Just when Reapermon was within yards of destroying Destiny, SumaAngemon grabbed him from behind, preventing him from making the slash that would have broken SumaAngemon's power. "Takato!" It shouted, "You have to reconnect your sword!" "I can't move, it feels like my arm's still attached to the handle." "Let me give you a hand." SumaAngemon fired beams from its eyes at Destiny, slowly bouncing it towards the handle. "Almost...got it!" The instant Destiny was restored it moved quickly towards Faith to repair it. "Bone Duster!" Reapermon created a massive fire from his claw and threw it at Faith, which was made whole just in time to be hit by Reapermon's attack. Fire consumed the combined blades, burning as hard as it could in order to destroy them. When it extinguished, the swords were charred but intact. Reapermon broke free of SumaAngemon's hold and threw it into the ground, then turned toward the swords. "This time I'll get you for good: Apocalypse Clyclone!" A fire tornado engulfed Reapermon, pulling in anything nearby. "Hurry, get inside a building!" Kiowata shouted to the digidestined. They did so, and sat in waiting, not knowing if they still had any hope of victory or not. When the attack ended, the digidestined walked outside. SumaAngemon slowly got to its feet, then addresses Reapermon. "You have slain thousands of innocent digimon, wantonly destroyed vast areas of the real and digital worlds, and conspired to commit genocide against the human race. For this, you must die." "Who's going to kill me? You? Don't make me laugh, I'm far more powerful than you could ever be." "Your physical strength may be greater than mine, but in order to destroy you I am willing to pay: The Ultimate Price!" SumaAngemon and both swords began to shine brilliantly, and SumaAngemon stabbed Reapermon with Destiny, then held Faith aloft. Energy discharged from both swords, and Reapermon screamed in pain. "What're they doing?" "They are simultaneously killing Reapermon and correcting the balance between good and evil across time and space...at the expense of their lives." "No-they can't!" "It is...they only way." A bright light engulfed Reapermon and SumaAngemon, and when it faded, they both were gone. Takato, Rika, Koromon, Tsunomon, Tokomon, Nyaromon, DemiVeemon, Minomon, Guilmon's in-training form (whatever its called), and Reremon were on the ground near where SumaAngemon had been, unconscious, but there was no sign of TK or Kari.

UR: Before you flame me, there will be a sequel or two to this story (Digimon: 3050, Shadows of the Past) which will probably have TK and Kari alive.
