Me: I don't own Digimon! I also don't own Chantal Krenviazuk's "Feels Like Home" off the Dawson's Creek soundtrack-the 1st one.
Tai: That's actually a pretty good song-after being forced to hear it over and over again at Sora's house!
Sora: You know you liked it-especially when you sang the chorus along with me!
Tai: (blushes) Sora! Matt could be here and the last thing I need is this getting around.
Me: Oops, guess I shouldn't have recorded the entire conversation. (laughs evilly; runs off)
Tai: WHAT?! (gives chase)
Sora: (giggles) Enjoy the next Chapter!
Digimon
The WarGame of the 21st Century
Chap. V-Sora's True Home
As Sora Takenouchi stood alongside her boyfriend Taichi Kamiya, she gazed into the pools of his chocolate eyes, losing herself in them.
"I can't believe I never realized before how gorgeous he was! And I was a fool to let him go, but it was a blessing to get him back in my arms."
"Sora, we do have a battle to finish." Tai whispered in her ear. She blushed, and stepped back a few feet.
"Sorry."
"No apology's necessary."
Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life
WarGreymon started the attack with his Terra Force, which Diaboromon skillfully avoided. MetalGarurumon quickly fired his Metal Wolf Claw attack, but he swatted it away.
"I've got it! Positron Laser!!"
WHAM! Not expecting that attack from Imperialdramon, Diaboromon stumbled back in shock.
"Wing Blade!!" Garudamon's fiery attack scorched Diaboromon's armor, but he shook off the effects. The time had come to show the DigiDestined what he was made of!
"Heat Radiator!!" WHAM! This powerful attack that had come out of nowhere hit all the Digimon at once and, with the exception of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, forced them to deDigivolve back to Rookies! The DigiDestined gasped in shock.
"What the heck was that?!" Davis yelled out angrily.
"That was Diaboromon's Heat Radiator attack. An unknown and unseeing beam of light appears out of the sky, then hits its target with almost perfect accuracy!" Izzy explained.
"So what do we do about it?" Matt asked as he turned to Tai. Tai knew what had to be done, but Sora pulled him back.
"Tai…be careful." Tai offered Sora a smile before kissing her and pulling her and Kari into a tight hug.
As for Matt, he was in shock. How do you tell a girl about your feelings when you know they're attracted to someone else?
"Matt, don't make me a widow before you ask me to marry you in the future, okay?" Matt couldn't help but smile at the oddity of the question asked, and nodded.
"I'll try not to."
If you knew how lonely my life has been, and how long I've been so alone
If you knew I wanted someone to call my love and change my life the way you've done
"WarGreymon…"
"…MetalGarurumon…"
"DNA Digivolve to…OMNIMON!!!"
Tai and Matt took their places alongside the Digimon, with Davis, Yolei, Mimi, Sora and Kari gazing upward at him. This was their first time getting an up close and personal look at the massive Digimon that had been the hero of the Internet and had returned to defend it and all technology around the world!
Diaboromon looked almost bored as he looked at Omnimon.
"You think he'd be a little scared. We did take him out last time we were here." Matt noted.
"True. And he hasn't moved or anything, almost like he's planning for an attack or something." Tai agreed.
Sora and Mimi eyed Tai and Matt with worried looks on their faces. Their thoughts were one and the same at that moment:
"Please, come back home to me…"
Chorus: It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Within seconds, Diaboromon started glowing brightly and was surrounded by a dark light.
"What the…?" Tai began.
"…Heck's going on?" Matt finished in shock and surprise.
"Behold, DigiDestined-my true form! Diaboromon Digivolve to…SHIMMERMON!!!"
The team gasped in fear as they stared at the fully Digivolved form of Diaboromon.
"This guy's gotta be taller-and bigger-than the Empire State building!" Davis warned.
"I'm not arguing with you on that one, Davis!" Mimi replied.
"We've got a problem! I can't find this Digimon on my Digimon Analyzer! That means he's one of those unidentifiable Digimon!" Izzy exclaimed worriedly.
"Sora, Davis, everybody, get back to the Real World now and make sure that other Digimon doesn't Digivolve to the Mega Level!" Tai demanded.
"Tai, I'm not leaving you at the hands of this monster! I'm going to help!" Sora insisted defiantly.
"Sora, at this high stage, Garudamon wouldn't be powerful enough. You know that. Only a Mega Digimon would have…1/2 a chance against Shimmermon. Please, get back to the Real World."
