Destiny Uncovered-Part 5
Delia and Sora looked at each other. "Sora, when the chandelier fell, you held it up with your mind, right?" Delia asked. As Sora nodded she asked, "What kind of powers do you have?"
Sora looked at Delia and said, "I think I should start at the beginning. When I turned sixteen, I found out I had magical powers. I could move things with my mind, heal people, and release a psychic beam by concentrating. That last one is hard to do. When I told my mom, she told me that she was a witch too. I haven't told anyone else about my powers. She gave me a spellbook. The only problem was that it was the bottom half. She told me that her sister has the top half."
Delia looked startled. "I too, have half of a spellbook. Sora in the kitchen, you weren't frozen in place. Does that mean that you're my…"
As the girls stared at each other, Piximon intervened. "Yes, you two are sisters. And very powerful witches. The Temple of Destiny will unlock your full potential. Both of you posses the strongest powers, so beware of the Dark Tyrants. They will be after the Angelics, but you two are the primary targets."
Gennai turned to them, "You are dismissed after you have a chance to talk things over. I'll leave some blankets and pillows for you in the living room. After all, it's not everyday you are reunited with a loved one."
*********************
Delia and Sora headed to the living room to talk. They sat on separate ends of the couch and covered themselves with the blankets left by Gennai. They faced each other.
"Delia, did you read my mind earlier today?" Sora asked.
"Yes, and you read mine. Then does that mean we can communicate telepathically?" Delia asked.
"Well, let's try," Sora replied. They closed their eyes and in her mind, Sora said, "Many years ago, I met a young girl who looked like me. It was you wasn't it?" She opened her eyes in surprise as she heard Delia reply, "Yes. That would explain the familiar feeling I got around you."
Delia also opened her eyes. "It worked. Wow."
Before long, they began to talk excitedly, catching up on all the long years they have missed.
*****************
In the morning, Mimi and Kari walked down to the dining room. Mimi giggled as Kari kept pulling her black shorts down. Mimi thought that Kari looked cute with shorts and a light pink tee. Mimi looked down at her outfit of khakis and pink tank top.
Right before they reached there, they discovered Delia and Sora sleeping on opposite ends of a coach. They gently woke the two up.
In the bathroom, Delia and Sora got ready for breakfast. They giggled as they let their minds bring them the things they needed to get ready.
When they walked to the dining room, everyone had already started eating. Both girls wore jeans and light blue tank tops. Their hair was in two braids.
As everyone finished up, Gennai told them that Delia and Sora had something very important to say. As they stood up, they quickly exchanged comforting words, telepathically.
"I don't know how the others will take to the news of me having powers. I can't do this," Sora thought.
"Yes you can. You have to. Besides you're strong," Delia replied.
With a deep breath, Sora turned to everyone and said, "Last night, Delia and I found out that we're sisters. Both of us have powers." She went on to explaining her powers and why all the accidents that occurred did not hurt them.
Mimi looked at her hurt. "I'm your bestfriend and you never told me…that-that you-you're a-a-witch!" She looked at Sora as if she had the plague.
"Mimi, I'm sorry-" Sora was cut off by Tai.
"How can you not tell us? Never mind, it doesn't matter," Tai said in an emotionless voice.
Izzy spoke up in a monotonous tone. "As your body guards, we demand you do not hold back on important information such as that. Come, let us move on out."
Delia looked at the boys. They are so cold and mechanical. She looked at Sora in surprise when she heard her say, "I'll say!" Out loud, Delia said, "I forgot about that."
*************************
After saying goodbye to Piximon and Gennai, the nine Digidestined set out to the Temple of Destiny.
As they were walking, Sora and Delia were trying to piece together their family history. Mimi and Kari were quietly chatting. The boys were in the front of the two sisters, silently walking.
"Okay, so my mother and yours are sisters. And they both got impregnated by a jerk, our father," Sora said dryly.
