MA: hey peoples. I've decided since I've to write my own digimon theme song. Since this was a new digimon legend, I need a new song. Well to help me is big Sammie on turntables. (Sam appears behind the turntables, wearing FUBU pants, shirt and a wool cap.)
SAM: what up?
MA: and rapping the song is my man, MTK.

MAX: what's up, my nigga?
MA: and also we have the digidestined in the house.

MA: All right. Lets...wait a minute! Max, what in the blue hell is that in your mouth?
MAX: oh. I just had my teeth capped with some platinum and the crest of courage and love put on them with some crushed ice.
SAM: man, you got more crushed ice than a slurppy.

D3: FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
CH. 14 "HISTORY OF MAX"
All eyes were max as he looked at the warlord with his now green eyes, filled with raw hatred. His enemy looked at him with a look that no one, not even his minions had ever seen; fear. There was only one thing that he feared and that was the figure in his nightmare, which now seemed real. He shrugged off the shade of fear with a confident smirk, ever though he was sweating bullets.
" That was a nice little light you put on there, max. But it won't save your friends." He said as he pointed his finger at the destined as it glowed with a dark energy. He looked back to gloated at max only to find him gone. He looked around in worry and turned back to his targets only to find the transformed max in his view. Max, with a hate-filled face, grabbed the evil one's hand. At first he was amused by the fact that he thinks grabbing his hand will make a difference until he tried to get out of his grasp, only to find that max had a vise like grip on him. Then an almost alien sensation came from his hand and into his mind. At first he didn't recognize it, but he remembered it from his past life: this feeling was pain. He had not felt in year and now he's feeling more than he ever felt.
" You just do get it." Said max as he tightens his grip on the warlord, causing him to wince in pain.
" If I asked if you were sorry for everything you've do, would you be?" he said as he brought him down to one knee.
" No, I can see in your eyes. You're not sorry. All you care about is power and killing. Even now, all you can think about are ways to kill me. You're truly pathetic." He said as the warlord was now on both his knees, struggling to get out of the grip. The destined looked on in shock and surprise at the events unfolding.
" I don't get it. A few minutes ago, max could barely stand up. Now he's got the warlord on his knees." Said Joe.
" Yo sam! How come you didn't tell use he could do that?" yelled Davis.
" I didn't know he could that." he said still in wonder.
" Tai what do you think?" sora asked him, who had a small smirk.
" In a way, I kind of knew it. From the moment I met him, he seemed to have something in him. Almost like a force that he tried hard to hide but now he released it." He said.
Max still had the warlord on his knees, almost crying when max suddenly released him. He staggered away to looked at his hand, which was bent and broken.
" You-you broke my hand, you bastard!"
" You're luck I don't break something else."
With a roar, the warlord fired a blast at max. It exploded, causing a dust cloud to appear. As it cleared, max was nowhere to be seen. The warlord looked around only to catch an uppercut by the teen. He flew up until he stopped himself in the air and searched the ground for his enemy, when he looked up to find him floating next to him.
" WHAT!? HOW CAN YOU MOVE THAT FAST?! HOW???"
" I do a lot of push-ups and sit-ups. And I drink a lot of juice."
The warlord tried to punch him but he vanished and reappeared above him to bring his elbow down on his head, causing him to race to the ground and impact with a boom. Max landed on the ground as the warlord struggled to his feet. He then snapped his fingers and the NBs leaped to the ground and surrounded him.
" You know mate, that was a pretty good." Said bountymon.
" But putting contacts in you eyes, dying you hair blond, and sticking glow sticks in it ain't gonna make a difference." Said toadmon.
" You see, we know you can't magna digivolve anymore, and you can't handle us in your regular form." Said blademon.
" So odds are 5-to-1 that we're gonna win this fight." Said casinomon.
" I'm feeling good today so here's what I'm gonna do; I'm giving you one chance to leave and don't look back."
He was replied with laughter.
" Fuck him up, beastmon."
Beastmon grinned as he cracked his knuckles and walked toward max. He stopped with his eyes bugged out of head. What made him stopped caused the destined to shutter, their families to vomit and the rest of the NBs to jaw drop. Max had drove his fist and arm in to the gut and out the back of beastmon. Max then removed his arm, allowing beastmon drop to the ground. Casinomon jumped at him with his trump card but max greeted him with a kick to the side of neck, breaking something. Blademon drew his sword and tried to attack him from behind only to meet his afterimage as he was kicked in the back. Toadmon, finally wising up, started to hop away but was cut off by a high-speed clothesline. Bountymon, nervously, drew his gun and fired. Max easily dodged the shots and smiled. The digimon then, dropped his guns and began to beg.
" Okay mate. I give up. Do you hear me? We all give up!!"
" I told you that you one chance to leave but you laughed. Now you gotta pay for it."
He moved behind him and, with a chop to the neck, dropped the last of the nightmare brigade. Max, then, walked over to keke, who was just regaining consciousness.
" Am I dead?" she asked wearily.
" Far from it beautiful." He answered as he helped her to her feet. That is when she noticed the changes to max.
" What happened to you?"
" Let's just say they pushed me too far. Now you think you can free the others while I handle the warlord?"
" Sure but how-?" she was silenced by max's finger.
" Can you?"
" Yes."
" Then go."
Keke took off the d3s first and broke the chains, allowing them to float down to the ground. The foursome then, ripped off the cage and freed everyone. They took positions on the sidelines while the d3s took back-up position behind max as he face the warlord, who was laughing as he stood.
" What's so funny?"
" You shit head! You can't beat me. True you are strong but you aren't destined to defeat me."
" What?"
" You see fool, I have ruled this area of the digital world for years. I had nothing to fear until I heard of a prophecy speaking of a warrior who will be the hero of both worlds, the chosen one. 'Born at the highest point at the birth place of all shall be born a child, sired from courage and love, who will be a warrior in the human world and a god in the digital world. He alone shall defeat the ultimate evil. He will be the chosen one.' I discovered the meaning that this child will be born on Infinity Mountain on file island and that his parent will be taichi kamiya and sora takanuchi, the original bearers of courage and love."
Everyone looks at the two in question as the blush.
" Yes, so I decided to fix this and remove them from the equation."
" So that's who you tried to kill me and sora."
" Yes, Tai. Even though you are not even dating, I couldn't take the risk of anything happening. And now who do you think you are?"
" Who am I? Who am I? I am justice. I am right. I am the answer to all things that cry out for peace. I am the champion of all things that yearn for life. But you ask who I am, than I will tell you. I am max kamiya, son of high general tai kamiya, son of lady sora kamiya and your end."
The families gasped, many of the women fainted and the men looked shocked. The warlord had a look of absolute horror and shock.
" BUT-BUT-HOW??!"
" I and my friends are from the future, a future that you created. Look at us. And look at the digidestined. We are their children. We are their legacy. And we are their dreams. We're here to change a future where humans are slaves, digimon are an endangered species and you are the same tyrant you are. But now YOU WILL KNOW THE HORROR! I AM A ALLY TO GOOD AND A NIGHTMARE TO YOU!!!!!"
As max said this, he began to power up, as the golden aura exploded in rage and the ground began to crack and rise up. The warlord looked in shock at the power he had. He then looked over at the NBs, who were barely moving, and return his view to max.
" Alright, you may have won here but I won't die here." He said as he began to float away.
" This isn't over. Chosen one or not, I will not be beaten by you. We will meet again." With that he flew away as the NBs teleported away.
" And I'll be waiting."
Nancy takahshi blinked awake to two small voices.
" Wake up grandma!"
" Grandma?" she muttered as she was met by the smiling faces of the twins and Mr. Ishida.
" That's right. I'm tikeru takahshi and my twin sister, hikara, T.K.'s kids."
" And that means you are our grandparents."
From her position, she saw the d3s getting to know their future grandparents; keke, Mimi, and her mom were talking about their favorite shades of pink, sam talk to ken's folks about his namesake, and max was sitting on stands with his future grandparents, from both sides, and the digimon sat very close to him. Sora, then, walked over to max and ran her hand through max's hair, which was still gold. As she removed her hand, it flared with a golden aura and then disappeared.
" Wow! That's some hair." She said.
" It comes with the power." He replied.
" It will take some getting use to." Keke said as she and her family walked over.
" Don't worry, kek. It's only temporary. Watch." He said as he closed his eyes and, with big exhale, the aura disappeared, his hair loss it gold sheen, and his ponytail returned, and when he opened his eyes, they were the shade of red as before.
" Wow, max. You have great control of a power you just got." Said izzy.
