Disclaimer: Blah, blah, blah. You know the routine. I do not nor do I wish to own Digimon.
Part 22
"Are you ready for the fight of your lives?" asked Tai.
"Before we go on, I just want to say that I love you guys. We've been through so much," Kari said.
"Yeah, ditto. I do not know what I would have done without you all. I just wish Sora was with us," Joe said, as he remembered her giving him the power to heal.
"In the name of Sora we'll destroy him. If anything should happen to any of us, I just want to say…Thanks for being there," Matt added.
"I wish Sora and the Digimon were here. We must make sure he is destroyed for Sora's sake. And let's make sure we come out in one piece. I'm not looking forward to anymore deaths," Izzy said with determination.
Tk sighed. "Come on guys, let's have some hope and stay positive."
"Well guys, girls…this is it. Please stay in one piece. I have seen too many deaths. I don't want to lose anymore friends," Mimi said sincerely.
"I know that I haven't known you all that long, but I feel a bond between each and every one of you. So let's not allow Demonico to win," Asia said.
"We have to come out on top. The Digiworld and our world depend on it. We can't allow anymore innocent Digimon to suffer or humans for that matter, like my sister Sora," Delia replied emotionally.
"So then, this is it. United we stand. Protect both worlds. Demonico shall pay for the killing of Sora and our Digimon! Let's go for it," Tai said with a set grin.
"How kind you are for deciding to fight me but oh how stupid. You will get hurt and die. Then what would Sora do when she sees her friends, as well as Gennai and Piximon dying a slow and painful death? Now we wouldn't want that, would we? I can picture it now, Sora crying pitifully for her friends and not being able to do a thing about it. Not that she ever could hurt anyone such as myself. She's way too pathetically." A sly and menacing grin was plastered on Demonico's twisted face.
"Shut up! Don't talk about Sora that way!" Delia yelled in a loud authoritative voice, startling everyone but Tai.
"I won't have anyone bashing my heart! Nova blast!"
"Ha missed!"
"Oh yeah…Howling Blaster!"
"Hand of Fate!"
"Electro Shocker!"
"Ikakumon's Horn Blaster!"
"Ow! Only a little pain."
The others looked shocked at the fact that this was not working, but they knew they had to keep trying.
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Flower Cannon's Beam!"
"Winged Starlight!"
"Raging Surf!"
"Oh yeah try my…Fire!" Tai shot a stream of fire at him.
"If you like that you'll love my…Laser!" Matt also fired an attack.
"Laser Rings!" Tk cried as he too released his attack.
"How about a little shock to jumpstart your day with us? Lightning!" Izzy released his own attack as well.
"It's time for you need to cool off. Water!" cried Joe.
Delia held up her hands. "Silver Essence!"
"Electric Marvel!" Asia yelled.
"Tear Blast!" Mimi cried out.
"Fairy's light!" Kari shouted.
"Oh is that all?" The attacks hit Demonico but they did not even get one scratch on him. Now all of them were beginning to feel tired out.
"How about a little spice to your sugar? Fatality's Venom!"
A red liquid shot out of his mouth so fast that Mimi could not react. Instead, Joe pushed her out of the way taking the hit. He screamed in agony before collapsing into Mimi's arms.
"Oh please Joe…no…why did you take that hit…oh Joe…" she sobbed.
"Joe!" screamed everyone.
****************************************
"Oh no! My friends! Joe, Matt, Tk, and Izzy…and nooooooooooooo!!! Taaaaaaaiiiiii!!!!!!" Tears began to violently trail down Sora's cheeks. She helplessly watched her friends get hit one by one. It was torture seeing and hearing their agonized cries of pain.
"Sora…don't cry. There is still hope…Look!" Justicemon excitedly exclaimed as he too watched the seen unfold in the Digiworld.
Just then, her tears stopped as she saw a miraculous thing happen. The four Angelics started to glow. Their glorious wings spread gracefully as they flew up into the air and circled around Demonico.
****************************************
With four cold looks, the four females kept their mouths closed as they communicated with each other.
*Okay Kari, Mimi, Asia. We have to do this without Sora. Are you ready?*
*Of course. We'll avenge Sora*
*No need to ask me twice. Sora was my best friend*
*I am more than ready. If it were not for him…Sora would be here. It is too bad I never got the chance to really get to know her*
*Well fly towards me. We'll stand in one straight line because he's also now flying*
They all did what Delia told them to do. They then linked hands.
"I am the Siren," Mimi said with confidence.
"I am the Fairy."
"I am the Pixie," Asia said.
"And I am the Sorceress!"
"Oh yeah…well I am Demonico! Muwahahahaha." He then stopped laughing abruptly and his expression turned deadly, giving the Angelics the shivers. Down below, the Digiwarriors groggily got up and watched helplessly. Joe decided to use the power Sora gave him. He proceeded to healing everyone while the Angelics battled in the sky.
"Celestial Dawn!" Kari cried.
"Siren's Lark!"
"Pixie's Call!"
"Arial Projection!"
"Sorry to disappoint you but that couldn't even hurt a fly. But his would. Fatal Silence!"
