All righty then. Moving right along. That last chapter was a killer, I had
it all worked out then it just kinda jumped out of my head and moved to
Mexico or something, so I'm sorry it was so short and if it didn't make
much sense. I know that Kari was OOC, hell she new she was I'll get to all
that latter so don't worry about it for the moment ok?
I'm sure some of you are smart and know what I'm going to do. That is if anyone besides my two friends and one other reviewer (THANKS EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT REVIEW BY THE WAY, IT MEANT A LOT TO ME) is even reading this. My friends already know what is going to happen and I don't know if the reviewer came back past chapter 2 or not :p hope ya did and I hope I'm still keeping you entertained.
Anyway I don't own Digimon right now but once I get a hell of a lot more money then I do right now I'll think about it. The tapes that is, I really, really want to see the rest of 02 and the real ending, at lest I'm hoping that that peace of crap they gave us here in the states wasn't the real ending or I might just cry about it. and I don't think any of you wish to see a 19 year old cry over a cartoon do ya?
Chapter 11.
The gray fog swept through everything. All the digidestined save one were enveloped at the exact same time.
Lock was spared from the assault simply because he was in the air after checking up on Ken and Yoli when the fog struck on that fateful third day. The fog hit hardiest at the strongest of the destined. As such TK and Tai would take the brunt of this first move in the war as would he. Sora and Kari would run the risk of loosing that which could truly bring them happiness because of it. And Mimi would pay for her sins with the loss of a friendship.
This first volley was well placed, almost destroying any chance the destined had of working as a unit.
They were attacked with words and pictures. Tai by what could have been a delusion or another destined. Kari with emotions that she couldn't keep in check. Each different and each the same. The crests show that which best represents the holder, and so it was to the times they didn't or couldn't hold to their crests that the fog attacked.
Mimi was hammered with her using of Michael, while Joe was attacked by the specters of both Tai and Izzy for letting them down during the whole Dioboramon incident, by simply not being there.
Mat was forced to watch himself betray Tai over and over again, in the third person, from slugging him to making MetalGarurumon fight WarGraymon. While Ken saw the whole digimon emperor thing in the same way Mat was forced to relive his past. Yoli saw herself bounce from boy to boy, with all the lies she told in the doing. Izzy saw every time he let his thirst for knowledge get the better of him and place his friends in danger.
Willis saw every time his crest had brought heartache to the people and digimon he cared about, from the first time into the digital world to when his crest reached out and attacked him in the real. Cody who's unwillingness to bend hurt both him and his friends, from Ken to TK, his stubborn refusal to look deeper into things was his greatest fault.
Davis, who like his predecessor as the holder of friendship, wasn't really quite sure what that meant. His delay at helping to get Agumon back and oddly his treatment of TK seemed to weigh most heavily upon his soul. And finally we have Michael who was lost through no fault of his own, but do to the honorless actions of one he called friend.
*******
And we have the holder of Faith. The one to arrive last to the party and perhaps the one who did the most damage. He landed after all the rest had been in the fog for some time and what he saw was nothing less then an ending that could no longer be.
"Behold barer of Faith! Ye hath failed at thy task!" the voice of Azulongmon boomed out from the depths of the fog. "Look into the fog and see thy future, and the destiny of thy compatriots." Travis was about to give the Digimon god sharp words for using his 'biblical' voice when he new all it did was tick him off, but the words turned to ash on his tongue when he saw what was being presented to him.
The digital world with every person with a partner, the good and the evil, the balance kept and continued. He saw the second and third wave kids with their children, Ken and Yoli together but that seemed to be it, although Sora's child seemed to look like Mat and Mat's child seemed to look a lot like Sora, of him and his wave of kids their was nothing to be seen, besides Ken of coarse.
His croaked out "no" was barley even a whisper. "I'm afraid so holder of Faith, you and your allies attempts shall be for not. Leave now or parish, even the chosen ones cannot fight destiny." At those words the crest around Travis' neck started to glow as his hand few up to it in an unconscious action before he retorted in a voice not wholly his own.
"You are wrong there imposter!" the odd duel voice that was coming out of the American boy stated, " Destiny is NOT Fate and as such *can* be fought, *can* be changed or *can* be walked away from! If this be our fate then so be it, but I would rather die before I just allow it to happen." And with that the crest flashed a blinding white destroying the fog and dumping Travis into a seen out of both his nightmares... and his dreams.
*******
Upon the dissipation of the fog many things happened at the same time. Tai and TK reached for Sora and Kari out of reflex, but both of them raced to holders of friendship before sobbing 'I'm sorry' into their chests leaving their best friends in an odd looking pose with an identical look of surprise on their faces as they took in Kari's position.
Mimi took one look at Michael and brokenly told him what she had done before burrowing into Joe's chest to sob as well, right as Ken broke down. Yoli rushed to his side to give him what comfort she could, As Mat clung to Sora. He didn't know why she needed this or what she was crying about but he needed her close after seeing just what he had done to his best friend.
