1HEY PEOPLE! How you all doing? Here's the next chapter in my fic! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own digimon or the swords of the ancients. Nor do I own the song My Sacrifice, Creed owns that one.
Three cloaked figures walked into the tavern, neither of them saying a word, they went to a table and sat down. "May I help
you?" a Palmon waitress asked. One of the figures shook his head and waved the digmon away as they started a small
conversation amongst themselves. "So..." one of them began. "he has put quite a big price on our heads..." he stated. "Yeah
Shadow, you didn't have to destroy that whole building!" the other whispered harshly. "Hey, you said you needed a
distraction, and they were distracted." the third said, defending himself. "Well you know what we meant." the first one began.
"Yeah, I did, but that was so much fun, you have to agree with me on that one, right Chaos?". "Well..." the one revealed as
Chaos began. "Just shut up about it, both of you, we have more urgent matters to worry about now that we are hunted. Who
knows what might happen, or who just might come looking for us, I say we get our supplies and we move on, that's how its
got to be until this whole thing calms down." the third one said. "Aww come on Drake." The one known as Shadow started
"quit being so uptight, calm down, loosen up, no one is going to find us so long as we don't reveal our selves then we'll be just
fine." "...well I still think that we shouldn't stay in towns any longer than we have to." Drake countered. "Fine but I get to
choose where we go next." Shadow argued, childishly. Chaos just chuckled to himself, in the years that he had come to know
these two, he still gets a kick out of seeing them argue like that, it reminded him of... 'no, I can't think about them, I've got to
forget about them, about her...' he was shaken from his thoughts as a group of rowdy patrons walked in, not even noticing the
trio of hooded travelers, they walked up to the bar and started to order some drinks. The three just ignored them, but when
more people started coming in, they got a little uneasy and decided to leave after about 20 minutes of sitting and drinking a
couple of waters. They had just left the tavern when a dagger flew right at Chaos, nearly hitting him in the face had he not
caught it. He looked around for the attacker and was surprised to see an unusual group of digimon consisting of an Andromon,
a Snimon, and a small, warrior looking digimon who had apparently thrown the dagger. " We are here to collect the bountieson your heads." the Warrior said, drawing a pair of swords. "I'll take the Andromon." Drake said, drawing a his sword. "I've
got the Snimon." Shadow said, taking a stance as if he was going to draw a sword from the end of his staff. "So that that leaves
me and you." Chaos said to the Warrior. Drawing upon the powers of his sword, he ran incredibly fast straight at his opponent,
drawing his sword impossibly fast, he managed to parry all three of the slashes that his opponent offered, even striking back
with a jab of his own, which missed as the warrior jumped back, admiring his opponents skill. "Hmm... very well, I will use my
full strength on you!" he said, as he charged up his energy. Drake ran up to the Andromon, blocking and dodging its electric
blade. He couldn't get close as the Andromon suddenly leaped at him, he jumped out of the way to the left and then swung
his sword at the Andromon, nearly missing its arm as it jumped to the right. "Fine, then I'll improvise!" Drake said as he called
upon the power of his sword. "Earth Strike!" he yelled as he slashed his glowing sword straight ahead and sending a blade of
energy straight at the Andromon, cutting through its blocking arm and sending it to the ground clutching at its missing limb.
