*******The next day, Motomiya residence*******
Davis woke up late, but not as late as normal. He got up and got dressed, then he grabbed his D3 and D-terminal from his drawer and went into the digital world.
Once there he found himself in a forested area, but Veemon was nowhere to be seen. Davis decided to walk around the area to find him. He didn't have to look long till he found him sleeping at the base of a tree.
"I don't think that's the best way to guard the digital world."
"huh, wha…" Veemon said jumping to his feet.
"Hey,"
"Davis," Veemon ran over to him.
"So nothing happened?"
"Nah, just the usual stuff."
"Well how about we go home and get something to eat?"
"Sure, I'm starved."
"Well then let's go." They then left the digital world. When they arrived back in Davis's room Veemon had dedigivolved to Demiveemon.
"Hey what happened here?"
"I told you I was hungry."
"Well you'd better eat a lot, the digital world is facing a crisis and you can't be stuck in your in-training form."
"Enough talk, bring on the food already."
"Hang on, I'll see if the coast is clear." Davis stuck his head out of the door and took a look around the hall and kitchen. There was no one in sight.
"Alright, let's go." They walked quietly into the kitchen and Davis had a look in the fridge and cupboards.
"We don't have much, oh wait, here's some pancake mix."
"What's a pancake?"
"You'll see." Davis got out a bowl and the necessary ingredients. He put everything in the bowl and mixed it up. He turned to get the pan and turn the stove on and when he turned back Demiveemon was drinking the mixture.
"Mmm, those pancakes are good, but it's more of a liquid than a cake."
"That's because I wasn't finished."
"Oh well, tastes good that way."
"I'm sure it does, only problem is that was for both of us."
"Sorry."
"That's okay, I'll have cereal."
"Ooh, can I have some too."
"You really are hungry." Davis then got the bowls and the cereal. He made sure Demiveemon didn't start eating all the cereal before the milk was in the bowl. They ate the cereal and Davis cleaned up. Demiveemon grabbed an apple from the table and ate that in a few bites too.
"Davis, what's all that noise," Jun said as she came in. Demiveemon froze on the table.
"I was having breakfast, duh."
"Well, could you do it more quietly, and who were you talking to?"
"No one, you're hearing things Jun."
"Hey, what is that thing, I've seen you with it before?"
"Uh… it's a present for Kari."
"Ooh, Davis has a girl friend."
"No, it's a birthday gift, she's with T.K. now."
"Oh well, I know the feeling, Matt left me for that Mimi, what does she have that I don't other than every shade of pink available. But that doesn't matter anymore, I have Jim Kido."
"Why don't you go drool somewhere else Jun?"
"Hey, I was trying to be nice. Say where'd you get that thing, it's kinda cute."
"Uh, they don't sell them anymore."
"Ahh, well I'm going to shower." Jun left and entered the bathroom. Demiveemon digivolved to Veemon.
"Finally, I thought she'd never leave, I couldn't have held that in for much longer. Does she ever shut up."
"No, I've caught her holding entire conversations with herself."
"She's definitely a nutcase."
"Davis I forgot to tell you.." Jun shouted, approaching the kitchen
"Hide Veemon," Davis urged and pushed him into a cupboard.
"What now Jun?" Davis asked angrily.
"Hey, where'd that toy go?"
"I put it away. What did you want?"
"Mom wants you to clean your room."
"Alright, I'll do it, just leave me alone."
"Jeez, calm down, I'll go." She left the room and returned to the bathroom. Davis let Veemon out of the cupboard.
"We'd better get going." They then left for the pizzeria.
*******Kamiya residence (Earlier that morning)*******
"Tai, wake up!" Kari shouted from outside Tai's room, she was also banging on the door.
"What!" Tai shouted back.
"We have to get up and check on the impending crisis for the digital world, you know, how there might not be one soon."
"Ahh that, it can wait," Tai said as a joke.
"Tai, how can you joke about that."
Tai opened the door then continued, "You did start it."
"Well, let's just get going."
"Okay, get your stuff."
"You forget that I have my stuff, you don't."
"Right."
"And Tai,"
"What?"
"Put some shorts on." Tai sweatdropped, then he returned to his room and got ready. They left for the digital world. They arrived on file island and decided that they should meet back in a half hour. Tai found Agumon by the beach.
"Hey,"
"Tai, you're here."
"Of course, so what happened?"
"Nothing, business as usual."
"Good, so what were you doing?"
"I was just remembering the first time I digivolved, it was weird, but I liked it."