"Phoenix Fire!" yelled a sugary voice. Once again, there was no one else.
*Why do I have the feeling that Sora just helped us out?* Delia could not explain it but she had this inkling that something big was going to happen.
Tai also had that feeling.
Demonico decided to take advantage at them letting their guard down to look for the voice. "Fatal Silence!"
All four of the Angelics did not have time to react. In one swift motion, a black light engulfed them, causing their wings to disappear. They all fainted and were caught by their lovers' arms. They were placed on the ground. Joe bent over to try to heal them but before he could do so he saw Demonico's attack head towards them.
"They're not going to make it if they're hit again!" Joe yelled frantically.
All five Digiwarriors stood in front of the Angelics. Immediately they were thrown back. They groggily got up and slowly made their way back to the waking girls.
"Fatal Silence!" The attack loomed closer and closer.
*************************************
"Oh dear. I can't look!" Mercuria cried.
"No! It'll take a miracle for them to win now," Piximon said desperately.
*************************************
Just as the black light was about to hit them, a bright deep pink light caused it to disintegrate. Now in its place was a giant crystal rose.
"What's going on?" asked Asia weakly.
"Who stopped it?" asked a confused Izzy.
"You have caused far too much pain and now it is time for you to pay," said a heavenly voice. In the name of love I shall fight you!"
Everyone gasped. "Could it be?" asked Delia.
"Is it her?" asked Tai hopefully.
The voice continued. "Brought back from the jaws of death, I am here as a savior. In the name of everything good, I will put a stop to you." All of a sudden, the crystal rose bloomed. In the heart of the crystal was Sora!
"Sora!" Everyone cried happily, yet weakly.
Sora had a dress on similar to the one that Queen Serenity (sailor moon reference) wore. Her raven hair gently flowed like silk. She glanced at her friends, revealing startling blue eyes. They gasped at this change.
"Let's get this over with."
Her friends creeped up closer but remained at a safe battle as they looked at their only hope for survival.
"Yes, let's," Sora replied bravely. "I am the Enchantress!"
Demonico lifted his hands above his head to produce a black round crystal that came out of his heart. This was the source of his powers.
The other Digidestined saw something come out of Sora's heart. It was a round pink crystal. This was the source of her powers, which came from her heart. She too raised the crystal over her head and yelled, "Heaven's Passion!" The crystal glowed sent a white light towards Demonico.
"Hades Fire!" His crystal glowed and sent a black light to meet the white light.
The others watched in awe as they saw their resurrected friend fighting. Tk checked his watch and gasped. "You guys! This has been going on for ten minutes!"
"Give it up you little witch!"
"Never! And the name's Enchantress!"
"Take this on behalf of all the dead evil Digimon!"
"Oh yeah! This is for all the innocent!"
Suddenly they both stopped, catching their breath.
"It looks like we're equally matched," Sora said sweetly.
"Matched with you? A pathetic human girl? Females! What do they know!" Demonico said angrily.
"Pathetic?! I'll show you!" Sora stood up with newfound strength. So did Demonico.
"Heaven's Passion!"
"Hades Fire!"
This is for my friends and you making them suffer! That bastard! Sora thought as she struggled to keep going.
"Once you're through I'll tear your friends apart, limb by limb!"
"No!" How dare he even suggest hurting them even more! He can't win! The innocent will suffer! If he takes over the Digiworld then our world is a goner. I have got to protect them. It's all up to me. This is my destiny. To cleanse the Digiworld of all evil! I just have to fulfill it! And so I shall.
A single tear escaped Sora's right eye and landed softly on the barren ground, causing a single rose to sprout up. Suddenly Sora felt a new surge of power. Her white light intensified.
"W-What's happening? No! This can't happen! I cannot be defeated by this girl! Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!"
Suddenly the white light pierced through the black light and engulfed everything in one light causing everyone to close their eyes. Demonico's screams suddenly stopped as the light stopped.
The crystal entered Sora's heart again. It was then that Sora noticed she was in the air. There was an air of love, peace, and harmony around her. Suddenly she felt so weak. Oh no, not again, she thought as her vision darkened. She felt herself falling.
"Sora!" With surprising speed, Tai caught the love of his life in his arms. She looked pale and felt cold.
*************************************
Once again, she saw the familiar gate. Except this time, she saw Phoenixmon and Justicemon.
"Well Sora, you don't have to come back here! You can live!" her Digimon cried happily. Sora warmly hugged her.
"Sora, you have fulfilled your destiny of cleansing the Digiworld of the evil. You are very weak, but you will eventually wake up. Now before you return to your friends, I want to leave you with this; Live each moment of your life to its fullest. Good-bye Sora," Justicemon said.
"Bye Sora!" Tears were in Phoenixmon's eyes.
Tears rolled down her face and hit the ground near her body. Sora then entered her body.
*************************************
"Joe are you sure she'll be okay?" asked Delia.
"Good job Digidestined. Perhaps you would like to take Sora to a nice soft bed," Gennai's projection said.
Delia closed her eyes and a blue light surrounded them. When everyone opened their eyes they were in Sora's bedroom in the DigiManor. Tai gently put Sora in bed and covered her up. He sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand.
