Part 13:

Kari's Digivice shook from left to right, then turned a pink color. It shot a beam of light from its screen up to her Crest of Light. The symbol of the crest was pushed up by the beam of light, continuing it ascent. The symbol twisted and turned, shattered through a smoke filled sky. The symbol gathered bits of energy and exploded, sending a twisting spiral down, nailing a twisting Gatomon.


"Gatomon digivolve to...."

Gatomon's body turned to white and shot upward. Her body became more human, she lost her tail, and grew long hair. She lost her left glove and a ribbon twisted around her arm. She lost her right glove and a arm length glove flew on her arm, angel wings appearing. A boot shot on her left foot, while on the right side, a suit of fabric appeared, following her new human curves up her whole body to her head, where a metal helmet shot over her eyes.

".....Angewomon!"

"Mangna Angemon!"

"Megakabuterimon!"

"Lillymon!"

"Megaseadramon!"

"Silphymon!"

"Veemon digivolve to Exveemon!"

"Wormmon digivolve to Stingmon!"

Ken and Davis's Digivice blinked and changed to the same color, then each shot a beam of light out that hit in the center, shooting a glowing circle out. Exveemon spun out from the center,"Exveemon..." He then continued his twirl until he had disappeared on the other side of the center.

Stingmon spun out from the right,"Stingmon...." He then continued his twirl until he had disappeared on the other side of the center.

The two Digimon shot out from the center and traveled up, their bodies glowing, and each one had a glowing tail attached. "....DNA Digivolve to...." They twisted around each other until they entered a glowing circle. They emerged on the other side as a single being. A dragon man Digimon whose wings fluttered open. He spun around, his eyes forming. On his hand, a set of claws shot out, from each finger and his wrist. Two guns shot out from his side, blasting the desert in front of him. "...Paildramon!"

A blue dragon made of energy shot from the left sky and twisted around Paildramon like a spiral. "Paildramon Mega Digivole to..." The spiral shot upward, Paildramon's body turned to white light as he followed the spiral up. A new Digimon appeared, much larger than before. He had two sets of massive red wings, and a set of black armor. He walked on four legs, and his body was blue. He hovered in the air, and with a flap of his wings, blasted away a castle underneath him. ".....Imperial Dramon!"


"Agumon warp digivolve to...."

Agumon was hit with a beam from Sora's Digivice. He spun in the air, then was surrounded by an orange light. He quickly digivolved to Greymon, then Metalgreymon, then changed to a dinosaur man wearing armor. Metal shin guards appeared around his legs, gauntlets formed down his arm. A shield with the symbol of courage appeared on his back, then spilt down the middle. The new Digimon swung his arm around, displaying his arm weapons. He placed his foot on the ground and it exploded with orange electricity. He brought his arms together, then brought them apart, flashing a bright light.

".....Wargreymon!"


Apocalymon watched in awe as he saw splinters of light pull together into sixteen forms in from of him. "We're back!" Sora said.

"What?" Apocalymon asked,"How did you digivolve without your crests? Well, no matter, you are going down, Digital Warriors."

"Wrong," Sora said, as she and everyone else clenched their firsts,"We are the Digidestined!"

Michael flew forward, clutching onto Megaseadramon's horn. He was followed by Mimi, who was being carried by Lillymon. Next came the two angel Digimon, their human partners riding on top of them. Izzy and Yolei came next, each riding on top of their Digimon. Ken was next, standing on top of Imperial Dramon with his arms crossed, a grim look over his face. Last was Sora. She was clutching onto the top of Wargreymon's shield with all her might. She knew this was her last battle, and she was going to go out with a bang.

Apocalymon growled at the on coming Digidestined. "You're doomed!"


Behind Apocalymon was the light from the Digimon Key Cards. It was just there, no beginning and no end. It symbolized the stream of time. Out from the cylinder of light, came two beings. One was a young man who wore a white lab coat and had a white sea lion riding on his shoulder. The other was what looked like a young woman. She had no hair, or, if she did, it wasn't visible. The entire top portion of her head was covered by a metal mask that ended at her nose, allowing only her eyes to be seen. Her left hand was a gapping cannon. She wore a tight tank top that allowed her wings to spread out. She also had a tight black skirt that had a tail emerging from it. She was using her wings to fly in this void, the man was holding on to her right hand.

"You were right, Kido!" the woman said,"We didn't get destroyed along with the rest of the world."

"It wasn't destroyed, Jundramon," Kido said,"It just....ceased to be. Its hard to explain, but, trust me, from here, we can enter any time that we want. We'll be safe."

