Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Time Wars ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3:

Kasumi groaned to herself when she heard a loud beeping noise. She moaned to herself as a loud noise pierced through her dream world. She rolled over and slammed her hand down on her alarm, hitting the snooze button. She smiled to herself as she settled back to sleep.

She heard the noise again. She twisted her body on the small cot and yanked her pillow down over her head. “Just five more minutes,” she groaned.

“Kasumi!”

She opened her eyes fully and saw Sabrina standing over her. “You’re gonna be late for school.”

She looked over at the clock and gasped. “Oh shoot!” She threw her covers off and grabbed her school uniform from where she dropped it the night before.

She ran out of the girls’ sleeping area, which was nothing more than an office in the abandon warehouse they had commandeered. She ran through the main floor, past the others, who were already eating breakfast. They gave her a small ‘good morning,” before she continued and ran up the stairs to their make-shift shower room. Erika Izumi gave them instructions in how to build a simple shower through by-passing local water pipes. Hopefully, by the time anyone noticed, they would be long gone.

Kasumi quickly pulled off her pajamas and stared at herself in the mirror, her eyes focusing on the large scar across her stomach. When she closed her eyes, she could still see the day that she received that scar, a day she would never forget.

She and her father were fighting against a Dark Tyrannomon. Snow Agumon’s digivolution failed, and she was at the mercy of the evil digimon. Her father arrived to save her, like he always did, only, he did not arrive in time. The Dark Tyrannomon gutted her stomach, using his massive claws. She almost died, but as always, her father saved her.

She sighed and leaned on the sink. Her father trained her, trained all of her friends, and now their entire future was in danger of being destroyed. She had to do everything in her power to keep her future, everyone’s future, safe.

She heard a loud bang on the door and heard Sabrina’s voice. “Kasumi, we’ve got a message from Erika. You’d better get down here.”

She quickly dressed in her school uniform and ran downstairs to see that the other members of her group were seated around their ‘kitchen table.’ A small projector device was resting on the table. “All right, I’m here.”

Osamu pressed a button on the side and an image of Erika Izumi appeared. She was not smiling. “I know that my transmission won’t last long, so I will be quick. Melissa’s team was successful in infiltrating Myotismon’s base. He was aware of a time-traveler, because this person came back to our time to try and get payment from Myotismon. The Vampire Lord killed him, but did get all the information he could. The time-traveler that came back to kill Kari Kamiya…is Walter York, the Digidestined traitor. I’ll have more information for you as soon as I can. I’ll try to power up my communication equipment so we can have an actual conversation, instead of a transmission. Over and out.”

“York,” Kasumi growled, “Willis’s son.”

“The Battle of 2018,” Shiro frowned, “He led us right to an ambush! That trial court-marshaled him! He disappeared, but he must have been…” He growled, “If that damn traitor is here, I want first shot at him.”

“Easy,” Kasumi ordered, “We need to find him first. All right, every one keep your eyes open. This just got much more dangerous.”

“Hey, Tai, what’s up?”

He glanced over his shoulder and saw a familiar redheaded girl running down the sidewalk towards him. He smiled slightly. “Just heading to school, same as you I guess. What’s up with you?”

“Not much,” she responded, “I heard that you got Agumon to warp-digivolve again?”

Tai grinned. “Yeah, Wargreymon’s back!” He punched his fist up into the air, “Yes! My mega digimon is back! Yes!”

Sora watched Tai’s expression of joy and could not help but start laughing. “I guess Kari was right. He really did miss having a mega digimon.”

“What’s so funny?” the messy-haired teen asked.

“Oh, it’s just really nice to see you in a good mood for once,” she smiled.

He suddenly remembered why he had been in a depressing mood for the past few weeks and tried his best not to frown. He could not let her know that she was the reason for his depression, that when she started dating Matt, it broke his heart. He could not let it affected their friendship or her relationship with Matt. He cared for both of them too much to allow that to happen.

