Episode 10
All over the place
Once more, the intro plays.
This time though, the opening theme from School-Live plays. Which, should pretty much set the tone for the rest of this.
As such, we begin where the last episode left off. With Varia finding a claymore in her body as the author returns. Somehow, this did not manage to kill her.
Varia: This feels… wonderful!
Chaos looked on, unsure of how to react to all of this.
Chaos: It'll be alright… It'll be alright.
TK and Victoria then walked in, not at all taking the time to knock. Better question. Where exactly is the front door for that apartment? They had to get in somewhere, but where would that be exactly?
As the author continued to ponder that, TK walked over to Chaos.
TK: Chaos, do you know where the digimon are?
Chaos: They should be in the back. I think.
TK then headed towards the back while Victoria focused in on the white mage.
Chaos: Please leave.
Victoria: Why?
Chaos: There's something about you that doesn't sit right with me.
Victoria: And what would that be?
Chaos took a deep breath and made another glance towards Victoria.
Chaos: I'm not quite sure and yet, I see some sort of familiarity. It as if I see a part of me within you.
Victoria snickered and pulled her butterfly swords out.
Victoria: Are you sure you want to test that?
Chaos: Absolutely.
The white mage then pulled her claymore out, swinging it in the direction of her opponent as Victoria did the same with her blades. What followed was a weirdly balanced battle between the two, with neither being able to strike the other down. Varia and BlackGatomon watched on, unsure of who the true victor would be.
Varia: Aww…
While those, TK was attempting to find Patamon.
TK: Where are you, bud?
Patamon: Over here!
TK made his way over to the voice, only to do a double take.
While all digimon minus BlackGatomon were still here and enjoying themselves, something seemed off about all of this. Everyone seemed quite happy and cheerful. But at best, it all seemed forced upon them. While it could be paranoia, one would just need to take that chance.
TK: Sorry guys, but as a Gentlemanly Asshole, this must be done!
He then pulled his gun out and proceeded to shoot Patamon and BlackGatomon. And while he didn't really want to do that, it was good precaution against whatever was coming their way.
TK: Ready to go home, bud?
Patamon nodded and flew up into TK's arms. The two made a quick glance towards the other digimon, just barely catching a glance of 'mystical' purple glow that might be affecting them. Not that either of them really cared about that at all.
The two then made their way towards the door. Strangely, neither seemed to notice the purple glow that was also on Patamon. Which begs the question on why TK thought shooting the two digimon in particular would actually make a difference. At the very least, he didn't attempt to jinx himself this time.
Just as he was about to reach the door, Chaos turned to face him.
Chaos: Where are you going?
TK: Home.
Chaos: Are you sure that's a good idea? Personally, I really don't what to deal with another massive shitstorm.
TK and Victoria then laughed.
Victoria: Considering you've already caused two of those already, that's rich coming from you.
Chaos: I've gotten better, though. Heck, it's been quite a while since I did anything catastrophic…
TK: The only you're even a part of this right now is because you fucked up!
Chaos made a quick glance towards the ground and sighed.
Chaos: You have two choices in life. You can choose to let those 'fuck-ups' take hold of you and let them drag you through the dirt. Or, you could just move on and learn from your mistakes. It's your choice which path to take.
TK and Patamon then exited, which was followed by a loud yip.
Chaos: Crap!
She walked out towards the duo, finding Patamon tearing into the chosen's flesh. Which serves him right to an extent, especially with him turning back into Nagamon.
Victoria: Seriously?
Of course, she got bitten after TK. Which meant reverting back into the plant humanoid known as Flower.
Varia: All that's missing is a witch-hat wearing bakemon.
Of course, that meant Jestery decided to just pop-in.
Jestery: Yay! Mommy Kitty is no more! Maybe Jestery off hook?
Esunga!
Once more, Chaos showed off her white magic skills. At least here in this madhouse, the infection was 'curable'.
Jestery: Does Chaos have to be a ruiner of Jestery's fun?
Chaos didn't answer, instead deciding to just return to the office. TK did something similar, the only difference being him leaving with Patamon. That left Victoria, who seemed more than ready to take her daughter on.
Jestery: What does Mommy Kitty want now?
Victoria snickered and focused her gaze on the jester.
