Salamon's POV:
"Daddy, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" The girl said with a bit of a sorrowful cry.
"No honey, not now. We aren't going to the park." Her father said as he tried to work on his, well, work.
It had been several hours since Salamon had been adopted, and the girl had agreed to help Salamon in her search for her friends. Her father, however, was beginning to be in the way. He had a lot of 'work' to do, and so he couldn't take her to the park. There was an advantage the girl and Salamon had that no father could resist for too long; the cute factor. Seeing as working alone wasn't doing it the girl had grabbed ahold of Salamon, showing her off to her dad. Salamon chipped in with a pout and whine to help sell the act.
"But daddy, Salamon really wants to go to the park. Look how unhappy she is."
Her father sighed, and took a moment before he spoke.
"All right, fine. You win. I guess I'll just take my work with me to the park. Go get her collar on while I get ready."
The girl yelped with joy as she ran off to get Salamon's collar. Salamon, meanwhile, was busy holding on for dear life as they flew through the house. Eventually Salamon had her pink collar and leash on as the father came in with the key's and briefcase.
"Alright then, let's get a move on dear."
The three of them headed out into the car; the father up front driving and the girl and Salamon in the back. As the cars started up, Salamon decided to try and come up with a plan on finding the others.
"Okay, so once we are at the park we can look around and see if any of my friends around there, right?" Salamon whispered.
The girl nodded a yes.
"And once we find them we'll bring them all home and be friends forever." The girl said with a twinkle in her eye.
Seeing that made Salamon feel so guilty. Once her friends were found she would have to abandon this girl as they searched for a way back to the Digital World. But she seemed so excited about having all these new friends, how could she tell her that. Then again, putting it off till the last minute would probably devastate her even more. It was such a hard decision, and the stress revealed itself as Salamon curled up on the seat in frustration.
"Is something wrong Salamon?" The girl asked with worry. Salamon looked up and consoled her with a no. The girl accepted it at face value, though Salamon remained concerned as they drove into the parking lot o the park.
Veemon's POV:
After his little escapade in the amusement park Veemon had wandered around the city as he tried to find his way to the park. There were a few small incidents along the way that resulted in him being chased (in his defense though those hotdogs were so tempting), but overall there wasn't of anything of interest that happened. He soon arrived in the park, unharmed and ready to find his friends.
"Hey, what's that over there!" Veemon said as he noticed a small area with a variety of equipment. There were several human kids playing on them, and so he decided he would join in the fun. The first thing he went to was what looked like a piece of wood and two sets of chains on a pole. A kid was going back and forth on it, and so Veemon stood over on the side looking on curiously. The kid eventually noticed him, but for some reason he dug his foot into the ground to stop himself. The two of them stared down each other, each with a curious look on there face. That was until Veemon spoke.
"Hi there. My name's Veemon." He said with a smile. The kid apparently wasn't used to talking animals as he soon quickly jumped off the wood plank and started running away and saying something about his 'mommy'.
"Okay then, see you later then?" Veemon said confused.
Whatever had happened left the plank open, and so Veemon got on. Pushing on the ground like the kid did he soon found himself going higher and higher until finally he couldn't any higher. It was a rush, but more importantly it actually helped him. With that extra height he could get a good view of the park, to a degree. Sadly it didn't help as he couldn't see any of the others (though there was something that looked similar to Salamon). Eventually it got boring on the wood, and so he dug his feet into the ground to stop himself.
"So now what should I do…hey, that looks like a good idea." He said as he spied a large, metal thing with a latter and a sloped piece of metal. Climbing to the top of it he got an even better view of the park, but still no sign of the others. Sitting down to think about what to do next, he soon found himself moving.
"Hey, whats going on here? Somebody heeeeeelp." Veemon yelled as he started to slide down the slope. It was, however, done before he even really finished yelling. Getting up off the ground he found he was back on the ground.
"I'm not really liking this thing. One moment you're sitting and the next you're on the ground. Besides, I must get back to finding the others. I will not be distracted!"
