The 8 Digi-destined and the 9 Digimon prepare to have their final confrontation with Diaboromon. Kids from all over the world are sending their support via email while watching in awe. Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, T.K and Kari pray for their respective Digimon's safety, especially since they got injured and mangled at the hands of Diaboromon last time. If they don't win then in about 6 minutes Odaiba and Colorado are gonna get blown up by a nuclear missile.
After traveling through the tunnel, WarGreymon and the other Digimon finally arrive in a huge room. Their worst fears were confirmed because WarGreymon, ShineGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, Zudomon, Lillymon, MagnaAngemon and Angewomon are faced with millions and millions of Diaboromon who're crawling all over the room repeatedly saying "don't interfere."
Complete horror fills the Digidestined at the sight of what they're facing on screen and the Digimon float in front of their respective partners. They knew Diaboromon made so many copies of himself but they didn't think it'd be this much.
Sora: This can't be real…can it?
Kari: There are so many of them, it's a swarm!
Matt: How many copies of Diaboramon are there now?
Mimi: Joe, you're the math expert, any ideas?
Joe: Not a clue, Izzy and I lost track while ago.
Izzy: But it's gotta be well over a million.
T.K: Or maybe even a billion.
Tai: And we have to find the real one among all of this?
The swarm stop and fire their attacks. It's now raining Web Wreckers and the Digimon do their best to evade as swiftly as they could with incredible dexterity but unfortunately the emails take their toll once again plus there are too many bullets to dodge. Even worse is that Zudomon, Garudamon and MegaKabuterimon are bigger targets.
Zudomon is the first to get hit and he screams in pain and anguish as the bullets rain down on him.
Joe No!
MegaKabuterimon is the next to get hit and his shell is unable to protect him. He repeatedly shouts in pain and gets covered in smoke as well.
Izzy: MegaKabuterimon!
Garudamon screams in pain as she gets pelted with the bullets and is unable to move faster to due to the emails.
Sora: Garudamon!
MagnaAngemon and Angewomon work together to dodge the incoming attacks but even that's not enough and they get pelted to, causing them to scream in pain as well.
TK/Kari: MagnaAngemon/Angewomon!
Being smaller, Lillymon is finding a bit easier to dodge brings out her flower gun but she yelps in pain when it's blown away by the bullets. Soon a lot of bullets plummet on her and she screams in absolute agony.
Mimi: Lillymon!
Soon MetalGarurumon gets hit by multiple bullets and he shouts in pain and anguish.
Matt: MetalGarurumon!
Tai: No! Tai yells out in horror when WarGreymon gets pulverized by the shower of bullets as well.
ShineGreymon was struck down by the bullets.
TK: WarGreymon's slowing down again!
Mimi: Not just him! All the Digimon that are partnered with everyone at Tai's house are slowing down like before!
The reason for that is on Izzy's laptop right now.
Izzy: It's because of all the emails; they're coming in faster than ever! They're slowing down the processing speed even more!
The Digimon are repeatedly pelted and get covered in a cloud of smoke that gets bigger with each hit.
Tai: They're sitting ducks out there!
Kari desperately shakes Izzy in panic.
Kari: Do something! They're getting hit real badly! Our Digimon are gonna die!
Izzy clearly doesn't know what to do and even speaks to his laptop as he types something in.
Izzy: Please guys, stop writing! I know your intentions are good but you're really hurting our cause; your emails are putting our Digimon in danger!
Kari is seriously unable to handle the sheer brutality of what she is witnessing. She wells up with more tears and begins crying.
Kari: Please… She digs her fingers into her hair. STOOOOOOP!
Too late, the Diaboromon stop firing shots and the 9 Digimon are engulfed in smoke.
The kids went silent and all each of them could give off was a gasp when they see that their respective partners were torn to shreds and unmoving. Tai says only one name.
Tai: WarGreymon…
This looks like the end for their Digimon partners, from the way it looks it seems they've…died. Tai slowly holds out his hands and begin reaching out for the screen, for WarGreymon.
Tai: WarGreymon…I've got to help…
(5 minutes)
Tai: There must…be a way…somehow…
Seconds later, Yuuko enters the room.
Yuuko: More juice anyone? I just squeezed some onions.
The kids were deathly silent and just stared into the screen. Even Izzy stares at it, not paying attention to the emails.
