The Beast of Darkness eyes the five Mega Digimon before him with hate and disdain. "You DigiDestined will never defeat me."
"We'll never surrender to you," James snarls.
"That's right," Daniel says, brandishing his crest Weapon.
"So, you come bearing those," the Beast of Darkness says with disgust, "you are so weak that you require their power to strengthen your Digimon so that they can reach the Mega level. Well, I am beyond Digimon. You can never defeat me."
"You may be beyond Digimon," Jesse says, "but are you beyond the human spirit? Because that is what you are facing."
"The human spirit?" the Beast laughs, "hah! You are easily crushed. Why, most of your kind lives just for the moment. You fight and destroy yourselves for your own greed. And yet your five claim to be representatives of your race? Preposterous!"
"We are representatives of the best qualities of the human race," Brian says, "and so will each and every DigiDestined after us."
"And each generation of DigiDestined will fall to me or one like me," the Beast of Darkness snarls, "for I did not create the Dark Masters. Another being from beyond the Wall of Fire did and he is the one who will destroy the DigiDestined who will come after you. And another Digimon will be the one who will destroy the Digital World in the end."
"So there are three of you," James says.
"Yes," the Beast of Darkness says, "but neither of the other two will come forth if I am not defeated. Apocalymon will be the next to come. And Milleniummon is even stronger than I am. But he will not come if I neither Apocalymon or myself are defeated. And the five of you will never face Apocalymon because I am about to kill you."
"We'll defeat you and destroy them as well," Brian says confidently, "Jesse, whats our plan of attack?"
"Why are you asking me?" Jesse demands, "your our leader."
"But you're the oldest and the most experienced fighter among us," Daniel says, "you have to lead us in this battle!"
"No!" Jesse exclaims, "Brian, have some confidence in yourself. You are far better than you give yourself credit for."
"Stop arguing and lets get this guy," Samantha says.
"Right," the five Digimon chorus and attack the Beast of Darkness. But the Beast easily dodges their attacks and goes on the offensive.
The Beast unleashes a powerful blood-red blast of energy at SkullMammothmon that knocks him out. A similar blast does the same to Phoenixmon and MegaDigitamamon.
"Threads of Fate!"
"Paladin Sword!"
MagnaWizardmon and Paladinmon attack in unison, only to be thrown back by the sheer power at the command of the Beast of Darkness. Paladinmon reverts to his Rookie form of Heromon.
"Leave them alone!" Daniel cries out. The light from his Crest and Crest Weapon shine the brightest, hurting the Beast of Darkness simply with their light.
"If you want to destroy something, simply attacks its source!" the Beast of Darkness laughs triumphantly. He flies in front of Daniel and pierces his heart with a single finger. But the moment the Beast of Darkness touches Daniel, the light of the Crest and Crest Weapon of Faith flare up and burn away his hand. But the damage has been done. Daniel is dead. He falls silently to the floor, not having had the time to scream. SkullMammothmon reverts to Tapirmon, his partner begin dead.
"Daniel!" Samantha screams out in shock.
"No!" James curses, "that's it. Your going down bub."
"I think not," the Beast of Darkness replies blandly. He unleashes a wave of pure force that knocks James off the parapet that he was on and he plummets to his death. MegaDigitamamon reverts to Digitamamon, his partner being dead.
Samantha's eyes widen in shock. "You monster!" she screams, tears flowing from her eyes.
"Like I care what you think of me," the Beast of Darkness says with disinterest, now die, foolish human."
A ball of unholy fire forms in his right hand and he hurls it at Samantha. She doesn't even have time to block with her Crest Weapon before the ball hits her and incinerates her where she stood. Phoenixmon crumples to the ground unconscious, her partner dead.
"Now you pay," Paladinmon says, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"I think not," the Beast says as Paladinmon and MagnaWizardmon leap at him. He grabs them both by the neck and squeezes. He tosses Paladinmon hard to the ground. Paladinmon reverts to Heromon, leaving MagnaWizardmon alone to fight.
"MagnaWizardmon!" Brian calls out, "fight!"
"Let him GOOO!" Jesse yells, his eyes flashing dangerously.
