Chapter 2: The Day after Apocalypse pt2

Sora felt numb. The last few moments played over and over in her mind, before her was her best friend Tai Yagami a large red spike impaled through his chest "Tai...why...why did you throw your life away for mine?" "So...ra...I don't have...any kind of a life...if your not there in it." his final words to her echoed in her mind as well as him reaching out to her and his life slipping away

"SORA..." the sound of her name being called snapped her out of her trance like state and turning to look she saw Tai's former partner Agumon racing towards her with Biyomon right behind him even as more spikes rained down from the sky "Sora you have to get out of here." her partner cried "Agumon Biyomon...Tai...he's..." she choked out "I know but we have to go," the orange lizard replied both his eyes and voice void of their usual good humour "Sora Tai cared about you, maybe more then you'll ever know. If you die now then his sacrifice means nothing." Sora stared at the dinosaur like creature then at the pink avian creature who had been tugging on her arm who also wore the same stunned expression then turned to look at Sora and nodded in agreement "Agumon and I feel the same way too Sora but I know Tai wouldn't want this to be the way your life ended, he would want you to keep on living as long as you could."

Sora stared at the two the Digimon then back at Tai's lifeless body 'Good bye, I'll always love you Tai.' she then reached into the blood pool and fished out Tai's Digivice and got up off the ground "Lets go." she said, the creature had stopped firing its spikes so the three of them took this as an opportunity to get as far away as they could, when Tai's body began fading in and out of focus which made the three of them stop "Tai!"

Tai's body then began dissolving into digital data similarly to the Digimon did after they were defeated, the data pieces then floated towards the sky a spark of red light then appeared in the sky something but instead of disappearing it got larger at an accelerated rate until it hit the Earth barley five feet away from where Sora and the two Digimon were standing. In the crater the impact of the meteor had caused one of its passengers was stirring.

Grudgingly he opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings and saw a large red dinosaur like creature and a small pink bird each of them were beginning to stir "You guys ok?" he asked his voice slightly horse and each of them nodded in reply. Shaking his head he began to get the feeling something was wrong, he then saw a bundle of black leather and he crawled over to it but when he picked it up that's all it was "No, where is she. Kasumi, Kasumi." he yelled expected to hear the sounds of a babies cries but there was nothing "No, she gone." the three Digimon stood there and watched, to them this man had been many things to each of them partner, protector, guardian and even parent but ultimately he had also been their friend and it pained them to see him like this.

He then got to his feet and pulled the leather coat over his shoulders "Kasumi is gone, my swords are gone too. Lets get out of here." he picked up the small Biyomon and placed her on Guilmons head before scaling the side of the ten foot deep crater with the other two trailing behind them.

In his current state it took him longer then it usually would to scale the almost near vertical shaft but he still managed to climb out faster then any average person and emerged from the hole into blazing sunshine through the dust cloud from the impact, into a field covered in green grass and flowers 'Is this the next life?' he then reached into the hole and pulled Guilmon out of the hole.

He then looked about and then he saw her standing there not ten feet away from him 'Sora...' he couldn't believe it there she was free of any trace of what had happened to her, although she was staring his direction he was pretty sure she couldn't see him due to the dust and even if she could its was probably just a silhouette.

He had only taken a few steps forward when he heard a growling and looking over his shoulder and saw Guilmon facing the opposite direction snarling at something, a light breeze began to blow which caused a gap in the dust long enough for the trio to find themselves staring at the familiar sight of a Devasmon 'Ah man, you telling me they'll let just about anything in.' the creature then roared

"Great, come on." he said through his gritted teeth however the red Digimon refused to budge, he then turned his head towards his partner a snarl radiating from its throat his teeth bared and his eyes narrowed into two predatory slits, although he never showed it this always sent a shiver down the young man's spine as it thoughts eyes he saw both the monster Guilmon was created from and could become "GUILMON," he yelled which snapped the red dinosaur out of his red haze "As much as I want to add this monstrosity to the list this is not the best time and you are in no condition to fight. Now lets get out of here." the two of them stared at each other for a few moments "Ok." Guilmon said and the young man couldn't help but feel an awkward smile appear on his face 'Why is it something created to be the ultimate killing machine can sometimes be so naïve?'