Shadow ducked and dodged as the Snimon attacked him, its twin sickle attack tearing through the ground as the digimon
missed again. He assumed a stance and drew a sword out of the end of his staff, he jumped into the air and brought it straight
down into the ground, suddenly, vines entangled a very confused Snimon, as it struggled to get free, he casually walked up to
deliver the finishing blow. Chaos was amazed at the warrior's skill, he might even have to take his cloak of to defeat him, he
noticed that the other two had finished with their fights and were taking their time with finishing their fights. Chaos and the
warrior fought furiously, each swinging swords and parrying with equal skills, Chaos decided. With a roar, he rushed daringly
up at his opponent, slashing with abandon, driving the warrior back, when he took another step back, ready to strike, Chaos
leaped back, throwing off his cloak and landing, sword out before him, staring daggers at his opponent with lifeless brown
eyes, his opponent took a fearful step back, Chaos's piercing gaze boring holes into him, making him feel as if this person in
front of him was looking into his very soul, his brown, spiky hair sticking straight back, he also saw that he wore a chain with a
symbol at the end of it, it was all black and cracked in half. "You must be..." he said but he didn't get to finish his sentence as
Chaos rushed forward, slashing him in two. Drake had sheathed his sword, he didn't need it to finish off the wounded
Andromon, drawing twin daggers instead, he ran up, slashed the Andromon on the chest while stabbing with the other dagger
into its shoulder, letting go of the second dagger, he plunged the first into the Andromon's chest, tore the second dagger out of
its shoulder and stabbed it right in the head, finishing the digimon. Shadow walked confidently up to the Snimon
trapped in the vines, desperately trying to free itself, but to no avail as Shadow closed the distance with a few quick steps and sliced it in half, the long ways. Glancing at each other, the fighting finished, they sheathed their weapons and continued on their way, pausing long enough for Chaos to retrieve his cloak and put it on again, unknown to them, a digimon hiding in the shadows watched as they left, contacting Gennai to report that Taichi Kamiya had been found...
Daemon chuckled "so they have beaten my warriors, no matter, their time is almost up, my new generals are nearing completion..."
The DD's were having a hard time, balancing their own lives and searching for Tai was a difficult thing, anytime that they weren't doing anything, they were in the digital world, searching for clues as to the whereabouts of their fallen leader. Sora, Kari, T.K., Joe, and Cody would search for him one day, and then Matt, Ken, Davis, and Mimi would search the next. They were not having very much luck, He had been missing for 2 and a half months. Kari had told her mother and father that Tai was away In the Digital world on important Digidestined business and would be away for quite some time. Kari and Sora were Hit the hardest by his disappearance, they devoted any time that they weren't helping their parents, going to school, or doing their homework to searching for Tai. The time in the Digital world had slowly become more and more messed up, at first, it had started with it being hours behind the real world, but now it was weeks! They now went back to the digital world after school only to find that it had been a week since they had visited, even though in the real world it had only been less than a day (think of the first season, when they were first sucked into the digital world, how it must've been a couple of months before they all went back to them in the digital world, but in the real world, it had only been a few seconds, but not as extreme as that.) Gennai had told them that it had been six years since Tai had left(according to Digiworld time) and that most of the digimon that he had searching for him were giving up, except for a select few who were saved by Tai personally. The DD's had mixed reactions to this, some of them angry, others understanding, but no even knew that Sora could get so angry "GIVING UP!!?? GIVING UP?!?! WHAT HAPPENED WHEN DEVIMON ATTACKED AND SEPARATED US ON FILE ISLAND?! WHAT HAPPENED WHEN TAI WAS SUCKED BACK INTO THE REAL WORLD?! WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MYOTISMON'S GATE CLOSED?! WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WE FOUGHT THE DARK MASTERS?! OR WHAT ABOUT WHEN WE FOUGHT APOCALYMON?! DID TAI GIVE AT ANY TIME!!!?? NO!! HE WENT ON, NO MATTER WHAT!!!" with that, Sora stormed out of Gennai's house, leaving a very surprised group of Digidestined and Gennai staring at what had just happened.. "I'll go talk to her."Kari said quietly as she walked outside, following Sora. "Wait I'll go with yo- hey" Davis turned around as Matt grabbed his shoulder, wide eyed and fearful look on his face, he just shook his head.
Kari caught up with Sora, she was sitting near a rock in the shade, crying. Kari walked up to her. "Hey Sora." she said in a small, comforting voice. Sora, startled by Kari, quickly wiped the tears away "oh, hey sniff sniffKari." "Sora, I know that your upset about my brother leaving, but you know that the other digimon have their own lives, they can't just be searching for Tai forever, can they?" "Your right Kari," Sora said. "I don't know why I said that, it's just that...well... I miss him Kari..." Sora said, tears streaming down her face. "He's always been there for me-for us and when he need me, I couldn't help him, and now...he's just...gone" Sora stared at the ground in sorrow as Kari walked up to her, hugging her. "It'll be okay Sora...just you wait and see, Tai has never failed us before and he isn't about to start now." Sora could tell by her voice that Kari had started to cry also. "Kari...thank you." Sora said as she and Kari stood there, thinking about their Chocolate eyed leader. 'Taichi...if your out there...please. Come back to me' Sora thought...
