Do You Know How I Feel: Part 13(End)
Myotismon's P.O.V.*@----}----(----@*
I heard someone yell Demonomon. I assume that it was Izzy, but I'm not sure. I failed. I failed to protect the one I love. I'm so completely useless. I mean, I tried and I failed. I thought that my existence was to live for Mimi. And I still believe so too. But now I know that I'm so useless that I can't even succeed in my lifetime purpose. Also, I find out that I love her so much, but she likes that little punk, Matt. How much worse can this get? Oops, I hope I didn't jinx it.
I heard Agumon digivolve to Metalgreymon, Gabumon digivolved to Weregarurumon, Gomamon digivolved Zudomon, Tentomon digivolved to MegaKabuterimon, Biyomon digivolved to Garudamon, Patamon digivolved to Angemon and Gatomon, my former servant, digivolved to Angewomon.
I know that they can't beat Demonomon. Even in their ultimate forms. One by one, I heard them scream in pain and fall onto the ground. Right after, their digidestined would run over to them and yell their name. Everytime, they de-digivolved back to their in-training forms.
I wish I can help, but I know that I don't have enough strength. Please give me some power, Mimi....
Then I heard Demonomon's evil laughter. Then he said, "You actually thought that you can beat me with your measly little digimon? Get a grip! I'm the Ruler of Darkness. And you think that a few useless ultimates can beat me? In your dreams! Truthfully, I've never seen more useless ultimates. " He laughed a little before continuing. "I don't understand how anyone can lose to you losers! I mean, even with Myotismon, one of my most powerful servants, you can't beat me. This is just plain pitiful."
He just called the digidestined losers. That means that he called Mimi a loser! If only I could do something! I felt my face becoming wet. I opened my eyes and saw that Mimi was crying. Once again, I hated seeing her cry. My heart was completely angry now, at Demonomon. But I can't do anything.
I closed my eyes again but then I felt a warm beam, like sunlight, something I haven't seen in a long time. I slightly opened my eyes but they were forced to shut when they saw a bright green glow. GREEN? I opened my eyes again and kept them open this time. The glow was surrounding Mimi, Palmon, and me. I realized that it was coming out from her crest.
Just then I felt a bolt of energy boil through my blood. It was helping me recover. Then I heard Palmon warp digivolve into Rosemon. She looked completely stunning. I felt myself beginning to rise and I opened my eyes. I was floating in mid-air when I opened my eyes.
The digidestined were staring up at me. I was wondering why when I realized that I was glowing white. My thoughts were interrupted when a scream came from Rosemon as one of Demonomon's attacks hit her. I know that she probably won't be able to hold on much longer. That means that she can't protect Mimi or anyone else! I had to think of something. It was then I shouted out the words...
"Myotismon digivolve to... HolyMyotismon!" (AN: OKAY OKAY! I know I suck at names! Stop with the rotten vegetables already!) With that, my cape turned bright white, my golden hair hung loose, my mask and fangs disappeared, my suit turned into an armor and a staff appeared in my hand.
Everyone including me were surprised. Who could've thought that I can digivolve into something good?! I always thought that VenomMyotismon was my next step. But I guess it really depends on why you digivolve. And this time, it's for the better. I had to protect Mimi.
You know, I just realized something. I digivolved twice, and both times it's because of Mimi. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Rosemon scream for help. I looked over to her and realized that Demonomon has grabbed her by the arm and was swinging her in circles. When he finally let go, she came flying towards me. With all my might, I caught her and managed not to crash into anything. She thanked me and flew beside. Then I thought I saw Demonomon frown at the sight of two mega digimon against him.
He shouted out for a portal and one appeared beside him. I had a terrible feeling about this. And my feeling came true. For from the portal, the four Dark Masters stepped out. Piedmon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, and Metal Seadramon all chuckled as they stared at us. It's impossible, two mega forms can't fight five megas.
Something came to me. I know that if I do this, then I'll lose all my strength, but I have to do this. I know, it's the only way...
Mimi's P.O.V. *@----}----{----@*
Okay, we're all officially freaked out now... I mean, all the dark masters AND that freaky guy, digimon, whatever! What are we going to do? We're all just standing here right now and HolyMyotismon is just standing there. What are we going to do?
I broke into tears as Matt held me in his arms and Sora was doing the same with Tai. I soaked his shirt when I saw something which blind my eyes. There was a light shot out to all the digimon from HolyMyotismon's staff! Then one by one, they began to heal...
"Koromon Warp-digivolve to... WarGreymon!"
"Tsunomon Warp-digivolve to... MetalGarurumon!"
"Yokomon Warp-digivolve to... Phoenixmon!"
"Bukamon Warp-digivolve to... Marine Angemon!"
"Motimon Warp-digivolve to... Hercules Kabuterimon!"
"Tokomon digivolve to... Magna Angemon!"
"Nyaromon digivolve to... Angewomon!"
Maybe now we'll have some hope... I looked up and smiled at HolyMyotismon. He seemed to have saved us all. At least that's what I believe. He replied with a weak smile as everyone went to war. Then HolyMyotismon began falling from the sky, fast. Then I heard Demonomon yell, "FOOL! You'd rather give up your life to help these useless, hopeless pieces of junk!?
Did I just say give up his life? I struggled out of Matt's grip and ran towards the direction in which HolyMyotismon's falling. I managed to catch him but I couldn't maintain my balance so we both fell down. Everyone crowded around us and Matt helped me up while the rest settled HolyMyotismon. There was a faint white glow surrounding him and it was slowly fading. All of us knew that if the glow goes out, he's gone.
I heard our digimon fight above us.
"Smiley Face!" Marine Angemon shouted as the attack hit Metal Seadramon. At the same time, the opponent's attack hit him.
"Giga Ice Blast!" Metal Seadramon yelled. Both of them got injured except Metal Seadramon dissolved and Marine Angemon de-digivolved to Bukamon.
"Mega Electro Shocker!" I heard someone yell. I can bet that it was Hercules Kabuterimon. Yep, I was right. The attack rushed towards Machinedramon as he said his attack.
"Giga Cannon." He said in his usual dreary voice. When he got hit with the ball of energy, he dissolved into tiny pieces of data. Hercules Kabuterimon was pushed back against a few trees and they collapsed. He sat there for a while, hurt all over, and then finally de-digivolved into Motimon. Now there's only Demonomon, Piedmon, and Puppetmon to settle.
"Digi Flower Rage!" Rosemon shouted.
Simultaneously, Phoenixmon shouted, "Star Light Explosion!" Both attacks headed towards Puppetmon and he didn't even get to use his Puppet Pummel attack. Rosemon and Phoenixmon de-digivolved to Biyomon and Palmon and they gave each other high five.
Piedmon turned to the portal to run, but WarGreymon and Metal Garurumon stopped him. He had no choice but fight. He used his Trump Sword but it missed both of them.
"Now it's our turn." I heard WarGreymon say. "Terra Force!"
