CHAPTER 2
YOU ARE JUST MY LOVE

A cool morning breeze began to blow through Tokyo. Love is flowing in the air. The first
day of spring has just arrived into the city, and the people are happily getting together. The cherry blossoms flow through the wind towards a little house near a flower shop. A young girl slept in her bed all warm and full of thoughts. She hugged a little teddy bear next to her and smiled. The birds outside began to chirp happily. A mother of a robin placed a worm into its nest and the babies took them and ate them all up. The mother cried happily as she saw the babies flap their wings gently in the cool breeze. This was a day for peace and harmony, the robins could feel it in their hearts.

A door opened up and a young mother came in. She walked towards the young girl on the
bed. Still dreaming about the next time she will wake up and smell the crisp, fresh air of the spring air. Her mother brushed through her hair gently, preventing any pain to reach her. "My daughter, all grown up," she said. The girl smiled in her sleep and hugged the doll harder. Her mother opened up a window to let some air into the stuffy room. A petal from a cherry blossom blew in and touched the girl's hair. It landed gently on the side of her bed. "Sora, wake up," the mother said kissing the girl. She opened up her eyes and allowed the wind to take her sleepiness away.

"Ohayo, my daughter," she said. Sora stretched out her arms and got out of bed. "Ohayo
Mama," Sora said hugging her. "It's a beautiful day outside. The first day of spring is the most special," her mom said. She left the room with some of Sora's dirty clothing. Sora got on some clean clothing and went towards the living room. She yawned and sat on the couch. "I wonder." She wondered as she saw a pile of envelopes on the coffee table. She picked them up and looked at one of them. "Oh, one of these is for me," she said holding it. It had a heart sticker enclosing it. It did not say whom it was from though. "How did this get here? I thought you couldn't deliver mail unless they say who wrote it." She looked around the room to see if anybody was watching. She opened up the heart sticker and looked inside.

"What?" she gasped. Inside the envelope was a box of heart stickers and confetti.
Attached to it was a note filled with heart stamps. "I wonder who wrote this," she said. She began to open it when suddenly, she heard her mom calling her. "Sora San, I need help arranging these flowers!" she cried. "Alright Mom!" she responded. She dropped the letter onto the table and walked down the stairs and into the garden. As she walked down the stairs, she wondered to herself about the letter. Who wrote it? Why were there so many hearts on it? These puzzling questions got her attention. She opened the door and found her mother arranging some roses. "There you are Sora," she said. "Yeah, so, what do you want me to do?" Sora asked. "I want you to help me with these. Somehow, these flowers have been all arranged in a way that seems disruptive in the peace."

"How is that?" asked Sora. "Look, someone has arranged them into a heart full of black ink."
Her mom pointed to it and Sora gasped. It was true. A heart was made but had lots of black ink all over it. "Who did this?" asked Sora. "I don't know. It took me hours, even days, to make this flower. Now, it is all black with darkness." Sora saw that her mom was crying a little. "Don't worry mom. I'll help you make another heart," she said. "Thank you, my daughter." Her mom walked inside and looked back. "I'll make breakfast," she said winking a little. "Thanks mom," she said. Sora took a small shovel and took out the flower heart full of black ink. She placed it onto the ground. "Whoever did this must be selfish," she said. She took out some seeds and placed them into the soil.

Sora went into the backyard and took a pail. She went to the hose and filled the pail up
with purified water. She then walked back to the front part of the flowers and placed the pail on top of the steps of the wooden stairs. She went to another part of the flowers and watered some of the fragrant flowers near her room. She measured each drop of water equally. She didn't want to give too much or to not give it much as it needs. "Don't worry flowers, you'll be safe," she said. She gently touched the flower petals when suddenly, the flower itself collapsed. "What the?" she gasped. She was shocked to see the flower that she gently touched crack into dust. "Oh no, what just happened here?" asked Sora. The flower's dust blew away into the air.

Sora stepped back from the flower. She ran up into the house and into the rooms of the
house. "Mom!" she cried out, but no one answered. "Mom!" she cried again. She walked into the kitchen to find eggs untouched and the frying pan turned off, nothing was even on it. She walked into the living room to find no one in there. "Where could she be?" she wondered to herself. "She walked into her parent's room. No one was also inside the room. "Mom, dad, anybody?" she cried out in the house. "That's strange. They would always tell me when they were leaving," she said. She ran out the front door and found that the car was still there. "I guess, they walked to someplace." She took the pail of water and sighed. Pouring a few drops of water into each flower, but then, each flower just shriveled up and fell apart.