"Yeah, we're half sisters. Both of us never met him. Thank God! He is still in jail, I hope. I just think it's so stupid that he's the reason our mothers haven't seen each other in years." Delia replied.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I felt awful when my mother told me to never reveal the truth. It is just so hard being a witch! You always have to be careful of hiding your powers. I mean if people ever found out we are witches, we would be in a lot of trouble. It was enough being a teenager with all those female problems, and on top of that, I had to learn how to control my powers! Always afraid of being discovered…" Sora said teary eyed.
Delia turned to her sympathetically, "Yeah I know. It is tough. I use to think, why can't I have a normal life?"
Everyone was silent as they listened to them talk.
******************************
Meanwhile, the Dark Tyrants looked at the mirror on the wall. It zoomed into the faces of Sora and Delia.
Darkenmon turned to the Tyrants. "Ah, the Angelics. They look so peaceful that I cannot wait to torture and destroy them. But, those two, we must weaken them! Even destroy them before their full power is released! Anyone have any ideas?"
Scornamon stepped forward with Psychikmon. The vampire-like Digimon showed his fangs, as he said, "I'll take care of them. Besides, I hunger for the taste of sweet blood. Psychikmon, is your army of Poisonmon ready?"
"Yes my lord. Ready and awaiting orders," he replied.
Scornamon released evil laughter as he said, "Excellent."
***************************
It was getting dark, so everyone decided to make camp. In no time, a campfire was built. The boys were still cold and silent. As for the girls, they were in a nearby waterfall leading into a stream.
"I'm sorry to get mad Sora. Please forgive me, I want to stay friends. I know it isn't your fault," Mimi said.
Sora faced her happily and said, "Thanks Mimi. I really appreciate it. You guys can go on ahead. I just want to stay here a little longer."
Delia looked concerned as she thought, "Are you sure?" Sora just nodded.
Kari turned to her and said, "Don't you two have ESP and your powers to protect you?"
Delia nodded her head in agreement, "I guess you're right. Don't be too long."
After they left, Sora suddenly had a wave of paranoia. Something is not right. She thought she heard her name being called. Sora hurriedly put on her clothes and ran to the path her friends had taken.
"Nooooooooooooo!" she screamed, as she saw the unconscious bodies of Mimi, Kari, and Delia. Before she had time to react, Scornamon floated right behind her. The hairs on her neck stood straight up. When she turned around to face him, she found that his eyes were holding her in place. They were so magnetic. She wanted to run, but couldn't. She could not help looking into his soothing eyes. She lost track of her surroundings and didn't protest as he lowered his fangs to her neck. A small prick was felt, and dizziness filled her head. She was weakening fast, and all she could do was think "help". Soon darkness swept in, as she felt herself slipping to the ground.
A cry of help awakened Delia. "Noooooooo! Sora!" she screamed as she got up slowly, and prepared to attack Scornamon. She concentrated on Scornamon, and within seconds, she threw him into a tree. As she collapsed, the last thing she heard was Scornamon retreating and saying, "I may not have killed you all, but I at least I have weakened the Enchantress and Sorceress! Ha, ha, ha! I'll be back for you Angelics!" Blackness filled her vision as she fell to the ground.
*************************
Tai, and the others heard screaming. They split up looking for the girls. He transformed into a warrior as he ran. His hand gripped the sword, ready for danger. Up ahead he heard evil laughter. He saw Delia throw him off Sora, and then collapse. When Scornamon saw Tai, he retreated. "Coward!" he yelled, as he ran over to Sora, and the others.
When Joe heard Scornamon's voice, he transformed and ran to the sound of it. He saw Tai trying to revive Sora and the others. Quickly he ran to Mimi, as Izzy, Tk, and Matt arrived. They lifted the girls and carried them back to the campsite, where Izzy tried to get in touch with Gennai. As Tai laid Sora on the ground, her crest shot a pink light that surrounded her. He looked to see her standing, very weakly.
