Digimon: Digital Monsters: Battle to Save the Dimensional Plane

The Hearts of Millions

"This can't be good," said Davis under his breath as the giant form of Milleniummon stood before them. They had been too late to stop the opening of the dimensional gate. Even now, pathways to other dimensions were beginning to appear in the sky of the digital world, each one home to countless planets and beings. Milleniummon reared back his head as he gave a howl of laughter. He then looked down about the landscape.

"At last! I am free of that accursed prison!" he cried. He then looked down at the digimon and their partners. "Now I shall make you pay for your interference!"

"Not if we can help it!" cried WarGreymon as he and MetalGarurumon leaped forward towards Milleniummon. But the giant digimon just laughed even as WarGreymon started to collect energy in his hands, while MetalGarurumon's mouth glowed blue with cold energy.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" cried MetalGarurumon, breathing a cold blast from his mouth at Milleniummon.

"Terra Force!" cried WarGreymon, throwing a giant ball of energy from his hands at Milleniummon. Both attacks slammed into Milleniummon's body, a huge explosion engulfing the giant digimon.

"Gotch ya!" cried Tai. But as the smoke cleared, they saw that Milleniummon stood unharmed.

"That tickles," said Milleniummon, smirking at the two Mega digimon. "Now it's my turn!" With that, he lowered his body, aiming his two cannons at MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon. "Dimensional Cannon!" he cried as two rainbow colored blasts of energy shot from the cannons, both of them hitting their targets as the two Mega digimon were knocked head-over-heels from the force of the attack.

"WarGreymon!" cried Tai as he ran to his partner's side.

"MetalGarurumon!" cried Matt, also running to his partner's side. Milleniummon chuckled slightly as he turned his attention back to the other digimon and kids.

"Now, who else wants to try their luck?" he asked, an evil grin forming on his face. Suddenly, a blast of purple energy slammed into the side of his head, knocking him off balance. Everyone turned to the source of the attack to see Beelzemon flying towards them with BlackGatomon on his shoulder. But what was really surprising was the immense number of Mega digimon that was following them.

"I hope you guys don't mind me and my friends dropping in like this," said Beelzemon as he land next to Gallantmon while the dozens of other Mega digimon descended upon Milleniummon.

"Not at all," said Gallantmon, looking back at the attacking force. The digimon that were attacking Milleniummon included ten Phoenixmon, twelve Gryphonmon, eight Diaboromon, five MetalSeadramon, fifteen Machinedramon, and eleven GranKuwagamon.

"Annoying flies!" shouted Milleniummon as a Phoenixmon delivered a Crimson Flame attack to his chest. "You will all suffer for this outrage!" As the digimon fought, Izzy was busy bringing up their data.

Digimon Analyzer (All in Izzy's voice)

"Phoenixmon are Legendary Bird type digimon that use their Crimson Flame attack to incinerate their enemies."

"Gryphonmon are Legendary Beast type digimon whose Legendary Blade attack can cut through almost anything."

"Diaboromon are unidentified Mega digimon. Not much is known about them except that their attack is Web Wrecker."

"MetalSeadramon are Android digimon whose River of Power attack is virtually unstoppable."

"Machinedramon are Machine type digimon that use their Giga Cannon attack to blow away their enemies."

"GranKuwagamon are Insectoid digimon whose X-Scissor Claw attack can cut through the very fabric of space and time."

"River of Power!" cried the five MetalSeadramon, each one releasing a blast of golden energy from their noses. Each blast slammed into Milleniummon's chest, knocking the giant digimon back a few steps.

"Giga Cannon!" cried the Machinedramon, each one firing their cannons at Milleniummon. But this time, Milleniummon was ready. As the blasts came within a split second of hitting him, he flung out his arms, knocking all the blasts back at Machinedramon. Each one tried to dodge, but three of them were unlucky enough to fall victim to their own attack.

"Fools! You can not stop me!" cried Milleniummon as his cannons powered up. "Dimensional Cannon!" he cried, launching several blasts of rainbow energy from his cannons. Two MetalSeadramon, four Phoenixmon, and three more Machinedramon fell victim to his attack, their data scattering through the air.

