Chapter 7
It's been a day since the last encounter with Myotismon. He knows that the final event is going to be happening soon, he also knows from TK, that Kari has meet up with Gatomon again.
The thing is Kari saved Gatomon from a sneak attack from DemiDevimon. It also seems that Gatomon deleted the rookie for attacking Kari. TK arrived at the moment of Gatomon's attack. It seems that Gatomon hasn't left Kari's side when TK brought Tai to where Kari was.
The reason he knows this is simple, TK phoned looking for Matt but he answered the phone. TK then spilled the bean on what happened before he handed the phone over to a worried Matt. While Matt had been on the phone, he got Revmon to go out and search from Wizardmon. He knows that Wizardmon will help out better then a doctor.
Soon now they were meeting up at Tai's house. He frowns as he wonders where Wizardmon took off to though. He worries about just what Wizardmon was up to, for if he remembers correctly, Gatomon and Wizardmon both confronted Myotismon in hopes of getting Kari's tag and crest. He met Wizardmon the first time when Wizardmon was tossed into the water. Joe and him had just finished fighting MegaSeadramon when they spotted the wizard.
He sighs as Matt and Gabumon make it to the door before Revmon and him. "What were you thinking about?" Matt asks. "Just about where Wizardmon might have disappeared to." He answers. Revmon adds, "You look to be in a hurry."
Matt doesn't get a chance to answer for Tai opens the door. "Come on in!" Tai says and they file into the apartment. He's not too surprise to find Sora or Izzy here, for Sora had been Tai's friend long before this all started and Izzy was kind of a person who likes to have a early start on things. He just grins and reminds himself that they needed to learn and grown on their own, without a lot of inference from him or Revmon.
Gatomon enters the room and looks at him and then at his partner. "I still want to know what's going on. I just betrayed my master and it had better be for a good reason." Gatomon growls at him. "Is the fact that Kari's your partner a good reason?" He asks the champion level Digimon. They all watch as Gatomon freezes at hearing her own thoughts spoken out loud, but confirmed.
"She really is?" Kari asks from the doorway. They all turn to look at Tai's little sister. He nods his head in agreement. Tai says, "Anything else you want to add?" They all turn to look at him. He sighs in defeat and says to Gatomon, "I come from another future. I'm TK, but I'm going by the name Jager now. You see, when I was fourteen years old, a group of Digimon attacked and killed all the whole group of Digidestine and their partners. I was kill then too." He pauses and looks to his partner. Then continues, "I got reformatted when I was resurrected. My partner also changed because of it." Gatomon looks stunned at the news.
After a few minutes of silences, Gatomon says, "Then Myotismon is defeated." He nods his head. They all then sit down and light conversation begins. He talks to Izzy about computers, Sora and Tai about soccer, and Matt and Kari just watch TV. The Digimon decide to use this time to take naps.
The doorbell is heard and Tai then answers the door, it turns out to be Mimi with Palmon. "Well, this looks cozy! I could think of a few additions though…" Mimi says as she enters the apartment. He blinks at some of the comments that Mimi made about improving look of the apartment.
He can't help but smile at how Mimi's acting. Too soon, they'll be fighting the Dark Masters. He gets up and walks over to Matt. He then asks Matt, "Matt, do you mind if I take TK to the pool this afternoon?" Matt look surprise and shrugs, "Sure." He then walks back to where Izzy is. He feels pity for Sora, for it looks like Tai was getting really worked up about Mimi's comments. Sora was stuck between keeping Tai from saying something rude and from getting Mimi to stop talking. Kari decides to help out by distracting Mimi by asking what kind of cloths would look good on her.
That only further enraged Tai, for he came to the conclusion that Mimi was insulting his mom and then his baby sister. Mimi was still oblivious to Tai being angry. Sora kept on trying to get Tai away from Mimi. It wasn't working, though. Sora then sent Matt a pleading look, Matt didn't respond for a few minutes, then, reluctantly, got up from where he was sitting and grabbed Tai roughly and says, "Lets get some air." Tai tries to protest, but between Sora and Matt doesn't get more then a word or two in there.