"Oh my gosh!" Sora cried. She dropped the pail of water and the liquid splashed out.
She covered her mouth and looked at the flowers. Each one, every single one, was totally shriveled up. "Did I do something wrong?" she cried. "I better call someone for service. She ran back into the house and picked up the phone. She wondered whom she should call at this time. "Taichi!" she yelled. She dialed Taichi's number in and waited. It rang about two times before someone answered it. "Yes, Yagami residence," a voice said. "May I speak to Taichi please?" asked Sora. "Oh, is that you Sora? Sorry, Taichi isn't here right now," the voice said. "Well, thanks anyway," she said. She hung up and looked behind her and gasped. All the leaves and flowers inside her house were all yellow and had a very bad smell. "What's happening?" she cried.

Suddenly, Sora heard the phone ring. She went over to pick it up. "Hello, Sora speaking,"
she said. "Yes, so, you're Sora?" a young voice asked. "Yes, that's me," she said. Then, the phone produced a static voice. "Hello?" cried Sora. Then, there was no more sound. "Hello?" cried Sora. She hung up the phone. "Man, what a strange day it has been," she said. She looked to her right and saw that letter she had found earlier. She picked it up and opened it up. "What the?" she gasped. The letter had only a swirl in the middle and thousands of heart stamps around it. The phone rang again and she picked it up. "Hello?" "Sora, come quick. This is Koushirou, something is wrong with the Digital World!" he cried. "Koushirou, but, what's wrong?" she cried. "There's no time to explain, come quick."

Sora hung up the phone and putted on a jacket. She ran out the house and the black ink
heart fell to the ground. It began to vanish and soon enough, it mysteriously disappeared. Sora ran down to Koushirou's house. She ran down the street and everywhere she looked, she saw dead flowers and leaves. "What in the world is going on?" she asked. At Koushirou's house, she saw him in the front porch. "Koushirou San!" Sora cried. "There you are," he said. "What's going on in the Digital World?" Sora asked. "Taichi and the others are all there. I contacted you because you and I are the only ones not there," he said. "Let's go," Sora cried. The two ran through the streets until they reached the computer lab at school. "I know that we can't go into the Digital World with the old Digivices, so I borrowed Miyako's in exchange for mines. Ready?" Koushirou asked. "Let's do it," Sora said taking her Digivice out.

"Alright, where do we start?" asked Sora. The two were in a flower patch. "Taichi told
me they were at a lake somewhere," he said. Koushirou activated Miyako's Digivice and formed a map. "I sense that they are a couple of miles north," he said. "We better get there as soon as we can," Sora said. Sora and Koushirou walked into a forest full of dust. "The Digivice says that they should be right over there in the next twist," he said. Suddenly, Koushirou fell down to the ground. "Koushirou!" Sora cried. She went over to help him but then, he slapped her in the face! Sora fell down and scratched her left knee. "Koushirou, are you alright?" Sora asked. Koushirou got up and laughed evilly. "Yeah, I'm fine," he said walking towards Sora. Then, he kicked her in the right knee.

"Oh no!" she cried out in pain. "What are you doing Koushirou?" asked Sora. "Be quiet,
I can't believe I got stuck helping you out!" he said. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Be quiet, I say be quiet!" he cried throwing a rock towards Sora. Sora got up and ran out of the way. "Come back here freak!" he cried. "I'm not done with you yet," he said. "Stop it Koushirou!" she yelled. "Stop this foolish attempt to find the others. You'll just get in the way!" he cried. Koushirou jumped up and punched Sora causing her to fall back down. "You though that we were friends, then think again!" Sora began to shiver with fear. She got up and ran away from Koushirou and into the forest, tears escaping her lonely cold eyes. "Your heart will never last!" she heard him say, just before she could no longer see him.

Sora ran down the tropical forest, trying to get away from Koushirou. Her bruises were
still there on her arm. Tears crept out of her eyes, and the wind blew beneath her arms. "I don't understand, how come it's so dark here. I feel like my heart had dies," she cried. She stepped into another world. A world where friendship is the only thing she couldn't find. A world where she was found to be the only one without love. She stepped forward and touched a golden mirror. Her fingers felt the smoothness, and then, it shattered into a thousand pieces. Sora screamed and fell down to the ground. Leaves and ferns fell onto her hair. Sora reached for one and found it was caught onto her hair hard. She couldn't pull it out. Then, even more dust fell down. Sora opened her eyes and looked up.

