The battle with Lineer has ended. The humans she captured are free now and Lineer is no more. However, it appears there were some prices to pay. During the fight, Ichika took a big hit and was knocked out. As for Davis, he was able to release the power hidden inside of Dragonic Heaven, but it seems he had his own price to pay. As soon as the battle was over, Davis passed out and his I.S. was turned to dust. Now we see the aftermath of the battle.

"Shouldn't he wake up by now?"

"I'm not sure. Davis was out for about a month from that attack."

"But he was going through some family stuff. Ichika isn't." Ichika could hear the voices of all his friends. Ichika finally opened his eyes and saw all his classmates hovering over him. All of them were happy to see him awake.

"Guys? What's going on?" Ichika said as he tried to sit up. He looked around and saw he was in the infirmary.

"We were all worried about you." Cecilia said.

"Don't you remember you were knocked out by Lineer when you tried to avenge Davis?" Charlotte said. Ichika thought about it and he remembered the last few minutes before he blacked out.

"Oh yeah!" Ichika said.

"You big dummy. What were you thinking charging in like that?" Rin said.

"Rin's got a point. That was just plain careless. Don't you get what could have happened to you?" Houki said.

"Sorry. How long was I out for?" Ichika said.

"Several hours really." Laura said.

"It's true. It's already the afternoon." Kanzashi said.

"What happened?" Ichika said.

"Believe it or not, we won." Ichika looked to the side and spotted Lita and Davis' classmates.

"We won?" Ichika said.

"Yeah. I think we actually saved the world. Incredible, isn't it?" Lita said.

"The carrier was destroyed and Lineer's life has actually ended." Fria said.

"She isn't going to be a threat to anyone anymore." Kimi said.

"She's really gone?! I suppose that's good, but now Davis doesn't have a mother." Ichika said as he felt sorry for him. As he said that, he remembered what happened to Davis before Ichika passed out. "Davis! Where is he? He isn't really dead, is he?" No one really said anything and stayed quiet. That wasn't settling Ichika in the least. "Hey. Didn't any of you hear me? I asked where he is. Is he dead or not?"

"You don't need to worry about that." Ichika looked to the door and saw Chifuyu come in. "Davis is very much alive."

"He is? Then, why didn't anyone say so?" Ichika said as he took notice of all the looks on their faces, as if a tragedy has happened. "Why won't anyone tell me anything? Why won't you guys tell me where he is?" All of them were holding something back and they were all worried how Ichika would take it.

"It's like this." Chifuyu said and Ichika was all ears. When Ichika heard what Chifuyu said, he ran straight out of the infirmary and was trying to find Davis as fast as he could.

'No. It can't really be true.' Ichika thought.

"We ran a diagnosis check on the two of you when the fight was over. You're both fine, but here's the thing. Davis' connection to I.S. units has been severed. They don't respond to him anymore. We checked when he woke up and not one responds to him. That means his days as a pilot are over."

Ichika couldn't really believe it. Ichika felt like Davis was the only one who understood what he went through and now it feels like he's lost a brother. Ichika kept running and spotted Davis standing on a cliff with him in his academy uniform. Ichika hurried as fast as he could to Davis.

"Davis!" Ichika called out. Davis turned around to face him, but Ichika saw something he didn't expect.

"Ichika, you're awake!" Davis said and he was actually smiling. Davis didn't seem the least bit upset and Ichika thought he would be. "You must be tougher than I am. You woke up after hours. When I took that hit, I was out for a whole month."

"Davis, Chifuyu just told me." Ichika said. "Aren't you the least bit upset? You're no longer connected to I.S. units. You can't pilot them anymore."

"I know." Davis said as he looked at his bare arm. "I felt something strange after I beat Lineer. My body didn't felt right. For a second, I thought it was guilt, but it was actually Dragonic Heaven breaking apart. Lita saw it turned to dust. Wade believed that there was more power than even he thought and it couldn't handle it. Looks like it had an effect on my body and now I can't control I.S. units anymore."

"But aren't you mad, upset, or anything?" Ichika said as he was worried Davis wasn't handling this well.

"Maybe, but I'm more glad that this is all over." Davis said. "Funny. I should feel bad about striking down my own mother, but given what she's done, mother isn't exactly something she should be called. My disconnection to the I.S. is a small price to pay to help out the world."

"How can you be so calm about it?!" Ichika said as he lowered his head and some tears started flowing down his face. "That means you can't stay at the academy anymore." Ichika didn't want to lose a friend like this and he didn't want to lose the one person he thought understood him. Ichika dropped on all fours and continued to weep. As this was going on, Marinda hid behind a tree and could see what was going on.

'He cries because it must feel like he's lost his only friend in the world.' Marinda thought. 'It must not be easy being the only male I.S. pilot in this crazy world of ours. Hearing that there were two was extraordinary, but now it's back to just one. He also cries because he knows of the tragedies that Motomiya went through. He cries for him. You truly have a carrying friend, Davis.' Davis expected this out of the girls, but he figured why Ichika would be the one doing it instead.

"Come on, Ichika. It's not like we're not going to be friends anymore." Davis said. "Stop crying. You're a man. Men hardly show their tears."

…..

The Next Day

Since Davis could no longer operate an I.S. unit, there wasn't much of a reason for him to stay in the academy. Davis packed the last of his stuff and was getting ready to go back to his normal life. He heard the door be knocked.

