"
"Just a little payback, you s.o.b.!" Davis yelled,"Get him guys!"
15 was still staggering in pain when Gary's Garurumon sliced him across the stomach with his claws. 15 yelped in pain as he grabbed his stomach when Pegasusmon attacked. "Star Shower!"
15 was slammed to the ground. This was all he was going to take. He jumped up into the sky and punched Pegasusmon in the stomach. T.K. was thrown off as Pegasusmon turned back to Patamon. T.K. slammed into the ground with 15 close behind. He was mad. He had been humiliated, and T.K. was the first to feel his rage. 15 slammed onto T.K.'s left leg with all his might, breaking it in two.
He reached down and grabbed T.K. by the back of his shirt collar and threw him into a brick wall. As he slid down, blood was visible on the wall.
"Now to finish you off," 15 said.
"STOP! GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
15 turned around and saw a very ticked off Kari walking towards him. Her body was radiating with energy. Bolts of electricity were flowing all over her.
"I SAID, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" she yelled, walking towards him,"YOU TRY TO KILL MY NIECE, YOU MURDERED INNOCENT PEOPLE TO GET US HERE, YOU'RE SLAUGHTERING MY BOYFRIEND, YOU CRIPPLED MY BROTHER! I AM SICK OF YOU!"
She reached behind her and punched the air. 15 felt an incredible pain in his stomach as he was thrown back into a dumpster.
"Kari?" Davis asked, a little afraid.
Kari didn't say anything as she fired a blast of lightning at 15. He yelled in pain, but then flew out of her attack.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!"
She flew up into the air, placed her palms together and fired a cannon of lightning at him. 15's body started spasiming. "Such......power...." he said,"Power......I...must.....have."
With great effort he lifted his hand and fired a beam of green light at Kari's head. When it hit her, she stopped her attack. Then a stream of white light began to flow out of her body and into 15's hand.
Gary, Todd, and Davis were unsure of what to do as they watched Kari's energy being drained by 15. "What's that?" Gary asked.
All three watched in awe as a glowing star exited from Kari's chest and into 15's hand. Then the white light stopped and Kari fell to the ground, landing in a pile of garbage bags.
15 started laughing uncontrollably as he landed in front of her. She slowly started to sit up when she saw her attacker coming at her.
"I wish I could say its been a please," he said, grabbing his sword,"But it hasn't."
He reached back and was about to slice Kari's head off, when he stopped. He just stopped as the goggles on top of his head started to glow.
"What's he doing?" Todd asked.
"Why am I stopping?" 15 asked himself,"Why can't I bring myself to kill her? She's helpless, why can't I......"
Outloud he said,"Kari.. I'm sorry for what I did to you."
Then he seemed to get control of himself. Placing the sword back in its sleeve, he disappeared.
"What just happened?" Gary asked.
"I think we won," Davis said,"Wait, Tai, Kari, T.A...."
Tai kept staring up at the stars as he floated in the pool. What was he going to do now?
"Tai."
He turned his head to see Matt standing at the side of the pool. "The others are waiting."
Tai nodded. With great effort he turned over to float on his stomach. He used his arms only and swam to the side of the pool. Matt reached down and grabbed Tai by the arms. He lifted him up and placed him in the wheelchair by the side of the pool.
"Thanks," Tai said, as Matt started to push him inside.
"No problem," Matt said.
"How are the others?" Tai asked.
"T.K. is fine, well, except that his left leg is broken, but it'll be healed in a few days."
"What about Kari?" he asked.
Matt sighed,"Well, she's fine. She's also in perfect health. Sabrina and Todd, plus our two new travels agree that when Datamon fused the Kamiya Destroyer with Digidestined 1 5, he changed history. Kari's power, the one that killed her, is gone. 15 took it all out of her, unfortunately, he also took her Crest of Light, meaning Gatomon can't digivolve."
Tai nodded,"And I don't think they said anything about me being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life."
"I'm sorry, Tai," Matt said, stopping in front of the elevator. He pressed the button to open the door.
"Its not your fault," Tai said once they were inside.
Matt pressed the button for the roof and the elevator started to rise. "What are you going to do about the speech?"
"I'm going to still give it," he said,"I am still a Digidestined. Just because I can't walk, doesn't mean Agumon can't digivolve and Izzy and Yolei and working on a special hover chair for me, meaning I can still lead you."
"You can still be our leader," Matt said,"Just you'll have to stay on the sidelines."
Tai flinched at that. It reminded him of the game hell never be able to play again.
The door to the roof opened and Matt pushed Tai out.
On the other side of the city, on another roof, Myotismon stood watching the city below him. His two generals were at his side, the Digimon Emperor to his right, and Datamon to his left.
