MA: hey peoples. Sorry it took so long but I forgot pay for my netzero and I had to wait but I'm back. Meanwhile, I just got resident evil zero and takuya has been tearing it up.
Takuya: where's that key?
Tai: dude, zombies at twelve 'o clock!
Max: use the shotgun!
Takuya: it's out of ammo!
Takato: use the magnum!
Max: no! He's got to save that for the boss!
Takuya: damn it! They are on me! Get off!
Game: you died!
The boys: AWW SHIT!
MA: and as you can see, they are doing well. Well, many asked for so you got, more tazumi than you can shake a stick at. Anyone doing the disclaimer?
Zoe: I will. Ma doesn't own digimon but he does own Tyler, orda, piccaromon, and the forbidden spirit. Now step aside, boy. Let a lady handle this!
Takuya: do you see one around?
Zoe: funny. Now let me at those zombies!
MA: while Zoe gets ready to kick some undead ass, on with the fic!
DIGIMON THE MOVIE: LEGEND OF THE FORBIDDEN SPIRIT
TAZUMI: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
" What do you think they are talking about?" thought JP out loud. It had be a full day since the destined visit with shamanmon and the others noticed a change; before, zoe and takuya barely talked but now, as the group walked, the two stayed in the back, talking with each other.
" Don't know and don't care. It's not our business." Said koji.
" Yeah, if they wanna tell us, they would." Added Tommy.
" But he makes a point. I too would like to knew what he said to them." said bokomon.
" Maybe he told them where they could get some soup." Said neemon.
" Why would tell them to get soup?"
" There aren't many places to get good soup."
" I think your brains are made of soup."
" And what about Tyler? We came all this way to find out about that kid and only they know. Hey, maybe Tyler's an alien and some evil empire is after him." Said JP.
" Or maybe he's a super baby and he was sent here to save all the digimon." Said Tommy.
" Maybe he's takuya and zoe's kid from the future and was sent here to protect him." Koji said.
" That's crazy! You're crazy!" JP said, laughing uncomfortably
" Well what else could they be talking about?"
" Yes he does."
" No he doesn't."
" I'm telling you, he does."
" And I'm telling you, he doesn't."
" Zoe, I'm saying he does look like me."
" And I'm saying he looks like my uncle john."
" I fail to see why master Tyler needs to look anyone. Does it matter?" asked orda.
" It's what older people do, orda. They want to know where he gets his looks from, like Tyler gets his hair from me."
" And he gets his eyes from me."
" Oh. I still do not understand."
" Forget about it. We were just trying to make sense of the whole situation." Explained takuya.
" Yeah, it's not every day that you find your infant son from the future and with takuya, of all people."
" Yeah with...wait a minute! What's wrong with me?!"
" Well, you aren't exactly what I would call father material or husband material."
" What about Tyler? You must find some good about me if we get married and have him!"
" I must have felt bad about you and married you out of pity!"
The two argued about this but the others couldn't hear what it was about.
" Now that's the Zoe and takuya I know." Said Tommy.
The group decided to make a stop in a meadow and of course, they needed water. Takuya and orda went to a stream not to far away to get some.
" Say orda? Just when were you born?" takuya asked as he bent down to get some water.
" Born, sir?"
" When did I create you? How did I create you?"
" To be specific, I can't really say when you thought me up. From what I have gathered, some time during your time here, you attained a liking for electronics and became very smart."
" Really? So what happened?"
" I recall that it was two years after the defeat of cherubimon and the digidestined returned home........."
TWO YEARS LATER
Takuya worked at his desk for what seemed like a long time on a small metal orb with tools and a soldering iron. Next to his desk was a photo of the digidestined, ophanimon, and seraphimon. Most noticeable was JP had his arm around Zoe.
" Just a little more."
" Takuya!" his mother called to him.
" What?"
" When are coming to dinner?"
" When I'm done with this."
" Ok." she replied as the timer on the oven chimed, telling her that the roast was done.
" That boys works like a machine."
Just then, the doorbell rang. His mother rushed to the door and opened it to reveal a blonde haired girl with a huge smile.
" Oh Zoe! How nice to see you again!"
" Thank you, Mrs. Kanabara. Is takuya home?"
" Yes. The genius is up in his room, working on his project."
" Oh that."
" Well just go on up." She said with a smile as Zoe made her way to takuya's room, a path she knew by heart. As she did, takuya's brother appeared next to his mother.
" She here again?" he asked.
" Yes. Those two will make a great couple."
Even though she was officially dating JP, she was closer to takuya than any one else. Since she just moved into the city, she would often visit him at least four times a week and knew all about his special project. Though they fought a lot, they became the best of friends. She took a deep breath and knocked.
" Yes."
" It's me."
" Well, come in." takuya said with a smile, not even thinking to ask who it was because he knew it well enough.
" Hey."
" Hey." She said sitting on his bed.
" So how's it going?"
" Good. I'm almost done. Just a few more connection." He said returning to his work.
" So how are things with JP?" he asked with a little sadness in his voice.
" Umm, it's good. Really good." She answered, detecting the sadness. She liked JP but he really didn't understand her, like takuya did, anyway.
