Author's Note: The whole story has been leading up to this chapter. Read closely, because Daemon uses a line from Star Wars here (I just couldn't help myself). Prepare to be blown away.

Chapter 6: The Child of Love
Matt pulled up in front of the hotel where Sora was staying. He got out of the car as quickly as he could, with Gabumon following close behind. Just as they were about to rush in and ask the front desk what room Sora was staying in, they saw Tai and Agumon waiting in front of the door. Matt and Tai stood glaring at each one another for a moment in the pouring rain, while Agumon and Gabumon began snarling at each other.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Tai asked threateningly.
"I've come to take Sora back!" Matt replied in an angry tone. "So get out of my way!"
"You don't deserve her after the way you treated her!"
"Neither do you! Not after all the times you've treated her like dirt!"
"At least I didn't slap her and throw her out on the street! Now get the hell out of here!"
"No! I'm not leaving until I see Sora! Now get out of my way!"
"No!" Tai told him in a low voice.
"I said get out of my way!" Matt repeated as he clenched his fists.
"And what the hell are you gonna do if I don't?"
Immediately Tai's question was answered when Matt charged at him and punched him in the jaw. Tai quickly recovered and hit Matt in the stomach. At the same time, Agumon shot a fireball from his mouth at Gabumon. Gabumon managed to dodge it and shot a beam of blue light from his mouth that hit Agumon. When the reptile Digimon got back to his feet, both he and Agumon began glowing with a thick black aura. The two Digimon cried out and suddenly transformed.
"Agumon dark warp digivolve to…BlackWarGreymon!" Agumon cried as he transformed, his voice becoming deeper and more savage with the utterance of his other name.
When his transformation had finished, Agumon had become a version of WarGreymon whose skin and gold armor had turned pitch black. The mane of red hair that stuck out of the back of WarGreymon's helmet had turned blond, and his eyes glowed red with fury.
"Gabumon dark warp digivolve to…BlackMetalGarurumon!" Gabumon cried as he transformed at about the same time as Agumon, his voice also becoming deeper and more savage with the utterance of his other name.
With his transformation finished, Gabumon had changed into a version of MetalGarurumon with armor that was mostly pitch black, and like BlackWarGreymon his eyes glowed red. Both Digimon roared at one another, and then BlackWarGreymon charged at his opponent. BlackMetalGarurumon fired a barrage of missiles at the dark dragon warrior. BlackWarGreymon quickly blocked most of the missiles with his shield, while the others hit the surrounding cars and buildings. When BlackWarGreymon got close enough his slashed at BlackMetalGarurumon, and soon a savage and animalistic fight between the two began as they started fighting tooth and claw. Meanwhile Daemon and Lilithmon were watching both fights from atop a nearby building.
Daemon laughed as the two corrupted Digimon and their human partners fought. "Good! Good! Let the hate flow through you!"
"Oh this is so much fun!" Lilithmon gleefully declared. "I haven't been entertained like this in thousands of years!"
Not too far away, Sora was running through the pouring rain with Biyomon flying close behind. Her heart was still pounding from being infused with Zhuqiaomon's raw power, and she felt like she was going to explode. The two noticed a sudden explosion nearby and immediately ran to go see what it was. When they finally arrived on the scene, Sora and Biyomon beheld the horrible sight of Tai and Matt beating each other's brains out and BlackWarGreymon and BlackMetalGarurumon attacking one another like a pair of wild dogs. Sora's expression twisted into one of utter horror as she beheld her worst nightmare.
"No…" Sora whispered. "No, no, no, no… Stop it. Stop it! Stop! STOP!"
With that cry Sora suddenly began glowing with a red aura, and Biyomon shot up high into the air and seemed to explode in a blinding flash of red light.
"Biyomon warp digivolve to…Hououmon!" Biyomon cried as she transformed, her voice deepening with the utterance of her other name.
When the light cleared, Biyomon had become a giant bird with four massive wings and gold feathers. On her face she wore a gold mask, and around her legs were gold bands. None of the combatants had noticed Hououmon's arrival. They were too consumed by their rage towards each other.
"I said STOP!" Sora cried in an echoing voice as she fired a beam of red light from her hands that hit Tai and Matt and knocked them to the ground.
At the same time, Hououmon flapped her wings and fired a barrage of gold lights at BlackWarGreymon and BlackMetalGarurumon. Both Digimon roared as the golden shower hit them. Suddenly BlackMetalGarurumon and BlackWarGreymon exploded, and when the smoke cleared both of them had changed. BlackWarGreymon had reverted into a small white ball-shaped creature with a fanged mouth, large brown eyes, and a pair of feelers that looked like rabbit ears. This was Agumon's In-Training form, Koromon.
BlackMetalGarurumon meanwhile had reverted into a small ball-shaped creature with an orange body, white face, and a horn on top shaped like a backwards shark fin. This was Gabumon's In-Training form, Tsunomon. Both Digimon had very sad expressions on their faces. Meanwhile, both Matt and Tai sat up, and after coming to their senses were shocked to see Sora standing before them.
Sora's body was still glowing with an aura of red light. The rain seemed to turn to steam as it his her. Tears were streaming down Sora's face as she looked at the two with very sad eyes. Both Matt and Tai were completely speechless.
"I don't want to see you two hurting each other anymore," Sora told the two in an echoing voice. "I care about you both so very much. Matt, you're the one I love most in the world, I don't think I could imagine my life without you. And Tai…even though our relationship never worked out, I still consider you to be a very precious friend. I love you both very much, and it hurts my heart to see you two trying to kill one another. And if one of you were to actually kill the other…I don't think I could ever forgive you! So please…don't fight over me anymore."
Both Matt and Tai's expressions saddened as they looked away from Sora. They couldn't bear to see the girl they both cared about so much look at them with those eyes. The two soon realized that the only thing their fighting was doing was hurting Sora, and they both felt terrible about it.
"I do not believe this!" a voice suddenly shouted angrily. "How could my spell have been broken by a pathetic girl?"
The three looked towards the source of the voice and saw Daemon standing nearby across from Sora.
"I don't know exactly what sort of power you've used girl, but I will destroy you for ruining my plans!" Daemon declared.
"You fiend!" Sora spat in her still echoing voice as her expression changed to one of utter fury. "You've twisted the minds of those I love, and for that I will make you pay!"
Daemon chuckled a little. "You're welcome to try, little girl."
With that Hououmon flew down and hovered a few feet in the air above Sora. Meanwhile the fiery red aura around Sora began to glow brighter. A battle was about to begin.
Author's Note: You'll probably only see the goddess-like powers that Sora displayed in this story. I mostly did it because I wanted her to actually fight Daemon herself instead of just having Hououmon do all the fighting for her.
Stay tuned for the exciting final chapter of Demon Crisis Book 3: Wrath. In the meantime, please review and let me know what you think.