" Thanks izzy, but this power is not to me. I've had it since I was 8."
The destined, the d3s, and the digimon looked shocked at max.
" Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that you had this power all along!?" spoke Joe.
" We need that kind of power back then and you hid it!?" added matt.
" I had no choice. I couldn't do it."
" And why is that?"
" I...can't say."
" Well you better say before we beat you ass." Said keke.
" Okay, okay. I didn't do it because I promised my father...before he died."
They all looked sorrowful as the news sunk in.
" I'm sorry, max." she said as she hugged him.
" Its ok, kek. I expected you to angry."
" But how did you get this power? I don't remember have that kind of power." Said Tai.
" It's a long story, a story I've gone over it in my mind a million times."
He looked up to see Tai with a hand on his shoulder.
" We got time."
" Well this story happens years ago, in my time. In the digital world.............................."
A lone island in the middle of ocean is the scene for this story. The island is not big but not small. It is full of trees, and a mountainous range of rocks with river flowing in between. Here, a man is silently meditating with his legs crossed. His hair is large and brown, his face has a scar on his cheek and he wore an orange gee with black boots. Like a jungle cat, boy jumps out of the foliage. He wears a similar gee but smaller, and resembles the man but smaller. The boy attacks with a cross punch only to see the man move from his position and dodge the punch but the boy didn't let that discourage him. He started with a barrage of punches to the man's head but he dodged or blocked the blows, all the while smiling at the boy's determination. One of his punches missed and impacted with a large stone, shattering it into pieces. He continued his assault until one of his punched connected to the man's face, leaving a mark on his face. He cracked a smile.
" Good shot, but remember; when you hit a opponent, DON'T STOP!!!!!" He said as he punched the boy. He tried to fight back but the man was more experienced and far more powerful. With a knee to gut, the boy was sent flying into a river as the man watched on. The boy tried to swim against fast rapids but found it useless. He grabbed a near by rock and found himself being lifted up by the shirt by the man.
" Hey, a little help?"
" THERE WILL BE NO HELP!!" He said as he delivered a couple of quick punches to the face, and threw him back into the river. The man smiled as the boy floated down the river, for he was proud of him. This was brutal beating of child but a train mission as tai kamiya, high general of the united digital army, trained his son, max in the style of digi-kinto. Down the river, max had made it to the shore and was catching his breath as his father made it way to him. He reached out his hand to his son and pulled him up.
" So dad, how did I do?"
" You did ok, son. You're getting better each day."
" You really think so?"
" Yeah. At this rate, you'll be stronger than me in no time."
" Quit playing dad. No one is as strong as you."
" Whatever you say son. Come on. You mom will be worried." He said, as they started walked off.
My father was the most respected solider in the digital world and if you ask them, every solider would give their lives for him. Many said that he wasn't the leader of the UDA; he was the UDA. But I only saw him as my father, and my hero.
While walking, max stopped with a worried looked on his face.
" Dad."
" Yeah, son. I feel it too."
" How many?"
" Use your sense, son."
" I'll try." He said as he closed eyes to use his sense to get a lock on the foes. He saw shadows move in the trees around him and his father.
" There are 8 of them."
" What else can you tell?"
" They are champions. NO! Wait! Ultimates."
" That all?"
" Yep. Sorry pop."
As if on cue, eight shadowmon leaped out of the trees and surround the duo.
" You two are in the wrong place at the wrong time." Said the lead shadowmon.
" Funny. That was what we were gonna say to you. Ready max."
" Yeah dad. I'll take the eight to the right."
" Wait. Max, as in max kamiya?"
" Yep."
" And that means you're.."
" Yep."
" Oh shit."
With great the speed, the father/son team punched and kicked the crap out of the shadowmon who either tried run away or just stood there as the two beat them. The two then just looked at the damage they did.
" That was too easy, pop. I didn't even break a sweat."
" Yeah, well I bet you're hungry."
" Yeah, I'm so hungry, I could a seadramon."
" Ok let's go home." He said as he took into the sky but looked back to see a sore faced max looking up at his father.
" What's wrong son?"
" Dad, you seemed to be forgetting that I CAN'T FLY!"
" Oop! Sorry son."
File Island was not only the main base for the UDA, it was my home. The main base was at the foot of Infinity Mountain but I lived on top. Here was my birthright and I loved living there and all the digimon were my friend; data virus and vaccine.
Tai flew with great speed with a laughing max on his back as they flew to file island. As they approach, air ships were flying to and from the island. As he flew over the training grounds, formally the yokomon village, trainees saluted and the digimon waved, as Tai saluted back and max waved. They next flew over the main UDA headquarters, a massive domed complex with human and digimon guards. They, then, flew upper wards to the top of the mountain to see a medium sized two story house with a wooden board hanging over the door with the words GEN. AND LADY KAMIYA + ONE. The two landed at the door and entered. Almost immediately, max was tackled by agumon and biyomon.
" Max you're back." Said agumon.
" We missed you." Said biyomon.
" Hey I was only gone for a day."
" Hey biyomon, where's sora?"
" She's in the garden."
" Thanks." He said as he left his son in the claws and wings of the rookies.
My mother was a very peaceful woman. She was a leading peacekeeper in the digital world, but in her spare time she was work in her garden. Years of being in the digital world allowed my mother to mix earth and digi-plants to create beautiful hybrids.
Tai walked thru the backdoor a large garden full of exotic plants and flowers but one flower caught his eyes; sora. She wore a tee with brown pants as she was bent over, planting a flower. Her face was covered with dirt and her long red hair was tied back.
" Mmmhh. Shake, don't break."
She looked back to her husband with a smile and got up, dusting herself off.
" Keep thinking like that. That's how we got max."
" I thought you like the idea of another mini-me running around."
Sora then came up to the general and wrapped her arms around his neck.
" Who said it would be a boy?"
" Good point."
" So how was your day?"
" You know training the boy, getting attacked by assassins, kicking ass. The usual."
" Sounds like you had a busy day."
" Well I know something that can help."
" No, don't kiss me, you stink!"
" So do you."
" Good point."
And with, the two embraced in a tender kiss that only two people that have been married as long as they have. They would've gone farther if they didn't get interrupted.
" Ewwwwww!"
They broke the kiss to see max, standing between agumon and biyomon, with a disgusted look on his face.
" That's nasty."
" Well son when you're in love, you'll be just like us." Said Tai.
" Yeah right. You'll never see me ogling after a girl."
" But max, what about that picture of keke you keep-mmmhh!" said agumon before max slapped his hand over his mouth.
" Keke? Keke? Oh, that's matt and Mimi's little." Sora said.
" Oh you dog. Got yourself a little girlfriend, eh son?" Tai added.
" SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
" Mmm-hmm." Said his parents.
" Ok. I think we should be getting ready for the meeting." Sora mentioned.
" Oh! I damn near forgot. Come on son. Let's get ready for your girlfriend."
" SHE'S NOT MY GRILFRIEND!!!"
Sora looked on and shook her head with a smile as the two most important men in her life head off to prepare for the meeting and one thought popped into her head:
" How did I end up with these two knuckleheads?"
If I learned anything from both my parents, it's love. They loved each other like I've never seen. My father taught me how to fight and my mother taught me what to fight for, but they both taught me how to love. Anyway the meeting was the meeting of the major officers of the UDA for briefing. But mostly it was a reunion of the original digidestined since they all had high positions within the army.
Tai, sora and max met at the HQ, dressed in their best; Tai was dressed in a green military dress uniform with dozens of medals, green pants and boots. Sora was dress in crimson top made of silk, red pants, elbow length gloves and a red cape. Max wore a mini version of his father's uniform but with out the medals and the boots in which he wore sneakers.
" What taking him so long?"
" Relax honey. He'll be here."
Just as she said it, an airship landed in front of them, kicking up dust as it did. As the engines powered down, two soldiers hopped out of the pilot seat and approached the side. The two opened the door and a blond man emerged. He wore a similar uniform but light brown and a few less medals. His hair was long and came to his shoulders and his eyes were blue. As he stepped out the soldiers, on either side of him, saluted. Tai walked up to the man, both with no expressions on their faces. Slowly, a smile creped on their faces as the shook hands and laughed.
" What's up, matt?"
" Been doing great man. So how about you, big shot?"
" The same. So, got away from the wife, huh?"
" I heard that tai kamiya!"
Tai looked over matt's shoulder to see a pink haired woman who wore an outfit similar to sora's only all pink.
" Meems, I didn't even see you there. How are you?"
" Alright but I'm still mad at you."
