Part 21
As the eight balls of energy entered them, Spiritmon became temporarily blinded. When the light ceased, he gasped at the spectacle in front of him.
Tai now had amber eyes with specks of orange. His hair lost the orange streak and now had red highlights instead.
Matt's eyes were now back to their original color except there were green specks in his eyes and his hair lost its streak and became all blonde again.
Joe's eyes were now a lighter shade of aquamarine and had dark blue specks in them.
Izzy's eyes were still violet, but he had specks the color of Tentomon's body (which is red).
Tk's eyes were still the same except they now had the same specks as Matt's, but his hair was now back to normal.
Kari's eyes were back to their original color, except now they took on Gatomon's eye shape. Her hair was now back to normal and no longer had little flowers in her hair. (Part 9 has how they all look)
Mimi's eyes were back to the rich amber color except for the deep pink specks in her eyes. Her hair no longer had the pink streaks in them.
Delia's strawberry blonde now changed back to its original color, brown with blonde highlights in them. As for her eyes, they matched her Falcamon's eyes, which were a calming soothing blue that was catlike.
Asia gasped at the appearances. For a few seconds, she was shocked. Suddenly a voice popped into her head. *Oh Asia. You went under changes when Aquamon's life-force entered you* Asia snapped out of it, looked at Delia, and saw that her mouth did not move. "Oh yeah. I forgot."
"It's okay," Mimi reassured.
"Yeah, I would've been as shocked too," Kari said.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tai asked cluelessly.
"Some things never change," commented Izzy, shaking his head.
Everyone chuckled at Tai until…
*************************************
"Fate, destiny, please escort the six incoming Digimon to the waiting room with the others," Justicemon said.
"Sure thing," Destiny replied.
"Now let's get back to the business at hand. It seems like your friends have now gained the life-forces of their Digimon. They are very powerful now and may not need your help."
*************************************
"Stop that blasted laughing. Have you forgotten about me?"
"No!" yelled everyone.
Suddenly, everyone started to glow. When the light ceased, Spiritmon gasped at the nine humans.
Matt suddenly more powerful. He had this cold, icy feeling in his fingertips although he felt rather hot. The icy feeling traveled up and down his body. It was strangely soothing and nice.
Woah, Tai thought. I feel different. I feel sooo hot yet it's in a good way. My fingertips feel like they are on fire. This is way intense.
W-What's happening to me? Mimi silently asked herself. This is strange. Where did this rose tattoo come from? I kind of like it. It's a single pink rose and it's right under my left shoulder blade. How styin' is that? Yet, how strange, but how nice. I can sincerely say this looks good on me.
Oh I feel strange. Kari could feel her hands but they felt so light. It was strange. But what struck her strange was the feeling of power inside of her.
Oh man, I'm doomed, Joe thought as he paced back and forth, not realizing that he was headed towards a lake. Why do I-hey! What's happening? I feel like I am walking on water. He looked down. Ah! I am walking on water. He bent down and touched it. Sure enough, it was water. His hand was now wet. Hey this feels awesome.
Asia suddenly felt electricity running through her fingers while a feeling of walking on water struck her. She was so surprised when she looked down. What struck her as odd was that her fingernails looked like they were made out of mercury and she was walking on water! She glanced over and saw that Joe was the only other person who was on the lake. She saw him touch the water. Wow. I wonder what power Izzy has…
Izzy could feel electricity coursing through his veins and traveling up and down his body. He looked at his fingers and saw little white sparks. He gasped at this concept. I can't believe this…wow I like, no love this feeling. It is soooo intense and powerful…
Tk felt so strange that he couldn't put it into words, but it was a good kind of strange not a bad strange feeling. Suddenly he gasped at the fact that Angemon's gloves were on his hands. He could feel power in his fist.
Delia felt as light as a bird. When she went to brush a lock of hair, she noticed an imprint on her right hand. It looked like a tattoo that was in a light brown that was in the shape of a star, the size of a pencil eraser. She gasped at this. Suddenly she realized that she was not walking on the ground. Instead she was flying! She looked back to see she was flying without the help of wings.
