Tai was awoken by the sound of his bedroom door closing, he caught a small glimpse of Kari before she could fully shut the door. Well Tai was awake now, so he did what he usually did when he couldn't sleep, he listened to music. Tai got up and put in an Ozzy Osbourne CD and went back to his bed, dragging his feet the whole way.
He just lied on his bed while listening to Soul sucker, Digging me down and countless other Ozzy songs. Kari was in the living room so she couldn't hear the songs too well, the words just came out muffled, she actually couldn't hear them at all because she had the TV on.
Kari took all the noise from Tai's room as an opportunity, made her way to the phone and dialed Izzy's number.
The phone rang about four times before it was answered, "Hello?"
"Izzy?"
"Yeah?"
"Its me Kari, I think I know a very simple way to get Sora and Tai together."
"What? Is that so?"
"Yeah I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier."
"And what might that plan be?"
"Show Sora Tai's journal."
There was silence on Izzy's end for several seconds, but finally he spoke again, "Your going to need help with that, looks like this will be complicated after all."
Kari didn't know what Izzy was talking about, so she asked, "Huh? How so?"
"Well you need to get Tai away long enough so you can get his journal and show it to Sora."
"Yeah."
"You will also need someone to keep Matt away in case he decides to drop by."
"Yeah."
"And finally, your going to need someone to keep Mimi away and a way to bypass the fact that Matt and Sora are dating. But don't sweat it, I've got all of that handled."
"Ok thanks Izzy."
"No problem, now we need to inform the others, I'll call them and then we'll all meet at the milkshake bar ok?"
"Got it Izzy, when should we meet there?"
"In about an hour."
"Ok got it, bye."
"Goodbye Kari."
Kari hung up the phone and went to get dressed out of her sleepover outfit. It took Kari about ten minuets to get undressed and get redressed, she then came out of her room, sat on the couch and waited. She decided to wait because the milk shake bar is a ten minuet walk, and she has a little over fourty five minuets so she would wait for a couple of minuets. She waited for about thirty minuets and then silently turned off the TV, slipped out of the apartment and headed towards the milk shake bar. She arrived about five minuets early but Izzy, Ken and Joe were already there.
They greeted her and she took a seat, they waited for the others to arrive and one by one they did except for Davis. Davis was the last to arrive. As he sat down Izzy began to speak, it was planning time. Back at the apartment Tai's CD finished it's last track, but he couldn't hear any noise from anywhere else in the apartment, so he slowly got up and opened his bedroom door. Tai's door was fully open but no sight of Kari, "Kari? Kari?"
Tai slowly exited his room and began looking for Kari, he didn't find her in the kitchen, or the living room, or her room or the bathroom, Tai quickly became panicked, "Kari!"
Tai quickly put on his shoes and ran out of the apartment, down the stairs and out the lobby door. Tai searched for about thirty minutes in alleyways, Yolei's house and Yolei's family's shop. When he didn't find her there, he looked in the park, when he couldn't find her there he went to the place he thought he should have checked first, Matt's house. When he arrived he knocked on the door and who else but Matt answers the door. "Yo whats up Tai?"
Tai had to withhold his anger when he made eye contact with Matt, but he couldn't help but release some of it into an attitude when he spoke, "Nothing that concerns you, now wheres TK?"
Matt didn't like Tai's attitude, but he answered, "At the milk shake bar, and if it has anything to do with my brother than its my business."
Tai's anger increased a little bit at this, "Forget it, just go back to your usual full of shit lifestyle."
Tai quickly made his way to the milk shake bar, hoping to find Kari there and then scream her ear off for leaving without telling him. But at the same time he was fighting hard to keep his mind off of how much he wanted to murder Matt. Matt was angered by Tai's remark, how dare his best friend talk about him like that, yeah he figured that Tai would be devastated that he was dating Sora, but he loved her just as much as Tai did. At least that's what he thought. Matt had felt bad for doing it, but he loved Sora and he just couldn't let Tai have her. Infuriated with his guilt and Tai's words he quickly ran down the street trying to catch up with Tai.
Tai finally arrived at the milk shake bar, he looked through the glass door and saw all of the previous and new digidestined, the only ones that were missing where Tai himself, Matt, Sora and Mimi. You see Tai was only jogging his way down the street while Matt was sprinting after him, so he didn't have much trouble catching up. Just as Tai was about to grab the door handle, Matt caught up with him, "What is up with you and your moody attitude Tai?"
Tai slowly turned around and came face to face with Matt, everyone of the digidestined had now noticed the two outside and just looked on at what was about to happen. Tai couldn't hold all of his anger in any longer, so he let some of it out, "Whats up with me? Whats up with you? you knew I loved Sora and yet you took her from me anyway, you bastard!"
Matt was now exploding with his anger, now all most all of his common sense had left him. Sora had seen Tai rushing out of his apartment and down the stairs, she already knew what he was so frantic about, it was Kari she heard him call her name. Sora followed Tai up until the milk shake bar, she was now watching the spectacle that was going on between Tai and Matt, and she had heard every word they had said so far. She was out of there sight so she just continued to watch. Matt then released some of his anger, "I stole her? Tai I think its clear that she chose me over you, she made her choice and guess what? It was the right choice!"
