New
Or Old DigidestinedPart #3
a nightmare come true
Mimi: What a time to come home to Japan for a visit. Cody and I were franticly making invitations for our mothers' social event without any help when an entirely new digimon decided to threaten the digi-destined. What a shock huh could any one digimon think of anything else evil to do then interrupt a perfectly important project? Anyway after that, suddenly new digimon start popping up and one comes right through the computer. While trying to figure out what's going on my old friends Tara and Nicki started to act really funny. Soon everyone plus Russ, Robie, Mike, and Luke get sucked back in time. Then to top off all that weirdness, the same evil digimon attacks us and somehow Zowie, Jay, and Aubrey show up with some kind of unnatural superpowers just like the X-men. Turns out they know Gennei and Tara got us back to the real world. I always get the weird dreams that don't make any since at all! Why is that?
Snicker Nicki: That's just what they all think, It's a dream only a dream. But little do they know all that weird confusing stuff happened to us all. We figured their slight amnesia would come in handy for now and buy us some time to straighten this new evil digimon out. Ottomon, his true nature and attacks are unknown to us but we will find out and beat him to. Hopefully we haven't underestimated the situation.
The bright light died down and Tai bolted straight up in bed. Breathing hard he looked through the dark room at the clock. "11:50?" He mumbled looking around at his room confused 'What time did I go to bed? I don't even remember coming home.'
"Tai?" Kari's soft voice cut through the darkness "You okay?"
"I think so," Tai laid back down "Just a weird dream. Go back to sleep" Kari lay wide-awake on her bed and starred at the ceiling.
"Okay," She replied, the clock ticked away in the dark and Kari didn't move. She didn't close her eyes but lay frozen in space.
TK slid out of his bed onto his feet and quietly tiptoed out of his room to the fridge. Filling a glass full of cold water and pressing it to his lips he drank it all at once. Removing the glass he gasped for air. "It was so real." He whispered to himself.
Over in another apartment building, Davis looked around his room confused. "Man what did I eat for dinner?" with no further thought he fell back and drifted off to sleep.
Matt jumped out of bed onto his feet, in a panic "Nicki!" he cried trying not to be so loud her ran to the phone and dialed quickly. After five rings Mr. Kashido answered the phone.
"Hello?" He mumbled
"Sorry to bother you sir, but I was wondering if Nicki was there?" Matt asked nervously fiddling with the cord.
"Yes she's asleep Matt." He stated gruffly "You need me to wake her up?"
"Uh…no! Thank you." Matt calmed down slowly "Sorry to bother you sir, good night." Matt quickly hung up the phone, feeling foolish and stupid he turned and walked back into his room. 'What was I thinking? It was just a silly dream!' He stopped short and smacked his palm into his forehead 'oh no, Nicki's going to be wondering why I called her! I can't tell her I had a nightmare she'll think I'm crazy! Ohhh!'
He buried his face into his pillow and kicked his feet.
Mimi shot straight up in bed, panting franticly. Looking around the room she slowly calmed down. Clinching her covers into her chest she gasped "Oh, I know it was too weird to have seen Russ, Luke, Robie, AND Mike together!" She dropped her head back onto her pillow and gave a concerned sigh "Hum? Whose Zowie?"
Sora shifted in bed and rolled to her stomach "Digi-destined before us? Another digital world…no way, that would be something to laugh about." She mumbled.
Outside was dark and gray. A quilt of extremely thick black clouds covered the sky. So as dawn broke they refused to let the sun shine through. Izzy's mom knocked softly on the door, pushing it open she found Izzy half on his bed and half off. Sadly for Izzy his face was down on the floor and feet up on the bed. His computer sat propped open on the floor before him, just bearly beyond his reach.
"Izzy," His mom giggled "Pisst, come and see this." She waved to Mr. Izumi, who quickly joined her in the doorway to find his boy in the most awkward position. He joined his wife in a moment of laughter then flipped on the light switch.
The room flooded with light, squinting Izzy shifted and turned sending the rest of his body onto the floor.
"Raise and Shine!" Mr. Izumi grinned. Confused Izzy starred up at his parents from his painfully heaped position on the floor.
"Dad I hate it when you do that." Izzy protested
"Sorry but it's so fun."
"That was a really strange way you chose to sleep honey." His mom pointed out "How does you neck feel?"
"Fell asleep talking to another American again?" his dad teased "I tell ya, those Americans have a way of putting you into a deep sleep."
