Timeframe: After "Bokura no Digitaru World." Epilogue doesn't occur and never will. Alternate Universe (But aren't most fanfictions that?)
Six teens stood at the edge of a battlefield. The plane was dark, reminiscent of space. Their enemy stood, well, floated, in front of them, a three-dimensional polygon shape thingy that could never actually be named. The actual shape was black, but out of the edges of the pentagons that was the flat area, golden spikes protruded, except for the very top, where a muscular torso, head, and arms of a humanoid black creature was, veins and tubes crossing down into a golden cylinder that lead to the body below.
"We've defeated you before and we will defeat you again!" A golden-haired boy shouted across the distant space, countenance like a fierce archangel ready to strike, though a seraph otherwise. His eyes glared defiantly, blue eyes riveted on creature of darkness before him. Where a white hat used to be, golden hair reigned free as a green t-shirt stretched across his muscular frame, long cerulean pants covering his legs. A flying mammal floated along side him, winged ears flapping to carry the weight. Orange fur covered the top, white, the bottom, as similarly blue eyes stared at their foe. "You will not succeed!"
"He's right." Another girl stood at his side, brown hair falling to her shoulders and a face of an angel. Cinnamon brown eyes held the same light as the boy before her, a dark-pink shirt covering her lithe frame. Fingerless gloves covered her hand, yellow pants flowing down her legs. A pink hair clip was in her hair, shining in what little light the area allowed. A cat was stanced to her left, claws unsheathed and teeth bared. A golden ring graced the feline's tail. "Your darkness will not be allowed to rule."
"Two wars have already been won in three years. Must you create a third one before you realize the futility?" A third boy stood, to the two's left. His blue hair curled at the shin and violet eyes stared darkly at the being before him. A dark violet, almost black, t-shirt covered his upper boy, white wrist bands at the wrists. Black denim fell down to his ankles as his posture was firm. To his side, a green caterpillar without fuzz waited, loyal to his partner. "We are at peace at it will stay that way."
"The world may not enjoy the Digital World, but humans aren't ready for the responsibility." A girl with violet hair, the oldest of all of them, raised her head. Her features were beautiful and her long hair flowed in the wind. Delicate glasses were placed on her eyes, giving them a mature look. A blue shirt covered by a green vest covered her body, crimson pants encasing slender legs. Her partner flapped his wings beside her, one of the few digimon duos that didn't share gender. This one, a hawk, with a feather headband. An intelligent air was about him, though now all of that was channeled into fury. "Even still, it is our job to protect both worlds."
"You will not be allowed to rule. Not after the hell Demon, Archnemon, Vamdemon, and the Dark Masters have put our worlds through." A boy, the youngest, glared with dark green eyes at the creature in front of them. He was short, but was growing rapidly, the bowl cut being removed for another hairstyle, this one involving a ponytail. A purple sweater covered his torso along with blue jeans. A silver earring flashed in his ear. At his side, a being reminiscent of an armadillo was, except yellow. This creature twitched, ready to start thrashing. "We will defeat you!"
"You aren't wanted!" Their leader stood a little in front of them, burgundy hair stretching out in wild spikes. Dark brown eyes contained a fierce fire within, a barely constrained fury. Light glinted off the goggles he still wore, for he knew that he could never match what Taichi had been, but he was trying. A dark blue blazer covered his body and by extension his orange shirt, blue jeans cupping his legs. His pose was of a tiger, ready to strike. A small blue humanoid dragon stood at his side, eyes just as fierce. "Leave!"
"Dear Chosen Children, I'm much more powerful than when we last fought." This creature spoke, his tone mocking. "You should have remembered my powers, Children of Hope and Light."
At this, the golden-haired boy's and the brown-haired girl's eyes widened. "You didn't!" They spoke.
Their comrades turned to them. "What?"
"He absorbed the data of all the dark digimon we've defeated." The blonde spoke.
"Every. Single. One." The brunette finished.
"This is gonna be tough." The leader spoke, his tone soft.
"We can't lose though. We can't." The youngest there reminded.
As one, all six turned to their enemy.
"Let's do this!" They spoke as one, each holding out devices. They all had white on them, though their colors varied. The leader had blue, the violet-haired girl, red, the youngest, yellow, the golden-haired boy, green, the cinnamon-eyed girl, pink, and the last, black.
In a flash of light, each of the creatures beside them was encased in light, except the feline.
"V-mon shinka!" The small dragon became a large, muscled humanoid dragon with a V emblazoned on his chest and large white wings coming out of his back. "XV-mon!"
