The Evil Awaits…Part 5

Written by SoRa-cHaN

King Keisuke paced on the cold marble floor of the palace. His face was twisted in anger. His dark eyes looked up to the knights that were still alive. Keisuke's charcoal eyes burned with angry flames. It's reds and oranges ran through his eyes.

His heart grew heavy as he remembers his daughter. He loved her since she was born, and will cherish her until forever. Keisuke remembered how tiny she was when she was born, and the glimmer in her eyes.

"Can someone explain to me why we let the monster capture her!?!?!" the king's voice bellowed around the as he yelled.

King Keisuke looked at the silenced knights. Their tarnished armor no longer shined in the castle's candlelight. The light flickered as the sun began to show through the stain glass windows.

Taichi looked at the windows, and saw how their lives were like the shining colors of glass. The reds, yellows, greens, showed their beautiful world…and the sudden colors of dark was the evil… Somehow they must balance the evil and the good.

Keisuke saw Taichi dawdle off. His eyebrows burrowed between his eyes.

"Pay attention!!" Keisuke yelled.

All their heads snapped forward looking at their king. King Keisuke looked at Koushiro, the master planner. The boy seemed to shrink as all eyes focused on him. Koushiro felt all his auburn hairs stand on ends…

"Why has our plan failed?" King Keisuke asked, trying to suppress his anger.

"We didn't have all knights ready for the formation," Koushiro answered as boldly as he could.

"*sniff* Why weren't the knights ready?" Queen Atsuki inquired through her tears.

"Um…some were trapped here inside the castle as we were also ambushed by Bakemon," Koushiro answered again.

"But those are weak ghost Digimon that can easily be defeated," the duke replied.

"Yes, we know, your highness. It was just their number. We need a new strategy if there are too many of them. And we need a separate plan for the monster and his followers," explained Koushiro.

The royals looked at each other with trepidation. They were unsure of what to do…

Taichi and Sora sensed the uneasiness. It was as if everyone had a hard time breathing… Like a sudden heaviness in the air. Taichi looked at the royals who mumbled amongst themselves. Their voices hushed and quick. He gathered his courage and spoke.

"Sire, what if we were to use magic?"

The king and queen's mouths stopped moving and looked at Taichi. King Keisuke shook his head and merely chuckled lightly.

"Where do you suppose we get magic?" he asked.

Taichi took a breath, "Um, well. I met a lady who gave me this magic sword."

Taichi drew the sword from his scabbard. The spectators gasped as they saw they magnificent blade. It shined in the sun's low light. The dragon seemed to hiss in the people's hearts.

"Who…who gave that to you?" Queen Atsuki asked as she approached Taichi.

"I did…" a loud, yet gentle, voice said.

A light gust of warm, spring wind blew inside the cold castle. The scent of rain tickled their noses. The heavy feeling was uplifted and everything became bright. The sun's rays stretched over the horizon and spilled onto the land.

Taichi recognized the voice and the flowing white gown. Her golden hair shined and shimmered in the light as her eyes twinkled.

"Ame…" he murmured.

"Impossible! The legend of Ame are just fairy tales for young children!" the duke cried out.

"Or…is it…" Ame's light voice replied.

Ame walked to Taichi with light steps, as if she was walking on air. Her hair blew about giving a godly appearance. Her hand reached to Taichi's sword. A warm light glew in her hand and she picked up the magic weapon.

"You've taken good care of it…" she said.

Taichi nodded, "I suppose."

Ame held the sword's hilt gently. She swung it in the air with grace, as its blade glew like fire. In her grasp, the dragon seemed to come alive, snapping angrily at the air. The gold lizard hissed and its eyes narrowed.

"The magic is…real…" Koushiro awed.

Ame smiled to Taichi, and gave his sword back to him. He picked it up and studied it. Not until now, he thought of something. Taichi looked up to the goddess. She smiled at him brightly, as if there was nothing to worry about. But Taichi's worried face made Ame frown lightly.

"What is it?" she asked softly.

Taichi looked at the sword before placing it into its scabbard. He sighed.

"I don't understand. Why is it 'magic'…it didn't help against the monster? Worked just like a normal, steel sword."

