Troubles in the Digiworld

by SatAM

My first fanfic, a Takari. It started with Patamon's mysterious kidnapping. This story takes place 3 years after 01, before 02. Chapter 12 (FINAL!!!) is up. With the Dark Masters defeated, the Mastermind had revealed himself... Please read and review!

12. A new beginning

Welcome to the final chapter of my first ever fic.

^_^

I've put a lot of effort into this last chapter, so I really hope that you will enjoy reading it.

Troubles in the Digiworld.

Chapter 12 : A new beginning

RyuLucifermon shot more energy balls at WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. WarGreymon blocked by crossing his arms together, forming an 'X'. MetalGarurumon fired his missiles to defend himself from RyuLucifermon's onslaught. When RyuLucifermon had stopped, WarGreymon quickly used his 'Terra Force' attack on him. RyuLucifermon leapt into the air, avoiding the massive energy ball thrown at him with ease. MetalGarurumon came next to attack, using his 'Metal Wolf Claw', while RyuLucifermon was still hanging in mid air. RyuLucifermon shielded himself with his dragon headed wrist guard and did a somersault backwards, landing perfectly on the ground in an acrobatic pose with his wings stretched wide.

MetalGarurumon came beside WarGreymon as they waited for RyuLucifermon's next move. From behind them, Angewomon, MegaKabuterimon and Garudamon came up to aid them to battle against RyuLucifermon, who grinned at the sight of the five digimon before him.

"What's the matter. Are you afraid to attack me?" RyuLucifermon snickered. "Are you sure that the five of you is enough?" he taunted, while letting out a dark, deep laugh. He sees the five digimon as nothing more than mere pests. Pests who can be dealt with easily. He had already declared himself as the winner in his own mind.

The anger in WarGreymon was clearly visible from the look of his fiery eyes. He can hear Tai cheering him on from behind and that gave him strength to continue on the fight. "MetalGarurumon, are you ready?" he whispered to the metal wolf beside him and positioned himself, getting ready to attack their enemy.

"Ready when you are," MetalGarurumon simply answered back, not taking his eyes off RyuLucifermon just in case he started to attack before they did. He lowered his head and front legs and waited for WarGreymon to take the first move.

"Let's go!" WarGreymon called as he and MetalGarurumon dashed forward. He aimed his sharp claws at RyuLucifermon and shouted, "Mega Claw!"

WarGreymon dived at RyuLucifermon, his deadly claws ready to pierce through its target. RyuLucifermon waited until the last moment possible before reacting to the attack. WarGreymon was about to rip his opponent apart when RyuLucifermon clamped the pair of deadly claws with both his hand, just inches away from his chest. WarGreymon struggled to get his claws free from RyuLucifermon's strong grip.

A sudden and swift movement from behind WarGreymon caught RyuLucifermon's attention. He released his grip on WarGreymon when he saw MetalGarurumon jumping over WarGreymon and was pouncing at him. He quickly backed away as MetalGarurumon came down in front of him and attacked again.

With a powerful flap of his wings, he flew up just in time to escape MetalGarurumon's attack. Angewomon greeted RyuLucifermon in the skies with her 'Celestial Arrow'. The attack was nothing to RyuLucifermon. He easily defended himself from the arrow with his dragon headed wrist guard. In return, he shot energy balls back at Angewomon. Angewomon gasped, but MegaKabuterimon came right in time and blocked them with his hard shell. Garudamon was now shooting 'Wing Blade' over and over but RyuLucifermon skillfully flew across the sky and evaded every single one, which really annoyed Garudamon. Angewomon thanked MegaKabuterimon for helping her and they both flew off to continue their battle.

The digidestined watched as all this happened before their eyes. Tai, Kari, Matt, Sora and Izzy cheered endlessly for their partners. Ogremon was cheering as well. Joe, T.K. and Mimi, along with their digimon partners also shouted words of encouragement for their friends.

