Trials
Chapter Four
D: You know the drill :)
A/N: Hello kiddies- Sorry to keep you all waiting- But I have run into some problems finding free time today and probably for the rest of the week. Sorry- I'll try and squeeze in some typing time before I go to bed- hopefully. That way you can continue reading…. I hope you are enjoying this so far- I always like writing these things- it is so relaxing. Anyway- I'll shut up-
Thought of the day: If I were invisible, my shadow would die :)
(I don't know where that came from…. I apologize)
"Well good luck children." Gennai said. "But you are once again o your own. I have no doubts that you will succeed- you always do." Gennai glanced at Sora. "Don't worry the catalyst will protect you and when the time comes you will understand what you need to do." Sora gave a faint smile. And with that Gennai vanished. Sora sighed and then looked at her friends
"Cheer up guys." She said in her usual cheerful and sweet voice. "We better get moving." She motioned for everyone to follow her as she began down the stairs and back into the main room. The group followed in silence. No one knew what to say. Although Sora was ok, she seemed very distant.
When they returned to the main hall, the place seemed much brighter.
"Um… Where's the door?" Davis questioned.
"There is none." Sora simply replied.
"No door?" Joe panicked. "We're stuck here?"
"No, there is no need for a door." Sora explained calmly.
"Then how precisely do we exit the vicinity?" Izzy inquired.
"Simple." Sora smiled. She closed her eyes and suddenly took to the air. Everyone was shocked to see her once again floating. Sora raised her arms and instantly the group was transported topside.
"Wow!" TK said. They were all back in the forest area now. Sora returned her feet to the ground.
"Prodigious!" Izzy remarked.
"So… Sora, what exactly do we do now?" Kari asked.
"Well first we need to meet Shin-Sue at her base to the North." Sora started.
"Are you going to transport us there too?" Cody asked.
Sora shook her head. "I could do that. But I wouldn't be ready to battle yet… I … I don't think I am strong enough yet or have enough knowledge of the power the catalyst has… So I guess while we walk I can take some time a figure things out."
"Ok, what ever you want to do." Tai said as he nervously set his hand on her shoulder. Sora smiled warmly at him.
"Well we better get going then." Mimi said and with that they began walking.
They had gone quite a ways with very little talking. Tai walked at Sora's side, leading the group. He grabbed her hand suddenly.
"You know you don't have to go through this alone." He said quietly.
"I know," she said as she took a step closer to him, "I just don't want to see anyone hurt.."
"And I don't want to see you hurt. I love you Sora."
"And I love you, but Tai.."
"Sorry to interrupt," Ken spoke up, "but I just can't help but wonder what we are going to during the up coming battle?"
Sora was a little relieved the conversation with Tai had changed subject. She loved Tai deeply, but now she had a job to do…
"I need you and the digimon to distract Shin- Sue's digimon.. But I want everyone out of the crossfire, except for Kari and TK… I don't know exactly what we need to do yet, but I'm going to need for you all trust the catalyst and me."
"Sora- we all trust you." TK said cheerfully.
"Thanks TK"
"So let's all cheer up then." Kari requested. "Think of this as a nature hike."
The group's demeanor lightened a bit. They continued to walk until the sun was preparing to set; they finally decided to take a break.
"Darn." Joe said as he went through his backpack. "I didn't remember matches."
"No worries." Sora said. She closed we eyes once again, pointed at the wood and suddenly fire started in the pit.
"That's so cool." Davis awed. "What else can you do?"
"I'm not sure… I haven't really tried anything yet."
"Well go nuts!" Davis continued. He wanted to see these powers.
"I don't want to.. I'm tired… I think I'm just going to go to sleep." With that Sora walked a little ways away from the group and knelt down. She began to meditate.
The others ate their rationed amount of food, and decided to call it a night. Tai was the last of the group up. He didn't feel like sleeping, even though he was exhausted. He watched as the fire burnt out and the sky was almost completely black. The sky was clouded over by darkness, and no stars were visible.
Suddenly he noticed movement. His attention went straight for the figure approaching him.
"Taichi?" a soft voice called out. Tai instantly recognized the voice and he relaxed.
"Sora, is that you?" He stood up and walked over to his angel. Her natural glow was intensified by her new state. As Tai got closer her could see tears in her illuminated crimson eyes.
"what's wrong?" But before he could say anything more, Sora ran to him and drew close.