Ame smiled again warmly. Her teeth seemed to shine as bright as the stars. She began to giggle at Taichi and pat the younger boy's head.

"What's funny?" Taichi asked.

"You've never heard the legend, have you, Prince of Kamiya?"

"Well…I don't remember it…" Taichi's chocolate eyes looked at the others.

"You forgot the legend, Taichi?" Sora asked in disbelief, "We used to listen at that story all day when we were little kids."

"I guess…I just stopped believing in it," Taichi cast down his eyes.

I thought Ame's name was familiar…it was a bedtime story that I used to listen to. How could I just forget it?

Taichi felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a gentle pair of crimson eyes looking at him. Sora smiled at him and hugged her best friend.

"Maybe you just need a brain boost," Sora giggled at his confused expression.

Taichi smiled his crooked grin and hugged Sora back, "I guess."

"Hee hee, well Ame is a magical goddess." She began

The knights huddled over to the princess. Their armor clanged as they walked over. King Keisuke sighed.

"You surly don't believe in this, do you?" he asked.

"What else do we have to believe?" Queen Atsuki answered, "We should give it a chance."

They all looked to Sora. A new hope shined boldly in their hearts. Maybe the legend would lead to something… It was their best bet, and Taichi was all ears.

"Long ago, when the Digital World was made Azulongmon, the Digiworld's god, made two apprentices. Their names were Gennai and Ame. Gennai was in charge of helping the future saviors of this world if it would ever fall in the hands of evil. And Ame was the world's light, presenting powers to the ones chosen. The chosen ones will save the world from destruction if evil ever came to hurt the balance of good and evil." Sora said,

"Ame's adventures were of a mystical warrior whose life was destined on dodging evil and finding the world's saviors. Giving them powers that no ordinary person can hold, but only to those who believe."

"…Believe…" Taichi murmured softly, "If you knew I didn't know about you anymore…why'd you choose me?"

Ame smiled, "I chose you because your heart is pure and wide. Always there for others. Your destinies were mapped since you were very young. Plus, you were a cute little kid."

They all had a hearty laugh at Ame's remark. Their laugher lightened their tense hearts and minds…but Sir Schuyler wasn't laughing.

"I don't believe you guys!!! While everyone is laughing and merry, there is someone in the forest who is all alone!!! We need to devise a plan!!!" Schuyler cried out.

His normally cheerful face was twisted with scorn. Schuyler was angry. Angry at himself, angry at Yamato, angry that he let Sensuta down. The anger bubbled and boiled in his veins. He breathed heavily, not getting enough air. He sighed exasperatedly. Schuyler ran his hands through his curly hair and mumbled nonsense-making noises.

Sir Takeru approached the older boy. His sapphire eyes looked at him with compassion. Takeru's eyes shimmered with hope as he placed his hand on Schuyler's shoulder.

"It's gonna be okay…" Takeru replied gently.

Schuyler looked at Takeru, and their eyes were locked on each other's. Takeru saw tiny tears escape his brown eyes and rolled down his cheeks. He saw Schuyler's look of despair and sadness. The same feeling sank into Takeru's heart, making him understand.

Taichi saw the two in deep depression. His eyebrows burrowed between his eyes, giving a determined look. His heart began to beat in courage and determination. He had a feeling that everything was going to work out.

"Don't worry…we'll get her back, and I'm sure of it!!!" Taichi said boldly.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I forced my eyes open. The soil ground…it's so cold… I felt the air blow by harshly. It hit me so cold like knives of ice were stabbing me. The smell was so dank, heavy, and dark.

"Where am I?" I whisper to myself.

No answer. I tried to raise my head, it ached and throbbed. Everything I saw came in twos… It's so dark…shouldn't it be day by now?

Sora? Taichi? Anyone??? No one was here…just me. I grew scared. I opened my parched lips and took in a cold sip of air.

"Blech…" I spat and gagged.

The air tasted of blood. So rich and thick of it. I was so thirsty… My eyes shifted and saw a pool of some sort… Water??? I reached for it. Closer and closer my hand went. I dipped my hand in. It was so hot! I quickly removed my hand. I cringed… The smell of burning flesh filled the air. I looked at my hand, it was burned pretty badly.

