Scene opens up with SS running onto the stage and stops in the middle of it as he pants trying to catch his breath, succeeding he stands straight up only to fall back onto the couch that was conveniently placed behind him, chucking to himself briefly he sits back up running his hand through his hair and smiles at the audience.



SS: Ohayo minna-san, okgenki desu ka?

Vadermon�s Lab � Gobi Desert



            In the lab Verdermon is feverishly typing away at the console as the device above him crackles with electricity sending into the empty husks which are slowly gaining color, growing body hair and forming features that are an exact copy of the Courage bearer, soon the machine slowly stops as a mechanical arm lowers down towards Tai and shoots out a beam of blue light that travels along Tai�s body and as it traveled along his body it seemed to change his clothes into digital data for a brief second then as quickly as the process started it raised back up and two more mechanical arms lower down above the Tai husks and the same blue light shoots out but instead of analyzing it started to used the copy data to create the blank husks into exact copies of Tai from his old sneakers to the familiar mess of brown hair that stood up defying gravity but unlike Tai they still had a blank, hollow look in their eyes as to say they still haven�t been activated still just empty husks that were just barely living by the shallow breaths they were taking, little by little Tai was slowly able to regain movement of his body as he opened his mouth and let loose a defiant scream held in by his temporary paralysis which brought a grin to Vadermon�s lips as he slowly moved towards Tai�s confinement slab.



Vadermon: I see the poison wore off and quickly too usually the dosage I gave you wouldn�t have allowed you to move for another 2 days.



Tai (snarling): Your bastard let me out of here now or else I�ll ripe you limb from skinny limb.



Vadermon (tapping his gun against Tai�s forehead): Temper, temper young Courage, now you know Lord Demon doesn�t want you hurt that�s why I don�t dispose of you now so consider yourself lucky.



Tai (calming down slightly but still frowns): You�re just lucky I�m in these restraints or else even your attack wouldn�t work against me.



Vadermon (walking back to the console): Keep telling yourself that Courage soon it wouldn�t matter as soon as I program your �brothers� and re-program you as well, even your pathetic digidestined wont be able to stop Lord Demon from conquering both words.



            Tai was about to say more but as soon as he opened his mouth Vadermon presses a series of commands which made the arm pointing to one of the Tai clones shoot out a black beam which made the body convulse and fight against his bonds and slowly once placid hands started to clench into tight fists, a motionless face quickly turned into a frown accompanied by a snarl that escaped the �boy�s� mouth as Vadermon switched off the power the newly awakened clone was breathing deeply but what startled Tai more was the insane laughter that soon came from its mouth.



Clone 1 (still laughing insanely): Is that all you got, come on give me some more or are you so weak and pathetic go find someone better now!



Vadermon (grinning): Ooh, it looks like we have a very live one here, has a high tolerance to pain as well too, interesting.



Clone 1 (looking around): Nice place you got here but it can be darker, accused light, so you going to let me out or not I like bondage and all but this isn�t the time for it!



Vadermon (looks at Tai from the corner of his eyes): I think I like this one best and so will Lord Demon but now I must release him and send him to Lord Demon to complete the transformation.



            Vadermon taps another series of commands which pull the restraints from the clone that slowly stands up and looks over at Tai as he jumps off the table and walks over to Tai looming over the prone boy as the clone looks him over.



Clone 1: Hmmm�..this is the original? Not much to look at (looks at his own wrist) RX-114 eh? I think I will change that I guess I will take our full name since you hate being called that.  (Looks over at the other clone) When will my �brother� be awakened?



Vadermon: Patience young one first you must see our Lord and Master there you will be equipped with the necessary materials needed to help him conquer the world.



Taichi (grins) Take over the world eh�...I think I like that, where do I sign up and when do I go?



Vadermon (opening an ID portal): Through there and right now if you wish.



Taichi (nods): Very well then, (turning to Tai) I�ll be seeing you later �brother�.



            Taichi smirks as Vadermon turns back to his console and initiates the ID portal which shows a picture of Demon�s throne room as it stabilizes, bidding the bearer of Courage a farewell Taichi jumps into the ID portal which ripples before shutting down leaving the room dark again lit only by various machines.



Vadermon: Pity that making that portal took up so much energy so it will be a few minuets before you will be able to meet your other �brother� but its not like you will be going anywhere since right after you will be joining both of them in arms against you former friends.



Tai: I�ll make you pay for this!



