Chapter Ten

Matt sighed. "Listen, if we want to save Sora, we need to put aside our pettiness." Matt looked around at everyone. Mimi and Tai looked around at Matt.

"Okay. I was mad at you for hurting Sora like that and putting her in a difficult situation. But it's obvious that you regret what happened and care for her," Joe told Matt. He turned to Mimi, who was leaning against Tai. "Mimi, I forgive you too."

Cody, Ken, Yolei, and Davis looked at her and then at Matt. A smile broke out on their lips. And Matt gladly returned it.

Tk and Kari looked at each other and then at Mimi, Tai, and Matt. "Sorry for not talking to you bro. I was just upset and disappointed in you."

Matt nodded shamefully. "I don't blame you."

"Matt, we're not all mad at you and Mimi. Well we were at first but…well…we forgive you. It's just that Sora's like a sister to us all, and when you hurt her…it angered us. Am I right to say we're all friends again?" Kari looked around at everyone shaking their heads up and down.

Mimi got up and hugged Kari, as Yolei also got up and they all hugged. The boys just looked on.

"Ahem," interrupted Izzy. "Are we all ready now?"

"Let's go!" yelled everyone.

"Well, here goes nothing," Izzy replied as he clicked Gennai's e-mail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yamato and Gennai looked to see a white doorway appear. "They're here," stated Gennai.

"It's about time," Yamato said as he leaned against the wall with crossed arms.

As the white doorway disappeared, ten figures were left behind in one heap. Gennai watched in amusement as he saw them slowly pick themselves up.

"I could never get use to that. How about you Kari?" asked Davis.

"I'm use to," Tk replied.

"Me too," Kari added.

Davis scowled as Tai laughed at him.

Mimi and Yolei's cheeks were red as they stared at a certain somebody. Kari looked in the direction of their stare, and she too had reddening cheeks.

"What's wrong with them?" Cody asked.

"Girls, I'll never figure them out," Ken said.

Izzy and Joe gasped at what the girls were looking at. That guy looked like an older version of Matt. Naaaa, that couldn't be him.

Tk and Matt's mouths dropped open. Tk took a step forward. "Matt?"

"Yes Tk?" answered both Matts. Everyone looked at Matt and Yamato.

"Welcome to the future. As you see, I am Yamato Ishida. The older version, of course." Wow, this is weird…seeing a younger version of myself…

Wow, this is weird…seeing an older version of myself…

"Perhaps we'll show you to your rooms now. It is getting late and you all need a good night's sleep. You will find clothes in each room for you all. You can take a shower and change. Come down for dinner and we'll explain a few things to you," Gennai said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora sat on her bed as the door slowly creaked open. She jumped off her bed to see Demidevimon. "What?"

"Hello Sora, surprised to see me?"

"What are you doing here you little bowling ball?"

"The master requests your presence at dinner. You must be changed and ready to dine by 8:30."

"Well what if I refuse?"

"No one refuses the demon Prince. Consider it an honor you have a cell like this and he wants you at dinner. The closet has fancy dresses. Wear one and be ready," Demidevimon said as he shut the door.

"Oh? He requests my presence does he? Well I won't go!" She glared at the door and turned to her window sadly. I wish I could see what everyone is doing. I wonder what Matt is doing…

"Oh Sora," moaned Matt.

Sora jumped at the voice and her eyes wandered around. Her gaze settled on the mirror. Her cheeks flushed lightly as she saw Matt in his towel with his head against the wall in the mirror. "Matt?" The image slowly faded away. "No wait! Don't go!" Sora cried out as she ran to the mirror.

"Looks like I finally struck a chord," said a voice from behind her.

"Daficus!" jumped Sora. She turned to see his violet eyes.

"Now what's this I here? You refused my invitation?"

Sora's eyes narrowed. "Yes, I did."

"You know, most people would consider it an honor."

"Well I'm not one of those people," retorted Sora.

Daficus roughly grabbed Sora's shoulders. "No one refuses me," he said harshly as he picked her up with ease and threw her on the bed. A scream escaped her lips as she hit the bed. She saw him smile. "You will come to dinner." The closet door opened and a black and gold gown flew out and landed next to Sora. "And you will wear this. The shoes are in the closet and will automatically change color to match whatever dress you wear. Undergarments are in the drawers in the closet. Now, get in that shower."

Sora looked at him defiantly. "No."

"I guess we'll do this the hard way." And with that, Sora was lifted in the air and was placed in the bathroom as Daficus laid himself down on Sora's bed. "Now hurry up."

