The Time Wars
Part 1
Tai splashed cold water on his face and stared into the mirror. How could this happen? It was as if there was another face staring back at him. It was the same face that he saw when he looked in the mirror in the hospital a few weeks ago, right after learning that he would never walk again. He placed his hands on the wheels and moved his chair out of the bathroom and back into the room he and Sora shared along with their child.
Tai smiled when he saw his daughter, Kasumi sleeping in her crib. He still felt funny when he really thought about it. She was his daughter, part of him was inside of her. He knew that she was going to make him very happy someday.
He turned and moved himself to the balcony of the apartment. Despite the coolness of the summer morning, he emerged with nothing but shorts on. He stopped at the bars and stared out across the city. As he stared down at the busy metropolis, he began to think about all that brought him to this point.
Two kids who claimed to be from the future arrived, bringing warnings of appending Armageddon. They where Todd, a child grown by Datamon from T.K. and Kari's genetic information, and Sabrina, Davis and Yolei's child. They came back and said that in the future, Myotismon rules all, and that all that's left of the Digidestined are their children, led by Kasumi. They said that Kari would die from her light power, and that Tai would be killed giving a speech.
They came back following an assassin called the Kamiya Destroyer. Datamon took this and fused him with genetic information of Tai, Kari, Matt, and T.K., making Digidestined 16. In a battle with him, Kari lost all her power, and Tai's back was broken. The result was Kari was alive and Tai was crippled. Now, the Digidestined, including the now four travelers from the future; Sabrina Motomiya, Todd Takaishi, Kasanagi "Blue" Kido, and Gary Ishida, were counting on Tai to form a force to stop Myotismon from ruining the future.
He felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. Thinking it was Sora, he turned around with a smiled on his face. "Izzy?"
His best friend smiled at him,"Good morning Tai."
"Izzy," he said,"What are you doing here?"
"I'm going to take you to five star hotel where you're giving your speech to the members of the government, remember?" he said, stepping to Tai's side.
"Of course," Tai said,"But that's not until 3:00."
"Do you know how long its going to take to get there?"
Tai sighed. "Great. I've got to spend all day in a car."
Izzy nodded. Together, the two friends watched the sun rise, totally unaware that twenty years in the future, their daughters were doing the exact same thing.
Of course, a sunrise in this hellish future was nothing more that watching the smoke covering the sky become a little lighter and you couldn't go outside at this time of the day, Myotismon's army was patrolling.
So, Kasumi and Erika had found a way around that. They had set up a periscope type apparatus connected to the main computer screens twenty feet below the ground. Erika reached to the console and moved the joystick, turning the periscope to the right.
"Its beautiful, isn't it?" Erika asked.
Kasumi regarded her strangly,"This is the first time I've seen you come close to having emotions."
"You should talk," Erika snapped,"I haven't seen you so much as crack a smile since you were five years old."
"Its hard to smile in the face of Armageddon," she said,"Worse, its looking back."
Erika nodded. "Too true, too true. Well, what are we going to do? Our father's weren't the best with emotions."
Kasumi turned around and started to walk out the door, "At least you knew your father."
"Please," Erika said,"please, stop with the, 'I never knew my father' speech. We've heard it a million times, along with Todd's, 'I never knew my mother'."
Kasumi turned around really fast and ran towards Erika. She raised her fist back and slammed Erika in the nose.
"You have no idea what its like!" Kasumi yelled. She stood up and walked towards the door,"No idea."
Erika slowly rose back to her seat when there was a wail from the computer. Kasumi ran over,"What is it?"
"Intruder alarm," Erika said, her fingers flying over the console,"Its Myotismon's army, they've found us."
"Okay," Kasumi said,"We're the last two here, along with our Digimon. Get everything you'll need to open the time door from somewhere else."
"Why?" she asked.
"We're going to the past."
"Wow," Yolei said,"I didn't think that there would be this many people here."
Davis nodded to her as they followed Matt through the crowd of people.
"Just keep your mind on the mission," Sabrina said, stopping herself before she called Yolei 'mom'. She thought it would be easy to watch herself, but so far it hasn't.
Matt, who was pushing Tai said,"Where's Sora, by the way?"
"We couldn't get a sitter for Kasumi, so she stayed home to watch her. She'll be watching me on t.v."
Cody noticed the nervous edge to his voice,"Are you okay Tai?"
"Sure," Tai said,"I'm just so nervous that I feel as if I'm going to through up, but other than that, I'm fine."
"Don't worry about it," Izzy said,"I'm sure you'll do fine."
Gary nodded. Mentioning to Sabrina he said,"We're here to make sure of that."
"It does feel weird," Sabrina said,"To be here for this, I mean. This is something we've always watched on t.v., and now we're here live."