" That's good. Alright!"
" What?"
" I'm done." he proclaimed with a grin as he put the last plate on to the hull and screwed it in place.
" What is it?" Zoe asked, leaning over his shoulder.
" If this works, I would have created the world's first operational robotic digital assistant."
" Well, turn it on."
" Ok, here we go." He said, taking a deep breath before hitting the switch on the bottom. The unit whirled with life as arms and legs popped out and a single clear eye appeared on the top.
" Ohh! How cute!"
" Are you the creator of this unit?" it asked.
" It can talk?"
" Yeah. I gave it a self-development A.I. He learns watching."
" Are you this unit creator?"
" Oh I'm sorry. Yes I am."
" Please state your designation."
" What?"
" My name. He wants to know my name. It's takuya."
" Ta-ku-ya. Designation entered into memory banks for future reference. Please state your designation."
" Are you talking to me?" Zoe asked, pointing to herself.
" Yeah, he's asking for name."
" Umm, it's zoe."
" Zo-e. Designation entered into memory banks for future reference."
" See now he knows us."
" Query; does this unit possess a designation?"
" Your name? Hmm? I really had time to think of a name for you."
" What did you call him before?"
" The operational robotic digital assistant. Why?"
" I know! We could call him orda for short."
" That's great zo. Your name is orda. Do you like it?"
" Agreed. This unit designations is orda, an acronym for operational robotic digital assistant."
" So zoe gave you your name?" asked takuya.
" Yes. I hold special regard for her."
" And did you really talk like that back then?"
" Yes. I had not understood the subtleties of the human languages."
" So umm, when did, I mean, me and Zoe, uhhh, become boyfriend and girlfriend?"
" You mean when you and Zoe started a relationship?"
" Uhhh, yeah. You could say that."
THREE YEARS AFTER THAT.........
Takuya sighed as he walked into his dark room when a voice called out to him.
" This room is off limits to all unauthorized persons. Please identify yourself."
" It's me orda." He said, turning on the lights, revealing that he was wearing a tux.
" Master takuya. You are back from the group activity, I see."
" You mean the prom? Yeah I'm back and its just takuya." He said walking to closet.
" Alright master just takuya."
" Forget it."
" Sir, did you see miss zoe?"
" Uhhh yeah."
" Judging by your voice, she was with Mr. JP?"
" Yeah she was."
" Sir, do you have romantic feelings for her?"
" What? No! What makes you say?"
" Because when ever you or I mention her name, your body temperature rises 1.7 degrees."
" I knew I shouldn't have installed that thermal unit in you."
" In the words of the American band, nickelback, too bad so sad."
" You're right." He said appearing out of the closet in his house clothes consisting of a sweat pants and a muscle shirt, which showed off his well defined upper body.
" Orda, can I tell you the truth?" he asked, sitting on the bed as he did.
" Of course."
" The truth is I don't like Zoe. I love Zoe. I always have since the digital world."
" But she was involved with Mr. JP."
" Right. I mean, by the time I started to see her like that, JP had her wrapped around his finger."
" I would not worry about it."
" Why would say that?"
" Because when miss Zoe is over here, her temperature would rise a little when she was near you."
Takuya just smiled at his robotic friend when his phone rang.
" Hello?"
" Takuya?"
" Zoe? What's is it?"
" Mind if I come over?"
" Why? What's wrong?"
" I just need to talk to you."
" Sure."
It was ten o'clock when Zoe arrived at his window. He opened the window, allowing the girl that he loved to enter his room. Instead of her usual purple attire, she wore a simple brown jacket, white tee, brown pants, and sneakers. She had an almost dead look on her face as she sat on his bed.
" Zo, you ok?"
" You know, just when you think you know a person, they go ahead change on you."
" What happened?"
" We were have a great time. He was a gentlemen."
" JP?"
" Yeah. After we danced, I headed out side for some air. I didn't bother to see where he went. I heard some moans and heavy breathing coming from behind the gym. I figured it was koji and one of his many girlfriends not wanting to wait until the end and wanted to skip to the good part. When I look over, it was JP and that whore Pam Macy."
" Pam Macy? Parallel Pam? That bitch is looser than pocket change! What's JP doing with her?"
" Well he must have had a good time cause afterwards, on the drive home, the asshole breaks up with me. He cheats on me and has the nerve to break up with me. Heh. I guess I deserved It." she said, on verge of tears.
" No! That's not true! No one deserves that especially you!"
" Takuya."
" It seems to me that if that asshole can lower himself to the level of choosing Pam Macy over you, then he doesn't deserve you, not the other way around."
" You're right takuya. Despite me being older than you, you still know just the right thing to say."
" Thanks I think, but hey, you're only older by three months." He joked, getting a smile out her.
" Can I ask you something?"
" Shoot."
" Did you love him?"
" Now that I think about it, I don't know. I thought I did, but now, no way."
" Don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll beat the crap out of him for you."
" You don't have to do that."
" You're my friend zo. Besides, once this hits the fan, every guy in school will praise him for putting the beautiful goddess known as Zoe back on the market."
" Stop it takuya. I'm not a goddess."
