Digimon 3: Lost Prophecy

Part Seven: My Big Fat Bleak Funeral

""Izzy?" Mimi said, dropping the prophecy. Izzy clutched his head and fell to the ground.

"Izzy? Izzy! Stop it, you're scaring me!"

"Kari...Katrina..." he moaned before he stopped moving completely.

"Izzy? Wake up, c'mon!" Mimi panicked. "MRS. IZUMI!""

"Hey," Sora said as TK and Matt walked to her, wearing black. "It's a lot more depressing than I thought it would be."

"Funerals aren't my type of thing," Matt said, standing next to her. "Why does Izzy get to miss out?"

"Because he's lying in a hospital bed, unconsious," Sora said. "Poor guy; he's been knocked out for two days."

"Did Mimi say what happened?" TK asked.

"She probably tried to kiss him," Matt joked. Sora playfully slapped his arm.

"Don't even joke. Here come Tai and Adrian!"

The small crowd, mostly made up of co-workers of Jon, Chantal, and the Kamiya's, parted and gave their respects to Adrian and Tai.

"Hey," Sora said, hugging Tai, then Adrian. "This is it, huh?"

"Yeah," Tai said, sighing. "I'm gonna miss her."

"We're all going to miss her," TK said. "And Katrina. I was just getting to know her."

"Can we just get this over with?" Adrian said. "I don't want to go to the reception."

"I thought there wasn't going to be one," Matt said. Adrian gave a quirky smirk.

"Uncle Toby made themchange their minds. Anything for a little beer, he says."

"I see," Sora said, giggling. "Well, who else is here?"

"Cody, Yolei, Davis, and Ken are coming over after they visit Izzy," TK said. "And Joe should be coming soon. He still has to take the taxi from Tokyo to here."

"Good ole' Joe," Tai said. "He's the only lucky one; he won't understand what's going on. He's only here for Kari, he doesn't know your sister."

"Joe," Adrian said. "That's the one you said is at that medical college in America, right?"

Sora nodded. "Yeah. The whole gang will be here soon. If I can find out where Mimi is."

"Probably picking up Michael," Adrian snorted. "Either way, let's go inside. The others will be here soon."

The mass was slow paced and morbid, but eventually the digidestined found themselves outside, ready to prepare for the burial, although there were empty coffins (but no one had to know). It wasn't until the coffins were being slowly lowered that Joe Kido finally showed up. Sora grinned at him, and Adrian exchanged smiles and compliments with him. It wasn't until he took a double-take that he saw it.

Two robed figures.

There faces were covered with a cloak, and they were staring at the coffins. Sora followed Adrian's gaze.

"Ugh, graverobbers," Sora said. "It's best to ignore them."

"Yeah," Adrian said and he nudged Tai in the ribs.

"Ouch!" Tai hissed as the coffins were lowered in and covered. "This better be important!"

Adrian nudged his head in the direction of the robed figures. "I don't think they're grave robbers."

"I feel you," Tai said as the guests started exchanging their respects to the Kamiya's, Jon, Chantal, and Toby. "Who are they?"

"Adrian, I was wondering if we could take a walk," Joe said, kindly approaching him. "I don't know how hard it must be for you."

"Sure," Adrian said, tearing his eyes away from the strangers. "Do you mind if we walk around the gravestones? It'll help me to move on."

"Of course," Joe said. The two broke away from the group. Adrian wasn't paying much attention to what Joe was saying. He looked around. Tai was standing with Sora, Matt, TK, Yolei, Ken, Davis, Mimi, Micheal,and Cody. Jon and Chantal were standing with Toby and two strangers, obviously Tiron Tanima, and Rikko Tsurasa, who was holding a baby; the old digidestined.

"What chances is there that the old digidestined have their digivices with them?" Adrian asked.

"Huh?" Joe asked, looking around. "Well, I'm not sure. How often do you see them with one?"

"I've never even seen my father with one," Adrian said. The robe figures spotted Adrian and they started off in the opposite direction. "Damn! Time me, Joe."

"Huh?" Joe said, but Adrian was already running. Despite the fact that jumping over gravestonesin his tight suit, Adrian was able to run to his father in record time. He scanned his father for some sign of a digivice, and reached into his breastpocket.

"Hey!" Jon said as Adrian pulled out an old model of a digivice. Adrian held it up to the fleeing robed strangers. The froze in their steps and were pulled back to him. One second later and Adrian wouldn't have been able to stop them.

He still had it in him.

"Whoa!" Tai said as the others ran to them. "How'd you do that?"

"Destroyed your digivice, my foot," Adrian said, shoving it back into his father's breastpocket. Tiron and Rikko laughed as they pulled their own digivices out.

"It's hard to get rid of those memories," Rikko said, tossing her red hair away from her baby's mouth.

"Who are they?" Joe said, pointing to the robed figures. Adrian looked at Tai and he nodded back. Tai yanked the hood off the smaller one while Adrian yanked the hood off the taller one.

"Holy shit!" Matt said before he could stop himself. Tai and Adrian jumped away from their sisters. Kari and Katrina pulled off their robes. They were wearing the same clothes that they had 'died' in. Kari in her yellow capri's and camera, buther brown hair seemed to have grown longeras it went past her shoulders.A flower clip was snapped in her hair to push it out of her slightly paler face. Katrina was a different matter. She was wearing blue jeans and a black/blue t-shirt. Her hair had grown too, but now one strand of hair was violet. And a large gold stud was pierced on her nose.

"Kari!" TK said. Everyone was speechless.

Where the hell did they come from?

The End

That's right. The. End. The end. Haha, it's over, get over it. Okay, not as in totally over, but I'm done with the book. I guess it won't be a trilogy after all. Stay tuned for the fourth book; Digimon 4: Rise from the Ashes. In the story I will write about Katrina, Chantal, and Izzy's birthday parties; how everyone copes with the return of two goddesses, how the prophecy is deciphered (maybe not, I'm not too sure you're ready for the prophecy yet :)), and what exactly happened to Katrina and Kari and their return home. Oh, and what happened to LadyDevimon and Gatomon? Well, read to find out!