"What the..." she moaned. Dust slowly fell onto her hair. She got up and wiped away her
tears. She looked up to find a Digimon standing there. "What," she cried. It was a weird weed creature with petals full of powders. "Hi!" it said. "Who are you?" asked Sora. "Oh, my name is Yuukimon." The creature got up and smiled at Sora. "I live in the woods of the Digital World. My special attack is the sweet fragrance attack. It's not that affective, but smells pretty," it said. "Well, my name is Sora." "Why are you here?" asked Yuukimon. "I don't know. My friend just yelled and abandoned me just back there," Sora said pointing to Koushirou. "That's sad," Yuukimon said. "Have you seen a bird like Digimon names Piyomon?" asked Sora. "Piyomon, yeah, she's my special friend."

"Can you take me to her?" asked Sora. "Sure," Yuukimon said. "Follow me," she said.
Sora and Yuukimon ran down a dirt road and into the dark woods. Suddenly, a young lady appeared behind Sora and Yuukimon. "My plan is working," it said. She looked back and a shadowy figure stood. It was Koushirou, and Tentomon! "Where's the girl?" she asked. "I'm sorry, but she escaped before I could kill her. I found Tentomon here, he will not cooperate with us," Koushirou said holding up a tied up Tentomon. "Koushirou! What are you doing? Aren't we friends?" cried Tentomon. The lady snickered. "Friends, are you?" asked the lady to Koushirou. "Of course not, this Digimon is not helpful, so we'll force him to help us," Koushirou said throwing Tentomon towards the lady. "Please Koushirou," pleaded Tentomon. "Be quiet, from now on, you're one of us," said Koushirou holding up his crest.

"What do you know about that girl?" asked the lady. "Well, for one thing, she contains
the crest of Love. One of the purest crest in this world. At first she didn't think that the crest was hers, but eventually, that all changed," Koushirou said. "Koushirou, why are you doing this?" asked Tentomon. "It's none of your business," the lady cried. She snapped her fingers and a green crystal appeared. She cracked it open and Tentomon was zapped into it. "Finally that closed him up. Now, all I have to do is curse that girl, and she will be mines," the lady said. Koushirou bowed down and laughed. "That girl is easily fooled by our powers. That Yuukimon better not tell her anything," Koushirou said glancing up at the lady. "Once I have that golden crest of love my powers will be tremendous."

"Yuukimon, are we there yet?" asked Sora pushing away a few shrubs and branches. "Almost
Sora. Piyomon is at the village of the Yokomons." Sora pushed some more branches away from her face. The two girls found the way out and had to crawl through a small hole on a shrub. Sora glanced up and gasped. The Yokomon village was filled with hundreds of Yokomons. "Wow, Yuukimon, is this where you live?" asked Sora. "Yeah, although I am the only Yuukimon here, I still like it," she said walking down a path. The Yokomons turned back and began to hop around. "Princess Yuukimon! Princess Yuukimon!" they chanted. Sora watched as Yuukimon made her way through the crowd. Sora followed her and found herself next to a small hut.

"Piyomon!" cried Sora. A pink bird turned around and gasped in happiness. "Sora, my
friend!" she cried. Piyomon flew up to her and hugged her very tightly. "We finally meet again," she said. "Yeah, it's been a while." "Alright, enough with the emotional acts Piyomon," said Yuukimon snickering a little. "Don't forget Piyomon, you promised to help us find out what is wrong with one of the Yokomons," Yuukimon said. "Sure, would you like to help Sora?" Piyomon asked. "Sure," she said happily. Just then, a weird beam was shot down and it nailed Piyomon. "Piyomon!" Yuukimon and Sora both cried. Piyomon rolled over and Sora saw her wounded wing. "No!" Sora cried. "Who did this?" Yuukimon cried looking back. A person was floating on a red orb. "Hello friends," she said holding her hair. "Who are you, and what do you want?" asked Sora.

