Birthday Surprises by Dera
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt was standing under the balcony weaving crepe paper through the railings with a pleasant smile on his face.
"Catch!" someone yelled out suddenly..
Matt looked up just in time to catch the roll of white crepe paper before it hit him, causing him to let go of the roll he had been using.
"Hey!" Matt glared up at Tai after he watched the roll he had been using bounce on the floor below.
Tai ignored the glare as he grinned down at him. "Don't forget, you are supposed to be using three colors Matt, not two."
"I remembered," Matt called as he leaned over to retrieve the fallen paper. Thankfully, it hadn't ripped. "Do you think she'll be surprised?"
"Definitely" said Tai with a knowing grin.
Matt silently hoped that Tai was right. Sora was important to him. Ever since he and Tai had protected her from Sprimon in the Digiworld he'd made sure to show her how much he loved her.
"Matt honey!" called Mrs. Ishada, who'd recently gotten back together with her husband. "Your father and I are going out now. We'll be back soon!"
"Ok Mom!" called Matt before the front door was heard shutting.
"It's pretty fantastic that your parent's got back together, Matt," commented Izzy from the other side of the room.
Matt looked over at Izzy who was sitting on the sofa blowing up balloons and then at Tk, who was sitting on the floor next to him an agreeing grin on his face.
"Yeah! Ever since we got back Mom and Dad have been together!" he chirped and looked at the red balloon in his hands.
Joe came into the room several minutes later with a tray of sandwiches and sodas.
"Mimi called a few minutes ago. She and Sora are at the mall now," he reported setting the tray down.
The four others came over to the tray and took a sandwich.
"At least Mimi is having fun with her job," said Tai with a smile between bites.
"I know," agreed Matt with a nod. "I had no idea decorating could be so hard."
As one they all looked out at the halfway completed room. Tai had almost finished lacing the ceiling with the crepe paper and Matt was almost done with the stairway to the balcony above. Tk had almost tied all the balloons in multicolored groups of three and Izzy had a small matter of blowing up one more dozen of balloons.
"At least it's almost done," said Tk cheerfully.
While the four boys were talking and eating Joe picked up several bundles of balloons and began to tie them to the railing.
"This is going to look really nice," he commented to himself with a satisfied nod.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Sora!" exclaimed Mimi excitedly as she pointed at a store window.
"We need to go in there!"
Sora smiled patiently at her friend, "Haven't we been in enough clothing stores today?"
Mimi looked at her friend in surprise, "Sora...."
"Never mind," laughed Sora, shaking her head. "Let's go in."
Mimi giggled and dragged Sora into the store before disappearing into the jungle of cloths racks. Sora walked over to a group of chairs and sat down with a tired sigh. Three hours of straight shopping, and Mimi was still at it.
"I wish Matt were here," she murmured closing her eyes wistfully.
"Excuse me," said a sales clerk coming over to her with a soft smile. "Do you know anything about computers?"
Sora blinked in momentary surprise and then nodded, "I know a little."
The woman looked relieved as Sora stood to her feet and followed the woman to the cashier's desk.
"You see my screen is acting really funny and I can't fix it," she explained as Sora looked at the computer screen.
Sora stepped over to it in surprise, watching as numbers ran over it in a rapid fashion. Suddenly a hand shot out from the screen and caught hold of her shirt front. The sales clerk and Sora screamed as she felt herself yanked forward and into the screen. A moment later, everything went dark.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izzy flung open his laptop and began to type furiously on it while his friends watched him in worry.
"From what I can tell, Sora was taken to the Digiworld," said Izzy, his eyes filled with concern.
"Can we go after her?" asked Tai leaning over Izzy's shoulder to look at his screen.
"Possibly," said Izzy his brow wrinkled in concentration.
Suddenly the screen blinked and an image of Gennai appeared.
"Hello children," he greeted as if he saw them all the time.
"Gennai! Do you know where Sora might be?" asked Matt quickly, leaning over Izzy's shoulder.
"I'm afraid so. I believe Sora has been taken to Chaosimon's kingdom below the digiworld," said Gennai loosing all signs of cheer.
Tai and Matt looked at each other in worry. The last time they'd heard about Chaosimon, Sora had been attacked by Sprimon. They hadn't thought about the Digimon since then, though now they wished they had.
"Do you know of a way for us to come back to the Digiworld to save her?" asked Izzy.
"Yes, I do," affirmed Gennai. "But only one of you will be able to come here."
