No Name
By Dark Angel
I so do not own Digimon. I just own the poor idea, Dozu, and most of the teams that will be mentioned later. I do hope you like the story and plot!
That may be true, but we still have at least five adults left to save, six children to save, and four digimon to save. We need to save them all. Those who still have family out there want them home as soon as possible. It must be hard to leave it to others to save them, but they must have faith that we can and will save their loved ones.
I know there are only three left with digimon of their own as well as crests. Will, will have Tentomon but no crest, so it will be harder to find him. I shall try to find the next person, whether it be one holding the crest or Will. I can sense Courage and Friendship, but it is further off, but closer then Tentomon is.
I can sense Light is the closet one to us and Reliability is after Light. So to finish off today, we will save Kairi and rest tonight. We will go rescue Joe next, then move on to Davis. I hope that after Davis it will be Will and the children who we save last. I can't sense if Reiko is out there or not.
This means that one more day of saving friends and then the next day, it is to hunt down the Dark Lord Digimon. I open my eyes and stare at two hopeful eyes. Matt is fine now that T.K. is home safe but Izzy wants his wife and children safe and Ken wants his husband and children safe.
I am going to be breaking one's heart and giving hope to another one's. "I'm sorry Ken, but Davis is at least six hours away from here, we won't be able to get to him today. Izzy, Kairi is a few hours away from us. She is the next one to save. Unfortunately for both of you, the children seem to be last." I don't bother looking at either of their faces as I stand up and move toward my sister Kairi.
"Its fine Tai" speaks Ken moving to my left side with Wormon on his shoulder. "I at least know he's going to be fine for now. I can wait to see him. Let us get your sister and Izzy's wife back."
"Thank you" whispers Izzy.
"That still leaves after Kairi, Will, Reiko, Joe, Davis, the children, and Tentomon to save" remarks Matt on my right.
"Yes, I am unsure if Reiko is even here as I couldn't feel her. Mimi already told us that Will is here, so he will most likely be where Tentomon is, same with the children. After we save everyone, only Matt and I will stay behind in the Digital World to go after the Dark Digimon" I frown as I continue to walk, trying to figure out what I can do to defeat this Dark Digimon.
"What about us?" asks Agumon.
"Home, I won't risk your life," I answer.
"I am staying to fight with you," replies Ken to my earlier statement.
"No, you are going home with your children and Davis," rebukes Matt knowing what it is I want.
"We can't leave you two here along against this guy" growls Izzy for the first time I believe.
"You will," I say flatly and everyone drops the conversation for the time being.
I know how much they want to help me out, but I don't think they will be able to do much about it. The Dark Digimon is aiming for me and me only. If that damn voice hadn't said that I needed Matt, he would be going with them. I don't want to risk their life for anything in this or our world.
We are now in the middle of the forest and standing in front of me is my sister. God, I can't believe I have to go up against my very own blood. This must be how the others felt up against their loved ones and will feel. I take a deep breath and wait for her to move first or Gatomon move.
If I know my sister, she has already told Gatomon what to do and is now waiting on us. Agumon, Gabumon, and Wormon are ready to intercept Gatomon as soon as she moves. Matt and Ken are ready to restrain Kairi as soon as Gatomon is away from her. Izzy will be our look out this time.
"Well, well, well, I didn't expect you to get past T.K. It seems that he went easy on you," sneers Kairi glaring at me.
"Perhaps, underestimated my digimon partner and friends" I reply calmly.
"As we are not ourselves and being controlled, we cannot call out our digimon's full power. Thus going easy on you is our only option," remarks Kairi as she starts to pace back and forth in one spot.
"Hn, how are you going to stop us from freeing you and moving on?" asks Ken.
"I'm not," answers Kairi.
My eyes widen, and I believe the others did too. If she is not going to stop us, that means we are going to move on from here rather quickly.
"Then let's get to the freeing the mind now" snaps Izzy.
"I'm afraid that that is not going to be an easy feat. You will have to catch me first" chuckles Kairi as she flickers black and color.
"Damn, she's going to the Darkness World," growls Ken flickering with Kairi.
"Bring her back," I say just before the two disappear.
"It seems, this will be harder than the others," sighs Matt sitting down as Gatomon curls up into a ball.
"He led us to believe this would be easy but instead it is harder" curses Izzy keeping his eyes open for the two to appear again.
"Might as well wait, they could be anywhere over there. It might take him a while to get her" I nod my head to Matt.
I rest my head on Matt's shoulder. There is nothing we can do while Ken chases Kairi around in the Darkness World. Only those two can go into the world. He's getting smarter, using what they have for an advantage against us in order to win. I look in time to dodge a claw from Gatomon.
Damn, he must have waited for me to lower my guard. "Agumon" I shout dodging Gatomon's claws.
"Tai" shouts Agumon as him and Wormon and Gabumon go on the attack.
I turn to see what Izzy was doing and it seems that he isn't paying attention to anything at all. I walk up to him and place my hand on his forehead. Calling forth his crest and removing the mind control before it can set into his mind. He snaps back to attention and swears when he see the Digimon fighting against each other.
I can't believe that I didn't think about this kind of attack. I should list all of the advantages the others can have with their digimon powers in the rookie form and because of themselves. Joe's will deal with water, Davis with speed, and Tentomon with electricity.
