The Chosen Children had been transported to Alameda, California, where they met Takuya and helped him become pure again. They then searched for Junpei and Tokoki, who had also turned evil. X tried to make Junpei steal and marry Izumi, and kill off Kouji and Takuya, who then nearly killed Kouji. Izumi saved him by evolving to Fairymon and stopping Junpei, who was then purified. Now they must find the last member, Tomoki, and become one team again.
*Opening Theme Song*
-=The Final Conquest=-
The Chosen Children (except Tomoki) were walking along the side of Los Angeles' desert plains in the midst of summer. As they walk, Kouji stares down at his D-Tector and leads the way without a sign on struggle in the arid desert.
"Oh man, it's hot here!" Junpei complained. "I think we should stop- for Izumi's sake."
"I don't need to stop. We can keep going." Izumi played.
"Yeah, we have to save Tomoki!" Takuya declared.
"Man, this hero buisness sure takes a lot out of a guy..." Junpei groaned.
"You haven't even been saving anyone!" Izumi exclaimed. "We've just been walking for... 30 minutes!"
"Now it feels even worst. I haven't walked this much since the gym teacher gave me detention, and even then I didn't go for this long!"
**What a lazy idiot... why did we have to save him, anyways?**
**I really cannot stand his attitude... one more and I swear I'll break him in half. Maybe then he's be a normal weight.** Kouji grumbled in his head, holding away his evil thoughts from being spoken.
"I wonder where Tokoki could be." Takuya sighed.
"Maybe he's at some sort of spa." Junpei fantasized. **And maybe Izumi-chan'll be my massager...** At that point he began to drool.
**Eww, I think he's drooling!** Izumi shivered. **Ugh...**
"Maybe he's in Disneyland!" Takuya exclaimed.
"'Disneyland'?" Kouji asked.
"Yeah, you know, 'Disneyland'! Like the one we have in Japan except better!"
"Oh... one of those Walt Disney things..."
"That'd be so cool!" Izumi exclaimed.
Eventually, they came to, as Takuya guessed, Disneyland.
"Whoa... Takuya was right!" Junpei exclaimed. **Dang, not a spa!**
"Tomoki should be here somewhere. Does anyone have any money?" Kouji asked.
All heads turned to Izumi, who, of course, had money.
"Oh no! I only have enough for, like, two people!" Izumi exclaimed.
"Izumi..." Takuya began to get an evil look on him. "You better have enough money!"
"^.^' but that'll be all the money I have, if I pay for all of us!"
"Then we'll have to camp out." Kouji instantly declared. "Or we could get a hotel and bust into Disneyland."
"'Bust in'? There's something I never thought I'd here..." Takuya exclaimed. "Especially from Kouji."
"So what are we going to do?"
All eyes directed to Izumi again. "Why do I have to make all the desicions?" Izumi wailed.
"Because you have all the money." Takuya shrugged.
"Because you're great!" Junpei tried to kiss up.
"@_@" Kouji rolled his eyes.
"You do know I'm already taken, right?" Izumi asked.
"You are?!" Junpei then fainted.
"Uh oh." Takuya exclaimed. "Looks like you bursted his little heart, Izumi!"
"Oh shut up Takuya." Izumi groaned.
"He just fainted." Kouji confirmed. "He'll be up with a little cold water."
"No way! I'm not wasting any more water on the dump truck!"
"She has a point."
"@_@ Yeah, let's just leave him here." Takuya sarcastically sighed. "Come on, we have to do something about him."
"Let's just let him wake up himself, then."
"Well we can't just leave him here!"
"Fine, you two haul him all the way to the hotel." Izumi broke in.
"On second thought, leaving him here sounds good to me."
"Don't be lazy." Kouji then grabbed Junpei's arms and waited for Takuya to grab his legs.
"Do I have to get his LEGS?"
"Just do it."
The children spent time hauling the over weight 7th grader and searched for a hotel to stay in. Just then, the wind blew.
"Mmm... that feels good..." Izumi sighed as she allowed the wind to touch her body.
Just then, Izumi felt to pieces of paper against her palm.
