Chapter 10: Our Digital World


The next day, all the DigiDestineds were sitting in Tai's room along with their Digimon, while I explained what the
procedure was when we got to the Digital World.


"We're going to meet up with Gennai at the lake and then I'm going to take Tai and Agumon for training while Gennai
explains everything." I justified.


I looked over to Tai who was sneaking glances at my sister and daydreaming while Sora tried to keep her attention on
me. He probably didn't hear a word I said.


"Tai, did you hear me?" I asked snapping him out of his daze.

"Yeah, training...cool." He replied dumbly.

"Anyway, did you guys have any luck getting a hold of the other DigiDestineds?" I asked
Izzy and Joe.

"Yeah we did, but they told us that we could meet them at Gennai's place." Izzy replied.

"So, are we going to leave or sit on our butts all day?" Serge inquired impatiently.

"All right, we'll leave!" I yelled at him. "Are you guys ready?"


They all nodded there heads. Now there was one thing we still needed to be done.


"Who want's to open the Digi-port?" I asked.

"I will!" Davis replied jumping out of his seat.


He walked up to the computer screen and held up his D-3 in front of it. Then he
shouted:


"Digi-Port open!"


We all held up our own Digivices and we were all suck into the computer and then
landed in the DigiWorld.


"Whoa! What a ride!" Serge exclaimed.

"Your telling me." Gwen replied.

"It wasn't that bad." I answered.

"Well, not everyone has mysterious powers like you do." Max cut in.

"So how are we going to get there?" a voice asked.

"Don't worry about it Tai." I began. "Some of you guys have flying Digimon, right?"


He nodded.


"So we're going to fly there." I concluded. "It's a lot faster than walking."

"Logically speaking," Izzy began. "Sora's Digimon is large enough to carry us all, so
Biyomon can just Digivolve to Ultimate."

"I'm not going to argue with ya Izzy." I replied. "That okay with you Squirt?"

"Yup."

"I can handle it!" Biyomon responded confidently.

"Do your thing Biyomon." Sora said raising her Digivice.

"Biyomon Digivolve to...Birdramon!"

"Birdramon Digivolve to...Garudamon!"

"Let's go!" Tai shouted.


We all climbed into Garudamon's hands and began to fly to the lake that hid Gennai's house.
I gave directions on the way there because I walked there so many times when I was younger.


We got there about a half hour later and I spotted Gennai and Piximon standing near the lake
waiting for us.


"Yo Gennai! Piximon!" I greeted when we landed. "Long time no see!"

"Yeah. And Gennai didn't age one bit!" Serge joked.

"You can never be serious, can you Serge?" Ken asked.

"Nope. Then I'd be Tyler." He replied.

"Y'know, I am standing right behind you." I informed him.

"You've only been here for a minute and you two are already arguing." Piximon began. "Some things never
change."

"I wouldn't say that. Gwen and Ty argue a lot more than before because they lov-OW!"


Gwen silenced him by stepping on his foot really hard. If he thought that hurt, wait till he sees what I'm
going to do to him later.


"I say it's high time you guys met with the rest of the DigiDestineds." Gennai suggested. "Follow me."


The water had been already risen so all we had to do was walk down the stairs. Everyone was there and they had already
started their training.


When we reach the bottom of the stairs I spotted our Digimon near the combat field teaching the other Digimon new
fighting techniques.


"There they are." Gwen said in a hushed whisper.


Gennai must of saw the smiles on all four of our faces because he called out to them and waved them over.
They all turned around and started running towards us the minute they saw us.


"Mushroomon!" I yelled as I ran towards him while he jumped into my arms.


We were all hugging and giving each other noogies and smacking each others heads together. Well, except Gwen
because Floramon and her were too busy crying in each other's arms.


"Ty, you got big!" Mushroomon exclaimed after he looked me over when I put him down.

"And you shrunk." I replied wiping my tears away.

"Aww, big bad Tyler is crying!" Tai and Sora said in unison.

"Oh shut up!" I shot back. "How would you react if you haven't seen your Digimon in eight years?"

"Probably the same." Tai agreed.

"There all were crying." Gennai said simply. "That's how the rest of them reacted."


Our loud yelling and crying got the attention of the other twenty DigiDestined that were there already
and they all came and greeted us. Well, all except for one.


This guy named Mike Yoshi was standing under a tree with his Digimon, Gazimon, while glaring at me. He
was one of my other rivals who wanted to be in charge.


I chose to ignore it because I was getting pummeled by everyone asking me questions.


"How are you doing guys?" one asked.

"When are we going to start fighting?"

"Why were called here?"

"Whoa guys!" I shouted raising up my arms. "Take it easy! You're suffocating us!"


They all calmed down and backed off. All except for one pretty blonde blue-eyed girl.


"Hey Tyler," she said seductively while running her hand under my chin.

"H-Hi Amanda." I stuttered, my face turning red.