Sora and the two Digital Monsters had dropped to the ground the moment the meteor had hit shielding themselves from the debris as best they could. Opening her eyes again she saw a large column of smoke and dust riding from the crater and then she thought she heard a voice crying out from it but that was insane, even if something had been inside that thing nothing could have survive the force of the impact. She wasn't sure but a couple of minutes after the impact she swore she saw something moving in amongst the dust cloud, it was then another roar from the monster that had killed Tai indicating it was getting ready to launch another attack, then from the rising smoke a young man emerged he grabbed Sora picked her up off the ground and wrapped his coat around her shoulders all without even slowing down

"Don't worry you'll be alright. Trust me." he whispered into her ear Sora's eyes widened 'That voice...' she felt the urge to look into the face of the man who was holding her however his face was hidden from view by locks of rich hazel covered hair and plus she was caught up the feel of his strong arm around her and his surprisingly intoxicating sent which smelt like a mixture of sweat, dirt and what smelled like blood.

"Hypersonic Screecher." the monster unleashed another sonic attack which slammed into the party sending them flying Sora felt the young man who was holding her twist in mid-air preparing to take the brunt of the impact when they hit the ground. The mysterious man got to his feet and looked at the monster was coming after them "Shit." he then turned to look at Sora but the sun was in her eyes "Can you run?" "I...I think so." she replied "Then go, I'll see if I can slow this thing down."

Sora looked up and looked at his companion and saw it was a large red dinosaur like Digimon that she'd never seen before who was carrying Agumon and Biymon under its arms and atop its head was another Biyomon only this one was much smaller then her partner "I'll help." the red lizard said "No, go with her Guilmon. Make sure she gets out of here in one piece."

Sora began limping as fast as she could then she felt something rough and scaly brush against her she saw the red dinosaur Digimon was at her side "Here let me help." Sora stared at the Digimon for a few seconds before throwing her arm around its neck and used him to support her weight "Thank you." she whispered and the two began heading off as quickly as they could, whilst they did this the mysterious man glanced over his shoulder and watched them go and waited till they were amongst a small group of trees atop a slop he was standing on 'Ok that's far enough.' he turned his attention to the marauding creature 'Just you and me now.'

Sora and her companions had made their way through the small group of threes and just up ahead was the site where the others were set up "Can you make it back on your own?" Sora looked over at her red companion "I think so." the red head replied "I'm going I have to go fight." the two of them stared at each other for a few seconds Sora nodded and unwrapped her arm from around her red companions neck and the red dinosaur set Agumon and Biyomon down before turning on its heel and running off the way they came whilst Sora made her way towards the others the two Digimon behind her

"SORA." she heard name being yelled looking up she saw her mother running towards her as well as the other members of the Digidestined as well as Kari's mother not a hundred yards away them. Sora limped over to them. Her mother grabbed her and wrapped her arms around her child "Oh god Sora are you hurt, what happened?" "Yeah its nothing, I just fell and hurt my knee." Sora replied "God Sora we heard this noise and I became really worried I thought I might never see you again." then suddenly she was pulled from her mothers embrace and she found herself in Matt arms "It's ok Sora, I'm here." he whispered into her ear which made her push him away in disgust.

How dare he say that as if he'd been the one to risk his life to save her, if he loved her as much as he claimed too then why was Tai the one who gave up everything he had and ever would just for her

"Sora where's my brother, where's Tai?" Kari demanded Sora looked at her before turning her gaze to the ground and held out her hand, opening her fingers a Digivise covered in blood was revealed

"Sora, what is this?" Mrs Yagami demanded "Tai's dead. There was this weird Digimon and it attacked. I ran but then it started shooting spikes from out of its back, I fell and hurt myself, I got up I tried to get away but one of the spikes flew at me then Tai appeared and pushed me out of the way. He died saving me." Sora replied in a small voice not even looking at the woman or any of the others.

