Chapter 27: The Final Battle

Rico stands about 20 feet away from Lord Himi. Both facing each other ready to fight to the death. The DigiDestined & the others felt that the only they could do now was just watch the battle & hope Rico wins.
"Now my friend," said Himi, "prepare to die."
Himi gets into position to attack. So does Rico. Both are focus on each other. Himi & Rico both make their move. Both run toward each other & the final battle begins.
As soon as both fighters are about on each other they begin to fight. The battle is like Mortal Kombat! Both fighters try to attack each other with multiple Kung-Fu punching & kicking techniques. Both successfully block & dodges each other's moves. Their moves are fast. Amazing. With Himi having four arms, he would have the upper hand, however Rico acts faster than Himi, so he successfully blocks & dodges Himi's every move. The fight starts to intense. Punch, kick, kick, punch, punch, block, block, dodge, block, chop, jump, kick, kick, dodge, punch, punch, block, kick, kick, kick, punch, punch, chop, chop, dodge, dodge, punch! A continuing random combination of punches, kicks, chops, blocks, jump, & dodges! It's an intense battle already.
Himi then tries to flip Rico off his feet with his tail. Rico avoids this move as soon as it comes by jumping over Himi & landing a few feet behind him. Rico then tries one of his special powers.
"PRESSURE CANNON!" said Rico.
Rico puts his hands together in an open position facing Himi. A blue ball of light forms in his hands. He fires the weapon.
A hit! The blue energy ball hits Himi in the chest & explodes! Himi is thrown back a few feet by the blast. He is still on his feet though.
"Great shot Rico!" said Ajax.
Himi gets into position to attack with one of his special powers.
"Try this Rico!" said Himi.
Himi points his upper right arm at Rico. His hand closed in a fist.
"BLACK PULSAR!" said Himi.
His fist begins to glow in black. He then fires a black ball of dark matter at Rico.
Rico is hit! Te dark matter hits Rico & explodes, throwing Rico all the way to the edge of the platform. Rico almost went over, but Rico catches his balance.
"Hey DigiDestined!" said Himi looking at the gang. The DigiDestined & the others listen to him, "Now that is a attack I'll use on you guys when your turn is up! Ha ha!"
"You know Himi," said Tai, "you give villains a very bad name!"
"Our son is right!" said Tai's Dad.
"You're wrong," said Himi, "I give everyone a bad name!"
"Himi," said Rico, "I swear by the Soul of Kaless, you will not live to see another day!"
"And I swear by the Code of Darkness, you will be destroyed!" said Himi.
Himi & Rico both run toward each other & the fight continues. Rico & Himi continue their fight with more karate & hand-to-hand techniques. Punch, punch, punch, kick, dodge, kick, kick, chop, chop, block, punch, punch, block, block, block, kick, kick, jump, chop, punch, kick, punch, chop, jump, jump, dodge, dodge, block, kick, kick, punch, block, punch, punch, kick, kick, jump, block, chop, chop, chop, kick, kick, punch! The battle is like both Dragonball Z & Mortal Kombat, with intense fighting! Both fighters are hitting, dodging, & blocking each other so fast, it's hard for the DigiDestined & the others to keep up with each of their moves.
The DigiDestined & their parents couldn't believe how fast & intense the fight was getting every minute. Tai, Kari, Sora, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, Matt, & T.K. wondered if Rico was either going to win or lose. They could not be sure. Their parents & their digimon wondered the same thing. VT-10 hopes that Rico wins. He doesn't want to lose his master to Lord Himi. Maya & Ajax were wishing deep inside their thoughts that Rico wins. Rald & VT-03 were wishing the same thing.
Rico & Himi are still locked in their fight to the death. Punching & kicking, blocking & chopping, jumping & dodging. It's a close-in combat. Himi tries to hit Rico with his tail, but Rico dodges the attack.
Then, just as Rico was about to hit Himi with a punch, Bam! Himi punches Rico hard in the chest with his lower left arm. Rico is thrown back a few feet & recovers from to blow.
"What you're doing is pointless Himi!" said Rico, "You should just give while you still have a soul!"
"Never!" said Himi, "I plan on getting rid of you once & for all!"
"You still don't know what you're doing! With that much power from both the digivice & the bio-morpher you are completely out of control!"
"I'm in complete control!"
"With the two morphers combined power you're just a virus!"
"You're the virus! I'm the final product!"
"Hey Himi!" called Mimi. Himi looks up her & listens, "Why don't you just get a live or something?!"
"Yeah?!" said Mimi's Mom.
"Why don't you two shut up before I decide to kill you both next?!" said Himi.