"I think it's time we send in the reinforcements, don't you think?" Joe said with a little smile while looking at Gomamon.

"Yes, Joe. Let's do it," Gomamon replied, looking back at Joe as he began to digivolve into Ikkakumon. "Ikkakumon... digivolves to... Zudomon!" The giant sea creature marched off into the battlefield wielding his mighty hammer beside him.

Patamon flew restlessly around T.K.'s head. "Let me go and help too!" he kept on saying. He landed on T.K.'s head and looked into his eyes hopefully, waiting for his answer.

"Ok Patamon, time to take out the trash! Digivolve into Seraphimon now!" T.K. told his partner and grinned when Patamon looped around happily as he digivolved.

"Patamon... warp digivolves... Seraphimon!"

Palmon watched as her two friends digivolved into their strongest form. She also wanted to go and help her friends. Mimi put her hands on Palmon's shoulders and nodded, knowing exactly what she wanted to do. Palmon look at her with determination. "Looks like it's my turn, too! Palmon... digivolves to... Togemon!"

"Togemon... digivolves to... Lillymon!"

"Good luck Lillymon!" Mimi cheered, jumping up and down from where she stood. "Make sure you win!" Lillymon winked back at her and flew beside Seraphimon to join their friends.

Angewomon was evading more attacks from RyuLucifermon when she was hit by some of them and fell to the grown. Kari screamed her name out as she ran to Angewomon and helped her up. "Kari, I need to digivolve into Mega," Angewomon said as she took Kari's hand and pulled herself up.

"Ok, Angewomon. You can do it. You can defeat RyuLucifermon just like you did Puppetmon and Piedmon," Kari said, trying to encourage her. Angewomon replied with a smile as she brushed off some dirt from her hands, body and legs. She flew back up into the skies and glowed with a pinkish aura around her.

"Angewomon... digivolves to... Magnadramon!"

RyuLucifermon was surrounded by all eight digimon as he levitated in mid air. The four Mega; WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Seraphimon and Magnadramon. The four Ultimate; Garudamon, MegaKabuterimon, Lillymon and Zudomon. There was nowhere he could run now. He was surrounded from all directions. To his front, WarGreymon, his left was MetalGarurumon. Seraphimon was on his right while Magnadramon took her place behind RyuLucifermon. Garudamon was flying above him and Zudomon stood below. MegaKabuterimon and Lillymon flew from place to place, ready to help attack RyuLucifermon from any direction.

WarGreymon signaled for everyone to attack together. "Ready? Attack!"

RyuLucifermon spread his wings and arms sideways. His eyes glowed an evil red as he called out, "Eternal Darkness!" before they had managed to launch any attack on him.

The whole world around the digidestined and the digimon slowly disappeared and was replaced by a huge, dark area, which expanded throughout the entire place and over the horizon. The ground, too, had disappeared into nothingness and they found themselves standing on nothing at all. It looked as though they were all standing in the middle of space. No ground, no trees, only what seemed like stars and darkness filled the whole place. The digidestined and the digimon knew where they were, for they had been here once, three years ago. This was where they fought their final battle against what they believed was the root to all the evil in the Digiworld. They had fought with the digimon who had the moves of all the Dark Masters combined and more. Yes, they remembered it clearly in their memories, this was the darkness realm that was created by Apocalymon in the final battle.

"What are we doing back here?" Kari asked T.K. worriedly. "What's going to happen now?"

T.K. put his arms around Kari's shoulder and pulled her closer. "Don't worry, Kari. Just remember that no matter what happens, I'll protect you." T.K. said as he ran his hand through her hair.

Kari leaned her head closer to T.K.'s chest and whispered, "Thanks, T.K. I know you will."

"Oh no, how did RyuLucifermon get us here?" Tai said as he looked around to make sure that everyone was fine. He saw T.K. holding his sister in his arms. Kari seemed a bit worried but T.K. calmed her down. What he saw reminded him about Sora and he went up to her and asked if she was okay. Sora looked a little annoyed because people kept on asking her the same thing and in the end she pinched and pulled Tai's cheek. "Ow ow ow! Stop that, Sora, please!" Tai begged as his arms flailed around in the air.

