Yamatoforever: Thanks . . .^_^. That is pretty cool how you thought of the violin and stuff. . .Trust me, originally that part wasn't really supposed to happen. As for Matt controlling the Mist. . . Well you'll see soon enough. Maybe not in this chapter, but most likely in the next.

"Matt!" Mimi all but shouted and threw her arms around him, giving him a long hug. She pulled back, feeling everyone's eyes on her. She pulled away, and muttered, "Sorry."
Matt titled his head and smiled wider. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and said, softly, "Don't be, Meems, cuz I know you're a caring person."
Mimi blushed and touched her cheek in which Matt's lips had touched. She had always had a secret crush on the blonde, but never told anyone, not even Sora, and she usually told Sora everything.
"We were about to go look for you," Tk offered, smiling a little. "We weren't sure where you went off to, or what was happening."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you guys like that," Matt said quietly, gently caressing his harmonica. "But apparently, who ever has aided you guys in the past, helped me as well. It seems to be that my harmonica is an important asset as to what is happening."
Izzy and Joe exchanged a glance and both said, "Fortuenmon."
"It has to be," Yolie added. "And probably whoever else is helping her as well."
"Wow, then we really must need to save the Digital World," Davis said bluntly. "In order for us to receive all this help."
"Davis!" Sora yelled, throwing up her hands and lunging at the younger boy, shaking him.
"Wh-wh-what?" He managed to stutter out between the shakes.
Everyone stared.
"Stop having your moments! It's starting to freak me out! Izzy's the smart one! Ken's the smart one! They're the geniuses!" Sora shouted, finally dropping his shoulders and taking a deep breath.
Everyone continued to stare.
Sora blinked and grinned sheepishly. She rubbed her neck in the spot in which the digimon had bitten her. "Maybe. . .Oh, Davis, I'm so sorry! Maybe it's the bite that's getting to me!" She said, her voice breaking a little.
Davis stared. "Maybe I'm just hanging around Ken too much." He finally said.
Ken held up a hand. "Whoa, whoa, Davis, you're my friend, but please do not drag me into this!" He said, and then he pointed at Sora. "She is crazy! I don't want her after me!"
Matt snickered and patted Sora's shoulder. "Hey, Sora, maybe you should ease up a little, huh?" He told her.
Sora sighed and rolled her eyes. "Okay, I say we just move on. Let's just. . . Go and destroy the evil digimon. . ." She said.
"Yeah, before she destroys me!" Davis hissed at Ken, who just smirked.
"Um, I'm totally up for that idea!" Yolie put in, not wanting Sora to attack Davis again. "Cuz the sooner we do this, the sooner we can relax and whatever."
"Okay, guys, do we have a plan?" Tai asked, clapping his hands, and taking the role of the leader, as everyone gathered around him.
"I might, but. . .You guys might not like it." Matt spoke up quietly.
Sora and Tai exchanged uneasy glances. Tai sighed softly. "Matt, I have a feeling that I might even like it, but please tell us. Cuz your idea might be the only one we might have." He replied.
"Okay, guys, listen up, this is my plan. . ."Matt began and everyone leaned in so they could hear.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Tai crouched beside Sora and sighed softly. He closed his eyes and leaned his head on his hands, not liking it. Not liking the idea that Matt had. It was risky and if Sinistermon didn't do exactly had Matt said he would, the plan would be totally off.
Sora sensed his discomfort and rested her head on his shoulder and said, softly, "Tai, you know he has to do it. It is apart of the prophecy if he dies."
Tai gazed into Sora's understanding brown eyes. "I know, and he'll come back. But that doesn't mean that I should watch his death the first time around, now does it?" He replied.
"No, I guess not." Sora replied softly. "Actually, we shouldn't have to watch any kind of death."
"Yeah, I know. But. . .why Matt? Why him?" Tai asked.
"Because of the feelings he has. . .had. I guess despair and loneliness can be strong at times." Sora answered the best she could. "He had an input in this whole thing. Funny, and now he has the control of the Mist."
"So. . .we should be in and out of this gig, right?" Davis asked a little distance off, half eavesdropping to their conversation, and half paying attention to out where Matt stood off, in the middle waiting for the right moment.
Tai turned his gaze onto Davis, ready to snap at the younger boy who seemed so uncaring and not very understanding. But Tai gazed into Davis' brown eyes and he closed his own, noticing that Davis's eyes were so full of hope and full of concern, he felt bad for thinking that Davis wouldn't care.
