Introduction: I started to write ccs part two to no avail. To be honest, it was terrible so I deleted it and I'm starting it all over again (Just from where I left off).
Tai plopped down behind the wheel and turned the key. "Does your friend need a ride?" Tai turned and asked Izzy. "Nah. She's got a ride with her friend Ai later." he said a little dissapointedly. Tai nodded and backed up slowly. "Is everybody here then?" Joe wondered. He turned and counted 8 people, himself included. "Guess so. Let's go home, I'm beat." he said and proceded to fall asleep on Tai's shoulder. Tai could definitly relate to that. He had a spliting headache and thought of letting someone else drive when he remembered he only had the beautiful red convertible for a few more hours before it was due back. He thought of how great the car was and how he wished he owned it permatly. Before he knew it, he looked around to find everyone asleep. He yawned and realized he was pretty tired himself. His body was starting to feel numb too, as if he had taken some form of morphine. He was so tired in fact, he didn't even see the truck heading straight at them...
Sora opened her eyes to feel that she was soaking wet. The pitter-patter of rain sounded around her and she stuggled to sit up. Her neck was twisted in an odd postition though, making it impossibly painfull to move. She shreiked in pain. "Where am I? I was just sleeping in the car!" she said no louder than a whisper. A sudden flood of memories burned at her as she pictured Tai's frightened scream, the bright headlights, the pain, and everything going dark. She shoved the memories away, knowing immidiatly what it must have meant. "Tai! Kari! Mimi! Anyone?!" she yelled to the best of her abbility. She could feel that she was in the grass with half of her paralyzed torso in the road. If a car came along... Once again Sora forced a bad thought from her mind. She had to focus on how to stay alive and she knew distractions and self pitty were of no use to her now. She strained her ears and still hearing nothing, decided to try and pull herself with her arms. She pushed her elbows hard on the ground, feeling the blood flowing freely from her legs and other various parts of her body as she rolled over. She groaned and dug her fingers into the cold, wet dirt. "You can do it Sora." she said to herself as she pulled with all her might to no avail. She pulled herself slowly, and inch by inch, made it to the side of the road. She reached her weakened hands up to her face and wiped the blood from her eyes. While pulling herself forward, her forhead had hit a stone and now bled badly. She tried not to cry, but remembered no one was around so it didn't matter. She had always hated crying in front of others, but now she let the tears run. She reached her hands down and hugged her body for warmth. Beetween the rain,the tears and the loss of blodd she was freezing. She wished she could be near the fire she saw a little ways down the street. Wait, she thought, a fire?
Matt grabbed his brother TK's arm and shoved him out the stuck window. "You can fit!" he told him as the car filled with water. The car had hit the truck and after spinning out of control, landed in a freezing cold lake. Matt pressed the window down as far as he could but the car was about to hit bottom in a second or two. When it did, the impact would most likley close the window permatly. So Matt had a choise. Who of the two remaining mebers of the car should live? Him or his brother? Matt gave his brother a final shove and tried to squeeze through after him. Just as he was halfway through he felt the car shift and bump on the bottom, closing the window his legs. He watched TK surface and swim back under to him. Everything was getting fuzzy. It felt to Matt like it had been years since he'd breathed fresh, clean oxygen. He wrigled as hard as he could with such little strength and freed one leg. Then everything wnet black. Please don't hurt yourself trying to help me, Matt begged him mentally. Please.
