Second chapter woot! I'll get on to creating an upload date soon. It'll be something like Friday, Saturday or something like that. That's mostly because I have school and a life every other day. True I have school on Friday but I'm on the comp late that night.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this next chapter. I tried switching from characters less. I did that a bit too much in the first one.
Disclaimer: Digimon does not belong to me.
Tai
I don't know what the hell just happened.
One minute my sister and her boyfriend are trying to open the gate to the digiworld, then they went pixelated and vanished as Kari clutched her head in pain.
I fell to my knees besides Matt. I was shaking and my eyes were misty.
"KARI!"
Somewhere in my mind I knew that yelling wouldn't do anything but I couldn't help it. My sister had vanished before my eyes and I had a feeling that her reaction meant that she hadn't gone to the digital world
I placed my head into my hands as I remembered everything the new digidestined had told me.
T.K had been the one to tell me about the dark ocean. He told me about it calling for Kari before. And that both times she'd been lucky to get out of there, even with him or Gatomon with her.
I felt someone kneel beside me and when I turned my head slightly, I saw Matt. He was on his knees, staring at where Kari and T.K had disappeared. Them disappearing was hard on both of us.
Back when we were stuck in the digiworld, Matt thought his duty was to protect his little brother. Quite a few times Matt freaked out when T.K was in danger but T.K being kidnapped by Puppetmon was it for Matt. At first, Patamon wasn't with T.K so Matt's little brother had no digimon protecting him. Matt and me had a pretty big fight. Then when T.K came back, Matt felt useless because his little brother didn't 'need' him anymore.
It took a while, plus alone time for Matt, but eventually he came 'round.
Then I had my big freaking moment.
During our journey in the digital world, we split up. Izzy, Sora, T.K and Kari came along with me. Matt went off on his own and Joe stayed behind somewhere with Mimi. As we were travelling through a desert, Kari got sick again. I freaked out then because when we were younger, Kari got sick and almost died. I blamed myself because I was looking after her at the time and I took her out to play soccer with me. Then when she came out of hospital she didn't get mad at me. She just spoke to me, saying " Tai, I'm sorry I can't kick the ball very good. You'll probably never want to play with me again."
It killed me to hear her say that, so when she got sick on our journey, I went crazy. I even got really mad at Izzy that I almost hit him once and I actually tackled and hit him another time. Sure Izzy can be a bit annoying at times, especially when he goes computer geek on us, but never before have we wanted to hit him.
Matt and me would always be big brothers to our siblings and that is why we were going crazy right now. Really, the best thing you could say we were going through would be a breakdown. And I mean a serious one.
Sure Matt was in a state of shock right now but pretty soon he'd lose it. As for me, well I'd already lost it. All Matt was doing right now was muttering "T…K" over and over. I'm pretty sure we were leaving the other Digidestined at a loss of what they could do to help us.
Davis tried his usual way of cheering others up, but I just ignored him and I'm pretty sure Matt did too. All I did was bury my head in my hands.
I heard Davis sigh as me and Matt completely ignored him and I'm pretty sure all the others jumped a metre in the air when there was a knock on the door.
Davis
I heaved a sigh as I looked at the unresponsive shapes of Tai and Matt. They were breaking down, and fast.
At the moment Matt was in a state of shock while Tai was completely loosing it.
There was a knock on the bedroom door and Sore went to answer it.
I glanced over at Izzy. He was staring at his two friends as they broke down. No doubt he felt responsible, and that the two boys on the floor held him responsible. And sooner or later, one of them would mention it.
I looked up as Yolei let out a greeting. Cody, Joe and Ken were with her. Joe took one look at Izzy, Matt and Tai as he walked in and stopped besides Sora. The other three new digidestined stopped as they crowded around me.
"What happened to the two of them?" Ken asked as he put Wormmon down with the other digimon.
Veemon was still glaring at Gabumon so he didn't notice his friend.
I sighed as Ken, Yolei and Cody turned to me.
"They're loosing it. Badly. Kari and T.K were helping Izzy test if he had fixed the problem. For a while nothing happened. Then Kari, T.K and their digimon started to fade, like Kari did that time at school. Then the computer went bright, they disappeared then the port closed. I think Matt and Tai are guessing that they went to the Dark Ocean. They've been like this ever since. I think the clue that Kari gave them is the fact that just before they disappeared, she collapsed, clutching her head in pain."
I explained the whole thing to them softly, trying not to let Tai or Matt here me, although I doubted that they'd listen.
Ken looked down as Yolei gasped in shock.
Unfortunately I hadn't been quiet enough. Matt rose to his feet angrily.
"You left one large detail out of that nice little explanation of yours." He said, his voice bitter.
Ken looked up at him as the digimon fell silent. Even Veemon held his tongue as Matt let out his bitter comment.
"And what detail would that be Matt?" Sora asked hesitantly.
I already had a pretty good idea at what the detail was.
Matt glared at Sora as he replied to her question.
"That it's all…Izzy's…fault!"
He dragged out the last three words, emphasizing his point.
Ken, Yolei and Cody were frozen by my side.
I looked over at Izzy. He looked ready to agree with Matt but he spoke anyway.
"Matt I didn't mean for them to-" He spoke desperately but I doubt anything would reach to Matt right now.
I was right. Matt just glared at him as Izzy trailed off part way through his excuse.
I looked at Tai then. He hadn't moved when Matt spoke up. It was as if he was somewhere we weren't and, knowing Tai, he probably was.
"NO Izzy! If you hadn't asked them to help! If you had just waited! Then the two of them would be here right now! We should have waited! We should have stopped them!" His voice grew more and more panicked as he said everything that they should have done.
Shortly after he spoke, Matt collapsed by the bed, loosing it himself. Sora and Gabumon rushed over to him. Agumon was already with Tai, trying to calm him down.
