Chapter eight: Justice At Last
"This is going to be fun." Said Purple Guy, his smile so creepy, it could scare the crap out of you.
"Leave us alone!" Exclaimed Augumon, charging at the enemy. Purple Guy raised his axe and threw it like a boomerang into Augumon's skull.
"Augumon!" Yelled Tai, anger flowing through him. Augumon was so damaged from the axe that he turned back into a digi-egg, releasing the axe to let it fly back into Purple Guy's hand.
"Noooooo!" Yelled Tai as he picked up a piece of wooden debris and ran for Purple Guy. Purple Guy dodged all of Tai's attacks and grabbed him and threw him against a wall. The force of Tai hitting the wall knocked him out temporarily. Purple Guy then turned to look at his son. Scared of his father, Todd started to back up and ended up backing into a bench and tripped over it, crushing it in his own weight, the bear's endoskeleton was too weak to be able to lift itself up in time. Meanwhile, Tai was starting to wake up again.
"Leave them alone dad!" Exclaimed Sora who was able to find the strength to stand up. Her dad then walked over to her.
"You are useless to me now, especially in this state, I might as well kill you too." He said. He then picked her up by the throat, he then swung his axe around, and swung it straight round into Sora's legs, cutting them clean off. He then threw her to the ground, luckily, Todd was able to catch her in his rubbery arms and then he covered up the stubs on Sora's legs to try and slow down the bleeding. Tai was able to stand up and he ran for Purple Guy again.
"Leave her out of this!" Yelled Tai as he ran straight for him. Purple Guy then slapped him across the face to drag his attention to the stinging. He then picked him up from the top of his shirt and brought him up so they could be face to face.
"You listen here and listen well. You are not going to get in the way of killing my daughter." He said. All of a sudden, his face shifted from a stern angry face to a terrified face. Tai turned his head slightly to see what was behind him and what he saw was a slumped over golden bear animatronic that was not there before.
"J-J-James?" Stuttered Purple Guy, still holding onto Tai. The golden bear then stood up and slowly walk towards them.
"Put. The boy. Down." It said.
"Brother." Said Sora with all the strength she could muster up. Purple Guy then dropped Tai on the ground. Tai then crawled over to Augumon's egg, picked it up, and then crawled over to what was left of Sora. The golden bear then grabbed onto Purple Guy's arm and started to drag him out of the room. Only a few seconds later, they heard the door barricade being knocked down. 3 police men came through the door all holding guns. One of the police men went over to Tai, who had just made it into the main party room, and escorted him outside where he was greeted with an ambulance, more police, peri medics, the rest of the animatronics, the owner of the place, the rest of the Digimon, everyone's parents, and Kari. Tai walked out the door and behind him more police and peri medics went in.
"Tai!" Yelled his parents as they came running over, "What were you thinking?!"
"I'm so sorry, I just wanted to save Kari!" Replied Tai starting to cry.
"Come Tai, you're standing in the way." Said his mom. They stood waiting to see everyone come out. They eventually saw Todd and James come out escorted by some police, and then more police carrying the bodies of the dead Digidestind, then a police man holding Purple Guys hands to get her behind his back.
"You won't get away with this you little sh*t's!" He was yelling as he came out the door. Tai was starting to get scared for everyone but Sora had came out.
"Tai, where's Sora?" Asked Kari. She didn't know about Sora's legs.
"S-She's s-still in t-there?!" Replied Tai, starting to cry again. Fortunately, two peri medics with a patient rolling table thing came out and on the table was Sora, connected up to a thing pumping liquids into her. That night, everything had changed.
It had been one month since the incident at the pizzeria and not a lot had happened since then. Well, if you consider four funerals and a serious blood transfusion for Sora not much then yeah. Augumon had turned back into Koromon and Sora was still in the hospital and had nowhere to go, for her dad had been sent to maximum security prison and her mom was killed by him. Tai decided to pay Sora a surprise visit at the hospital.
"Sora, you have a visiter." Said the doctor as he poked his head through the door of the hospital room.
"Okay, you can bring them in." Replied Sora, laying in bed, like she always is. A few seconds later Tai walked in the room with Koromon in his hands.
"Hey Sora, how're you feeling?" Asked Tai, he was a bit shy for he hadn't seen her in a while.
"All is well, I guess." She replied, still very weak from the events a month ago. Tai went and sat at the end of Sora's bed and put down Koromon.
"So what's going to happen to you, where are you going to live?" Asked Tai, starting to blush.
"They said that I might get moved to a fostering home." Replied Sora, starting to blush as well.
"Well, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to stay with us until your dad gets let out of prison."
"I would love to live with you for a while."
"What's going to happen to your legs?"
"I'm going to be in a wheelchair, but that doesn't matter, as long as you except me the same way."
"Of course I will."
"Ooooo, looks like some people I know are in a loving mood." A new voice had entered the conversation.
"Hey, don't say that Koromon!" Said Tai, a bit mad at Koromon for saying that.
"No, he's right." Said Sora. Tai just blushed more and gave her an awkward smile. "I'm still really sorry about not telling you the truth sooner."
"Don't be." Replied Tai.
"Are you ever going to go back to the pizzeria?" Asked Sora, trying to change the subject.
"Never alone," Replied Tai, "But maybe you can come with me."
"I'd love to."
