Powers Released #4:
Life and Water
Mimi was glad Joe didn't get hurt in the last fight. What she saw was amaxing. Tai had summoned fire out of the earth, and Sora had made the wind blow to feed the fire. Joe had been right there to protect her the whole time.
When Mimi thought about it, Joe has grown a lot from his cowardice six years before. Even back then Mimi had liked Joe. He had been there for her when everyone split up and had gone with her to find primary village.
Now they were walking again, trying to get to the castle that had held Matt and Alexis. Mimi thought Alexis and Matt went well together, but she wasn't going to say anything. She was happy the way things were. While they kept walking, Mimi held on to Joe's arm and place her head on his shoulder. She was tired, but she wasn't about to say anything.
Joe looked down and saw Mimi place her head on his shoulder. "Hey Tai, Maybe we should take a break." He suggested.
Tai stopped and looked at everyone. They all looked tired. "Okay, break time." Everyone sighed with relief and found a place to sit. T.K. sat with Kari. Tai sat with Sora. Joe sat with Mimi. Matt and Alexis sat together. They weren't as close to each other like everyone else was, but they looked comfortable.
Alexis place her elbows on her knees and her hands under her chin. Something didn't feel right. She looked over at Mimi and Joe. She knew they liked each other, and they went well together too. She then glanced over at Matt. "Matt?"
He turned to her, "Yeah?"
"I've been thinking. You and I came into our powers at around the same time. Tai and Sora their's together too. Is it just me or is that strange to you?" She asked.
Matt shrugged, "I don't get it all myself, but I'm just glad we have them in the first place. Without our digimon frinds here, we're vulnerable."
"Yeah, I guess so." She replied.
Mimi was resting her head on Joe's shoulder again. He's always there when I need him. She thought. Now that's what I call reliability.
Joe could feel Mimi's warmth transfer to him. She's always thinking about others, in one way or another. He thought. That's why I like her. She's always so sincere.
Mimi was interrupted in her thoughts when she heard something. It sounded like a rumbling.
"Mimi are you hungry?" Joe asked. "I thought I heard your stomach growling."
Mimi shook her head. "That wasn't me." Mimi got up. "Do you guys hear that?" She said.
Alexis got up and listened. "It's a tunneling sound." She replied. She bent down and placed her ear to the ground. Suddenly, the ground started to shake. Alexis pulled her ear up when something came out of the ground. She screamed and was pushed up on top of whatever it was.
Everyone scrambled away from the center and looked up in horror. It kept rising until it was totally exposed.
"What is that!" Kari screamed.
"It looks like a giant turtle. Could it be shellmon!" Mimi yelled.
"No it isn't! It's shell is different." Matt yelled. The shell was different. It wasn't spiky, it was bumpy. The color of the creature was a deep blue. "It's Tortomon!"
It roared and exposed it's head. Alexis was screaming and haging on for dear life.
"Hang on!" T.K. yelled. T.K. looked around for something to use but nothing was in sight.
Matt came running besides him. "Alexis!" He yelled.
"Matt!! Help me!!" She screamed. Matt closed his eyes and concentrated. If he could bring back his powers again, he could freeze that monster and get Alexis down. He felt his crest warm up and could feel the energy inside him increase. "May the power of Ice be released!" He threw his hand forward towards the digimon and a stream of ice headed for the creature. Tortomon simply retracted his head. The blast hit his shell and fizzeled out.
"What!" Matt exclaimed.
"His shell is protecting him!" Sora yelled. It exposed his head again and turned towards Sora. "Uh,Oh!" She yelled.
Tai saw the danger coming and was prepared. "May the power of fire be release!" He yelled. Fire erupted out of the ground and Tortismon again retracted his head. Tai didn't give up. He kept at it till Tortomon shook with rage and Alexis was thrown off.
"AAAAAhhhhh!!!" She went flying. Matt jumped and caught her.
"Gotcha!" He said.