Tai immediately wrapped his arms around the girl of his dreams.
"Oh Taichi.. They are horrible.." She whispered in to his chest.
"What's horrible?"
"These visions.. They are like nightmares. Can… can.. I sleep by you tonight?" She meekly asked.
Without answering her question, Tai kissed her forehead and brought he over to his sleeping bag. He unzipped it and opened it. He and Sora laid down and Tai used another sleeping bag to cover them.
To Tai's amazement Sora curled up close to him. He felt her nuzzle his neck.
"I'm sorry Tai. For being so distant. I do love you but.. The feeling inside me wants so badly to get rid of this evil. It's so strong sometimes, that it kind of takes over…"
"It's ok Sor. I understand."
"Thank you for being here for me."
"Sh.. You need some rest." Tai said as he gently kissed her and pulled her closer to him. She looked up into his strong and livening chocolate eyes. 'What would I do without her- God I love her so much.' Tai thought.
"Tai… I don't know what I'd do without you either."
'What?' Tai asked himself. He knew he didn't just say anything out loud, but… how could she know what he was thinking?
Sora smiled. "I can read minds Tai.." She blushed. Tai looked just a little embarrassed. "it's ok- I won't read yours if it makes you uncomfortable."
Tai gave a devilish smile. "So what am I thinking right now?"
Sora's eyes went wide with shock at Tai's thought. She blushed a deep hue of red and gave a cute little smile.
"I wouldn't have it any other way Tai." And with that Tai once again claimed her lips. Tai wanted Sora so bad, but considering where they were, his dreams would have to wait for another night.
They laid there in the tender embrace until they both drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Sora woke to Tai's kisses being placed all over her neck. She slowly opened her eyes and sleepily snuggled against Tai's shirt. She could feel his strong arms wrapped around her tightly, protecting her from everything. She smiled softly.
"I could get use to waking up this way." Tai said as he loosened his grip around her slender frame. She smiled as she looked up at his contented face. She kissed her way up his neck to his lips. Tai closed his eyes and returned the kisses. His hands began to run up and down her sides. The silken material seemed like a second skin as it tightly held to her form. Two slits ran the sides of her dress, from her ankles to her mid-thigh area. Tai now began "exploring" her smooth legs.
"Tai, they are waking up." Sora breathed heavily. She didn't want this closeness to end. But it soon did as Kari and the other woke from their night's slumber.
But before everyone could peacefully awaken the ground began to shake violently.
"It's Shin-Sue." Someone cried. Everyone screamed as devimon shot a wave of dark energy at them.
With in seconds after the blast the digimon were ready to fight. WGM, MGM and Phoenixmon finished digivolving and were charging into the battle, as the other digimon digivolved.
Shin Sue let out a powerful fireball at the group- as they screamed in horror at the on coming projectile Sora created a kind of shield around them.
"NO!" Sora screamed, as the fire was deflected. The group sighed as they found themselves safe.
"So you have the catalyst?" Shin Sue smirked. "To bad you are still weal from the merge." Sora grew mad. Something inside her seemed to be growing. Sora flew up into the sky so she was facing Shin Sue. "You are the one the catalyst chose to merge with?" Shin Sue laughed. "I see now, you have the purest soul here… but that won't save you." And with that she began her assault against Sora.
The digi destined were helpless- they could only watch as Shin Sue, Sora and their digimon fought. Sora somehow was able to fight back. She called up powers that seemed mystical like Shin Sue had. The two girls threw round after round of energy shots at each other. Shin Sue seemed to control dark energy, while Sora's was bright white.
The group was totally stunned at the new abilities that had been acquired by Sora.
"You know your weakness?" Shin Sue said. "Besides the fact you are not fully merged yet, the weak human in you cares about them. The catalyst wants only to defeat me." She laughed. "You can't protect them, yourself and still stand a chance against me.. And I'm willing to bet that the catalyst is prepared to sacrifice their lives to defeat me. So what's it going to be?"
Sora knew this was true. She was tiring out, shielding herself, her friends and fighting. But she couldn't let the catalyst put her friends in danger….
"well I can't do all three things, but I can at least keep my friends safe." With that Sora dropped her own shield and went flying towards Shin Sue. Sora laid into her with a powerful attack that sent Shin Sue flying backwards.
"That was a lucky hit, but now it's my turn." Shin Sue sent a large shock aimed at Sora.