He just grins as they make it to the balcony. "We do stay good friends, I take it?" Izzy asks. He just nods, "Really good friends." Izzy shrugs and then the doorbell is heard. Kari gets away from Mimi to answer it.
It turns out to be Joe with TK. Patamon is in TK's arms and Gomamon most likely in Joe's bag. Soon Gomamon's head pops out of the bag and Joe's partner remarks, "I think you need to get mint toothpaste. It'll help with the smell of dirty books." "You think so?" Joe asks. "I was just kidding! I get really concerned about you, Joe, I really do." Gomamon says while shaking his head. Everyone in the room chuckle a bit at Joe's expense.
TK sits by Kari, while Joe sits on the floor by Izzy and him, and, finally, Tai and them in from the balcony. At seeing everyone here, Tai did glare at Mimi, he decides that Tai's still sore about Mimi's comments about his family's apartment, Tai began, "As some of you might already know, yesterday Kari stop DemiDevimon from getting hit by a sneak attack and Gatomon deleted him. Somehow, Revmon found Gatomon's friend Wizardmon. Wizardmon then healed my sister and then Wizardmon took off. Where, we don't know, but Wizardmon can take care of himself, so we here to make plans."
Tai then motions for Izzy to begin. Izzy then gets up and moves as to let everyone see him. "I've been going over the information that Jager has given and on what we've learnt from Gatomon. I believe that we should expect Myotismon to try something to cut off the area around this district. According to Gatomon, Myotismon has already set something in motion, what this is, I have no clue." Mimi then asks, "Why not just ask Jager?" They all turn to look at him and he answers, "There are some things that I just feel you guys need to do without my help. This is your fight and if I'm always guiding you by the hand. Things are changing because of Revmon and I; things that happened in my past might not be your future. If I get taken out of the picture, you guys need to be confident in your abilities to fight on your own." "So in other words, if the enemy sees you as the leader, they'll try and separate you from us when we really need you." Sora comments. "Sounds about right." He states.
Izzy nods his head, most likely knowing just what he meant. "So, even if we win against Myotismon, we still have enemies out there?" Izzy asks. He sighs and Matt then speaks up, "I'll answer that. Jager told me about this four mega level Digimon nicknamed the Dark Masters. We get to go back to the Digital World right after we defeat Myotismon. I plan on packing this time around." He just nods and Tai then asks, "There's a higher level of Digimon out there?" This time Revmon decides to answer, "Not many Digimon Digivolve into mega level Digimon, but if it makes you feel better, if things work out like they did last time, Agumon and Gabumon will be able to go mega too." Tai just grins and Matt looks startled at being mentioned. "You're not going to tell us how though?" Joe asks. "It'll work out, it did before and it will again." He answers. "We just have to have faith in our own abilities, but can Revmon go mega?" Tai asks.
He looks out the window, in his mind he remembers the first time Revmon went mega…
(-/-/-/-/-)
"You can't win! I am a Demon Lord! You can't hope to defeat me!" The huge black Digimon states. His lies under the right foot of this demon Digimon, pinned to the floor. Purple wings open wide and the horn head pointing to the ceiling.
He looks to where his partner is; he feels tears running down his cheeks. His partner is under some rubble, he feels so useless. Suddenly a light begins to leak out of the cracks between the ruined wall. He knows that his partner was Digivolving…
(-/-/-/-/-)
He snaps out of his memory, he looks Tai in the eye and says, "Revmon can if need be." Tai seems to blink and then changes the subject by asking, "Is there anything else anyone wants to talk about?"