"Never mind me, young creatures like you should have more fun," she said snapping
her fingers. Just then, two Digital Eggs appeared and they both exploded. In place was a teddy bear and a toy bird. "Hi!" they both cried. "I'm Tedumon, a champion Digimon filled with happiness." "I'm Chiamon, another champion Digimon filled with happiness." The two both clapped their hands as Sora and Yuukimon stared. "Come now, have some fun!" Chiamon cried. It shot out its wings and sharp silver feathers appeared. "Feather Hazard!" Chiamon flew up and shot out its hard feathers. "Run!" cried Yuukimon. Sora held Piyomon in her arms as the two ran into the hut. The Yokomons all screamed and ran off into their own huts. "You can't hide!" cried Tedumon. He formed a star in his hand. "Love Me Hug!" The star broke into five pieces and each one headed towards a different direction.

A star blade went through a hut and sliced off the top half. The star appeared in front of
Sora. Brown string shot out and grabbed Sora's arms. "What?" she cried as she was being tossed outside. "Oh no, Sora!" Yuukimon cried as she saw Sora fall to the ground with a thud. Yuukimon ran outside to find Tedumon and Chiamon laughing. "Now my darlings, take her crest," the woman said. "Gladly!" they said. "Sweet Fragrance!" A sweet perfume smell came out and the two paused. "What's that smell?" they cried. "It smells so pretty!" Chiamon said sniffing it. Chiamon and Tedumon both fell to the ground. "What, how did those two faint?" gasped the lady. Yuukimon ran towards the little hill. "Who are you?" she cried. The lady glared at her and took off her clear glasses. "Are you addressing me?" she asked. "Yeah!" Yuukimon said. The lady fell down and touched her brooch.

Her brooch turned green and suddenly, a Digimon appeared. Sora managed to get up
and walked up to Yuukimon. "Is that, Tentomon!" Sora cried. "Tentomon, go!" Sora heard a voice. She looked up and found Koushirou standing there, holding up a Digivice. It was Miyako's! He threw it to the ground and laughed. "Tentomon, attack!" he commanded. "No!" Tentomon said. He turned to Sora and cried. "Help me Sora, I'm in an invisible force that stops me to help you!" "Tentomon, I'll get you out!" Sora cried. "Stop!" Tentomon cried. Sora reached for him but then, an energy wave shocked her and she fell down again. "I command you to attack," Koushirou said. "Never, what's wrong with you Koushirou?" asked Tentomon. "That's it, he'll need my magic," the lady cried. She took out a microchip. "Here!" she cried. She threw the microchip towards Tentomon and he got shocked.

Tentomon's eyes turned red and he laughed evilly. "That's better Tentomon," Koushirou
said. Tentomon agreed and hissed. "Now, Digivolve!" he cried. "No..." gasped Sora. "Piyomon," she cried. "Wake up Piyomon," Sora said. "We have to get them away from the village," Sora said. "Let's go," Yuukimon said. The three ran into a forest as far from the village. "No, they escaped," the lady said. "After them," the lady said. "Digivolve," Koushirou said. Tentomon began to change form. His head busted out and wings appeared. "Yes, come now, Kabuterimon," he said. Kabuterimon nodded and knelt down. The lady and Koushirou both got on. "Let's find those girls," the lady said. "I will find them," Koushirou said.

Sora, Yuukimon, and Piyomon all ran threw the forest, where they found a small cave.
"Look, we can hide in there and heal Piyomon," Sora said. "Smart thinking," Yuukimon said as the group went inside. The cave was dark indeed. Trickles of water dropped from the ceiling. They dropped into a crystal pond that showed the clear reflection. Yuukimon gathered some leaves and grass. Sora placed Piyomon on it. She got a small towel from her scarf and dipped it into the water. She folded it up and died it up. She placed it onto Piyomon's wing. "Guess we're not alone," someone said. "Who said that?" asked Sora. Sora saw a little flame at the end of the cave. She walked into it and gasped in happiness. "Jou, Taichi, Hikari, what are you doing here?" Sora asked.

"Well Sora, we came to the Digital World to help out Koushirou. An evil is here," Taichi
said. "He's right, a group of Tedumon's and Chiamon's appeared and led us into this cave," Hikari said. "We figured out that more of us was out there, at that's when you come in," Jou said. "Well, it is safe outside, come on," Sora said. They all got their stuff and walked towards Piyomon. "What happened to Piyomon?" asked Jou. "A strange person attacked us. Koushirou was with her, he's changed," Sora said. Yuukimon was making some tea for Piyomon. Sora introduced each other. "So, you're also the Digidestines?" Yuukimon asked. "Yes, all of us," Taichi said. Just then, Taichi fell down to the ground holding his neck in pain. "Taichi!" Hikari cried out holding him. Then, Hikari also fell down. Jou did the same. "What's going on?" gasped Sora.