Chaos, Shadow, and Drake had made their way back to their camp, supplies carried in sacks on their backs. "So, how'd it go?" called a girl, cloaked as well, as she walked up to them. She smiled at Chaos as he set his supplies down and grunted "im definitely going to be sore in the morning." she giggled as she sat next to him, draping an arm around his shoulder. He smiled as she leaned against him. Welcoming her warmth, he leaned against her also and stared up at the stars thinking of the life he once had. "heh heh, ain't that cute?" shadow remarked as he watched the two youngest members of the group. "Shut up shadow" Drake said. "Hey, you gotta agree with me, they do look like they would make a good couple." and with that, he went to sleep. "Huh, yeah...I know" he said as he stared thoughtfully at the two. He smiled as he too, drifted off to sleep. Chaos just sat there, staring at the stars, lost in thought. 'What am I doing?' he asked himself. 'I love Sora, why am I with Kura?' he looked down at the sleeping form in his arms and suddenly got a warm feeling In his chest. 'Oh' he thought warmly 'that's why, he thought about Sora and remembered when they were almost inseparable and got that same warm feeling. 'Could I be in love with both of them?'. 'Should I even go back to them? It's been six years and ever since then I have been with my new friends. Kura is the only one that I've opened up to, the only one who listens and cares about me, I can't leave her, I won't.' He remembered when he and his friends first met...
Flashback-
Tai was sitting against a tree, staring into space when he saw them, there were three strange human-like digimon battling a monstrous one. Tai thought to ignore them, but the monster had hit the female who had let out a scream as she flew back into a tree. He looked at her, she looked so much like Sora. He ran at the beast, enraged by its actions. He drew his sword and leaped at it. It swung its huge arms at him, knocking him back, but not out of the fight. Tai ran back, jumping over both of the monster's claws and plunged his sword deep into its skull. Then, in its death throws, Tai was thrown over a cliff, and into a river. He was knocked unconscious when he hit his head on a rock, he was only saved by one of his friends, Sosuke, who had used his staff to fish him out. (Ok, the rest of the flashback will be in Tai's POV) I awakened to find that myself laying in a soft blanket. I heard a faint, rhythmic, breathing and looked over to my right, there she was, kneeling right next to, I then realized that she had been watching over me, for how long I couldn't be sure. I groaned as I got up . Then, I stood up to get some water. I must've made to much noise, since she woke up. I stopped and stared back at her, and our eyes met. She had a hurt look on her face, she must have thought that I was leaving. "I'm going to get some water, I'll be right back." She immediately brightened up as she walked over to me and pulled me back to the 'bed' that I had been laying in. "You need to rest." I heard her whisper, as she wrapped me in blankets. "I'll get you some water." she flashed a smile at him that made him lay back down, 'so full of joy and excitement' he thought as he watched her run down to a stream and back with a full cup of water and gave it to me. I smiled as she handed it to me, thanked her, and started to drink it. She smiled back and sat down next to me, humming a soothing song as I drank. I looked at her as she hummed. Sun shining off of her long, dark blue hair. She suddenly stopped singing as she heard a noise, quickly turning her head in the direction of the noise, her hair shifted revealing "fox ears?" I said aloud as she stood up, ready to fight off any evil digimon. She visibly relaxed as two figures walked up to her, greeting her by the name Kura. "Hey Keiga! Sosuke!" she happily replied as they walked over towards me. "I see that our hero has woken up." Sosuke said as he noticed me staring at him. "Shut up, Sosuke." Keiga said as he walked over to me. "Hey, how ya feeling?" he asked me as I stared up at him. "You took quite a spill there, but we're in your debt- "nah, don't worry about it." I said "you guys bandaged me up, so I guess I'll call it even." "Thank you..." Kura said to me. "Well, thank you all for helping me, but, I gotta get going." "Are you traveling alone?" Sosuke asked. "Yeah." I answered. "Well at least travel with us, just until you feel 100. K?" Asked Keiga. "Sure, I guess that'll be okay." I said and I noticed Kura's face brighten up as I said it. I smiled back at her and said "well, where are we going?"... we have been together for six long years, and in all of that time, I look at my reflection in a river, lake, or stream and find that I haven't really aged. Well, that doesn't bother me as much as it should, because lately, I've been thinking about one person...Kura...her smile, her laugh, just ...her in general... why am I thinking such things? Im confused, Im only supposed to feel this way about Sora but...I don't know anymore. This feeling, could it be love? I have to stop thinking about stuff like that, well...Keiga, Sosuke and I are the ones who do all the fighting, Kura cares for us if we get hurt. Sosuke, Keiga and I together make an unbeatable team. We have worked on our swordsmanship together for the past few years and it will only get better, you know, I feel I can finally open my heart again to these digimon that have become my best friends...
