"I've located the location of the 8th spirit rays." Dr.Sid announced but he had a disturb look on his face, droving Sora to ask him what's wrong.
He paused, trying to find the right words to say.
"The spirit's is located inside the aliens meteor cavern," Dr. Sid said.
"You're not asking Sora to go on a suicide mission, are you!?" Matt berated, from the look on his face he sure isn't going let Sora go.
"All my life I dedicated myself to this research and to Dr. Sid's theory. We came a long way, and it's my only chance to proof it. If I don't go now I still die." Sora said, "Let me die with a cause, even if I die early I'll die fighting for it."
"Don't say that! You'll get through this!" Matt argued.
"I don't care! I'm still going no matter what you say or do!" Sora said glaring at her with parching red eyes.
"I'm going with you," Matt stated.
Dr. Sid just watched as the two continued to argue on the matter.
Then Matt stopped and looked to Dr. Sid,
"Is it just me, or is this place growing darker?" Matt said exchanging glances with the both of them.
"We're in space Yamato it's supposed to be dark." Sora mocked, still angry at him.
"No, the captain's right. Something is blocking the light from the sun to our ship." Dr. Sid said as he curiously peeks out of the tempered fiber glass windows.
The two followed his pursuit looking through the window.
"What's that?" Matt asked clueless.
"Zeus," Dr. Sid whispered the words barely escaping his mouth.
Sora flees towards the computer scanning the object.
"That's the Zeus Canon! I thought the military wanted cancel its usage!" Sora said her hands seemingly floating on top of the holographic keyboard.
"The weapon is aiming for the alien's meteor! They'll destroy the 8th spirit! We can't afford to lose it now that we have come this far!" Sora said taking a device and rushing to exit the bridge.
Almost immediately Matt's hand caught her wrist.
Sora turned around her face, millimeters away from him.
"I'm going with you," Matt said, his voice deep and rich. 'He'd make a good singer with a voice like that.' Sora said to herself blushing at the thought. 'What am I thinking! And at a time like this!' She kicked herself mentally.
"Whatever." She said storming out of the room as quickly as her feet would take her. She needed to be away from him.
"I'll be monitoring both of you from here," Dr Sid said to Matt. "And don't worry, I developed a shield using the spirit wave from Sora's emblem. We didn't get to save the digimon to make a better shield so we'll have to work with this." Dr. Sid explained.
Yamato was about to leave when a hand caught his shoulder.
"Take care of her for me, she's my daughter." Dr. Sid said.
Matt smiled as if swearing that'll he'll take of Sora. Dr. Sid understood and Matt left the room.

Escape Pod Area
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Sora placed a foot inside the mini craft, Matt was behind her, zipping up his gray space suit.
Suddenly Sora felt a sharp pain on her chest. Her mouth opened to yell but she quickly bit her lip holding the urge to scream. Her heart was aching as if it would explode. She fell to her knee, letting the device on her hand fall to the floor.
Matt ran to the side of the redhead catching her by her waist before she collapse to the floor.
The pain continued to torture her but she endured it and pulled herself up. Yamato puts a hand under her arm to help her stand but Sora pushed it away and independently took her seat in the craft.
Sora looked down, her pale face hidden under her long red bangs. Matt took his seat and piloted the craft out to their destination.
"You have exactly 6 minutes before Zeus opens fire." Dr. Sid informed them through the intercom.
"We copy," Matt answered.
Sora still sat here motionless. Matt was worried, but he wouldn't show it. He knows Sora like the back of his hand. She's not the kind to let people pity her.
"We're here." Matt said.
"I think I'll turn back," Matt said.
Sora glared at him.
"I'm joking!" Matt laughed.
"Chicken!" Sora said with a slight grin.
"Sora, If we survive this… can I," Matt paused giving the sexiest look he could pull.
"Shag you?"
Sora stared in surprise, her carnelians eyes went wide. Her whole face turning red.
