Chapter 2 (Battle From the Sky)
Kari looked sadly at the window, still holding to her brother's shoulders. The thing that had flew by HAD to be an illusion, right? And her brother….. He was probably playing a horribly sick joke on him, right? Kari madly shook her head. Why can't I think?
"It doesn't take a genius to figure that out" T.K said mocking Gatomon in a geeky tone of voice.
"Oh be quiet T.K." Gatomon commented. T.K sighed.
"What we need to do right now is get out there. Something tells me that digimon isn't here for a tea party….."
"NO!" T.K and Gatomon were both caught off guard by the loud and sudden yell. The two looked back at the source of the cry. Her eyes were tear-streaked and her arms were quivering.
"We can't just leave Tai here" T.K bowed his head down.
"But Kari, you saw it! That digimon is headed straight for the centre (center) of Odaiba! We've got to stop it!"
'You can go, but I WON'T!" T.K fell silent. Hew bowed his head down, confused on what to do.
Gatomon glided through the air and landed smoothly beside Kari. She looked up at her friend. That innocent and sad look on Kari's face told Gatomon, that she'd be sticking by her side.
"I'm sorry T.K. You're on your own this time until Tai snaps out of his….. situation." T.K sighed.
"I'll stay with you guys then….." T.K looked up at the ceiling, furrowing his eyebrows. Please guys, help us out….. go get that Digimon…..
"WAH! What was that Tentomon?!" Izzy yelled frantically. Tentomon replied in much the same manner.
"I don't know Izzy! But maybe we can go and check out what it is!" Izzy looked at his Digimon and gave him a thumbs up.
"Good idea. Let's go!" Izzy announced as he grabbed his jacket and laptop.
When Tentomon appeared out of Izzy's bedroom, his mom jumped. She breathed a sigh of relief though as soon as Izzy walked out of the bedroom, shutting the door behind him.
"Where do you think you're going young man?" Izzy froze on the spot. He turned and faced his mom with a wide, fake grin.
"Uhh….. to the park. Isn't that right Tentomon?"
"But I thou-Oh….. Yes, we're going to the park." Izzy's mom eyed the two for a few seconds longer before returning to washing the dishes.
"You can go. Just be back by ten."
"Deal!" Izzy said as he left his home with Tentomon beside him.
It soared through the night sky, ignoring the trees below. Up ahead, there was more interesting things to destroy. The digimon could feel itself get excited at the thought of destruction and mayhem.
It's four shredded red wings beat up and down as it flew into the night. The clouds split in half while the digimon's hard skull like head broke through the night sky with ease. It roared, letting it's cry echo into the hearts of the Odaiba citizens below.
The digimon grinned, letting the moonlight bounce off of it's sharp and shiny claws. 'It is time for me to disappear into the night' it thought. So with a great flap of it's wings, the creature flew up higher into the sky. Almost no one could see it, for it's dark black skin meld into the night sky.
"TAI!" Kari had tears flowing down her cheeks to no end. Her heart felt like it had broken into a million parts. She loved her brother. She was her idol, her protector, her big brother, her friend. So when he froze up like that and didn't respond to anything, Kari felt scared. She felt scared and lonely.
"How's his condition?" Gatomon asked hopping back into the room after getting a snack from the kitchen. T.K was leaning on the wall, looking sadly at Kari.
"It's not improving." He said blankly, not really thinking about Kari or Tai. It was that Digimon that was still on his mind. It's dark looming shadow in the sky…..
The citizens of Odaiba walked on the streets, going home to a beloved one of theirs. The city lights were still on, but were soon going to be off. While they were still on though, they lit up the city in the night. Cars zoomed on the roads, back and forth, getting from one destination to another.
So when it slinked out of the sky, almost no one noticed it at first. It appeared out of nowhere, it's sleek silver claws glinting in the night. It had a crooked kind of smirk on it's face as it viewed it's prey down below.
It took in a deep breath and bellowed into Odaiba. Everyone looked up, screeched, pointed, and began to ran. Some of the citizens stayed in their cars and looked up at the monstrous wonder in the sky.