The others stared at her in horror at the news each of them wondering if what Sora said was true and hoping there was some mistake Tai couldn't be dead. The closest he'd ever come was when the original Digidestiened fought Piedmon and yet somehow he'd managed to pull through. Not this time however the looking Sora's eyes told them there was no mistake, Tai Yagami friend, leader, mentor, brother, son, was dead.

Yuuko Yagami was the first to break the silence pulling her daughter into her embrace she burst into tears of sorrow for the loss of her only son.

Kari made no attempts at comforting her mother, she felt so numb he could not even bring herself to shed tears at her Onii-san's passing.

Davis had gone pale she shakily placed his hand on the goggles that adorned his forehead the same ones Tai had given to him when he became leader of the second generation of Digidestiened.

TK looked at the ground so not to let the others see the tears roll down his face at the news that the person who had been his childhood hero was gone.

Mimi had also begun crying and buried her face into Izzy's shoulder, sure she and Tai hadn't always seen eye to eye and he certainly was not first person she would ever consult about anything but she knew that Tai was a true and loyal friend and if she ever needed him he would be there by her side in a heartbeat to support her. Joe removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

Matt let out a grunt of frustration and kicked the ground, his best friend was dead and there was nothing about it plus Tai had declared his love for Sora in a way he could never match, he had sacrificed his own life for her and he could never compete with that.

And it wasn't just the Digidestiened who were effected by this the Digimon also felt saddened by Tai's passing particularly Gatomon who had over time come to respect Tai not just for his leadership skills but also for them care and love he felt towards Kari.

Then flashes of red light and what sounds like rolls of thunder and cries of pain and anguish caught everyone's attention, then a cry that sounded like someone shouting "Pyro Sphere..." which followed by another cry of pain

"Hypersonic Screecher." Sora recognized the infernal cry of the monster that had killed Tai then the group as forced to cover their ears as the horrific sound waves reached them "SORA," someone yelled "WHAT IS THIS." "THIS IS ONE OF THE CREATURES ATTACK," Sora replied "IT'S SOME KIND OF HIGH PITCH SOUNDWAVE WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR FEET."

"ENOUGH..." came a cry which was followed by another flash of red light far brighter then the others had been to silence followed.

He ran towards the line of trees as fast as he could Guilmon at his side, behind a nearby bush he found B.B. in one swift movement he scooped her up and placed her on Guilmon's head, he was breathing heavily and sweat dripped off of him, that last attack had left him drained causing him to change back into his human form afterwards and even then it had only been enough to stun the creature.

He soon emerged from the line of tree's and found himself in a large clearing that was set up as a picnic area with several tables set up in the shade of a row of trees as well as a pile of bricks to function as a barbecue about fifteen feet away from where he was. It was then he saw Sora still wearing his jacket standing amongst a group of people most of whom he recognized, it was the other destined as well as Ken, not to mention his mother Sora's mother and Izzy's adopted parents, all of them how they used to be. They where all there including...Matt, a scowl decorated his face at the sight of the blond but he quickly rid himself of it, now was not the time to dwell on the past and started moving again, he ran towards them

"I held it off as long as I could but its on its way, we better get ready." he announced as he skidded to a halt in front of the group. Hearing his voice Sora turned around determined to get good look at the man who had rescued her but when she did she almost felt like fainting she and the rest of the group stared wide eyed at the sight before them.

He wore a black leather shirt which had the right arm missing a shoulder pad covered his left shoulder which had a silver demons head attached with a ring in its mouth and a pair of black leather gloves on each hand. Covering his legs were leather pants with a long half skirt attached to his belt with a pair of leather bikers boots on his feet and his hair cascaded in long locks that reached past his shoulders, accompanying him where two Digimon, a large red dinosaur like creature that they'd never seen before, and was carrying a small Biyomon on its head who then jumped onto the mans shoulders.

