Disclaimer: I don't own digimon. Or any of the swords of the ancients(well at least I don't own the rights, I physically own two
of them) Kit Krae is the creator of the swords and a wonderful artist with them, they are just soo detailed and look soo cool
and each sword has its own little story about it, a must for any sword collector.
Tai and Gennai were on their way back to Gennai's home, not knowing that the others were
anxiously awaiting their arrival. The return journey was completely in silence, Tai brooding over
what the 'prophesy' had said, or whatever it was. Agumon was worried about Tai and gave him
nervous glances during the trip and Gennai wasn't paying attention to either of them becuase he was also contemplating the
prophesy. 'Hmmm the Swords of the Ancients, I think I remember the Luciendar, the sword of light, but I don't recall the
others; Kilgorin, Elexorien, Valermos, Anathros, Morthoseth, Cinthorc, and Molotoch. Hmm I'll research this and the
whereabouts of the Luciendar, the sword that will possibly hold a cure for Tai.' suddenly realizing that Tai does not know
about the virus that now spreads through his arm and digivice. 'Maybe it's for the best' he thought to himself, 'Tai already has a lot on his mind I'll bring it up with Piximon, he'll know what to do...at least, I hope'.
At Gennai's home, the DD's were waiting for Gennai to arrive when they heard an alarm like sound go off in the house, so
naturally, they had to check it out. It was already nightfall in the digital world and pretty dark in the house so they warily made
their way to the room that the sound was coming from. They were relieved when they found out that it was only Gennai's
computer, but less than so when they learned what was causing it to go off like that. An unknown digimon was attacking the
Koromon village on Server, so the Digidestined all went to stop this Digimon from destroying the village hoping that Tai will be
back when they get back...
Aboard the mech type Digimon (I still don't know what its name is!) Gennai had just informed Tai about the Digimon attacking
the Koromon village as they had turned toward the coordinates of the attack. (Gennai's computer sent a message to his mech
while they were flying back.) Tai was still silently thinking, about what Gennai said about his 'new' digivice and about the
prophesy. "Tai? Are you alright?" Agumon asked as his partner just stared off into space. "I'm fine Agumon." he answered, the
only words that he'd said since they left the temple.
The Digidestined arrived in just in time to see none other than Skullgreymon destroying the last of the village. "No, it can't
be..?" Davis started but was interrupted by Kari "NO!! Don't even think that! It can't be Tai! It just can't!!!he'd never do
anything like this!!" she yelled "hey," T.K. said putting a hand on her shoulder, "we all know that it isn't him... right guys?" he
smiled
as he got a chorus of agreements from the other digidestined. "Ya see? Now lets go kick its butt!" Kari smiled at him as the
others started digivolving their digimon. Soon, MetalGarurumon, Paildramon, Halsemon, Angewomon, Angemon, Digmon,
Garudamon, Zudomon, Mega Kabuterimon, and Lilymon rushed into the fight. An enraged Skullgreymon punched out with his
arm immediately taking Lilymon and halsemon out of the fight. Their respective partners ran towards them as the fighting raged
on, Skullgreymon taking out Digmon and Zudomon next. The remaining Digimon fired their attacks as Paildramon mega
digivolved to Imperialdramon who then switched to fighter mode as he reentered the battle only to find that Angewomon and
MetalGarurumon were the only ones left to assist him. Angewomon fired a celestial arrow at Skullgreymon, getting his attention
as he blocked the attack, charging at her there was suddenly a large explosion as Metalgarurumon's attack went off, freezing
Skullgreymon in his tracks as Imperialdramon charged up his attack and let it fly yelling "Positron Laser!!" the beam of energy
hitting Skullgreymon and shattering the ice and the digimon into millions of pieces which broke up into data. "Well at least that's
over.." Matt sighed as his digimon transformed into his rookie stage. The other DD's agreed as them and their digimon
searched for any survivers in the village, they found none. After the fires went out, they decided to stay there waiting for their
digimon to recover. They didn't expect to see who came next...
"HELLO EVERYONE!!" Gennai called from atop his mech as it landed on the ground near the DD's camp. "I see that you've
taken care of the digimon..." he stopped, puzzled by the DD's saddened expressions, Joe was the first to speak up "all of the
Koromon were deleted." he said " we arrived too late to help any of them..." Matt continued. "Who did this..?" Agumon said,
completely horror struck by the destruction of the village. "It was a Skullgreymon." Sora said, just noticing Agumon now that
he spoke up. "Where's Tai?" Kari asked, beating Sora to it. "Right here." Tai said quietly, stepping out from behind the mech.