"Come on Sora, wake up. We miss you," Tai said.
The others watched on gravely. Joe walked over to Sora and closed his eyes. He then held his hands over her heart. Suddenly his hands gave off a dark pink glow. His eyes shot open as he felt power draining from him. When the light ceased, Joe suddenly looked pale.
"Joe? Are you okay?" asked Mimi with concern.
"I'll go get him a glass of water," Asia said as she rushed off.
"It's the power…it's gone…" he gasped.
"What do you mean?" asked Kari.
Asia came back and asked, "What does who mean?" She handed Joe the glass.
"Thanks."
"You welcome."
"What he means is that his power to heal is gone," Matt told her.
"But as to where, we don't know," Tk said.
"It went into Sora," Joe said.
"Of course, that makes logical sense. Now why didn't I think of that?" Izzy questioned.
"Ohhhhhhh…." The others snapped their heads in the direction of the soft groan.
"She squeezed my hand!" cried out an elated Tai.
"Mine too! She's coming to!" Delia also cried out.
Everyone rushed over to the bed. Sora's eyes started to flutter.
"Tai? Delia?" asked Sora weakly. "Is that you?"
"Yes Sora it is," Delia said softly.
Sora struggled to get into a sitting position. "Oh Sora! I don't want to ever lose you again!" Delia cried with tears escaping her eyes. The others then bombarded her with hugs, tears, and words.
"I think Tai and Sora need to be alone," Piximon said with a twinkle in his eye.
*************************************
"Tai…" Sora started. Tears began to flow to her eyes as she stared into his eyes.
Tai stared back at Sora. She now was back to her old self. "Shhh…" He put a finger to her lip and gently traced the outline as tears started to gracefully leave a trail down her cheeks. Tai enveloped her in a gentle hug.
Sora cried into Tai, as he hugged her and ran his hands up and down her back in a soothing way. Tai was still on the bed.
"Oh Tai! I thought that I would never ever get to feel your arms around me again. Oh I missed you so much! Heaven was torture for me to see you and not be able to be with you…" She broke off sobbing.
Tai pulled away and started to wipe the tears off her face. Sora turned her eyes to meet Tai's. They began to get lost in each other till their lips were only a heartbeat away. Then Tai leaned forward and kissed Sora deeply. He stroked Sora's silky hair as she wrapped her arms around Tai's neck. The kiss quickly intensified till Sora could feel her lips being pried open. As her lips opened, she was filled with a wonderful passion as their tongues danced and glided over each other. Tai could feel his heartbeat racing as he began to feel light-headed. She felt Tai intensifying their kiss causing her to feel lightheaded. Finally they both broke their kiss gasping.
"Wow."
"Oh Tai…I-I love you so much."
"Sora go to sleep. You need your rest." Tai saw her about to protest but he gave her a firm look and made her lay down. In no time she was asleep. He kissed her forehead, and covered her with the blanket as left the room.
***************************************
"Before you all go back, we must tell you something of great importance," Piximon said.
"When you get back you will not remember any of this," Gennai said.
"What?" asked the Digidestined.
Mercuria smiled at them. "You see, you won't remember any of this because when you return you will be younger. You see this had to happen so that you all can enter the Digiworld again. You see the time stream was clogged. But Kari and Tk will meet up with another group of Digidestined that will be around their ages. Their names are Iori, Ken…well he is the Digimon Emperor. Nevermind. The point is that you will have no memory when you return home. And do not worry you will all meet again someday. Sora, Delia, you two will be reunited again. Okay now, you all should get back. It's back to school for you all. I know some of you are headed to Junior High and someone here will be going off to America to live. Well time to say good-bye."
"This is way confusing," Mimi said.
***************************************
Back on Earth…
Sora sighed as she entered the school in Odaiba. She looked at her green school uniform and sighed again. I wish Mimi was here. She then saw a sheet of paper on the bulletin board in school. Tennis sign-ups? Hmmm….
***************************************
"Ah back to school," Joe said. Great now I have to worry about grades again. He sighed.
***************************************
"Ah yes. Back to school. And band practice today. Okay well maybe not good with the school thing but oh well," Matt said to himself.
***************************************
This is going to be another great year of soccer and Sora. Wait a sec I did not just think that did I? She is just a friend. Tai shook his head as he walked into the school. Judging by the empty halls he could tell he was late.
***************************************
I sure wish my parents did not have to move. I miss them so much. Especially Sora and Joe. Joe? What am I thinking? I must be homesick.
***************************************
Back to school. It should not be too hard, and I am sure I will get to work in that new computer lab. Izzy smiled as he took his seat.
***************************************
Kari walked happily down the hall and went to her classroom. She looked around for Tk. He must be late, she thought.
***************************************
"Ak! I'm late! Tai must have rubbed off on me." Tk stopped at the doorway to his class. He saw Kari, and his grin suddenly became wider as he tapped her on her shoulder startling her. She playfully swatted him and reprimanded him before turning around. Oh yes, he thought. This is going to be a great year. No Myotismon or Dark Masters.