"I hope so, Dai, I hope so," Tai replied softly. "Because I've got a bad feeling about this whole thing."
Davis nodded his head slowly. "Oh, so you feel it too?" He replied quietly. "Because I'm not liking this right about now."
Tai just sighed, and Sora leaned forward, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Don't worry so, Tai, everything's going to be fine!" She said, trying to reassure him. "We have to trust Matt, Tai. . .We can't lose hope in him."
"But he's my best friend," He protested. "Do you think I want to see him die?" He shot back.
"No, but he. . .Tai," Sora said slowly. "Does Matt know about the prophecy and him dying?" She suddenly asked.
Tai stared. "You know what, I don't know." He answered honestly.
~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
Matt stared at the ground, his eyebrows down in a frown, as he thought about the plan he was about to pull. He folded his arms over his chest and seemed to stare harder at the ground. Would this plan of his possibly work? Would it, so the Digital World could restore and have it's peace yet again?
He sighed and thought, Too much is riding on this plan, oh, I hope it works! He briefly closed his eyes and slowed his breathing down, trying to relax.
"You can do it, Matt," came a soft voice from his right.
Matt opened his eyes and turned to stare into the warm, concerned brown eyes of Mimi. She gave him a little smile. "Don't give up hope, okay? We're all here for you, no matter what happens." She told him quietly.
Matt gave a smile and a nod, letting her know that he had heard what she had said. But he thought he detected a tremor in her voice as she spoke. Like she knew something was going to happen and hadn't told him. In fact, now that he thought about it, it seemed like the group that came through the digi port did in fact know of something. He bit his lip, wondering what it was.
"Show time, Matt." Tai's voice rang out from behind his cover. "It's now or never, buddy."
"I know. . ." Matt replied. He closed his eyes for a second and then unfolded his arms and placed his harmonica on his lips in a fluid movement that Mimi had to blink to realize he had moved. It was so graceful in her eyes.
But then again, everything about him is graceful, Mimi thought to herself, smiling, and tensing up from her hiding spot, waiting for Sinistermon to appear with Matt's harmonica.
"Get ready you guys. . .er, and digimon." Matt softly called, without pulling the silver entrustment away from his mouth. Then playing a soft long note, the Mists swirled around him making him disappear.
It seemed like an eternity to the others before Matt and the Mists to show up--with Sinistermon standing in front of Matt. He seemed surprised, yet satisfied that he was with the beautiful blonde boy again. There was something so different, so right about the boy and Sinistermon wanted a taste of him.
"Why have you brought me here, Carrier of Friendship?" Sinistermon demanded, looking around the seemingly empty clearing.
Matt shrugged. "Why does anyone do anything?" He shot back calmly.
Sinistermon stared. "What is your name, I must know!" He demanded angrily.
"My friends call me Matt." He replied, taking a step back, feeling a tad bit overwhelmed with the digimon's presence.
"Matt. Matthew. Mattie." Sinistermon said, trying out the name on his tongue. Matt cringed slightly at the name "Mattie" for that was Panthamon's name for him. Oh, how he despised being called "Mattie" especially by an evil digimon. It just didn't seem right to him.
"Why, you don't like Mattie?" Sinistermon asked, noticing the boy's movement.
"No," Matt snapped, letting his cool exterior drop. "I don't. Your stupid creation had an ego about the size of the sun!"
"Oh, Panthamon?" Sinistermon replied. "Yes, he did, I admit that. . .But you...You and your stupid friend destroyed him. He was one of my best creations."
Sora grabbed Tai's arm and held him back when he realized that he was the "stupid" friend that Sinistermon was referring to.
"Hey, my friend is not stupid!" Matt snarled. "You better leave my friends out of this!"
"Or else what?" Sinistermon asked coldly. "You'll destroy me?"
Matt raised an eyebrow and his azure eyes turned icy. "Seems about the idea that I was having in my head." He answered coolly. "Because I think it's wrong to be taking over the digital world and hurting or killing other digimon. They don't deserve this! You're ruining their home!"
Sinistermon moved quickly and before Matt could even blink, the digimon was in front of the blonde boy, his eyes cold and empty as he stared into Matt's cold and angry icy blue eyes.
"This is my home, too, boy," Sinistermon snarled. "I just decided to make things different. Everything was too damn perfect around here."
Matt stared. "Too perfect?" He repeated.
"Yes, too perfect. All satisfied with how they were living--" Sinistermon said, but Matt interrupted.