"What is this? Claws? Walking on water? Flying and…What else?" asked Spiritmon in fear and disbelief. He stood there rooted to the spot.
Delia gasped aloud. "Oh no! This was supposed to happen. Now I remember. Sora told me of what was to come. They had to die in order to become stronger to defeat Spiritmon and Darkenmon."
"All the more reason to kick their buts!" yelled Tk.
"It's time for your end," Matt said to Spiritmon.
"Yeah, I agree. Are you ready guys?!" Tai yelled enthusiastically. He saw them all nod.
*******************************
Gennai started to pace back and forth. "What are we going to do?"
"At least the Digidestined all have their full powers now," Piximon said.
"Yeah but can they use them correctly? It's a lot of power."
"I can only hope. But it will take a miracle to win." Piximon sighed.
********************************
"Silver Essence!" cried Delia.
"Celestial Dawn!" Kari cried.
Spiritmon instantly was sent into oblivion as the two attacks hit him.
"So you defeated my servant, eh? Well now it's time to face your doom!" boomed a chilling voice.
Asia's hands started to glow. She shot a beam of aqua and silver energy at Darkenmon. "Aqua Illusion!"
Delia also started to glow. A beam of sapphire blue stars and silver wings shot from her hands as she yelled, "Arial Projection!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
"Razor Beauty!" Mimi yelled from behind Darkenmon.
"Grisly Lightning!"
"Howling Blaster!" Matt yelled as he shot an attack from his hands.
Tai let loose an attack from his hands, yelling, "Nova Blast!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Oh yeah! Take this! Power Spheres!"
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" Matt and Tai yelled as they were thrown against two trees and knocked unconscious.
"Matt! Tai!" yelled everyone. Kari ran up to Tai as Tk ran to Matt.
"No! Tai! Brother…please…not you too…you can't die…" Kari sobbed.
"Oh come on Matt! Snap out of it! You're tough! You can't die…" Tk's voice trailed off.
Delia ran up to Matt with tears streaming down her cheeks. "Oh no please…no Matt…not like my dream…don't leave me…" she said through tears.
The others stood frozen from fair and sadness as they stared at Tai and Matt. None of them noticed that Darkenmon just fired another attack at the three people over their loved ones. As the attack loomed closer, Izzy and Joe jumped in front of them.
"Electro Shocker!"
"Ikakumon's Horn Blaster!"
Both shot the power from their hands. Tk stood up with anger in his eyes. His stare was so intense that it caused Darkenmon to gasp.
"No! Tk! I don't want to lose you too!"
Tk ignored Kari and lifted up his fist as he yelled, "Hand of Fate!" just as Darkenmon yelled, "Power Spheres!" The attacks disappeared as they hit one another. They both attacked, but unfortunately…
*************************************
"Justicemon am I allowed to see my friends while you take care of that paperwork?" asked Sora sweetly with a sad smile.
"Yes you may. Go down the hall and take a right. Third door on your left is where the Digimon of your friends are," he replied.
"Thank you," Sora replied.
Pheonixmon gently embraced Sora. The others followed pursuit, offering her comfort.
***************************************
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!" unfortunately Tk was not fast enough.
"Nooooooooo!!!! Tk!" everyone yelled.
"Celestial Arrow!" yelled Kari as she felt Angewoman's strength in her.
"Raging Surf!" Asia yelled as she too felt the same strength, except her energy was from Titania.
"Winged Starlight!" Delia yelled as she shot her Digimon, Falcamon's attack from her hands.
"Flower Cannon's Beam!" Mimi yelled.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!" His eyes turned with anger as he looked at the girls with a vengeance. His lips curved slyly as he quickly turned to the two remaining boys and fired an attack of spheres at him.
"Ahhhhhh!!!" screamed Izzy and Joe in unison.
"Izzy! Joe! Noooo!"
"Hahahaha now it's just me and you puny girls."
"How dare you!" yelled Kari.
"My friends! You monster!" Delia added.
"Oh Izzy…Look what you did!" Asia shouted.
