Part 6

It was starting to get dark, so the Digidestined decided to make camp. Izzy went to check his E-mail and watch the camp as Tai, Matt, Sora, and Delia went to find some fruits while Joe and Mimi were fishing. Tk and Kari went to find firewood.

Tai and Sora had gone looking in one direction while Matt and Delia were looking in the opposite direction.

There was silence for awhile, till Matt broke it. "Man," he began. "I sure hope Tai and Sora are doing a better job at finding fruit."

"Yeah I know. At this rate, it'll be morning before we find anything," Delia replied. -sigh- Does he have to look that good!

Come on Matt, have courage. "Ummm…Delia, can I ask you a question?" Once he saw her nod, he took a deep breath and continued, "Do you like Joe?"

"Not really. I like him, but…never mind." She saw how he looked relieved. "And why do you look so relieved? Wait a minute, you don't…do you?"

His face reddened as he stuttered, "Well, ummm….I-I...kind of-" He cut himself off as he said, "Oh look, I think I see some fruit up ahead." He soon broke off into a run.

"Matt! Come back here! You didn't answer my question!" Delia yelled, as she ran after him.

********************************************************

By now, a campfire was going and fish was being cooked. Everyone sat around the campfire and waited for Matt and Delia to come back.

"It's been too long," said Tk.

"Yeah I'm getting worried. Maybe some thing happened. I think we should split up and go look for them," Izzy said.

"No! You guys, it's all right. They're okay. If something bad did happen, then I would know," Sora replied.

All of a sudden, they heard giggles coming their way. Everyone turned their heads as they saw Delia and Matt carrying some fruit.

"Jeez what took you guys so long?" Tai demanded. "We've been waiting for you to start eating. What took you guys so long?"

"Yeah we were getting worried," Joe spoke up.

Sora looked at Delia's happy face, as she put the fruit they found, next to Tai and Sora's pile. *Delia, what took you guys so long? Did something happen between you and Matt*

*Yeah* Delia thought, as she looked at Sora. *Guess we should let everyone know, huh?*

*************************************************************

Scornamon looked down from a tree at the nine humans. "That's right, hurry up and sleep. The sooner the better, for me. I'll wait till only one person is up." He smiled evilly as he looked at them.

*************************************************************

Sora and Delia looked at each other as they saw something move in the trees. *Did you see that?*

*Yes. I can see the outlines of several figures in the tree. There look to be about twenty. We'd better tell the others* Delia saw Sora nod and go off to Tai. Delia went to Matt and whispered what she saw.

Matt went to where Joe and Mimi were talking. In the sand, he wrote what Delia had saw and whispered to them to act like there's nothing wrong and pretend to go to sleep. Tai did the same with Izzy, Tk, and Kari.

Tai looked at everyone's suddenly tired faces. He yawned too and then asked, "So who wants to keep watch first?" He held back a smile as their plan started to fall in place.

"I'll stand watch first," replied Delia.

Matt stepped forward and frowned. "You know, I'm not that tired. I could stand watch with you. What if there are bad Digimon out there?"

"Oh Matt, I can take care of myself. Besides, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. I'll be fine. Goodnight." Delia gave him a quick kiss.

*******************************************************

"Oh but that's not entirely true my pretty," whispered Scornamon. He watched as they all started to nod. He waited and waited. He wanted to make sure they were asleep. He noticed that Delia was having a hard time staying awake. Scornamon just sat there silently waiting. Slowly, he saw her give in and fall asleep.

Perfect, he thought. Nothing can get in my way this time. "Psychikmon, get your Digimon ready. We attack on my command," he whispered to his faithful servant. Man have I got her wrapped around my finger.

"Yes my lord. Consider it done," she replied. She was eager to please him. Hurriedly she went around to her army.

*********************************************************

*Now!* Sora looked at Delia. Quickly Tai threw some fireballs around while Joe sprayed them with his water attack. White mist appeared around the camp area. Everyone quickly hid. By now, the boys had transformed into the Digiwarriors.

"What? Where did those brats go? My lord, I cannot see them anywhere," Psychikmon said. She frowned at the white mist around her.

"Keep your guard up! I guess they somehow knew of our plan and are ready for us!" Scornamon told her.

"Ahhhh!" yelled a Poisonmon, as he was struck with a fireball. Another one was shot at by a green laser. More and more Posionmon started to be attacked. "It's those Digiwarriors!" one of them cried.

