With Daemon finally removed from the Digital World, the Digidestined, Tamers and Legendary Warriors, using what energy they could to achieve a Digital form to allow them to escape the Dark Area, returned to the surface where all looked around, smiling to see the darkness Daemon had spread disappearing.
"It's finally over. The Digital World is free from the power of Daemon." Koji said, glad to see he, along with the others had stopped the darkness once again.
Takuya nodded in reply, smiling as he put his arm around Zoe's waist, holding the blonde close to him as he then said. "We couldn't have done it without our friend's help."
With that said, continuing to embrace Zoe, the Warrior of Wind more than happy to be in Takuya's arms, the brunette then looked at his friends and at Ingrid, where he then added. "And thanks to you we never gave up."
Ingrid smiled, before she joined Takuya and Zoe, hugging the pair, before giving a hug to each member of the three heroic groups, even managing to hug Rika, who, to their surprise, smiled and hugged her back.
"Thank you. Thank you all." Ingrid said, breaking her embrace from Rika, who smiled and said, teasing a little. "You're not bad yourself, for the daughter of a Gogglehead."
"Hey!" Takuya called in reply, a little offended, while the team started to laugh.
But the laugher then died down when Tommy noticed a portal appear a few feet from them.
"Here's our ride." He informed, entering the portal and heading back to Ophanimon's castle, closely followed by the Digidestined, the Digimon Tamers and most of the Legendary Warriors, minus Koichi and Amy, who stayed back for a moment, wanting to clear one thing up.
"Amy, why did you kiss me before?" Koichi asked, Amy blushing but put her heart on the line as she gave her answer.
"Because I really like you. You have always been nice to me and looked out for me. And while I thought I liked Takuya, after giving it more depth, I realized just how much you mean to me." Amy replied, before saying. "I... I love you, Koichi Komura."
From her confession, Amy then fell silent, unsure what Koichi would say, not caring if it was good or bad, so long as she was able to say how she felt about the Legendary Warrior of Darkness was all that mattered to her.
In reply, Koichi put his hand on her shoulder, making her look at him as he told her. "I know you used to have feelings for Takuya, but after Ingrid came along and we saw the video from her S-Tector showing Takuya and Zoe were married, I felt sad for you, I wanted to be there for you. And after the battle with Sakkakumon, freeing your brother, when I saw you happy it made me happy as well. Right there, it was when I started to have feelings for you. I just didn't know what to do so I never acted on them."
From Koichi's confession, knowing that he cared for her as she did him, Amy smiled as she closed the gap in between them, claiming Koichi's lips in a loving kiss, which surprised the Wielder of Darkness at first, before closing his eyes and returning the kiss, making Amy blush and moan in Koichi's mouth
And after the pair broke from the kiss, both stared at each other like Takuya and Zoe now looked upon the other, with nothing but love.
"As much as I was enjoying that, I think the others will start to wonder where we are." Koichi pointed out, breaking the kiss, much to Amy's disappointment..
"You're right." She replied, deciding to return to Ophanimon's castle, taking Koichi's hand as both entered the portal.
But as they entered, Amy smiled as she thought. 'And we can always pick up from where we left later.'
-Ophanimon's castle-
After the heroes and heroines got back to the castle, the Digidestined, Takato and Rika were all happy to be reunited with their Digimon partners, happily conversing amongst their Digimon, while the Legendary Warriors all watched on with smiles.
"You have all done well." Ophanimon spoke up, causing all to look at her and saw the Celestial Digimon smiling with pride at them all, where she then said. "Not only have you saved the Digital World once again, but you have ensured a better future, not just for us, but also for Ingrid."
"And with your adventure at an end, it is time to say farewell once again." Seraphimon informed.
And while all were a little saddened at such information, the Digimon, Digidestined, Tamers and Legendary Warriors knew they couldn't stay in the Digital World forever, before they could only watch on as Seraphimon used his energy to open up a new portal, showing inside was Ingrid's timeline.
However, looking inside, Ingrid felt a sense of joy at the sight, no longer was there darkness in the sky, it was back to a beautiful and sunny filled day, which shone upon the beautiful city, which was filled with majestic buildings and amazing plant life.
The dark Digimon that had filled the area, attacking and destroying all around them had gone, replaced with humans and Digimon working alongside one another in their everyday lives.
And looking close, Ingrid smiled when she saw her parents, with Takuya and Zoe both amazed to see themselves in the future.
Takuya's body and muscles had gotten bigger, his brown hair had changed in style slightly and while he wore a suit, he still held the same fired up and determined spirit he always had.
And with the changes in Takuya, Zoe noticed her changes, seeing she would become a stunning woman of great beauty, with blonde hair that flowed freely down her back, an amazing body that was covered in a stunning purple dress, while a smile adorned her face, one that showed her continued love for her husband and daughter.
"Ingrid?" The future Takuya then called, looking for the girl, them able to see the future, but the future unable to see them.
"Ingrid, where did you run off to? I have one last gift for you." The brunette then called, holding out his goggles, making Ingrid smile at the realization of what day it was in the future.
It was her birthday.
"Well what are you waiting for?" The present Takuya then asked with a smile, expecting Ingrid to rush off and reunite with her parents, only he was taken by surprise when she ran up and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you for everything you did for me, daddy." Ingrid said, tearing up a little, but smiling as she went on to say. "And thank you for everything you will do for me."