But Sora did sense that something was wrong. “Tai…?”

He shook his head. “It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”

“But you’re my best friend,” she sighed, “I can’t help but worry about it. I’ve seen you walk around in almost complete depression since Christmas, why won’t you just tell me what’s wrong?”

“I’m really in love with you, and every time I see you with Matt, I just want to rip my broken heart out of my chest!” he thought, “And I wish I could tell you with all my heart, but I just can’t.”

Sora stared at him. “It’s…it’s that girl, isn’t it?” she asked, “That one that you said you loved, but didn’t love you back?”

He wanted to shake his head and say, “No, it isn’t anything like that,’ but instead, he found himself nodding.

“Oh,” the redheaded girl said, “Well, maybe…this girl, really likes you too, but is just too afraid to say anything.”

“No,” Tai shook his head, “She’s already dating someone.”

Sora nodded slowly. “Well, maybe this girl is really happy with her boyfriend.”

“She is, that’s why I don’t want to step between them.”

Sora walked over and hugged him. “Tai, I…” She turned her head slightly and saw her boyfriend walking towards them. “Matt, hi!”

The blond boy walked up towards the other two teenagers. He had a suspicious expression on his face as he stared at Tai and Sora, but shrugged it off. “Hey guys, what’s goin’ on?”

“Oh, not much,” Tai said, shaking his head. He swung his bag over his shoulder, “I’ll get going, I know you two want to spend some time alone. I’ll see ya’ guys later.”

“What’s up with him?” Matt asked, watching his friend disappear around a building corner.

“He’s just depressed because a girl he likes doesn’t like him back.”

“Really? Who?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I didn’t want to pry.”

“Well, we’re his friends,” Matt responded.

Sora stared into the distance. “Yeah, we are.”

As the teenaged couple began to walk down the sidewalk hand-in-hand, they did not notice that Kasumi had been watching them. “Mom and Dad, I hope you get together soon.”

“Davis, there you are!”

The google-wearer almost spit out the milk that he was drinking. He glanced up from his desk where he had been trying to enjoy his lunch and saw a purple-haired girl standing over him. “Yolie!” he gasped, “Wh..what are you doing here? Are you skipping?”

She sat down. “It’s lunch time, remember? We can go to other classrooms?” She sighed and shook her head. “Listen, after school we’re going on another stakeout to keep our eye on the Dark Seed kids.”

“Oh, right, yeah.”

Yolei glanced around the room. “Where’s Tk and Kari?”

He pointed to the front of the room. Yolei turned around and saw Tk and Kari standing in front of a giant pot, pouring soup into the bowls that the students were carrying. “Ah, I see.”

She turned back to Davis. “Well, anyway, we’re gonna meet in the park later, and I’ll give out the Dark Seed kid assignments.”

The goggle boy opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be with you boyfriend, Ken.”

“Hey!” he snapped, “That wasn’t funny!”

Yolei’s face twisted into a sinister grin. “Well, I never see you with any girls, I doubt you even like them.”

“I do too!”

“Then why don’t you prove it?”

“Fine!” he shouted, jumping to his feet. He grabbed Yolei by the arm and yanked her into a kiss. The rest of the class was in dead silence as they stared at the scene. Tk and Kari had their jaws practically touching the floor. Tk even dropped the soup ladle onto the floor.

Yolei pushed herself away from Davis and stared in shock. “There?” Davis said, “Believe me now?”

The purple-haired girl slowly backed up, then charged out of the room. Seiji and Sabrina were sitting by themselves in the corner of the room. “Wow,” Seiji said, still in shock, “Your father….wow…”

The girl stood up from her seat. “I’ve got to talk to my mother,” she whispered, “I’ll be back.”

Before Seiji could protest, she ran out of the room and saw Yolei leaning against the wall, her face a deep hue of red. “Um, Yolei?” Sabrina asked.