She stared at him her eyes wide in disbelief it even under the three day old stubble on his chin there was no mistaking it but it couldn't be she saw him die only moments ago "...Tai?" her voice came out in a small squeak "Yeah its me." he replied then to his surprise she limped over and cupped his face with her hands "B...but its not possible, I saw you die." Tai placed his hands on top of hers and removed them from his face "I don't die so easily." he replied

"Tai." two voices called out at the same time "Agumon, Kari!" he exclaimed as the orange reptile threw himself at Tai then at the same time his ever loving little sister "Sora told us you were dead and I thought I'd lost you." Kari said as tears of joy rolled down her "I thought I'd be alone for the rest of forever." Agumon said as he buried his head into Tai's chest

"Agumon Kari." Tai replied "We're finally together again." there was a air of confusion amongst the group both at the young man who looked like Tai and also at his words

"Tai." everyone heard Sora call out Tai's name and turned to look at her, the digivise in her hand was glowing one moment it was orange then it changed to red then to purple to pink to yellow to blue to grey to green to black and then to gold before going back to orange. It then levitated out of Sora's hand then Tai's right wrist began glowing, unwrapping his arm from around Kari raised it he raised it till it was level with the floating Digivise and upon it the others saw a device that looked like an original Digivice crossed with a wrist watch. Then the floating devise transformed into a beam of orange energy which raced towards Tai and was absorbed by his Digivise.

However no one was given time to dwell on what had just happened as their attention was captured by an ear splitting roar.Tai spun round and saw the creature had caught up and was heading straight towards them "Shit." he muttered "Guilmon you up for this?" "No problem." the red dinosaur replied as he took a few steps forward and pointed his Digivise at his partner "Alright, Guilmon Digivolve." "Tai wait," Izzy yelled "There's this weird interference that's messing with the connection between the Digimon and the Digivice, None of the Digimon..." he then stopped midsentence when the red dinosaur began glowing

GUILMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...GROWLMON

towering above the chosen ones and their relatives was a large and impressive Digimon, it was dinosaurid in appearance and looked like a larger version of Guilmon only this one had short spiky white hair two spikes just above its eyes, large spikes on its forearms and the hazard sign on its snout.

With the exception of Tai and B.B. the group couldn't help but stare at the creature in awe "Whoa dude." Davis let out in a breathless whisper "For lack of a scientific sounding response I'll second Davis's 'Whoa'." Izzy added "That's one impressive Digimon." Joe stated "Yeah and its got pretty good fashion sense," Mimi added "Its red black and white ensemble and the symbol on its head is very stylish." everyone sweat dropped at this

"Well fashion sense aside what kind of Digimon is that?" Sora asked as she and the other destined turning to Biyomon and the other Digimon "I...I don't know." the pink bird replied "I've never seen a Digimon like that before." the other Digimon nodded in agreement

"That is Guilmon's Champion form, Growlmon." Tai said his eyes still locked with the monstrous creature ahead of them"A Virus type Dark Dragon Digimon of incredible power. His attacks Dragon Slash and Pyro Blaster decimate the enemy."

Growlmon then roared "Pyro Blaster." Growlmon fired a large fireball at the mutant Tortomon which slammed into it making it stagger back slightly then too everyone's surprise the large blue Digimon then began panting heavily "Crap Growlmon is still weakened from his battle with Kimeramon and he doesn't have the energy to digivolve to Ultimate." Tai growled mostly to himself but the others where able to hear it "Growlmon..." he cried but was cut off "Tai I can do this I have to do this." the red Digimon replied "You sure?" Tai asked "I have no choice, I'm the only one who can fight." Tai nodded reluctantly letting the three digital monsters go head to head.

The battle between the two of them was short and in his weakened state Growlmon were no match for the mutant Tortomon, "Hypersonic Screecher." it used its sound wave based attack which forced Growlmon and the Digidestiened to cover their ears however this gave the creature the opening it needed an used it's club like tail to connect with the dragons head causing him to stagger about before slamming the club into Growlmon's midsection winding him, the creature then ramming into them sending him flying demolishing a group of trees when he hit the ground. The creature then turned its attention back to the Digidestined, "Raining Doom." it roared as it launched more red energy spikes at them, Tai's expression darkened, taking a few paces forward he then drew twin hand guns and pointed them skyward and began firing the bullets turning the spikes to digital data,

"You should all get out of here. Leave this to me." Tai told the group still not looking at them "And why the hell should we listen to you." Matt stated as he moved towards the black enrobed man "You look like Tai but..." he stopped mid sentence when Tai did a 180º turn the black plated pistol pressed into his shoulder, though you couldn't tell by looking at it the gun was hot from being fired causing the blond a great deal of pain as an imprint was burnt into his flesh through the material of his t-shirt.