Just as Himi responded, Rico made his move. Rico runs at Himi & gets ready to deliver his punch.
"LIGHTNING PUNCH!" said Rico.
As soon as Rico gets to Himi, just as Himi was turning to face Rico, he delivers a massive punch with his right hand.
BAM! Himi is hit right in the face, & is thrown clear across the chamber into the wall! Himi makes a big hole in the wall among impact. Himi is the hole, not moving. It looks like it's over.
"Alright Rico!" said Agumon.
"You got him!" said Wizardmon.
"Looks like it's over now!" said T.K.'s Mom.
Just as everyone thought it was over, Himi gets out of the hole & jumps across the chamber & back on to the platform. The gang doesn't like the looks of this.
"Man he's still doesn't know when to quit!" said Jim.
Himi looked very angry. Everyone could tell because Himi was growling to himself in anger.
"So," said Himi, "It looks like I'll have to destroy you in a more better way."
Himi locks his arms in crosses. Hands closed in fists. Himi then starts to glow in black. The gang starts to wonder what Himi is up to.
Himi starts to grow! The gang is now in shock. So is Rico. Himi's body continues to grow & grow. His arms, legs, body, tail & head just keep getting bigger & bigger. Soon, Himi stops glowing & stops growing.
Everyone is in shock. Himi is now human-size!
"Ho my god," said Matt's Dad.
"No way!" said Biyomon.
"He must have the ability to change his size!" said Izzy.
"By the Moons of Dune!" said VT-03.
"Now I've seen everything!" said Mimi's Dad.
"Ha ha!" laughed Himi, "Now that I'm human-size, I'm going to kill you!"
"I don't think so!" said Rico.
Rico runs toward Himi & prepares to use his Lightning Punch again.
"LIGHTNING PUNCH!"
Rico punches Himi in the chest. No effect! Himi is as hard as a rock!
"HA HAH HA!" laugh Himi, "You think that stupid punch is going to hurt me?!"
"He's unaffected by my punch!" said Rico.
Himi grabs Rico. Rico's head & legs stick out of Himi's upper right hand. He tolds him tight in front of his face.
"I'm sick & tired of you," said Himi, "So why don't just take a nap & I'll kill you later!"
Himi then prepares to throw Rico. He wines up, the pitch, & throws Rico across the chamber with all his might. BAM!! Rico crashes into the wall! A cloud of smoke appears from the impact. It takes a minute for the smoke to clear. When it clears up, the gang sees Rico's hand hanging out from the big hole he made. He's not moving.
"RICO!!" yelled Maya.
"MASTER!" yelled VT-10.
Everyone is in shock. They fear that Rico has lost the fight.
"HA HA!" laughed Himi. He turns & faces the DigiDestined & the others, "One down! Who's next?!"
The gang run over & gather around the hole where Rico lays. They all see Rico's body laying motionless in the hole. Maya steps in tries to get Rico's body out of the hole. She takes him out a little bit, letting only his upper body hanging out of the hole.
"Rico," said Maya, "are you O.K.?"
No response.
"Let me look," said Rald.
Rald steps in & looks at Rico for a moment. He pats Rico on the shoulder to see if there is a response. Nothing.
"He's out cold," said Rald.
"Ho Rico," said Kari with some tears in her eyes.
Rex shrieked in sorrow.
"Hey DigiDestined!" called Himi. The whole gang turns & looks down at Himi, "Shall we get this party started?! I want to fight!"
The gang looks at Himi with anger in their eyes.
"You fiend!" said Matt with anger, "You want to fight, very well!"
"Looks like it's our turn guys!" said Andromon.
"Right!" said everyone.
"Alright then," said Tai, "Let's do this! Go for it guys!"
The DigiDestined's digivices begin to glow. Their digimon begin to digivolve.
"Agumon digivolve toGREYMON!"
"Gabumon digivolve toGARURUMON!"
"Biyomon digivolve toBIRDRAMON!"
"Tentomon digivolve toKABUTERIMON!"
"Palmon digivolve toTOGEMON!"
"Gomamon digivolve toIKKAKUMON!"
"Patamon digivolve toANGEMON!"
The DigiDestined's digimon, along with Leomon, Andromon, Wizardmon, VT-03, Rald, & Maya, jump across the chamber from the catwalk to the platform. They all land together safely a few feet away from Himi.
"So you all want a piece of me?!" said Himi, "Alright! Party time!"
"Let's show him what were made of!" said Rald.
"Right!" said the gang.
The gang begin their attack. They fire their powers.
"GREEN FIRE!" said Rald.