" Yes you are. At least I think so."
" Takuya, you think I'm a goddess?"
" Of course. Who wouldn't? You're beautiful, smart, you speak your mind, caring. I've said too much haven't I?"
Zoe just looked at with a look of utter bewilderment. Takuya groaned as he fell back on to the bed.
" Great. Just great."
" Takuya, is this true?"
" Yeah, it is. You can leave." He said, covering his face with his hands in defeat when suddenly he felt a massive weight roll onto him and the feeling of hot breath on his hands. He slowly uncovered his face to see the green eyes of Zoe in front of him.
" Now why would I want to do that?"
" Zoe?"
" Now that I think about it, you're the only one who's been behind me all this time. I thought I should've been looking at the person in front of me when I should've looked at the person behind me. Tell me, takuya, do you have a crush on me?"
" No. No I don't."
" Oh."
" I'm in love with you."
Zoe grinned a little as she leaned for a kiss and takuya returned it with all the love, passion, and lust he had hidden in him for the past five years. Takuya then noticed that she was removing his shirt and pulled it over his head.
" Wait, zoe. Are you sure this is what you want?"
" I am very sure and you better not back out on me, takuya kanabara."
" You know me. I don't back out on anything." He joked as they continued their session, unaware that the little robot in the corner was activated and watching the whole scene and the act there after.
" Oh my."
" That was the first time we uhhh, you know?" asked takuya.
" Yes. It was the first time I had seen what human call sex. It was interesting." Answered orda.
" So what happened next?"
" see for yourself."
Takuya looks at the robot with a questioning look as orda opens a compartment on his body and pulled out a bundle of pictures.
" What are these?"
" Memories."
Takuya opened the bundle and began to thumb through; the first pic was of the group with JP's arm around Zoe which brought takuya down but the next one pick him up. It was of takuya and Zoe at the beach, both wearing bathing suits and with their arms around each other with orda at their feet wearing a large beach hat.
" Nice hat, orda."
" Thank you. Master takuya thought it make would make me look 'fly'."
Takuya laughed a little at his attempt at slang as he went through the rest. They were mostly of him and Zoe, with some of them with orda and a few with the other digidestined. In the ones with him and Zoe, they were all over each other, hugging and kissing.
" Were we happy?"
" I think happy is an understatement sir. Ever since that night, the two of you were inseparable. Mr. JP tried to get back with her but she was too much in love with you."
Takuya finally came to the last two pics; the fist was of their wedding day. Takuya was wearing the traditional tux with Tommy, koji, and JP by his side while Zoe wore a full-length wedding dress with some girls he didn't recognize. Neemon and bokomon were next to her while ophanimon and seraphimmon were on either side of them. In front of the couple was orda, wear a bow and a white dickey with his hands behind his back. The second pic was of takuya and Zoe; she was lying in a bed with a purple nightgown and holding a small baby.
" This one's from when Tyler was born." Takuya concluded.
" Yes. A few months after piccaromon arrived and began his siege of the earth. A few months later, master Tyler and I were sent here."
" What about me and zoe?"
" You and miss zoe didn't survive the last battle."
" Oh. Well, you and Tyler are here now and we'll get him to safety."
" Sir, I think we should return to the others."
" You're right." He agreed as he got up and took the water. He then noticed one of the pics on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it for a while with a sad smile.
" If it were only like that now."
" Sir?"
" Nothing orda. Let's go." He said, stuffing the picture into his pocket and walking off with him. Unknown to the both of them, Zoe was behind a tree and had heard the entire story. She slunk down the tree and began to really think about her feelings for him.
" You love him don't you?"
Zoe looked up to see X standing in front of her.
" Don't you ever announce yourself?"
" Don't change the subject. Do you love takuya?"
" I-I don't know what you're talking about." She answered, getting up and began to walk away.
" That's the thing about lying; some people are good at and unfortunately for you, you are not one of them."
" But......you see......I just......oh alright! I do! I love the ass! I had some feelings but the way he wanted to protect Tyler, and me. I fell for him! Happy?"
" Actually, no."
" What?"
" It won't help takuya become an ascendant."
" Why?"
" The power of the ascendant draws it's strength from not only life but emotions, mainly love. If you hide your feelings from him, he will only hide his from you and he needs his emotions unblock."
" But what he doesn't feel the same?"
" If he becomes an ascendant, he does."
" Ahh! This is the life." Said JP contently. Our group came across an inn in the area, run by a veggiemon. The inn was also build around some hot spring that was the major attraction. At first, they didn't have enough money for a room but someone had arranged for their room and board. When they asked who was responsible, he looked at takuya and said 'a friend.' the boys, along with the digimon were now relaxing in the spring while Zoe was putting Tyler to bed. Tommy was aimlessly swimming around the pool, koji was washing up a little, and JP was half asleep with some questionable bubbles coming from him. Takuya on the other hand, didn't seem to be enjoying the water. He seemed to be in a deep state of thought.
" Takuya, you all right?" asked koji, moving over to him.
" Huh? Koji? Yeah I'm ok. Why?"
" You kind of out of it. Usually you would be talking my head off."
