Round one (Taichi's pov)
I looked up at the ceiling, the pain in my head had subsided and I was able to move it without causing any further pain. I sat up stiffly, moving like a robot rolling on my side with a groan. Was it just me or was I being bombarded by lady-bad-luck this week? I grabbed the edge of the desk to pull myself up, I groaned.
That's the last time I ever sit that chair. There was medium sound of a bell ringing behind me, I turned around and finding no one in front of me, I looked down no sooner than I turned discovering Miko in a graceful sitting pose staring up at me curiously cocking his head. I smilled kneeling down, Miko came trodding up to me with meow in question probably wondering what I was doing on the ground if he was there that long.
"Hey, Miko," I chirped patting him. Miko rubbed/sented my hand staring to purr again. I chuckled at his excited meows as he began to walk around me. Miko rubbed my knee and meowed again. "He must be outa food again," I muttered to myself picking the cat up. I placed my hand under Miko's rabbit like feet heading out of the room.
Miko's rested against my back while his arms were wrapped around my wrist while his small head turned from side-to-side watching the hallway's pass us, Miko acted like he was in a car or somethin', I smiled, letting him down once we reached the livingroom, Miko lead me to his food and water bowl, I looked down discovering a snow-white cat chowing down on his food.
This was unexpected, finding the next door neighbors white cat inside the our apartment. Miko really didn't like the cat, I forgot his name, but the way my cat's hair began to puff was enough to tell he didn't like him or her, whatever genre the cat was. "Uhh, excuse me snow-white, your in the wrong house," I told it. The white cat looked up at me then at Miko, and resumed eating.
I sweatdropped; another stubborn cat, I wonder how come Miko doesn't like him or her? I sighed bending over, the cat mewed in surprise then looked up at with it's cyrstal blue eyes that broke my heart; they must not be feeding this cat, I thought as I headed for the door. The white cat meowed licking my face, which got Miko a bit miffed. "Stop trying to butter me up," I chided sitting it on the floor in front of the open door.
I ushered the cat out of the apartment, handing it a handful of Miko's food. The white cat licked my face, before turning her attention to the food. I turned to Miko who's fur was puffy and his teeth were showing slightly, I sighed coming over to him. "Aw, come on Miko, snow white was hungry," I said, while Miko glared at the door. "I had to give her something to eat." I gave Miko a warm smile before he turned on his... er... heel and left.
I sighed heading for the kitchen, Miko would probably be mad at me for sometime, before he would understand that I have a soft spot for hungry animals. I glanced behind me momentarily seeing my mother come through the front door with "Real" food in the shopping bags, realizing she had gone shopping. I sighed, as she came at a quick pace around the couch and into the kitchen. "Ohio, Taichi," She said.
"Hi Mom," I replied scratching the tip of my nose. My mother began to take a bunch of vegetables and caned-foods out of the bags, while I searched for something good amongst them, like TV-dinners or something. I soon turned my attention to the fridge, grabbing the handle I opened the door peering into the small space once more to see if there was anything left, and I all I saw was my mothers fungus-cookies, and tofu!
I sighed. "Mom," I called looking over the fridge door. My mother made a small "Hmm?" As an indication that she was listening. "CanI make a complaint?" I wondered. "Mmm-Hmmm," She replied. I sighed, I should really talk to her more often, maybe I'll get words out of her instead of sounds of the throat.
I breathed out a small portion of nervousness looking into the fridge once more before I gazed upon a carton of eggs, I can't believe I missed those! Shrugging, looked over the door once more at my mother who was still taking things out of the plastic shopping bags. "Well, Kari's eating birthday cake right now and all we have is tofu," I said, beginning to hope that she would pull out something yummy from the shopping bag.
"I can bake you a cake Tai. Hand me a please," She said. I swore my stomach began to disagree with my mother mentioning backing a cake. "No!" I groaned, closing my eyes. "I wanted to use up the rest of the wheat germ anyway," Mom repiled when the door bell rang. "You answer that door and I'll start on that cake," She said, ever so excited to bake one.