Yuuko: Oops, I'll just leave the 5 of you alone. She comes back in when she notices there aren't 5 in the room. Wait a minute! Where did Tai go?
The answer to that question is simple and amazing. Tai had ended up inside the internet as he reached out for WarGreymon. He grabs onto his partner and attempts to wake him up.
Kari (Narration): Nobody knows how but Tai's bond with WarGreymon was so strong, Tai himself became digital.
Tai: WarGreymon…I'm here.
Tai's not alone. Matt has also entered the internet as well and is attempting to reach out to the injured MetalGarurumon.
Matt: MetalGarurumon… Matt grabs onto his partner. Wake up, don't quit now, why won't he answer me Tai?
Tai: Keep trying Matt!
Ryu: ShineGreymon.
All the other kids soon arrive in the internet to be there for their Digimon. Sora floats down to Garudamon's face.
Sora: Garudamon…please, wake up…I'm here for you…Tears stream down her face.
Izzy floats down to MegaKabuterimon whose horn seems to be completely cut off.
Izzy: MegaKabuterimon…come on…open your eyes pal…it's me, Izzy.
Joe floats down to Zudomon whose horn has also been cut off.
Joe: Zudomon…come on, old buddy…get up…you can't give up.
Mimi floats down to Lillymon who's more battered up than ever and her wings are completely torn to pieces. She grabs onto her and lifts her up to her face.
Mimi: Lillymon…please…don't leave me…you're my best friend…I've waited 7 months to see you again…I don't wanna lose you. Lillymon is still unmoving, causing Mimi to cry hysterically and pull the fallen fairy in for a hug.
TK floats down to the injured MagnaAngemon whose entire helmet is gone and his wings are in feathers.
TK: MagnaAngemon…He touches his face. Come on, say something. I'm not leaving you. Don't give up. I'm not gonna lose you again, I refuse to lose you again to an evil Digimon.
Kari floats down to the injured Angewomon whose helmet is gone and for the first time her face can be seen. Her wings are completely gone.
Kari: Angewomon…She touches and rubs her partner's face. Angewomon…it's gonna be okay…I'm here for you…so please wake up…I don't want to see you go like Wizardmon…
Tai continues reaching out to WarGreymon.
Tai: WarGreymon…listen, I don't have a whistle to wake you but I want you to know you're not alone, okay. And the mail keeps coming, it won't stop. Kids from all over the world are writing to you; they need your help; you're the only one who can do it. Feel their hope, feel their strength.
Tai seems to have gotten through to the broken WarGreymon because he coughs and speaks as his eyes glow with new energy.
WarGreymon: I…feel them.
MetalGarurumon's eyes glow too.
MetalGarurumon: So do I.
ShineGreymon: Me too.
Suddenly emails of millions of kids around the world surround them the Digi-destined and Digimon on all sides WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon each growl with new life as they begin to grow larger and change shape. WarGreymon's entire body except for his helmet vanishes and is converted into energy that goes inside it. Seconds later a strange arm comes out. The same process happens for MetalGarurumon. His body is converted into energy and goes inside his helmet and then a strange arm comes out.
The hopes and wishes of kids all around the world come out of the emails and flood the area the two Mega level Digimon were and as a result a bright green light begins to take shape.
Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, TK and Kari all watch in complete shock and awe at this awesome sight, particularly TK and Kari.
Even the people in the barber shop are watching this scene in awe.

Even the people in the barber shop are watching this scene in awe.
TK: They've combined.
The Diaboromon are all growling in fear of what they're seeing. The Digi-destined continue to watch in awe as Tai, Matt and their Digimon are in enveloped in an egg of light.
Joe: This is fantastic!
Sora: Tai…WarGreymon…
Mimi: Matt…MetalGarurumon…
The egg begins to diminish and so do the emails to reveal a brand new Digimon with his arms crossed and covering his face.
Kari: Part WarGreymon!
TK: Part MetalGarurumon!
Izzy: They fused together to become...
OMNIMON! The new Digimon says his name out loud and fully reveals himself. His eyes spark open with new life and Tai and Matt on both his shoulders.
The new Digimon is a white, bipedal knight with blue eyes and spikes on his head and back. He wears a large white cape with red interior that reaches down to his ankles. It has the heads of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon for its hands and his shoulders are emblazoned with the Crest of Courage and Friendship. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon have fused together to form one of the most powerful royal knights. It's the legendary Omnimon.
