The Phantoms of their Second Battlefield
3. Sora
She loved the breeze, but she wasn't a flier until the digital world. Not like Miyako who might have been born on the back of a bird and stayed there through her youth. She can't fly, anyway. It's Piyimon who carries her in the digital world, and the wind who can manage very short bursts afterwards, on the battlefront with the phantoms. But people hear wind and think she can do amazing things with it.
She can, she supposes, but it's more amazing with Mimi's plants and the mix of fragrances that can put an entire battlefield to sleep. Because none of them really want to fight to the end of time. But imaginations are such that they'll continue for as long as there are people who can think and dream.
The better battles are the ones where they don't have to fight, but those are hardly ever given to them. And it's Mimi who does the sweet-talking. Hikari, sometimes. Sora wishes she had that sort of ability as well, and she does as far as humans are concerns but it's not a magic power that'll work on the phantoms. She does have some healing ability, though. She can heal friend and foe alike, and she wishes that was somehow related to the digital world like most their other powers, but it doesn't seem to be. She couldn't save Patamon or Picollomon or Leomon...
But when Daisuke is a little too reckless and fries himself along with his enemies, Sora can patch him up good as new. When Miyako's flown too high or Iori's dug too deep, she can reverse the hypoxia fairly quickly. Ken and Hikari and their demons she can't help with so much, not with the special powers anyway, but she's the Chosen of love and she can give them that much and it helps, some.
When she graduates, she worries. She's not even a doctor. She has no intention of becoming one; that's all Jyou. But Jyou doesn't have healing powers. Hikari does, though. Hers take longer to work, to heal. Maybe that's better, though. It gives them chances to rest in between. But they're all the sort to worry, to feel guilty when others take dangerous work and get hurt while they're laid up. But Daisuke has a sunny disposition in spades that balances that out.
They're a good team, those six. And Sora feels a little guilty not joining the government like some of the others: like Koushiro, and Taichi, and Jyou. But they also need somewhere outside of the battlefield: a place of peace and beauty to return to: a garden with a nice gentle breeze.