" You're mad?! I'm married to the guy." Said sora as she and Mimi laughed as they hugged. Meanwhile, matt walked up to max.
" Hey squirt! What's up with you?"
" Nothing, just chilling." He said as he and the older destined shook hands. As they did, a crunching noise was heard.
" OWWW!" said matt as he held his hand.
" Oops! Sorry."
" Damn sor. What are you feeding him?"
" Same old stuff."
" Yeah I'm as strong as- duh?" he said as he caught sight of a girl getting out of the ship. She wore a pink dress and her hair was tied back in a bun. She walked up to him, both blushing beet red, and slowly spoke.
" Um...hi...max."
" Hello, ke-kek-ke-keke. You loo-look nice."
" Thank you. You look nice too."
The two looked over to their parents who were looking at them. The women looked at them with an 'aww how cute!' look. The men looked proud and gave him the thumbs up.
" Come on. Let's leave the lovebirds alone. We gotta to wait for the others." Said Tai.
" WE'RE NOT IN LOVE!" Both kids said, looked at each other, and blushed redder than before.
As you probably figured, us kids weren't allowed in the meetings so we played with the digimon. All the high ranked officers were there; general matt ishida, commander of the forces on server and his wife, lady Mimi ishida. (Note; the wives of high ranking soldiers were given the title of lady by the army, as a sigh of respect to the family.) Commander tikeru takahashi, commander of the naval forces and his wife and my aunt, lady hikari takahashi. Director izzy izumi, head of the intelligence firm, I.D. ken and yolei icjijochi, (forgive me if its wrong.) the army's lead technical and weapons developers. Cody (don't know his last name), I.D.'s top covert and infiltration agent. Admiral Davis motomiya, head of the air force. And Joe kido, founder and head of the UDA's medical division.
" DAMN!" Said Tai as he slammed his fist on the round table with other destined seated around it.
" It's as I said Tai; he's building a 200,000 megawatt cannon on sulfa island." Said izzy.
" It's true. I've seen the son of a bitch." Said an older and much taller Cody.
" Ken, yolei, you're the techs here. What can it do?"
" Well judging from what Cody said and what we know, it have the destructive force to wipe out a city the size of New York." Said ken.
" That's if he has satellites in orbit." Followed yolei.
" Then we have no option. We strike."
" Tai how can we? Sulfa Island is fortress. How can we break through the front?" asked Joe.
" I have a plan."
" Oooohhh."
" Davis, I need your best squadrons for this."
" Can do."
" TK, I'll need some dolphmon."
" Gotcha."
" Matt.."
" I already know, man."
" Joe, I'm gonna need some medics."
" Right."
" Alright dismissed."
The attack was on for the next day and my father would lead it. My mother never liked him to fight but she understood. But little do we know that our family would be ripped apart. My mother and me were coming from a peace mission over seas. Dad was already at the battle site. We were heading home but little did we know that we were being followed.
Aboard a high-speed jet, the kamiya family made its way to file island. Sora was reading a book that Mimi let her have. Max was sleeping beside her with biyomon in his lap. She looked over at her son and smiled as she brushed a hair out of his face when suddenly, the plane shook. The captain came out of the cockpit, with panic on his face.
" What's happening?"
" My lady, we are under attack by blitzmon."
Sora looked out the window to see he was right; groups of blitzmon were attacking the ship. Sora looked over to her son who, with biyomon, was already awake.
" Mom what's going on?"
" Just buckle up sweetie. Everything is gonna be ok."
As she said this, a huge crash ripped through the plane and caused it to rip in two. Sora grabbed max and flew out of the plane before it hit the water. She looked around and found the cause of the crash; metal seadramon.
" WELL, WELL. I THREW OUT MY LURE AND LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT."
" What are doing here? This is neutral territory."
" SORRY. I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT READING ROAD SIGHS. GOODBYE, LADY KAMIYA!"
The mega fired his river of power, but garudamon blocked it from sora and max.
" Sora you and max go."
" But what about you?"
" I'll hold him off. You go."
" Alright. Goodbye, biyo." She said solemnly as she flew off with max.
" Goodbye sora. I love you both. Alright, you guppy, let's party." She said as she faced him with tears in her eyes because she knew she would never she her or max again.
Sora flew fast and hard, as she knew that someone very powerful was following them. She spotted an island up ahead and sped up. She landed and sat max behind a boulder.
" Max, now I want you to stay here and don't move."
" But mom.."
" No buts! I need you stay here and no matter what you see, don't come out. You understand?"
" Yes, mom."
With that she turned and walked to the beach, as those who pursued her appeared; piedmon and puppetmon.
" Well, well. If it isn't the heroine of our play."
" Hey where's the kid?"
" You're not going near my son."
" And what are you going to do about it?"
Sora then proceeds to remove her jacket and threw it to the ground and to everyone's surprise, even her son, the jacket impacted into a carter. Sora wore a white tee and she was very muscular.
" Just because I'm a pacifist doesn't mean I don't know how to fight. Who's first?"
" Um.. Piedmon you go first."
" WHAT?! I mean I would want to deprive you of some fun so you go."
Puppetmon began to inch forward, seemingly afraid until he swallowed his fear and charged with his hammer raised. Sora smiled as she punched her attacker in the chin, dropping the child like digimon. Piedmon then attacked with his trump swords, only find that she dodged them and rammed her knee in his face.
I had never seen my mother fight until that day. Dad never even mentioned she could fight like that so it surprised me, and the two dark masters on the ground. She turned to me and smile but what I saw next stunned me. A figure floated behind my mom but somehow she knew. It was the first time I had seen him but I knew who it was. I heard my dad talk about him to my uncles but now I had a face to go with the stories. It was the digital warlord.
" Lady kamiya, the pacifist of the UDA, a fighter. I can see why he married you."
" What do you want?"
" Oh the digital world, the real world, the UDA in ruins, and your husband's head on a patter, but I'll settle for what I can get. Where is your son?"
" You don't need to know you bastard."
" Flatter. Now tell me where he is."
" Over my dead body."
" What ever works for you."
Sora charged at him and launch a barrage of punches and kicks, all of which he dodged with relative ease. Max just looked on as his mother tried to fight the worse villain on two worlds. He wished to join her but he was to stay put and he always followed his mother's word. Soon, sora began to slow down while the warlord was still seemed fresh. Soon sora stopped her assault to take a breath. She was obviously tired and out of breath but she still ready to fight. The warlord wasn't even winded.
" Well looks like it's my turn." He said as he appeared behind her with his left arm around her neck. Sora struggled but was unable to get free of his grasp.
" Kill me and my husband will hunt you down like a dog."
" Oh, I look forward to that. But as I meet him on the field of battle, you will next meet him..."
His right arm ejected his blade and rammed it in her side and went straight thru. He let her body fall to the ground as he wiped the blood off the blade.
"...In the land of the dead."
" NOOOO!" max screamed as he powered up and leaped from his hiding place behind the rock at the warlord.
" What the?" was all he could get out as was silenced by the punch of max. As he staggered back, max sweeped his legs, dropping him. He then grabbed his leg and swung him around many times, before letting go, sending him crashing into a cliff. Max ran at him and landed another punch to the gut. He started a high barrage of punches to the face, with tears in his eyes. Each punch shook the island with great force. Soon, the boy stopped to look over his work but caught a backhand by the downed villain sending him flying 20 ft away. The warlord rose from the crater he was in. he wiped a trickle of blood off his mouth, which seemed to enrage him, seeing as no one had made him bleed and walked over to where he landed and picked up the boy by the neck.
" You are very, VERY lucky I have plans for you and your pussy of a father or I would've killed you for making me bleed."
He then kneed him in the gut, and he let the boy fall to the ground next to his mother, out cold. Piedmon and puppetmon awake to their masters' speech.
" Master, I take it the mission was successful."
" No shit, piedmon."
" Hey boss! You're bleeding."
" I think I noticed. This little bastard did it."
" He must be very strong to hurt you, my lord."
" Yes, as I'm sure his father is twice as strong at least."
" So, you want us to cut his strings?"
" No. I need him to live to tell his father who murdered his beloved sora. Anyway, if I killed both, he would have nothing left to live for, and I don't want to face a depressed fool."
Suddenly metal seadramon flew in.
" MASTER."
" AH. How did you fair, my aquatic friend?"
" LET'S JUST SAY THESE ONE LESS CHICKEN HEAD IN THE WORLD."
" Excellent. Now let's get out of here. My work is done."