"What's this?" she put her arm to her view and looked at the papers. "Reservations for the 'West Anaheim Hotel'?"
"That was kinda lucky." Takuya commented.
"So we're staying at West Anaheim Hotel..." Kouji thoughtfully mumbled. "Hmm..."
Once they arrived in the city of Anaheim, then looked at their surroundings. "I kinda pictured San Francisco like this."
"...Just because there's tall buildings..."
They then came upon "West Anaheim Hotel", their destination. "Disneyland is over there, but we should rest before departing."
"Yeah! Let's have some fun!" Takuya declared as he dropped Junpei's limp body.
"Wait!"
"What?"
"We can't just go in and try to have a good time; Tomoki's X is in there, and we just traveled for over 5 miles. We'll be too tired to put up a decent fight, less a defense."
"Yeah... I guess you're... right..."
They entered the hotel and looked around. The floor was covered with green carpeting, and the bellhops wore red vests. Kouji stepped up to the registration counter and held up the papers that Izumi had caught.
"We're checking in." Kouji flatly said.
"Okay, you'll be staying for 3 days, correct?" the man said in a tedious voice.
"Yes."
"And you'll be staying in two seperate rooms that border each other with one bedroom per?"
"Yes."
"Okay, here you go Mr. Jahovastat."
"Thanks..."
Kouji walked away from the counter with the special cards the hotel used for discounts and parking. "'Mr. Jahovastat'?" Takuya mocked.
"I didn't chose it, they did."
"Sure..."
"Shut up."
They went up to their floor, 12, and went into 12A and 12B.
"^.^ Hehe. Kouji you can stay with Izumi." Takuya smirked. "I'll stay with fatso."
Izumi and Kouji blushed and Takuya left to drag Junpei's body into their room. He closed the door and allowed Izumi and Kouji to have their time alone.
"...Stupid Takuya..." Kouji joked. Izumi giggled and then thought about something.
"Kouji... this might sound kinda stupid," she sighed. "But this is the first time I've really shared a room with someone..."
"Yeah, me too."
They looked into each other's eyes. "I know we're close, but I don't really wanna take it THAT far..."
"I understand."
"So..."
"I'll sleep on a chair or something. You can have the bed."
"That's so sweet... but I'd feel so guilty..."
"It's okay."
They walked into the luxurious room. A single bed was in it, and a bathroom was close to the door. The green carpet was on the roof, and the TV was in front of the bed, next to a desk. A mini refrigerator was next to the TV.
"Wow... this place is... huge!" Izumi gasped. "Even bigger than that other hotel!"
"Yeah." Kouji replied in awe.
Soon it was night, so Kouji and Izumi went to the lobby's neighboring resturant.
"All customers of this hotel will recieve be billed on their check for our uses of facilities." the counter man said.
"That's good." Izumi replied in relief that she didn't have to pay anymore.
They got a table and Kouji pulled out a chair for Izumi.
"Thanks."
"No problem." Kouji walked around and got his own seat.
They spent hours in the resturant; eating and talking. Soon they were finished, and left. The night sky was crisp and filled with twinkling stars and a slight breeze. Izumi held out her arms and craned back her neck. She closed her eyes and let her hair be pushed around by the gust of wind.
"Mmmm..." Izumi sighed.
Kouji stood behind her, amazed on how radiant she looked. "You look so beautiful tonight." he whispered.
"Thank you..."
She felt herself falling into his arms and meeting his gaze. He bent his head down and softly kissed her, his bangs tickling her cheeks. Little did they know they were being watched from afar.
The scene changes to Izumi with her head on Kouji's chest.
"Huh?" she moaned as she woke up. She looked down and saw Kouji, still asleep. **Aww... he looks so peaceful...**
She got up and changed her clothes, unaware that Kouji was awake, and watching her. Izumi happened to turn around-
"O.O oh-my-god!"
Kouji whiped his head around and gaged, "I swear I didn't see anything!"
"Errgghh!" She began to toss random things at him. "Get out!!"
