The Final Battle
The Final Battle
Created By: kaizer
The fight between Tai and Matt was only the first of many confrontations. After
a particularily bad fight Tai left the group to search out his own destiny and
to destroy the Dark Masters on his own. After Tai left, Matt became the leader
of the remainning kids and they continued the fight with the Dark Masters in
Tai's absence. They occasionally heard of one or more of his exploits that
weakened the position of the Dark Masters until only Piedmon remained. It was
while they were resting at the Koromon village that they learned of a terrible
twist of events that had occured just days earlier.
"Captured?!" demanded Matt. "Are you sure it was him?"
"Yes, who else could it have been?" replied one of the Koromon. "Tai's the only
one that isn't here and you said there are no other humans around."
"Yes. Piedmon wants Tai's power." said another Koromon. "He's trying to figure
out how to get it. He suspects Tai learn't how to give his power away recently
and will torture him to get it."
"This is bad." Said Izzy. "With Tai's added powers, Piedmon will become
virtually invincible. We won't be able to even come close to scratching him."
"Then we have no choice." Said Matt sarcasticlly. "We have to save Tai again."
"Shut up Matt." Shouted Sora. "He's saved you way more than we've helped him. We
owe him big time."
"We wouldn't have needed saving if he hadn't left us in the first place."
Shouted Matt.
"Stop blaming my brother." Yelled Kari. "You made him leave. Besides its not
like you're Mr. Perfect."
"Should we stop them?" asked Gatomon
"We'd better." Said Gabumon. "Last time they went on for hours and nothing got
done."
"Don't yell at Matt." Said TK shouting now.
"Break it up. Come on, we have more important matters than your bickering." Said
the digimon as the seperated the kids.
* * *
Still glaring at the others, especially Sora and Kari, Matt began talking out a
plan to save Tai from Piedmon's clutches.
"So Izzy." Said Matt. "Where is Tai right now?"
"I can only give you the location of his digivice. But he's probably nearby.
He's on what the peak of Spiral Mountain where Infinity Mountain used to be."
Said Izzy.
"Oh great." Said Matt. "As if that place is easy enough to get into. Ok, Mimi,
Kari, Joe, you'll distract Piedmon here at the base of the mountain. Everyone
else is comming with me to get Tai. We meet back here in two hours, Ok? Good."
* * *
"Tell me the secret to your power." Demanded Piedmon.
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you if you were the last digimon on the
planet." Replied Tai.
"Might I remind you that your life hangs in the balance." Said Piedmon. "You'll
give me your power or die."
Tai was suspended in a clear glass tank of water. Only his head was above the
water. His feet dangled, unable to to reach the bottom. Already, he was
becomming dehydrated as the water exited his body. "Ironic," Thought Tai. "that
he would die from lack of water when he was surrounded by it simply because he
couldn't get his mouth below the water level. Piedmon must be denying my food
and water as a scare tactic. But I won't budge."
"Awnser me!!" Yelled Piedmon.
"I told you already. I'll never give you that information." Replied Tai.
"That may be so, but perhaps this will change your mind." Said Piedmon as he
threw a switch. Electricity coursed through the water shocking him. His body
began spasming uncontrollably as the power surged through his body. The pain was
excruciating.
"I'll leave you here to think about your decision." Said Piedmon as he left the
room.
The pain was so great that Tai blacked out. But not before muttering, "You'll
never get what you want."
* * *
Matt and company slipped quietly into Piedmon's castle on the peak of Spiral
Mountain. Silently they moved through the castle until they reached a set of
armoured doors.
"Tai's digivice is located one hundred and fifty meters through these doors. Be
careful, I'll override the locks with my computers but we don't know what is
behind them." Said Izzy.
Izzy overroad the door locks and cautiously openned them. Inside was a large
room where various digimon were slaving away minning minerals.
"You don't think Tai's in there slaving away, do you?" Asked Sora
"Well, I don't see him, but you never know." Said Matt. "TAI!!! WHERE ARE YOU?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
"It is highly illogical that Piedmon would put Tai in here. He wants him alive
for his powers. I belive he is beyond those doors." Said Izzy pointing to
another set of armoured doors across the chamber.
