Well, the title says it all; the Finale! But never fear, for this is not the end of the story, just the finale between the Digi-Destined and the Kaiser, and there will be much more excitement! I just want to say now, thank all of you who read this story (even though I only got about 2 reviews) which, I guess I could forgive you (just kidding!) This story, I think, has been one of my betters, and it has been fun, and I really do want to thank you all for your support and favoritising.

Chapter 7

Finale

The last stand, as some would call it. Others would call it the ending, just like in a story. But still, others would call it the finale. The very end, like nothing else could happen after this.

This was the finale between them, and the Kaiser. The one who enslaved so many Digimon in the past and present, and it was time for it to stop.

The group stared at the army of Digimon in front of them. Zephyrmon was no where to be seen, which hopefully meant that the Kaiser didn't have her.

"You ready?" BeoWulfmon asked Aldamon, not bothering to turn toward him.

"Ready as I'll ever be, buddy," Aldamon replied. "This may be our final battle, but I'm glad to be fighting it with you."

"Enough talking!" the Kaiser yelled. "ATTACK!"

All sizes of Digimon rushed toward the small army, some flying, some running on all fours, but all were controlled by dark rings.

"Get ready," Aldamon said as his team silently watched the oncoming Digimon. There had to have been hundred, maybe even thousands, but all of them were there, all of them attacking the tiny little army.

"GO!" the Warrior of Fire gave the command, and the army charged forward, all using their own unique powers to destroy the dark rings.

"MetalKabuterimon, let's do our combo!" KoriKakumon called, using his 'Frozen arrowheads' attack on a group of smaller Digimon who weren't sporting dark rings.

"Sure thing, ELECTRON CANON!" the burst of lightning sped toward the tied up Digimon and turned them into eggs.

"JagerLoweemon," BeoWulfmon nodded to his brother, receiving an understanding nod in return. "FROZEN HUNTER!"

"DARK MASTER!"

The attacks went through a straight line, slicing dark rings from around the Digimons' necks as they went.

Emotiomon flew through the flying Digimon, using her sword to slice at the dark rings, and every once in a while using her long whip to bring more enemies to her. Canonmon took up the rear, shooting at dark rings.

Silphymon went around as well, doing their part in the battle also, using their power to also destroy dark rings, along with Shakkoumon.

Imperialdramon was fighting his own battle as the mega Digimon all charged him, using their greatest attacks to try and take him down, but he still held his own.

They're only going after him because he's giant,Aldamon thought to himself, fighting off another Digimon.

"EYE BLOW!" a sudden burst of energy erupted from the field of Digimon, causing the warriors to fly back and de-digivolve, along with the Chosen Digimon.

"What was that?" Daisuke shrieked.

"I'm not sure, but it wasn't good," Ken replied, squinting his eyes to get a better look into the crowed.

"Looks like my Dark Ghoulmon will be eating Digi-Destined for dinner," the Kaiser smirked.

The Ghoulmon stepped out to the front of the crowd, scanning over the humans surrounded by data as if decided which one to eat first. And then he decided. "Chocolate…" he said in a deep voice, stomping toward Junpei. "Chocolate…"

"Yes, Ghoulmon, help yourself," the Kaiser encouraged.

Dark Ghoulmon leaned over the boy and started looking through his pockets, causing the Kaiser and other Digi-Destined to wonder what was going on.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" The Kaiser demanded as his slave pulled chocolate bars out of Junpeis' pockets and started pulling the wrapper off of them one at a time. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE EATING THEM, NOT THE CHOCOLATE!"

Ken couldn't help but laugh at his former alter egos' demise.

"Chocolate…" the Digimon repeated.

And that was when it got even worse, and Junpei opened his eyes, letting out a long, high pitched shriek, which, of course, also caused Dark Ghoulmon the shriek as well and drop the Chocolate.

"Will you shut up?" the Kaiser asked. "You're giving me a head ache. And besides, we're in the middle of a battle, and I was winning! HerculesKabuterimon, finish them off!"

A giant, golden Kabuterimon came flying high about the crowd of Digimon, not sporting any sort of dark ring.