She then closed her eyes and held out her hands in front of her. A strange light engulfed everyone and blinded them briefly. When it died down, the boys began to feel something. They had their emotions back! They stared in amazement at Sora. Then they her eyes roll back as the darkness over her vision again.
************************
Meanwhile, back at Scornamon's cave, he yelled, "Ah! Those bloody girls! Think they can get away from me that easily! If it wasn't for those warriors showing up! Psychikmon, step forward. Assemble your army of Poisonmon."
"Yes my lord. I'll have them ready for you by nightfall tomorrow."
"Perfect. The night is where my strength lies. We will attack when they are asleep. The darkness shall hide us," Scornamon said. Then he smiled at the thought of wasting them. "If we wasted the other Digidestined, then we can certainly waste them! Evil will triumph this time!"
**********************
Joe looked down at Delia. How could I have been so cold. Now she probably doesn't like me, just like Mimi. He sighed as he gently touched her face. He pulled back quickly as he heard her groan. He watched her face as he saw her eyes flutter.
As Delia opened her eyes, she saw two very concerned eyes staring at her. "You're alive!" exclaimed Joe. Immediately she was enveloped in a huge hug from Joe. Delia then looked down at her arms. She gasped as she saw no bruises on her. She pulled away from Joe and weakly got up to stare around. "Sora?" she asked Joe. He nodded silently.
As she heard Sora scream, she rushed to where Tai was holding her hand. She shivered slightly as she said, "She's weak isn't she? I can feel it." Tai sadly nodded.
Sora looked terrified as she kept tossing her head back and forth. "Noooooooooooo!" she screamed. Tai asked, "Delia, what's wrong with her? Why can't I wake her up?" Delia lied down near Sora and closed her eyes.
Mimi and Kari, who had awakened, walked weakly over to where Sora was laying. A small circle had formed around her. "Huh? What's wrong with her? What's Delia doing?" asked Mimi.
Izzy smiled knowingly as he replied, "She's trying to get inside her mind."
"So she's going to wake her up?" asked Kari.
"Precisely," answered Joe. "I guess we better be quiet so we don't distract her."
"Yeah, she needs to concentrate," added Matt.
*****************************
Delia concentrated so hard till she no longer heard the voices around her. Slowly she entered Sora's mind. It was dark, and she could hear someone yelling at something to get away from her. "Sora, where are you? I can help you! Sora! It's me Delia! Everyone is worried about you, even Tai. He's holding your hand and waiting for you to wake up. Come on Sora…Let me know where you are! Say something back, I can help you."
Sora vaguely heard her name. The voice sounded so familiar…Delia! She then weakly yelled, "Delia! I hear you! I'm on a cliff! My powers won't work! Oh no! Help!" Scornamon had her cornered on a cliff. She saw Delia sneak up behind her. Then Delia lifted a giant rock over her head and slammed it down onto Scornamon's head, making him collapse. "Delia!" she cried as she hugged her sister. "I couldn't move anything or him! It was like the nightmare I had back at the mansion."
Delia looked thoughtful for a moment and then said, "Well give me your hand. Let's try together." Immediately Scornamon was lifted into the air and thrown off the cliff.
"We did it! Oh Sora, at least I know for sure that you are going to be alright. On the count of three, we'll both open our eyes. One…Two…Three!" Delia said. She opened her eyes the same time as Sora.
*****************************
"It was awful! Scornamon was after me again!" Sora looked weakly at everyone who hugged her. "Thanks Delia." Finally, she was enveloped in a tight hug from Tai. "Oh Sora," he began, "I was so worried about you. I thought I was going to lose you." Before she knew what was happening, she was pulled into a breathtaking kiss. She went limp as he kissed her. Hmmm…forgot about what he does to me. She felt his arms support her as her arms circled his neck.
As she heard an, "Ahem," from Izzy, she pulled away from Tai. The two blushed as everyone laughed and made jokes about their kiss. She struggled to get up. "Sora, where are you going? You need rest." Tai asked. He shook his head as he heard her say, "To the stream to wash my face."
