"If we head for the future..."

Kazu Matsumoto

Profile

"...Then we can be forgiven for the past."

With Nick's help, Kazu had the large rock off of Marcus in no-time. He glanced across to where the Rookies were staring down the last Digimon. The Strabimon would make his final words before committing suicide before them all. Kazu just stared coldly into the fading data as it evaporated. "Yggdrasil can suck it." Kazu would sigh and go back to check on Marcus, aside from the fairly serious impact of the rock he seemed to have a painful burn on one of his arms. Kazu took off his jacket and in one powerful tug he tore off one of his red sleeves, bending down he wrapped it around Marcus' arm and tied it securely. "Not the most hygienic thing but it's better then letting you bleed out."

Veemon would trot over and c**k his head to one side, looking at the fallen Dark Tamer. "Why are you helping him Kazu? He killed you... Not to ention he's still after your Digi-Soul..." Kazu, pulled his jacket back on and spat into a corner. "I owe him... Back in the War of Memories." Veemon physically flinched remembering the War. It had torn the Digital World asunder, literally. "It was early on, in the forest. The Knights and Spirits versus TyrantKabuterimon. At this point you could only reach Ex-Veemon." Kazu took a moment to pause, remembering how futile his efforts at the beginning of the War had been. "The Memory Guardian unleashed a shock-wave, uprooting trees and striking everyone down. You were in the air, but I wasn't so lucky. A tree slammed into me, crushing me to the floor." Kazu's eyes shut as he remembered the pressure of the tree pressing on his ribcage, the lack of air in his lungs, the blood filling his mouth. "He arrived, faster then anything I could imagine. Marcus. He lifted up the tree and pulled me out, saving my life." Kazu opened his eyes once more, looking into the Dark Tamer's motionless face. "If I leave him here my debt is unpaid. We may be enemies, he may have killed me once before... But if it weren't for him I would never have made it this far. Both because he pulled me from that tree, and because he forces me to get stronger..." Veemon would nod, he didn't fully understand but if it was a good enough reason for Kazu, it was good enough for him.

Kazu and Veemon would remain silent for a few minutes before Nick spoke up, asking about Lucemon and Yggdrasil. Kazu sighed, he crouched down and hooked Marcus' arm over his shoulders, hoiking him up and onto his back, piggy-back style. "The Lucemon story is a long one. But to make it real simple, Marcus here has some kind of arrangement with the fellow." Kazu began to set off towards the exit once more, "As for Yggdrasil... He's the guy in charge of everything in the Digital World. The creator, deleter and everything in between. If what that Strabimon was saying is true then... We're in very hot water." Kazu's mind flashed back to when Marcus killed him and he met with the reigning lord of the Digital World, and the warning he had been given. "The world is out of balance. And he's trying to see to it that everything returns to Zero..." While Kazu spoke, Veemon motioned to the SnowAgumon. "You gonna be ok? You don't mind Kazu helping out do you?"

Just so you know, you'll probably be despised and hunted because of what you are.
I could careless what other people think, I just want power...
Spoken just like a disciple of wrath and corruption. No wonder they picked you to be their prince of chaos... poetic.
Whatever... are we done here?
All that remains is this....
AAAAAAAhhhhh...

Pain and pressure would screech throughout his body as Marcus slowly began to awake from his flashback of sorts. He would feel as if he were dead, but... he wasn't. Something or maybe someone was keeping him from being removed from the plain of existence, something wanted him to live on.

The pressure would slowly start to vanish as if some external force or forces were removing them from off his body, but the pain and aching would still continue on. His entire body was wracked with it, a feeling that he hadn't felt since before he learned he could use his digisoul as an aura to protect his body, but now... that gift was gone and the void was replaced with the reality of life... being a bad guy usually means a lot of pain. He would feel himself being lifted up, but wouldn't be able to respond with his usual "I don't need help" antics. It was almost as if he were comatized. Outside of the his mental monolouge that was decorated with many flashbacks to try and piece together why all of this was happening, life would continue on as normal... if one would consider this as normal.