"Ice Wolf Claw!" And the attacks simultaneously hit Piedmon, which caused him to dissolve as well. Metal Garurumon and WarGreymon de-digivolved to Gabumon and Agumon.
All the digimon and digidestined kneeled down around HolyMyotismon and fell silent. Now only Demonomon was left. But I know that Angewomon and Magna Angemon alone can't fight him. They're only in their Ultimate forms. Demonomon froze for a while when he saw that all his servants were easily killed by our crew.
I was watching the battles this whole time that I didn't even realize what was happening to HolyMyotismon. He whispered something in Matt's ear and Matt nodded as a tear came down his cheek. Then he signaled for me to lean closer. I put my ear right above his lips and he whispered, "I'm sorry I can't help you anymore... I... love you, Mimi. But I hope you have a good life with Matt..." With that, he went limp.
I shed a million tears but I know that that won't bring him back. Then he began to fade like a hologram. Before he disappeared, he seemed to have shape-shifted. Strangely enough, out of all the things to change into, he changed into a Golden Retriever.
My eyes widened when I realized whom it were. More streams of tears flowed down my damp cheeks. "Angel!" I managed to gasp out between sobs. Everyone stared at me in bewilderment. Then the image turned back to HolyMyotismon and he smiled at me the instant before he disappeared all together. Matt quickly ran to my side and lent me a shoulder.
"He was just trying to be our friend..." T.K. choked out.
"Yea, and look at what he did just to save us. We owe him and we can't even return the favor." Kari said between sobs. Both her and T.K.'re shaking in their brothers' arms. As they began to shiver harder, they began to glow pink and yellow. Right then, a beam of hope seemed to have shot on to us. They glowed harder and harder until it became a beam and it shot Magna Angemon and Angewomon.
"Magna Angemon digivolve to... GODDRAMON!!!" Then, standing there's a yellow dragon like figure with wings.
"Angewomon digivolve to... MAGNA DRAMON!!!" Then, a pink dragon appeared. At that, Demonomon backed up but then began to laugh a little. Then it turned into a crackle of evil laughter.
"You think that two measly digimon can beat me? DREAM ON!" Demonomon cracked up. I began to shake with anger. First he kills our friend, now he is calling our digimon measly? He's gone too far! I put my energy to it but still Palmon can't digivolve.
I stood up and began to scream. "Maybe they can't beat you alone, but I know that me and Palmon will help!" Then Palmon stood up beside me. I knew that she'd help me, even though she probably thinks that I've lost my mind. Then I changed my screaming into a hiss, "... Even if it costs our lives." Then everyone stares at me in bewilderment, thinking that I've definitely lost my mind. But I don't care; I have to do something.
Normal P.O.V. *@----}----{----@* (too many people thinking so I didn't feel like doing all those P.O.V.'s)
Tai thought, 'Wow, I've never seen Mimi like this. Even I'm not brave enough to go against a mega digimon like that...'
Sora, 'Oh gosh... If I know Mimi, she's REALLY serious, especially the part about her life. I'm scared for her now...'
T.K. ' Dang! I never thought that Mimi would be like that. Now I think that she'll make a cool sister. Maybe I can get Matt to make her my sister-in-law..."
Kari 'Oh no. Mimi's got to be the bravest girl I've ever met. I just hope that she doesn't get hurt..."
Joe 'It's girls like Mimi that makes guys like me ashamed of ourselves.' Joe sighs.
Izzy 'this is interesting: Human against data. If only I can find out some weak points to help Mimi.'
Matt 'Oh GOD! Mimi's going to hurt herself, I know it! Right after we know how we feel about each other. How can everything end like this?'
Matt's P.O.V. *@----}----{----@*
How can Mimi be so brave? Well, I have to stand by her no matter what. I mean, I don't HAVE to, but I WANT to. So I stood up and said, "Count Gabumon and I in!"
"Yea!" Gabumon shouted trying to look fierce. Then one by one, the rest of the group stood up and faced Demonomon. All of our digimon and we glowed even though they didn't digivolve. Gabumon and I glowed blue. Tai and Agumon glowed orange. Mimi and Palmon glowed green. T.K. and Goddramon glowed yellow. Kari and Magna Dramon glowed pink. Sora and Biyomon glowed red. Joe and Bukamon glowed gray. And Izzy and Motimon glowed purple.
"Great. So now humans are going after me. Oh I'm so scared." Demonomon said mockingly. "This is so embarrassing. But at least I can finish you all at once!" Our glow united as he was busy screaming. All of us glowed bright white, like angels.
"GOD FLAME!" Goddramon shouted as he gathered his energy for his attack.
"DRAGON'S FIRE!" Magna Dramon yelled. Then, two red beams of flames united as one and shot out at Demonomon.
"DEMON'S WRATH!" Demonomon shouted as a blue beam of flame shot out of his hands. The two beams hit each other and they began to push each other towards the enemy's direction. They were both head to head.
But then Mimi spoke up. "Don't worry, Goddramon, Magna Dramon. We'll help." She said in a strong yet soothing voice. Then, she advanced towards the two flames. We tried to go with her, but she'd command Palmon to hold us back with her poison ivy. I struggled to break free. I even yelled at Palmon, but she still wouldn't let me go. She just said that orders are orders. I was in the most pissed off mood. I felt tears clouding my vision.
"MIMI!" I shouted as I broke my right arm free and began to reach out to her. She stopped walking towards the fight. I waited patiently as I hope that she'd come back to me. She turned around and smiled. I knew that her mind was made up.
"Don't worry, I'll take care. You guys stay within the light. It works as a shield and it'll protect you from harm." She said softly.
"But what about you, Mimi?" Sora yelled. I could hear her voice shaking and I could almost see the tears rolling down her face.
"I'll be fine," she lied. She gave me a faint smile. This was what she had to do, I can't stop her. So I just smiled reassuringly to let her know that I'm always by her side. Before she turned away, I looked into her eyes for a second and tried to savor the memory of the dancing glitters from her eyes. Then she turned away...
Everyone shook their heads and let out whimpers. They all repeatedly saying Mimi's name and the word no in a doomed tone. All except for me.
She walked up to in between the dragons and placed her hands on each of them, gentle yet strong. Her green light began to transport through her hands into their bodies, giving them strength to battle. Even thought it's not much, but it still helped them win by a little. I could tell that Demonomon is really stressing it by his expression and his sweating. The same goes for Magna Dramon and Goddramon. But Mimi looked completely calm.
Then I heard her soft moaning. I can tell that she's slowly losing energy because her glow was dimming. If this continues on, SHE'LL DIE! That's what she meant by giving her life. Did she know that this was going to happen? I have to do something, and quick!
Right then, I fell on my hands and knees and I bowed my head so low that my forehead touched the ground. "Please, Palmon! Let me go help Mimi! If you don't let me go, she'll DIE!" I begged as I continuously bowed to Palmon. I never thought that I'd do this to anyone, but now I barely have a choice.
