The song Pieces by Red helped me write the first part of this chapter.. :'(


After the smoke cleared Kari let out a blood curdling scream.

Sora's hands covered over her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes. In front of her Matt had fallen to his hands and knees, tears streaming down his cheeks as his body trembled furiously. Tsunimon frowned and nuzzled against his partner sadly. T.K. had gone completely white and his stomach tied into a sharp knot.

"Tai...Ma-" Kari fainted, but T.K. quickly caught her with his free arm. Gatomon looked away trying not to cry, her ears hanging low.

Raiden looked out over at his motionless Aunt and Uncle, he reached out his hand, wanting to touch them but T.K. pulled him close against him and Kari. Raiden buried his face on his father's shoulder and started to cry. Dorumon looked up at his tamer and whimpered, Patamon landing beside him, tears rolling down his face silently.

Kimi watched her father and a tear slid down her cheek. She took a step back, bumping into Ryo. She looked up at him and he looked at her sadly but put his arms around her reassuringly. Emiko was crying before the dust had even cleared, but now her heart ached even more. Just the way they looked was so beautiful yet unsettling. She turned away from the others and hurled. Kudamon frowned and hugged Emiko's leg.

Takato' body shook as he stared upon his mother and Uncle. They laid there, Max's head more up on Tai's chest now. Both faces covered in dirt and bruises. A stream of blood was flowing out of Tai's ear, and blood dripped out of Max's slightly opened mouth. Their eyes were closed, and Tai's hand rested over his twin sister's; showing that he must not of died instantly and he wanted to hold his sister's hand one last time.

Takato could feel his father's heart beat. It had gotten so slow he almost thought he was dying as well. Izzy stared at his wife, his first love, the mother of his only child and his breathing started to hitch. He squeezed his son tight against him, then hung his head and he started to cry. Takato had never heard his father cry before; it was such a deep, despairing sound.

"Mom..my...Uncle...Tai.." Takato choked out, and when they didn't respond his tears finally broke free. "Mom.." He cried.

"What a pathetic waste of Digimon DNA."

Takato looked up at Huimaki, seeing he was staring down at his dead mother with disgust. The 12 year old boy's nose crinkled up as he glared menacingly at the wicked creature.

"You!" Takato spat, pulling away from his father, rage clear in his voice. Huimaki looked down at him. "You will pay for this!"

Huimaki laughed, Matt now also glaring up at him.

"You think I am afraid of you, little boy?"

Takato's eyes turned red, and the weather started to change, his lips almost twitching into a smirk. "You will be."

Takato tilted his head back and let out a scream that soon turned into a roar. The wind's picked up around him and thunder sounded in the sky. He fell to his knees as he felt his insides start to move and rearrange. Sweat dripped off of him and he breathed heavily as he glared at Huimaki. His red eyes now glowing and covering even the whites and pupil.

"Oh no.." Emiko frowned, watching Takato as she held her stomach.

"Patamon." T.K. nodded down at his partner.

"Right." The little batpig glared at their enemy.

Takato let out another scream/roar as his body twitched. He dung his fingernails into the dirt and he let out a deep growl. The winds had picked up so much now that everyone had to block their face, even Huimaki. Soon he was encased around a digital data egg and Ryo and Kimi watched with awe. Matt had crawled over to Tai and Max's bodies. He hesitantly touched Tai's arm and flinched from its already coldness. He frowned, fighting back anymore tears. His blue eyes then went over to Max. He softly pushed her long dark brown hair away from her face, then carefully caressed her face. A tear had escaped and he sniffled, quickly taking his hand back and wiping the tear away.

What burst through that digital egg was huge...

"DARKWOLFMON!" Takatos voice had turned deep and somewhat rugged. But he was no longer Takato.

Now, in his place was a large black wolf who was even larger then Garurumon. He had 5 red stripes that wrapped around his tail, then 4 red tiger looking stripes along his back. His underbelly up to his chest were crimson red as well, and the tips of his pointy ears and the scruff around his face were red too; including a red diamond on his forehead. He snarled, showing off his pearly white fangs, also sporting two long saber-like teeth for K9s. His front left paw was the only one to sport red with purple claw, while the other black paws sported red claws. The fur on the back of his neck was large and feathery, and where his goggles once were around his neck, was replaced with a thick silver chain.

A flash of horror crossed of Huimaki's face but he soon glared at DarkWolfmon, regaining himself. "Do you think a mutt like you can defeat me? Hahaha, look what happened to your mother when she tried." He gave DarkWolfmon a sadistic smirk.

DarkWolfmon raised the fur on its neck and back. "I'm not just going to defeat you. I'm going to kill you!"


RIP Tai & Max, you will be greatly missed :'( Writing the start of this chapter really got to me...I hope I didn't make too many people cry. But as promised, you finally got to see Takato's Digimon form. K9's must run in the family haha. But do you think Takato would really kill someone? Maybe being a Digimon is too hard for him? I hope the others will be okay also...come back to see the epic battle on,

Digimon: Digital Aftermath!