It is going to difficult to tell what way they will use the advantage until we meet them face to face. I should have known that Kairi would use the Darkness World to her advantage. I look up in time to see Ken and Kairi flicker back into the Digital World. Ken has Kairi by her upper left arm.
I walk over to the two of them and place my hand on her forehead drawing forth her Crest of Light. She is a fighter and I know as soon as she can fight against the mind control she will. I remove my hand a minute later because she doesn't take long to start fighting off his control.
I dodge an attack by Gatomon as Agumon chases her down. Damn, she is one slippery digimon cat. Kairi better hurry up and free herself so she can stop Gatomon from actually hurting me. I dodge another attack as Gatomon evades Gabumon. I move to dodge her next attack when Kairi grabs Gatomon from behind.
I sit down with a heavy sigh next to Ken who seems to be hurting from going over to the Darkness World. Now we have to wait for her to break the control on Gatomon. We'll send her back and get some sleep. We'll head for Joe next in the morning after eating something.
We wait for Kairi to free Gatomon from the mind control so that we can set up camp and get some sleep tonight. I'll have to try to get up early tomorrow, so that I don't wake up to another digimon telling us to hurry our asses up. Kairi lifts her head and runs over to me, dropping to her knees.
"Is that you Tai?" asks Kairi looking right at me.
"Yeah" I nod my head smiling up at her.
She hugs me before she moves on to hug and kiss Izzy, her husband. She doesn't give us any new information on what is going on. I stand up and start help with making camp for the night. Ken will send her back as soon as he sets up the computer to do so. We leave Izzy and Kairi to be alone for a while because they need each other to stay strong for their child.
"Time to go Kairi" speaks Ken as the portal opens.
"We'll send Tifa along with Izzy as soon as we save her. Go home and rest," I state hugging Kairi one last time before she goes into the portal.
"Let's eat and get to sleep," remarks Matt as he finishes cooking us a meal.
"Agreed, we have another long day ahead of us," says Ken stretching his back as he sits down.
"Are you ok?" I ask Ken.
"Yeah, it's hard to flicker into the Darkness World after a long period of time. Kairi must have flickered many times before we came to her" answers Ken. "I'll be fine in a few hours time." Ken eats his plate full before continuing. "The Darkness World isn't a place to take lightly as many dark spirits, digimon, and humans reside there. Those there want Kairi and me to become King and Queen of their world. I not only had to find your sister and wife but I had to fight off those who live in the Darkness World."
"Get some sleep, we'll head out as early as possible tomorrow morning" speaks Izzy as we all settle down in the tents for the night.
I wake up early this morning because Matt shakes me awake. I guess he is used to getting up early in the morning for his band. I move out and we begin to pack up the camp area. I close my eyes and try to pinpoint where Joe is waiting for us. It seems he isn't trying to hide that he is next on our list of friends to free.
I don't say anything as we head out towards Joe. I wonder what kind of water challenge we will face against Joe and Gomamon. It has to be water, because Gomamon has an advantage in the water and we do not. A few hours into the walk, we come upon a lake, well now I know what they are going to use.
Joe is standing in the middle of a huge lake on a rock. Gomamon is nowhere in sight. It means Gomamon is in the water. We stop at the edge of the lake and I can see Joe motioning us to him with a finger. He wants us to go through the lake to him, but I can't chance going into the water. Gomamon will attack me.
"Bring him to me," I state. "Gomamon is in the water somewhere and I can't risk going into the water without Gomamon attacking me."
"Agumon, Gabumon blast the water and try to find Gomamon," shouts Matt running into the water behind his digimon.
"Wormon spin a web to the rock for Tai to walk across" says Ken.
I watch as Wormon spins the web to the rock while Matt, Izzy, Gabumon, and Agumon defend the web. Ken and I use the web to start across the web. Gomamon pops up a few times trying to knock me off the web but Ken keeps me steady as Agumon and Gabumon blast around us.
Matt is behind us a few minutes away and Izzy is in front a few minutes away, ready to catch me if I should fall off. It seems everyone is doing their best to get me across without hitting the water and become an easy target for Gomamon. This just sucks, they have to defend me in order to help me help our friends become free.
Gomamon jumps up right beside me and smacks me in the face. I fall off the web and into the water. Matt and Izzy get to me at the same time as Ken reaches down to grab my hand. They try to get me out of the water but Gomamon pulls me down by one of my feet. I kick at Gomamon, not really wanting to hurt him but to free myself so I don't drown.
Matt frees me. Izzy pulls me up onto the rock in the middle of the lake. Coughing up some water, I watch as Ken keeps Joe at bay. I get up with the help of Matt and walk up to Joe. I place my hand on his forehead and call forth his Crest of Reliability. Joe has never failed to be someone we can count on.
I remove my hand a few minutes later and sit down on the rock. We now must wait for Joe to do the rest, to free himself from the mind control. I'm so glad that there are only a few more friends left to rescue before we can move on to the Dark Digimon. We move to the other side of the river while Agumon makes a fire to dry off our clothes.
Joe stands up and grabs Gomamon just as he tries to attack me on land. He didn't take very long to get free from the mind control. As soon as he is done, we will be moving on to Davis. Ken must be happy that his lover, husband, and mother of their children are up next for us to free.
Joe looks up and takes us in. "Reiko didn't come to the Digital World, so she is safe" he remarks looking right at me. "It seems, you made a lot of enemies. Once Gomamon is safe, we'll travel with you guys until the children are safe."
"Understood," I reply nodding my head and moving to find Davis.
