An Altered Path 1

Disclaimer: I wouldn’t be writing this if I owned Digimon.

Plot

What if in the battle of Gallantmon vs. Beelzemon, Beelzemon was smart enough to not waste his bullets on Gallantmon’s armor, and when the Shield of the Just clashed with the Double Impact, it caused an explosion of epic proportions, but when the smoke clears, everyone is missing and Takato is stuck with…

Pairings: Rukato Henjeri TerriLop RenaGuil Taiora Takumi Tomuzie(?) Mishiro

Vote for whether or not you want Daikari or Takari. If you don’t like Tomuzie (Tomoki/ Tommy and Suzie as a couple) tell me and I won’t use it. This story will be T for now but if I get good enough I’ll change to M for Lemons.

And if anyone is willing, I am in need of a Beta. If you wanna help, please explain to me how that works first. Now, on to the story…

“Guardian Barrage!!”

“You annoying-“

This momentary distraction was just what Gallantmon needed to shift the battle in his favor. Before the smoke could clear, he slammed Beelzemon with his shield, causing him to fly back.

“Whoo hoo, YEAH!!”

“Huh?”

Takato looked over to his friends, only to find them cheering him on.

“Thanks Kazu!”

“Thank you everybody”, Guilmon added. “All right, let’s go!”

“Yeah, let’s get’em!”

Their friends just stood in silent awe at the newfound Mega. Deciding to break the silence, Rika put in her 2 cents.

“Kenta was right, they have merged somehow.”

“Guilmon and Takato have become one, indestructible fighting machine!”

“Lightning Joust!!”

Summoning a giant orb of energy from the tips of his lance, Gallantmon blasted a stunned Beelzemon, sending him sailing from the force of the laser.

“Stop!” Jeri shrieked. Ignoring the girl, Beelzemon stood, gun aimed straight for the Holy Knight. Angered by his decision, Gallantmon bellowed in his dual voice.

“You just never learn. Beelzemon, your Judgement Day is at hand. For the horrible things you have done, now you must pay; THE ULTIMATE PRICE!” Placing his shield in front of him:

“Shield of the Just!!”

As he watched the Aegis begin to glow, Beelzemon smirked and pulled out his recently retrieved-and hidden-gun from the holster on his back. Putting as much energy as possible into his twin Berenjena, he called his attack, unaware of the 7 crimson orbs spinning rapidly behind his back.

“Double Impact!!”

And all hell broke loose.

(Rika)

Heat.

Unbearable heat. It was as if someone was literally trying to rip the skin right off my body, inch by inch, then put it back on, over and over again until I just wanted to die.

“JERI!!”

I looked over to where I thought I heard the sound coming from, only to see Henry trying to reach the glum form of Jeri-who was desperately trying to find some kind of footing on the trembling ground-with Terriermon and Lopmon on his shoulders. Wait….

‘Suzie!’ She was nowhere to be seen, and as I looked around, I realized something else too.

Kazu and Kenta were gone.

Looking forward I could vaguely make out the silhouette of Gallantmon, but it was enough to notice how he kept phasing in and out of his own shadow.

“TAKATO!”

As I ran forward I could vaguely hear Renamon yelling at me to stop. But I couldn’t stop, not when the Gogglehead needed me. When I got closer, I could see how Gallantmon had split back into Takato and Guilmon, both going in opposite directions and seemingly unconscious. I could feel the presence of Renamon teleporting behind me, but out of the corner of my eye I saw a red flash and I could feel her no more. I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.

I worked as best as I could under the stressful situation, shaking him, rolling him, even kicking him. But even through all that he still didn’t wake up. Just as I was grabbing his goggles to snap them on his head, I felt a sharp pain in the back of mine and fell over, blacking out before I even hit the ground, but not before I felt the cylindrical pressure of plastic and glass hit my throat.

‘Stupid Gogglehead…’
“Huh?” Looking up, the short white Digimon felt a tremor go down his spine for no apparent reason.

“Hey Bokomon, you feelin’ ok?”

Jumping slightly and falling over the log he was sitting on, the Digimon-now known as Bokomon- alleviated his friends worry, shaking his head slightly from left to right.