Jundramon rolled her nose up at him. "Just because we've agreed to escape together, doesn't mean we're partners. As soon as we get to this other world you keep raving about, we're enemies, got it?"

Kido gulped. "R-right."

"So," Jundramon said,"How do we get to the other world?"

"Well," Kido said,"I presume that when the world we knew ceased to be, it returned to the world as it was meant to be."

"So," Jundramon said, turning back to the stream of light,"We just need to go back through here, and we'll reach the other world?"

Kido nodded. "Correct."



Apocalymon growled as he watched the Digidestined soar towards him. Every one of them was gaining group, but, Michael and Megaseadramon were first. He blasted one of his claws towards him.

"Thunder Javelin!" Megaseadramon shouted. His electrical attack blasted the claw, ripping it to shreds.

"Way to go!" Michael cheered.

To the right of them were Mimi and Lillymon. The flower Digimon was flying with Mimi holding onto her arm. "We can help out too, right Lillymon?" Mimi asked. Her Digimon smiled. "What?" Mimi asked.

Lillymon turned around and grab hold of Mimi's arm with both her hands. She swung her around into the air, Mimi screaming out the whole way. Lillymon turned around and placed both her hands together. "Flower Cannon!"

Her attack blasted one of Apocalymon's claws, destroying it in an array of light and smoke. She then flew and caught Mimi by the wrist. "Next time, Lillymon, can you use someone else as a boomerang?"

"Sorry," her Digimon grinned,"But I wanted to make sure you'd come back to me."

They continued to fly forward, unaware that one of the claws were coming to claim them. They were saved at the last minute by Megaseadramon's Thunder Javelin. The two Digidestined stopped and hovered in the void.

"Sora!" Michael shouted,"Now's your chance to go for his body!"

"Right!" Sora said, clutching onto Wargreymon's shield,"Ah!"

Unbeknownst to Michael, Mimi, or their Digimon, one of Apocalymon's claws were heading towards their backs.

"Watch out!" Yolei shouted.

"Gate of Destiny!"

"Celestial Arrow!"

Michael and Mimi covered their eyes as the claw was destroyed. "Don't worry," T.K .said from Magna Angemon's back,"We're here to protect you."

Kari peek around from Angewomon's shoulder,"We'll go after the other claws too!"

"Thanks Kari," Mimi said.

"We owe you one," Michael said.

Sora and Ken were flying as fast as they could towards Apocalymon himself. Sora turned to him. "Ken," she said,"This is way better than the final battle I had in my mind for us!"

"You said it!" Ken cried, remaining in his position on Imperial Dramon's back.

As they soared towards Apoaclymon, one of his numerous claws came towards them, but, it was destroyed by Lillymon's Flower Cannon.

"Hey," Yolei said, as she and Silphymon flew between Sora and Ken,"Why should you guys have all the fun? Leave some for me and Izzy."

Izzy flew in on Megakabuterimon. "We'll concentrate on distracting Apocalymon, while Sora and Ken attack."

"Watch out backs!" Ken shouted.

"Let's end this!" Apocalymon said with a tone of glee,"Virus Grenade!"

Wargreymon, Imperial Dramon, Silphymon and Megakabuterimon dodged the flying storm of glowing shrapnel. "Megakabuterimon, "Silphymon said,"Protect Yolei."

"Right."

Silphymon's body was covered in an aura of white light. He zoomed towards Apocalymon, then turned up, the aura still heading towards their enemy. "Astral Laser!" His attack destroyed all the grenades, and nearly took off Apocalymon's arm.

Apocalymon growled. One of his claws turned into an image of Piedmon. "Trump Sword!"

"My turn," Megakabuterimon said,"Horn Buster!" Another claw was destroyed.

"Attack!" Sora shouted.

"Now!" Ken commanded.

Imperial Dramon dove in for the kill. "Positron Laser!"

Wargreymon put his hands parallel from each other and pulled them back, a ball of orange light appearing in the middle. "Terra Force!"

Imperial Dramon's attack hit first, blasting Apocalymon's small torso. He screamed in agony, but, it was tripled when Wargreymon's glowing ball smashed on top of him. There was a giant explosion, Apocalymon's torso disappearing as he screamed. His cube body folded back in on itself.

"We did it!" Izzy cheered..

"We destroyed all of his claws!" Michael cried.

"Still think you're so tough?" Sora asked.

Apocalymon's body started to fold in on himself and turn back into a cube. Black energy in the shape of black ghosts emerged from his body. "Is that the best you've got?"

"You know you're beaten!" Ken said,"Face it like a mon!"

"You think so huh? Well, I might be beaten," Apocalymon said,"but I won't go down that easily. I'll take you and all realities with me!"