He couldn't even bring himself to look at him after seeing just what he had become. And Davis rapped his arm around Kari and shot TK a victorious smile only to have that smile die as he watched the light in TK's eyes die as well. The others merely stood in self contemplation as Michael stared at Mimi for a bit before turning to walk away.
*******
It was in that moment, that instant when everything was either perfect or so very wrong that Travis found himself also transported though the power of the fog to the clearing that they had all first arrived at. The sight that greeted his eyes was that of Ken and Yoli together, and that of Mimi and Joe together. The sight of Tai trying his hardest to keep from falling apart as Mat and Sora clung to each other as if their lives depended on it. One of his kids about to walk away from his responsibility and Kari apparently with Davis. Of TK there was no sign save his hat blowing in the wind. And that is what did it, what finally broke his iron control, for the rest of his life he would regret what he said that day, but for good or for ill it was said.
"Cowered." It was but a whisper but it cut through the sobs and the platitudes like a gun shot. The venom in that one, barley breathed, word was so potent the recipient might have died had he been a lesser man. The collective gasps of astonishment however stood in evidence that this was no lesser man. It was in fact, Tai.
"Three days and you do nothing, nothing! How long will you let someone else rule your life without taking charge Tai? How long will you let this hang over your head? Take a stand or walk away, go for the ultimate reword or live with 'what might have been' for the rest of your life, but do SOMETHING!" he took a deep breath at this point in an obvious attempt to clam himself "Go think about it while you go find TK, he needs a friend who understands what he is going though right now and his *brother* wont be of much help." The word brother flew off his tongue as if he couldn't stand the taste of it, he did it so well that Mat flinched.
As Tai left without a word of protest the rest of the group gaped. Surprisingly it wasn't Kari who came to her brothers defense or even Davis who idolized him, no it was Sora who's red eyes blazed with anger as she ground out through clinched teeth, "Tai is NOT a cowered!" Travis didn't even look at her as he stated his response, and it was a response that only Sora didn't comprehend.
"You should ask him sometime Sora, he'll tell you I'm right. He is a cowered. One of the biggest I've ever met, but only when it really matters." He then turned and looked over at Michael. "And you, so you were used by a girl, it happens all the time, get over it. We all can't be held to your moral high ground all the damn time ok? I don't give a shit that she was supposed to be the sincere one, love makes people do things out of character, if you don't know that by know then go watch one of your father's cheesy moves!"
He then bent down and grabbed TK's fallen hat in one fist. It seemed oddly appropriate that it had been left behind when the boy had ran; for it was his trade mark, part of who and what he is, with out it he seemed less then himself. And it was also the trigger to the biggest tirade in Travis' life. His blue eyes like ice, his glare pined Kari to the floor, as he brandished the cap like a weapon... or a bible.
"I don't know what your game is Kari, but I hope you had your fun playing with the boys because this little stunt might well have killed us all. It's funny really, the holder of light driving others towards darkness, you should be proud.
"You had a real chance at something, something rare and amazing and what do you have to show for it? A pale imitation of both your brother and the man that nearly destroyed him." At this point Davis was just about to defend both himself and Kari when that icy gaze was turned on him stopping the words dead in this throat.
"And you, its nice to see your friendship side has finely started to show. It's a common trait amongst friends, apparently, to rip out a buddy's still beating hart and put it on display. to steal his soul and flaunt over your victory at every opportunity." This last was obviously aimed at Mat as well as Davis and he emphasized his parting comment by spitting at their feet. "You four make me sick, now I need to see if I can help Tai keep TK from falling into that pit of despair he has walked over ever since Angemon's death. Without his lighthouse I don't know if its even possible." He turned to go but gave one last parting shot before walking away.
"I wonder, will you be able to fight off the darkness with no ray of hope to guide your way this time Kari? Did you even think of that before you tried to kill him? No? didn't think so, I almost hope you do get sucked in, it would be fitting punishment for a bitch like you!" and with that he was gone leaving shock and outrage in his wake.
*******
As he strode off in the direction of Tai and TK's digivices, he inwardly cursed himself. He never lost control like that, if he did he wouldn't still be alive. Anger clouds the mind and makes you do and say foolish things as he had just proven. "Well I guess I am a fool because now I'm going to let my stupid pride keep me from apologizing. Well damn it they needed to hear it! Now I just hope they were listening."
But as he walked he thought more and more about why he had lost it like that, his blue eyes flew open as the impact of what had happened to him in that fog finely hit him and he grabbed for the tag around his neck only to find it gone. "Sara?" it was more a prayer then a question and it was the last coherent thought he would make as he sensed a presence behind him right before the world went dark.
I'm sure some of you are smart and know what I'm going to do. That is if anyone besides my two friends and one other reviewer (THANKS EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT REVIEW BY THE WAY, IT MEANT A LOT TO ME) is even reading this.