"How could you?" Mimi accused.
Suddenly a light engulfed the four girls. it grew to be blinding. As it dimmed down, Darkenmon saw that the girls now had a pair of graceful white wings, like those of an angel. They truly looked like angelic.
"Ooooooo! The Angelics are ready to give me a proper fight now," he taunted.
Suddenly a voice yelled, "Phoenix Fire!" A large fiery energy in the shape of a phoenix hit Darkenmon, causing him to fall on his knees.
"Who did this? Tell me!" he yelled.
The Angelics looked around for any sign of where this came from, but there was no one around. They felt disappointed at thinking it was Sora.
"You can't finish me off so fast!"
"Wanna bet?" asked Asia dangerously.
Suddenly a blast of energy engulfed the unconscious boys and Darkenmon. Slowly, the Digiwarriors got up groggily. They saw Darkenmon get thrown back a few feet. Then the saw a large and blinding light shoot at Darkenmon.
"No! It cannot end like this! You haven't seen the last of me!" Darkenmon yelled.
When the light cleared, all they could see was a crater and smoke coming out of it.
"Wow!" exclaimed the boys. "You destroyed him!"
"Tai!" I thought you were a goner!" Kari hugged her brother and then rushed away sobbing into Tk's arms. "Oh Tk! I couldn't bear losing you…"
"Matt! I thought you were dead like in my dream! Oh Matt…" Delia sobbed in his arms.
"Oh Joe! You're alive! It's a miracle. I thought that you were…" Mimi's voice trailed off as she sobbed in Joe's arms.
"I would never leave you Mimi," he replied.
"Izzy!" Asia cried happily. "I-I thought you were dead," she said quietly avoiding his eyes.
"So did I. Asia, look at me," Izzy replied. When she wouldn't, he gently brought her face to look at his. In her dazzling eyes, he could see that she really was worried and cared for him. Suddenly he could not hold it in any longer. He kissed her.
Asia gladly accepted his kiss and gave him passion and pleasure. Their kiss deepened as Asia felt her lips being pushed apart. then suddenly they became conscious of the cheering and hooting. They pulled away and blushed.
Tai sighed. Everyone had someone but him. Loneliness was the only thing that constantly plagued him, since his better half died.
**************************************
"Thanks for allowing me to help out my friends," Sora said gratefully.
"Anytime," Justicemon replied.
"I guess they really didn't need my help. They've destroyed him," she said sadly.
"Oh on the contraire. Something is not right. Did you notice how the Digiworld didn't revert back to its original state?"
**************************************
The ground started to shake.
"What in the-?" Tai looked around.
"Oh no, don't tell me it is not over," groaned Mimi.
Just then, they saw something that made their blood run cold…
***************************************
Elecmon came into the room where Gennai, Mercuria, and Piximon were talking and looking a large floating cloud that projected the on-going battle.
"Oh my head…" groaned Elecmon. "What's happening?"
Gennai inhaled sharply. "I'm afraid that Darkenmon has…"
***************************************
*What is that* asked Asia fearfully in her mind.
*I am not sure* answered Kari.
***************************************
"…digivolved into the highest level possible, the royal stage," Piximon finished grimly.
***************************************
"Is that Darkenmon?" Tk asked.
A human that was roughly six feet tall stood before the Digidestined. He had red eyes, pale white skin, and long black hair. He had the same exact outfit as Angemon did except he had no helmet on and his outfit was black and grey. A crimson cape with gold and black skulls covered his cape. On his head sat two horns of red. "Good evening you fools. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a now royal Digimon. The name's Demonico."
Everyone gasped at this. How are they ever supposed to beat him?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Okay folks that is it for now. I decided to leave you all at a cliffhanger. Sorry it took so long but you know how school is. -sigh-
Just when they think they have defeated him, he digivolves to the royal stage. How will the Digidestined win against Demonico when they are missing their Digimon and one member? Will Sora be allowed to help her friends? Will she be granted her wish of going back to her friends? Will I ever stop asking questions? Find out in the next part!
Please let me know what you think.