Tai couldn't take it anymore, he had never felt so much anger towards one human being before, his anger had been building up for four whole months, he just couldn't take it anymore, he finally released it all into a raging frenzy, "You Fucking trader!"
Tai threw a right handed haymaker strait at Matt's face and it fully connected knocking him onto his ass, down onto the sidewalk. Matt was bleeding from the mouth. but not too badly, so he got up, wiped the blood that was trickling from his mouth down onto his chin onto his sleeve and wiped the dust off of him. He then approached Tai and brought up his knee extremely quick, slamming it into Tai's gut, Tai felt the crushing blow of Matt's knee to his gut, causing him to spit up a bit of blood, but he didn't go down. Tai then gave Matt a punch to the gut knocking the wind out of him, this caused Matt to hunch over in pain and spit up a bit of blood as well.
Tai then delivered a right handed uppercut, with all his might, directly to Matt's jaw. This caused Matt to be knocked about two to three feet into the air, he then landed extremely hard onto the concrete sidewalk, so hard in fact there was a loud thud. Sora watched in horror as the two fought over her.
Mimi was just taking a stroll in the city when she caught sight of the long coming battle that was going on between Tai and Matt. Everyone of the digidestined were so focused on the battle between the two strongest people, not just physically, but mentally as well among them, that they didn't notice the dark clouds looming over them. It began to rain but no one even really noticed as they watched Tai and Matt fight, but when lightning and thunder hit the scene people knew it was raining. But they just stood and looked on at the battle taking place before them.
Matt slowly got off the ground, breathing hard with a hateful look in his eyes directed strait at Tai. But Tai had a look of extreme hatred and rage that made Matt's look like a puppy dog pout. Matt then began to speak, "You don't deserve her Tai, your too reckless, too idiotic and too dangerous. Just accept the fact that Sora chose me and move on with your life, face the truth Tai, I'm just better than you!"
"How dare you! You have taken the one person I care about more than anything, and for that I will send you strait to hell!"
"I'll see you there!"
Tai and Matt then rushed at each other, ready to kill one and other, Sora was horrified she couldn't take this, Tears were slowly rolling down her face as she began to scream, "Please stop it!"
But before Sora could stop Tai and Matt, before any of the other digidestined could move, and before Tai and Matt could kill each other everyone of the digidestined were sucked up into a warp hole in the sky. At first Tai didn't even notice what was going on, he just suddenly started seeing black and hearing something, someone screaming. Wait he knew that voice, it was Sora! Tai didn't have time to try and say anything as he blacked out, when he came to he was staring up at the digital world sky. Tai slowly got off the ground and dusted himself off, he began to hastily look around, "Sora! Sora! Sora are you out there?"
When no answer came Tai knew he would have to find her and fast. But before Tai could even take a step he heard a voice, "Boy come to me."
Tai instantly froze at the sound of the voice he had hoped to never hear again. But before he could react he was put in a choke hold by none other than Matt himself. Tai tried to fight it but he had lost some of his adrenaline when he heard the voice, it disturbed him to even think about that thing still being alive. Matt had it locked in tight so it would have been hard to break it if Tai was ready to fight, but now that he was caught off guard it was damn near impossible. But Matt finished himself off when he uttered some of the few words that would get Tai's adrenaline pumping again, "Now its over, now I will come out the victor and I wont have to worry about you anymore. Sora is mine."
Tai was furious once again, he forgot about that voice just as fast as it appeared, Tai tossed his head back and it slammed right into Matt's face. The back headbutt broke Matt's nose so it was now pouring blood, Tai quickly capitalized on this and gave Matt a strong right hook to the face. Matt jerked to the left, Tai then brought his left arm back and shot it forward, slamming his left fist into Matt's gut, hitting him with a hard left handed jab.
This caused Matt to hunch over in pain, Tai once again took advantage and grabbed Matt's head, he then brought his knee up with incredible force, slamming it into Matt's face. This caused Matt to fall back and slam onto the ground, Tai then quickly back paced until he was about fifteen feet away from Matt, he then ran strait at him and just as he sat up he got Tai's trademark ultimate soccer kick right to the face.
After that Matt was out cold, before Tai could move another muscle he heard the voice once again, "Now kill him, kill him, no one would know."
Tai once again froze, no matter how much he hated Matt and how he stole Sora away from him even knowing how much he loved her, he hated the being who's voice was speaking to him just as much. Besides Tai could never have what it takes to kill someone, not even someone as despicable as Matt. So he resisted and as soon as he showed this resistance the voice disappeared. Tai stood there just staring at Matt's bloodied face, Tai couldn't think of what to do, should he help him after what he's done to him?
Tai did some soul searching and had decided on what he had to do, but seeing Matt's face just stopped that plan dead in its tracks. Tai slowly walked over to Matt's unconscious body, Tai looked down at his defeated rival for Sora's heart and began to cry, he then spoke, "Looks like I won the fight, but Matt you have won the most precious thing in both the real world and the digital world, You have won Sora's heart. There is no victory that could compare to that, treat her good Matt. Because if you don't treat her like the most precious, the most caring, the smartest and the most beautiful girl in both the real and digital worlds, then let me tell you, I'll save a personal place in hell, just for you."
With that said, Tai slowly walked off into the forest in search of any of the other digidestined.
