Chapter 13: Tyler's Past


Elsewhere in the headquarters, Tai and Max were bunking together because there wasn't enough rooms
for everyone.

"Check mate, friend," Max stated as he knocked Tai's king off of the board and placing his queen on it.

"I never was good at Chess," Tai sighed.

"Do you wanna play again?" Max asked.

"Are you kidding?!" Tai replied. "You beat me ten times already!"

Max shrugged his shoulders.

"There's nothing else to do anyway," He answered. "Unless you want to play Checkers?"

"Actually, I have a question I wanted to ask you," Tai stated.

"What about?"

"It's about Tyler," Tai replied.

"Tyler?" Max asked skeptically as he took a sip from his glass on his desk.

"Yeah," He began. "When Ty was taking out his sword he looked kinda, I don't know,
distressed."

Max spluttered and choked on his drink.

"You mean he hasn't told you yet?"

"Told me what?" Tai asked confused. "Did something happen when he was younger?"

"Yeah, something did happen. But I'm not sure if Tyler wants you to know this," Max
explained.

"That bad, huh?" Tai inquired.

"Yeah it is," Max began. "I'll tell you anyway, Ty was probably going to tell you eventually."

"I'm all ears," Tai replied.

"We were fighting this kid in the DigiWorld that was part of the DigiDestined," Max explained. "But he was
corrupted by an evil Digimon named MarineDevimon."

"Who's MarineDevimon?" Tai questioned.

"The Ultimate form of Devimon," Max answered. "He always picked kids who have problems in their life. Like the
kid Ty knew, Brian, was jealous of Tyler because he was the leader of the DigiDestined and he wasn't."

"So he cracked?" Tai asked.

"Yeah, basically," Max replied. "MarineDevimon told Brian that if he got Tyler out of the picture than he would
finally get the approval of the other DigiDestined and become the leader, the sad part is that he fell for it.
But that's only half of the story. Tyler was trying to knock some sense into Brian's head, but he wouldn't listen..."

*Flashback*

Tyler stood near a cliff in front of an enraged Brian holding a dagger in his hand and breathing heavily while Tyler
was keeping a firm grip on the handle of his sword on his left side. The other DigiDestined stood on the sidelines watching
their leader deal with this problem.

You could hear the distant roaring of Aeroveedramon and Brian's Digimon partner, Megadramon, battling in the air.

Tyler looked up into the air with saddened eyes. He couldn't believe this was happening. The area that they were
in was surrounded by flames and destroying everything around it.

"Stop this Brian!" Tyler demanded. "It's not worth it!"

"To you maybe, but it's worth it to me." Brian spat.

"What could be worth destroying this world?" Tai questioned furiously.

"Getting rid of you!" Brain shouted. "I'm tired of taking orders from you! What makes you so great to be the boss?!"

Tyler couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"What did I do? I've been trying to be your friend Brian!" Tyler argued. "The Digital World shouldn't suffer because your
jealous of me!"

"Oh, don't worry about that," Brian began. "If I get rid of you this will all end!"

As the words left his lips, Brain charged towards Tyler with his dagger pointed at him. Quickly, Tyler drew his sword out of
its sheath and blocked all the attacks that were aimed at him.

"Who the heck told you this?!" Tyler yelled. "Getting rid of me won't do anything! Everyone will just pick the best person suited
for the job! You have to earn it!"

"You're wrong!" Brain shot back. "You're the only one they think is capable of being in charge! I'll become the leader by force!"

"Please stop!" Tyler begged. "I don't want to hurt you!"

"To bad the feeling isn't mutual!" He shouted as he made a quick strike towards Tyler's mid-section.

On impulse, Tyler brought his sword up and blocked the attack, but brought it to high up and it hit Brian across his right eye,
leaving a scar.

Brian dropped his dagger and brought his hands to his eye while crying out in pain. He staggered back, and lost his footing as he
stood on the ledge of the cliff.

"Brian!!" Tyler shouted as he tried to grab his hand but missed.

Tyler watched hopelessly as Brian fell and disappeared into the water below.

"I killed him..." Tyler cried out unbelievably.

*End Flashback*

"Ever since then, Tyler has felt guilty about it." Max concluded. "And can't stand looking at that sword."

Tai listened intently as Max finished the story.

"But it wasn't his fault." Tai replied. "It was an accident."

"I know." Max agreed. "We've told him that endless times but he won't listen. Just keeps beating himself up
about it."

"Is he going to tell Sora?" Tai implied.

"Let's leave that up to Tyler, shall we?" Max replied. "Let's get some sleep for now, it's late."

"Alright." Tai agreed turning around in his bed. "Hey Max, do you think Brian survived the fall?"

"Doubt it." Max answered pulling the covers over himself in his bed. "Though, we never did find his body.
Why do you ask?"

"No reason." Tai replied.

With that Max turned around and fell asleep. But Tai was starting to get a bad feeling after he heard about
Tyler's past. What if Brian did survive the fall? Could he be behind all this?