" Sorry. I've had other things on my mind."
" Like what shamanmon said?"
" Huh?"
" Don't worry. I don't pry into others business."
" It's just, when you think you know someone, they go and change on you."
" This wouldn't happen to be about a certain blonde haired girl we both know?"
" What?! Why would say that?"
" God. You two are so alike, it's scary. Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm getting tired. I'm out."
" Me too. JP's turning this thing into a giant toilet." Tommy said, getting out with koji.
" That's not my fault. It was those beans." JP shot back as he got out too.
" Oh gummi!" exclaimed neemon.
" What's wrong?" asked bokomon.
" I'm turning into a prune!"
" Idiot! Come on. Your time is up!" the wise digimon said, dragging his partner, who was still freaking out, out of the pool.
" Hey, you coming taky?"
" No. I'm gonna stay in here for a while."
" Whatever."
And with that, takuya was now alone with his thought as he closed his eyes.
Zoe. What am I gonna do? After hearing that story and seeing those pics, my feelings are stronger than ever, but she probably doesn't even feel the same.
Oh well. A guy can dream, can't he?
Little did he know, someone was quietly slipped into the pool and sat next to him.
Man, Zoe is hot. I wish she were here right now.
Takuya.
Man, I must be dreaming good. I can almost hear her call my name.
Takuya.
I can hear her. This is a good dream.
Takuya.
Wait a minute. I'm awake! And if I'm awake, who's calling me? Could it be? Naw!
Takuya.
I'll just open my eyes and slap JP or whoever it is.
Takuya slowly opened his eyes, expecting to see koji or JP next to his ear but he found a much more shocking scene. Next to him was Zoe, smile and completely nude.
" Finally got you up." She joked.
" AHHHHHHH! YOU'RE NU......AND I'M......AND WE'RE......AHHHHHH!" he yelled, covering his package.
" Shut up! Do you want to wake up everyone in the inn?"
Seeing the sense in her words, he sunk back into the pool.
" And I've already seen you down there and you ain't hiding much."
" Give me a break already. So how's the kid?"
" He is asleep and orda is watching him."
" Good. But what about you? Why are you here? You wouldn't have gotten in here if the others were here, especially if JP were here."
" I just felt like it."
Why? Do you like it?
Does she like me?
" Well, if that's what you want. I'll go and leave you alone."
No! Stay you idiot! You're the whole reason I'm here!
" No! You can stay. I don't mind!"
Whoa! Last time I saw her like this, she slapped the mess out of me!
" Ok, whatever you say."
" So what were you thinking about just now?"
" About Tyler and this whole forbidden spirit thing. I can't believe that that kid has a spirit that could destroy the digital world."
" I can't believe it either but this time tomorrow, he'll be safe."
" Yeah. And what about me? X said I have some kind of super power hiding in me but he told me how to call it up or control it. What is it about and will it make a difference?"
" Don't think about that now. Just relax and drift off."
" But I can't. Not when there's some super powered ass running around, killing digimon and wanting to hurt Tyler."
" You should have to worry, as long as you are true to yourself and your emotions."
" I don't know about myself anymore. Ever since shamanmon's talk, I don't know about myself or what is expected of me. As for my emotions......"
" Yeah?"
" I don't know. I can feel something inside of me burning deep within me but I have no idea of what is it."
" Maybe you should talk about with some."
" But who can talk to about it?"
" Well for one, me."
" I-I can't. You might hear some things you don't want to hear."
" Like what?"
" Like how I...... never mind."
" Oh, ok. I'm going to go to bed now. See you tomorrow." She said, crest fallen, as she rose to leave.
" Zoe, don't go."
" I have to. You don't trust me enough to talk to."
" No, I trust you. It's just that........."
" What?"
" I......"
The burning. It's so close and hot now. I have to tell her now or I'll never get another chance.
" It's just that what takuya?"
" I......I......"
Just then, Zoe noticed that the water around takuya's feet was beginning to bubble and boil around his feet. Takuya's face was strained, as if something was inside him, trying to get out.
" I!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed as he seemed to explode in a blinding flash of light, blowing the water from around him. The other digidestined were awakened by the commotion and ran to the windows to see takuya, as an ascendant while Zoe was stunned motionless and speechless. The now golden hair youth slowly walked up to Zoe and hugged her.
He's-he's so warm.
" Zoe, this is what I had; a burning force in my heart that I had to let go and I did." He said, now looking directly into her eyes with his green ones.
" Zoe, I know now what I did. I know what it was. It was love."
" For me?"
" Yes. I love you, Zoe."
" I-I love you too, takuya."
And with that exchange, the two engaged in a deep kiss, both now bathed in his glow as everyone in the inn watched.
" It's about time." Said koji.
" Yeah! Go takuya!" yelled Tommy.
" Awww man! I can't compete with that!" grumbled JP.
" This is most interesting!" commented orda.
" Holy bread!" said neemon.
" Well, I don't know what is more shocking; the fact that they just confessed their love for each other, the fact that takuya seems to glowing with blonde hair or the fact that they are both naked." Wondered bokomon.