Taichi and the others slowly got up. "What do you want Sora?" asked Taichi. "What
do you mean?" asked Sora. "Answer the question!" exclaimed Jou slapping Sora. Piyomon got up and rubbed her wings. "It feels a little better," she said. She looked up and greeted Taichi, Hikari, and Jou. "Be quiet Piyomon," Jou said throwing some dirt on her. Sora got up and pulled Piyomon out of the way. She slowly took her up and walked out of the cave with Yuukimon. "Come here Sora Chan," said Hikari. "Yeah, baka no Sora," Jou said. Sora gasped at the words. "I know how it feels to be the most dumbest person in class." "Stupid in science and tennis." "Retired player for soccer, we know it all." Sora fell down and her mind filled up with negative forces.

"Sora, don't listen to them," Piyomon said hugging her. "No, they're right." Sora closed
her eyes and groaned. "Bad dentistry." "Part of the boring tennis club." "Friends that don't care about you." Sora rubbed her eyes and started to release tears. "No, they're totally right." "No Sora, they're wrong," said Piyomon. Piyomon looked back and glared. "Take back what you said!" she cried. "Why, it's a fact." "Yeah Piyomon, caring for a useless friend." "You're not actually friends with this freak are you?" "Stop it right now," Yuukimon said. "Sweet Fragrance," Yuukimon said spreading out her powders. Suddenly, a large black beam smashed down and slammed Jou, Taichi, and Hikari down to the ground. Sora looked up and gasped. The three were lying on the ground, not moving.

"This can't be happening," Sora said. Sora and Yuukimon looked up and saw
Koushirou and his Digimon flying over. He landed onto the ground and Koushirou and the lady walked down. "Finally I've found you," she said. "Tell me who you are," said Sora. "Very well, my name," the lady changed form and now looked like a heart monster. She had heart earrings and had a heart on her shoes. Her hands had five long fingers with heart nails. "My name is Daiheartmon, I am after you young girl. I am the second warrior that will turn the world into a dead place. My sister Ecasamon wasn't very strong, so I'm here. I have to warn you, I am stronger than you might think," she said. "Digimon, attack!" she commanded. Kabuterimon flew up and formed a huge lightning orb. "Electro Shocker!" The lightning ball clashed into the ground, barely missing Sora.

"I have to Digivolve Sora," said Piyomon. "No Piyomon, you are hurt, I can't let you
fight," Sora said. "If you don't, we'll be in big trouble," Piyomon said. "Don't worry, I'll help," said Yuukimon. "Sweet Fragrance!" A sweet smell came out and Kabuterimon sniffed it and coughed. He swished the smell away with his wings and sent it back to Yuukimon. Yuukimon tried to block it but it was no use. Yuukimon fell to the ground and went to sleep. "Yuukimon, oh no," Sora said. "Finish it off," Daiheartmon said. Kabuterimon formed a lightning bolt. "Electro Shocker!" The lightning bolt stroked down towards Sora. Sora couldn't take her eyes off and covered her eyes. Just then, something got shocked, and it wasn't Sora. Sora looked up and screamed in pain.

Piyomon had taken the hit for her. She saw her feathers fall down and Piyomon's eyes
turning into a pale color. Sora screamed and cried out in pain. Piyomon fell to the ground next to her. "Sora... you're... alright," Piyomon mumbled. Piyomon closed her eyes and fell unconscious. Sora's heart was thumping now. Her anger and sadness were both together now. She wanted to destroy Daiheartmon. "Oh, and by the way, did you get my letter?" she asked. Sora now remembered the letter full of hearts that she wanted to burn when she got back. Just then, a strange egg appeared in front of her. It cracked open and Sora's Digivice glowed a pink light. Her Digivice got upgraded and Piyomon floated up. Sora saw her bruises and cried again. "This won't end like this!" Sora's chest glowed a red light and Piyomon also glowed pink. She began to glitter into a silver bird.