"What?" Sora asked.

"You still haven't seen my ultimate attack! Total Annihilation!" His cube body grew smaller, and smaller, until it exploded in a blast of bright light.

"He's gonna destroy everything!" Ken said.

"I should have made out my will," Michael said.

"I'm too good looking to go!" Mimi protested.

"I want my mother!" T.K. cried.

"There must be a solution," Izzy rationalized.

"We won't give up!" Ken said.

"We're stronger than he is!" Sora agreed.

"We're a team!" Michael said.

"Its destiny!" Yolei said.

"After all..." Kari said.

"We're the Digidestined!" everyone cried.

Suddenly, their Digivices flew from their resting places on their belts and headed towards the growing ball of light. They arranged themselves in two squares on both sides, on in each corner of each square. Kari's pink Digivice shot out a bolt of light. Then T.K.'s yellow one. Next came Izzy's purple one, then Mimi's green one, Michael's black one, Yolei's red one, Ken's blue one, and last was Sora's orange one. The lattice of energy connected around the ball, preventing it from growing any larger. It exploded, but, the force never reached outside the energy cube.

"What happened?" Imperial Dramon asked.

"I'm not sure," Wargreymon said.

"What happened to the explosion?" T.K. asked.

Izzy said," It was completely contained, by the power of our Digivices!"

"Then, we've won?" Mimi asked.

"Yes," Sora Kamiya said, smiling proudly, "We won!"

The Digidestined cheered loudly. "Yes!" Yolei shouted,"We did it! We saved all real-wait, what do we do know?"

"What do you mean?" Izzy asked.

"Our world was destroyed," she said, sadly,"Where do we go now?"

"Well, "Sora said, looking around,"The only place to go, is back into the stream of light."

"But, what happens when we do?" Michael asked,"Do we, cease to exist? Or, will we die?"

"My best guess would be that we would conform to the other reality," Izzy said,"We would become what we were suppose to be."

"Well, "Sora Kamiya sighed,"There's no use in staying here any longer. Come on."

The Digidestined flew towards the glowing light, each of them feeling a growing uneasiness. They knew that when they conformed to the other reality, their memories and characters would change. They wouldn't remember anything about each other, about the battles they fought against Tai in the Age of Darkness, they wouldn't remember the battle against Apocalymon that saved all realities, and, they knew, that no one knew what they did. They were heroes, and no one knew but them.

"But that doesn't matter," Sora said, "A wise person once told me that you have to give of yourself, to do the right thing. That to be a hero, a true hero, you have to sacrifice what you want, for what you must do. That is the legacy of Tai Kamiya. That is the memory I choose to cherish, not the memory of the man that turned our world into the Age of Darkness, but the boy that I fell in love with. Given different choices, I would have done things differently, but, I would never have stop believing in that. I would never have stopped fighting for what Tai believed in."

As they entered the light, Sora smiled," Thank you, Tai Kamiya, for changing my life."



the camp.....

Tai looked up and the sky and waited. He turned to Izzy, who was staring down at his laptop. "Izzy," he said,"Its not that I'm anxious for the end of the world, but, where is this, 'Annihilation Wave?"

"Its incredible!" Izzy said, a smiled crossing his lips,"The wave, its completely gone! Its vanished! And..and everything that was destroyed by it, has been restored! We're safe!"

Everyone cheered, jumping into the air. Mimi hugged Michael, and kissed him hard on the lips. Willis slapped his hand down on Izzy's shoulder. Matt and T.K gave each other a high five. Tai smiled to himself, wishing that he had someone to celebrate with.

"Tai!"

Tai spun around and saw Sora running up to him across the summer field. Tai smiled slightly to himself as he watched her trip several times with her heels in the rough dirt, but, eventually she made it to him. "S-Sora," he said,"what are you doing here?"

"Tai," she said, throwing her arms around his neck,"M-Mimi told me that you were going to kill yourself and.."

"What?" he asked,"Sora, I'm not...."

Sora started crying. "A-and I was afraid it was my fault. Tai, I'm sorry for what happened earlier tonight. Tai, I love you, and I always will."

"I love you too, Sora, and I'm sorry."

Tai brought his head down so Sora could reach his lips. They two lovers embraced each other for what seemed like an eternity. Tai then heard a voice, a voice that sounded exactly like Sora's, but, only inside his head. "Tai, love Sora. Love her with all your heart. Trust me, she'll love you back."

Tai didn't know where the voice came from, nor did he care. He broke away from Sora's kiss for a second to grin. "I will," he told the voice as he continued to kiss the woman of his dreams,"I will."
