Well, here we are again, with another chapter, and pretty close to the end as well, so we're going to go with a short note. Later.

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon.

Last Time: The Digidestined got the Digimental, and managed to digivolve all of their partners to their Mega level. Now all twelve partners will try to stop Piedmon.

Chapter 29 Endgame (Part 2)

Sora

"I wouldn't assume that I'm finished yet Digidestined!" Piedmon said with a smile as all of our partners lined up opposite the freakish clown. The digimon all charged at pretty much the same moment, all of them shouting or roaring.

"Yea, go Phonixmon!" I shouted, before trying to get a better grip on Tai. The stupid boy had gone and gotten himself hurt once again, though it didn't look as bad as the last time he'd gotten seriously hurt when I wasn't around, however Kari did have to help me keep him on his feet.

Of course, Davis and Matt where hardly better off. Piedmon had done a real number to them while we'd been retrieving the Digimental, but they'd lasted long enough for us to get the Digimental, which meant that we finally had a chance to finish off Piedmon, and get home, finally.

"Sora, why don't you and Kari put me down for now." Tai said a second later, while the Digimon engaged in battle in front of us. "You two don't need to hold me up right now, just find a good rock."

"Ok," I replied, and the three of us awkwardly moved over to one of the rocks that were up here on the summit of the mountain. We slowly lowered him onto the rock, and I sat down next to him, looking over to our partners as they fought Piedmon.

Surprisingly, and despite the fact that there were twelve of them, and one Piedmon, the clown seemed to be holding his own.

"Excalibur!" Seraphimon shouted, and an energy sword extended from his right hand. He charged at Piedmon from one side, while Ophanimon charged at him with her spear from the other. Piedmon pulled out two of his swords to block the attack, and threw both of the Angelic digimon flying away from him.

Before he could attack them though, WarGreymon, Magnamon, and Rosemon charged him, and the four of them exchanged a flurry of blows. Eventually WarGreymon, Magnamon, and Rosemon were all forced away from Piedmon, but almost as soon as they did, someone else attacked.

"Super Electro Shocker!"

"Crimson Flame!"

"Ice Wolf Claw!"

HerculesKabuterimon, Phonixmon, and MetalGarurumon sent their attacks flying at Piedmon, who didn't have the chance to even try and avoid the attacks, which all hit right where he was.

"Alright!" I cheered, hoping that was an end to Piedmon.

"Keep up the attack!" Tai shouted as well, struggling to his feet as Kari and I moved onto either side of him to help.

"Tai?" I asked looking at him. "Don't you think that should have finished him?"

"It should have, but he's tough beyond what should work." Tai replied, and sure enough, as the smoke from the attacks cleared, Piedmon was standing there, only slightly battered.

"Keep up the attack!" WarGreymon shouted, echoing his partner, before all of the digimon jumped forward once again.

"How can he survive all of these attacks?" I asked, looking over towards Izzy.

"I don't know." Izzy replied after a few seconds. "We already know that somehow he's been powered up, but I think we've seriously underestimated just how powered up he is I think."

"Wait, are you saying he still might win?" Kari asked, looking over at Izzy as well. Most of us were looking at the red haired genius.

"No, I don't think he can win against twelve Megas, but anything is possible, and they have to push him." Izzy replied, as another flurry of attacks lit up the battle field.

GrandisKuwagamon, Vikemon, Plesiomon, and Valkyrimon had all hit Piedmon once more with their attacks, and as they backed away from the clown, WarGreymon, Seraphimon, Magnamon, Ophanimon, and MetalGarurumon charged in.

MetalGarurumon fired another volley of missiles, covering the other four as they charged in to attack the clown from four different directions. Piedmon was hard pressed to defend from their attacks, as he only had the two arms for the four opponents.

He swung at WarGreymon, who trapped his sword between his Dramon Destroyers. Piedmon tried to pull it out of WarGreymon's hold, but he didn't let go of it, and Piedmon realized too late that he was completely open.

Seraphimon raised his sword over Piedmon's trapped arm, and swung it down, severing the arm above the elbow. WarGreymon and Piedmon went flying away from each other as nothing was keeping them together anymore.