With tears streaming down her face, Sora reluctantly followed Mimi and the others-who was just as upset as she was about leaving Tai and Matt behind-back to the Real World with their Digimon. As she collided with the others through the computer, she recalled a dangerous situation when she had been a kid…
Flashback
"Sorwa! Look how high I can kick the soccer ball!" A younger Sora Takenouchi giggled at Tai's attempt to kick the ball over a tree branch. Why he would do something like that was beyond her, though. But Tai kicked it too hard and sent it flying through the window of an abandoned building across the street!
"Oops."
"Don't worry, Tai; I'll get it!" Not even regarding traffic, and wanting to impress Tai, Sora raced across the street as fast as her legs would carry her. Unbeknownst to her, a car came barreling down and was seconds from hitting her!
"SORWA!! LOOK OUT!" Tai took the initiative and tackled Sora, pushing her out of harm's way, but allowing himself to take the hit for her.
She ran back over to Tai's motionless form with tears flowing down her cheeks and held him tightly as the siren wails of the ambulance kept getting closer.
"It's all my fault, Tai…"
A window breaks down along the street and a siren wailed in the night
But I'm all right, 'cause I have you here with me and I can almost see through the dark there is light
The Odaiba Hospital. Tai's injuries hadn't been that serious, but the doctors wanted to make sure. Sora waited with the pure impatience of a child, but the worry and fear of a young woman. A nurse exited a room down the hall and walked down to the waiting room.
"Sora Takenouchi? Your friend's awake and he requested to see you." Instantly, she bolted out of her seat and down the hall to his room. He looked more or less the same, with the exception of a few cuts and bruises. Sora couldn't avoid the pain in her heart as she cried softly at the entrance to Tai's room.
"Sorwa? Please don't cry. I can't stand to see you cry and not do something." Tai pleaded quietly as she managed to make her way to him.
"Stupid Tai. Why'd you do it? Why'd you save me?" Sora asked sadly. Tai reached up with his chubby arm and wiped away her tears with his hand.
"That's what best friends are for. They watch out for each other if they're in trouble…"
Smiling, Sora laid down next to Tai on top of the covers, being careful not to hurt Tai more so than he already was. She took solace by just being there next to him, the boy who'd risked his life to save hers.
"I think I may love Taichi…"
End flashback
If you knew how much this moment means to me and how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me; I never thought I'd love anyone so much
Sora shook with pain and sadness as she grabbed Yolei's D3 and pointed it toward the computer, crying out, "DIGIPORT, OPEN!" As she was pulled in, she turned and saw Biyomon flying in after her.
"Every time something went bad in my life, he was there for me! He saved me from Datamon, Andromon, Mammothmon, comforted me when I thought my Crest wouldn't glow, promised me he wouldn't let anything happen to me, trusted me with Kari…he even gave me up to Matt so that I would be happy! I don't deserve his love!"
Omnimon and Shimmermon's battle had grown cataclysmic! The two had traded punches and blows for minutes, neither one willing to give up.
"It seems your time's up Omnimon. Time for you to be deleted on the Internet to have your data swirling around. Shimmering Death!!" Tai and Matt braced themselves as the attack came toward them.
"TAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!" Sora came flying back in with Biyomon in tow, not noticing that her Digivice was glowing.
"Biyomon Warp-Digivolve to…PHOENIXMON!!!"
WHAM! Tai and Matt grimaced, expecting to have separated. Instead, they found themselves gazing at one of the most powerful Mega Digimon in existence!
Phoenixmon had barely absorbed the energy and taken the brunt of the blow.
"But…how?" Matt asked in amazement.
"Isn't it obvious, Matt? Sora's loved Tai since before time began. It took his attempt at sacrificing himself for her to see the big picture." Mimi replied.
"Crimson Flame!!" The gigantic fire attack shot upward then transformed into the Crest of Love. (A/N: This is what I want the attack to look like, if this Digimon's ever shown on the show.)
It hit Shimmermon with critical damage. Tai grabbed his Digivice, as did Matt and Sora. They aimed them at Shimmermon, and he was trapped! This gave Omnimon the opportunity to finish him off.
"Transcendent Sword!!" Once again, Shimmermon found himself on the short end of a stick as Omnimon impaled him. Sora felt tears of joy come to her eyes. She'd helped Tai and Matt save the Internet from destruction.
As Shimmermon changed into digital data, he gasped out, "You haven't won yet…By saving the Internet, you've doomed your world…into eternal damnation…"
Tai's eyes narrowed as Omnimon deDigivolved into Agumon and Gabumon; Phoenixmon deDigivolved to Biyomon.
"We should get back home while we have the chance-"
Tai was pulled into another passionate kiss by Sora before he could finish. Matt rolled his eyes and grabbed Gabumon, Agumon and Biyomon, then headed off to leave the two of them some privacy all the while being seen by every watchful eye around the world.
Chorus: It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back…where I belong…
