The Digi-Slayer
Chapter 40
"SURPRISE" Rung throughout the cool metal corridors of the facility deep within the snowy fields of the digital world, a world that was recently saved from a terrible force.
The conqueror of this force, a boy by the name Davis, was the one whom the cheer was meant for, unfortunately, he didn't take it very well.
"AHHHHHHH" He screamed as he blindly pulled out his recently acquired powers, pushing the source of the call away with a strong gale of force.
A tap on the shoulder snapped him back into reality as he saw his silver haired girlfriend covering her mouth to try and stifle her laughter. Looking around, Davis found the large room, which usually consisted of the soulless chrome colouring, was now covered in a rainbow of different colour streamers, balloons, confetti, and other assorted party decorations.
"What in the world?" Davis said to himself as his gazed focused on a rather odd sight.
In front of him, where he directed the energy attack, lay all of the members of the Digi-destined, all groaning in pain as they slowly pulled themselves from the muddle of bodies that took the force of the attack.
"Heh heh, whoops" Davis said as he scratched the back off his head.
"Whoops indeed" Zade laughed as she moved beside her boyfriend.
"Well, that was unexpected" Tai said as he stood up shakily and rubbed a bump on his head.
"Ow, you can say that again" Joe replied, fixing his askew glasses.
The French born Digi-destined, Katherine felt the same way about the attack, but unlike the relative ear friendly comments her friends made, she slung a string of french curses.
"Whoa, what a mouth" Matt said, dusting off his shirt slightly
"You'd be swearing too if your skirt went flying up" The french girl replied sharply, one hand holding down the loose piece clothing.
Matt could only look around embarrassed as his friends laughed at the implied jest of Matt in a skirt.
"Click" Tai laughed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Matt glared at the original leader.
"Nothing much" Tai replied, grinning widely "Just making a mental photo"
Matt had a wicked smile on his face "Oh I get it, and just how many other pictures have you got of boys in women's clothing?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Tai yelled, drool frothing at his mouth as he stared daggers into his rival "I SHOULD POUND YOU UNTIL YOU ARE A GIRL"
"JUST TRY IT STHWEETIE" Matt countered, calling Tai 'Sweetie' with the stereotypical gay lisp.
That was the final straw; the two teenagers lunged at each other with full intent of a brawl. The others watched on as the two were millimetres away from punching each other out, but oddly enough, the two boys stopped in mid-air, a faint glow around their entire bodies. Figuring this was Davis' handy work, the others turned their gaze towards the boy, but the bearer of miracles was equally confused.
"That's enough" Everyone turned their sights towards Kari, whose eyes were glowing a faint blue as she held out both hands, each covered in the faint glow of the same energy that surrounded Tai and Matt.
"Kari?" A bewildered Tai said.
"In case you've forgotten, where here to thank Davis" She said angrily as she raised the two boys a few feet in the air, before letting them fall down to the ground on their arses "Not to fight with each other"
'Thank me for what?" Davis asked, still clueless about the whole idea.
"For what you did for the digital word" T.K said, looking like he was about to swallow poison "And for helping us, even though you had every reason to let us die"
Davis thought that the last person he'd hear that from would be T.K. As he looked around, he saw that all the Digi-destined that turned on him had the same sad look of self-hatred on their faces. Scanning around the area, Davis locked eyes with Kari, and they stayed there until the said girl raised her head.
"Especially me" Kari said softly, tears glazing over her eyes "I was the one who caused you the most pain, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, or your compassion"
----Flashback----
"YOU BASTARD" she yelled, her eyes, before filled with love and sincerity, now were full of hatred and malice "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT, AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH YOU JUST COME OUT OF THE BLUE AND SAY THOSE THINGS, DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M JUST GONNA FALL FOR YOU AND BE YOURS, YOU"VE GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING ME"
----End Flashback----
"I have no idea why I said those things Davis" Kari said, she couldn't look him in the eyes anymore, so great was her shame "I just want you to know I never meant them, not for a second"
"We all have reasons for you to hate us Davis" Tai said, trying his best to keep a strong composure in front of his replacement.
----Flashback----
"DAVIS" came a yell filled with hatred, when Davis turned around he instantly felt a fist smack him right in the face, causing him to fall and the contents of his bag spill over the pavement. When he looked up he saw his soccer idol, Tai Kamiya, looking down at him with disgust while he rubbed his knuckles. "What the hell is wrong you, why the hell did you hurt my sister, I want answers NOW"
----End Flashback----
All the rest of the Digi-destined followed suite, apologising to no end, never one of them begging for forgiveness. Davis was speechless after hearing how sorry his friends were for what they had done. On most occasion, Davis was a very forgiving person, he tended to let go of grudges against people because he knew they did not help a situation, instead he focused on the good in people, with their positives in mind, he felt much easier when talking to them.