" Good job kid. I must say, it's much different than the way the others and myself did it but whatever gets the job done. So soak it up kid for tomorrow you fight and hopefully win."
NEXT TIME: the digidestined race to the next terminal but piccaromon knows this might be his last chance so he hits them with everything he's got.
BATTLE ABOARD THE TRAILMON
MA: well I hope you enjoyed it and the tazumi scene as well.
Zoe: it was so romantic.
Takuya: and revealing.
MA: join us next time when I will throw my Christmas party and the whole gang will be there.
LATER FICCERS!
Takuya: where's that key?
Tai: dude, zombies at twelve 'o clock!
Max: use the shotgun!
Takuya: it's out of ammo!
Takato: use the magnum!
Max: no! He's got to save that for the boss!
Takuya: damn it! They are on me! Get off!
Game: you died!
The boys: AWW SHIT!
MA: and as you can see, they are doing well. Well, many asked for so you got, more tazumi than you can shake a stick at. Anyone doing the disclaimer?
Zoe: I will. Ma doesn't own digimon but he does own Tyler, orda, piccaromon, and the forbidden spirit. Now step aside, boy. Let a lady handle this!
Takuya: do you see one around?
Zoe: funny. Now let me at those zombies!
MA: while Zoe gets ready to kick some undead ass, on with the fic!

TAZUMI: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
" What do you think they are talking about?" thought JP out loud. It had be a full day since the destined visit with shamanmon and the others noticed a change; before, zoe and takuya barely talked but now, as the group walked, the two stayed in the back, talking with each other.

" There aren't many places to get good soup."
" I think your brains are made of soup."
" And what about Tyler? We came all this way to find out about that kid and only they know. Hey, maybe Tyler's an alien and some evil empire is after him." Said JP.
" Or maybe he's a super baby and he was sent here to save all the digimon." Said Tommy.
" Maybe he's takuya and zoe's kid from the future and was sent here to protect him." Koji said.
" That's crazy! You're crazy!" JP said, laughing uncomfortably
" Well what else could they be talking about?"
" Yes he does."
" No he doesn't."
" I'm telling you, he does."
" And I'm telling you, he doesn't."

" Yeah with...wait a minute! What's wrong with me?!"
" Well, you aren't exactly what I would call father material or husband material."
" What about Tyler? You must find some good about me if we get married and have him!"
" I must have felt bad about you and married you out of pity!"
The two argued about this but the others couldn't hear what it was about.
" Now that's the Zoe and takuya I know." Said Tommy.
The group decided to make a stop in a meadow and of course, they needed water. Takuya and orda went to a stream not to far away to get some.
" Say orda? Just when were you born?" takuya asked as he bent down to get some water.
" Born, sir?"
" When did I create you? How did I create you?"
" To be specific, I can't really say when you thought me up. From what I have gathered, some time during your time here, you attained a liking for electronics and became very smart."
" Really? So what happened?"
" I recall that it was two years after the defeat of cherubimon and the digidestined returned home........."
TWO YEARS LATER
Takuya worked at his desk for what seemed like a long time on a small metal orb with tools and a soldering iron. Next to his desk was a photo of the digidestined, ophanimon, and seraphimon. Most noticeable was JP had his arm around Zoe.
" Just a little more."
" Takuya!" his mother called to him.
" What?"
" When are coming to dinner?"
" When I'm done with this."
" Ok." she replied as the timer on the oven chimed, telling her that the roast was done.
" That boys works like a machine."
Just then, the doorbell rang. His mother rushed to the door and opened it to reveal a blonde haired girl with a huge smile.
" Oh Zoe! How nice to see you again!"
" Thank you, Mrs. Kanabara. Is takuya home?"
" Yes. The genius is up in his room, working on his project."
" Oh that."
" Well just go on up." She said with a smile as Zoe made her way to takuya's room, a path she knew by heart. As she did, takuya's brother appeared next to his mother.
" She here again?" he asked.
" Yes. Those two will make a great couple."
Even though she was officially dating JP, she was closer to takuya than any one else. Since she just moved into the city, she would often visit him at least four times a week and knew all about his special project. Though they fought a lot, they became the best of friends. She took a deep breath and knocked.
" Yes."
" It's me."
" Well, come in." takuya said with a smile, not even thinking to ask who it was because he knew it well enough.
" Hey."
" Hey." She said sitting on his bed.
" So how's it going?"
" Good. I'm almost done. Just a few more connection." He said returning to his work.
" So how are things with JP?" he asked with a little sadness in his voice.
" Umm, it's good. Really good." She answered, detecting the sadness. She liked JP but he really didn't understand her, like takuya did, anyway.
" That's good. Alright!"
" What?"
" I'm done." he proclaimed with a grin as he put the last plate on to the hull and screwed it in place.
" What is it?" Zoe asked, leaning over his shoulder.
" If this works, I would have created the world's first operational robotic digital assistant."
" Well, turn it on."
" Ok, here we go." He said, taking a deep breath before hitting the switch on the bottom. The unit whirled with life as arms and legs popped out and a single clear eye appeared on the top.
" Ohh! How cute!"
" Are you the creator of this unit?" it asked.
