The Argument
- Alright, another chapter up and running. So enjoy and please review
Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico;
It was early in the morning, and the group of soldiers had just reached the Kirtland Air Base and had left the plane to go tell their families they were all right. Will had just come out of the office he was using to call his wife back in New York. He sighed; "It really sucks having to listen to your wife after she thinks you were dead. Its reminds you of how much sadness she must have had." He sat down, and Timothy sighed.
"I'll go in next." And with that he entered the empty office. The office was very well kept and up to date. There was a Macintosh Computer and a desk and two chairs. Timothy sighed and walked over to the phone and pressed 0 to get the operator. "Hello operator, can you connect me to Lexington, New York. Outside of West Point…alright thanks." He awaited an answer on the phone as the operator put him through.
Outside of the office, the other soldiers were looking at the video David took of the attack. They all got a glimpse of the monster, and David got a strange feeling of familiarity from the monster. "I know I've seen that thing before…but where?"
Just then Timothy came out of the office, a serious face drawn on his face. "What's up; your wife happy you are alright?"
Timothy didn't flinch, "Tim man…are you alright?" Will asked. Timothy sighed; "My sons are missing…have been for days."
Digital World
Jake was leading the group through the forest, as they searched for a place to stop for the night, though he still believed Zak should've been the leader. However, Zak just kept denying that title and insisted Jake take it instead. Agumon proved to be quite powerful, though, so he felt he could take the title of leader deservingly.
Kyle suddenly stopped walking and looked up into the sky, blankly. "What's wrong Kyle?" Gabumon asked. Kyle continued looking up blankly.
"Our parents are probably wondering what happened to us." Kyle said sadly, still not taking his eyes down from looking up at the sky. "I miss them." He said sadly.
"Hey guys, what do you miss most about our world? I mean…what do you want to do most when we get back?" TJ asked.
Everybody went into a state of silent thought, Jake answered first. "I miss playing soccer and beating up all of the teams in our league." There was continued silence. Then Zak cleared his throat,
"The thing I really want to do is sit down and watch the Giants play or watch clips on youtube."
"Who are the Giants, and what is youtube?" Gomamon asked. Zak laughed a bit, "You'll see eventually."
"I miss playing lacrosse." Megan said sadly, "I am top scorer on the team." Next came Alex, "I just miss school in general, hanging with my friends."
"Well, I can try to help you with that, I want to be your friend." Biyomon said smiling and with kindness in her voice. Alex smiled at her, "I know, and you are my friend, I just miss the rest of them."
TJ talked next, "I miss the Dairy Queen near our house and hw the woman who works there always gives me extra ice cream." They all sighed sadly, and just noticed it was getting quite dark out. "Jake, where should we stop?" Agumon asked. Jake shrugged, "Here is good." They all stopped.
TJ and Patamon both yawned and lay down on the ground, falling asleep almost immediately "Good night TJ." Patamon said after taking a big yawn. "Good night Patamon." And they both went asleep. Kyle went over to him and lay next to his brother. Gabumon followed suit and lay next to Kyle. Next, Megan walked over to Kyle, kissed him and walked away to sleep near a tree with Gomamon. Zak saw this and his mouth dropped open and he suddenly got angry. He couldn't believe that he just saw Megan kiss Kyle, of all people. He walked over to a tree and sat down; head in his arms. Gomamon followed him and Jake and Agumon did as well. Jake did, wanting to make sure he was all right.
"You really like Kyle, don't you?" Palmon asked. Megan smiled and nodded before going to sleep.
Alex went over to a corner and sat down; as Biyomon came over she began pondering how she could have an impact on the fate of two worlds. "Alex, are you alright? You've been quiet." Biyomon asked Alex once she got over to her. "I am just thinking." Biyomon looked at Alex contently, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just…nothing." And with that she lay down; keeping her eyes glued to the sky, filled with questions.
"Why us?" and "What do we have to offer?" were the main questions she was asking herself in her head. She eventually felt her eyelids feel heave and she went to sleep.
Zak was still upset and Jake had to come over to talk to him. "Gomamon, can I talk to Zak in private?"
Gomamon nodded and went over to Agumon to talk to him. Jake turned back to Zak and sat next to him. "Hey man, you all right?" he asked. Zak shook his head.
"I thought she wasn't into Kyle, I mean…how could anyone be? He's such a jerk." Zak sighed in a depressed manner. "I just wish I wasn't afraid of asking Megan out."
Jake sighed shook his head, hey you have to have more confidence in yourself man, I mean…you need it to accomplish things you want to do."
Zak gave Jake a look, "Isn't it a bit hypocritical of you to say I should have more confidence when you don't have much yourself about being our leader?" Zak said seriously, leaving Jake silenced and in thought. Zak stood up, stretched and looked down at Jake. "Look, you've got to accept yourself as our leader, because if you don't and we fail you will wander aimlessly through your life, miserably, wondering what could have been…if you live to." At that Zak walked off, leaving Jake to think about what Zak had just said.
Alex was still awake when she looked over and saw Biyomon asleep next to her, she smiled, "Wow, these creatures will protect us no matter what the cost is." She lay back against the hard, grassy ground. "I just hope I will prove worthy."
