Yes I know I know it's been forever and I am sorry. I had history essays, math, archeaology and chemistary and I still have a mock exam in two weeks for history plus my chemistary pratical exam on tritaions. Oh and my computer broke but luckily I didn't lose the chapters, I just had no internet. So sorry but it's kind of tough.
On to the story!
"Huh, it's Tentomon!" Kari said looking up. I looked to see the red beetle landing in the train car.
"All aboard, I just love riding trains. Where's the dining car." Tentomon said.
"Nowhere." I told him.
"An email from Izzy." Cody said suddenly. We looked at him.
"Has he found them yet?" Kari asked.
"Apparently Ken and Metalgreymon have been seen south of here." Cody said.
"We're on the right track." Matt noted.
"Well technically we're on the only track." Tentomon informed him.
"Alright Digidestined this time we'll get Agumon back for sure." Tai encouraged in full leader mode.
"Yeah. There's no way that Ken can stop all of us." Matt agreed as Tay's wingman. Then a look of realisation came over him. "Uh but just encase, Tentomon I need your help." Matt said looking at the red Digimon.
"Now, I was going to have my shell waxed." Tentomon moaned.
"I want you to go and search for Garurumon." Matt explained.
"Garurumon huh, okay. I'll be back in a flash." Tentomon said before leaving.
"Good thinking Matt." I approved.
"Huh hold on a minute. Are you saying that you're planning for us to fight Metalgreymon?" Davis asked shocked.
"Yeah." Tai agreed in a sad tone.
"With all of us together I think we stand a chance. There are just something's that have to be done. Am I right Tai?" Matt explained firmly looking at his friend.
"Yeah." Tai repeated in that same tone. I couldn't imagine how much this must be hurting Tai.
"I'm not so sure guys. What makes you think we'll be able to defeat Ken and Metalgreymon?" Davis noted. What on earth? Wasn't he courage? Shouldn't he be saying that to TK or someone? That's how this normally went.
"What makes you think we can't?" TK asked irritated.
"Yeah Davis, we can do this together!" I agreed.
"Who asked you?" Davis yelled.
"I'm speaking from experience. We have to fight because if we don't then we'll never save Agumon. What are you so afraid of anyway Davis?" TK retorted. I never thought anyone would be able to say that Davis was afraid but what are you going to do?
"Who said anything about being afraid. I just don't want to see Agumon get hurt that's all TS." Davis yelled back.
"No one said we have to hurt him. All we have to do is getting rid of that dark ring." TK pointed out.
"Davis you know that, what's really the problem?" I asked standing and stepping closer to him.
"And how do you propose we remove it especially without hurting Agumon. Any bright ideas under that fancy hat." Davis shouted ignoring me.
"At least I'm trying goggle-head and don't make fun of my hat." TK shouted in return. Davis snapped then and I got knocked to the ground as Davis pushed past me and started wrestling. I gritted my teeth as I moved to my knees holding back tears. I held my arm against my chest. As the guys fought with everyone trying to stop them until Tai and Matt told them it was good for friendship.
"Guy's Sacra's hurt!" Lalamon told them before I could stop her.
"What!" Tai yelled vaulting over the wall in-between the cars and landing in front of me.
"Sakura." Matt shouted rushing to the wall and looking over. Tai put his hands under my elbows and helped me up gently. Then he sat me on the wall as Matt took me to there side. Matt set me on the ground against the far wall.
"Matt?" TK asked his voice slightly high from worry.
"Tai?" Kari added with a similar tone.
"It's just a sprain. I'll get Izzy to make sure Joe's there to meet us. We should put it in a sling though, just in case." Matt told them. TK and Kari both sighed in relief.
"I'm fine, I just won't use it." I told them. Matt gave me a you better be joking or I'm going to get mad look while Tai just got his stern leader expression.
"Sakura, you are not continuing on this mission with an injured arm unless it's in a sling at least." Tai told me firmly.
