Me: (sighs) I hate disclaimers…

Me: (sighs) I hate disclaimers…

Sora: Then why don't you do them?

Me: Doing them is proof that I don't own you guys; you all belong to Toei, Fox Kids, Saban…

Tai: Too true.

Davis: This talented author doesn't own Digimon, nor does he own us.

Tai: If he did, Sora would've said yes to my proposal outside of Matt's stupid concert!

Sora: I hadn't wanted to hurt you, Tai!

Me: Let's get to the story before tears are shed.

Digimon

The Evil Clone

Chap. IX-Omnimon V.S. Black Omnimon/Tai V.S. Taichi: The Final Battle

Kari: Joe, Izzy, Cody and T.K. found their Digi-Eggs and Crests inside of a cave underwater. The good news is, thanks to Black WarGreymon's Terra Destroyer attack, they didn't have to go underwater to get to the cave; but they were blocked when they got their Crests and Digi-Eggs. Armadillomon, Gomamon, Patamon and Tentomon Digivolved to their Mega forms and they got out safely. Unfortunately, when they got back, Daemon and his forces ambushed us at our campsite. To make things worse, Black MetalGarurumon was created, and he, along with Black WarGreymon, DNA Digivolved to Black Omnimon! Things don't look so good for us at the moment. I hope Tai has a plan ready.

"Black WarGreymon…"

"…Black MetalGarurumon…"

"DNA Digivolve to…BLACK OMNIMON!!!"

"We're screwed." Davis declared as the entire team of DigiDestined stared upward at the greatest foe they'd ever gazed upon.

"Not yet! Matt, you ready?" Tai asked as he pulled out his Digivice.

"As I'll ever be." Matt replied.

"Agumon…"

"Gabumon…"

"Warp-Digivolve to…WARGREYMON/METALGARURUMON!!!"

"WarGreymon…"

"…MetalGarurumon…"

"DNA Digivolve to…OMNIMON!!!"

Tai and Matt jumped upward and landed gracefully on Omnimon's shoulders; Taichi responded by jumping upward as well and landing opposite of Tai.

"LET THE BATTLE BEGAN!" Daemon's voice boomed out loudly-so loud, the entire Digital World heard it, and possibly in the Real World as well.

The DigiDestined prepared themselves for battle as they all pulled out their Digivices.

"Veemon Mega Digivolve to…IMPERIALDRAMON!!! Mode change to…IMPERIALDRAMON-MIRACLE MODE!!!"

"Wormmon Mega Digivolve to…GRANKUWAGAMON!!!"

"Hawkmon Mega Digivolve to…VALKYRIMON!!!"

"Armadillomon Mega Digivolve to…VIKEMON!!!"

"Biyomon Warp-Digivolve to…PHOENIXMON!!!"

"Palmon Warp-Digivolve to…ROSEMON!!!"

"Tentomon Warp-Digivolve to…HERCULESKABUTERIMON!!!"

"Gomamon Warp-Digivolve to…MARINEANGEMON!!!"

"Patamon Warp-Digivolve to…SERAPHIMON!!!"

"Gatomon Warp-Digivolve to…MAGNADRAMON!!!"

Daemon didn't look too fazed that a whole team of Mega Digimon were in his way of total conquest. He simply motioned for Black Omnimon to attack. Omnimon quickly flew in his way.

"Try something!" Tai demanded heatedly. Taichi simply smirked.

"Oh, you bet I'll try something." Before Tai could do anything, Taichi pulled out his Dark Digivice and sent a beam of dark energy straight to Tai's chest, where it hit on impact! Tai screamed as pain-ungodly pain-coursed through his body and wracked his nerves. Seconds later, he disappeared!

"TAIIIIIIIIII!" Sora cried out as tears started rolling down her cheeks. Taichi laughed as he pointed his Digivice at himself, but not before yelling out, "Black Omnimon, go through with the plan!" Then he disappeared as well.

Matt was barely able to hold in his anger! "NOWWWWWWWWW!" he yelled out in a fury. Omnimon charged forward seconds later.

"Transcendent Sword!!"

Black Omnimon charged forward in retaliation.

"Sword of Darkness!!"

The two swords clashed and glowed brightly in the skies of the Digital World as the battle began.

Tai opened his eyes after being hit with that dark energy and found himself in a world of total darkness.

"Where am I? What happened to Sora, Kari and the others?" he thought worriedly to himself. A bright light flashed and Tai shielded his eyes as his clone appeared out of thin air.

