Legend Status #1
Hey, guys! Sorry for not updating, I've been busy... Anyway, this is from Tagiru the punk's perspective. Thanks for reading! Ps, I'm writing this on iPad, so it will suck horrifically.
Man, why do I do this? I'm getting so worried about a few days from now. I walk out of school, and go to digiquartz to hunt. All I'm greeted with is Shoutmon running like his life depends on it. "Hey, Shoutmon, what's wrong?" Gumdramon asks. "It's... Mikey... He's hurt..." I look at Gumdramon, then scoop him onto my shoulders and we run off. As he gives me directions, I notice blood on the walls. It says things like 'Master will rise' and 'Darkness vs Darkness.' All I can do is hope it's not Mikey's... We run around a corner and find a bloody mangled body. I run to it and scoop the head into my arms. "Mikey, I'm so sorry." Suddenly there's a cough, and gasping, and Mikey's eyes open. "It's...ok. Not...your...fault..." He coughs again, and we see his mouth is full of blood. "Shoutmon, Gumdramon! Take this, go get the others, NOW." I hand them my fusion loader, and both run off.
After what seems a hour later, mailbirddramon lands near us, and everyone, including Shoutmon and Gumdramon gets off. They race over, and I can tell their shocked. "Tagiru, when did this happen?" Yuu asks. I shake my head, and answer, "I just got out of school, then Shoutmon comes, then we come here, and he's like this." He coughs, and more blood pours out. I put a finger on his lips to quiet him, and Nene says to me, "Tagiru, are feeling ok?" Oh, snap. "What happened? What's wrong?" Nene scoots closer, then says, "Tagiru, school ended over an hour ago. I don't know how he's alive." I snatch Kiriha's phone he's holding out, but find she's right. School didn't end an hour ago, it ended TWO hours ago. "Let's get him to his mom. She'll know what to do." Kiriha helps me get Mikey on mailbirddramon, and we're off. Mikey keeps coughing and spitting out blood. I keep trying to quiet him, but then I realize he's trying to say something. "Did this... Rayouma... Monster, hurts... Ariu... Machine... Ren... Cen...tuar..." I lift my head, and ask, "they did this to you?" He nods, and I replay the message. They seem shocked, and I'm confused. Why would they do this? Plus it's right before, that, happening. We finally arrive, and we go upstairs to the guest room to go back to the real world. I race down the stairs, three at a time, to find Mikey's mom watching tv. She stands up, and follows me into the bedroom. Her eyes widen, then she demands, "Take him in the basement." I help Nene carry him, while Yuu calls someone. Probably Angie and Jeremy.
We're still waiting for an hour for how Mikey's doing. Maria came in not long after we took him down, they still haven't come back up. We can hear Mikey's sounds of pain, and the others are trying to distract themselves. I'm pacing in the kitchen, in front of the basement door, thinking. Mikey is my enemy, I'm soposed to kill him. It's going to be a test of loyalty or whatever. I can't hesitate either, or they'll know something's wrong. Why? Why does it have to be like this? Finally, his mom, also called Lynda, appears on the stairs. "He's sleeping, and he'll be fine." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, then sat down on the chair. He can't get better too fast, or he'll be dead. "Hey, Lynda? Listen, I don't want him to get better too fast. I mean, you can't rush perfection." She nods, and I'm glad she understands.
That night, I can't sleep, so I go onto the back porch. I pull the letter out my pocket, and read it three times, looking for a loophole. If there is any, I can't see them. I can't help it; I begin to cry. After a few minutes, I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around, and see Kiriha standing there. "You ok, Tagiru? What's going on?" He sits next to me, and I pass him the letter. As he begins to read it, I look away, tears silently streaming down my cheeks. "Tagiru..." I expect to see anger, or hostility in his gaze but instead there's simple shock. "Why didn't you tell us?" I wipe a tear away, and answer him, "I thought you would hate me, or push me away... All my other friends are fake, just doing it for cash, or because their scared... You guys are the first true friends I've ever had..." I can easily tell he's shocked, and he reads the letter once more. "What does it mean, 'true death'? I take a deep breath. "Their going to kill Mikey... And their going to make me do it..." A fresh wave of tears arupts, and he wraps a arm around me. "Can we make a fake Mikey?" He asks. I shake my head. "It's way too secure. It's like breaking into an FBI place, then times ten..." Almost out of nowhere a scream arupts. We look at each other, and he takes off in the direction of the srcream. He may be fast, but I catch up to him, easy. I pick him up, and give him a piggyback. He wraps around my neck, but I don't mind. As we get to the spot, we spot two boys, about our age, surrounded by these green things. They don't have arms, but four legs and a head. One of the boys has a sword out, as as one comes close, he'll whack it. The other is cowering behind. Neither is hurt, but they look plenty scared. "Hey, uglies! Over here!" I form two swords with my hands, and charge.