"Tay's right Sakura, health and safety comes first. What if a stray blast or something catches you? Even a light fall from that could turn that sprain into a break. You should be going home anyway but we're quite far from a TV at this point." Matt supported his friend. I sighed and nodded knowing that I wasn't going to win. I gasped.
"STOP!" I screamed standing but being careful not to knock my arm. I nearly failed when the "train" came to a halt but Matt caught me. "We're at our destination." I told them pointing. They turned and there was a collective gasp.
"Who could of carved that!" Yolei asked.
"Someone with a really big chisel?" TK suggested.
"It kind of looks like my crest of friendship but why would someone go to the trouble of craving that into the side of a wall?" Matt noted.
"I think the egg's in there." Cody told them as his Digivice reacted to the rock. Davis and Veemon ran forward to take a look.
"Big foot was here." He said looking at the giant hole.
"What's down there?" Tai asked as the rest of us ran up to it.
"Looks like a flip-flop with a bent nail in it." Kari noted looking at the Digi-egg.
"Does everyone have a tetanus shot?" TK asked.
"It's got that same symbol." Davis realised.
"Yep, it's definitely has the crest of friendship on it all right. I wonder if it's meant for you Matt?" Tai suggested.
"Or maybe it's meant for the one with the most friends." Matt countered grinning at Tai.
"Or maybe it's meant for the fewest friends, like me." Davis pointed out.
"Davis you have tonnes of friends." I told him shaking my head.
"Yeah, and you have a perfect home." Davis replied giving me a look.
"Davis!" Tai yelled furiously turning on him. Davis held up his hand.
"Hey, I don't want the details but I thought you deserved to know I knew." Davis assured me ignoring Tai. Well I didn't expect Davis to be the first to learn about that. My money would have been on Cody, maybe even Yolei but not Davis. Still I was glad he felt I should know that he knew. It meant he respected me enough for that.
"Someone should try to pick it up after all what's the worse that could happen?" Cody said taking the attention back to the egg. Davis turned back to the others.
"Well it could be a trap set up by the Digimon Emperor." Yolei pointed out.
"It's not his style but that doesn't mean it's perfectly safe." I noted.
"I don't think it would be booby-trapped. After all, it's emblazoned with the crest of friendship." Matt pointed out reasonably.
"Then I think you should go for it Matt." Tai suggested.
"Wish me luck, just encase." Matt said before walking into the hole and grabbing the egg. He pulled and tried to lift it failing miserably. "No luck." He said letting go.
"Cody why don't you give it a try?" Tai asked looking at the youngest member of our team.
"Okay." Cody said going to the hole as Matt stepped out of his way. He made his attempt to lift it. "I should have had a bigger breakfast." He said shaking his head. He walked up to me and I gave him a smile.
"What did Davis mean?" He whispered so no one could here him.
"It's nothing, I need to talk to him about it mind." I replied in a whisper glancing at Davis. Cody nodded but I could tell he wasn't satisfied. He was a smart kid and knew something was up.
"Alright Tai, it's your turn." Matt said.
"Okay." Tai agreed going to try.
"Lift Tai lift. Lift Tai lift." The others chanted cheering him on. Tai eventually had to stop and lean forward catching his breath. The others groaned.
"Alright, which one of you is next?" Matt asked. TK was obviously the first to answer his brother's call. Kari also tried. Then Yolei. "I think I'm done." TK said as he gave up.
"Me to." Kari agreed as she stopped. Yolei just fell back and hit her head.
"I think you guys are going about this all wrong." Davis noted. Huh? What did he mean? I knew it wasn't working but what was wrong?
"So you think you can lift it up?" Tai asked.
"Yeah you just have to use physics." Davis replied. Hold up, he had an explanation, and a scientific one at that.
"What do you mean?" Matt asked interested. Davis looked rather embarrassed.
"You see in physics there's this little thing called equilibrium. When you have two Librium's that weigh the same their equilibrium." Davis said. I shook my head. And here I thought he was using that brain of his.