Ryu: I'm up next. Charge, D.N.A Burst Mode!
ShineGreymon: ShineGreymon Burst Mode!
More light radiates from his body and engulfs the 6 Ultimate level Digimon, restoring them to their former glory before Diaboromon broke them and surrounding them in a gold aura.
Izzy: Omnimon is healing and restoring our Digimon.
Kari: Amazing.
Mimi who was hugging her partner earlier feels arms wrapped around her. It is revealed to be Lilymon and Mimi is feeling a mixture of shock and happiness.
Mimi: Lillymon!
Lillymon: Lillymon smiles and giggles. I've been waiting to see you in person again, for a long time.
Mimi sniffles and hugs onto her partner.
One by one, all the Digimon are healed and smile at their human partners.
Izzy: MegaKabuterimon!
Joe: Zudomon!
TK: MagnaAngemon!
Sora: Garudamon!
Kari: Angewomon!
The 6 Ultimate level Digimon become surrounded in a gold aura and their entire bodies and clothing have turned gold, amazing the kids.
Sora: Izzy, our Digimon look different!
Joe: Yeah, they're solid gold.
Kari: It's really pretty.
Izzy: Omnimon must've done more than restore our Digimon. He's powered them all up.
All the Digimon then turn to Omnimon in awe.
Garudamon & Angewomon: WarGreymon?
Lillymon & MagnaAngemon: MetalGarurumon?
Omnimon turns his head and speaks.
Omnimon: I am not WarGreymon or MetalGarurumon, I'm Omnimon. He turns back to the swarm of opponents. It's over Diaboromon; I've come for you!
Afraid and panicky, the Diaboromon blast millions of concentrated streams of fire to truly kill his opponent once and for all. Their fire is entirely focused on Omnimon.
TK & Kari: Brother!
Sora & Mimi: Tai/Matt!
Omnimon didn't move an inch. He just stood there calmly waiting and when the moment was right he made his move.
Izzy: Omnimon: TRANSCENDENT SWORD! A long sword with engravings comes out of the WarGreymon head. The streams of bullets get closer.
Izzy & Joe: Hurry!
Omnimon reels his sword back and gives it a powerful swing at the last moment. What happened next amazed everyone.
Let's kick it on
Omnimon deflects every single blast, destroying thousands of Diaboromon in the process.
Digi-destined: Whoa!
(3 minutes)
The computer shows thousands of smaller Diaboromon disappearing.
Explosions occur all around the room and the Ultimate level prepare to get their revenge as their partners ride on them.
Garudamon: Wing Blade!
Garudamon launches a flaming bird but these flames are gold as a result of the power-up given by Omnimon. The flaming bird explodes on the Diaboramons, destroying more of them.
MegaKabuterimon: Time for payback, Horn Buster!
MegaKabuterimon blasts out a gold electrical energy beam that destroys many more of the copies.
Zudomon: Vulcan's Hammer!
Zudomon's hammer glows with power and he throws it like a boomerang and when the hammer impacts, it explodes on more copies of the virus.
Lillymon: Now it's my turn! Flower Cannon!
Lillymon brings out her flower gun and blasts powerful yellow shell that engulfs more of the copies of Diaboromon.
MagnaAngemon: Gate of Destiny!
MagnaAngemon's blade is now gold and he traces a circle of light that becomes a gate. It opens up and blasts out a gold beam of energy, destroying thousands of them.
Angewomon: Heaven's Charm!
Angewomon summons a deadly golden cross that envelops more Diaboromon. Now there were explosions all around the room.
The rest of the millions of copies that were still around are in panicked state as Omnimon prepares to finish it all off. A large cannon comes out of the Garurumon head
Omnimon: SUPREME CANNON! He takes aim and blasts out an incredible shot of energy filled with nothing but pure power which is demonstrated when it creates an explosion unlike anything they've seen so far, vaporizing millions of copies.
ShineGreymon Burst Mode: FINAL SHINING BURST! ShineGreymon Burst Mode uses the last of his power to destroy a million more copies.
More shots are blasted out from the Supreme Cannon, destroying more and more clones and eventually the entire room was enveloped in bright explosions. Omnimon hovers proudly as he watches his work along with his friends.