It was then Matt got his first proper look at the new Tai, his mouth was twisted in a fear inducing snarl and one couldn't help but notice his canine teeth where slightly elongated but his most striking feature was his eyes, the original Tai's eyes were chocolate brown but this ones where red and seemed to glow as if they made from fire, the Digidestined all flinched under his gaze and silently agreed this look could make the devil cry begging for mercy, "Do it." his words hissed through his gritted teeth "Or I swear I won't hesitate to send you back to the Hell you crawled out of..."

Matt stared wide eyed at the man before him and could tell by the look in his eyes that he wasn't lying another tell-tale sign was the sound of the hammer being cocked, he wasn't sure but he could have sworn he heard him hiss the word traitor...

Then a gun shot rang out which caused everyone to jump Matt opened his eyes and found himself once more looking at the man's back and slowly brought his fingers up and gingerly touched the mark that had been burned into his shoulder "Ok, we'll get the adults to safety whilst you cover us." Matt stated "Sounds like a plan." Tai replied as he fired off more bullets he then glanced down at the small Biyomon who was holding on tightly to his leg and gave her a kind smile

"You see the brown haired girl in the white t-shirt with the Angewoman on it?" the bird quickly looked at Kari and nodded "Go with her, she'll keep you safe. You shouldn't have to see the ugly things I do." the small Biyomon looked up at him and eventually nodded reluctantly before running over to Kari and jumped into her arms (Gatomon's whole body turning a light shade of pink), Kari stared at the small bird that had buried its head in her chest and was shaking slightly she then looked over at the new Tai who had gone back to shooting the spikes out of the air looking away Kari noticed the others had already retreated so turning on her heel she ran after them with Agumon and Gatomon who where ahead of her, running she looked back once more she didn't notice something metal in the long grass and caused her to trip and fall, she rolled as she hit the ground "Kari are, you alright?" Gatoman asked the partner as she and Agumon turned on their heels and ran over to her "Yeah I'm alright." she replied then looked down at the small Digimon that was in her arms "How about you?" the tiny bird didn't reply 'Poor thing must be really scared. Wonder what its connection to Tai is? The way it looks at him, its like a small child looking at its parent.'

"Kari, WATCH OUT!" she heard Agumon yelling looking up she saw a red spike come sailing towards her terror flooded her senses and she screamed which caught the attention of the entire group. For Kari the whole world seemed to move in slow motion and the cries of the others seemed to fade into the background, then as if by magic appear in mid-air before her scooped them up in her with his right arm before turning and squeezing off another round from his chrome plated gun however unlike the other spikes that had dissolved completely a large piece splinter and embedded its self in his left shoulder causing him to drop the gun. Kari stared wide eyed as Tai took hold of the remains of the spike that was sticking out of his shoulder and pulled it out and throwing it away blood flowing freely from the open wound as he began breathing heavily 'This is my fault, he got got hurt trying to save me.' tears began rolling down her cheeks and fell upon the exposed flesh of his arm, the water droplets seemed to glow however the glowing didn't die away instead to grew brighter till it had consumed everything around it.

The bright light died away and Kari found she wasn't in that sunny field anymore nor was she being held in Tai's strong arm, instead she found herself in a large circular room, and in the centre where two figures that she instantly recognized, one was the version of her brother that had been hurt whilst protecting her, the other was...her. Tai was kneeling on the floor whilst supporting her head on his knees whilst he gently stroked her hair, it was a very touching scene but Kari couldn't help but notice that her counter part was wearing a black and white skin suit that left nothing to the imagination along with a dark crimson cape attached to her back with made her look like the villain from some sci-fi comic or anime and on the ground next to her was black bird like mask.

