Chapter 2 Izzy's Urgent Message
A teenage boy sat cross legged in front of his laptop. His fingers danced across the keyboard as he furiously attempted to win his computer game.
"Beep Beep!" the laptop sang. A message window popped up.
"A new message? Probably from Joe." The boy said to himself, "I'll check it out later." He clicked the close button on the window and returned to his game.
Going over the same level a hundred times frustrated the boy and he ran his fingers through his crimson short hair and sighed.
"I guess I'll check out that message." He minimised his game and opened up a new window that had his inbox. Scrolling down the list of emails, he came across the new email.
Friday 2005
Izzy,
We have a really big crisis and I need you and the digidestined, all of you, to meet at my house and I'll discuss it then. Please do hurry.
Gennai.
"I wonder what's wrong. I better email the others." Izzy clicked on the 'New Message' button and quickly typed out an email explaining that he needed all of them to meet at the computer room on Saturday at 10am. He clicked send and then sat back. Izzy leant thoughtfully on his elbow.
"I wonder what kind of big crisis this is." He wondered. He opened up his game again and furiously pressed on the keyboard. It wasn't any good because Izzy's mind was elsewhere.
"Izzy, dear, shouldn't you be in bed now?" His mum appeared at the door. He grinned sheepishly.
"Yeah I will in a minute." Izzy clicked out of all his windows and then turned off his computer. Turning off the light, he crept into bed.
The next morning, Izzy logged onto his beloved laptop and checked for emails from the other digidestined.
Izzy,
Got your message; Kari, T.K and Matt know as well. See you then!
Tai
"Well at least they know." Izzy muttered to himself. Suddenly there was a knock on Izzy's door.
"Come in." He called. A tall boy with long blue hair walked in.
"Hey Izzy. Your mum let me in." He sat down on Izzy's chair, "I decided to come with you to the computer room."
"Hey Joe. I'll be right back, hold on." Izzy grabbed a pair of shorts and a tee and walked into his bathroom.
A few moments later Izzy appeared freshly dressed and ready to go.
"Do you still play computer games?" Izzy asked.
"Not often. I'm too busy most of the time." Joe replied. Izzy moved around the room, packing the necessities for the trip to the digiworld, including his beloved laptop.
"Are you sure you've got everything?" Joe mused.
"I'm pretty sure…"Izzy said before realising that Joe was just teasing him. He glared at him and shoved all his junk into a bag.
"Let's go." Izzy turned and walked out the door, Joe close behind. As he passed his mother, Izzy told her Joe and him were going to the library.
"How do you lie so easily to your mum?" Joe inquired.
"I didn't lie, I really do need to go to the library and return some great books." Izzy stated seriously back at Joe. Joe laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head with his hand.
They walked on steadily to the library.
"So…do you have any idea of what kind of problem there is in the digiworld?" Izzy asked to break the silence.
"I don't know, but I bet, since it's Gennai, some bad digimon needs to be destroyed." Joe smiled lopsidedly. Izzy entered the library and quickly dropped off his books and then they walked out and in the direction of the school.
Izzy and Joe quietly entered the school gate and crept along to the computer room. Inside they found their good friends, Kari, T.K, Matt, Sora and Tai.
"Where's everyone else?" Joe asked.
"Mimi said she'd be a little late and Yolei was with her." Tai shrugged, "I guess that Cody and Davis are late as well." He glanced at Sora, who was sitting beside Matt. They all stood around patiently waiting for Cody, Davis, Yolei and Mimi to come.
"You think they even got the message?" Kari asked.
"I'm sure they did, but they just want to annoy us by making us wait." T.K smiled down at her.
A second later, Cody, Davis, Yolei and Mimi burst through the door, panting.
"Sorry we're late, Yolei just insisted that she bring practically her whole store with her." Davis stated in between breaths.
"But you were the one who wanted food!" Yolei exclaimed.
"I didn't mean for you to bring the whole store!" Davis shot back.
"Oh be quiet, both of you. Let's just get to the digiworld!" Cody exploded. Everyone stared at Cody. He wasn't known to blow up so suddenly.
"OK." Izzy shrugged and activated the digiworld. They all flew through the computer.
"So uh Izzy…do you have any idea of where this guy's house is?" Yolei asked.
"That's Gennai and he sent me a map to get to his house." Izzy fumbled around his bag, looking for the map. Tentomon reached in and picked out a small sheet of paper.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
"Yeah." Izzy replied sheepishly. He straightened the map.
"So according to this map, we should be heading north-east." Izzy calculated. For once Izzy led the digidestined to Gennai's house. The walk was long and uncomfortable. Mimi opened her mouth to speak.
"Uh Mimi? If you're going to complain…please don't waste your breath." Joe pleaded. Mimi flushed and shut her mouth. Little conversations brewed around the digidestined, but Izzy wasn't a part of them. He was too preoccupied in making sure that he got all of them to Gennai's house.
Finally after what seemed like years of walking the digidestined arrived at a hidden, neat little cottage. Izzy wearily reached up to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened and Izzy nearly fell in. A short figure, with a small white pony tail at the top of his head, appeared.
"Hello! Did you have any trouble finding the house?" He asked warmly taking in the sight of the tired slumped teenagers. Kari giggled at the irony of it.
"I'm taking that as a yes. Come in and sit by the fire. I'll explain the problem soon enough." Gennai stepped back inside. Exhausted, the digidestined followed the short man into a cosy lounge room.
"Now have a seat and I'll bring the scrolls." Gennai disappeared and the digidestined spread out across the room. When Gennai returned he was amused to see where the digidestined had sat. Sitting on a three-seater couch were Matt, then Sora and then Tai. Opposite to them were T.K, in the middle was Kari and then Davis. Spread out on bean bags and other odd chairs were the other digidestined.
Gennai spread out the scrolls in front of him and began to tell the digidestined the problem.
"After you defeated Malomyotismon, a new evil rose. He was Malomyotismon's son. Tyrantmyotismon." There was an eerie silence and Izzy leaned forward, eager to hear the problem.
"It turns out that Tyrantmyotismon is very dangerous; much worse than Malomyotismon. The legendary guardians were forewarned about this and they created this scroll for me. So that when the new evil arose that I would tell you about him and tell you of the power that Azulongmon and Zhuqiamon will give." Gennai finished.
"Who is the one that they will give the power to?" Izzy asked. Gennai skimmed through the small print. Dismayed, he looked up.
"It appears that it's been rubbed out." They all groaned.
"Well then how do we know who will save us from this Tyrantmyotismon?" Tai demanded. Gennai looked down again. His face lit up.
"It says that if you journey deep into the heart of the Lianamon's track, you will find an old stone that finishes the prophecy." Gennai closed the scroll, "So I guess you know where you're going tomorrow!" He said brightly.