Psychikmon flew in the middle of the camp and transformed into a Windramon (looks exactly like Birdramon, except it was all blue). She flapped her wings. The wind pushed away the mist, hiding the humans. She detransformed and grinned at Scornamon.

He looked at her and smiled back. "Very good beautiful." He laughed at the nine gaping faces. "My, my, my…you all don't look happy to see me."

"I'm warning you! You'd better get out before it's too late. This is your last chance," Tai said bravely as he stepped forward.

The eleven remaining Poisonmon formed a line in front of Psychikmon and Scornamon, as the Digiwarriors stood side by side with Tai. They drew their swords out and held it in front of them. "Attack and keep them busy!" Scornamon yelled.

Fireballs ripped through the air left and right. Damn! They're so quick! How am I ever going to hit them if they move so fast?

Joe shot a blast of water from his hands, slamming a Poisonmon into a tree. Enjoy the afterlife, he thought. "Joe watch out!" he heard Matt yell. Joe quickly looked over his shoulder and saw purple liquid coming his way. Immediately he dove to the side. He looked back to see where the venom landed. He saw it eat through a tree. "Duck!" Matt yelled. When he got up, he saw a green laser kill a Posionmon.

Tai used his agility to jump over a Poisonmon that had him cornered. Instantly he blasted it with a fireball.

Three Poisonmon were surrounding Izzy. He fired lightning at them but they easily dodged it. He gulped and held his sword tightly. As all three shot their venom, he jumped out of the way. They all died as their own venom ate through their skin. Never underestimate the power of the brain, he thought.

"Matt watch out!" cried Tk. Matt turned back and saw several green rings hit a Posionmon.

Fireballs and lightning flew about. Rings and lasers were zapped from the brothers' hands. Water blasted from Joe's hands. Venom squirted here and there.

Soon, the humans looked triumphantly around. "Hey! Where's Scornamon and Psychikmon?" Joe asked.

"The girls!" they yelled in unison.

*****************************************************

Meanwhile, Scornamon and Psychikmon looked around for the girls. "You can run, but you can't hide," taunted Scornamon.

"Your boyfriends can't save you now," she yelled.

"Wanna bet?" yelled Delia and Sora in unison. They quickly threw Psychikmon into a tree. Then they did the same to her master. Mimi and Kari came up beside the sisters.

"You insolent girls! How dare you hit my master!" yelled Psychikmon, as she got up and turned to Kari. "Psychic Thorn Blast!"

"Nooooooo!" yelled Kari. Her crest glowed brightly as she stood her ground. Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of her. The attack bounced off of her and hit Psychikmon, sending her unconscious against a tree. Wow! Did I do that?

At that moment, the boys arrived on the scene. They were amazed when they saw what happened. Then something else happened that made them more amazed.

Scornamon got up and looked at the fallen Digimon. "Black Time," he yelled, as he directed it at Mimi.

"Nooooooo!" she screamed as her crest glowed brightly. "Tear Blast!" A stream of blue tears was sent from her hands and into Scornamon, who was hit into Psychikmon. Mimi then fell to her knees. She looked in amazement at what she had done.

"My lord! My love! Please wake up!" Psychikmon desperately said. She stared at the perplexed faces and said, "You shall all pay for this! Psychic Boom!" A black light shot out from her head and engulfed her body. The light spread out and hit the Digiwarriors. They fell down unconscious. She turned to the girls. "Now experience my wrath! Psychic Thorn Blast!"

It was directed at the girls. They all jumped out of the way and were now away from each other. Kari looked in horror as another attack was aimed at her. Once again the light engulfed her, changing the direction of the attack.

This time, Psychikmon jumped out of the way and aimed an attack at Delia. "Delia!" yelled Sora, as she tried to reach her before the attack. Unfortunately, she got there too late. She looked to see the boys slowly waking up. To her left, she saw Mimi throw her Tear Blast.

Psychikmon was hit hard. She collapsed on the ground and looked to her master. Before she died, she said, "I'm sorry Master, I have failed you. I will always love you." Scornamon looked at her as she disappeared. "What a fool! Love! Ha! It's overly estimated."