End flashback
Tai sighed and smiled as he remembered all of the good times he and his friends had, it's nights like these that I truly live for... He thought as he fell asleep, Kura in his arms and he in hers...
...the DD's were all crowded into Gennai's lab, an emergency meeting was called. Gennai had found information on the swords that could help cure Tai! They waited anxiously for Gennai to start explaining about the swords, and he was waiting for Piximon to get there, as he would need to hear about the swords as well. Piximon finally arrived, grinning at everyone, he said "good morning!" he was met with frustrated looks as he walked in. "Uh heh heh, did I keep you all waiting too long?" Gennai cleared his throat to get their attentions. "Now, the reason why I called you all here is that I have finally found out information about he ancient swords, now...the swords were made in an ancient world. To protect them from unworthy or evil wielders, the last of the Mithrandir, the guardians of the ancient swords, hid them in two dimensions, one in this digital world, and one in the frontier digital world." the DD's were shocked by this revelation. "Another Digital world?" Kari asked, voicing the question on everyone's minds right now. "Yes, another digital world, according to the ancient texts, the swords of Earth, Justice, Shadows, and the Slayer sword were hidden in this world. And since we haven't been able to pick up any energy signatures of the dormant swords, we must assume that they are currently being wielded. By who or what we do not know yet, but we can track them as soon as they use their sword's abilities, and that also means that Daemon can track them also. But we are in luck, we had been tracking one of the swords for quite some time now and I have sent a team of digimon led by Leomon to where we found the energy source, if we're lucky, the wielder hasn't moved too far yet. We have also found out what sword Tai uses, it is called Molotoch, the Slayer sword. It can boosts the user's speed and strength and the user also becomes empowered with rage, it cannot be wielded by a normal human, and that is why Tai was targeted for Daemon's plan, somehow, he knew that Tai would get the slayer sword, so he set him up. Why I do not know, but we must find Tai and keep him out of the digital world at ALL costs." "But why is that?" Izzy asked. Gennai sighed "because, Tai has an infection that is producing massive amounts of dark energy that Daemon is feeding off of, as long as Tai is in the digital world, Daemon will grow stronger. Well, we also have found out about the swords in the other digital world, they are the swords of light, darkness, fire, and war. The main sword that we need is the sword of light, that way, we can purge the virus from Tai's system. When that happens, Tai may return, but only the chosen one to wield the sword of light may use its power." he paused as everyone stared at Kari "What!?" she said causing them to all look back at Gennai. "I will be able to send you to the frontier dimension, but you all must be ready by the end of this month in your world. The barrier between dimensions is weakest at that time so be ready." with that, he dismissed them, motioning for Piximon to follow him. When they were in another room. "We need to get the ship ready to transport them, you will help me get the ship ready, it hasn't been used in hundreds of years so I hope it can still be repaired." he said. "No problem, I'll get the best digimon for the job."Piximon said as they both went down an elevator to the ship...