"Hawkmon shinka!" The violet girl's partner became a very large bird, just as red, with a ram's horns on his forehead. "Aquilamon!"
"Armadimon shinka!" The armadillo-like creature turned into a large dinosaur one, filled with spikes on the back and a mace for a tail, resembling an ankylosaurus. "Ankylomon!"
"Patamon shinka!" The batpig changed, amazingly, into a white angel of six wings with long hair flowing down his back and a curved cross helmet covering the upper part of his face. A golden staff appeared in his right hand. "Angemon!"
"Wormmon shinka!" The final creature, the caterpillar, turned into a large humanoid fly, equipped in black. He had large bug wings sticking out of his back. "Stingmon!"
"We need to go farther!" The golden-haired boy shouted, a yellow rising sun appearing over his chest. "Hope!"
"Higher!" The shortest boy called, two purple circles, one larger than the other, connected by a line and a black cross appearing on his. "Knowledge! Faith!"
"For the good of the Digital World!" The violet-eyed boy yelled, a magenta flower appearing on his heart. "Kindness!"
"For the good of the Human World!" The elder girl cried, a red heart and green teardrop shining on his chest. "Love! Purity!"
"For the Light!" The other girl added, no less loud. A pink star started shining as with the others. "Light!"
"Evolve!" Their leader finished, his voice joining the chorus. An orange sun and blue yin-yang symbol melding over his heart. "Courage! Friendship!"
This time, instead of white light, a rainbow encompassed all, including the cat.
"XV-mon chou shinka!" The dragon turned another one, this time with some green coloring, and two large gun turrets appearing on his waist. "Pail Dramon!"
"Aquilamon chou shinka!" The large bird became humanoid, a visor appearing over his eyes. Red feathers appeared to spike out from feline hands and the creature had an overall space look. "Silphymon!"
"Ankylomon chou shinka!" The dinosaur changed totally, become a machine creature with a teapot heat and two small metal wings. It did, however, tower over all the rest by far. "Shakkoumon!"
"Angemon chou shinka!" This angel gained another pair of wings, with a tall purple bishop hat with similar armor and a glowing purple blade appearing out of his right hand. "Holy Angemon!"
"Tailmon chou shinka!" The feline turned into a female version of the aforementioned angel, minus the armor and adding a pink ribbon. A peculiar white glow appeared in place of the other's blade. "Angewomon!"
"Stingmon chou shinka!" This bug became a sort of copy of what the first became, except a bug instead of dragon and where that was blue, there was green and vice versa. "Dino Beemon!"
"Six perfects?" At this, the creature laughed. "I defeated six perfects and two ultimates when I was weaker. Do you think you can beat me?"
"We're stronger!" Holy Angemon's oddly echoing voice responded. "Ready yourself Apocalymon!"
Without much delay all six charged.
Out of every open face, claws sprouted. Apocalymon sent all of them toward the six charging.
"Desperado Blaster!" Pail Dramon wasted no time bringing out his attack, blue bullets flying from his turrets. The claws evaded the attack however and continued to charge them.
Silphymon curled his hands, bringing them in a circle in front of him before drawing them back and releasing a blast of red energy. "Dual Sonic!" The attack merely reflected off the claw, which soon seemed to change.
"I believe you'll remember this. Ultimate Stream!" The trademark of the Dark Master Metal Seadramon's attack fired out at them, a stream of blue water energy. It was met with Angewomon, who put her hands in front of her then opened them to the side, pink energy creating a cross.
"Heaven's Charm!"
The energies collided, canceling each other out, as Dino Beemon copied Pail Dramon's attack, only firing red bullets. "Hell Masquerade!" But the attack didn't even give a scratch.
"Virus Strike!" All of the claws opened up and started spewing out some sort of small bug, millions upon millions of them.
Shakkoumon opened the symbol at the lower part of his torso and started absorbing them. Holy Angemon also came, drawing a circle with his sword. "Holy Gate!" A golden gate opened and started to suck up the rampant bugs.
"Holy Arrow!" Angewomon just showed how well an archer she was as she released a glowing arrow into the core of a claw, destroying it instantly.
Apocalymon's eyes narrowed. "Death Claw."
One claw glew with black energy before charging forward. Before anyone knew what happened, Holy Angemon was suddenly pierced by that claw, the attack going straight through him. His partner did not leave unscathed. The claw at also traveled through the blonde-haired teen, forcing a cry of extremely pain from his lips. As blood steadily dripped, the claw retracted itself, wrenching another cry of pain from the victim. As he laid back, pain clouding his eyes, his friends gathered around him.