"This isn't good," said Ken as he watched the loosing battle along with the others.

"He's just too strong," said BlackGatomon.

"No!" cried Takato's voice from Gallantmon. "We can't give up. There are hundreds of dimensions out there that are counting on us to win!" Everyone looked up to see that the sky had become even more clustered with different dimensional openings than before. "If we give up now, then we'll be sentencing all those worlds, all those beings, to death without them even having a chance to survive."

"You're right Takato! I won't give up either! Let's go!" cried Guilmon's voice as Gallantmon started to run towards the fight.

"Neither will we," said WarGreymon as he and MetalGarurumon rejoined their friends after having recovered from Milleniummon's attack.

"He's right. We fought MaloMyostismon even though it looked hopeless," said Ken

"You ready Paildramon?" asked Davis, looking back at his and Ken's partner.

"Yeah!" cried Paildramon as a blast of blue light came down from the sky and wrapped around his body. "Paildramon, Mega Digivolve to…!" he cried as his body morphed into a giant dragon clad in black armor with a pair of red wings and a giant cannon on his back. "Imperialdramon!"

"Go get him Imperialdramon!" cried Davis and Ken together as the giant dragon digimon flew into the air, the cannon on his back powering up.

"Positron Laser!" cried Imperialdramon, firing a giant laser from the cannon. Milleniummon, locked in hand-to-hand combat with a GranKuwagamon, was caught by surprise as the giant laser slammed into his head, blinding him and giving the GranKuwagamon the chance he needed to deliver a powerful uppercut with his left claw, knocking Milleniummon onto his back.

"Yeah!" cried Davis and Ken together.

"Everyone! Attack!" cried Silphymon as he gathered a ball of electric energy in his hands. "Static Force!" he cried, tossing it at Milleniummon.

"Justice Beam!" cried Shakkoumon, firing a beam of energy from his eyes at Milleniummon.

"Shield of the Just!" cried Gallantmon, firing a beam of red energy from his shield.

"Gargo Missile!" cried MegaGargomon, launching both of his giant missiles.

"Spirit Strike!" cried Sakuyamon as several dragon spirits appeared and flew straight at Milleniummon.

"Terra Force!" cried WarGreymon, tossing a giant ball of energy at Milleniummon.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" cried MetalGarurumon, breathing a blast of cold energy from his mouth.

"Vulcan's Hammer!" cried Zudomon, slamming his hammer into the ground, sending a bolt of lightning at Milleniummon.

"Wing Blade!" cried Garudamon, launching a blazing firebird from her wings.

"Horn Buster!" cried MegaKabuterimon, firing a blast of electricity from his horn.

"Flower Cannon!" cried Lillymon as her hands morphed into a giant flower, firing a blast of green energy.

"Corona Destroyer!" cried Beelzemon, drawing a star in the air with his blaster, then firing a blast into it, causing the attack to triple in size and power. All the attacks engulfed Milleniummon, an immense explosion resulting from the combined force of the attacks, knocking all the kids to the ground from the shock waves. Milleniummon cried out as his body disintegrated into complete nothingness, leaving behind nothing but the plasma wings, which fell to the ground.

"That did it," said TK. But as soon as he said this, they all heard Milleniummon's voice call out.

"Ultimate Fusion!" cried the voice as the giant cloud of smoke that had resulted from the explosion swirled around in the air, forming a giant twister that swept up the remaining Mega digimon from the force that Beelzemon had brought.

"I don't believe it…," said Izzy as he watched the Mega digimon burst into digital data. The twister then swirled back down to the patch of land where Milleniummon's remains were. Everyone watched in horror as the digital data fused together, becoming the body of Milleniummon. It then fused with the wings, becoming one once again. As the wind died down, Milleniummon burst out laughing.

"You are all fools!" he cried, raising his body up to its full height. "I was created from hundreds of digimon who tried to digivolve past their limits. And because of this, I can simply restore my body by using the digital information of just a few digimon."

"How can we possibly win against something like that," said Davis under his breath.

"You just watch and see," said Imperialdramon, leaping into the air as his body glowed with a bright light. "Imperialdramon, Mode Change to…!" cried Imperialdramon, his body morphing into a giant humanoid form, the cannon on his back moving down to his right wrist. "Fighter Mode!"

