Yes, I am actually writing some more, can you believe it!
Matt: No.
Vay slaps him upside the head and gives the author a thumbs up
Me: Thank you.
Vay: Oh no probs. I love hitting Matt Matt is slowly rising behind her, looking a little annoyed
Me: Erm…
Matt tackles Vay to the ground. Tai laughs but is pulled down by Vay as he does so
Me: Yeah… anyway, here is the next bit in the story. As you may or may not remember, the digi-destined had met up with Gennai and made contact with the real world via Gennai's computer. Here is the next bit, and hopefully, if I don't ramble on too much, we'll actually get some people home!
Here's a disclaimer from Tai.
Taimuffled: She doesn't own digimon or Pokémon or any other corporate thing mentioned.
Vay also muffled: she only owns me, so don't steal, ask if you want to use me in a story.
Me: That's right.
Matt muffled: why would they want to use you?
Sounds of a fight can be heard
Me: Ok… Onward!
Last time:
"First, you people," Gennai said, turning to the console board and typing rapidly. Everyone watched in anticipation as an image began to form on screen.
"Hello? Who is this?"
The heard the voice come from the fuzzy screen.
"Izzy!" Tai yelped, "Is that you buddy?"
"Tai!?" Came the shocked reply.
"All right! We have contact!" Vay yelled as she gave Matt a hi-five in joy.
On with the story!
The picture on the screen sharpened and they could see Izzy's face peering at them from the screen.
"That's Izzy, by the way," Kari said to the Pokémon trainers. They nodded as they stared at Izzy's enlarged face.
"Thank God!" Izzy exclaimed, "We didn't know what happened, we never thought we'd get you back."
"Is that them?" a voice screeched of screen and they watched as Izzy was shoved over and Sora's face replaced him.
"That's Sora," Kari added conversationally.
"Do you know how worried we've been!" she screeched at them. Everyone cringed. Sora wasn't one for getting mad often, but when she did, she didn't do it by halves.
"I'm very mad at you Tai Kamiya!" she yelled, glaring furiously at the slanty haired youth.
"What did I do?" he asked incredulous, backing away from the screen.
"What would have happened if you hadn't come back, huh? Did you think about that? How do you think I… I mean, we, would have coped without you… erm… without all of you…" she added, blushing a little.
Vay's smile had grown wider and wider at every word Sora had said and now she was grinning with positive glee and malevolence. She turned to Matt, who was also grinning to himself.
"Tai and Sora," he said almost laughing, as he looked at Vay.
"Who knew?" she added with a shrug and they both burst out laughing.
The rest watched as T.K and Yolei grabbed Sora under the arms and dragged her away from the screen. Izzy's face reappeared.
"So Gennai, what do we need to do?" Izzy asked, serious.
"I'm glad you asked Izzy, otherwise we may have been here all day," the old man said as he stared at the group behind him, "I need you to stay connected and I need either Yolei, Cody or T.K to have their digi-vice's ready."
"I'll do it," Cody's voice came from the background, "T.K and Yolei are a little busy restraining Sora."
Izzy's face turned away from the screen, and the group could just see in the small gap that was now present, a fuming Sora struggling against her captors.
"I'll kill him, just wait! I'll KILL him!" she screeched.
"Someone's in the doghouse," Vay said, grinning at Tai as she slung an arm around his shoulders. Tai blushed profusely and dropped his head. In doing so he speared Vay in the eye with his pointy, horizontal hair. She yelped and jumped back.
"Argh! Tai you fool! OUCHIES!" she screamed as she held her eye. Matt grabbed her shoulders and held her steady. He gently removed her hand but she kept her eyes tight shut.
"Open your eyes," he requested.
"No," she whimpered.
"Open."
"But I…"
"Open."
"Don't want…"
"Open."
"To…"
"OPEN!"
"All right!" she screeched. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Matt. He bent down so that he was eye level with her. He leaned in closely and looked at the injured eye. She involuntarily took in a little breath. He had never been this close to her face before… unless she counted the 2 times she had fallen on top of him… but they didn't really count because they were accidents. He studied her eye for a while. Eventually he leant back a little bit and looked at her properly.
"It's fine," he stated, "Just as beautiful as before," he added very quietly. So quietly that Vay wasn't sure if she'd heard it. She looked at him, confused, and he just stared right back.
"Erm… guys…" Davis's voice cut in. They both jumped and Vay leapt back.
"Yes, so, your eye seems fine," Matt stuttered.
"Yes, thank you very much for checking that for me," Vay said in an almost robotic fashion.
You are very welcome."
And with that they both turned abruptly back to the screen.