"Remember, for all of us, don't lose hope." With that, he faded into data, along with his partner. Before they could dissipate, a black light drew them toward Apocalymon, encasing them in a golden orb which soon disappeared.
"What did you do?" Their leader yelled, tears, falling from his eyes.
"Simply prevented them from being reformatted. I made that mistake last time: I will not again." A small explosion sounded through the area. "I put them in the trash."
"Monster!" Angewomon flew into the battle, rage fueling her movements. "Angewomon mega shinka!" Flames enveloped the angel, changing her from an avenging angel, to a fierce dragon. "Holy Dramon!" The pink dragon turned in a circle, summoning her powers. "Holy Flame!" A fiery tempest of red-white flames held awash by pure force launched itself for Holy Dramon's foe. Two claws were decimated by the attack, but Apocalymon didn't seem worried.
"Hope's powers are Light's powers when Hope passes on but never dies." The brown-haired girl walked forward as Holy Dramon prepared another attack.
"Child of Light, I believe that this will be a fitting end for you." At that point, one of the claws revealed itself as a jester and ten swords were released. "Trump Sword." Even as Holy Dramon was struck by the deadly attack, the brown-haired girl to her friends, a soft smile on her face. "Sorry guys, looks like I can't go on with you. Keep the light in your hearts." She kept on smiling, even as one of the swords pierced her heart. She even smiled as her data was being collected by Apocalymon in a pink orb. The others could still feel her smile even as an explosion sounded her eternal rest.
"Damn you Apocalymon!" The only girl left shouted. "Silphymon! Full charge! For Light!"
"Shakkoumon! Aid him!" The shortest boy yelled, tears welling up in his green eyes. "For Hope!"
"Top Gun!"
"Kachina Bomb!"
A glowing energy version of Silphymon was launched at Apocalymon, followed by several spiked discs. Both found their way into a claw, which exploded. Even with only six claws left, the dark creature didn't seem worried or even scared.
"Gaia Destroyer."
The dark orb of energy blew into both Silphymon and Shakkoumon, utterly deleting them. Both their partners fell to their knees, even as the dark energy orb grew closer.
"Sorry, it's up to you again." The girl smiled softly. "Feel everyone's love and stay pure."
"I have faith in you both and you have the knowledge to make it through. I'm sorry it's over for us too." The boy spoke softly. Both were obliterated instantly as the attack hit them, shards being drawn into red-green and purple-black orbs. Two mini-explosions resounded as they disappeared completely.
Slowly the leader turned his head to his only comrade left. "For Purity and Love."
"For Knowledge and Faith." The blue-haired boy agreed.
"Pail Dramon..." The dragon creature started glowing a myriad of colors: orange, blue, red, green, and pink to be exact.
"Dino Beemon..." The insect creature also started glowing a rainbow of colors: magenta, yellow, black, and purple.
"Jogress shinka!" The two crashed into each other, a ring of symbols appearing around them.
"Imperial Dramon!" A very large dragon appeared, with a mounted cannon on his back. That soon changed as he too glew a bright light. "Imperial Dramon mode change!" The dragon became a humanoid version of itself, the cannon relocating to the right arm. "Imperial Dramon Fighter Mode! Imperial Dramon Fighter Mode mode change!" The dragon man gained pure white armor as his wings spread out to the sides of him, giving him a majestic look. A blade appeared in his hands, called the Omega Blade. "Imperial Dramon Paladin Mode!"
Apocalymon backed up, but only a little. Two claws shot out, but two swipes of the blade destroyed them. The blade itself also deflected the blue beam of Ultimate Stream. But there was one attack that not even one of the strongest creatures ever could defend against.
"Algol's Flame." The dark flames spewed from the remaining claws, engulfing and ultimately destroying the holy warrior. The two remaining humans looked to each other, even as the fiery inferno of death raced toward them.
"I guess this is the end, huh?" The blue-haired boy leaned back. "I didn't think death would come like this."
"Neither did I. It's almost peaceful." The leader looked, up tears welling in his eyes. "I'm sorry Taichi, I guess we failed." Those were his last words as the fire reached them, reducing them to free-floating data which were collected in orbs of orange-blue and magenta. Two explosions sounded their final rest.
Even as Apocalymon's dark laughter echoed through all the worlds, six more stood, ready to take up the mantle again.
We will not fail. They echoed.
At this point, six people in six very different places woke up with screams.