Victoria: I believe you have something that belongs to me.
Jestery froze and looked ready to just teleport away. Yet, she decided against doing that.
Jestery: So what?
Victoria took a deep breath and slapped her daughter across the face.
Victoria: You took something you weren't supposed too. And instead of dealing with the consequences, you set a bad example for your own daughter.
Jestery: Daughter? Jestery has no id-
Just as she finished her sentence, the realization set in.
Victoria: After all, turnabout is fair play.
We then cut to a shot of TK and Patamon in the rain.
Patamon: do you really think this will be alright?
TK: I have no clue, bud. We just have to keep fighting.
?: My, my, my. The Gentlemanly Asshole in the flesh.
TK turned around, finding the teenage boy mentioned at the start of the just standing there.
TK: Who the hell are you?
?: You can call me Wrath.
TK stared towards the camera and flipped the viewers off.
TK: Unless you have something important for me, I would suggest you fuck off.
Wrath: Here you go, then.
Wrath hands over a piece of paper and then runs off. Once he was out of sight, TK opened the note up.
It's almost time.
The endgame is just about upon us.
-Hikari
TK smiled and continued on.
We then cut to Aurora's apartment, which had suffered some fire damage for some reason.
'Walrus': That's my final decision. That's it.
For that remark, he got a bullet to the skull. Surprisingly, this didn't manage to kill him.
Aurora: You remind me of the past. It is best that we clear that away.
Offscreen, the author was holding back the urge to bang his head against a wall.
We then cut to a shot of her at a bridge.
Aurora: Perfect.
But just as she attempted to climb over and end her existence. But just as she was about to attempt to climb over, she was by an orange dino wearing a pair of shiny yet distracting pair of pants. Of course, the dino went for the direct approach for solving this problem. By slapping her across the face with a banana, which was super effective.
We then cut to a shot of her waking up in a hallway.
Aurora: Fine god, I'll do it your way.
She then pulled herself up, only to run into Sora once more.
Sora: Hi.
Aurora: Just leave me alone.
The two girls then entered the classroom and got themselves sat down.
?: Aurora!
Sachiko then ran over, wrapping the cowgirl in a massive hug.
Aurora: Let go of me, bitch.
Reluctantly, Sachiko released Aurora as Makoto, Chaos, Lupe and Sora walked over.
Aurora: What do you people want?
Chaos: We're just happy to see you, that's all.
Makoto: Same.
Aurora: Boo hoo hoo. I rather be a corpse like the rest of my friends than talking with all of you.
Lupe: Stop that! We all consider you as a friend.
Sora: You just gotta keep living on, even when everyone else is dead.
Chaos took a deep breath.
Chaos: You're going to have to trust us. I realize that you feel like there are no other options but, you have to give us a chance.
Aurora stared towards Chaos, only for one of her pistols to 'suddenly' fall to the ground and shoot the white mage in the forehead.
Aurora: Oopsy.
Aurora then ran out of the classroom, not at all caring about the wellbeing of the person just shot. She did pick her gun up though.
Chaos: I hope… you're… happy with yourself.
With that, the white mage collapsed to the ground and mumbled something under her breath.
Makoto: Uh, is she still alive?
The luckster gave Chaos a poke, watching her carefully get back up.
Sachiko: What a Mary Sue…
Chaos then proceeded to kick the girl in the groin.
Chaos: If I were perfect, do you think I would've been hit?
Sachiko: I guess…
We then cut to under the bridge after school, as if Chaos's big injury was no big deal at all. The only people not there, were Aurora and Sora.
Lupe: Now what?
His gaze focused on a large black object sitting at his feet. He kneeled down and gave it a slight tap, only to catch a glimpse of a black hood.
Lupe: Fuck.
He teared into the object, revealing a figure draped in a black cloak as 'Despair Pollution Noise' plays.
Lupe: You always were following me.
He took a deep breath and zipped it up, but not before leaving a note of thanks. While she had done it in a nasty way, his life had been saved and things had worked out.
Makoto: What was that for?
Lupe: It's a long story.
With that, Aurora and Sora walk up. Or more of Aurora with the body of a dead Sora along the way. Strangely, one could just make out a faint figure for a few brief seconds. Only for it to disappear.
Joe: You can fix that, right?
