Chapter Nine
I don't own it, I just write for fun.
"Let's move out guys." Tai's voice echoed through the empty house. Everyone was outside and ready to go.
"It's due north." Izzy said pointing in the direction.
"Ok, then we go that way." Tai commanded as he led the way. The journey was going to be a long one. And no one knew exactly what to expect. "And keep an eye out for trouble!" He warned.
That day's journey was uneventful. No signs of this new dark power or of Deamon. Izzy was busily computing distances. Kari, Mimi and the rest were chattering non-stop while every so often the occasional 'Can we stop and eat?' chimed out from the digimon.
"Not till it gets closer to sun down." Tai would always say.
Finally it was nearing sun down, and everyone was tired from the long walk.
"Ok. Let's make camp over there." Tai declared. At the same time everyone gave off a sigh of relief. Tai and Matt went off in search of firewood, while everyone else dropped to the ground, and rested. The view was an ordinary one. Flat grass with the occasional tree, and a stream not to far off.
Sora had kept to herself most of the day, not wanting to join in any conversation. She was in deep thought. Her mind was going through all of the new feelings she was experiencing. All the new information she suddenly knew, the feelings were very strange to her. But one question always rang in her head. 'Why her?' She dropped her backpack a good distance from the others and decided to walk down to the stream. Biyomon followed. Sora began to pick up stones and skip them across the water's surface.
"Sora, what's wrong?" The little pink digimon looked up at her.
"I wish I knew." She replied as she sat down and hugged her digimon. "I feel like I'm changing."
"You don't look different to me."
"No, not on the outside, on the inside, silly."
"Oh, well you'll always be the same Sora to me."
"Thanks Byiomon, you're a real pal." She smiled.
By the time Sora walked back to camp, the fire was already ablaze and people were munching on food.
"Come on Sora, join us. There're really good." Davis said as he stuffed a whole sandwich into his large mouth.
"No thanks, I'm not hungry."
"How can you not be hungry? All you ate today were those pancakes this morning." Matt questioned.
"I'm not in the mood to eat. I just want to sleep."
"Well goodnight then." Kari smiled.
Sora turned and found where she had set her pack. She softened up the ground and sat down.
She sighed as she lay on her side, using her arms as a pillow. Soon she drifted off into sleep.
"Tai, is Sora going to be ok?" Kari asked as she hugged her brother's arm. "She hasn't been herself today."
"Ya, what did you guys say to her this morning to get her so upset?" Mimi demanded to know.
"Just leave her alone, ok? She's going through a lot right now." Tai said standing up. "I don't have any answers either and I'm just as concerned." he sighed. "Look, why don't we just get some sleep? I'll stay up and keep watch." The others nodded and drifted off into sleep.
It wasn't long till Tai accidentally fell asleep himself.
Some time later Sora woke up in a cold sweat. "Oh gosh. It was only a dream." She said as she tried to stop her heart from racing.
"Sora, are you up?" Biyomon asked sleepily.
"Ya, I had a nightmare. I'm going down to the stream to wash my face."
"I'll come too." The little bird jumped up and followed her friend to the waters edge. Sora splashed her face with the cold water.
"Ah. That feels much better." Just then the crystal she wore around her neck began to glow.
"Sora why is that glowing?" Sora held the stone.
"Something's coming, it's Deamon, I can feel it. Quick Biyomon warp digivolve."
"Warp digivolve? But I've never done that before."
"Just do it!" Sora commanded.
"Biyomon warp digivolved to…" a bright light encompassed the sky, the gem was getting brighter. "Phoenixmon!" The huge firebird leapt into the sky.
"Quick, he's over there." Sora yelled and pointed.
"I see nothing." Her digimon replied.
"Trust me, he's there."
"Apocalypse Fire" A huge fireball raged in the appointed direction and sure enough Daemon was there. Once hit, he became visible. His evil laugh echoed in the night sky, and woke the rest of the group up. They quickly ran in the direction of the bright light.
"It's Deamon!" Tai yelled.
Before any of the other digimon could digivolve, Deamon shot a huge fireball their way.
"NO!" Sora screamed, just then her crystal's light grew stronger and suddenly a shield surrounded the children. Daemon's attack didn't have any effect.
"What is this?" Deamon said as he looked at Sora and her gem. "YOU? That GEM! Give it to me!"
"Never!" Sora screamed as she clutched it tightly in her hand.
Deamon floated towards her. Phoenixmon let out another ultimate attack and at the same time Sora shot out a high tense beam of light that hit Deamon. He screeched out in extreme pain and suddenly disappeared.
Sora dropped to the ground as the gems light dulled and Phoenixmon returned to Byiomon. Tai ran to her side. She was panting and sweating as if she had just completed a strenuous task.
"Sora?" Tai shook her.
"I'm.." "fine." she continued to pant; Tai could feel her heart racing. "I'm just so tired, that's all."
The others gathered around them in utter disbelief of what they had just witnessed.
"Holy crap!" Davis said. "What was that?"
"Tai, were these those powers Gennai was talking about?" Izzy questioned finally understanding what Tai was talking about before. Sora's heart was slowly returning to normal, and she was breathing easier now.
"Tired.." Sora said. "I'm tired and cold." She was in Tai's arms now and she felt safe.
"Just go back to sleep Sora." Tai told her, "Everything is going to be all right." She closed her eyes.
"Let's get back to the fire." Joe said. "She said she was cold." Tai picked her up and started walking back near the fire. 'What had just happened?' He thought to himself.
"Ok, what just happened to her? I want to know what's wrong with my friend." Mimi began to cry.
"Quiet." Tai snapped. "She needs her sleep." He laid her down and put his jacket over her.
"I think it would be best if you explained everything Tai." Matt suggested. Once again Tai explained the story of her newly acquired powers.
"This is all my fault, if I wouldn't have brought her here, if I would have been stronger to protect her, she would." Tai looked down at the sleeping young woman.
"Tai will you quit kicking yourself!" Matt said. "You can't do everything. Or be everywhere. Just let go! Gennai said she was meant to be this way, so trust her."
"So what do we do now?" Kari questioned. "What is she changing into?" There was silence. No one knew what to do. All eyes were fixed on Sora peacefully asleep.
"We'll have to wait, I guess." Tai said unsure of the answer. "Why don't we just go back to sleep. We'll figure this out in the morning." The children were still shocked at what had happened, but somehow managed to return to sleep.