" 3...2...1. Detonate!" a massive explosion rocks the island of sulfa. The attack on the enemy base went great as a coordinate effort by naval and air forces. Though they lost a few lives, the mission was a success. Tai, matt, TK, Davis, izzy, Cody and ken watched from a battleship as the cannon and the base was destroyed. The men and digimon shook hands/paws/claws as an aide came up to Tai and whispered something in his ear.
" Alright, Tai. Man I never should've doubted a Tai kamiya plan. You did great, Tai. Tai?" matt said. Tai had a look on his face that he hadn't seen in years. Tai suddenly took off at super speed with Wargreymon in tow.
" What was that about?" asked Davis.
" It's sora." Said matt.
" What?" they all spoke.
" I've know Tai for years and I've seen all the different sides of him, but I hoped never to see that side of him again. It was years ago, when we were first in the digital world. Sora was kidnapped by a digimon named datamon and Tai cried about. I had seen many faces on Tai but I'll never forget that face."
" What's that got to do with anything?" ken asked.
" The reason is that before he took off, Tai had that same look. So that means something's happened to sora."
Tai landed outside his house and burst thru the front door. Joe met him as he was leaving the bedroom with a grim look.
" Joe! How are they?"
" Max is okay, seeing as how he went head with the warlord, I'm surprised he lived thru it. I didn't even need treat him. It like he healed himself."
" That's great. And sora?"
" That's the bad news. Tai I don't know how say this but..."
" Just say it Joe!"
" I don't know what the warlord hit her with but her organs bleeding out of control. Even with surgery, it will be too late. Tai, she...she's dying."
He said as went outside of the house. Tai slowly opened the door as he saw his son sitting in a chair next to the bed where sora lay. She had tubes in her nose as a heart monitor beeped slowly as she slept. Max looked up and his eyes lit up as he saw his father.
" Dad!" he said as he hugged him.
" How you doing, kid?"
" Fine but mom's not doing to good."
Tai walked over with his son to the sleeping women who slowly woke up.
" Hey." She said weakly.
" Hey, red."
" You should have seen max. He beat the shit out of the warlord."
" I know."
" I'm sorry."
" No. I'm should be sorry. I wasn't there for you."
" No. It's ok. If had to choose how to die, I would've chosen this way; protecting my son. (Coughs)"
" I just don't know if I can go on without you. I mean, we've been thru so much and I can't think of living without you."
" You have to. Max, I want you to be good to your father and keep training and get strong."
" Right mom."
" Tai...you know I love you."
" I love you, now and forever."
Tai then took her hand as did max and sat in silence as night fell.
We sat there for hours with mom. I told myself that that she was gonna be ok. But at 6:06pm, my mother died. I took it hard but dad took it worse. We buried her at primary village. She was the first of you to die but not the last; Joe was killed in rescue mission, davis and his wing were destroyed by the mutant digimon, ken, yolei, and izzy were killed in the assault on I.D., cody was ambushed in a spy mission, matt was killed in the battle of server and mimi disappeared after the battle. The UDA retreated back to earth but the digital world fell under the rule of the dark master for the warlord. The real world enjoyed a little peace and during this time, I learn something about my father. We lived in a mansion with my aunt Kari and uncle TK, who were expecting the twins. My father spent hours in a room at the back of the house coming out only to eat and sleep. Well one day I snuck in to find weights, punching bag full of cement and other training stuff. I heard a noise so I hid. Dad came in as I hid and lock it. He then started to scream and he changed into what I am, with all gold hair and green eyes. I fell an awesome power coming from him.
" Ok son, you can come out now."
I was surprised but I couldn't hide so I came out. I expected him to yell but he just looked at me and smiled.
" I knew you would find your way in here."
" Dad, what is this?"
" I can't explain it but when I was grieving over your mother, all the pain, the anger, the frustration just exploded and I turned into this. But it's great! When I transform, my speed, strength, and ability increases 100 fold. That's why I've been in here; training to better myself and prepare to avenge your mom's death."
" But you can't fight him alone."
" I know but I won't. I don't know how it happened but your uncle TK can do this too. And, with right training, you can do it too."
" ME?! But dad I'm now where near as strong as you."
" Son, you stronger than you know. And from what I learned, you can be stronger than me. You just have to get rid of the doubt from your mind. Now if you want to train with me, it's gonna be tough. So you in?"
" I'm in."
He was right, the training was tough, tougher than anything I've ever been thru. All my limits were tested; physical and mental. Every day the training got harder and harder, but I didn't quit. As time went on, I got closer and closer to my goal but I could never reach it. Then, the day came; my father and uncle felt they were ready to fight the demon. It happened in odiba and I had a front row seat.
In Odiba Park, the warlord stood across from Tai and TK with max at the side.
" You know, you don't have to fight with me. You got two waiting for you."
" Hey, my brother fought with you so I ain't flaking out on you. And if it means anything, I'm glad I got you for a brother in law."
" Thank, and if I had to pick anyone for to marry my sister, I'd pick you."
" Thanks, tai. Now let's party!"
" You boys got some serious balls to challenge me. But it's not my job to talk people out of killing themselves."
" Well in the words of a game show announcer, 'come on down!'"
Tai said as he and Tai transformed into their higher forms, much to the surprise of the warlord and the delight of max. TK attacked first with a flurry of punches which the warlord could barely dodged the punches. Soon he had to block the punches but had trouble doing this as any contact hurt. He retaliated with energy blast but TK deflected them and punched him in the face. He then grabbed the warlord's head and repeatedly rammed his knees in his face and ending with an elbow to the neck. The warlord hit an uppercut to the chin of the blond but then caught the boot of Tai who didn't want TK having all the fun. As the warlord got up, the two super-soldiers attack with flying fist, each one connecting with him. Tai then powered up and launched his tsunami wave, hitting him with a huge explosion that could be seen miles in any direction. As the dust cleared, the warlord seemed almost dead as the two landed.
" You give up or are you thirsty for more?"
He slowly got up and cracked his neck and smiled.
" Play time is over."
As they wondered what he meant, the warlord shot at the warriors, clothes lining both. TK jumped up and attacked the afterimage of his foe and caught a thrust punch to the face, sending him to a building. Tai, now back up, sent a ball at him but he batted it away and sent one of his own. As he fell, he realized what he meant. He was only toying with them and now they face his true power. Max also realize this and he jumped in the fight. The warlord saw him and backed handed him to a wall, knocking him out.
I don't know how long I was out but it was raining when I woke. I looked around to see the city in ruins with bodies all over the place. I immediately though of my father and uncle. By this time, I could fly so I took off to find them. I sensed around but couldn't find them. Then I saw the outline of my uncle and flew down. I touched him but he was already dead. Then I heard a cough and some movement and looked back to see my dad pretty hurt so I went to him.
" Dad, you ok?"
" I'm sorry, son. We underestimated him. He was too damn strong."
" Come on, dad. We can get you back and..."
" No son. It's too late for me. I'm dying. Listen son. You must never tell anyone, not Kari, not the other kids, not even genni about the power. If the warlord found out that you can do this he'll kill you before do it. Promise me."
" But dad..."
" PROMISE ME!"
" Ok, I promise."
" Good son. Just remember that I have and always will love you. Remember: you're a kamiya and..."
" And a kamiya never quits."
" That's right. Goo-good bye my son." He let one last gasp and my father, the greatest soldier in the UDA, the leader of the digidestined, died before my very eyes. I couldn't take it any more. I lost so many people to him any my rage and sorrow exploded. I suddenly felt different, more powerful. I looked in puddle of water and saw my reflection and seen that I had transformed. I immediately powered down to keep my promise to my dad. Later Kari fell to a crippling disease and passed away. Now I had to take care of the others. I had to watch the real world fall to the warlord but I wasn't ready to face him, not yet anyway. I trained sam, keke, and the twins to fight but now I feel I'm ready. But I know my parents are proud of me, of the man I have become but that's thanks to them.
"...And that's my story."
Max looked around and saw the reaction to his story. The boys were trying not to cry, the women were crying and the digimon were straight out bailing.
" Max I'm sorry we yell at you." Keke said as she hugged him.
" No. You had a right to be cross."
" No I understand." Said Cody's grandfather. " You were fulfilling your promise to your father and that is indeed an honorable act."
" Thanks."
" Now I think I speak for everyone here when I say, LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" Said tike to the surprise of the parents that a little boy had such a dirty mouth.
" Allow me." Max announced as he transformed and, with one hand, blasted a path thru the complex. The large group walked thru the path to find the four standing outside and to everyone's amazement, almost every digimon had gathered outside the complex.