I nodded grabbing an egg, and shutting the fridge-door, as I walked pass her. I rushed over to the door, once I heard the certain someone beginning to pounding against it. I quickly unlocked the door, and no sooner than I did so, it opened revealing a sweaty out of breath Izzy, I held the egg firmly (not too firmly) between my index finger and thumb as the red-head fought to catch his breath. "Izzy your all sweaty, what's wrong?" I asked.
Izzy panted some more before answering. "Well, it's about the egg," He said.
My eyes widened in surprise. The egg? "Oh?" I voiced.
"The egg has already hatched," Izzy said, sounding a little less winded.
"Ohh," I groaned my head turning toward the sphere shaped object, thinking he was talking about the egg in my hand. My mother had bought chicken eggs with babies inside them??
Izzy's expressioned turned into an overly annoyed one. "Aw, not that egg!" He exclaimed angrily.
"OH!" I sighed, my stomach feeling a little better after his corrected me. "A digi-egg!" Izzy snapped. Now he had my attention.
_____________________________________________________
Izzy had explained to me, how his Digimon analyzer didn't recognize this Digimon that looked like a cross between a conact-lens jellyfish, and how he met this kid on the net named Willis who explained everything to him before he explained it to me of course.
When the jellyfish digivoled it began to eat enormous amounts of all this computer data and this immediately spelled danger for our world or just all the Internet users anyway, I was a little too busy hoping it didn't eat my E-mail I sent to Sora before she read it, as we charged out of my room toward the computer room, Izzy to a short intermission to gulp down some of my mom's tomato-shake before joining me in the other room.
Shortly after setting up Izzy's laptop with our computer, the Digimon had already digivoled to it's rookie level that went by the name of Keramon. Gennai sent a message that warned us several minutes too late on the matter at hand and sent, Tentomon and Agumon into the Internet. I tried calling all my friends, but all were occupied, Mimi wasn't home and Sora didn't wanna talk to be, because she was still angry over a lousy hair clip/pen! Could things get any worse?
__________________________________________
"Your gonna need a password," I told Tentomon and Agumon as they traveled through tunnels of the net. It was nice to see my digimon-pal, even if it was under saving the world circumstances. Agumon nodded as Izzy came beside me, and began typing in a screen name and a hidden password. "You can use mine to get on the Internet, Prodigious!" He said pushing the enter button. They came out of the tunnel once the password was accepted, "They're in!" I cried, scanning the computer screen looking around for that bigheaded Keramon. I spotted him below our digimon chomping down on some more computer data. "There is you guys go get him!" Izzy said, in a commanding voice.
Tentomon attacked Keramon with his super-shocker, Agumon backed him up with his peper-breath. The digimon was hit right on the mark, a new window popped up showing Keramon looking as if he was having a seizure, I smirked widely before noticing he didn't combust into digi-dust. The window vanished and I gazed upon Keramon who turned with emotionless look on his face, there wasn't a scratch on him! "That should have worked, but it didn't," I said still wearing my "fearless leader" expression, when another window appeared. I was fairly surprised by who was sending it, as well as Izzy. "Hey, Keramon's sending us a E-mail; It says: 'so you like to play games huh?' I've got a bad feeling about this Agumon," I said worriedly.
"Hmm-mm," Agumon agreed flying up beside Tentomon. Izzy grabbed his digivice from the side of his pants holding it up to the screen as it began to vibrate again. "You better digiviole. Both of you, now!" He said looking down at his laptop keyboard, while I held my vibrating digivice up as well.
"Agumon digivole to.... Greymon," I couldn't help but smile at the larger form of Agumon.