She ran to the bathroom and left Kouji to sit in the bed and wonder what she was going to do to him. He blinked a few times and got up from the bed. "Weird."
Just then the lights started flickering and it was pitch black, since they hadn't opened their windows yet. "Power outage?"
Kouji got up to open the blinds, but found snow coated on the window. "Hmm... this seems too familiar..."
Izumi had her clothes on, and walked over to Kouji. "What's going on?"
"I think we're under attack. Come on, we have to check on goggle-head and fatso."
"Tssh. This isn't time to make jokes."
"Who says it's a joke?" Kouji asked as they ran out the door.
The floor was covered with ice, as were the walls. "Eep!" Izumi squealed as she slipped down. "Erghh... stupid ice!"
Kouji busted through Takuya and Junpei's door, a dark version of Blizzarmon. "Blizzarmon?"
"Wrong Minamoto. I am DARK Blizzarmon, and I will destroy you all!" X laughed deviously. "And you're going straight to h---!"
"Tomoki! You must get control of your Beast Spirit!"
"Impudent fool! He cannot hear you! You should just give up and give me your spirit."
"Never!" Kouji then pulled out his D-Tector. "Beast Spirit Evolution!"
Izumi followed his lead and shouted, "Beast Spirit Evolution!"
They transformed to Garmmon and Shutumon and lunged at Dark Blizzarmon. "Rrrrrr!" Garmmon growled. "Lupine Laser!"
Dark Blizzarmon simply blocked the attack with his twin axes and hurled them towards Garmmon.
"Nice try." he jumped out of the way.
The axes spun around and went for Shutumon. "I'm not falling for this one again." Shutumon hissed as she jumped over the spiraling axes. "Ha!"
Twin tornadoes went through her hands and were deflected by Dark Blizzarmon. Just then, it seemed like he was about to reflect it back, but Garmmon attacked him from behind.
"Grr! That was NOT cool." X hissed. "Catch me if you can!"
Dark Blizzarmon shattered the window and disappeared into the darkness. "Dang!" Kouji hissed. He and Izumi returned to their normal states of being and looked around.
"Hey- where's Takuya and Junpei?" Izumi asked.
"I dunno. I bet X took them and held them captive."
"Most likely in his lair- Disneyland."
"Then we'll have to go find them."
"Well, at least I have enough money to pay for the both of us."
"You don't have to waste your money- we'll bust in."
"'Bust in'? Kouji, I didn't think you were serious when you first said that!"
"I am, but we'll have to be fast. Either we pay and hide ourselves in Human Spirit or bust in as A-Hybrid."
"Fine... at least I'll save a little cash."
The scene changes to Garmmon and Shutumon hiding in the bushes in Disney Square.
"Okay, we'll jump over the wall when no one can see us." Garmmon declared. "We'll have to use op speed."
"Or we could blow up the wall." Shutumon suggested.
"Good thinking. Let's do that." Garmmon opened his mouth and whispered, "Lupine Laser!"
The wall crumbled down and the two quickly ran in. They leapt up over the crowds of people and searched for where X might be hiding.
"This isn't working! We have to go back to human form!" Zephyrmon exclaimed.
"Right." Garmmon agreed. They went back to human form and blended with the crowd.
"Where could X be hiding?" Kouji asked.
"I dunno, but since we're here, let's go on a few rides!" Zoe exclaimed as she took his hand and led him to "The Matterhorn".
"This looks like a place Dark Blizzarmon would fit in PERFECTLY."
"You're right... let's go on!"
"It might be a trap. We can't let all these innocent people get injured."
"Then we'll have to get our own train."
"Yeah? Well how will we do that?"
"Leave that to me."
They got in line. When it was finally their turn they came upon a male teenager who seemed to be checking Izumi out.
"Excuse me." Izumi said in her sweetest voice. "Do you think a STRONG, HANDSOME, HOTY like you could let me and my little brother get our own train?"
Obviously, the guy was falling for her sweet-talk and smiled. "Of course honey. You sure you don't need a CHAPERONE to save you?" he winked.
"Awww, that's so SWEET, but-no."