TK looked down at his brother. He'd been kicking like mad one second, and then just went limp in the water,dead. TK's heart ached and raced at all at once as he swam back under the ice cold water to retrieve his brother.herapped his arms around Matt and yanked as hard as he could. Blood stained the water a deep red as TK noticed his brother's leg had been practically cut off by the window on impact. He cringed and recerfaced for air. Once again, he swam down and grabbed his brother under the arms. This time feeling Matt's body come loose and float slowly to the surface. TK swam after it and pulled his brothers lifeless body to shore. "Please live Matt. I love you. You'll be okay." he sobbed into his brothers shoulder as he propped him on his lap. He could feel hypothermia setting in himslef and his brother as cold rain fell on thier already sopping figures. TK took off his belt and put it on his brothers leg asa turnikit to stop the bleeding. He wanted to go get help,but didn't want o leave his brother. That left one option... TK heaved his brother on his back and fell over from the weight. He stood back up determinitly though, and pulled them both forward to the road. He could see a lrge semi in flames down the road, and wished for it's warmth to help him feel strong and safe. He wished a million things as he felt himself pass out cold, his brothers hevy body on top of his.
Izzy clenched his teeth and once again tried to heave himself away from the flames. He had been attempting for what felt like forever to get away and still felt to weak to do much of anything. It was pouring but the flames still licked at his body menacingly. Izzy had already had to put out fires on his back, shoulders, legs, neck and upper torso. He replayed the crash in his head to pass the time; when the car had spun to the river Izzy,Tai, Sora,Mimi,Joe, and Kari had been thrown from the vehicle. Since to everyone's suprise, Matt had been the only one buckled in, he had clung to TK and the two of them had been able to remain in the car. Only to crash in the lake however. Izzy wondered where they were and if they had survived when his thoughts were inturupted by his the fact his side was on fire again. He sreamed in pain and rolled over and over to smother the flames. The flames died down and Izzy saw half of his shirt had been burned away, along with his skin. He crawled to the side of the road and layed down on his less burnt side, careful not to get dirt in his burns. Izzy could feel his breathing coming in sharp, rigid gasp since his breath was draining through the whole in his chest that had been burned away. His head swam in pain. "Help..." he said as loud as he could before he let the darkness take over and evrything go black.
Tai sat bolt upright as sharp stabbing sensations went up his back. He didn't cry or wimper or even think of his pain however, as he saw his sisters body lying in a crumpled heap next to him. He took Kari's hand and shook her gently, not sure if she was alive or not. "Wake up!" he said. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she looked at him. "There you are." she said and closed her eyes. He rejoiced that she was still alive, but felt dpressed that she might not be for long."Just rest." he said and picked her up in his arms. Tai looked around and realized he could see the other seven digidestine, all in worse shape than him. Most of them passed out cold. He walked to the side of the road and laid Kari down behind a tree and in the dryest spot he could find. "I'm gonna go get help. You wait here." he told the comatossed girl and turned to go find someone. She reached a hand up and grabbed his pant leg. "Take me too. I don't want to be alone. I'm scared." she said and statred to cry, her eyes only half open. He stroaked her hair and picked her back up. He felt guilt waying him down as he walked. After all, Tai thought, I was driving. I just had to drive the stupid new car. Now everyone's probably dead an this trucks gonna blow sky hi and kill everyone who still is alive. He let a few tears of heartache drip down his cheeks onto his siters back. The rain made him feel frozen on the spot, but he kept walking until he saw a rode sign. 'Pay phone 1 mile'. Tai gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, dtermined to get help, before it was too late...
Kari lay helplessly in Tai's arms. She didn't want to slow him down, but she could feel her heart beat slowing and knew she was about to die. And the last thing she wanted was to die alone. She felt a few of Tai's warm tears mix with the cold rain drops and started to cry along with him. Her body shook violently and she held onto him tighly. She could almost see a darkness coming to her and decided it was time to tell her brother the truth. "Tai... I think I'm about to die" she said, " And I want you to know I love you." Tai sped up in frustration. "Dammit Kari. I love you too and that's why I'm not goimg to let you -" his voice cracked he cried uncontrollably along with her. They walked in silence for the rest of the trip, both knowing yet demying the inevitable.
