Courageous Angel
Chapter 5: Reveal the Enemy
"That was... strange. Very strange..." Taichi muttered to himself. He
sat up on his bed and picked up the piece of paper. Sure enough, the exact same
thing was written on it: 'Yuuki wo Tsubasa ni Shite'
Something clicked in his head, but it faded away before he was able to catch
what it was.
What it meant... What it meant... Well, he was Japanese, but... It was as if
something was blocking his thoughts. The words on the paper held meaning, but
what Taichi didn't know. Or just, couldn't recall...
There was some time to ponder later, he decided, rubbing his sore leg.
He went outside, cleaned up in the washroom, got dressed and went to the
breakfast table. Hikari was already there, frying some eggs.
They ate in silence, till Hikari finally asked, "Taichi, what did
happen yesterday...? You had me worried."
"..." They continued to eat quietly, but Hikari eyed Taichi nervously
from time to time. After he finished, he got up, but Hikari grabbed his arm.
"Wait. Please tell me Taichi... I just don't want to worry about
you." Taichi sighed. "Well-"
Ring!!
"That's the clock... We should get going to school, Hikari," Taichi
said right after the ring.
"Tell me later?" Hikari pleaded. He sighed again, deeply.
"..."
~*~
The day went by fast- and soon, school was over. Taichi closed his locker,
picked up his schoolbag, swung it over his shoulder and walked out of his
school. He planned to go home, hopefully he'll be alone for a while. Needed
sometime to think without anyone around, and Gatomon was probably with Hikari.
Just then-
"Taichi! Taichi!" Hikari came running up the school path with hands
in the air. Taichi moaned slightly, not like he hated seeing his sister, just
not now...
"Hmm?" Taichi said as soon as Hikari stopped in front of him, trying
to sound as normal as possible, but failing.
Hikari panted abit before speaking. "There's a DD meeting sheduled for today.
You're coming right? We can go together!" she said, smiling one of her
sweet smiles. Taichi hestitated.
"..."
"Taichi?"
"...I'm not going." This DD meeting would probably be like all the
others. Just a way to try and open him up and tell them all about this problem
they seem to see with him. But it was Taichi's problem, not their's, and he can
handle it by himself just fine. Besides, he didn't want them hurt. It was his
fight and his alone.
Hikari pouted and grabbed hold of his hand. He felt... Slightly cold, though
Hikari didn't see why, she just thought it was nothing and continued to try and
convince her brother. "Come on, what are you going to be doing
anyways?"
"Homework."
"...Taichi!" Hikari whined. She had to get him to the others.
This courage problem they've been having was getting worse each day. They were sure
it was because of a problem Taichi had by now.
Taichi shrugged her off and ran towards their house. Hikari just watched him.
He was... so cold, this wasn't like the Taichi she knew.
~*~
"Well?"
Hikari took in a deep breath and shook her head sadly. Silence fell upon
everyone.
"...We have to figure it all out very soon. Or I don't think we'll
last," Tailmon said, breaking the silence, "something bad happened to
him yesterday. Hikari and I don't know what, but it was something bad... Taichi
didn't like it being brought up at all. I think it's really
serious."
Silence.
"W-What excatly happened yesterday that you know of?" Koushiro asked.
"He came in, bleeding. His leg was bleeding. There was some evil presence
in the house, I don't know what, but I felt it," Hikari whispered,
clutching the folds of her jacket, "I-It was something I never felt
before. Like the dark ocean... But, more evil than even that. There was voices,
but I think it was only Taichi's voice. Like he was speaking to sometime only
he could hear, no one else. When the voices stopped, the evil went away. I
heard a thud, it was Taichi. He fainted from loss of blood. Tailmon saw that
Taichi was holding a digiegg, and Agumon wasn't with him. We think that egg is
Agu."
More silence.
"Is that all that happened?" Daisuke asked, a tone of worry for his
role model in his voice.
"Yeah, he wouldn't say anything about what happened when he woke up
yesterday or today," Gatomon said sorefully.
"...Taichi never acts like that. Something is seriously wrong and
he won't tell us," Yamato thought, out loud.
"We've gotta find out what's wrong with him..." Koushiro said.
"Yeah, but how...?" Daisuke asked.
"I don't know yet," Koushiro said. Everyone moaned. "Well, hey,
I'd like to see you be the smart one of the group!" Koushiro challenged.
Everyone, of course, didn't take up the challenge. No matter how smart Ken got,
Koushiro was always the brain of the group and it was best not to say so.
Everyone fidgeted in defeat.
They sat in thought for a while when Koushiro spoke again. "Well, let's
start with the obvious. I think Taichi would be going to the DigiWorld about
this time. Don't you?"
They all nodded. "So we should go to the Digital World!" Daisuke
shouted out excited.
"Well done, speaker of the obvious," Miyako snorted. Daisuke just
glared at her.
Everyone else sighed.
"Quit it you two..." Koushiro said as he took out his laptop and
opened it. "Someone open the gate."
Ken walked over and held his D-3 to the computer. "Digiport open!" he
commanded and they were all sucked into the Digital World.
~*~
Taichi paced around his room, a piece of paper in his clutched hand.
'Yuuki wo Tsubasa ni Shite'
What does it all mean! He banged at the nearest wall in fustrastion. He needed
to figure it out, but something prevented him to. Everytime he was close to
getting its' meaning, something seems to be saying back to him, "Not
yet..."