"Well you can't go alone. Remember the warning Gennai gave us-" Delia was cut off by Tai.
Tai looked at Sora accusingly, "What warning?"
Sora looked at everyone staring at her. "Gennai and Piximon just told Delia and me to beware of the Dark Tyrants, because we're the targets."
Delia said, "Well then I'll come with you. Besides I could use a bath."
"You know, come to think of it, I could use a refresher," Mimi said. She turned to Kari and Delia, "So are you coming too Kari? We can even take a relaxing bath." She smiled at the protests from the boys and the nods from the girls.
Matt stepped forward and lightly grabbed Mimi's arm. "I don't think you should go. You could get hurt again."
Mimi looked slightly annoyed, and said, "Matt, you have to stop being so protective! And would you just cool off for once?"
Joe stepped forward, "Yeah, they'll be fine. I have confidence in her. Besides Matt, you need to give her some space."
"Thanks for you vote of confidence Joe." Mimi smiled charmingly at Joe, as Matt silently scowled at him.
Delia grabbed Sora and pulled her out from Tai's reluctant grip. "Then it's settled. Let's go. Oh don't worry, we won't be too long, and we'll scream if we need help." And with that, they were off.
Matt shook his head as he said, "Another bath! And in the middle of the night too!" Everyone laughed. Matt stood there watching the girls leave. She is so great and pretty, Matt thought. What am I saying? I'm with Mimi. How can I like her? Still, there's something about her...And Mimi…doesn't seem to understand me…
"Hey Matt," Tai said, scaring Matt out of his thoughts. Tai laughed at his friend's expression. "You know they're not here, they just left. So, why are you still standing here? Off on planet Mimi, or another planet?" asked Tai. He had noticed the looks he gave her.
"Well…umm…I-I-think I'm beginning to like Delia. But I don't want to tell Mimi that," Matt said. –sigh- How can I like both?
"Well Matt, we haven't exactly been caring to them. Remember how cold we were. I think it hurt them. Anyway, whst?" asked Tai.
Matt sighed again and said, "I know. Man I need to talk to Mimi. Sometimes I wonder if she really likes me or not. I caught her and Joe staring at each other quite a few times."
"Matt is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Matt blushed and then said, "Listen Tai, don't take this the wrong way but, I like Sora too…But don't worry about me…You have nothing to worry about."
Tai turned to Matt with a cold look in his eyes. "You better not give me anything to worry about."
*****************************
At the stream, they were all under the mini waterfall.
"I feel like new," asked Kari.
"Yeah same here," agreed Mimi. She looked thoughtfully at a flower near the stream. How do I tell Matt that I think I am falling for Joe?
"Hello, Earth to Mimi," said Sora. "Okay what's up? Something has you thinking a lot." She saw Mimi blush. Kari and Delia came up behind Sora.
Mimi looked at the inquiring faces. -sigh- "Well…it's just that…I…think I don't like Matt as much as I thought. And when he was so cold to me…."
"There's something else too, isn't there?" asked Sora.
Mimi looked at Delia and then said, "I'm sorry Delia. But I…think I'm…falling for…Joe." She looked over at Delia to see her reaction.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, Mimi," Delia replied. "To tell you the truth I not only like Joe…but I like…Matt. But I think I like Matt more though," she confessed.
**********************
Back at camp, Izzy sat near Joe, who was picking the petals off of a flower. He saw Joe sigh. Hmm…wonder what's bothering him. "Hey Joe."
"Huh?" Joe said as he looked up.
"Alright Joe something's got you really quiet. Does it have something to do with a certain someone?" asked Izzy.
"Actually it involves two people. It is just that I like Mimi but she's with Matt. And I like Delia, but I like Mimi more. I've always had a crush on her." Joe confessed.
***************************************************************************************
In the morning, Izzy checked his computer for E-mail as everyone was getting ready to move out. "Here's a copy of the map Tai," he said as he handed it to their leader.
