Infection PT2
Deedlit Magic
(Wish I owned Digimon but don't. Ok folk, this is where the fun and games get really off beat. Deedlit Magic has played with fire. This part is guaranteed to warp your perceptions of Digimon. *maniacal laughter* So stop the world and get off quick before it's too late for you as well.
Contains Gay M&M, F&F. None explicit. :denotes thinking to one's self: ### something happening at the same time in another place/ times over lap a lot...sorry! ~~~new time, new part )
Ken sat at his computer with Daisuke at his side. They had managed to escape the Kaizer but it was still digital...Still looking for hosts. He couldn't let it happen again. This time it could be worse. What if an innocent bystander got caught up in it? Could they be saved with out understanding what was going on? He shook off his morbid thoughts and resumed his search. Daisuke seemed to sense his unease and kissed him on the cheek. "It's ok, we've beat it before, we can do it again and again if we have to."
Again and again? Not this time. The virus was about to meet its match. Ken was armed with more then just determination. He had a plan. He would owe Izzy, Joe, and Miyako big time if...when it worked.
"What's that?" Daisuke poked at the monitor. Veemon craned his neck to see what he was pointing at before he fell off of the bed. Wormmon helped him up.
"It found something." Ken sounded excited and terrified all at the same time. Wormmon looked at his partner in complete trust.
###
Tai nodded again as Izzy commented about something. He really wasn't listening. Mom and Dad had gone off on a cruse for their anniversary and Kari was at her girlfriend's house for the weekend. Izzy had come over to keep Tai from eating the wax off of the kitchen floor in boredom.
They were going over some meaningless dribble having to do with networking something and making a Digidestined directory so they could all be accessed quickly in case the world was faced with another possible nemesis. He typed in each person they knew and their Digimon.
"...So we will be able to reach anywhere in the world and get the correct kids...Tai, are you listening to me?" Izzy saved his file with a two-key maneuver and looked at Tai. He had finished pecking out the information with his index fingers and was sprawled on his back staring at the ceiling. "Tai!"
###
"Oh my God...It has down loaded..." Ken began typing furiously, trying to track the data to the user that received the...virus.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Wormmon whimpered.
###
"Hum?" He propped on one elbow and looked at Izzy with a half coherent look. To the sigh he received he rolled his eyes. "Come on Izzy, this is almost as bad as mom's prize Buckwheat Macaroni Spinach Liver Loaf. You are supposed to be entertaining me, not boring me to death."
"You know for a high school student you lack mental stamina." Izzy shook his head, before standing from his chair and stretching. "But what should I expect?"
"Hey, I have plenty of stamina...It's just all physical." He flexed his arm muscle for Izzy, giving him a cocky grin.
"Oh yah?" A small smile found it's way to Izzy's lips. "We'll see about that." Then he pounced on Tai, tickling him. Tai began tickling Izzy back and the two began giggling as they struggled to make the other beg for mercy.
Tai rolled to the top and pinned Izzy down, holding his arms down on either side of him as he sat on his stomach. He was much bigger then Izzy now. Izzy was two heads shorter. "Ok, give up?" He smiled fiendishly and waited for Izzy to concede. Izzy stopped fighting and looked up at him, his cheeks pinked and a strange look in his eyes that tugged on something inside Tai. His smile faded as he studied the look.
Before he really thought about what he was doing he had bent down and kissed him lightly. It sent a surge of panic through both boys that lasted only a second but made them both pull back. Tai smiled ever so slightly, feeling the fast pulsing of the blood in Izzy's wrist beneath his fingers. Then he kissed him again, sliding his hands up Izzy's arms to his shoulders. He was pleased when Izzy began stroking his back with his newly freed hands.
Izzy then licked Tai's lips with a seeking tongue. Tai opened his mouth and took him in before shifting his head so he could slide his own down the side of Izzy's into his mouth. A soft click of their teeth connecting was audible as he explored eagerly. He finally withdrew breathlessly. "Tai...I want...you..."
"Shut up and...take off...your cloths." He struggled to pull Izzy's shirt off. He was taken back by Tai's slightly excessive aggressive behavior but lifted his arms in compliance. His exposed chest was explored immediately by a strong hand as the other cast the shirt aside.
Izzy didn't have to help Tai get his shirt off. It was slung across the room a second later. He stood and pulled Izzy up to his feet, keeping their mouths locked, his hands on either side of Izzy's head.
"Hey!" Kari's voice startled the two apart.
"Oh hi Kari!" Izzy looked at her with his face flaming and his voice unsteady. "...Gee, thanks for getting that...uhh splinter...out of my eye Tai...It's much better now..." He stood squirming, feeling uncomfortable.
"What in the hell are you doing here?!? You are supposed to be at Mimi's all weekend!" Tai yelled at Kari.
"I forgot to get something and I need it. And that must have been some splinter if you had to take off half your clothes." She went into the bathroom and grabbed something.
Izzy grew redder. "We...uh...It was in deep? Yah, real deep!"
"I won't tell mom if you give me your allowance for the next month. By the way, you go Izzy, your communication skills are wonderful. Give me a break, Mimi and I found out a long time ago there are better things to do with Zucchini then eat it..." She stopped suddenly and slapped a hand over her mouth. "Crap!"
"I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me." Tai said coolly. "Now get lost."
"I'm never talking to you again." She jammed her whistle in her mouth and blew it at him, then gave him the finger before leaving.
"Good!" Tai yelled. The door slammed and he turned back to Izzy who was gathering up their shirts. "What are you doing?"
"I think I should go..." Izzy was still flushed. "I'll see you later..."
"You aren't going anywhere." Tai grabbed him by the hair and dragged him into his bedroom before shutting the door and leaning against it. He wedged it shut with a chair as he looked at Izzy who was looking pretty shocked. "Take off your clothes." He told him evenly.
"I don't want to..." He held his shirt to his chest.
"I didn't ask you, I told you!" Tai looked angrily at Izzy.
"What's wrong with you?" Izzy looked closer at Tai. He didn't recognize the manner he had about him as Tai's. "Tai, you are scaring me..."
"I don't care. I am Kaizer, you will obey me."
"Kaizer? Ken was..."
"My host. I now use this body and you will please it." Tai's form moved forward.
###
Daisuke dialed the number...It seemed so familiar...Busy... "They must still be on line."
"We have to go!" Ken picked up his jacket and pulled it on. Then he lifted Wormmon to his shoulder and handed Daisuke his jacket. They headed out the door.
Veemon followed hastily muttering to himself about being forgotten.
###
Tai's form moved from leaning against the door and grabbed Izzy, shoving him onto the bottom bunk of the bed. A tear slid down his face. Kaizer got Tai? Would anyone understand how to help him? Would he himself be alive to tell them? He felt dread well up in him as Tai's familiar smile greeted him as he flopped down on the bed next to him. He wanted him, he wanted the quarky boy that he had called leader to take him in his arms, but not Kaizer.
###
"This is it?" Daisuke looked at the address on the paper then at the door. "But isn't this...?"
"Tai and Kari's? Yes...Um...It's locked...Ring the bell?"
"Ken, that isn't the most brilliant idea. First, Kaizer isn't the kind to answer doors and second I'm sure I can pick the lock!" Daisuke pulled out his Swiss army knife and flipped out a knife and bent down over the lock.
