Chapter eight: The Truth Is Out
"I married Sora!" Matt said out loud accidentally. He quickly covered his mouth as the other digidestined stared at him, Tai gave him an odd look. Sora smiled but it quickly faded. Ariyo had told her that. For a child who was very intelligent, Izzy was being very slow on catching on to what was going on, he had finally realized who these kids were and hit himself in the head for not realizing sooner.
"But if we're your ancestors, how can Sora be Ariyo's mom?" Asked Mimi. Sora eyed her quizzically.
"Huh? Ancestors?" She asked. Izzy explained the situation.
"We aren't their ancestors, we're their parents," Izzy turned to Nazo.
"Right, daughter?" He asked. Everyone's eyes widened.
"Right daddy." She said sadly.
"I don't understand, why didn't you tell us?" Mimi asked. Andoru stood forth. He cleared his throat.
"We come from the year 2027 and we were afraid that if we told you who we really are, we might be taking a chance of not being born, but we thought that if we had told you that you were our ancestors, it wouldn't matter to you and you wouldn't have to go looking around wondering if you were with Mr. or Ms. Right just to expect to have us, that's why we lied." He explained.
"But thanks to a certain blabbermouth," He eyed Ariyo who hung his head down solemnly. Mara glared at him.
"We probably won't be born." Mara stood up angrily.
"Don't call my brother a blabbermouth! I told Matt who I was to him!" As they listened to Mara, the digidestined figured out that Sora and Matt marry in the future, but Tai didn't even try to put two and two together, he was too busy laughing at the familiar scene.
"Like brother like sister." Andoru said disgusted.
"Take that back!" Mara pushed him. Andoru pushed her back.
"Make me!" He yelled. The two began to fight which reminded everyone of certain two people. Matt and Tai stood behind their own kid and picked them up by grabbing on to the back of their shirts. The two tried struggling out of their dads' grip but had no luck.
"I'm not finished with you Kamiya!" Yelled Mara. Andoru stuck his tongue out at her, which made her growl angrily.
"Alright alright, stop it you two!" Matt yelled out.
"Yeah you're starting to become Matt and me." Tai said. They gently put them down after they stopped struggling. The two went at it again. Matt and Tai decided to hold them in their arms until they finally calmed down. Even though it was an awkward moment, everyone had to laugh at the familiar scene.
"Hey Matt, what did you mean when you said that you married Sora?" Tai asked. Everyone groaned at Tai's ridiculous question. Matt explained very slowly as if he were talking to a mentally challenged person.
"Mara, told, me, that, I'm, her, dad; Ariyo, is, Sora's, son; Ariyo, and, Mara, are, brother, and, sister; get it?" Tai listened to his words carefully and then jerked his head back in realization. He looked from Matt, who had a smirk on his face, to Sora, who smiled at him nervously.
"Matt and I marry in the future." 'Sora and Matt?' Tai dropped Andoru and attempted to strangle Matt who had dropped Mara to stop Tai from grabbing his neck. The two kids watched their dads fight.
"I'll kill you!" Tai yelled.
"It's not my fault Sora chose me over you!" Matt said in a strained voice as he tried to push Tai away.
"Great, not only are they fighting, but they're fighting over their best friend!" Mimi cried.
"Can't we all just get along?" Joe asked as he tried to pull Tai away with the help of Gomamon, Gabumon, Agumon, Patamon, Tentomon, TK and Izzy. Sora stepped in between the two boys pushing them away from each other.
"As flattered as I am, will you two knock it off?!" Cried Sora.
"Don't look at me, Tai's the one who started it!"
"If you hadn't have stolen Sora away from me I wouldn't have started it!" Mara and Andoru watched in awe as their dad's were attempting to beat the stuffing out of each other. They were taking note of the way they fought.
"So that's how they fought back in the old days." Andoru said with amazement in his voice.
"No wonder why my mom says we're just like them." Mara said. Tai overheard her and pulled back panting heavily.
"We'll finish this later." He said under his breath. Matt sneered at him as he backed away. Sora sighed with annoyance. Mara smiled up at her and gave her a hug.
"It's great to see you mom!" Sora returned the hug with a wide smile.
"I've heard a lot about you, I'm glad I get to finally meet you." Sora said. The children faced their parents.
"I'm sorry for not telling you the truth mom." Makoto said to Mimi. She smiled down at him.
"Well it's no wonder why you're so adorable, look who your mom is!" Joe shook his head at this. Makoto hugged her. Joe then faced Kado.
"So I guess I'm your dad huh?" Kado nodded happily.
"Do you have a thirst for knowledge as much as I do?" Izzy asked Nazo.
"Yep!" She replied. Izzy chuckled as he playfully ruffled her hair.
"Wow I'm a digi-uncle!" Tentomon said.
"Wow it feels great to be a daddy!" TK piped. Hiroshi giggled.
"I'm invited to the christening right?" Patamon asked jokingly.
"I'm too young to be a mom." Kari said.
"That's why you're waiting till you're twenty-seven Kari." Gatomon said. Dakedo smiled warmly.
"Okay enough of this mushy stuff, everyone's so sweet I'm about to get a toothache!" Tai scowled. Sora frowned at him.
"What were you saying about beating Apoca-something-mon?" Sora rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"It's Apocalymon; Ariyo said that after we've defeated Piedmon we have to face Apocalymon." Tai eyed the boy.
"How do we know he isn't lying?" Matt glared at him.
"Are you calling my son a liar Tai?" He asked angrily. As Matt was walking towards Tai, Sora stepped in front of him.
"Oh no you don't, we've had enough fights for one day!" Tai made faces at Matt behind Sora's back. Sora saw him out of the corner of her eye. He immediately stopped.
"What?" He asked. Sora groaned at his immature behavior and stepped aside.
"Go ahead; beat him up if you want." She said to Matt. Tai changed the subject as Matt neared him.
"We better start heading towards Piedmon's place before he decides to come after us." Tai said.
"I thought you said you'd help find a way to send the kids back home Tai." Kari reminded him.
"We don't have time to worry about that right now, besides, no one else can see them except for us." Tai said. Kari was getting fed up with Tai's behavior. They all finally gave in to Tai's stubbornness. Suddenly Piedmon appeared. They all jumped back a bit.
"Piedmon!" Tai cried.