Determining to not get distracted again Veemon left the area so as to better resist the temptation. Walking through the park he glanced over the park again and again to find the other's but found no relief. As he did, however, he failed to notice the people around him and soon found himself bumping into a man who was carrying some cone with something in it. Part of what he was carrying fell onto his nose. Veemon looked at it as the man talked.
"Oh, I'm so sorry about that. I didn't mean to ruin your costume. Um, ice cream stains can be washed out of it, right?" The man said in a rush.
Veemon, however, quickly answered that question as he sucked in the 'ice cream'. The taste was nothing he had ever had before; it was sweet, cold, and creamy and was beyond greatness. As it melted in his mouth he gained a new twinkle in his eye, and soon that twinkle was directed at the rest of what the guy had.
"Sir, can I have the rest of that 'ice cream' stuff?" Veemon asked.
"Wait, what? Kid, isn't your mother or father around here? I'm sure they can get you one." The man said as he started to move away. Veemon stood confused, once again, but sad as well that he couldn't get anymore ice cream.
"Oh well, guess I'll just have to go find the others whether I can get ice cream or not."
Impmon's POV:
After the pep talk with the man on the way to the city Impmon had inspired himself with a new load of confidence. He was determined to find his friends and correct the wrong he had done to them. As time went on, however, he started to fall into some doubt again. Sure, he didn't think they had died, but would they really forgive him for what he did?
Impmon, you got to stop doubting yourself like this. They are your friends. You've fought with them, eaten with then, lived them basically. But how did you repay them? Betraying them in a fit of rage.
Seeing as thinking wasn't helping him Impmon started to mindlessly hit a nearby tree. Eventually he got tired of it (and his fist hurt as well), so he jumped onto a branch and decided to try thinking again. Besides, from up there he could get a good view of the park.
Okay, let's think of the pros and cons here. Pro; they are your friends and friends forgive friends. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone gets angry. Con; You almost killed them and betrayed them to our enemies because of a little jealousy.
It was the almost killing them part that kept making him doubt himself. He personally wouldn't forgive someone for that, so he couldn't see how the others could. Then again, the rest of them were much different. Veemon was adventurous and fun loving, Salamon was innocent and caring, and Gazimon was pretty sensible at times (if a bit dramatic as well).
"Man things were easier when I was on my own without friends to worry about."
Even with statement, though, Impmon knew that his life was better with them than without them. That was probably why he was so stressed out over all of this. Looking over at the park lazily, he jumped up when he spotted a small dog and a blue dinosaur-dragon thing.
"So, they are here afterall. I should wait for Gazimon to get here before I do anything though. If I'm going to tell them about what happened I want them all to be here."
Richard's POV:
Returning home was both a good and bad thing for me. While I was relieved to find my absence wasn't affecting my family at all, at the same time it made me not really want to leave. Here I was safe and sound; no Demon Lords or evil Digimon trying to blast me to data bits. Then again, here I was still a Gazimon, and if that e-mail was right it would stay that way unless I beat the Demon Lords. Deep down I knew I had to go, but that didn't mean I had to like it.
On the flip side, I knew once I found the rest of the gang I would be able to get some more relief. Knowing that they were safe would really help me out as well as serve as a constant reminder of my duties should I start to second guess myself. And on that note I arrived in the park, and I was ready to get to work.
"Salamon, Veemon, Impmon? Are guy's around here? It's me, Gazimon."
I knew that yelling that out in the park was probably not a smart thing to do, but I didn't really care. I just wanted to find them, and apparently it worked. A little ways off I could see a small dog perk up, and the girl holding her leash looking my direction. Within the next few minutes Salamon and I were back together.
"Salamon, I'm so glad to see you. I was getting so worried about you all getting hurt." I said I hugged in a rushed feeling of relief.
"Glad your safe too Gazimon, but do you think you could stop crushing me please?" She said, and I quickly replied. If wasn't for my fur you could have seen me blushing.
"Uh, sorry about that. I was just so excited about finding you…" It was then that I remembered that there was that girl as well.
"So, uh, has Salamon explained this situation to you already or…."