"Great, my lover is a juvenile delinquent." Ken sighed and then looked up wide-eyed as Kari came walking...actually skulking is more accurate...down the walk darkly. "Daisuke, it's Kari! Hide!"
"Why? She could let us in."
"She could be Kaizer!"
"Good point." Daisuke and Ken went running for a pillar and hid behind it. Veemon was all ready there.
"Does everyone think I am lacking in observance today?" Kari grumbled loudly. "Come out you two!"
"She saw us..." Daisuke whispered.
"Duh!" Ken whacked him in the back of the head before grabbing his hand and coming out. "Hey Kari..."
"What are you two doing?" Kari asked, looking at Ken and Daisuke in surprise as they stood before her, hand in hand. "Did my creep of a brother invite you two over too?"
"Too?" Ken echoed her last word as a question.
"Izzy and he are probably in his room being really naked if you know what I mean...Are you a couple too?" Kari unlocked the door and let them in. "I was at Mimi's but I forgot to get something and caught them, but I guess it's good for you I forgot something else." The door slammed, leaving Veemon on the other side...
"Maybe we should tell her..." Daisuke looked at Kari for a moment waiting for Ken to reply.
"Kaizer is here."
"Ken, you seem fine to me." She put a hand on his shoulder. "Did you just start into this relationship? Feelings of guilt sometimes make people blame external or past forces for alternative life styles. I'm sure that most people will be completely supportive of you. I think you make a cute couple."
"KARI!" Daisuke clapped a hand over her mouth. "Kaizer is a virus. Both Ken and I have had it. It came here. Tai or Izzy could be infected."
"Oh...That isn't good. Sorry about talking so much, Mimi was smoking something and it must have gone to my head..."
"I knew that girl wasn't all perfect. That's probably why she wasn't in the movie with us. Hawaii is known for their drugs.' Daisuke slammed his hand into his fist. Then he looked up. "Hu? What were we doing?"
"Saving Tai and Izzy from Kaizer. What drugs are you on?" Kari asked suspiciously.
"Oxygen!" He breathed deep and gave her the thumbs up. "Ok, let's go." Wormmon felt his hopes fading that they would pull it off.
###
Izzy cried softly as Kaizer destroyed his fantasy and twisted it into his nightmare. He screamed silently wanting the conflicting voices in his head to quiet, he didn't notice but he actually screamed out loud.
###
"Izzy!" Ken's head snapped up from taking off his shoes as Kari had insisted. She was sure a pain in the butt when she was high. He ran towards the scream and the others followed close behind him as he came to a halt in front of the door to the bedroom.
###
Izzy blindly jerked at a sheet. He got it free and wrapped it around himself. His body was soaked in sweat and his skin burned with the heat Kaizer left in him. Yet he was cold and raw and terribly exposed. He shook like a leaf, he tried to get a handle on himself. He blinked, trying to rid himself of stinging tears.
Alone...He felt so alone...
###
Ken nodded to each of them and tried the knob but its turning didn't open the door. "Ok, now what?" He looked from Kari to Daisuke.
"Balcony. We can climb across to it from the window." Kari headed for the big bay window. "Daisuke should go first because he is the most athletic. Then me because...It's my plan and then you." She opened the sliding glass and waved Daisuke over.
"Did I mention how much I hate heights?" Daisuke whined as he slung his leg out and over to the balcony.
###
Tai/Kaizer had pulled on his pants and now sat on the edge of the bed. Izzy crept towards him, ripped apart by conflictions. He wanted to be with him. "Come here Izzy." He held out his hand, seeming to sense his dilemma. He took it and T/K (Not Takeru T.K. although I might come to him later) pulled him close. He rested his head against T/K's chest and closed his eyes. He felt the strong arms wrap around him and he was safe. :No, I'm not safe, what am I doing?!? He doesn't want to hurt me! Then why? I resisted! If I am good, then he will be nice to me like this...: Lips brushed his hair and he closed his eyes, soaking in his warmth. "Shuuh."
He was still trembling and tears continued to roll down his cheeks and drip from his chin. He noticed several scratches on his chest when his tears dripped into them, making them sting.
"It's Tai! Kaizer has Tai!" Daisuke began yelling as soon as he looked into the room.
This was a dumb thing to do. Kaizer was alerted to their presence. He stood so abruptly that Izzy ended up in a lump on the floor, tangled in the sheet. "The fools...Came for more I see..." He glanced down, noting the lack of Izzy in his arms. "Get up. I want you to come with me."
"All right." He pulled on his clothes, trying hard to ignore the bruises and aches he had. Tai needed him...He needed Tai. The others were trying to take that away from him.
T/K laid a hand on his head, smiling reassuringly as Daisuke and Kari came into the room. "How nice of you to come visit me, but I'm not quite ready for your company." He had the bedroom door open and was ushering Izzy through as he spoke.
Izzy went through the door and was grabbed by Ken. His voice was urgent. "Come on Izzy, run!" He tugged at Izzy's arm.
"Let go of me!" Izzy screamed in anger, seeing Daisuke launch himself on Tai's back. He haled off and slapped Ken hard. The boy stumbled back and hit the wall. Wormmon landed on the ground, dazed. Meanwhile Tai slammed Daisuke into the door. He dropped to the floor. Kari stood laughing like an idiot...the idiot she was. He glared at her.
"Kaaarrriiii!?! What's taking you so long Honey?!?" Mimi's voice carried through the house like nails to a chalkboard. Before Kari had a chance to reply Mimi staggered around the corner, Veemon clutched to her chest. She was in a pink mini skirt and a bikini top and high heals...all pink...including her ponytail holder. "Oh ho! Looks like you boys are having some fun...A little too much for Daisuke I see." She stepped over him, bending down to take a look at his face. Her boobs blobbed forward making a healthy sized jiggle. Veemon was nearly smothered. She grinned. "Yep, too much for you! Come on Kari! Grab your Zucchini and let's go!"
Kari and Mimi went wandering off to the kitchen. The whole thing took less then twenty seconds and everyone had paused, too shocked to do anything. Daisuke felt blood trickle from his nose and he clutched his shirt hem to it. What was wrong with them?! "Wait a second, I'm low..." He took a deep breath. "Ahhh Oxygen! Ok, Let the weird stuff continue!"
"If you want to continue this, you'll have to come to my place. Farewell!" T/K took Izzy by the arm and they went into the computer room. By the time Ken scraped Daisuke up off the floor and they reached the room only one thing was a reminder that they had been there. The words on the computer...Up load complete...
"Ken, do something!" Daisuke said...or tried to, it came out more like "Den do zomdin!"
"I'm trying...But I don't know how to...AHHH!" They were sucked into the computer and soon the Digital world had them in it's grasp. Wormmon and Veemon made it into the room in time to see the last of their partners. They had been stranded. They settled down in front of the monitor to wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
T/K dealt with his captives, leaving him standing in the vast halls for a few minutes. Then he took Izzy to a bed chamber. They laid together. Izzy put an arm across T/K's chest and leaned into his side...
Izzy found himself alone. He had drifted off with T/K rubbing his back. He was left in a bedroom of the fortress for a long time and he took the opportunity to examine himself.
