Chapter 13
He just stares at his own partner as Revmon finishes explaining why Machinedramon blowed himself up. He wasn't the only one who was staring dumbly at his partner. "That might actually be oddest way of defeating an enemy." Izzy remarks. He had to agree with the red head.
Then they all hear the stomachs of the Digimon, not Revmon's, Patamon's, or Gatomon's stomachs though, but to their partner's stomachs too. He says, "Getting hungrier, huh?" Those that haven't eaten lunch turn red in the face. He grins and says, "I was smart enough to pack some fruit before we left the building." He takes his pack off and opens it to where he has the fruit. He hands out all of the fruit to the group and he then sits down by Kari and TK.
He sighs as he thinks about the last time they faced off against Piedmon. He does find it funny now that the clown transformed most of the group into key chains, he even used to tease Matt about it, but he no longer finds it funny.
"Any hints about what Piedmon can do?" Izzy asks. "He can transform Digimon into key chains." He says. The others seem to think his making a joke, even TK and Kari laughed a bit. Then Matt asks, "You're serious?" He nods. The other stop grinning and Tai asks, "How?" "He uses a white cloth, it covers you and you transform into key chains. That's all I know, Patamon did undue it though." He tells them. "I did?" The rookie asks. "Or you will." Revmon answers. The others all look like there thinking something over.
He feels TK lean on him and Tai says, "We might as well just rest, then. TK looks tired." "Am not!" TK says tiredly. He places his arm around the kid's shoulders and feels as TK moves closer to him. He turns to find everyone looking smug at him. He blinks and looks at Matt for answers. Matt just smiles greatly and leaves him wonder just why everyone seems have these odd looks on their faces. He also wonders just why Matt doesn't seem overly jealous either. He glances as his partner and Revmon also looks a bit clueless too. He just decides not to question this and the others kind of all sit or lie down.
Izzy types away at his computer, Kari is chatting with the Digimon, Matt and Tai seems to have started a game of Tic Tac Toe, and Sora seems to be thinking hard about something. He just leans back on the rock behind him and also wonders just where Joe and Mimi are. He knows that Joe was with Matt when Sora and him searched for Matt. He also remembers that weird cave that Sora ended up in too.
This time around, there was no search party after Matt and also no internal fight either. Both Tai and Matt were getting along pretty good and he knows that if anything, the friendship between the two will be stronger then his timeline.
That makes him wonder about the friendship between TK and Kari. He was also beginning to notice how everyone was more worried about Kari and seems to try and protect her. He did it too, but only when he really was concerned about her. Like when she first began showing signs of having a fever or when he thought that Kari would be drained from doing that whole glowing business.
He frowns as he recall how during the times that Davis tried to keep Kari from fighting and how after the fight Kari would look. He might have agreed privately with Davis, but he tended to keep it to himself. Now he was beginning to understand those looks, for Kari didn't want to be treated differently from TK. But in a way, they were. For TK has proven himself many times during the first time, before they ever fought Myotismon.
He wonders if he should talk to Kari about it. He then decides to do it soon, for he doesn't know just how Piedmon will react this time. The clown's a tricky one, he knew.
(----------------------------------------Kari-----------------------------------------)
She turns to look at TK and Jager. She had to admit that the sight of them was cute. The teen also seems to be lost in his own thoughts as TK rests at his side. At this moment, she could almost see the resemblance between the two.
She notices that other then Revmon and Gatomon, most Digimon were now fast asleep. "Something wrong?" Revmon asks quietly. She thinks about it slowly and then asks, "Were Jager and … the other me close?" Revmon answers, "Best of friends. Worried?" She sighs and nods. "I don't have too many friends. Some of the kids think that they'll get sick if they spent too much time with me." She says softly. Gatomon snorts and says, "Then they don't know what they're missing!" Revmon nods in agreement. "Do you think I can have that kind of relationship with TK?" She asks Revmon. "If you want to, I don't see why not. I think he wouldn't mind too much either." The black rookie tells her. She nods and she lies down. She then asks, "Did they ever, you know, date?" "Didn't get the chance. They just couldn't talk to each other about their feelings." Revmon says. She blushes, she remembers watching some of the soaps at home. She even talked with her mom about what she had watched.
She guesses it couldn't hurt to just get to know him first. Just cause they became good friend when Jager was a kid, doesn't mean much now. She lets her eyes close and falls asleep.
(--------------------------------------Jager------------------------------------------)
Everyone had fallen asleep but him. He also notices that Revmon had fought it off but couldn't anymore and fell asleep close to Kari to keep her warm. He can't sleep just yet, but he did decide to wake either Matt or Tai to stand guard. He knows that they had a busy day today, and everyone could use some rest before the final battle with the last Dark Master and then Apocalymon.