"You're joking aren't you." She laughing helplessly.
At last she laughed, she sounded like a cheerful bell.
Matt stared at the girl laugh, relief that he could help her forget her pain.
Matt leaned closer to her, "I'm not joking." Matt said whispering the word into her ear.
He pulled back, a serious look on his face. His blue eyes narrowed looking sharply at her.
She immediately stopped laughing.
"Got ya!" Matt winked, slowly descending the craft into the cavern.
The thick iron atmosphere around the cavern clouded their sight. They continued to move deeper and deeper into the cold atmosphere.
The pain suddenly returned.
Sora touched her lips, her fingers was trembling so was her lips and the rest of her body. She was facing an ordeal, trying to control the pain.
Matt landed them on the side of the cavern.
He let go of the control and looked at Sora. She could see her body shake.
She was in pain, again. When will this stop?
He couldn't take it anymore.
He pulled her into an embrace. Her body was cold.
She could feel Sora's hand on his chest, struggling to push him away but she continued to hug her tightly warming her cold body.
Sora relentlessly tried to break free from his arm. Matt pulled back her hair behind her ear and touched the emblem.
The sphere appeared, inside it shows the alien entity inside her. Matt eyes narrowed to see the entity trying to eat itself out of the sphere.
Sora was thrashing wildly at every jab the entity makes to escape.
Matt pushed his headpiece.
"Dr. Sid, have you located the 8th spirit?" Matt asked.
"Yes, it's very near to you… actually its right behind you." Dr. Sid said.
Matt whirled his head back to see a faction of aliens coming their way.
Sora stopped thrashing, "The spirit is one of the aliens," She murmured softly, "I can feel it."
Sora reached for the panel, shutting down their shield.
Without a moment to lose Matt grab his gun and starts shooting or risked being turned into a corpse popsicle.
Sora got out of the craft and walked towards the alien.
Matt halted his fire, not wanting to shoot Sora down in the process. He jumped out of the craft and grabbed Sora back, pulling her away from them.
"Sora, Matt! Get out of there, Zeus's going to open fire!" Dr. Sid warned
"Sora, come on!!" Matt ushered, trying to pull her.
Sora wouldn't budge from her position. Matt ran back to get her, "This place's gonna blow!" Matt told her.
Sora draws her hand out, there in the middle of the faction of alien. There was one, alien oddly different from the other. A soft blue light glowed from its body.
A bright light broke through the barrier of the sky. Sora and Matt looked up and saw a bright light shooting towards them. The whole sky turned white as the intense light of the Zeus Canon neared them.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Sora was standing there, again
The dream
There were two army. Between the two different guised alien, Sora stood.
One army looked more human like, no.
More of attributes and limbs, two legs, two arm, a head.
The other army was more towards larger more inferior ones with four legs or ones with tails and wings.
Even dragon like.
But they were unarmed, no weapons. They fight using their own body as if they had no intelligence, animal like.
Suddenly showers of hot stones fall towards them like a rain of stones. It was a meteorite an enormous body darkening the sky as it emerges through the atmosphere.
It crashed into the alien planet.
With a strong explosion the planet surface cracked and a bright light appeared from its core.
The planet was dying.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
The answers, is in my dreams…
The dream is complete! Sora understands now
Sora woke up, her body scrambled into a sitting position.
She was alive.
She looked around, the alien entity at the source of the meteor had grown a hundred times bigger, the smaller aliens are gone. That mean the 8th spirit is gone! Their only hope for survival is lost! forever!
She opened her watch and turned on the holo-map, desperately trying to search for the 8th spirit.
Computer: 8th spirit, unable to detect
Sora slammed the ground in front of her.
Glaring at the canon that covered the sun, making an eclipse.
A sound startled her.
She wisped around to see a rock falling towards her. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the impact.
The rock knocked the ground as it impacted. Sora opens her eyes to see the rock missing her by inches. Just when she though she was safe the ground below her cracked, the air around her grew strong as she plunges down towards the alien's meteor core.