"Why?" asked Mimi in surprise.
"The gateway can only take one more person going through it from the outside," said Gennai with a frown. "It would be dangerous for more than one of you to return right now."
"I'll go." Matt put in before any one could say a word.
"Are you sure, Matt?" asked Tai in concern, studying Matt carefully.
"I'm sure. I promised Sora I would protect her," said Matt, not disguising the guilt in his eyes.
Tai looked ready to object but Matt looked at him pleadingly and Tai sighed in surrender.
"Any objections?" he asked his friends, almost hoping that one of them would object.
No one said a word and Tai nodded resolutely, "It's decided then. What do we do to send Matt over?"
"Have Matt place a hand on the screen," instructed Gennai. "And I'll handle the rest."
Matt smiled at his friends, "Make sure the party is ready. I should have Sora back in no time!"
Tk hugged his brother, "I'll tell Mom and dad you'll be home soon."
Matt walked over to the screen and without hesitation placed his hand on the screen.
"Be careful Matt," said Mimi sincerely.
"Yeah," seconded Joe. "Don't get hurt."
"We're all rooting for you," said Tai patting Matt on the back before stepping back.
"Ok Izzy, when I tell you, I want you to press the enter key," said Gennai as his image disappeared and was replaced by an image of the digiworld.
"Understood."
"Ready Matt?" asked Gennai's voice.
"Ready," said Matt his mind on Sora's safety.
"Ok Izzy, hit enter NOW!"
Everyone's eyes widened as the screen burst into light over Matt before blinding them. Tai was the first to open his eyes and lower his hand and all he looked at the image of Matt on the screen before it blinked off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt's eyes were full of excitement as he sped over the ground of the Digiworld, seeing the landmarks that he had known so well when he'd last been in the digital world. His eyes caught sight of a dark mist coming towards him and he felt his stomach drop. The sphere that was carrying him started to veer off towards the left, but the mist followed and soon intersected.
The sphere surrounding Matt vanished and he found himself suspended within darkness.
"So you are the Guardian," hissed a voice behind him.
Matt turned his head to see nothing and looked around himself.
"Who's there?"
"I am Chaosimon," hissed the voice as a shadowy figure appeared just beyond his reach.
Matt's eyes flashed in anger as he attempted to move forward, only to find himself unable to move.
"What have you done with Sora?" he demanded fiercely.
"Sora..." murmured Chaosimon and the chuckled. "Oh yes. The Keeper is in my dungeon where she can do no harm."
"Why did you take her?" asked Matt, angry that he couldn't go after the offending Digimon.
"The same reason I have taken you," said Chaosimon with a laugh that chilled Matt's blood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora awoke slowly and placed a hand on her forehead.
"Boy my head hurts," she grumbled, sitting up.
"Good morning!" chirped a voice off in the darkness. "I am glad you are awake."
Sora's heart jumped into high gear and she looked around frantically.
"You're in Chaosimon's dungeons," informed the voice matter-of-factly. "He put up in here a few hours ago. He must be afraid of the prophecy if he brought you here."
"Who are you?" asked Sora in confusion, unable to see the person speaking the dim lighting of the room she was in.
A small form, about the size of a fist, flew over to Sora's side and smiled kindly, "I am Fairimon."
"You're pretty small," observed Sora in surprise.
Fairimon scratched her head with a frown, "I was once bigger than you Chaosimon did something to me that made me smaller and minimized my powers."
"I'm sorry," said Sora sympathetically before her eyes brows rose questioningly, "you said something about a prophecy?"
"You've never heard of the Prophecy of the Guardian and Keeper?" said Fairimon in shock.
"No, not ever," said Sora, shaking her head.
Fairimon circled in the air a moment, her eyes closed in thought before she looked at Sora again with a grim face.
"We originally came from the Digiworld, but traveled down below it many thousands of years ago to create the Digi-Sprite Kingdom, or what we call the Spri-Kingdom, for our particular brand of Digimon. We were very prosperous and made many mystical devices for the upper-world Digimon. However, Chaosimon appeared and conquered us. He enslaved the Sprimon, Pixiemon, Elvenmon, Fairimon, Nymphmon, and other enchanted digimon down here and imprisoned anyone that stood in his way."
"Are you one of the ones..."
"Yes, I once cared for the flora of the Spri-Kingdom and when Chaosimon appeared I apposed him. We battled and I lost and was shrunken down to my current status." Fairimon sighed sadly and Sora gently took the small Digimon in her hands.
