Chapter 2 Across the Dark Ocean.

"Sora! Pass!" Tai yelled as he ran down the field. "I'm open!"

"Let's try it from camp," Sora yelled as she started running through the group. They were both 18 now and were on the same college soccer team. Ever since they defeated Diablomon for good, they hoped, things had been pretty quiet. They had more time for things other then saving the digital world.

"Ok, if you think you can pull it off," Tai said teasingly.

"Tai, get your mind off Sora and into the game, this is college, not some lame

high school team." The coach yelled. Tai just blushed,

"Sorry coach that isn't possible," He yelled as he started running backwards.

Sora then maneuvered around two players and as she met the third instead of going around she kicked the ball into the air with a slide kick. "Tai, now!"

"Got it," Tai said as he did a back flip kicking the ball into goal, right underneath the goalies arms.

Sora just grinned as she got near Tai, "Show off."

"Hey, I had to show the coach that I could still play well with you on the team." He defended, "Otherwise we might not have been able to play together."

"Hey you two, get your buts over here, your holding us up." The coach yelled in a fit of rage.

That night after practice, Tai and Sora came out of the locker rooms at the same time. They just looked at each other and laughed as they walked off the field. "So Tai," Sora asked as she jumped on his back and mussed his hair, "You ever gonna cut this."

"You kidding me, I wouldn't cut if the Apacalymon held me at claw point." He responded as he walked slower, having to carry the weight of two people. "Wow Sora, your lighter then Cari."

"Speaking of Cari."

"Yeah, yeah I know. I have everything worked out with T.K. My little sis ain't going to be disappointed." He said.

"What about me?" Sora asked as she got off Tai's back. "Am I going to be disappointed."

"Probably," Tai said casually.

"What." Sora was confused.

"Well considering this is the actual first date of Cari's I've spent all my time helping T.K. prepare for it. I wanted it to be a night to remember for Cari." Tai said as he put his hands behind his head on his goggles. He had got them back from Davis after they defeated Diablomon.

"You know," Sora said, "Some of those holes in your head still need filling when it comes to girls." Sora just did her "Humph," and walked off.

"What did I do this time?" Tai said out loud confused.

"You told her that you cared about another girl more then her." Cari said as she walked up behind him. "You really do need to work on how you treat Sora with other girls. Remember big bro. Ever since that incident, she's been more sensitive to you and other girls."

"I guess your right," Tai said still staring off in Sora's direction, "it's just I don't think I'll ever stand girls."

Over in the digital world Augumon was going to get Patamon, Biyomon and Gatomon.

"I sure hope Patamon was able to round those two up to the destination point. I wouldn't want to disappoint Tai or T.K. tonight." Augumon said as he trudged thru the sand. He put his claws over his face to try and block some of the sand from getting in his eyes. He could see the forest about a mile away. "Finally almost there."

"Hello Augumon." a voice said in the wind, "Remember me?"

"What," Augumon looked around and didn't see anybody. "Who's there" he said.

"What, you don't remember me?" The voice said actually hurt, then sad madly "Fine, maybe I'll haft to perform for you to get a few brain data knocked."

Augumon was still looking around, trying to find where it came from, "Perform? Your voice sure has changed Etamon; it's now more like a little girl."

"You take that back!" a little wooden boy with a mallet jumped out of the sand, "Puppet Pummel!"

Augumon jumped and rolled underneath Puppetmon, who was in mid air jump, puppetmon landed 5 feet from where Agumon just stood. They turned and faced each other. "Pepper breath!"

A small fire ball went flying from Augumon's mouth and burned puppetmon's arm slightly.

"Ow! You gave me a burned splinter!" Puppetmon said laughing; "Now it's my turn! Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon jumped up and out of his hammer came many small orbs of energy streaking towards Augumon, who jumped and threw his feet backwards, landing 2 feet from where Puppetmon attacked. "Hey, you're not allowed to do that, you're supposed to be dead now."

"Sorry pal, Tai's depending on me tonight and you won't stop me from helping him." Augumon said with renewed determination.

"Puppetmon, stop playing around and do this quickly," an unknown voice said from the wind.

"Yes master," Puppetmon said. He ran towards Augumon swinging his hammer in a horizontical motion. Augumon jumped up to avoid it and when Puppetmon swung up Augumon pushed off the hammer and did a back flip. "Pepper breath!"

Puppetmon just bashed the fireball away and then smashed Augumon with his hammer. "Taaaaai," Augumon yelled as he landed on the ground with a thud.

"Finish him," The unknown voice said.

"With pleasure, Dark Hammer," Puppetmon jumped up glowing black and swung his hammer towards Augumon.

"Taaaai," Augumon said weakly, and then he blacked out as the hammer hit him.

Betamon: You know, I think I might just go Dark master on you, Gomamon.

Gomamon: CRUD, Gotta run, I've got a Dark Master trying to kill me and I have to clean the bathroom for a week, so uh, have fun, and yeah, SOMEBODY FREAKIN HELP ME.

Frozen Twin: You brought this on yourself Gomamon no one else.

Betamon: I'll show you to GREASE AND CHICKEN ME, AND THEN THE NERVE TO INVITE RENAMON OVER, I'LL KILL YOU.

Renamon: You, know Betamon, Gomamon looks pretty good in scales.

Gomamon: Screw you Betamon, at least mine wasn't permanent. You used Gorillamon

Glue for Digital sake.

Frozen Twin: It's just Gorilla glue, not Gorillamon glue.

Betamon: You knew the consequences for invoking the wrath of a dark master, so quit complaining.

Gomamon: Well, at least you did it evenly, they actually look like they were supposed to be their and not like they were just your usual slop job you do. For that I thank you.

Renamon (chuckles quietly to self): Well, this is the disclaimer, and Kunemon go ahead and come on over.

Gomamon: WHAT, NO. I'm locking every door and window and sealing up every hole in this house.

Betamon: You know Renamon will just teleport outside, grab Kunemon, and teleport back.

Gomamon: Stupid Fox. (You get my drift.)
