Love's True Destiny

Part 11

Sorato Ending

"You make a good argument, Holder of Kindness...." started Baihumon.

"Yet, you do not understand the grave consequences such an act could lead to." continued Xuanwumon

"You have to do something! You can't just let her sacrifice herself like this." cried Ken.

Azulongmon heaved a sigh before explaining, "Believe me when I say the last thing we want is for the Mistress of Love to sacrifice herself. She plays an important role in the future and we hoped to find another solution to this problem."

"There has to be something you can do to help!" Stingmon called out.

"We were told that there is a different type of crest than the original ones." stated Ken as he recalled their conversation with Impmon. "We also found out that they may be more or less powerful than the original crests."

Baihumon's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the little slip of a human boy standing before him, challenging their authority in the digital world. Surely he knew that they could crush him in a mere instant if he riled them. Yet there he stood, neither cocky nor arrogant but with a subdued look of hope upon his features.

"I know not how you learned of these crests and I would like to explain their existence and their purpose." relented Baihumon.

"When the first digidestined fought Mephistopheles and almost failed, we, the guardians of the digital world came to the conclusion that to prevent such a tragedy from reoccurring we would create new crests and should the need arise we would give them to the digidestined. So the four of us, Suzaku included, each made crests for the digidestined whose crests were under our guardianship. However, the original nine crests created a problem. Due to the odd number, Suzaku guarded three crests and if she forged them for three digidestined the balance of the world would be altered. So we chose one of the three crests under her protection and forged it together. The crest we chose is the Crest of Love."

"Love? But why would you choose that instead of any of the others?" questioned the navy haired genius.

"You of all people should know the power of Love." scoffed the digimon. "Reliability, Knowledge, Sincerity, Kindness, Light, Hope, Courage, Friendship, each can falter given the appropriate conditions. But Love is forever. It is unconditional and always lives on in one's heart despite the trials it is put through. The crests are guarded by twelve warriors, one representing each current digidestined. Under other circumstances the digidestined would be required to find them one their own and live up to the power of their crests. But this situation is anything but normal."

"I understand. Will you let me have the crests then?" asked Ken.

"Very well, but be warned, the power of these crests is immense and with great power come great responsibility. Use the power in them wisely and should you fail to do that they will not aid you. These crests are meant for good souls and should darkness possess you the warriors who guarded your crest will return for it and bestow it upon a worthier soul." warned Xuanwumon.

The digimon then fixed their eyes on a distant point and from that point nine lights flew forward to hover before Ken. He cupped his hands to receive them and the minute they touched his fingers he felt the power coursing through them. The crest of Kindness broke apart from the rest and went around Ken's neck.

"In order to use the crests to aid your friend the digidestined must stand in a circle, around the Mistress of Love, facing inward and each must be at the corner whose crest he or she possess. The newer digidestined do not have such crests but they should stand in the same formation and their own power will aid her. Remember that all sides must be balanced and will have an equal number of people at them except for the east because there are only two children of Hope and Light. Farewell, young man." instructed Azulongmon.

A brief smile graced Ken's face before he ran to Stingmon and both disappeared into the real world.

"I hope we are not making a mistake." sighed Baihumon as he watched the little screen of the digiport fade to black.

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

"Can you take one more?" asked Mephistopheles, scornfully before he released another attack. "Shadowy Eyes!" he cried out.

Raven colored beams emerged from Mephistopheles' eyes and repeatedly impacted Zhuqiaomon's foremost wings as the mega digimon cried out in pain. Sora gasped at the pain she felt and realized it reflected her digimon's injuries.

*I have to do something to help her digivolve. But what can I do?* the sunset haired girl asked herself.

"Judging from your performance here I have come to the conclusion that you are not at all powerful. You are truly an unworthy opponent," sneered Mephistopheles. "and I have been wasting my time waiting for you to prove yourself. I will finish this now!" he called out, hoping to provoke the digimon into evolving once more.

"No!" came a shout from Sora as she stood in front of Zhuqiaomon, protecting the digimon from his attack.

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

Not far from Sora's room a computer screen began to glow. A secretary looked in to see where the sudden light came from when a young boy and a giant green caterpillar-like creature emerged from the screen and raced past her shouting their apologies. The secretary fell to the ground in a dead faint and would soon wake up thinking it was a dream.

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

Ken ran down the halls at a frantic pace, hoping to get to Sora before it was too late. He entered the room and began pulling his fellow digidestined away from the computer screen. In response to their protests he exclaimed, "I know how we can help her!"

The room went silent as a tomb as all thirteen people gathered in the room turned to look at him.

"There's no time to explain." He pointed out quickly before continuing, "so just listen to me and do what I tell you. First, we have to put Sora in the center of the room."

Acknowledging his words to be true the digidestined hastened to pull Sora's bed into the center of the room as Ken opened his hands to reveal eight crests. However, before they could be studied the crests flew to their respective owners.