“No need to worry, my friend. Just a little cold.”

“Oh well if that’s the case, then why don’t you go to sleep now. And before you say it, I’ll be glad to keep watch for the rest of the night.”

Without further objections, Bokomon simply walked over to where the boys were scarcely separated from each other and lied down. Sitting with his back to the log, Takuya peered over the blonde girl sleeping away from the guys. Scooting over a silently as possible, he lifted the girl’s head and gently placed it on his lap, trying as hard as possible not to wake her up. After waiting a bit, he cautiously brought his hand into her hair and began to rub and play with it. Not noticing the sigh of contentment from the girl on his lap, he looked up at the moon in thought.

‘I wonder how long we’ve been here…? It seems like forever since we beat Mercurymon and got Kouichi back. And yet we still haven’t gotten to Cherubimon. It’s like he’s hiding or something. At least we kept Patamon safe. He looked over to the other group, seeing Patamon with the pink warmer around his middle and using his hat as a pillow, snuggling up against his ‘mother’. ‘But I guess it doesn’t really matter. As long as everyone’s happy, what’s the worse that could happen?’

Looking back up, he saw a wisp of light drift through the sky. ‘Shooting stars? Didn’t know they had those in the Digital World. I already know what my wish is. Taking a glance back down to the blond, he let out a smirk. He continued to rub her hair as his eyes grew heavier and heavier, until he eventually dozed off, unaware of the fact that in the Digi-World, new trouble was brewing, just below the surface.
“Mr.Kamiya?”

‘Shut up…

“Mr.Kamiya?”

‘Shut up…’

“MR.KAMIYA!!!”

“SHUT UP!”

Silence.

“Umm…uhhhhhhhhhhh…eeeeeeeeehhheehhhh…ummmmmmmmm…”

“Nice save.” A few stifled giggles were heard. “Now, Mister Kamiya I must ask: Am I boring you?”

“No way, Mr.G, I mean, being told about your anus for 2 hours is sooo exciting.” More giggles.” Now if you’ll excuse me I was trying to take a nap.”

“sigh…Meet me outside, Taichi.”

‘Whoa, he’s serious. The only time he ever calls anyone by their first name is when he means business.’ “Whatever.” Putting his hands in his pockets, Tai stood up and headed for the door. “Stupid old monkey, needs to get laid or somethin’” he murmured under his breath. He heard a sigh come from the back of the room and could practically feel the glare coming from a certain redhead in the back.

Keryu heard him though. Eye twitching, he followed the large-haired boy out side, ignoring the wild laughter coming from his students. Lazily closing the door as he left, he walked forward to his now moping student.

----- (A/N: this means that its different perspective, but in the same general area.)

Izzy sighed. He already had a general idea of what was going on, but he had to hear it to make sure. He knew Tai could feel him staring as he walked out, followed by Mr.Gerusagi, who, due to his laziness, left the door slightly ajar.

‘Good, now I won’t have to get up to hear.’ Refocusing back onto his laptop, he was unaware of the presence peering over his shoulder as he was typing frantically on his keyboard.

“Hey, Izzy, whatcha doin’?” He jumped up out of his seat, almost slapping the person the person behind, but failed when a soft, tiny hand grabbed his wrist as he was flailing around. Without turning around he soon realized who it was.

“Oh, sorry Mimi, you scared me. You know you shouldn’t sneak up on me like that.”

“Oops, my bad, hehehe. Sorry.” She leaned forward to give him a kiss, but was stopped when a pair of fingers was placed on her mouth.

“Ah, Mimi, not here” he said nervously.

“Oh, poo,” she pouted, “well you owe me later. Anyway, what are you doing?” she said, trying to look over his shoulder.

“Well, you see,” he said while turning back around to face his computer, “I’ve detected some strange anomaly in the Digital World through my laptop and-“

“So what’s the problem, Tai?” a voice could be heard from the hall, silencing all the chatter in the room.

‘So they’ve started…

“I don’t have a problem, Mr.G, I’m just tired.” Tai replied.

“Now come on, Tai, I’ve known you since you were in Kindergarten. Heck, we live right next door for Pete’s sake! You can tell me anything.”

