Part 14
"AngeMerwoman digivolve to Titania!" Her rich creamy skin and long flowing night colored hair, streaked with deep sea blue highlights. You could even see the entire ocean in her eyes. A white light pulsated around her. She wore a long dress matching the color of her eyes, and the ocean. Little silver Grecian sandals hugged her feet snugly.
"A humanoid Digimon?" asked Kari.
"So that means that Mercuria is also at her royal stage. Wow," Izzy said in awe, as he took his laptop out. "Wow, it says here that the royal stage can only be achieved by a few Digimon. It is the rarest stage of them all and is also called the Humanoid stage. This stage requires a lot of energy, and if Titania is not careful, she could die! Her attacks are Raging Surf, Oceanic Descent, and Maiden's Finale. The last one is her most powerful attack." Izzy took a breath and continued, "It also says that any Digimon in the royal stage can only be defeated if they use up their energy, including their life force."
Asia's eyes were now wide open. She was still glowing, but now she was floating higher. Then in one blinding light, Asia shut her eyes and shot a beam of her energy at Titania.
"Asia, I can feel your energy. Thank you, but please don't drain yourself too much," Titania said in a light heavenly voice. She then turned to the enemy. "You have caused harm to many. Now suffer the consequences."
UltiMagikmon said, "Well if I can't defeat you, then I'll do as much damage as possible on my turf."
Suddenly, in one great big flash of light, they were transported in the same exact position they were in when they were on Earth. Asia was still floating with her eyes closed and Titania was still facing UltiMagikmon.
A tall and dark foreboding castle stood up daringly, behind UltiMagikmon. It's very presence brought nightmares to one's heart. A few lifeless trees were scattered around the castle. Behind the Digidestined there stood the lush forests, proud and happy.
Everyone was filled with shock and disbelief. One minute they were on Earth, the next minute…they were standing within a mile of the Dark Tyrants' castle.
**********************************
Mercuria immediately left the Temple of Destiny. She reached her destination with no trouble. "Gennai! Piximon!" she called, as she entered the Digimanor.
Gennai rushed down the stairs while Piximon rushed out of the kitchen. "You felt it too?" they asked together.
She nodded. "The miracle happened, just as predicted by the Ancients. AngeMerwoman digivolved to Titania, the royal stage. And if she's not careful she'll disappear forever."
Piximon frowned. "Didn't the Ancients say that one female Digimon will have to sacrifice herself and possibly endanger her partner to defeat the Dark Tyrants?"
Gennai also frowned. "Yes. They also said that nine others will fall afterwards when it comes down to the final show."
Mercuria nodded again and sighed. "The Ancients' prophecy of this battle also said that with the fall of half of the Digimon and Digidestined, meaning ten of them, a miraculous unity of spirit will cause the remaining ten to persevere."
"Yes! The female that will sacrifice herself will be Titania and the nine that will fall will be the other Digimon," Piximon exclaimed.
"Which means that the unity will be the Digimon's spirit giving up their life-force to their partners. And after that, their spirits will forever be spirits and never return to be live Digimon again," Mercuria said.
"It's a good thing that we didn't tell the others about their Digimon. I only hope they will become stronger when their partners are gone," Gennai said.
"Well, they'll handle it. It might take time though," Piximon replied.
Mercuria smiled. "They weren't chosen for nothing." Suddenly her smile faded. "Did you hear that?"
"Yes," Piximon replied.
"They're back from Earth," Gennai said.
"Good it's about time. A lot has passed since then, and Darkenmon has become much stronger and will digivolve anyday now to his mega form. In fact, it'll be hard for them to even beat his dark servant," Piximon said grimly.
**********************************
"Now, a fight to the finish, with me succeeding," UltiMagikmon declared with newfound confidence.
"We'll see about that," Titania replied. "Raging Surf!" A blue energy gathered in back of her and took on the shape of a giant wave.
As the attack crept closer, UltiMagikmon fired his most powerful attack of crimson energy. "Crimson Rage!"
The two attacks clashed! After a few minutes, Asia started to glow brighter. It looks like living at the Japanese temple that her family owned paid off. She had learned that anything could be accomplished through the power of the mind. With this in mind, she thought more about everyone that was hurt. She kept this in mind as she gave more of her energy to Titania.
"Thank you Asia." Titania smiled. "It looks like your time is up." With Asia's energy coursing through her veins, her attack began to overtake UltiMagikmon's. He screamed in pain as he was hit.
"I'm not finished yet. See, I'm still standing here," He replied, and then turned to Asia. "Time to cut off the power supply."
"No! Asia!" everyone yelled. The Digimon also yelled, even though they couldn't move their arms or legs. It seems like UltiMagikmon is weakening.
"Crimson Rage!"
"Oceanic Descent!" A blue stream of energy in the shape of waves met the Crimson Rage and stopped it.
Then before UltiMagikmon could fire another attack, Titania began to give off a bright golden light.
The other Digimon de-digivolved
"No! Titania don't! You could use up all of your energy!" Izzy warned.
"I am sorry, but this is truly the only way to win. Asia, I can feel your energy increasing," Titania proclaimed.
Asia was about to protest, but was cut off by Titania saying, "Don't say it Asia. You know it's the only way. If I just keep using the other attacks I'll end up weakening you even more." The light around her intensified, and from that light she shot a twisted beam of white and gold energy swirled together, as she yelled, "Maiden's Finale!" The energy wrapped itself around him. When it disappeared, he was gone.
Titania de-digivolved back to Aquamon and fell out of the sky and into Asia's arms. She was still floating. "Thank you. You saved us."
"No it was you who saved us," countered Aquamon weakly. "You look exhausted."
"So do you. What you need is-" Asia was suddenly cut off by Aquamon shaking her head "no".