Izumi and Kouji quickly boarded the train and took off. "'Little brother'?" Kouji asked flatly.
"Hey, I told you it would work."
"You gave him move compliments in one sentence than you have with me."
"Oh, what Kouji-kun? Jealous?"
"Be quiet."
"Sorry Kouji-kun... honestly..."
"We have to get ourselves ready for X." Kouji flatly replied without even excepting her apology.
"Right."
"Spirit Evolution!" they shouted together.
"Lobomon!" Kouji howled.
"Fairymon!" Izumi cried.
"Man this is cramped!"
"Ow! That's my arm!"
"Sorry."
Just then, they were back in the daylights and heading towards a tunnel. "Get ready. This is the part where the snow monster comes out."
"Right."
Lobomon used his LoboKendo to lit up a path. They then came upon two furious red eyes.
"Show yourself or face my wrath!"
"Uh... Kouji?" Izumi piped.
"Not now."
"But that's not Tomoki."
"What?"
As they passed by, the monster slowly became visible as the Matterhorn Yedi. "He's not here..."
"There's got to be more to this ride. Jump off the train."
"What?"
"I said, jump off the train. We have to explore the levels and caverns."
"What about the people who go on the ride?"
"They'll think we're part of it."
"Sure..."
They jumped off and landed on the fake terrain. They walked around in search of X, and Dark Blizzarmon. "Surely he is here. I sense it."
"I dunno... this place is giving me the creeps. Train!"
They froze and moved in slow, robotic paces. "Rrrrrrrrrr!"
"I didn't know this ride got updated!" the man said.
"Ahhhh!" a little girl screamed.
"Don't worry, it's just a robot. See it's movements?"
"Oh... hehe."
As soon as they left, Kouji and Izumi headed on. "Pssh. Robots. Do robots have this cool looking gear?" Izumi sarcastically remarked.
"Come on. No time to be egoistic." Kouji grumbled.
Soon they came upon a cave in the terrain with realistic ice around it. "Could this be it?"
"I think so. Don't let your defense down."
They crept into the ice cavern and looked around for Dark Blizzarmon. Suddenly, everything was completely dark. *Gasp*
"Hang on. It's alright."
"Well, I'm scared..."
"Of what? The dark?"
"..."
"Hahahaha!"
"*Snif* Don't be so mean!"
"I'm sorry. It's okay."
Just then, lights flickered on and temporarily blinded the duo. "Ahhh!" Izumi clutched onto Kouji's arm.
"..."
"Oh, sorry."
Their eyes adjusted and saw Takuya and Junpei tied to the wall, mouthes frozen together. "Grrr... X, this is unhuman!"
"Of course." X boomed from no where in particular. "I'm not a sublime human!"
"Show yourself!"
"Certainly."
Tomoki stepped out from around an ice block with an angry expression. "Tomoki!"
"He may be able to hear you, but he's not your allie."
"What?"
"...I hate you. All of you!..." Tomoki hissed.
"Grrrr... what have you done to him X?"
"Nothing at all! Why, he hates you on his own will!" X replied.
"Liar!"
"...No..." Tomoki grunted. "...You guys are the worst things in the world, and you will be stopped!..." He pulled out his D-Tector. "A-Hybrid Evolution!"
A black light swirled around Tomoki's body in a snow-like substance. When it died down, it revealed Dark Blizzarmon. "Dark Blizzarmon!"
"Tomoki! You have to ignor X's evil influence!" Izumi shouted.
"It's no use. We'll have to Hybrid." Kouji interrupted.
"I guess you're right."
"Mm-hmm."
They converted to Garmmon and Shutumon and prepared for an attack.
"You must die!" Dark Blizzarmon growled. "Frozen Arrowheads!"
"Thurmeane Gale!" Shutumon countered as she let two winds stop the axes.
"Hmph!" he grumbled as the axes retracted back to his hands.
"Tomoki! You can't do this! We aren't the enemy!"
"Quiet!"
"Rrhh...." Kouji growled. "Lupine Laser!"
Dark Blizzarmon was instantly hit and on the ground. "Grrr..."
