A/N- "Maybe we shouldn't look for him. Everyone needs to be alone sometimes, I should know." Gatomon
"I'm not going to let him break up this team!" Tai (Trash Day) (Ha, I guess he couldn't let
Matt break up the team but HE can)


The Titan series Part 33


Patamon flew over the forest with no sense of where he was going or where he should go. The sun had
come up by now which made it easier to look, if you call looking down and through a thick forest
easy. But he finally spotted two moving objects and he slowly made his way to them to make sure it
wasn't anyone else besides Tai. He looked closely through the trees and saw Tai and Agumon eating some
fruit under a tree. Although, Tai wasn't really hungry (first time ever) he had too much on his mind
and he looked up and to his surprise he say Patamon.

"Hey! Patamon! Is that you?" Tai called and Agumon stopped eating and looked up and the digimon.

"Yeah, it's me." Patamon said and flew down.

"Cool, where's Matt and Joe and T.K and Kari?"

"They didn't come."

"Okay, then why are you here?" Tai asked.

"I need to talk to you."

"Okay, shoot."

Patamon took a deep breath and explained what Gabumon and Gomamon told him...

* * *

"Patamon! Where are you?" Matt, Joe and the digimon all called the next morning after finding out
that Patamon was missing.

Kari just sat by a tree with Gatomon, they were just watching and pleased as the group was being
split apart. "How long do you think it will be before they're all on their own?"

"At the most two more days." Gatomon replied

"You have a lot of faith in them, but I wish it would last longer I don't want my fun to be over."

* * *

"No!"

"Come on, Tai!" Patamon urged.

"No! I'm not going back!"

"But Tai-"

"No! If that brat wants to come and apoligize he can come himself!"

"Why does he need to apoligize? He didn't do anything. No offence Tai but I think you're the one
who should be apoligizing, you can't expect people to follow you if you're not nice to them."

"Fine! I can beat MetalPuppetmon by-my-self! You're welcome to come if you want." Tai said and
continued walking.

"You're going to defeat MetalPuppetmon?"

"I'm going to try, besides, I think that if I even attack him he'll have to put all his energy and
consontration on the battle which will temperaly force him to let Kari go, after that I'll just kill
him if he doesn't let he go perminately."

"But he's a Titan!"

"I know."

"But-"

"Look, if you want to come than come, if not leave me alone." Tai walked away.

"Sorry Patamon." said Agumon and he ran to catch up with the digidestined.

Patamon heisitated for a moment before he yelled, "Wait for me!" and flew to Tai and Agumon.

* * *

"Come on! Get up!" Matt yelled trying to pull Kari up.

"Leave me, I don't need your help and your search is getting more than boring."

"I can't leave you here."

"Really? I thought you weren't going to be like Tai." Kari smiled and took a bite of the food that
she refused to give anyone else.

"Well, obviously he doesn't mind leaving you alone or he wouldn't of left. So come on!"

Kari rolled her eyes, "Fine, maybe you'll be more fun when we kill Tai." Kari said and started walking.

"We can't kill Tai." Joe protested.

"Why not?" Matt picked up T.K and they walked.

* * *

"Hurry up, Patamon! Look at this!" Tai called and Patamon came to see what they were looking at.
He looked and right across a river was a castle. Only, it wasn't exactly the kind of castle for a
king or queen, it was one that they had seen before. It was MetalPuppetmon's house! "Finally!"
Tai said ran to the river, "Come on guys! There's no turning back now." Tai said excitedly.

"We're coming!" Patamon and Agumon said and they ran (or flew) to where Tai was.

"All we have to do is cross the river and we can fight MetalPuppetmon, okay Agumon, digivolve!"

"Agumon warp digivolve to... WarGreymon!"

"Let's go!" Patamon and Tai went on WarGreymon and he took them across the river and to find MetalPuppetmon
so that Kari would be back to normal, or atleast that's what they hoped. Once they got on the other
side Tai jumped off and started looking for MetalPuppetmon. He looked in the house, up and down
the stairs he went calling for MetalPuppetmon but he didn't come. Then he went outside where the
digimon were looking. He checked everywhere but he couldn't find him. "Maybe he's not home." Tai
said turning to WarGreymon and Patamon who were looking aswell. Tai sighed with disappointment
and leaned against a tree.

"Picka boo!" MetalPuppetmon jumped out of the tree and grabbed Tai.

"WarGreymon!"

"Terra Force!" WarGreymon fired and hit MetalPuppetmon and he let go of Tai.

"Puppet Hammer!" With one hit WarGreymon was hurt very badly. As the battle went on MetalPuppetmon
slowly lost control over Kari and focused his energy on the battle, just as Tai had said...

* * *

They walked on in search of Patamon with Kari in the back slowly walking along. Matt looked back at
her, "Come on! Hurry up!" Matt called to Kari, but she collapsed on the floor with no warning.
Everyone ran to where she lay and she slowly opened her eyes again and sat up.

"Matt! And Joe!" She yelled hugging them.

"Huh? Kari? Are you okay?"

"Never better."

"What happened? I thought MetalPuppetmon was controling you."

"He was." Kari said happily.

"Did Tai kill him?"

"I don't know." Kari admitted and walked over to Gatomon and tried to pull out the blackgear in her back.

"Ow!" Gatomon hissed and Kari got it out and it broke.

"Okay, enough of that. Let's go find Patamon." Matt said and continued walking.

"And then my brother?"

"We're not looking for him, he can take care of himself."

* * *

"Get up, WarGreymon!" Tai yelled to his digimon who had been knocked down over ten times.

"I have no strength." He said and tried to get up but fell again.

"Terra Force!" MetalPuppetmon was knocked over by a WarGreymon from behind him.

"Evil Tai!" Tai's clone yelled and ran over to Tai.

"Huh?"

"I've been looking for you!"

"You have?"

"Yes, Evil Tai." The clone said happily.

"Just call me plain Tai." Tai insisted.

"Evil Tai suits you better."

"Whatever. What are you doing here?"

"To help you out." Tai's clone said, "And by the looks of it you needed lots of help."

"I was doing okay."

"Of course you were. Where's your other friends?"

"Not here." Tai said simply as the two WarGreymons fought MetalPuppetmon.

"Oh, you killed them."

"No."

"Sure you didn't, well Evil Matt, Joe and T.K are coming, I just ran ahead."

"Metal Wolf Claw!"

"Lightning sword!"

"Staff of Destiny!"

"That would be them." Tai's clone said as the others came and the digimon continued the battle
that they were going to lose. Atleast the odds were better, but even with five megas and one rookie
it's pretty unlikely that they can defeat a Titan, the most powerful of all the types of Digimon.