Palmon shook her head and said sadly, "I'm sorry, Matt. I have to follow her orders. As much as I hate to see her do this to herself, I have to follow my duties. Please understand." Please understand? She's the one who's misunderstood! The girl of my dreams is standing there killing herself because of us and you're holding us back? How can she do this? I'll have to get out of here myself. But how?
I used my free hand and searched through the pockets in my jeans. Then in my back pocket, I felt something. It was wood with hints of metal on one side... It's the pocket knife that dad gave me for my birthday! Thank God. Swiftly, I began cutting the ivy. Palmon doesn't seem to be hurt. In fact, she seemed like she barely felt anything at all.
I finally broke free and jetted for it before Palmon could catch me. I looked back once and realized that she had no choice because if she did go after me, all the others will be loose. I could here the others screaming my name either telling me to free them too or telling me not to go. But I don't have a choice. Palmon just looked back at me and her expression was strained. She knew what I had to do and just nodded. Gabumon did the same. their eyes were fiery with courage that they're lending me. I've never seen them like this before...
I ran up to Mimi and took her hand from Magna Dramon's shoulder and gently gave it a little squeeze. She slowly opened her eyes and faced me. She was about to say something but I stopped her by putting a finger on her lip with my free hand. Then, with that hand, I placed my middle finger and my index finger under her chin and slowly lifted it up. We're stared into each others' eyes and smiled. The fire made the sparkles in her eyes dance like stars in the sky. I was afraid that it would be the last time I looked into them. Slowly, I lowered my head and she went on her tip toes. As we closed our eyes, our lips met and we kissed each other passionately, savoring every memory...
When we finally broke apart, our gazes turned back to the evil digimon. I touched Magna Dramon's shoulder to give her power and I began to glow blue like Mimi glowed green. I held Mimi's hand and her other hand was remained on Goddramon. Mimi and I gripped onto each other's hand for reassurance. I could feel both our energy drifting away...
We didn't know if we would survive this. Mimi and I stared at each other teary eyed and then she nodded. I knew what we must do. With one final push, we gave out all our energy and the beam expanded quickly towards Demonomon. It was about one foot from him but it just wasn't enough. And with Mimi and my energy drained, there's no way that Goddramon and Magna Dramon can withstand him alone.
But then, six lights shot from behind us and combined with the fire beam. When we looked back, we could see the lights shooting from our friends' crests. Gray, orange, red, pink, yellow, and purple. With their energy, the light went straight through Demonomon and he evaporated into the air as tiny pieces of data. His last words were, "I'll be back..." I doubt it though.
Mimi and I collapse right then because of loss of energy. We stared at each other, not knowing if we'll ever see each other's face again. Her weak hand reached for mine and she whispered, "Matt, I'm scared..." I could hear her shivering. I didn't know what I could do.
"Don't worry, Mimi, we'll be fine. I mean, we just saved the world, right? I'm sure that they'll get the best doctors here in no time." I said in a quivered voice as I felt tears run down my face. It hurted me to lit to Mimi like that.
"Yes, but I don't think they'll make it on time." She whispered. She seemed so helpless.
"Don't be silly. I know we'll be able to make it. We always do... And plus I'll be with you." That seemed to have made her cry even more. Seeing this, I quickly tried to make her feel better. "Don't worry, Mimi. When we get home and we're fine, I'll make you my famous chocolate cake. It's the best. Everyone who's tasted it said so too-" I said before I burst into a million painful coughs.
She seemed to have held my hand tighter. "Thanks, Matt. Thanks for everything..."
Palmon let the others go and they immediately ran towards us, yelling our names. All of us had tears streaming down our faces. My hand was still gripping onto Mimi's, never wanting to let go.
My eyelids were half down, but I saw Mimi go limp already. She looked really peaceful and undisturbed, like an angel. So sad to see her go. Joe seemed to have taken her pulse, but he slowly put her hand back down and shook his head. I wanted to burst into tears and hug her lifeless body close to me. But I just couldn't find the energy.
My eyelids slowly closed and I could feel Tai slapping me and shouting, "Stay with me, Matt! Don't go!" His tears felt warm against my cold skin. They were the last things I felt other than Mimi's cold hands. My soul slipped away...
An instant later, I opened my eyes and sat up. I felt much better. I looked at my hands to see if I had any wounds. There wasn't, but they were transparent! Then I looked around, everyone was weeping and crying over Mimi and..... ME! I understand now.... I'm dead! Now where do I go? I looked around and realized that I was floating, Mimi was right ahead of me. I tried to call out to her but no sound came out. I guess spirits can't talk. So I tried my best to go as fast as I could. Hey, I'm new at this floating thing. But I concentrated and finally caught up to her. I tapped her shoulder and she turned her face to look at me. She still looked the same, except now she's transparent. I reached out for her hand and realized that spirits could touch each other. We beamed our warmest smile at each other, knowing that we're not alone.
All around us, other souls were floating the same direction. I didn't know where we're going, but Mimi seemed like she did. Then I saw a really bright light ahead of me. I turned my gaze from Mimi to the source of the light. It was a big gate. Now I understood also. If you go in there, you can never come back. But it would be great to be able to be there forever, with Mimi.
She seemed to have read my mind and smiled at me. Then something bad struck me. What if they try to hurt Mimi? And plus, does it mean that I can never hear Mimi's sweet voice anymore? Never can I hear her beautiful singing? But we had no other choice... Courageously, we ducked through the massive amount of people trying to get to the gate before it closes. We knew that if we separated, then it'll be practically impossible to find each other again. So we gripped onto each other's hands tight.
When we were in front of the golden gate, the flow of spirits stopped abruptly and we all stood on a floor of clouds. A "spirit officer" stood on a platform near the gate, prepared for a speech. He was dressed in a traditional white Japanese robe of the best silk and the most delicate gold thread created a fierce dragon in the middle of the robe. He had short, tame, black hair and dark brown eyes. He held out his hands for silence and he sure got it. I guess he's a spirit of extremely high rank.
He cleared his throat and said in a loud and clear voice, "As you all know, you shall now enter the Gate of Eternity. On the other side of this gate, you may not speak or make noise to interrupt the praying of monk spirits. So if you have anything to say to anyone here, you may as well do it now. We give you ten minutes. So treasure them because they'll be the last time you speak." Then with that, he disappeared to leave us to our conversations.
I stared into Mimi's teary eyes and I knew that things will never be the same. Neither of us knew what to do. We felt so helpless. Then I said something, "I'm sorry that I don't get to make you that chocolate cake I promised." I said as I wiped away some tears. She gently brushed her hand against my cheek and managed a smile.
"It's okay, I understand..." She said as she looked down. What is there to say though? I mean, there isn't much, you know. If you're in our situation, you'd know.
Then I thought of an idea. I reached for my pocket hoping that it's still there. Yes! I took out my long, silver instrument and pressed it against my lips. Then, thinking for a while, I began playing the notes that hid in my heart. I always used my music to describe my feelings, so why not do that now? I know, I know, using music to confess is for wimps. But what else can I say?