"Yep, Salamon explained to me everything. You and you're friends were separated, but now you are getting all together again. And then we are going to live at my house…"
"Wait it a minute, living at your house? Salamon, I think you need to explain to her a little bit more."
The girl looked confused as Salamon just looked down at the ground. I gave her a quick nudge before she started talking, rather sadly might I add.
"We can't stay at your home. We have to go back to that world and help save it from Digimon like Skull Satamon. I'm sorry I made you think we could stay with you."
I could tell that the little girl felt crushed, and it did hurt me a little to see here like that. Still, it had to be done; we had a job to do. The girl just stood there, and she was tearing up, but eventually she got a statement out.
"Well then, I guess I better help you out then. But are you sure you can't stay with me?"
Salamon and I both shook our heads 'no.' Soon the three of us were spread out among the park looking for Veemon and Impmon. Impmon was nowhere in sight, but it didn't take long before Veemon could be found. He was standing near an ice-cream cart, and it looked like he as begging the owner for ice-cream.
"Please, please can I have some? I'll be your best friend." He pleaded. I came up from behind and grabbed him from behind, dragging him off.
"Hey, what's the big idea…Gazimon!"
Once Veemon saw it was me it was time for another round of hugging. He soon started into a spiel about all the fun he had in the real world and amusement parks and ice cream. It took several minutes before we could calm him down long enough to ask him if he had seen Impmon anywhere.
"No, I haven't seen him anywhere at all. I've been doing some, uh, investigating."
I gave him a blank stare as Salamon caught up with me. Veemon and her gave the similar "I missed you" exchange before we tried to think of what to do next.
"Really, all that's left is to find Impmon. But that guy can hide pretty good if he wanted to." Veemon said.
"Well, we better find him quick. I got a message from Azulongmon, and he said he would be opening a portal back to the Digital World right here in this park. If Impmon's not here when it opens he might not get back to the Digital World."
The other two were pretty silent, though around this time the girl and what must have been her father had arrived on the scene.
"See daddy, I told you they could talk. See, see!"
The dad look as if he was a deer caught in a headlight. It seemed that he was having more trouble believing in it than his daughter, but it was hard not to when a dog, a dinosaur/dragon, and whatever thing I was were standing there talking.
"But, how, why? I can't believe it. It wasn't just my daughter's imagination? Then that means you will have to leave Salamon?" He asked.
"Yep, I'm real sorry about that. It was fun being your 'pet', but I have a duty to my friend's and the Digital World. But if I ever come back here, or you go there, we'll make sure to stop by and say hi."
"Ahhhh, how touching. It would make heart break if it wasn't, you know, already broken." A very familiar and creepy voice said. Veemon, Salamon, and I all knew who it was; Skull Satamon.
"Skull Satamon, what are you doing here?" I yelled. I didn't like him in the Digital World, and I didn't like him here. Salamon and Veemon were in a similar mood as they were all prepped up and ready to fight.
"Uh, honey, I think we need to get out of here. I don't know what's going on, but I know a fight when I see one." The father said as he rushed his daughter away from the scene. Skull Satamon looked as if he was going to do something, but it seemed they weren't worth his trouble.
"Simple; to finish what I started. I got news that Azulongmon was going to open a portal, and so I decided to just kill you all before that happens. And since there isn't a Primary Village in this world you'll stay dead. Now then, let's get this over with. Bone Blaster."
A massive blast of lightning shot out of his staff, though we all were able to get out of the way. Anyone who was in the park at that point was making a run for it, but that wasn't an option for us. Instead we all Digivolved into our champion forms; soon Salamon was Gatomon, Veemon was V-dramon, and I was Sangloupmon.
"Sticker Blade" I yelled as I sent hundreds of blades towards Skull Satamon. Sadly all he did was twirl his staff and he effectively blocked them all.
"V-Arrow" V-dramon exclaimed as he sent a blast of energy at him, though he just quickly dodged it was he came up from behind.
"Skull Hammer." Skull Satamon announced as he smashed his staff into V-dramon's head. V-dramon was downed pretty quickly, though Gatomon got a shot of Lightning Paw in before Skull Satamon could react. He was back and up before we knew it, however.