"Tai..." the other Kari said in a voice so soft it Kari almost didn't catch it "Yeah." he replied looking down on her "I'm scared." other Kari whispered "I did so many terrible unforgivable things, I pillaged I tortured I killed and worst I enjoyed it. I relished in the deaths of others, human Digimon prisoner servant it didn't matter just as long as I could watch the life drain from their eyes. I..." tears began rolling down her cheeks

"Shhh," Tai placed a finger on her lips "It doesn't matter now, the darkness within you is gone and the dark spore is destroyed." "But don't you hate me?" "Hate you, what for?" "For what I've done, for helping turn you into a monster." Kari asked as the tears continued to come Tai smiled

"I could never hate Karichan." he replied as he brushed them away "Before you where born I hated the idea of having a little brother or sister I was afraid that once mom and dad brought you home they would forget about me that they wouldn't love me anymore. But then dad brought me to the hospital and I laid eyes on you for the first time all that fear and hate vanished and I couldn't help but fall in love with you."

Kari looked up into his face and a smile spread across her lips "Onii-san..." "Yes Onei-chan." "I love you Onii-san." then her body began glowing pure white and the Crest of Light over her heart "Your light...its been restored." Tai said Kari smiled then clamped both hands on the devise on her brothers right wrist and the light enveloped his wrist, slowly the light around her body began to fade away but the light around his wrist grew brighter "And now I give it to you." "Kari what are you doing?" "This is my gift to you just as Sora's love was hers. My light my strength, I give them to you so a part of me can always be with you at your side forever Onii-san." a tear rolled down his face and fell onto her cheek as he watched as the last spark of life disappeared from her eyes and her hands fell from his wrist his Digivice still glowing.

Gently he placed her head on the floor "Yoi yume o, Onei-chan." he whispered as he closed her eyes before kissing her forehead.

Another flash of blinding light enveloped the scene and when it died away Kari found herself in the present Tai's right arm still wrapped protectively around her, turning her head slightly she found herself staring into the crimson eyes of the young man holding her who brushed away the remaining tears from her cheeks.

She then felt something vibrating in her pocket and taking it out saw it was her D-3 and it was glowing pure white it then shot out a beam of light at the Digivice on his wrist and as in her vision it began glowing as well as if reacting to each other. "Kari, you should really look at this." the sound of Gatomon's voice caught both their attention and turning they saw Agumon was also glowing "What's going on?" the orange lizard exclaimed "This light make me feel a little strange...but at the same time it feels familiar...it makes me feel powerful."

Tai stared at the orange Digimon then a confident smile spread across his lips "What are you doing. Don't just feel that power use it, digivolve and take that thing down." he said

the light surrounding Agumon began to grow and above him the crest of Light appeared which then morphed into Angewoman before dissolving into a shower of white orbs which banded together and engulfed Agumon and then all of them heard a cry coming from within

AGUMON, DIGIVOLVE LIGHT MODE...GEOGREYMON

When the light died away Tai Kari Gatomon and BB stared at the new creature that towered over them, this wasn't Agumon's normal evolution but something else. Its appearance was very similar to the original Greymon, but it had spikes on the sides of its black helmet which had red stripes running down it, as well as different markings on its body, and spikes on its arms and red bands on its hands as well as an improved muscle design and also had golden eyes.

Tai pressed a button on his Digivice and a 3D hologram appeared as well as various stats "GeoGreymon," he read out loud "A Vaccine Type Dinosaur Digimon. Agumon's Champion form when he Digivolves using the power of Light. His Mega Flame and Mega Burst attack reduce the enemy to ashes."