" What's going on?" asked ken.
" They are here to see you max."
" Why?"
" When you transformed, every digimon alive, here and in the real world, felt your power and they want to be near you because for the first time in a long time, the digital world feels truly alive."
" It does to me too."
NEXT TIME: max meets azulogmon who has some news of his powers and something else too. And the warlord shows his true power,

D3: FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
CH. 14 "HISTORY OF MAX"
All eyes were max as he looked at the warlord with his now green eyes, filled with raw hatred. His enemy looked at him with a look that no one, not even his minions had ever seen; fear. There was only one thing that he feared and that was the figure in his nightmare, which now seemed real. He shrugged off the shade of fear with a confident smirk, ever though he was sweating bullets.
" That was a nice little light you put on there, max. But it won't save your friends." He said as he pointed his finger at the destined as it glowed with a dark energy. He looked back to gloated at max only to find him gone. He looked around in worry and turned back to his targets only to find the transformed max in his view. Max, with a hate-filled face, grabbed the evil one's hand. At first he was amused by the fact that he thinks grabbing his hand will make a difference until he tried to get out of his grasp, only to find that max had a vise like grip on him. Then an almost alien sensation came from his hand and into his mind. At first he didn't recognize it, but he remembered it from his past life: this feeling was pain. He had not felt in year and now he's feeling more than he ever felt.
" You just do get it." Said max as he tightens his grip on the warlord, causing him to wince in pain.
" If I asked if you were sorry for everything you've do, would you be?" he said as he brought him down to one knee.
" No, I can see in your eyes. You're not sorry. All you care about is power and killing. Even now, all you can think about are ways to kill me. You're truly pathetic." He said as the warlord was now on both his knees, struggling to get out of the grip. The destined looked on in shock and surprise at the events unfolding.
" I don't get it. A few minutes ago, max could barely stand up. Now he's got the warlord on his knees." Said Joe.
" Yo sam! How come you didn't tell use he could do that?" yelled Davis.
" I didn't know he could that." he said still in wonder.
" Tai what do you think?" sora asked him, who had a small smirk.
" In a way, I kind of knew it. From the moment I met him, he seemed to have something in him. Almost like a force that he tried hard to hide but now he released it." He said.
Max still had the warlord on his knees, almost crying when max suddenly released him. He staggered away to looked at his hand, which was bent and broken.
" You-you broke my hand, you bastard!"
" You're luck I don't break something else."
With a roar, the warlord fired a blast at max. It exploded, causing a dust cloud to appear. As it cleared, max was nowhere to be seen. The warlord looked around only to catch an uppercut by the teen. He flew up until he stopped himself in the air and searched the ground for his enemy, when he looked up to find him floating next to him.
" WHAT!? HOW CAN YOU MOVE THAT FAST?! HOW???"
" I do a lot of push-ups and sit-ups. And I drink a lot of juice."
The warlord tried to punch him but he vanished and reappeared above him to bring his elbow down on his head, causing him to race to the ground and impact with a boom. Max landed on the ground as the warlord struggled to his feet. He then snapped his fingers and the NBs leaped to the ground and surrounded him.
" You know mate, that was a pretty good." Said bountymon.
" But putting contacts in you eyes, dying you hair blond, and sticking glow sticks in it ain't gonna make a difference." Said toadmon.
" You see, we know you can't magna digivolve anymore, and you can't handle us in your regular form." Said blademon.
" So odds are 5-to-1 that we're gonna win this fight." Said casinomon.
" I'm feeling good today so here's what I'm gonna do; I'm giving you one chance to leave and don't look back."
He was replied with laughter.
" Fuck him up, beastmon."
Beastmon grinned as he cracked his knuckles and walked toward max. He stopped with his eyes bugged out of head. What made him stopped caused the destined to shutter, their families to vomit and the rest of the NBs to jaw drop. Max had drove his fist and arm in to the gut and out the back of beastmon. Max then removed his arm, allowing beastmon drop to the ground. Casinomon jumped at him with his trump card but max greeted him with a kick to the side of neck, breaking something. Blademon drew his sword and tried to attack him from behind only to meet his afterimage as he was kicked in the back. Toadmon, finally wising up, started to hop away but was cut off by a high-speed clothesline. Bountymon, nervously, drew his gun and fired. Max easily dodged the shots and smiled. The digimon then, dropped his guns and began to beg.
" Okay mate. I give up. Do you hear me? We all give up!!"
" I told you that you one chance to leave but you laughed. Now you gotta pay for it."
He moved behind him and, with a chop to the neck, dropped the last of the nightmare brigade. Max, then, walked over to keke, who was just regaining consciousness.
" Am I dead?" she asked wearily.
" Far from it beautiful." He answered as he helped her to her feet. That is when she noticed the changes to max.
" What happened to you?"
" Let's just say they pushed me too far. Now you think you can free the others while I handle the warlord?"
" Sure but how-?" she was silenced by max's finger.
" Can you?"
" Yes."
" Then go."
Keke took off the d3s first and broke the chains, allowing them to float down to the ground. The foursome then, ripped off the cage and freed everyone. They took positions on the sidelines while the d3s took back-up position behind max as he face the warlord, who was laughing as he stood.
" What's so funny?"
" You shit head! You can't beat me. True you are strong but you aren't destined to defeat me."
" What?"
" You see fool, I have ruled this area of the digital world for years. I had nothing to fear until I heard of a prophecy speaking of a warrior who will be the hero of both worlds, the chosen one. 'Born at the highest point at the birth place of all shall be born a child, sired from courage and love, who will be a warrior in the human world and a god in the digital world. He alone shall defeat the ultimate evil. He will be the chosen one.' I discovered the meaning that this child will be born on Infinity Mountain on file island and that his parent will be taichi kamiya and sora takanuchi, the original bearers of courage and love."
Everyone looks at the two in question as the blush.
" Yes, so I decided to fix this and remove them from the equation."
" So that's who you tried to kill me and sora."
" Yes, Tai. Even though you are not even dating, I couldn't take the risk of anything happening. And now who do you think you are?"
" Who am I? Who am I? I am justice. I am right. I am the answer to all things that cry out for peace. I am the champion of all things that yearn for life. But you ask who I am, than I will tell you. I am max kamiya, son of high general tai kamiya, son of lady sora kamiya and your end."
The families gasped, many of the women fainted and the men looked shocked. The warlord had a look of absolute horror and shock.
" BUT-BUT-HOW??!"
" I and my friends are from the future, a future that you created. Look at us. And look at the digidestined. We are their children. We are their legacy. And we are their dreams. We're here to change a future where humans are slaves, digimon are an endangered species and you are the same tyrant you are. But now YOU WILL KNOW THE HORROR! I AM A ALLY TO GOOD AND A NIGHTMARE TO YOU!!!!!"
As max said this, he began to power up, as the golden aura exploded in rage and the ground began to crack and rise up. The warlord looked in shock at the power he had. He then looked over at the NBs, who were barely moving, and return his view to max.
" Alright, you may have won here but I won't die here." He said as he began to float away.
" This isn't over. Chosen one or not, I will not be beaten by you. We will meet again." With that he flew away as the NBs teleported away.
" And I'll be waiting."
Nancy takahshi blinked awake to two small voices.
" Wake up grandma!"
" Grandma?" she muttered as she was met by the smiling faces of the twins and Mr. Ishida.
" That's right. I'm tikeru takahshi and my twin sister, hikara, T.K.'s kids."
" And that means you are our grandparents."
From her position, she saw the d3s getting to know their future grandparents; keke, Mimi, and her mom were talking about their favorite shades of pink, sam talk to ken's folks about his namesake, and max was sitting on stands with his future grandparents, from both sides, and the digimon sat very close to him. Sora, then, walked over to max and ran her hand through max's hair, which was still gold. As she removed her hand, it flared with a golden aura and then disappeared.
" Wow! That's some hair." She said.
" It comes with the power." He replied.
" It will take some getting use to." Keke said as she and her family walked over.
" Don't worry, kek. It's only temporary. Watch." He said as he closed his eyes and, with big exhale, the aura disappeared, his hair loss it gold sheen, and his ponytail returned, and when he opened his eyes, they were the shade of red as before.
" Wow, max. You have great control of a power you just got." Said izzy.
" Thanks izzy, but this power is not to me. I've had it since I was 8."
The destined, the d3s, and the digimon looked shocked at max.
" Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that you had this power all along!?" spoke Joe.
" We need that kind of power back then and you hid it!?" added matt.
" I had no choice. I couldn't do it."
" And why is that?"
" I...can't say."
