Tai awoke with a groan. He sat up slowly and looked around.
He was in a clearing surrounded by trees. They seemed so real, more realistic than the place he had been only seconds before. He was still in the Digital world, but he was alone.
Or so he thought.
A roar to his right alerted him that he thought wrong. As he turned to face the sound, a large Tyrannomon crashed through the bushes. Tai turned and ran. Without Agumon there, he felt vulnerable, naked to any attacks that might hit him. Just shows how much a Digidestined depends on his or her partner.
He rounded a corner and bumped into a figure. He sat up and looked at the person he had rammed into.
"Matt!" Matt glared at him.
"Thank you for knocking me over, baka!"
"Insult me later. Right now, we have a Tyrannomon on our tail." Tai explained. Matt was about to say something when the rhino digimon appeared. Tai stood and pulled Matt onto his feet. No words were exchanged between the two, but they started running at exactly the same time.
"Ow!" she stared at her hands, "Oh man! I can't believe my luck! I broke a nail. And I only had them manicured yesterday!"
Mimi Takachiwa had been walking through the dense forest for while now, the humid air getting on her nerves.
She heard a branch snap behind her. Turning to see the owner of the breath she screamed in surprise.
"Mimi! Calm down! It's only me!" Mimi stared at the girl infront of her. It was Miyako Inoue.
"Yolei, sorry. I thought you were some big scary digimon or something." Yolei sent her a glare and placed her hands on her hips.
She was about o say something when voices interrupted them. Out of instinct they dove behind the nearest bush and hid silently.
(((Well nah…it's not like they're going to have a party behind the bush while they hide, is it?)))
"We need to find them! I don't want her to get hurt!" One voice squealed.
"Palmon, please calm down. Gennai wants us to search for them and we can't for it when you two don't look." Another voice answered.
"Will you two please keep your eyes open? Hawkmon, can you please come up here and help me look for them?" There was a flutter of wings and then silence.
A twig snapped. The two girls whipped around to see a small plant-like digimon staring at them in awe.
"Mimi!"
"Palmon!" The two hugged tightly.
"Yolei!" the lilac-haired girl turned to see a small brown and white bird land with another pink one.
"Hawkmon! Biyomon!" She exclaimed. The two birds ran towards her and were engulfed in a strong hug.
"Where's Sora?" Biyomon asked.
"We don't really know." Yolei apologized. The pink beard closed her eyes.
"I promised to always protect her, and now I can't. I promised to always be there for her, and now I can't. I can't believe I broken my promises to her!"
"Biyo, calm down. We'll probably be able to trace her via the digivices and then you'll be able to see her again. Nothing's gonna happen to her." Mimi replied.
"Mimi, that has to be the most sentimental thing that I have ever heard you say." Yolei replied.
"Come on. We have to go back to Gennai and tell him that we found you. After that we need to go out and search for the others." Palmon urged.
"Ok…" Yolei answered, her brow furrowed as she stared at the bush where she thought she had saw movement.
Sora whirled around at the twig snapping behind her, and the sound of voices. She couldn't recognise them, and she couldn't hear what they were saying, but something told her that she knew them.
She crept slowly towards a bush to see a lilac haired girl say something then furrow her brow in her direction.
"Yolei…" Sora whispered. Yolei turned to follow another girl and three digimon who were disappearing into the trees opposite.
Curious, Sora followed ducking behind trees and bushes so as not to be seen. She didn't know why she was hiding from her friends. Perhaps it was the incident with Tai- no, Piedmon that had alerted her senses.
Joe, Izzy, Cody and Ken had been walking for a while now through the scorching, deserted, sandy wasteland. They had had no water and it was taking a stress on their bodies. Ever reliable Joe had, for once, not been so reliable, forgetting to bring a bottle with him.
"Guys!" Ken exclaimed. They sluggishly turned to face him, "Over there! Water!" He explained, not wanting to waste energy thinking about proper sentences.
(((In other words, the author is just pretty lazy rite now.)))
The three other boys' faces lit up and soon they were running towards the pool, not caring about their aching muscles and obvious exhaustion. Their mouths so dry they would drink Mrs. Kamiya's Beef Jerky Shakes (Izzy can tell you from experience how awful these taste).
They reached the water hole and, thankfully, realised that is was not the mirage that the nagging thoughts in the back of their heads had told them it was. They immediately stooped down beside the water and hungrily scooped up the water into their mouths. A scream of sheer joy rose from the other side and, peering into the distance, saw a small figure running towards them.
The figure ran to the water hole and also started drinking hungrily, as though he too had been starved of water.
"Davis!" Cody exclaimed. The other looked up confused, but his face soon changed into pure happiness.
"Cody! Guys!" He jumped in and swam over to them.
"Have fun?" Ken asked as his leader dragged himself out.
"Yes actually." Davis replied.
"Glad to know…" Ken replied, rolling his eyes.
H-4-T: Hey guys! Right, after this there probably won't be much mention of any characters besides T.K and Kari, for two reasons.
1) I want this t be centred on them.
2) I can't really write emotions for anyone else because I feel I know these two best.
Hey! Believe it or not, this was one of my first stories that I ever wrote! I'm so glad that I've got these ideas and am able to write them in. Oh well…LATERZ!