from a distance the others looked on "No way, does this mean Agumon has an alternate evolutionary line?" Izzy said to no one in particular "You mean like when Patamon Gatomon Armadillomon Hawkmon and Veemon armour digivolve." Yolie asked "But our digivices aren't working, how did Guilmon digivolve into Growlmon and now Agumon digivolve into that thing?" Cody added "Whatever it is and however Agumon digivolved I just hope its powerful enough to defeat that thing." Ken said although no one knew a look of contempt decorated Matt's face when he saw a look of deep concern on his girlfriends face and what looked like just a touch of longing in her eyes 'Tai, please come back to us...I lost one of you already I don't won't to lose another.' she then tightened her grip on Tai's leather jacket and pulled it tighter around her, meanwhile Sora's partner Biyomon's gaze where upon the giant orange Dinosaur 'GeoGreymon.'

whether the creature was surprised by the arrival of this new opponent was unknown "Raining Doom." it cried firing another wave of its spikes "Mega Flame." GeoGreymon cried a stream of flames are spewed forth from his mouth incinerating the spikes the mutant Digimon then prepared to use its sonic attack "Hypersonic..." "Pyro Blaster." it was cut off when a fire ball slammed into the side of its head Growlmon had peeled himself off the ground and rejoin the battle.

Whilst the Digimon where engaged in battle Tai noticed light reflecting off something metal on the ground where Kari had tripped. He unwrapping his arm from around his sisters waist and walked over to it, stamping down on the ground the object rose into the air and he kicked it skywards whilst Kari and the two Digimon stared as he caught in his out stretched right hand a long uniquely designed sword.

"Whoa, thats' a nice sword." Kari said "It should be, its mine." Tai stated he then turned and looked at Kari "Get back to the others GeoGreymon Growlmon and me will take care of the Devasmon." he then charged forward the tip of the sword being dragged along the ground as he charged the creature leapt into the air did a flip before slicing his blade into the left side of the creatures face causing blood to flow from its left eye. Roaring in pain the creature tried to swing its club at Tai who jumped out of the way

"Oh no you don't." Growlmon snarled the blades on its wrists glowing with white energy "Dragon Slash." he then severed part of the creatures tail disarming it of its club more blood flying everywhere. The sound of heavy foot steps indicated GeoGreymon has about to take a more active role then he charged headlong into the creature pushing it backwards several dozen feet "Mega Flame." he cried launching his attack right in its face. As the creature howled in pain Tai charged forward sword raised, the Davasmon tried to trample on on him but Tai jumped out of the way and landed on the joint where the neck meets the body however the Devasmon began thrashing about in a attempt to shake him off, he then plunged his sword into its neck causing it to cry out in pain once more and just to increase its torment Tai began twisting the blade

"Tai, get out of there." GeoGreymon yelled then he and Growlmon launched their attacks however Tai didn't move instead he staid where was then just before the two fireballs connected leapt clear, when the smoke cleared the creature was lying on the ground on its side.

Tai knew they had to attack now the creature lay on its side its underbelly exposed "NOW." he yelled "Pyro Blaster." "Mega Flame." both Digimon launched their attacks connecting with the creature before exploding the force throwing Tai backwards several feet. Feeling very sore and drained Tai got to his feet whilst his two Digimon headed over to him returning to their Rookie forms as they did so, Tai then grabbed a red and black devise from off of his belt and pointed it at the stream of data which all that remained of the foe that had been defeated "Data download now." he cried the screen then glowed and the data stream swarmed around him before being absorbed. Tai then let out a sigh of relief as he replaced the devise it was then noticed his sleeve was ruined 'Just great.'

"TAI." he heard his name being called and turned to see Kari, with B.B. still in her arms, and the others running towards him, sheathing the sword onto his back and tore off his sleeve revealing a ugly and painful looking scar running down his his left forearm starting at the joint whilst the rest was hidden by the glove. He tried to walk towards them but if felt as if his legs were turning into mush "Tai are you alright?" he heard Agumon ask "Don't worry about me, I've been hurt a lot worse then this." he replied but then felt his head spin and his legs shake "Tai, what's wrong?" "I dunno, I all of a sudden don't feel so good." he replied breathing heavily a noise from behind caught his attention and he saw that Guilmon had collapsed. He then fell to his knees using his right hand to support himself "Tai are you alright?" he heard Kari ask "I...dunno...all of a sudden...feel...weak..." he gasped out then his arm gave out and he fell to the ground unconscious.