"That makes perfect sense to me." Tai agreed.
"Huh?" Cody said not quite believing.
"Um, you know Tai I was just making that stuff up. I really don't know anything about Physics I usually leave all that stuff up to professors and scientists and Izzy. I didn't think you'd take me seriously.
"Oh I'm sick of all your blathering Davis! You're the only one who hasn't tried yet so just get in the hole!" Matt yelled as he and Tai grabbed him.
"Yeah lift that Digi-egg up so we can get out of here!" Tai agreed shoving him.
"Hey I could poke my eye out." Davis yelled back. He looked at the egg and got into a ready stance. "Okay this shouldn't be to hard." He noted. He took a breath. "One, two three." He made a feeble attempt to lift it. "I can't do it, I give up." He said. Just then we all had to cover our ears as the most horrible nail on a chalkboard sound could be heard. "Ah what's that terrible noise?" Davis yelled over it.
"It's hurting my ears." Yolei shouted.
"Something's coming." TK noted looking up.
"Deadly sting." Said a Flymon launching its stinger. Davis, Matt and Tai barely avoided the stingers. The rest of us also had to dodge. "Patamon!" TK yelled as his friend got his.
"Lets do it!" Veemon yelled.
"Right pal." Davis agreed activating the digivolution. Flamedramon appeared and attacked the Flymon.
"Hawkmon!" Yolei said making a stupid pose.
"Right." Hawkmon agreed. Halsemon attacked the Flymon with Tempest Wing.
"Here he comes again." Matt said. The Flymon made that awful sound again and I fell to the ground covering my ears. Lalamon went closer to me.
"Huh, Patamon is gone?" TK cried realising his partner was gone.
"Where'd he go?" Kari asked concerned.
"Did he run away?" Matt suggested not believing it.
"No, look up! There he is." Yolei yelled. I looked up to see. Flymon was leaving with Patamon captured.
"Help TK! Help!" Patamon cried.
"Hang on Patamon we'll save you!" TK screamed back.
"But how! He's getting away!" Kari yelled.
"Patamon!" TK yelled running after his friend. Davis, Flamedramon and Halsemon were right on his tail.
"I think we're gaining." Flamedramon said before Metalgreymon blocked their path causing Davis and TK to fall down.
"Where do you think your going?" The Emperor asked from up top.
"Metalgreymon." Tai yelled.
"TK, Davis, get out of there!" Matt called urgently. The boys stood up as the Emperor laughed. Ken's eyes flickered to me and he scowled.
"What, happened to Sakura?" He asked in a dead voice.
"I'm fine, I fell that's all." I said shaking my head. Ken looked like he wanted to say more but the Flymon went up to him.
"Here's your knew play toy your evilness." It said holding Patamon out.
"Patamon! But him down!" TK shouted panic taking over anger.
"No, I'm just getting started with him." Ken said holding up a spiral.
"He's got more dark rings." TK said. Everyone gasped with horror.
"What does he have planned?" Kari asked in a small voice.
"You can be sure it's something bad." Tai noted.
"When I put this on your little friend here I will have complete control over him and I can make him do anything I want." He boasted. Then he turned to Patamon. "Do you here that? I'm going to make you do my laundry one piece at a time and then I'll…"
"I'll never let you get away with this!" TK interrupted him furiously.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm planning my evil deeds." The Emperor snapped. Flamedramon growled and readied his attack.
"Hold it Flamedramon!" Davis ordered. Flamedramon looked at Davis like he was crazy. "You might accidentally miss and his Patamon." He explained.
"I'm such a hot head, sorry." Flamedramon apologised.
"Ken, let Patamon go." I tried to reason with him. He looked at me.
"Tell you what, you come with me and I'll let them both go." He bargained.
"Fine." I whispered.
"NO! I not about to break my promise twice!" Davis shouted.
"Huh?" Everyone including Ken turned to look at him.