Vadermon (laughing evilly): Keep telling yourself that Courage for when Lord Demon is done with you, you will be nothing more then a humble servent ready to do what his Lordship commands, even if it is to kill your comrade.



Tai (yelling): Your wrong I will never turn on my friends, nothing you can do to me will make me do anything to harm them you will have to kill me first.



Vadermon: I beg to differ; your mind will be wiped clean of your current memories and replaced with only memories of serving Lord Demon it will be like you have never had friends only Demon will be in your mind he will be your lord and master from now on.



Tai: You�re sick why would you do such a thing?



Vadermon: Why to help my Lord Demon conquer both worlds which are rightfully his.



Tai: Even Vamdemon couldn�t take over the world and he tried 3 times, first by trying to destroy the eighth child, second by trying to destroy all of our parents to gain enough energy, and lastly as Belial Vamdemon and he still couldn�t stand up against us.



Vadermon: Let me tell you something Vamdemon was one of Demon�s subordinates and was very weak he barly survived Demon�s punishments for insubordination why do you think Owikawa seemed to recognize Demon when he was after one Ken Ichijouji?



Tai: --- No way, Vamdemon was that weak that he had to use a human to stand up to Demon because that way he wouldn�t be killed right off just the human. ---



Vadermon: I see you�re speechless but Demon�s power doesn�t end there, he can easily shift from one dimension to another at will it was just a miscalculation that Ichijouji opened that portal to the Dark Ocean which temporarily held him, now enough of this talk I must regain the power to reformat the other blank and then nothing will be able to stand in Lord Demon�s plan to take over both Digital World, the Real World, and beyond. (Laughs evilly but is quickly stopped as the room shakes forcefully.)  �What is this???  What�s happening?� (Quickly runs over to a console and presses a few buttons to bring a screen up of the topside and gasps) �Impossible!!! How did they manage to find us so quickly by my calculations I still have enough time to awaken the second! How?!?!�



Tai (smirking): ---Koushiro, if you ever get me out of this I promise I will never make fun or hit that stupid pineapple laptop again.---



Vadermon (smashing a few commands into the console): General Tatsumaru! I am working down here for our lord and master I suggest you keep the wretched destined away from this place you got that! (Shuts off the screen before the General says anything then looks over at the still restrained Tai.) �And just what the hell are you smirking about at least I�m the not the one strapped to a table!



Tai (still smirking): You�ve lost, and soon your so called master will fall as well it�s only a matter of time, good always triumph over evil especially when the good side is the Digidestined.



Vadermon (getting frustrated): We will see if good will win this time (goes back to his console and quickly restarts the process on the second clone but as the operation goes underway about midway the power stops and the lab is plunged into darkness only to be revived by blood red lights that streamed from the alerts, panicking the thin digimon looked down at the console only for it to reply that the energy had been compromise and the progress was only 67% complete and the virus to make the clone evil was not uploaded, slamming his palms against the console he typed in the commands to open the ID portal back to the Shadow Realm as the pool of blue light stabilized and showed the throne room Vadermon slowly picked up his neural gun and pointed it at Courage with a wry grin on his face he opened his mouth to say something only to be stopped by a explosion behind him sending the three foot reinforced steel door flying at him deleting him instantly as it impacted but the flight path was not hindered as it slammed into the console causing another explosion that destabilized the portal making it change pictures erratically as the power feeding into it went out of control making other contraptions inside of the lab explode as well sending a volley of metal and liquid around the room, the metal embedding itself in the walls and by a shear streak of luck one very sharp piece of shrapnel cut the constraints of Tai�s bindings slightly just enough for him to weakly push up and break the remaining straps, quickly rolling over and falling to the ground as another larger chunk of shrapnel sliced into the slab which would of impaled the young destined, gasping slightly but quickly regaining his bearings he crawled over to the stasis field that held Agumon and with some effort lifted the young draconic warrior to his chest just in time to see part of the ceiling swing down and with tremendous force knock Tai and Agumon through the rapidly changing portal sending him to an unknown land whether in real or digital his destination was unknown.  Unfortunately the portal soon join the rest of the lab and was soon destroyed all that is except for a lone table that held within the exact copy of the digidestined of courage that was shield by part of the door that destroyed Vadermon leaving it relatively unscaved except for a few cuts and bruises from small parts of debris that managed to get by the large barrier.  Soon voices were heard from the entrance as the rest of the destined were rapidly descending lead by Kari and Sora, they all rushed into the room and started to look for any signs of their missing leader, Gatomon, lead by her heighten sense of smell, soon found the body of their leader, waving down the rest of the group and pointed where their fallen comrade was enough to set the entire team into action as the boys got under the hulking metal and pushed with all of their might managed to send it falling to the other side as both Love and Light rushed towards the body they were halted by Izzy who said that Joe should check up on him first, reluctantly nodding the girls back up enough for Joe with his medical bag to move in and start inspecting the boy on the table.  Soon after checking all that he could and seeing no signs of damage aside from being unconscious he turned to the others with a smile on his face.



