CHAPTER 21
Lisa was silent for a long while, white with shock. 'This can't be happening.' She thought to herself. 'It just can't. Now I'm the last remaining Keeper. I've got all the powers.' She looked down at her hands and a small wisp of a different element appeared over each of her fingers.
"Lisa, you okay?" Koji asked quietly.
"Hey guys-what's going on?" JP asked as he, Tommy, and Kouichi walked into the room and saw the expressions on everyone's faces.
"What's wrong?" Kouichi asked when no one answered.
"It's Sao . . ." Zoe said, trailing off sadly.
"She's dead." Wizardmon said, being the only one in the room who could finish delivering the sad news without crying.
The three newly arrived Warriors fell silent in sad contemplation.
"Isn't there anyway we can bring her back?" Tommy asked quietly.
The other Warriors shook their heads sadly.
Lisa's expression turned angry and determined. She turned on her heel and pulled her D-Tector off her belt.
"Lisa. What're you doing?" Takuya asked, noticing her sudden movement.
Lisa didn't reply, she just continued moving closer to Sao's still form.
"Lisa, stop. What do you think you're doing?!" Kouichi asked.
"Get out." Lisa said coldly.
The Warriors and Wizardmon gave her quizzical looks.
"I said get out." Lisa said in an even colder tone.
"Lisa, let us help-"
"Shut up and get lost!" Lisa yelled, swinging her hand around at the Warriors. When she finally was facing them, her eyes were a dull medium blue.
The others gasped.
"Lisa, what's wro-"
All of the combined elements shot out of Lisa's fingertips and knocked the others out of the room. The doors slammed shut behind them.
"Whoa! What the heck was that?!" Takuya exclaimed, sitting up and looking around.
"I feared this might happen." Wizardmon said, sitting up as well.
"What might happen?" Kouichi asked as the others sat up.
Wizardmon sighed. "The powers she has inherited have taken her over, giving her a sense of invincibility."
"What's so bad about that?" JP asked.
"If she tries what I think she's going to try, she'll most likely wind up as dead as Sao." Wizardmon replied solemnly.
The Warriors stared first at Wizardmon, then at the closed door in utter shock and horror.
'You won't abandon me again Sao, I'll make sure of that.' Lisa thought coldly to herself as she slowly turned to face her deceased companion.
"We've gotta stop her!" Takuya exclaimed.
"And how do you propose we do that, genius?" Koji asked.
"I dunno . . . we've just gotta." Takuya replied, getting to his feet and heading towards the closed door.
The other Warriors exchanged looks before getting up and following their leader into the room.
Lisa stepped closer to her friend's body, her eyes still void of emotion. She raised her hands above her fallen comrade and the elements surrounded them.
The room door swung open, but the Warriors were too late. Lisa was standing over Sao, elements transferring energy from one to the other.
"What are you doing back, fools?" Lisa asked coldly, her emotionless voice making the Warriors flinch.
Takuya was the first to recover. "Lisa, you've gotta stop!"
"Why? So She can abandon me again? I don't think so." Lisa's monotone voice replied. She moved one hand over to face the Warriors.
Small blasts of energy shot out of her fingers and struck the Warriors to the ground.
"LISA! What's the big idea?! We're trying to stop you from killing yourself!" Kouichi exclaimed, scrambling to his feet.
"Keep out of this-it is not your business." Lisa snapped.
"That's where you're wrong." Takuya said firmly, standing up. "You and Sao are our friends. That MAKES it our business." Takuya said, stepping forward.
"Stop now. Don't make me destroy you." Lisa warned.
Takuya ignored her warning and continued walking forward.
"This is your last chance gogglehead. Stop." Lisa growled, her hand sparking with elements.
Takuya once again ignored her and continued stepping towards her.
"Fine." Lisa said coldly, unleashing the elements and sending them shooting at Takuya. "You have sealed your fate."
"No, TAKUYA!" Zoe yelled, jumping to her feet.
[a/n: Should I just leave it here and never continue again? Tell me.]