After climbing out of bed and finding the bathroom, he used the toilet. Then he went to the mirror and looked at the figure reflected. He had dark circles under his eyes. His chest and back had several scratches and bruises with a few stray ones on his thighs and face. Blood that had run from those cuts was dried on him.
He sighed. He wanted this so badly, yet it was the most terrible thing that had ever happened to him.
He felt dirty, completely unclean. How could he do it? How could he enjoy the affections of Tai...no, Kaizer, while Daisuke and Ken got hurt? How could he enjoy it? He turned his back on the horrible image and went to the bathtub. He filled it with very warm water and stepped into it. He knelt slowly, feeling the inviting water creep up his body. The rusty smell of blood filled his nostrils as the dried blood washed away.
He stopped short, grabbing the side of the tub and clinching his teeth. A scratch had met with the water and it stung, the pain knotted his stomach.
His knuckles whitened and he sucked wind. He clutched both sides of the tub and threw himself back into the water. "Angh!" He moaned a cry as the water encased his body, licking his wounds like fire.
He relaxed his abused muscles, letting his body soak. After a while he let the water run out and took a shower, ridding himself of the smells of blood and sweat. The clean soapy smell lingered on his skin as he dried off and wrapped the towel he used around his waist. He brushed his hair with a brush that was sitting on the sink. His reflection looked better. It wasn't exactly Izzy but he probably was never coming back completely.
If not for Daisuke or Ken, then he would help them for himself. He didn't want to see himself die a little more day by day at Kaizer's hands, despite the fact he'd loose Tai's affection. In the bedroom he found a pair of clean jeans waiting for him and a long sleeved shirt. He pulled on the jeans that fit to snugly for his comfort. He tied the shirt around his waist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken woke on a cold hard surface. He couldn't remember what had happened. Had he fallen asleep at his computer and fallen out of his chair again? He reached up and rubbed his eyes sleepily. He sat up yawning and opened his eyes. Bars? "Good morning Sleeping Beauty." Daisuke sounded gloomy. He turned to see him sitting against more thick metal bars next to him.
"Wha?" Ken was very confused.
"Recap time. You were Kaizer, now your good, I was Kaizer, now I'm good, now it's Tai and he's still being Kaizer and he's got us trapped."
"Oh yah...Look's like a bird cage."
"Vulturamon...Not a face I want to see again any time soon. It's out there. We'll stay here." Daisuke told him firmly.
"Well, you seem to have things under control." Ken smiled softly at him. Daisuke scooted over next to him, warm arms wrapped around him, and he leaned into his shoulder. "Do you have any plans?"
"Wait for Kaizer to come back and finish us off or try to escape and make it easy for Vulturamon to eat us. The third option is pray that Izzy comes to his senses soon and helps us himself." Daisuke tried to look hopeful. He failed.
Ken was tired of fighting. It was so hopeless. "Daisuke...I'm scared. What are we going to do?" His voice was more child like then he had ever realized it to be before.
"Ken, I said I would protect you and I mean it." Daisuke ran his fingers through Ken's hair. Ken pulled away and sat on his knees to face Daisuke. They embraced wordlessly.
"How touching!" Tai's voice made them turn quickly in the direction of the voice, terror evident on their faces. Kaizer's influence was evident. Tight red leather pants hugged the body, displaying all of hid features. He had a slightly looser shirt that had fire printed on it. The lower section black, the top red, and the divide blue. The Kaizer glasses sat on top of his head in place of his goggles and red leather boots covered his feet. As he walked, a black cape fluttered behind him. "Our little Digiduds are all lovie dovie."
Izzy followed him around, looking kind of half there. He wore tight jeans and had his shirt tied around his waist. His chest and back bore scratches and bruises. A thick collar hung around his neck. (see pic) He looked at them then buried himself in Kaizer's side. Kaizer patted his head absently as he examined the two caged boys.
"Let Izzy go!" Daisuke yelled angrily at Kaizer.
"I don't have Izzy locked up, Izzy wants to be with me. You should be pleading for your own lives." He ran his hand down Izzy's head and brought his fingers up under his chin. He lifted his face and looked into his eyes. "Go let them out." He purred at him before letting him go to do his errand. "Listen carefully, I have two options for you. One, you choose to follow me or two you run home. If you choose to go home, simply step through that door." He nodded with his head and a shimmering door appeared in mid air.
Ken looked at Daisuke and then at the portal. "Our only chance..." He whispered it quietly.
"But Kaizer has our Digivices...We can't do anything even if we can manage it." Daisuke shook his head. Izzy was there unlocking the cage so he spoke as quietly as he could, directly in his ear. The door swung open and Izzy motioned them out.
Daisuke jumped down, but being his typically graceful self, tripped and stumbled forward. Izzy caught him with a jarring hand in his crotch. He turned bright red, grabbing Izzy's hand and his crotch with both of his hands. "IZZY!?!" Izzy pulled back and turned and walked back to Kaizer.
Ken put a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Are you ok?" That is when Daisuke noticed the things in his hands. The Digivices! Izzy had helped them! He turned his back completely to Kaizer and handed Ken his black Digivice with a cocky grin.
###
Joe was walking home from the library when it began to rain. He ran through the downpour towards his house. Water ran into his eyes and beaded on his glasses, making it hard to see. BAM! He hit someone and went sprawling. "Ow! I'm sorry!"
"Hey you idiot! Watch it!...Joe?" Sora's voice sounded surprised.
"Yah, I'm sorry, I can't really see." He climbed to his feet. He reached for her hand, trying to help her up. He caught a hand full of leaves.
"I get the picture. Here, let me help you." She hooked her arm in his and guided him to his building.
"Thanks Sora." He pulled off his glasses and rubbed the water from his eyes with one hand, then he shook off his glasses, finding nothing on his body dry enough to whip his glasses with. He stuck them back on and blinked. "Oh man, you better come in and put on something dry. You'll catch a cold." Her nipples stuck out proclaiming how cold she was. He turned away and fumbled with the lock, hiding his blush.
###
"Ready to rock?" He walked over to the portal without giving Ken a second glance and put his hand out. It began to digitize. It felt like when a part of your body goes to sleep and then starts to revive. Veemon and Wormmon knocked him back as they burst through. "Whaaa!!!" He fell on his butt.
"It's about time!" Veemon remarked.
"We were starting to worry." Wormmon told him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Daisuke hugged Veemon. "Ready Wormmon?"
"Ready!" Wormmon sounded unsure.
Kaizer shook his head in amusement. "I have your Digivices, they aren't going to do you any good...Huh? Where are they?" He began checking pockets.
"Veemon Digivolv!" Daisuke wielded the device.
"Veemon Digivolv to Flamdramon!" The Digimon proclaimed loudly.
"Wormmon Digital Digivolv." Ken used the Digivice.
"Wormmon Digital Digivolv to Nortonmon!" He turned into a white Pac-Man type creature with an old-timey doctor's head mirror. ( Oh and just so you know, Norton Anti-Virus doesn't belong to me either. )
"What tha?" Kaizer eyed the Nortonmon. Then he turned on Izzy who was busy gaping at Nortonmon. It had actually worked!
###
"Gee, thanks. I'm really cold..." She followed him into the apartment. "I still don't see why it had to rain in the middle of my football game."
