For Our Digital World
By: Lord Archive
The Japan Digidestined gathered in the Digital World after receiving word from Gennai that Azulongmon wanted to address all of them.
"I have spent the past year since Belial Vamdemon's destruction looking at the potential futures our worlds could have," Azulongmon began. "I have seen some things that trouble me greatly.
"While mating is not an unknown concept to digimon. Some digimon still engage in the practice of procreating with other digimon. The offspring of two digimon often inherits the power of the parents.
"This is the case with humans as well. Any child you Digidestined have in the future may have the ability to become Digidestined themselves. If both parents are Digidestined, the resulting offspring WILL be a Digidestined.
"The more powerful the parent, the more powerful the offspring will likely become. A child born of powerful parents can become the greatest light. A god who's blinding light he shines would call forth a great darkness that will attempt to defeat that light. A darkness more evil than Apocalymon or Myotismon. However, for one to be born mortal, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The child may become a god of darkness who may have to be killed by his own parents or sibling."
The Digidestined were shocked by his words.
Azulongmon continued. "Taichi Kamiya, you still have the power I granted you to allow Agumon to fight Black War Greymon. Soon, that power will never be able to leave you, but you have a choice. There is a threat on the horizon that will require a digimon of War Greymon's strength to handle. You can keep that power to deal with that threat, or you can pass that power to someone else. However, if you keep that power, you can NOT have a child with ANY other Digidestined. The choice is yours."
The sky boomed with lightning.
Tai glanced at Sora, who was standing next to Matt. He chuckled coldly. "I think that decision has already been made. I'll keep the power."
Sora and Matt bowed their heads.
Azulongmon seemed to smile. "I trust that you will not abuse it." He then sighed. "For Hikari Kamiya, Takeru Takashi, and Daisuke Motomiya... there is no choice. The powers of light must not be combined with either hope or miracles. The potential power inherent in Hikari is too great to combine with your traits or any others. You three should not mate with a Digidestined for the risk is still present.
"It is not necessary for any of you other Digidestined to worry about combining your traits with another Digidestined. While I would advise against it, all you would be doing is ensuring your children's place as a future Digidestined."
The Japan Digidestined stood still in shook as they absorbed his words.
"How can you say that?" T.K. began to shake. "Are you saying we have to throw away our feelings just because there's a chance our child would become a god?!"
"There is no chance with you," Azulongmon boomed. "A god will result."
"You're just afraid that a kid of mine will replace you," T.K. retorted.
"A threat to me is a threat to the Digital World. If your child were to fight and defeat me, the Digital World may be destroyed as a result of my death," Azulongmon warned.
"But what about our feelings?! We can't give up on love just because you asked us to! It doesn't work that way!" T.K. yelled.
"That's enough."
T.K. looked over. "Kari?"
Kari stood stiffly, eyes closed. "We don't have a choice. I will not knowingly endanger either our world or the Digital World for any reason, even for love. The happiness of two people does not out weigh the safety of two worlds."
"But... Kari... what about last weekend... when you said you'd love me forever?" Tears fought to be free of T.K.s eyes.
"I always will love you, Takeru. We should've never gone beyond friendship, and I'd like to go back to being friends with you," Kari said coldly.
"But...." T.K. choked.
Kari's eyes snapped open into a scowl. "Has your warning come too late?"
"It has not," Azulongmon replied.
"Did you see to that being the case?" Kari asked bitterly.
"I did not. And I would not without your consent, or else I'd create the very threat I wish to prevent," Azulongmon answered.
"I see. Is there anything else?" Kari asked.
"There is not," Azulongmon answered before vanishing.
Kari turned around stiffly. "I'm going home."
Tai went to walk with her as all the other Digidestined remained behind.
T.K. would not look at Kari.
Davis stared in shock as he watched her leave. He could not believe what he heard. Azulongmon telling him that he couldn't be with Kari or even Yolei for that matter because he had too much power. And then hearing Kari question the digimon god if she was pregnant. He just couldn't understand it.
Davis watched as T.K. struggled against breaking down crying while his lover walked away. He didn't think Kari could ever be so cold as to do what she just did. How could she just give up on love?
Kari's shoulder twitched. Davis swallowed hard as he noticed her starting to shake. She latched onto Tai, burying her face into his chest.