"Okay," Matt said,"You guys find a table, I'm going to bring Tai up to the stage. The reporters are here, so I'm guessing that its about to began. Good luck Tai."
The announcer held the mike up to her mouth and began to speak,"This is Molly Tibly reporting live from the Shingu Hotel ballroom where Digidestined leader Taichi Kamiya is about to give a speech to the leaders of the government. If he can convince them, the Digidestined may get government funding. As you may already know, Kamiya was engaged in a battle with a killer that took the lives of at least forty people two weeks ago. Injures obtained in that battle has resulted in Kamiya's back being broken, and he is now unable to walk. I have just received word that he is about to start."
Tai adjusted his tie as he made his way to the microphone. He cleared his throat and began. "Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Eight years ago, there was a battle at Heighten View Terrace between two Digimon. A Greymon who fought valiantly against the evil Parrotmon to save the lives of my sister and myself, before they both disappeared. We didn't know it at the time, but six other kids saw this battle beside us. Four years after that, seven of us met at summer camp, Yamato, 'Matt' Ishida, Sora Takenouchi, Koushiro 'Izzy' Izumi, Mimi Tachikawa, Joe Kido, Takeru, T.K., Takaishi and myself were pulled into the Digital World to save it. While we were there a being named Myotismon entered into this world to search for the only one who could stop him, the Eight Digidestined Child, my younger sister. We returned home to battle him. After we did, we returned to the Digital World, the Digidestined Team whole for the first time to stop the Dark Masters. Once we defeated them, their 'master' appeared. Apocalymon was his name, and he was going to destroy Earth. We stopped him and returned home.
All was not well, however. During that summer, a threat appeared on the Internet. Many of you no doubt remember how this evil Digimon entered into the United State Defense system and launched a nuclear warhead at Tokyo in an attempt to destroy the ones who were trying to stop him, the Digidestined. Hundreds of Thousands of e-mails were sent that day, encouraging those of us that were fighting him not to give up. Matt Ishida, Takeru Takaishi, Koushiro Izumi and myself stopped that threat.
Three years after that there was yet another threat in the Digiworld. This time, three new Digidestined appeared, Daisuke 'Davis' Motomiya, Miyako "Yolei' Inoue, and Iori 'Cody' Hida. These three fought against a threat in America, it was there that they met another Digidestined name Williace. Then, in the Digiworld, they met another Digidestined name Michael.
Now, the Battle at Heighten View Terrace was the starting point. The original Digidestined were chosen when they saw that battle. Davis was there the day Myotismon captured the city, Cody was on the plane that Sora's Digimon, Garudamon saved, and Yolei helped us defeated Diaboramon. Williace saw the Battle at Heighten View Terrace, and Michael saw a Digimon after we beat Venom Myotismon.
At the beginning, we thought that we seven were the only Digidestined at all, then we found six more. How many are really out there? There could be an entire army out there to defend this world against the evils of the Digiworld."
Hidden in a both, overhead Gary watched everything as Tai continued his speech. He knew it, of course, he watched it a million time, but....it was so different being here in person.
He scanned the crowed, looking for the assassin when he saw someone stand up, reaching for something in her coat pocket. He watched in horror as she pulled out a gun, he watched in shock as he knew that person, very, very well.
His mind began to race as he thought. "It can't be her, its..it can't be her."
The girl pointed the gun towards the stage, when Gary got control of himself. "TAI, LOOK OUT!"
Tai saw the gun just in time. He fell out of his chair, the bullet piercing his left arm.
"Oh my gosh!" someone yelled,"Someone shot Tai Kamiya!"
The Digidestined in the crowd turn towards the would-be-assissin, only to discover it was one of their own.
"Mimi?" Yolei asked, totally confused, but there was no mistake. It was her pink-haried friend that had pulled the trigger.
Mimi smiled, drooped the gun and ran out of the room. Yolei went after her. Davis was going to follow when Matt stopped him. "Wait," he said,"Tai needs our help, more."
"What about Mimi?" Davis asked, still in shock.
Matt's face was hard as a stone when he said,"We'll find her, don't worry."
Yolei was running as fast as she could, following her friend. She followed Mimi out the door and into an alleyway. Mimi stopped in front of a brick wall, in the middle of the alley.
"There's no where to run," Yolei said, stepping closer."Why, Mimi, why did you do it?"
Mimi smiled and said,"Watch."
Yolei's eyes opened wide as she saw Mimi start to change. Her clothes started to get tight on her as she got taller, her hair started to turn yellow and get shorter, her chest disappeared as muscled began to pop up.
Yolei was unable to move as Mimi turned into Matt. "I..I..I don't believe this," Yolei said.
"Believe it!" Matt said, grabbing Yolei and throwing her into the wall.
Yolei struggled to stay conscious as Matt turned back into Mimi. She blew Yolei a goodbye kiss, and ran off.