"Mother? Father?" Joe looked around, then spotted a note on the table. "I forgot, they went out and wont be back until really late. Well, I'll get you one of my sweaters." He opened the linen closet and pulled out two towels and handed one to her. "The bathroom is in there. I'll bring you something in a minute. Get dried off."
"Ok..." She nodded. "Stupid rain. I hate wet clothes!" She closed the door muttering ill thought words about Mother Nature.
###
"You betrayed me!" Kaizer grabbed Izzy by the back of the collar and lifted him off the ground. Izzy dangled, choking. He tried to hook his fingers in the band around his neck so he could breath, but it had sunk into his skin and he couldn't. He began to turn blue, his eyes widening in terror. "I will rule the Digital world! No one can stop me! Vulturamon attack!"
"Flamdramon, do your thing!" Daisuke encouraged him. Flamdramon began battle with the vulture-like creature that swooped into the area at Kaizer's summon. The fire digimon evaded Vulturmon's attack and blasted the bird with his flame. The two danced the heat of battle, dodging and firing at the other. Suddenly, Vulturmon slammed into Flamdramon, sending his body hurling through the air and slamming into the wall.
"Nortonmon, please get rid of that virus." Ken put a hand on the Digimon, silently saying goodbye, perhaps for the last time. No one had ever tampered with their Digimon like this before. He didn't know the cost, but Wormmon had been eager to take the chance, saying he didn't want anyone to be hurt ever again like Ken had.
The boy in Kaizer's grasp had gone limp by the time Nortonmon had reached him. Nortonmon seemed to explode into glittery specks. They all converged on Kaizer, soaking into Tai's body. "I am immortal! Nothing can defeat me! Mwahahahaaa!" He threw the body of Izzy off to the side like one would toss a book bag when they walk into the house after school.
"Izzy!" Ken went running over to the body. He was blue. He was dead! Izzy had only tried to help them. He didn't deserve this! Ken was afraid to touch him, and just knelt by his side. He looked at his still form. Tai and he had been friends for a long time and now...He couldn't blame Tai though. He had done things like this. Tears welled up in his eyes. He clutched the knees of his pants and began to sob. "Oh Izzy, I'm sorry..."
###
Joe went in to his room and stripped down to his skin. He dried off and put on some gym shorts and a sweat shirt. He grabbed a warm sweater and boxers and took them to Sora. She took it and closed the door.
She didn't say anything about them. She came out of the bathroom and they put their clothes in the drier. "I'm hungry. Got anything to eat?"
###
Daisuke stared in fascination as Tai's glowing body began to convulse. The eyes had tears in them and were fixed on Izzy. He began screaming and dropped to his knees. The scream wasn't like anything he though a human could make. It sounded metallic and warped. He was still fixed on Izzy, angry fear was apparent on his face now.
The light jerked out of Tai, making him fall in a heap. It formed into the familiar shape of Wormmon on the ground and went out, revealing his body. Tai forced himself to his hands and knees, then to stand. He seemed to notice nothing but Izzy. Ken saw him coming and moved away, thinking he was after him.
###
Joe rummaged in the fridge. He came out with some vegetables. He made Sora and himself Ramen. She sat on the counter and watched him, swinging her feet as he cooked for her.
"You do this a lot?"
"Yah."
"It's nice when a man can cook."
###
He made it to his side and dropped to his knees. He took the collar off, leaning his head on Izzy's chest. His heart labored in his chest. Tai straitened him out on his back and tilted back his head. Then he pinched his nose shut and breathed into his mouth. He did it again, then made sure the pulse was still there. It was. He forced more air into his lungs.
Izzy began to cough. He curled into a ball on his side, holding his burned throat. Tai reached a hand out to him, but pulled back. He climbed to his feet, backing slowly away. "I...I'm so sorry...Izzy..." Izzy sat up with Ken's help and looked at Tai with his large intense eyes.
"Tai?" Daisuke ventured, holding Wormmon gently in his arms.
Tai's eyes fixed on Daisuke for a moment, then Wormmon's body, before turning to look at the Digimon fighting it out. "Ouch..that wasn't very nice!" With that, the flame Digimon pushed against the wall and slammed himself into the bird Digimon. Vulturmon was surprised and wasn't prepared for the attack. He sent balls of flame at the evil Digimon, knocking the creature unconsciouses.
"It's my fault..." Tai stifled a sob, before turning and running back to Izzy. He threw his arms around him, tears streaming down his face. "Oh Izzy...I'm sorry...I shouldn't... have wanted...anything it offered...forgive me..." He collapsed in a heap of hiccuping sobs.
Izzy hugged him back, looking at him with love and pity. "Shuh, it's ok. I forgive you."
"I hate to break this up, but that portal is collapsing!" Daisuke pulled Ken to his feet and then turned to check on his Digimon. Veemon came strutting up to them. He gave the thumbs up.
"Tai, please give me a hand up." Izzy requested some help as Tai forced himself to his feet. He nodded and pulled Izzy up easily. He moaned and grabbed his head and the front of Tai's shirt. A moment later he was in Tai's arms, head pillowed by his shoulder.
The four Digi-destined made their way through the portal with the two Digimon that saved the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joe and Sora sat down at the table and ate. Boom. The power went out. "Damn it! Can anything else go wrong?" Sora grumbled as Joe stumbled around using his shin to find furniture. He finally drudged up some candles and lit them.
They continued the meal by candlelight. It was really romantic, even if it was Joe...He was actually cute once you got him out of those geeky clothes. Sora found herself smiling at him.
The phone rang and she almost dropped her dinner in her lap she was so startled. Joe was shaken as well. "He-hello?" He fumbled with the phone. "Ken!...Uh huh!...He's all right?...So it worked?...That's great!...Ok, thanks for letting me know! Bai-bai!" He hung up the phone and danced around the room. "We did it!"
"Did what?"
"Saved the world from Kaizer."
"Duh."
"No, you don't get it! Kaizer is...was a virus that infected Ken. Then it infected Daisuke. Then it got to Tai, but we altered the Digivice; Miako, Ken, Izzy, and me. We integrated Norton Anti-Virus with Wormmon and created a new form. And it worked and Wormmon is ok!"
"So you saved the Digital world and ours...That's sexy." She grinned, grabbing the front of his shirt and caught him in a lip lock.
###
"Are you ever going to take off that stupid shirt?" Daisuke was disapproving of the flame shirt. It was cramping his style. The three boys had stayed in the living room while Tai had put new sheets on Kari's bed. He had changed his pants and lost the cape, but left the insulting shirt on.
Izzy had put on some of Tai's pajamas and was yawning. He had a ruff day, but everything was going to be ok. He sat in a dark shadow, fading fast. The room was lit by natural bee's wax candles and gave off a warm honey scent that was lulling him to sleep.
Tai picked up Daisuke's jacket off the back of a chair. "I don't know, I kind of like the look." He stuck one arm in the jacket and modeled it for Izzy, Daisuke, and Ken.
"Are you sure he is virus free?" Daisuke asked Izzy and Ken suspiciously.
Tai picked up the hem of his shirt and stuck it in his mouth, gurring it. "Nnnn!" (see pic) Then he tossed Daisuke back his jacket.