"That's a HerculesKabuterimon," Ken began. "He is like an ultra powered Kabuterimon, and uses his Mega Electroshocker to annihilate his enemies."

"Come forward, Lotosmon!" the Kaiser demanded, and a beautiful fairy Digimon flew to the front.

"Lotosmon is a mega level fairy Digimon, she uses her Sevens Fantasia to tempt her enemies into a fantasy world that causes them to lose their fighting spirit," Takeru explained.

"Gokumon, come and fight for your master," the Kaiser ordered, and the crowd of Digimon cleared a path for a giant skeleton Digimon made of silver and gold armor to step through.

"Gokumon is also a mega level Digimon, and uses his Grim Slasher attack to grab his enemy with his chain, and slice them to pieces with his sickle," Iori explained.

"Fight along your allies, JumboGamemon!"

A giant robotic dragon walked on his hind legs through the crowd, roaring loudly.

"JumboGamemon is a mega Digimon as well, and uses his Jumbo Crater attack to take out a whole 360 degree range of Digimon and humans a like, leaving behind a massive crater," Daisuke said.

"Pharaohmon, awaken and aid me in this war."

A giant mummy also stepped to the front of the crowd, holding the top of a sarcophagus in one hand, and a staff in the other.

"Pharaohmon, another mega level," Miyako said. "He enters into his sarcophagus as an ultimate defense, and uses his staff to create a thick fog, and his Fist of Nile attack to destroy his enemies. Talk about creepy."

"Boltmon, com and find your heart in the battlefield," the Kaiser said.

A green ox-like Digimon came up to the front of the crowd, wielding a rather large ax.

"Boltmon, yet another mega level Digimon. He uses his Tomahawk Crunch attack to slice at his enemies," Hikari explained.

"Now, the last of my powerful minions, Daemon, come and seek your revenge on the Digi-Destined who sent you away!"

Ken froze in fear at the name of the Digimon. Daemon, the one who tried to kill him after Oikawa had implanted the dark spore into all of those children. The Digimon who wanted him dead for no apparent reason, was back, looking for revenge.

"NECRO MIST!" the mummy Digimon waved his staff, creating a heavy fog that covered the battle field.

"MEGA ELECTRO SHOCKER!"

"GRIM SLASHER!"

"TOMAHAWK CRUNCH!"

"SERPENT RUIN!" the fairy Digimon sent a black aura from the black have of her staff.

"EVIL INFERNO!"

The Digimon that battled along side of the warriors, Digi-Destined, and Celestial Digimon were automatically struck down, causing them all to turn to Digi-eggs. Imperialdramon, Silphymon, and Shakuyamon were all sent back, barely able to recover from the blow.

"SEPHORITE CRYSTAL!"

"STRIKE OF THE SEVEN STARS!"

"STORM OF JUDGEMENT!"

The attacks of the Celestial Digimon flew forward, and nobody had expected what happened next. The Mega Digimon stood calmly as the attacks flew to them, and several lower level Digimon rushed forward to defend the Mega Digimon, resulting in their own destruction.

"You see now that any attempts to destroy my soldiers are futile, because the lower down Digimon are so willing to give up their own lives for this cause," the Kaiser said.

"You sick, sick man," Ken growled.

"What did you say?" the Kaiser asked. "I couldn't hear you."

Ken glared at him, "DO YOU EVEN REALIZE WHAT YOU'E DOING?"

"Yes, I know exactly what I'm doing," the man said. "I am creating my own world, where nobody would dare stand up to me. You children are simply in the way."

"These Digimon aren't just some pawns in your game. They are real, not just some game on your computer. I learned that after killing so many of them, I had to lose my best friend to realize what I had been doing," Ken said. "You don't have to go through that, you can end this before you lose somebody important to you."

The Kaiser lost his smile as if deep in thought. "But I don't have anyone to go to after this," he said. "Before this, I was just some guy on the street, trying to get by everyday, a man that people would spit on if they got close enough."