Joe sighed as he came up to us new digidestined.
"What is the Dark Ocean like?" He asked, watching as his two friends fell apart.
"I don't know Joe, only Kari, T.K, Ken and Yolei have been there" Cody replied as we all turned to look at Ken.
Kari
Even after we were teleported, my head hurt. T.K knelt beside me, his hand on my shoulder.
"Kari? Fight it Kari! Don't give in to it! Don't let it win!" He encouraged me, helping me fight the darkness.
I felt Gatomon pat my arm in worry. I fought against the darkness inside my head. It took me a while but I did it.
Slowly the black nothingness changed to the digiworld. A dark part of the digiworld to be exact.
T.K stood up from beside me and looked around us.
"Do you think we're at the Dark Ocean?" He asked as he looked around.
I shrugged. I truthfully didn't know.
"We might be. Right now this just looks like part of the Digiworld." I replied as I got up and walked over to the TV.
I could see Tai and Matt but they couldn't see us. I watched as Tai collapsed besides Matt.
"KARI!"
T.K looked over at me as Tai yelled out my name. He came up and knelt besides me at the TV. He watched as Matt collapsed beside my brother.
Matt looked like he was in a state of shock. He was staring straight at us but not seeing us.
Tai on the other hand was a complete mess. He was completely loosing it. His eyes were filled with tears as more spilled over his cheeks.
My eyes filled with tears of my own. A hand flew to my mouth as my tears leaked out. It was hard for me to watch my brother fall apart over loosing me, whether I was alive or not.
T.K got over his own small state of shock and hugged me. He didn't talk but he didn't need to. Just having him with me helped calm me down as we watched our brothers' reactions.
Davis tried to use his normal trick to get them to snap out of it but they ignored him. Davis sighed as they gave him no reaction. He looked past us, probably at Izzy. His gaze didn't waver, as there was a knock on the door and Sora and the digimon jumped out of their skin.
Sora went to open the door and Davis finally turned his head. Cody, Yolei and Ken surrounded him. Ken must have asked about Matt and Tai because Davis started explaining.
I watched as Ken, Yolei and Cody reacted to the news. I turned away and stood up as Matt got up. I walked away so I couldn't hear anymore.
T.K was frozen staring at his brother as Matt started yelling. Eventually, T.K couldn't handle it either and he came to me.
"Where are we going to go Kari? If we're in the Dark Ocean, how can we get out? We weren't called here from the real world or the digiworld. We opened a port here." T.K asked the questions that were on my mind, the questions that had no answers.
"I don't know T.K. I honestly don't know"
Gatomon and Patamon looked at each other in confusion.
"But, can't you reopen the port?" Gatomon asked.
I shrugged as I turned to her.
"We can try but if it doesn't work then we need Izzy!" I replied and turned back to the TV.
Sighing, I held up my digivice and yelled out the familiar words.
"Digiport open!"
I tried to use as much meaning as I could during the circumstances.
There was nothing. The TV beeped a few times then nothing.
I turned back to T.K and Patamon. I shrugged at them when Sora messaged me.
Kari
Where are you? Tai and Matt are freaking out. They're loosing it badly. Are you ok? Is T.K with you?
Sora
I looked at Sora's message, and then beckoned T.K forward so he could look at what I replied with. And also incase he wanted to add anything.
Sora
I'm fine. Yeah, T.K's with me. He's ok aswell. We know about Tai and Matt. We can see you through the TV but I'm guessing that you can't see us. I'm not sure exactly where we are but I think it's the Dark Ocean. We're stuck here though. I tried to open the Digiport but it didn't work. Can you get Izzy onto that? Let us know if he finds out anything. We'll be ok, don't worry. Try and get Matt and Tai to stop beating themselves and Izzy up for this. We'll get back as soon as we can.
Kari
I sent the message then watched the TV as Sora got it. She grinned slightly when she read it all then she looked at us and gave us the thumbs up sign.
I grinned then turned to T.K
"Should we really leave from besides the TV? We don't completely know our way around and what if the port reopens?" I asked as I turned to him.
T.K shrugged as he looked around.
"If we don't move from here then we'll starve or get dehydrated. We don't know how long we'll be stuck here for. Kari, we can't wait." He answered as he stepped closer to me.
I felt more tears come at that.
What if we never get away from here? What if I never see or talk to Tai again?
As hard as it was for me to think these things, I couldn't keep them out of my head. They crushed my hope and they crushed me.
Get a grip on yourself Kari! You're letting the darkness win. It's trying to take over by making you afraid and depressed. And it's working. You're scared and you're upset.
I hung my head as my thoughts went off in paths I'd rather fight to stay away from.
T.K wrapped his arms around me in comfort.
"We will get back Kari. I'll make sure that we get back!" He vowed as he tried to soothe me.
I slowly calmed down when Patamon flew over to us. I hadn't noticed that he'd left so when he came back, I was a little surprised.
"The beach isn't too far from here and you guys are right. We're in the area of the Dark Ocean." He reported as he arrived.
I turned in T.K's grasp to look at Patamon.
"I don't think we're gonna be able to get out of here like we have before" I commented as I pulled myself completely out of T.K's arms.
"So we're stuck here?"
"Yes Gatomon, We're stuck here."
I hope you enjoyed this second chapter and it wasn't too confusing for you. I know I confused a few people with my first chapter.
Questions/Answers:
Lord Pata: Veemon attacked Gabumon, out of envy yes, like you guessed, but also because he was quite pissed that he had to just sit by and watch while Garurumon/Gabumon got to help his friend when his friend needed him (Whether it was for something big or not). I hope this answered you! Thank you for your reveiw anyway and I hope you enjoy the chapters to come.