Though they were about a half-kilometer away, Kari's sobs echoed loudly. It broke his heart to hear her cry as if someone had robbed her of her soul. It didn't matter to him that she was crying because she could never be with T.K. again, and not him. He would love Kari anyway, and she was hurting and he could not go to her and help.
T.K. curled up into a ball, still fighting his own tears and trying not to hear Kari cry. Matt reached out a comforting hand, but T.K. slapped it away and ran blindly away from Kari.
Part 1
"Tai," Kari called, knocking on the door to her brother's room,"Tai, you've got to get up soon."
He didn't answer, so Kari yelled again," Its a beautiful day. Come on, you should do something with one of your friends. Maybe Davis wants to hang out."
"I don't have the energy to deal with him today," came the reply. It was muffled.
"Probably talking with the pillow over his head," Kari thought. Outloud she said,"Why don't you go to the arcade with Izzy?"
"He always wins."
Kari thought for a moment," How about Joe? You could.....well....okay, scratch that. Uh, Mimi's back from America to visit, why don't you take her to see a movie?"
"I did once, all she does is chatter."
Kari gritted her teeth. Ever since Sora and Matt started dating, Tai's mood had been in a downward spiral. Lately, it was a challenge just to get him out of bed. He was lucky it was summer, or else he would have lost credit for his first period class.. "You've got to come out sooner or later. You need to eat!"
Tai's stomach growled. "Damn," he said to himself. He walked out of his room and sat down at the table.
"Good," Kari said, putting a plate of eggs in front of him.
"You, cooking?" he asked, surprised.
"Mom and Dad are away for the week, remember?"
"Oh yeah, " he said, taking a bit of food.
Kari thought for a moment. "Tell you what, Tai, anything you want to do today, we'll do it, kay? Just the two of us. We'll do some brother-sister bonding."
Tai shruged,"I don't know...."
"Come on Tai," Kari said, sitting down across from him. She reached over and held on to his hands,"You can't do this to yourself. Sora went with Matt, and, while I wish it would have been you, we have to respect her decision."
Tai raised an eyebrow at her. "And what about you?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?" Kari asked, defensively.
"I know how you handle depression," he said,"You bottle it up inside, and turn your face into a cheerful smile. You think that if you pretend your feelings aren't there, they'll go away."
"And what would I have to be depressed about?" she asked, walking to get her breakfast plate.
"Azulongmon's warning."
"Oh that!" Kari said, walking towards the table,"That's not bothering me at...." she suddenly stopped short and dropped the plate. She fell to the ground, sobbing loudly. Tai was at his sister's side in a second. He placed his arms around her like whenever she was upset when they were younger.
"Kari," Tai said, allowing his younger sister to sob loudly into his shoulder,"I....um..." He hesitated, unsure of what to say. He had been rejected, but Kari had been told that if she was to sleep with T.K., her child would become Rosemary's Baby.
"Kari," he said, slowly bringing her to her feet,"I-If you don't stop crying, you'll never be able to go out with me."
She looked at him strangely, her tears starting to stop. Tai closed his eye and sighed. "I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was that I would love to do some brother/sister bonding today."
As he had guessed, Kari's face blossomed. "You mean it?"
Tai nodded, a smile on his face. "Sure."
Kari ran over to the counter threw an envelope on the table in front of him. "That's your school schedule, why don't we do shopping?"
"Sure. Let's get dressed, but I'm not carrying a hundred or so bags of cloths home, okay Kari?"
"Why would I do that?" Kari asked as she closed the door to her room.
"Because you're a girl!" he said as he got dressed.
Once they reached the mall Kari went on a shopping spree, across a dozen stores ending in the clothing store which sold their school uniforms. Tai was not having fun, but, as long as his sister was happy, that was all that mattered. "Yeah," he thought,"That's what you didn't try to convince Sora to go with you, and look where it's gotten you!"
"We'd better stop here, too," Kari said, walking inside a store,"We need our uniforms."
Tai sighed as he picked up the hundred or so bags Kari had promised she wouldn't get. Tai walked inside where he was knocked over. He landed on his back hard. He saw a guy grab his hand and pull him to his feet. "Hey man, I'm sorry."
"Its okay," Tai said regaining his balance,"I'm fine."