Cyberdramon licked his lips. With a flap of his wings, he began to dive down into the city. The cries of the terrified people were getting louder and louder. Cyberdramon could only imagine the glorious music of death as bodies crunched and disintegrated before his mighty power.
Cyberdramon was almost metres/meters away from a screaming lady when he felt something smash the side of his head. The android dragon lost balance and fell back a bit in the mid-air. The digimon cursed and looked to it's side to see a tall boy and a seal digimon by his side.
"It's you! You're a Digidestined that the master told me to watch out for!" Cyberdramon yelled. The blue hair boy nodded.
"That's right. And we won't let you terrorize our city. Right Ikkakumon?"
"Right Joe!"
"Hey Joe! Ikkakumon!!" All three beings looked up into the sky. Riding atop of a giant flying blue insect was a red haired boy. Joe smiled.
"Hey Izzy! Glad to see you!"
"You too Joe!" Cyberdramon growled. He had enough of this crap talk.
"Ah! You weaklings think you can defeat me?"
"We don't think, we know." Izzy said from above. Cyberdramon growled again.
"Then Bring It On!" The Digidestined nodded at each other before giving the okay to their digimon. Ikkakumon bent his head forward while Kabuterimon readied his attack. All the while, Cyberdramon had his back towards them, but he grinned anyways.
'They think they are so strong.'
"Harpoon Torpedo!"
"Electro Shocker!" The two attacks were headed straight for Cyberdramon. When the attacks were inches from Cyberdramon, the giant android dragon kicked himself up into the air. The attacks collided below causing an explosion of light.
The dragon digimon flew up higher, towards where Kabuterimon was. The giant insect stood still in the air, with Izzy clinging onto his back.
The dragon digimon held his arm back, energy growing at his fingertips.
"Erase Claw!" Cyberdramon brought his claw down. Kabuterimon dodged to the left, leaving Cyberdramon to attack thin air. He stumbled forward in the air, leaving Kabuterimon a free attack. He took the chance and landed a kick to Cyberdramon's side.
The dragon digimon flinched. He could tell Kabuterimon was coming towards him. So when he got near, the dragon digimon threw his arms to his sides, one of them catching Kabuterimon in the face.
"Kabuterimon!" Izzy shouted. The champion digimon fell back in the sky, accidentally letting Izzy fall off of his back.
"Quick Ikkakumon!"
"I'm on it!" Ikkakumon yelled as he thundered down the streets. He looked up to see the falling Digidestined descending faster and faster. Ikkakumon increased his pace, but he knew he wouldn't make it.
"I know you can do it Ikkakumon! But hurry!" Joe yelled. He held his digivice into the air, as it shone with light.
"Ikkakumon! Digivolve to….. Zudomon!"
The giant digimon raised his right paw out, catching Izzy in his palm. Zudomon slowed to a stop and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was a close one. Are you alright Izzy?"
"I've been better." The red headed Digidestined looked back up into the sky to see the two digimon still ripping at each other. "But right now, Kabuterimon needs my help!"
Up in the sky, Kabuterimon headbutted Cyberdramon in the stomach, not even leaving a dent.
"I'll lend a hand!" Izzy shouted as he held up his glowing digivice.
"Kabuterimon! Digivolve to….. MegaKabuterimon!"
Cyberdramon gawked at the giant red beetle in shock. Two ultimates were out to get them, along with their partners. 'They've only made me flinch….. Those weaklings.' MegaKabuterimon flew at him, his horn aiming straight for the dragon's chest. Cyberdramon stood proudly in mid-air, awaiting his 'fate'.
"Horn Buster!" MegaKabuterimon yelled. A split second before the horn was about to hit the dragon ultimate, Cyberdramon moved to the side. Although, he was a little too slow. Seeing as seconds later, he saw a long gash on his chest, dripping blood.
The dragon ultimate scooped up a drip of blood with his claw and licked it. He growled and threw his arm to the side in anger. "You disgust me." He said. MegaKabuterimon hovered in the air.
