Snow fell from the heavens, blanketing the ground below in a white sheet. Matt fell to his knees, his breath coming out in clouds. His partner and best friend Gabumon stood protectively in front of him, willing to die for Matt. Around him lay seven lifeless bodies, their blood staining the snow. Matt's tears froze to his cheeks as the temperature dropped below zero. Matt looked up, his once bright blue eyes now a dull grey as if all the happiness had drained from his body, landing on the great beast before him. He knew he would soon join his friends...his family. But he wasn't going to go down without a fight.
Matt forced himself to his feet, pushing through the pain that the deep gash in his side is causing him. "One day your time will come" Matt spoke through gritted teeth. "You will face an enemy that even you can't beat Barbamon. So finish it..." Matt took a deep shaky breath, "So finish it" he spoke his final words and knelt down to Gabumon, taking him into his arms.
"I'm scared Matt" Gabumon spoke. He had tried to stay strong for Matt, for everyone, but now that the end had come he couldn't hold back. Tears fell from both of their eyes as they awaited the end. In the background they heard Barbamon call out his final attack but they didn't look away from each other even as the blast hit them and the life left their bodies, they kept their gaze.
Barbamon laughed manically. He had finally done it, he had killed the digidestined, something that the other demon lords had failed at. He was truly the greatest Digimon to have ever lived. He was about to turn and leave when something caught his attention. A soft blue light was emanating out of Gabumon's corpse. The light grew in size and brightness until it was so intense that Barbamon had to shield his eyes. The light started to change shape, shrinking down until all that was left was a floating digi-egg with a light blue glow.
"No" Barbamon gasped and then readied his staff, "Pandemonium Lost!" he called out his strongest attack, the same one that killed Matt and Gabumon. The dark flames shot out of the tip of the staff, straight at the egg. The flames made contact and engulfed the egg causing Barbamon to smirk. His smirk quickly fell when the egg sent out a wave of energy, dispersing the flames.
'You thought you had won' a soft, child like voice spoke, 'but no evil can ever break the power of friendship.' With that said the egg shot off towards the sky. Barbamon yelled out in rage after the egg but it was pointless. His victory had been taken from him, he could have never anticipated this change of events. Without another word he turned, tapped his staff on the ground and vanished instantly.
...
When all hope seems lost...friendship overcame the darkness. With the Digidestined dead, the Digital World needs new heroes.