"Even changing forms won't save you!" said Milleniummon.

"We'll see about that! Let's attack together Gallantmon," said Imperialdramon as a giant cannon appeared in his hands.

"You bet! Shield of the Just!" cried Gallantmon, firing another beam of energy from his shield.

"Giga Crusher!" cried Imperialdramon, firing the cannon in his hands, launching a giant blast of white energy. Both attacks swirled together into one giant blast that slammed into Milleniummon, his body disintegrating once again. But just like last time, he used his Ultimate Fusion to steal the digital data from a nearby village of In-Training Kokomon and reform his body once again.

"You just don't learn, do you?" said Milleniummon.

"Our turn!" cried WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon together as their bodies became engulfed in a cocoon of white light. WarGreymon's shield wings snapped together, his whole body becoming digital data that then entered his helmet, an arm extending from within his head, the shield on the end which snapped into a vertical position. MetalGarurumon's wings and tails retraced into his body, which then also transformed into digital data that went into his helmet as an arm extend from within his head.

"WarGreymon!" cried WarGreymon's voice.

"MetalGarurumon!" cried MetalGarurumon's voice.

"DNA Digivolve to…!" cried the two voices as a white body with a flowing cape formed in-between the two arms. "Omnimon!"

"Now he'll be sorry!" said Matt as he watched the end of the transformation. Omnimon landed in-between Imperialdramon and Gallantmon.

"Now we'll see who's stronger," said Omnimon as he lifted his WarGreymon arm into the air. "Transcendent Sword!" he cried as a giant black blade extended from the mouth of the WarGreymon arm. Milleniummon simply laughed at the gesture.

"You just don't learn. Destroy me and I will simply reconstruct myself. You can't win!" cried Milleniummon as he powered up his cannons. "Dimensional Cannon!" he cried, firing two blasts of rainbow energy at Omnimon.

"Let's see how you handle your own attack!" cried Omnimon, slashing the blasts of energy with his sword, reflecting them back at Milleniummon.

"How predictable," said Milleniummon as he blocked the two blasts with two more blasts from his cannons. "Give up!"

"Never!" cried Omnimon, a giant cannon extending from the MetalGarurumon arm. "Supreme Cannon!" cried Omnimon, firing a blast from the cannon.

"Dimensional Cannon!" cried Milleniummon, firing two blasts from his cannons. Both attacks met dead center of the two digimon. Unfortunately, Milleniummon's Dimensional Cannon broke through and slammed into Omnimon, knocking him over to the ground. "Enough of these games!" cried Milleniummon as he powered up his cannons. He then released a none-stop barrage of blasts from his cannons, engulfing Omnimon, Imperialdramon, and Gallantmon in rainbow energy. As the energy faded, all three digimon were laying motionless on the ground.

"No! Takato!" cried Rika's voice from Sakuyamon.

"Omnimon!" cried Matt and Tai together.

"Imperialdramon!" cried Davis and Ken together.

"That was simple enough," said Milleniummon, laughing slightly. He then looked up at the rift his body had come through, seeing the thousands of dimensions that were appearing inside the rift. "Yes. The dimensional barriers between the dimensions are falling. Time for me to finish what I began." With that, he flew up into the rift. By now, the others had gathered around their fallen comrades, trying to see if they were still alive.

"Gallantmon…Gallantmon, wake up," said Sakuyamon, who was hunched over the knight digimon.

"Imperialdramon, speak to us," said Davis as he and Ken looked upon their friend.

"Omnimon…please get up," said Tai as he and Matt looked upon their partner. Suddenly, all three digimon opened their eyes, looking dazed but otherwise unharmed.

"But…how…?" stuttered Sora as she and the others watched the digimon get to their feet.

"I'm not sure myself," said Gallantmon as he looked himself over.

"Let's just be glad that we aren't data scrapes," said Imperialdramon.

"I'll second that," said Omnimon. Suddenly, a black bolt of lightning shot down from the rift in the sky.

