Part 18
"You fools, she's not dead," Darkenmon said scornfully. He looked at her sleeping form. He saw that her dark side was now gone and buried. She was back to her old self, except her wings were not present. He had transported her here.
"If I can't have her, then no one will! It's a pity that someone so young and powerful has to die." He stretched out his hands and fired a dark energy at her, but to his surprise, a bright light shot out from around her body allowing the light to absorb the attack. Suddenly the light started to harden into a casing of clear quartz to protect her.
"Damn it!" Suddenly a blue silvery light started to surround her. "What? What's going on?!"
"I'm afraid she's coming with me," said a silvery voice.
"No! Damn you Mercuria!"
And before he could attack her, she disappeared with Sora.
***************************************
"You mean she's still alive?" Piximon asked.
"Yes, actually that makes sense. Remember that Sora, the Enchantress, is going to save the Digiworld," Gennai said.
"But only if she lives. She has been severely weakened. I gave them the location of her body. I can only hope they can free her of that quartz casing and wake her up before it's too late," Mercuria said.
"Yeah, they're the Digidestined. They put a lot of sacrifice into saving this world for it to just crumble," Piximon added.
"Did you put her in the temple in the Glittering Mountains?" Gennai asked.
Mercuria nodded and added, "It's in the Enchanted Forest of the Musemon. I have given them the location."
***************************************
"My Dark Servant Spiritmon may be gone, but at least I still have Unimon and Whamon. They are perfect to carry out my plans. Too bad I didn't use that mind control device on Leomon. Oh well. I must pay a visit to them. I may not know where Mercuria hid Sora, but I do know that they're headed to the ocean," Darkenmon said.
***************************************
The aqua clear water gently caressed the soft white sand, as the sound of the ocean gently called to their ears.
"Well here we are," Gabumon declared.
"Isn't this gorgeous? I just wish that…she was here…" Delia's voice trailed off. Tears started to form in her delicate eyes.
Matt walked over to her and put his arm around her for support. "I know. We all miss her, but we just gotta stay positive and strong."
"Which means we'd better get a move on it. The sooner we go the sooner we reach her," Gatomon stated.
"Now we just need to call upon Mercuria's friend that lives in the ocean. What was the name again?" Tk asked.
"I do believe the name was Monstramon," Izzy replied.
"Hmmm…Now I remember. Monstramon is a legendary ancient Digimon. She looks like Seadramon, except her eyes are as calm as the ocean. She is a peaceful Digimon that lives in a cave underwater. I always thought that it was a myth but after Mercuria told us about her…She has been asleep for over a million digital years," Tentomon informed.
"Okay enough chit chat. Let's figure this out," Mimi said surprising everyone.
"Did I just hear Mimi right?" Matt asked.
"Oh lay off of her," Joe defended.
"Okay Mimi's right. Let's get going. Kari, do you still have that shell Mercuria gave us?" Tai asked.
"I do," Kari said.
"Mercuria said the only other person besides herself would have to be someone whose heart is as pure as light, nature as magical as a fairy, and soul as fresh as the dawn," Delia said.
"Well who could that be?" Kari asked as she lightly got out the shell.
"Hmmm…I hate riddles. Why did Mercuria not tell us?" Mimi frowned.
"We had to figure it out ourselves," Palmon said innocently.
"Yeah but how are we supposed to know," Agumon said.
"Maybe we could all take turns blowing into it," Gabumon said.
"Wouldn't that take to long?" asked Gomamon.
"Of course it would. What we need is another clue…" Gilamon's voice trailed off.
Everyone stood around thoughtfully. Everyone, but Kari that is. She saw something on the ground and walked over to it. It was a long white feather. "How pretty," she said as Gatomon ran over to her.
"Kari! What are you doing?" asked the cat-like Digimon. Everyone turned in their direction since Gatomon yelled rather than asked.
"This feather caught my eye. Isn't it pretty? Look at how it shimmers and sparkles. It's like magic," she replied. From the way she was standing, it looked like there was a light glow around her caused from the sun.
"Whose heart is as pure as light…" trailed Asia's voice.
"Nature as magical as a fairy…" Izzy trailed.
"And soul as fresh as the dawn," finished Tk.
A look of revelation passed over Izzy and Asia's face as they both exclaimed, "It's Kari!"
"What?" she asked, slightly confused.
"That makes sense," Gatomon said.
"Me?"
"Yeah, come on Kar. Give the shell a try. Blow into it," Tk said.
"Well…"
"Come on Kari. What do you have to lose?" reasoned Tai.
"Okay here goes nothing." The moment Kari blew into it, a beautiful sound lightly floated to the bottom of the ocean that lay in front of them.
Bubbles started to shake the water. Out came a graceful sea creature. It was all white, except for the eyes. She opened her mouth gracefully. "Who are you?"
"We're the Digidestined," Matt said.
"Who sent you?"
"Mercuria did," Kari said.
"Ah, you must be the one who woke me up. Well where's your destination?"
"To the Glittering Mountains in the Enchanted Forest of the Musemon," Tentomon said.