I saw the pool began to bubble. With all my strength I pushed myself as far as I could from it. The wind blew about harder making my hair go all directions. It stung my face and skin. The dress I was wearing was now in rags as the wind harshly blew.

Creek, creek! Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Lug-a-lug! Grich, grich! So many noises… I wasn't alone…

"Hello?" I asked meekly.

An evil cackle boomed from all around me. I forced myself up and curled into a ball. I shook and shivered with fear.

"Well…looks like you're awake, Sensuta," A dark figure loomed over me.

He cackled again and stepped forward closer me. I could feel his darkness. He bent over just inches from my face. I saw his ice-cold blue eyes. They stared at me with…I wasn't sure if it was anger that I was here or pleasure that I was hurt. I felt his breath on my face. He smiled.

"Yamato…" I growled.

Yamato grinned with a demonic face and kissed me. I wasn't sure if you called it a kiss, since it was so full of hate. I raised my hand, not thinking that it was the burned one. I frowned in anger and belted him in the stomach. He fell back away from me and I tried to stand. I felt my knees shake before I stumbled and fell again.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" he laughed in a heavy tone.

"Stupid idiot…" I mumbled in disgust.

I gripped my hand; feeling dribbles of blood slide down my arm. It stung as I made a fist. I heard the blood 'squish' through my fingers. The pain only made Yamato laugh harder. His laughter soon got annoying, as if it was an insect buzzing around my ear. I scowled.

"You don't ever shut your mouth, do you?" I growled.

Yamato stopped and looked at me as if I was a tiny bug that had to be squish immediately. He cocked up one of his eyebrows and walked circles around me. I felt like a dead animal waiting for scavengers to eat my bone and flesh.

"Pretty bold words for a princess…" he spat, "But spunk isn't getting you anywhere. You can barely stand, and you expect to get away alive. Ha! I laugh at your incompetence."

"At least I'm not as stupid as you are. Willing to work for evil. Haven't you heard that good always conquers evil," I challenged.

Yamato's deadly cold eyes narrowed and glared at me.

"You calling me stupid," Yamato rolled his eyes, "You are so insubordinate to evil. Why don't you take a chance in the evil life, huh?"

"'Cause it's evil, duh…" I replied like a 'true rebellious teenager' as my mother would say.

"Goodies-goodies are little sissies, you know that!? People thinking that always good wins."

"I'm not a goodie-goodie, or I wouldn't have done this!" I cried out in rage.

I sprung on my legs as if they were springs. It felt as if I had an extra boost of strength right now. I glared at him and pulled out my sword. I even grinned lightly as I saw him dead in front of me. I call out a battle cry as loud as I could. I felt the sword weigh down my burned hand, but I no longer care.

"DIE!!!!!!!!" I yelled as I thrust my sword into his stomach.

I heard the 'shing' and 'crunch' as it went through his flesh and bone. I saw it go straight though him. I panted lightly as I roughly pulled out the long weapon. Blood oozed and dripped from it. It wreaked an unbearable stench. Once again that taste of blood returned in the air.

My eyes wandered up at his face. He smiled as he coughed and gagged blood. His blood dripped from his mouth and onto my hand. I cringed as I wiped the blood on my dress. The liquid was black instead of its normal copper color.

I felt it…so cold all around me. My eyes went wide when I saw it and I gasped lightly… A dark fog from all around us spread wider. Yamato cackled as it all directly went into him. The fog went into him, repairing his injury while changing him. He grew even taller, and muscular. A tail came from behind him, and hissed everywhere. You could hear his clothes crack and rip as he grew.

"Welcome…" he growled in a deep voice, "Welcome to H***…" (A/N: You guyz know da word…it's da place for down there where it's all evil…sorry, me dun say bad words…)

I couldn't be there…I couldn't…could I??? How will I escape now? Will I…die? NO! I shook my head. I mustn't lose hope…

And hope was the only thing that sustained me while I was here…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Prince Taichi looked out his bedroom window. The breeze softly blew as the sun was coming up higher in the sky. Everyone had stayed up all night into battle, and all early morning planning the next attack.