"Only if you promised to stop worrying about me," she replied in a flat tone with her eyes closed. Tai promised and when Sora let go of him, he rubbed his red cheeks with his hands. Sora couldn't help but giggled.

"Stop fooling around, Tai!" Joe scolded although deep inside, he wanted so bad to laugh at him.

The digidestined and Ogremon returned their attention to the digimon who were fighting with RyuLucifermon. Endless streams of RyuLucifermon's energy balls had shot out in all directions, hitting all of the digimon around him. The damage dealt by RyuLucifermon was so great that it had caused them all to de-digivolved back into their usual form.

Their partners, except for Piyomon who landed on top of Ogremon because he was trying to help Sora catch her, caught all the de-digivolved digimon. They were making sure that none of their digimon were seriously hurt when the cold laughter of RyuLucifermon made them shifted their attention back to him.

"How are you going to fight me, now that I have already defeated all of your digimon," he said, putting his right hand under his chin. "Fighting in this realm of darkness has increased my powers, even though it wasn't enough to beat the Dark Masters, but it was more than you were able to handle," he said with a grin.

The digidestined, their digimon and Ogremon felt tense. They had never fought with anyone as cunning, as scary and as powerful as RyuLucifermon. They didn't know what do to, all they know is that they will be completely defeated at the hands of this vile digimon.

Though they didn't know how and why, all of them suddenly recalled the events of the past. When they first met Myotismon, the Dark Masters and Apocalymon. They had felt the same way at those times as they are now, lost and without hope, but in the end good always prevails. They looked around at each other and at an instant they knew that their minds were set together. They will defeat him, no matter how difficult it is, because they are the digidestined.

Fire of courage burned in their hearts, they knew that their friendship will pull them through. They all love the Digiworld and their sincerity to protect it from evil beings is without a doubt. Their knowledge and their reliability had given them a new hope, to go towards the light at the end of the dark tunnel.

They were reminded of Gennai's advice; "Remember to always believe in yourself and in your friends!" And for some reason at that moment, they started to hear voices singing in their heads, giving each and everyone one of them the strength to move on and to win.

If given a second, anyone can give up and run

So just keep on walking

"Who says that we are already defeated? We can still fight you!" Agumon protested.

"Agumon is right! We've been through worst than this and we've always won in the end. There's just no way that evil can win!" Tai shouted with all his might, giving courage to his friends as well.

"We will never give up!" Matt clenched his fist and gritted his teethes together.

Both Tai and Matt's crest began to glow brightly, and it gave Agumon and Gabumon the strength to digivolve into their Mega form, "WarGreymon!" "MetalGarurumon!" the two digimon roared as they stood on the front-line.

There's something only you can do

So that this blue planet doesn't lose it's light

"We will continue to fight you no matter what!" Gatomon shouted, showing the sharp claws from underneath her paws.

The same thing that happened to their brothers also happened to both Kari and T.K. The crest of Light and Hope shone brilliantly upon Gatomon and Patamon. "Magnadramon!" "Seraphimon!" their names echoed into the distance as they took their place beside WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon.

Seize the dreams you had!

Protect your beloved friends!

You can become stronger

Unknown power dwells in your heart, when its fire is lit

Any wish, it's true

Will surely be granted...show me your brave heart

RyuLucifermon watched as the crest of Love, Sincerity, Knowledge and Reliability let out a blinding flash of light and their digimon regained all their lost energies. "Garudamon!" "Lillymon!" "MegaKabuterimon!" "Zudomon!"

The anger and annoyance on RyuLucifermon's face was shown clearly when he saw all of his enemy had recovered and were now standing in front of him. All of them attacked RyuLucifermon at the same time.

"Terra Force!"

"Metal Wolf Claw!"

"Dragon Fire!"