Lexington, New York
It was early in the morning, and Chris was riding his motorbike through Jake's neighborhood after going over to Jake's house to make sure his mother was all right.
However, he himself wasn't 100 percent sure he was all right. He stopped at a stop sign and looked both ways before continuing down the road. He saw no cars and proceeded to take a right.
On the way down he saw Bella outside of her house, shooting hoops into her basked in her driveway. She heard Chris' bike, turned and waved; smiling at him. Chris stopped his bike at the mouth of her driveway and stepped off. He removed his helmet, a green motorcycle helmet with a visor, and walked over to Jake's cousin.
"Hey…you're Chris right?" Bella asked. Chris nodded, "Yeah, we met at Jake's birthday a year ago, remember?" Bella nodded and turned to take another shot at the basket, hitting nothing but net as the basketball went through.
"I hope Jake is alright." She said, picking up the ball again. "Don't worry, I'm sure he will be." Chris said, as confidently as he could, because he was as unsure as she was. She shot another basket, "You're pretty good, and I'm surprised you don't try out for the girl's modified team at school because based on how you are doing here, you would make it no problem." Bella shook her head,
"No, for now I have to concentrate on school if I want to get to Yale or Princeton after I graduate." Chris laughed after what Bella said, " Are you sure it is you who wants to concentrate on school instead of play sports…or your over-bearing mother?"
At this, Bella dropped the ball and glared at Chris. "I am so SICK of everybody thinking any of this is their busyness! Because it isn't!" at that she threw the ball at the ground near Chris' feet, hitting him in the knee as it bounced back up off the pavement. "Ow! What the hell?"
When he looked up he saw Bella storming into the house, angrily. "Bella wait!" at that she opened the door, entered the house, and slammed the door shut…hard.
Chris stared at the house blankly, "Poor Bella." And he went back over to his bike, put his helmet back on, and rode off down the street.
Digital World
The group of kids and digimon were sleeping as the night went on, soundless. They were all so tired; they entered a silent and deep sleep, unaware of the impending danger surrounding them. Myotismon was smiling evilly as he watched them sleep.
"Poor little kiddies, as they sleep peacefully we plot against them." He said quietly to himself. From behind him a little bat-like creature flew in and perched on Myotismon's shoulder. "That doesn't sound like you at all, double thinking yourself attacking kids, I mean…"
"Demidevimon, it is called sarcasm, you should know all about it since I use it all of the time around you."
Demidevimon looked at Myotismon, "You do sir? You mean when you say I am a good assistant you…" he started but Myotismon interrupted him, "I don't mean it, correct. I mean…come on you have such an easy job. Groveling at my feet and kissing up to me, yeah you need some real skill to do that."
Demidevimon looked down in a depressed was, but shrugged it off like the minion to Myotismon he was. "Should I get someone to attack them?"
"No, you had your chance while I was in the other world, and you failed. I mean…Kuwagamon…c'mon. He couldn't defeat the original digidestined and digimon when they were rookies and when they fought their first fight. You honestly thought he could beat a full-grown Greymon? You lost your chance, and besides I already sent off someone after the kids."
"Who?" Demidevimon asked, Myotismon smiled, "Well, let's just say this one is a bit more of a challenge."
With the kids
Jake woke up as the sun shone into his eyes. He opened his eyes to the sight of everybody still sleeping; even Agumon was still asleep next to him. He smiled and got up, he also noticed Alex was not laying down, but over at her backpack that was against a tree. Jake walked over to her, and once he reached her he tapped her on the back. She turned to him, "Hey Jake. Wassup?"
"I want to talk to you a little bit." He said, sitting down next to her. She let out a long, annoyed sigh, "Please! Do not go on about you wanting me to get into your pants."
Jake laughed sarcastically, "Yeah because that is all I want to talk to you about." He said angrily. "Well, was it why you wanted to talk to me Jake?"
There was a silence, and then Alex nodded. "I thought so. Please just leave me alone Jake." Jake sighed, got up and was about to leave when he turned back to Alex, "You know, you dated that jerk Tom when you just met him at the freaking Burger King down the road that one time; you have known me since we have been in first grade and you wont date me? What do you think I an un-trustworthy…that I am not good enough for you?" he asked, starting to get angry. Alex looked at him, mouth agape, "No, it isn't that at all Jake, you are a really good friend, but…but…" she said, but wound up getting choked up.
"BUT WHAT!? AM I NOT ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH FOR YOU…IS IT MY PRESONALITY…HUH?" Alex started so tear up; she didn't know what to say.
"No Jake…I just don't feel like dating now." Jake laughed at Alex's comment, "Oh that is complete b.s, I mean you have been saying that for years. You know what, I am going to just stop arguing with you because I am obviously not good enough for you, you…you…smelly pirate hooker!"
With that last word, Jake turned and stormed off obviously very pissed off to a nearby tree to sit down and pout. Alex could not take it anymore and began sobbing. Biyomon woke up, as everybody had started too, and saw her crying and ran over to her.
