Me: As usual, I don't own Digimon. (sighs) I hate these disclaimers.
Davis: Then let us read them from here on out!
Others: DAVIS!
Me: Okay! (everyone else glares at Davis)
Davis: Come on, guys. I was just trying to help him out…
Tai: GET HIM!
Davis: AHHHHHH! (runs; Tai and the others give chase)
Digimon
The Evil Clone
Chap. III-Tai V.S. Taichi
T.K.: We'd been called to Sora's house because Tai had been kidnapped by Daemon and taken to a remote place in the Digital World. Using his powers of Darkness, Daemon broke through all the recesses of Tai's mind and created a clone that Daemon called Taichi, to differentiate from our Tai. The good news was, Tai escaped. The bad news is, Taichi went after him! They both reappeared at Sora's house and started battling. Agumon Warp-Digivolved to WarGreymon and went to battle BlackWarGreymon but Daemon appeared and made Tai, Taichi and their Digimon disappear! Sora and Biyomon grabbed Tai before he disappeared and they vanished too. Davis and Ken had their Digimon Mega Digivolve to Imperialdramon and we headed off to find Tai and Sora.
Taichi "Tai" Kamiya shivered with extreme cold as he, Agumon, Sora and Biyomon appeared on Mt. McKinley, one of the coldest mountain ranges in Alaska. Tai's clone Taichi, BlackWarGreymon and Daemon appeared moments later. The good news was that it took them about five minutes to appear, so Tai and Sora had some time to talk.
"What are you doing here, Sora? You should be with the others right now instead of with me, freezing your tuchus off!"
"Do you know how worried I was when Daemon captured you, Tai? Do you?!" Tai shook his head. He hadn't seen Sora this upset since the time when she thought her Crest wouldn't glow.
"She couldn't stop crying, even after the others came over when I called them. They all tried reassuring her, including Mimi when Agumon called her-except Matt, but that didn't work either." explained Biyomon calmly.
Tai couldn't believe his ears. Sora had been that worried about him when he'd left? He looked deep into her eyes, which were swelling up with tears right in front of him.
"Sora…he took me to the Digital World. Then he lowered all the defenses in my mind and clouded my thoughts with evil. That's when my clone-Taichi-was created. I managed to get out when Daemon was talking to him about his plans, but I didn't hear any of it. It was dark when I got there and dark when I left. I don't know how I got to your house but I was thinking of you the entire time." After Tai's explanation about his disappearance, Sora's eyes were still brimming with tears but they were tears of joy.
"Tai, I'm just glad you're back! I don't care where we're at-Japan or Alaska-as long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter!" Tai beamed with happiness-then Taichi, BlackWarGreymon and Daemon appeared as he pulled Sora close to him.
"How long 'till we get to Alaska? I'm hungry!" Yolei cried impatiently as Imperialdramon flew onward from New York after picking up Mimi and Palmon. Davis sighed with impatience as he and Ken piloted Imperialdramon. He still had no idea how he'd been attracted to a purple-haired girl who managed to tick him off at every interval!
"According to Izzy's computer, I'd say…about 100 miles or so!" Yolei nearly passed out at that information, but Davis caught her. Kari fumed with jealousy as she observed this on Nefertimon. T.K. noticed this.
"Kari, you okay?"
Kari eyed T.K. with a slight blush on her cheeks and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine."
"How sweet. Male/female bonding. That just SICKENS ME!" With one move, Daemon literally swept Sora off her feet and away from Tai and Agumon! Then, he sent Biyomon flying-against her will!-and she collided against Sora's stomach. Finally, he made a makeshift wall appear that blocked Sora and Biyomon from assisting Tai and Agumon at all!
"Tai, help!" Sora cried out. Tai held back his anger, partially because it wouldn't help him or Sora in this situation.
"Don't worry, Sora. I'll get you and Biyomon out of there! Agumon-Digivolve!" Tai demanded calmly. Tai's Digivice glowed with a bright orange color.
"Agumon Warp-Digivolve to…WARGREYMON!!!"
The two Dragon Digimon faced each other off. Daemon chuckled evilly as he eyed Tai and Taichi.
"The two of you will battle as well. There's a little added bonus to your altercation, however. I shall let you figure it out. Ta!" Daemon disappeared within seconds.