"Never mind that's Tai." Daisuke grinned. He pulled on the jacket. "It looks way sexier on me." Ken chuckled and hugged him to his chest. (see pic)

(Wish I owned Digimon but don't. Ok folk, this is where the fun and games get really off beat. Deedlit Magic has played with fire. This part is guaranteed to warp your perceptions of Digimon. *maniacal laughter* So stop the world and get off quick before it's too late for you as well.
Contains Gay M&M, F&F. None explicit. :denotes thinking to one's self: ### something happening at the same time in another place/ times over lap a lot...sorry! ~~~new time, new part )
Ken sat at his computer with Daisuke at his side. They had managed to escape the Kaizer but it was still digital...Still looking for hosts. He couldn't let it happen again. This time it could be worse. What if an innocent bystander got caught up in it? Could they be saved with out understanding what was going on? He shook off his morbid thoughts and resumed his search. Daisuke seemed to sense his unease and kissed him on the cheek. "It's ok, we've beat it before, we can do it again and again if we have to."
Again and again? Not this time. The virus was about to meet its match. Ken was armed with more then just determination. He had a plan. He would owe Izzy, Joe, and Miyako big time if...when it worked.
"What's that?" Daisuke poked at the monitor. Veemon craned his neck to see what he was pointing at before he fell off of the bed. Wormmon helped him up.
"It found something." Ken sounded excited and terrified all at the same time. Wormmon looked at his partner in complete trust.
###
Tai nodded again as Izzy commented about something. He really wasn't listening. Mom and Dad had gone off on a cruse for their anniversary and Kari was at her girlfriend's house for the weekend. Izzy had come over to keep Tai from eating the wax off of the kitchen floor in boredom.
They were going over some meaningless dribble having to do with networking something and making a Digidestined directory so they could all be accessed quickly in case the world was faced with another possible nemesis. He typed in each person they knew and their Digimon.
"...So we will be able to reach anywhere in the world and get the correct kids...Tai, are you listening to me?" Izzy saved his file with a two-key maneuver and looked at Tai. He had finished pecking out the information with his index fingers and was sprawled on his back staring at the ceiling. "Tai!"
###
"Oh my God...It has down loaded..." Ken began typing furiously, trying to track the data to the user that received the...virus.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Wormmon whimpered.
###
"Hum?" He propped on one elbow and looked at Izzy with a half coherent look. To the sigh he received he rolled his eyes. "Come on Izzy, this is almost as bad as mom's prize Buckwheat Macaroni Spinach Liver Loaf. You are supposed to be entertaining me, not boring me to death."
"You know for a high school student you lack mental stamina." Izzy shook his head, before standing from his chair and stretching. "But what should I expect?"
"Hey, I have plenty of stamina...It's just all physical." He flexed his arm muscle for Izzy, giving him a cocky grin.
"Oh yah?" A small smile found it's way to Izzy's lips. "We'll see about that." Then he pounced on Tai, tickling him. Tai began tickling Izzy back and the two began giggling as they struggled to make the other beg for mercy.
Tai rolled to the top and pinned Izzy down, holding his arms down on either side of him as he sat on his stomach. He was much bigger then Izzy now. Izzy was two heads shorter. "Ok, give up?" He smiled fiendishly and waited for Izzy to concede. Izzy stopped fighting and looked up at him, his cheeks pinked and a strange look in his eyes that tugged on something inside Tai. His smile faded as he studied the look.
Before he really thought about what he was doing he had bent down and kissed him lightly. It sent a surge of panic through both boys that lasted only a second but made them both pull back. Tai smiled ever so slightly, feeling the fast pulsing of the blood in Izzy's wrist beneath his fingers. Then he kissed him again, sliding his hands up Izzy's arms to his shoulders. He was pleased when Izzy began stroking his back with his newly freed hands.
Izzy then licked Tai's lips with a seeking tongue. Tai opened his mouth and took him in before shifting his head so he could slide his own down the side of Izzy's into his mouth. A soft click of their teeth connecting was audible as he explored eagerly. He finally withdrew breathlessly. "Tai...I want...you..."
"Shut up and...take off...your cloths." He struggled to pull Izzy's shirt off. He was taken back by Tai's slightly excessive aggressive behavior but lifted his arms in compliance. His exposed chest was explored immediately by a strong hand as the other cast the shirt aside.
Izzy didn't have to help Tai get his shirt off. It was slung across the room a second later. He stood and pulled Izzy up to his feet, keeping their mouths locked, his hands on either side of Izzy's head.
"Hey!" Kari's voice startled the two apart.
"Oh hi Kari!" Izzy looked at her with his face flaming and his voice unsteady. "...Gee, thanks for getting that...uhh splinter...out of my eye Tai...It's much better now..." He stood squirming, feeling uncomfortable.
"What in the hell are you doing here?!? You are supposed to be at Mimi's all weekend!" Tai yelled at Kari.
"I forgot to get something and I need it. And that must have been some splinter if you had to take off half your clothes." She went into the bathroom and grabbed something.
Izzy grew redder. "We...uh...It was in deep? Yah, real deep!"
"I won't tell mom if you give me your allowance for the next month. By the way, you go Izzy, your communication skills are wonderful. Give me a break, Mimi and I found out a long time ago there are better things to do with Zucchini then eat it..." She stopped suddenly and slapped a hand over her mouth. "Crap!"
"I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me." Tai said coolly. "Now get lost."
"I'm never talking to you again." She jammed her whistle in her mouth and blew it at him, then gave him the finger before leaving.
"Good!" Tai yelled. The door slammed and he turned back to Izzy who was gathering up their shirts. "What are you doing?"
"I think I should go..." Izzy was still flushed. "I'll see you later..."
"You aren't going anywhere." Tai grabbed him by the hair and dragged him into his bedroom before shutting the door and leaning against it. He wedged it shut with a chair as he looked at Izzy who was looking pretty shocked. "Take off your clothes." He told him evenly.
"I don't want to..." He held his shirt to his chest.
"I didn't ask you, I told you!" Tai looked angrily at Izzy.
"What's wrong with you?" Izzy looked closer at Tai. He didn't recognize the manner he had about him as Tai's. "Tai, you are scaring me..."
"I don't care. I am Kaizer, you will obey me."
"Kaizer? Ken was..."
"My host. I now use this body and you will please it." Tai's form moved forward.
###
Daisuke dialed the number...It seemed so familiar...Busy... "They must still be on line."
"We have to go!" Ken picked up his jacket and pulled it on. Then he lifted Wormmon to his shoulder and handed Daisuke his jacket. They headed out the door.
Veemon followed hastily muttering to himself about being forgotten.
###
Tai's form moved from leaning against the door and grabbed Izzy, shoving him onto the bottom bunk of the bed. A tear slid down his face. Kaizer got Tai? Would anyone understand how to help him? Would he himself be alive to tell them? He felt dread well up in him as Tai's familiar smile greeted him as he flopped down on the bed next to him. He wanted him, he wanted the quarky boy that he had called leader to take him in his arms, but not Kaizer.
###
"This is it?" Daisuke looked at the address on the paper then at the door. "But isn't this...?"
"Tai and Kari's? Yes...Um...It's locked...Ring the bell?"
"Ken, that isn't the most brilliant idea. First, Kaizer isn't the kind to answer doors and second I'm sure I can pick the lock!" Daisuke pulled out his Swiss army knife and flipped out a knife and bent down over the lock.
