That's What Friends Are For
A Digimon Darkfic

This is a rewrite of scene at the beginning of the episode when Piximon
trained the group. I warn you now. This very dark.

have asked no permission to use them and none has been granted. The plot
belongs to me.

"You two go ahead and look for shade! We'll catch up!" T.K. yelled,
signing the death warrant.
No one in the group expected Kuwagamon to pop out in the middle of the
desert nor did they expect him to be so much stronger.
The bug-like monster emerged from the desert sand, tossing Agumon and Tai
in different directions. Agumon fell on his back, but Tai landed badly and
broke his leg. Kuwagamon turned his sights toward the injured boy.
"Pepper breath!" the tiny dinosaur yelled. He fired his blast at
Kuwagamon. The blast had no effect except making him angrier. With a roar,
Kuwagamon charged at Agumon.
"Agumon! Run!" T.K. yelled.
"Agumon! Digevolve!" the others chimed in.
Agumon just stood there like a sitting duck, too scared to move, too
scared to evolve.
"Nooooo!" Tai shouted. He struggled to his feet and lunged at Agumon,
pushing him out of the way.
He saved his friend's life.
Unfortunately, no one could return the favor.
Tai's fate was sealed.
Kuwagamon's pincers came down on Tai's waist and raised him in the air. He
screamed in pain before being snapped in two. The two parts of Tai's body
fell to the sand. It slowly began to turn a crimson color.
"Tai!" Agumon yelled. He ran to his dead friend's torso.
Kuwagamon moved towards the others before suddenly being blown up.
"Tai! Say something!" Agumon insisted. He shook the half of the body.
Tai's body lay on its stomach, its arms outstretched in front of him. He
turned his head toward Agumon and coughed out some blood. "How's it going,
buddy?" Tai forced out, straining each word.
"Thank you for saving my life, Tai," Agumon said. His eyes began to well
up with tears.
Tai smiled. "That's what friends are for." His smile disappeared and his
eyes closed. "Good bye, my friend. Don't forget me."
"No Tai! Please don't die!" pleaded Agumon. He leaned over his friend and
started to cry.
Mimi sobbed to herself on Joe's shoulder, as did Zora on Matt's. The two
boys tried not to show any emotion. T.K. and the digimon all cried together.
Agumon's mind was tearing him apart. "Why couldn't I have just
digevolved?" he thought. "Tai could be alive right now?" He began to cry even
harder.
Behind him, he heard a voice he hadn't heard before speak up. It said it
could train them all to prevent this from happening again. Agumon paid it no
mind. After a short pause, he heard more conversation. Then they called his
name.
"Aren't you coming, Agumon?" Joe asked.
"No," he answered solemnly. "Leave me here to die."
"What are you talking about?" Zora asked with a hint of sadness still in
her voice.
"Tai sacrificed himself for me. If I had just evolved I could have saved
him. But now he's dead. And it's all my fault. I deserve the same fate as
him. Leave me here so that I may die with the buzzards."
"Do you think this is what Tai would have wanted!?" Matt spat angrily at
him.
Agumon didn't answer.
"It's not your fault," Mimi told him.
Agumon still said nothing.
The others left with Piximon. Agumon kneeled over the body of Tai for a
short while longer. He dug a grave in the sand for Tai and carefully placed
his body in it. He covered the body and placed Tai's unit in the sand as a
tombstone.
"Good bye, Tai," Agumon said. A tear rolled down his cheek. "And thank
you."