Around Sora a whirl of wind spun. Sora was summoning a great amount of energy. The winds and energy created a temporary shield that blocked the majority of Shin Sue's attack. Sparks of light opened a hole in the sky. A bright light shone through and onto Sora.
"You'll kill yourself if you try that attack now. You're weak." Shin Sue smirked. Sora didn't listen and continued to concentrate.
"Sora." Tai shouted out. He ran up to the shield wall, but could not get out of it. He felt her spirit in the wall as he placed his hand to it.
Soon Sora screamed out as she released the gigantic wave of cosmos energy at Shin Sue.
This time Shin Sue was sent flying to the ground. Devimon and AGM reacted instantly to their master's cry for help. Devimon went straight for Sora, who was recovering from the strenuous blow.
She wasn't fast enough to evade devimon's long arms. She was caught. Devimon held her, both of her arms were pinned inside his grip. Sora tried in vain to break free.
The digi destined looked on in horror was their friend cried in pain and the shield that protected them soon began to flicker.
Devimon threw Sora to the ground and the shield dissipated as she impacted the ground. Tai ran straight for Sora.
Shin Sue began to laugh from where she still was- sprawled out on the ground.
"So much for the great catalyst." She said as she got to her feet and looked at the unprotected digi destined. "now to take care of hope and light."
Tai steadied Sora as she stood up. Amazingly for all the energy and attacks Shin Sue had hit her with, Sora was not even bleeding.
"Tai, get TK and Kari out of here!" She commanded him. "Please Tai- do this for me. They need to be safe." Tai reluctantly complied with her wishes- even though he didn't want to.
He quickly pulled TK and Kari into the forest area. They were being followed closely by devimon and shin sue.
"Ah, another hero?" She smiled. "You'll never escape me…" Shin sue then began to laugh… "You love the one who merged with the catalyst.. don't you boy?" She called out to Tai. He had TK and Kari hidden for the moment.
"To bad that the catalyst will destroy her if she ever tries to defeat me."
'No.' Tai thought. "But, I thought… she's just messing with my head.'
"So you think I lie?" Shin sue asked. She was getting closer, Tai could feel it. The digimon were now fighting as hard as they could to try and stop Shin Sue from getting to Kari and TK.
Suddenly a burst of light caught Shin Sue and devimon off guard. Sora was up and floating closer to where shin sue was.
"I will not allow you to harm them.. You will not prevail.. There is still good in you- I feel it." Sora said.
"You're wrong!" Shin Sue denied. "I am pure evil and darkness. So you maybe able to search my mind, but I too can do the same." Shin Sue unexpectedly picked up the digi destined, all except for Tai, TK, Kari and Sora, in a shield like bubble.
"Kari, TK stay here- what ever happens do not leave this spot!" Tai commanded and then got up from their hiding place.
Sora and Shin Sue were staring down each other. The world's biggest catfight was on and the fate of the dig world and probably the real world laid in the balance.
"Shin Sue set down on the ground in a clearing, she still held the children hostage. Sora followed her tot eh ground.
"So catalyst I offer you the chance, join me or perish with your friends."
Sora was frozen. She didn't know what to do. The catalyst inside wanted to fight, but what about her friends. Suddenly a black beam of energy wrapped around Sora's neck and pulled her to her knees. She gasped for air as she instantly tried to free herself from the ray.
"Sora." The worried digi destined cried to her. But they were helpless to help her. Tai, however, came running at shin sue and tackled her to the ground. The beam that was choking Sora released. Tai was quickly thrown off Shin Sue. She then mercilessly shot an energy beam at Tai, which hit him and thrust him back into the trees.
"Tai." Sora creamed as she witnessed the horrific scene. She instantly shot up and began to pound Shi Sue with volley after volley of attacks.
"Let's end this!" Sora yelled.
"NO! Not yet!" Shin Sue smirked. "I want you to suffer more first." And with that shin sue let off a massive attack that sent Sora falling to the ground. Sora was exhausted.
"You'll come and surrender to me at my palace- you will kill hope and light yourself, otherwise your friends will not survive." And then Shin Sue, her digimon, and the group she held as hostages disappeared.
Sora was helpless to save them. She crawled on her hands and knees for a while until she slumped to the ground and cried.
"I've failed them.." She moaned over and over.
TK and Kari finally got out of their hiding place and found Tai laying on the ground motionless.
"Sora!" Kari screamed. "Come quick! Tai's hurt…"
