:) The Titan series Part 23 :)
The world seemed to stop, expesialy for Matt. He wasn't one to give up easily but he had run out
of ideas. Tai was his best friend, even though they fought A LOT but they were still friends.
But maybe he was wrong and the clones were right, maybe Tai did hate him, maybe he was evil, and
maybe Matt was just to busy thinking of himself to realize this. Friends? This had happened before
where they had become enemys and had had to define they're friendship, and to Matt the concept of
the word friendship altogether. But deep down Matt still had a small amount of faith that Tai would
take that sword away from his neck and once again save the day, but this proved more unlikely as his
mind babbled on. 'Guess it doesn't matter now.' Matt thought as he felt the blade reach his neck
and cut his skin causing him to bleed and the rope which had been holding him was now on the ground,
off of him.
"Matt!" Tai yelled grabbing his shoulders so he would wake up, even though he wasn't asleep.
"Wha-" Matt began to say and caught himself talking, it was then he realized that Tai hadn't killed
him. Matt touched the back of his neck where the sword had cut him, sure Tai had cut him and it was
bleeding, but he wasn't dead. Matt looked at Tai in confusion and his sight was still a little foggy
from as it did when Tai first had picked him and he had felt sick, he was still nervous and he wasn't
quite sure why.
"Oh, good." Tai said with a smile, "I thought I'd killed you for real."
"No." Matt said quietly still dazed.
"Okay." Tai said and looked over at WarGreymon, "WarGreymon, come on!"
WarGreymon picked up Matt, Tai and Joe who was holding T.K and put them on his back as the clones
were still running after them with their digimon and firing various attacks at them. MetalGarurumon
and MagmAngemon were flying beside WarGreymon. Meanwhile WarZudomon was trying to hold back the
clones.
"WarGreymon, hold on a sec so I can get Kari." Tai said and WarGreymon lowered himself and Tai ran
off and grabbed Kari.
"I'm not going with you! I have to kill you all!" Kari said kind of whining and kind of demanding.
"Okay," Tai said putting Kari on WarGreymon with the others, "You may do this once the WarGreymon
has come to a complete stop."
"Come on WarZudomon!" Joe yelled and his digimon came running to catch up. And with that the digimon
raced through the forest and lost the clones easliy.
"Yah! We did it!" Joe yelled once they arrived at the place where they had slept the night before
and woke Matt up with his loud voice.
"Not to big a deal, Joe." Tai said, "Everything's okay when I'm incharge."
"You're always incharge."
"That's why everything's okay." Tai laughed and slid down WarGreymon's tail.
"I'm confused." Matt said with his head still pounding but he was okay to get up and he slid down
with Joe and Kari as WarGreymon dedigivolved back to agumon.
"Of course you are, that's what made it so believable." Tai said still proud of himself.
"What?"
"Okay, I just pretended to want to kill you and cut off the rope."
"Well your aim's alittle off." Matt said wiping the blood off his neck.
"But you're okay, I'm okay, we're all okay. So don't worry about it." Tai said happily.
"I guess." Matt said sleepily, "So I'm not dead?"
"Not unless I am, and I don't plan to die young." Tai smiled as he fixed his gloves.
"Okay, but why couldn't you tell me?" Matt asked.
"I needed the clones to believe me and you're not to good of an actor."
"So instead you would rather I freak out?"
"Yup, you were very convincing." Tai said patting Matt on the shoulder then lying against a tree
behind them. Matt turned around to face Tai still alittle shaky but was trying not to show it but
he wasn't a very good actor. "You okay?" Tai asked.
"Yeah." Matt said sitting down so he would calm down.
"Did I scare you?" Tai teased.
"No. I'm tired and I want to goto sleep." matt said closing his eyes.
"Sure." Joe said taking off his glasses and going to sleep.
"Wait! I demand a match!" Kari yelled.
"Maybe tomarrow, Kari." Tai yawned and fell asleep.
* * * * *
"Wake up!" Tai yelled early the next morning.
"What time is it?" Joe said sleepily.
"I don't know but it's been to long!" Tai said and started poking Matt and Kari to wake them up.
"I'm up." Matt yawned.
"Don't touch me Digidestined." Kari demanded hitting Tai's hand and sitting up.
"Okay, let's go!" Tai whistled and and started walking.
Matt and Joe looked at eachother and shrugged, "Where are we going?"
"To find MetalPuppetmon."
"Okay." Matt said picking up T.K who still couldn't walk and went to walk with Tai.
"No you're not!" kari yelled.
"Yes we are." Tai said simply and kept walking and whistling.
"Do you know who you're talking to?!" Kari demanded and walked infront of Tai.
"Yep, my little sister." Tai sang and walked past her.
"No, your sister's gone!" Kari said and MetalPuppetmon lost conrol for a moment.
"Really? I can still see her." Tai smiled and walked on.