"YEA!" Tai shouted as the clown went down, minus an arm. "Now that's what I call teamwork!"

"Alright Seraphimon!" T.K. cheered as well from where he was holding up Matt. Despite our cheering all of the digimon rushed in for another attack, firing everything they had right at Piedmon.

I had to cover my eyes from the attacks, as they lit up the entire summit of the mountain. When I could look once more, the mountain was completely wrecked up here on the summit, and Piedmon was still somehow on his feet. His missing arm, and several other parts of him were leaking data, and he was holding his side.

"It's over Piedmon." Seraphimon said as all of our partners surrounded him. He had nowhere to run, and none of our partners were seriously hurt. "You are now going to be deleted for all the pain and suffering you have caused this world again."

"Ha…ha….hahahahahahaha!" Piedmon started laughing as Seraphimon said that, and all of our partners tensed up, I even tensed up, because Piedmon laughing was never a good thing for us.

"You think I'm finished already Seraphimon?" Piedmon asked, looking up at the armored angel. "I'm only getting started!" Piedmon raised his remaining hand towards us, the Digidestined. "Final Spell!"

"Seven Heavens!" Seraphimon called out at the same moment, and the two attacks collided, causing a massive explosion. When it cleared, I could see that Piedmon was down on one knee, and all of our partners were closing in on him.

"It is over Piedmon." Seraphimon said once more as the digimon all got closer to Piedmon, before coming to a halt.

"Ah, I thought you might remember this." Piedmon said with a laugh. I didn't know what he was referring to, but all of our partners started to back away from Piedmon.

What could make them do that when we've finally got him beat? I thought to myself as Piedmon finally came back into view. He was waving around a white cloth in his hand, and my heart stopped for a second.

Memories of watching all of my friends get turned into key chains came back into my mind at an astonishingly fast rate, and I remembered how Piedmon had almost turned defeat into victory the last time we fought him.

"Why are they backing away?" Davis asked, cocking his head from where he was being supported by Ken and Joe. "He looks like he's going to surrender."

"Davis, you remember that story about how Piedmon turned us all into Key Chains?" Joe asked, as we all watched Piedmon walk towards us. Davis nodded his head. "That's how he did it."

"That trick won't work again clown." WarGreymon said, stepping forward. "I'll cut any cloths you try to throw at us to pieces."

"Who said anything about this being for you?" Piedmon asked with a laugh, before he threw the cloth over himself.

"Get him!" Magnamon shouted and all of the digimon rushed forward. Magnamon and WarGreymon reached the cloth the fastest, but even then Piedmon was already gone.

"Damn it!" Tai said as it become obvious that the clown had escaped. "We had him, and he somehow still gets away." I could tell that he was beyond pissed, and to be honest, I was pretty angry as well. I'd wanted to end things here and now, but it looked like we couldn't do that.

"Don't worry Digidestined, I didn't go far!" A voice suddenly said from next to T.K., and I turned in horror to see Piedmon standing there, a smile in his face as he sent T.K. and Matt flying away from him. The horror became even worse as I saw what was flying through the air, as it had been knocked out of T.K.'s hand.

Piedmon reached out a hand, and grabbed the Digimental out of the air, and his smile only grew bigger.

"Now I think we can end this battle." Piedmon said before he started to glow a bright red.

"Everyone, get away from him!" Tai shouted, and no one needed to be told twice as we all scurried away from the transforming clown.

Kari and I helped Tai to get away from the clown, but the three of us couldn't move fast enough to get away from him. I looked back as the red glow disappeared, and Piedmon had reappeared, fully healed.

He also looked different, as all of the color seemed to have been drained from his body, leaving only black and white, as opposed to the ridiculous colors he'd had before.

"Izzy, what just happened?" Tai asked as we all ducked behind some rocks.

"I'm not sure. Piedmon used the Digimental, but he was already a Mega, so I don't know what would have happened." Izzy replied, pulling out his laptop. He typed away at his keyboard for a minute, before his eyes widened in shock.

"What is it Izzy?" I asked, even more concerned than I had been.

"His power level…" Izzy said, looking over at me and the others. "It's off the charts."

"What?" Tai asked looking at Izzy. "How is that possible?"