"Are they ready?" Daemon asked one of his servants. "Not yet sir, they are almost finished, once we finish corrupting their data, the resurrected Dark Masters will be under your control and unstoppable." Daemon chuckled "perhaps I do not need ChaosGreymon after all."Daemon remarked to no one in particular. BlackWargreymon, the wielder of Morthoseth, the sword of shadows, stood there, waiting for his moment to strike Daemon down...
(A/N: this is going to b a song part done to Creed's: My Sacrifice)
After the meeting, Sora went home, everyone else went to get ice cream. Sora just wanted to be alone, memories of her and Tai flooded her mind as she walked home. She remembered all of the times he was with her, all the times that he smiled at her, all the times that he comforted her, and realized something.
Hello my friend we meet again, it's been a while where should we begin?
Feels like forever. Within my heart are memories, of perfect love that you
gave to me. Oh I remember. When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless,
I believe above all the others we'll fly this brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice
Taichi Kamiya! I know that you are the one that threw up in my hat! Sora remembered that birthday when Tai had thrown up in her hat and didn't tell her. She had to wash her hair several times before she could get the smell out of it! She also remembered the birthday party that she had when Tai had given her the hair clip and she had yelled at him for it, though in truth, it was her favorite gift that day. She put her hand up and rubbed it through her hair, feeling the clip that she never took out of her hair, she smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.
We've seen our share of ups and downs oh, how quickly life can turn around
in an instant. It feels so good to reunite, within yourself and within your mind
lets find peace there. 'Cause when you are with me I'm free, I'm careless,
I believe, above all the others we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice
I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again
Sora remembered when they were in the digital world for the first time, Tai promised her that he would protect her, no matter what. She then thought of her first kiss, Tai was with her under their favorite tree in the park, they stood up to leave, but Sora stumbled. Tai caught her in his arms, their faces inches apart, they closed the gap until their lips met, she could still remember the feeling that it gave her, like she was flying through the air. they drew away from each other, blushing, a little too soon than either of them would've liked.
When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe, above all the others
we'll fly this bring tears to my eyes
Sora thought back to Christmas day, when she was on her way to Matt's concert, Tai had called out to her, asked her if she was going to the concert with anyone, but she turned him down for Matt, she thought of the look that he had, he smiled at her, but she could see the hurt in his eyes, the look that tore her heart in two. Tears were streaming down her now as she ran inside her house, to her room, crying.
'Cause when you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe above all the others
we'll fly, this brings tears to my eyes, my sacrifice, my sacrifice
then, as she sat there on her bed, picture of Tai in her hand, she thought of her most recent memory of him, she looked at him, looked into his eyes, eyes full of sorrow, remorse, and...love...? she wanted to go to him, to comfort him, to hold him, but she couldn't, she was frozen in place by the look of hurt on his face, that same look that he had on that Christmas
night, and she cried, tears dripping onto his picture, and it hit her, she was in love with him 'it was so obvious now, why couldn't I see it earlier?!'she thought.
I just want to say hello again. I just want to say hello again
My Sacrifice.
she heard a knock on her door. She quickly wiped her eyes and hid the picture under her pillow. "Come in!" she said trying to sound normal, thinking it was her mother that was checking up on her. She was surprised to see Matt standing there. "Oh, hi Matt." she said. "Sora?" he asked, noticing that her face was red and she had red marks under her eyes. "Have you been crying?" he asked her. "No, no, I just had gotten dust in my eyes when I was dusting my room." she said, putting on a fake smile. "I'll be right back" she said, as she ran to her bathroom leaving a very confused Yamato. He noticed something, lying on her bed when her pillow fell off, it looked like a picture frame. He went up close to look at it and saw the picture of Tai, it was a little wet with drops of some liquid that he could only guess were tears. He heard her coming back from the bathroom so he put the picture back and put the pillow over it. Sora walked in from the bathroom, face cleaned up, to find Matt sitting down on her bed waiting patiently for her. "So, what did you come by for?" she asked. "For our date, remember?" he replied. "Oh, I'm sorry Matt, but I don't feel very well right now, maybe sometime next week?" she asked. "Oh, sure, well then I guess I'll see you later then." he said with a disheartened tone. "Okay..." Sora said "...later"