When the room clears, only one bug remained…the original Diaboromon.
Izzy: Tai, there's the original! Get him, we're running out of time!
Tai: Omnimon, quick, attack!
Knowing he's outnumbered again and no match for Omnimon's overwhelming strength and power, Diaboromon plays a game of tag to buy some time until the missiles hit. He begins jumping around like a bouncy ball and gets out of sight.
Tai: Where is he!?
Omnimon has the bug in his sights but jumps away again, the process repeats every time Omnimon sees him. ShineGreymon Burst Mode, Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, Zudomon, Lillymon, MagnaAngemon and Angewomon try to help out but they can't catch sight of him either.
ShineGreymon Burst Mode: There has to be a way to immobilize him.
Joe: 2 minutes to go!
Mimi: Guys there's no more time left!
Sora: We have to find him before it's too late! Just as she finishes speaking, Garudamon is shot in the back, causing her to cringe in pain and Sora to get blown away. Sora screams and Garudamon was unable to catch her.
Garudamon: Sora!
Tai hears Sora screaming and he turns to see his crush screaming falling down near Omnimon and ShineGreymon Burst Mode.
Tai: Sora!
Tai jumps off Omnimon much to Matt's horror.
Matt: Tai!
Kari: Oh no! Tai, Sora!
Tai dives down to Sora who notices the Child of Courage.
Sora: Tai!
As they fall they attempt to reach out to each other as any lovers would do when falling together. Luckily for them they were falling near Omnimon and when they get near his left foot, Tai grabs onto his toe and clutches on to Sora's hand with his other hand. He holds on as tight he could and is barely hanging on and Sora could lose her grip any moment. She looks down to see that it's long way down to floor.
Sora: Tai let go or we'll both fall!
Tai: No way! I'm not gonna let go!
Sora: Please, Tai don't do this! I'm just not worth it to you anymore!
Tai: Shut up! Are you trying to insult me!? Don't you dare say that! You're my best friend Sora and I made a promise to save and protect you no matter what so I'm keeping that promise! Just hang on!
Sora gasps and so does Tai when he realizes he just said the same words he spoke to her when he grabbed her hand to stop her from falling in Etemon's dark network. As a result, a special feeling which they had forgotten for 1 week returns. The both of them realize how much they mean to each other and Sora warmly smiles at Tai.
Sora: Tai… Tai returns that smile but it goes away when he notices he's losing his grip on his crush. I'm slipping!
Tai: Hold on! You can do it!
Garudamon flies down and Sora's hand slips, she screams but her Digimon partner manages to catch her in time.
Sora: Thanks Garudamon!
Tai manages to climb on Omnimon's foot and then back onto the shoulder. Diaboromon is still repeatedly jumping around.
(1 minute)
Joe: 1 minute to go!
Yuuko is still getting the cake ready.
Yuuko: 1 minute to go.
The nuclear missile is closing in on Odaiba.
Squad leader: Squad leader to Command, we were unable to destroy the target, the missile will impact, repeat the missile will impact.
Omnimon, ShineGreymon Burst Mode, Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, Zudomon, Lillymon, MagnaAngemon and Angewomon are trying their best to get Diaboromon in their sights but the annoying bug keeps bouncing around, frustrating them to no end.
Tai: He keeps moving! Every time we get him in our sights he jumps somewhere else! He's too fast for us! Kari wells up with tears and Angewomon is getting frustrated.
Kari: Do something; we don't have much time left!
Mimi: We only have 45 seconds!
(45 seconds)
The missile is getting close.
MegaKabuterimon: Izzy, this would be a good time to use that big brain of yours!
Izzy grits his teeth in anger and frustration and begins sweating again.
Izzy: "I know but I don't know what to do. We have the power to destroy him now but we don't have the time. Willis was right, we have to find some way to slow done Diaboromon."
The Royal Knight, light dragon, humanoid bird, giant bug, walrus, flower fairy and 2 angels continued looking around. Omnimon has his sword and cannon ready and the others readied their respective weapons.
Izzy: Huh? Suddenly, Izzy comes up with a solution and looks back to the portal that leads to home. Of course! MegaKabuterimon take me to the portal!
MegaKabuterimon: You got it! MegaKabuterimon blasts off. The others turn to him in confusion.