"Easy Digidestined," Piedmon said, interrupting our conversation. "I've digivolved past the Mega level. I am now a Super Ultimate digimon, ChaosPiedmon!" The clown started to laugh as he said that, even more crazily than before.

"Izzy, what exactly is a Super Ultimate?" Tai asked Izzy. I looked over to where Matt and T.K. had been thrown earlier, and was relieved to see Joe had made it to them.

"I came across the term a few times at Gennai's house." Izzy replied. "It's just as Piedmon said, it's the supposed level beyond Mega, but there has never been a confirmed account of one, at least, that's what Gennai's books said."

"Well, now there has been Digidestined, and just in time for the Final Act!" ChaosPiedmon declared, just as all of our partners rushed at him.

"It doesn't matter what you've decided to call yourself!" Seraphimon declared as he flew towards ChaosPiedmon.

"We'll still rip you apart!" WarGreymon finished for the Angel digimon.

"Oh good, now for some pay back." ChaosPiedmon said, pulling out all of his swords. "Chaos Swords!" The swords flew forward, and knocked our partners right out of the sky. They fell to the ground, crashing hard as they did.

"Do you seriously think you can compete with my power?" ChaosPiedmon asked with a laugh. "I am now the most powerful digimon, ever. You don't stand a chance."

"Oh yea?" A voice called from behind ChaosPiedmon, who turned quickly. "Terra Force!" WarGreymon tossed his attack right at ChaosPiedmon, who simply pointed a hand at it.

"Chaos Destroy!" A green blast of energy shot out from ChaosPiedmon, ripped through WarGreymon's Terra Force, and still hit Tai's partner with enough power to knock him out of the sky.

"WarGreymon!" Tai shouted out as his partner fell out of the sky. At that point the rest of our partners tried attack once more, with much the same results.

"What happened to the Digimental?" Izzy asked, looking around for a second before we all ducked back down behind some cover.

"Izzy, how can you worry about that thing at a time like this?" Mimi asked, crouched down by Matt.

"It might be the only thing that can stop him!" Izzy replied. "We might be able to use it to digivolve our partners to Super Ultimate."

"That would be good, but ChaosPiedmon has the Digimental." T.K. said as he held onto his arm.

"No, he actually dropped it." Cody replied to T.K. "Back over there." I turned to where he had pointed, and it was where he'd digivolved, and where WarGreymon had fallen.

"Ok, we should try and go get it." Davis said, looking around as he did.

"Davis, are you crazy?" Yolei asked, looking at the younger gogglehead. "If we go out there, we'll get blown to tiny bits!"

"If we stay here we'll get blown to tiny bits Yolei." Davis replied, "Our partners don't stand a chance against ChaosPiedmon, unless we can get them to digivolve again."

At that point, HerculesKabuterimon went flying over our hiding place, and I looked out at the battle. Our partners really weren't doing good. Several of them had already reverted to their In-Training form, while the others were getting tossed around like rag dolls.

"Ok, we'll have to pick someone to try and get it." Izzy said, looking around. "Tai, who do you think should go?"

Izzy was met with nothing but silence, and I was surprised. Usually Tai would have already said he was going to get it, and for the rest of us to stay here. I turned to see if he was thinking or something, when I noticed it finally.

Tai wasn't there.

I scrambled to get a good look out, towards where the Digimental was, and sure enough, Tai was already half way there, limping along as he headed for the area.

"That idiot!" I exclaimed loudly, trying to hide the sudden sick feeling in my stomach. I had a really bad feeling about this. Tai managed to get all the way to the area, and started looking around, joined seconds later by WarGreymon, who seemed to be mostly ok.

"AHHHHHHH!" I turned as a sudden scream split the air, just in time to see Ophanimon reverting back into Salamon after a blow from ChaosPiedmon.

"Ah, now all the annoying insects are out of the way." ChaosPiedmon said with a smile, which broke for a second. "Damn, I forgot about the one with the claws. Better go destroy him now."

ChaosPiedmon headed right for where WarGreymon and Tai were still scrambling around, looking for the Digimental.

"Oh, what do we have here, a Digidestined come to die with his digimon?" ChaosPiedmon asked loudly as he finally saw Tai. I couldn't hear the response as they were too far away, but after a few second ChaosPiedmon raised his hands.