Tai was silent for a while, before he sighed and looked up at his friend. “It’s…complicated, Keryu. I just… you wouldn’t understand.”

“Is it a family problem?” Noticing his silence, he came to an assumption. “It is a family problem, isn’t it? Are your parents druggies? Are you being hit? Is your sister molesting you? THAT’S IT! Hikari IS MOLESTING YOU!!!” By now a few of the other teachers had come out to see what the noise was.

On the inside, the students were going crazy with laughter.

“AWW, HEHEHEH, man I can’t believe, HAHAHAHAHA, he would even say that, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!”

Back outside…

After they had reassured the other teachers that it was nothing and that he was ok, they had returned to the hallway section outside the door.

“Anyhoo,” by now the class was quiet again, “since I’m sure you aren’t being molested (he smirked at the blush on Tai’s face), and knowing who you are, I’m guessing its girl trouble.”

“How did you…? Yeah I guess.”

“Hmmm…would this have anything to do with that Sora girl?” The brunette boy visibly stiffened at the name. ‘Bingo.’

Back with Izzy…

‘I knew it.’

Comments such as ‘What a loser’ and ‘that poor guy. You know, he IS kinda cute’ could be heard. He looked at Mimi’s worried face. Oh yeah, maybe I should explain. By now, its common knowledge that Sora and Matt were going out, but, even before that happened, everyone could see the obvious crush Tai had on her. After he found out, he supported it, like any good friend, but whenever they weren’t around, he would just sorta sulk for a while, unless there was something else to preoccupy his mind.But anyway, let’s come back.

“I…its…well…listen, I do your homework, I do well on the tests, so could you please just leave me alone for a while? Not waiting for an answer, he walked down the hall, probably headed for the roof. Hearing Keryu sigh, Izzy looked back at Mimi, who had an uncharacteristically solemn look on her face. Looking around to make sure no one would notice, he leaned forward and gave Mimi a quick peck on the lips before pulling back and looking at her now smiling face. Smiling back, he watched as she got up and walked back over to her regular seat by the window, on the other side of the room. When he turned back to his PC his smile instantly soured.

‘What is with all these anomalies? Last time we checked, Azulongmon said that everything was normal on the Server. Hmmm…I’ll have to talk to Gennai about this later.’ Looking back at the board, he watched as Mr.Gerusagi reorganized and began his science class anew.
“ZHUQIAOMON, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!” The Thunder God Dragon, Azulongmon, bellowed.

“ It was the humans fault”, he spat, “if they hadn’t come in the first place, I wouldn’t have had to resort to that.”

“That is no excuse. Do you know what you have done? You have just divided the Tamers, thereby limiting the power of the only beings that had a chance at protecting the worlds when It shows up.”

“Humph, we don’t need those, pathetic humans to protect us. I can handle It all by myself.” In his arrogant boast, he did not notice the moving white speck on the ground.

“By the Digital God, I hope you’re right…”
Takato could feel something rough under him and something soft over as he began to gain consciousness. Opening his eyes, he was met with a very scary sight.

‘Aghhhhhh, I’m blind, I’m blind!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Maneuvering his arms, he felt around until he grabbed the object on top of him.

‘Hmmm, let’s see, 2…legs.’ Starting from where he grabbed, he slid his hands up until he grabbed onto something round. ‘What’s this?’

He gave it a squeeze and almost immediately afterwards, he felt something push into his stomach. Thinking nothing of it, he continued his exploration up the ‘body’ until he got to the head. Feeling the hair on the head as he moved up, he felt his hand pass over some kind of material as his hand followed the hair into the air.

‘Now who has their hair like this…?’

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

DING!!!

“MMOHHHM MMMY MNODM, MMIMA’MM ON MOP MOMMM MMMEEEE (Oh my god, Rika’s on top of me)!!!

And what happened next was probably something out of the Twilight Zone, ‘cause nobody, especially Takato, would have ever expected her to do.

She moaned.