"Oh no! Milleniummon's preparing to destroy the dimensional plane by destroying every single dimension in one shot!" cried Izzy as another bolt of lightning sot down from the rift.

"I've had enough of this guy! It's time we go all out!" cried Gallantmon as he started to glow a bright red color. "Gallantmon, Mode Change to…!" cried Gallantmon as crimson colored armor formed over his body, his lance becoming replaced by a glowing white sword, his shield being replaced with a glowing white staff. "Crimson Mode!"

"Right! Time to get tough!" said Imperialdramon.

"We're ready when you are," said Omnimon. Both digimon leaped into the air, their bodies glowing a bright white.

"Omnimon…!" cried Omnimon as his form burst into data.

"Imperialdramon…!" cried Imperialdramon as the data started to collect around his body. The data then wrapped around his black armor, fusing to it and turning it white. More of the data fused to his wings, turning them white as well. Finally, a giant white sword appeared in his hands. "DNA Mode Change to…Paladin Mode!"

**********

Meanwhile, up in the rift, Milleniummon was taking in the sight of all the dimensions.

"Finally! After all this time, I can finally have my vengeance on this world and all others!" he cried.

"Final Justice!" cried a voice. Milleniummon looked down to the source just in time to get hit with a blast of white light compliments of Gallantmon.

"You again! How is it possible!" cried Milleniummon.

"It's as possible as this is! Omega Sword!" cried a second voice. Milleniummon looked up only to get slashed across the head by a giant white sword. Milleniummon let out a cry as his form broke apart again. But as usual, he reconstructed it within a few seconds time.

"However you managed to survive my attack, you won't escape this time. Dimensional Cannon!" cried Milleniummon, firing several blasts from his cannons. Imperialdramon and Gallantmon both started to fly all about the inter-dimensional rift, dodging the blasts as best they could.

"Well, now what?" cried Gallantmon as a blast exploded less than ten feet from him.

"I'm open to suggestions," said Imperialdramon just before a blast connected with him, making him cry out in pain.

"I've had enough of this. I will destroy you and the dimensional plane in one shot!" cried Milleniummon. Suddenly, a giant head burst forth from the plasma wings, letting out a loud eagle-like screech.

"What is that!?" cried Imperialdramon and Gallantmon together. The head suddenly shot a blast of plasma from its mouth, the attack connecting with both digimon sending hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity surging through their bodies, both digimon falling to the ground in exhaustion.

"That was simple enough," said Milleniummon.

**********

Back in both the Tamers' and the Digidestineds' world, everyone was watching the battle play out in the sky. In fact, all beings in every dimension watched as the three digimon did battle. Everyone held their breath as they watched the two digimon fall to the ground after Milleniummon's attack. And this is when the final part of the prophecy came true. Every being, human, digimon, or alien, reached out with their hearts to the two fallen warriors. From every corner of the dimensional plane, beings gave the power of their hearts to aid Imperialdramon and Gallantmon.

**********

"And now, to destroy the dimensional plane once and for all!" cried Milleniummon as the head in the plasma wings started to gather energy in its mouth, the cannons on Milleniummon's back also gathering power. Suddenly, a blast of white light shot from every dimensional rift, the light converging on Gallantmon and Imperialdramon. Both of them rose to their feet with new energy surging through them, and the knowledge of what they needed to become.

"Gallantmon…!" cried Gallantmon as his body burst into data.

"Imperialdramon, DNA Mode Change to…!" cried Imperialdramon as Gallantmon's data fused with his own, changing the color of his armor to a deep crimson red color, and causing the Omega Sword to suddenly become a sword of pure white light. "Crimson Paladin Mode!"

Digimon Analyzer (Imperialdramon's voice)

"I am Imperialdramon Crimson Paladin Mode. I am the final digivolution of Imperialdramon, infused with the power of Gallantmon. My Final Justice Omega Sword is unstoppable!"

"Fools! You are too late to stop me!" cried Milleniummon as the electricity from the plasma wings surged into his two cannons, the two attacks combining into one single powerful attack. "Dimensional Destroyer!" cried Milleniummon, firing a blast of electrically charged rainbow energy at the center of the dimensional rift, where if a powerful enough blast were to occur, it would cause the whole rift to collapse in on itself and drag all the other dimensions with it.