"No dad I was…" He paused suddenly realizing he didn't know what he was doing, "Actually I don't even remember coming home last night."
"Well I hope you remembered to do your homework because you're late for school."
"I'm WHAT?"
Joe walked into school feeling a little slow and confused. "Whoa, Joe you look rough." One of his classmates stated as he entered the hallway. "Get any sleep last night?"
"Actually," He started then had nothing more to say "I don't know."
"Oh well that explains it all. I just hope you got enough to remember everything on the bacteria quiz in 5th hour." Then pointing to his own face, "These wandering eyes can't afford to get an F on this Test!"
"Oh great, I almost forgot!" Joe stated shaking his head. Down the hall he caught a glimpse of a tall ember haired girl walking towards him.
"Hey, hey!" His friends straightened up "Look who it is!"
"Who?" Joe asked, "She looks familiar."
"That's Zowie Tsunkashu," His friend replied in disbelief "I haven't introduced myself yet but she's my future girlfriend." Her smile grew wide when she spotted Joe, it was a smile like she knew something and was not supposed to tell.
"Hi Joe!" she said as she passed by with a hint of excitement in her voice. Joe's friend looked stunned and betrayed.
"Who huh!" He said accusingly "She sure seems to know WHO you are." He turned and walked away Joe turned to follow Zowie but the bell rang and the crowd began pushing him in the opposite direction. 'Lunch time' he thought. 'I'll catch her then'
Over at Odibha High the sky was still dark and think with black clouds. The out side street lamps were on providing only a faint yellow glow for light. Sora concernedly gazed out the window of her classroom. It's so dark and gloomy out there she thought. Someone came and stood beside her
"You think it'll rain?" they asked. Sora turned and looked at her visitor, nervously she smiled.
"Hi Nicki," She said
"You okay?" Nicki asked with a small laugh "You look spooked or something."
"It's uh….just the weather." She quickly turned her focus back outside "It's acting weird, just like the sun never came up."
"I don't think it did." Nicki stated light hearted "Or it was probably some kind of a..."
"It's not an eclipse Nicki." The shout came from Tara in another room all the way across the hall.
"FINE!" Nicki shouted back over her shoulder before bending down and whispering softly to Sora "It's an eclipse."
"NO!" Tara shouted again as if she had heard her rebuttal.
"Tara Mikayo keep your voice down and stay in your seat!" the teacher ordered
"I'm glad I don't have her in my class," Nicki's teacher stated stepping up behind Nicki and Sora. "But then again I got stuck with the almighty insane one from America."
"Ya, aren't you so lucky!" Nicki beamed.
"Oh yes. I think I could win the lottery." She said sarcastically "Have a seat ladies, so I can start my class." The teacher closed the blinds and the door. While Nicki and Sora took their seats.
Huddled in Odibha Elementary the digi-destined were having trouble of there own. "I can't stand this!" Davis yawned dropping his head to his desk. "Kari tell the sun to come out so I will stop yawning."
"Right Davis," Kari shook her head "And while I'm at it, I'll just tell the world to stop spinning."
"Okay, sounds good to me," Davis laughed
"It's sure unusually dark out there." Jay said starring across the room out the window.
"I know," Aubrey started up "It's really, really dark just about as dark as…" Jay shot her a cautious look, and she clamed up but smiled big and continued to stare out the window.
"About as dark as what Aubrey?" TK asked
"Never mind, you wouldn't want to know, it's one of those really, really long stories. And I know how much you hate listening to my stories even if they're not long. Like that one when I…"
"Okay, Okay!" Davis whined "We get the picture! So just stop the motor on that thing." Aubrey released an amusing giggle.
"Hey TK," Kari leaned over and whispered as everyone else resumed positions "Are you doing anything after school today, I need to talk to you."
"I haven't had anything to do for days," He smiled then something accrued to him and his smile disappeared. "Talk about what?"
"I had a really weird dream last night and Tai woke…"
"A dream?" TK cut her off "What kind of a dream?"
"A weird one, a nightmare more likely."
"Did this nightmare by any chance involve those two?" He motioned to Jay who at the moment finished folding a paper airplane and proceeded to throw it into the air at a girl four seats in front of him catching in her long straight black hair.
"Ya it did, how'd you…"
"Hey what's going on here?" Davis noisily joined in on the conversation.
"Nothing," TK scolded
"We were talking about the strange dreams we had last nigh." Kari explained "did you have one Davis?"