"Ok." Stated Ken, hoping to avoid at least some questions. "Now everyone that has the crests of Reliability or Kindness will stand to the north of Sora. Those who possess the crests of Knowledge or Sincerity will stand to the west of her. Takeru and Kari will stand to the east and if you have the crests of Friendship, Courage or Love stand to the south. All of you must face inward."

"Hey Ken, what about Cody and me? According to our crests we should stand in two different spots." Queried Yolei.

"We have to have three people on each side except for the east so Cody, you can stand at the north and Yolei, you stand to the west."

The digidestined quickly followed Ken's directions, sure that they would get an explanation soon.

(In case you want to know how they're standing or if I confused you I made this little diagram thing! ^^) N-Ken, Joe, Cody

W-Mimi, Izzy, Yolei Sora E-TK, Kari

S-Matt, Tai, Davis

"Now, everyone concentrate on Sora." ordered the holder of Kindness.

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

Sora stood ready to protect Zhuqiaomon with her life and upon seeing her actions Mephistopheles hesitated. The similarities between her and the previous Mistress of Love were hard to ignore and made his choice much more difficult.

Mephistopheles' pause was all the time the Crest of Love needed. It acted quickly, pouring most of it's power into Sora and Zhuqiaomon to help them fight. Zhuqiaomon recovered from her battle wounds as Mephistopheles debated with himself. Before he could retaliate, the fiery digimon launched an attack, "Crimson Blaze!" she cried out.

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

Image s floated through Cody's mind. He saw Sora when she first traveled with them to the digiworld and when she played cards with Deputymon when they went to find Biyomon.

Ken saw a fiery red head lead him home when he had lost all hope. He saw her kind smile and friendly caring eyes making him feel like he mattered.

Yolei remembered the girl who had told her about how wonderful a gift it was to have a digimon. The one who had promised to be her friend for life and stayed by her side in a dusty western town.

Davis saw a girl whose soccer skills rivaled both his and Tai's. A girl who had proven that she was willing to fight even when the odds were against her.

Joe recalled a tomboy who had tried to help him keep the peace four years earlier. A girl who fought with him against the Bakamon, who did her best to help him get out of that wretched Restaurant. The one who worried when he was sick or drew attention from him when she knew he was uncomfortable.

Mimi thought about all the times she had wept her heart out and Sora stood beside her, ready to talk when she needed to. She thought about the girl who helped her realize what she had done to her friends and helped make her crest glow. The one she fought against Cockatrimon with.

Izzy remembered the girl who had paid attention to him when the others refused to listen to his advice. Sometimes she was the only one that had believed him. The girl that worried about everyone and was always ready to take care of them.

Kari thought of the girl she had always admired. The one she had known since she was a little girl and the girl who had taken care of her when she was sick. The sister she never had.

Takeru recounted the numerous times Sora had saved their lives. He remembered the way she took care of him and never laughed at him when he cried. He recalled telling her she reminded him of his mother and the way she threw herself at Piedmon to ensure that he and Kari escaped the evil digimon's grasp.

Tai thought about his best friend, The only girl he knew that would play with the boys. He thought about her courage and kindness. The way she watched over all of them like a sister, in the digiworld. How she saved him from forgetting everything and her silent courage, that often reminded him of Kari. The realization came upon him so suddenly that it knocked the breath out of Tai for a minute. Sora was like Kari and he felt the same about both of them. They were his sisters. The tension that had settled in Tai's heart when he realized he would have to fight Matt for Sora was lifted and he cleared his mind of all other matters except the present situation.

Matt saw her beautiful smile and her sparkling burgundy eyes. He saw her playing tennis, moving gracefully asa goddess around the court, He remembered the way she looked when she was helping someone, she would glow. He thought of how she had wanted to split into two groups so he would be alone. He noticed the way she'd listened to him when he had played his harmonica, hoping he wouldn't notice. He always played a little louder just for her. He thought of all the love he had for her and how it felt just to be around her. As if just being with her made him a better person, she brought out the best in him. He loved her and knew he'd do anything to help her, even if it meant his own demise.

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

Mr . and Mrs. Takenouchi watched in wonder as the aura's of the digidestined began in glow in various colors. They also noted the red aura around their daughter. Unlike those of her friends, however, Sora's aura was faint and clung to her body, revealing its weakness. Abruptly a blue aura belonging to Matt started expanding and moving toward Sora. The fiery crimson and the cooling azure blended together, twining around each other shortly before the other auras converged over Sora, forming a blinding white light. Without warning, Matt collapsed against the bed, and weakly mouthed "I love you" to Sora before losing consciousness completely. His crest let out a radiant cerulean light that joined the others in the center and carved a path downward, right into Sora's body.

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

A/N: - Well I had time to work on this...so tell me if it's ok k? This is obviously the Sorato ending...I'm hoping they'll be only one more part to it.