"MARCUS, MARCUS!!!" Once all the enemies where vanquished, the dinosaur's rage would end and the realization that her tamer was not with her would come to the forefront. Dropping her axe with a rather audible thud, she would come running towards the tamers that were helping hers. "What... what happened?!" She would notice the rockslide and it would all make sense, she was raging and her tamer was on the verge of being squashed. All her muscles and fiery strength for naught. "Dammit." She would say as she watched the tamers help her tamer, her master, he... friend (?) and would smile. She would look towards Kazu and would shake her head before turning around. She would then be stopped by the boy's [Kazu's] Veemon and asked if she were alright. "I'm fine and I'm sure Marcus will be as well, but as for the digimon that caused this... I'm going to kill them." Her smile would vanish and she would walk to grab her axe. Slinging the massive Battle Axe of Ice and Passion over her shoulder, she would start walking ahead of the group.

"...Then we can be forgiven for the past."

Veemon would grin at the SnowAgumon's response and smack a fist into his opposing palm. "You betcha!" the little Digimon was glad that he was surrounded by allies, the more that there were the better their chance was to survive. Kazu was still plodding along with Marcus on his back, he'd been quiet since picking up the Dark Tamer. Why was he helpin the guy who killed him? Was it really because of him saving him all those years ago? Or something more selfish. "By saving Marcus. Does this make me stronger then him? Am I only doing this to prove that I'm capable or... Can I not imagine a Digital World without Marcus..." that last thought caused a major jolt in Kazu's stomach. He shook his head, refusing to think about the matter any further as he came up on a split path.

After hearing both Nick and Dawn's ideas Kazu sighed. "Nick I respect your choice but think logically. We've seen the Tamers in this tournament. They can all hold their own, I know this, I've fought with loads of them before..." Kazu wanted to scratch the back of his head like he always did, but due to Marcus he couldn't. "If, and that's a BIG if, there are guys down there then having one extra guy to help them wouldn't be such a bad move." Veemon shifted uncomfortably at the suggestion, he didn't want their numbers to drop too much. "Nick, you seem pretty convinced, nothing I can say will change your mind. Dawn, you do what you need to do. As for me? I'm going towards the exit." Kazu would hoist Marcus up on his back and nod at the middle path. "Maybe I can find Lief and the others and figure out this mess. Plus I might get some downtime to deal with Marcus properly."

Veemon would look back to SnowAgumon and c**k his head to one side, "What do you think? Are you aright with leaving the others?" the dragonic Digimon was uneasy to say the least, but Kazu seemed pretty confident so why should he worry. "Ok. I'll go to the exit, Nick you're going right. Dawn, you do what you feel is right. I'll wait at the exit for another 20 minutes, after that I'm leaving whether you make it out or not. You guys understand?" Kazu's voice had taken a more serious tone, the gravity of the situation was beginning to sink in and it meant survival above all else. "After the 20 minutes I'm taking Marcus and making a hell-bent break for it. That's your window, you miss it then you'll have to catch up." Kazu would look around the group, it was time for goodbyes. Possibly only temporary, possibly forever...

"...Then we can be forgiven for the past."

There was tension in the group. Dawn reluctantly agreed to follow Kazu while Nick headed off towards the other side of the Colosseum, SnowAgumon seemed pretty pissed off as well. Kazu sighed and began his trek towards the exit. "Let's get our arses in gear and move." Moving down the corridor with Veemon in tow and Marcus still out cold on his back the V-Tamer trudged onwards.

As they moved down the corridor an explosion of sound would hit Kazu. He tensed, ready to bolt to cover in an instant, Veemon leaping in front of his Tamer instinctively. "Just a roar?" Kazu nodded. Holding his ground for a few more seconds before moving forward once more. A shout from behind him caused him to p***k up his ears. Nick trotted down the corridor after him talking about how he couldn't leave the group to fight a tough sounding baddie by themselves. The V-Tamer sighed, it was indecisions like this that threw him off his stride. Kazu just nodded and kept walking, "Whatever. If there's a monster at the end of this Corridor then we'll just punch through it."

His mind set Kazu looked from Tamer to Tamer, Digimon to Digimon and kept on his path. It looked like he didn't have to wait for the rest of them now. But the roar was unsettling him. It was no longer just loud, it was consistent. His mind flashed between all the giant Digimon that existed in the Digital World that could make that noise. No possibility seemed appealing among the vast amount of monstrous Digimon. If only Marcus were still awake... Kazu shook his head. He shouldn't be thinking this way about his rival, his murderer... His comrade? "Bleh" Kazu spat onto the ground as the last thought passed through his mind. He hated it. Hated admitting it. But Marcus was becoming a comrade in his mind, "Bugger..."