Taichi went over and over the attack in his head. It was really quite simple. All knights, squires, and pages 12 and over will battle. They will form a line of 50 outside the castle on the field. Then the next line of 50 warriors behind them, and the next, and the next. When they hear a horn sounding, it means that they are under attack. They will all charge and attack the monster ridding of evil.

But in the meantime, he needed to sleep. Taichi yawned and stretched his arms in the air. He walked along the soft wood of the floor to his cushion bed. He lie there and spread the warm blanket around him. Taichi felt the soft fabric against his skin. He was tired as he let himself drift to sleep.

He had a dream… The dream told of something, something he didn't understand. Taichi was confused as it wore on…

I see myself standing outside the castle in formation. I am the center of the first row. I keep my chin up and hold my sword tight. I felt my heartbeat like fire ants biting its prey.

King Keisuke sat on his horse in front of me. The horse neighed and kicked. The grass whipped in the wind as a harsh gust blew by. A gust of dirt kicked from the ground and wound itself around the warriors.

The smell of blood arises in the air again as we start to slowly march. I look to my side where Sora stood next to me. I saw her face full of fear. With my other hand, I reached for hers and held it. Her crimson eyes looked into mine.

"We'll get her back…" I told her.

She nodded and lightly smiled. She turned her head forward as we headed on to another battle. Another fight, another massacre, another day of life.

As we got closer, the reeking smell filled our noses. I looked to Daisuke as he plugged his nose and made a funny face. I turned, head on looking at the horizon. The sun was almost all gone.

"Wait!" I heard a voice call out.

I immediately spun around at the urgency of the voice. Ame was running towards us. Her gown flowed like ripples on water. I saw perspiration glisten on her face. The tall grass swished as she approached us.

"Call upon the powers of good before it's too late!!!" she said.

My eyes grew wide with fear as a dark mist surrounded her. It covered her and muffled her scream. My heartbeat in fear. I was scared as my knees lightly shook. The darkness freed her. Ame's limp body fell to the ground. She didn't move…

"No!" I cried out.

She couldn't be dead…no! She was a goddess! I closed my eyes and remembered a part of the legend. "If one of the two die…the world as we know it will come to an end and will be tosses over to evil." I swallowed hard.

The monster was now visible. I blinked. It seemed so big…much larger than last time. Its shadow covered us all. All the warriors were covered in darkness. The monster loomed high above us. It covered the moon's light, making the world dark.

I held up my sword ready. I saw the sharp blade. I wanted to kill it…stop all of this hate, and make it peace. I had to. I must. I wasn't letting the world down, not now, not ever!!!

The monster's red eyes glew hot red. It shined as the only light for miles and miles around.

"Fire the mangonles and trebuchets!!!" King Keisuke instructed.

Knights cut ropes as large boulders flew in the air. They hit the monster…but not a single scratch.

I watched King Keisuke draw his sword from its scabbard. The blade shined in the ghastly red light.

The monster took a step. The ground shook. I breathed heavily. My heartbeat as fast as the sun's light could reach my eyes in the morning. The monster's eyes narrowed. Its red eyes glew even brighter. ZOOM! A long beam of red power hit the back of the formation! The screams of people filled the air. I smelt burning flesh. I heard the agony of the other soldiers. I looked at the monster in disbelief, not wanting to believe what happened.

"NOOOO!!!!" I yelled as loud as I could in pure rage, "By the powers of the DigiWorld, we shall vanquish you!!!!"

An orange light glew on my chest along with my sword. Eight points of light glew from people. I saw it as I turned… What was going on? The eight lights doubled to 16 then an added light of 17. Seventeen light temples. Light temples? How did I know what they were called.

"Taichi…I feel the power," Sora murmured…

My chocolate eyes looked to her as a red light shined from her. I had a feeling. I removed the other sword on my belt… I studied the angel sword one last time before I handed it to her.

"It's yours…" I said.

Sora's hands reached out to it. As she touched it a bright light glew and spread…

"NO!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!! HELP US!!!!!!" Taichi awoke at the sounds of screams, wails, and cries.