"Matt? Is it you?" Asked a feble digimon who Matt barely recognized as Agumon.
"Agumon? Is Tai there?" Asked Matt as he pointed at the doors.
"Yes Matt..." Replied Agumon before collapsing in Matt's arms, out cold.
Matt picked up Agumon and the group rushed towards the other set of armoured
doors.

"Ha Ha Ha..." Laughed Piedmon. "Your pathetic attackes cannot harm me. Today is
turning out better than I thought. Perhaps one of you will be more responsive
than the fool Tai."
"Come on." Shouted Joe. "The two hours are up."
"Let's get out of here." Shouted Mimi.
* * *
"Come on, we've got to leave." Said Matt. "Are two hours are up. We can't wait
for those two to recover."
They had pulled Tai out of the tank. The electric current had devastated Tai and
he was still twiching uncontrollably on the floor. Izzy told them that the
shocks probaby paralyzed him and he would never be able to move anything below
the base of his neak.
"Matt's right. Even if we had the time, Tai might not be able to walk. Either
way we're venerable. We should get to a safer location." Said Sora.
Sora picked up Agumon as Matt slipped Tai over his shoulder. Izzy grabbed Tai's
digivice off a table and placed them back around Tai's neak and onto his belt
loop. They exited the castle with all the speed they could muster. As they
passed the quarry, they noted all the workers had fled. They made it out safely
and were headed to the forest when Piedmon showed up.
"So, thought you could rescue your little friend here?" Demanded Piedmon.
"We didn't think we could. We knew we could." Yelled Matt. "Gabumon."

Piedmon laughed as the attacks hit him. "Even all seven of you together can't
possibly defeat me. Now to finish you once and for all."

The attack slammed into the digimon and they de-digivolved into their
In-Trainning forms. Whether for better or worse, the attack missed
MetalGarurumon who continued the attack. At that moment Agumon awoke from his
deep slumber and saw the battle raging. Seeing Tai being carried by Matt
unconcious, he quickly digivolved and joined the battle.
The two Mega digimon attacked Piedmon together. Experianced as they were they
were unable to even phase Piedmon.
"He's too strong." Said Matt dejectidly as he felt all was lost. Suddenly he
felt Tai begin to stir. "I guess he isn't as paralyzed as we suspected."
"What's going on? Where am I? Matt? What are you doing here?" Mumbled Tai
groggly.
"We're kinda busy here Tai. Piedmon is wasting us." Replied Matt.
"Matt, I can help, but I need to know, will you forgive me for leaving? Are we
friends?" Asked Tai with some urgency in his voice.
"Tai, we can discuss this later. You're too weak to help now." Said Matt. "Ok
everyone, fall back. We're leaving."
"No, I need to know now." Said Tai. "It has to end here!"
"Fine, if you want it that way Tai. I did forgive you. Way back when you saved
us from Puppetmon." Said Matt.
"Friends?" Asked Tai.
"Forever." Replied Matt.
Tai smiled and then his crest began glowing. A bright orange light enveloped
both Tai and Matt. Everyone, even Piedmon stopped to stare at the strange sight
before them. Piedmon was first to recvover from the bizzare scene.
"No." Cried Piedmon. "The power was to be mine."
Matt could hear Tai clearly as the glow enveloped them. Even better than before.
"Matt, you were destined to be the leader of our group. I saw the truth before
Piedmon captured me." Said Tai.
"No..., Tai, you're wrong. You're the one who held us together. You are the
leader..." Said Matt.
"No, it's you that's wrong." Said Tai. "Cherrymon was right. I was holding you
back, but only because you weren't yet ready. I still had to teach you more. You
know it's true. Over the past few months you held the group together, not me.
Now I give you my final gift and lesson. In a battle like this, the needs of
many triumph over the needs of the few. My needs are far less than yours. You
need the extra power, so I give you mine."
"Tai, I'm not ready for that type of responsibility." Said Matt.