"Come on in." Davis said. The door opened up and he saw it was Lita and the others. "Hey, girls. Need something before I take off."

"No. We all just wanted to see you one more time while it was just us." Serene said.

"You don't really have to go. I'm sure we can work something out with Chifuyu so you can stay." Kimi said.

"I don't think that's much of an option." Davis said. "There isn't much for me to learn here that isn't I.S. related. Besides, no way is she going to go for it."

"We know. It's just that….none of us really want to see you go." Sierra said.

"It's just as I told Ichika. It's not like we're going to stop being friends." Davis said. "You guys made a surprise visit last time. Also, I've got Kari to go out with me now. So it's a little hard to be upset."

"Don't rub it in." Kimi said.

"Things just won't be the same without you. You had a strong effect on each one of us." Fria said.

"Thanks guys." Davis said. He took notice and saw Lita wasn't saying much of anything. "Lita, you're pretty quiet."

"Yeah. I'm not good at this kind of stuff. I haven't had many people around where I had to say goodbye to and wasn't sure when I see again." Lita said.

"Speaking of which, where's your brother?" Davis asked.

"Already left, that dummy." Lita said.

"Your brother is one of kind." Davis said. "Then again, your little temper, the way you just hit people, it's hard for anyone to really stay." Lita appeared to have gotten irritated by that comment.

"You jerk!" Lita said as she was about to smack him.

'Me and my big mouth. Here it comes.' Davis thought as he braced himself, but Lita just gently placed her hand on the side of his face. Davis thought for sure she was going to smack him.

"Just don't do what my brother hasn't. You better keep in touch more often." Lita said.

"Yeah." Davis said and got his arms around all of them. "You guys are my friends. We'll keep in touch and everything." All of them hated to see Davis leave, but they knew that they'll always be connected to him.

…

Outside

Davis got all his stuff together and was heading out with the girls following him. As they all made it out, Veemon and Kari were waiting for him there.

"Ready to go?" Kari asked.

"Yeah. You didn't mind waiting around here, did you?" Davis said.

"Not at all. Veemon showed me around and this place was pretty fun." Kari said.

"Davis, we've got a big sendoff." Veemon said. Davis looked and saw the students of the I.S. Academy lined up in a path to the monorail. All of them paying their respects and saluting Davis for all that he's done. Davis was touched with what they were all doing as he, Kari, and Veemon made their way down the path.

"Aren't any of you going to tell him how you feel about him?" Lita and the others looked to the side and saw Chifuyu. "After all, there's no telling when you'll see him again….or even if."

"Nah. It doesn't matter because he's got a girlfriend now." Kimi said.

"Not that, that isn't a bad thing. I don't think any of us want to stand in the way of him being happy." Sierra said.

"Of course, that doesn't mean we're going to give up." Serene said. "You only lose in love when you decide to give up."

"Besides, he is technically by bride." Fria said.

"No he's not!" All of them shouted.

"I also believe in my heart that someday we will see him again." Lita said. As Davis neared the monorail, he noticed Ichika and the others there were waiting for him.

"So you're really leaving." Ichika said.

"Yeah. Thanks for everything." Davis said.

"It was actually great having you around." Rin said.

"Don't be a stranger. You can come back anytime." Houki said.

"It was a pleasure getting to know you, Davis. We do hope you come back real soon." Charlotte said.

"I'll even make some of my delicious sandwiches, even though some don't seem to like it." Cecilia said as she glared at the others and they all got nervous.

"Still, we'll miss having you around." Kanzashi said.

"Yeah. You must be jealous. Now Ichika's the only one I'll get to play with." Tatenashi said.

"Oh please be quiet. You're going to ruin the moment." Laura said. "Davis, you will come back one day, won't you?"

"I don't know about full time, but I will for a visit whenever I get the chance." Davis said. He looked around and noticed that someone was missing.

"Where's my sister? My actual twin sister." Davis said.

"I ran into her earlier and she already left." Ichika said. "She claims she's not really good at saying goodbye."

"Huh. I thought she was going to stay here or come back with me, but I guess she can do whatever she wants." Davis said.

"By the way. I hope you don't mind, but there are a couple people I asked to come." Ichika said as he looked towards the monorail and Davis saw his adoptive parents there waiting for him. Despite how he felt lied to from them, Davis found it in his heart to forgive them and nearly had tears roll down his face as he was happy to see them again. As far as he was concerned now, they were his real parents. "I thought you said men don't cry."

"Shut up." Davis said as he cleaned his face. Both of them looked at each and were glad they got to know each other. As Davis prepares to take off from the academy, the boys raised their hands and slapped the other to know they'll always be friends.

…

Summer Vacation (AN: Picture it the same as the Kill la Kill's final ending.)

Lineer is gone and everyone moves on with their lives. Davis kept his promise with keeping in touch with his I.S. friends. During the summer vacation, he's decided to meet up with them. He waited for them to show up and Lita, Serene, Fria, Sierra, and Kimi showed up with each one trying to get to him first. They made their way uphill and when they made it to the top, they found Ichika and the others there and were waiting for them, each one happy to see the other. They spent most of the day together with eating, shopping, and anything else they could do. As they were walking down the streets, Davis hanged back as he felt something. He looked up to a building and spotted Marinda looking down at him. It wasn't the same where she felt superior to him though. No words needed to be said because they were a reunited brother and sister and would be there if the other needed it. With the message cleared, they both smiled and turned away from the other to face whatever the world has for them from now on.