"Tai," Kari cried, running over to him,"Are you okay?"
"Tai?" the guy asked.
"Oh, Davis," Tai said,"What are you doing here?"
"Looking for uniforms, probably just like......hi Kari."
"Oh," Kari said, a depressed looking slowly crossing her face,"H-hi Davis."
Davis sighed, his face starting to match Kari's. "I'll...um, look over here."
"No, no," Kari said,"T-that's okay. I-I'm going to go try on my uniform, okay?"
The two boys nodded. "I'll wait right here," Tai said, sighing. He then looked at Davis. "So....um....how are things in the Digital World going?"
Davis shrugged. "Not much is happening there now," he said,"We're still waiting for the threat that required Wargreymon's strength, although, I think Imperial Dramon could have handled it."
"Watch it," Tai said with a slight smile,"Or Agumon might have to prove his superiority to Veemon and Wormmon."
Davis laughed back. "Yeah, like the time the three of them went up against Black War Greymon, do you remember afterwards, how much they tried to outdo each other at everything?"
"Yeah, the funniest thing was the cooking contest. I remember Agumon needed brown sugar, so he poured some of my Root Beer into a cup of sugar."
Davis laughed again. It seemed like nothing was wrong with them, that they weren't two of the world's most heartbroken guys. That they had someone special in their lives, that they weren't alone.
"Funny you should say that," Davis said, between laughs,"Veemon was saying that the other day when we brought Matt and Sora to the American Digital Gate..."
"What?" Tai asked, his laughter fading.
"Oh," Davis paled, suddenly remembering what he had said,"Um...ah...n-nothing."
"Davis," Tai said, annoyed,"Why did Matt and Sora go to America?"
Davis said,"They went to a place called Miami Beach, for a vacation. It was cheeper to go through the Digital World gates, then to travel by plane."
Tai felt a sick feeling emerge in his stomach. "T-they're...alone, with just each other?" Tai asked. He brought his hand to his head,"I-I don't believe this."
"I'm sorry," Davis sighed,"I know how much she means to you."
Just then, Kari returned from the dressing room, wearing her school uniform. When she saw the depressed look on Tai's face, she knew something had happened. "What happened?"
"Excuse me," they heard a voice from the dressing room,"Do you go to Odiba High School?"
"Yes,"Tai said, as the door opened and a girl stepped out.
"I'm a transfer student, is this the correct uniform?"
Tai stared at her, a confused look on his face. He called out a name.
"No," the girl said,"My name's Miriya."
"I'm Kari," his sister said.
"Davis."
"Have I gone insane?" Tai thought,"No, Kari and Davis see her too." Tai stared at her. She was wearing knee high socks, with a green skirt and top, the correct uniform, but he wasn't staring at her clothes. It was her light red hair that reached her shoulders, and her face. Tai knew that face, it was Sora's.
"M-Miriya?" he asked, confused,"Sora, what game are you playing?"
The girl looked at him, completely confused. "What are you talking about?" she asked,"I've never met you until today. My name's Miriya, not Sora." She looked Tai over. "Say," she said,"You're pretty cute, do you want to have lunch?"
Kari and Davis pulled Tai to a corner of the store. "Tai!" Davis whispered,"What's up with you?"
"What do you mean?" Tai asked,"How should I act when you see the twin of someone you thought didn't have a twin?!"
"Tai," Kari said,"I think you should take her out to lunch."
"What?" Tai asked,"Kari, I don't even know her."
"You should do it," his sister whispered more fiercly,"It might help you overcome your heartbreak over Sora."
"I don't know...." he said.
"Go for it," Davis said.
"All right," Tai said, "I'll do it."
He and the other two walked back over to where Miriya was standing. "Um, hi," Tai said.
"Hi, yourself," Miriya said, a little nervous.
"I can't believe it!" Tai thought,"She looks so much like Sora, but, Sora's in America with Matt, how can she be here? Why would she even play this kind of game, its pointless."
The two stared at each other for a second before Kari kicked Tai in the back of the leg. "Owe!"
"What?" Miriya asked.
"I..um.. I mean, uh, w-would you like to go out for l-lunch?" Tai asked, rubbing the back of his leg.
Miriya smiled. "I'd love to."