"Seven Heavens!"

"Wing Blade!"

"Flower Cannon!"

"Horn Buster!"

"Vulcan's Hammer!"

RyuLucifermon responded with an attack of his own. "Infernal Dragon!" he declared his attack. His wings spread open, his hands stretched apart, a wide stream of black light burst out of his chest. An image of a fiery black dragon was seen as it went through all of the digimon's attacks and stroked all of the digimon back down.

Not every day is sunny, so sometimes

Even though a cold rain is falling, just open your umbrella

"We cannot lose now!" WarGreymon said, trying to get himself up from the unseen ground.

"Tell me, why can't you just admit that you lost and give it up?" RyuLucifermon said mockingly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Because...," MetalGarurumon replied as he stabilized himself on his four feet and looked eye to eye at RyuLucifermon. "Our will to win is stronger than yours!"

At that very moment, both Tai's and Matt's digivice and crest began to glow again. Tai and Matt looked at each other and blinked blankly. Matt saw that MetalGarurumon had started to glow, too, and so was WarGreymon. Tai swallowed hard, not knowing what to expect. It was as though both of them were digivolving, but it was impossible. Both WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon were already at the Mega stage, the highest stage a digimon can digivolve into. He gasped when he saw both of the Mega started to merge together. The digidestined watched with awe while the digimon widened their eyes as the two Mega form digimon fused into one.

A new digimon stood before them. WarGreymon became the right hand of this new digimon while MetalGarurumon was the other. This magnificent digimon had a long white cape that reaches his feet, which had three sharp claws on each of them. His body was white and was marked with purple stripes. In a way, he looked something like one of those gigantic robot heroes on TV.

There's no map of how to live, that's why we're free

You can go anywhere

"Omnimon!" the combination of the two Mega announced in a deep voice.

Sora closed her opened mouth with her hands, unable to believe what she just saw. Joe stood next to her, mumbling some nonsense. Mimi was still staring and blinking blankly at the sight of the Omnimon. Izzy had already started to search for more information on his 'Digimon Analyzer'.

"Omnimon, a DNA digivolution type digimon. Fused from WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, his sword can slice through any resistance. He is believed to be a level above Mega," Izzy read out the information he had on his laptop.

"A level...." said Kari in an awed voice.

"Above Mega?" T.K. asked, completing Kari's sentence.

No one was more surprised about Omnimon than Tai and Matt. They had never seen anything like it before, two digimon merging into one, and a level above Mega. Finally realizing what had happened, a wide grin appeared on Tai's face. He knew that with Omnimon, they will be able to defeat RyuLucifermon. Matt must have realized it also because he was grinning too.

Run faster than the wind!

Aim farther than the skies!

You can meet a new you

Unknown courage sleeps in your heart, and when you realize

The downpour in your heart

Will surely stop...show me your brave heart

Everyone was excited about Omnimon, except RyuLucifermon. He had overheard what Izzy had said and he felt threatened by it. Without hesitation, he fired out hundreds of his energy balls at once, aiming at the digidestined. Omnimon came forward to face the incoming projectiles and called out, "Transcendent Sword!" as a blade inscribed with some arcane carvings on it burst out of WarGreymon's mouth of his right hand.

With one mighty slice, most of the energy balls were deflected away by the flat side of his blade. He pointed his MetalGarurumon hand facing the remaining of the energy balls and blasted out a powerful energy bolt. "Garuru Supreme Cannon!" The energy bolt hit all the remaining energy balls. RyuLucifermon face twitched a little and he frowned, almost showing his teeth, while he was still levitating at his position.

Omnimon thrust himself and pointed the sharp end of his sword at RyuLucifermon. The digidestined were almost certain that Omnimon would thrust his sword right through RyuLucifermon, but something unexpected happened when LadyDevimon suddenly appeared out of nowhere in between Omnimon and RyuLucifermon, causing Omnimon's 'Transcendent Sword' to go through her instead. No one had remembered that LadyDevimon was still there...