"Thanks Izzy." Tai replied. "Okay everyone, we better get a move on it. To the Temple of Destiny!" he said enthusiastically.
As they were walking, Matt decided to talk to Mimi. "Hey Mimi we need to talk. Let's walk in the back of this line."
"Okay Matt. I have something to tell you too," Mimi replied.
"Mimi, it's obvious that our little romance isn't going to last long. I've seen the way you look at Joe and the way he looks at you. I guess he still has a crush on you after all these years." Matt turned to Mimi, looking directly in her eyes.
"Matt. I-I agree. I hate to say it but I think your right. So, what if I like Joe! How about the way you look at Delia? Huh? It's no secret that she likes you! You want to get with her real badly…You know what? It's been fun while it lasted-" Mimi was cut off suddenly.
Matt became angrier by the second. "It's over Mimi. I really want to just be friends with you but it is obvious that you don't! So just stay out of my way! Don't even talk to me again!" he said harshly. He walked to the front of the line near Tai and Sora.
Tai started to ask him what happened as Sora left his side to go talk to Mimi. She needed comforting. She gave Mimi a hug. "What happened?" she asked gently.
With tears streaming down her face Mimi said, "It was awful! We broke up and he was so mean! I don't want to ever talk to him again."
By now, the whole group knew what happened. Joe walked up to Matt and said, "You didn't have to make her cry! I understand you broke up with her but-jeez! You really are insensitive!"
"Shut up Joe! You should be happy now. Mimi's single again. And what do you know!? She shouldn't have said-" Matt was cut off by Joe's body slamming into his. "What's that for?" Matt yelled back, outraged.
Soon the group had stopped. Matt and Joe were fighting on the ground. Sora ran up to them and yelled, "Stop this! We need to work together, not against each other!" The boys just ignored Sora.
"Take that you Girlfriend Stealer!" yelled Matt.
Joe punched him again and yelled, "At least I don't go around making the girls cry!"
"Stop it! You're going to hurt yourselves!" yelled Delia.
"Matt! Joe! Stop! Would somebody do something?!" Mimi yelled frantically.
Tai pulled Joe apart while Tk and Izzy pulled Matt away. Being the voice of reason, Sora stepped in the middle and looked at the two angrily. She then said, "Both of you apologize to each other!" After she heard Matt and Joe mutter a "no", she yelled back harshly, "Now! We'll just sit here till you guys talk things over. The world is at stake and all you guys can do is fight? Unbelievable!"
****************************
An hour later, Joe and Matt were laughing. Same with Mimi. She was her cheerful self again. Tai walked over to Sora and gave her a hug from behind her. "Well good job princess. Seems like some things never change. You'll always be the mediator." He then turned her around and cupped her face. He then bent down and brought his lips to hers. He kissed deeper and deeper, wanting to taste more. He held her up as he felt her go limp. Hmmm…love making her do that. When they finally pulled apart, they gazed at each other.
"Ahem. I hate to break up this little love fest, but we should get going," Izzy said. Immediately, Tai's and Sora's face became ten shades of red.
**********************
Psychikmon (she can shape shift. Her true form looks like a beast with large fangs) followed the traveling group of humans. She had shape-shifted into a human. She silently leapt from tree to tree. Now all I have to do is wait for them to take a break, and then my fun begins. Hmmm…Wonder what their powers are, she thought as she looked at Sora and Delia.
She heard the leader, Tai say, "Let's take a little break shall we. We can stop by that stream up ahead. Let's make three teams to go look for food. We can meet back in about a half in hour. So what do you say?"
"Tk, Kari, and Izzy can go catch fish. Matt and I can lead two groups to find food in opposite directions." Tai looked at Matt.
Delia and Sora said they'll go to the east and Matt quickly spoke up and said he'd also go in that direction, leaving Joe, Mimi, and Tai heading to the west.