Piyomon opened her eyes and her wings flapped open. Sora rolled back and saw her.
Piyomon's eyes glowed green and a silver feather appeared in each of her wings. "Piyomon!" The egg appeared and zapped into Piyomon. "Digital Love!" Her body grew bigger and claws appeared. Her back grew two silver wings and her old ones disappeared leaving a glass armor. "Digivolve!" Her head grew bigger feathers and her beak got longer and sharper. "To!" Light blazed through her majestic feathers and there stood a new Digimon. Sora had never seen her before. She could only gasp at the amazing sight of the Digimon that was once Piyomon. "I am, the warrior of love," she said calmly. "Could it be?" gasped Daiheartmon. "Piyomon?" cried Sora. She looked towards Sora and nodded. "I am Zephyrmon, a winged Digimon that was Digivolved into an unknown stage from Piyomon. My Silent Wing attack is caused by my special wings of love."

"Zephyrmon?" cried Sora. Zephyrmon flew up into the air and smiled. "What are you
smiling about? Kabuterimon, go!" Daiheartmon cried. Kabuterimon flew up into the air and charged towards Zephyrmon. His horn made energy waves that sparked out electricity. "Electro Shocker!" The claw reached for Zephyrmon but she just dodged the attack gracefully. She flew away from him and formed a storm in the air. "Silent Wing!" She twirled around and the air storm formed a twister that captured Kabuterimon. He spun around about ten times before the twister disappeared. Then Zephyrmon stopped spinning and Kabuterimon fell to the ground. Sora ran out of the way and closed her eyes. Kabuterimon Digivolved back into a Pabumon. Koushirou's eyes fell weak and he also fainted. Pabumon was on the ground sleeping.

"Darn it, when you need help these days, you have to do it yourself," Daiheartmon cried
with anger. She formed a heart in her hand and threw it into the air. "Heart Attack!" The heart headed straight towards Zephyrmon. Zephyrmon tried to dodge it but it was too fast. It smashed her face and she sank down a little. Daiheartmon formed another heart, and another. "Deadly Beauty!" The two hearts cracked and thorns came out and wrapped Zephyrmon. "I can't move!" she cried. "Zephyrmon!" Sora cried running to her. "Stop, save yourself," Zephyrmon said. "No, I won't leave you," Sora said. "Then why don't you join us?" asked Daiheartmon. She wrapped Sora around with a heart chain. Sora fell to the ground and got dragged by her. "I'll let you in on a secret, your friends, I changed them," she said. "I took out their love for you, and now, say good bye to your crest."

Suddenly, Sora's Digivice exploded with light. Zephyrmon de-Digivolved back into
Piyomon and she gasped. Daiheartmon stepped back and tripped, releasing the two girls. "What is that annoying light?" she cried. Piyomon formed a larger wing than ever before. "Piyomon!" The wings extended and her beak got bigger. "Warp Digivolve To!" She got marks all over her body. "Hououmon!" Sora gasped at the sight of Piyomon warp Digivolving to Hououmon. "No, this cannot be right," Daiheartmon said. "You can't beat me," said Hououmon. "Sora, I will protect you." "Thank you, Hououmon," Sora said. Daiheartmon groaned and glared. "You may think that I have given up, but I've just started," she said. She formed another heart in her hand. "Heart Attack!" Another heart shot towards Hououmon. Hououmon formed a fire ring in her hand. "Crimson Flame!" The fire ring shot Daiheartmon's heart and headed straight for her.

The attack burned Daiheartmon and now she was really angry. "You better not hurt me,
because young girl, I have something you dear the most in your life," Daiheartmon said. She snapped her fingers and a crystal quartz appeared. Inside the quartz was the mother of Sora! "It can't be," Sora cried. "It can and it is," Daiheartmon said laughing. 'If you destroy me, you'll destroy your mother also. Think this over, if your Digimon attacks me, you can say good-bye to your mom here." Inside Sora's mind, she could feel the pain that her mother was feeling right now. "In order to save her, you must sacrifice your crest." "But, the crests were destroyed!" Sora yelled. "I know, but, as you can see, the crest is in your pure heart, now give it to me," she cried. Sora stepped back in fear. "Remember, if you don't cooperate, your mother will be killed," Daiheartmon said.

Sora had to think about this. Hououmon looked towards Sora. "What ever you think
of is the right thing," Hououmon said. Sora couldn't think right now. "I can't think. I have to do this if it's for my mother's safety," she said. Sora got up and brushed off her hair. "Fine, you may have it," she said looking down. "I know you would come my way," she said. She formed another heart in her hand. Suddenly, a group of Yokomon's popped out and head butted Daiheartmon. "Hey, you little rodents," she cried. "Maybe you can tackle me, but I know a way to turn them against you." Daiheartmon waved her hand in the air and the Yokomons froze. "Yokomon," Sora said running towards them. Then, the Yokomons looked back and glared. They jumped up and tackled Sora down to the ground. "No!" she cried Daiheartmon laughed at her. "Oh yeah, my job," she said. She formed another heart in her palms. "Heart Attack!" The heart swung into the air straight for Hououmon.