"Davis Motomiya, also known as the soccer star and never went anywhere with out his jersey on. The one of the best tag team at the pre-school along with Ken Ichijouji with their sidekick and one girl cheer squad Sakura Tenshi." He said. I felt the memories wash over me. Davis and Ken winning matches at playtime while I cheered them on from the sidelines. I had actually gone to pre-school because my mum had paid the fees in advance before she died.
"That's right, we never lost unless we were playing against each other to practise." Ken remembered.
"I went over to your houses almost everyday, but one day you followed me to mine." I realised.
"That was when we learned your secret, and when we made our promise." Davis continued.
"To protect our angel no matter the cost." They finished in unison.
"You guys." I said tears coming to my eyes.
"A few months later I moved to where I live now, I lost contact with Ken and Sakura until I became a Digidestined. I didn't realise that Sakura was the same girl until I played against Ken and we learned he was the Emperor. That made it click." Davis finished the story.
"I don't quite follow you, what was so important about her house?" Yolei asked confused.
"I think I know." Cody said in a small voice as he walked up to me and touched one of my scars. I saw tears in his eyes so I smiled and pulled him against me. He wrapped his little arms around me sobbing into my side.
"Ken, I making another promise. A promise to return you to the kind boy you used to be because you guys are always my true friends." Davis said raising his hand. The Digi-egg flew to it hovering above his flat palm. Flamedramon de-Digivolved and nodded.
"Digi-armour energise." Davis said firmly. Veemon Digivolved to a new Digimon, Raidramon. Raidramon let Davis climb on and they jumped up. Raidramon shot some lightning at the dark ring destroying. They kept going and Davis grabbed Patamon and held him as they landed. Metalgreymon went back to Agumon and collapsed. Raidramon went passed as Ken landed safely landed on his feet. Davis scooped up Agumon and gave the rookies to there respective partners. Ken stood up and was about to call for some back up when Garurumon appeared and landed behind us. Ken looked at the blue wolf Digimon before scowling and leaving on his Airdramon.
"You okay angel?" Davis asked me as Raidramon turned to Veemon.
"Yep soccer star." I said with laugh.
"Davis?" Yolei said coming over.
"Huh, what's up?" Davis asked the purple haired girl.
"I just wanted to say, that you did a good job today." She said before leaving to talk to Kari.
"What was that about?" Davis asked the air.
"Don't ask me, I have enough trouble understanding the digital ladies let alone human girls." Veemon noted.
"Davis." I said softly. He looked at me and then to where I was pointing. I saw emotions flash over his face as he saw Kari standing over TK who was reuniting with Patamon. Tai was talking to a newly awakened Agumon while Matt and Garurumon chatted glancing at everyone occasionally. "TK! Can I talk to you for a minute!" Davis called.
"Ah, Davis!" Veemon asked worried. I noticed that Matt had stiffened and wasn't taking his eyes of Davis while Tai was doing the same except he occasionally glanced at Kari who just looked worried that a fight would break out. Yolei and Cody were ignoring it mainly but I knew they were paying attention.
"What is it Davis?" TK asked ready for a fight.
"Kari's special, she deserves someone who knows that." Davis noted simply. TK nodded.
"Yeah, what of it?" He replied.
"Nothing." Davis said shrugging before walking away.
"Huh?" TK could only gap at Davis retreating figure as he sat on a rock talking to Veemon.
"Davis." Kari noted sadly looking at him.
"I think Davis just grew up." Matt said.
"It takes courage to let someone go." Tai sounded like he spoke from experience.
"You mean he, he's…" TK was just lost I think.
"I don't really understand all this." Cody noted. He hadn't left my side since Davis story. I guess he was someone else who was over protective.
"You will. It's something that comes with experience." I assured him.
"So tell us! What is the full story! I want the facts!" Yolei shouted as we appeared in the computer room. I sighed and nodded. I looked at the sunset in the window and frowned.