Fairimon looked at her with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry. I have not completely explained to you the prophecy."
She made herself comfortable in Sora's hands and looked up at Sora with firm resolve.
"When the first minor kingdom of the Elvenmons fell, a very powerful Wizardmon was brought before Chaosimon to be deleted for opposing him. Before he died Wizardmon prophesied that Chaosimon's rule would end when the Guardian and the Keeper would come. The Guardian would carry a mighty sword and the Keeper would carry a bow and three swift arrows of power. Two shadows would follow them into the Spri-Kingdom and together would defeat Chaosimon."
"So how do I fit into this?" asked Sora, although she had a feeling of what her answer would be.
"One way for us to know who the Keeper and Guardian were was by the fact that they held the powers of Love and Friendship. Even we knew of the Digi-destined down here," said Fairimon smiling. "And you are the Keeper!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Gennai, is there any word from Matt?" asked Tai facing the old man on the lap top screen.
"I'm afraid not, Tai," said Gennai apologetically. "Matt was intercepted halfway here and I fear that he was captured by Chaosimon."
"Oh no!" gasped Mimi, her eyes wide with fear.
"Don't worry too much," said Gennai quickly. "I've sent Garurumon and Birdramon down to the Spri-Kingdom. They should be able to find Matt and Sora and bring them back safely."
"Gennai, do you have any idea of why he took Sora in the first place?" asked Izzy who'd been trying to find a logical answer to the question.
"As a matter of fact I have," said Gennai with a laugh. "I'm glad you reminded me!"
Joe sighed and pushed his glasses up on his nose.
"Some things never change," he murmured.
Kari giggled beside him only to be quieted by her brother's firm look.
"Apparently Sora is part of a prophecy to destroy Chaosimon," said Gennai, unaware of the teens behind Tai and Izzy. "And apparently, so is Matt."
"So he kidnapped Sora to bring Matt into the Digiworld and capture him too!" growled Tai, slamming a fist down on the computer table.
Mimi laid a hand on his shoulder and he sighed.
"Have faith in them. I'm sure that they will be able to get out of this mess," assured Gennai.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fairimon giggled at Sora's joke and then tensed.
"What is it?" asked Sora, looking around.
"Chaosimon is coming. I have to go back into my cell, but I'll be back," said Fairimon quickly as she shot up into the air and then flew off into the left section of the room.
Sora looked at the door and then shielded her eyes as the door was flung open, blinding her momentarily from the light outside. Someone was thrown in followed by Chaosimon appearing in the doorway with an evil smile on his ugly, one-eyed, blue face.
"With you both in here I can begin to take over the Digiworld," he laughed, his red eye gleaming at Sora and then at the person who was against the wall and standing up slowly.
"You won't win Chaosimon," promised a voice that could only be Matt's. "Sora and I have friends like us that can defeat you."
"Not likely. If they're like you they'll be caught easily as well," replied Chaosimon with a sneer.
The door slammed shut and Sora quickly moved to Matt in the darkness and embraced him.
"Who..."
"Matt it's me!" said Sora, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Sora!" gasped Matt, his arm's wrapping around her supportively. "Are you all right?"
"I'm ok," said Sora, smiling up at him as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Matt gently kissed her forehead, "I'm glad."
"So am I!" chirped Fairimon flying over to confront them.
"Who's she?" asked Matt looking from Fairimon to Sora in surprise.
"That's Fairimon. She was thrown into the dungeons for going against Chaosimon,"
introduced Sora, holding out a hand for the small digimon to land on.
"It's good to see the Keeper and Guardian together," said Fairimon with an odd glint in her eyes. "Now we need the weapons and the Shadows."
"Shadows?" echoed Matt looking at Sora and inwardly questioning the sanity of the tiny Digimon.
"The Shadow of the Guardian with the power of ice and the Shadow of the Keeper with the power of fire," said Fairimon impatiently fluttering up into the air and beginning to glow.
"Fairimon, why are you glowing?" asked Sora in alarm.
"I am also part of the prophecy," said Fairimon lightly moving away from the pair a small distance. "I told you you would have weapons, but that would be after a Fairimon unlocked them from within."
"What?" asked Matt and began to squint as Fairimon glowed brighter.
"I am sorry Keeper, but this is good-bye. I am happy to have known you," said Fairimon before she threw out her hands and shot out two beams of light. "Breath of Light!"
Matt and Sora screamed out as they were struck by the beams and then everything went dark.
