Unexpected Reunion…

Sora met the attackers head on, she punched and threw attacks all around her, but their were to many opponents. Plus most of the opponents knew how to use their powers, they weren't new at this, soon Sora was getting overwhelmed, and tired. Her magic was running out, there wasn't much time to think. Suddenly she found herself in the air, with an invisible force strangling her, she thought, Oh…wonderful. They have a physic master with them a split second later she found herself face down in the dirt. She heard a voice above her say, "Don't you fools know that it's not nice to hit a lady." Then a huge "whumpf" followed, including the thump of a body hitting something hard. She winced a little, at the crunching sound of breaking bones. Her neck was extremely sore, and she was dead tired…soon Sora was fast into unconsciousness.

Yamato had just arrived at the scene when, he saw a young woman around his age, getting strangled in the air. His blood boiling, he spoke sharply out, causing the Circle masters to turn, "Don't you fools know that it's not nice to hit a lady." Suddenly his arm whipped out from his cloak, dealing a bone-breaking punch into the first master, sending the unfortunate man into a large brick wall. He turned around to face the gaping crowd, bunching up his fists and getting into a fighting posture, "Well? Anybody want a piece of me?" the eldest of the crowd, shrieked out, "It's the Lord of Death! Run for it, or all of us will die!" then a second later the whole area was abandoned. Matt smirked a little, I guess having the reputation of the Lord of Death, can come in handy then he knelt down in front of the young woman. Recognizing her as a Fire Master, Yamato knelt down and gently removed her cloak hood, so he could see if she was still breathing. When he drew back the hood, he nearly fell back, No…it couldn't be! Not after this long… he took a deep breath as he looked passed the shiny red hair, and started to gently turn her over, her face. When he saw who she was he nearly fainted, Nooo…it is her Matt shut his eyes painfully recalling the past gruesome years…

Flashback

Fifteen year-old Matt Ishida was walking home, when he met up with his worst nightmare, Jun, Davis's sister. Jun grinned at Yamato and whined, "When are you going to ask me out Yama-chan?" Yamato grimaced in disgust, and said, "Sorry Jun, but I already have a girlfriend, that I love with all of my heart." Then he tried to get past her, but she wouldn't let him. Spotting Sora, Yamato's girlfriend rounding the bend, she pushed Yamato against the wall, and kissed him hard. Surprised, Yamato didn't do anything, then he started to try and push Jun off him, without success. Then he heard a sob, when he finally got Jun off him, he was staring at the girl he loved, who was staring at him with hurt filled eyes. Tears were pouring down Sora's beautiful face, as she shouted at Matt, "H…h…how could you? I thought you loved me! H…h…how dare you Yamato Ishida! I...never want to see you again! I…I…h…h…hate…you Yamato Ishida!" and with that she ran down the street, sobs racking her body. Yamato just stared at her retreating figure, brokenly, his heart in pieces, he turned to Jun in anger, "You…you…you…Arrghh…I never want to see your ugly…stinking face again! If I see you within five feet of me…then I'll kill you! Look here Jun, I never…and would ever love you. Don't you get it? I HATE YOU!" Blowing off steam, and with a dying heart, Yamato, headed for his apartment.

Months later, Matt pleaded with Sora to give him another chance, but she wouldn't listen. Then one day he found Sora kissing Tai, when he saw that he internally died. The following week, he created ice barriers around himself, locking everyone out. Then three days later, heartthrob musician for the Teenage Wolves, Yamato Ishida, disappeared, never to be seen again, until years later.

For seven years, Yamato's only friend was his digimon. During that period of time, Matt discovered his dark powers, and learned control over them, then he and Gabumon decided that the only way to escape the world was to join the Dark Circle, an organization of elemental masters, with different abilities, that planned on ruling over the world, and the Digiworld. Then after one year of joining, they quit. Knowing that what the Circle did was wrong, and they wanted no part in it. But during that year, Yamato had earned the well-known name of Lord of Death…

Flashback ends

Yamato sighed; he looked down at Sora's unconscious features, then slowly he took the unconscious woman in his arms, while drawing up his hood. A wry smile twisted itself unto Yamato's lips, Its been seven years since I felt any major emotion, besides loneliness, anger, and semi-trust he shook his head, shaking the golden spikes out of his eyes, then he called to his digimon, *Gabumon! Let's go. * A faint reply came as he saw his silver digimon arriving swiftly. Then Yamato melted into the forest background, with Gabumon only seconds behind him.

At the same time, in a fortress of solid black stone, stood floating on a massive cliff. Inside the gigantic fortress, three figures dressed in flowing cloaks stood in front of a large window, surveying the landscape in front of them. The tallest one of them, spoke in a deep monotone, his voice giving off a certain coldness, "Do you think that Ishida is onto us yet?" the shortest one snorted, his voice strangely high pitched, "I doubt that, why would he be interested in our affairs anyway?" the middle figure, had a sense of foreboding around him. His voice was like ice, " Because, he might have joined with the rebels. There has been a report on a dark master attacking the group I sent to destroy a village. The group were shaking in their boots when they came back, who else could it be?" the tall figure spoke up, "We never should have let Ishida leave our grounds. He could prove a major threat to us." Then the middle one spoke his voice deadly soft, "That is not our only problem, my blood brothers. There seems to have been a disturbance in the air. The scouts have been reporting things that are bothering me. There apparently have been areas where we sent troops to wipe out villages, that have disappeared, and all of the troops, to the very last man dead. Yet there was no sign of blood, or poison. The thing is that, from the legends I've heard of, that these are all the signs of an Old Mage." The other two gasped, the both said in unison, "That's impossible, they died out!" the middle figure rubbed at the stub of beard on his chin, " well, apparently not. I believe that there is an Old Mage out there, and that he appears to be quite strong. And you know how Old Mages disapprove of dark magic…" the other two cloaked figures nodded. Then the tall figure said softly, turning to stare out at the starry sky, "Then we will have to root the Mage out and kill him. Before he interferes with our business."

Hidden by the shadows of the fortress, a dark figure snorted. Cloud Eclipse murmured underneath his breath, "Let's just see them try." Then he turned around and said to his friend and lover, Crystal, "Let's leave. Shadow, will be waiting for us." And with that the mysterious pair vanished.

Shadow: Cloud's bond companion. A huge black tiger, with silver jagged stripes, and majestic black wings.
