1.1.1 Keeper of Wind
By: Courage and Reliability
Sora said a good-bye to Matt as she and the group left him in that spot. TK's spirit was down because his brother wasn't there to comfort him. Kari tried to comfort TK since she had been through the exact same situation and it worked. Or at least that's what she thought anyway.
"Sora, maybe we should stop." Izzy said as they appeared in a rainforest down south of where they left Matt.
"Yeah, everyone let's rest." Sora said. Everyone slumped down, all happy they were stopping.
"Well Sora, it's just you and me left now." Joe said as he sat down next to Sora.
"Yeah, it's strange though." Sora said. She felt the wind pick up as the clouds got darker and much thicker.
"We might as well take shelter." Izzy said.
"But where?" TK asked. Suddenly, a turtle-like Digimon ran to them, carrying Matt on top of him.
"Need a lift?" Matt asked. Everyone jumped on and felt the wind lash at their faces as they were taken to a castle.
"Good to see you again Matt." Mimi said. Matt nodded.
"I am Xuanmon, guardian of the North." The Digimon replied. He looked like a turtle with a tree on top of his shell. He had 2 heads.
Just then, Baihumon rushed in and looked worried. "Have you seen Tai lately?" Matt shook his head as Xuanmon shook his 2 heads.
"Why?" Kari asked, fear filled her voice. Baihumon looked at her.
"I remember he had to do an errand for me and when I came back an hour later, he wasn't there. He disappeared just yesterday." Baihumon explained.
Kari's eyes widened as tears brimmed her eyes. Tai disappearing wasn't a good sign.
Tai then ran to the group, panting.
"Where were you?" Baihumon asked him. "I was getting worried."
"I ran into a couple of Digimon that serve the one Digimon that the Wind Elder must defeat. I was about to get into deep trouble when Ebonwumon saved me. She let me stay with her until I was well enough to go." Tai explained, still panting from running so fast. Ebonwumon flew into view. She looked like a phoenix only she had a long, thin beak and 12 digicores circling around her waist.
"Sorry to worry you about Tai, Baihumon. He was too weak to continue. Since he took a bad hit." Ebonwumon apologized.
"As long as he is fine then I'm not too worried." Baihumon said, giving her one of his smiles. As those 3 talked, the digidestined were having their own conversation with Tai and Matt.
"Where did you go anyways Tai?" Matt asked.
"Baihumon wanted me to grab some flowers to add to his little garden so I went to find some. I saw some really pretty flowers but I realized after I tried to pick them that they were actually Digimon." Tai explained softly, his hair flowing wildly in the wind.
"Ouch, painful." Palmon said. Tai looked at her and gave a small laugh.
"So how do we find who is the Wind Elder?" Joe asked Matt. Matt shrugged.
"Ask Tai. He's the one who knows." Matt said.
"Hey Tai, how can we find out who's the Wind Elder?" Joe asked Tai. Tai tore his glance away from Palmon and onto the older boy's eyes.
"Just like last time, you and Sora need to see who can read the prophecy." Tai said.
"That's all?" Sora asked. Tai nodded. "I thought it was something much harder than that."
"It is hard, to those who aren't Elders and to the Water Elder. I have instructions to find the Water Elder anyways." Matt said.
"I bet you that Joe is the Water Elder." Gomamon said.
"He might be. You'll see when you find the Wind Elder." Tai said.
Tai took out a small watch and used it to warp everyone to the cave that they would have to enter.
"Listen up, I will take Joe and Sora in to see who can read the prophecy since I know the prophecy, like Matt." Tai said. Joe and Sora walked with Tai into a dimly lit cave with very small writing written on the wall.
"Are we supposed to read this?" Joe asked Tai.
"What do you think I took you in here for?" Tai said.
"I guess we have to read it then." Joe complained.
Sora, unlike Joe, was already busy reading the prophecy. It turned out to be the same prophecy as last time. Joe and Sora went outside and reported that Sora was the Wind Elder. Tai came out shortly after they came out. Matt went over to him and after Tai told him what happened, Matt smiled. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew all of the digidestined into the cave wall. Tai, Matt, and Sora got up, they barely had a scratch on them.
"I am Tundaramon, a virus type Digimon. My Tornado Storm and Gusting Wind attacks are unstoppable." Tundaramon looked like Garudamon, only she was a dark blue and her piercing golden eyes looked deadly.
"Don't stare into her eyes, you will be put under her spell." Tai whispered to the group. Matt looked Tundaramon over, except her eyes.
"Why aren't you looking me in the eyes, Ice Elder? Afraid that you may be put under a spell?" She asked teasingly. She tried to pick up Matt when Tai got in his way.
"Ahh, so it's the Fire Elder, the leader of the digidestined and Elders. You'll make a great warrior." Tundaramon said, holding him up to eye level. Tai closed his eyes and the Digimon started screaming. Tai was released from her grip but hit the ground hard. Sora ran over, much too worried about her love being hurt badly.
"Are you alright?" Sora asked, tears forming in her eyes. Tai nodded slowly. He took his hand and stroked her cheek.
"Sh Sora. I'll be fine." He said weakly. Tai then lost consciousness. Sora held him in her arms and sobbed on his shirt. (Author's Note: Aww… isn't that cute? I just had to add that. Maybe I'll feature this more often in future stories.) After she stopped sobbing, she looked at Tundaramon, her eyes glowing with anger.
"You hurt my boyfriend, now you must pay for I am the Wind Elder." Sora said. Tundaramon stared at her with fear in her eyes and she suddenly laughed nervously.
"You think a puny little digital human would hurt me? I think not." Tundaramon taunted. Sora narrowed her eyes and summoned up a tornado that was so powerful it can destroy anything.
"It's time you were put back where you belong." Sora whispered coldly as Tundaramon was sucked up in the twister. Everyone sighed in relief, at least most of them. Kari went over to where Tai had passed out on top of Sora.
"I-Is he going to be okay?" Kari sobbed. Sora looked up at her and shrugged.
"I don't know, Kari. I sure hope so." Sora said, peering down at Tai. Joe came over and started to check up on him to see if he had any bad injuries. Not a single scratch was on him, not even a broken bone from that death defying fall.
A day later, the group was just discussing what had happened a day ago when Tai started to wake up. He groaned and opened his eyes to peer at a smiling Biyomon.
"Good day Tai. The others, especially Sora and Kari were worried you wouldn't make it." Biyomon said, a huge smile replaced her sad face. Tai gave a small nod and got up. Baihumon, Xuanmon, and Ebonwumon noticed Tai was awake. Baihumon looked relieved.
"Glad you're up and wide awake." Ebonwumon said, "Because we are going to have quite a walk to our meeting place after we find the Water Elder." Tai nodded.
Sora and Matt saw Tai and they both hugged him tightly. The 3 Digi-gods laughed as the rest of the team hugged him also.
"Well, we must wait until Joe finds his power." Sora said, staring at Joe. Joe looked at her and nodded. He knew he was going to be the Water Elder. Joe knew it.
When will Joe find his powers? Find out in the next chapter: Seeker of Water.