Tai: Izzy, where are you going?!
Izzy: Don't worry I'll be back!
MegaKabuterimon stops in front of the portal and Izzy jumps through.
He's instantly blasted back into Susumu's room and lands on the floor. He crawls over to his laptop and sees the multitude of emails coming in.
(30 seconds)
TK: 30 seconds left! TK wells up with tears and MagnaAngemon grits his teeth in frustration.
Izzy begins typing away on his laptop.
Izzy: The emails! If I forward him all of the emails it'll slow him down just as it did us! Keep sending them kids!
He types in Diaboromon's email address.
Diaboromon laughs sadistically as he bounces around, thinking he's won but he couldn't be more wrong.
Izzy: YOU GOT MAIL! He presses the enter key and the emails begin to get sent. Izzy quickly reaches his hands out and goes through the screen like before. He lands back on MegaKabuterimon.
MegaKabuterimon: Welcome back!
Izzy: Thanks! MegaKabuterimon flies back to the others and Izzy calls out. Everyone, I've forwarded all the emails we got to Diaboromon so he'll slow down now! He'll be easy to find!
The others exclaim with delight.
Tai: Alright, way to go Izzy!
Suddenly, the bug yelps in pain and an hourglass symbol appears in front of him. The tides have been turned; he was the one lagging. Everyone watched the bug growling in pain and turning to the face of his executioner, Omnimon, who along with the other Digimon managed to find him.
Sora: There he is!
Izzy: Now!
Joe: Hurry!
Mimi: Finish him!
TK: Go for it!
Kari: Do it!
Matt: Go!
Tai: Ten seconds left! Nine! Omnimon blasts off like a rocket with his sword ready.
Kari: Eight! Omnimon flies faster.
TK: Seven! Everyone in the barber store anxiously watch.
Mimi: Six! Mimi's friend watches with fear.
Joe: Five! Senri, Noriko and the rest of Kari's friends were watching too.
Izzy: Four!
Sora: Three!
Matt: Two! Diaboromon prepares one final attack but is too late.
Tai: ONE!
Omnimon delivers the final blow and impales his sword in Diaboromon, right in the head. Silence, absolute silence was the only thing that could be heard.
Diaboromon: Connection…terminated…
Diaboromon splits into half after being impaled but not before saying one last word…or rather a name.
Diaboromon: Willis… A clock is in the place of his head and the Grey Sword was now piercing through it. The clock reveals that the children had one second to spear and as does the timer. They won at literally the last second. They did it…they finally really did it.
(Split Screen) As a result of their victory, Tai, Matt, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, TK and Kari pump their fists up in victory.
Digi-destined: YEAH!
Even the people in the barber shop, the hotel manager daughter and Kari's friends were celebrating.
The only one not in a celebratory mood was Yuuko because the cake she worked hard to cook just got burnt and was oblivious to the Digi-destined's victory.
Yuuko: Ugh…lousy microwave! How come every electronic appliance has to have a bug in it?
Tai, Sora, Izzy, Joe and Kari return to Tai and Kari's house, Matt and TK return to the barber and Mimi returns to the hotel.
The missile that was headed for Odaiba splashes down in the water causing a huge tidal wave. The people watch the missile floating on the water upside down. The splash created was so big, drops of water pours down like rain and the people weirdly tilt their heads as the missile tilts as well.
Tai and the others were at the edge of the porch and were looking collectively sick and nearly gagged with their jaws dropped as they realize how close they were to being cleansed horrifically in an atomic fire, Joe naturally being the funniest. Kari was using a footstool to get a better view.
Sora: That…was…close…
Izzy: I'm…about…to barf…
Joe: I'm…with you there…I think…I'm about to hurl…
Tai: Wait till you guys try the cake
Kari: We made it…yay…Tai…please say we'll never go through that again…
Tai We'll never go through that again.
Sora: Please, don't make promises you can't keep.
Matt, TK and Mimi still speak from the computers.
Mimi: Hey what's going on?
Joe: The missile just landed in the bay?
TK: So, he was targeting you guys after all!
Tai: Yeah…looks like we made it at the last second…literally.
Mimi slumps on the desk with a strange expression and breathes a sigh of relief and Kerry smiles at her.