"Anyway," Tai said, rolling his eyes. Mimi was giggling as she went over to Vay and linked arms with her. She dragged her off and started whispering and giggling in her ear. Kari went over and joined in. Vay was looking sheepish and embarrassed and seemed to be nodding weakly at whatever they were saying. Tai sidled over to Matt and poked him in the side, grinning.
"You're lucky, you know that young man?" Gennai said to him.
"What do you mean?" Matt asked weakly as he looked at Tai who was grinning widely, and Davis who was punching him on the arm occasionally and saying stuff like "way to go man."
"You don't meet a girl like that every digital age," Gennai said simply and turned his attention to the Pokémon trainers. Matt smiled a watery smile and chanced a glance at Vay, who was blushing profusely at the whispered torrent coming from Mimi and Kari.
"Now you three," Gennai said, addressing the Pokémon trainers, "We'll send you back to your dimension first I think, much less complicated. Time to say you're goodbyes."
The three turned to the six and smiled.
"At least I can say that today wasn't a total waste," Ash said with a smile.
Everyone grinned.
"Oh come here," Vay said enthusiastically, detaching herself from Mimi and pulling Ash into a strong hug. Ash blushed but hugged her back. She released him and hugged Misty, and then with a deep breath and a quirk of her eyebrow she hugged Brock and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Brock collapsed. Matt frowned deeply until he felt someone poke himself in the side. He looked down and saw that it was Tai.
"Way to hide your feelings man," he said with a wide grin. Matt shook his head and moved forward. He shook Ash's hand and gave Misty a quick hug; she went a lovely shade of red that clashed with her hair. He then took Brock's hand and gave it a brief shake before moving back. Everyone said their goodbyes, some (Mimi) a little more enthusiastically that others. Ash and Kari hugged shyly and she gave him a quick peck on the cheek that caused indignant noises from Davis and Misty… and Tai. The digimon said goodbye to them also, and to Pikachu, who was looking a little tearful.
"If you're finished, if you'd just like to step up here," Gennai said as he indicated a small platform. The Pokémon trainers did as they were asked and stood there waiting.
"Ready?" Gennai asked, "3… 2…1… and here you go."
And with that they started to fade from sight. Everyone waved until they could see no more of them.
"Well, they're back now, back where they belong," Gennai said with a smile as he turned to the digi-destined. Vay nodded sadly and the others looked a little forlorn. Mimi had burst into tears and was being consoled by Davis, of all people.
"Now to send you home," Gennai said, "Cody, are you ready?"
Cody's digivice appeared at the screen, "Ready," his soft voice sounded.
"All right then Kari, you point yours at the screen also," Gennai instructed. She did as she was told.
"Cody, when I give the word say "digi-port open", got it?" Gennai said.
"Got it," the reply came soft, but clear.
"Just one more thing. Vay dear, come here please," Gennai asked, holding out his hand. She complied and she took his hand in her own.
"I want you take your staff with you," He said with a smile. She looked taken aback.
"Really?" she asked tremulously.
"Really," Gennai said calmly, "You can keep it in here."
He produced a small glass ball that was on the end of a necklace. She took it in her hands and went over to the glass tube. It opened and she placed her hands inside and took it out.
"Minimise," she whispered and the glowing green ball became much smaller. She opened the glass ball and slipped the energy inside. She clasped it shut and attempted to attach the necklace around her neck. Matt moved forward and helped her do it. She smiled her thanks at him and stared at the glass ball in the palm of her hand. The staff span and shone inside, like a tiny green galaxy.
"Than you," she said to Gennai as she enveloped him in a hug. He smiled at her and pulled away.
"Time to go home," he said. The digi-destined cheered.
"All right Cody, say it," Gennai said.
"Digi-port open!" came the cry. There was a blinding flash of light and then it subsided.
"Ok children, you can go through," Gennai explained.
"Can I put my digi-vice down now?" Kari and Cody asked in unison. Gennai chuckled and gave the affirmative. Cody's digi-vice disappeared from view, giving them a clear field through.
Davis led Mimi through into the real world first. Closely followed by a reluctant Tai, who was being dragged by Kari.
Matt smiled a Vay and gave a little bow, "Ladies first," he said. She raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"You're more like Tai than you think," she said, shaking her head.
"Wha… ?" Matt managed to get out before she pushed him, arms failing, into the real world. She turned to the digimon.
"See you guys real soon," she said to them. They all smiled and Gabumon and Kitmon came forward for a hug.
"Bye!" she called as she jumped back into the real world. The digimon all called bye as the screen turned back to normal, and the forms of the digi-destined disappeared slowly from view. Then they heard it, just before they disappeared totally from sight.
"Wait! What about my bag?" Mimi's faint voice screeched.
Gennai chuckled and tapped something into the console.
"Gennai," Agumon's voice said. He turned to look at the digimon enquiringly.
