Me: As usual, I don't own Digimon. You already know what I would do if I did. This contains Taiora-of course!-some Daiyako, Daikari and Takari.

Sora: When's Tai coming back?

Me: I can't tell you.

Sora: (grabs me by the scruff of my neck) Listen, and listen well: You will tell me when Tai's coming back, or you'll find it very hard to have children! Got it?

Me: Yes, ma'am.

Digimon

The battle known as Digigeddon

Chap. IV-Sora's feelings revealed

While clutching the Crest of Courage tightly in her hand, Sora Takenouchi slowly walked back to the spot where Tai Kamiya vanished off the face of the Earth.

"Can I truly admit my feelings for Tai out loud for anyone to hear? Could he hear me at all? From where he's at, probably not. I need him back. He completes me in ways I never thought were possible. I miss him so much…" Sora fought the urge to cry as she quickened her pace.

Still trapped in Hell's gates (A/N: Where could he go? Tai can't come back until Sora admits the truth-and who knows how long THAT could take? * Sora slaps me across the face* Sorry.), Tai Kamiya wished that Agumon was with him. Together, they could beat the best of all evil! Well, not this particular evil, but they'd go out with a bang!

"Hurry up, Sora. I don't know how much longer I can take it in here."

Davis managed to keep a straight face as Kari told him that they could be nothing but friends. He'd expected this to happen ever since the battle when Tai was yanked into Hell. On the inside, he was torn up.

"Is this how Tai's feeling right now, trapped below us in-I can't even bring myself to say the name of that place! Of course not, idiot, it's 'cause you're thinking! Fine. If Kari wants to be friends, that's what I'll give her. I think Tai called that 'unconditional love'-

when you love someone who loves someone else. Don't cry. Never in front of Kari. Never!" Nevertheless, one lone tear dropped from Davis' eye and splattered on the table.

"Are you OK, Davis?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm just…concerned about Tai."

"Not that. That." Kari pointed to Davis' eyes. Slowly, but surely, some tears started welling up in his eyes.

"Yeah! Just something in my eye, that's all." Davis put on a brave smile, but it was forced.

"So, Kari. Your birthday's coming up. Any ideas on what you want?" Davis was trying to change the subject. It worked-a little too well.

"All I want right now is for Tai to come back." Kari started crying silently. Davis mentally cursed himself.

"You jerk! You just made Kari cry without even thinking about what she'd want. Of course she'd put Tai over her own birthday. He's her brother and he trapped himself in Hell so Sora could live! Could I make that kind of sacrifice so that Kari would live? I hope I can live up to my Digi-Egg like Tai did to his Crest. Both of them."

"Hey, guys! How's it going?"

Davis smiled to himself as T.K. and Yolei came up.

"Kari's worried about Tai. I've gotta go do-some stuff. Could you come with me, Yolei?"

Davis sweat-dropped as Yolei ran up to him and hugged him with so much force that he felt like he was being crushed.

"Thanks, Davis! I thought you'd never ask!"

Kari looked up at Davis and smiled. In a way, Davis had made the biggest leap into love by just consoling her the way he knew-giving her time to sort out her true feelings.

As T.K. sat next to Kari, Davis walked off with Yolei. He felt heartbroken, but happy at the same time.

"I'll be waiting…"

Mimi had finally made it to the airport. As promised, Matt had been there to pick her up. On the way to Izzy's house, he explained to her what had happened between Tai and D-mon.

"That's terrible! Poor Sora."

"I know. But Tai actually thought this out. He left his Crest of Courage in Sora's pocket before he got pulled in. Izzy thinks we can use it to bring Tai back-after Sora admits her feelings to him, of course."

Mimi stifled a laugh. "By the time that happens, Digigeddon will already be happening." She grew silent as Matt eyed her with a worried look.

"That's what I'm afraid of. That by the time Sora opens herself to the world, it'll be too late for the world…or Tai."

Tai forced himself to open his eyes. Still dark. Still falling. The visions ebbing at him. If he'd known that Hell would be like this, he still would've gone for Sora.