Mimi: I'm so relieved everyone is all right and this nightmare is over. She immediately resumes her cheerful demeanor. Well, I hope you guys don't mind, but I've still got plenty of vacation time ahead of me and I'd better make up for lost time. I'll bring you all souvenirs, so take care, everyone. Goodbye Palmon! Agumon and the others were back in Gennai's house in their Chibi states.
Palmon: Goodbye Mimi! Bring me a souvenir too. Mimi smiles at her.
Mimi: I'd be glad too.
She hangs up and turns to Kerry.
Kerry: Were those Digimon?
Mimi: Yep, they sure were, what do you think?
Kerry: That was cool. Scary, but cool, now that you're finished, wanna go sunbathing.
Mimi: I thought you'd never ask. They run out the room laughing.
Matt and TK give their sighs of relief as well.
Matt: Well, we're glad to hear you guys are okay. It was a pleasure to see you again Gabumon.
Gabumon: The feeling is mutual Matt.
The barber comes up and plays with Matt's hair a bit. Matt turns to him worriedly.
Barber: Say, when was the last time you had a haircut.
Matt: Uh oh.
Barber: Tsk, Tsk. He dramatically puts on a pair of gloves and edges his fingers. Well, as they say, it's never too late. It's time for a haircut.
Matt: Wait, what!? No, I like my hair the way it is! He attempts to run but the barber grabs him by his shirt from behind and Matt comically screams as he is getting dragged to the chair. Somebody, do something! Gabumon! Patamon! TK, I'll give you all my baseball cards! Help me!
TK laughs and points at his brother's misery before turning back to the Digimon.
TK: Well, it was great seeing you guys again, especially you Patamon. Thanks for helping us.
Patamon: Don't mention it TK; you're the best friend I've ever had, I'd do anything to help you. TK is touched by these words.
TK: Thanks pal. And remember our pact; we'll see each other again real soon.
Patamon: That promise is still inside my heart, for now goodbye TK!
TK: Bye Patamon! Bye Gabumon!
Gabumon: Goodbye TK! So long Matt! Matt is being dragged across the floor but manages to say his goodbyes.
Matt: See ya, Gabumon!
TK disconnects from the computer and continues smiling at his brother's predicament.
Back in the Kamiya residence, Tai, Izzy, Joe and Kari were discussing everything that has happened today and their near death experience along with their Digimon. Sora was on the bed looking at her laptop which she brought from home.
Sora: It's time to do something I should've done a long time ago.
She opens up her email and was surprised when she saw she got one this morning when she left it unblocked.
Sora: What's this? She opens it up and it's the email that Tai sent her earlier. She quietly reads it.
"Dear Sora, I'm sorry about what happened. I haven't felt this bad since the time I accidentally threw up in your hat and didn't tell you about it before you put it on. I know our relationship has been a little stormy lately, you say you love thundershowers so what's a few raindrops between friends?"
Love Tai"
Sora is taken aback by the last part and glances at Tai with a warm smile before glancing back at the computer with a tear streaming down her face.
Sora: Stupid Tai… She finally forgives her crush and she takes something out of her pocket. She opens her hand up to reveal that it's the emerald hairclip with a flower decoration that Tai worked hard to find. She smiles at it instead of glaring at it hatefully, deciding to make things right.
Joe gets up from his seat, holding his bag.
Joe: Well, if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna head for home. After doing nothing but studying for the last few days I think I need a break, plus I need somewhere to hurl after this near death experience.
Tai has his hands on the ground and they all smile.
Tai: Yeah, no kidding. I could use a place to throw up myself.
Izzy: Take care of yourself Joe.
Joe: You too. Joe bends down to Gomamon. Thanks for everything Gomamon, see you around.
Gomamon: Ditto. And thanks for being there Joe, don't be a stranger. Joe smiles at his partner and proceeds to leave but not before stopping and sniffing the air.
Joe: What do you know? The cake got burnt. Probably, should've expected that.
He leaves and Tai and Kari sweat drop in embarrassment. Kari smiles and gets up.
Kari: Speaking of cake, I think my friends are still at the party, so I'd better hurry before the magician arrives.
Tai: How 'bout getting me a piece? Kari grins.
Kari: Sure, but it's gonna cost ya.
Tai: Tai groans. Fine, I'll get you another chocolate sundae on next Sunday.
