The Return of Apocalymon
Chapter 8
Izzy: I hope we never have to go through that again. We thought we could
handle him a second time but Apocalymon showed he had a few more tricks up his
sleeves. First Omnimon was taken down; then Angelmon was knocked down. Not
even Imperialdramon could stop him. If it wasn’t for Imperialdramon’s
scarifies of his energy to give it to Angelmon, we’d be finished. Now
Apocalymon is gone and were back home safe and sound. I hope.

In an abandoned warehouse somewhere in Tokyo in the morning
A computer screen is glowing brightly. A cloaked figure approaches it at pulls
out a dark digivice. He points it to the screen and, soon, out pop out two
Digimon. A Lizardmon and a Crocmon.
In a harsh voice the cloaked figure speaks. “You will go through the city and
attack one digi-destined named Sora. Do it when she’s alone.” The two digimon
nod and start to leave. “Wait!” They stopped and turned around. He touched
their foreheads and they started to glow. “Should any trouble arrive, run into
each other and fuse together.” They nodded and left. The dark figure turned
around and sat at the computer. “They better not fail my plans.”
That afternoon
Tai is walking home. “I wonder how Sora’s doing. After such a hectic weekend
in the Digital World I’m sure she’d like a talk.” He talked to himself. He was
nearing her mother’s store smiling when he saw Matt walking out and blowing a
kiss inside. Tai sulked a little and somewhat frowned. ‘What happened between
me and her?’ He waited for Matt to leave the corner when he entered. He
entered the store smiling. “Hey Sora.”
“Tai! Hi! What’s up?” She smiled as she gave a bag to someone. “Have a nice
day.”
“Thank you.” The person said as he walked off.
Tai moved out of the way to let the person passed, and then he moved forward
again towards the counter.
“Nothing’s been happening much. I was just wondering if you’d like to go for a
walk. You know, for old time sake.” Tai said as he walked. When he reached the
counter, he put his arm on the table and smiled at her.
“Sure! Let me check with my mom if it’s alright.” She smiled as she ran to the
back.
Tai sighed happily. ‘Well at least that hasn’t changed.’
Sora ran back in. “She said alright! I’ll just get my coat and clock out.” She
smiled and ran back to the back. She came back just as fast with her coat on
her. Tai laughed. “What?”
“Same old Sora. Always wanting to get off of work.” He laughed. Sora blushed.
The two friends walked towards the park.
“And then Agumon ate my moms Chili. WOWE! I’d have thought he swallowed his
own pepper breath!” Tai laughed.
Sora laughed as well. Then she noticed Tai was wearing a familiar necklace.
She smiled. “Is that the necklace I gave you when we got out of the Digital
World eight years ago?”
“Yeah . . . Why?” Tai mumbled.
“Nothing . . . just surprised the guy who said ‘jewelry are for girls’ would
wear a necklace.” Sora laughed.
“Yeah I guess you’re . . . HEY!” Tai resented. Then he started to laugh two.
Sora sat on a bench. “Oh man, let me catch my breath.” She huffed.
Tai stood and smiled.
“So Tai, what’d you want to talk about?” Sora asked.
Tai seemed surprised. “What made you think I’d want to talk about something?”
“Come on, I know you better than that. You never want to “Walk” unless
something was on your mind and you wanted to talk about it.” Sora smirked. Tai
sighed and showed seriousness in his face. Sora stopped smirking. “Tai, what’s
wrong?”
“I was just wondering about you and Matt.” Tai mentioned.
“Ah, Tai.” Sora moaned as she stood up.
Tai pushed her back down gently. “Hear me out please.” He begged. “It’s not
that I’m jealous. Far from it. I’m happy for you two.” He showed sincere ness
in his face. Sora nodded. “It’s just . . .” He turned around and put his fist
to his forehead, and then he turned back. “I . . . I want to know what
happened to us. What went wrong?”
Sora sighed. “Tai. Nothing “Went wrong” between us.”
“Then what. Please tell me.” Tai begged.