Now I didn't see Gwen's reaction when Amanda started talking to me or flirting with me,
as Serge put it, but smoke was literally coming out of her ears.


"Gwen you okay?" Serge asked placing a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine!" She replied through clenched teeth while watching the conversation that was going
on between Amanda and I.

"You don't look fine." Max stated. "You like your going to kill Amanda or something."

"Is that what it is?" Serge grinned. "Gwen's jealous!"


Now, Gwen's not the kind of person who loses her temper or hits anyone, but for Serge,
she made an exception. She drove her fist into his stomach knocking the wind out of him
making him fall to the ground and brought my attention back to them when I heard him cry
out. Gwen stomped off into the house and went into her room slamming the door.


"Serge are you okay?" I asked while peering over him like Max and Ken were.

"Man! I heard of women's rights, but their lefts!" Serge groaned. "She must of been really angry to
hit me like that!"

"Why did she hit you for?" I asked.

"Because I said she was jealous of Amanda flirting with you." He answered weakly while Matt and Max
helped him up.


Before I could comment, Sora, Mimi, Yolie, and Kari all pushed past me and walked into the house.


"Where are they all going?" Tai asked.

"To talk to Gwen probably." Matt replied.


Only one thing went through my mind. What the heck was wrong with her??! First she doesn't make any eye
contact with me for this whole damn trip and now she's mad at me because I talked to Amanda. I'm never
going to understand women!

*************************************************************************************

"Stupid Tyler!"


Gwen threw a dart towards a picture of Ty that was on a dart board hanging on her door to her room while
lying on her bed. It hit dead on Tyler's face.


"Cheer up, Gwen." Floramon said. "I'm sure he's not interested in her at all."

"Yeah right!" Gwen replied throwing another dart. "H-Hi Amanda."

"He's just shy, you know that." Floramon answered cheerfully.

"I don't know what I know about him anymore." She stated.


A light knock on the door interrupted her lamenting about Tyler and Amanda with Floramon.


"Who is it?" She asked.

"It's us." Came the muffled reply behind the door. "Can we come in?"

"Sure."

"We were wondering if you were okay?" Mimi asked while walking through the door with the others following.

"Depends what your definition of okay is." Gwen replied.


They seated themselves on the other bed opposite of hers. Sora closed the door gently and then spotted the
dart board hanging from it with a dart in the picture of Tyler.


"That mad at him, huh?" Sora joked.

"No, I'm furious with him."

"Gwen, he doesn't even know why your mad at him." Yolie replied.

"She was flirting with him again." She answered.

"Again?" Kari asked. "When did this happen before?"

"In school. That's all that slut does is flirt with him."

"And what is that to you?" Mimi questioned raising an eyebrow. "It's not like you two are together."

"Or is it that you want him to be with you?" Sora added.

"Right on the nose!" Floramon replied.

"Floramon!" Gwen complained.

"Sorry." She apologized sheepishly. "It slipped."

"So are you going to tell him?" Yolie asked.

"No." She replied softly. "He obviously doesn't feel the same way."

"I doubt that." Sora smiled. "When he went to Kyoto with you and Serge, I went to get my tennis racquet
that he hid in his room and I found a picture of you under his bed."

"So?" Gwen answered. "Tyler has pictures of all his friends in his room."

"Gwen, he was hiding it." Sora argued. "He obviously didn't want anyone to know about it."


Gwen looked towards the door and glanced at the picture of Ty with longing eyes.


"But what if he doesn't?" Gwen questioned.

"What do you have to lose?" Kari responded.

"My heart and my pride." She replied.


Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation and surprised the them.


"Come in."


Piximon peeked his head inside the door.


"Ty wants to have a meeting and explain everything to everyone." He informed them. "So hop to it! Yup! Yup!"

"Tell him will be there in five minutes." Gwen answered.


Piximon nodded his head and closed the door gently.


"Let's go before Ty blows a gasket about us being late." Sora suggested.


They all agreed and walked out the door with Mimi and Sora hanging back a little. Mimi leaned over and whispered
something in Sora's ear.


"Do you think she'll tell him?" She whispered.

"No. But I'm going to have a talk with Tyler later on today." Sora whispered back.


Mimi nodded and ran up to the other girls while Sora stayed back thinking what she
was going to do.


"Just hope I can talk him into telling her." She told herself.
***********************************************************************************************************


Everyone was sitting at a large table when the girls walked in. I was sitting at the head of the table with my
eyes following Gwen's every movement. Tai and Davis were sitting next to me.


Mike was growing impatient with all this waiting for an explanation until he finally cracked.


"Why were we called back here Gennai?!" Mike asked impatiently pounding his fist on the table.

"Ask your leader." Gennai replied.

"The day I start calling him my leader is the day I end my life!" Mike stated.

"You want a piece of me meat-head!" I shouted getting out of my seat and slapping my hands on the table.

"Bring it on!" Mike shot back. "I still think I should be in charge instead of you!"