"Tentomon digivole to... Kabuterimon,"
Our digivices ceased their vibrating, and Greymon and Kabuterimon appeared from the light, getting down to business. I watched them land on the side of the walls, the two digimon pushed themselves from it with enough momentum to go after the escaping Keramon.
My palms were beginning to form sweat as Keramon turned to face the two flying champions. "Bug blaster!" It opened it's mouth and fired two sphere shaped blasts of energy. Greymon and Kabuterimon dodged it with ease and attacked. "Electro-shocker!" Kabuterimon fried his ball of surging electricity. The evil digimon continued to flee managing to not to hit by Izzy's digimon's attack. "Nova blast!" Flames formed in Greymon's mouth and he fired his ball of surging inferno and it hit Keramon.
I smirked at the smug look on Greymon's face, they taught that bug a lesson he wouldn't forget. "You guys make this stuff look easy!" I cheered, until Izzy's eyes widened in surprise. "Uh, hold that thought," He said quickly. A light formed amongst the smoke, and I knew that could only mean one thing. The window appeared, and the image of Keramon began to spin and fade out.
"Keramon digivole to... Infermon." A spider-like brown and white digimon, with a several horns appeared amongst the smoke, it turned it's head glaring at Greymon and Kabuterimon. I almost choked on my own spit, when I saw what had happened, Graymom and Kabuterimon took flight once more as I regain the power to speak. "No, way he's digivoled again!" I cried grabbing the sides of the computer. Izzy stared at the window that showed the level our digimon and the formerly known Keramon now Infermon were on. "W've never seen this before, now he's at the champion level like Greymon and Kabuterimon!" Izzy gasped. I felt my heart skip a beat, and the smell of victory was becoming more and more distant. This wasn't good at all.
Infermon leaped from his present area and bounced onto the wall, moving again. Greymon and Kabuterimon attacked him again, Greymon's nova blast hit the side of the wall, while Kabuterimon's electro-shocker hit him right on the mark again. "Yeah!" Greymon chimed, followed by Kabuterimon's "All right!" When Infermon emerged from the smoke of from their attacks. His legs and head retracted into his body, giving him the appearance of a torpedo! They attacked him again but, the blast deflected off his body as if he had put up an invisible shield of some kind, the two flipped out of his way, and the spider-like digimon landed on the wall behind them. Greymon scowled, if that was possible staring at the large digimon.
"He's stronger than a champion!" Greymon exclaimed. I stiffened in horror, this wasn't good at all. Infermon's head popped out from his body, turning toward Kabuterimon and Greymon. "Spider-shooter!" Infermon fired at them, our digimon dodged them first two shots, but Kabuterimon was hit moving the wrong way. Greymon's head snapped in the insect-digimon's direction almost in total shock.
"Kabuterimon--- wah!" Greymon was hit, and I thought my heart had been ripped out. "Greymon, no!" I cried, over Infermon's chuckling. Izzy's elbow nudged me, I ididn't take notice of it and continued to watch Greymon. "I think I got it figured out now," He said. I turned to him in hopes that he had found a way to destroy the virus infected digimon.
"He's bypassed the champion level and digivoled straight into the ultimate level! He's too strong for out digimon!" I glowered at the creature that hovered, a few inches away from our digimon as they regained their posture ready to resume their battle. "Then they're just gonna have to digivole again!" Infermon's head shot up in possible surprise or shock when the words left my mouth. My digivice began to change from it's icey-blue color to the orange color of my crest, Izzy's digivice did the same.
Infermon took flight once more toward our digivoling partners. "Not so fast," He spoke up. "Greymon digivole to.... Metalgreymon." I soon realized that their digivoling process was slower than usual, it was beyond weird to me, when Izzy gasped. "You've have to digivole faster!" His words came too late, Infermon had already begun to fire at Mega-kabuterimon, then at Metalgreymon. They were engulfed by the smoke of the digimon's attacks. Infermon laughed maniacally, creating himself an exit and crawled down the hole without further notice, not that he would give us one.