She let out a shout of pain as the sword went through her chest, her tangled hair flailed behind her. "I will always be loyal to my lord RyuLucifermon," she said out before turning into bits of data. Omnimon did not pulled out his sword until LadyDevimon had been turned into data completely.

RyuLucifermon took this opportunity and used his 'Infernal Dragon' attack. Omnimon noticed it just in time to block it with his arms. The impact of the Infernal Dragon had pushed Omnimon back down. RyuLucifermon continued by blasting Omnimon with more of his energy ball, causing Omnimon to continue defending himself, unable to retaliate.

Seize the bright tomorrow!

Protect the ones you love!

You can become stronger

Break that weak self!

Destroy the walls blocking you!

The warm beat of your heart will be your weapon

Believe in your heart

An incoming cluster of attacks from the other digimon forced RyuLucifermon to stop his assault on Omnimon and defend for himself. Seven Heaven, Dragon Fire, Horn Buster, Vulcan's Hammer, Flower Cannon, and Wing Blade targeted at RyuLucifermon. He turned to the direction where the attacks were coming from and got himself ready to use his 'Infernal Dragon' once more.

"Infernal Drago- Argh!" he felt something long and sharp thrust through his armor and his body. He tilted his head down and saw that Omnimon's 'Transcendent Sword' had pierced through his body.

Omnimon pulled out his blade from RyuLucifermon's body and flew backwards down to his original position. RyuLucifermon looked back up, his red eyes had lost its glitter and he tried to shout, he couldn't defend himself the various attacks from the digimon anymore.

"I-Is it over?" Kari asked as she watched RyuLucifermon received all those attacks from their digimon.

"I think so," T.K. replied, waiting for the debris around the area where RyuLucifermon was to clear up. He pulled a surprised Kari close to him when he saw a shadowy figure emerging from within the debris. Kari saw it too, and gasped.

A badly beaten up, half-dead RyuLucifermon was still there. Omnimon pointed his MetalGarurumon arm at him.

"Garuru Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon shouted as he blasted another energy bolt at RyuLucifermon. It was a direct hit on RyuLucifermon, but he was still there, as if Omnimon's attack no longer had any effect on him.

"Izzy, what's going on? Why isn't he defeated yet?" Tai asked anxiously.

Izzy scanned through his laptop once more. "A-hah! I found something. Listen to this, it seems that there is only one way to completely defeat him. It is to use the combined attacks of both Light and Hope."

"That means, Magnadramon and Seraphimon must attack him together?" asked Mimi.

"Didn't they do that already?" said Joe. "Both of them had attacked RyuLucifermon together lots of times."

Izzy sighed. "I wasn't finished yet. The attacks must also be combined with the power of both crests. The crest of Light and the crest of Hope. Magnadramon and Seraphimon must draw the powers from the crest and use it against RyuLucifermon. Remember during the first battle, it was Angemon who defeated Devimon back on File Island using the power of Hope. Devimon managed to returned because he wasn't completely defeated yet because Kari wasn't here at that time and we haven't found our crests yet."

"That does makes sense," T.K. said. "How about the Dark Masters? How did they return?"

"I think that must have something to do with Piedmon escaping the vortex that MagnaAngemon created," Izzy said with a small shrug.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's finish off RyuLucifermon," Kari said in a determined tone.

She held out her crest and so did T.K. Their crests lit up as Magnadramon and Seraphimon prepared to launch the final blow to RyuLucifermon, who was still hanging in mid-air. Kari felt a little nervous but the feeling disappeared when T.K. held her hand with his and gave it a gentle squeeze. She looked at T.K. and smiled. Kari really hoped that this would work.

A light shot out from both Kari and T.K.'s crest and illuminated Magnadramon and Seraphimon.

"Dragon Fire!"

"Hallowed Knuckle!"