"Yeah, you really got me out of a jam that time."
"It was weird, a sudden surge of power, it's hard to describe (A/N sure is)."
"You know, I don't think I've ever thanked you for protecting me for all that time. Well, thanks buddy." Agumon smiled.
"Don't worry about it, it's what I'm meant to do." It was now Tai's turn to smile.
"We'd better get going, Kari will be waiting. They returned to where Tai had arrived. Kari was waiting as Tai said she would be. They decided to walk and talk so they wouldn't be late. They returned to the real world.
Almost immediately after they arrived the doorbell rang. Tai went to answer to find it was T.K.
"Hey T.K., what's up?" Tai greeted.
"Nothing, I just came over to see Kari."
"I should have guessed, come on in." they walked into the lounge and Tai went to get Kari from her room.
"Hey Kari, T.K.'s here."
"Okay I'm coming." Tai returned to the lounge and sat with T.K.
"So how did things go in Patamon's sector."
"He said there were no problems."
"Well this is good, there were no problems in either Agumon's or Gatomon's sectors."
"Good, I was kinda worried."
"Well we could get going if Kari would HURRY UP," Tai said raising his voice at the end.
"I'm coming," she yelled back. A few moments later she entered the room.
"Hey T.K.," she said and walked over to him.
He stood up, hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, shortly followed by, "hey Kari."
"I think I'll have to return that greeting," she said kissing him.
"If you two are finished saying hello, I suggest we get going."
"Yeah, we probably should," T.K. said. They got up and left for the pizzeria. As they got out of the door the saw the elevator was still not working.
"Why don't they fix those, it can't be that hard can it?" Tai said disgruntled.
"It's kind of odd, the elevators in my building aren't working either."
"I don't suppose you've had any power problems, lights flashing by themselves and the like?" Kari asked.
"No, sounds like you have a ghost," T.K. replied.
"That's what I said," Tai said under his breath.
"Don't start that again," Kari said.
"No point in complaining, it's out of our control, I guess we'll just have to take the stairs as usual." They proceeded down the 8 stories worth of stairs and exited the building. As with yesterday the streets were deserted, the storm was also getting worse.
*******The pizzeria(A/N no more stalling)*******
Tai, T.K. and Kari met Davis at the door. Matt, Mimi, Izzy and Joe were already waiting. they joined the group.
"Anything to report?" Izzy asked
"No sir," Tai replied saluting as a joke.
"Very funny. Seriously though, did anything happen?"
"No, nothing out of the ordinary. How about you?"
"Nothing yet, but Sora hasn't arrived yet."
"She's late, it's not like her."
"Why, you worried?" Matt joked.
"Shut up Matt," Tai retorted, "So what do we do?"
"Well maybe we should wait a while and see if she arrives," Mimi suggested.
"I think that would be best, we can't jump to conclusions at a time like this," Izzy said.
"Okay, you guys stay here, I'm gonna go over to her house to see what's holding her up."
"Alright, email us when you get there," Izzy said as Tai was leaving.
"I thought we weren't supposed to be doing anything irrational," Matt protested.
"Did you want to try and stop him?" T.K. said.
"Yeah, you know how he is when he gets like this," Kari added.
"I suppose," Matt responded.
Tai had gotten out the door and out of sight, he began to jog, Agumon just managing to keep up. As he went he was getting progressively faster and soon he was sprinting down the path, he'd picked Agumon up so they could go faster. He burst into Sora's building and lost no pace on the stairs. He arrived at the door to find it was locked.
"Crap," he muttered. He knocked for a while and called but there was no answer. Eventually her neighbour came out, Agumon dived behind a plant just making it, "Do you need to get in young man?" the elderly woman said.
"Yes, she has my, uh… wallet, I left it here yesterday," Tai replied, stumbling for an excuse to get in.
"Oh, well I have a key, I'll let you in."
"Thankyou very much." She opened the door and Tai thanked her again.
"The door has a deadbolt, just close it on your way out."
Tai walked in and looked around. Sora wasn't in the kitchen lounge or her bedroom. He approached the bathroom and knocked, there was no reply. He checked her computer, it was on, he knew where she was. Tai mailed Izzy and told her that Sora was not there and that he was going in after her, then he entered the digital world.
*******Back with the others*******
"What does it say," Matt asked impatiently.
"He said that Sora's not there so he's going in after her," Izzy replied, I'm going to tell him to wait. Izzy sent the mail and told Tai to meet them at the park and they would use his lap top to go after her.
