Chapter 4: The Flood

I'm so sorry about the technical difficulties in this chapter. I have no clue what's going on but a huge chunk is getting deleted from this page. I hope it's all there by the next chapter. I worked really hard on this chapter so please review. Hope you enjoy it!

Normal POV

"How could this have happened so quickly?" Mary asked, just hearing the news from Kevin on her high tech video phone.

"Don't ask me! I'm not the one who predicted this in the first place!" he replied.

"I didn't predict this either! My dad found this information at his lab and told me. I thought it was way to important for you guys not to know too."

"Well, what are we going to do about it?" Diane asked

"I'm just thinking we have to tell our parents before things get worse." Mary replied

Diane screamed as she was looking out the window and Terrence quickly covered her mouth.

"Kevin, you have to see this!" Terrence called. Kevin rushed over and his eyes widened in shock.

"Oh my God," he whispered. "Mary, look out your window now!"

Mary did, but she wished she hadn't. There was a hole in the sky, and inside they could see the dark ocean, but the worst part was what was coming out of it. Yep, you guessed it: Dragomon!

He came out of the portal and crushed a building. The sheer force of the giant shook the Earth, causing everyone to fall over and the power to go out for a moment.

"First Godzilla, now this, what's wrong with Japan?" Terrence cried

"This is no joke, Terrence!" Mary yelled from the phone.

"What just happened?" Diane asked.

"I'm thinking we're in trouble." said Darren.

Sara's POV

I was in my room watching TV with my brother, Mathew. There was thunder and lightning outside, which was causing Mathew to cling to my arm and squeezing Tsunomon. It wasn't really the lightning that scares him. It reminds us of the flashes of cameras from the paparazzi who follow our family due to the fact that our dad is the first man to land on Mars and our mom is a fashion designer. It's mostly the thunder.

I suddenly heard a crash outside and car alarm went off. That's when I remembered what Mary said about that flood.

No way, I thought it can't, it can't arrive the day she predicted it, can it?

I rushed to the window and I realized, it could. The crash was a car swerving off the road because the roads were flooded like a brook.

"What's wrong, Sara?" Mathew asked.

"I think that we're in danger."

"Why?" Yokomon asked.

"It's flooding just like Mary said. I don't even think we can leave the house."

I started to hyperventilate, wondering if we could ever leave the house again. Ever see my friends again. Ever see my parents again!

Well, we never see our parents anyway. My dad, like I just said, is in space, and my mom is currently on a business trip in China. We live with our grandma but our digimon keep us company.

My D-Terminal rang and I jumped. I rushed to my backpack and took it out. It was from Darren!

Sara,

Meet us in the digital world now!

Darren

Just then, I saw something huge out the window. The ground jumped under my feet and I fell on my face.

I picked up my D-Terminal I dropped and typed

Darren,

I'm leaving right now.

Sara

Terrence's POV

My mom was screaming in the other room, but my dad helped her calm down. Kevin's Salamon, my Tokomon, Diane's Upamon, and Darren's DemiV-mon ran into our room and were ready to digivolve. We got out our digvice's and were about to run outside and fight Dragomon like the DigiDestined we're supposed to be, but…

"Don't go out there!" my mom cried.

"Mom, we're the DigiDestined, we have to fight him!" I yelled.

"You don't understand. Tokomon and Salamon can't even digivolve to the champion level. You're just not ready!"

"But, mom, you fought VenomMyotismon when you were eight!"

"That's different. This digimon is… different."

"But mom-" Kevin grabbed my arm shaking his head slowly. His eyes were telling me this wasn't the time to argue.

"We have to do something." I whispered to him.

"Terrence, remember this morning when you said that nothing exciting happens in our lives?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah."

"Well, unfortunately, this is one of those times."

I was about to say something back, but

"Spiking strike!"

We all rushed to the window to see what was going on. It was a Stingmon attacking with a glowing pink light coming out of his arm and cut Dragomon's arm, but Dragomon swatted Stingmon away like the bug he was.

We then heard gunshots from who knows where. It was probably from Kendra's dad, the policeman who is most likely the only one we know with a gun.

"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon cried.