"What are we ten again?!" Serge yelled. "Get over it Mike! Ty's in charge!"

"Well, I don't have to like it or be a part of it!" He spat.

"You want to leave?! There's the door!" I shouted pointing at the door.

"With pleasure." He replied getting out of his chair and walking towards the door. "C'mon Gazimon."

"See you later Mushroomhead!" Gazimon teased.

"Not if I see you first Rabbit Ears!" Mushroomon replied furiously.


I slumped back down into my chair and sighed. He's been on my case ever since I was appointed the leader.
He was never going to change. But for some odd reason, I felt like something was behind all his words.


"That was pleasant." Tai said sarcastically. "Does he always do that?"

"Every time." I answered.

"So what's this meeting about anyway Tyler?" Izzy asked.


I looked towards Gennai asking the question with my eyes. He nodded implying that I could tell them.


"I haven't been totally honest with you guys." I began. "You see, when I was shown the future I saw a person trying to destroy
the Digital World and the Real World with an army of Digimon and people being controlled by him. And it doesn't turn out to good for us."

"So, what your trying to say, is we're literally going to end up fighting a war." T.K. stated.

"Right. I'm going to train Tai to be stronger and teach him how to control his powers." I answered.

"Why out of all of us, I'm the only one who has powers?" Tai questioned.

"It's hereditary." I replied simply. "Your grandfather also had powers like my grandpa and they passed on
to us to save this world."

"My grandfather was a DigiDestined?" Tai asked.

"Yup."

"But why aren't you training Sora too?" Matt asked.

"Sora's powers come out emotionally like I told you." I answered. "I can't train emotions."

"Good, because I don't want to be trained by you." Sora added. "When you were teaching me how to play
soccer, you nearly killed me!"

"I warned you." I replied. "But you said you could handle it."

"Your not going to train me that hard, are you?" Tai asked nervously.

"No." I replied simply.

"Phew!" He let out his breath.

"Harder."

"Ohhhhhh!" He groaned. "Why me?"

"Ask your grandfather." I joked. "Any other questions?"

"Do I have powers too Tyler?" Kari asked.

"Yeah you do, but they come out emotionally like Sora's." I answered. "You've shown that once in awhile."

"He's got that right!" T.K. responded. "When we were fighting Machinedramon she was glowing brighter than
a Christmas tree!"

"Yeah I saw that." I answered.

"What do you mean 'you saw that'?" Tai asked.

"We were all watching you on monitors here while you were traveling the DigiWorld." Max explained.

"You mean you heard everything we said?" Sora asked.

"Pretty much." Serge answered.

"Okay Tyler, quote me on something I said." Tai challenged.

"Uh, you sure you want me to do that?" I asked grinning evilly.

"Sure. What harm will it do?"


I looked around at the rest of my allies and they all smiled and nodded there heads knowing what I was
going to quote him on.


"Alright. Don't say I didn't warn you." I stalled.

"Out with it Ty." Gwen grinned.

"Ahem." I cleared my throat.

"Quit stalling." Tai pleaded.

"Do you want me to do the whole thing?" I questioned.

"I don't care."

"I doubt it." Ken replied.


"I won't let anything happen to you."

"Do you really mean that?" I said in a girlish voice.

"Of course I do." I finished with my hands on one side of my face.


Everyone started laughing all except Tai and Sora who were looking at the ground
trying to conceal their blushing faces.


"Now do you care?" I asked smiling.

"Yes."

"How about you Sor?" I questioned looking across the table.

"Do you ever feel guilty embarrassing me like this?" She asked raising her red face.

"Not in the slightest." I answered smugly. "Now that I think this meeting is over,
Tai's going to come with me and start training, okay?"

"Have fun." Matt joked.

"Shut your pie-hole!" Tai shot back.

"And one more question." I began. "Do all your parents know your staying here for a few days?"

They all nodded there heads.

"Alrighty-then, let's start shall we?" I asked Tai.

"Can't wait!" He replied sarcastically.

"Trust me, you'll thank me later." I whispered into his ear.


Before he could comment, I pushed him through the door and start his training. And I did truly
did mean it when he'll thank me later because this kid was going to get banged around a lot.

*************************************************************************************************


Somewhere in the Dark End of the Digital World at a large hidden fortress, a lonely figure and his
Digimon stood before a teenage boy, at the age of 19, sitting in a chair with his back to his quest.


"So Tyler's returned has he?" The figure asked.

"Yes sir, and he sounds determined to defeat you." The stranger replied.

"Mike Yoshi, do you honestly think he can defeat me?" The mysterious shadow questioned.

"He is strong." Mike stated.

"And so is Mushroomon." Gazimon added.

"Yes I know. But not as strong as I." He replied.

"He's going to train Tai Kamiya along with himself sir. He will become more powerful than you."
Mike informed him.

"Let him train!" The figure shouted. "When I'm finished with him, he's going to wish he was never born!"