"You could be more than that," Daisuke said. "I mean, Ken here started out just some little kid who lost his brother, but now look at him! He's a freakin' genius, and he helped protect the Digital World and the real World of MaloMyotismon!"

"But where will I go?" the Kaiser asked.

"You've got to have some family somewhere," Hikari said. "You can't be completely alone in the world. Maybe you have a friend you could stay with."

"FOOLS!" a voice boomed. "DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY! THIS IS YOUR WORLD, AND NO ONE CAN TAKE IT FROM YOU!"

The Kaiser got his evil smile back and raised his hand high above his head, "FINISH THEM OFF!" he called.

Kelly opened her eyes due to the screaming in her ears. All she heard was 'finish them off,' but she didn't need to hear anymore to know that something bad was about to happen.

She ran over to the other Digi-destined, joined by the other warriors who were also waking up.

"Well, at least it wasn't "off with their heads"," she said smiling, trying to lighting the mood, although the was pretty hard to do, seeing as how they were all about to be killed by a mob of angry, controlled Digimon.

"What do we do?" Miyako asked frantically as the Digimon ran toward them.

That was when Mercurymon stepped up and leaned before the group. "We have caused much pain to you in the past," he said. "Let us repay our debts to you and defend you."

The other three warriors also stepped forward and kneeled down.

"No," Takuya said.

Mercurymon raised his head.

"There is no way any more Digimon are going to have to die," the Warrior of Fire said sternly. "I will not allow you to protect us while we cower in a corner. We are Legendary Warriors, and we're the ones who defeated Cherubimon back when he was under Lucemons control, and we also defeated Lucemon himself. We recently defeated Myotismon, well, he was really Devimon, but we defeated him to! And did we give up when Lucemon sent his Royal Knights after us?"

"Uh, well, we sure didn't defeat the royal knights, if that's what you're asking," Kouji said.

"We didn't, but that doesn't mean that we backed down every stinkin' time they showed up to scan a place! I mean sure, they did scan the Digital World, but we fought with everything we had, and we used team work to get close to defeating them. So I am not giving up now, and even without Izumi, we can handle this guy and his mob of Mega Digimon. We've done it before and we'll do it again."

The group smiled, "Yeah."

"Execute – Beast Spirit Evolution!" the group all turned to their beast spirits, while the other four warriors slide evolved. Well, all but Mercurymon, who couldn't do much with his beast spirit.

"WILD FIRE TSUNAMI!"

"LUPINE LASER!"

"ELECTRON CANON!"

"AVALANCH THROW!"

"TICKING DOOM!"

"ROMANTIC GAZE!"

"ACID INK!"

"GIGA STORM!"

"LEAF CYCLONE!"

"MIRROR OFFSET!"

"JUSTICE BEAM!"

"STATIC FORCE!"

"POSITRON LASER!"

The attacks of the warriors and the other Digimon charged together, all forming one huge blast of energy and tearing through the ground before flying up at the Mega Digimon hitting them all directly.

And then nothing happened.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Daisuke shouted. "THAT WAS A PERFECT HIT!"

"Now, get them!"

The dark Mega Level Digimon all used their attacks again, but the Digimon easily evaded all of them.

The attacks kept coming, followed by attacks from the smaller Digimon, making it harder and harder to evade, until… "Looks like you guys need some help," a familiar voice called to them from the sky.

They all looked up and saw a sight that made them all relax for a moment, it was Zephyrmon, flying above the crowd.

"Where've you been?" BurningGreymon asked. "Junpei almost killed me after you disappeared!"

"I went to get some help," she said.

And then something else amazing happened…

"TERRA FORCE!"

"METAL WOLF SNOUT!"

"WING BLADE!"

"MEGA BLASTER!"

"VULCANS HAMMER!"

"FLOWER CANON!"

"Guys, attack now!" Taichi called to the group.

The warriors, Digimon, Celestial Digimon, and even Lucemon and Cupidmon did as they were told and attacked the mega Digimon, taking their best shot.

There was a giant mushroom cloud of smoke around the Digimon, and once it cleared, all of them were gone… all but one.

"What? Daemon is still there?" Daisuke asked.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Hikari turned to Ken, who nodded in response.

