(Tai POV)
"Alphamon..." Agumon was still furious even though it was nighttime already and we had just come back from Dinner celebrating my graduation. Downtown was still a mess so it took over an hour to go eat and an hour back. So it was already close to midnight and I watched him sit on my bed holding his claws together growling.
"Agumon, how do you know it was the same one?" I took off my shirt and I was getting ready to go take a shower but I was just looking at him if he was crazy. He jumped up and looked at me pointing his claw.
"Look Tai you might not get it but that Alphamon's going to pay!"
"But he saved you Agumon, shouldn't you chill a bit." I put my hand on Agumon's head making him look down a
nd nod.
"Fine I will...but something about that Alphamon just feels familiar to the last one!" Before I could tell him anything else, Gatomon punched the door before Kari opened it furious.
"Agumon will you quiet down! I'm trying to sleep!" The two of us gulped seeing Gatomon mad at him making Kari laugh sheepishly.
"Tai Sora's on the phone, something about you needing to learn how to pick up your cellphone?" I laughed forgetting that I had my phone on vibrate and I took the chance to mess with her.
"Tell her I'll call her after my shower, now you can talk to your boyfriend on the phone in peace."
"He's not my boyfriend!" Kari's face went red and she slammed the door leaving my room. I laughed and rubbed Agumon's head before getting my towel.
"Just relax buddy. Maybe a good night's rest will help you relax a bit."
(Sora POV)
Funny...Matt and I were supposed to have been together tonight since we had planned to do that weeks ago. But then he cheated on me. And I don't mean like I saw him with another girl, I saw him KISSING another girl PASSIONATELY at one of his concerts. He was calling me day and night for several days so I did the smart thing and blocked him. Then he started calling my house phone at the same time every day and I've had to keep a note taped to the phone saying not to answer it. How can anyone ever justify that? How? Now I'm just waiting for Tai to call me back because other than Biyomon, he's the only one who's been there for me. Now, I'm just laying down on my bed while Biyomon was sleeping and when I got sleepy too, he finally called me back.
"Hello?"
"Sora, what's up?" I let out a quiet sigh of relief hearing his voice on the other line...recently hearing his voice really makes my day, but he's still my stupid Tai. Wait did I just say MY stupid Tai?!
"We need to talk about today."
"No kidding, Agumon's still mad about that Alphamon showing up."
"What's up with that anyway?"
"Dunno, I was gonna go see Daigo tomorrow to ask him about that. Can you do me a favor and go see Gennai?"
"Sure no problem, what about Davis and Ken?"
"I'll take Davis with me tomorrow, you talk to Ken."
"Alright then, but who was that anyway if he protected them like that?"
"Dunno...I hope it's something good."
(Kari POV)
"I'm going out!" I was sitting on the couch watching TV when Tai suddenly bolted out the door. Normally I wouldn't find that strange but considering High school's over and he's got no Soccer, this time was weird. But no biggie, that means I can go to my party tonight without him freaking out.
"Around what time will you be back Kari?" My mom came back inside from hanging our laundry on the balcony while I answered my friend Yolei who was going to the party too.
"Maybe 11-ish?"
"Will there be any-"
"No! Mom I promise there won't be any form of drugs or liquor there!"
"I was going to say parents but great to know that too." I should really learn to let my mom finish sometimes.
(Tai POV)
"Well Tai I don't particularly know about Alphamon, but I do know that there's typically rivalries between Digimon SPECIES. So there's a chance Agumon's reaction could stem from it." The three of us were sitting in a small cafe talking about the Alphamon situation and Daigo was explaining to us the most that he knew. Surprisingly Davis wasn't scarfing down any sweets since Veemon was in a pretty bad shape after yesterday.
"But why? I don't see why AGUMON of all Digimon would be like that." Davis was right, Agumon was never someone to hold a grudge so Daigo's explanation couldn't have been a possibility.
"Well...it could come from one thing-"
(Sora POV)
"Alpha and Omega?" Ken and I were talking to Gennai in his dojo in the Digital World hoping to get some info on Alphamon. But he did just tell us some really important information.
"Yes, you see Omnimon and Alphamon are just two of TWELVE Mega-Level Digimon that are the sacred guardians of the Digital World. Magnamon is one too, but they have long since vanished leaving their duty to the Sovereigns. The fact that Agumon and Gabumon could combine into Omnimon and Veemon could Golden Armor Digivolve into Magnamon is a sign that they will return one day...but that doesn't quite mean it'll be soon. In total that's just three of them but Alphamon is the leader of the Royal Knights." Gennai explained these Royal Knights to us making me picture imagine what these guys could look like. "Omnimon was always his second in command but the two of them had a falling out before their disappearance."