"I don't know what to say" Davis said, shocked and amazed.
No one said a word.
"Ah, who am I kidding" Davis said, a smile as big as his heart on his face "I can't stay mad at you guys".
And with that, the tension that was in the air faded away, never to return again, and in it's place, there was only happiness. All of the new Digi-destined and the girls from the old group ran to Davis as fast as they could, giving him a big group hug. The males from the old group; Tai, Matt, T.K, Joe and Izzi, stayed a few feet away, smiling happily, but they just couldn't get over there own machismo to actually hug the boy, so instead they gave him shoulder pats and handshakes instead.
"Men" Kari, Sora, Mimi and Yolie huffed at the same time.
And as the music started, so did the celebrating. Cheers for Davis, jokes, laughing, talking, and all forms of verbal communication filled the room. Davis himself was walking up to the people who stood by him the entire ordeal, thanking them for all their support, before practically dragging towards the others to talk to them. As for Zade, she constantely stayed by Davis' side, never straying at all.
"Hey" Davis suddenly called up, earning the attention of everyone "Anyone, know where Veemon is?"
No one answered; instead, the room became dead quiet, all except for a quiet munching sound. Tracking the sound, Davis walked over towards the table with a large assortment of food on it. As he got closer, he honed in on the sound and before him, in the massive bowl of chips, where two little dragon legs, covered in a fine coat of shimmering blue scales. Tapping on the bowl twice, Davis' one eye watched as a little head joined the legs, the face belonging to his digimon partner, Veemon.
"What?" Veemon said, innocently "Got something on my face?"
Instead of laughing, Davis dropped his head, his whole body shaking as tears fell from his face and hit the chrome floor below. Everyone was watching silently as Davis finally raised his head, and with a smile on his face, looked at his partner.
"Veemon" Davis simply said.
"DAVIS" The tiny dragon cheered as he launched himself out of the bowl and into Davis' chest.
"Veemon" Davis said again, hugging his partner.
Zade watched as her boyfriend and his partner showed such care for eachother, she just wished she knew where Wolfmon was, for last time she saw him, he was in the real world hospital.
"Zade?" A voice spoke below the girl with amethyst eyes.
At her feet, Zade saw the same wolf digimon she had been thinking about.
"Wolfmon" She said as she fell to her knees and hugged the rookie digimon.
"The one and only" The small dog smiled "Who do you think let the others port in here?"
"You broke my firewall?" Zade asked, looking into the pup's eyes.
"I helped you program it, remember" Wolfmon smiled
"Of course" Zade said as she sniffed and wiped away a few tears "It's good to see your safe Wolfmon"
"You too Zade" Wolfmon replied.
"Psst, Zade" Davis whispered as Zade got up and watched Veemon and Wolfmon join the party "I wanted to ask you something"
"What is it Davis?" The girl asked.
"I know this isn't the place or the time, but I just can't stop thinking about it" Davis said, constantely looking around to see if anyone was looking their way.
"What are you thinking about Davis" Zade asked, a small blush on her face as she imaging 'what' it was that Davis was about to ask her.
"How about a game of cards?" Davis whispered into her ear.
"What?" Zade whispered back, completely stunned.
Davis just gave her a sneaky look and smiled.
"Oooh" Zade said, realising what he really meant by 'cards'.
The last anyone saw of the was Zade leading Davis down one of the corridors towards the back of the facility.
"Hey" Tai called out, getting everyones attention 'Does anyone know where Davis is?"
"I do" Veemon piped up, temporarily raising his head from the punch bowl, his entire face stained purple "He and Zade went to the back for a game of cards"
Michael, Katherine and Ken, aswell as their digimon counterparts, exchanged knowing glances at eachother, knowing exactely how their card games ended.
"Why would they leave just for a game of cards?" Matt said, holding his chin in a musing sort of way.
All of the boys except for Ken and Michael follow suit, all thinking of possible reasons why they left for a simple card game.
"Oh bloody hell" Sora said, shaking her head "They have got to be the most clueless boys on the planet"
"Wait here" Veemon said as he reached for his trusty camera "Give us a few minutes and we'll teach them"
"Hurry before Davis actually suggests they play cards" Wormmon said, poking Veemon slightly.
"Right, if that happens, it won't be as funny" The little blue dragon said, sprinting towards the corridor, Wolfmon and Wormmon just behind him.