I didn't even have time to comprehend what was about to happen before the entire area was covered in a massive explosion from ChaosPiedmon's attack.

I sat there for a second, before exactly what had just happened penetrated through my mind.

"TAI!" Kari shouted next to me, as I tried to say something, but I literally couldn't. No noise came out of my mouth, as ChaosPiedmon emerged from the smoke, a smile on his face.

Tai

I limped through the mostly destroyed terrain around the mountain, trying to get to the Digimental before the new ChaosPiedmon decided that it wasn't something that should be left alone.

I wonder how long it'll take the others to figure out I left as soon as I knew where the Digimental was? I wondered to myself. I was almost amused thinking about it, but then of course they'd all be worried sick about the fact that I was out here, so it wasn't really that funny.

Hopefully none of them would do anything stupid like come after me that would make me dragging myself out here almost pointless. If I'd wanted the others to be in danger I wouldn't have done this, quite obviously.

Now if only I wasn't all busted up again…And what is with that? Do I have some sign on me that says, hey, come injury me, I enjoy it or something? I thought to myself again as I finally got to the area where Piedmon had digivolved.

WarGreymon was struggling to his feet as I got there, since he'd crashed when ChaosPiedmon had attacked him.

"Tai!" He said in surprise as he saw me. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous."

"Well, I couldn't just leave you out here on your own, could I?" I asked, a grin on my face. "And, we need to find the Digimental."

"What? Doesn't ChaosPiedmon have it?" WarGreymon asked, and I could hear the pain in his voice now that he wasn't so surprised.

"No, Izzy said he dropped it somewhere over here, and it's our only chance to stop that clown." I replied.

"Ok then, what are we waiting for?" WarGreymon asked, and I smiled at my partner. Despite the fact that he was heavily injured, and had to be hurting he was still trying to be enthusiastic.

The two of us frantically looked for the little red stone somewhere in the area. You'd expect a glowing red rock to be somewhat easy to find, but this thing wasn't even close to easy to find. We looked around for several minutes with no luck, and I knew we were swiftly running out of time.

Just when things were really looking like we might not spot the stupid rock, I noticed something red sticking out of the ground. Of course, at that moment we were out of time.

"Oh, what do we have here, a Digidestined come to die with his digimon?" ChaosPiedmon asked, startling me as I hadn't even noticed his arrival.

Really, he had to get here now of all times? I thought to myself, cursing my luck.

"Nope, I'm just out here to help kick your ass." I reply. The look on ChaosPiedmon's face was almost priceless, almost.

I really need to work on the whole pissing off the super powerful bad guys when I don't have back up… I thought to myself as ChaosPiedmon regained control of himself.

"Very well Digidestined, I will allow you to be the first to die!" He exclaimed, and I turned as he raised his hand. Now, this wasn't out of straight terror, though I was terrified I like to think I would have looked death in the face as it came, but rather an attempt to live.

I dived back towards the Digimental, pulling out my digivice as I did. I hoped that was the right thing to do, since I'd never done something like it before, but it was the only chance I had to not die. WarGreymon was attempting to dive in front of me, but I knew that was only going to speed up his death unless somehow I could get the Digimental to work.

Everything seemed to slow down as I jumped towards the Digimental, and ChaosPiedmon started his attack.

"Chaos Destroy!" I could feel the heat from the attack, and the entire area was painted in a green light as ChaosPiedmon launched his attack.

I finally seemed to land, right next to the Digimental, with my digivice pointed right at it, and then everything was covered in a blinding light.

When the light faded somewhat I opened my eyes, and couldn't see anything.

Am I dead? I thought for a second before the pain from all of my injuries hitting the ground when I jumped returned, confirming that I was in fact alive.

"TAI!" I heard a blood curdling scream, and had to wince. Since I wasn't dead, Piedmon must have missed.

They probably think I'm dead because it looked like I got hit, and this freakin smoke cloud is here. I thought to myself. I would have shouted back, but I could hardly breathe in all the dust and smoke.

The cloud started to clear, and, let's just say I got a surprising sight. WarGreymon was between me and ChaosPiedmon, which explained how I was still alive, but he was also glowing, a bright orange color, just like my Crest.