With his yell, light flares up from the Crest of Life, the Crest Weapon of Honor, and Jesse's Digivice. The light seeks the battered and weakened Heromon and gives him renewed strength.
"Heromon Warp Digivolve to…"
In a flash of light from the Digivice, Heromon digivolves to Warriormon. But then the green light of the Crest Weapon of Honor covers him. With another flash, he digivolves into MagnaWarriormon. Then the silver light of the Crest of Life covers him and he Mega Digivolves into Paladinmon. But then a cocoon made up of the three lights envelops Paladinmon. The cocoon then splits open to reveal a new Digimon in his place.
He stood at an even six feet tall and was solidly built. His armor was like Omnimon's, only silver in color and his shoulder and wrist armor was like Seraphimon's, only they were green and bore the Crest of Honor. His leg armor was like Magnamon's and his arms were like MagnaAngemon's. He had a silver beam shield on his left arm. His helmet was like Omnimon's, only it had nothing covering his mouth. A double-edged, narrow-bladed sword hung on his waist. The Crest of Life was scarred on his chest armor.
"SilverWarriormon."
"Who are you?" the Beast of Darkness demands, shielding himself from the light of digivolution.
The Digimon who was once Heromon looks at the Beast of Darkness coldly. "I am SilverWarriormon, a Mega level Holy Warrior Digimon. My Silver Beam and Silver Sword attacks are at their strongest when they are used against an evil Digimon such as yourself."
"So you have two Mega forms," the Beast of Darkness scoffs, "no big deal. You still are no match for me."
"I am more than a match for you," SilverWarriormon replies evenly, "but I cannot use my full power here while Jesse and Brian are here."
SilverWarriormon moves his right arm as silvery light forms in his hand. "Silver Beam!"
A solid beam of silver light shoots out of SilverWarriormon's hand and hits a spot just behind Jesse and Brian. A multicolored portal opens behind the two DigiDestined.
"Go, my friends, and be safe," SilverWarriormon says, "I cannot fight the Beast of Darkness at my full strength with you here. You must go back to your own world where you can be safe. Do not worry. Between MagnaWizardmon and myself, the Beast of Darkness will fall and the Digital World will be safe."
"We can't leave you!" Brian cries out.
"You must," MagnaWizardmon says, "do not worry. When swords and sorcery combine their strength, nothing can stand in their way."
"Come on Brian, lets go," Jesse says, "we definitely don't wanna get in their way. Its not worth the risk. We can do no more here."
"I guess your right," Brian says, bowing his head, "lets we. We don't wanna get in the way."
The last two living DigiDestined head for the portal created by SilverWarriormon.
"Oh, I don't think so," the Beast of Darkness snarls, "Grisly Wing!"
The attack heads straight for Jesse, but Brian sees it in time and shoves Jesse out of the way only to be hit by the dozens of bats instead of their intended target.
"NOOOO!" MagnaWizardmon screams. He turns to the Beast of Darkness and focuses all of his power into his attack, knowing he didn't have much time left.
"Holy Light!" The powerful Holy attack rips into the Beast of Darkness, tearing into his left arm mercilessly.
"Gotcha good," MagnaWizardmon says wanly before de-digivolving to Wizardmon and crumpling to the ground.
"Brian!" Jesse cries out, holding onto Brian as he falls to the ground. Jesse cradles Brian in his arms, sobbing as the leader of the DigiDestined slips away from life.
"Why did you do it, Brian?" Jesse weeps.
"You saw how powerful SilverWarriormon is," Brian gasps, "he's can take care of the Beast of Darkness on his own."
"You still didn't have to sacrifice yourself to save my life," Jesse says, "he could have made one final parting shot, just like MagnaWizardmon did."
"Jesse, it was my choice and I made it," Brian says, "Jesse, can you take me home? I'm getting cold and I long for my home. Its warm there."
"Sure thing pal," Jesse says softly, "I'll take you home. I owe you my life, after all."
Jesse steps through the portal carrying Brian's body.
SilverWarriormon turns to face the Beast of Darkness, eyes ablaze with righteous rage and power. "You vile monster! Now you have gone too far. I will slay you whatever the cost! Silver Beam!"
SilverWarriormon fires a beam of silver energy at the Beast of Darkness, knocking him back into a parapet.
