CHAPTER 3
The group arrived at the station, which had been repaired after their battle with Lucemon. Koji opened the station door and was the first to walk in.
"Takuya!?" Koji exclaimed, noticing his friend sitting on the bench on the other side of the room.
Takuya turned his back on the group, who had burst in through the door at Koji's revelation, and put one foot up on the bench.
Koji's eyes narrowed in anger. "Fine Takuya, be that way, but the fact of the matter is that we're going to have to work together to beat this thing."
"That's what you think." Takuya said calmly and coolly.
"Takuya, what's wrong with you?" Zoe asked almost angrily.
Takuya ignored her.
The door swung open and two girls appeared in the doorway. The group turned to look, but Takuya ignored them.
"Are you Sao and Lisa?" Kouichi asked.
"What if we are?" The taller girl answered with a question.
The sound of a train whistle outside startled everyone except the two girls, who acted like they expected it at that exact moment.
The group of five Warriors dashed out the door after the girls and Takuya brought up the rear, walking slowly and in his new depressed mood.
The eight boarded DarkTrailmon, who was waiting out on the rails with three cars behind him.
The girls went to the last car and sat there, alone.
Takuya sat alone in the second-to-last car and the others sat in the front car.
A few hours later . . .
The train broke through the barrier to the Real World and arrived in the basement station there.
"Where are we?" Kouichi asked. "Is this really the Real World?"
"Yeah, this is the station where the rest of us got on a Trailmon and first entered the Digital World." Koji answered.
The girls ran up the stairs and into the elevator, the doors closing quickly behind them. Takuya headed for the stairs, climbed up them and entered a waiting elevator. Koji ran after Takuya and jumped into the elevator just before the doors closed.
"Why'd you follow me, Koji?" Takuya asked coldly.
"Listen Takuya, we're a team and if we don't work together, we'll all be destroyed. You've seen only a sliver of the true power of darkness. And if we're destroyed, both worlds are doomed." Koji said.
"I know that, but-"
"There is no 'but'!" Koji snapped, grabbing Takuya's vest collar and shoving him up against the elevator wall. "Either we agree to work as a team from now on, or we just go out an get ourselves killed fighting a battle we can't win alone."
A quiet 'ding' announced their arrival on the main level of the train station. The elevator doors opened to reveal the rest of the group waiting.
"And what do you know about working as a team!?" Takuya snapped back, grabbing Koji's shirt collar and tossing him out into the lobby.
Koji flew back and landed on his back, hard. Takuya bolted out of the elevator and left the train station at a run.
"Takuya, wait!" Zoe yelled, chasing after him.
"Koji, are you okay?" Kouichi asked, kneeling by his fallen brother.
"I think so." Koji said through clenched teeth.
Takuya turned a corner onto the street, still at a run.
Zoe rounded the corner in hot pursuit. "Takuya, please," Zoe begged. "STOP!" Zoe yelled, realizing Takuya was running right into the path of a semi truck.
Takuya looked up and saw the truck. He stopped just as the huge vehicle zipped pass, creating a strong wind that knocked Takuya back. Zoe jogged over to where Takuya was sitting.
"Are you okay?" Zoe asked, concern filling her voice. "What were you doing, you could have been killed." She added angrily, realizing Takuya was fine.
Takuya stood up and turned to go, but Zoe grabbed his arm, stopping him.
Takuya was surprised at the strength of her grip. "Let go Zoe."
"No." Zoe said sternly.
Takuya shook his arm free and took off. Zoe didn't follow, she just watched him go with a hurt and confused look on her face.
'Takuya, what's wrong with you?' Zoe thought to herself.
The front door of the Kanbara house opened and closed.
"Takuya?" Takuya's mom asked from the kitchen. She entered the hall where Takuya was taking his shoes off. "Where have you been? You missed your little brother's birthday!"
"I know, and I'm really sorry about that."
"Well it doesn't matter if you're sorry or not, the fact of the matter is that you left and you were gone a lot longer than you should have been and you knew it." Takuya's mom snapped.
"I kinda had to be somewhere and I didn't have any control over the situation." Takuya muttered.
"Well I disagree. You're grounded until further notice. No TV, no computer, no games, no friends, no going anywhere except school."
Takuya groaned and walked past his mother, towards his room.
"And take off your hat when you're in the house!" Takuya's mom added before Takuya closed his room door.
Takuya took off his hat and goggles and put them on his bedpost. He then dropped backwards onto his bed and let his legs dangle over the edge. Takuya pulled his D-Tector out of his pocket and held it above him, turning it over and over and examining it. 'I wonder . . .' Takuya sat up and held his D-Tector up in the air.
Just as he was about to speak, his room door opened a crack.
"Takuya?" Shinya, Takuya's little brother asked.
Takuya quickly shoved the D-Tector behind his back. "What is it Shinya?" He asked with a nervous sweat-drop.
"Where were you? You missed the cake and ice cream and you missed seeing all the cool stuff I got." Shinya said, coming into the room.
"That's nice." Takuya said sarcastically.
Shinya looked down at the ground, obviously disappointed. "Alright, I'll go then."
"Shinya, wait." Takuya said suddenly, stopping his little brother in his tracks.
"What?" Shinya asked, turning back to face his brother.
"I'm really sorry I missed your birthday celebration." Takuya said, standing up. "Want to show me what you got?"
Shinya smiled. "Sure!"
Takuya followed his little brother, leaving his D-Tector laying on his bed without even realizing it.
"Takuya, what is this?" Takuya's mom asked, entering the living room holding Takuya's D-Tector in her hand.
Takuya looked up from the new game Shinya was playing. When he saw the D-Tector he gasped. "Where-Where'd you get that?!" Takuya stuttered.
"It was laying on your bed, honestly Takuya, you need to stop spending your allowance on junk like this-"
Takuya jumped up and snatched the D-Tector out of his mother's hand.
Shinya looked up from his game. "Wow Takuya, what a cool toy! Where'd you get it?"
"Um, I um . . ." Takuya tried to come up with an answer.
"Never mind where you got it, because you aren't allowed to use it. You're grounded, remember?" Takuya's mom reminded, taking the D-Tector back from Takuya.
"But mom, you really can't take that." Takuya argued.
"And why not?"
"It's um-"
"Awe c'mon mom, let Takuya have at least one toy." Shinya said.
Takuya looked at his brother with astonishment.
"Well, alright Shinya." Takuya's mom said. She turned back to Takuya. "You should consider yourself lucky Takuya, that you have such a nice little brother." She handed Takuya back his D-Tector.
Takuya took it and gratefully looked back at Shinya, who winked. Their mom sighed and went back to the kitchen.
Takuya put his D-Tector in his pocket and sat down next to Shinya. "Thanks Shinya."
"No problem." Shinya answered. "So what is it?"
"It's, uh, nothing." Takuya answered.
"Sure it is." Shinya said sarcastically, returning to his game.
