Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ Too many to count on ❯ The Day of the Dead ( Chapter 6 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

At that precise moment, a giant sea serpent came rising from the ocean.
 
Izzy came running out of the bus with his laptop.
 
“Guys, back up!” Izzy shouted, waving his arms. “That's Seadramon.”
 
“Well, that helps!” Tai said, backing away from Seadramon.
 
“Everyone out of the bus!” Sora yelled.
 
“This includes Digimon!” Matt yelled.
 
Everyone in the bus came out. They understood perfectly when they saw Seadramon.
 
Everyone was out of the bus except...
 
“T.K!” Matt shouted, running to the bus.
 
“Kari!” Tai shouted, running to the bus.
 
When both Matt and Tai were in the bus, Seadramon spotted it. It was the only thing he could see, because it was bigger than the others.
 
Matt and Tai were by their siblings, trying to wake them up.
 
“Yo, Kari! Wake up! Wake up if you want to see tomorrow.”
 
“Oh, that's a good way to get your sister up, Tai!” Matt said, sarcastically. He turned to his brother. “T.K, please wake up!” He said, shaking him.
 
“And that's any better?” Tai asked. His head lit up with an idea.
 
He grabbed Kari's chocolate bar. “Kari!” He said, putting the chocolate under her nose. He broke off a tiny piece, and put it in her mouth.
 
Kari sat up in a snap. “Who stole it?” Kari asked Tai. Tai laughed.
 
T.K just woke up on his own.
 
“Oh, my head hurts...” he moaned.
 
“T.K!” Matt said, hugging him.
 
“Matt, what's going on?” T.K asked.
 
Seadramon slithered down towards the bus.
 
“We gotta get outta this bus, now!” Tai half-shouted.
 
Seadramon opened his mouth.
 
“What's happening?” T.K asked, looking around.
 
But it was too late.
 
Seadramon clamped his beak on the bus. He lifted it up, and swung it around in his mouth.
 
The Digidestinds were trapped in the bus, which was trapped in Seadramon's beak.
 
“Poison Ivy!” Palmon said, and poison ivy vines came shooting out of her claws, and stretched out for the bus.
 
“It's too far!” Palmon said, retreating her vines.
 
All the scared Digidestinds and Digimon could do was watch in horror as Matt, Tai, T.K, and Kari were about to be swollen.
 
But just then, Joe and Ken started running towards Seadramon. Wormmon and Gomamon looked at each other in confusion, but since it was a Digimon's job to protect their chosen Digidestined, they ran after them.
 
Joe and Ken were as close as they wanted to be, by the time Gomamon and Wormon appeared at their side.
 
“Stay back, Wormon.” Ken said bravely, continuing to stare at Seadramon. He didn't know it, but he was staring into the eyes of his own death.
 
“You too, Gomamon.” Joe replied, but he really felt and appeared to look frightened. He was always a scared little puppy.
 
Wormon and Gomamon obeyed Ken and Joe, and backed away.
 
Ken took his step first step.
 
“Hey, you! Over here!” He waved his arms, trying to get Seadramon's attention.
 
Seadramon paid no attention to him, and licked his “lips,” about to swallow the four Digidestinds and the two Digimon, who were now wrapped up in Seadramon's tail.
 
“Marching Fishes!” Gomamon shouted.
 
The Marching Fishes came out of the water, and flopped on the land. There were so many, that the mob was big enough so Seadramon could spot them.
 
“Great job, Gomamon!” Joe cheered. “Now call them back.”
 
Gomamon did so.
 
The Marching fishes went away.
 
Seadramon threw the bus, and headed towards Joe and Gomamon. The bus crashed on the sand, and stuck diagonally in on the beach.
 
“Quick! Help us out of here!” Tai screamed, banging on the bus windows.
 
“Mimi, let's go help Tai and Matt!” Sora said, pointing over to where the bus was.
 
Mimi fell on her knees and cried.
 
Sora looked at her in a weird way, and ran to the bus. Yolei followed her.
 
“C'mon, Seadramon! Swallow us!” Ken yelled.
 
“Ken, what are you doing?” Davis yelled.
 
“You don't need to sacrifice yourself! Tai, Matt, Kari, and T.K are all safe now!” Willis screamed.
 
“Uh- okay!” Ken said, nodding. “Joe, they're all right now. We gotta get out of- Wah!”
 
Seadramon picked them both up by the tail.
 
“WAAOOOAAAOOAAAH!” Joe cried. “Somebody help me!”
 
Joe's Digivice glowed.
 
“Whoa!” Gomamon said, as he went into a bubble.
 
“What's happening to Gomamon?” Cody asked.
 
“He's Digivolving!” Patamon exclaimed.
 
“Gomamon Digivolve to … Ikkakumon!”
 
Gomamon transformed into Ikkakumon, a big furry dog, with a horn on his head.
 
“Harpoon Torpedo!” Ikkakumon shouted, and shot missiles out of his horn at Seadramon. Seadramon screamed, dropped Joe and Ken, and splashed into the water.
 
“Oh no!” Izzy gasped, as Joe and Ken splashed into the water.
 
By then, Ikkakumon had already changed back into Gomamon.
 
“Marching Fishes!” Gomamon called out, and the multi-colored fish came out of the water, all grouped up with Joe and Ken on the top.
 
“Oh my god, Joe!” Mimi howled, as tears poured out of her eyes. She ran over to the Marching Fishes, who dropped Joe and Ken on the sand, and then flopped back into the water.
 
Everyone gathered around them, including Sora, Matt, T.K, Tai, Kari, and Yolei. They stared into their closed eyes in silence for a while. They couldn't be….
 
Joe opened his eyes, but just enough so he could see. His first sight was Mimi, her face all wet from crying so much.
 
He smiled at her. “Mimi, I'm sorry.” he said, a hoarse whisper.
 
Mimi smiled. “It's okay. All I need is for you not to die.”
 
Joe turned his face. “It may be too late.”
 
He looked at Gomamon. “Gomamon, thanks for everything, and take care.”
 
Gomamon looked sad, he tried to say something, but nothing would come out, and by the time he was actually going to say something, Joe was dead.
 
Mimi sobbed all over again, but now they turned to Ken, who opened his eyes as far as Joe did.
 
“Guys, I know I haven't been much help-“ he started, but Kari stepped in.
 
“Ken, c'mon. You've done so much! You can't die like Joe!” But Ken just laughed a little.
 
“That's okay. I probably will. And if I do, sorry if I give you guys nightmares.” He said in a happy tone.
 
A tear rolled down Yolei's cheek. “Ken!” She said loudly, so he could hear her last words. “I just wanted to say, that I liked you for a while, and that I always pictured you with me really easily.”
 
Ken smiled widely. “Thanks….”
 
He died.

Yack! *runs away from sharp pointy objects* Well, it's not really my fault. I don't really like Joe, and I don't have a clue how Ken acts, so I just killed them. Sorry!
 
Oh, and if you see something in Italics and it ends with -BG­, it's just an author note.