" It can talk?"
" Yeah. I gave it a self-development A.I. He learns watching."
" Are you this unit creator?"
" Oh I'm sorry. Yes I am."
" Please state your designation."
" What?"
" My name. He wants to know my name. It's takuya."
" Ta-ku-ya. Designation entered into memory banks for future reference. Please state your designation."
" Are you talking to me?" Zoe asked, pointing to herself.
" Yeah, he's asking for name."
" Umm, it's zoe."
" Zo-e. Designation entered into memory banks for future reference."
" See now he knows us."
" Query; does this unit possess a designation?"
" Your name? Hmm? I really had time to think of a name for you."
" What did you call him before?"
" The operational robotic digital assistant. Why?"
" I know! We could call him orda for short."
" That's great zo. Your name is orda. Do you like it?"
" Agreed. This unit designations is orda, an acronym for operational robotic digital assistant."
" So zoe gave you your name?" asked takuya.
" Yes. I hold special regard for her."
" And did you really talk like that back then?"
" Yes. I had not understood the subtleties of the human languages."
" So umm, when did, I mean, me and Zoe, uhhh, become boyfriend and girlfriend?"
" You mean when you and Zoe started a relationship?"
" Uhhh, yeah. You could say that."
THREE YEARS AFTER THAT.........
Takuya sighed as he walked into his dark room when a voice called out to him.
" This room is off limits to all unauthorized persons. Please identify yourself."
" It's me orda." He said, turning on the lights, revealing that he was wearing a tux.
" Master takuya. You are back from the group activity, I see."
" You mean the prom? Yeah I'm back and its just takuya." He said walking to closet.
" Alright master just takuya."
" Forget it."
" Sir, did you see miss zoe?"
" Uhhh yeah."
" Judging by your voice, she was with Mr. JP?"
" Yeah she was."
" Sir, do you have romantic feelings for her?"
" What? No! What makes you say?"
" Because when ever you or I mention her name, your body temperature rises 1.7 degrees."
" I knew I shouldn't have installed that thermal unit in you."
" In the words of the American band, nickelback, too bad so sad."
" You're right." He said appearing out of the closet in his house clothes consisting of a sweat pants and a muscle shirt, which showed off his well defined upper body.
" Orda, can I tell you the truth?" he asked, sitting on the bed as he did.
" Of course."
" The truth is I don't like Zoe. I love Zoe. I always have since the digital world."
" But she was involved with Mr. JP."
" Right. I mean, by the time I started to see her like that, JP had her wrapped around his finger."
" I would not worry about it."
" Why would say that?"
" Because when miss Zoe is over here, her temperature would rise a little when she was near you."
Takuya just smiled at his robotic friend when his phone rang.
" Hello?"
" Takuya?"
" Zoe? What's is it?"
" Mind if I come over?"
" Why? What's wrong?"
" I just need to talk to you."
" Sure."
It was ten o'clock when Zoe arrived at his window. He opened the window, allowing the girl that he loved to enter his room. Instead of her usual purple attire, she wore a simple brown jacket, white tee, brown pants, and sneakers. She had an almost dead look on her face as she sat on his bed.
" Zo, you ok?"
" You know, just when you think you know a person, they go ahead change on you."
" What happened?"
" We were have a great time. He was a gentlemen."
" JP?"
" Yeah. After we danced, I headed out side for some air. I didn't bother to see where he went. I heard some moans and heavy breathing coming from behind the gym. I figured it was koji and one of his many girlfriends not wanting to wait until the end and wanted to skip to the good part. When I look over, it was JP and that whore Pam Macy."
" Pam Macy? Parallel Pam? That bitch is looser than pocket change! What's JP doing with her?"
" Well he must have had a good time cause afterwards, on the drive home, the asshole breaks up with me. He cheats on me and has the nerve to break up with me. Heh. I guess I deserved It." she said, on verge of tears.
" No! That's not true! No one deserves that especially you!"
" Takuya."
" It seems to me that if that asshole can lower himself to the level of choosing Pam Macy over you, then he doesn't deserve you, not the other way around."
" You're right takuya. Despite me being older than you, you still know just the right thing to say."
" Thanks I think, but hey, you're only older by three months." He joked, getting a smile out her.
" Can I ask you something?"
" Shoot."
" Did you love him?"
" Now that I think about it, I don't know. I thought I did, but now, no way."
" Don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll beat the crap out of him for you."
" You don't have to do that."
" You're my friend zo. Besides, once this hits the fan, every guy in school will praise him for putting the beautiful goddess known as Zoe back on the market."
" Stop it takuya. I'm not a goddess."
" Yes you are. At least I think so."
" Takuya, you think I'm a goddess?"
" Of course. Who wouldn't? You're beautiful, smart, you speak your mind, caring. I've said too much haven't I?"
Zoe just looked at with a look of utter bewilderment. Takuya groaned as he fell back on to the bed.
" Great. Just great."
" Takuya, is this true?"
" Yeah, it is. You can leave." He said, covering his face with his hands in defeat when suddenly he felt a massive weight roll onto him and the feeling of hot breath on his hands. He slowly uncovered his face to see the green eyes of Zoe in front of him.
