The soft, repetitive beep of the life support unit in room 83 of the intensive care wing in Odaiba hospital announced that a certain Takeru Takashi's status was critical, but stable. For now.
Around the dark, almost silent room, many figures stood and sat, staring, bleary - eyed and tearful, at the still figure of Tk.
Two figures stood out in particular stood out from the rest, one was a 13 yr - old girl named Hikari Kamiya, and the second was a 16 yr - old rock star named Yamato Ishida.
Kari took Tk's limp hand and stared at his still face. She fought back tears. " Tk.." She whispered. It had been three weeks now. 3 weeks of waiting, hoping to see his blue eyes open, to hear his voice, to see his smile. 3 weeks to wait, fearfully, never knowing if he would ever awaken from the coma that held him in a deathly embrace. Kari sighed, released Tk's hand and walked over to her older brother, Tai. Tai hugged his little sister silently. He, too, cried, sad and scared, for his friend's fate.
Matt finally gave up the constant battle that had been raging inside him, and let out a sob. He fought back the tears, and walked to his brother's bedside. He hadn't spent enough time with him. He'd spent all these years ignoring him, thinking of him as his brother, an annoyance. He started to cry openly. All that time wasted! And he may never speak to his little brother again.
"Don't cry Matt, it's just..." Just what? Tai asked himself. Matt was his best friend, and Tai knew, despite the cool exterior that Matt tried so hard to maintain, how deeply he cared for his little brother. He tried to imagine if it had been Kari lying limp in a hospital bed these past weeks. He couldn't. It was just too horrible. He hugged his little sister closer.
The other figures in the room were also waiting anxiously, blaming themselves for Tk's misfortune, and mentally slapping themselves for their' inability to help the keeper of the crest of hope, Tk.
In his own head, Tk was dreaming. Unlike the irrational dreams of healthy sleep, these dreams were startlingly real. Two kept playing in his head. The first was Tk's favorite. He and Kari...Kari. One of the best friends he'd ever had, although he knew their' friendship went much deeper than that... He and Kari were walking through a field of beautiful flowers in digiworld. In the distance, 10 kids, some older, some younger, were paying soccer. Tk smiled as he remembered them. One was his older brother, Matt. He was defense. Yeah, Matt would always be there for him to rely on, a friend as well as a brother... Another was Davis, a boy his age that appeared to love soccer more than anything... he was attack. Sure, Davis and he might fight sometimes, but it usually turned out for the best... Yet another was Tai, Matt's best friend and Kari's older brother. Tai was also defense. Tai would protect him.. Yolei was goalie. The last line of defense, always there... Cody.. his
position wasn't usually in soccer... he was the one who thought things through, who made sure the field was stable, yep, that's Cody... Izzy, the computer whiz, tactical genius, who always knew what to do, always had an answer. Good old Izzy! Sora, attack position, but gentle and loving. He liked Sora. She looked out for him. Joe, cautious, but reliable. Yeah, Tk knew he could count on Joe. Mimi was on the sideline. "You can do it!" she called, encouraging. Mimi.. so sincere.. Always there for anyone. The last was Ken. Tk didn't know Ken very well. But what he did know was that he was kind.. Yeah.. Kind... Then, there were more people... His mother... Father.. Friends he'd known throughout his life... The images began to get hazy, and started to blend into a big spiral, spinning, faster, faster... Then, the spiral exploded into a different dream...
He was falling... falling... Kari tried to catch him, but she couldn't. " Kari!" He yelled, then, Matt tried to catch him. "I've got ya, little bro." He smiled, like he used to when Tk was little. But then he slipped. "No!" He cried. The others tried, too; Tai, Davis, Yolei, Cody, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Ken... "You have to try together!" He called to them.
"They can't hear you." The snarling voice of the evil digimon said. Then... indescribable pain! The evil phantom digimon reached inside Tk's chest and squeezed his heart. " Arrghhh!" Tk cried in absolute agony. The dream ended. But, unlike most dreams, the pain had been real.
Tk found himself in a room, floating over a bed. A boy was lying in the bed. The boy was dying. He looked closer. It was.. was.. Him? Tk floated lower, confused. There were people around the bed. Kari! His Kari. How he loved her. "Hey, Kari, Don't cry, it's me!" He said. But she just clutched his hand tighter and cried loudly. " Tk... don't.. Leave me!" She sobbed. Matt was there. He was crying, too. "Don't give up little bro.. We ...I.. I need you. Please don't die." Die? Him? Now it was Tai. He, too, was crying. So many tears... why? " Hang in there, Tk." The others were all there, each crying, each talking to the boy in the bed. A doctor rushed in as the frantic beeping of the heart monitor slowed, then became one long, consistent beep. Matt gasped and looked at the doctor, his eyes wide and full of tears. The doctor shook his head sadly. Matt's face drained of all colour. Even his eyes dulled as reality took him. He started to tremble. Kari yelled, "No!" And flung her
head onto Tk's chest, which was still now. Tk tried to tell them that it was all ok, that he was fine. But he was floating, up, up. And, far away, in an apartment building in Kawada, a digivice and the crest of hope dulled then disappeared as the soul of a digidestened was released, and flying free...
The end.. Or is it?
So, what do you think? I have written the next... ooh... say....5 parts.... But I won't release them unless I know that this one was appreciated. Okaies? Please review!