Joe: He�s alright, his pulse is a little weak and he�s unconscious probably from some debris hitting his head aside from that we got Tai back.  Matt, Izzy help me get these bindings off of Tai and we can take him back home where we can get him to a hospital so that he can recover ok.



            Nodding slightly the three boys picked up a piece of sharp metal and covered it with a cloth Joe provided them so they wouldn�t cut themselves started to work away at the straps that were across Tai�s legs, waist, and chest.  Soon after the boys started they were done and as they asked each other how to carry him out noticed the girls behind them with a crude stretched behind them, smiling and chuckling to each other Joe carefully picked up the boy and placed him on the handmade stretcher with Izzy at the front and Davis at the end they slowly proceeded back up towards the surface with Kari at one side holding her �brother�s� hand and Sora on the other smiling softly at the sleeping Tai, soon the group breached the surface to be met with the once battlefield now turned calm within the howling winds of the desert nodding slightly all the digimon aside from Imperial Dramon de-digivoled back to their rookie stages and climbed into the giant dramon as the force shield enveloped them protecting them from the sub-sonic speeds their would reach soon enough, as the entire group got comfortable within the cabin Sora turned to look at them with a bright smile on her face as she says her last words before take-off.



Sora (smiling): Let�s go home everyone.



            The desert that was once witness to a massive battle soon returned to the calm state it once was only this time with a few scars to let others know that something big happened here and to wonder what it was.

Unknown Location



            In a small village nestled near the base of a large ancient oak tree a figured garbed in a long grey clock was sitting on the roof of one of the larger houses which stood within other houses and hovels, as the figure was about to enter the house a loud, thunderous sound could be heard within the town square, quickly turning around the figure could see a lighting blue sphere hovering a foot of the ground and nearby villagers fleeing from the area as lighting struck at their feet.  Sensing a dark aura from the beautiful yet dangerous object the figure leaped down from the roof into the house throwing off the robe to reveal a young boy no older then fourteen with wild red hair and deep brown eyes wearing simple khaki shorts and a grey T-shirt,  as the boy hit the floor he quickly ran through the house until he got to the front door, throwing it open he quickly raced towards the now gaping hole, slowing down as he came upon the crest the boy cautiously looked into the hole only to see a young boy with a mess of brown hair tightly holding onto an Agumon that had a collar around its neck which fizzed occasionally signifying that the device had been damaged.  Putting caution to the wind the young boy jumped into the hole and carefully shook the unconscious Tai who slowly opened his eyes to look at the one who had woken him up.



Tai (groggily): ---where am I, what happened? Last thing I remembered is being in Vadermon�s lab then an explosion, Vadermon being deleted good riddance, what else happened? Agumon! Finally found Agumon, what? His collar is broken the field is gone, can�t remember anything else no I can being hit by a large piece of metal then nothing, now I�ve woken up again to see this strange boy who is he? Can�t stay up any.....longer.....must..............sleep.



            The last thing Tai heard was someone calling out for help but was soon washed away by a sea of darkness unknown if he will ever emerge from it again.



Not the End......

            Scene reopens with SS looking over his work in astonishment but then quickly jumps up only to trip over the couch and fall back onto it tipping it over but then he quickly stands back up with a sheepish smile on his face.



SS: I cant believe I finished it took soooooo long but I finally finished I know this chapter was a bit shorter then my other ones but I feel that I did a lot but don�t worry I will make up for it in my next chapter where an evil Tai is tutored in the ways of darkness from Demon while another recovers from his wounds and lastly the final Tai is diagnosed as being in a coma by the real world doctors and is watched over by the worrying destined even more so by Light and Love all this and more in the next chapter of my digital saga The Fallen � Healing scars see all of you later and please don�t forget to review ja ne minna-san.



            A powerful wind that comes out of nowhere pushes you out of the door as it slams and fades from existence placing you back in the real world.
