So now the gang's in the Digital World. What's going to happen now? That's a good question isn't it? Well it's time to read to find out the answer.

Chapter 7

Powers

Sora got up from the stack of digidestend and looked around. They landed in front of a vast lake. She smiled, noticing where they were. The others got up and Tai walked to where Sora was. Sora looked up into his eyes and saw...nothing. Without Mimi in his life, Tai became an empty shell. All his happiness left when Mimi was taken from him. I know how you feel, Tai. The day of Matt's concert, I thought everything I hoped for was lost whenRachel walked out on the stage. Even when I thought I had Matt understood, he pulls something like that. I don't know what to say but...I'm sooo Sorry. Sora thought. She turned around and looked at the others. Matt noticed that she avoided him and looked down at the grass. I'm so stupid. I can't believe I hurt someone that I love. I can't believe I hurt Sora. Now she won't even look at me. Matt thought. Ice surrounded the grass around his feet and started to spread. T.K looked at the floor and gasped. "Where did the ice come from?" T.K asked moving away from it. Everyone looked to see what T.K was talking about. Joe followed it and saw that it was coming from Matt.

"Matt?" Kari asked. Matt lifted his head and looked at Kari.

"What's up?"

"Look." Izzy said, pointed to the ice at his feet and Matt looked down.

"How did that happen?" Matt asked shocked.

"It's pretty simple if you understand." said a voice from behind them. Matt turned around and saw Gennai walking towards them. "Long time digidestend. My, have you all grown." He looked at all of them and noticed that one was missing. "Where's Mimi?" Gennai asked. The gang looked at Tai and saw that his head was slowly going down. As if reading their mind, Gennai nodded in understandment.

"I see. Well, if you want to find out what just happened with Matt and the ice, lets go to my place." Gennai lead the way to his house that was located under the water.

Gennai's house...

The gang sat in the living room waiting till Gennai came back from the back room. Tai sat between Sora and Kari in utter silence. It was like he lost his voice from all his crying. I let Mimi down. I told her that I would always protect her from anything! But I didn't. I let some bastard take her right in front of me! It's my entire fault if something happens to her. Tai thought as he looked at the curtains that hanged in the doorway to the kitchen. Without warning, the curtains caught on fire. Joe quickly stood up and the others followed. "How in the world did that happen?" Joe asked, pointing to the curtains.

"Don't ask me!" Izzy yelled.

"Somebody do something instead of just standing there like an idiot!" T.K yelled, knowing that nobody was going to move.

"How in the digital world are we going to do that, T.K?" Kari asked him.

"Well at less Joe is next to a bird bath. Joe! The bird bath!" Matt told him. Joe mentally slapped himself and moved to it. Right before he touched it, the water came out and burned out the fire. Joe starred at it with widen eyes. Gennai walked in with a book in his hands and saw all of their faces.

"What happened...my curtains! Oh well, I was going to through them out. Did Tai do this?" Gennai asked. Kari looked at him.

"What? Tai couldn't have done that. He was sitting next to me and Sora when it happened." Kari told him. Gennai shook his head.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, Kari. But Tai did do it. Just like Matt made that sheet of ice and how Joe used the water to take out the fire." Joe slowly turned his head to face Gennai.

"I did that?" Joe asked and watched as the old man nodded his head.

"Sit, sit. I think it's time for me to tell you about your powers."

"Powers?" everyone said in unison.

"Yes. Powers. I'm sorry about this Tai but this has something to do to why Mimi was taken. As you must have heard, there is a place that is called The Land of Despair. Izzy, I know that you looked everywhere in the Digital World in search for this place but it didn't show up. That's because it's located in the Dark World. Now the person, or shall I say digimon, that took Mimi is located in The Land of Despair. Her name is Lonemon. She feeds off of loneliness and sadness. Okay onwards to your powers. We'll talk about her and the place later. As you just witness with Tai, Matt, and Joe, you all have your own powers similar to your digimon. Tai, you have the power over fire; Sora, you have the power over storms and over air; Kari, you have the power over lighting; T.K, you have the power over thunder; Izzy, you have the power over electricity; and finally, Joe, you have the power over water. I know that Mimi's not hear but when you find her, tell her that she have the power over plants. I know what you're thing, children. How on earth did you get these powers? Well, since you are connected to your digimon partners, part of their powers lies inside of you. Just like part of you are inside them. Your powers are affected by your emotions. So be careful." Gennai explained. They were all speechless. Powers?

"But why Mimi? Gennai...why did they have to take her?" Tai finally said since they got here.

"...She's the key to the threat's plans." Tai looked at Gennai and shook his head. This was only the beginning.

The key? Mimi's the key? I don't believe it! Poor, poor Tai TT. I think that this chapter was much better than the last one. You guys know what to do if you want more.