“Tai . . .” Sora started but stopped herself. She saw a certain look in Tai’s
face she never seen before. He looked desperate to know. “You know when I
disappeared and everything. How Matt helped to find me?” Tai nodded. “Well, he
told me that the exact same thing happened to him. From there we started to
talk. I soon found out that we had a lot in common.” She took a deep breath.
“Also, I noticed that you and I . . . we were fighting more and more after the
Digital World incident.”
“So? All couples fight don’t they?” Tai asked.
“Yes. But we were fighting too much. Matt even told me that his parents fought
a lot before they were married. I . . . I didn’t want to end up like T.K. and
Matt’s parents.” She cried and put her face in her hands.
Tai turned around and scoffed. “Tell me. Were you thinking of Matt when you
bought me this necklace.” He asked as he held the front of the necklace in his
hands.
“Wha . . . I?” Sora stuttered as she looked at Tai.
Tai pulled off the necklace and tossed in front of her. “Give to him then.
He’s the one who deserved it in the first place.” Tai said coldly.
“Tai . . . Wait . . . I didn’t mean to . . .” Sora cried.
“Goodbye Sora. Like I said earlier, I hope you and Matt are happy.” With that,
Tai walked off.
Sora cried even harder. She picked up the necklace Tai threw to the ground and
held it close to her cheek.
Not long later Matt ran up.
“Sora! Your mom told me you were here so I . . .” He stopped when he noticed
she was crying. “Sora? What’s wrong?” He knelt down next to her.
“It’s Tai . . . I tried to tell him about us and he . . . he . . .” She
continued to cry.
“Don’t worry. I’ll go straighten him out.” Matt growled. As he stood up he
balled up his fists. He stormed off towards Tai.
“Matt WAIT!” Sora cried, but it was too late, Matt was already gone. “Why! Why
did this have to happen?”
Unknown to her some mysterious shadows loomed behind her.
Meanwhile
Tai was walking slowly down the sidewalk.
“TAI!” Matt called.
Tai turned around. Before he could say anything a fist knocked him to the
ground. Matt walked up and picked him up by the shirt collar. “What in the
world is your problem? What did Sora say to you to get you so mad?” He tossed
Tai into a garbage can.
As Matt go closer, Tai uppercut him in the gut. “Shut UP Matt! That two timer
got what she deserved! She played me for a chump! Even after our time in the
Digital World we still dated but she still thought about YOU!” He tackled Matt
and the two fought.
Matt gained the upper hand and tossed Tai on the grass. “Listen to yourself!
She still cared for you! And she wasn’t a two timer! Heck, when we got out of
the Digital I wanted to date her but she refused.” Tai gasped. “Yeah Tai, she
still wanted to date you. She just wanted to break it to you slowly, like date
less and less over the years. If you ask me, she did the best choice anyone
could have asked for.”
‘She still cared for me that much. Man, I feel like such a jerk.’ Tai thought
sadly. “Matt, listen. I’m not jealous if that’s what you’re thinking.”
“I know. You’re not that kind of guy.” Matt smiled. He put his hand out to
help Tai up. “Friends?”
Tai took his hand. “Friends to the end.” Tai smiled as he got up.
The two friends smiled when there was a loud scream.
“TAI! MATT! HELP!” It was Sora and she sounded like she was in trouble.
The two looked at each other in fear and ran towards her. When they got there
they saw she was under attack by Digimon; Lizardmon and Crocmon. Lizardmon was
on all fours and looked like a giant lizard basically. Crocmon was on two legs
and looked more like a dinosaur than a crocodile. He held Sora by the leg and
started to lick her. Sora, by know, had fainted.
“SORA!” Tai and Matt yelled. The two digimon looked up and saw the two
digi-destineds. Crocmon tossed Sora aside and she landed in a bush. Then the
two approached Tai and Matt.
Matt and Tai ran in opposite directions. Lizardmon went after Tai while
Crocmon went after Matt. Lizardmon tried to bite of Tai’s legs while Crocmon
tried to slash Matt to ribbons.
