Chapter 14

A Plan and an Upgrade

As the Digidestined got back to headquarters, Tai and T.K reverted back to their normal forms and collapsed on the couches in the computer room.

"Tai are you alright?" Sora asked.

"Yeah… just tired… that blast took a lot out of me… do we have any food?" Tai asked with his eyes only half open.

"yeah just a sec." Matt said as he went to the food dispensing unit. "One pizza"

"Thanks Matt." Tai said weakly. As he ate he began to regain some of his strength.

"No problem man. Now what was so important that we had to get back here as soon as possible?" Matt asked.

"Nicole, bring up all files on CyberWarmon's scanner device and project it in here." Tai said.

"Processing…Projecting." DANA said.

A holographic image of the scanner appeared over the center table. One image showed a pair of what looked like sunglasses and another image showed small computer chips and scanners inside the glasses frames.

"Izzy can you build this?" Tai asked.

"Why what is it? What's this all about Tai?" Matt asked.

"This is a portable digimon analyzer and scanner device designed to be used in the battlefield for in depth intelligence on your enemy." Izzy said gazing dreamily at the image.

"Can you build some?" Tai asked again.

"I believe so, his data is mostly complete but I believe I can fill in the gaps with Nicole, Ken and Yolei's help." Izzy said.

"Good, because we need a pair for everyone." Tai said.

"Why everyone, Tai?" Sora said.

"That way there's no way someone can't scan that bastard next time we fight him." Tai answered.

"Oh ok." Sora said laying next to Tai and cuddling up against him.

Tai made a low happy growling noise as Sora cuddled up to him and his eyes began to glow orange for a few seconds until he shut them with a smile and took a well deserved nap.

"Well, looks like Tai's out for a little while." Mimi said with a smile.

"T.K. too." Sora said pointing at the other couch where T.K. was lightly snoring with Kari in his arms.

"Hehe so are the digimon." Joe said.

"They're all worn out from fighting." Mimi said as she moved close to Matt.

"Yeah but why were Tai's eyes glowing?" Davis asked.

"I don't know. But I need to get to work on this scanner. Ken, Yolei, you two mind helping me out?" Izzy said.

(In Tai's mind)

"Hey whats going on here? I've been here before…" Tai said floating in the white void.

"Hey Tai, we need to talk" A voice said from the void. A figure emerged wearing black armor and wings.

"BlazeWarmon. I thought you were in the afterlife." Tai said.

"I am…" BlazeWarmon said.

"Wait then that means I'm…" Tai said worriedly.

"Yep…" BlazeWarmon replied with a sad smile.

" No it cant be. I cant be dead…Don't I ever get to get "really close" to Sora? Don't I get to finish building my car that no one knows about? What about the rest of my life? " Tai asked hysterically.

"Relax man I'm just messing with you." BlazeWarmon said and burst out laughing.

"Not Funny Blaze." Tai said sourly

"Listen. You did a great job against HellDaemon but you need more power to defeat him. You and the rest of the Digidestined are going to have to become more than we ever were Tai. You all are going to have to digivolve to a new level, and your digimon are going to have to go mega to have a chance to defeat this evil." BlazeWarmon said.

"How?" Tai asked.

"I don't know about the others but for us, we have to merge." BlazeWarmon said.

"How do we do that?" Tai asked.

"Well you have a connection to me like the digidestined have to the other Warmon. I think if I try to infuse my data directly into your body then your power will increase greatly. You will probably feel every bit of it. And you might sense me inside your body for a little while until we completely unite as one body and mind. You'll have my strength and experience while keeping your personality." BlazeWarmon said.

"Isn't that what Azulongmon tried?" Tai asked.

"Yes and no. he tried to fuse our souls in order to create the perfect weapon. I'm suggesting we fuse to create a better warrior and leader. Doing it this way I knowingly am giving you control and joining with you body and soul. . The way Azulongmon tried it our souls would have eventually fought for control and killed both of us. " BlazeWarmon said.

"I'll still be me though right?" Tai asked.

"Yeah it'll be you with a few of my personality quirks. Oh and you might behave in a different way in certain situations." BlazeWarmon said with a sly grin.

"Like what? What will you be doing in my head for the rest of my life anyway?" Tai asked suspiciously.

"I'll basically be your instincts and inner desires. The subconscious part of your brain that tells you when the right time to do certain things is. You'll never see me like this unless you absolutely want to and release my core from you for a time then I'll go back to your subconscious mind. I warn you now though in certain times and acts of your life you will act more like an animal than you do now, especially at times when instinct overrides reason in your life." BlazeWarmon hinted.

"Like when me and Sora decide its time to move our relationship to the next level?" Tai asked.

"Yes. With my data in your body you will find the urge to mate with her even stronger than you ever have before. And that is saying something with you. Hehe" Blaze said and laughed.

"And when the time comes what happens then?" Tai asked with a smirk.

"You act on instinct and you both have the time of your lives. You will be in tune with exactly what she wants from now on if you do this fusion, not only in bed but everywhere. Your senses will be heightened to the point where you can hear her heart beating faster and faster when you get near. It will take some time to get used to but you will come out stronger and better for it if you fuse with me." BlazeWarmon said.

"Lets do it." Tai said.

"Hang on. Think about what you're getting yourself into." BlazeWarmon started.

"I have. I want this to save everyone and to set things right. I also get the feeling that if I can fuse with you then I might be able to bring back the other Warmon." Tai said.

"How?" BlazeWarmon asked.

"well you said that I share a connection with you in the afterlife. If that's true then the other Digidestined share the same connection. If I fuse with you that means I can act as a bridge to the digital matrix where their souls are kept and bring them back." Tai said.

"Ok you have a really great idea so far… but how will you get to the matrix after you establish a connection?" BlazeWarmon asked.

"I'll have T.K open a gate of destiny using his connection to AngelWarmon." Tai answered.

"… Tai you are a fucking genius!" BlazeWarmon exclaimed.

"So lets do it." Tai said.

"Ok. But I warn you this is probably going to hurt for a little while. And I suggest you don't try to bring the Warmon back until we're almost fully healed.

"Got it. Lets…" Tai started, reaching out his hand.

"Do it…" BlazeWarmon finished, grabbing hold of Tai's hand.

"Blood Fusion Digivolution!" Tai and BlazeWarmon shouted at the same time.

At that moment Tai and T.K both woke up with a start, both their bodies glowing with digital energy.

They looked at each other and nodded. Everyone else was too shocked to say anything.

"Blood Fusion Digivolution" Tai and T.K both said and activated their digivices.

Their digivices began glowing. Their crests began glowing and bright orange and yellow energy surrounded and penetrated the two Digidestined of courage and hope. When the light faded, both Digidestined seemed to have grown a few inches and put on several pounds of muscle.

"Man I ache all over." Tai said as he stopped glowing.

"Me too, Tai." T.K said. As he stretched his new muscles.

"What the hell was that?" Matt asked. The rest of the Digidestined looked on in awe at the two. Except for Sora and Kari, who were drooling over Tai and T.K's new muscular arms.
