Chapter 13: The End is Near

-New York City-

"Dear come quickly!" Keisuke Tachikawa come running to the couch where his was watching the news.

"Breaking news! This just in monsters are appearing all over the world but mostly in Tokyo, Japan." The news reporter was at the harbor where the battle between the digidestin and Marinedevimon was taking place. Suddenly, Lilymon a pink fairy-like digimon flew across the tv screen.

"Did you see that Satoe?" Mr. Tachikawa looked at his wife to see if she had noticed Lilymon as well.

She was quiet a few moments before she spoke. "Yes Keisuke I did. That's the digi...monster thing that's always around our Mimi!"

"Satoe I know where to look for our daughter now." Satoe Tachikawa nodded at her husband's words.

The couple quickly got up and headed to their bedroom to begin packing. They were going to Japan, the place they had left all those years ago to escape digimon attacks in hopes of finding their daughter.

-Odaiba, Japan-

Outside the Kamiya's apartment building the remaining digidestin split off into their separate groups. The newer digidestin with Izzy to guide them and the remaining original in the other.

"Remember we are meeting at the base of Tokyo Tower afterwards." Everyone nodded and Tai turned to Davis. "Davis you've been the leader of the digidestin before so I don't have to tell you what to do. Just don't do anything reckless." Davis just stood there speakless.

"I'll keep him in shape Tai. You don't have to worry about Davis messing up the fate of the world." Yolei smiled and everyone laughed at her joke before they parted.

-Tokyo Bay-

Crowds of people were running and screaming trying to escape the giant squid like monster. It was destroying everything in its path. The digidestin tried to fight their way through to the harbor but with no luck.

"There's has to be an easier way." Mimi whined

"Leave everything up to Biyomon and I." Sora said before the two of them run into a near by alley.

Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon

"Everyone climb on!"

Birdramon took off and flew over the mass crowds of people fleeing the harbor. The sight of Birdramon caused more panic as people began to scream and push harder to escape the new monster.

Mimi was unusually quiet the entire ride as she had a sinking feeling her nightmare was coming true. However, these thoughts were quickly interrupted by Tai.

"Alright everyone we need to finish this quickly. Marinedevimon is not our main enemy Daemon is. Our digimon still need strength to fight him afterwards."

Joe turned to Gomamon and without speaking a word they understood each other.

Gomamon digivolve to Ikkakumon

Ikkakumon turned towards the enemy and shot.

Harpoon Torpedo. The attack was a direct hit but when the smoke cleared they realized it had no effect. Marinedevimon came towards Ikkakumon.

"Haha that tickles. You call that an attack you giant fir bag." Marinedevimon wrapped his tenticles around Ikkakumon and dragged both of them beneath the waves.

"Ikkakumion no!" Joe watched helplessly from the shore.

"I have to help him." Joe was about to jump in the bay but Mimi stopped him. Her eyes were beginning to form in her eyes. "Joe don't go. I can't bare to almost lose you again." He kissed her lips gently before speaking. "You know I have to help Ikkakumon and I promise nothing will happen to me. I love you Mimi and I'll come back to you." With these words he jumped into the bay and began to swim towards the battle.

Palmon digivolve to Togemon

"Togemon let that ugly squid digimon have it!"

Needle Spray. Millions of sharp needles began to fly into the air but none were able to reach Marinedevimon.

"We have to get closer" Sora said.

"Alright Matt and I will get ours to warp digivolve"

"Tai no! You guys should save your strength for Daemon. Mimi and I will go help Joe out."

"Sora I can't let you go alone. I love you." She smiled at Tai before kissing him. "I'll be alright, I have Birdramon to protect me"

He nodded before releasing her from his grip.

Birdramon digivolve to Garudamon

Togemon digivolve to Lilymon

Sora and Mimi climbed onto Garudamon's back. Lilymon flew besides them as they made their way towards where they last saw Marinedevimon and Ikkakumon.

Joe hated to leave Mimi and make her worry but he had to help Ikkakumon. The water was cold but his body quickly got use to it. He had gotten stronger and healthier since his first adventure in the digital world. He had begun to work out to impress Mimi but it was really paying off now. His powerful strokes were bringing him closer to his dear friend in danger.

Half way across the bay Joe heard a faint needle spray. Quickly he dove under the water and began to swim faster to avoid Togemon's attack. He could hear the splash behind him as tiny sharp needles hit the water.

Mimi was frantically searching for Joe in the water. She prayed none of Togemon's needle spray had hit him. She couldn't bare to almost lose him again, she just had to find him. Lilymon was looking as well.

"Mimi look!" Lilymon cried

Mimi looked down and saw Joe. Her heart leapt for Joe. Garudamon moved down towards the water, Mimi and Sora lifted him out.

"We have to warm him up quickly!" Mimi was so worried as Joe was beginning to make the color of his hair. Sora pulled a blanket out but she knew it wouldn't be good enough for long.

Ikkakumon and MarineDevimon emerged from beneath the waves. Joe had just enough strength left for Ikkakumon to digivolve before going unconious in Mimi's arms.

Ikkakumon digivolve to Zudomon

Zudomon was stronger than MarineDevimon now. He began to drive the other digimon towards the shoreline, Lilymon and Garudamon followed. Hammer Boomerang. Zudomon's hammer hit their enemy making him unaware for a few seconds. That was all the time the digidestin needed to win this battle.

"Everyone together now!"

Vulcan's Hammer

Wing Blade

Flower Cannon

The three attacks combined together and spirled towards MarineDevimon. It hit the evil digimon turning him into millions of pieces of data.

Everyone headed back to shore and waited for Joe to come to. Mimi had secretly packed spared clothes for him so Matt and Tai changed him into the dry pair. It did not take long after that for him to wake up. When his eyes finally opened he was surronded by realived faces.

"Joe you had us scared!" His digimon partner, Gomamon said before jumping in his arms

"I'm sorry everyone!" Joe was looking at Mimi who was beginning to cry. "I'm sorry Meems. Please don't cry!"

"Oh Joe!" Mimi said before hugging him tightly. "I was so worried I was gonna lose you. Never do that again!"

"I promise Mimi!" They kissed while everyone got ready to head towards Tokyo Tower and their battle with Daemon.
