Part XXI: The Power of the Crests
He'd done all that he could possibly do. There was nothing more that Matt could think of doing, but looking into Xi-Mae's eyes he found the hope that he was searching for.
"Matt, look at me. We both know that we can do this right? You have to trust me. You do trust me, don't you?" Her eyes were glazed over with a film of tears and were so wide and innocent that he felt like he couldn't trust anyone else. He thought about the amount of times that he had said the same words to her, and how she had always trusted him in the same circumstances.
"Sure I trust you. You know that."
"Then be more positive!" His head snapped up then, as he thought about the things that he had gone through in the past. The many battles that he had fought with his friends, and wondered how he had managed to do all of that without Xi-Mae. She was the best thing that had ever happened in his life and he couldn't let her down now. Not at this crucial moment.
"I will. For you. I believe in us!" He shouted out the last words and shut his eyes. When he opened them a blue glow was coming from under his shirt. His crest was glowing.
"Matt, what's going on?!" Xi-Mae was staring at the blue light coming from his crest of Friendship, and then looked down at her own crest of Peace. She gasped inwardly as it began to glow too. "Oh my …"
Matt watched the glowing crests as the light became brighter and brighter. Then the tags and crests began to float their way up and out from under their shirts so that they ended up floating in front of them.
"Whoa." Matt said as he looked at the two levitating blobs of blue light. His and Xi-Mae's hands were still locked together and were still emitting the blue beam, and EvilDevimon was still laughing off the blasts with his force field. Suddenly the crests glowed brighter than ever before and shot their own beam of light directly at the pair of clasped hands in front of them. Matt and Xi-Mae both felt a jolt of power and then the ray of light from their hands was renewed with this extra energy, sending out a bigger and more powerful blast. They were knocked backwards with the force of this mysterious energy as it surged out from their fingers and towards EvilDevimon, who by now was destroying the landscape around them.
"That thing can't destroy me!" He shouted at them just before the new beam hit his force field. The barrier held up for a while, but with an extra push of positive energy from Matt and Xi-Mae that shield fell to pieces like glass being smashed, allowing the beam to get through and make contact with EvilDevimon.
"Not again!!!" He screeched as the hole opened up through his center again, he flickered once more and then exploded into a million digital bytes right before their eyes. The two kids on the sand fell backwards onto their backs and their hands fell apart onto the desert below. The blue beam was broken at the moment their fingers became detached and the crests fell back down onto their chests, then they just got up and looked at each other while taking it all in.
"We did it." Xi-Mae managed to say. "We actually did it."
"I know. You were great." He replied to her beautiful face. She really did look beautiful now, there was this kinda glow all around her. He loved her so much, with all his heart, she was so brave to go through this for the first time with just him to guide her.
"You weren't that bad yourself!" She lent forward and flung her arms around him, he gave in and let her hug him as tight as she could until she pulled away and slowly got up to brush herself down. He got up as well and looked around him. It was total devastation. The ground all around them was scorched with the blasts that EvilDevimon sent at them, but where they were standing was a circle of untouched desert sand.
"Xi-Mae, I think we should go home now." He gazed at the horizon where the sun was getting lower in the sky. "It's getting kinda late. Our parents'll be worried." It was then that he remembered Gabumon and Kyomon who were sitting on the ground tending to their own wounds. Xi-Mae bent down and talked to Kyomon.
"Are you strong enough to use your 'healing beam' on yourself and Gabumon?" Kyomon straightened up.
"I think so, I'll just have to try it and see." She spread her wings and shouted, "Healing beam!" The blast of pale blue light came from her palms again and coursed over Gabumon in front of her. When she drew the light back inside herself, Gabumon was completely healed and so was she. Matt grabbed hold of Xi-Mae's hand and led them all to the nearest Digiport, which was only a mile away following the Digivice's signal. As the sun was gradually getting lower over the skyline they finally entered the small TV screen and were sucked back trough into their own world once again.
To be continued …
There, on to the next chapter we go……. I just wanna get this done!!!
So, read and review!! U all know what to do….
Till next time – Phoenix ^_^