"Have you got anything to eat in here?"
As Vay landed back in the real world she surveyed the sight before her. Matt was lay on the ground after she had shoved him unceremoniously through the port. Tai was hiding behind Izzy. Sora was struggling against Yolei and T.K to get loose. Joe was stood next to her, Vay, looking sceptical about the whole situation. Cody was smiling at everyone and Kari was stood next to him. Davis had managed to make Mimi stop crying and was still saying the occasional soothing word to the hiccoughing girl. Vay smiled around the group.
"Wait!" Mimi screeched suddenly, making them all jump, "What about my bag?"
They heard a very faint chuckle from Izzy's laptop before the picture faded away to nothing.
"All my stuff!" she wailed, her eyes filled up with tears. Matt got up and brushed himself down. He was stood next to Vay. He gave her 'the look' and she merely smiled innocently at him.
"What's that noise?" Tai asked, looking up at the sky. Matt looked up also. He blanched as he recognised the object that was falling. He grabbed Vay around the waist and threw himself to the side.
"Geh?" Vay said as she felt herself being flung to the side as Matt held her against himself.
Joe looked confused as he watched this display.
"What are you ARGH!" he yelled as something large and pink landed on top of him. Everyone jumped and a few people screamed. Yolei and T.K had let go of Sora in their shock. She looked around, spotted Tai and lunged at him.
"Urk!" he yelped as she landed on him. He cringed away from the impact of a thousand blows that were surely coming, but when they didn't, he opened his eyes and looked at his hat-wearing friend. She was looking at him anxiously and then grabbed him in a choking hug.
"You're so stupid!" she was saying into his shoulder, "You're so stupid, why did you do that? Why would you do that to me? I was so worried!"
Tai gave his sister a very confused look, and she smiled back at him and gave him a wink.
Matt and Vay were sat on the floor, but Matt still hadn't let go of her.
"I think it's safe now," she said as she detached herself and stood up.
"Help me," a muffled voice came from underneath the pink thing. They could see Joe's arms and legs sticking out. Mimi was scrutinizing the object and she gave a little shriek.
"My bag! My bag!" she cried as she danced around on the spot.
"We have to get that off of him," Yolei said worried
"But it's so heavy!" T.K wailed. Vay's eyes lit up and she grabbed the glass ball around her neck.
"I can help!" she cried as she opened the ball and took out the green ball. They all stared at her.
"Maximise," she said and the ball grew to it's original size, "Reveal," was the next command she gave and the ball elongated into the staff. She span it around a bit for effect and then pointed it at the bag.
"Levitate," she said and the bag lifted easily off Joe, she manoeuvred it away and lowered it to the floor.
"Ooooooooooh, may aching body," Joe said as Izzy and Kari helped him up.
"At least we can get this back easily now," Davis said with a grin.
"How do you think it would look if we had this thing floating down the road?" Cody asked, a little incredulous. The group visibly sagged.
"I've got an idea," Vay said as she hurried over to the bag. She unzipped it and squashed the Staff inside.
"Levitate," she said to the bag as she pointed her palms at it. Miraculously the bag floated from the ground.
"Now all we have to do is grab the handles and it'll look like we're carrying it," she stated happily as she grabbed one end of the handle.
"Smart and pretty," Tai said moving behind her and grabbing it, "How do you do it?" he asked sarcastically.
"Oh you know," she said equally sarcastic, "I once saved a village from evil pirates using only a hoe and a glass of water."
Matt chuckled and moved round to the other side and grabbed hold. The original six who had been carrying the bag moved around the sides and grabbed hold. They set off with great ease down the street.
"So how far do we have to go?" Davis asked.
"She's staying with me," Sora said.
"Oh man, that's all the way across town!" Davis moaned.
About 10 minutes later
"Are we nearly there yet?" Davis asked exasperatedly.
The group ignored him.
"Are we nearly there yet?" he asked again. Yolei turned around and opened her mouth wide, ready to scream at him, but Matt held up a hand to silence her. She closed her mouth abruptly as she watched Matt search in his pockets. His eyes lit up as he found it. He pulled the Doctor Pepper bottle from his pocket.
"Here you go," Matt said calmly as he proffered the bottle. Tai and Vay burst out laughing.
"A glimmer of a sense of humour," Tai choked out.
"There's hope for you yet Ishida," Vay said as she patted his arm across the bag.
"I certainly hope so," Matt said and gave her a quick but meaningful look. She blushed and carried on forward with the bag.
"Let's just keep going," Izzy said wearily.
Another 10 minutes later
"So… are we there ack!" Davis began to ask until the whole group tackled him.
He he, that's where I'm ending it. I hope you enjoyed it. Tell me what you thought and if you want me to write anymore to this story.