"This shall prove to be a very interesting battle!" Taichi rushed Tai, but didn't do a thing, which allowed Tai to take the first move. He punched Taichi square across his cheek. Tai cried out as he felt the blow connect with his face! Tai felt inside his mouth and his finger dripped with blood!
"Tai, what happened?" Sora asked worriedly.
"Anytime you hit me, you feel the pain instead of me! So, all I have to do is continually hit myself and you'll feel all the pain." laughed Taichi evilly as he started hitting himself. Tai groaned as he felt every blow connect. He dropped to his knees in pain and forced his hands to make fists. The two WarGreymon above were battling a lot better than their partners.
"Gotta…save Sora!" Tai punched himself across the face-hard.
"TAI!" Sora's face was streaked with tears as she observed Tai hitting himself. The good news about this was that Taichi felt all of Tai's blows too.
"That's…what I call…payback!" Tai growled weakly as they both fell to the ground in defeat.
WarGreymon had the upper hand and was seconds away from besting BlackWarGreymon.
"You shouldn't have come back. Terra Force!!"
"I grow weary of this talking. Terra Destroyer!!"
WHAM! The two attacks collided and sent them both spiraling to the ground. BlackWarGreymon hit the ground and lay there, unconscious.
WarGreymon hit the ground and deDigivolved to Agumon. Daemon reappeared and picked Tai up by the scruff of his neck.
"Since I no longer have need for you, as you humans say, 'out with the old, in with the new.' Farewell!" Laughing evilly, Daemon was seconds from hitting Tai with a fire burst of energy.
"NOOOOO! Tai, I LOVE YOU!!" Sora's Digivice shrieked as it glowed with a bright red light. That light destroyed the wall preventing Sora from helping Tai.
"Biyomon Warp-Digivolve to…PHOENIXMON!!!"
Daemon gasped in shock and observed the Mega Digimon up in the skies.
"It's not possible!"
"Where love is involved, anything is possible." Phoenixmon declared calmly. Tai woke up and wrenched himself from Daemon's grasp, then looked up in awe at Sora's Digimon.
"Phoenixmon? You're Biyomon?" Sora asked in amazement.
The Digimon Analyzer appeared as Phoenixmon explained, "Right! As well as Birdramon and Garudamon, I'm Biyomon's Mega form, created by the undying love you have for Tai."
"Phoenixmon, you're awesome!" Tai yelled out. "Finish this guy off once and for all!"
"My pleasure, Tai. Crimson Flame!!" A wall of fire appeared above their heads, then transformed into the Crest of Love. (A/N: I really don't know what this attack is, but this is what I want it to turn out like!) It soared toward Daemon as Tai dived for safety!
"This is a moderate setback. Another time when you are without the help of your friend!" Daemon exclaimed as he, Taichi and BlackWarGreymon disappeared. Phoenixmon deDigivolved into Yokomon seconds later.
"Yokomon! I haven't seen you in a while." Agumon remarked calmly as he got up and walked over to the In-Training Digimon.
"It was thanks to your love that I Warp-Digivolved, Sora!" Yokomon explained.
Tai smiled shyly at Sora, who blushed in response.
"Sora, when Daemon was about to kill me you said that you loved me. Was it true?" Sora blushed even redder, but kept eye contact with Tai.
"Every word, Tai." They were seconds from kissing, but the other DigiDestined interrupted their romantic moment.
"Hey, guys! Get a room! Wait, there are no rooms on Mt. McKinley, are there?" Davis joked as they appeared on Imperialdramon. Tai and Sora reluctantly separated as they glared at Davis.
"Come on, you two. You don't want to get frostbite, do you?" Mimi yelled out. Tai, Sora and Agumon headed toward their friends while Sora carried Yokomon.
Unbeknownst to the DigiDestined, Daemon and Taichi were observing them.
"Now for the next stage of my plan. I now bestow upon you the powers of Darkness! With these new powers and abilities, you shall destroy the DigiDestined's restored Crests as well as the Digi-Eggs. Success will be ours!" Daemon laughed evilly as Taichi disappeared in a burst of smoke…
How will the DigiDestined handle Taichi while he has these newer abilities? And can they protect their Crests and Digi-Eggs from being destroyed or will they fail? Find out in Chap. IV-Destruction of the Crests and Digi-Eggs!