"He's not replying, he's gone in without us," Izzy said.
"Well, we've gotta help him," Kari said.
"We can't just go in from here, people would see," Izzy stated.
"Yeah, what would people say if they saw a whole bunch of kids just disappear," Joe said jokingly.
"I suggest we go to someone's house, or somewhere where no one can see or take my lap top."
"Okay, let's go to my place, it's closest and there's no one there," Matt suggested.
"Great, let's go," T.K. said. They ran over to Matt's apartment and went in after Tai and Sora.
*******Back with Tai*******
Tai arrived in Sora's sector. It was a field area that stretched for miles, but Tai couldn't see Sora any where. He walked around for a bit till he was very lost.
"Hey Agumon, do you know this region?"
"I've been here once or twice."
"Do you know where she could be?"
"There's a few caves in the area, they're just down the hill over there. Come on, I'll show you." Agumon led Tai down a long hill and at the base was a bunch of bushes and shrubs. He walked over to one of the bushes and pushed it aside to reveal an entrance to the cave.
"Here's the entrance." They entered the cave and Tai took out a pen sized flashlight. They began looking for Sora. After a while they came to a choice of two caves.
"We'll have to split up," Tai said.
"You choose," Agumon replied.
"Sure leave it to me to choose." Tai thought shortly, "Alright, you go left, I'll go right." They took their respective paths, Tai walked for a while and eventually came across Sora.
"Sora!" Tai said and ran over to her. She was lying on the floor, Biyomon was with her.
"Tai! You came, I was really beginning to worry that no one would come for me.
"Of course we would, or I would." Sora was speechless.
"So what happened here Sora?"
"I was attacked. I came in as planned and met Biyomon. We were on our way back to the exit when something attacked us from behind. We ran and ran, then Biyomon told me about this cave so we decided to come here, but on the way I fell and I think I've sprained my wrist."
"Sora, why did you run, you make it sound like you were helpless when Biyomon was there with you."
"I know it's not possible and I'm not sure if I'm delusional…"
"What is it Sora?"
"Devimon, Tai it was Devimon. I was so scared, last time Angemon had to use up all his energy to defeat him."
"Sora, you forget he's only a champion and Biyomon could reach ultimate."
"I know, but I panicked."
"Well, I'll go get Agumon and we'll get outta here."
"Okay." Tai left to get Agumon. He found him in a small cave, trying to fit through a small hole.
"Agumon, it's okay, I found Sora."
"Really, where?"
"Not far from where we split up actually."
"Oh, nice of you to tell me."
"Sorry, but we gotta go."
"Okay, you lead the way." They returned to where Sora was, she had stood up and was waiting for Tai.
"Alright, let's go," she said when he arrived.
"You sure you're up to it?"
"I'll be fine, but maybe we should tell the others to meet us."
"Yeah, I'll do it now." Tai emailed Izzy and told them to meet them at the nearest exit. From then they walked to the entrance of the cave.
"I'll check to see if the coast is clear," Tai said sticking his head out of the cave. There was nothing in sight. In fact, there was nothing, no movement whatsoever.
"Is it clear?" Sora asked.
"It's all quiet, too quiet if you know what I mean."
"Oh well, let's go while we can." They exited the cave and began walking to the exit. They had walked up the hill and could now see the others way off in the distance. Out of no where Devimon came from behind and knocked Sora, Tai, Biyomon and Agumon flying. Sora was lying far from the others and dangerously close to Devimon and she wasn't moving. The others were running over but were still a large distance away. Tai was a little stunned but managed to stand. "We're not afraid of you, we defeated you once and we can do it again."
"You are technically incorrect boy. Yes, you defeated Devimon, but I am not he. I am Helios."
"Well, I'm sure we can defeat you too."
"I doubt that, you see, I am not of this world, so you could never really get rid of me, just my current form."
"We'll just see about that." Sora was now standing and starting to get some distance.
"Agumon, I think I've had enough of this guy."
"Right, Agumon digivolve to…" but nothing happened.
"What's going on buddy?"
"I'm afraid that's cheating, you see I learnt about that digivolving trick and I didn't like it so I erased it. But now you see, I'm interested to see what happens when something dies, instead of being deleted."
"Sora get outta there," Tai shouted running over to her. He had to sprint and Helios was closing in on her with his arm. Tai dived and knocked Sora out of the way but took the full blow himself. He fell to the ground and did not move.
"Not as planned, but seems to have had the same effect ."