"No!" cried Imperialdramon. But just before the blast hit the center, four figures appeared in front of the blast and repelled it.

"Imperialdramon! It's up to you now!" cried Azulongmon.

"The Digimon Sovereigns!" cried Takato's voice. "They gave us the chance we need. Let's make it count."

"Right!" said the other three voice's. Suddenly, the head on the plasma wings let out a screech of frustration. That's when it hit Takato.

"His wings…His wings!" cried Takato's voice.

"What?" asked the other three voices, all of them confused as to what Takato was saying.

"Attack the wings! That's his weak spot! If we destroy the wings, we destroy him!" cried Takato's voice.

"Okay!" cried Imperialdramon, flying up to within fifty yards of Milleniummon. "You're finished!" As Imperialdramon said this, the white sword started to glow even brighter, the blade itself crackling with energy.

"Huh!?" cried Milleniummon, realizing that Imperialdramon knew his secret.

"Final Justice Omega Sword!" cried Imperialdramon, rushing forward and bring the sword crashing down onto the head of Milleniummon's wings, the head letting out a loud screech of pain as it exploded into data along with the wings.

"No! How!? How could I be destroyed by the likes of you…!" cried out Milleniummon as his body disintegrated, leaving behind nothing. Imperialdramon let out a loud sigh as he lowered his sword.

"We did it…," he sighed as he flew back down out of the rift as it started to close, the digimon Sovereigns following close behind. Imperialdramon flew down to the waiting group of children and digimon, changing back into Koromon, Tsunomon, DemiVeemon, Minomon, Guilmon, and Takato.

"That was awesome!" cried Tai as he picked up Koromon, hugging the Micro digimon.

"No offense Tai, but can we go home now?" asked Koromon. Everyone couldn't help but laugh, letting out the tension that had mounted in the last twenty minutes. Suddenly, Izzy's laptop started to beep.

"We've got mail from Genni," said Izzy. Everyone gathered around as Izzy brought up the message.

"What's it say?" asked Cody.

"Congratulations Digidestined! We all witnessed your victory over Milleniummon here in our Digital World. I'm sure that everyone everywhere saw the battle as well, and I'm sure that they are all grateful that you stopped him," said Genni's voice. "Unfortunately, with the destruction of Milleniummon, the gate between our Digital World and the Tamer's is starting to disappear. I'm afraid that you only have a few minutes to say your good-byes. We'll be waiting for your return."

"Why is it every time we defeat one of these ultra powerful digimon, the Digital World always seems to want to end our celebrating early?" said Tai.

"Well, I must say that this sure was an adventure to remember," said Takato, raising his hand towards Davis. Davis took it and gave it a shake.

"Same here. Who knows? Maybe we'll see you guys again some day," said Davis.

"Maybe," said Takato. Izzy looked up from his laptop.

"Time to go guys. The Digi Port will only stay open for another minute," said Izzy. All of the Digidestined kids and their digimon gathered around Izzy's laptop, each one yelling out their good-byes and waving as TK opened the Digi Port back to their Digital World, the laptop drawing them into it, then the laptop itself disappearing into its own Digi Port.

"Well, their on their way home, but how are we supposed to get home?" asked Rika, looking up at the Real World above their heads. Azulongmon floated down next to them, giving them a smile.

"Don't worry Tamers. I will take you back personally," said Azulongmon as he covered them in a cloud sphere, picking them up in his claw as he rose towards the Real World above.

**********

One week later, life was back to normal around the Shinjuku area, aside from everyone commenting on how Takato and Guilmon were heroes. Rika and Renamon kept up with their training, making sure that they'd be ready if something like this ever happened again. Henry and Terriermon were on vacation to America along with Suzy and Lopmon. Ryo and Monodramon spent their days in the park, Monodramon chasing birds and squirrels while Ryo beat the living days out of Kenta and Kazu in the Digimon card game. Guardromon and MarineAngemon spent their days helping their Tamer's parents around the house. Guardromon felt that it was his duty to help a maiden in distress, including a housewife that needed help with the chores. MarineAngemon saw his helping out as merely a game. He would use his Kahuna Waves to wash everything he could find, thinking it as more of a game of target practice than doing work. As for Impmon and BlackGatomon, well…let's just see what they're up to.