"Alex, are you alright?" she asked. Alex shook her head, "Me and Jake just had an argument about me dating him."
"Why are you crying though…it couldn't have been that bad." Biyomon said, trying her best to comfort Alex. "He called me a smelly pirate hooker…the jerk has watched "Anchorman" one too many times." She said with a bit of a sad laugh.
"Don't be upset. It will be alright." Biyomon said, then she turned towards the direction of Jake, who was pouting against a tree.
"He isn't worth it Alex." She said, "Don't worry about it." Alex nodded sadly. What they didn't know though, was that their argument woke everybody up.
"What is going on?" Kyle asked irritably. "Alex still won't let me ask her out." Jake said angrily.
"Why does she have to?" Biyomon asked Jake sternly. "Because she never gives me a specific reason yet always rejects me."
"Why is it your business Jake?" Biyomon asked angrily. Alex was surprised at how Biyomon was standing up for her, and she appreciated it.
"Hey! Leave Jake alone!" Agumon said running over to Biyomon and stood in front of her, looking at her angrily. "Why should I, she is making Alex feel bad!"
The two digimon continued arguing back and forth for almost five minutes. "Wow, this got out of hand fast." TJ said, mouth agape. "I know TJ, I hope I never get in a fight like that with you." Patamon said. "I hope not as well." TJ said.
"This is getting annoying, when will they stop fighting?" Megan asked, biting her lip. "You got to let them get out their rage Megan, so they will eventually be alright." Palmon said, but in an un-convincing way. Zak wanted to intervene, but knew that they should work out their tension.
No one wanted to get involved, until Gabumon ran over to Agumon's side. "Stop yelling at Agumon!" he shouted. Next Palmon ran over, "No! Then you stop yelling at Biyomon!" Jake got into the argument as well, "Why, you started this!" he yelled and pointed at Biyomon, which made Alex snap.
"Don't blame your own issues on Biyomon! It was your fault for being such a dirt bag!" Kyle and Megan looked at each other, shrugged and walked over to their digimon to try to get them to stop fighting. "TJ, this is getting scary, do you want to try to stop them?" Patamon asked, TJ was too stunned by the arguing to even move.
Eventually Megan and Kyle gave up on trying to stop their digimon and left the argument as it waged on. Zak could not take it anymore, "ALRIGHT! STOP IT NOW!" he yelled…but no one listened.
"I SAID FREAKING STOP!" he yelled again, but they continued arguing, like little three year olds. Zak turned to Gomamon, "Gomamon what should I do?"
Gomamon shrugged, "I don't know, maybe you should take charge and command the leader and the rest." Zak nodded and ran into the mass of yelling beings.
"Guys, stop it now, you are friends!" he said sternly to the arguing people. "Now Jake, I know you want to know why Alex isn't accepting your date requests…but c'mon you are wayyyyyyyyy overreacting!"
Jake got mad, turned and punched Zak in the face, knocking him to the ground "Zak!" Gomamon shouted as he ran over to Zak, who was rolling on the ground in writhing pain, clutching his nose, which was bleeding quite profusely. "Why did you do that?" Megan yelled.
"Mind your own business!" he yelled at Zak. He wanted to punch Jake back, but knew he would set a bad example, besides…would Joe punch his friend; even if his friend punched him first.
Zak stood up, looking Jake in the eyes. He lowered his hand to reveal a nose that had blood streaming out of it. It wasn't broken, but just bloody as hell. Jake just then realized the scale of injury he gave Zak. His expression fell into a shocked stare.
"My God Zak, I didn't mean…"
"Mean to what? Almost break my bloody nose!" Zak said angrily. Gomamon went over to Zak, "Zak are you alright?" he asked, Zak shook his head.
"Zak," Jake started, and then he looked at Alex, whom began tearing up again. He was still a bit upset, but hated making her upset. "Alex…everybody…I'm sorry."
He sat down, head hung low. Alex sighed, "It is alright Jake…I am sorry for arguing as well."
Jake smiled at her, "Yeah…I am still pissed at you, my nose is bleeding. Does anybody have gauze?" Zak asked. Everybody shook his or her heads, "Zak, I know it will take a while for you to forgive me, so…it is alright."
Zak glared at Jake, "Don't worry, I forgive you man." Jake smiled at Zak.
"Sorry Agumon." Biyomon said, Agumon looked at her, "It's alright…I am sorry as well." They looked at each other, smiled and looked at their respective partners.
"Zak, I have some tissues if that will help." Megan said, handing him the tissue pack. Zak thanked her and put the tissue to his nose to slow the bleeding.
"Well, I am glad that everything is back to peace." Megan said. "Yeah. I am so glad it is over." Palmon said in agreement to her partner.
"I would not go that far." Came a voice from behind the nearby bushes. They turned to see a humanoid figure standing in the shadows. As it came out, it revealed that it was a digimon that had very humanistic characteristics, as well as it was completely engulfed in flames.
Jake took out his digivice and held it to the creature. "Meramon, a champion leveled digimon, main attack is fireball…oh crap." Jake said.
Megan and Palmon both sighed, "Us and our big mouths."
