Inori no Asa; Part 4
By Shamanic Nuriko
Darkness...Evil...Pain...Death...All these words came to Sora's mind when she saw the inside of the castle. Birdamon became Biyomon once more, staying at Sora's side as a faithful dog would stay at his master's side.
"Sora...do you think we'll find something here?" Biyomon asked, her voice a bit higher than usual. It was filled with fear. The cobwebs and misty scent left monsters to dance in her imagination. Mustering up any courage she had, Biyomon left Sora's side to check the different doors, only to find closets filled with different clothes.
"I think so...A little pony told me," Sora joked, trying to lighten the mood. It didn't help, only letting a small smile from her pink friend. Sora searched through different doors, finding clothes and more clothes. Gee, Mimi would love this place, she thought, getting discouraged after each creak of the opening.
Biyomon came to the last door on her side, and opened it. More clothes. Biyomon sighed, failing to do her part. She went to go tell Sora that nothing was found, and nothing was gained. Suddenly, a tile gave out and the bird-like Digimon fell towards the modern-dressed Digimon.
"Biyomon?" Sora called out, after not getting responses from her friend. She became scared. Did she leave? Is she hurt? Sora ran to where Biyomon was and saw nothing. Sora gained more fear. What could have happened? Why did Osharemon hate her, and only her? Was it just something stupid? Sora kept walking involuntary, her thoughts still racing in her head.
The red haired digidestined fell down, as her partner did, and landed. She sat up, her muscles ached, but she couldn't let that get the best of her. Her eyes widened as she saw a horrible sight; Biyomon, an unconscious Matt, and an unconscious Gabumon were tied up, Dasaimon seemed to be in a trance, bowing to her sister whom sat on a large, fluffed pillow, her expression was vicious and sadistic. Matt and Gabumon looked like they were whipped, and she could tell they were.
Matt began to awake, and he looked towards Sora. His eyes looked hurt, but filled with some strength. These eyes made Sora's eyes water. "Sora..." he whispered, his voice cracking. "...good to see you again," he smiled. Sora couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
"Osharemon, why did you do this?" Sora yelled, her voice demanding for an answer. Osharemon just snickered, and stood up, walking towards the Mistress of Love.
"Why its simple my dear...its because I saw how you got along with everyone else, caring for them as if they were your own siblings, or kids, so I just needed to see you in pain. I cared once as well, but all it got me was dead, and you being happy made me sick! Now, it's time to see the real fun! Swirling Stars!" Osharemon called out, as stars attacked Sora.
She was hit everytime, her clothing being torn. Osharemon repeated the phrase and Sora was hit again, cuts and bruises forming on her body. Matt stared at the sight, shock taking over. Biyomon just turned away, unable to watch her best friend being tormented.
Osharemon finally stopped, her energy running out, and her curiosity reaching its peak. "Why...why didn't you dodge the attacks or something?" Osharemon asked, fear beginning to appear in her voice.
"I didn't dodge because...I don't have a reason to dodge. I know someone is making you do this, and you need to realize it," Sora cried out. Osharemon took a step back, and her expression changed.
...From sadistic to caring...
Suddenly, Osharemon looked caring. Dasaimon came out from her trance. "Sister!" She shouted. She was crying, happy for the arrival of her lost sibling.
"Sora...thank you...Devimon did this to me...but this curse still haunts me..." She began, suddenly slumping down in pain. Dasaimon came to her aid, but it was in vain. "Sora...please...kill me...it's the only way to free me," she sobbed.
Sora looked down. In her heart of hearts, she knew it was true. Sora gathered her courage and called out," Biyomon! Digivolve!"
Biyomon started to glow red. She felt strange. This wasn't a normal digivolution, and she could feel the chains breaking free from her. "Biyomon, Warp-Digivolve to...Phoenixmon!" Phoenixmon was a beautiful digimon. Her wings were like embers of fire, her tail feathers like rays from the sun, and her eyes were orbs of rubies. The phoenix looked at Osharemon, the orbs glowing with pity. "Osharemon...forgive me..."
"Don't worry Phoenixmon, this is my decision," Osharemon deciding and stood, accepting her destiny. Matt was speechless, as Gabumon still did not regain consciousness.
Phoenixmon flapped her wings and rose to the sky. Her radiance surpassed her, and everyone was too amazed to even remember she was about to attack. She flapped her wings harder, creating a whirlpool of wind. Glittering stars were brought up in this twister as it grew bigger and faster. Then, Phoenixmon clapped her wings together and shouted, "Star Wind!"
The attack hit Osharemon dead on. Soon, the winds died down, and Osharemon was kneeling down, as if she were praying. Phoenixmon went back to her original form, Biyomon, and Dasaimon ran to her sister.
"Sis, are you okay? Sister?" The younger one asked. Osharemon looked at her sibling and smiled. In a while, this was the first time Dasaimon saw happiness in her sister's face.
"Don't worry about me. This is what I deserved. I'll be coming back. Just check the nursery, since I will be there soon. Then you'll be the older sister, right?" Osharemon comforted, making her sister giggle a bit. She then started to disappear. As she did, the chains and shackles her prisoners wore were gone. "I guess this is see ya soon, sister." She then disappeared.
Dasaimon cried a bit, but not too much. Her sister would be back. Digimon don't die, they just come back refigured, and it would be nice to be an older siblings for a change.
Sora put a reassuring hand on Dasaimon's back. "She is right, and then everything will be okay," Sora whimpered. The horse Digimon nodded. Sora then remembered about Matt and ran to him. "Matt, are you okay?" Sora asked, hugging him. Matt smiled, hugging Sora back.
"I'm fine Sora, don't worry. Sorry to make you cry and worry," he apologized. Sora just nodded, happy to be embracing him. She looked into his face and saw he felt bad in the pool of blue eyes. Sora giggled a bit and blushed.
"It's alright, it wasn't your fault," She said. Matt's smiled grew and he kissed Sora on the forehead. Sora blushed even more as she notice Matt turning red. "Matt..."
"Sorry," he apologized again, but it didn't matter. Sora was happy that Matt seemed to like her. She gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"It's alright. Now, we should get going before everyone starts to worry, okay?" Sora winked. Matt laughed a bit.
"Alright, love." The two giggled and laughed as Dasaimon watched them. The Mistress of Love and the Master of Friendship have won, and she was happy for them both. She knew they would be together forever.
Biyomon walked over to Gabumon and started to shake him. "Gabumon, get up," she called. Gabumon rolled over and waved his paw.
"Not now, I found the lost Digi City and I'm about to be named a hero," Gabumon said. He was still asleep, and must have been having some great dream. Biyomon just sighed and tried to wake up her friend, thinking of a way to do it without the use of her attack.