Both the attacks merged together as it burst through RyuLucifermon. His eyes seemed as if they were going to pop right out, RyuLucifermon opened his mouth and shouted out in pain for one last time before blowing up in a huge explosion, turning himself back into data, which scattered everywhere.

Omnimon had separated and de-digivolved into Koromon and Tsunomon while the other digimon had de-digivolved back into their usual form.

The portal connecting Odaiba and the Digiworld that had disappeared when they entered the world of darkness had now reappeared where RyuLucifermon had been before he was blown up into bits of data. Beside the portal, another being had also appeared out of nowhere. That being was an old man by the name of...

"Gennai!" the digidestined called out cheerfully.

"Yes, digidestined. You have defeated RyuLucifermon, congratulation once again. However, I have something important I need to tell you."

Every one of them kept quiet and listened to what Gennai wanted to tell them.

"This portal will lead you back to your world," Gennai told the digidestined. "However, once you enter this portal, you will be transported back to the time before any of this happened, and your memory of your journey this time will be erased."

"What!?!" Tai gasped. "Why!?"

"Because none of this should have ever happened. Some of the data were accidentally jumbled up during the reconstruction of the Digiworld after the Apocalymon event, which is why RyuLucifermon was able to create this world of eternal darkness. Devimon's data was mixed with some of Apocalymon's data, even though you had sealed Apocalymon up. The Dark Masters were also revived because of Apocalymon's data. Even the part about using the crests of Light and Hope to defeat RyuLucifermon was there because of this glitch. Now the Digiworld is patching itself up, which means none of this should have ever happened. Your digimon too, will have their memory erased and they will also lose whatever powers they had gained throughout this journey."

Gennai's words left a stunned expression on the digidestined faces. Their digimon were shocked, too. They didn't know how to react to this piece of news.

"So we've been all through this for nothing!?" T.K. asked all of a sudden, a bit angry because he had been through so much when he first came back to the Digiworld to look for Patamon, to find Kari and he told her how much he loved her, and now it wouldn't mean a thing, because it would never have happened. Kari put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

"Come on, T.K. Don't be angry, it won't change what has already happened," she told him.

"You have shown to yourselves that you are capable to defeat any enemy if you really believe in yourselves. I would think that that means a lot already. You would only lose your memory of whatever that has happened, but whatever made you this strong will still be within you. Just know that you must always have faith in yourselves and also remember that your future awaits you for a new beginning," said Gennai. "Anyway, you must be going now, whether you like it or not," the old man said in a sad, yet stern tone.

After saying their goodbyes to the digimon, the digidestined went through the portal one by one, until there were only T.K. and Kari left. Kari was about to enter the portal when T.K. pulled her back, placed his arms around her waist and around her neck and swiftly placed his lips on hers, giving her their first, passionate kiss.

"What was that for," Kari asked softly when they finally broke apart. She wasn't complaining or anything, but T.K. had took her by surprised.

"Once we go through this portal, it will be like before we came here. We would not know the feelings we have for each other, and who knows how long it would take before we find out again. I want to enjoy this moment now, before we forget. I hope you didn't mind," T.K. replied softly. Kari smiled and slowly pulled him closer for another kiss.

Hand in hand, they jumped through the portal together. They felt like they were riding on a roller coaster as they sped up and down around in the portal, swishing through what seemed like a long dark tunnel. They saw several screen like objects hovering all over the place. They were like floating TV's that showed what was happening in different parts of the Digiworld. Through one of those screens, T.K. and Kari saw someone, a boy wearing some sort of costume, who was attacking several digimons and placing some sort of black rings on them.

They heard one of the Gotsumon the boy was hunting called out, "Help! The Digimon Emperor is here!" T.K. and Kari felt like they needed to help and they tried to reach their hands out to touch the screen. However, before they knew it, the whole place flashed brightly and they withdrew their hands to cover their eyes from the blinding light...

"Kari! You can't run away from me!" T.K. shouted cheerfully as he chased Kari through the snow near her apartment.

"We'll just see!" giggled Kari as she tried her best to run to her house before T.K. could catch up with her.