"Oh do I? You want some more of this?" Cyberdramon grinned and laughed a dark, emotionless laugh.
"Certainly, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into." The ultimate digimon did a kick in the air, pushing himself forward. His outstretched red wings made him look menacing as he opened his jaws. His pulled him arm behind him, his claws glowing a bright yellow. MegaKabuterimon hovered in mid-air, holding his arms out in front of him.
"Cyber Nail!" MegaKabuterimon had his move in mind. He flipped into the air above Cyberdramon as he failed yet again with his attack. The giant red insect digimon grabbed the ultimate by his tail. Using all of his might, Izzy's digimon flung the dragon around and around in the air. He eventually let go of Cyberdramon, who was headed for a crash course with some nearby buildings.
"Oops."
"MEGAKABUTERIMON!"
"Sorry Izzy. Didn't see were I was throwing."
Joe looked as the what seemed to be an unconscious falling digimon. Zudomon walked back towards Joe, put down Izzy, and looked back up into the sky. It was like a falling comet, except without the beauty.
"I'll get him Joe!" the giant blue ultimate announced.
Zudomon waited until the giant dragon digimon got closer before lifting his hammer behind him. Closer….. closer…… thought the ultimate. And soon, the digimon got it's wish.
"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" With a loud whoosh in the air, the hammer descended on the falling dragon. It smashed the dragon's side. Cyberdramon felt it nail him and he groaned. The ultimate landed on the street, in the opposite direction of which he was falling. He felt his body skid along the bumpy surface of the road, scratching him and creating bruises and cuts on his side.
As soon as the forest began, Cyberdramon came to a screeching halt. He tried to lift his head, but it soon fell back onto the pavement. The ultimate breathed heavily as it felt the pain in his body worsen.
MegaKabuterimon flew down beside the fallen ultimate; his friends meeting him at the same spot.
"Good job MegaKabuterimon!" Izzy said giving his digimon the thumbs up. MegaKabuterimon gave his partner the thumbs up back.
"You too Zudomon" Joe commented.
"It was nothing, really." The giant beast said. With a sudden bright flash of light, the two digimon de-digivolved to their rookie forms, Gomamon and Tentomon.
Slowly, they approached the fallen Cyberdramon. He had a couple of scratches to his side, lots of bruises, and that long gash on it's chest was oozing with blood.
Joe stepped forward, his face wearing a serious frown. "I guess you'll never learn after all of those failed attempts." Cyberdramon let out a weak stubborn laugh.
"I guess I won't learn. And neither will you Digidestined."
Izzy stepped up beside Joe, looking down at the same thing he was looking at. Gomamon and Tentomon both went up behind their partners, looking ahead at the enemy. Gomamon couldn't help but smirk at his accomplishment.
"Why are you here? What's your purpose?" Izzy asked. The dragon digimon moaned.
"You'll find out….. It is all part of the plan."
"What plan?" Cyberdramon coughed and groaned again, the pain becoming overwhelming.
"You will see. When time has passed, you will see. And you will fail. You will never succeed you Digidestined scum!" With his last words, Cyberdramon disintegrated into data. Izzy and Joe blinked before looking at each other. The two grinned and shook each other's hands.
"Nice to see you again Joe."
"You too Izzy." The red headed sighed. Lower to the ground, Tentomon and Gomamon greeted each other.
"Hello Goma-Gomamon?" He was nowhere in sight. The red beetle digimon scratched his head when he felt a light tapping on his shoulder. He turned around and came face to face with a red faced monster.
"AHH!!!!!!!!!!!" The rookie jumped and hid behind Izzy's legs. A white paw went up to the face and took off the mask, revealing Gomamon with a huge grin on his face.
"Did I scare ya?" Tentomon shivered like a bowl of gelatin behind Izzy's legs. The two Digidestined laughed.
"Ah….. Well, I guess I haven't spoken to you in a while." Joe said in a calm voice.
"Me neither. I've been busy lately typing up programs and such."
"Ah yes….." There was an eerie silence between the two, until the wind began to pick up. Joe sighed. The red headed Digidestined blinked.