"Look at this," Myotismon said,"this city, this pinnacle of civilization. It will be the first to fall, and then the rest of the world will belong to me. Our friend from the future says I will succeed, but if I take destiny for granted, it might not come true. I will try even harder to succeed. This world will belong to me!"
Tai looked at the city below him, with his two 'generals' at his side. Davis to the right, and Matt to the left.
"Look at this," he said,"this city, this pinnacle of civilization. Our friends from the future say that this will be the first to fall, and then the world. We have to fight our destiny, we must save the future. I will try even harder to succeed. This world will never belong to Myotismon."
LOOK FOR: THE TIME WARS!
Tai stared up at the crisp, clear night sky as he floated in the pool. It had been so long since he looked at the stars. He said that he was always too busy, or that the sky was too cloudy, or that it was too 'girly'. Now, however, as he watched them, he realized that they were quite beautiful.
From out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure walk out of the door from the inside of the apartment building.. It was Sora. She was wearing the most beautiful bikini Tai had ever seen her in. He didn't move at all as he just floated there.

He didn't answer.
Sora started crying when Davis walked out. "How is he?" he asked.
"He still won't talk to me," Sora said, sobbing.
"Give him a little more time," Davis said,"He just had a major change in his life. Come on."

Agumon nodded. "I'd never forget their stenches."
"Its Machinedramon!" Kari said,"and...and Lady Devimon!"
"How can that be?" Nefertimon asked,"I defeated her."
"I'm sure about it," Kari said,"she's there with Machinedramon and...huh! No! Please, no!"
"It can't be!" Garurumon said cried out as he jumped over a parked car, racing towards Davis and Raidramon.

"She won't have to grow up without a father," Tai said, turning around,"Agumon, let's go."
"What's going on here?" Raidramon demanded.

"Blue Thunder!"
15 laughed. He opened his mouth wide,"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"This isn't good," Gary said as Raidramon joined the others,"How come he's beating us so badly?"
"Because he's using attacks of Mega Digimon," T.K. said,"We need Matt or....."
"Tai!" Kari cried out.
"And Metalgreymon!" Nefertimon managed to mumble from the pile of the defeated fighters.
Metalgreymon stood, dwarfing the tallest buildings around, and Tai was at his feet. "Are you guys okay?" he asked.
"So," Gary thought,"That's the famous Tai Kamiya. He doesn't look so strong."
"We're fine Tai," Davis said, sarcastically.
"Just be careful," Kari warned,"This guy has your power, as well as T.K.'s Matt's, and myself. Plus Lady Devimon and three of the Dark Masters."
"No problem," Metalgreymon said,"Giga Blaster!"
15 smirked as he saw the two missiles heading towards him. His face started to glow. "River of Power!"
The glowing blue beam blasted through the two missiles and nailed Metalgreymon in the chest.
He struggled for a minute, then regained himself, "You can't beat me so easily."
15 growled and reached for his weapons,"Trump Sword!"
Metalgreymon dogged the first two, but the second group scored a direct hit. Metalgreymon felt the two swords slice right through his chest.
"Metalgreymon!" Tai cried to his falling Digimon.
"Its your turn," 15 said, flying down and kicking Tai in the face.
It was almost like slow motion. Tai felt the pain in his face for a moment, then he felt the sensation of flying backwards through the air. He had no idea where he was going or when he was going to stop when he felt the most excruciating pain in the lower portion of his back. He felt the top of his head hit the bottom of his feet. For a split second he wondered why he lost all feeling in his legs and was wondering if they had been ripped off somehow, when the pain became unbearable. The last thing he saw before passing out was Metalgreymon de-digivolving to Agumon and his sister rushing over to him.
"Tai!" Kari cried as she watched her brother fly through the air from 15's kick. She watched him twist in the air and slam his back into a telephone pole. She watched as Tai's legs and the upper portion of his body kept on going. Soon his feet touched his head as his body wrapped around the pole. It was then that she heard the most horrific breaking sound she ever heard, followed by her brother's blood curdling scream. She was rushing over to him as he fell to the ground, unconscious. She didn't know what to do, she was certain that her brother's spine was shattered beyond repair.
"Tai," Kari said, tears coming down her face,"Please wake up. Please."
15 was about to finish them off when he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a blast of flame hit him directly in the face. "Fire Rocket!"
"Ahh!" he cried in pain, grabbing his face,"My face! What have you done to my face!"
"Just a little payback, you s.o.b.!" Davis yelled,"Get him guys!"
15 was still staggering in pain when Gary's Garurumon sliced him across the stomach with his claws. 15 yelped in pain as he grabbed his stomach when Pegasusmon attacked. "Star Shower!"
15 was slammed to the ground. This was all he was going to take. He jumped up into the sky and punched Pegasusmon in the stomach. T.K. was thrown off as Pegasusmon turned back to Patamon. T.K. slammed into the ground with 15 close behind. He was mad. He had been humiliated, and T.K. was the first to feel his rage. 15 slammed onto T.K.'s left leg with all his might, breaking it in two.