"Ah, the little kitty has claws. Well, I got something better. Bone Crusher."
Another blast of lightning shot out, but this time Gatomon couldn't escape it time. Soon she was down as well, paralyzed from the strike. I stood my ground, but by the way it looked I wasn't going to last to long.
"Thunder Ball." A ball of lightning appeared from the trees, to the surprise of both Skull Satamon and I. It shot the staff out of his hands, though it didn't take long for him to pick it up.
"Well well, who do we have here? If my memory serves your that Impmon, except with a bit of an upgrade. Much better than that time I met you in the woods."
I was confused as to what he was talking about, but it looked as if Impmon (or Wizardmon now) was going to explain it.
"That was a mistake. I was angry and jealous and I made the stupid decision of trusting you. Look," his attention was on us instead of Skull Satamon, "I had made a deal with Skull Satamon to get rid of you all, but I only did it because I was angry and jealous. But once I actually saw him coming after us I felt guilty and realized I was being an idiot. I'm sorry I almost got us killed, but I'm not going to let you all down again. You're my friends and that's final."
The Digivice on my front leg started to glow, and soon a bright light enveloped Wizardmon. And soon as it was gone, so was Wizardmon. Instead there was a much taller wizard in his place. He was much more regal than Wizardmon with his white armor with intricate designs. There were purple coverings and a purple cape as well, and underneath it all was a red clothing. There was a massive purple hat as well, but the most important thing was that big, flaming sword of his. Looking down at my Digivice it read out "Mystimon-Ultimate Level"
"Wizardmon just Digivolved…" I said with a surprise.
Mystimon, however, didn't seem to care much about his new level. Instead, he was focused completely on Skull Satamon, his sword at the ready.
"Skull Satamon, you are going to pay for what you have done to my friends and I. Blast Fire!"
A massive flame was sent towards Skull Satamon, who even with his speed was unable to dodge it. Soon his data began to burn away, and soon the undead Digimon was no more. Mystimon stopped the flames, and instead turned his attention back to us. With a wave of his hand a portal appeared in the ground before he reverted back to Impmon. The rest of us converted to Rookie as well before meeting up in front of the portal.
"Impmon, that was, well, awesome," was the general statement we all made. We had almost completely ignored the part about his betraying us, but we decided to confront it there and now.
"Impmon." I said, though I could see that he was outright depressed
"We heard what you said, I have one thing to say about what you did; don't worry about it. We're all friends, and we are willing to forgive you. Besides, you just paid us back by saving us from Skull Satamon so it's even anyways."
It looked as if what I said cheered him up, but soon Salamon and Veemon were trying to console him as well. Soon he was pushing them back as he tried to speak.
"Okay, okay, I get it. You all forgive me, we're friends, etc. I can't believe that you accepted me so easily. I mean, I almost killed you…
"Shut up about that Impmon." Veemon said, "It doesn't matter now. You just saved us from getting killed by him. We are even. Now then, more importantly, how did you make that portal?"
I had been thinking that too, though I was a bit anxious to get in.
"I didn't actually do it. When I was hit by that light from that device Gazimon had I felt as if there was someone else inside me directing me. He was the one who did it, not me. I did eliminate Skull Satamon though."
"Azulongmon, is there anything you can't do." I said out loud, "I think he was the one that did that. He did say he would open a portal. Guess he just decided to do it through you. Now then, let's get a move on people. We got a world to save."
"Right" The other three said.
The four of us stood over the edge of the portal, and together we jumped in. No matter what dangers awaited us on Server I knew that with my friends by my side we'd get through them all.
Author's Note: Yes, it's amazing, I have one at the end. But there is a reason for this; this is the last chapter of this series. I've been under quite a bit of creative pressure that has caused me to pretty much burn out on this fanfic. I've been very bad at procrastinating on it and the last view chapters I don't think were very good (though I hope this one makes up for that). So instead of forcing myself to right half-hearted chapters I have instead opted to end it on a cliffhanger of sorts and take a break from it. But don't fret my readers I have plans to one day bring this back. I also have plans for fanfics outside of Digimon that I hope to start work on in the near future.