"What is this?" ChaosPiedmon exclaimed as he also came into view.

"WarGreymon!" I shouted, concerned that something bad had happened to my partner, but that's when I saw my digivice. The thing was also glowing a bright orange, like it did whenever Agumon digivolved to Mega or Ultimate, but he was already at his highest level, wasn't he?

I looked back at the Digimental, and it was also glowing, though its own red color. There was an intense heat coming from it as it glowed, and then WarGreymon talked.

"WarGreymon, Ultimate Digivolve to!" He disappeared completely into the light, and the light turned into the standard sphere of digivolution.

"What is this!" ChaosPiedmon shouted again, probably even more surprised than I was. Before he could say or do anything else though, the digivolution sphere shattered, and WarGreymon's new form landed between ChaosPiedmon and me.

At first I didn't really notice that he'd changed, because he looked almost the same as WarGreymon did, but as I looked closer I noticed subtle differences, and one large difference. His head was covered by a different helmet, with a different design on it, including a larger center horn, and a V spreading out on its sides. His Brave Shield was replaced by a pair of shells, that look a little like wings. There was a green crystal of sorts on his chest, and his Dramon Destroyers were gone, replaced by wrist bracers of some sort the first half of the big difference. The last, and other half of the big difference, was the large blade that extended from his right wrist bracer, and the other, smaller blade that extended from his left one.

"VictoryGreymon!" he declared, finishing his digivolution.

"Wow…VictoryGreymon?" I asked, looking up at my partner's new form in awe. "AWESOME!" I couldn't help but be a little giddy at how awesome he looked, and the fact that he should be able to fight Piedmon.

"VictoryGreymon, how do you feel?" I called out, not really sure what else I could ask my partner.

"Ready to kick some clown's ass." VictoryGreymon replied, going into a fighting stance.

"Yea, me to!" I declare, and Piedmon laughs once again.

"So you think you have the power to beat me now?" He asked, and brought his hand up again. "Chaos Destroy!"

"Victory Charge!" The two blades shot off of VictoryGreymon's arms, and the smaller blade split apart at the top, and the larger blade merged with it. I hadn't seen it before, but the smaller blade had a hilt that was hidden in VictoryGreymon's bracer, which means that the two combined to form a massive sword. VictoryGreymon used the blade to deflect ChaosPiedmon's attack into the sky.

"What? Impossible!" ChaosPiedmon exclaimed, before VictoryGreymon charged at him.

"Nope, not impossible!" He shouted, before swinging his sword around to hit ChaosPiedmon. ChaosPiedmon barely had time to pull out one of his own swords to block the attack. VictoryGreymon attacked again, swinging his massive weapon around faster than should be possible, and Piedmon had to pull another sword out to deflect that one.

The two then exchanged a flurry of blows, with VictoryGreymon pushing ChaosPiedmon back, despite the fact that ChaosPiedmon had twice as many swords as he did.

Then VictoryGreymon got an opening, knocking away one of ChaosPiedmon's swords, and leaving a deep gash in his chest.

"This is impossible!" ChaosPiedmon exclaimed as VictoryGreymon stepped back for a minute. "I'm the strongest digimon in the world! You will not defeat me!" ChaosPiedmon pulled out another sword, and jumped into the attack, now pushing VictoryGreymon back.

"Hang in there VictoryGreymon!" I exclaimed, trying to encourage my partner, since I couldn't do much else at this point. The two continued to exchange blows, neither one able to gain a significant upper hand over the other one.

"Dramon Breaker!" VictoryGreymon exclaimed, putting all of his power behind an attack, which ChaosPiedmon attempted to block. VictoryGreymon's attack however cut right through his sword. ChaosPiedmon barely managed to avoid getting cut in half, but was able to post a quick counter attack, leaving a gash on VictoryGreymon's left arm.

"VictoryGreymon!" I exclaimed, starting forward, but someone else stopped me. I turned to see a teary eyes Sora standing here, holding my arm. The other Digidestined were all around me now, obviously they'd come over during the fight. Even Matt and T.K. were here.

"Don't go out there." She said, pleading almost. "I can't take the thought of you going out there again."