Hououmon dodged the attack with ease. "Your heart attack is no match for me," she said.
Hououmon formed a fire spiral in her arms. She generated more energy into it, causing it to grow in size. "I can't lose by this," Daiheartmon said. Hououmon released the energy spiral into Daiheartmon. "Crimson Flame!" The flames turned to slashes. Daiheartmon ran for cover and the fire shattered on the ground, causing it to shake. The Yokomon's that were tackling Sora stopped and fainted. Sora got up and rubbed her nose. She was bleeding. The Yokomons rolled over. "The Yokomons all lost their love for me," Sora said. "We better finish off Daiheartmon," she said to Hououmon. "Yes Sora!" Hououmon cried. "Don't worry Sora, I'm alright," someone cried. Sora looked back and gasped.

"Mama?" she murmured staring at her. "Yes Sora, I'm alright," she said. "But, how?"
Sora asked. "What, you thought that your own mother can't fight?" she asked. Sora smiled a little, but was still confused of how she got out of the situation. "I'm so glad you're safe," Sora said. "Yes, I was so frighten that I would lose you," she said hugging Sora. Sora suddenly felt a cold when her mom hugged her. "Mom," she said pushing her away slowly. "What's wrong Sora?" she asked. "Is it just me, but have you gotten colder?" Sora asked. "Why is that?" her mom asked. "Come on child of love," she said walking closer. "What did you just call me?" Sora asked. "Oh, I called you the child of, oh no," her mom stepped back. "Sora, it's me, right?" she asked. "My mother never calls me the child of love, Hououmon, this is not my mother!" she cried. "Sora..." Hououmon looked towards the fake mother. "Crimson Flame!" The fire slashed at her fake mother. She covered her eyes and screamed. She was caught on fire.

A ghostly figure came out and struggled to breath. "Why you!" she cried. "I knew it,
I can see through your silly tricks," she said. "So, you think you've defeated me? You haven't seen my best attack," she said. She formed another heart in her hands. Only this time, it was glowing a black color and had a crack in the middle. "Heart Ache!" The heart was unleashed and headed straight for Hououmon. It grew bigger with each second passed. "Now Hououmon!" she cried. Hououmon turned the sky into a dark gray. "Star Light!" Light clashed down and so did lightning. "Explosion!" A lightning bolt rushed down and crashed on the heart, reversing its stage. The heart headed straight for Daiheartmon. It now had lightning bolts attached to it. "Oh no, I failed," she said gazing into the sky, and then, a red light appeared, sending Daiheartmon to the sky...

Hououmon Digivolved back into Yokomon. The others, Taichi, and the Pabumon's, slowly
awoke from their deep slumber. Koushirou, who was still up in the air, rolled down the little hill holding Pabumon. Each one was asleep, sleeping soundlessly. A few minutes later, Koushirou and the others had woken up. "Well, what happened?" asked Taichi. "Nothing much, let's get back," Sora said giving a thumbs up. "Don't worry Sora, I'll help out at the village still," Yokomon said. The other Yokomons clapped and Yuukimon followed them back to the village. "Well, the monitor's right here," Hikari said. The others held up their Digivices as the Digimon waved back. The group went through the gate of the Digital World. When they got back, they crashed landed on Miyako. "Hey Koushirou, where's my Digivice?" she asked. "Oh, here," he said. Miyako quickly took it back and rushed out. "What was that all about?" asked Taichi. "Who knows?" asked Sora.

Sora left the school and walked home. When she got back, Sora saw her mom there.
"Oh my gosh, mom!" she cried. She looked out and saw Sora. "Hello Sora," she said happily. "Where have you been, my flower bouquet is almost complete," she said. She showed it to Sora and she gasped at the marvelous work she had done. it had all of Sora's favorite flowers all over it. It actually said those words on it. "Who is this for?" she asked. "For you, thanks to your hard work working on the family garden." Sora took it and laughed. "Arigato," she said hugging her. Sora walked into the house, kicked off her shoes, and went into her room, so she could add the bouquet that her mom made into her own little garden, just outside her window, where love is. "Mom, I will always love you."