He bolted up from his bed in cold sweat. His dream…he didn't understand. Light temples? The angel sword…

But something else caught his attention. The smell of burning flesh hung darkly in the air. The cries of innocent people could be heard from every inch of the kingdom. Taichi got up and looked out his window. A whole village burst into flames!

Mangonles and trebuchets hurled large rocks into the air. Taichi breathed in shallow breaths…this was the worse battle ever.

"Oh…oh my gosh…" Taichi murmured at the horrific site.

His chestnut hair whipped his face as a cold shot of air hit the land. Normally the air was clear and clean…but now it was dark and full of blood. Taichi cringed as he wiped the red liquid from his face.

Taichi watched in horror as the dark mist took over the bodies of innocent knights. They fought amongst themselves, not knowing who was the enemy. Tears flowed down his cheeks as he watched men hack off fellow knight's heads. He watched them slay each other…it was all death for no reason.

The night sky was so dark…it was filled with clouds, there were no stars, the moon hang like a black ball in the air.

"Prince Taichi!" a familiar voice called.

The door was kicked down as a dust cloud blew upwards. Through the dust emerged Sir Daisuke. We wore the same armor from the night before. Daisuke carried a bow, a quiver of arrows, and a mighty lance. In his other hand, he carried the main part of armor, the chest plate.

"Here," Daisuke said in a hurry, "This is the only piece of armor left! The formation didn't work because the monster ambushed us, taking other creatures with it!"

Taichi nodded, and hastily put on the armor. He took the quiver of arrows and bow and put it on his back. Taichi grabbed the lance and got his sword. Taichi quickly tested the sword's weight.

"Hurry!!! Some knights also took Sora!" Daisuke cried.

Taichi's heart ached as he heard those words. He looked to Daisuke.

"Let's go!" Taichi ordered.

The two ran down the corridor. Their feet slapped against the cold stony pavement.

Many men charged at them from all directions. Taichi's eyes widened as they all held their swords ready to kill him. He narrowed his eyes, scowling at all of them. Taichi held his sword up right. The sword began to glow the orange light. He suddenly felt the courage within him to fight…

"This…is…war…" Taichi cried out in pure rage.

A bunch of men charged at him…

"…No one messes with the girl I love…"

Taichi saw all their swords. The shined with red, fresh blood…

"AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!"

Taichi gripped his sword's hilt. A few seconds went by, though it felt like hours. Taichi felt his heartbeat nervously as he watched one of the knight's raise their sword, it's blade waiting to take his life.

Taichi gripped harder onto his sword. With a mighty swing he chopped off a young knight's right arm, meaning it's his swords arm. It dropped to the floor as blood oozed out.

Taichi went on forward, slashing and killing the knights that pour out like ants. More and more coppery liquid gushed out and splashed him with every cut. He grimaced as he heard bones crunch and snap.

The rage within him gave him a special strength along with his courage. He no longer fought like a man, but more like a demon with a good heart. He believed in his power, and the power returned to him with every swipe of his sword.

It had seemed to the knights that Prince Taichi was on fire. A fire of passion to find Sora. His determination to get Sora back flowed within him. He had a certain drive in him, and it wouldn't stop until the enemy was dead and Sora was back safely.

As he and Daisuke ran out of the castle's keep. They found themselves in a corridor before the portcullis. They dodged hot oils that were dumped down from the murder holes of the castle.

Taichi went on, killing and injuring who came after him. Another swipe with his sword, another man dead. On and on. They reached the outside of the castle walls where people ran about in panic.

Daisuke looked around in horror as he saw the blood stained soil beneath his feet.

Taichi's chocolate eyes surveyed the area as he went on looking for Sora. There! A young boy had her. Taichi ran as fast as he could.

"Hold it right there!!!" Taichi yelled as he tried to thrust his sword into the boy's heart.

The little boy immediately dropped the rope that bound the princess. He ducked the sword and stayed on the floor kneeling in front of the prince. The orange light surround the boy and he was free of the darkness.

"Please…" he pleaded, "I didn't mean to…spare me, sir! I didn't know what came over me…"

Taichi looked angrily at the boy. He panted as he held his sword down.

"Please…I'm all that my mother has… My father and grandfather were killed… Please, sir."