"Ya, I had two." Davis said excitedly
"What were they about?" TK asked
"Well one had Tai, Ken, and me in a soccer tournament, just the three of us together and we took on hundreds of other teams and won them all."
"Davis," TK stopped him before he went into detail "That really did happen. A few weeks ago you three took the three on three championship…"
"Oh that must be why it seemed so real." Davis laughed embarrassed
"What about the other one?" Kari urged.
"Oh, you two were really young. And we went back to the digital world to fight this evil digimon Ottomon. And they're was a lot of flashing lights…"
"Davis!" The teacher scolded "Will you turn back around and wait till lunch time to resume your conversation! Thank you."
Joe watched the clock on the wall slowly tick away as everyone around him worked silently on their work. 'I've never met Zowie before, maybe she's a friend of Mimi's. I'll just go and talk to Mimi after…wait Mimi never came home that was in my dream. And so was Zowie that little girl in the purple dress.' The bell finally rang, Joe still deep in thought followed the mob out of the room and to the elevator that headed down to the school restaurant 'She probably just got my name from someone else…' The elevator door closed and proceeded down, stopping halfway. As the doors slid open and he came face to face with the same bright-eyed ember haired girl.
A huge mysterious smiled spread across her lips as she stepped into the crowded elevator. Nervously Joe tried to smile back while avoiding eye contact. Taking a huge breath the doors closed 'Should I ask her now how she knows me? Naw I'll wait, but I'm going to look like an idiot…' he thought however he wasn't the only one deep in thought.
'Nicki's right,' Zowie thought to herself while looking over at Joe 'this is fun! I wonder what it's like making Tai squirm'
"Wahoo!" Tara slid across the table bench and bumped into Tai and starred him right in the face with a peppy countenance.
"Why are you so happy?" Tai asked drowsily "ET call you home?"
"Have you been reading Nicki's diary?" she asked trying to sound seriously suspicious but continued to laugh. She pulled a rubber band out of her pocket and used it to put her hair up in a low ponytail. "Why so glum?" She asked nudging Tai.
"Why should I tell you?" Tai asked without any curiosity
"Because I'm studying to become a physiatrist." Tara stated
"Since when?"
"Since last night."
"Tara Mikayo a physiatrist?" Nicki and Matt approached with their lunches "No thank you, we have enough psychos running around in the world." Nicki stated sliding down on the bench across from Tai. Matt sat down right beside her.
"She's right though Tai," Matt said " you do look like something's weighing you down. What is it?"
"This morning, Kari told me about a dream she had that was so real." Tai lowered his voice "And the thing is I had the same exact dream." Matt's face flushed white and his breath caught in his throat.
"A dream, huh?" Nicki sat back "That's happened once to Tara and me."
"You mean the spider one?" Tara asked taking a bite of her mashed potatoes.
"No, the one where Jay dropped down the hole in that forest on that 'camping trip' we took."
"Oh yeah I remember, that was weird how exact that came to be."
"What was yours about?" Nicki turned the attention back to Tai "Was about… a Girl?"
"How about 8 girls and 12 guys, including me and Matt."
"UM…Nicki could you and…" Matt started but Tara caught a glimpse of something unpleasant about to start and cut him off.
"Bean Bag Brothel" she stated her eyes growing wide but not with fear it was more like electric shock pulsing through her brain. Across the room Doug had just confronted Izzy and Russ. "Russ is going to make some serious trouble." Tara jumped up and climbed over the table.
"Talk amongst yourselves boys, I can't miss this." Nicki cringed as she jumped to her feet "That boy is anything but dull." The echo of her words hit Matt's ears and he wasn't sure how to take it.
But as Tai and Matt stayed to discuss there dreams the two girls ran to the battlefield. Russ saw them approaching out of the corner of his eye and took pride in the fact that Nicki always took interest in his actions even if it was just to stop him from hurting someone.
"Hey Nicki," He said through his teeth.
"Hey Russ," Nicki looked at Doug "So, whose about to start this cat fight?"
"Who usually does?" Doug glared at Russ
"You do bean head! We just asked to humor you." Tara giggled, Doug pulled his black beanie over his ears.
"Back off Tar this isn't your fight!" Doug shouted.
Tara tried to keep from smiling but couldn't manage, "Of course it isn't, I'm just here to shout 'fight' when the time comes. I've always wanted to do it."
"So what's this all about?" Nicki asked calmly
"The usual," Russ said
"Than he attacked Tara." Izzy growled without realizing it. Tara blushed slightly.
