1 Candles in the wind

2 Part six – Words are not enough

Satan-myotismon smiled. He waved a hand in the air and immediately a violent storm began. The pain pelted down as lightning streaked across the sky.

"oh..How typical…a storm". Matt shouted over the rain trying to hide his fear. The thunder rumbled and the rest of the digidestined could do nothing but stare up at the roof and hope.

"You want to replace this pathetic little worm?. Have it your way". The evil digimon threw Ken to the floor. Ken breathed in the air in gulps and turned around to see that Matt faced Satan-myotismon.

"Matt….no..p..pp..please…this isn't…the way…I've been….so…evil….so…wrong….". Ken gasped in air.

"Ken. He killed my brother not you. He made you do it. I forgive you for this. I have to face him". Matt stared at the evil digimon.

"But….you have to live….for your brother…".

"Ken, I don't have that much to live for now, I'm in love, I'm fucking gay, who would want me"? Matt felt tears in his eyes.

"Tai would..". Ken replied. "I've seen you two, you love each other".

At this Matt turned around to look at Ken, in seconds he was grabbed by Satan-Myotismon by the neck and held over the edge of the roof.

"Oh my God…Matt no"! Tai screamed above the rainfall. He dropped to his knees. "I…have to do something…."

Joe grabbed Tai by the shoulders.

"You can't". He said simply. Tai turned to Joe and sobbed.

"Matt……". He wimpered into Joe's T-shirt. Joe held his friend.

**

Matt couldn't hide the fear from his face.

"I'll send you to the same place as I had your brother sent". Satan- myotismon grinned evily as Matt struggled in his grasp.

Ken turned to his digimon.

"Wormmon, there's gotta be something you can do". He looked hopefully at his friend.

"Ken, I can't….digivolve….I need your crest….you need to feel that crest inside you". Wormmon replied sadly.

"But….I don't know what my crest is…you must be able to digivolve without it. Come on Wormmon try…..I believe in you. I know I've been terrible in the past, but I don't want to be that person anymore. If it means never seeing my family again…I can't do it. Please, try , you have to, Matt's the only one who bothers with me. We gotta help him…please". Ken begged feeling tears spring to his normally cold eyes.

Wormmon was shocked as his master's show of emotion, it was starting to seem like Ken was being a friend to him not a master. The little digimon felt a glow of power from deep inside him, he closed his eyes and concentrated hard as a flash of light shone around him.

"Wormmon digivolve to…….Stingmon"! The creature shouted as he changed shape.

"You did it" Ken smiled up at his new look partner.

"You brought me into existence Ken, with the strength you had in your heart". Stingmon looked at his friend.

"Now, we have to help Matt". Ken stood up and stared over at the evil digimon. The rain hit his cheeks and he commanded his partner to attack.

"You think your little bug will defeat me"? Satan-myotismon laughed cruelly. "Hell's fire"! He yelled as he shot a ring of fire at Stingmon who expertly dodged. "Hell's fire"! The evil digimon repeated. This time, the attack was too fast for Stingmon who was hit and fell to the ground.

"Stingmon"! Ken rushed to his friend's side.

Tai had seen the fire from the ground, he had to take a stand.

"I gotta go up there. God knows what's happening to Matt". Tai stared up at the roof.

"Tai you can't, it's far too dangerous". Izzy warned.

"You think I care?, my best friend is up there and I want to help him, standing down here and watching isn't going to do him any good"! Tai shouted.

"But you dying won't do him any good either". Joe replied.

"What's makes you think I'll die?. You have to have hope". Tai glared.

"But Tai, we know people can die out here". Sora started.

"Yeah, don't you think that TK was proof of that". Kari said quietly.

"We can't just give up. We have to try, I want to help him and I will". Tai pushed past his friends and started to walk towards the large iron gates. "Augumon digivolve and bust these down". He ordered.

"No". His partner replied simply. Tai turned around and stared at his friend in shock.

"You're saying you won't help me"? Tai asked.

"I'm saying I won't see you dead". Augumon replied. "We've already lost a member of our team and I'm not prepared to lose another".

"What so you all saying we should just leave Matt up there on his own?, Gabumon's down here so he doesn't even have him. Basically you all think we should leave Matt to his own fate and watch that creature up there kill him. Great friends you all are". Tai yelled. He realised though, that everyone had stopped listening. Tai stared at them before turning around, just to see Matt's body falling towards them.