"Are you saying..." her voice trailed off as tears flew to her eyes.
The eyes of every Digimon and human began to dangerously water.
"I'm sorry I used up my energy and…Goodbye everyone. Bye Asia, I love you…and-I-I want you…to know that you're the best friend any Digimon could ask for."
"Noooooo! Please don't leave me," Asia cried desperately. Her tears slowly traveled a trail of despair down her cheeks.
"Don't worry Asia, I shall always be with you," Aquamon told her. She then started to disappear until a white ball of bright energy was left. It entered her in one blinding light.
Everyone gasped through their tears. They saw that Asia's hair was black, without the white flowers, and her eyes looked like the ocean itself, just like Titania's eyes. Her eyes rolled back as she fell from the sky. Izzy leapt up and caught the limp girl in his arms.
"Come on Asia, wake up," Izzy nudged.
Joe put his hand on his shoulder. "She'll be alright. She just exhausted herself too much."
"It's time to pay a visit to Gennai," Tai declared.
**************************************
Spiritmon watched from a safe distance. She then hurried back to her master to report the current status.
**************************************
"Welcome everyone," greeted Gennai.
"Looks like you all could use some rest," Piximon said.
Delia's eyes widened. "You all knew what would happen to Titania and Asia," she accused.
Mercuria nodded. "We didn't figure it out till you all returned to the Digiworld. We are deeply sorry about the loss. She gave up her life-force to Asia and sacrificed herself."
It was clear that everyone was clearly fatigued and tired.
***************************************
"So he has been eliminated?" asked a bone-chilling voice. "Hmmm…"
"Yes master," replied a female voice belonging to a Digimon that resembled a fox, but larger with a bluish-black color.
"Well he was obviously very weak," Darkenmon said. He resembled Piedmon, except he wore all black and a cape. His skin was red and his eyes were the color of night.
***************************************
Upstairs, the females were resting in Dreamland while the Digimon relaxed near a nearby lake. The boys were all downstairs sipping some coffee worriedly. And Gennai, Piximon, and Mercuria went to the Temple of Destiny.
The silence in the kitchen seemed to get louder till Izzy broke it. "I'm going upstairs to check on Asia."
The others stared at him curiously. Tk frowned. "Well does he like her or no?"
The others sighed at Tk's confusion. Joe got up after that and left to check on Mimi. Then Tai and Matt left shortly after that, leaving Tk to think. Izzy and Asia don't realize it yet, but…they are perfect for each other. They keep on challenging one another but refuse to give into their feelings that are starting to develop into more. Tk jumped up triumphantly. He looked around, noticing for the first time that everyone had left him. He also left and went upstairs to check on Kari.
***************************************
Izzy held the pale girl's hand. He had been sitting there for awhile now. Hmmm…he thought. She looks so fragile. Hard to believe she can be like that. "I don't get it," he said aloud. "She can be so infuriating…yet…there's something about her that makes you feel all warm on the inside. What is it about you?"
Asia could sense that someone was holding her hand.
He then saw her eyes began to flutter and heard her groan.
"Izzy? Is that you?" she asked, as her eyes slowly opened. She heard him reply softly. "Help me sit up," she whispered.
He did and was surprised to see how vulnerable she was. Her eyes began to water, as she said one word, "Aquamon". She then threw herself into Izzy's arms, showering him with tears.
For a minute he was so surprised that he didn't move. Then his instincts kicked in, and he put his arms around her, rubbing them up and down her back saying, "It's alright." He wondered why this felt so…so right.
Asia just let all of her frustration and sorrow out. She liked the feeling of Izzy's arms around her. It made her feel so safe and warm. Wait a sec, what am I doing? She then pushed Izzy away, embarrassed that she showed him her weak side.
Izzy let go of Asia, and watched as she wiped away her tears and avoided his eyes. He suddenly hated seeing her so shattered. He had to fight the urge to kiss her.
Asia refused to look Izzy in the eyes, for fear that he would know exactly how she felt.
Izzy felt a mix of emotions as he got up. "I'll see you later. I'm going to take a walk and clear my head."
She stared at him intensely as he left and shut the door. "What is it about him?" she asked herself.
***************************************
Tai kissed Sora on the lips lightly, waking her up with a smile. He stared at her with adoration as she slowly opened her eyes. "Welcome to the living," he teased.
"Very funny," she said, throwing a pillow at her. Of course, he caught it, and within minutes they were engaged in a pillow fight.
After five minutes of intense pillow fighting, Tai accidentally tripped and fell onto the floor on his back. "Ow!"
Sora walked over to him and bent down. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern. She noticed his mischievous smile but ignored it.
"Well…" he began. He then pulled her down, causing a scream to escape her lips.
"Tai!" She struggled for a minute until she somehow ended up on the bottom.
Tai grinned his famous Kamiya grin as he looked down at Sora. "I kind of like you this way."
She was about to protest but was suddenly stopped by a kiss. It quickly grew deeper and deeper. Soon, she felt her lips being urged apart until his tongue teased hers in a hot tingling sensation of fireworks.
He loved the taste of her, and deepened his kiss, causing his lovely maiden to become dizzy. He also felt a little lightheaded from Sora.
Suddenly the door burst open, to reveal Matt, Joe, Delia, and Mimi. "Ahem." Matt said loudly.
Tai immediately turned red as he got up and helped Sora up.
*Way to go Sora* she heard Mimi say.
*You go girl!* Delia also exclaimed.
"Now I know why Sora screamed," Matt said slyly.
This caused a blush to settle in Sora's cheeks.
Tai frowned. "Okay people out. There's nothing to see here."

Okay that is it for now. I hope you liked it. I threw in some romance in the end.