" Now why would I want to do that?"
" Zoe?"
" Now that I think about it, you're the only one who's been behind me all this time. I thought I should've been looking at the person in front of me when I should've looked at the person behind me. Tell me, takuya, do you have a crush on me?"
" No. No I don't."
" Oh."
" I'm in love with you."
Zoe grinned a little as she leaned for a kiss and takuya returned it with all the love, passion, and lust he had hidden in him for the past five years. Takuya then noticed that she was removing his shirt and pulled it over his head.
" Wait, zoe. Are you sure this is what you want?"
" I am very sure and you better not back out on me, takuya kanabara."
" You know me. I don't back out on anything." He joked as they continued their session, unaware that the little robot in the corner was activated and watching the whole scene and the act there after.
" Oh my."
" That was the first time we uhhh, you know?" asked takuya.
" Yes. It was the first time I had seen what human call sex. It was interesting." Answered orda.
" So what happened next?"
" see for yourself."
Takuya looks at the robot with a questioning look as orda opens a compartment on his body and pulled out a bundle of pictures.
" What are these?"
" Memories."
Takuya opened the bundle and began to thumb through; the first pic was of the group with JP's arm around Zoe which brought takuya down but the next one pick him up. It was of takuya and Zoe at the beach, both wearing bathing suits and with their arms around each other with orda at their feet wearing a large beach hat.
" Nice hat, orda."
" Thank you. Master takuya thought it make would make me look 'fly'."
Takuya laughed a little at his attempt at slang as he went through the rest. They were mostly of him and Zoe, with some of them with orda and a few with the other digidestined. In the ones with him and Zoe, they were all over each other, hugging and kissing.
" Were we happy?"
" I think happy is an understatement sir. Ever since that night, the two of you were inseparable. Mr. JP tried to get back with her but she was too much in love with you."
Takuya finally came to the last two pics; the fist was of their wedding day. Takuya was wearing the traditional tux with Tommy, koji, and JP by his side while Zoe wore a full-length wedding dress with some girls he didn't recognize. Neemon and bokomon were next to her while ophanimon and seraphimmon were on either side of them. In front of the couple was orda, wear a bow and a white dickey with his hands behind his back. The second pic was of takuya and Zoe; she was lying in a bed with a purple nightgown and holding a small baby.
" This one's from when Tyler was born." Takuya concluded.
" Yes. A few months after piccaromon arrived and began his siege of the earth. A few months later, master Tyler and I were sent here."
" What about me and zoe?"
" You and miss zoe didn't survive the last battle."
" Oh. Well, you and Tyler are here now and we'll get him to safety."
" Sir, I think we should return to the others."
" You're right." He agreed as he got up and took the water. He then noticed one of the pics on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it for a while with a sad smile.
" If it were only like that now."
" Sir?"
" Nothing orda. Let's go." He said, stuffing the picture into his pocket and walking off with him. Unknown to the both of them, Zoe was behind a tree and had heard the entire story. She slunk down the tree and began to really think about her feelings for him.
" You love him don't you?"
Zoe looked up to see X standing in front of her.
" Don't you ever announce yourself?"
" Don't change the subject. Do you love takuya?"
" I-I don't know what you're talking about." She answered, getting up and began to walk away.
" That's the thing about lying; some people are good at and unfortunately for you, you are not one of them."
" But......you see......I just......oh alright! I do! I love the ass! I had some feelings but the way he wanted to protect Tyler, and me. I fell for him! Happy?"
" Actually, no."
" What?"
" It won't help takuya become an ascendant."
" Why?"
" The power of the ascendant draws it's strength from not only life but emotions, mainly love. If you hide your feelings from him, he will only hide his from you and he needs his emotions unblock."
" But what he doesn't feel the same?"
" If he becomes an ascendant, he does."
" Ahh! This is the life." Said JP contently. Our group came across an inn in the area, run by a veggiemon. The inn was also build around some hot spring that was the major attraction. At first, they didn't have enough money for a room but someone had arranged for their room and board. When they asked who was responsible, he looked at takuya and said 'a friend.' the boys, along with the digimon were now relaxing in the spring while Zoe was putting Tyler to bed. Tommy was aimlessly swimming around the pool, koji was washing up a little, and JP was half asleep with some questionable bubbles coming from him. Takuya on the other hand, didn't seem to be enjoying the water. He seemed to be in a deep state of thought.
" Takuya, you all right?" asked koji, moving over to him.
" Huh? Koji? Yeah I'm ok. Why?"
" You kind of out of it. Usually you would be talking my head off."
" Sorry. I've had other things on my mind."
" Like what shamanmon said?"
" Huh?"
" Don't worry. I don't pry into others business."
" It's just, when you think you know someone, they go and change on you."
" This wouldn't happen to be about a certain blonde haired girl we both know?"
" What?! Why would say that?"
" God. You two are so alike, it's scary. Well, I don't know about you guys but I'm getting tired. I'm out."
" Me too. JP's turning this thing into a giant toilet." Tommy said, getting out with koji.
" That's not my fault. It was those beans." JP shot back as he got out too.