When I finished, I opened my eyes and realized that Mimi was staring at me with her soft amber eyes. Tears spilling out like rivers and streams. I gently wiped them away and we looked into each other's eyes. She broke the silence. "That was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Here, play it again and I'll add some lyrics to it." It'll be just like last time...
So with another deep breath, I started to play that melody already. Soon, Mimi's angelic voice came in...
When I think, how life used to be; Always walking in the shadows.
Then I look, at what you've given me; I feel like dancing on my tip-toes.
I must say everyday I pray
When realize you're by my side;
I know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me;
Blessed for all the tenderness you show;
Do my best with every breath that's in me;
Blessed to make sure you never go.
There are times, that I test your faith, 'til you think you might surrender.
Baby I'm, I'm not ashamed to say, that my hopes will grow in splendor
You walked by in the nick of time
looking like an answered prayer
You know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me;
Blessed for all the tenderness you show;
Do my best with every breath that's in me;
Blessed to make sure you never go.
Blessed with love and understanding;
Blessed when I hear you call my name;
Do my best with faith that's never-ending;
Blessed to make sure you feel the same.
Deep inside you fill me with your tender touch...
Blessed for everything you've given me;
Blessed for all the tenderness you show;
Do my best with every breath that's in me;
Blessed to make sure you never go.
When we finished, I realized that everyone's stopped their chattering and concentrated on our music. We both blushed a deep red and then someone began clapping. Then a thunderous applause followed. The person who clapped was the spirit officer, telling us it's time. Mimi and I turned to face each other. Finally we couldn't take it anymore and we went into each other's arms and kissed ever so gently. We heard people nearby murmuring but we didn't care anymore, we were in our own heaven...
Soon, a strong wind blew and we began to head towards the opened gate. The gate was sucking us very quickly and it's impossible to resist it. Mimi and I kept our hands together but it was still very hard. Then, all of a sudden, I felt something tugging on my leg, holding us back. They were three beams of light- yellow, gray and purple. Then I looked over to Mimi. The same thing was happening to her, except her colors were red, orange and pink.
It was the rest of the guys! They must be trying to get us back! Slowly, I could feel myself descending to Earth. Though, the force of the wind from the gate felt like they were trying to rip me apart. Then, all of a sudden, Mimi's beams seemed to have weakened and the winds around her strengthened. Then, the guy from before appeared in front of us.
He turned to me and said, "You may go." But then he turned towards Mimi and said, "You must stay. You must stay and make music in heaven for eternity." Then with that, he disappeared all together. Finally, the beams which held Mimi's leg gave up to the strong force. And Mimi went flying off. Luckily, I grabbed her hand just in time. But the winds were still trying to pull her back. Our grips began to loosen. We silently mouthed each other's name and we finally mouthed it. "I love you." We both mouthed at the same time. It's really typical. When we're alive, we can't get up the courage to tell each other. But what good is it to tell it now? We said this to each other twice, both of the times we were in trouble...
Then, she began to float farther away. Our fingers lingered and knotted, but they finally parted. I screamed without sound as I saw Mimi's soul being drifted away from me. This was all my fault. If I never started that music thing, then they would've never heard her sing. Stupid me.
I began to see everyone in sight and I saw my body. I slowly entered it and it felt completely weird. Then I felt solid and complete. Not all the way though, because I knew that I won't find Mimi next to me. I opened my eyes and sat up. I stared at Mimi's lifeless body next to mine and they all said their sorry's. But none of that can bring Mimi back, none of it.
Then Gennai appeared. "Thank you, digidestined, for destroying all the evil digimon at once. I understand that you had to make a very painful sacrifice and I am very sorry about that. None of this was supposed to happen in the first place. Well, now that your mission is complete, you all shall return to your homes. We will build a monument dedicated to you eight... And two special shrines dedicated to Matt and... Mimi. Please go through this portal and you shall all return to the real world." Everyone said their good byes except for me. I felt so lifeless, so incomplete without Mimi. Everyone went through the portal before me. I picked up Mimi's cold, lifeless body and stepped into the portal.
I dropped and dropped and dropped, just like when we first came. I still remember it all so clearly. Then, I accidentally let go of the body because I was falling head first. I became really sleepy for some reason and I closed my eyes, not willing to fight my tiredness. But before I closed my eyes, I thought I saw a light coming from the direction in which Mimi fell. It was just my imagination...
When I finally opened my eyes, I found Joe and Izzy looking over me. When they saw me, they called over to whoever and said, "He's awake! He's awake!" Then all the other digidestined surrounded me, other than Mimi, that is. Mimi...
I bolted right up. "Have any of you guys seen Mimi's body?!" All of them looked at each other and shook their heads. "Great. I couldn't protect her when she was alive and now I can't even protect her body! How useless can someone be anyway?" I shouted to no one in particular.
"Just calm down for a second, Matt." Izzy said. Calm down? My freakin girlfriend just died and he's telling me to calm down? The girl of my dreams just left me and you tell me to calm down? I bit down my fear and tightened my fist. I looked down avoiding anyone's gaze.
"All right, just answer these two questions. How come you could come back and she couldn't? Where exactly is she right now?" Izzy asked.
I sighed in annoyance but began answering him anyway. "Mimi is-" I began. But then I felt two arms slipping around my neck. The touch was so familiar and gentle.
"Right here." The girl behind me finished. Hold on, right here? I spun around to find Mimi's amber eyes staring right into mine. C-can this be true? O-oh my Lord! Thank God! I just managed to open my mouth but no words came out of it.
"W-What are you doing here, Mimi? I-I thought-" I managed to babble after I partially recovered from the shock. She giggled a little bit and I realized who silly I must have looked and sound.
"You still owe me a chocolate cake, remember?" She joked with her usual spark back in her eyes. "When the other spirits heard what the guy said, they decided to help me and they formed a line kind of thing so I could hold on to them and reach back to Earth far enough where the wind can't control me. Then I realized the portal to the real world was open so I jumped in and I found my body falling. So I immediately went back in before I lost it again." Everyone other than me showed a confused look. They should be confused actually.
Without second thought, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her passionately and hungrily. I want her to know now that I love her with all my heart and will love her always. I think that told her the message. I know that they're all staring but I don't care what they think.
Then I heard T.K. say, "Why do older kids always do that?" Then I heard Izzy and Joe mimic a cough which actually really says, "Tai and Sora" Then Tai hit them on the back and they really began to choke cough. I smiled a little but didn't break away.
Then I heard Kari say, "Because that's what they do. We might do that when we're older." She blushed a little but Tai looked a little angry. Sora told him to calm down a bit.
I opened my eyes and looked at Mimi's closed eyes. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Tai say to Sora, "To tell you the truth, I don't get it either."
Sora plainly wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a little peck on the cheek. "Don't worry, Tai, everything's perfect. Just perfect." And I completely agree with her...