"Great, my lover is a juvenile delinquent." Ken sighed and then looked up wide-eyed as Kari came walking...actually skulking is more accurate...down the walk darkly. "Daisuke, it's Kari! Hide!"
"Why? She could let us in."
"She could be Kaizer!"
"Good point." Daisuke and Ken went running for a pillar and hid behind it. Veemon was all ready there.
"Does everyone think I am lacking in observance today?" Kari grumbled loudly. "Come out you two!"
"She saw us..." Daisuke whispered.
"Duh!" Ken whacked him in the back of the head before grabbing his hand and coming out. "Hey Kari..."
"What are you two doing?" Kari asked, looking at Ken and Daisuke in surprise as they stood before her, hand in hand. "Did my creep of a brother invite you two over too?"
"Too?" Ken echoed her last word as a question.
"Izzy and he are probably in his room being really naked if you know what I mean...Are you a couple too?" Kari unlocked the door and let them in. "I was at Mimi's but I forgot to get something and caught them, but I guess it's good for you I forgot something else." The door slammed, leaving Veemon on the other side...
"Maybe we should tell her..." Daisuke looked at Kari for a moment waiting for Ken to reply.
"Kaizer is here."
"Ken, you seem fine to me." She put a hand on his shoulder. "Did you just start into this relationship? Feelings of guilt sometimes make people blame external or past forces for alternative life styles. I'm sure that most people will be completely supportive of you. I think you make a cute couple."
"KARI!" Daisuke clapped a hand over her mouth. "Kaizer is a virus. Both Ken and I have had it. It came here. Tai or Izzy could be infected."
"Oh...That isn't good. Sorry about talking so much, Mimi was smoking something and it must have gone to my head..."
"I knew that girl wasn't all perfect. That's probably why she wasn't in the movie with us. Hawaii is known for their drugs.' Daisuke slammed his hand into his fist. Then he looked up. "Hu? What were we doing?"
"Saving Tai and Izzy from Kaizer. What drugs are you on?" Kari asked suspiciously.
"Oxygen!" He breathed deep and gave her the thumbs up. "Ok, let's go." Wormmon felt his hopes fading that they would pull it off.
###
Izzy cried softly as Kaizer destroyed his fantasy and twisted it into his nightmare. He screamed silently wanting the conflicting voices in his head to quiet, he didn't notice but he actually screamed out loud.
###
"Izzy!" Ken's head snapped up from taking off his shoes as Kari had insisted. She was sure a pain in the butt when she was high. He ran towards the scream and the others followed close behind him as he came to a halt in front of the door to the bedroom.
###
Izzy blindly jerked at a sheet. He got it free and wrapped it around himself. His body was soaked in sweat and his skin burned with the heat Kaizer left in him. Yet he was cold and raw and terribly exposed. He shook like a leaf, he tried to get a handle on himself. He blinked, trying to rid himself of stinging tears.
Alone...He felt so alone...
###
Ken nodded to each of them and tried the knob but its turning didn't open the door. "Ok, now what?" He looked from Kari to Daisuke.
"Balcony. We can climb across to it from the window." Kari headed for the big bay window. "Daisuke should go first because he is the most athletic. Then me because...It's my plan and then you." She opened the sliding glass and waved Daisuke over.
"Did I mention how much I hate heights?" Daisuke whined as he slung his leg out and over to the balcony.
###
Tai/Kaizer had pulled on his pants and now sat on the edge of the bed. Izzy crept towards him, ripped apart by conflictions. He wanted to be with him. "Come here Izzy." He held out his hand, seeming to sense his dilemma. He took it and T/K (Not Takeru T.K. although I might come to him later) pulled him close. He rested his head against T/K's chest and closed his eyes. He felt the strong arms wrap around him and he was safe. :No, I'm not safe, what am I doing?!? He doesn't want to hurt me! Then why? I resisted! If I am good, then he will be nice to me like this...: Lips brushed his hair and he closed his eyes, soaking in his warmth. "Shuuh."
He was still trembling and tears continued to roll down his cheeks and drip from his chin. He noticed several scratches on his chest when his tears dripped into them, making them sting.
"It's Tai! Kaizer has Tai!" Daisuke began yelling as soon as he looked into the room.
This was a dumb thing to do. Kaizer was alerted to their presence. He stood so abruptly that Izzy ended up in a lump on the floor, tangled in the sheet. "The fools...Came for more I see..." He glanced down, noting the lack of Izzy in his arms. "Get up. I want you to come with me."
"All right." He pulled on his clothes, trying hard to ignore the bruises and aches he had. Tai needed him...He needed Tai. The others were trying to take that away from him.
T/K laid a hand on his head, smiling reassuringly as Daisuke and Kari came into the room. "How nice of you to come visit me, but I'm not quite ready for your company." He had the bedroom door open and was ushering Izzy through as he spoke.
Izzy went through the door and was grabbed by Ken. His voice was urgent. "Come on Izzy, run!" He tugged at Izzy's arm.
"Let go of me!" Izzy screamed in anger, seeing Daisuke launch himself on Tai's back. He haled off and slapped Ken hard. The boy stumbled back and hit the wall. Wormmon landed on the ground, dazed. Meanwhile Tai slammed Daisuke into the door. He dropped to the floor. Kari stood laughing like an idiot...the idiot she was. He glared at her.
"Kaaarrriiii!?! What's taking you so long Honey?!?" Mimi's voice carried through the house like nails to a chalkboard. Before Kari had a chance to reply Mimi staggered around the corner, Veemon clutched to her chest. She was in a pink mini skirt and a bikini top and high heals...all pink...including her ponytail holder. "Oh ho! Looks like you boys are having some fun...A little too much for Daisuke I see." She stepped over him, bending down to take a look at his face. Her boobs blobbed forward making a healthy sized jiggle. Veemon was nearly smothered. She grinned. "Yep, too much for you! Come on Kari! Grab your Zucchini and let's go!"
Kari and Mimi went wandering off to the kitchen. The whole thing took less then twenty seconds and everyone had paused, too shocked to do anything. Daisuke felt blood trickle from his nose and he clutched his shirt hem to it. What was wrong with them?! "Wait a second, I'm low..." He took a deep breath. "Ahhh Oxygen! Ok, Let the weird stuff continue!"
"If you want to continue this, you'll have to come to my place. Farewell!" T/K took Izzy by the arm and they went into the computer room. By the time Ken scraped Daisuke up off the floor and they reached the room only one thing was a reminder that they had been there. The words on the computer...Up load complete...
"Ken, do something!" Daisuke said...or tried to, it came out more like "Den do zomdin!"
"I'm trying...But I don't know how to...AHHH!" They were sucked into the computer and soon the Digital world had them in it's grasp. Wormmon and Veemon made it into the room in time to see the last of their partners. They had been stranded. They settled down in front of the monitor to wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
T/K dealt with his captives, leaving him standing in the vast halls for a few minutes. Then he took Izzy to a bed chamber. They laid together. Izzy put an arm across T/K's chest and leaned into his side...
Izzy found himself alone. He had drifted off with T/K rubbing his back. He was left in a bedroom of the fortress for a long time and he took the opportunity to examine himself.
