Could The Digiworld Be Another Name For Hell

The Final Chapter (4)

A/N~ OK folks here is the last segment, I do hope that you have enjoyed this. I don't own Digimon or anything like that, I simply write these for fun...:)

Where we last off the kids had just been attacked by four of Pagnomon's evil digimon, the kids were able to emerge victorious. They decided to stay where they were to regain and maintain their strength for further attacks that they were sure would come.

Pagnomon sat back in his castle, his minion quickly scurried in, "Master! Master! They failed!" The minion said apologetically.

"Yes of course they did." Pagnomon said.

"But...But Master, I don't understand?" The minion said confused.

"No, you wouldn't. But no matter, send out four more digimon and have them attack the Digidestined brats at once!" Pagnomon boomed.

"Yes Master," the minion bowed and was gone.

Back at the camp...

Tai was sitting off to the side of the other kids, he was still angry about having to stay, he knew deep down in his heart that this was a fatal mistake. But he had been out voted and he had no choice but to go along with the majority. He was so busy sulking that he didn't notice that someone had sat down beside him and was watching him.

"Are you going to stay like this all day?" The soft voice asked.

Tai looked up to see Sora smiling softly at him. He tried not to smile in return, but just the sight of her lightened his spirits.

"No, I guess not. I just have a real bad feeling about this Sora, that's all." Tai said looking into her eyes, her beautiful hazel eyes that could probably soften the harshest beast.

Sora's smile widened as she looked at Tai, he always had their best interests at heart, which was part of the reason why she loved him. "It'll be ok Tai, as long as we are all together we will be fine."

"Yeah I guess," Tai started, "but..." He was never able to finish that thought because he saw four digimon coming their way and they looked like bad news.

All of the other kids had seen this too and had gathered together with their digimon and stood strong against the new attack.

The evil digimon began attacking by firing everything they had directly at the kids, but the digimon quickly digivolved and blocked the attack and engaged the evil digimon into a battle that lasted only moments before the evil digimon were defeated. The battle actually happened so quickly that they kids didn't even have a chance to identify the evil foes.

"I just don't get it." Tai said, "two attacks almost right in a row and each time we have defeated Pagnomon's goons."

"I think I would like to amend my last suggestion," Izzy said. "I think Pagnomon may be try to weaken us and I think it is working. I don't think our digimon could take another battle. We need to get out of here and fast."

"OK, lets get our things and get out of here." Tai said.

This time the kids didn't bother to argue, they quickly began to pack up their few belongings.

Pagnomon's minion tiptoed this time into his Master's chambers, fearful of the consequences of failing again. "Ma..Master?" he said trembling.

"Yes you fool I know, this is perfect." He said laughing. "Gather my strongest digimon, I will join them this time."

The kids had just finished taking down their camp and were ready to go when they heard a loud boom from the sky above them. "What the!" they all yelled as they saw five digimon this time coming towards them.

"I don't believe this!" Matt yelled.

"What do we do?" Maki said looking at Tai.

"The only thing we can do, stand and fight!" Tai said.

"But we can't," Agumon said, "we haven't the strength, Tai, I'm sorry. Two battles in one day was too much for us."

Tai looked at Agumon and then at the other kids, "RUN!!!" He screamed to them as they took off running into the woods.

Pagnomon just laughed at their feeble attempt and motioned to his digimon to surround them.

"T.K.! Stay with me!" Matt yelled as they ran. T.K. quickly grabbed hold of Matt's hand, but they were stopped when a large digimon blocked their escape, they turned back to see all routes had been blocked and the kids were trapped in the middle.

The kids and their digimon stood frozen and trapped while Pagnomon walked towards them. They tried desperately to look for some kind of escape but the evil digimon had closed in so tightly that there was no where to run.

"What do you want?" Tai yelled

Pagnomon laughed heartily, "Why to see all of you dead of course. Then there will be nothing to stand in my way of ruling both worlds. With you brats gone, no one will dare defy me!"

"It's not gonna happen you big bully!" Mimi yelled

"Don't get the big ugly guy mad Mimi," Joe whispered.

Pagnomon laughed, "silly children...Now which one of you should I kill first?" He said as he started pointing his finger from one kid to the next. "Hmmm. Let's see, what is that game that you kids play? Ahhh yes! Inny, meanny, miny, moe!" He laugh again while the kids stood there is terror. "Out goes y... o...u..." he said pointing to Mimi as he fired a black light from his hand.

"Nnnnoooo!!!" Izzy cried as he jumped in front of the light getting hit in the arm.

"Ahh come on!" Pagnomon said between laughs, "you taking all the fun out of my little game!"

Izzy laid on top of Mimi, moaning terribly from the pain. The wound took out a chunk of flesh and he was bleeding badly. Mimi helped him to sit up as she sobbed. "Oh, Izzy. Oh God Izzy!" she cried. He tried to force a small smile but the pain was just too much for him and then he passed out.