Myotismon's P.O.V.*@----}----(----@*
I heard someone yell Demonomon. I assume that it was Izzy, but I'm not sure. I failed. I failed to protect the one I love. I'm so completely useless. I mean, I tried and I failed. I thought that my existence was to live for Mimi. And I still believe so too. But now I know that I'm so useless that I can't even succeed in my lifetime purpose. Also, I find out that I love her so much, but she likes that little punk, Matt. How much worse can this get? Oops, I hope I didn't jinx it.
I heard Agumon digivolve to Metalgreymon, Gabumon digivolved to Weregarurumon, Gomamon digivolved Zudomon, Tentomon digivolved to MegaKabuterimon, Biyomon digivolved to Garudamon, Patamon digivolved to Angemon and Gatomon, my former servant, digivolved to Angewomon.
I know that they can't beat Demonomon. Even in their ultimate forms. One by one, I heard them scream in pain and fall onto the ground. Right after, their digidestined would run over to them and yell their name. Everytime, they de-digivolved back to their in-training forms.
I wish I can help, but I know that I don't have enough strength. Please give me some power, Mimi....
Then I heard Demonomon's evil laughter. Then he said, "You actually thought that you can beat me with your measly little digimon? Get a grip! I'm the Ruler of Darkness. And you think that a few useless ultimates can beat me? In your dreams! Truthfully, I've never seen more useless ultimates. " He laughed a little before continuing. "I don't understand how anyone can lose to you losers! I mean, even with Myotismon, one of my most powerful servants, you can't beat me. This is just plain pitiful."
He just called the digidestined losers. That means that he called Mimi a loser! If only I could do something! I felt my face becoming wet. I opened my eyes and saw that Mimi was crying. Once again, I hated seeing her cry. My heart was completely angry now, at Demonomon. But I can't do anything.
I closed my eyes again but then I felt a warm beam, like sunlight, something I haven't seen in a long time. I slightly opened my eyes but they were forced to shut when they saw a bright green glow. GREEN? I opened my eyes again and kept them open this time. The glow was surrounding Mimi, Palmon, and me. I realized that it was coming out from her crest.
Just then I felt a bolt of energy boil through my blood. It was helping me recover. Then I heard Palmon warp digivolve into Rosemon. She looked completely stunning. I felt myself beginning to rise and I opened my eyes. I was floating in mid-air when I opened my eyes.
The digidestined were staring up at me. I was wondering why when I realized that I was glowing white. My thoughts were interrupted when a scream came from Rosemon as one of Demonomon's attacks hit her. I know that she probably won't be able to hold on much longer. That means that she can't protect Mimi or anyone else! I had to think of something. It was then I shouted out the words...
"Myotismon digivolve to... HolyMyotismon!" (AN: OKAY OKAY! I know I suck at names! Stop with the rotten vegetables already!) With that, my cape turned bright white, my golden hair hung loose, my mask and fangs disappeared, my suit turned into an armor and a staff appeared in my hand.
Everyone including me were surprised. Who could've thought that I can digivolve into something good?! I always thought that VenomMyotismon was my next step. But I guess it really depends on why you digivolve. And this time, it's for the better. I had to protect Mimi.
You know, I just realized something. I digivolved twice, and both times it's because of Mimi. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Rosemon scream for help. I looked over to her and realized that Demonomon has grabbed her by the arm and was swinging her in circles. When he finally let go, she came flying towards me. With all my might, I caught her and managed not to crash into anything. She thanked me and flew beside. Then I thought I saw Demonomon frown at the sight of two mega digimon against him.
He shouted out for a portal and one appeared beside him. I had a terrible feeling about this. And my feeling came true. For from the portal, the four Dark Masters stepped out. Piedmon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon, and Metal Seadramon all chuckled as they stared at us. It's impossible, two mega forms can't fight five megas.
Something came to me. I know that if I do this, then I'll lose all my strength, but I have to do this. I know, it's the only way...
Mimi's P.O.V. *@----}----{----@*
Okay, we're all officially freaked out now... I mean, all the dark masters AND that freaky guy, digimon, whatever! What are we going to do? We're all just standing here right now and HolyMyotismon is just standing there. What are we going to do?
I broke into tears as Matt held me in his arms and Sora was doing the same with Tai. I soaked his shirt when I saw something which blind my eyes. There was a light shot out to all the digimon from HolyMyotismon's staff! Then one by one, they began to heal...
"Koromon Warp-digivolve to... WarGreymon!"
"Tsunomon Warp-digivolve to... MetalGarurumon!"
"Yokomon Warp-digivolve to... Phoenixmon!"
"Bukamon Warp-digivolve to... Marine Angemon!"
"Motimon Warp-digivolve to... Hercules Kabuterimon!"
"Tokomon digivolve to... Magna Angemon!"
"Nyaromon digivolve to... Angewomon!"
Maybe now we'll have some hope... I looked up and smiled at HolyMyotismon. He seemed to have saved us all. At least that's what I believe. He replied with a weak smile as everyone went to war. Then HolyMyotismon began falling from the sky, fast. Then I heard Demonomon yell, "FOOL! You'd rather give up your life to help these useless, hopeless pieces of junk!?
Did I just say give up his life? I struggled out of Matt's grip and ran towards the direction in which HolyMyotismon's falling. I managed to catch him but I couldn't maintain my balance so we both fell down. Everyone crowded around us and Matt helped me up while the rest settled HolyMyotismon. There was a faint white glow surrounding him and it was slowly fading. All of us knew that if the glow goes out, he's gone.
I heard our digimon fight above us.
"Smiley Face!" Marine Angemon shouted as the attack hit Metal Seadramon. At the same time, the opponent's attack hit him.
"Giga Ice Blast!" Metal Seadramon yelled. Both of them got injured except Metal Seadramon dissolved and Marine Angemon de-digivolved to Bukamon.
"Mega Electro Shocker!" I heard someone yell. I can bet that it was Hercules Kabuterimon. Yep, I was right. The attack rushed towards Machinedramon as he said his attack.
"Giga Cannon." He said in his usual dreary voice. When he got hit with the ball of energy, he dissolved into tiny pieces of data. Hercules Kabuterimon was pushed back against a few trees and they collapsed. He sat there for a while, hurt all over, and then finally de-digivolved into Motimon. Now there's only Demonomon, Piedmon, and Puppetmon to settle.
"Digi Flower Rage!" Rosemon shouted.
Simultaneously, Phoenixmon shouted, "Star Light Explosion!" Both attacks headed towards Puppetmon and he didn't even get to use his Puppet Pummel attack. Rosemon and Phoenixmon de-digivolved to Biyomon and Palmon and they gave each other high five.
Piedmon turned to the portal to run, but WarGreymon and Metal Garurumon stopped him. He had no choice but fight. He used his Trump Sword but it missed both of them.
"Now it's our turn." I heard WarGreymon say. "Terra Force!"