He knew he was blushing, even though he couldn’t see it. ‘I hope nobody ever sees this. Man, this is so embarrassing… But he also felt a tingly sensation in his pants and without even realizing it, the weight was lifted off of him, and he saw 2 lavender orbs right in front of him. At first he couldn’t fell anything at all…then-

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!”

An excruciating pain.

He reached down and cupped his crushed ‘jewels’, rolling on the floor, and probably crying. He could practically hear Terriermon making some kind of crude joke right now.

‘Wait, where’s…?’ Jumping up- while trying his best not to sound like a wuss- he looked at Rika. “Where’s Terriermon?” He failed miserably, his voice was so high pitched, he could have given Alvin a run for his money. He noticed the huge pink stain on her face as she desperately tried to hide her face as she answered him.

“I don’t know. Last time I saw anybody was before that explosion you caused.” She said, making sure to emphasize the ‘you’.

He scratched the back of his head nervously. “Eh heh heh heh…sorry. Hey why’d you hit me anyway? I mean, you seemed to enjoy it-“

Blam! He didn’t even see the fist coming before he passed out on the ground after being lifted a foot in the air after the monstrous punch.

Blushing confusedly, she turned around, and began to walk around, looking for any sign of their friends, or their bags.

‘Stupid Gogglehead…’
“Wake up, Henry.”

Smack!

The blue haired boy woke up with a start, rubbing his cheek as he sat up, looking at his diminutive companion.

“Terriermon! What was that for!?”

“Momentai, Hen. You were just sleeping for so long; I got bored lookin’ at ya.”

“Yeah, right. He was over here shaking like a wet dog this whole time.”

“Aww, Lopmon, why’d ya hafta tell him that?” He put his head down in defeat as Lopmon was laughing. That’s when I realized something.

“Hey Lopmon, why are we on a beach?”

True enough; the soft sand under him was sandwiched between the ocean behind him, and a thick forest in front of him.

“Well you see, after the explosion, when you ran for Jeri- and not Suzie (she glared at him as he looked away in shame) - we seemed to have fallen into some kind of rift. And when I awoke, I saw Terriermon having a nervous breakdown behind a rock.”

The Wong couldn’t help but laugh at his Mon’s craziness. But in a fit of extreme embarrassment, he actually had something important to say.

“Oh yeah, well, you’d be scared too if you saw something purple fall out of the sky and cause a huge explosion really, really close.”

By now, Henry was all ears. “Where did you see this explosion?”

Oh, so NOW you want my help. Make fun of me, laugh at me, take me for granted. But soon as you need me, you expect ol’ Terrie-

“Terriermon! Just show me where it was!”

“Sheesh, Momentai already, it was right over that hill.” Jumping on Henry’s head, he pointed to a sandy hill to the left of the Tamer. As he stood up to walk, the brown bunny jumped on his shoulder.

As he reached the top of the hill, he could see a campfire a little ways down from the hill, occupied by 2 figures. The closer he got, the more distinct the figures became-now identified as a boy, with brown hair, and a girl, with sea green hair and-

‘Wings..? Naaa, trick of the light. As he walked closer, he was spotted by the boy, who ran up and, at the same time they yelled;

“Who are you!!?”
(A/N)

Alright, first, PHEW, that took FOREVER to write. Secondly, about the whole molest thing, I was just joking. But molestation is no laughing matter, I mean, unless a teacher thinks that your younger sister is molesting you and he yells it in the middle of the hallway (at least I think its funny...). If molestation ever happens to you, you should tell as soon as possible, no matter what.

Now, on a lighter note, I would like to see if anybody can guess who those last 2 people were. If you want a clue, Read every name on the page (wink wink). Please give constructive criticism and advice if you have any. And tell me if you think my story is good or not. Sorry if the last part seemed rushed, but I was writing it at 5 in the morning a day be fore school starts- August 21, 2007.One more thing, IF YOU WANT KAZU AND KENTA, or RYO IN THE STORY TELL IF YOU DO OR NOT.

AVATAR SEASON 3 STARTS SEPTEMBER 21, WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO. If you want to see trailer, go to youtube and type ‘avatar season 3 trailer’. If you want to friend me on their, my name is ‘Dragoonice 1988’. RxR, and remember…