"Please, Sora…I need you. The real you."

Things were going to get even harder for the DigiDestined. As Davis and Yolei arrived at his house, the ground shook around them and forced them to fall. The shaking got worse with every second.

"Davis, what's going on?" Yolei looked scared, but hid it well.

"I think Sora didn't admit her feelings."

That's when they looked up and saw a portal open…and a figure go flying out.

Davis smiled to himself. "Then again…"

Kari finally figured out who it was she really wanted. Problem was that the entire place started shaking and sent her and T.K. to the floor.

"You think Sora-"

They looked up into the sky and saw a person come flying downward through a portal.

"I don't think. I know." Kari smiled as she ran toward the location where the person fell, with T.K. right behind her.

Matt barely stopped the car a good 3 blocks from Izzy's when the road shook with the force of a comet! He and Mimi clutched the seats as best they could until the shaking eventually stopped. Izzy, Joe, Cody and Ken came running toward them moments later.

"Something tells me Sora didn't fulfill her part of the prophecy."
Izzy was proven wrong as a portal opened above their heads a good distance away and a familiar person came falling out.

"Then again…"

"Get in!" Once the others climbed in, Matt turned the car as best as he could-the road started shaking again-and sped off toward Sora.

Sora stood on the spot where Tai had vanished only a few hours ago. "So why does it feel like days or months since I last saw you?" Maintaining her composure, she bent down onto her knees.

"Tai, I really hope you can hear me from down there…" Unbeknownst to Sora, her Crest, as well as Tai's, started glowing around her neck.

Tai gasped in shock as he felt a cooling sensation from within. He looked down and saw his Crest of Courage.

"Sora…are you calling me back?" Seconds later, he heard her voice. Her real voice.

"Tai, I really hope you can hear me from down there…" He smiled broadly as he saw the Crest of Love appear next to his own.

"That's it, Sora! Tell me how you really feel!" He felt something tug on him. Tai knew he was going back. The question was, why did everything look like it was shaking?

"I could never say this to your face, so I guess it's a good thing that you're not here. But I need you here! I feel like I'm split in two halves-one, safe on Earth, and the other, trapped in eternal damnation! I'm really not sure how to say this Tai, but I love you! I've always loved you, and I always will." Sora started sobbing as the ground shook around her. She didn't notice the portal open up above her head. The only thing that got her looking up was a very familiar voice.

"I've loved you too, Sora. I didn't realize it until Datamon captured you. I thought I was never going to see you again. And…that fall really hurt."

"Oh, Tai!" Sora and Tai would've laughed if the sky hadn't suddenly turned red.

"I think we're in trouble…big trouble."

Davis and Yolei made it to Tai and Sora, as had T.K., Kari, Ken, Cody, Matt, Mimi, Izzy and Joe. The 12 of them saw the sky turn red. Trouble was brewing.

"Let me check that prophecy thing again." Quick as lightning, Izzy reread the prophecy. What he saw made his face pale.

"Guys, I read the prophecy wrong! It says, 'To save Courage, Love must unlock the keys to her heart at the exact spot where Courage vanished. Then Digigeddon will occur.'"

Everyone glared at Izzy.

"How was I supposed to know? It looked like an 'or.'"

Tai looked up at the reddening skies as a Digimon suddenly appeared. It was Kimeramon.

Then, Devimon came back.
The numbers of Digimon was unimaginable…

MetalEtemon…

VenomMyotismon…

MetalSeadramon…

Puppetmon…

Machinedramon…

Piedmon…

Arukenimon…

BlackWarGreymon…

All the evil Digimon that they'd defeated suddenly reappeared in Japan. And they all craved revenge.

Tai Kamiya knew one thing-these guys coming back was a walk in the park considering all the torment he'd just experienced.

"Everyone…prepare for the battle of the century! Prepare for DIGIGEDDON!!!"

All those Digimon, and the DigiDestined have to take them all on! What will happen? Wait for Chap.V-Digigeddon comes to pass!