" Oh gummi!" exclaimed neemon.
" What's wrong?" asked bokomon.
" I'm turning into a prune!"
" Idiot! Come on. Your time is up!" the wise digimon said, dragging his partner, who was still freaking out, out of the pool.
" Hey, you coming taky?"
" No. I'm gonna stay in here for a while."
" Whatever."
And with that, takuya was now alone with his thought as he closed his eyes.
Zoe. What am I gonna do? After hearing that story and seeing those pics, my feelings are stronger than ever, but she probably doesn't even feel the same.
Oh well. A guy can dream, can't he?
Little did he know, someone was quietly slipped into the pool and sat next to him.
Man, Zoe is hot. I wish she were here right now.
Takuya.
Man, I must be dreaming good. I can almost hear her call my name.
Takuya.
I can hear her. This is a good dream.
Takuya.
Wait a minute. I'm awake! And if I'm awake, who's calling me? Could it be? Naw!
Takuya.
I'll just open my eyes and slap JP or whoever it is.
Takuya slowly opened his eyes, expecting to see koji or JP next to his ear but he found a much more shocking scene. Next to him was Zoe, smile and completely nude.
" Finally got you up." She joked.
" AHHHHHHH! YOU'RE NU......AND I'M......AND WE'RE......AHHHHHH!" he yelled, covering his package.
" Shut up! Do you want to wake up everyone in the inn?"
Seeing the sense in her words, he sunk back into the pool.
" And I've already seen you down there and you ain't hiding much."
" Give me a break already. So how's the kid?"
" He is asleep and orda is watching him."
" Good. But what about you? Why are you here? You wouldn't have gotten in here if the others were here, especially if JP were here."
" I just felt like it."
Why? Do you like it?
Does she like me?
" Well, if that's what you want. I'll go and leave you alone."
No! Stay you idiot! You're the whole reason I'm here!
" No! You can stay. I don't mind!"
Whoa! Last time I saw her like this, she slapped the mess out of me!
" Ok, whatever you say."
" So what were you thinking about just now?"
" About Tyler and this whole forbidden spirit thing. I can't believe that that kid has a spirit that could destroy the digital world."
" I can't believe it either but this time tomorrow, he'll be safe."
" Yeah. And what about me? X said I have some kind of super power hiding in me but he told me how to call it up or control it. What is it about and will it make a difference?"
" Don't think about that now. Just relax and drift off."
" But I can't. Not when there's some super powered ass running around, killing digimon and wanting to hurt Tyler."
" You should have to worry, as long as you are true to yourself and your emotions."
" I don't know about myself anymore. Ever since shamanmon's talk, I don't know about myself or what is expected of me. As for my emotions......"
" Yeah?"
" I don't know. I can feel something inside of me burning deep within me but I have no idea of what is it."
" Maybe you should talk about with some."
" But who can talk to about it?"
" Well for one, me."
" I-I can't. You might hear some things you don't want to hear."
" Like what?"
" Like how I...... never mind."
" Oh, ok. I'm going to go to bed now. See you tomorrow." She said, crest fallen, as she rose to leave.
" Zoe, don't go."
" I have to. You don't trust me enough to talk to."
" No, I trust you. It's just that........."
" What?"
" I......"
The burning. It's so close and hot now. I have to tell her now or I'll never get another chance.
" It's just that what takuya?"
" I......I......"
Just then, Zoe noticed that the water around takuya's feet was beginning to bubble and boil around his feet. Takuya's face was strained, as if something was inside him, trying to get out.
" I!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed as he seemed to explode in a blinding flash of light, blowing the water from around him. The other digidestined were awakened by the commotion and ran to the windows to see takuya, as an ascendant while Zoe was stunned motionless and speechless. The now golden hair youth slowly walked up to Zoe and hugged her.
He's-he's so warm.
" Zoe, this is what I had; a burning force in my heart that I had to let go and I did." He said, now looking directly into her eyes with his green ones.
" Zoe, I know now what I did. I know what it was. It was love."
" For me?"
" Yes. I love you, Zoe."
" I-I love you too, takuya."
And with that exchange, the two engaged in a deep kiss, both now bathed in his glow as everyone in the inn watched.
" It's about time." Said koji.
" Yeah! Go takuya!" yelled Tommy.
" Awww man! I can't compete with that!" grumbled JP.
" This is most interesting!" commented orda.
" Holy bread!" said neemon.
" Well, I don't know what is more shocking; the fact that they just confessed their love for each other, the fact that takuya seems to glowing with blonde hair or the fact that they are both naked." Wondered bokomon.
" Good job kid. I must say, it's much different than the way the others and myself did it but whatever gets the job done. So soak it up kid for tomorrow you fight and hopefully win."
NEXT TIME: the digidestined race to the next terminal but piccaromon knows this might be his last chance so he hits them with everything he's got.
BATTLE ABOARD THE TRAILMON
MA: well I hope you enjoyed it and the tazumi scene as well.
Zoe: it was so romantic.
Takuya: and revealing.
MA: join us next time when I will throw my Christmas party and the whole gang will be there.
LATER FICCERS!