Kari: You're the best big brother ever! Kari bends down to the computer. Bye, bye Gatomon, I'll miss you!
Gatomon: Bye Kari, I'll miss you too!
Kari rushes out the door. Tai, Sora and Izzy bend down to the laptop.
Izzy: After everything that's happened, I think I'll go back home and continue working on the Digital gate. Once the program's ready, we'll be able to see you guys anytime we want.
Tentomon: Keep it up Izzy, I have faith you'll get that gate up and running one day.
Izzy: Thanks pal, so long.
Tentomon: Be good Izzy.
Izzy starts getting things ready to leave.
Sora: I'm so glad to have seen you again, Biyomon. I love you.
Biyomon: I love you too Sora.
Agumon: Agumon hops with joy. We did it, Tai! We really did it!
Tai: You bet we did! Side by side, Agumon! He gives the thumbs up with his classic Kamiya grin. Take care of yourself pal.
Agumon: You too!
Digimon: Goodbye! Izzy turns off the laptop after they give their goodbye. He closes it and picks it up before leaving.
Izzy: See ya guys, sorry about the cake. He peaks his head through the door to say one last thing. I'll give the two of you some alone time to kiss and make up.
With that said he leaves and closes the door.
Now Tai and Sora were alone. The atmosphere was tense and silent as they blush and take a glance at each other before looking down with sad and remorseful expressions. The both of them are clearly quite nervous but one of them was brave enough to break the silence.
Tai: Um…Sora, can we…talk outside…
Sora: Sure…
The both of them go outside and lean on the porch, looking down at the city. The both of them are getting more and more nervous.
Tai: "Well…here goes."
Sora: "I hope he'll forgive me."
They look at each other uncomfortably. Tai is afraid of what's to come and Sora puts her hands together sheepishly.
Sora: Tai…
Tai: Sora…
At the exact same time they bow and say…
Tai & Sora: I'm sorry!
They both instantly realize they apologized at the same time. They lift themselves up in shock before bursting into laughter. Tai and Sora immediately clear their throat.
Tai: You go first.
Sora: Tai, I read your email just now.
Tai: Tai is shocked. You did?!
Sora: Yeah.
Tai: Oh…I…uh…
Sora: Hear me out first. Tai stops and lets her speak. Sora looks down regretfully with her hands sheepishly behind her back. I…I'm so sorry. I've been so horrible and nasty to you for the past week. I blew up at you and threw away our friendship and everything we've went through together over one little hair clip…a hair clip which you worked so hard and sacrificed so much and got sick for just to buy it for me. All I ever thought about when you gave it to me was myself and not what you had to go through and I hurt you in the process. I should've appreciated what you bought but instead I acted like a…a…
Tai: A selfish, ungrateful spoiled little brat.
Sora: Yeah, pretty much. When you said what you said to me today, I finally realized what I'd done and how horrible I acted, including the promises I broke. Her tone starts to become teary. I…I…I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me. Sora begins to softly cry and sob with regret and fear of Tai's rejection. To her surprise, she feels her tears softly getting wiped away by the boy who gives a sad smile.
Tai: It's okay, don't cry Sora, I don't like seeing you so sad.
Sora: Tai…
Now Tai looks down regretfully.
Tai: Listen, I know last week I didn't think before I made my little joke. I'm sorry for insulting you last week and I'm sorry for what I said today, especially when I said didn't care about you. I was just being a…
Sora: An unbelievable, inconsiderate and insensitive jerk.
Tai: Yeah, that's it. I know I really hurt your feelings today and…I'm sorry, I really am.
Sora: Sora shakes her head and just smiles through her tears. She walks over to Tai and now the space between them is very small. It's okay; I deserved every single word you said; you had every right to be angry with me today; I was the one who started all this by acting like a brat and I know you didn't mean what you said last week as an insult, I just wish I'd seen that sooner but instead I pretended you didn't exist without giving you a chance but…despite all that you saved me…again. Thank you. Tai's smile grew wider and he begins to blush.
Tai: Don't mention it. It was the least I could do. When Diaboramon blasted you away and I jumped down to save you, I suddenly remembered how much you truly meant to me. Now Sora is blushing.