"Tai, Matt can you arrange an alibi for everyone? Computer club over running or something?" I asked.
"Sure thing." Matt agreed.
"We'll be back as soon possible." Tai said.
"Please tell my mum that I'll come home with Sakura or someone else in the group so she doesn't worry." Cody added as they left.
"Sure thing!" Tai yelled back. The others looked at me. I smiled and sat down. Davis sat on the ground next to me while Cody pulled up a chair. TK sat backwards on the computer chair with Kari on the desk just to his right. Yolei sat in another seat. I took a breath.
"My dad is called Karl Tenshi. He was married to my mother, Miranda Tenshi. Just before I started Pre-school my mother died. After mum died my father started hitting me. He told me I was useless. He said that I was worthless and I believed him. My mum had paid my pre-school fees so I went there with Davis and Ken. Davis moved before the end of the year and I lost contact with Ken when he moved a few months later. The next major event in my life was when me going to summer camp thanks to an aunt who we'd forgotten wanting me to meet my cousin. You all heard that story so I'll skip to after we came back. I went back to my father who continued his hit and insult pattern. Then one day, he came back drunk. Very drunk. I was in hospital for weeks." I cut of with a sob unable to go one. By now everyone was giving me horrified looks. "After that I went into a state of depression. I was cutting myself along with getting beaten up. Then a digital gate opened. I arrived in Primary Village where I was joined Lalamon, Ken, Wormmon, Ryo and Veemon. We were travelling to visit Gennai when Millenniummon attacked. We managed to defeat him eventually after an adventure that would take way to long to tell. That was when Ken fell sick. It that sickness that made Ken evil I know it. He got a virus or something, this isn't his fault!" I told them. They were silent no one willing to speak. I took a breath. "After Ken healed in the Digital World we went home. Ken suffered a relapse much to our dismay. I decided to run away from home and live on the streets rather than stay near my father. One day when we were visiting Ken Ryo found a quiz on his computer. I told him not to but he finished the quiz and was sent to the digital world. He never came back. The other Digidestined didn't bother look for him even when I sent the distress call. They abandoned him. I left Earth and went to the digital world to search for him. Over the years I visited Ken and emailed him often. I saw his descent to the Digimon Emperor. Then Tai released the D-3"s and Davis came to the Digital World. You know the rest." I said.
"Tai better forgive me for this." Kari muttered. Everyone looked at her. Kari looked at me and sighed. "Ryo didn't disappear. He left after being betrayed by his friends." She said.
"Kari, we can't tell. We promised Matt and Tai." TK told her.
"No! I'm sick of lying. Ryo left because he was betrayed by us!" Kari yelled standing.
"K-Kari?" I stammered shocked at the usually calm and sweet girl losing her temper.
"That quiz was a trick made by the legendary guardians to get Ryo back to the digital world. He entered a competition to supposedly find the best tamer but in reality it was training for Ryo so he could battle Millenniummon again. He won but he didn't trust us anymore. He left our world through a portal that went to another dimension. No one has heard from him since. Tai planed the whole thing under orders. Matt and Mimi were called in as well though they didn't know. Matt and Tai told us but made us promise not to tell anyone." She explained. There was a stunned silence while TK looked uncomfortable.
"Kari that was so far past wrong!" Davis yelled furiously. Everyone looked at him.
"Davis, I know." She said meekly.
"No, I don't think you do. You knew how much she was missing her friends. You knew what the slightest news of them would mean to her. Even if it was like that she needed to know." He said harshly. I stood up and went to the computer opening the digital gate. I wasn't going to stay with people like this. I could survive in the Digital World easily.
"Sakura?" Cody asked worried. I froze. Cody. I gulped and closed my eyes.
"I'm sorry Cody, I just can't." I told him before shooting through the portal.
Well there we go, can you guess were she's going? If you can't then you'll have to wait till next time. Which will not be like two weeks plus. Sorry again for the delay. Kal out!