" Well you better say before we beat you ass." Said keke.
" Okay, okay. I didn't do it because I promised my father...before he died."
They all looked sorrowful as the news sunk in.
" I'm sorry, max." she said as she hugged him.
" Its ok, kek. I expected you to angry."
" But how did you get this power? I don't remember have that kind of power." Said Tai.
" It's a long story, a story I've gone over it in my mind a million times."
He looked up to see Tai with a hand on his shoulder.
" We got time."
" Well this story happens years ago, in my time. In the digital world.............................."
A lone island in the middle of ocean is the scene for this story. The island is not big but not small. It is full of trees, and a mountainous range of rocks with river flowing in between. Here, a man is silently meditating with his legs crossed. His hair is large and brown, his face has a scar on his cheek and he wore an orange gee with black boots. Like a jungle cat, boy jumps out of the foliage. He wears a similar gee but smaller, and resembles the man but smaller. The boy attacks with a cross punch only to see the man move from his position and dodge the punch but the boy didn't let that discourage him. He started with a barrage of punches to the man's head but he dodged or blocked the blows, all the while smiling at the boy's determination. One of his punches missed and impacted with a large stone, shattering it into pieces. He continued his assault until one of his punched connected to the man's face, leaving a mark on his face. He cracked a smile.
" Good shot, but remember; when you hit a opponent, DON'T STOP!!!!!" He said as he punched the boy. He tried to fight back but the man was more experienced and far more powerful. With a knee to gut, the boy was sent flying into a river as the man watched on. The boy tried to swim against fast rapids but found it useless. He grabbed a near by rock and found himself being lifted up by the shirt by the man.
" Hey, a little help?"
" THERE WILL BE NO HELP!!" He said as he delivered a couple of quick punches to the face, and threw him back into the river. The man smiled as the boy floated down the river, for he was proud of him. This was brutal beating of child but a train mission as tai kamiya, high general of the united digital army, trained his son, max in the style of digi-kinto. Down the river, max had made it to the shore and was catching his breath as his father made it way to him. He reached out his hand to his son and pulled him up.
" So dad, how did I do?"
" You did ok, son. You're getting better each day."
" You really think so?"
" Yeah. At this rate, you'll be stronger than me in no time."
" Quit playing dad. No one is as strong as you."
" Whatever you say son. Come on. You mom will be worried." He said, as they started walked off.
My father was the most respected solider in the digital world and if you ask them, every solider would give their lives for him. Many said that he wasn't the leader of the UDA; he was the UDA. But I only saw him as my father, and my hero.
While walking, max stopped with a worried looked on his face.
" Dad."
" Yeah, son. I feel it too."
" How many?"
" Use your sense, son."
" I'll try." He said as he closed eyes to use his sense to get a lock on the foes. He saw shadows move in the trees around him and his father.
" There are 8 of them."
" What else can you tell?"
" They are champions. NO! Wait! Ultimates."
" That all?"
" Yep. Sorry pop."
As if on cue, eight shadowmon leaped out of the trees and surround the duo.
" You two are in the wrong place at the wrong time." Said the lead shadowmon.
" Funny. That was what we were gonna say to you. Ready max."
" Yeah dad. I'll take the eight to the right."
" Wait. Max, as in max kamiya?"
" Yep."
" And that means you're.."
" Yep."
" Oh shit."
With great the speed, the father/son team punched and kicked the crap out of the shadowmon who either tried run away or just stood there as the two beat them. The two then just looked at the damage they did.
" That was too easy, pop. I didn't even break a sweat."
" Yeah, well I bet you're hungry."
" Yeah, I'm so hungry, I could a seadramon."
" Ok let's go home." He said as he took into the sky but looked back to see a sore faced max looking up at his father.
" What's wrong son?"
" Dad, you seemed to be forgetting that I CAN'T FLY!"
" Oop! Sorry son."
File Island was not only the main base for the UDA, it was my home. The main base was at the foot of Infinity Mountain but I lived on top. Here was my birthright and I loved living there and all the digimon were my friend; data virus and vaccine.
Tai flew with great speed with a laughing max on his back as they flew to file island. As they approach, air ships were flying to and from the island. As he flew over the training grounds, formally the yokomon village, trainees saluted and the digimon waved, as Tai saluted back and max waved. They next flew over the main UDA headquarters, a massive domed complex with human and digimon guards. They, then, flew upper wards to the top of the mountain to see a medium sized two story house with a wooden board hanging over the door with the words GEN. AND LADY KAMIYA + ONE. The two landed at the door and entered. Almost immediately, max was tackled by agumon and biyomon.
" Max you're back." Said agumon.
" We missed you." Said biyomon.
" Hey I was only gone for a day."
" Hey biyomon, where's sora?"
" She's in the garden."
" Thanks." He said as he left his son in the claws and wings of the rookies.
My mother was a very peaceful woman. She was a leading peacekeeper in the digital world, but in her spare time she was work in her garden. Years of being in the digital world allowed my mother to mix earth and digi-plants to create beautiful hybrids.
Tai walked thru the backdoor a large garden full of exotic plants and flowers but one flower caught his eyes; sora. She wore a tee with brown pants as she was bent over, planting a flower. Her face was covered with dirt and her long red hair was tied back.
" Mmmhh. Shake, don't break."
She looked back to her husband with a smile and got up, dusting herself off.
" Keep thinking like that. That's how we got max."
" I thought you like the idea of another mini-me running around."
Sora then came up to the general and wrapped her arms around his neck.
" Who said it would be a boy?"
" Good point."
" So how was your day?"
" You know training the boy, getting attacked by assassins, kicking ass. The usual."
" Sounds like you had a busy day."
" Well I know something that can help."
" No, don't kiss me, you stink!"
" So do you."
" Good point."
And with, the two embraced in a tender kiss that only two people that have been married as long as they have. They would've gone farther if they didn't get interrupted.
" Ewwwwww!"
They broke the kiss to see max, standing between agumon and biyomon, with a disgusted look on his face.
" That's nasty."
" Well son when you're in love, you'll be just like us." Said Tai.
" Yeah right. You'll never see me ogling after a girl."
" But max, what about that picture of keke you keep-mmmhh!" said agumon before max slapped his hand over his mouth.
" Keke? Keke? Oh, that's matt and Mimi's little." Sora said.
" Oh you dog. Got yourself a little girlfriend, eh son?" Tai added.
" SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
" Mmm-hmm." Said his parents.
" Ok. I think we should be getting ready for the meeting." Sora mentioned.
" Oh! I damn near forgot. Come on son. Let's get ready for your girlfriend."
" SHE'S NOT MY GRILFRIEND!!!"
Sora looked on and shook her head with a smile as the two most important men in her life head off to prepare for the meeting and one thought popped into her head:
" How did I end up with these two knuckleheads?"
If I learned anything from both my parents, it's love. They loved each other like I've never seen. My father taught me how to fight and my mother taught me what to fight for, but they both taught me how to love. Anyway the meeting was the meeting of the major officers of the UDA for briefing. But mostly it was a reunion of the original digidestined since they all had high positions within the army.
Tai, sora and max met at the HQ, dressed in their best; Tai was dressed in a green military dress uniform with dozens of medals, green pants and boots. Sora was dress in crimson top made of silk, red pants, elbow length gloves and a red cape. Max wore a mini version of his father's uniform but with out the medals and the boots in which he wore sneakers.
" What taking him so long?"
" Relax honey. He'll be here."
Just as she said it, an airship landed in front of them, kicking up dust as it did. As the engines powered down, two soldiers hopped out of the pilot seat and approached the side. The two opened the door and a blond man emerged. He wore a similar uniform but light brown and a few less medals. His hair was long and came to his shoulders and his eyes were blue. As he stepped out the soldiers, on either side of him, saluted. Tai walked up to the man, both with no expressions on their faces. Slowly, a smile creped on their faces as the shook hands and laughed.
" What's up, matt?"
" Been doing great man. So how about you, big shot?"
" The same. So, got away from the wife, huh?"
" I heard that tai kamiya!"
Tai looked over matt's shoulder to see a pink haired woman who wore an outfit similar to sora's only all pink.
" Meems, I didn't even see you there. How are you?"
" Alright but I'm still mad at you."
" You're mad?! I'm married to the guy." Said sora as she and Mimi laughed as they hugged. Meanwhile, matt walked up to max.
" Hey squirt! What's up with you?"
" Nothing, just chilling." He said as he and the older destined shook hands. As they did, a crunching noise was heard.
" OWWW!" said matt as he held his hand.