With a chain of no's, the meeting ends and he looks over at his partner. Revmon sighs and they both then turn to look for TK, TK's with Kari and Gatomon and Patamon is in TK's arms. He makes his way towards his other self and asks, "You're not busy today?" TK turns and looks at him and answers, "Nope, why?" "You want to come to the pool with Revmon and me?" He asks. TK blinks and says worriedly, "But I don't know how to swim!" "We'll teach you." Revmon adds. TK then smiles and says, "Ok! But I need swim trunks though…" Kari then says, "Tai has some old one that you can use."
With that, Kari went to get TK a pair of swim trunks. He never thought to ask anyone about borrowing a pair of swim trunks for TK to use, he kind of thought about buying TK and himself a pair after he gets his debit and credit cards from the bank.
Soon Kari comes back with a pair that looks like they'll do. "Thank you." He says and TK adds, "Thanks a lot Kari!" Kari smiles at being thanked and says, "Your quite welcome." They then finish saying bye to the others.
(------------------------------------------TK----------------------------------------)
They have been at the pool since 2:00 pm. They first stopped off at a bank so Jager could get his bankcards, then they stopped to eat, and after that, Jager bought a pair of swim trunks.
At first they started at the shallow end of the pool and as time went by they slowly progressed into deeper water. They had breaks so that he could get his breath back. Then they'd continue, now he's learning how to dive. He never really thought about how much work it took to learn how to swim or about diving. But he did notice that both Jager and Revmon seem to think that he needed these lessons, so he tried not to take too many breaks.
"I think we're finished." Jager says. He asks, "Finished as in finish swimming? Or finish as in done with the lessons?" "Finished as in time to leave." His 'brother' tells him. He nods and they head out of the pool. He notices the looks that Jager is getting from the older girls. He just ignores them; they've been looking at Jager oddly since they got here. He thinks its cause of Jager's mismatched eyes.
They make it to the guy's locker room and he then checks his key to find the right locker. After they finish getting dried off and stuff, they exit the men's locker room and they past a group of teenage girls, more then a few of them hand Jager slips of paper. He blinks as Jager soon begins to talk with the five girls.
He looks around for Revmon and Patamon. They couldn't have Revmon discovered, so both of the Digimon decided to look around while Jager teaches him how to swim. He really didn't get why Jager seems to be talking with these girls, but after a few minutes the group leaves and he decides to ask, "They didn't hurt your feeling, did they?"
Jager looks startled and answers, "No, they didn't. Why you ask?" "Well, they gave you those slips of paper! And they gave you weird looks!" He answers. Jager cocks his head to his left and then something dawns on him. "Those girls were interested in dating me, TK! It's normal behaviour and when you get older, a lot of girls will be giving you odd looks and maybe even giving you their phone numbers." His 'brother' explains. He looks puzzled and asks, "What's a date?" Jager runs a hand through his white hair. "Its like hanging out, but with a girl and without anyone else hanging out with you." Jager states. He sighs and says, "So, it's like what we did today?" "Kind of, only it's usually going to see a movie and to get a bit to eat. If you want to know more, just ask mom, ok?" Jager says. He just nods his head.
They find Revmon and Patamon waiting outside. "Guess what! Jager got some phone numbers!" He tells Revmon. Revmon raises an eyebrow and Jager then explains, "Five girls stopped and handed them to me. Then we chatted a bit." Revmon snorts and his partner looks confused. "Why would they give you phone numbers?" Patamon asks. "So that I can phone them and ask them out on dates." Jager answers. "A date is something that teenagers go on with one member of the opposite gender. They usually go to a movie and have a meal together." Revmon explains to Patamon. He grins and now knows that what Jager had told him was the truth.
"Does this mean that TK should ask Kari out on a date?" Patamon asks. They all stop walking and Revmon and Jager share a look. Then they both start laughing. "I do believe Tai will have something to say about that! For now, Kari and TK are just too young to date." Jager explains after they finish laughing. They soon catch a bus to take they to his apartment. It's 6:38 pm and he's getting hungry.