That stopped me right in my tracks. I hadn't even thought about how the others were feeling at the moment, I was too focused on the battle, and hadn't been thinking about the others.

"Ok, I won't." I replied, stepping back to be next to her. The look of relief on her face was very visible. I looked back towards where VictoryGreymon and ChaosPiedmon were continuing to engage, and again neither digimon could get the upper hand. They were too evenly matched, so it would be the first mistake that lost the battle, and VictoryGreymon had been fighting longer that ChaosPiedmon, if in another form, which meant that he had to be tiring out by this point.

There has to be some way to help him… I thought to myself, looking around for anything, and my eyes found the Digimental, which was once more lying on the ground, forgotten by everyone. I leaned down and picked it up, and then turned to the Digidestined.

"Matt!" I exclaimed, looking over at my blond haired best friend, he looked up as I called his name.

"What Tai?" He asked, and I grinned at him.

"What do you say we find some help for VictoryGreymon?" I asked, tossing the Digimental up into the air. Matt grinned and I tossed him the Digimental. He looked at it for a minute, and then looked back at me.

"Uh, Tai. What exactly do I do with this?" He asked, and I sighed. T.K. luckily was next to him, and showed him exactly what needed to be done. Matt held up his digivice to the stone, and it started to glow.

I looked over to where MetalGarurumon was knocked out on the ground, and he started to glow, an intense blue, just like Matt's Crest. A second later and MetalGarurumon's eyes open, and the digivolution started.

"MetalGarurumon Ultimate Digivolve to!"

Neither of the combatants seemed to notice the digivolution going in behind them, but that would work just fine for us, since that meant ChaosPiedmon wouldn't be expecting this.

MetalGarurumon's new form emerged from the digivolution sphere, and I was struck at how similar it was to his Mega form, just like VictoryGreymon. His claws and nose were now green, and there were several subtly different weapons covering his body, but the biggest difference was the massive cannon on his back.

"ZeedGarurumon!"

That shout gained the attention of VictoryGreymon and ChaosPiedmon, both of whom broke apart as ZeedGarurumon charged at them.

"Zeed Cannon!" The massive cannon on ZeedGarurumon's back unleashed a massive blast of blue energy, which flew right at ChaosPiedmon, who narrowly managed to avoid the attack.

"What is thi…" ChaosPiedmon started to ask, but VictoryGreymon jumped forward once more, swinging his massive sword around to attack him. ChaosPiedmon was forced to jump backwards to avoid the swing, but VictoryGreymon used the flat of his blade to hit him up into the air.

"Blowback Breath!" ZeedGarurumon sprayed a grey mist at ChaosPiedmon, which exploded when it came into contact with him.

"Argh!" ChaosPiedmon shouted as he fell out of the sky, and landed on his back.

"Alright! Finish him off!" I cheered as Matt and I's partners proceeded to thrash the clown again.

ChaosPiedmon avoided another swing from VictoryGreymon, only to get blasted by ZeedGarurumon. It was their classic strategy. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon had almost been designed as compliments to one another, with WarGreymon specializing in close quarters battle, while MetalGarurumon specialized in long ranged combat. The two had complimented each other perfectly, and worked out a strategy designed to maximize their strength of working together. As VictoryGreymon and ZeedGarurumon they had the exact same strengths, and even more power, making their strategy that more effective.

ChaosPiedmon jumped away from his two opponents, breathing hard, and bleeding data from a number of wounds.

"This…is…impossible…" The clown breathed as he faced our partners. "You…cannot…defeat….me."

"Really? Because we've done it before." Matt said, finally standing on his own.

"And if you ever try to come back, we'll take you down again." I added, and stared down the clown once more. "Now I think it's time you went away. Guys?" I turned to VictoryGreymon and ZeedGarurumon as I said this, and the two of them nodded.

"Right!" The said together, and VictoryGreymon jumped right at ChaosPiedmon. The clown held up his swords to block the blow he was expecting, but VictoryGreymon wasn't aiming for his head or body.

"AARRGGHH!" ChaosPiedmon screamed as VictoryGreymon drove his sword into his foot.

"Enjoy being deleted!" VictoryGreymon said, before jumping away from ChaosPiedmon, his sword still in his foot.