Mimi clung to Joe. She knew what had happened and she knew where she was but she still felt confused. "Joe, wake up." she whispered in fear as she realized they were dangeruosly close to the burning truck. Mimi knew she wasn't the worlds next brain child, but she wasn't stupid either and she knew the truck would soon explode.She wanted to move, but knew she couldn't stand up or even sit up. She shhok Joe genly and started to cry as he opened his eyes. "Your alive!" she said happily. He sat up and looked around, confused by thier new surroundings. Hegrabbed his head in pain. "Where are we?" he asked and layed back down next to her. She shrugged and regretted it as a pain shot at her. "I don't know. All I remember is the car crashing." she explained. Joe froze next to her. "What is it?" she asked as cold rain filled her mouth. "There is a body next to me." he said , his voice too frozen with fear. Mimi froze too and assumed the worse. It had to be one of the digidestines, and most probably a dead one. "Can you see who it is?" Mimi asked in a hushed voice, as if afraid the torso would hear and hurt them for disturbing it. Joe shook his head and pulled out a pocket flashlight. It's beam was weakened from being drenched, but Mimi could still see the color drain from Joe's face. She grabbed his waist and held tightly. "Who is it?" Are they okay?" she asked, a little louder this time. Joe seemed in shock as the rain dripped down his pale face. "It's... Izzy. And I think he's...Dead. His whole side is almost comlpetly burned away. You can see bone." He said and Mimi started to cry once again. Her Izzy was dead. Her freind was gone. "Save him Joe!" she practicaly screamed at him in pure panic. "Do something at least!" Joe gave her a sympathetic look and tried to stroke her hair even though Mimi could see the hurt and horror in his eyes. "But he's dead Meems" Joe told her as if she was five. She pulled her hands off his waist as she realized they were saoked in his blood. "She wiped her eyes, spreading red acros her face. "Than I'll help him!" she said. Joe sighed in defeat and turned to Izzy. "Here goes." he said and pulled his wallet out. Mimi cocked an eyebrow at his trange action, but realized what he was doing when he pulled a package from one of the compartments. He unwraped a bandage which he had always carried for emergency causes and then seemed to changew his mind. He handed the bandage to Mimi to put on her bleeding arm and got out an antiseptic stick to put on Izzy's burns. Izzy moaned and flinched. "You can do it Joe." Mimi said supportivley as she closed her eys to go to sleep.
Joe rolled the last of the antiseptic from the stick onto Izzy. He knew it must of burned like hell, but he also knew it could help stop the bleeding and keep Izzy from dying. Feeling contented with his work, Joe layed back down and sighed. He felt freezing cold and exhausted. "Are you awake Meems?" he asked. She didn't answer and breathed slowly. Joe closed his eyes too, feeling sick after looking at Izzy's wounds out of the corner of his eye. He looked at himself to see where all his blood was draining from and making him feel drowsy. The batteries on his pocket flashlight flickered and died right before he could find the source however. "Dammit." he cursed under his breath. It would be easy enough to find the spot judging by if his body weren't numb. "I give up." he said and sighed. He closed his eyes could feel his heart beat slowing down as his body begin to shake. I'm going to die, he realized with shock. Mimi, as if sensing his fear, woke up and looked at him as she shivered. "Are you okay?" she asked. Joe smiled, not wanting to scare Mimi. "I'm fine. Are you cold?" he asked sympethetically. Mimi sneezed. "Stupid question." she said. Joe wrigled next to her as she sneezed again. "Still cold?" he asked as he put his arm over her and blushed. She smiled then frowned. "What about Izzy?" she asked, "He's cold too I bet." Joe squeezed her. "Always thinking of others..." he said and stood up. "Don't leave me, Joe! she pleaded. He pushed Izzy inbeetween them and layed back down with Izzy in the middle. "I'm not leaving, I'm just getting resituated. Good night Meems" he said and fell asleep with a mixture of exhaustion and hypothermia
Tai plopped down behind the wheel and turned the key. "Does your friend need a ride?" Tai turned and asked Izzy. "Nah. She's got a ride with her friend Ai later." he said a little dissapointedly. Tai nodded and backed up slowly. "Is everybody here then?" Joe wondered. He turned and counted 8 people, himself included. "Guess so.
