For those of you that read the last chapter, I know it was sort of short, but I was going for emotional impact there. Although I think I sort of missed my mark there, I will just go with it. Maybe if this story does well enough I'll go back and edit some of the biggest mistakes I made. Anyway, please read and reply again, I always appreciate your thoughts.

-Chapter Six-
Davis P.O.V.
A little later that night Kari and I were back at her place, Kari was laying in her bed well I was asleep on the floor. When I asked what happened to the bunk beds she told me that after Tai moved out they got her a bigger bed just for herself. After thinking for a while about what had happened that evening I decided there were some things I needed to discuss with her.
"Kari, I was thinking, having me stay here with you might cause some problems between you and T.K., so maybe I should find some place else to stay while I'm here searching for dark digimon, I could always stay with Ken or Yolei."
"No Davis, it's fine, but I've been wondering something since we got here."
"What is it?"
"Why haven't you asked to go see your family, I'm sure they would love to know how you are doing."
My expression grew dark and serious as I told her, "Because I don't plan on living here ever again, once I am certain that none of the powers of darkness have leaked over into the human world, I am returning to the Digital World."
"Oh, so you're not going to stay here with me any longer than your duty tells you to?"
"I'm sorry, but you already have someone here to take care of you, I refuse to just be the third wheel, always watching your happiness, but never quite able to take part in it."
Kari's voice grew very quiet and face became almost… serene, "Davis, you were always more than just the third wheel, you must have known that."
"That's touching, but my mind is made up, I no longer belong in this world, the Digital World is my home now."
Kari stared straight into my eyes for a long time before she snuggled into the blankets and turned the other direction. I lay there thinking about my life for a while, until I was completely sure that she was asleep, then I grabbed Demiveemon and went out to the balcony to get some fresh air. When we got out there Demiveemon crawled down off my shoulder onto the balcony's wall. He turned and looked at me with those huge innocent eyes of his and said,
"Davis, I heard what you said about coming back to the Digital World with me, I want you to, but you know you won't be happy living there alone forever."
"I know Vee but I won't be happy here either, all of these people have been preparing for the last seven years to enter a world that I don't belong to, this world has change a lot since I last lived here, and I will not be able to keep with it's continuing changes."
"Davis, happiness is not something that's handed to you on a plate, happiness is something that you have to fight for every day of your life, and if there's one thing you've always been good at, its fighting for the things you believe in."
"Maybe you're right Vee, but it's getting late, so we'll worry about this tomorrow."
After that, Vee and I went back inside and got some rest. The next morning seemed to be just like any other, we got up at about 7 o'clock, which was when Mr. Kamiya left for work. We got dressed quickly and went out to the kitchen. I made us some bacon and eggs. We were just sitting down to eat when and explosion rocked the building. We both quickly ran for the balcony to see what had happened. An apartment on the next building had exploded.
"Oh my god," said Kari in a horrified tone of voice, "That's Tai and Sora's apartment!"
I grabbed Kari and jumped off the eighth story balcony.
"Vee, digivolve now!" I yelled as I fell.
"Veemon digivolve to… Exveemon!" he yelled as he caught us midair and flew to Tai's apartment. Before we got there I pulled out my digivice and called Gennai.
"Gennai, I want all the other digimon sent to me ASAP!"
"What for?"
"No time for explanations, just do it!"
When we got there Kari and I started sifting through rubble.
"Davis, I sense a digimon, I don't know where it is, but it's strong," said Exveemon, in a strangely worried tone of voice.
"Keep your eyes open then."
Right then the other digimon appeared around me.
"Ok, Tai and Sora are somewhere under this rubble, so everyone pick a spot and start digging!" I yelled.
Before long we heard a coughing sound. We concentrated our digging there and soon found Sora. Tai was laying across her midsection, out cold and bleeding from a deep head wound.
"Kari, you call the hospital, I'm going to find whatever did this!"
"Try not to stand out."
"Kari, this was not random violence, some digimon was trying to kill our friends, so I don't care if I have to demolish every building in the city, I'm going to find this monster and do to him what he tried to do to Tai and Sora!"
"I understand how you feel, but we can't let innocent bystanders get involved in our personal disputes, if that is what this was."
I chose to ignore that comment, instead of responding I turned to Exveemon and yelled, "Vee, you know what to do!"
"Right!"
"Exveemon warp digivolve to… Gigaveedramon!"
I leapt off the wreckage onto the huge blue dragon's back and gave Kari one last meaningful look before I directed Vee to fly off. We had been flying along for 45 minutes when the first police helicopter flew up to get in our way.
"I cannot allow you to scare the populace, if you will not willingly follow me back to headquarters, I'm afraid I will have no choice but to use deadly force," he said through a microphone.
"Look sir, I have no quarrel with you or any other human, but if you don't get out of my way, we will go straight through you."
"You leave me no choice…huh!?" before he could finish his sentence, Gigaveedramon shot his propeller and forced him to eject.
"Good work," I said, patting him on the neck.
"Vee, do you sense the digimon around here yet?"
"Yes, I think it is hiding somewhere in the docks district."
"Ok, take us to him, we'll pay it back for what it did to Tai and Sora."
Vee made a sharp turn towards the harbor district of Tokyo. All the while I continued to hope that no more of the civil defense people would cause us a problem. When we got over near the docks, one of the warehouses to the left of us exploded and gave us our first view of our opponent. It was… Machinedramon! Gigaveedramon let me off nearby and charged into battle. The battle between the two giant mega digimon was not a fast paced battle, but it was a destructive one. Every time one or the other would take a hit and fall they would take out another building. This continued until they had created a pretty nice sized ring to fight in. The battle stayed dead even for over an hour, they were equally matched, neither seemed to be able to overpower the other.
"Gigaveedramon!" I yelled, "We've give the civilians enough time to evacuate, release your power!"
"Ok Davis!"
Gigaveedramon's eyes glowed and an alternating blue and gold aura of flame gathered around him.
"Giga Destruction!" he roared as the aura of flame expanded to take up the horizon. When it dissipated everything within 300 yards of Gigaveedramon was completely destroyed, including Machinedramon.
To Be Continued…
Okay, as I said at the beginning of the whole fic, I wrote this story quite a while ago, at the time I had found a site that said Imperialdramon was Davis's Mega. I did not know that Davis would never get his own real mega on the show, so when I decided to rewrite this, I had to make one up, I hope you don't mind. As for where Davis learned how to make Veemon warp digivolve, it was during his stay in the Digital World. If I ever write a story chronicling that, as one of you suggested, I'll explain the digivolving thing, but until then, I leave it up to your imagination.
