Unbreakable: The Story of Matt and Sora
(AN: Yea! I finally got around to finishing this great love story between Matt and Sora! I think this ending is appropriate... TK fans be warned! This might be interpreted as anti- TK... but it's not. Also, think: Would you do the same thing for your b/f / g/f? Ahmmmmmmm...)
"...Ultimate Ice Beam!" Suzuki cried, aiming directly at Yamato.
"No!!!" Sora exclaimed, jumping in front of Yamato.
"Sora!" Yamato wailed as his precious companion took the full brunt of the blow. She froze, and her skin turned blue. Icicles formed on her skin until Sora was completely encased in ice.
"Sora, no ... no..." Yamato wept.
Tazu Suzuki laughed. "What a fool she was interfering with my shot!"
"YOU!" Yamato raged. "Why, I oughta..."
Yamato turned to Gabumon and took out his digivice. "This is for Sora!"
"Not so fast, young one. You might be able to defeat me with your Digimon, but you will never know how to bring your loved one back."
The anger drained from Yamato's face.
"Br, bring her back?" Yamato asked. "How?"
Suzuki smiled. "I'm sure I can think of a way..."
*******
My brother... Yamato thought. He wants my brother. He kicked a pebble that was in his path.
"Bring me your brother by this time tomorrow or you'll never see your beloved Sora again! Takeru will accompany me in eternal darkness!"
That's what that monster had said. His brother. Or Sora.
Yamato continued to wander aimlessly around the base of the mountain. He asked Gabumon to leave him alone for a while.
What would he do? Sora, beautiful wonderful Sora, who always made him feel better, made his hurts go away, held him close when they were alone. He had to have her back. He had to make the trade.
*******
His resolve weakened considerably as he pulled up into the front driveway and Takeru jumped out to greet him.
"Hi Yama!" Takeru exclaimed as Yamato closed his car door. "You were out for a while in the Digital world! I was starting to get worried about you and Sora."
...He cares about me
"And I need help with my math homework. I know you're really good at it."
and he looks up to me too.
"Listen ... Takeru. I need you to come with me to the Digital World for something."
"Ok." Takeru hopped down from the top doorstep to the bottom.
And he has complete and utter trust in me. What have I gotten myself into?
*******
What have I gotten myself into? Yamato wondered for the umpteenth time as he and Takeru neared the base of the mountain.
"Hey Yamato, was it a good idea to leave our Digimon at home? We won't need protection?"
"No, Takeru. You'll be fine." The words seemed hollow even to him. Yamato wondered how fine Takeru would be in eternal darkness.
The two neared, and Yamato could make out the shape of Suzuki.
Suzuki sighed. "See, I knew you were reasonable. Give me the boy. I have someone who wants to see you..."
With a burst of smoke and a faint with of burnt sulfur, Sora appeared at Yamato's side.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Yamato avoided eye contact. He looked at the ground. "Everything is going to be fine."
Suzuki was growing impatient. "Hand over the boy!"
Takeru looked at Yamato and nodded. "I understand. I have to go with him, and you get Sora back. It's ok. I understand." He trudged toward Suzuki.
Yamato stared, uncomprehendingly. It wasn't allowed to turn out like this...
"NO!" Yamato yelled.
All eyes turned to him.
Yamato give a sigh of defeat. "Take me instead."
"No... Yamato!" Sora cried.
Takeru didn't say anything; he just shook his head.
"Hmmm." Suzuki murmured. "A brave sacrifice. I guess I'm not allowed to refuse it. Alright." With a puff of smoke, Takeru and Yamato switched places, Yamato and Suzuki's side.
"Yamato..." Sora sobbed, running up to him. Yamato kissed her hard on the lips. He stroked her hair.
"It's gonna be ok. Go with TK back home. Please.
Sora sadly nodded, and holding Takeru's hand, she saw Yamato and Suzuki walk into a dark spot in the landscape and disappear ... forever.
Epilogue: Sometimes, on dark rainy nights, Sora hears a voice wispering her name... Sora, Sora. She shakes it away; it can't mean anything... can it?