"That's Flamedramon!" Darren cried in excitement "My dad's fighting Dragomon! This is so cool!"

It was cool. It's not every day that you're parents fight a giant deformed-octopus monster and his evil cloaked friend. Wait, his evil cloaked friend, Daemon, Dragomon's creepy partner from my dream, where was he?

"I'm going out there." My dad said walking toward the door. Patamon flew by his side. "C'mon Kari."

"I'm not going." She said sternly.

My dad stopped in his tracks and looked back.

"That digimon came from Dark Ocean. Remember 25 years ago, when we went there? When we fought those Scubamon, do you remember what they said? They said their master would come after me! What if this is their master? If it is, he could, he could take me and, and..." she trailed off and broke down into tears. My dad came to her side and held her hand.

"Ever since that day, I've been scared that they would come back for me." She continued, still sobbing "Now their here and… and"

"They won't take you, Kari!" My dad yelled looking directly into my mom's eyes, "They won't take you as long as I'm here. You are my wife, Kari, you are the only one I love, and I promise, I promise I will protect you as long as I live!"

"Oh, TK," They kissed. Darren and I were disgusted so we continued watching the fight out the window. What do you expect, we're 11! I think I might have heard an "Awe…" from Diane, but she's a girl.

"Promise you'll come back for me?" my mom asked.

"I promise." My dad said running out the door.

I gripped on to Tokomon, disappointed that I couldn't fight.

I just don't get it. I thought We're the DigiDestined aren't we? Why can't we fight him? What's so different about this digimon than any other one? If only I knew at the time. But believe me, I was sure about to find out. Big time.

Darren's POV

Diane gasped and yelled "Whoa! It's my dad!"

"Where?" I asked

"See that Submarimon in the water?" Diane said pointing.

"Oh, wow, he's one cool lawyer." Terrence said. "To bad Uncle Tai is on a business trip in America, Aunt Sora's in China, and Uncle Matt is in space."

"Yes, this is a great time to brag about your famous family, Terrence." Diane said sarcastically "Forget that we're fighting a battle for the world, lets just talk about your Uncle on Mars because-" she trailed off. Her mind fixed on to something else.

"You're just jealous because your dad is a boring high class lawyer." Terrence said.

"Terrence," Kevin said tapping him on the shoulder.

"What?" he asked

"Didn't you say about something about Daemon in your dream? I don't see him anywhere."

"Yeah, I was wondering about that. I'm sure he bound to show up any second. It's going to be so awesome when we fight him!"

"No way," Diane mumbled

"What do you mean, Diane?" Kevin asked

Diane didn't respond. Her eyes were still fixed on something. It must have been important because she completely tuned us out.

"He wouldn't,"

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Not you, dumbass!" she snapped.

Everyone's eyes widened. We were all surprised! Who knew that Diane, Ms. Sweet-and-innocent Diane, would say something like that? Either she's really upset about something, or she's spending way too much time with Kendra.

"Diane, what's wrong?" Kevin asked, touching Diane's shoulder affectionately.

"Look! My dad's he's-"

"Harpoon Torpedo!" Submarimon cried, shooting his nose/torpedo at Dragomon's leg…. Tentacle…whatever you want to call it!

Dragomon raised his bundle of tentacles wrapped in chains to the portal to the dark ocean he came out of. A golden trident slowly came out of the out the portal as Dragomon curled his tentacles around it like a fist.

"Forbidden Trident!" Dragomon bellowed. He raised his trident up to the sky we heard thunder roar.

"No…" Diane whispered "DAD NO!"

It was too late. Dragomon struck down his Forbidden Trident and lightning struck the water and it conducted into the water. A wave hit a power cord and all the lights in town went out. We quickly saw dead fish in the water. We also saw Submarimon, upside down. His windows were broken.

Diane got down to her knees, quickly breaking down into tears quivering.

"Cody…" Kari whispered.

"I don't think that's ever happened." I said

"Why me?" Diane mumbled, still in her own world, now on her knees. "Since when do people who fight digimon die? Why did it have to be my father? WHY?!" She put her head on Kevin's shoulder and continued sobbing.

