Fallen Hope

Part 5

Final Confrontation

Shadidomon smiled slyly as his dark puppet called upon the six dark crests, while Kari looked on helplessly.

"Humph, you're not going to challenge me little light?" The shadow T.K. asked.

Kari looked on in silence.

"Well, if that is your answer, then I will just have to end it!" T.K. sneered as he threw the crest into the air. "Dark Crest Conversion."

The six crests then drove toward their digidestiny's cage. Tai's dark crest of fear struck the cage of the digidestiny of courage first transforming Tai's hair from brown to blonde and turning Agumon skin yellow as well. Then next the other four dark crests of dishonesty, jealousy, unfaithfulness, and ignorance struck the cages of their digidestiny at the same time changing the digidestiny and digimon within. The final crest of hatred hovered over Matt's cage slowly, as the punishment of the dark bolts stop.

"Haaaaaa!" This is wonderful!" Shadidomon laughed" now only two remind." "The setback with the digidestiny of hope will not stop the prophecy." My master will be awaken and you'll see this world thrown into totally chaos."

Then the final crest dove toward it new Master.

"Noooo," Matt yelled as he watched the crest descend toward him.

"Celestial Arrow!" a voice yelled as the crest was stroke by a single pink light arrow sending it back into T.K.'s hand.

"That is enough!" Kari shouted. "I won't sit by and watch you transform Matt, too."

"Oh yeah!" "What do you plan to do about it?" T.K. sneered.

"Stop you!" Kari answered.

"Hydroangemon, take care of that squirt and her digimon."

"It will be my pleasure, T.K."

"Don't underestimate me!" Angewomon yelled as she shot her arrows at the shadow digimon.

Hydroangemon simple swatted them away as he charged toward her. "Dragon Force," he yelled when he was three feet from his target. A huge ball of energy appeared from his mouth and sped toward the angelic digimon. She had no way to escape the close-range blast, and was totally engulf in the explosion, while Kari who was only a few feet from the battle was sent flying in the opposite direction by the sear force of the explosion.

"Aaaaaaah," she screamed as she prepared herself for the impact with the ground. But it never came instead she found herself colliding with another body who slowed her fall.

Meanwhile on the opposite side of the explosion, the smoke covered the area in front of Matt as he look on with wide eyes and a sad heart. I have seen the death of two of the digidestiny he thought as the smoke still high in the eye hid the view of the two digimon. First, my brother and now Tai's sister "All is lost," Matt muttered as Tsunomon began to sob.

"Now, it is time to convert you digidestiny of friendship." Shadidomon chuckled," if you submit quickly to my powers the suffering you have just seen here will be nothing more than a memory."

Matt turn toward the digimon and yelled," I will never give in!"

"Suit yourself," Shadidomon replied as T.K. threw the crest back at the digidestiny. This time the crest shot like an arrow toward the boy's cage, and just as it was about to connect with the cage. Hydroangemon was hurl from the smoky crater into the path of the small crest, and both the crest and angel dragon collided into the ground. Angewomon then appeared from the smoke followed by another angel type digimon.

"Astroangemon!" The Dark T.K. shouted," that is impossible, Master, I thought you had destroy the digidestiny of hope."

"Shut Up, you idiot!" Shadidomon shouted," they have never seen this digimon before."

Matt upon hearing this began to beam with joy; his brother and Kari were O.K. and now was the time to escape. "Tsunomon, do you think you can digivolve?"

"I'm afraid not, Matt!" "I'm still too weak!" Tsunomon replied sadly.

"That is Ok!" "I guess I have to leave it all up to T.K. and Kari," Matt replied with a great deal of hope.

Hydroangemon quickly rose from the place where he had fallen and charged Astroangemon. The two digimon locked hands as they look deep into each other's faces.

"I won't let you beat me!" Hydroangemon scream as he tried to overpower Astroangemon.

"I don't expect you to let me beat you." Astroangemon smirked," but you have no choice he howled as he left the digimon into the air and then flung the dark digimon back into the ground. "Evil will never triumph over good!"

Meanwhile Angewomon had floated to Matt's cage. "Matt are you Ok?" She asked hoping that during the battle he had not been converted.

"I'm fine," Matt answered but where is T.K. and Kari he asked?

Then Angewomon turn to look at a hill way off in the distance. Here two figures stood together stone-still watch the battle below.

"Good their safe," Matt signed in relief.

"Uh, that is great Matt, but don't you think that you should ask her to get us out of here?" Tsunomon squeaked.

"Oh yeah, Angewomon!"

"Say no more, Matt, I understand!" Angewomon stated as she ripped the roof of the cage open and took Matt and Tsunomon to the hill.

The Dark T.K. watch as they escaped and then he developed a plan. "Me and Hydroangemon are far from being beaten." He stated as he teleported from Shadidomon's side.

Astroangemon had Hydroangemon on the ropes as he continued to punch out the dragon/angel. Hydroangemon in one last desperate move flung himself upward to try to escape, but Astroangemon followed suit quickly. He outflew the dark digimon and grabs him from behind locking the digimon's arms behind his wings. Then Astroangemon turned himself and Hydroangemon around and plunged toward the ground and then at the last second Astroangemon release sends his victim into the ground.

"Noo," Hydroangemon cried as he grab a handful of dirty from the crater he had created. "I can..can't be beaten," he stammered. He then turned his head to look at the angel digimon.

"Give Up!" "This fight is pointless," Astroangemon shouted," you know that this will only result in your death."

"Haaaaa," the dark digimon laughed," it doesn't matter I'm only a shadow!" "A lifeless puppet!" "Life means nothing to me, only victory." He shouted as he rose again batten and beaten from the crater.

Elsewhere on the hill, T.K, Matt, Tsunomon, and Kari watch on, they all knew that the battle would be over soon, especially since Angewomon had gone to rejoin the battle.

"Go Astroangemon," T.K. shouted as his digimon got in another good hit.

"It looks like this battle is ours," Matt spoke without emotion.

"Huh, what is wrong, Matt? Kari asked.

"It just that, Shadidomon had gone through a lot of trouble to convert the others and he had not once commended one to help him."

"Oh I can answered that," a voice coo as Matt turn to see his little brother being held with a hand over his mouth by the dark T.K.

"My Master don't see any need to waste the energy!" "He will just end it himself!" T.K. smirked but first I have to take care of the final obstacle in my master's path." Then the shadow T.K. began to give off a dark glow. "This is my fareware gift to you!" "Shadow Explosion," he cried as the glow became permanent and his smirk turned into an insane laugh," I plan to take your brother with me to the afterworld along with you, if you don't escape my explosion in 60 seconds." "Haaaaaaaaa," I shall have the last laugh after all, digidestiny of hope!"