After climbing out of bed and finding the bathroom, he used the toilet. Then he went to the mirror and looked at the figure reflected. He had dark circles under his eyes. His chest and back had several scratches and bruises with a few stray ones on his thighs and face. Blood that had run from those cuts was dried on him.
He sighed. He wanted this so badly, yet it was the most terrible thing that had ever happened to him.
He felt dirty, completely unclean. How could he do it? How could he enjoy the affections of Tai...no, Kaizer, while Daisuke and Ken got hurt? How could he enjoy it? He turned his back on the horrible image and went to the bathtub. He filled it with very warm water and stepped into it. He knelt slowly, feeling the inviting water creep up his body. The rusty smell of blood filled his nostrils as the dried blood washed away.
He stopped short, grabbing the side of the tub and clinching his teeth. A scratch had met with the water and it stung, the pain knotted his stomach.
His knuckles whitened and he sucked wind. He clutched both sides of the tub and threw himself back into the water. "Angh!" He moaned a cry as the water encased his body, licking his wounds like fire.
He relaxed his abused muscles, letting his body soak. After a while he let the water run out and took a shower, ridding himself of the smells of blood and sweat. The clean soapy smell lingered on his skin as he dried off and wrapped the towel he used around his waist. He brushed his hair with a brush that was sitting on the sink. His reflection looked better. It wasn't exactly Izzy but he probably was never coming back completely.
If not for Daisuke or Ken, then he would help them for himself. He didn't want to see himself die a little more day by day at Kaizer's hands, despite the fact he'd loose Tai's affection. In the bedroom he found a pair of clean jeans waiting for him and a long sleeved shirt. He pulled on the jeans that fit to snugly for his comfort. He tied the shirt around his waist.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken woke on a cold hard surface. He couldn't remember what had happened. Had he fallen asleep at his computer and fallen out of his chair again? He reached up and rubbed his eyes sleepily. He sat up yawning and opened his eyes. Bars? "Good morning Sleeping Beauty." Daisuke sounded gloomy. He turned to see him sitting against more thick metal bars next to him.
"Wha?" Ken was very confused.
"Recap time. You were Kaizer, now your good, I was Kaizer, now I'm good, now it's Tai and he's still being Kaizer and he's got us trapped."
"Oh yah...Look's like a bird cage."
"Vulturamon...Not a face I want to see again any time soon. It's out there. We'll stay here." Daisuke told him firmly.
"Well, you seem to have things under control." Ken smiled softly at him. Daisuke scooted over next to him, warm arms wrapped around him, and he leaned into his shoulder. "Do you have any plans?"
"Wait for Kaizer to come back and finish us off or try to escape and make it easy for Vulturamon to eat us. The third option is pray that Izzy comes to his senses soon and helps us himself." Daisuke tried to look hopeful. He failed.
Ken was tired of fighting. It was so hopeless. "Daisuke...I'm scared. What are we going to do?" His voice was more child like then he had ever realized it to be before.
"Ken, I said I would protect you and I mean it." Daisuke ran his fingers through Ken's hair. Ken pulled away and sat on his knees to face Daisuke. They embraced wordlessly.
"How touching!" Tai's voice made them turn quickly in the direction of the voice, terror evident on their faces. Kaizer's influence was evident. Tight red leather pants hugged the body, displaying all of hid features. He had a slightly looser shirt that had fire printed on it. The lower section black, the top red, and the divide blue. The Kaizer glasses sat on top of his head in place of his goggles and red leather boots covered his feet. As he walked, a black cape fluttered behind him. "Our little Digiduds are all lovie dovie."
Izzy followed him around, looking kind of half there. He wore tight jeans and had his shirt tied around his waist. His chest and back bore scratches and bruises. A thick collar hung around his neck. (see pic) He looked at them then buried himself in Kaizer's side. Kaizer patted his head absently as he examined the two caged boys.
"Let Izzy go!" Daisuke yelled angrily at Kaizer.
"I don't have Izzy locked up, Izzy wants to be with me. You should be pleading for your own lives." He ran his hand down Izzy's head and brought his fingers up under his chin. He lifted his face and looked into his eyes. "Go let them out." He purred at him before letting him go to do his errand. "Listen carefully, I have two options for you. One, you choose to follow me or two you run home. If you choose to go home, simply step through that door." He nodded with his head and a shimmering door appeared in mid air.
Ken looked at Daisuke and then at the portal. "Our only chance..." He whispered it quietly.
"But Kaizer has our Digivices...We can't do anything even if we can manage it." Daisuke shook his head. Izzy was there unlocking the cage so he spoke as quietly as he could, directly in his ear. The door swung open and Izzy motioned them out.
Daisuke jumped down, but being his typically graceful self, tripped and stumbled forward. Izzy caught him with a jarring hand in his crotch. He turned bright red, grabbing Izzy's hand and his crotch with both of his hands. "IZZY!?!" Izzy pulled back and turned and walked back to Kaizer.
Ken put a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Are you ok?" That is when Daisuke noticed the things in his hands. The Digivices! Izzy had helped them! He turned his back completely to Kaizer and handed Ken his black Digivice with a cocky grin.
###
Joe was walking home from the library when it began to rain. He ran through the downpour towards his house. Water ran into his eyes and beaded on his glasses, making it hard to see. BAM! He hit someone and went sprawling. "Ow! I'm sorry!"
"Hey you idiot! Watch it!...Joe?" Sora's voice sounded surprised.
"Yah, I'm sorry, I can't really see." He climbed to his feet. He reached for her hand, trying to help her up. He caught a hand full of leaves.
"I get the picture. Here, let me help you." She hooked her arm in his and guided him to his building.
"Thanks Sora." He pulled off his glasses and rubbed the water from his eyes with one hand, then he shook off his glasses, finding nothing on his body dry enough to whip his glasses with. He stuck them back on and blinked. "Oh man, you better come in and put on something dry. You'll catch a cold." Her nipples stuck out proclaiming how cold she was. He turned away and fumbled with the lock, hiding his blush.
###
"Ready to rock?" He walked over to the portal without giving Ken a second glance and put his hand out. It began to digitize. It felt like when a part of your body goes to sleep and then starts to revive. Veemon and Wormmon knocked him back as they burst through. "Whaaa!!!" He fell on his butt.
"It's about time!" Veemon remarked.
"We were starting to worry." Wormmon told him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Daisuke hugged Veemon. "Ready Wormmon?"
"Ready!" Wormmon sounded unsure.
Kaizer shook his head in amusement. "I have your Digivices, they aren't going to do you any good...Huh? Where are they?" He began checking pockets.
"Veemon Digivolv!" Daisuke wielded the device.
"Veemon Digivolv to Flamdramon!" The Digimon proclaimed loudly.
"Wormmon Digital Digivolv." Ken used the Digivice.
"Wormmon Digital Digivolv to Nortonmon!" He turned into a white Pac-Man type creature with an old-timey doctor's head mirror. ( Oh and just so you know, Norton Anti-Virus doesn't belong to me either. )
"What tha?" Kaizer eyed the Nortonmon. Then he turned on Izzy who was busy gaping at Nortonmon. It had actually worked!
###
"Gee, thanks. I'm really cold..." She followed him into the apartment. "I still don't see why it had to rain in the middle of my football game."