Sora: So did I, when you grabbed my hand I remembered how you did the same thing when I was about to be swallowed up in Etemon's dark network. It was at that moment I realized I could never stay mad at you forever no matter what stupid things you say to me. I just can't make myself do it.
Tai: Sora…I promise I'll make an effort to avoid saying stupid things like that again. Other than Kari and Agumon you're the person that matters the most to me and I don't wanna lose you.
Sora: You're also the most important person in my world.
The duo of Courage and Love blush as they tenderly smile and stare at each other in the eye. Tai breaks the silence.
Tai: So…Sora, did you really like my email?
Sora: Sora can't help but giggle. Of course, I loved it; it was beautiful and you know what? I love the hairclip too. Sora grins; removing her beanie and reveals she's wearing the emerald hairclip Tai gave her, causing the boy to become pleasantly surprised and touched.
Tai: Sora. You're really wearing it?!
Sora shyly and sheepishly smiles while touching and rubbing the hairclip. Her cheek becomes deeply red.
Sora: Yeah. What do you think? How do I look in it?
Tai becomes deep red as well and gently caresses the side of her face.
Tai: You look beautiful…with or without the hat. You always have been.
Sora giggles again and becomes redder. The two of them are silent for a moment.
Tai: So…friends?
Sora: Best friends.
Tai: Then I guess we've made up now, so…is this the part where we hug?
Sora chuckles before compassionately holding out her arms.
Sora: C'mere you.
The both of them erase the diminutive space between them hug, sharing a warm, tender, loving and romantic embrace. They enjoy it as much as possible and stay that way for some time. Soon Tai notices in confusion that Sora is crying onto him as they hug.
Tai: Sora, you're still crying?
Sora: I'm just so happy; it's just that I thought you really hated me today. Even when you said you hated me and even after how awful I've been lately you still risked your life trying to save me. How could you be so kind? Oh, Tai, I just…I just don't deserve you! Sora clutches onto Tai tighter and vice versa.
Tai: No, don't say that. I'm sorry I ever made you feel that way but you have to understand that I could never hate you! I made a promise that I'd protect you and save you no matter what, even from the stupid things I do and I especially promised we'd be best friends forever. He grins. We made a pinkie swear, remember?
Sora: Sora pulls back a little to look at him with a smile while they hold onto each other's waist. Of course I remember; that promise will always be in my heart forever. Not only that, you have protected me. You've saved me multiple times, I know that whenever I'm in trouble I can say your name and count on you to be there. As for the stupid things you do…well…you did protect me…from losing the best friend I could ever ask for.
Tai: Thanks. He leans closer and speaks softly. Hey, Sora.
Sora: Yes Tai.
Tai: You like the hairclip, right?
Sora: Of course.
Tai: That's good enough for me. Don't be offended but…sometimes you scare me more than Mimi when you're angry.
Sora can't help but laugh, knowing how sensitive Mimi is about her looks.
Sora: I'm sorry; I know how angry she can be, especially about her hair.
The both of them laugh it off a while and eventually they stop.
Tai: So, now that we're friends again, do you wanna hangout again? I think you deserve something better than a hairclip for your 11th birthday.
Sora: I'd be happy to. How about a movie and our usual hangout at Morealli's
Tai: It's a date.
Sora: Sora blushes again. Yeah, I guess it is.
Suddenly, thunder rumbles and they look up to see rain pouring out of the sky. Despite beginning to get wet, they can't help but laugh.
Tai: It's raining?
Sora: That weatherman is always wrong, isn't he?
Tai: Tai puts on another tender expression. Sora.
Sora: Yeah. She looks at her crush.
Tai: What's a few raindrops between friends?
Sora's eyes widen and glisten in surprise upon hearing the same sentence he used in his email. She gives a wide smile as a result and their faces are closer than ever.
Sora: Nothing, at least not when you have a fire like we have burning between us.
Tai: Tai grins. That's a sweet thought, corny, but sweet.
Sora: Stupid Tai…
Before anything else could be said, the miniscule space between them disappears when Sora leans forward and plants a deep, romantic kiss on Tai's lips causing him to widen his eyes in surprise as he returns it. When Sora pulls back he becomes very red and taken aback as he holds her waist.
Sora: Sorry, I just had to do that…
Tai puts on a warm smile.
Tai: Don't be…I actually liked it. I wouldn't mind doing it again if you want to.
Sora: Gladly.