He reached down and grabbed T.K. by the back of his shirt collar and threw him into a brick wall. As he slid down, blood was visible on the wall.
"Now to finish you off," 15 said.
"STOP! GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
15 turned around and saw a very ticked off Kari walking towards him. Her body was radiating with energy. Bolts of electricity were flowing all over her.
"I SAID, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" she yelled, walking towards him,"YOU TRY TO KILL MY NIECE, YOU MURDERED INNOCENT PEOPLE TO GET US HERE, YOU'RE SLAUGHTERING MY BOYFRIEND, YOU CRIPPLED MY BROTHER! I AM SICK OF YOU!"
She reached behind her and punched the air. 15 felt an incredible pain in his stomach as he was thrown back into a dumpster.
"Kari?" Davis asked, a little afraid.
Kari didn't say anything as she fired a blast of lightning at 15. He yelled in pain, but then flew out of her attack.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!"
She flew up into the air, placed her palms together and fired a cannon of lightning at him. 15's body started spasiming. "Such......power...." he said,"Power......I...must.....have."
With great effort he lifted his hand and fired a beam of green light at Kari's head. When it hit her, she stopped her attack. Then a stream of white light began to flow out of her body and into 15's hand.
Gary, Todd, and Davis were unsure of what to do as they watched Kari's energy being drained by 15. "What's that?" Gary asked.
All three watched in awe as a glowing star exited from Kari's chest and into 15's hand. Then the white light stopped and Kari fell to the ground, landing in a pile of garbage bags.
15 started laughing uncontrollably as he landed in front of her. She slowly started to sit up when she saw her attacker coming at her.
"I wish I could say its been a please," he said, grabbing his sword,"But it hasn't."
He reached back and was about to slice Kari's head off, when he stopped. He just stopped as the goggles on top of his head started to glow.
"What's he doing?" Todd asked.
"Why am I stopping?" 15 asked himself,"Why can't I bring myself to kill her? She's helpless, why can't I......"
Outloud he said,"Kari.. I'm sorry for what I did to you."
Then he seemed to get control of himself. Placing the sword back in its sleeve, he disappeared.
"What just happened?" Gary asked.
"I think we won," Davis said,"Wait, Tai, Kari, T.A...."
Tai kept staring up at the stars as he floated in the pool. What was he going to do now?
"Tai."
He turned his head to see Matt standing at the side of the pool. "The others are waiting."
Tai nodded. With great effort he turned over to float on his stomach. He used his arms only and swam to the side of the pool. Matt reached down and grabbed Tai by the arms. He lifted him up and placed him in the wheelchair by the side of the pool.
"Thanks," Tai said, as Matt started to push him inside.
"No problem," Matt said.
"How are the others?" Tai asked.
"T.K. is fine, well, except that his left leg is broken, but it'll be healed in a few days."
"What about Kari?" he asked.
Matt sighed,"Well, she's fine. She's also in perfect health. Sabrina and Todd, plus our two new travels agree that when Datamon fused the Kamiya Destroyer with Digidestined 1 5, he changed history. Kari's power, the one that killed her, is gone. 15 took it all out of her, unfortunately, he also took her Crest of Light, meaning Gatomon can't digivolve."
Tai nodded,"And I don't think they said anything about me being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life."
"I'm sorry, Tai," Matt said, stopping in front of the elevator. He pressed the button to open the door.
"Its not your fault," Tai said once they were inside.
Matt pressed the button for the roof and the elevator started to rise. "What are you going to do about the speech?"
"I'm going to still give it," he said,"I am still a Digidestined. Just because I can't walk, doesn't mean Agumon can't digivolve and Izzy and Yolei and working on a special hover chair for me, meaning I can still lead you."
"You can still be our leader," Matt said,"Just you'll have to stay on the sidelines."
Tai flinched at that. It reminded him of the game hell never be able to play again.
The door to the roof opened and Matt pushed Tai out.
On the other side of the city, on another roof, Myotismon stood watching the city below him. His two generals were at his side, the Digimon Emperor to his right, and Datamon to his left.
"Look at this," Myotismon said,"this city, this pinnacle of civilization. It will be the first to fall, and then the rest of the world will belong to me. Our friend from the future says I will succeed, but if I take destiny for granted, it might not come true. I will try even harder to succeed. This world will belong to me!"
Tai looked at the city below him, with his two 'generals' at his side. Davis to the right, and Matt to the left.
"Look at this," he said,"this city, this pinnacle of civilization. Our friends from the future say that this will be the first to fall, and then the world. We have to fight our destiny, we must save the future. I will try even harder to succeed. This world will never belong to Myotismon."
LOOK FOR: THE TIME WARS!