"Matt, you're stronger than you think. You've been more than ready for a long
time. But only now is the time right." Said Tai.
"Tai..." Said Matt. "Thank you... for everything..."
"Goodbye Matt. I'll always be watching over you." replied Tai as he faded from
view.
The orange glow faded and only Matt remained. A tear rolled down Matt's face as
he said "Goodbye Tai, I'll always miss you."
"Matt?" Asked Sora. "Your crest, it's glowing."
Indeed it was. But as Matt looked at it, he noticed something different about
it. Instead of a winged circle with a broken circle inside, there was a solid
circle with no break and a small eight pointed star of Tai's crest. Matt stared
in wonder as he relized what had happenned. Friendship and Courage had fused
into a single symbol. He looked up and relized that the joinning had unlocked a
new level of power.
"WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon." Shouted Matt. "Digivolve!"
Everyone stared in amazement as the two Mega digimon began glowing. Then a
blinding flash of light was emitted. When the spots had faded from their vision
a single digimon stood where two had been before.
"Who's that?" Asked Kari.
"It's WarGarurumon. He's a MegaUltimate digimon." Said Izzy as information
apeared on his screen. "He's the combined form of Agumon and Gabumon. His attack
is Ice Force. He gatheres energy in the palm of his hand and freezes his enemies
in the tracks."
"WarGarurumon!" Shouted Matt. "Let's do it."
War Garurumon formed his attack and launched it. Piedmon tried to dodge but was
unable to move in time.
"Noooooo..." Cried Piedmon. "You may have defeated me, but without the eighth
child you'll never win. Other will come, more powerful than I."
* * *
With Piedmon defeated at last, Spiral Mountain collapsed and the digiworld
returned to normal. WarGarurumon split back into WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon
who de-digivolved into Koromon And Tsunomon. With no danger facing them any
longer, Matt was suddenly bombarded with questions.
"What happened to Tai?" Asked Kari. "What happened to my brother Matt?"
"I'm not sure." Said Matt. "He said he'd watch over me. I guess he always will."
Matt slowly ran his thumb over this crest.
"What did he say?" Asked Sora.
"He said that he was only trainning me to be leader. Preparing me for today.
Then he gave me his power." Said Matt. "Was he right. Am I truly ready?"
"Tai belived in you, and that's enough for us." Said Mimi.
"With the added power, you should be ale to open a gateway home." Said Izzy.
Matt pulled out his crest again and it began glowing. A beam of light shot out
and a circular portal openned before the kids.
"Goodbye." Said the digimon. "Our place is here, protecting the digiworld. We're
sorry we can't go with you."
Each of the kids said a tearful goodbye to their digimon partners before
stepping through the portal home.
* * *
One year later...
Each of the remainning digidestined stood before a small headstone, each holding
a single red rose. On the stone was the inscription:
Taichi "Tai" Kamiya
May you rest in peace wherever you may be.
July 24, 2000
Each of them placed their rose in front of the headstone.
"Goodbye Tai, wherever you may be. We all know you're watching over us. We'll
always remember you as a friend and faithful companion." Said Matt. He knelt
down and lit an offering. The group cleaned up their mess and slowly departed to
their homes in tears.
* * *
A small child exited a clump of bushes in the digiworld. He wore a blue shirt
with yellow trim as well as Brown shorts and a set of goggles hung around his
neak. A digivice was clipped to a belt loop and a crest hung from his neak. It
was an eight pointed star which was empty except for a small winged circle in
the very center.
"Where am I? How did I get here?" Asked the small child.
"Who are you?" Asked a small yellowish digimon.
"Do I know you?" Asked the child.
"I don't know." Replied the small digimon. "What's your name? You look like
someone I used to know, but he died."
"My name's Taichi Kamiya, but you can call me Tai."
Agumon's eyes widened as the child spoke the name of his partener. No wonder he
looked so familiar. But yet, this child still looked younger than the Tai he
knew so long ago. "But this can't be the Tai I knew." He thought. "He died back
in the time of Piedmon. Or could it really be Tai, back from the dead?"
The End
Or is it?