The young boy softened Taichi's heart. Taichi looked at the boy's emerald green eyes. They were calm and gentle, and so pure of light. The boy's brown hair was in a mess as a trickle of blood flowed down his cheek.

"I'm sorry…tell me of whatever you want, and I'll give it to you," the young boy said.

Taichi weakly smiled to the boy as he spoke.

"There's nothing that I want from you. You're have a pure heart, you aren't evil," Taichi replied smiling.

The boy looked up with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Thank you, sir!" he said.

"You are welcome," Taichi answered.

He turned about to walk away as the young boy stopped him.

"Wait, sir!"

Taichi turned and looked at the still kneeling boy. His clothes were in rags and covered in blood. Taichi could tell he had been fighting a lot… The boy stood and slightly bowed to him.

"If the war ever does stop," he began, "Please visit me in Kamiya. My mother would be glad to meet the person who spared the life of her son."

"K…Kamiya?" Taichi asked, "What's your name? How'd you get here???"

"My name is Iori Hida…haven't you heard? King Yoru sent all pages, squires, and knights of all ages to Takenouchi to take it over. I have probably said too much to you. What is your name? I'd like to know the name of a true hero…"

"I am Prince Taichi of Kamiya…"

"If you are the prince, why didn't you know about the knights coming?"

"My father…he used us, the strongest knights, to leave because he knew we would stop him from ambushing the Takenouchi!" Taichi said in anger, "How could he…"

"Whatever is going on, you must keep on fighting, and chose a side, before the Takenouchi, or even the Kamiya kill you…"

"Taichi!!!!!" A sudden scream yelled.

Taichi quickly turned and saw a man taking Sora away. The man was tall, and heavily built.

"C'mon!" Daisuke said.

"All right, you can come along too, Iori, if you wish," Taichi answered as he looked onto the boy.

"It would be a great honor to fight alongside the prince!" Iori smiled lightly and took his sword.

The three chased after the man. Along the way, more knights attacked them. They swiped at the knights killing and hurting more of them. Blood sprayed in all directions, as it's stench stung their noses.

Taichi, Daisuke, and Iori followed the knight back to the keep's roof. The wind hurled by, making a swooshing sound against their ears. Their hair whipped at them in all ways.

The large man wore a suit of black armor, which was splattered with dripping blood. The black armor shined brightly in the night's minimal light.

Taichi's eyes went directly to Sora who shook in fear behind the evil knight. He saw the fear in her crimson eyes as a collection of cuts and gashes tattooed her skin. Anger boiled in Taichi's veins. No one hurts his girl like that…not ever.

He charged at the black armored man. Taichi's chocolate eyes glew in bright red anger. His sword's blade shined radiantly as he swooped at the knight. The knight dodged the attack and dashed to the side. Taichi scowled and charged at him again.

"DIE!!!!" Taichi yelled in fury.

The two combated in a waltz on the keep's roof. The sound of swords clanging against each other ran through out the land. Sweat dripped along their cheeks as they kept on dueling.

Something caught Taichi's eye as he and the knight passed Sora. Sora's eyes glowed demonicly a bright blood red. Fangs grew from her mouth as a dark mist surrounded her.

"NOOO!!!" Taichi called out.

He ducked the knight and made his way to Sora. Sora scowled evilly and stood. With her bare hands, she ripped the rope to shreds. The black knight laughed.

"See my new apprentice…who knew it would be her," He laughed menacingly.

Taichi glared at his adversary. He looked at him with anger as he laughed.

"Oh, Taichi!" Taichi looked at Sora as she 'giggled.'

Sora sneered at him. Her eyes were cold, and red. She licked her lips, like a bloodthirsty killer. She held her hands in front of her as they grew claws.

"Ready or not…" she began, "Here I come!!!"

Sora charged at Taichi like an animal. Her hair whipped around in the bellowing wind. Taichi dodged her attack and grabbed his sword. He was scared…he wasn't sure if he could do it.

"Scared?" Sora asked mockingly.

Taichi glared at her back, "No…" he lied.

"Good." She lashed out her hand.

The razor claws cut Taichi's cheek. Four gashes on his face dripped with blood. Sora grinned contently.

"Sora…please don't make me do this…" Taichi pleaded as he dodged another pounce.