Psychikmon grinned at the two groups walking into the forest. "Perfect," she whispered, as she noticed Tai giving Matt a suspicious stare.
************************
Matt was looking around. All of a sudden, he heard a twig snap. He turned around to see Sora. "Hey Sora. Where's Delia?"
"Oh, she's still looking for something edible. Matt, there's something I need to tell you." Sora replied.
Matt noticed something different about her eyes. "Well w-w-what is it?" he asked fearfully.
"I can't stand it any longer! Tai forced himself onto me! I told him to stop! I can't believe he did that to me." Sora broke down crying.
Matt said, "Stay here, while I go find Tai. Don't worry everything will be alright." He ran off angrily to where Tai was.
As she saw Matt disappear, her eyes began to glow red. "That's where you're wrong. Everything is far from alright. Ha ha ha! Now onto Tai."
*********************
As Tai was looking around for food, he heard a twig snap. "Oh Mimi, what's wrong?" He noticed her tear stained face.
"It's Matt. Tai, he forced himself onto me! I told him no, that I wasn't ready but he wouldn't stop!" Mimi said crying.
"What?! Matt did that! I can't believe it! How can he hurt his friends like that! Don't worry Mimi, I will take care of him. Stay here." Tai said. He took off running to the other side of the forest.
Mimi laughed evilly as she said, "My plan is working perfectly."
**********************
Delia and Sora called Matt's name. They couldn't find him anywhere. Delia spoke worriedly, "You don't think something happened to him, do you?"
"Let's hope not. Maybe he went back, let's check there." Sora replied.
********************
"Hey Joe, where's Tai?" Mimi asked.
"Good question. Maybe he went back. Though I don't know why he would do that." Joe replied.
As Mimi turned to go back, she accidentally tripped on a branch and fell. Joe reacted quickly and caught her. "Thanks Joe," she said blushing, as she looked up at him.
Joe stared down at her. He blushed as he said, "No problem Mimi. Umm…maybe we should get a move on it."
"Oh yeah, right. Good Idea," Mimi said nervously.
*********************
Tk, Kari, and Izzy were cooking the fish they caught. Out of no where, they heard two angry people shouting at each other. When Kari looked up, she saw Matt and Tai running to each other. They stopped in front of the fire. "What's going on?" she demanded.
Matt looked furiously at Tai, "How could you man? How could you hurt her?!"
Tai lunged at him, yelling, "Me? What about what you did to her, you jerk!"
As they wrestled violently on the ground, the others came back.
"Tai! Matt! What are you guys doing?!" screamed Sora and Delia in unison.
"Stop it! No more fighting! It's only delaying us!" yelled Mimi.
Suddenly, Tai and Matt were thrown backwards, away from each other. Delia and Sora stepped between them. "Now why are you guys fighting?!" Sora demanded.
Matt yelled at Tai, "Why did you hurt Sora?'
"Huh? I didn't hurt her. What about how you forced yourself on Mimi?" Tai yelled back.
"What are you talking about?" Mimi demanded.
"Have you guys gone mad?" Sora asked, confused.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on?" Kari asked.
"Well I'm officially confused," replied Tk.
"That makes two of us," Joe replied.
"Allow me to explain," said a voice from the trees. They gasped as they saw it was Sora.
"What? Who are you?" asked the real Sora.
"Hi Matt. I look just like the real thing, eh? You men are easily confused," said the fake Sora, as she transformed into Mimi. "Oh Tai! Matt was just horrible?" she cried. Then she transformed into her real form. "The name's Psychikmon."
Immediately the boys transformed into the Digiwarriors. "I don't care for these odds. Head my warning, I'll be back!" yelled Psychikmon as she transformed into a Bluebirdmon and flew away.
"Well that was odd," Tk said.
"You could say that again," replied Joe.
They all detransformed. "Let's eat this fish and get a move on it. You heard her warning. No hard feelings Matt," Tai said.
"Yeah, same here," he replied as he shook Tai's hand.