TK begins to stir and asks, "Is it night time already?" He grins and answers, "Not really. Everyone just couldn't stay awake." "O." TK says and moves away from him. He watches as TK gets up and stretches out his arms.
TK then opens his pack and takes out some fruit. TK looks at him and he shakes his head. TK then comes back to his side and he asks the kid, "You really want to know about it?" TK looks puzzled about this comment until it dawns on him about what he means. "You ready to talk about it then?" TK asks him.
He nods and begins as he looks at his partner. "It all started when I first woke up…"
(-/-/-/-)
He blinks and looks around. He was amazed that he survived the attack. He gets up off the ground and begins to look around. He can't find anything, only this really odd Digivice. He picks it up and it glows brightly at this touch, then it stops. He pockets the Digivice and continues to look around.
He soon spies building of Primary Village. He walks towards the field of eggs and looks around. He's puzzled as to why he'd wake this close to Primary Village. He glances around looking for Elecmon, the caretaker of the village.
He then walks into through the field of eggs. He stops and looks at this green Digi Egg. He then feels the Digivice in his pocket shake and he takes it out. It again glows and the green Digi Egg also glows. Without knowing why, he makes his way towards the egg. He pockets the Digivice again and picks up the Digi Egg.
He feels the egg shake and soon it hatches. He is then staring at a fresh Digimon. The Digimon looks at him and he could see it frown. He just looks puzzled at the Digimon. 'Could this be Patamon? But he isn't even a Poyomon!' He thinks as he continues to hold the baby Digimon. The baby Digimon looks to be a ball of purple fur. The Digimon also had this tiny fin on its head.
Soon the little Digimon begins to cry and he's just plain confused as to why. He looks around, hoping that Elecmon will appear or at least someone will. He really doesn't know just what's going on! He tries to comfort the little Digimon, but it doesn't seem to help for soon the little purple Digimon jumps out of his hands and jumps away.
He tries to rub his hat, only to find that he lost his hat. He then checks himself over. The cloths he's wearing were a simple brown shirt with an image of a sword on the front. He finds a pair of blue jeans and black runners. He blinks as he tries to remember why he's wearing these cloths.
He just stands there, having a hard time figuring out just what happened. He turns when he hears Elecmon call out, "Hey you!" He watches as the red Digimon races towards him. He says, "Hey Elecmon. How's it going?" Elecmon looks confused at him and asks, "Do I know you?" He feels his body stiffen at that. He swallows and says, "I'm TK, remember?"
The reaction that he got to that wasn't what he expected. But then he also figured out that his voice wasn't the same either. Elecmon's face hardens and the Digimon says in an icy tone, "TK's been died for two days! You also look nothing like him!" He blinks rapidly and asks weakly, "I'm died? I know that the spear hit my chest, but …" He touches the spot where he remembers the spear entering his body.
Elecmon blinks and he just pales as he remembers more about what happened to his friends. He could feel the tears running down his checks as he recalls the screams of his friends as they were killed. He can even see the faces of every Digimon that had joined in on the attack. He can't get the images to stop either. They just keep going on about how Joe was cut down while trying to check on Mimi. He remembers why Mimi was the first to be killed, for she tried to talk sense into them and failed.
Then about how Tai, Matt, and Davis then tried to fend them off using sticks. He could remember the cries from Sora, Kari, and Yolei. Ken tries to block the attack on Yolei and is cut in half. Then about Cody then trying to defend him as he found he couldn't move a muscle. The cries from Sora telling him to run, but he just stares dumbly as the rest of his friends are killed.
Then he gets knocked to the ground and he rolls to dodge the attack. He then gets kicked by one of the Digimon. He gets the air knocked out of him and he again tries to roll away from the in coming attack. He even gets up off the ground, but he runs into a spear welding Digimon. He hears the laughter of the Digimon and feels the pain as the spear is rammed into this chest…
He lets out a sob and falls to the ground. He holds his arms to his chest and says over and over, "Make them go away! Make them stop."
(-/-/-/-)
He trials off and the pain might not be as raw as it used to be, but it kind of remains after all of this time. He feels TK touch his arm and he snaps out of it. He smiles weakly and says, "Elecmon was kind enough to knock me out after I upset the babies. I really don't blame him, he also apologized over a hundred time for it too." TK sighs and says, "Are you going to continue?" He turns to where the Digimon is hiding and says, "Later." He watches as Revmon also snaps his head in the direction of the watcher.
He slowly gets up off the ground and says in an icy tone, "Might as well show yourself, your covers been blow." The Digimon just laughs in an insane voice. It wakes the others up and they all watch as LadyDevimon reveals herself.
