Hi my name's Taichi Kamiya, but everybody calls me Tai. Right now I'm watching my best friend fight to the death with his "fated" rival. I guess the way to understand this is to go back a few weeks ago during my final game of the Soccer season.
"Tai I'm open!" It was the last five minutes of the game and our team and a rival school's were tied at 3 points each. Right now my teammate Sousuke was calling for me to pass him the ball but really he wasn't open so I kept running. I took my chance and went for the goal...what a mistake that ended up to be. I made the goal but I ended up twisting my ankle at the same time. They literally had to help me off the field.
"Tai do you want me to make you anything?" My mom as always offered to make me some dinner since I had missed it celebrating with my team...thank god we ate already, my mom's cooking's more terrifying than the Digimon we've fought. My mom and dad were going out anyway so I dodged a bullet there, my little sister Kari was out with her boyfriend...well she hasn't admitted they're together yet but all of us know she's dating our friend T.K. So that leaves me here alone on the couch to watch some TV. Well, I can't say alone now can I?
"Tai I'm hungry!" I started laughing seeing a little yellow dinosaur run out of my bedroom and start jumping raising his arms. This guy's the best friend I was telling you about, his name's Agumon and he's a Digimon, short for Digital Monster from the Digital World. It was my last game before graduation the following week so I took the time while Agumon raided the fridge to think about my soccer scholarship to University since my grades are average enough to pass now and keep it. And to think about High School drama. My friends Matt and Sora have been...or WERE dating for the past two years and Sora caught him cheating at one of his concerts and then while I tried to cheer her up and give the guy another chance, he saw us hugging while she finished crying and he took it the wrong way. I don't even know why this kind of drama exists...can't people just let a guy explain before going off on him?! Why's this important you ask? This is what's leading up to what's about to happen...let's skip to Graduation day.
"Good luck in the future Tai, feel free to come by and ask me anything if you need to in the future." The guy that's talking to me right now is the Calligraphy teacher Mr. Nishijima. He's one of the original Digidestined that fought the Dark Masters, I know what he meant by this. He doesn't mean JUST for school or my future, he has some knowledge on the Digital World so we turn to him when we need some advice. He's basically our mentor and guide when we don't have Gennai.
"Will do Mr. Nishijima."
"Just call me Daigo now...oh and Sora's over there, go talk to her." He was right, Sora was talking to some of her friends giving me a chance to look around for Matt...luckily he was talking to his bandmates far away from her so I took Daigo's advice and I went to go do just that. She really looks amazing today, I've known her since we were kids and she's never looked as beautiful as she does today.
"Um...Sora?" Sora and her friends stopped talking as they turned to look at me walking to them. I have no clue what she said to them but I guess it was something mixed with bye because the four of them walked away and left me and Sora there by ourselves.
"So...you excited now? You always complained about High school and now it's over."
"Yeah, how are you holding up since the break-up?" I knew this wasn't the question to ask on a day like today but I had to since she wouldn't answer my texts or calls. I knew it was hard for her since she looked pretty upset when I asked her that but being the brave trooper I know she is, she answered me like she always does.
"I'm fine Tai, you and Biyomon were really there for me and I appreciate it. Especially since you and Matt are closer than the two of us." Wow I can't believe she thinks that, other than Agumon I consider Sora to be my best friend. I know some people would argue Matt is but really Sora's my best friend.
"Don't worry Sora, you're my best friend and I don't like seeing you or anyone else upset like that."
"Awww...stupid Tai." She's called me that so much it doesn't even feel like an insult at this point, it feels more like her way of saying "I love you." I gave her a hug and I was getting ready to leave but then I noticed Matt was looking at us and getting ready to walk to us. But suddenly the sky went red, and this is where the story really begins. When a sky goes red then you know something bad's about to happen and boy was my gut feeling right. From my school you could see a big explosion happening in downtown Odaiba and since I'm a Digidestined, I had to go see what was happening and so did Sora and I have a feeling Matt did too.
"Desperado Blaster!" We got to Downtown and we saw Paildramon, the DNA Digivolution betweeen ExVeemon and Stingmon, fighting a GranKuwagamon. And from where Sora and I stood we could see Ken Ichijouji and Davis Motomiya yelling at Paildramon. Those two are the next generation of Digidestined and Davis especially is their leader and he's my junior as well. Each time I see him I always feel bad, Davis had a really bad heartbreak around Christmas time when he saw Kari and T.K. kiss under a mistletoe. But right before Paildramon could digivolve to Imperialdramon, GranKuwagamon grabbed him and threw him hard into the street turning him back to Chibomon and Leafmon, the baby forms of Veemon and Wormmon.
"CHIBOMON/LEAFMON!"
"Tai!"
"Sora!" Right on time. Biyomon had flown to my apartment and got Agumon and the two of them were currently coming to me and Sora.
"Alright guys time to Digivolve!" Sora and I held up our Digivices making white lines shine from their screens and hit the two putting them in two giant white Digieggs.
"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO!"
"BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE TO!"
"Dimension Scissors!" GranKuwagamon flew at the two Digieggs with his pincers glowing but thankfully their Digivolution ended at the last moment with Greymon and Birdramon breaking out of the Digieggs.
"GREYMON!"
"BIRDRAMON!" Birdramon grabbed Greymon and flew up and out of GranKuwagamon's attack and the two of them flew down getting ready to launch their attacks.
"Nova Blast!"
"Meteor Wing!"
The two fired their attacks at GranKuwagamon hitting him and sent him flying into the ground making him roar in pain. Sora and I began to cheer but then we remembered that GranKuwagamon's a Mega and an attack like that would barely hurt him.
"Why you...DIE!" GranKuwagamon stood up and charged at our Digimon angrily making Sora and I yell at them to digivolve again but something landed in front of them and stopped GranKuwagamon in his tracks. I looked up to see a jet black and gold Digimon we haven't seen in over a year and another important person in this story: Alphamon...except this one's different. We fought a different Alphamon last year but this one was just a bit smaller than him and a bit thinner but he was still gigantic like the other one. I could feel the anger coming off Greymon seeing Alphamon who raised his hand making a green circle appear in front of him.
"Soul Digitalization!" We all watched a green beam fire from the circle and hit GranKuwagamon destroying him in one hit. Before we could react...Alphamon disappeared without a trace. But that was only the beginning.
"TRANSCENDENT SWORD!"
"OMNIMON NO!" Sora and Davis held me back as I watched Omnimon and Alphamon fly at each other with their weapons ready to attack each other. "YUTO STOP THEM!" I looked to my side to see Alphamon's partner who was being held back by Kari and Ken.
There's no stopping the duel between Alpha and Omega...I learned that that day.
