Before starting, allow me say some things about this fic, started in 2015 so I could get into tri. hype and have hopes for a great series. Yes, tri. ride was good to me and I enjoyed it – what I didn't enjoy was actually some bits of it.
I really loved every moment I wrote this fic and I'd like to say this finale might not mean the end of this fic, probably I will come up with something for it later. Until I get new ideas, please enjoy this last chapter I wrote two days ago.
IT CONTAINS 'OUR FUTURE' SPOILERS.
Thank you for reading!
The pitch black wasn't bugging him, in this endless dream where he re-lived his memories and had witnessed a bunch of bad moments but also had enjoyed good events in his life.
The ball was rolling around the scenario, faster but he couldn't catch it.
Said ball became a blue animal. Red eyes and small like a plush, Daisuke discovered it was his digimon partner, Chibimon.
He smiled.
Daisuke, I know you're still asleep…
Running after his partner, the young Daisuke was changing the background. Now it was the Digital World and they were with the Chosen Children. Chibimon had evolved to V-mon and they were facing the Digimon Kaiser.
"Yosh, V-mon… Get him!"
V-mon nodded and evolved directly to Fladramon, exploding the Dark Tower with a Knuckle Fire technique. The boy was so proud and full of energy that he didn't pay attention to the strange voice echoing in the background.
… I'm sorry that I didn't notice you weren't around…
The Kaiser magically transformed in Ken and he joined the walk. They then faced Cherubimon. Again, Daisuke evolved V-mon to an Armor digimon, Lighdramon, and fought the enemy alongside the Chosen Children.
The mysterious voice kept talking.
… If I had noticed it before, I could've saved you, and the other three too…
Cherubimon has been beaten by them all, Daisuke's pride was seen in his smirk and how much the group was pretty happy with their victory. Then, Cherubimon shapeshifted to Arukenimon and she used her hair to create a horde of Dark Tower digimon. The Chosen Children, all twelve together, evolved their partners to Adult level and fought them.
… But we– I didn't. I almost lost you too. If I had lost another person, I could've never forgive myself…
Two boys standing in front the Chosen Children were glancing at Arukenimon, who was so done with them all. Daisuke glanced at Taichi and they nodded, next they ordered together:
"Let's go, guys…!"
The entire group followed them without questions. Arukenimon then created Black War Greymon with thousand Dark Towers. One by one, the Chosen Children's partner were beaten by the beast. The group's screams caused so much panic to Daisuke's heart. He had no experience, he had no idea how to deal with it.
"Don't worry, it will be fine"
Taichi put a hand on his shoulder, he looked at Taichi and then they smiled to each other. Thus, the Jogress Evolution has appeared: XV-mon and Stingmon became Paildramon, Aquilamon and Tailmon became Silphymon, Ankylomon and Angemon became Shakkoumon. The older Chosen Children stepped back, them with their partners on their hands. The three jogress digimon fought Black War Greymon by themselves until Qinglongmon appear and power up the older Chosen Children's partners. Agumon became War Greymon and joined the fight. Paildramon evolved to Imperialdramon Fighter Mode.
… There was a person I'd have loved to introduce to you, but he died. And it was my fault, I couldn't save him…
Black War Greymon then joined them, and Daemon appeared. The group fought him, but had no success. Not even the older Chosen's partners were stronger enough to beat him. Then, Ken tried to open the gate to the Dark Ocean with the help of everyone… To seal Daemon there. They were able to, and the next enemy to appear was Oikawa.
But the drama with Oikawa was so fast that a black mist came out from his mouth, becoming Belial Vamdemon. Arukenimon, Mummymon and Black War Greymon were beaten by him. All the Chosen around the world appeared and then they joined the last battle.
… It must have been hard for you, to fight Himekawa-san and Yggdrasil by yourself. We tried to contact you once we saw a faker Ken kidnapping Meicoomon, but we had no success. We also tried to ask Himekawa-san and she lied to Yamato…
The Chosen Children had won the battle, but they lost Oikawa in the process. Daisuke never had seen a person die like that before, not in front of his eyes. He was crying inside, because he wanted to not let his friends worried with him.
Another change in the scenario and he was seeing Pukumon and Boltmon. That was a small memory. All 02 team beat them, so the next enemy had appeared: Diablomon. There, Imperialdramon and Omegamon joined forces to become Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, to beat the enemy.
… I'd like to say 'we tried our best' but we didn't. Meicoomon was giving us headaches, we really forgot about you four. And I'm sorry for that, because if we had found any clue to lead us to your whereabouts, nothing of that could've happened…
They beat Diablomon's ultimate form and they sent the Kuramon swarm back to the Digital World with everyone's phones. The scenario changed and he was now in New York with Mimi and Wallace, but it was desert and he saw that girl… Natchan. Natchan memory was pretty fast as well, and he couldn't reach her this time.
"N-Natchan!"
