Powers Released #3:
Fire and Wind
Tai and the others were walking in the direction of the castle, in which Matt and Alexis had been held prisoner, when he decided that they needed to turn in for the night.
Tai sat and thought to himself. He couldn't believe what Matt had said happend at the castle. He had release the power over Ice. Alexis had done the same and made an earthquake to made the earth split open and their captor, Cyclomon fell through. Did he have the power within him? He wasn't sure. Yeah, he put on a strong face to the others, but inside he was just as scared as any of them.
Tai was interupted in his thoughts when Alexis came and sat next to him. She handed him a platter. "Thought you might be hungry." She said. He smiled and took the meal. Matt had cooked the fish that they had found and that meant it was edible. Whenever Tai cooked it wasn't as good. By far.
He looked up at Alexis, "These dreams you have, do they tell you our thoughts?" He asked.
She turned to him, "If they are right, I know everything about you." She replied.
That made him feel very uneasy. "What do you know about me?" He asked.
"Do you really want to know?" She asked. Tai nodded and she looked around to see no one was within hearing distance. She then turned back to him. "I know what you're really feeling. You're scared, just like anyone in your position. You feel the lives of this group are your responsability alone."
When she said that Tai almost choked on his meal.
"But you're wrong. You lead them, but everyone is responsable for everyone else." She added.
"I just don't see why I have to be the leader." He said.
"Because it's what your destined to be. You were born for it. In soccer and in the digiworld. You have to show control, so the rest can overcome their fear."
Tai heard these words he finally understood. But one other thing bothered him. "What about love?"
Alexis smiled. "You like the Guardian of Love, and she loves you. You're meant to be together. Just have to have courage and tell her."
Tai could feel joy reach his soul. Sora liked him! But could he tell her? He looked over at Alexis and she winked. She got up and walked over to the fire. Tai took a big breath and slowly let it out. He got up and walked over to Sora. "Sora can I talk to you?" Sora nodded and they walked into the woods.
"What is it, Tai?" She asked.
"Sora I've known you for a long time and I didn't have the courage to tell you this before, but..."
"But what?"
"I love you, Sora." He said.
She smiled and leaned in to kiss him. He felt fire burning within him at her touch. When she pulled away she whispered in his ear. "I love you too, Tai."
Back at camp, nearly everyone was alsleep. Matt had first watch and was quietly played his harmonica. Alexis couldn't sleep so she went over to talk to him. "I always heard your music, but it's much better in person."
Matt stopped playing and looked up.
"May I sit down?" She asked. He nodded and she plopped herself next to him. "I want to thank you. For what you did at the castle."
"It was nothing. I couldn't just leave you there." Matt replied and turned away blushing.
"Well, thank you Guardian of Friendship." She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. He turned in surprise. She then just got up and went back to her spot.
He watched her go when she froze. He got up in concern and went over to her. "What's the mat..."She raised her hand.
"Shhhh. Listen." He looked around and listened. All he could hear was branches breaking. They were back. The Woodmon were surrounding them.
"Get everyone awake." He instructed her in a whisper. She nodded and went over to Mimi and Joe who were lying together to keep warm. She shook them and quietly told them what was going one. They got up and gathered their things.
Matt went and woke up T.K. and Kari and they got their things together.
Alexis was about to go get Tai and Sora when she felt a vine grab her wrist. She screamed and it got everyones attention. Matt looked over and started runnning towards her.
Tai and Sora had heard her scream and came out of the bushes. They were shocked to find a dozen woodmon surrounding their camp. "Come on." Tai said grabbing Sora's arm and running to the others.
Matt reached Alexis and busted out with his knife. He grabbed the vine and slashed it. It broke and he pulled Alexis away. The others were as far away from the Woodmon as they could. Tai came and took front position. Sora by his side.
"We can't fight this many!" Mimi yelled. She was clutching Joe's arm. Tai didn't know what to do. With so many enemies, and without thier digimon, how were they supposed to fight?
"Remember your courage!" He heard Alexis yell. "The power will be released!"
Tai immediatly knew what she meant. The Woodmon leader was advancing, "I do hope you don't become too much of a nuisance." It said.
"You will not come any closer or face the consequeses." Tai warned. The leader paid no heed and continued to come forward. Tai closed his eyes and felt his courage grow within him. He would let no harm come to Sora, his true love.
"My courage is a flame
That burns inside my soul
May the power of fire be released!"
Tai raised his hands and fire spurts came out of the ground under their leader. He caught flame and started to burn. "You!!!" It yelled. It reached one of it's branches aside and swatted Tai over everyone's head and slammed him into a tree.
"Nooo!!" Sora yelled. "You went over the line buster!"
"That's right Sora you tell him!" T.K. yelled. Kari ran over to Tai to see if he was OK. He was unconscious so she stayed with him.
Sora looked at her love. She finally found out that the one she loved for so long, loved her back. And now it was about to end. Sora watched as the leader tried to put out the flames. Sora would fight for the one she loved. She then felt her crest start to glow. "Nobody harms the ones I love." She whispered.
"My love sustains all
Such as air sustains life
May the power of wind be released!"
Sora felt the wind around her increase volocity. She directed it at the Woodmon. The flames on the leader grew and engulfed him. He screamed, but she kept at it. Soon pieces of him flew off and caught the other woodmon on fire. The wind grew so strong, the flames ate all the woodmon, until they were nothing but piles of ashes.
Sora ran to Tai's side and steadied him against a tree. "Tai are you Ok?"
He opened his eyes and said, "I want to ride the pony, mommy." Sora smiled and kissed him. He looked at her and smiled, "Thanks Sora."
The next morning they were one the move, again.
"So what happened to you Sora?" Kari asked.
Sora smiled and said, "I knew I had to protect you guys, since Tai was out. And I didn't intend for that woodmon to get a hold of Tai. Now that I know the truth."
Kari had a confused look on her face. "The truth?"
"Tai and I are meant to be together. And I will never let us be apart." Sora replied and went next to walk next to Tai. She grabbed his hand and together they led the rest towards the castle.