Tai caught a large pole by is leg. He picked it up. “MATT!” He tossed it to
him. “Band practice guitar solo!”
Matt knew what he meant. He started pretending the pole was a guitar. The
Crocmon looked at him confusingly. Then Matt lifted the pole above him, jumped
into the air, and rammed it onto the Digimons head. Crocmon looked woozy; Matt
wasn’t finished yet. He thrusted the pole at Crocmon’s Jaw and started
slapping its face back and forth with the pole. Finally he gave one final bash
and knocked his opponent down flat. “Thank you, Thank you.” He jokingly bowed.
Tai kept on jumping around dodging Lizardmon’s bite. Matt saw some kids
playing soccer. He ran up to them. “Hey, can I borrow this.” He took the ball
and turned to Tai. “TAI! Soccer practice!” He kicked the ball towards Tai.
Tai nodded and jumped into the air. He bashed the ball with his head straight
at Lizardmon. The Digimon was in great pain. Tai took the ball, gave it a
great kick, and sent it reeling towards the side of Lizardmon, causing it to
go flying into a tree. “YEAH!” Tai cheered as if he won a championship.
Matt ran up to Tai. “Good going man.” The two hit their fists together.
“Come on, let’s go get Sora.” Tai motioned.
“Hey, what’s up with those two?” Matt pointed to Lizardmon and Crocmon. They
got up and stared at each other. Then they ran at each other and collided.
There was a huge flash.
“Ah no!” Tai said loudly.
“WHAT!” Matt called.
“They’re DNA Digivolving!” Tai yelled.
Sure enough, the two digimon had fused to become Dragonmon! It was a HUGE 15
stories tall digimon.
“This is so Godzilla.” Matt mumbled. Then he noticed its feet were right next
to Sora. “TAI!” He pointed.
“SORA!” Tai called. He grabbed Sora and rolled out of the way of Dragonmon’s
march.
Matt ran up. “Tai, Yolie’s store isn’t far from here. I’ll take care of Sora
while you go and get help.”
Tai looked up at Matt. “No, you go . . . I’ll stay.”
“But Tai.” Matt said surprised.
“Listen, its cause of me she came out of the store; and I left her alone in
the first place.” Tai said sadly.
Matt was about to say something but stopped and nodded. He ran off.
Dragonmon turned and saw Tai and Sora. Tai saw this and lifted Sora, who was
still unconscious, over his shoulder and ran off. Dragonmon followed. He fired
blasts at the two, Tai dodged them. He ran into an alley.
“Man Sora come on wake up. I mean you’re not light.” Tai huffed.
“I heard that.” Sora mumbled.
Tai gasped and put her down. “You’re awake.”
“Yeah, owe my head.” Sora rubbed her head.
“Listen . . . Sora . . . I . . .” Before Tai could finish Dragonmon came by
the alley. “Ah crap! Come on let’s get out of here.” He grabbed Sora’s arm and
ran off.
“TAI! What’s going on?” Sora said panicky.
“Those digimon that attacked you. They fused into that monster. Matt’s gone
over to get help.” Tai told her as they ran.
“TAI LOOK OUT!” Sora yelled. Dragonmon had jumped in front of them. (Through
out this whole chase Dragonmon hasn’t knocked down a single building.
Tai tried to turn around but Dragonmon whipped its tail around them to trap
them in. “Where trapped!”
“What’ll we do?” Sora cried.
Dragonmon opened its mouth, which started to glow. The two knew it was going
to attack. Sora held on to Tai tightly.
“DEEP FREEZE MISSILES!” A voice called out. A bunch of missiles fired and
froze Dragonmon’s mouth shut.
Tai and Sora looked up. It was Matt and Metal Garurumon. “Hey guys! Am I too
late?”
“MATT!” The two called out.
Agumon and Biyomon ran up.
“TAI!” Agumon cheered.
“SORA!” Biyomon flew up into her arms.