"Nothing was ever too perfect! You were just jealous that you couldn't rule the digital world!" Matt cried angrily. "Jeeze! What is it with lunatics wanting power and ruling the world?" He asked, rolling his eyes.
Sinistermon snarled and took a hold of Matt's collar. Before Matt had time to react, the digimon flung Matt into the air and off to the distance. Matt landed with a loud thump, as he hit a tree and slid to the ground. He blinked his eyes dazedly and wondered what in the world just happened.
"Matt!" Mimi cried, forgetting her promise to stay quiet. She stood up, exposing herself to the evil digimon, as she stared at where Matt laid, her eyes wide.
"Mimi, no!" Tai called, exposing himself as well, by standing up and calling to her.
Sinistermon growled. He glared at the dazed blonde. "So, it was all a set up, was it?" He snapped. "Having your friends hidden with their digimon, I'll add, so they can ambush me? Well, guess what blondie, it isn't going to work!"
He turned to Mimi and smiled evilly. "You love him, don't you, girl? Crest of Serenity?" He asked her, taking a step toward her direction.
"I. . .I. . .I. . ." Mimi sputtered, blushing. She was put on the spot and she didn't like being put on the spot. . .especially when it concerned a friend whom she was in love with.
"Mimi. . .Don't." Matt gasped. "Don't answer him!" He shook his head, but was still dazed. He realized that he did not have his harmonica. . .that he had dropped it as he had hit the tree. His eyes frantically tried to locate it but to his avail it was nowhere near him.
Yet he found it, but it was near Mimi's feet. He groaned. He didn't want her to get hurt, but he needed that harmonica in order to manipulate the Mist.
"Yes," Sinistermon hissed. "Answer me."
Mimi made the mistake of looking in his eyes; she felt propelled to answer him. She blinked, and said, in a dull voice, "Yes, I do love him."
"Mimi! No!" Matt screamed, as he scrambled to his feet. He knew what Sinistermon was up too, but it was too late. Mimi had answered his question.
He ran; he ran with all his energy to where Mimi stood. He threw all his weight into her, and knocked her over, getting her out of the way of Sinistermon.
"Shit!" Tai cursed; the plan that they had was ruined. Everything wasn't going the way they planned it. It was all by ear now. He jumped into the clearing, ignoring Sora's cries and realized that Matt did not have his harmonica.
He spotted something shiny and silvery where Mimi had stood earlier. Realizing that Sinistermon was searching the ground for it -- the digimon had known that the harmonica could control the Mists, he had noticed when he first met the blonde boy-- Tai decided to get to it first.
He ran toward it and dived for it. He grabbed it and heard the digimon swear; he knew that the digimon had saw his dive and knew that Tai had the harmonica in his hands.
"Matt!" Tai yelled, pushing himself to his feet quickly, his eyes searching for his friend.
Matt looked into Mimi's eyes as he had knocked her out of the way. The two had landed into a heap a few feet away and Mimi blinked her eyes. She stared into Matt's cobalt eyes, and felt that she was being studied.
"Matt, I'm so sorry." She whispered. "I've ruined all the plans you had to get rid of Sinistermon."
Matt took her chin in his hand and gave her a smile. "Mimi, don't worry, we'll just play it by ear now!" He told her. "As long as you're safe. . .he had a plan, you see. That's why I didn't want you to answer him."
"What kind of a plan?" She asked, a bit hesitant.
"He was going to use you against me somehow. Don't ask me how, I don't know. I'd rather not know either." Matt replied. "Now, I have a question for you."
"Okay, what is it?" She said.
"Do you really love me?" He asked.
Mimi held her breath; she really did not want to tell him how she felt about him. Even if she did, somehow this wasn't really the time to tell him. They had a world to save. She looked into his eyes and let her breath slowly.
"Um . . ." She started but Tai's yell interrupted their talk.
"Matt!" Tai yelled.
Matt heard; he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "We are so going to talk later, Meems!" He told her, giving her a wink.
He stood up and yelled, "Tai, over here!" He noticed Tai holding something; he grinned knowing it was his harmonica. "Throw it to me!" He yelled, noticing that Sinistermon was getting rather close to his friend.
Tai threw it; Sinistermon attacked him too late-- the harmonica was already in the air, sailing to Matt. Matt eyed it and easily caught it with his right hand. He brought it to his lips and blew a hard note into it; a heavy Mist covered them all, separating them from each other.