" Oops! Sorry."
" Damn sor. What are you feeding him?"
" Same old stuff."
" Yeah I'm as strong as- duh?" he said as he caught sight of a girl getting out of the ship. She wore a pink dress and her hair was tied back in a bun. She walked up to him, both blushing beet red, and slowly spoke.
" Um...hi...max."
" Hello, ke-kek-ke-keke. You loo-look nice."
" Thank you. You look nice too."
The two looked over to their parents who were looking at them. The women looked at them with an 'aww how cute!' look. The men looked proud and gave him the thumbs up.
" Come on. Let's leave the lovebirds alone. We gotta to wait for the others." Said Tai.
" WE'RE NOT IN LOVE!" Both kids said, looked at each other, and blushed redder than before.
As you probably figured, us kids weren't allowed in the meetings so we played with the digimon. All the high ranked officers were there; general matt ishida, commander of the forces on server and his wife, lady Mimi ishida. (Note; the wives of high ranking soldiers were given the title of lady by the army, as a sigh of respect to the family.) Commander tikeru takahashi, commander of the naval forces and his wife and my aunt, lady hikari takahashi. Director izzy izumi, head of the intelligence firm, I.D. ken and yolei icjijochi, (forgive me if its wrong.) the army's lead technical and weapons developers. Cody (don't know his last name), I.D.'s top covert and infiltration agent. Admiral Davis motomiya, head of the air force. And Joe kido, founder and head of the UDA's medical division.
" DAMN!" Said Tai as he slammed his fist on the round table with other destined seated around it.
" It's as I said Tai; he's building a 200,000 megawatt cannon on sulfa island." Said izzy.
" It's true. I've seen the son of a bitch." Said an older and much taller Cody.
" Ken, yolei, you're the techs here. What can it do?"
" Well judging from what Cody said and what we know, it have the destructive force to wipe out a city the size of New York." Said ken.
" That's if he has satellites in orbit." Followed yolei.
" Then we have no option. We strike."
" Tai how can we? Sulfa Island is fortress. How can we break through the front?" asked Joe.
" I have a plan."
" Oooohhh."
" Davis, I need your best squadrons for this."
" Can do."
" TK, I'll need some dolphmon."
" Gotcha."
" Matt.."
" I already know, man."
" Joe, I'm gonna need some medics."
" Right."
" Alright dismissed."
The attack was on for the next day and my father would lead it. My mother never liked him to fight but she understood. But little do we know that our family would be ripped apart. My mother and me were coming from a peace mission over seas. Dad was already at the battle site. We were heading home but little did we know that we were being followed.
Aboard a high-speed jet, the kamiya family made its way to file island. Sora was reading a book that Mimi let her have. Max was sleeping beside her with biyomon in his lap. She looked over at her son and smiled as she brushed a hair out of his face when suddenly, the plane shook. The captain came out of the cockpit, with panic on his face.
" What's happening?"
" My lady, we are under attack by blitzmon."
Sora looked out the window to see he was right; groups of blitzmon were attacking the ship. Sora looked over to her son who, with biyomon, was already awake.
" Mom what's going on?"
" Just buckle up sweetie. Everything is gonna be ok."
As she said this, a huge crash ripped through the plane and caused it to rip in two. Sora grabbed max and flew out of the plane before it hit the water. She looked around and found the cause of the crash; metal seadramon.
" WELL, WELL. I THREW OUT MY LURE AND LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT."
" What are doing here? This is neutral territory."
" SORRY. I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT READING ROAD SIGHS. GOODBYE, LADY KAMIYA!"
The mega fired his river of power, but garudamon blocked it from sora and max.
" Sora you and max go."
" But what about you?"
" I'll hold him off. You go."
" Alright. Goodbye, biyo." She said solemnly as she flew off with max.
" Goodbye sora. I love you both. Alright, you guppy, let's party." She said as she faced him with tears in her eyes because she knew she would never she her or max again.
Sora flew fast and hard, as she knew that someone very powerful was following them. She spotted an island up ahead and sped up. She landed and sat max behind a boulder.
" Max, now I want you to stay here and don't move."
" But mom.."
" No buts! I need you stay here and no matter what you see, don't come out. You understand?"
" Yes, mom."
With that she turned and walked to the beach, as those who pursued her appeared; piedmon and puppetmon.
" Well, well. If it isn't the heroine of our play."
" Hey where's the kid?"
" You're not going near my son."
" And what are you going to do about it?"
Sora then proceeds to remove her jacket and threw it to the ground and to everyone's surprise, even her son, the jacket impacted into a carter. Sora wore a white tee and she was very muscular.
" Just because I'm a pacifist doesn't mean I don't know how to fight. Who's first?"
" Um.. Piedmon you go first."
" WHAT?! I mean I would want to deprive you of some fun so you go."
Puppetmon began to inch forward, seemingly afraid until he swallowed his fear and charged with his hammer raised. Sora smiled as she punched her attacker in the chin, dropping the child like digimon. Piedmon then attacked with his trump swords, only find that she dodged them and rammed her knee in his face.
I had never seen my mother fight until that day. Dad never even mentioned she could fight like that so it surprised me, and the two dark masters on the ground. She turned to me and smile but what I saw next stunned me. A figure floated behind my mom but somehow she knew. It was the first time I had seen him but I knew who it was. I heard my dad talk about him to my uncles but now I had a face to go with the stories. It was the digital warlord.
" Lady kamiya, the pacifist of the UDA, a fighter. I can see why he married you."
" What do you want?"
" Oh the digital world, the real world, the UDA in ruins, and your husband's head on a patter, but I'll settle for what I can get. Where is your son?"
" You don't need to know you bastard."
" Flatter. Now tell me where he is."
" Over my dead body."
" What ever works for you."
Sora charged at him and launch a barrage of punches and kicks, all of which he dodged with relative ease. Max just looked on as his mother tried to fight the worse villain on two worlds. He wished to join her but he was to stay put and he always followed his mother's word. Soon, sora began to slow down while the warlord was still seemed fresh. Soon sora stopped her assault to take a breath. She was obviously tired and out of breath but she still ready to fight. The warlord wasn't even winded.
" Well looks like it's my turn." He said as he appeared behind her with his left arm around her neck. Sora struggled but was unable to get free of his grasp.
" Kill me and my husband will hunt you down like a dog."
" Oh, I look forward to that. But as I meet him on the field of battle, you will next meet him..."
His right arm ejected his blade and rammed it in her side and went straight thru. He let her body fall to the ground as he wiped the blood off the blade.
"...In the land of the dead."
" NOOOO!" max screamed as he powered up and leaped from his hiding place behind the rock at the warlord.
" What the?" was all he could get out as was silenced by the punch of max. As he staggered back, max sweeped his legs, dropping him. He then grabbed his leg and swung him around many times, before letting go, sending him crashing into a cliff. Max ran at him and landed another punch to the gut. He started a high barrage of punches to the face, with tears in his eyes. Each punch shook the island with great force. Soon, the boy stopped to look over his work but caught a backhand by the downed villain sending him flying 20 ft away. The warlord rose from the crater he was in. he wiped a trickle of blood off his mouth, which seemed to enrage him, seeing as no one had made him bleed and walked over to where he landed and picked up the boy by the neck.
" You are very, VERY lucky I have plans for you and your pussy of a father or I would've killed you for making me bleed."
He then kneed him in the gut, and he let the boy fall to the ground next to his mother, out cold. Piedmon and puppetmon awake to their masters' speech.
" Master, I take it the mission was successful."
" No shit, piedmon."
" Hey boss! You're bleeding."
" I think I noticed. This little bastard did it."
" He must be very strong to hurt you, my lord."
" Yes, as I'm sure his father is twice as strong at least."
" So, you want us to cut his strings?"
" No. I need him to live to tell his father who murdered his beloved sora. Anyway, if I killed both, he would have nothing left to live for, and I don't want to face a depressed fool."
Suddenly metal seadramon flew in.
" MASTER."
" AH. How did you fair, my aquatic friend?"
" LET'S JUST SAY THESE ONE LESS CHICKEN HEAD IN THE WORLD."
" Excellent. Now let's get out of here. My work is done."
" 3...2...1. Detonate!" a massive explosion rocks the island of sulfa. The attack on the enemy base went great as a coordinate effort by naval and air forces. Though they lost a few lives, the mission was a success. Tai, matt, TK, Davis, izzy, Cody and ken watched from a battleship as the cannon and the base was destroyed. The men and digimon shook hands/paws/claws as an aide came up to Tai and whispered something in his ear.