It hurt Taichi to see them fighting like animals.

"Do what!?" Sora snapped.

Taichi grabbed his sword. Its blade shined in the minimal light. It just made Sora grin even wider. She charged at him and lashed out at him. Taichi used his sword to intercept her attack. The sound of metal against claws made them wince. They stood there locked between blade and claws.

"You can fight it," Taichi told Sora, "I believe in you."

"No you don't! I hate you!" Sora cried out as she slashed him again, but this time on the arm.

Taichi dropped his sword, and clutched his bleeding arm.

"Prince Taichi!" Iori cried out in fear.

He looked to the young boy and weakly smiled. Taichi looked again to Sora who was panting for air. She still looked fiercely at him. Taichi just smiled at her.

"Why are you so happy?" she retorted with a frown.

"You don't mean what you say. That's the evil talking," Taichi replied.

He slowly made a step towards her.

"Get away!!!" Sora yelled as she scratched his face again.

Taichi didn't care. The gashes didn't faze him. Taichi felt the blood flow down his cheek and onto his armor. He simply wiped it from his face.

Sora looked at him in disbelief. Her eyes slowly began to soften back to its normal look. She fangs began to shrink from her mouth.

Taichi walked to Sora and held her hand. The bright orange light spread from Taichi's sword to himself to Sora. The evil cried in pain within Sora and it disappeared. A soft redish light began to glow in Sora's heart.

Daisuke and Iori watched in amazement as sparkles glew all around them. The whole town stopped for a moment to spectate.

"I feel so free…" Sora awed.

The second sword from Taichi's belt rose in the air and into Sora's palm. A white light spread through out the kingdom. Taichi heard the black knight cry out in suffering.

"What's…what's going on!?" Daisuke called out.

Taichi and Sora looked at him from their place in the air. An orange and blue light glew from Daisuke, as a gray and purple light glew from Iori.

"Amazing…" Iori gasped.

Sixteen light points were seen from around the kingdom. Townspeople gawked at the light points.

"Light temples…" Taichi murmured softly.

"NO!!!!!" the black knight cried, "Why is this happening to me!?"

Sora gasped as a blue light shined from him.

"W…who are you?" Iori asked.

The man removed his helmet. Golden hair fell as ice-blue eyes glared at them all.

"I am Yamato, who else you idiot."

The white light lead Taichi and Sora down from the sky. A beam of another light outstretched from the Light Temples. The swords shined from Taichi and Sora. A spiked mace was shown to Iori. And a lance was given to Daisuke.

"These are your weapons…" Ame replied as she magically appeared to them from the edge of the roof, "Use them to fight the evils of the world…but first you must find all the Light Temples before it is too late."

They all nodded.

"Breathe your last, Ame!!!" Yamato yelled in his wrath.

His sword with a dark blade rose in the air. With a physically powerful thrust, the sword plunged into Ame's heart. Her eyes went dark as she fell off the roof.

"Ame!!!" They all cried out in terror.

Taichi closed his eyes. He remembered the evil take her away in hid dream… It was so vivid in his head. What was going on!? Could his dream possibly foretell the future?

They all looked out where the monster stood. It was much larger and stronger. Its eyes glew in the blood red color.

"NO!!! It can't be!!! STOP!!!" Taichi cried out.

The monster's laser eyes beamed down to the down. The ground shook with a mighty force. People screamed for help as they were being burned and trampled. Houses and buildings burst into flames.

From the corner of Daisuke's eye, he saw a Kamiyan knight inside the castle tower through an arrow loop. Daisuke noticed the coat of arms…it was Sir Fujiyama! He drew the bow's rope and pulled the arrow back. His arm was tight as his muscles were strained.

"Get down!" Daisuke hollered out.

The arrow was aimed for Sora and Taichi! It left the bow and hurled in the air towards them. It whistled about, ready to execute someone. Taichi's eyes grew wide as it neared them. He grabbed Sora as they ducked and rolled about the floor.

As it happened, the Kamiyan army fleet charged at the from all directions. Their hearts pumped in fear…they were scared… When they thought the monster was enough, they had more troubles on their hands and the weight of the world on their shoulders…