He sat on his bed, holding his head in his hands. Argh... This was just...
Suddenly, his blood ran cold.
'Angel of Courge... Com back to the Digital World... Or are you just a
coward who doesn't want to fight me?'
That voice, him. It was him! That... whatever it was! He didn't
think fallen angel suited it.
'Coward? I'll show you coward...' Taichi thought, grunting his teeth together.
He picked up the digiegg and his digivice, ran to his dad's computer and cried
'Digiport open!"
~*~
Snicker. "He's coming... Get ready."
"Yes master."
~*~
"Taichi... They're getting ready... Taichi, I hope you remember what to
do... The time has come."
~*~
"I'm tired... Where exactly are we going anyways... How are we gonna find
Taichi? The DigiWorld is huge!" Miyako complained.
"Quit complaining..." Daisuke muttered.
Beep. Beep.
"Hang on, my D-3 is beeping..." Iori said, reaching for his D-3 and
looking at it.
"What is it, Iori?" Armadillomon asked curiously.
"I think the signal's Taichi's... He just entered the DigiWorld and is
headed towards Infinity Mountain... There's two others there. What's that all
mean? Is this what Taichi's hiding?"
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Patamon told them, shuddering.
"Those two things give me the creeps," Tailmon commented.
"Well, if they are evil, we've gotta go help Taichi!" Takeru
exclaimed.
"Takeru's right, we've got to go check it out," Hikari replied.
"Let's get going then crew," Jyou commanded. "Right!" They
all called out and rushed towards the mountain, with their Digimon beside them.
~*~
'He's at the top of Infinity Mountain... At the top...' a voice
whispered to Taichi, 'the top...'. Taichi had just come into the Digital
World when the voice spoke to him. Without even thinking about who may have
said it or anything, Taichi ran towards the Mountain, Agumon's (or someone
else's?) digiegg in his hand.
He climbed, but as he got near the top, it got colder. Not cold as in weather,
but as in evil kind of cold...
The other DigiDestineds were also running up the mountain, but on the other
side.
As Taichi reached the top, he was pushed and pinned to the side of the
mountain. Agumon's egg rolled out of his hand and landed near a rock that
stopped it from falling to the ground below.
"Coward?! You call me that when you're the one attacking like one?!!"
Taichi shouted out angrily. Taichi tried to turn his head, but failed
miserably. Whatever was pinning him down was strong, and had claws.
A human with wings as black as night flew just behind whatever was holding
Taichi and smiled. "Ooooh, Taichi's complaining about how he's gonna
lose?" He smirked, "Please... You can't beat me in my own world,
with my own rules..."
"Your world?!!? The Digital World belongs to no one!"
"True... 'Til I came along..."
"TAICHI!!"
Taichi tried to turn to the voice of the speaker, but the claw pressed on him
harder. It sounded like- "Sora?!"
"Taichi!!" she shouted out again, startling Taichi's capturer, who
released him and dropped him to the rocky ground. Taichi quickly ran to the
digiegg and picked it up, hoping it was unharmed.
He turned to glare at the two figures and demand an explanation or to fight,
but stopped only to stare. He blinked. And blinked again. The thing that was
pinning Taichi down was... BlackWarGreymon.
"BlackWarGreymon?! But-" He was lost for words. Taichi opened and
closed his mouth a few times, trying to say something and managed to stammer
out, "W-Who are you!"
The winged being laughed. "Pity... Just the presence of me causes you
to weaken. Heh, I like it..."
"Who are you!!" Again Taichi asked, stronger now that he got over his
shook.
"An enemy... Your rival to be exact."
"I
think he wanted your name, master. Why don't you give it to him and humor him
for abit,"
BlackWarGreymon said, laughing quietly.
"Oh?" Another smirk. "Well, I can give him that... I
am... the DigiDestined of Fear..." For the first time, he flew into
the light, revealing his face. Hair, as white as newly fallen snow, and a red
scar that snaked down the ride side on his fair skin of his face. An eerie
silence filled the place as everyone's attention was focused on this person. He
smiled, threw his face upwards and laughed, breaking the silence.
"I am... Neo."
~*~*~
CLIFFHANGER!!! XDDD *gets whacked by fans of CA* Oww... *rubs head*
I should mention this... Cause I forgot earlier, that this was written before
the actual ending of season 2 was shown, so I didn't know the end would end up
with everyone frolicing around the DigiWorld. @.o; Argh... *kills the makers of
Digimon* Anyways, so in this fic, everything is just like when they had evil
around and only the Digidestineds were the ones able to go to the DigiWorld,
'cept not alot of bad guys. Just those now and then and stuff...
Neo's like Taichi's rival in the VTamer manga. ^-^ Like I said, I'm combining
the Digimon Manga and the show together. Whee~!!
Errr... Why did Taichi come from another computer and not in his own in chapter
3? And why'd he just use his dad's computer in this one? Ummm... *thinks*
*idea* Ohh!! Cause he didn't know which Digiport it was... He was in trouble
with Neo so he just went to the nearest Digiport! Yeah! That'll work! Check off
one plothole... Heh. ^^;
I think I'm done blabbing now... 33 reviews! Or no more fic!!