“Come on guys! Let’s do it!” Matt called. Sora and Tai nodded.
{Chorus} Digimon Digimon
"Agumon Warp-Digivolve to!
{Chorus} Warp Digivolve
WarGreymon!"
{Chorus} Digimon Digimon
“Biyomon digivolve to!
{Chorus} Digivolve into Champion
Birdramon!”
”Birdramon digivolve to!
{Chorus} Digivolve into Ultimate
Garudamon!”
Dragonmon had already broken free of the ice.
“Eagle Claw!” Garudamon attacked. He kept on flying around Dragonmon,
distracting it. “Wargreymon! Now!”
“Right!” Wargreymon called. He flew into the air. “Terra Force!” He tossed a
blast at Dragonmon but nothing happened. “WHAT!”
“Let me help! Deep Freeze Missiles!” Metal Garurumon fired. They found there
marks, freezing it as it tried to bite Garudamon.
“Yeah direct hit!” Matt cheered.
“Wargreymon! Aim for the mouth!” Tai called.
“Way ahead of you! Terra Force!” Wargreymon roared. He sent the blast straight
through Dragonmon’s mouth. The attack went right through the giant digimons
neck. Dragonmon let out a huge roar and disappeared.
“ALRIGHT!” The three friends high fived!
Later
The three friends where walking back home. Sora was in the middle, Tai and
Matt were on the other sides.
“Man, talk about tough huh?” Matt smiled. He looked at Tai and Sora, who were
both looking down. “Listen, I’ve got to go. See you guys later.” With that he
ran off.
Tai and Sora looked at each other.
“Tai I!”
“Sora I!”
The two laughed nervously.
“You go ahead.” Tai motioned quietly.
“No, you go ahead.” Sora smiled.
“Sora. I . . . I want to apologize for being such a jerk earlier. I wasn’t
thinking straight. I assumed you started liking Matt as soon as we got back.
You can hate me if you want to.” He looked down at the ground.
“Tai . . . I don’t hate you. Nor will I ever hate you. The truth is; I love
you.” She sighed. Tai looked up surprised. “But I also love Matt. In fact, I
love you almost just as much . . . except I . . .”
“Love Matt a little more right.” Tai finished.
“You don’t know how hard it’s been for me!” She cried. “To love both of you
guys but only love one of you slightly more.” She fell into Tai’s arms.
“Sora . . . you’re right. I don’t know how hard it’s been for you. But I can
imagine.” Tai said quietly. Sora looked up at him, tears in her eyes. Tai
moved some of her hair out of her eyes. “You know, you were always the most
mature of us three. Your being able to make such a decision proves it.” Sora
started to cry and laugh a little; she buried her face in Tai’s arms again.
Tai lifted her face up to look at his. “Sora. Listen, I love you too. If
there’s anything you need . . . anything at all . . . I’ll always be there for
you.” He smiled.
Sora calmed down. “Tai . . . there’s something I’ve wanted to give you for a
long time. Just don’t take it the wrong way.” Tai looked confused. Then Sora
did something completely unexpected. She kissed Tai on the lips.
Tai was shocked. He pushed her out of the way. “What was that for?” He said
loudly.
“Just thought I owed you that after all these years.” Sora giggled.
Tai looked around. “You think Matt would mind?”
“If it was anyone else . . . No. But if it’s you . . . I’d think he’d make an
exception.” Sora smiled.
“Good.” Tai grinned. He kissed her too. When they parted he smiled. “Just
returning the favor, that’s all.”
“So are we still friends?” Sora asked. She handed Tai the necklace.
Tai took the necklace and put it around his neck. “Yeah . . . still friends.”
Tai smiled.
Not far from there. Matt is nearby watching them. ‘Although I’m not too fond
of the kisses, I’m glad they made up.’ He thought happily.
Back at the warehouse
The cloaked figure banged his fist on the wall. “Blast! My plans were foiled
again. No matter. I still have that Davis kid to help make my plans. HA HA HA
HA HA!”