The Beast of Darkness stares at SilverWarriormon wide-eyed. 'Such power! It is impossible! He's just as strong as I am, maybe even stronger! I must destroy him before he can bring his full power to bear on me.'
"Grisly Wing!" The Beast of Darkness launches a Grisly Wing attack at SilverWarriormon, who blocks it with his shield. But while SilverWarriormon is blocking the attack, the Beast of Darkness disappears and reappears right behind him, latching onto him and sinking his fangs into SilverWarriormon.
SilverWarriormon cries out in pain as the Beast's fangs sink into him through his armor. "Aaargh! What do you hope to gain from this, monster?"
As the Beast of Darkness drains the vital energies from SilverWarriormon, his form begins to bloat and distort with power. Finally, he releases SilverWarriormon.
When SilverWarriormon turns around to look at the Beast of Darkness, his eyes widen in horror.
He was now twice the size of what he once was, but the sheer twisted power that emanated from him was more than a hundred times more.
SilverWarriormon panics. 'We're equal now! But he doesn't know it yet. He thinks he drained away most of my strength. But now we are perfectly equal. I only have one chance to eliminate him, and its not gonna be pretty.'
SilverWarriormon boldly faces the Beast of Darkness, his sword at the ready. His sword begins to glow with holy light and power. "Judgment of Life!"
SilverWarriormon launches his ultimate attack at the Beast of Darkness, hitting him square in the chest.
'It's working!' SilverWarriormon thinks triumphantly, 'his power is being divided and split apart. Once he is split apart, I can easily destroy the pieces and save the Digital World."
"Trump Sword!"
"River of Power!"
"Puppet Pummel!"
"Giga Cannon!"
Four attacks appear from nowhere and slam into SilverWarriormon's back, distracting him from the attack.
'The Dark Masters?' SilverWarriormon thinks, 'they are still of no consequence. My power far surpasses their combined power. Wait! The attack!'
SilverWarriormon turns to see that, to his horror, the three pieces that the Beast of Darkness had been split into were still connected. The consciousness of the Beast of Darkness still lived on. One of the Digimon created by the attack looked a lot like the Beast of Darkness.
'I can't destroy them now, but perhaps I can eliminate their threat until I am able to destroy them,' SilverWarriormon thinks. He refocuses the power of his attack and sends one of the three Digimon, a Champion level Demon Digimon, to File Island, where hopefully he would not be reawakened for thousands of years. He sends another Digimon, this one a Mega level Demon Digimon, into a deep sleep under the Server Desert. He doesn't have enough strength left to do anything to the main Digimon, the one who still mostly had the Beast of Darkness' consciousness, so he simply puts him in a deep sleep that hopefully he would not awaken from ever.
Using the last of his strength, SilverWarriormon heads for the rapidly closing portal he had created and follows Jesse and Brian through.

Well, how was the final battle? Nowhere near as good as I had imagined it, but I just couldn't do any more with it. Next up is the epilogue.
By the way, somce time ago I asked this question to everyone who had reviewed my fic and left an e-mail. As you can see, I left things open for a sequel. In fact, this is the first of a trilogy. The problem is, I have two possible sequels. One is the one I had originally planned, and the other is one I wrote on a dare from a friend. I will post them both, making "Tales of the Original DigiDestined" the first installment in two different trilogies. But I want feedback telling me which one to start posting first. One fic is "Return of the Original DigiDestined", and it is the originally planned sequel. The other is "Jun's Digital Adventure", and I wrote it on a dare, but I still like it and want to know what people think of it.
Well, please review and give me your feedback.
"We'll never surrender to you," James snarls.
"That's right," Daniel says, brandishing his crest Weapon.
"So, you come bearing those," the Beast of Darkness says with disgust, "you are so weak that you require their power to strengthen your Digimon so that they can reach the Mega level. Well, I am beyond Digimon. You can never defeat me."
"You may be beyond Digimon," Jesse says, "but are you beyond the human spirit? Because that is what you are facing."
"The human spirit?" the Beast laughs, "hah! You are easily crushed. Why, most of your kind lives just for the moment. You fight and destroy yourselves for your own greed. And yet your five claim to be representatives of your race? Preposterous!"
