The Things We Do For Love – Part 4
By: Heero
FOR LOVE OF TAI – IZZY
IZZY'S POV
Prodigious! I thought I'd find out something useful by hacking into the Digimon Emperor's database, but this beats everything! It did take quite a while, but the result is definitely worth the effort. The Digimon Emperor is quite ingenious. I'm actually quite lucky to have been able to hack into his system. After hacking into his system, I simply browsed around for something useful and I found that something. He has a very advanced program that can track down Digimon that have his special mark, otherwise known as the Dark Rings. Then, his special cameras can zero in on that area and actually see that Digimon. Rather phenomenal.
I simply conducted a search for Agumon, hoping the Digimon Emperor wasn't on his computer right then. If he was, some simple hacking of his could cause my computer to crash. Luckily for me, he wasn't on his computer. Maybe he was too busy planning to cause mayhem in the Digital World. Anyways, I pinpointed the exact location of Agumon. He was on File Island, far away from the Digimon Emperor's headquarters. I thought this was rather strange, as my computer hadn't shown that any trouble was happening in the Digital World. I didn't really think much of it though. Maybe Agumon was in the process of being specially trained or something. I accessed the special camera focused on the area of File Island that Agumon was located on and I nearly fainted from shock.
Agumon indeed was at that location, but nobody else was. The Digimon Emperor wasn't there and none of his Dark Ring controlled Digimon were anywhere to be found. Agumon was sleeping. It looked like he needed the rest. The sight of Agumon safe and sound sent my mind into a whirl of thought. Had the Digimon Emperor turned from his evil ways? Had Agumon escaped? Had he been rescued? Then, I was distracted from my train of thought by the sight of a Dark Ring on Agumon's paw. I hadn't seen it until he'd rolled over in his sleep. This new piece of information had to be added to the equation. This problem had to be pondered for a while longer.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that Agumon must have escaped, even though the possibility of actually making a successful escape was close to none. I had only come to that assumption, when my Digivice started malfunctioning. It had detected one of the Digidestined in the Digiworld. That was rather strange, as I had not been informed of any plans to make a trip to the Digiworld. I hooked up my Digivice to my computer to find out what was going on. Today certainly was producing many surprises. This being the biggest one yet. Tai was in the Digital World and he was in the Digimon Emperor's headquarters.
I was so shocked I nearly fell out of my chair. Once I recovered my wits, I proceeded to think logically about this new dilemma. I quickly banished all treacherous thoughts that Tai might have joined forces with the Digimon Emperor. Not only was it irrational, I knew Tai better than that. I knew Tai would NEVER EVER betray us. He was our leader and would give his life for our cause. I don't know how I could have entertained the possibility for even a fraction of a nanosecond. It was probably due to the fact that I always try to see the problem from all perspectives, even the most unlikely ones.
Once I had come to the conclusion that Tai could not be betraying us, I became quite worried and anxious for Tai's safety. I mean, he was facing the Digimon Emperor by himself. He hadn't thought to bring us Digidestined with him. If the Digimon Emperor decided to attack Tai with his Digimon, Tai wouldn't be able to defend himself as Agumon was miles away and we weren't with him.
I was just about to take a leaf out of Tai's book and impulsively go to the Digiworld, find Tentomon, and go to Tai's rescue, when I fortunately stopped and thought for a second. I could have hit myself over the head for my lapse of rational thinking. I was still able to use the Digimon Emperor's prodigious program and I could use it to actually see Tai. Then, I could determine whether or not Tai actually required rescuing before I ran off to make a fool out of myself.
It must have been my concern for Tai that had caused me to momentarily lose my senses. Usually I'm known for keeping my cool head in tight situations. However, with anything related to Tai, I have anything BUT a cool head. I have an irrational obsession with him that, try as I may, I can't get rid of. I've tried to make myself see reason, but it doesn't work. I know that Tai is impulsive, outgoing, loud, sometimes annoying, and rather slow on the uptake. All these attributes of Tai being the exact opposite of mine.
However, these same attributes have grown on me. I am actually rather fond of them. They make Tai the person that he is. Also, Tai has many good qualities that make him a great person. He's brave, loyal, a strong leader, and determined. I admire his strength and courage and sometimes wish I could be more like him. I've tried convincing myself that my infatuation with Tai is a phase I'm going through, due to my admiration of his numerous admirable traits. However, I don't entirely believe that. Either way, it doesn't matter. I know Tai will never care about me like that. I just have to keep my feelings a secret.
As usual, thinking about Tai distracts me from more important tasks, like the one that is at hand right now. I should be checking to see what Tai is doing. The search should take about 15 more seconds to complete. YES! It has worked and I can see a fuzzy figure that should be Tai on the screen. Now to adjust the camera to focus it on Tai. A bit to the right, a bit more, PERFECT! OH MY GOSH!!! Tai is kissing the Digimon Emperor!