"Agumon, say something!" I said with tears brimming in my eyes, once I knew he was alive. Agumon turned to me with a weary look upon his face floating around the net. "Don't take me out coach," He said. Izzy had the exact same look on his face as I did, minus the tears. "Tentomon!" He cried. Tento (I fondly nicknamed him), appeared from the smoke standing looking unharmed like Agumon, I couldn't tell if he was in pain or not. "I'm fine, just one question; who's Tentomon?" He said, sounding dazed out of his mind.
"They'll be okay Tai, they just need to rest for a while," Izzy informed me calmly. My grip loosened on the computer and I slumped to the ground, I pounded my fist against my leg. "I can't be the two digimon at the champion level weren't enough!" I cried. "W'e're never gonna defeat this thing!" Izzy happened to be ignoring me at that time, because he didn't reply to my cries.
"Hey Tai, check this out, we're getting E-mail's from all over the world!" He exclaimed. "He's one from that kid Willis in America. It says; "Izzy this is all my fault find a way to slow him down'. hmm." Izzy's excited expression soon turned into a confused one. My eyebrows furrowed repeating the quote in my head. "What does he mean, 'his fault'?" I asked.
"I don't know," Izzy said shotly tapping on his keybaord, when I noticed his shoulders raise in surprise. "Hey, Infermon is e-mailing us too!" I joined him over at his lap-top and started at the window that popped up and opened itself. My brain was soon on the verge of conbusting, Infermon's image was beside all these Hello's. I was totally confused, beyond confused. "Why is he saying "Hello" over and over again?" I scratched my head, before fixing my goggles.
Izzy gasped turning to the computer screen, my eyes sora followed him, I was still trying to figure out why he was saying hello over and over again. "Look at the address!" He cried, getting my attention. I turned toward him with a confused "Huh?" Izzy presed his figure against the screen at the gibberish-like E-mail or web adress above the digimon's E-mail.
"He's at the telephone company taking over allthe phone lines! If we lose our phone connection we'refinished. That's the only way we have access to theInternet!" He exclaimed, beginning to type on his lap-top, once he moved away from the computer. I reached for the phone that laid beside me beginning to call Yamato's house. "I've got to warn everyone!" I muttered.
OPERATOR 1: All circuits are busy. Try again later. I sighed, moving the phone away from my ear. "Oh great. It's busy," I groaned. "Mimi!" I dailed her number.
OPERATOR 1: All circuits are busy. Try again later.
I growled on the verge of picturing the operator, began to dail Joe's number. "C'mon! How can that be busy too?" I placed the phone to ear again, and heard a buy signal. I was fuming with bottled anger, but chose not to let it out. I dailed Sora's number, despite the fact that she angry at me, it had to work this time!
OPERATOR 1: All circuits are still busy.
I sighed. "Don't tell me," I grumbled, getting a feeling of deja vu all over again
OPERATOR 1: Didn't you hear me?!!!
I stammered, trying to get her to hear me out "But...!" She cut me short.
OPERATOR 1: It's busy!
"I'm sorry, lady," I mumbled turning off the phone. I turned to Izzy who was still typing. "All the phones are dead!" I cried with a distraught look on my face.
Izzy's head turned in my direction slightly. "That digimon did it!" He said simply.
"Not a single call can get through!" I said, gripping the phone tightly, when the phone rang. I looked down at it, hoping if I pressed the button one of my friends would be on the line.
*RING*
"Hello, this is Tai," I said calmly and causally holding the phone to my ear.
My heart stopped, when I heard the voice of the caller. "Hello. Did you program me?" Infromon laughed maniacally at his own remark. I moved the phone away fromy ear, as my whole body began to shake, this digimon was crazier than I thought! "It's Infermon," I whispered.
tbc* HAHAHA... cliffhanger. R/R pluz. Sorry it took me so long! Gomen ne! Sakura123~