The other girl spun to stare at her, then started to run again. “Wait!” Sabrina shouted, “I just want to talk to you!”

She chased her teenaged mother through the school until cornering her in the second floor girl’s bathroom. “Why are you following me?” she shouted.

“I..I just wanted to see how you were doing..”

“I don’t even know who you are!” Yolei gasped.

Sabrina felt a pang in her heart. Her mother had just told her that she did not know who she was. The younger girl had to remind herself that her mother did not know her, at least, not yet. “Oh, my name is Sabrina, I’m a new student in Davis Motomiya’s class.”

“Oh,” she said, “I guess you saw….”

“Yeah, I did,” she said, looking to the floor, “I know you’re probably embarrassed…”

“You’re damn right!” she gasped, “But….I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but somehow, I’ve just got a feeling that you need to know this, I…I kinda liked it.”

“You did?”

She leaned against the sink and sighed. “Yeah, I did. Maybe only because it was my first kiss, or maybe…maybe it was something more.” She shook her head. “I don’t know. Oh, why does he have to be so pig-head and can’t think when he’s angry!”

Sabrina wanted to suggested to her that she should date Davis, but she knew that if she interfered, they might not get together, which meant that she would not be born. Instead, she shrugged. “Well, I really can’t help you. I just wanted to see if you were all right.”

Yolei nodded. “Yeah, thanks.”

Davis kept his face buried on his desk. Tk and Kari came over to him. “What did you do that for?” Tk asked.

“I don’t know!” he moaned, “I don’t know! When she called me a….I just wanted to prove her wrong so bad! I don’t know why I did that! Oh man!”

Kari rubbed her hand over his back. “Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll forgive you.”

“Oh yeah,” Davis thought, keeping his head buried in his arms, “I forgot about Yolei. Jeeze, I can just see her beating the crap out of me when we go on patrol later.”

“Sabrina!” Kari called.

Davis raised his head but kept his eyes hidden as he watched Kari and Sabrina talk at the front of the classroom. He could only make out Kari asking her whether Yolei was all right. He could not hear what Sabrina’s answer was, but the other girl was smiling. He felt a small bit of relief in his stomach, but kept his head in his arms.

Shiro Ishida smiled to himself as he leapt into the air and grabbed the basketball before it entered the basket. He dropped to the ground and ran towards the other basket, easily diving through the players on the other team. He dribbled with ease and approached the opposite basket; leaping into the air. One minutes left; and he was going to make his fifth three point basket; there was no way that his team would lose now.

He lifted his hands over his head to throw the ball through the net for a slam dunk, when a figure jumped in front of him, stealing the ball away. He fell back to the ground, staring at his empty hands. He felt anger well up inside of him: no one does that to him! No one!

He shot around and stared at the students, trying to find the one with the ball. He spotted him, already diving through his teammates. If it had been anyone else but him, Shiro would have ran over and tore the ball away. He would have, if it had been anyone else but him: Yamato Ishida.

His father.

He stared with awe and watched Matt easily make a three point basket. The coach blew his whistle. “All right, that’s a wrap. Hit the showers.”

Matt approached Shiro as they walked down the stairs to the locker room. “Hey, Shiro, right?”

“Uh, yeah,” he said, “You’re…Matt?”

“That’s right,” the other blond boy grinned, “Those were some pretty cool moves you had back there. Real mad skill.”

Shiro chuckled slightly. “Thanks. My..ah..father taught me. He and my uncle were really big fans.”

“Were?” Matt asked.

“Yeah…” he snapped. He could not get too emotional; he could not let Matt know who he really was.

“Oh, sorry man,” Matt’s smile faded.

Shiro wanted to stay angry and cold, but found that he simply could not. “Hey, I didn’t mean to…”

“No problem,” Matt gave a small wave, “I’ll see ya’ tommorrow.” He ran over to his locker. Shiro nodded and quickly got dressed in his normal clothes. He turned to look back at Matt, but saw that another figure, standing off by himself. This figure locked eyes with Shiro and flashed him a smile. Shiro instantly recognized him.