"It was my pleasure." Takuya replied softly as he returned the embrace, a great part of him sad that he wouldn't be able to see Ingrid, but knew in a couple of years, she would be born and alongside Zoe, they would be a happy family.
Zoe got down to her knees, same height of Ingrid, where she looked at her daughter, tearing up a little bit, but smiled and said. "We are all happy to have met you. And thanks to you, you made me and your daddy happy to know that we will be together forever, and with a beautiful daughter. We love you, sweetheart."
With that said, Zoe gave Ingrid a kiss on her forehead, while still tearing up, for it was hard to say goodbye.
"This is beautiful." Neemon commented, wiping his eyes clear of tears with a pink cloth, about to blow his nose on it, but stopped when Bokomon yelled at him.
"Neemon! My pants were not made for that!" He scolded, grabbing the band of Neemon's pants and snapping them, causing Neemon to yelp at the pain.
After the three managed to finally part, Takuya and Zoe watched on as Ingrid made her way into the portal, approaching the future forms of the Wielder of Flame and the Wielder of Wind, both smiled to see their daughter, but more so when she hugged them.
And with Ingrid back in her right time, the portal slowly closed behind her, which caused Zoe to wrap her arms around Takuya, holding him close, both saddened to see Ingrid gone.
"I can understand losing those you love." Ophanimon interrupted, looking upon the heroes and heroines as she said. "All of you have become very deer to me. And as much as I wish you could stay, you all have your own parents and loved ones to return to."
"Neemon, Bokomon, please escort Takuya and his friends back to the Village of Flames." Seraphimon requested, getting complete cooperation from the pair.
"We will ensure that the Digidestined and the Digimon Tamers are returned to their rightful eras with no troubles." Lucemon then said, using his great powers over light and darkness to alter the very fabric of space and time, forming two orbs in his hands, which then expanded into two separate portals, the first showing the scenery of the streets of Odaiba, the second the park of Shinjuku.
As both teams began to head toward their respective portals, Takato and Rika looked at Tai, Agumon and the rest of the Digidestined.
"It was an honor fighting alongside the three of you." Takato commented, having to confess. "Though it kinda sucks that we couldn't meet the rest of the Digidestined."
"We feel the same way. I'm sure they all would've been glad to have met you." Sora said in reply, getting a nod from Biyomon, just before Tai held his arm out and shook Takato's hand, Agumon mimicking Tai's actions as he shook Guilmon's claw, while Davis, Kari, Matt, Veemon, Gatomon and Gabumon all smiled.
And after they said their goodbyes, the Digidestined and the Digimon Tamers entered their portals, returning to Odaiba and Shinjuku, knowing they would have many questions from their friends, but would be more than happy to answer.
-Meanwhile-
With the guidance of Neemon and Bokomon, Takuya and the other Legendary Warriors had finally made their way back to the Village of Flame, back to the train station, where a Tarilmon was already waiting for them.
"Next stop, the Real World!" It called, opening the doors to its cabins and allowing the Legendary Warriors inside, while Bokomon and Neemon stood a few feet back as both waved away, saying their final farewells to their friends.
"Bye bye." Neemon said, continuing to smile and wave.
"Goodbye young warriors. Thank you for saving the Digital World again. Take care." Bokomon added, he too continuing to wave as the Legendary Warriors all boarded the Trailmon, waving from the windows as it began to take its leave and made its way out of the Digital World and back to Shibuya.
-Inside of Trailmon carts-
As the sight of Bokomon, Neemon, the Village of Flames and, eventually, the Digital World began to fade into the distance, the Legendary Warriors took their seats, with Takuya and Zoe sitting aside the other, as did Amy and Koichi.
JP took a window seat beside Koji, Tommy sat in the middle of Fred and Robbie, while Bobbie smiled as he had a whole seat to himself, stretching his legs out and relaxing.
Robbie was looking at the sky, taking in the scenery, before the Trailmon went into the tunnel, the connection between the Digital World and Real World, he turned to look at his sister, smiling at her, before he noticed she was holding Koichi's hand.
"Umm... Amy, why are you holding hands with koichi? I thought you liked Takuya." Robbie questioned, which made Fred and Bobbie notice and look at the new pair with equal curiosity.
After few minutes, Amy explained everything to her big brother and his friends, which caused the three to nod in understanding, just before Robbie turned and glared at Koichi.
"You better take good care of my little sister. If I find out you hurt her feelings, you will be sorry." Robbie said, his overprotectiveness caused Amy to sigh, embarrassed.
Everyone started to laugh, with Koichi looking like he was going faint in few seconds.
However, everyone broke from the moment as their pockets started to glow, causing all to reach in and pull out their S-Tectors, which began to turn back to their phones, where Takuya then looked at his friends and said. "Looks like our journey has ended, but we made new friends and had one great adventure."
The brunette then smiled as he looked at Zoe, holding her hand as she added. "And we met our future daughter. How many people can say that has happened to them?"
With Zoe's words, the atmosphere in the cart died down as the Legendary Warriors waited to return home, looking forward to getting back to their normal lives and looking forward to what other surprises the future had for them.
And while none were sure if they would ever be needed in the Digital World, they wouldn't hesitate for a second to return.