Sora stood up with defiant eyes. She furiously turned to him and said, "Love is a beautiful thing. She loved you and you abused that! Now you will pay!" She bravely stepped forward and ignored Delia's protests. *Delia! You're awake I see. I have to do this! Everyone's weak!* She heard Delia, *Well let me help you. Hold onto my hand* They both closed their eyes and concentrated.

Everyone watched as a rainbow colored light shot out from Sora's head and engulfed the two. They watched as their eyes snapped open. Scornamon yelled "Black Time!" Sora took her hands and raised them above her head. The light around her gathered into one ball, resting in her hands. As the attack neared, she put her hands in front of her and released it. As their powers met, hers began to push Scornamon's Black Time. Soon it hit him. He screamed as he exploded. Sora stood standing for a minute after that. Then she fell unconscious, into Delia's hands. Delia too, collapsed after that.

Everyone ran up the sisters.

***********************************************

Meanwhile, the Dark Tyrants gathered. Darkenmon threw a glass across the room. "Those Digibrats will pay! They killed off Scornamon!"

Fiermon stepped forward. "Don't worry, I won't fail as Scornamon did. Unlike him, I won't underestimate them. Instead, I will watch and observe before attacking those brats! Rest assured that with me on the case, their heads will be delivered on silver platters in no time. Come Deceptmon!"

Magikmon looked as he left the room. "Let's hope he isn't the same fool as Scornamon."

"Yes, he better succeed. We have no room for failures." Darkenmon turned to his comrade.

***********************************************

The boys waited impatiently while Joe was checking the girls. "At this rate," Izzy said, "We'll never get to the Temple." Izzy went back to his computer.

"Ah! Guys! You all have your eye and hair color back!" Tk exclaimed.

"Huh?" replied everyone. They all went over to the stream near them and looked at their reflection. "Oh yeah, we do. I kind of liked green eyes," said Matt.

"Man, I was getting used to my eyes and now it changed!" Tk said.

Izzy looked thoughtful and then said, "I would definitely have preferred to have that stimulating shade." Everyone looked at each other and then replied, "Huh?" Izzy looked at the confused faces. "I mean I liked my violet eyes."

"Ohhh! I get it," they replied.

Tai then said, "Yeah I was getting use to my old look." Everyone stared at him. "What?"

"Ummm….Tai?" Matt said.

"What Matt?"

"Your hair and eye color never changed."

"Oh right." They all laughed at him.

"Ahem!" Everyone turned around to see Joe standing there. "They're all resting. They should be fine. A little rest won't hurt them."

"Well, we should take turns standing watch. I'll go first, then Matt, Tk, Joe, and Izzy."

*****************************************************

Fiermon observed them from far. So, he thought, that is the leader. Hmmm…I wonder just how powerful the Digiwarriors and Angelics are. A test is in order.

He then turned around and headed over to see his servant, Deceptmon. A fox-like Digimon greeted him.

''Deceptmon, I want you to keep a close eye on them and report to me every night, when they are asleep."

"Yes master."

"Good. Tomorrow, I shall send my two weakest Digimon to test their strengths and weaknesses. Now go, and I warn you, don't disappoint me."

*******************************************************

Izzy went around to wake everyone up. "Come on guys, its morning." He rolled his eyes at the groans he heard. Geez, what do I have to do to get them up? He saw Joe get up and walk to the stream. "Well at least someone got up. I can't wake them up."

Joe washed his face and turned to Izzy. "I have a way," replied Joe with a mischievous look. He walked over to the boys, placed near the girls. "Well, I shouldn't do it to Matt, especially if he still has that temper of his. And Tk…well…that leaves Tai. My turn to get him back at all the times he made fun of me in the Digiworld." He took careful aim at Tai's butt.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! I'm all wet!!!!!" screamed Tai, as he jumped up, waking the other two boys up. "Izzy! Joe! Why'd you do that?"

"Simple, we wanted to get back at you when we were younger and in the Digiworld. Plus-" Joe was cut off by Izzy. "We found it highly impossible to wake you up," finished Izzy.

Joe looked at them, "Well, we might as well get something to eat while they sleep. They need their rest."

*********************************************************

After everyone was awake and had some fruit, they all set off. Tai, Matt, and Tk were in the front of the line trying to hear the girls, Joe and Izzy were at the back of the line talking avidly about something, and Mimi, Kari, Sora, and Delia were in the middle chatting quietly. They walked under the hot sun.

It was coming into late afternoon. They had stopped for a rest, by Mimi's request.