"We need to open up a gate to the dark ocean again."

The frontier group stared at them in wonder as Ken held out his D-3. The sky around Daemon started to change, and soon they could all see the dreary place known as the dark ocean.

"You may have won this time, Digi-Destined, but I will be back," the dark Digimon yelled as Imperialdramon sent an attack at him that sent him flying through.

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" the Kaiser shrieked. "YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT MY MEGA DIGIMON!"

"Well, if you don't have any other tricks up your rather long sleeves, can we just finish this?" BurningGreymon asked.

The Kaiser sighed. "I have the remote control for the dark rings right here," he said, holding up something that looked like a TV remote control.

"It's not too late, you know, to help people," Ken said.

Before he could continue, someone started calling for the Kaiser. "Souta!" a little voice called. The now-free Digimon in the crowd all stepped aside to let a hopping Sunmon through. "Souta, I have been waiting for you!"

"You?" the Kaiser, apparently Souta, asked. "You were waiting for me?"

"You bet I was!" the in-training Digimon replied. "I have been waiting for so long. It took you a little while to get here, but you came, and we can be together now!"

Souta looked at the small sun-shaped Digimon. "You mean, I do have somebody to stay with?"

The Digimon nodded in an awkward way. "You can stay here with me!"

"Well, I guess it never is too late to start over," Kelly smiled.

"We should be going," Takuya pointed out. "Now that the Digital World is safe, there is no reason for us to stay here."

"Wait," Kelly said. "I first came back here to find my sister, Ellie."

Mindy looked at her, "That's right; you said that the Digimon took her, right?"

Kelly nodded.

"Well, I'm up for an adventure," Taichi smiled. "It's not like I have anything else going on."

"What about him?" Sora asked, looking at the Kaiser.

"He'll be fine," Ken said. "He has somebody now, and we'll be here for a little while longer, so if he tries anything, we'll know about it.

"Excuse me, but did you say you the looking for someone?" Souta asked, walking up to the group while his Sunmon bragged to the other Digimon.

Kelly nodded, "My sister, Ellie. She was taken by a Digimon, and I came here looking for her, but got a little side tracked."

"Well, I don't know of any other humans coming into the Digital World other than you kids, so I'd say that she must have been taken by some other Digimon, and not the ones that I have been controlling."

Kelly nodded, "Thank you."

"Well, looks like we really do have another adventure now," Daisuke said.

"Yeah, and hopefully this time we won't be trying to save the world, and just one person," Kouji frowned.

"Well, let's go!" Takuya threw a fist into the air, and Daisuke and Taichi followed this action.

The group went on their way, Izumi and Mimi talking in the back, while the three goggle-heads lead the way to where-ever they were going. Kouji, Kouichi, Matt, and Takeru talked about stuff, while Kelly and Ken walked with their hands intertwined. Hikari, Sora, and Mindy watched the two love birds and smiled at the sight, and Miyako and Iori talked amongst themselves quietly.

"Stop where you are, Children," a childish voice demanded.

The group turned to see two angelic figures standing back-to-back next to each other, their bodies turned to the side while their heads faced them.

"You have defeated the Kaiser for us, so we no longer need you here, though if you go back to your own world, you will surely come back, so we have no choice but to destroy you," another voice, just as childish, but obviously female said.

"So you can come quietly and give in to your death, or we can make it slow and painful for you."

"Well, we really thought you did change," Takuya said. "But I guess not."

Standing before the Digi-Destined and their Digimon, the sun setting behind them casting long shadows, were Lucemon and Cupidmon.

"Let's just hope that this is the last time we do this," Kouji said, pulling out his D-Tector.


Ok, I think I really love this chapter! The quickest update I've done for this story, and it was one of my favorites… wow. Well, I still have a lot of stuff planned, and I know, I am mean for leaving another cliff hanger, but hey, I have a life too!... sort of.

Well, what do you think? I will update when I can, and the weekend is here, so it will probably be soon. And also, reviews do make me update sooner, unless I have writers block, then it won't really do anything, but just review if you feel like it.