The fighting started up again as fast as it stopped. We couldn't see the battle since it was pitch black. The only light we could see was the gunshots of Kendra's father's gun and the cracks of lightning that lit up the sky.

I couldn't stop thinking about what Kevin and Terrence said about Daemon. It was obvious why they were working together: Daemon can open a portal to any dimension, like from the Dark Ocean to our world. But if Daemon had these powers all along, than why did he wait til now to use them? What exactly were they waiting for to keep them this long? What exactly are we missing here?

Terrence shivered. I thought he was scared, heck we all were after what we just saw, but it was something else. I could just tell.

"Did you feel that?" Terrence asked Kevin. Kevin nodded his head solemnly.

"Feel what?" I asked.

"I did. Something's coming." Kevin said grimly.

Diane sniffed and took her head off Kevin's shoulder, her eyes still flooding with tears.

"I feel it too." Kari said.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked.

"That's it! I'm not going to let anyone else die while we just sit here and watch! I'm going out there." Terrence said, walking toward the door, Tokomon perched on his head.

"Oh, no you are not," Kari protested. "Did you not just see what happened to Cody? That could be you, Terrence if you're not careful-"

"I'm not going to let my father die too!" Terrence snapped.

The room fell silent. Terrence wiped the tears on his sleeves, embarrassed. Terrence flung the door open and ran outside.

I saw Kevin shiver again, but this time he showed a scared expression on his face. He felt something again. Kevin jumped to his feet and ran out the door.

"Terrence stop!" he yelled.

"Flame inferno!" someone with a deep, raspy voice called out of nowhere. It was Daemon, firing streams of flames from his hands, aiming for Terrence and Kevin.

"TERRENCE! KEVIN!" Kari screamed in horror.

Kevin and Terrence ducked down. Salamon and Tokomon didn't digivolve. They didn't have to, because someone else saved them. Someone on their digimon jumped in the way of the flames. Someone brave, someone not afraid to risk their own life to save others, someone everyone cared about… My stomach and throat tightened when I saw it was… my dad.

"Davis!" we heard TK yell.

Daemon closed his hands, stoping the flames. The cloth wraped around his head covered his face, but his glowing red eyes showed absolutly no sign of regret. Amost joy even.

"Dad!" I yelled

"Get inside…" my dad told us, wincing in pain and holding on to his burnt side.

"Are you okay?" Terrence asked.

"I said get inside! Now!" he yelled.

Terrence and Kevin hesitated for a second, but ran back inside. I however, ran outside to my dad. Sure, call me and idiot for running outside when Daemon could have killed me at any moment. I really don't care.

"Dad!" I cried.

"Darren… Darren get inside." My dad said weakly.

"No dad! I'm not going to leave you!" I cried.

My dad grinned, which must have been difficult for him. He wasn't on fire because of the heavy rain, but his skin had really bad scorch and burn marks on them. He clearly wasn't okay.

Radramon wasn't any better. His tail and the top half of his armor was completely burnt brown and black. I don't think he can hold up like that much longer.

Radrimon flew a little closer to me so my dad could put his other hand on my shoulder.

"Darren, you… you remind me of myself. Your brave, you don't let others get in the way of what you believe in. Keep those qualities. You'll need them if you're going to where those goggles. You deserve them. Darren, I am proud to call you, my son."

"Dad…"

My dad clenched on to his burnt side again, wincing in pain. It was really hard to look at. I promised myself I would never cry in front of my dad, to always show him I was brave and tough, just like him. I think he can forgive me for doing it now.

"Dad please, please, don't go!"

"I can't, but son, don't let him get to Anna. Take care of your mom."

I nodded.

That's when Raidramon couldn't hold himself up in the air anymore and he fell down like a bag of sand. My hands were trembling, I could barely breathe. I felt like I had been punched in the gut five hundred times. I tried again to not sob but I couldn't help it.

"Dad!" I yelled again.

"Serves him right for getting in the way of my prize." Daemon said flatly.

That line, that single simple line not even enphesized, just snapped something big inside of me that tensed every part of my body.

"YOU MONSTER!" I screamed

Suddenly, I saw a heavenly blue glow shine from inside the house. I truned around and saw it was coming from DemiVeemon.