"Ice Wolf Claw!" And the attacks simultaneously hit Piedmon, which caused him to dissolve as well. Metal Garurumon and WarGreymon de-digivolved to Gabumon and Agumon.
All the digimon and digidestined kneeled down around HolyMyotismon and fell silent. Now only Demonomon was left. But I know that Angewomon and Magna Angemon alone can't fight him. They're only in their Ultimate forms. Demonomon froze for a while when he saw that all his servants were easily killed by our crew.
I was watching the battles this whole time that I didn't even realize what was happening to HolyMyotismon. He whispered something in Matt's ear and Matt nodded as a tear came down his cheek. Then he signaled for me to lean closer. I put my ear right above his lips and he whispered, "I'm sorry I can't help you anymore... I... love you, Mimi. But I hope you have a good life with Matt..." With that, he went limp.
I shed a million tears but I know that that won't bring him back. Then he began to fade like a hologram. Before he disappeared, he seemed to have shape-shifted. Strangely enough, out of all the things to change into, he changed into a Golden Retriever.
My eyes widened when I realized whom it were. More streams of tears flowed down my damp cheeks. "Angel!" I managed to gasp out between sobs. Everyone stared at me in bewilderment. Then the image turned back to HolyMyotismon and he smiled at me the instant before he disappeared all together. Matt quickly ran to my side and lent me a shoulder.
"He was just trying to be our friend..." T.K. choked out.
"Yea, and look at what he did just to save us. We owe him and we can't even return the favor." Kari said between sobs. Both her and T.K.'re shaking in their brothers' arms. As they began to shiver harder, they began to glow pink and yellow. Right then, a beam of hope seemed to have shot on to us. They glowed harder and harder until it became a beam and it shot Magna Angemon and Angewomon.
"Magna Angemon digivolve to... GODDRAMON!!!" Then, standing there's a yellow dragon like figure with wings.
"Angewomon digivolve to... MAGNA DRAMON!!!" Then, a pink dragon appeared. At that, Demonomon backed up but then began to laugh a little. Then it turned into a crackle of evil laughter.
"You think that two measly digimon can beat me? DREAM ON!" Demonomon cracked up. I began to shake with anger. First he kills our friend, now he is calling our digimon measly? He's gone too far! I put my energy to it but still Palmon can't digivolve.
I stood up and began to scream. "Maybe they can't beat you alone, but I know that me and Palmon will help!" Then Palmon stood up beside me. I knew that she'd help me, even though she probably thinks that I've lost my mind. Then I changed my screaming into a hiss, "... Even if it costs our lives." Then everyone stares at me in bewilderment, thinking that I've definitely lost my mind. But I don't care; I have to do something.
Normal P.O.V. *@----}----{----@* (too many people thinking so I didn't feel like doing all those P.O.V.'s)
Tai thought, 'Wow, I've never seen Mimi like this. Even I'm not brave enough to go against a mega digimon like that...'
Sora, 'Oh gosh... If I know Mimi, she's REALLY serious, especially the part about her life. I'm scared for her now...'
T.K. ' Dang! I never thought that Mimi would be like that. Now I think that she'll make a cool sister. Maybe I can get Matt to make her my sister-in-law..."
Kari 'Oh no. Mimi's got to be the bravest girl I've ever met. I just hope that she doesn't get hurt..."
Joe 'It's girls like Mimi that makes guys like me ashamed of ourselves.' Joe sighs.
Izzy 'this is interesting: Human against data. If only I can find out some weak points to help Mimi.'
Matt 'Oh GOD! Mimi's going to hurt herself, I know it! Right after we know how we feel about each other. How can everything end like this?'
Matt's P.O.V. *@----}----{----@*
How can Mimi be so brave? Well, I have to stand by her no matter what. I mean, I don't HAVE to, but I WANT to. So I stood up and said, "Count Gabumon and I in!"
"Yea!" Gabumon shouted trying to look fierce. Then one by one, the rest of the group stood up and faced Demonomon. All of our digimon and we glowed even though they didn't digivolve. Gabumon and I glowed blue. Tai and Agumon glowed orange. Mimi and Palmon glowed green. T.K. and Goddramon glowed yellow. Kari and Magna Dramon glowed pink. Sora and Biyomon glowed red. Joe and Bukamon glowed gray. And Izzy and Motimon glowed purple.
"Great. So now humans are going after me. Oh I'm so scared." Demonomon said mockingly. "This is so embarrassing. But at least I can finish you all at once!" Our glow united as he was busy screaming. All of us glowed bright white, like angels.
"GOD FLAME!" Goddramon shouted as he gathered his energy for his attack.
"DRAGON'S FIRE!" Magna Dramon yelled. Then, two red beams of flames united as one and shot out at Demonomon.
"DEMON'S WRATH!" Demonomon shouted as a blue beam of flame shot out of his hands. The two beams hit each other and they began to push each other towards the enemy's direction. They were both head to head.
But then Mimi spoke up. "Don't worry, Goddramon, Magna Dramon. We'll help." She said in a strong yet soothing voice. Then, she advanced towards the two flames. We tried to go with her, but she'd command Palmon to hold us back with her poison ivy. I struggled to break free. I even yelled at Palmon, but she still wouldn't let me go. She just said that orders are orders. I was in the most pissed off mood. I felt tears clouding my vision.
"MIMI!" I shouted as I broke my right arm free and began to reach out to her. She stopped walking towards the fight. I waited patiently as I hope that she'd come back to me. She turned around and smiled. I knew that her mind was made up.
"Don't worry, I'll take care. You guys stay within the light. It works as a shield and it'll protect you from harm." She said softly.
"But what about you, Mimi?" Sora yelled. I could hear her voice shaking and I could almost see the tears rolling down her face.
"I'll be fine," she lied. She gave me a faint smile. This was what she had to do, I can't stop her. So I just smiled reassuringly to let her know that I'm always by her side. Before she turned away, I looked into her eyes for a second and tried to savor the memory of the dancing glitters from her eyes. Then she turned away...
Everyone shook their heads and let out whimpers. They all repeatedly saying Mimi's name and the word no in a doomed tone. All except for me.
She walked up to in between the dragons and placed her hands on each of them, gentle yet strong. Her green light began to transport through her hands into their bodies, giving them strength to battle. Even thought it's not much, but it still helped them win by a little. I could tell that Demonomon is really stressing it by his expression and his sweating. The same goes for Magna Dramon and Goddramon. But Mimi looked completely calm.
Then I heard her soft moaning. I can tell that she's slowly losing energy because her glow was dimming. If this continues on, SHE'LL DIE! That's what she meant by giving her life. Did she know that this was going to happen? I have to do something, and quick!
Right then, I fell on my hands and knees and I bowed my head so low that my forehead touched the ground. "Please, Palmon! Let me go help Mimi! If you don't let me go, she'll DIE!" I begged as I continuously bowed to Palmon. I never thought that I'd do this to anyone, but now I barely have a choice.