Sora's eyes flashed angrily. How dare he!

"I'll stay here until you're finished. Don't worry, I can't see you, only the outline of your body," grinned Daficus.

Sora was officially steamed now. She could practically see him smiling. How humiliating!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At dinner with the Digidestined…

"Good, I see everyone's here. So as not to get confused, the younger Matt will be called Matt and the older one will be Yamato. I am sure the e-mail explained that Sora was kidnapped and taken to my time. You probably are wondering why Kari isn't the most powerful, right?" He saw them nod and continued. "The child of light does have great powers but it is Sora whose powers exceed that of any other human. I know Yolei has the crests of love and sincerity, but Sora is the true holder of love. It is her strongest quality."

"Yes, we know that. But why is she the strongest?" Kari asked.

"If she is the most powerful, then why didn't we know about it before? It always seemed that she was the least powerful," Izzy said.

"Would you let him finish?" asked Yamato.

Gennai continued, "Like I was saying, she's powerful. It just took years for her powers to grow and develop. That is why she always appeared to be the least powerful Digidestined. Have you ever heard that love is a powerful thing? Or that it is universal? Or how about that love conquers all? Well those sayings were not just made up. It all stems from a battle between good and evil in ancient times. Well now that evil has taken over the Digiworld and has started disrupting Earth, it is time for the power of love to save the innocent. It is time for Sora's powers to be reawakened by her love for humanity, and life. I believe that-"

"What do you mean be reawakened?" Matt asked.

Gennai glared at Matt. "Please allow me to finish. Her mother died a second after Sora was born. A pink light radiated from her body and threw the doctor and nurse into a wall as she floated over to her mother. She laid down in her mother's limp arms and Sora put her hands on her mother's chest. A light swept over her, and she opened her eyes to see her daughter in her arms. As the light died down, the nurse and doctor opened their eyes. They have kept that miracle hidden, as Sora's powers remained dormant for years. The point is that they will be awakened when she has a dream tonight."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile…

Sora wrapped a towel around her and walked out to find Daficus standing there. She glared at him. "I have to change," she said icily.

"If you don't want that to happen again, then I suggest you listen to me. Now, I will leave. At 8:30, I'll send an escort for you."

"How am I supposed to know what time is it?"

"I put a clock on the wall. Now goodbye." He slowly disappeared, leaving Sora alone.

Her cheeks were still red as she began to get dressed. I can't believe how he humiliated me like that! What an as-no! He's not worth being angry over. But I can't help it!

Once Sora was dressed, she looked in the full-length mirror. She was wearing an off the shoulder silky black gown that fit her nicely and came out a little. Her hair was down, and held by an antique looking floral clip. A few wisps of her hair covered her face. She glanced at the clock. 8:29. Oh great! She looked at the shoes and saw they were glass. She was surprised to see they were comfortable and soft. Her eyes looked in wonder as the shoes turned black.

Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

Sora turned around to see two red demons (they wore a black uniform and had two horns on their heads) with spears come in. "Dinner is ready," they said, bearing their sharply pointed teeth. Sora shuddered at their touch on her arms. She closed her eyes as their claws dug deeply into her soft skin. She could feel herself being pulled roughly, and was relieved when they stopped to remove their cold scaly hands off her.

"I'm glad you could make it."

Sora's eyes snapped open to see Daficus standing before her.

He saw red marks on her arms and said, "You look ravishing my dear. Please take a seat from across me on the table."

"Not that I have a choice," Sora mumbled as she sat down at a beautifully decorated oval table. Two Lilymon flew into the room, pouring wine into their glasses.

"For dinner, you have a choice of roast duck or roast Biyomon."

Sora's eyes widened as she got a sick feeling in her stomach. "Biyomon?" she choked out.

"No, not your Biyomon. I already killed the Digidestined Digimon. I take it you'll settle for the duck." His lips curved into a cruel but delighted smile. He enjoyed her discomfort.

"You monster!" she spat out angrily.

"Thanks," he said smugly as he gazed deeply into her eyes.

Sora broke the gaze as turned away, crossing her arms. She stayed that way, even as the food was set down in front of her. But the aroma of the roast duck, steamed vegetables, and rice tantalized her. She tried to fight it but her resistance was weakening fast, especially since she had not eaten anything all day. She finally gave in and tried a portion of her meal, and was shocked at how exquisitely delicious it all tasted.

Daficus looked at her with satisfaction. Good, she's eating. Now all she needs to do is drink the wine. He smiled, as he knew what the wine would do, put her in a hypnotic state so that she'd be at his mercy.