"DemiVeemon digivolve to… X-Veemon!" He yelled as he spread his dragon wings jumped into action. Kevin and Terrence dragged me back in the house.

"Oh, Kevin! Terrence! Thank God you're both okay," Kari said hugging her two alive sons.

"What were you thinking?!" I screamed at Terrence. "What on Earth were you thinking! You know, that's it. You weren't thinking. You just ran out, not even considering you might die!"

"Of course I considered it!" He yelled "I wanted to fight, I just couldn't do nothing. I knew Daemon was coming and leaving it be didn't seem right." He looked down. "And now I know it was wrong"

"Wrong? Someone died because of you!"

"Guys!" Kevin yelled, breaking us up. "Cut it out! You think we have time to argue? Darren, I understand you're upset about your dad right now and you'll do or say anything out of anger. And Terrence I know you just want to protect everyone, but we're under attack right now! Right now we need to stop arguing with each other and work thourgh this together like the team we keep saying we are!"

"No Kevin, he's right." Terrence said quietly. "It's my fault. I should have listened to you guys and stopped and thought for a moment. If Darren's father didn't jump in the way not only me but Kevin would be dead. I'm sorry."

I was so upset at the moment, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe that less than 20 minutes ago we were in the other room just playing video games. Now, our lives are never gonna be the same.

Diane was still sobing on the couch I sat next to her and cried along with her. Well, I was just doing those quiet sobs. Diane was crying like a child. Kevin went to her side. No surprise there.

"We need to digivolve and fight like DemiVeemon." said Upamon.

"You guys can't right now." said Terrence. "There's no way we're powerful enough."

"We don't even have digivices." said Kevin. "Besides, even if we did it wouldn't make any difference."

"Guys," said Diane, "The do-"

"So we're trapped?!" I yelled.

"Do you have any ideas, Darren?" Terrence asked

"Well, we do have one option." said Kevin. "But you guys might not like it."

"Guys, seriously, the door's-"

"I don't think we have any other options." said Terrence, interupting Diane once again.

"Well, I think we have to fall back into the Digital World."

"You mean give up?!" I yelled.

"Hey, what's better, fighting bravely and dying or fall back for awile, get stronger, and then come back?"

I paused. I knew we had no chance of fighting back, but I wanted to stay. I couldn't give up. I couldn't just run away and know that Daemon defeated us! But, falling back would make sense. What would a good leader do…

"HEY!" Diane yelled. "Can you guys stop fighting for a minute to realize that Daemon is setting the door on fire?"

"Daemon's trying to get in!" Kari screamed

"We have to hide in the Digital World." said Kevin.

"But what about Ex-Veemon?" I asked.

"Flame Inferno!" we heard out side. Suddenly, Ex-Veemon smashed through the window and De-Digivolved back to DemiVeemon.

"We have no choice; we have to fall back into the Digital World." I said.

"If you're going there, you're going to need something." Kari said as she rushed to the other room. She came out with two D-3's, one pink, one green. She gave Terrence the green one and Kevin the pink. Yes, the pink one. I would have laughed hysterically if this had been another time.

"These will help Salamon and Tokomon digivolve." she said. "Protect yourselves and try to live in the digital world for a while."

I noticed that the door was starting to turn black. It could fall off its hinges any second.

"Let's just go!" I cried.

"Wait! One more thing!" Kari cried.

"What mom?!" yelled Terrence.

Kari hugged Terrence and Kevin one more time.

"Be careful." she said. "I love you both."

"We love you too." said Kevin.

"We promise, we'll come back." said Terrence

We ran into TK's study where the computer was. We pressed a button and the holographic screen appeared (we're from the year 2027 so you'll be seeing a lot of future devices). Suddenly, two blue and yellow lights shot out of the computer and into Diane and my hands. They were D-3's!

Diane stared at her yellow D-3 in awe "Are… are these ours?"

Diane was interrupted when we heard the door in the other room fall down and Kari's scream.

"Forget it, let's just go!" I yelled yelled.

We held our D-3's to the holographic computer and yelled:

"Digi-Port open!"
