Part 9:

This story is coming to a close! Three more parts to go!


Sora stared at Taichi, unsure of what to say. "You, you're blind?"

Taichi nodded,"I'm blind."

Hikari started to cry. "Don't worry," she said, holding her brother's shoulders,"It will be okay."

"No it won't!" he said,"I'm blind!"

"What happened?" Sora asked, keeping a cool head.

"I was fighting Myotismon," Taichi said,"and he placed his palms over my eyes and said something."

"Oh," Sora said, realived,"That's all?"

"What are you talking about?" Taichi and Hikari said at the same time.

"Listen," Sora said,"It was obviously a magic spell that Myotismon used on you! All we need to do is get back to Heighten View Terrace and get Koushiro to cast a counter-spell!"

Hikari stared to smile, but Taichi shook his head. "No, that won't work. Koushiro doesn't practice healing magic."

"Then we will get Yolei, or even Genai, anyone to cure you!" Sora said.

Taichi started to smile. "Yes, it will be okay."

Suddenly, a hawk squawked above them. Taichi turned to the sound and instinctively opened his eyelids. He screamed out in pain.

"What is it?" Hikari asked.

"I..I tried to open my eyelids, but I couldn't."

"That's the spell then," Sora said,"You're not blind, you are just unable to open your eyelids, its a curse!"

She walked over and pulled Hikari's scarf away from her head. She tied it around Taichi's eyes. "If you continue to open your eyes, you might do serious damage to them. So this will keep you from opening them."

Taichi reluctantly agreed. "Okay, let's go."

They helped Taichi to his feet and they started the long walk to Heighten View Terrace.

Heighten View Terrace, was, unfortunately, under siege by the Digital Land. Thousands of Digimon were invading the city. They were slaughtering the people and annihilating the property. Fires were everywhere, people were dyeing in the street, the screams could be heard for miles away. It seemed like the end of the world.

Cody, and Joe had joined Ken, Koushiro, Yolei, Yamato, and Takeru in the throne room to discuss their strategy.

"We need to do something!" Yamato nearly yelled,"They are destroying my kingdom and killing my people!"

"We will," Cody said, keeping calm,"but we need a plan of attack."

Ken stepped forward,"From what I've seen, it appears that they half four different armies, one lead by Myotismon, one lead by a Digimon called Metalseadramon, another one lead by Machinedramon and the last lead by Piedmon. Every one of these Digimon appear to be at their evolutionary peak, something they call a 'Mega' Stage. Myotismon isn't though."

"Their objective seems to be the temple," Yolei said.

"We can't worry about that now," Takeru said,"We need to think of a way to defeat them."

Cody thought for a moment,"Okay, here is what we're going to do. Ken, you take Yolei, Yamato and Takeru to the temple. If we fail, it will be up to you to defend them. The rest of us will take the Digimon Army."

"Right!"


Taichi felt totally helpless. He was blindfolded, holding onto Sora while they were riding their horse. Hikari was behind them on her own. They were going at a fair pace when there was a giant explosion directly in front of them, throwing them off their horses.

"What is it?" Taichi asked.

"Trouble!" Hikari said.

Standing, or rather, floating in front of them was a hood and robe with a scythe. "I am Phantomon," he said,"Lord Myotismon requests that you do not make it back to Heighten View Terrace."

He raised his scythe and slashed down. Sora had to push Taichi out of the way.

Taichi stood up, taking out his sword,"Where are you, you coward!" he said.

"Taichi!" Sora shouted,"What do you think you're doing?"

"Fighting!" he said, swinging his sword at an unknown direction.

Phantomon almost laughed. He swung his scythe at Taichi. Sora had to once again push Taichi out of harm's way. Taichi sword went flying out of his hand. Hikari picked it up and ran towards Phantomon. "I've seen Taichi use this a million times, how hard can it be?"

Phantomon swung his scythe, Hikari lifted her sword. She did block Phantomon's attack, but he was stronger than she was, and flung her to the side.

"This is it," Sora thought, closing her eyes.

Just then, another figure dropped from the sky. He was standing straight up, dressed in armor with a shield on his back.

"Terra Force!" he cried, blasting Phantomon away.

"What happened?" Taichi asked,"What's going on out there?"

"We-we've just been saved,"Sora said,"But is it so he can destroy us?"

The figure walked over to them,"Taichi Kamiya?" he asked.

"Yes," Taichi said, as Sora and Hikari helped him to his feet,"Who are you?"

"My name is Wargreymon and I'm here to help."

"Who?"

"Unimon told me of you," Wargreymon said,"So, I came to help."

"Just you?" Hikari asked.

"No," a voice said,"Wargreymon just tends to rush into things without us, but we still love him!"

Sora and Hikari watched as seven other figures dropped from the sky.

"These are my men," Wargreymon said,"This is Metalgarurumon, Garudamon, Digmon, Lillymon, Zudomon and Angewomon."

"Wow," was all Sora could think of saying.

"Arg!" Taichi said,"I wish I could see what was happening!"

"You're blind?" Lillymon asked.

"Its a curse," Hikari explained,"put on him by Myotismon. We need to get him back to Heighten View Terrace where a healer named Yolei can cure him."

Metalgarurumon nodded,"You three can ride on my back. We can get there faster than you could on foot."

Sora and Hikari helped Taichi onto Metalgarurumon's back. "Now hold tight," he said as he followed the others towards the city.