"Mother? Father?" Joe looked around, then spotted a note on the table. "I forgot, they went out and wont be back until really late. Well, I'll get you one of my sweaters." He opened the linen closet and pulled out two towels and handed one to her. "The bathroom is in there. I'll bring you something in a minute. Get dried off."
"Ok..." She nodded. "Stupid rain. I hate wet clothes!" She closed the door muttering ill thought words about Mother Nature.
###
"You betrayed me!" Kaizer grabbed Izzy by the back of the collar and lifted him off the ground. Izzy dangled, choking. He tried to hook his fingers in the band around his neck so he could breath, but it had sunk into his skin and he couldn't. He began to turn blue, his eyes widening in terror. "I will rule the Digital world! No one can stop me! Vulturamon attack!"
"Flamdramon, do your thing!" Daisuke encouraged him. Flamdramon began battle with the vulture-like creature that swooped into the area at Kaizer's summon. The fire digimon evaded Vulturmon's attack and blasted the bird with his flame. The two danced the heat of battle, dodging and firing at the other. Suddenly, Vulturmon slammed into Flamdramon, sending his body hurling through the air and slamming into the wall.
"Nortonmon, please get rid of that virus." Ken put a hand on the Digimon, silently saying goodbye, perhaps for the last time. No one had ever tampered with their Digimon like this before. He didn't know the cost, but Wormmon had been eager to take the chance, saying he didn't want anyone to be hurt ever again like Ken had.
The boy in Kaizer's grasp had gone limp by the time Nortonmon had reached him. Nortonmon seemed to explode into glittery specks. They all converged on Kaizer, soaking into Tai's body. "I am immortal! Nothing can defeat me! Mwahahahaaa!" He threw the body of Izzy off to the side like one would toss a book bag when they walk into the house after school.
"Izzy!" Ken went running over to the body. He was blue. He was dead! Izzy had only tried to help them. He didn't deserve this! Ken was afraid to touch him, and just knelt by his side. He looked at his still form. Tai and he had been friends for a long time and now...He couldn't blame Tai though. He had done things like this. Tears welled up in his eyes. He clutched the knees of his pants and began to sob. "Oh Izzy, I'm sorry..."
###
Joe went in to his room and stripped down to his skin. He dried off and put on some gym shorts and a sweat shirt. He grabbed a warm sweater and boxers and took them to Sora. She took it and closed the door.
She didn't say anything about them. She came out of the bathroom and they put their clothes in the drier. "I'm hungry. Got anything to eat?"
###
Daisuke stared in fascination as Tai's glowing body began to convulse. The eyes had tears in them and were fixed on Izzy. He began screaming and dropped to his knees. The scream wasn't like anything he though a human could make. It sounded metallic and warped. He was still fixed on Izzy, angry fear was apparent on his face now.
The light jerked out of Tai, making him fall in a heap. It formed into the familiar shape of Wormmon on the ground and went out, revealing his body. Tai forced himself to his hands and knees, then to stand. He seemed to notice nothing but Izzy. Ken saw him coming and moved away, thinking he was after him.
###
Joe rummaged in the fridge. He came out with some vegetables. He made Sora and himself Ramen. She sat on the counter and watched him, swinging her feet as he cooked for her.
"You do this a lot?"
"Yah."
"It's nice when a man can cook."
###
He made it to his side and dropped to his knees. He took the collar off, leaning his head on Izzy's chest. His heart labored in his chest. Tai straitened him out on his back and tilted back his head. Then he pinched his nose shut and breathed into his mouth. He did it again, then made sure the pulse was still there. It was. He forced more air into his lungs.
Izzy began to cough. He curled into a ball on his side, holding his burned throat. Tai reached a hand out to him, but pulled back. He climbed to his feet, backing slowly away. "I...I'm so sorry...Izzy..." Izzy sat up with Ken's help and looked at Tai with his large intense eyes.
"Tai?" Daisuke ventured, holding Wormmon gently in his arms.
Tai's eyes fixed on Daisuke for a moment, then Wormmon's body, before turning to look at the Digimon fighting it out. "Ouch..that wasn't very nice!" With that, the flame Digimon pushed against the wall and slammed himself into the bird Digimon. Vulturmon was surprised and wasn't prepared for the attack. He sent balls of flame at the evil Digimon, knocking the creature unconsciouses.
"It's my fault..." Tai stifled a sob, before turning and running back to Izzy. He threw his arms around him, tears streaming down his face. "Oh Izzy...I'm sorry...I shouldn't... have wanted...anything it offered...forgive me..." He collapsed in a heap of hiccuping sobs.
Izzy hugged him back, looking at him with love and pity. "Shuh, it's ok. I forgive you."
"I hate to break this up, but that portal is collapsing!" Daisuke pulled Ken to his feet and then turned to check on his Digimon. Veemon came strutting up to them. He gave the thumbs up.
"Tai, please give me a hand up." Izzy requested some help as Tai forced himself to his feet. He nodded and pulled Izzy up easily. He moaned and grabbed his head and the front of Tai's shirt. A moment later he was in Tai's arms, head pillowed by his shoulder.
The four Digi-destined made their way through the portal with the two Digimon that saved the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joe and Sora sat down at the table and ate. Boom. The power went out. "Damn it! Can anything else go wrong?" Sora grumbled as Joe stumbled around using his shin to find furniture. He finally drudged up some candles and lit them.
They continued the meal by candlelight. It was really romantic, even if it was Joe...He was actually cute once you got him out of those geeky clothes. Sora found herself smiling at him.
The phone rang and she almost dropped her dinner in her lap she was so startled. Joe was shaken as well. "He-hello?" He fumbled with the phone. "Ken!...Uh huh!...He's all right?...So it worked?...That's great!...Ok, thanks for letting me know! Bai-bai!" He hung up the phone and danced around the room. "We did it!"
"Did what?"
"Saved the world from Kaizer."
"Duh."
"No, you don't get it! Kaizer is...was a virus that infected Ken. Then it infected Daisuke. Then it got to Tai, but we altered the Digivice; Miako, Ken, Izzy, and me. We integrated Norton Anti-Virus with Wormmon and created a new form. And it worked and Wormmon is ok!"
"So you saved the Digital world and ours...That's sexy." She grinned, grabbing the front of his shirt and caught him in a lip lock.
###
"Are you ever going to take off that stupid shirt?" Daisuke was disapproving of the flame shirt. It was cramping his style. The three boys had stayed in the living room while Tai had put new sheets on Kari's bed. He had changed his pants and lost the cape, but left the insulting shirt on.
Izzy had put on some of Tai's pajamas and was yawning. He had a ruff day, but everything was going to be ok. He sat in a dark shadow, fading fast. The room was lit by natural bee's wax candles and gave off a warm honey scent that was lulling him to sleep.
Tai picked up Daisuke's jacket off the back of a chair. "I don't know, I kind of like the look." He stuck one arm in the jacket and modeled it for Izzy, Daisuke, and Ken.
"Are you sure he is virus free?" Daisuke asked Izzy and Ken suspiciously.
Tai picked up the hem of his shirt and stuck it in his mouth, gurring it. "Nnnn!" (see pic) Then he tossed Daisuke back his jacket.
"Never mind that's Tai." Daisuke grinned. He pulled on the jacket. "It looks way sexier on me." Ken chuckled and hugged him to his chest. (see pic)