"You big ugly meany! I hate you and you clash too!" Mimi screamed through her tears.

"Flattery will get you no where my pretty flower." He said.

"Agumon, you have to do something!?" Tai said pleadingly to his small friend.

"We'll do our best." Agumon replied. "Come on guys let's give it everything we have!"

The small digimon charged directly at Pagnomon who brushed them off without effort. "It will take much more then that to destroy me you pathetic creatures!"

Maki stood and watched, she might be their last hope. She could feel the energy rising up into her hands as she stepped forward.

"What are you doing?" Matt asked.

She turned back around to him briefly, "Do you trust me?"

"Yes." He said solemnly as he knew what she was about to do.

The others just watched as Maki walked forward.

"Hey Pagnomon! What about me?" Maki yelled.

Pagnomon quickly looked at the young girl that stood before him. "Oh Maki," he hissed sending shiver up her spine, "I haven't forgotten about you."

"Good!" She said as she forced the energy from her hands and sent it directly into Pagnomon's chest.

"Agh!" He screamed as he was sent back a few feet. He then regained himself and stood straight again. "Very good my dear but not good enough. You know I was hoping that you would have just killed yourself and saved me the trouble, but now I see that you are weak and easy prey."

"Oh yeah?" She yelled sending another beam of energy into him.

Pagnomon staggered for a moment and once again regained himself, "Now you are just getting irritating." He then smiled as an idea came over him; he looked over to where Matt was standing. "I know what will hurt you more then death my pretty," he said as he looked back to Maki and smiled.

Maki heart sank; she knew then that Pagnomon was targeting Matt, because of her. Because Matt was the one the she had the most feelings for, he had read her mind, her thoughts. She couldn't let Matt die because of her.

The next few moments played out in slow motion as Pagnomon turned back to Matt who stood terrified like an animal caught in headlights, he clenched his fists waiting for the inevitable. Maki wasted no time and ran over in front of Matt just as Pagnomon released the black energy from his hand. Maki caught the energy right in her stomach knocking the breathe right out of her body as she fell to her knees. The others just watched in horror as the events unfolded.

Normal time...

Matt opened his eyes to see Maki on her knees in front of him holding her stomach as she began to fall forwards. He rushed over to catch her in his arms. A white brilliant light enveloped her and floated out into eight beams that hit their digimon giving them back their strength and allowing them to warp digivolve into their ultimate forms. The digimon quickly began to attack Pagnomon and his digimon and a fierce battle ensued.

Joe who had been tending to Izzy ran over to Matt who was holding Maki, he looked grimly at her would and sadly shook his head to Matt. The others gathered around Matt and watched on in silence.

"Maki, why?" Matt cried

" Be...Because" she said weakly and tried to smile up at him.

"Maki you can't die." He sobbed

The others stood there sadly watching on as their new friend was dying and the battle that was so close to them. Tai kept watch on the battle, which was going very well in their favor. All of the bad digimon had been defeated except for Pagnomon.

Pagnomon was fighting with everything he had, but it wasn't enough. He hadn't expected that the digimon would be able to fight because they still should have been weak, but thanks to Maki sending out her energy to the digimon they were now stronger then ever. All of the digimon combined their attacks into one attack and fired it at Pagnomon, he had time enough to see it coming and then his world went black.

The digimon exhausted from their battle de-digivolved back to their smaller forms and went back to their human friends who were still standing around Maki and Matt. Matt didn't look up once but continued to look down at Maki crying.

Maki smiled slightly, "Thank you Matt," she said softly.

"For what?" he asked

"For being my friend... I lo..love you." She said softly

Matt looked at her with surprise, his heart felt happy and broken all at the same time. He began to cry even harder. "Maki I love you too." He said leaning down to kiss her. The kiss was soft and tender lasting for just a moment when he felt her go limp in his arms. He lifted his head and saw her eyes closed and her chest was not moving. Matt continued to cry as her pulled her into him holding her tightly in his arms. The other kids cried as well feeling the loss each in their own way. The digimon also felt the loss.

They stood there for a while until a white light appeared with Genni. "Hello kids, I am sorry about Maki," he said solemnly. They just looked at him and nodded sadly. "It is time for you all to go home now." He said to them.

They looked up at him confused. "Home?" they all said.

"Yes, home." He said creating a portal for them. "The evil is gone, for now and it is time for all of you to go home."

The kids were all happy about this, it had been so long since they had been home and they all missed their families.

"What about Maki?" Matt asked cutting through the happy chatter.

Genni frowned, " I will take care of it Matt."

Matt looked back down to Maki for a moment then kissed her forehead which was now cool to the touch. He lay her down carefully on the ground and went over to T.K. and took his hand. "OK, we're ready." Matt said sadly looking back to Maki.

The kids one by one went through the portal, waving goodbye to Genni as they left. Matt one last look back to Maki and then he too disappeared with his friends.

The End.....