It's a few hours later, and we're heading back to our place, along with the two boys. Their names are Jinbop and Deadlox. As I ask how they got their names, they just say that's what they picked. We're about halve way there, and another boy tumbles out of the brush, right onto Jinbop. "Oh, sorry, Jin. Didn't see you there. I heard you scream, so me and Dawn came running. He gestured to someone behind him, and I saw a girl, about Nene's age, step out of the brush. I stepped forward, "You ok?" Both of them nodded, and Dawn pulled out a piece of bread and started to eat. "Hey, can I have some?" Asked Deadlox. She shruged and handed him a piece of steak. "Wait, you just carry around steak in your pockets?" Asked Kiriha. Everyone looked at him. "Don't you? Asked the new boy. We shook our heads. "But I mean, you can do what you want, I'm not stopping you. Come on, we better get back to our place before..." At that moment Nene was storming up the path. Her eyes flicked between me and Kiriha. I wondered who she was gonna start yelling at first. "Why didn't you at least tell us!" We both flinched. Jin raised his hand. "Um, they kind of came to save us, so..." He couldn't finish his sentence, because just then, something hit him in the back of the head. He spun around, and there was actually a zombie there. "No, no no, no, no!" He shouted as he beat that thing down with his bare hands. After a few moments of silence, "Jin, calm." It was the newest boy. "Oh, I just realized, I don't know your name." It turns out his name was Mitch. We started our walk back to our house, but again, we got stopped. This time, two people step out of the brush. One has what looks like a suit like astronauts wear. The other looks like he's wearing a costume, then starts gabbering something I can't understand at all. "Ok, Barney, honestly, I don't give two squids about how much dirt there is, ok?" Mitch says. He starts gabbering again, and Mitch face palms. I raise my hand, and say, "Ok, listen. There is no way we can keep all of you in one house, so some people are going to have to live in different houses until we can figure out where you can live." They look at each other, and Jin suggests, "Let's just build a house. We can get the materials ourselves, maybe do it right here." We decide to do it where me and Kiriha found Jin and Deadlox. "It's flat, and our friends that heard Jin will have an idea as to where to go." Said Dawn, settling the subject. We decided to head to Mikey's place, and we could start in the morning.
In the morning, we explained to Yuu what happened, and we headed to the decided spot. Yuu was kinda surprised as to how six kids showed up out of nowhere. Actually, they had no idea how they showed up either. As we reached the decided spot, they thought someone named Notch had something to do with it.
The guy wearing the costume yelled something, and Jin yelled, "Hit the dirt!" Mitch tackled me and Kiriha, and Jinbop tackled the astronaught and Deadlox. The costume guy hit the dirt just in time for something like a meteor to fly to close for comfort. Jin and Mitch walked over to it. "Why, Ross, why?" All I need to know, was that thing had the ultimate derpy face. "I went too fast." The grey thing said, also known as Ross.