"This cannot go on. You must fight the darkness Himi Tomoki."
At the sound of his full named, Tomoki suddenly got a grip of his soul. "No!" X gasped.
The darkness drained out of Dark Blizzarmon like water off a swimmer. A puddle of blackness evaporated into the air. "What's going on here?" Tomoki asked.
"X had taken over your soul. He has taken Takuya and Junpei hostage. We must fight him, once and for all." Kouji bravely declared. "X, your reign of terror is over!"
"Never. Let me show you my true form now!" X malisciously laughed. He then shifted into a dark figure, and became, "MegaDevimon!"
He was extremely tall, and extremely ugly. "What is that thing?" Izumi asked.
"I am MegaDevimon! I will destroy you and your pathetic friends! Muhahahahahaha!" he started to walk towards Takuya and Junpei, still tied to the wall.
"Ahhhhh!" Junpei and Takuya screamed.
"Uh!" Izumi grunted.
"No!" Kouji leapt forward and jumped onto MegaDevimon. "I will not allow you attack my friends!" He bit the devil and hissed, "Lupine Laser!"
The attack caused KendoGarurumon to fly off MegaDevimon, but the devil suffered a worst fate. "NOooooooooo!" he screamed. A flesh wound had opened up from the bite mark, and was infected by the laser.
"Uh!" Izumi flew up and rapidly kicked at the injury, causing it to spread.
"Ahhhhrrrrrr!"
"Frozen Arrowheads!" Tomoki shouted as he hurled his twin axes at the giant beast. The wound got deeper, and black blood oozed out.
All the while, Kouji had been freeing Takuya and Junpei from their bindings. "All right!" Takuya exclaimed as he became free. "A-Hybrid Evolution!"
Takuya became Burning Greymon, and Junpei became Metal Kabuterimon. "Pyro Pummel!" Takuya shouted.
Fists of fire came out of Takuya and burned open more flesh. "GAHHHHH!" MegaDevimon hollered.
"AutoThunder!" Metal Kabuterimon shouted. Thunderballs came out of his shot-gun head.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" All of MegaDevimon's flesh was revealed; not a scrap of skin left.
"Ewww..." Izumi shivered.
"Now to finish you!" Kouji shouted. "LUPINE LASER!"
"WILDFIRE TSUNAMI! Takuya cried.
"THURMANE GALE!" Izumi screamed.
"ELECTRON CANNON!" Junpei added.
"FROZEN ARROWHEADS!" Tomoki finished.
The mixed attacks caused MegaDevimon to fade away, until he became nothing. "Your soul," Kouji began.
"will be," Takuya added.
"banished from," Izumi piped in.
"the face of," Junpei continued.
"the world!" Tomoki declared.
"FRACTUAL CODE, DIGITIZE!" they shouted together.
MegaDevimon and X had been defeated. The children returned to their original forms and fell to their knees.
"We have won." Kouji declared with his eyes closed and his head hanging down, with a triumphant smile on his face, one knee up and one down. "X will never be heard from again."
"I guess this is it then." Takuya suddenly said, causing them to look up. "Now there's no threat... does this mean we are through with saving the world?"
"I don't know," Izumi began. "But I do know one thing; I'm glad we've finally got a real break."
They all smiled and agreed. Suddenly, everything went black, and the children were awestruck as their world suddenly became nothing. "What's going on?" Junpei asked.
"Welcome, Chosen Children." a calm, soothing, male voice said from all around them.
"Who are you?" Kouji hissed.
"I am not a threat. I am Genai."
"Genai?" Tomoki asked. "What do you want with us?"
"I am the most knowledgable man on the knowledge of Digimon. I have been in the Digital World long before you ever came. I have transported you here to thank you for saving the Digital World."
"Well, that's cool, but what now?" Takuya asked.
"I know you children have longed to go home, and now you will."
"You mean-"
"We can finally go home?" Tomoki gasped with cheer.
"Yes." Genai said. "All evil has been cleared from the face of the Digital World, but now-"
"Now?" Kouji asked.