He points his left arm out at Himi & fires a large green ball of fire from his fist.
"RINGS OF CELEST!" said Maya.
She points both arms out, putting both hands together. Then, a few pink rings of light fire from her hands.
"DELTA MISSILES!" said VT-03.
"NOVA BLAST!" said Greymon.
"HOWLING BLASTER!" said Garurumon.
"METEOR WING!" said Birdramon.
"ELECTRO SHOCKER!" said Kabuterimon.
"NEEDLE SPRAY!" said Togemon.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!" said Ikkakumon.
"HAND OF FATE!" said Angemon.
"LIGHTNING CLAW!" said Gatomon.
"FISTS OF THE BEASTKING!" said Leomon.
"RING MISSILES, FIRE!" said Andromon.
"DIGITAL MAGIC!" said Wizardmon.
The gang's firepower heads right at Himi. BOOM! There is a explosion as soon as their powers hit Himi. The explosion makes a cloud of smoke. It takes a minute for the smoke to clear. As soon as it does, the gang sees Himi still standing. His armor has some scratches, so he has gotten some damage.
"HA!," said Himi, "I see you got me a little, but not enough! Ha ha! Now try this on for size! BLACK PULSAR!"
Himi fires his weapon. The gang dodges the attack. The Black Pulsar hits the wall. Boom! There's a explosion.
The DigiDestined & their parents, Gennei, Ajax, & VT-10 are still with Rico. He is still unconscious. Ajax holds Rico's hand.
"Is Rico going to be O.K.?" asked Izzy's Dad.
"I'm not sure," said Ajax, "He's been hit pretty badly. He could be unconscious for a little while."
"Man," said Tai, "Himi gave Rico one major hangover."
"Please my Master," said VT-10, "Please be O.K."
The DigiDestined & their parent turn to see what is happening in the fight.
The digimon, VT-03, Rald, & Maya split up to attack Himi from different areas of the platform. Himi points each of his arms at one of the digimon, & fires black fireballs from his hands. Some of the digimon dodge or jump from the fireballs. Some of the fireballs just miss their targets all together.
"Told still!" said Himi as he continued to fire.
"RING OF CELEST!" said Maya.
Maya fires her weapon. Himi avoids the attack.
"DELTA MISSILES!" said VT-03.
VT-03 fires his missiles. Himi gets hit by a few, put dodges the rest.
"GREEN FIRE!" said Rald.
He fires his attack from behind Himi. Himi is hit again, but still stands.
"METEOR WING!" said Birdramon.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!" said Ikkakumon.
They fire their powers. Himi jumps out of the side of their attacks. Their firepower hits the ground & explodes.
"RING MISSILES, FIRE!" said Andromon.
"NEEDLE SPRAY!" said Togemon.
"ELECTRO SHOCKER!" said Kabuterimon.
Their firepower heads right at Himi. Himi jumps out of the way again. The firepower misses.
"HAND OF FATE!" said Angemon.
"HOWLING BLASTER!" said Garurumon.
"NOVA BLAST!" said Greymon.
"LIGHTNING CLAW!" said Gatomon.
"DIGITAL MAGIC!" said Wizardmon.
"FIST OF THE BEASTKING!" said Leomon.
They fire their powers as soon as Himi jumped. Boom! Himi is hit. Himi falls to the ground. He hits the ground, but soon gets right back up.
"There's no stopping this clown!" said Ikkakumon.
"Try this kids!" said Himi, "SONIC BLAST!"
Himi raises his arms into the air. Then, a powerful blast of wind explodes out of him! It blasts the digimon, VT-03, Rald, & Maya all the way to the walls. The blast knocks the hell out of them. They fall from the walls to the catwalk. They are weaken by the attack. They can't move.
"Ho no!" said Joe, "Our digimon!"
Himi lowers his arms. Then he raises one of his arms. He closes his hand into a fist & then raises his index & middle fingers together. They start to glow. The digimon, Rald, Maya, & VT-03 are then lifted off the ground. Himi is using some sort of telekinetic power. The gang regains some strength & realize what's happening. They try to get loss from Himi's power, but they are helpless. Himi's got them. Himi brings them all together in front of him, a few feet from the surface of the platform & about two or three feet away from him. Himi speaks to them & they listen.
"This awesome power! Now I know what it feels like for you digimon when you digivolve! It's incredible! I have never felt a power like this before! With it, I could rule the universe! Therefore I thank you digimon very much for this gift!"
"You won't get away with this Himi!" said Angemon, "Let us go!"
"Ho I will," said Himi, "As soon as I destroy you!"