"Woah." She replied. "I don't want to do that again."
He smiled and put her on her feet. "Come on!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
Tortomon was cooked, but not fried. He came out and fired a blast in all directions, "Torto Grenades!" He yelled. Each bomb landed and exploded. All the digidestined were thrown to the ground.
Mimi got up. "Ok, that does it!" She walked up to the monster's head. "Hey, you! You had better leave my friends alone, or you're gonna be sorry!" Tortismon simply laughed and raised his leg to crush her.
Mimi closed her eyes and thought of all the others. She didn't want them to be hurt. Especially Joe. She couldn't live if she knew he wasn't there. She felt the plants around her seem to call her name. They were ready to fight at her command.
"Sincerity is a trait
That grows inside my heart
May the power of Flora be released!"
She pointed to some bushes and directed them towards Tortomon's leg. Vines came out and wrapped themselves around his leg. He couldn't bring it down on top of her. She commanded more vines to wrap around his other legs and head. He tried to move, but couldn't.
"Mimi!" She heard Joe yelling! "Get out of there!"
She shook her head. "I have to get him out of his shell! He'll be vulnerable then!"
She had all she needed, now she mentally said pull! The vines pulled at his arms, legs and head. Tortomon screamed in agony as his body was being ripped from it's home. He looked down and saw the girl. "Torto Granades!" A bomb was thrown and fell right in front of Mimi.
She was thrown back into the bushes.
"Mimi!" Joe said. "T.K.! Go to Mimi. I'll finish this." T.K. nodded and went over to help Mimi up. She wasn't hurt just a litle dazed. Joe turned to Tortomon. The vines were still holding him frozen, but they wouldn't hold for long. They nedded to be bigger. Joe looked back over at Mimi. She was watching him. He looked into her eyes and saw hope. She was relying on him to save them all. And he wasn't going to let her down.
Joe felt his crest get warm and looked up at Tortomon.
"Reliability ensures all
Like the water ensure life
May the power of water be released!"
Out of Joe's hand came a stream of water. It hit Tortomon and he tried to retracted his head. But that's not what Joe wanted. He fed the water blasts to the vines that held him. The water made them grow and grow until they were strong enough to finish the job. They ripped Tortomon out of his shell and he screamed. Without his shell, he was nothing.
"May the power of fire be released!" Tai said. This time fire came out of the ground and fried Tortomon. He was nothing but ashes. With all his energy got, Tai collasped. Sora ran to his side, "Tai! Are you Ok?"
He smiled, "Yeah, just did that fire thing too much."
Sora nodded, "Matt help me get him out of here. We have to keep moving."
Matt nodded and went over to help Sora. He went under Tai's arm and heaved him up. Sora was under the other arm.
Joe was over by Mimi holding her. She was a little shaken up, but OK. Alexis was there too. She knew it couldn't be a coincidence that both Mimi and Joe did their powers together. There was something she wasn't seeing. What was it!
They all got up and went to the end of the forest. What they saw was amazing. The castle was about two miles away and there were guards galore. "I guess he's taken some precautions since Matt and I escaped." Alexis said.
"We have no choice. We have to get over there." Sora said.
"Maybe we should wait till tomorrow. Then Tai will be better and we can all fight." Matt suggested. Sora nodded and they hunkered down for the night.
In his castle, Apoclymon had been watching the little brats come into their powers. It was incredable. But they were still not a match for him. Only their digimon had been able to stop him. And even if they got to his castle, his guards will take care of them.
When everyone had eaten and went to sleep. Alexis looked up at the sky. She wondered if she would ever get home. What about this new enemy. Would she survive? What about Matt? If he were hurt, she couldn't live with herself. She liked him, but he was never that fond of anyone. Alexis soon went to sleep, unaware that someone was watching her.
I think I like her. Matt said. But that's just my head talking. It's probably just because we've saved each other's lives a couple times. What will tomorrow bring?