Palmon shook her head and said sadly, "I'm sorry, Matt. I have to follow her orders. As much as I hate to see her do this to herself, I have to follow my duties. Please understand." Please understand? She's the one who's misunderstood! The girl of my dreams is standing there killing herself because of us and you're holding us back? How can she do this? I'll have to get out of here myself. But how?
I used my free hand and searched through the pockets in my jeans. Then in my back pocket, I felt something. It was wood with hints of metal on one side... It's the pocket knife that dad gave me for my birthday! Thank God. Swiftly, I began cutting the ivy. Palmon doesn't seem to be hurt. In fact, she seemed like she barely felt anything at all.
I finally broke free and jetted for it before Palmon could catch me. I looked back once and realized that she had no choice because if she did go after me, all the others will be loose. I could here the others screaming my name either telling me to free them too or telling me not to go. But I don't have a choice. Palmon just looked back at me and her expression was strained. She knew what I had to do and just nodded. Gabumon did the same. their eyes were fiery with courage that they're lending me. I've never seen them like this before...
I ran up to Mimi and took her hand from Magna Dramon's shoulder and gently gave it a little squeeze. She slowly opened her eyes and faced me. She was about to say something but I stopped her by putting a finger on her lip with my free hand. Then, with that hand, I placed my middle finger and my index finger under her chin and slowly lifted it up. We're stared into each others' eyes and smiled. The fire made the sparkles in her eyes dance like stars in the sky. I was afraid that it would be the last time I looked into them. Slowly, I lowered my head and she went on her tip toes. As we closed our eyes, our lips met and we kissed each other passionately, savoring every memory...
When we finally broke apart, our gazes turned back to the evil digimon. I touched Magna Dramon's shoulder to give her power and I began to glow blue like Mimi glowed green. I held Mimi's hand and her other hand was remained on Goddramon. Mimi and I gripped onto each other's hand for reassurance. I could feel both our energy drifting away...
We didn't know if we would survive this. Mimi and I stared at each other teary eyed and then she nodded. I knew what we must do. With one final push, we gave out all our energy and the beam expanded quickly towards Demonomon. It was about one foot from him but it just wasn't enough. And with Mimi and my energy drained, there's no way that Goddramon and Magna Dramon can withstand him alone.
But then, six lights shot from behind us and combined with the fire beam. When we looked back, we could see the lights shooting from our friends' crests. Gray, orange, red, pink, yellow, and purple. With their energy, the light went straight through Demonomon and he evaporated into the air as tiny pieces of data. His last words were, "I'll be back..." I doubt it though.
Mimi and I collapse right then because of loss of energy. We stared at each other, not knowing if we'll ever see each other's face again. Her weak hand reached for mine and she whispered, "Matt, I'm scared..." I could hear her shivering. I didn't know what I could do.
"Don't worry, Mimi, we'll be fine. I mean, we just saved the world, right? I'm sure that they'll get the best doctors here in no time." I said in a quivered voice as I felt tears run down my face. It hurted me to lit to Mimi like that.
"Yes, but I don't think they'll make it on time." She whispered. She seemed so helpless.
"Don't be silly. I know we'll be able to make it. We always do... And plus I'll be with you." That seemed to have made her cry even more. Seeing this, I quickly tried to make her feel better. "Don't worry, Mimi. When we get home and we're fine, I'll make you my famous chocolate cake. It's the best. Everyone who's tasted it said so too-" I said before I burst into a million painful coughs.
She seemed to have held my hand tighter. "Thanks, Matt. Thanks for everything..."
Palmon let the others go and they immediately ran towards us, yelling our names. All of us had tears streaming down our faces. My hand was still gripping onto Mimi's, never wanting to let go.
My eyelids were half down, but I saw Mimi go limp already. She looked really peaceful and undisturbed, like an angel. So sad to see her go. Joe seemed to have taken her pulse, but he slowly put her hand back down and shook his head. I wanted to burst into tears and hug her lifeless body close to me. But I just couldn't find the energy.
My eyelids slowly closed and I could feel Tai slapping me and shouting, "Stay with me, Matt! Don't go!" His tears felt warm against my cold skin. They were the last things I felt other than Mimi's cold hands. My soul slipped away...
An instant later, I opened my eyes and sat up. I felt much better. I looked at my hands to see if I had any wounds. There wasn't, but they were transparent! Then I looked around, everyone was weeping and crying over Mimi and..... ME! I understand now.... I'm dead! Now where do I go? I looked around and realized that I was floating, Mimi was right ahead of me. I tried to call out to her but no sound came out. I guess spirits can't talk. So I tried my best to go as fast as I could. Hey, I'm new at this floating thing. But I concentrated and finally caught up to her. I tapped her shoulder and she turned her face to look at me. She still looked the same, except now she's transparent. I reached out for her hand and realized that spirits could touch each other. We beamed our warmest smile at each other, knowing that we're not alone.
All around us, other souls were floating the same direction. I didn't know where we're going, but Mimi seemed like she did. Then I saw a really bright light ahead of me. I turned my gaze from Mimi to the source of the light. It was a big gate. Now I understood also. If you go in there, you can never come back. But it would be great to be able to be there forever, with Mimi.
She seemed to have read my mind and smiled at me. Then something bad struck me. What if they try to hurt Mimi? And plus, does it mean that I can never hear Mimi's sweet voice anymore? Never can I hear her beautiful singing? But we had no other choice... Courageously, we ducked through the massive amount of people trying to get to the gate before it closes. We knew that if we separated, then it'll be practically impossible to find each other again. So we gripped onto each other's hands tight.
When we were in front of the golden gate, the flow of spirits stopped abruptly and we all stood on a floor of clouds. A "spirit officer" stood on a platform near the gate, prepared for a speech. He was dressed in a traditional white Japanese robe of the best silk and the most delicate gold thread created a fierce dragon in the middle of the robe. He had short, tame, black hair and dark brown eyes. He held out his hands for silence and he sure got it. I guess he's a spirit of extremely high rank.
He cleared his throat and said in a loud and clear voice, "As you all know, you shall now enter the Gate of Eternity. On the other side of this gate, you may not speak or make noise to interrupt the praying of monk spirits. So if you have anything to say to anyone here, you may as well do it now. We give you ten minutes. So treasure them because they'll be the last time you speak." Then with that, he disappeared to leave us to our conversations.
I stared into Mimi's teary eyes and I knew that things will never be the same. Neither of us knew what to do. We felt so helpless. Then I said something, "I'm sorry that I don't get to make you that chocolate cake I promised." I said as I wiped away some tears. She gently brushed her hand against my cheek and managed a smile.
"It's okay, I understand..." She said as she looked down. What is there to say though? I mean, there isn't much, you know. If you're in our situation, you'd know.
Then I thought of an idea. I reached for my pocket hoping that it's still there. Yes! I took out my long, silver instrument and pressed it against my lips. Then, thinking for a while, I began playing the notes that hid in my heart. I always used my music to describe my feelings, so why not do that now? I know, I know, using music to confess is for wimps. But what else can I say?