“York!” he gasped.

The Digidestined traitor ran up the stairs with Shiro right behind him. Once they were outside on the green field surrounding the back of the school, the digidestined warrior grabbed the digivice out of his pocket and pointed it to the ground. “Psychemon, appear!”

A beam of blue light shot from the device’s screen and exploded into the ground, revealing Shiro’s digimon partner, Psychemon. “What’s going on?” the blue digimon asked.

“York’s here,” he said.

“Shouldn’t we call the others?” his partner replied.

“No,” Shiro growled, “It was because of that traitorous bastard that every one of my Special Forces team was killed! He’s gonna pay for that!”

Kasumi gave a small shout as she walked out of the entrance of the school. She ignored the strange looks that the other students were giving her. Keero smiled. “What are you so happy about?”

She gave him an odd look. “What do you think? I haven’t gone to school in over five years. You think I really like it?”

“Shh!” his hissed, “You need to keep that down.”

She gave him a slight sneer. “Where the heck is Shiro?”

Keero looked at the students around him. “I don’t know, I saw him right before P.E.”

Kasumi nodded. “Just like him to go off and do something stupid and pig-headed like this. Can’t that guy be a team player just once?” She sighed. “Where are Sabrina and the others?”

“Already keeping an eye on Kari,” Keero said, “She and the others are trying to locate the Dark Seed children.”

Kasumi nodded. “Just think, we could tell them everything they wanted to know. That might save Kari, but would that jeopardize our own future?”

“I’d rather not take that chance,” Keero said, “We have to keep ourselves in the background as much as possible, or we run the risk of destroying our chances to even be born!”

“Not so loud,” she smirked at him.

He grumbled. “What should we do?”

“I’m going to spy on my parents,” Kasumi said. Before Keero could protest, she clarified, “I’ll make sure I’m out of sight. They’ll never see me. Go back to base and see if you can contact Shiro and tried to find York. If you need me, just call. See ya.”

Keero tried to call out to her, but she was already gone.

Tai walked down the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets. At his side was a diminutive figure wrapped in a blue cloak. “Hey Tai, what are we doing out here?”

“We’re keeping an eye out for Oikawa or Black Wargreymon,” he answered, scanning the sky.

“Do we even have a list of places to look?” Agumon asked.

Tai pulled a crumbled piece of paper out of his pocket. “This is a list of the Dark Seed kids and places were Black Wargreymon has been seen. We’re just going to check them all, and maybe we’ll get lucky.”

They stopped by a child’s park, complete with a jungle gym, slides and swings. In the back was a green field, which was now lightly covered with white snow. Tai stopped and stared at the field with longing in his eyes. “Hey, I use to play here all the time.”

“Really?” Agumon asked.

“Yeah, me and Sora use to hang out here all the time when we were younger. Come on.”

He ran into the playground and stopped in front of the jungle gym. He smiled. “Wow, I remember when I got stuck up here, Mom had to come and get me down.”

“Yeah, I remember that too.”

Tai twirled around and saw Sora walking towards him. “I’m sorry. Kari said you were here.”

“Why are you here?” he asked.

She shrugged. “I wanted to see if you needed any help.”

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?” Agumon snapped, “I don’t even see Biyomon here!”

“Agumon…” Tai sighed, “Why don’t…”

“Yeah, yeah..” he muttered, jumping onto one of the slides.

Tai and Sora stared at the jungle gym in silence. “So,” Tai finally said, “Why aren’t you with Matt?”

“He and Joe are keeping their eye on one of the Dark Seed kids,” she answered, “And I thought that maybe you could use some company.”

“Oh,” he replied.

There was an uncomfortable silence until Sora spoke. “So, do you really remember all the fun times we use to have here?”

“Of course I do,” he said, “Like the time we...”

“What?” she asked.