"So, are you ready for the battle that will decide your fate?" Taichi asked with a devilish smile. Tai glared at his clone in response.

"You've had this battle planned from the moment Daemon made you! You also had a plan to betray him with our help, didn't you?" Tai demanded angrily.

"Correct. You're not as slow as your friends claim you to be! Or as stupid. When they use their Digivices and D3's to defeat Black Omnimon, they'll simply defeat Black MetalGarurumon and open the portal to this world, where after a moment, Black WarGreymon will use his Ultimate attack and send Daemon inside it-of course, only one of us will be inside when he arrives."

Tai smirked a moment later. "Yeah…YOU!" Tai suddenly leaped forward and activated his powers of Courage. Taichi was blasted backward as a red-hot beam of light struck him in the chest.

"That was for earlier!" Tai growled as he rose his fist and prepared to punch his clone. He ended up doubling over in pain as Taichi kicked him in the stomach-hard.

"This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought it would be to kick his ass."

Taichi's plan of betrayal was going into effect. After seriously damaging Black Omnimon with the Supreme Cannon attack, Omnimon held back and awaited further instructions from Matt.

"Everyone, hold out your Digivices and D3's! Let's get rid of this guy once and for all." Matt demanded. The others pulled them out moments later, and it went according to Taichi's plan: Black Omnimon deDigivolved into Black WarGreymon and Black MetalGarurumon; Black MetalGarurumon dissolved into bits of data that opened up the gateway to the world of Darkness. Ken suddenly screamed in pain.

"That world…it's the World of Darkness! We've got to close it right now!"

"How?" Kari asked.

"We used our D3's and Digivices to open the thing. Maybe we can close it!" Davis explained.

"Good idea, Davis. Let's do it!" Yolei yelled out.

Taichi smiled as he saw the gateway open.

"Told you. As of now, they're going to use their devices to close the gate, but Black WarGreymon is going to stop them by offering them a deal right about now-UHHHH!"

Tai had rammed his fist into Taichi's jaw.

"One more comment out of you, and I'll let Matt use you for a punching bag!"

"Hold it, DigiDestined! I want to offer a deal." Black WarGreymon advised.

"And why should we listen to whatever you've gotta say?" Davis demanded impatiently.

"Because I know where your leader is. He's in there-the World of Darkness. And I know how to get him back out. Just let me send Daemon inside first."

The DigiDestined huddled to converse.

"Should we listen to him?" Matt asked.

"If it'll get Tai back, then I say let's go for it!" Sora demanded.

"Me too!" Kari agreed.

"If Kari's agreeing, then so am I!" Davis added.

"Can't help throwing your two cents in, huh Davis?" Yolei joked.

"I think we're all in agreement. To save Tai, we'll make a deal!" Izzy declared. They all nodded and turned toward Black WarGreymon.

"We're in!"

"Clockwork! Now Black WarGreymon's going to attack Daemon with everything he's got, but it won't be enough, so with Omnimon and Miracle Mode for assistance, they'll send him inside the portal once again."

"Daemon! The time has come for your salvation! DRAGON KILLER!!!" Black WarGreymon's attack seriously crippled Daemon, but he merely chuckled.

"Now, guys!" Matt yelled.

"Transcendent Sword!!"

"Sword of Miracles!!"

The other Digimon sent their energy into Black WarGreymon to give him energy to accomplish his plan. After they did that, they all deDigivolved to their In-Training forms-except for Salamon (she's a Rookie Digimon). These attacks weakened Daemon enough for Black WarGreymon to send him inside the portal.

"And now, it's been a pleasure defeating you, but I have a Digital World to conquer. Ta!" Taichi smiled as the portal dwindled of power. Tai smacked his clone upside his head and jumped through.

"Sorry, but you'll be having Daemon for a bunk buddy; I've got to get to Sora!"

"TAI!" Tai cried out as everyone-not just Sora and Kari-tackled him to the ground.

"My work is finished here. To ensure that no one-not even you DigiDestined-can open the portal and release Daemon as well as your clone, DigiDestined of Courage, I shall sacrifice my abilities once again and seal it. I wish you well." Black WarGreymon rose to the skies and dissolved into digital Data, which reformatted against the sky above their heads.

The DigiDestined watched with smiles on their faces as the portal closed, sealing Taichi and Daemon inside for a long time.

Finished? I think not! There is an epilogue after this. Until then, R&R!