"You know, I could have thought that Tai would have been here."
"Yeah"
"I mean, He's usually the one to see things first, especially battles….. You know what I mean."
"Yeah, I get your point Izzy. But I share the same thought with you. Where is he?" The two of them looked towards the apartment buildings in the distance.
"I should be getting home."
"Me too." Joe said.
"I'll contact the others."
"Same here. I'll call up Mimi, Sora, and T.K."
"Alright. Fine then, I'll get Tai, Kari, and Matt." Joe sighed and looked down. He turned on his heel and began to walk the opposite direction of where Izzy stood, looking at the night sky. Gomamon followed closely behind his Digidestined partner.
"Was nice meeting you again. Bye Izzy." Izzy nodded. With Tentomon hovering over his shoulder, the Digidestined red head and his beetle digimon left their ways.
"You too. Goodnight Joe."
They left the site, with a long dent in the road.
"Well, this isn't going anywhere." Gatomon looked up at T.K. He had his arms crossed and was leaning against the doorway frame.
"Hmm….. I can't help it. Poor Kari looks like she's scared half to death."
T.K looked silently on at the crying girl in front of her brother. She seemed like a lost, lonely, confused, child….. with a tantrum. She wanted something to happen, to make everything okay. But her miracle wouldn't come true, because Tai was still a mute, staring thing. It frightened her. It frightened him.
There sat the fearless leader of the Digidestined, staring at the floor with hollow pupils. No one could understand what was happening. But whatever it was, Kari was trying to get through to her brother. Each time, a successful failure.
As Kari was about to yell something again, there came a sound. Everybody in the room looked at the bedroom door to hear a door slamming outside of the room.
"Kids! We're home!" Gatomon, Kari, and T.K. looked at each other, then back to the door. Kari used her sleeve and arm to try and wipe away the tears that were on her cheeks.
"Hi!" T.K called out. Kari was still wiping her tears when her parents came into the room. T.K had moved inwards and sat on the bottom bunk. Gatomon sat on the floor, licking her paw. The Kamiya parents looked worried though as they saw their daughter and their son. It looked like she had been crying.
"Kari, is everything okay here?" Mr.Kamiya asked.
"Y-yes." Kari mentioned, still a little shaken up. Mr.Kamiya then looked at his son. He seemed to look a little spaced out. Mrs. Kamiya shook her head. 'Everything is okay', she thought
"Would you kids like some late night supper?" she asked in a calm voice.
"Sure mom. Please" Kari responded quietly.
"That'd be great Mrs.Kamiya. Thanks!"
"Doesn't matter to me."
Mrs.Kamiya looked around the room, only one person hadn't answered yet. He was staring at the ground, at the floor. At what? She didn't know.
"Tai? How about you? Would you like some supper?" Everyone sadly glanced over to the brown haired boy. To their surprise, he was lifting his head up to meet the gaze of his mother's eyes. His pupils shrank, then became larger again. The colour/color that was once missing returned to them. Kari and T.K's eyes widened in surprised. Tai's eyes were no longer hollow or empty.
"Yes mom" Tai responded with a soft voice. Mrs.Kamiya nodded, relieved that nothing was wrong with any of her siblings. She waved her hand to the room's content and grinned.
"I guess I'll go and make your late night supper. If you need
anything T.K., just ask." With that, the Kamiya parents left the room, leaving
T.K., Kari, and Gatomon to wonder….. Just what happened back there? All the
while, Tai was looking at the door, blinking and scratching his head.
So...... Chapter 2 ends off here. Well, I guess you'll have to tune in next time for the next chapter. Anyways, so far, I guess I don't feel like writing Falling Heavens at the moment. I want to write Unwell Identity and some fanfic I started a looong time ago. Next up to work on after those would be Capturing in a New Domain and Preserving the Future, seeing as most people want me to finish those. Well, other than me watching my old tapes of Sonic and watching some Season 3 Reboot, I don't seem to busy (yeah right!). Despite my busy schedule, I'll try to do as much writing as I can. Anyways, Keep on writing!
