The Digi-Slayer
Chapter 17
After the battle with Davis and the extremely powerful ZeroXveemon a few weeks ago, the Digi-destined were feeling extremely low. Tai has been organizing meeting after meeting to discuss strategies on how to defeat Davis. All of the destined have been reduced to tired, weaker versions of themselves, everyone's hope of defeating Davis has greatly diminished, while their doubt has multiplied ten fold.
We find the remaining chosen ones and their digimon in Tai's room, once again discussing plans on beating Davis. No one was talking though, all the energy they once had was gone, depleted from the lack of sleep, the worry, and the thought of being destroyed by one of their own.
"Okay" Tai sighed in a defeated tone "We know that Davis has a new range of powers, maybe we could use them against him, if we-" but before he could finish, Mimi cut in.
"We've been through this before" she protested in anger "Davis is just too strong, maybe we should just let him destroy us, we've nothing against him"
"What" retaliated Tai, his anger flaring up once more "Are you saying we should just lay down and die?"
"Open your eye's Tai" yelled Sora "We have no upper hand in this battle, his power is just too great, and half of us don't even want to fight Davis in the first place"
Tai was speechless, for once in his role as leader, he realized what Sora was saying was true, they had nothing against him, every aspect, every scenario they thought up, he had the upper hand.
Tai sighed in frustration, turned around, and headed towards the door "Meeting adjourned" he stated "You can all go home now" and with Agumon getting up and trailing behind his partner, he walked out of the room and slammed the door.
"Tai's really in over his head on this one" said T.K, his broken arm wrapped in a cast and hanging from a sling "Maybe we should have someone else take over and lead us"
Kari, upon hearing those words, got up from sitting on the bed, walked up to T.K, stared into his eyes with hers full of pain and disgust, and sapped him across the face.
"How can you say that" she shrieked "Tai is the greatest thing this group has ever had, he has put his friends before himself countless times, and in his point of despair, you act like a total jerk and say that he's in over his head and should replaced, treating him like he's just something you use and get another when he's used up, just replace him, your unbelievable T.K, and you call yourself a friend"
T.K was stunned by her words, as they finally sank in, he hung his head in shame "I'm sorry" he apologized "I didn't know what I was saying, your absolutely right, I shouldn't be able to call myself a friend, I-I gotta get some air" and with that he walked out of the room, his head still hanging low.
The others soon departed from Tai's room, leaving it empty and lifeless. Halfway across the city, Tai was walking through the park, the one they had that meeting on fighting Davis, with Agumon, both were enjoying an ice cream cone.
"Mmm, nothing cures the blues like an ice cream" said Agumon happily as he licked his massive cone.
Tai laughed at Agumon's behavior "Haha, your right there buddy" he said as he, like Agumon, licked his frozen dessert.
They decided to sit by the fountain for a few minutes, to let the ice cream digest into their systems.
"Ooh, digital brain freeze" whined Agumon, holding his between his claws.
"Haha, you shouldn't have eaten it so fast" laughed Tai, watching his partner in ice cream related pain.
Suddenly, Tai's Digi-vice went off, as he looked into it, he saw five blips, four red, the one black, coming towards the center of his Digi-vice at a slow speed.
"They must be walking, but why" Tai thought to himself "Why would they openly walk around in the open"
"What is it Tai?" asked the small dinosaur, completely recovered from his pain.
"The others, they're close" answered Tai, not looking up from his little display screen.
As Tai watched the blips come closer, he looked up and found the five people, Davis, Zade, Ken, Michael and Katherine, walking down the concrete walk path, luckily they didn't see him. As he watched, he saw them stop to talk, he was still out of hearing range so he couldn't tell what they were saying. He watched on, as he did, Davis and Zade wrapped an arm around each other and kept talking, suddenly, Ken started talking and the others waved good-bye as he walked off towards the bushes, the others then kept on walking, Davis and Zade broke their embrace and talked to Michael and Katherine more than to each other.
"Tai, they're getting away" alerted Agumon as he watched the four enemies walk away.
"It's alright Agumon" said Tai, his gaze focused on Ken 'They're too strong, but Ken isn't let's go"
Both human and partner got off the bench and followed Ken through the bushes, staying far enough so he wouldn't noticed. After a few minutes of walking through the vegetation of the park, Tai and Agumon discovered Ken walking to a lone seat bench, to the leader's confusion, Ken just sat there, staring out into the surrounding vegetation. Suddenly, Tai heard the rustle of bushes from the other side of the circle. Tai watched on, and as a figure immerged from the bushes, he knew who it was.
"Yolie" he thought to himself in confusion "What's she doing with Ken"
"Glad you could come" Tai heard Ken say to Yolie, luckily he hadn't been seen yet
"Sorry I'm late, it's getting harder and harder to keep meeting you and still think I don't anything about you or Davis" she apologized
"That's alright, I'm just glad you're still able to see me" Ken said, continuing the conversation "So what's happening with the others?"
"Everyone is feeling low and defeated, we can't go on much longer" Said Yolie, Tai was furious that she's been leaking out information to the enemy
"I'm sorry about Davis, I'll have a talk with him, I'll see if he'll stop this pointless fighting" Ken said.
"It's all our fault, we should have never teased him, he was our friend, and we didn't even care about him, I'm so ashamed" cried Yolie, tiny drops of salt water dripping to the ground below
"Shhh, It's alright, you didn't know Davis would turn out like he did" cooed Ken
"But it still doesn't account for all the mean things we've said, and we never told you before" she kept on crying.
"Yes, you did say those things, but it's not like you truly meant them" Ken kept trying to quiet down Yolie, finally, his cooing paid off.
Yolie sat upright again and looked into Ken's eyes "Your right, I've got to stop feeling sorry for myself, we should plan on stopping Davis" Yolie sniffled.
Tai had enough of this act of betrayal, as silently as he could, he left the two to their talking. When he got out of the bushes, he found Kari and Gatomon standing next to Agumon, who had left Tai and went to guard the entrance.
"Kari?" Asked Tai in confusion "What are you doing here?"
"Gatomon and I were discussing a plan on Davis, and we found Agumon here, so we waited until you got back, what were you doing back there any way?" Kari answered, adding a question into her answer
"I found we have a leak in our operation" Said Tai, sounding only slightly annoyed
"What, who?" asked Kari
"Yolie, she's been sharing information with Ken, probably from day one" Said Tai, dropping back down to his normal tone "So anyway, you said you had a plan" "Yeah" sighed Kari "But I'm not sure it will work, if I talk to Davis, I might be able to convince him to come back to us, you know he's had a crush on me since we met, maybe we can use that"
"Good idea" Said Tai "But you heard what he said at the Battle"
*Flash Back*
"Davis please, we don't have to fight" pleaded Kari, hoping he would calm down.
"Don't we, last time I checked, one of you just mauled the person I love, and then you go and say we don't have to fight, well I'm not buying" Snapped Davis, who was standing on top on his partners head.
*End of Flash Back*
Kari sighed, remembering what he said "I know, but he might still have feelings for more, it's just an idea though"
"But a plan none the less" said Tai, slightly perking up "It's worth a shot, let's go home and think it over a bit"
And with that, the two people and their digimon left the park, the sun shrinking behind them.