"Yeah, and I'm the only one that can do that." Russ insisted stepping up into Doug's face.
"Oh, brotherly love it's just unbearable." Tara sniffed sarcastically.
"Shut up." Russ said
"Shutting up!" said Tara still giggling under her breath
Nicki stepped between Doug and Russ and pushing them apart. "Russ, you're not the only one with that luxury. Izzy that's very noble of you but considering the mood Tara's in she could care less."
"Where's a recliner when you need one?" Not paying much attention to the present conversation, Tara jumped up on a table and causally swung her legs through the air.
"Tara attitude check you're not watching a Hockey game here." Nicki stated approaching her indignantly.
"You are right!" Tara said "Get me some free popcorn and it would be much better." Tara giggled uncontrollably at her own joke. Russ simply smirked, Nicki however struggled to maintain her composure but everyone knew she couldn't do it. She finally broke down into laughter clinching her stomach and bent forward. Tara kicked her legs and fell backward.
In the mean time Izzy seemed to be having a slight case of déjà vu, and Doug was fed up at being ignored.
"I'm out of here! You're all insane freaks!" Doug stated disgusted. Russ attempted to attack him but Nicki held him back the best she could through her hysterical laughter.
"Th…Th…Thank you!" Tara managed to squeak out.
"Actually Doug I must apologize you are entitled to your opinion and no one has the right to force you to change it, however in light of that I must ask you," Izzy casually approached Doug "I was wondering how you felt about unknown substances on skin particles?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Mystery Sauce in face." Izzy said seconds before he shoved a plate of lunchroom mystery gravy into Doug's confused expression. Everyone froze…
Tara's incessant giggling came to an immediately stop as her mouth dropped open and her eyes became the size of cheep paper plates. Nicki gasped in a way she'd never gasped before and her hand clinched tighter to Russ's shirt unintentionally holding him in place. Silence filled the cafeteria as more and more people spied the sighted. Izzy's face grew warm as he suddenly realized what he'd done.
Wiping the gravy from his eyes Doug's glare connected with Izzy whose expression of pride changed to fear of what might be coming. But before Doug took one step forward two more fists full of mashed potatoes flew through the air making contact with Doug's shirt and ear.
Tai and Matt stood on the table re-loaded and prepared for anything when Russ burst into laughter and half the student body did the same. Suddenly Matt chucked some more potatoes with gravy which stopped Russ' laughter.
Nicki and Tara couldn't hold it anymore, relaxing her death grip she pulled some potatoes off Russ's neck while Tara resorted to the nearest tray.
"FOOD FIGHT!" They shouted Nicki chucking it at Matt and ran across the room to another plate. Soon the entire cafeteria was throwing food.
Teachers from all over the school rushed into the cafeteria breaking up fights and taking away food. As the fighting and food slowed down every kid was instructed to go to class immediately.
"Roll will be taken in 5 minutes!" Mrs. Torgia instructed "If you are not there you will receive immediate detention and clean up!"
"Hurry guys lets get." Robie shouted
"Izumi, Yamato, Taichi, and Russ!" Mr. Kolaho the vice-principal cornered them "You four with me." Nicki Tara, Luke and Era waved from a distance as the four boys were escorted out of the cafeteria
"That was fun!" Era said Nicki looked her up and down in amazement.
"Era how'd you keep so clean?" Nicki asked
"How do you think?" Luke stated. Luke was covered from head to toe in lunchroom gourmet but when he turned around he was spotless "And Mike is worse." Tara burst out laughing.
"You're a little hyena today aren't you." Luke mocked playfully but Tara was to busy laughing to hear him.
"Hey you four better sprint to class!" Cari, Luke's girlfriend shouted. Her long thick black hair had chunks of potatoes in it and her uniform happily ruined with gravy and sticky rice stains. She stood in the doorway and waved for them to hurry. "Unless you want to join the three stooges and their stunt man I suggest you hurry."
"On your mark get set go!" Tara took off and everyone else was close behind.
"Tara Mikayo!" The teacher read off the roll, Tara slid in through the doorway.
"I'm here!" She shouted "And Luke's right behind me." Suddenly Luke slid past the doorway and into the door, he dropped to the ground. Laughing coolly he skillfully pulled himself to his feet and into the room.
"Slippery mashed potatoes." He stated blushing slightly with embarrassment.
"Have a seat you two." Their teacher instructed Luke took his seat in the middle and Tara took hers right beside the window.