"Tai! Sora screamed running over to him, "Don't die Tai, you can't die, you can't." Sora's crest began to glow. "I love you Tai, so you can't die." Her crest was now shining brighter than ever before.
"What is that light, I can't seem to get past it. I must know more, you are not just ordinary children." At that he vanished.
"Sora? I… I…" Tai started, then blacked out.
There you have it, part 5 over. 2 questions remain, how do they defeat Helios, and is Tai going to die (Yeah, I'll kill off one of my favourite characters). Please review!! Part 6 up on Saturday (Hopefully). Thank you to lilac kamiya who has reviewed twice, if you liked this fic read a few of hers, they're even better.
Davis woke up late, but not as late as normal. He got up and got dressed, then he grabbed his D3 and D-terminal from his drawer and went into the digital world.
Once there he found himself in a forested area, but Veemon was nowhere to be seen. Davis decided to walk around the area to find him. He didn't have to look long till he found him sleeping at the base of a tree.
"I don't think that's the best way to guard the digital world."
"huh, wha…" Veemon said jumping to his feet.
"Hey,"
"Davis," Veemon ran over to him.
"So nothing happened?"
"Nah, just the usual stuff."
"Well how about we go home and get something to eat?"
"Sure, I'm starved."
"Well then let's go." They then left the digital world. When they arrived back in Davis's room Veemon had dedigivolved to Demiveemon.
"Hey what happened here?"
"I told you I was hungry."
"Well you'd better eat a lot, the digital world is facing a crisis and you can't be stuck in your in-training form."
"Enough talk, bring on the food already."
"Hang on, I'll see if the coast is clear." Davis stuck his head out of the door and took a look around the hall and kitchen. There was no one in sight.
"Alright, let's go." They walked quietly into the kitchen and Davis had a look in the fridge and cupboards.
"We don't have much, oh wait, here's some pancake mix."
"What's a pancake?"
"You'll see." Davis got out a bowl and the necessary ingredients. He put everything in the bowl and mixed it up. He turned to get the pan and turn the stove on and when he turned back Demiveemon was drinking the mixture.
"Mmm, those pancakes are good, but it's more of a liquid than a cake."
"That's because I wasn't finished."
"Oh well, tastes good that way."
"I'm sure it does, only problem is that was for both of us."
"Sorry."
"That's okay, I'll have cereal."

"You really are hungry." Davis then got the bowls and the cereal. He made sure Demiveemon didn't start eating all the cereal before the milk was in the bowl. They ate the cereal and Davis cleaned up. Demiveemon grabbed an apple from the table and ate that in a few bites too.

"Uh… it's a present for Kari."
"Ooh, Davis has a girl friend."
"No, it's a birthday gift, she's with T.K. now."
"Oh well, I know the feeling, Matt left me for that Mimi, what does she have that I don't other than every shade of pink available. But that doesn't matter anymore, I have Jim Kido."
"Why don't you go drool somewhere else Jun?"
"Hey, I was trying to be nice. Say where'd you get that thing, it's kinda cute."
"Uh, they don't sell them anymore."

"Well, I'm sure we can defeat you too."
"I doubt that, you see, I am not of this world, so you could never really get rid of me, just my current form."
"We'll just see about that." Sora was now standing and starting to get some distance.
"Agumon, I think I've had enough of this guy."
"Right, Agumon digivolve to…" but nothing happened.
"What's going on buddy?"
"I'm afraid that's cheating, you see I learnt about that digivolving trick and I didn't like it so I erased it. But now you see, I'm interested to see what happens when something dies, instead of being deleted."
"Sora get outta there," Tai shouted running over to her. He had to sprint and Helios was closing in on her with his arm. Tai dived and knocked Sora out of the way but took the full blow himself. He fell to the ground and did not move.
"Not as planned, but seems to have had the same effect ."
"Tai! Sora screamed running over to him, "Don't die Tai, you can't die, you can't." Sora's crest began to glow. "I love you Tai, so you can't die." Her crest was now shining brighter than ever before.
"What is that light, I can't seem to get past it. I must know more, you are not just ordinary children." At that he vanished.
"Sora? I… I…" Tai started, then blacked out.
There you have it, part 5 over. 2 questions remain, how do they defeat Helios, and is Tai going to die (Yeah, I'll kill off one of my favourite characters). Please review!! Part 6 up on Saturday (Hopefully). Thank you to lilac kamiya who has reviewed twice, if you liked this fic read a few of hers, they're even better.