"Define falling out." Ken was right, what happened to me and Matt could be considered a falling out. But a falling out between DIGIMON needs a good explanation.
"As in they had two different ways of defending the Digital World, this caused a rift between the Royal Knights with the only one not participating in the battle being Magnamon. I guess you could consider it a Civil War between them, one by one these battles led to the disappearance of a Royal Knight. Until only Alphamon and Omnimon were left and the two of them battled for days, maybe weeks, maybe even months. But nevertheless their battle was suddenly over and all the Royal Knights disappeared." Gennai finished telling us the story and I recorded it all to show Tai and the others...but there was still a question on my mind.
"But what about Magnamon? You said he didn't take part in it."
"That's still a mystery, something must've happened that turned Magnamon's power back into the Golden Digiegg of Miracles."
(Davis POV)
Wow what Mr. Nishijima said was like something out of a video game! Thirteen Mega-Level Digimon?! That sounds so exciting, I hope Veemon can become one of them!
"So all you know is that Omnimon and Alphamon caused a split in between the Royal Knights?" Tai asked and I could tell he was probably thinking Agumon was probably the same one from back then. Well then again I would too if Veemon was probably that old or that big a part of the Digital World's history. Then again that would be totally SICK!
"Sorry Tai but that's all I know."
"Well he was a big help." Tai and I were walking back to his place to wait for Sora and Ken and I was trying to lighten the mood a bit. Tai's been acting a little weird for the past couple of month, especially with me. So I guess it's time to grow a pair and ask him. "Tai what's up with you and me? You've been acting weird for a while."
"What do you mean?"
"Dude! Each time I see you, you're always avoiding me!"
"I haven't."
"DUDE!"
"Fine! I feel bad because of what happened on Christmas!" Wait...is he serious right now? Tai Kamiya's been acting weird because of THAT?
"Waitwaitwaitwait, you've been like that because of what happened on Christmas? Tai I've been over that since January."
"Yeah but-"
"Tai, I've accepted I never had a chance with your sister. She's still one of my best friends though. Either way I've had a girlfriend for a few weeks now." The speed that Tai's jaw dropped would make Raidramon jealous when I brought up my girlfriend.
"G-G-G-G-G-G-"
"Girlfriend? Yeah, remember Mimi's friend Jennifer that came from New York to visit her during Spring Break? Well she and I hit it off and I asked her to be my girlfriend a few weeks ago and she said yes." If Tai's jaw kept dropping I swear it's gonna fall out of his head. Is it really that hard to believe I have a girlfriend?!
"C-Congrats man!"
"Thanks."
"But aren't you worried about long distance problems? Like if she cheats on you?"
"Nah, Mimi said she's never been known to be a cheater. She's loyal to the very end." I swear everybody thinks my relationship's screwed! What the hell is so bad about me having a girlfriend?! I'm above average even though my grades don't show that!
"Speaking of which...are T.K. and Kari actually dating?"
"Well...that I don't particularly know. They've been hanging out a lot recently, but there's not exactly any clear yes or no that they're dating. I mean they are going to the movies tonight." And THAT was a big lie. I know about the party she and Yolei are going to and she made me promise to make up some excuse that she and T.K. are going somewhere together so that overprotective big brother Tai doesn't freak out. Now if only they knew that T.K. was dating a Cheerleader from their grade instead...oh man that ought to be a hoot to watch.
(Tai POV)
"No way...that's so...Agumon do you remember any of that?" All of us were in the living room and Sora played back the video she recorded at Gennai's. It was impossible to believe any of that, but Davis got so excited hoping that Veemon is that Magnamon meanwhile Agumon looked like he was trying to remember something.
"I remember part of it faintly, but I do remember Alphamon. And I will never forgive him for what he did."
"What DID he do?"
"I'm still trying to piece that together...maybe Gabumon could remember it too." Agumon said raising his claw making Sora and I gulp realizing what that meant. We had to involve Matt too. I could ask T.K. but I don't want to interrupt his and Kari's date. Well there's only one thing to do, I got up and walked to the house phone to make a call.
"Hello, Mr. Ishida? Yeah it's Tai can you do me a favor and tell Matt to come by my house when he gets back from band practice? And to bring Gabumon too." I hope I didn't just dig my own grave doing this.