"You know Himi," said Birdramon, "if Rico is right about the fusion of the digivice & the bio-morpher, then you're going destroy yourself!"
"You're wrong," said Himi, "The morphers feed me! I can feel it getting stronger! As far as I'm concern, you all lose!"
Then, without anyone noticing, Rico regains consciousness. Ajax is the first to notice.
"Rico?" said Ajax, "Guys look!"
The DigiDestined & their parents & VT-10 turn & look at Rico.
"Master?" said VT-10.
Rico gets up. He stands on the edge of the hole with his back facing Ajax & the others. He then turns around & faces everyone. His eyes start to glow in bright light. His body then starts to glow in red flame. The DigiDestined are a little concern on this.
"Rico?" said Kari.
Rico starts to get enraged. He raises his hands & locks them in fists. Ajax knows exactly what he's doing.
"I think we better step back," said Ajax, "Because Rico is starting to get really pissed off!"
Rico continues to get more & more enraged. They can see that Ajax is right. Tai, Kari, Sora, Izzy, & their parents take a step to their right, & Joe, Mimi, Matt, T.K., their parents, Gennei, Rex, Ajax & VT-10 take a step to the left to give Rico room, giving him clear space to jump from the catwalk to the platform. When Rico gets enough rage & power, he takes a step forward.
"HIMI!" yelled Rico with anger.
Himi turns, looks up & sees Rico.
"Alright Rico," said Rald.
"What?!" said Himi.
Then Rico explodes into red flames & charges toward Himi, flying as fast as a torpedo! He heads right for Himi's forehead. BAM! Rico hits Himi right in the control-medal with his head. Himi screams in pain from the hit & loses his telekinetic control. The digimon & the others fall on to the platform, landing on their feet. Rico bounces away a few feet from Himi as soon as he hit him. The DigiDestined & the others can now see Himi's weakness.
"So that's Himi's weakness," said Gennei.
"It's that sphere in his forehead," said Matt.
"That's the control-medal," said Ajax, "its a Star Force Ranger's power source & weakness."
"Everyone!" said Rico, "Hit Himi in the control-medal on his forehead now!"
"Right!" said everyone.
The digimon & the others get together with Rico so that Himi was facing them. Himi stood there shaking in pain. The control metal had a crack in it from Rico's move. The DigiDestined's tags & crests begin to glow. Their digimon digivolve again.
"Greymon digivolve toMETALGREYMON!"
"Garurumon digivolve toWEREGARURUMON!"
"Birdramon digivolve toGARUDAMON!"
"Kabuterimon digivolve toMEGAKABUTERIMON!"
"Togemon digivolve toLILYMON!"
"Ikkakumon digivolve toZUDOMON!"
"Angemon digivolve toMANGAANGEMON!"
"Gatomon digivolve toANGEWOMON!"
Himi is still shaking in pain. The gang begin to fire their powers.
"GIGA BLASTER!" said MetalGreymon.
"WOLF CLAW!" said WereGarurumon.
"WING BLADE!" said Garudamon.
"HORN BUSTER!" said MegaKabuterimon.
"FLOWER CANNON!" said Lilymon.
"VULCAN'S HAMMER!" said Zudomon.
"HOLY WATER!" said MangaAngemon.
"CELESTIAL ARROW!" said Angewomon.
"FIST OF THE BEASTKING!" said Leomon.
"RING MISSILES, FIRE!" said Andromon.
"DIGITAL MAGIC!" said Wizardmon.
"GREEN FIRE!" said Rald.
"RINGS OF CELEST!" said Maya.
"DELTA MISSILES!" said VT-03.
The gang fire their powers at Himi. Their firepower hits Himi right in the control-medal! Boom! Himi is pushed back a few feet. He starts to shrink back to his normal size. As soon as Himi returned to his size, Rico flows down to the ground & talks up to him. Himi gets more shaken up in greater pain. He almost screamed. Rico takes his right hand & holds Himi by the neck. Rico flows back into midair, still holding Himi. Rico then takes his other hand & grabs the control-medal. Rico then tries to pull it out.
"Sorry Himi," said Rico, "But this model has been recalled!"
Rico then successfully pulls the control-medal out of its socket, taking out a little flesh with it.
The DigiDestined, their parents, Gennei, Ajax, & VT-03 head down one of the stairways & gathers with the digimon, VT-03, Rald, & Maya. They all saw what Rico did.
Rico lets go of Himi & walks back to the gang. They all look at Himi wondering why Rico did what he did. Rald, Ajax, Maya, Rex, VT-03, & VT-10 knew why & knew what was going to happen next. As for the others, they knew only one thing. The final battle was over. Rico won.
