"I'm impressed you figured it out." Matt walked back to the stage, and sat
on the foot.
TK looked over his brother in disbelief. Matt still had his wild blond hair, but had a lariat attached to his hip. He wore a black leather jacket with metal pins, and wore a white shirt under the jacket with the red anarchy symbol. "I can't believe it. You're Gamma. But how? You where always a perfect big brother. You always watched out for me."
"Ironically, that's why I'm in this situation." Matt smiled. "If it makes you feel any better, I originally joined the Council of Five against my will. You and I where at our father's apartment, shortly after returning from camp. Suddenly, the wall exploded from the outside in. Ladydevimon stood there, red glowing eyes staring at us. You where knocked senseless as she flew in. I asked her what the hell she was doing? She said something about eliminating the smallest among the digidestined. I didn't understand, until her hand reshaped itself forming some sort of lance. She pointed the tip at my throat. I asked her why she was going to kill me. A look of shock crossed her face. She had no intention of killing me she replied. Instead she picked my unconscious little brother. I realized in horror who she was talking about. I jumped her, but I she pushed me down without the slightest effort. She put the blade to his throat. I started begging for my little brother's life with tears in my eyes. I offered my own in exchange, I told her I would do anything, give her anything. Suddenly she dropped TK to my surprise. She turned towards me and said she accepted. I asked her what did she mean? She said she accepted my offer. As long as I served her and did what she say, she would not hurt TK or my family."
TK looked at his brother, with a new sort of respect. "You did that for me? You're doing this against your will?"
Matt nodded his head. "Originally yes. Ladydevimon moved you, father, and mother to the digital world where you all live in relative comfort. That way you were safe, but where Ladydevimon could hold you over my head. If I didn't do what she said, she'd have you all killed. So I took a seat on her council, and she gave me an army to do her bidding. At first whenever I captured good honest digimon, helped crushed a rebellion, or destroyed a city, I told myself I had to do it for TK and my family. This went on for months. I became a source of terror, Gamma the Council of Five member. I still did what Ladydevimon requested of me, until one day, I realized, I wasn't doing this for my family anymore. I didn't even see them anymore. I liked being respected as Gamma."
TK's respect for his brother vanished. "You mean feared."
Matt laughed and stood up, walking towards his brother. "Is there a difference? I enjoy the power Ladydevimon bestowed upon, the fright my name brings the esteem the title Gamma gives me. Matt died over the years, and replaced by Gamma. And good riddance. And as for Gamma, he has orders to capture you."
TK's muscles tightened. "You won't hurt your brother."
"You're not my brother." Matt took the whip off his hip. "My brother is in the digital world. He's merely a footnote to me now. You're some imposter from another time-line. You mean nothing to me." He raised his whip, and slashed it at TK.
TK raised his arm, the whip encircling his hand. He pulled hard, pulling the weapon out of Matt's surprised grip. "I'm going to help you Matt, whether you like it or not!" TK leapt forward, tackling Matt to the ground.
Matt grinned as TK landed on top of him. "You're a lot different from the whiny child I remembered you as." Matt kicked up, pushing TK off. "I'm willing to bet this world's TK still sleeps with a night light."
The two faced one another. TK ripped the whip off his arm. He cracked it if he where a lion tamer. "You're coming with me Matt. Gabumon's gone, and there's no one left to protect you."
"You heard my announcement for my forces to leave, I take it." Matt backed up, avoiding the whip. "But guess what?" A hand wrapped around TK's neck from behind. Matt smirked, "I lied, right Etemon?"
"Right Gamma." Etemon twisted TK around. TK slashed with his whip instinctively, but Etemon grabbed the coil out of his hand. TK tried to say something, but Etemon clasped a hand over his mouth. "Now don't interrupt, un-huh."
Matt smiled. "Good work Etemon." Matt walked up to TK, removed his hat, and mussed up hair. TK tried to kick Matt, but couldn't from his position. "Now," Matt replaced the hat. "Bring my dear brother to the dungeon." Etemon turned to leave. "Oh Etemon?" Etemon turned back, holding the struggling TK in his grasp. "Make sure the cell has a night light."
