Three toasts to this glorious path we took!
Session 109
A road paved by the digital queen
They made their way over.
It was an awkward sort of walk, made even more so by Delta's armored vehicle teleporting in.
The survivors of this mess stood at its doors, ready to end this once and for all. There was no common element or unifying theme between them all. They were just a bunch of people who had somehow managed to beat the odds when it seemed impossible.
"Ugh…" Victoria remarked and took a deep breath. While this wasn't quite what the black cat had expected, she wasn't entirely sure. Her gaze refocused on the gathered crowd, searching for any sign of her digimon partners or the children. Eventually, a familiar gray-skinned woman and doll approached, with the four children following right behind. Of course, that still left Kuro Neko and Bastemon.
"There you are, nya!" a voice called out and she turned around, finding Kuro and Bastemon making her way over.
"Good. We're all here." Victoria remarked as some of the other people rearranged themselves into their respective groups. You know... Delta, Alpha, Victoria's group, the digimon and the general stragglers who weren't affiliated to anyone. Yet, there were no sign of Jestery or the lucky ones. One would think she would be here already, especially with Julie around. The lucky ones on the other hand, were a bit of a wild card. Post the events with the angels, no one had really heard from or seen them. The only one confirmed to still be around was Cora, who would occasionally make reference to them being in a better place, one that she would join them at.
But before anyone could ask that question, Julie appeared and flipped them all off.
"I'll make this simple for you morons." the bimbo announced and cracked a smile so fake and plastic that it would make even barbie want to punch her lights out. "Reach the top of my tower and you will get your ending. But I doubt you'll make it."
She then attempted to teleport away, only to be stopped by someone grabbing her skirt.
"Hello mommy." a childish voice announced as the sound of blade piercing flesh filled the air. "I promise to take good care of you."
Everyone's gazes shifted, focusing on some little girl dressed in an orange and blue lolita dress with strawberry blonde hair tied into a pair of large pigtails. A pair of bluish violet stared up towards the victim, filled with the sort of anger one expects out of a child.
"You bitch… You absolute cocksucking assfucking bimboheaded slutty bitch!" Julie screamed and kicked the girl to the ground, proceeding to slam her foot into the girl's skull. "Did you really think you were fooling anyone by impersonation of yours?"
"Who said that I was impersonating anyone?" a voice called out and the little girl reformed, taking on the appearance of a familiar jester.
"Phew." Victoria whispered and made her way over to her daughter, stabbing Julie and following it up with a slap to Jestery.
"Are you sure you want to push your luck, Miss Enoshima?" Jestery remarked and watched her mother digivolve into Selenemon. "Because if you are, we can end this right here and now."
But Julie didn't, choosing instead to just teleport away. Good fucking riddance, if you ask me.
"Language!"
Crap.
Everyone turned around, finding that the dear internet mailing company had not only snuck their way into this mess, but they had brought a quite questionable passenger as well. Said passenger appeared to be a crossdresser in a sailor senshi-style outfit.
"What the fuck over?" Evil TK responded and took a deep breath, more than ready to just be done with this day. But as he did that, a girl holding a knife approached She wasn't anything that special, dressed in a lime green sundress with blonde hair and cyan eyes. A ragdoll of sorts trailed right behind her, resembling a pikachu of sorts. Not that it was mind you, just that it shared a resemblance to one.
"Oh…" the creature remarked and watched the author walk over, dropping a twenty dollar bill in.
"That should cover anything that comes up." he explained, following it up with a deep breath. "I realize that these are not the people you usually deal with, but could you hold off on the whole language thing for the moment?"
"Uh… sure?" the girl answered and made her way back over to a blackgatomon. The author did something similar, choosing to head back over to assistants.
"Mommy!" a voice announced and he stepped to the side, just getting out of the way of the now charging magical girl wannabe. "It's me, Blossom!"
A woman dressed in purple dashed through the crowd, leaving little thought for anyone she may have unintentionally ran over in the process. Which reminds me, can you please take her and the reverse harem back? As nice as it is have a couple more characters here, they seem to bring more trouble than they're good for.
"Uh… sure." the blackgatomon answered and gave a nod. He then dug through his 'pockets', pulling out a ball of some sort and put it somewhere else. Personally, I really don't want to know where it went.
"Hey!" the woman announced as she reached the boy and wrapped her arms around him. "You're alive!"
Blossom wrapped her arms around the slightly taller woman, only for a seal in a dress to just appear.
"You've grown. A lot!" the seal announced and copied his wife, while everyone else debated their own personal opinions on the whole thing. Most of them were just really confused by what was going on, a couple of them thought it was heartwarming and the rest just wanted a sandwich. Not Possibly two sandwiches at that. I'm not entirely certain why they were thinking that, but they were.
"Okay then." a blackgatomon remarks and flings a bunch of balls out, watching them open up. "Ready to do this?"
The creatures in question were mostly human or at least humanoid in appearance. They took the form of a maid, a slut, 'darth vader' an alchemist and an angel dressed in blue. And by angel, I mean one of those robotic ones. Flying about, was a plane mecha and a large chinese-style dragon above them. The girl from earlier copied him and let out a bird made of flames along with a bear on two feet. And while this would be the moment that signaled the start many an analyzer screen, but I'm certain it would be better to at least for those who also fight with lap creatures to get theirs out.
Right on cue, Blossom's mother copied the cat. Compared to the appearance of the seal in a dress, there was at least some sense in them. Or in this case, a butterfly, a bat, a martial artist, another maid, a bug presidential candidate and a floating piece of metal. Her son's team on the other hand, was just a bunch of boys and girls dressed sort of like sailor senshi.
"Boo!" Blossom shouted and began jumping and down in a huff. "I've gotten my ass kicked more times than I can count and I still beat the champion with that team!"
He got a mix of laughter and pointing.
"Aww…" Hera and Death taunted and got a cautious glance from the boy's mom. "Oh, do you have a problem with us?"
"Maybe I do." the woman muttered and took a deep breath, a blue glow temporarily surrounding her body. Her opponents took a step back, pulling their weapons out.
Origin Pulse!
The author stepped out of the way, watching the two assistants get knocked into the tower's wall.
"Well fuck you too!" Hera screamed and got a glare from her master. "What?"
He took a deep breath and shook his head. His attention then turned to those that gathered.
"I'm not good with speeches." the author started. "So I'll keep this short."
He closed his eyes, letting his mind wander back.
"It's been a long road. We have seen cities, forests, schools and far too many order base, but this is it. This tower is where things for not only you end, but for me as well."
He takes another deep breath.
"And that may seem sad, don't be."
His eyes opened back up.
"Sure, this may be the end, but that's alright. We have fought many great battles, had our triumphs and our sorrows, our victories and our defeat. We just have one more hurdle and then we're done. So who's with me!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd, even if they were more forced than anything. All of them (except for the mailing company) wanted to be done with this, to be at some semblance of peace.
"Let's do this."
Notes:
The alternate title for this was 'Five years in the making' & 'Gathering of Heroes'. Mostly because it will be five years to the day that this journey started. But the actual title comes from an unfinished 02xTamers fic I was writing called 'The Digital Queen'. In it, things got weird. Yamaki turned into some lizard thing, Rika was a purple renamon and Chaos was there for some reason.
I bring that up because one of the major events planned for the end was a gathering of all the characters in the fic.

Next time: Let's kick it up... And show them all the things we can do.