Chaos stared out to Sora's body and sighed, making a quick check of her phone.
Chaos: No.
Joe: Why not?
Chaos: She has already came. Go ask Jestery for another clone.
Almost on cue, Victoria walked up and grabbed the body bag. This was then followed by Jestery.
Jestery: What do people want with Jestery now?
Sachiko: We lost Sora, that's what.
Jestery: What a shame. Not Jestery's problem though.
Chaos: Well you're useful as ever.
She then turned her attention to Aurora, who was now sporting a smug look on her stupid face.
Aurora: My, you actually survived that. I was really hoping you wouldn't.
Chaos didn't answer her, instead watching the cowgirl just walk away. Afterwards, the group went their separate ways and decided to go grab their digimon. /well, after all of this stuff occurred, of course.
Well, almost everyone.
Victoria: Are they gone?
Kuro: Yep, nya!
The two walked over to the body bag, making sure there wasn't anybody else watching them. Once they were sure of that, they picked the bag up and opened a portal up to shove it through.
Kuro: Now what, nya?
Victoria: We could stick around a little, maybe see how this all plays out.
Kuro: Sounds good, nya.
The portal then closes as Kuro Neko stares towards her friend. After the massive mess they had just gone through, it would be a nice change of pace.
TK: I'm home.
Patamon: Yay!
Patamon then flies over, only to get a hug.
TK: Feeling any better?
Patamon: A little bit.
TK smiled and pulled out the letter from earlier, showing it to his partner.
Patamon: Feels like forever since we heard anything about Hikari.
TK: I know.
He took a deep breath and looked down towards the floor. In retrospect, he could've chosen to keep living. Instead, the gentlemanly asshole decided death was a better option for some reason.
TK: Sure…
Patamon: Can I ask you something?
TK: Sure.
Patamon: When it's all over, what happens next?
TK didn't answer and just stared off into space. Of all the things here, this was the one big uncertainty. When they finally did finish off the 'final boss', would that be their end. Or would their stories continue on from this supposed 'endpoint'? That was the question with no answer.
TK: I don't know. If I did, I doubt I would be able to tell you.
Patamon: True.
Lupe and Gabumon then walk in.
TK: How's mom?
Lupe: The usual. Whining and moaning.
TK: Oh.
We then cut to Joe's house, where Gomamon is smoking a joint.
Gomamon: Joe! The airship got you again!
Joe: For the last fucking time, that only happened once.
We then cut to the train station, where Aurora is laying on the tracks.
Aurora: Kill me now, train!
Unsurprisingly, no trains killed Meiko Mochizuki.
We then cut to a building with it's lights off, where a bunch of people have slaughtered on live TV.
Yami: It's me!
Of course it fucking is. Truly wonderful.
We then cut to the morning of the next day, where Makoto and his harem are watching TV.
Makoto: Well that was wonderful.
Agumon: Agreed. But what do you think Misa?
The ninja sighed but decided to laugh afterwards.
Misa: Personally, I found it hilarious.
Kyoushi: Same. What about you, Monokuma?
The trio turned their attention to the robot bear, who was currently cosplaying as Makoto. It makes sense in context.
Monokuma: I could care less. Especially with that succubus around the house.
Almost on cue, Lily walked over and kicked Monokuma. Following that, we shift over to the couch, where Agumon and Reapmon are sitting.
Agumon: I'm hungry!
Reapmon: No shit.
We then cut to Chaos's office, where she is casually meditating. Of course, that meant the digimon had been returned to her for some reason.
Gabumon: I have an idea. Let's get out of here!
The other digimon nodded in agreement and fled the office. Outside, we shift over to a vehicle with two men in black.
Man: We have them in our sight.
Cora: Follow them.
We then cut to a shot of exterior of Odiaba Middle School. Which, only took 14 years to get.
Following that, were treated to a shot of a classroom and one of the roof. Finally, we focus in on a hallway where Lily is standing. Strangely, she had stopped in the middle just to check out her ringing phone.
Lily: Weird…
She flipped it open and held it up to her ear.
Lily: What do you want?
?: To give back your part.
The colors suddenly inverted, only to return to normal a few seconds later.
'Lily': It is almost time…
With that she walked away as the episode ended.