There was a change in the time and space, he went then to the prologue of his fall. He was trying to open the gate, but nothing worked. A woman approached from them… That woman, that government agent was pretty shady but they all trusted her.
She sent them to the Digital World, where…
"NO NO NO!"
The black armored digimon had appeared.
"NO…!"
… I'm so sorry, Daisuke. I'm a bad senpai for you.
He opened his eyes and gasped, his heart racing and his skin turned pale. Taichi gasped in panic, because he thought something bad was going to happen but Daisuke had only woken up.
He heard the sound of the devices in the room, and glanced at the older boy who had been so much scared of losing him.
"S-senpai…?"
Taichi was crying right now.
"Are you… crying…?"
"Y-you're fine…!"
"O-of course I am…! M-maybe a bit bro-broken… and c-confused, but I'm a-alive."
"D-Daisuke, what happened? Do you remember?"
"… I do."
"… I guess this is not the right moment to talk about it…?"
"Y-you're r-right…" - he sat on the bed, looking at his own legs - "I… can't y-yet."
"O-oh… Y-yeah, you just woke up since your disappearance. I'm sorry that I had no time to pass by to see you I–"
"TAICHI!"
Both boys looked at the door and saw Yamato entered in. Yamato closed the room's door and approached.
"Don't."
"Don't what?" - Taichi frowned.
"Don't do that, let Daisuke rest. He will be able to talk later, he needs to rest."
"Huh? He's pretty fi–"
"Don't you understand?! He needs to take baby steps, it's hard to him to talk about it right now. He had been asleep for months, if you force things onto him it will just stress him out!"
Taichi knew those, but all he wanted was to know what exactly happened to Daisuke.
"I'm fine…" - Daisuke spoke - "I mean… It's a bit… hard to talk about it."
"You don't need to, don't worry" - Yamato replied him - "Just rest, when you feel it's the time to talk about what happened, we will chat about it."
"Thank you…" - he just lied in the bed again, him feeling hopeless and lost. Taichi hated to see a child like Daisuke in that state, not when he was used to a very lively and noisy Daisuke.
He knew something terrible had broken Daisuke's mind and had stolen that smile he once had.
"Don't yell here, we're in an hospital!" - Taichi stared at Yamato - "And I know I can't force Daisuke to talk, I was… Worried."
"… I was too" - Yamato said with a quiet voice - "With him and you."
"Tsundere…" - Daisuke let it slip from his mouth.
"I-I'm not!"
"He's recovering fast, look at him teasing you" - Taichi chuckled.
"I gonna recover faster than you can count to 100…!" - the young boy grinned.
"I missed that little imp" - Yamato whispered.
The cracks in the mirror came faster, as Daisuke dropped the grin and looked to the window. The atmosphere of their reunion was pretty demolished by a murmur of their junior.
"I let y'all worried, and I lost. I couldn't save anyone."
"Huh?" - they frowned.
"… I'm the one who should've been SORRY here. It's all my fault, it's all–" - he tried to sit again, but he did it too fast and his back hurt - "Ouch ouch ouch!"
"D-don't force yourself!"
"… I'm sorry" - he was crying now - "I don't remember anything before waking up here but all I remember is a black knight fighting us…! T-they're after a digimon… T-they're after Hikari-chan either…! I have to– ACK– Do s-something…! But I can't walk…! I can't move my legs…!"
"It's over, Daisuke" - Taichi put his hand over Daisuke's - "It's everything okay now, The Digital World, the human world, Hikari… They're fine. We're fine. The other three are fine."
"… They might HATE me now…!" - he bawled - "Stupid, stupid Daisuke! V-mon probably hates me either…! I caused troubles, if I had stopped t-them…!"
"We don't hate you" - Yamato was serious - "Ditch that idea that we hate you for a stupid hotblooded mistake."
"… I'm not a good lead."
"I don't think you're bad though."
"I almost died! And I almost killed Ichijouji, Miyako and Iori!"
"They seem not angry at you either."
"H-how?! I did horrible things I–"
"Daisuke, listen" - Taichi interrupted him - "You did nothing wrong. It's all Himekawa-san's fault. It's Yggdrasil's fault. Putting the blame on you won't solve it, you were a victim, all of us were, teacher Nishijima too."
"Teacher Nishijima…?"
"I couldn't save him…"
"Don't start you putting the blame on yourself too!" - Yamato hissed.
"… I'm sorry to hear that" - Daisuke looked down - "Was he a victim of Yggy too?"
Taichi nodded in silence.
"… I will tell you what happened" - Daisuke clenched his fists - "I'm not good at explaining things, but listen carefully."
They nodded.
A writer's thoughts:
So I know it ends there and I just hope the next Adventure project is about 02 kids and that we will learn what happened to them.
I tried to search about stuff to learn about how fureidoramon'd up the kids will be now. And knowing that Takeru says they are recovering well in the end of pt6 is NOT enough to me.