"Now there is no point in having the Legendary Warriors protect us, so we are sending you back home. You will always keep the Spirits inside you, but you can only summon it when you are in life-related danger."
"So we have to use it to save our lives only, right?"
"Yes."
"So what are we doing here? Let's go home!" Takuya exclaimed.
"I guess you're right. Good bye children! We will summon you again when we need your help!"
Suddenly, Genai disappeared, but their world turned into a vortex. "Whoa!"
"What's going on?" Izumi gasped as she griped onto Kouji's arm.
"I think we're being transported back home!" Tomoki exclaimed.
"WHOA!" they all screamed.
Izumi opened her eyes to see people walking around her to their destination. "Huh?" Izumi mumbled. "Am I really home?"
"Izumi?" Kouji asked. "I think you cut off my arm's circulation."
"Kouji!" Izumi hugged her friend. "We're HOME!"
"I guess we are..." Kouji smiled and kissed her.
"...Kouji?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
They got up and walked home in the sunset.

"You do know I'm already taken, right?" Izumi asked.
"You are?!" Junpei then fainted.
"Uh oh." Takuya exclaimed. "Looks like you bursted his little heart, Izumi!"
"Oh shut up Takuya." Izumi groaned.
"He just fainted." Kouji confirmed. "He'll be up with a little cold water."
"No way! I'm not wasting any more water on the dump truck!"
"She has a point."
"@_@ Yeah, let's just leave him here." Takuya sarcastically sighed. "Come on, we have to do something about him."

"I'll sleep on a chair or something. You can have the bed."
"That's so sweet... but I'd feel so guilty..."
"It's okay."
They walked into the luxurious room. A single bed was in it, and a bathroom was close to the door. The green carpet was on the roof, and the TV was in front of the bed, next to a desk. A mini refrigerator was next to the TV.

She felt herself falling into his arms and meeting his gaze. He bent his head down and softly kissed her, his bangs tickling her cheeks. Little did they know they were being watched from afar.
The scene changes to Izumi with her head on Kouji's chest.
"Huh?" she moaned as she woke up. She looked down and saw Kouji, still asleep. **Aww... he looks so peaceful...**
She got up and changed her clothes, unaware that Kouji was awake, and watching her. Izumi happened to turn around-
"O.O oh-my-god!"
Kouji whiped his head around and gaged, "I swear I didn't see anything!"
"Errgghh!" She began to toss random things at him. "Get out!!"
She ran to the bathroom and left Kouji to sit in the bed and wonder what she was going to do to him. He blinked a few times and got up from the bed. "Weird."
Just then the lights started flickering and it was pitch black, since they hadn't opened their windows yet. "Power outage?"
Kouji got up to open the blinds, but found snow coated on the window. "Hmm... this seems too familiar..."
Izumi had her clothes on, and walked over to Kouji. "What's going on?"
"I think we're under attack. Come on, we have to check on goggle-head and fatso."
"Tssh. This isn't time to make jokes."
"Who says it's a joke?" Kouji asked as they ran out the door.
The floor was covered with ice, as were the walls. "Eep!" Izumi squealed as she slipped down. "Erghh... stupid ice!"
Kouji busted through Takuya and Junpei's door, a dark version of Blizzarmon. "Blizzarmon?"
"Wrong Minamoto. I am DARK Blizzarmon, and I will destroy you all!" X laughed deviously. "And you're going straight to h---!"
"Tomoki! You must get control of your Beast Spirit!"
"Impudent fool! He cannot hear you! You should just give up and give me your spirit."
"Never!" Kouji then pulled out his D-Tector. "Beast Spirit Evolution!"
Izumi followed his lead and shouted, "Beast Spirit Evolution!"
They transformed to Garmmon and Shutumon and lunged at Dark Blizzarmon. "Rrrrrr!" Garmmon growled. "Lupine Laser!"
Dark Blizzarmon simply blocked the attack with his twin axes and hurled them towards Garmmon.
"Nice try." he jumped out of the way.
The axes spun around and went for Shutumon. "I'm not falling for this one again." Shutumon hissed as she jumped over the spiraling axes. "Ha!"
