Love's True Destiny
Part 3


Sora looked around at the world around her. She remembered wishing she could take Kari's place when she, Kari, was sick but that didn't explain how she got where she was now.


"Hey Sora. I knew you wouldn't let Kari get hurt so I came to help you fight her battle for her, just this once. You can't protect her forever you know."


Sora looked down to her right for the source of the voice. She spotted a bright pink bird that shone like a light in the darkness around her. "Biyomon!"


"Yes Sora, its me."


"What are you doing here, Bi? More importantly, where is here?"


"Sora haven't you figured it out yet? Don't you remember what happened?"


"All I remember is talking to Kari and praying."


"You prayed that someone stronger could take her place so someone did."


"Y-y you mean..."


"That's right Sora. You are that someone. You are sick instead of Kari but don't worry. We won't lose!"


"We? What do you mean we? How did you get inside me, Bi?"


"Well we don't have much time to talk so I'll make this short. Gennai detected some strange reactions within you and Kari just a little while after she got sick and was taken to the hospital. He found a way to send Gatomon into her body to help her fight the digivirus. Since he found something in you too he decided to send me here just in case something happened."


Before she could have any of her other questions answered Sora looked around to see that she and her partner found themselves surrounded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"I' ve got it! Prodigious! I think I know what has happened here!"


The digidestined gathered around the boy to hear his explanation. "After some discussion with Yolei and Cody I've come to the conclusion that....."


"Well what did you find out Izzy?" Tai interupted impatiently.


"Joe come here and take a look at this!"


Joe followed Izzy's eyes and saw something he had never imagined in his wildest dreams. "I-i-it's Sora!! And Biyomon!!!"


"What!!?" exclaimed Matt and Tai.


They scrambled over to the laptop and sure enough there were Sora and Biyomon surrounded by something that sent chills down their spines.


"Sora..." came an inaudible whisper from Matt as he watched the figure on the screen with a soft look.


As Matt watched Sora's struggle against this thing Tai's heart was aching. He could do nothing but look on as Sora fought what appeared to be a losing battle.


"As I was saying I've come to the conclusion that-" started Izzy again when Davis and Takeru walked into the room. One was on either side of Kari, holding onto her as if she would disappear if they let go.


"Hey! So did you guys figure out what happened to Sora yet?" asked Davis loudly.


Before anyone could reply Kari stumbled over to the bed and threw her arms around the unconscious girl who she considered her older sister.


"She did it for me! Sora!"


"I'm supposed to be the one explaining this Kari! Anyway as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted..."glances at Davis"I think Sora has taken Kari's place by the power of her crest. After an analysis of her condition and her crest I've come to a very startling conclusion. Her crest, the Crest of Love, is in fact the most powerful crest of all. It appears that when her love for someone is intense enough, any selfless wish she makes will come true!"


The digidestined stood silent at this revelation until two people interrupted it.


"What do you mean her crest is the most powerful? Did this happen because of it?" Tai questioned frantically.


"You mean she wished she could trade places with Kari?" came a incredulous reply from Matt.


"Apparently yes. But what I find most startling is that Biyomon is also there. How did she get into Sora's body? More importantly how did she know this was going to happen?"


Before another comment could be made Kari answered Izzy question. "It was Gennai."


"Gennai? Kari, what does Gennai have to do with this?" queried Tai.


"I can't remember too well. It's all kind of blurry but I remember Gatomon saying something about Gennai sensing danger and sending our digimon into us to help. I think she mentioned something about a strange power coming from Sora so Biyomon was sent into her."


"Prodigious!"


As everyone was listening to Izzy's and Kari's explanation one figure crept silently across the room. The boy had silently left Kari's side and moved toward the bed. He looked upon the girl who had always been there when he needed her. She was always so strong yet now she lay in the bed, pale and wasting away before his eyes. She was the only one, except for Kari, that he could confide in. He gently took her hand in his and whispered "Please fight it. Don't lose. What would we do without you, our sister, here to watch over us?"


Kari finally noticed him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "She'll be ok Takeru. She's strong and will fight this thing." she told him, speaking with more confidence than she had.


"I hope so Kari 'cause I don't know what we'll do without her here to help us."


While this exchange took place the rest of the digidestined decided that one of them should stay with Sora. The watches were divided up for the next week. Each old digidestined got one day to stay with her. If she didn't improve by that time then each of the new digidestined would stay with her for the next week.


Tai volunteered to take the first day and Matt took the second before anyone could object. Then it was Takeru, Joe, Mimi, Izzy, and Kari.


Before they left Izzy showed them something Cody, Yolei, and he had concocted. It was a strange device which allowed them to see Sora. He informed everyone that he would try to get a microphone attached to the apparatus so they could attempt to talk to Sora who could probably hear them if they had a direct connection to her.


While everyone filed out of the room and left Tai with Sora, two brothers lingered behind to glance at her before leaving the room. As the two exited the room Tai called Matt back. He was not as imperceptive as he had once been. Tai recognized the pain he saw in Matt's eyes and thought he would feel better if he had something to do. *I hope Matt can get his mind off this. Maybe if he has something to keep him occupied he won't have to worry so much. Or maybe it because this is one thing I don't want to do.*


"Matt, will you please call Sora's mother and let her know what happened here? We know her better than anyone and I think it will make it easier for her mom if a friend, that cares, calls instead of a cold doctor."


Matt knew the task Tai had given him was a heard one but he was willing to go through hell if it meant giving any comfort to the ailing girl on the bed. "Sure Tai." As he turned to leave he looked over his shoulder and said, "Tai, just take care of her for me please." With those words said he left the room, Tai and a sleeping Sora to go break the news to Mrs. Takenouchi.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hours Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The phone call came late in the night. Mrs. Takenouchi sat in her living room with a hand on the phone and an eye on the door. *Sora! Where are you! You are going to be in so much trouble young lady!*
Suddenly the phone in her hand let out a scream into the quiet room. Taking a deep breath to get ready to explode at the caller Mrs. Takenouchi picked up the phone. Much to her surprise however the voice that answered her hello was not that of her daughter's. It was a hoarse masculine voice that was laced with worry and anxiety. Nonetheless Mrs. Takenouchi would have known that voice, the voice of one of the most famous singers in Odaiba, the voice of one of her daughter's best friends, anywhere. "Matt? What is it? What's wrong?"


"Mrs. Takenouchi,...its Sora..." Matt struggled with his words. He understood the responsibility Tai had given him but he didn't want to be the one doing this. He didn't want to break Sora's mother's heart. "I-" Matt took a deep breath to try and smooth his ragged voice. "I think you should come to the hospital. I'll explain it to you here."


Mrs. Takenouchi did not hear the rest of Matt's words. She had dropped the phone when she had heard him say Sora. She raced to the door, locked the apartment and ran out into the bitter cold of the night to hail a taxi. Farther and farther into the road she stumbled trying to get a taxi to stop and take her to her girl. She saw a pair of headlights coming toward her and waved frantically, unaware that she was in the approaching car's path. Then....