**********************************************
"Do you understand your mission?"
"Yes master."
"Good. Destroy them all. Do not permit them to leave this ocean."
**********************************************
"Oh no," Delia groaned.
"What's the matter?" Matt asked with concern.
"Is it something to do with Sora?" Gilamon asked.
Delia nodded grimly. "I can feel her getting weaker and weaker."
Tai was about to say something when they heard a growl.
"It's Whamon!" Tk said.
"Yeah and he doesn't look too happy," Joe stated worriedly.
**********************************************
Whamon smiled evilly and attacked his prey. He had to make his master happy or he would be literally crushed if he didn't follow through.
**********************************************
"NO. This isn't right," Kari said.
"Come on Whamon! You're on our side!" Agumon yelled.
Monstramon shot a white light at Whamon. "Remember who you are. Remember what you stand for. You would never hurt the innocent."
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!" screamed Whamon. A little red rectangular microchip flew out and dissolved as soon as it hit the water.
Whamon opened his mouth to say, "I am truly sorry Digidestined. It's great to see you all again. I can't believe I tried to destroy you."
"It's not your fault," Gomamon said.
"Wait a minute. Who are you three?" Whamon asked.
"I'm Delia and this is Gilamon, my Digimon."
"I'm Asia."
"Where's your Digimon?"
"She was a royal but used up her energy and sacrificed herself against UltiMagikmon," Asia replied quietly.
"Oh, I am deeply sorry. Hey, where's Sora and Biyomon?" Whamon asked.
"It's a long story. Maybe we should talk on our way," Delia said.
"Way? Where are you going?" he asked again.
Tai sighed at Whamon.
**********************************************
"What do you mean Unimon?"
Darkenmon started to feel annoyance and anger settle in. "I'm sorry master, but it was the light of that ancient Digimon Monstramon."
"I thought I took care of all of those blasted Ancients."
"You did, but no one could find her. Only a few selected beings can make her appear to them."
"Damn them again! Unimon, attack them when they're on land and away from Monstramon."
"Yes my lord."
**********************************************
"Thanks for everything Monstramon," Mimi said.
"Don't mention it. Tell Mercuria that I said hello," she replied.
"We will," Gilamon said.
"Bye Monstramon!" Everyone waved until they no longer saw the graceful sea Digimon.
**********************************************
Now is the perfect time to attack those Digidestined brats, Unimon thought. "I think I'll start with that Kari girl, since she's the one who woke Monstramon up." More feeling of hatred and anger boiled up inside of him causing him to let loose an evil laugh as he fired an attack at that puny girl.
**********************************************
"Did you hear something Gato?" Kari asked.
"I heard laughter. From something evil," Gatomon replied.
"What do you-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kari was suddenly tackled to the ground as something hit the ground where she was standing on seconds ago. She noticed a pair of warm and familiar arms around her.
"Sorry Kari. I didn't want you to get hit," Tk said.
"Thanks Tk but can you move your arm so I can get up?"
"Oh sorry Kar." Tk blushed as he removed his tight grip on her.
"How touching," sneered a voice from a tree.
"Guys get ready for what's heading our way," Tai said.
"Hello punks!" greeted Unimon as he flew out of a tree.
"Is it me or does Unimon look wrong to you?" asked Agumon.
"Izzy, do you see what I see?" Tentomon questioned.
"Yes I do. We have to get that chip off of him."
"What chip?" Tai asked cluelessly.
Joe sighed. Even after all these years, Tai is still as clueless as ever.
"The one on his back you dope."
"Oh, that one. I am not a dope Mr. Wanna Be Leader."
Mimi sighed in exasperation. *Why do they always pick the worst times to fight?*
*Because it's my brother and Matt we're talking about*
Matt started to growl and turn red.
"Break it up you two," Gabumon said.
"Yeah, we have a bigger crisis at hand," Delia reminded them.
"I've got a plan," Asia announced. She told them what it was as Unimon attacked.
"Gilamon digivolve to Falcamon!"
"Agumon digivolve to Greymon!"
"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"
Patamon flew around Unimon's head to distract him, while Gomamon launched his fish friends at Unimon's head. Gatomon attacked Unimon and then it was Palmon's turn.
"Poison Ivy!" Her arms held two of Unimon's feet as the other Digimon shot their attacks together.
"Ahhhh!!!" Out flew the red microchip.
**********************************************
Suddenly Sora started to feel lighter as a beautiful Heavenly glow filled the room. Fear started to grip her. What's going on? "Why am I floating away from my body?"
"Because you are dead my dear."
"W-W-What?! Who said that?" She couldn't believe she was dead. She was only eighteen! How could her life have been cut short like this.
A beautiful woman with long curly auburn hair appeared. She had two wings of white and had a Heavenly glow around her. Her green catlike eyes were soothing and calm. "Follow me."

That's it for now. I hope this was enchanting.
What do you think the others will do when they find Sora dead? Is there a way to bring her back? If so, is there a heavy price that may be paid? Will something or someone be sacrificed to save her from her fate?
What do you think will happen? Please feel free to voice your opinion.