"What?" ChaosPiedmon asked as VictoryGreymon retreated.

"Full Metal Blaze!" ChaosPiedmon looked up at ZeedGarurumon, who had every single one of the gunports on his body open. Dozens of missiles and energy blasts, including the massive Zeed Cannon, fired right at ChaosPiedmon.

The clown attempted to jump away, but he was trapped by VictoryGreymon's sword, which pinned his foot to the ground.

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!" He shouted as the blasts hit him.

I watched, covering my eyes, as the blasts hit, creating the latest biggest explosion I'd ever seen. When the smoke and dust from the explosion settled, there was hardly any of ChaosPiedmon left. We all watched as his chest finished dissolving into data.

It was finally done.

~Chapter End~

Well, Piedmon is finally gone, and yes, he is gone now, there will not be a reviving for him. Anyways, hoped you enjoyed this last official chapter of How Far We've Come, and don't forget to read the Epilogue that's out!

Review Replies:

Matani: I thought it was weird as well, and didn't make sense since they have Ophanimon, and I never really liked Magnadramon anyways, so I went with this, and of course! And was that a bit closer to what you expected? Last chapter was supposed to end at this one's half way point, but I changed it around because this works better. THANKS!

A Dream Worth Fighting For: It was pretty much, until off course someone decided to drop the Digimental…and THANK you so much! That makes me feel a bit happier! And good luck with that!

Appealtoreason: …SuperAwesomeAppealToReasonMon? Where'd you come up with that? Lol

PrincessOfDestiny14:Exactly, that was my logic with that whole situation. And good to know, thanks for the info!

TaioraWarrior: Did you really think they could beat them without me making WarGreymon even more awesome? And I'm glad you enjoyed that. And well, yea, but that would have been a little hard. And I'm assuming from the fact that you actually gave me 5 seconds of silence that you were actually serious, in which case, HOW CAN YOU LIKE THE FREAKIN RANDOM DRAGON MORE THAN THE AWESOME ANGEL! And yes, you do need to post, even if only to finish your current stories, like seriously.

Asdf: Well, I'm glad that you liked it, even if I didn't think it was that awesome of a chapter. Thanks again, and enjoy this one.

Supershooter: Yea…it's really weird. You'll see this again in the Epilogue, but I've been working on this story, and it's prequel, for over a year now, and now that I'm done, it's…weird. And of course. Tai and Sora was always planned for the end!

Ezio Uchiha: Well, I'm glad you really enjoyed it! And how did you like the end there? Good?

TheOtherGuy4544: And here we go again…Review Reply SUPER POWERS ACTIVATE! For old time sake. And yea, I have very much the same problem when I started writing the chapter. And it really does, doesn't it. Well, the Digidestined never went to Devimon's base, cause, IT'S DEVIMON'S BASE! Who in their right mind would go there? And the digital world has been reborn at least twice since Devimon inhabited the place, and he didn't build it, so if everything went back to how it was, it wouldn't be corrupted. I mean seriously, I mentioned half of that in the story, and the other half is common knowledge, think before complaining. Izzy's a genius, I figure he can have ridiculous photographic memory enough to remember that. And I'm going to ignore the last few sentences, since you let your desire to kill Yolei override your common sense (which is understandable). Well, that would be because it was action, I've done that a lot, and in all honesty, prefer writing as the guys, cause they do more cool stuff/kick more ass, and I'm a guy, so I get them more. And yes, that is the plan in general. And there is no such thing as over kill, seriously. And as you saw, it was anything but overkill. And the adverse effects for Tai…Well, he had them at the mural, because they were of him, and brought back memories that he had suppressed. I figure that messes with the mind. The Digimental however, isn't quite as memory jogging, and he's in the heat of battle, he's not thinking about what it is, only what it can do, so get over it. If you behave I'll have him flip out in the eventual sequel over it. Point out mistakes if you're going to complain, telling me about them does next to nothing. And get over it. I didn't want to bore everyone with describing digimon they would still have to look up to really visualize. Seriously, if I'd described them you'd probably be bitching about how much time I wasted doing that…and I didn't rush the chapter. In fact, I spent so much I time on it, I put parts I'd planned for it into this chapter. So there.