**********

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked BlackGatomon as she stood on a limb of a tree in the park. Impmon looked up at BlackGatomon, trying to reassure the black feline.

"Trust me. This is just what you need," said Impmon.

"Impmon! There you are!" cried a voice. Impmon turned to the sound of the voice, smiling at the young children that stood before him.

"Well, you found me Mako. Where was Ai hiding?" asked Impmon. The young boy pointed to where Guilmon's old home used to be.

"She was hiding over there," said Mako. Impmon glanced up to see BlackGatomon watching with interest above them. Now was the time.

"Hey Ai…Mako…I have someone I want you to meet," said Impmon.

"You do?" asked Mako.

"Who is it?" asked Ai. Impmon looked up into the tree. Ai and Mako's eyes followed Impmon's glance to where BlackGatomon sat.

"Oh what a cute kitten!" cried Ai. BlackGatomon couldn't help but blush at the comment. No one had called her cute before.

"Guys. I'd like you to meet BlackGatomon. Come on down!" called Impmon. BlackGatomon let out a low sigh, then jumped down out of the tree, landing perfectly in front of the two kids.

"A pleasure to meet you," said BlackGatomon, giving a traditional Japanese bow.

"Likewise," said Ai and Mako together, both of them returning the bow. Impmon nudged BlackGatomon in the side.

"Told ya they'd love you," said Impmon. BlackGatomon giggled slightly, then gave Impmon a playful push before running off into the park.

"Hey! No fair!" cried Impmon as he ran after her. Ai and Mako both followed after them, BlackGatomon's push eventually turning into a game of tag that lasted for a couple hours. Afterwards, they all sat down on the side of a hill and watched the sunset.

"You were right," said BlackGatomon to Impmon as the sun gave off a colorful display of reds, yellows, and oranges. "Your tamers are the best in the world."

"Yeah…," said Impmon. He then looked over at BlackGatomon. "But it's even better now that you're here." BlackGatomon smiled and snuggled up next to Impmon. As the sun finally fell behind the horizon, Ai and Mako got up and started to walk towards their home, Impmon following. BlackGatomon watched as they walked away when Ai turned around.

"You're welcome to come home with us if you want," she said in a sweet voice. BlackGatomon smiled and bounded up next to her.

"I'd love to," said BlackGatomon. Suddenly, a bright flash of white light appeared in the air a few feet above Ai's head. The four of them watched in awe as the light fell into Ai's hands, turning into a digivice.

"I don't believe it," said Impmon. "Ai's just become…"

"My tamer…," said BlackGatomon, finishing Impmon's statement. BlackGatomon suddenly couldn't help but cry. How her life had changed so much since the day she had digivolved. She now had something she thought that she would never have. A caring tamer, a loving friend, and a wonderful family. Impmon smiled as he watched Ai kneel down and hug the sobbing feline.

"I knew she was something special," said Impmon under his voice. Ai then picked up BlackGatomon in her arms, the feline nuzzling her head against Ai.

"I've never felt so safe and secure before. I guess I was wrong about humans all this time. They can be caring," thought BlackGatomon as Ai and Mako started to walk back home, their new friend falling asleep in Ai's arms. For once in her life, BlackGatomon finally felt at rest. She had finally found her place in the world. In the years to come, she and Impmon would become soul mates. And while Ai and Mako had both grown up and moved out of their home, BlackGatomon and Impmon still lived with Ai. Mako would drop by ever so often to visit with them, and the little Salamon that ran about the house. Indeed, life couldn't be better for the feline and imp that both had the same opinions about humans.

THE END

"Hey! What about me!" cries the voice of Calumon as he flies onto the screen. "How come I wasn't in this story? Doesn't anyone like me anymore?" Calumon looks sad, then begins to sniff the air. Suddenly, his eyes light up and his ears extend. "I smell creampuffs! Yay!" he cries as he flies off the screen. "Forget about being in this story! I'd rather eat creampuffs any day of the week!" says the voice of Calumon.
