The winds blew against Taichi's body relentlessly. It was a long time since he had last felt the pain the air was creating. He was numb all over. He looked over at Joe and in wry humor noticed how the snow stuck to his face; frozen on his eyebrows and eyelashes. The two had run out of things to talk about a while ago. Besides which, Joe mentioned earlier when you opened your mouth to speak you risked getting your lips wet. The water would freeze and split your lips, leaving them raw. Not that it really matters; I wouldn't feel it now anyway. Tai glanced down haphazardly at his wrist. 3:30, only a half hour left now. He examined his digital watch a little more thoroughly. He had never seen the change from digi-egg to watch take place. He was too busy worrying about the injured Joe. He saw the courage emblem imbedded in the background of the watch and there were three buttons on the side. Cautiously, Tai pressed the first button and the emblem glowed, the light shouting out from it like a laser. He scrunched up his face, waiting for it to start glowing brighter or for something to blow up. Nothing changed. Oh!! It's a light!! Ha ha. That's pretty cool. He tried the second button. A blurry, static-filled panel took the place of the watch face. The words 'Low Power' flashed on and off the screen. Okay.. clearly that one is not working.. Tai looked suspiciously at the last button. It was red and slightly larger then all the others. Now, knowing Gennai, and all those tv's shows previously…I probably shouldn't press this button.
"Oh well!" Tai said out loud and moved his finger over the red button; Joe turns around to see what Tai's doing.
"Um Tai… I don't think you should-" ::click::
A powerful warm aura filled the air surrounding Tai's and Joe's body with an orangey light, but the glowing dulled and faded; replaced with computer's malfunctioning clicks, and the chilly breeze.
"LEVEL NOT ATTAINED." A metallic voice stated.
-Back to Matt and Sora -
As Matt kissed Sora, he added his power to Biyomon's and Sora's connection so that a bridge was created. Sora, Matt, and Biyo connect, but weakened and separated, they cannot form a digi-human, which is the ultimate battle form. Sora held onto Biyo as long as possible, but the bond began to break. The portal ripped open to clam Biyomon back to the horror she had come from. But Sora, overprotective and self sacrificing, flung Biyo at Matt, and threw herself into the portal. Like a rubber band the three are snapped back to the forest/ tower. Matt pulled away from Sora kiss and Sora faded into Biyo. Biyo's torturer watched in amazement as the pink bird faded, and then became replaced with a red haired girl. The torturer's master stepped out from behind him, to gaze at the girl laying chained, her eye's still in a daze, almost paralyzed, recovering from the amount of energy she lost in the connection.
"Well done." He smirked evilly. He grabbed her face with his hands, forcing her face to look up towards his. "She should recover shortly, then we can begin. I want her to feel the pain she's caused me." Sora couldn't hear anything he was saying; she was so weak the only thing she made out were mumblings, but as she looked in his eyes she felt her body grow cold. Matt's eye's were an icy blue but she always felt them to be warm and loving; her capturer's were a dark red, but they were as hard and as cold as ice. Using all her strength she wrenched her eyes away from his face, and fell into a deep, dreamless, unconsciousness.
-Ice Caverns-
Tk walked ahead of Kari through the tunnels. Kari followed in his footsteps, and watched curiously. Tk had changed so much since his last trip to the digital world. She knew that he loved her, but it was different from when they where younger. He was taking care of his problems by himself. He didn't tell her what he was feeling as much. He was becoming independent, mature; becoming the man he wanted to be. Kari knew she had to let him grow on his own, and that she couldn't carry him through his struggles like she had wanted to when she was younger. She had to be the support from the sidelines, and let him fight his own fights at home. It was so hard watching him though. He walked ahead of her his shoulders stiff, looking straight ahead. She loved him, and she new it was hurting him that she had gotten her egg to transform first, but she wished he wouldn't be so cold about it.
This one's for Sorato4ever, thanks for the e-mail. Sorry it took so long, I'm a senior in high school now, and stupidly, I piled on all the hard classes, as well as a few college courses, and just for kicks, a job on the side. In all the commotion I totally forgot about this story. I was so surprised to see the fanfiction review e-mail in my mailbox!! I really loved this story too… I'll try to update monthly @ worst. I need to finish it, and I'll try. More Sora and Takari in the next chapter!
Love and Peace,