"TAI!!" Kari yelled as she ran up to hug her brother. The other digidestined ran up to meet him to, this only annoyed Tai for
reasons unknown to him, he just wanted to be alone. The DD's were hounding him with questions like "how do you feel?" and
other stuff like that. The DD's calmed down soon after, teling Tai about the party that they were going to throw for him but
because of the Skullgreymon incident, they were forced to stay the night in the digiworld, and Tai telling them about the room
discovered by Centaurumon, only about the first room, Tai didn't mention anythingof the second one, or of the mysterious
voice or his crest on the wall, he just gave them a short explanation about why he and Gennai had been gone. As soon as he
was done, he walked off without another word and went to find a suitable place away from the other DD's to rest and think
about what had happened that day...
The DD's were confused by Tai's behavior and sudden coldness to them, a few of them wanted to go to Tai and see what was
wrong, but Gennai warned them against it, his only explanation being that Tai had a rough day. Izzy and Gennai went to
Gennai's mech to talk in private...
"Gennai?" Izzy called. "We couldn't find any information about that Skullgreymon, even your computer had no information on
it, what could've done that to it?" he asked. "I do not know, a digimon of considerable power, no doubt." Gennai replied
starting up his mech. "Could it have been Daemon?" Izzy asked. "It's possible." Gennai said before taking off to go to his
home. Izzy went back to the group to explain what Gennai had said about the Skullgreymon's unusual data...
"Agumon...I don't get it..." Tai said as they laid against a nearly felled tree. "What don't you get, Tai?" Agumon asked. "We've
saved both worlds, more times than I can count, we're the 'great' leaders of the digidestined, but what do we get? Some old
writings on a wall saying I'm going to die for this place? Pffbt." Tai complained. "That's not true Tai." Agumon argued "we've
made so many friends, saved a lot of lives, we've gotten a lot of things." "That's not what I mean!" Tai snapped. "I-I'm sorry, I
don't know why I'm so angry about this..." Tai apologized. "It's Sora, isn't it?"Agumon asked. "I-I don't know anymore
Agumon, ever since I got that injury, I've been feeling completely different, I get angry a lot easier, every time I get angry I
feel... something...welling up inside of me, making me feel like im going to burst, why is this happening to me?!" he asked to
noone in particular. Agumon had no answer for this as he watched his partner drift off to sleep...
T.K. and Kari had heard the whole thing. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, they had snuck off to see if Tai was alright and
heard him talking with Agumon. They listened in silence as Tai vented his frustration. They were puzzled when Tai mentioned
the prophesy and decided to ask him about it later as he and Agumon kept talking. Tai then went to sleep with Agumon
keeping a silent vigil over him as they snuck away, barely making a rustle in the grass...
Where he lay, Tai opened one eye wondering how long his sister and T.K. had been listening. He decided to ask them that the
next time he was with them alone, he closed his eyes and really drifted off to sleep this time, Agumon still watching over him...
THE NEXT DAY
Tai had awoken with a start, smelling breakfast from where he was, even though he was hungry, he didn't eat anything, he took
Agumon with him to walk, not ready to face the others and their no doubt questions about what T.K. and Kari heard. In truth,
they had not told the others and weren't planning on doing so, respecting Tai's privacy, but he didn't know that. So there theywere, walking in silence, not paying any attention as to where they were going, Tai, depressed for some reason unknown to him
and Agumon depressed because he didn't know why Tai was depressed, so they pretty much walked in depression...
"Yes, right into my trap." Datamon said as he watched Tai and Agumon leave the DD's camp. He turned his attention back to
the other DD's, making sure that noone will be able to help them in time. He examined the Koromon that he stole from the
village. "Hmm...soon the tests shall be complete, and Lord Daemon will have an army of Skullgreymon at his command!"
Datamon laughed gleefully as he thought of the rewards he was going to get. He then went back to the center of his base and
'plugged' himself into the systems as he began to build up power for the fight ahead....
The DD's were taken by complete surprise when Datamon and two Skullgreymon attacked, they didn't even have time to
digivolve before they were taken, Datamon let loose his most powerful attack, Data crusher, to immobilize their digimon as he
locked them and their partners up and took them to his base...
Tai heard the explosion and ran back to the camp to find it completely destroyed. He didn't know what to think when he saw
it. So many thoughts whirled through his head at that instant that he collapsed from the pain, grasping his head. Soon, sobs of
guilt wracked his body as he thought of the fate that had befallen his friends, all the while repeating to himself "No...it can't
be..." over and over. Agumon was n't falling for it that easily, knowing that if the others were killed or deleted, he would've felt
it, or at least Gennai would have sent something. Gennai was already tracking the other digidestined and when they stopped
moving, he sent Tai an e-mail immediately :
Tai,
the others have been taken to these coordinates, X:57.032 Y:96.581
And remember, no digivolving Agumon, in the current state of your digivice, it could be dangerous, so be stealthy!!
Gennai
Tai had no time to feel relief as he punched the coordinates into his digivice and watched as it projected a map that showed him
where to goto find his friends...
"Well, well, it looks like your friends are coming for you, but that will not matter, you see I have many Skullgreymons at my
disposal and what does he got? A single digimon. Clearly the odds are in my favor." Datamon gloated to the captured DD's as
he watched Tai come closer and closer to his home.