" Alright, Tai. Man I never should've doubted a Tai kamiya plan. You did great, Tai. Tai?" matt said. Tai had a look on his face that he hadn't seen in years. Tai suddenly took off at super speed with Wargreymon in tow.
" What was that about?" asked Davis.
" It's sora." Said matt.
" What?" they all spoke.
" I've know Tai for years and I've seen all the different sides of him, but I hoped never to see that side of him again. It was years ago, when we were first in the digital world. Sora was kidnapped by a digimon named datamon and Tai cried about. I had seen many faces on Tai but I'll never forget that face."
" What's that got to do with anything?" ken asked.
" The reason is that before he took off, Tai had that same look. So that means something's happened to sora."
Tai landed outside his house and burst thru the front door. Joe met him as he was leaving the bedroom with a grim look.
" Joe! How are they?"
" Max is okay, seeing as how he went head with the warlord, I'm surprised he lived thru it. I didn't even need treat him. It like he healed himself."
" That's great. And sora?"
" That's the bad news. Tai I don't know how say this but..."
" Just say it Joe!"
" I don't know what the warlord hit her with but her organs bleeding out of control. Even with surgery, it will be too late. Tai, she...she's dying."
He said as went outside of the house. Tai slowly opened the door as he saw his son sitting in a chair next to the bed where sora lay. She had tubes in her nose as a heart monitor beeped slowly as she slept. Max looked up and his eyes lit up as he saw his father.
" Dad!" he said as he hugged him.
" How you doing, kid?"
" Fine but mom's not doing to good."
Tai walked over with his son to the sleeping women who slowly woke up.
" Hey." She said weakly.
" Hey, red."
" You should have seen max. He beat the shit out of the warlord."
" I know."
" I'm sorry."
" No. I'm should be sorry. I wasn't there for you."
" No. It's ok. If had to choose how to die, I would've chosen this way; protecting my son. (Coughs)"
" I just don't know if I can go on without you. I mean, we've been thru so much and I can't think of living without you."
" You have to. Max, I want you to be good to your father and keep training and get strong."
" Right mom."
" Tai...you know I love you."
" I love you, now and forever."
Tai then took her hand as did max and sat in silence as night fell.
We sat there for hours with mom. I told myself that that she was gonna be ok. But at 6:06pm, my mother died. I took it hard but dad took it worse. We buried her at primary village. She was the first of you to die but not the last; Joe was killed in rescue mission, davis and his wing were destroyed by the mutant digimon, ken, yolei, and izzy were killed in the assault on I.D., cody was ambushed in a spy mission, matt was killed in the battle of server and mimi disappeared after the battle. The UDA retreated back to earth but the digital world fell under the rule of the dark master for the warlord. The real world enjoyed a little peace and during this time, I learn something about my father. We lived in a mansion with my aunt Kari and uncle TK, who were expecting the twins. My father spent hours in a room at the back of the house coming out only to eat and sleep. Well one day I snuck in to find weights, punching bag full of cement and other training stuff. I heard a noise so I hid. Dad came in as I hid and lock it. He then started to scream and he changed into what I am, with all gold hair and green eyes. I fell an awesome power coming from him.
" Ok son, you can come out now."
I was surprised but I couldn't hide so I came out. I expected him to yell but he just looked at me and smiled.
" I knew you would find your way in here."
" Dad, what is this?"
" I can't explain it but when I was grieving over your mother, all the pain, the anger, the frustration just exploded and I turned into this. But it's great! When I transform, my speed, strength, and ability increases 100 fold. That's why I've been in here; training to better myself and prepare to avenge your mom's death."
" But you can't fight him alone."
" I know but I won't. I don't know how it happened but your uncle TK can do this too. And, with right training, you can do it too."
" ME?! But dad I'm now where near as strong as you."
" Son, you stronger than you know. And from what I learned, you can be stronger than me. You just have to get rid of the doubt from your mind. Now if you want to train with me, it's gonna be tough. So you in?"
" I'm in."
He was right, the training was tough, tougher than anything I've ever been thru. All my limits were tested; physical and mental. Every day the training got harder and harder, but I didn't quit. As time went on, I got closer and closer to my goal but I could never reach it. Then, the day came; my father and uncle felt they were ready to fight the demon. It happened in odiba and I had a front row seat.
In Odiba Park, the warlord stood across from Tai and TK with max at the side.
" You know, you don't have to fight with me. You got two waiting for you."
" Hey, my brother fought with you so I ain't flaking out on you. And if it means anything, I'm glad I got you for a brother in law."
" Thank, and if I had to pick anyone for to marry my sister, I'd pick you."
" Thanks, tai. Now let's party!"
" You boys got some serious balls to challenge me. But it's not my job to talk people out of killing themselves."
" Well in the words of a game show announcer, 'come on down!'"
Tai said as he and Tai transformed into their higher forms, much to the surprise of the warlord and the delight of max. TK attacked first with a flurry of punches which the warlord could barely dodged the punches. Soon he had to block the punches but had trouble doing this as any contact hurt. He retaliated with energy blast but TK deflected them and punched him in the face. He then grabbed the warlord's head and repeatedly rammed his knees in his face and ending with an elbow to the neck. The warlord hit an uppercut to the chin of the blond but then caught the boot of Tai who didn't want TK having all the fun. As the warlord got up, the two super-soldiers attack with flying fist, each one connecting with him. Tai then powered up and launched his tsunami wave, hitting him with a huge explosion that could be seen miles in any direction. As the dust cleared, the warlord seemed almost dead as the two landed.
" You give up or are you thirsty for more?"
He slowly got up and cracked his neck and smiled.
" Play time is over."
As they wondered what he meant, the warlord shot at the warriors, clothes lining both. TK jumped up and attacked the afterimage of his foe and caught a thrust punch to the face, sending him to a building. Tai, now back up, sent a ball at him but he batted it away and sent one of his own. As he fell, he realized what he meant. He was only toying with them and now they face his true power. Max also realize this and he jumped in the fight. The warlord saw him and backed handed him to a wall, knocking him out.
I don't know how long I was out but it was raining when I woke. I looked around to see the city in ruins with bodies all over the place. I immediately though of my father and uncle. By this time, I could fly so I took off to find them. I sensed around but couldn't find them. Then I saw the outline of my uncle and flew down. I touched him but he was already dead. Then I heard a cough and some movement and looked back to see my dad pretty hurt so I went to him.
" Dad, you ok?"
" I'm sorry, son. We underestimated him. He was too damn strong."
" Come on, dad. We can get you back and..."
" No son. It's too late for me. I'm dying. Listen son. You must never tell anyone, not Kari, not the other kids, not even genni about the power. If the warlord found out that you can do this he'll kill you before do it. Promise me."
" But dad..."
" PROMISE ME!"
" Ok, I promise."
" Good son. Just remember that I have and always will love you. Remember: you're a kamiya and..."
" And a kamiya never quits."
" That's right. Goo-good bye my son." He let one last gasp and my father, the greatest soldier in the UDA, the leader of the digidestined, died before my very eyes. I couldn't take it any more. I lost so many people to him any my rage and sorrow exploded. I suddenly felt different, more powerful. I looked in puddle of water and saw my reflection and seen that I had transformed. I immediately powered down to keep my promise to my dad. Later Kari fell to a crippling disease and passed away. Now I had to take care of the others. I had to watch the real world fall to the warlord but I wasn't ready to face him, not yet anyway. I trained sam, keke, and the twins to fight but now I feel I'm ready. But I know my parents are proud of me, of the man I have become but that's thanks to them.
"...And that's my story."
Max looked around and saw the reaction to his story. The boys were trying not to cry, the women were crying and the digimon were straight out bailing.
" Max I'm sorry we yell at you." Keke said as she hugged him.
" No. You had a right to be cross."
" No I understand." Said Cody's grandfather. " You were fulfilling your promise to your father and that is indeed an honorable act."
" Thanks."
" Now I think I speak for everyone here when I say, LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" Said tike to the surprise of the parents that a little boy had such a dirty mouth.
" Allow me." Max announced as he transformed and, with one hand, blasted a path thru the complex. The large group walked thru the path to find the four standing outside and to everyone's amazement, almost every digimon had gathered outside the complex.
" What's going on?" asked ken.
" They are here to see you max."
" Why?"
" When you transformed, every digimon alive, here and in the real world, felt your power and they want to be near you because for the first time in a long time, the digital world feels truly alive."
" It does to me too."
NEXT TIME: max meets azulogmon who has some news of his powers and something else too. And the warlord shows his true power,