T.K. chased Kari all over the place, while trying to catch up to Kari, but it wasn't easy because of the snow. Kari panted as she reached her front door, face all pink from the chase and the cold wind. He smiled as T.K. finally caught up with her. He looked up at Kari, who was smiling at him. He smiled back, too. His face was also pinkish from the cold winter wind.

"Well...." Kari started," I'm home..." she said slowly while looking meaningfully at T.K.

"I.. I think I better head home too," T.K said slowly.

"Well.. er.... Don't you want to come in first? Maybe have a cup of hot tea?" invited Kari.

"Actually..." T.K. started, hesitated a while, and continued," I would love to, but I promised Matt to help clean up the house... so... I..."

"It's alright," replied Kari.

"But.. I..."

"Let's make it this way. Why don't you go and help Matt with your chores and then, when you have finished, you can come over and then we'll have tea together." Kari said with a smile.

"O-Okay!" said T.K. as he left for his house.

After helping Matt clean up, T.K. left for his apartment door. As he walked out he felt something weird. It was as though he had been through what he was doing before, but just couldn't remember it. There was something troubling him, something that didn't feel right. He knew that something was supposed to happen at that time, but what? Matt saw that his brother was standing outside the door in a trance-like state.

"T.K.! What's wrong with you? I thought you had some plans with Kari," Matt shouted to his brother from the living room.

T.K. snapped himself out of his thought. "Oh, uhm, yea! See you later, Matt!" he shouted as he closed the door and he ran off towards Kari's place.

He didn't know why, but he felt that something exciting was going to happen soon. An adventure, maybe. On the way, he accidentally knocked someone over, but he kept on running and turned his head over and saw that he had knocked down a boy about his age, wearing a pair of square goggles on top of his head which kind of reminded T.K. of Tai, yelled at him while swinging his fist around.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

"I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry!" T.K. yelled back while waving to him apologetically and grinned sheepishly at the boy. He continued to run towards Kari's apartment.

A young girl wearing big round glasses walked up to the boy. "What happened, Davis?"

"Nothing, Yolei. Some idiot just knocked me over and ran off," the boy called Davis growled.

"How did he look like?" Yolei asked while helping Davis to get back on his feet.

"I didn't really get a good look at him," Davis simply answered back, brushing off some dirt on him.

"Well, we better get going now," Yolei told Davis as she walked off.

Davis nodded. "If I ever catch that boy, I'll kill him!" he grumbled to himself as he walked away with Yolei.

The story has begun to spin at full speed

Dyeing the earth red

On the map there is an empty paradise

Let's try and save it ourselves

Now we're running as fast as we can

Up the endless hilly road, far away

Stand up! There's a hero inside me

A rising target, there's no way I can lose

Burn up! My heartbeat burns in my chest

We're going to get back the forgotten tomorrow

With a heated battle

(Taken from the translated Japanese 02 opening, "Target-Red Shock")

The End... Finally!

O_o

Yeah, I know the ending kind of sucked, but at least I tried my best to make it good. I had inserted two song lyrics into this chapter. The first one was the translated lyrics for the Japanese version evolution theme, "Brave Heart" (I thought that this would go nicely with the appearance of Omnimon) and the short one at the ending was taken from the translated lyrics for the Japanese 02 season opening, "Target-Red Shock" (I feel that this is a good way to end the fic because the 02 adventure is going to begin not long after this). I've always wanted to do something like this. ^_^

I would like to thank all those who had reviewed before. I might not have been able to finish this fic without your supports. Ok, maybe I would have finished it anyway but probably not this fast.

Since this is the final chapter for my first fic, please review for one last time and tell me what you think about it. How much do you like it, how it would be better if I had did this or that, anything constructive that would help me write better fics in the future. Once again, if you have found anything wrong in my fic, please tell me! Thank you all for reading my fic until the ending. It has been great for me so I hope it has been great for you as well. ^_^