"Ok, let's get this started, shall we?" Deadlox suggested. "Survival time, guys." Says Dawn. They look at each other, and they run in different directions. I look at Jin, and he's punching wood with his bare hands. I walk over to him and ask, "What are you doing?" Suddenly the wood disappears, but something appears in his hand, and I realize it's planks of wood. "Hey, Jin, as soon as your done with that tree, could you get some stone? Barney has a crafting table over there." He gives a thumbs up, and soon the area is clear of trees, flat, and their already building a foundation. I look at Kiriha, and I laugh at his face. "What's so funny!?" He demands. "Just your face." He makes a sound, like a growl, then punches me in the stomach. The usual happens, which is my stomach turning to stone, which means I can't move for a few seconds. "Tagiru! Are you ok?" Wait, what? Is that Kiriha? Does this mean he has a soft side? I nod and answer, "Yeah, fine. It's ok, it'll go away in a few minutes. Until then, I can't move very well." We look at the guys, who are inside. "Come on, let's go check on them." He nods, and I try to stand, ending in me failing miserably. He grabs onto my arm, and we head inside. "Hey Mitch! Jin? Deadlox?" I call out, wondering where they are. I hear a voice, and Mitch comes toppling down the stairs. "You ok?" I ask, concerned. He nods. "Jin is upstairs, and Barney and Deadlox are making a basement. You want a tour?" I shake my head. "Maybe after it completely done. We should go check on Mikey."
We went back to the house, and asked Lynda if we could see Mikey. She nodded reluctantly. As we went down. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Where Mikey was; it was a mess of wires and techie stuff I couldn't understand. I looked at Lynda, and she said, "that's him." I walked over to the side, careful not to touch anything, "Mikey? Can you hear me?" After a few seconds, I heard a small whimper. "I'll take that as a yes. Listen, I know this hurts, but we have to talk about what's been happening recently. But not right now." Another whimper. "Shush. For now, you need to rest, and then we can talk." A whine this time. "Shush. You need to rest." That was Kiriha. "We'll see you later, Mikey. Get some rest, we'll talk later." I must have jumped a foot in the air, when he actually said something. "Tagiru... Cold... So cold..." I looked at Lynda, and she spoke. "We'll get you warmed up, but you need to rest." He relaxed, and I smiled for the first time since I got that letter, which was three weeks ago. She shooed us out, and we grabbed some blankets from his room, giving them to Lynda.
"Hey, Kiriha, let's go hunting, what do you say?" He nods, and I make the portal. We walk outside, and see a digimon, except it looks like a army tank. I bring out Gumdramon, and point out the digimon to him. He nods, and we get behind it. "Dragon's Roar!" Out of nowhere, a massive golden dragon appears, and swooped toward the tank digimon. It chomps down on the digimon, and I know, that was someone's else's digimon now. But as the dust clears, I see it isn't harmed at all. In fact, I don't think it even noticed. I look at Gumdramon, and he calls out, "Jack hammer!" (Someone tell me his attacks, it's been forever since I watched the series...) and whacks it strait on the back. This time it turns towards us, and calls out, "Gun fire!" And fires three rockets towards us.
I open my eyes. I'm in the basement, with Kiriha on my left, and Mikey, still covered in wires, on my right. I look at myself, and see a needle in my arm, and a wire next to it. There's something on my neck, but I'm too weak to move. No, wait, I'm just numb all over. Duh. I get the numbness out of my body, and after a few tries, sit up. I know it would be stupid to go wandering, so I take a few deep breaths before standing to check on the others. Kiriha seems ok, so I quietly go to check on Mikey. I can't reach because on the stuff on me, so I sit back down. I don't know what time it is, but look for a clock anyways. However, I hear the basement door open. I'm too sore to lay down again, but look up, and see Lynda holding some food. "Glad your awake." She gives a small laugh. "How long have I been out?" I ask. "Not too long. Only three days." She says it like its no big deal, but I'm actually scared. I'm not human at all, so how long will Kiriha be out? For all I know he could be out for three years! "What...? Last thing I remember, was getting shot as by that digimon." She raises an eyebrow, and hands me some yellow slop. I look up at her, and she laughs. "If you don't eat it, I'll shove it down your throat." She walks over to Kiriha, and gently spoon feeds him. "Can I take this stuff off? It's starting to hurt..." I look over at her, and she shakes her head. "Please? It hurts..." Honestly, I was exaggerating. It didn't hurt, it just was really annoying. "That sucks. Now eat your food." I'm guessing that's a no. "Anyways, Maria has found someone to help us with Mikey." My neck cracked as my head shot up to look at her. "Who is it!?" I demand. "Her sister, Bridgett."
Sup dudes! I know I haven't updated in a while, and I know I suck. Thanks for reminding me. Btw, if I don't get a couple, I will make one myself. Thanks!