Suddenly she felt a sturdy hand grab her arm. She opens her eyes to see Matt trying to pulling her up.
Then another bright light filled the sky.
"Their firing again!? Stupid!!" Matt yelled.
Matt towered over Sora using his body as a shield. Half of the cavern was destroyed.
The light slowly disappears.
Sora opens her eyes and looked to check on Yamato.
The alien entity had grown to the size of infinity and continued growing.
"Sora! Are you okay? Please answer!" Dr. Sid voice questioned them through the intercom of the aircraft. Matt ran towards the craft and answered the call.
"We're fine! Doctor! But we have to report, asks the Zeus to stop shooting! The alien is growing bigger everytime they shoot!" Matt said to through his headpiece.
"Pass me to Sora!" Dr. Sid requested.
Matt took the headpiece and dashed over to Sora who was looking down from the cliff.
"Sora, Dr. Sid wants to talk to yo-" Matt stopped mid-sentence stunned by the sight in front of him.
Sora slowly took the headpiece from Matt's offering hand.
"Dr. Sid… I can see it." Sora muttered with awe, a light blue glow shimmered from the earth's core. It was beautiful.
"It's Gaia! Your theory is true! Do you know what this means!?" Sora said jumping into Matt's unexpected arms.
Back at the space station Dr. Sid smiled to himself.
"Sora, I can't locate the 8th spirit, listen you'll have to find it, by heart." Dr. Sid said.
"What do you mean by heart?!" Matt yelled as he struggles to keep the aliens back. "There's thousands of them!"
Suddenly Sora collapse to the floor.
They were trapped.
There is no way out. Matt went beside Sora and placed his hand into hers.
Suddenly a blue light flared from Sora's chest. Her eyes fluttered open.
The pain was gone.
She's cured.
The 8th spirit, it's being reborn in the alien entity inside me.
Sora squeezed Matt's hand and look into his eyes.
"I'm cured." She whispered softly.
"The wave is completed." She said.
Her face glowed like it was before, soo serene and tranquil.
The large entity, had grown larger the place is unstable.
"Come on!" Matt said sliding her body into his arm and carried her to the aircraft.
The entity was growing rapidly, heavy rock showered around them. The cliff broke, just in the nick of time Matt turned on the shield. They passed through the entity.
Matt tried to pilot themselves out but the craft was wrecked thanks to the shot.
"We need to scatter the wave from here." Sora said slowly.
"I'm going to have to touch the entity as a conductor." Sora said reaching the panel to open the shield.
"No." Matt said stopping her hand.
"Let me be the conductor," Matt said.
"No way, Yamato Ishida! I'm not going to let you-" Sora argued, but Matt shushed her placing soft kiss on her lips.
"Let me fight for the truth. Now that I finally believe." Matt continued.
Matt let go of Sora's hand and touched the button on the panel.
The mauve shield disappeared.
Matt climbed onto the rocks and reached down to hold Sora's hand.
"See you, Dr. Takenouchi." He said
His hand ran to the entity and the blue light filled his body and surged into the alien.
His spirit slowly left it's body and confined into the entity.
His lifeless body fell limply on top of hers.
The entity glowed a bright blue as it's gradually break into a shower of particles bathing the earth.
The wave gushed to the surface renewing lands and cities.
Water sprung from the fresh rivers.
The sun shining on the two figures being pulled up by an aircraft.
Sora wrapped both her arms around his face.
Her face buried into his hair.
"I can feel the sun, Yama. Can you feel it?" She said picking up his hand and pointing it towards the sun.
Sora slowly let's go of his hand in hope, that somehow, it will remain there and Matt will wake up and look at her with his sugar blue eyes trying his effortless effort to seduce her when they were still training at the force.
But his hand fall back to the ground next to him.
Hot tears ran down her face.
"I'll see you soon,"
"Captain Ishida."