He shook his head and turned away. “It’s nothing.” Secretly, he thought, “I can’t make her remember the time I dared her to kiss me. “ He glanced over his shoulder at her confused expression. “I think I’m interfering in her and Matt’s relationship. I don’t want to, they’re both my friends, but…”

Agumon suddenly ran over to him. “Tai! Tai!”

“What?” he asked.

“It’s BlackWargreymon!” he gasped, “He’s here!”

Tai quickly entered into his leader mode. He grabbed his digivice and pointed it at Agumon’s face. “Do it!”

“Agumon warp digivolve to Wargreymon!”

Tai cupped the digivice in his hands. “Go and get him.”

Wargreymon nodded and shot into the sky. Tai and Sora ran after him. A second later, Kasumi emerged from her hiding place in the bushes. “Mom and Dad….”

“Psyc hemon digivolve to Gururumon!”

Shiro grinned. “Well, York, where’s your partner?”

“You killed him, remember?” York sneered.

“Because you betrayed us!” Gururumon shouted.

“I was just tired of fighting a losing battle,” he replied, “And I’m going to make sure we win! And concerning my digimon partner, scientists graphed digimon powers into my body.” He began to float into the air, “Come and get me!”

“Chaos Fire!” Gururumon shouted, blasting a ball of black fire at York. The Digidestined traitor batted it away with a bolt of white lighting. The fire ball crashed into the ground and vanished in a burst of smoke.

York grinned. “Wanna try again?”

Gururumon leapt forward to tackle the Digidestined Traitor to the ground, but with simple ease, York leapt out of the way, grabbed Gururumon’s tail and began to spin him around in the sky.

“Gururumon!” Shiro shouted.

York grinned as let go of the wolf digimon’s tail, and he slammed into the ground. Shiro’s digimon partner jumped back into the air, his massive jaw open wide.

“Killer Bite!” he shouted, clamping his jaw full of teeth onto York’s arm.

“Take that, you traitor!” Shiro grinned.

York’s face did not show the slightest indication of pain. Gururumon was attached to the right arm, so he pointed his left palm at the wolf’s back and fired a large bolt of lightning into his back. Gururumon screamed and released his jaw grip on York’s arm. The Digidestined traitor grabbed the wolf by his tail and quickly flipped him to slam his back onto his knee.

Gururumon growled in pain as York kicked him higher into the air. He raised his hands and created a massive ball of crackling energy that he flung into Gururumon. The sky was lit with an explosion of lightning before Psychemon slammed into the ground.

Shiro ran over and lifted his injured digimon in his arms. He glared at York with hate dripping from his eyes. The Digidestined traitor just laughed.

“It’s your own fault. Do not interfere with my mission!” He flung himself into the air and vanished.

Psychemon gently placed an ice pack on his head. “Man, that really hurt.”

Snow Agumon stared at him. “Well, you shouldn’t have fought him by yourself. That was really stupid.”

Kasumi nodded as she looked at Shiro. “She’s right, you know. You should have called for back-up.”

“He would’ve gotten away!” Shiro protested. He yelled with anger and punched the wall of their warehouse hide-out, “Damn it!”

“Well,” Osamu said, “At least history’s proceeding as it should so far. Earlier this afternoon, Oikawa drained the energy from Noriko Kawada’s Dark Spore, just as Black Wargreymon arrived. He saw Myotismon slightly emerge from Oikawa’s body, before sacrificing himself.”

“That means that the Heighten View Terrace gate is closed,” Seiji said.

Keero nodded. “If York’s gonna make his move, it’s going to be soon.”

Kasumi sighed. “Alright. We’ve got one more day before Myotismon emerges from Oikawa. I’m betting that’s when he gonna strike.” She took a deep breath, “We’ve got to stop him, or the entire future is doomed!”

To be continued…..

Author’s notes: I didn’t misspell Garurumon’s name. Gururumon is a possible Champion form of Psychemon.