When I finished, I opened my eyes and realized that Mimi was staring at me with her soft amber eyes. Tears spilling out like rivers and streams. I gently wiped them away and we looked into each other's eyes. She broke the silence. "That was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Here, play it again and I'll add some lyrics to it." It'll be just like last time...
So with another deep breath, I started to play that melody already. Soon, Mimi's angelic voice came in...
When I think, how life used to be; Always walking in the shadows.
Then I look, at what you've given me; I feel like dancing on my tip-toes.
I must say everyday I pray
When realize you're by my side;
I know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me;
Blessed for all the tenderness you show;
Do my best with every breath that's in me;
Blessed to make sure you never go.
There are times, that I test your faith, 'til you think you might surrender.
Baby I'm, I'm not ashamed to say, that my hopes will grow in splendor
You walked by in the nick of time
looking like an answered prayer
You know I'm truly...
Blessed for everything you've given me;
Blessed for all the tenderness you show;
Do my best with every breath that's in me;
Blessed to make sure you never go.
Blessed with love and understanding;
Blessed when I hear you call my name;
Do my best with faith that's never-ending;
Blessed to make sure you feel the same.
Deep inside you fill me with your tender touch...
Blessed for everything you've given me;
Blessed for all the tenderness you show;
Do my best with every breath that's in me;
Blessed to make sure you never go.
When we finished, I realized that everyone's stopped their chattering and concentrated on our music. We both blushed a deep red and then someone began clapping. Then a thunderous applause followed. The person who clapped was the spirit officer, telling us it's time. Mimi and I turned to face each other. Finally we couldn't take it anymore and we went into each other's arms and kissed ever so gently. We heard people nearby murmuring but we didn't care anymore, we were in our own heaven...
Soon, a strong wind blew and we began to head towards the opened gate. The gate was sucking us very quickly and it's impossible to resist it. Mimi and I kept our hands together but it was still very hard. Then, all of a sudden, I felt something tugging on my leg, holding us back. They were three beams of light- yellow, gray and purple. Then I looked over to Mimi. The same thing was happening to her, except her colors were red, orange and pink.
It was the rest of the guys! They must be trying to get us back! Slowly, I could feel myself descending to Earth. Though, the force of the wind from the gate felt like they were trying to rip me apart. Then, all of a sudden, Mimi's beams seemed to have weakened and the winds around her strengthened. Then, the guy from before appeared in front of us.
He turned to me and said, "You may go." But then he turned towards Mimi and said, "You must stay. You must stay and make music in heaven for eternity." Then with that, he disappeared all together. Finally, the beams which held Mimi's leg gave up to the strong force. And Mimi went flying off. Luckily, I grabbed her hand just in time. But the winds were still trying to pull her back. Our grips began to loosen. We silently mouthed each other's name and we finally mouthed it. "I love you." We both mouthed at the same time. It's really typical. When we're alive, we can't get up the courage to tell each other. But what good is it to tell it now? We said this to each other twice, both of the times we were in trouble...
Then, she began to float farther away. Our fingers lingered and knotted, but they finally parted. I screamed without sound as I saw Mimi's soul being drifted away from me. This was all my fault. If I never started that music thing, then they would've never heard her sing. Stupid me.
I began to see everyone in sight and I saw my body. I slowly entered it and it felt completely weird. Then I felt solid and complete. Not all the way though, because I knew that I won't find Mimi next to me. I opened my eyes and sat up. I stared at Mimi's lifeless body next to mine and they all said their sorry's. But none of that can bring Mimi back, none of it.
Then Gennai appeared. "Thank you, digidestined, for destroying all the evil digimon at once. I understand that you had to make a very painful sacrifice and I am very sorry about that. None of this was supposed to happen in the first place. Well, now that your mission is complete, you all shall return to your homes. We will build a monument dedicated to you eight... And two special shrines dedicated to Matt and... Mimi. Please go through this portal and you shall all return to the real world." Everyone said their good byes except for me. I felt so lifeless, so incomplete without Mimi. Everyone went through the portal before me. I picked up Mimi's cold, lifeless body and stepped into the portal.
I dropped and dropped and dropped, just like when we first came. I still remember it all so clearly. Then, I accidentally let go of the body because I was falling head first. I became really sleepy for some reason and I closed my eyes, not willing to fight my tiredness. But before I closed my eyes, I thought I saw a light coming from the direction in which Mimi fell. It was just my imagination...
When I finally opened my eyes, I found Joe and Izzy looking over me. When they saw me, they called over to whoever and said, "He's awake! He's awake!" Then all the other digidestined surrounded me, other than Mimi, that is. Mimi...
I bolted right up. "Have any of you guys seen Mimi's body?!" All of them looked at each other and shook their heads. "Great. I couldn't protect her when she was alive and now I can't even protect her body! How useless can someone be anyway?" I shouted to no one in particular.
"Just calm down for a second, Matt." Izzy said. Calm down? My freakin girlfriend just died and he's telling me to calm down? The girl of my dreams just left me and you tell me to calm down? I bit down my fear and tightened my fist. I looked down avoiding anyone's gaze.
"All right, just answer these two questions. How come you could come back and she couldn't? Where exactly is she right now?" Izzy asked.
I sighed in annoyance but began answering him anyway. "Mimi is-" I began. But then I felt two arms slipping around my neck. The touch was so familiar and gentle.
"Right here." The girl behind me finished. Hold on, right here? I spun around to find Mimi's amber eyes staring right into mine. C-can this be true? O-oh my Lord! Thank God! I just managed to open my mouth but no words came out of it.
"W-What are you doing here, Mimi? I-I thought-" I managed to babble after I partially recovered from the shock. She giggled a little bit and I realized who silly I must have looked and sound.
"You still owe me a chocolate cake, remember?" She joked with her usual spark back in her eyes. "When the other spirits heard what the guy said, they decided to help me and they formed a line kind of thing so I could hold on to them and reach back to Earth far enough where the wind can't control me. Then I realized the portal to the real world was open so I jumped in and I found my body falling. So I immediately went back in before I lost it again." Everyone other than me showed a confused look. They should be confused actually.
Without second thought, I pulled her into my arms and kissed her passionately and hungrily. I want her to know now that I love her with all my heart and will love her always. I think that told her the message. I know that they're all staring but I don't care what they think.
Then I heard T.K. say, "Why do older kids always do that?" Then I heard Izzy and Joe mimic a cough which actually really says, "Tai and Sora" Then Tai hit them on the back and they really began to choke cough. I smiled a little but didn't break away.
Then I heard Kari say, "Because that's what they do. We might do that when we're older." She blushed a little but Tai looked a little angry. Sora told him to calm down a bit.
I opened my eyes and looked at Mimi's closed eyes. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Tai say to Sora, "To tell you the truth, I don't get it either."
Sora plainly wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a little peck on the cheek. "Don't worry, Tai, everything's perfect. Just perfect." And I completely agree with her...