"Here you go, I hope you enjoy your stay, most likely eternal, un-huh." Etemon threw TK into the dark and dank cell. TK landed on the ground, bouncing once. Etemon pushed the metallic door shut with a loud clang. TK jumped to his feet, and immediately ran up to the door. He slammed his fist on the door in anger. TK breathed in deeply, calming himself down. He walked around, and saw a lumpy cot attached to wall in the dim light. TK was now exhausted from the whole experience. He jumped on top of the cot his energy leaving him.
"EEYYYYAAAHHH!" Something on the cot screamed. TK jumped in surprise. A girl with spiky hair jumped up half covered with the blanket. She pulled her fist back, and nailed the surprise TK in the jaw.
TK fell back on the floor. "Nice to see you too Jun." TK grabbed his jaw and cracked it back in place.
"Oops. Sorry." Jun clutched the blanket close to her chest. "You jumped on me, and when I saw you, I thought you were Gamma at first. Not to be mean, but you do kind of look like him."
"Apology accepted." TK stood up. "What are you doing here?"
"You know what? I ask my self the same thing." Jun looked around the cage. "Here I am, working as a cook for that wench Epsilon and her army. Then a little while ago, I'm hauled out of the kitchen, dragged here, and shoved in this pit. At least Gamma had the decency to show me his face before locking me in here. He's cute, but completely nuts. I never even seen that witch Epsilon face to face. And look!" Jun motioned to herself as she dropped the blanket. She had a sheet wraped around her self. "That Epsilon stole my favourite T-shirt, hell my only t-shirt! I have to wear this stupid sheet!" Jun stopped her rant. "Hey, how do YOU know my name?"
TK didn't think Jun would understand time-travel and alternate realities, so he simply said, "From your brother Davis, he's told me all about you, so I recognized you on sight." Ok, there were holes in that story you could ride a Tyrannonmon through, but it was the best he could come up with on such short notice.
"Davis?" Jun clutched the blanket close to her chest. "But they killed him, along with a million other humans, to punish us for that rebellion. You mean he's alive, you've seen him? Is he all right?"
"He's just fine last time I saw him." (When he tried to kill me that is.) TK thought to himself. Of course that was the spires affecting him, but there was always bad blood between them.
"Oh that's great! Davis is alive!" Jun ran forward, and hugged TK tightly. "Thank you!"
"Umm Jun..." TK looked at Jun hugging him, then he quickly looked up, his eyes wide. "You're um.... showing..." TK closed his eyes as she pushed Jun away.
"Opps..." Jun blushed as she repotioned the sheet. "I don't suppose you have an extra shirt or something?"
"No, Ma..er Gamma wasn't too accomidating." TK replied as he walked to the door of the cell. (My own brother locked me up.... maybe he is from another world, but he is still Matt...)
"Well this is great. I am probably goign to spend the rest of my life in this cell, with a stupid sheet wrapped around my body because Epsilon needed my shirt for some stupid reason!" Jun slumped down on the cot.
(Probably to lure Davis, like Matt's harmonica lured me here. Damn, I should have been more careful. Now Epsilon probably has Davis and Veemon, and she coudl be anybody! If Matt could be Gamma, who could be Epsilon? Could we be doomed to fight our own friends and family?) TK sighed as he collected his thoughts. (At least one thing about fighting your family, is that you know them better than anyone.) "Not to burst your bubble, but I don't plan on being here much longer." TK turned and faced Jun.
Jun laughed in spite of herself. "I suppose Gamma is just going to say, open the cell door, and let us on our merry way."
"As matter of fact…" One thing TK like to do for April Fool's day was pretend he was his brother on the phone whenever his friends called. He became quite good at sounding like Matt. He had never thought that skill would save his from captivity, but he never would have expected Matt to become a warlord. TK spoke from his diaphragm, and a voice, not like TK's, but like Matt's spoke. "I think he will."
TK looked over his brother in disbelief. Matt still had his wild blond hair, but had a lariat attached to his hip. He wore a black leather jacket with metal pins, and wore a white shirt under the jacket with the red anarchy symbol. "I can't believe it. You're Gamma. But how?