Twin tornadoes went through her hands and were deflected by Dark Blizzarmon. Just then, it seemed like he was about to reflect it back, but Garmmon attacked him from behind.
"Grr! That was NOT cool." X hissed. "Catch me if you can!"
Dark Blizzarmon shattered the window and disappeared into the darkness. "Dang!" Kouji hissed. He and Izumi returned to their normal states of being and looked around.
"Hey- where's Takuya and Junpei?" Izumi asked.
"I dunno. I bet X took them and held them captive."
"Most likely in his lair- Disneyland."
"Then we'll have to go find them."
"Well, at least I have enough money to pay for the both of us."
"You don't have to waste your money- we'll bust in."
"'Bust in'? Kouji, I didn't think you were serious when you first said that!"
"I am, but we'll have to be fast. Either we pay and hide ourselves in Human Spirit or bust in as A-Hybrid."
"Fine... at least I'll save a little cash."
The scene changes to Garmmon and Shutumon hiding in the bushes in Disney Square.
"Okay, we'll jump over the wall when no one can see us." Garmmon declared. "We'll have to use op speed."
"Or we could blow up the wall." Shutumon suggested.
"Good thinking. Let's do that." Garmmon opened his mouth and whispered, "Lupine Laser!"
The wall crumbled down and the two quickly ran in. They leapt up over the crowds of people and searched for where X might be hiding.
"This isn't working! We have to go back to human form!" Zephyrmon exclaimed.
"Right." Garmmon agreed. They went back to human form and blended with the crowd.
"Where could X be hiding?" Kouji asked.
"I dunno, but since we're here, let's go on a few rides!" Zoe exclaimed as she took his hand and led him to "The Matterhorn".
"This looks like a place Dark Blizzarmon would fit in PERFECTLY."
"You're right... let's go on!"
"It might be a trap. We can't let all these innocent people get injured."
"Then we'll have to get our own train."
"Yeah? Well how will we do that?"
"Leave that to me."
They got in line. When it was finally their turn they came upon a male teenager who seemed to be checking Izumi out.
"Excuse me." Izumi said in her sweetest voice. "Do you think a STRONG, HANDSOME, HOTY like you could let me and my little brother get our own train?"
Obviously, the guy was falling for her sweet-talk and smiled. "Of course honey. You sure you don't need a CHAPERONE to save you?" he winked.
"Awww, that's so SWEET, but-no."
Izumi and Kouji quickly boarded the train and took off. "'Little brother'?" Kouji asked flatly.
"Hey, I told you it would work."
"You gave him move compliments in one sentence than you have with me."
"Oh, what Kouji-kun? Jealous?"
"Be quiet."
"Sorry Kouji-kun... honestly..."
"We have to get ourselves ready for X." Kouji flatly replied without even excepting her apology.
"Right."
"Spirit Evolution!" they shouted together.
"Lobomon!" Kouji howled.
"Fairymon!" Izumi cried.
"Man this is cramped!"
"Ow! That's my arm!"
"Sorry."
Just then, they were back in the daylights and heading towards a tunnel. "Get ready. This is the part where the snow monster comes out."
"Right."
Lobomon used his LoboKendo to lit up a path. They then came upon two furious red eyes.
"Show yourself or face my wrath!"
"Uh... Kouji?" Izumi piped.
"Not now."
"But that's not Tomoki."
"What?"
As they passed by, the monster slowly became visible as the Matterhorn Yedi. "He's not here..."
"There's got to be more to this ride. Jump off the train."
"What?"
"I said, jump off the train. We have to explore the levels and caverns."
"What about the people who go on the ride?"
"They'll think we're part of it."
"Sure..."
They jumped off and landed on the fake terrain. They walked around in search of X, and Dark Blizzarmon. "Surely he is here. I sense it."
"I dunno... this place is giving me the creeps. Train!"
They froze and moved in slow, robotic paces. "Rrrrrrrrrr!"
"I didn't know this ride got updated!" the man said.
"Ahhhh!" a little girl screamed.
"Don't worry, it's just a robot. See it's movements?"
"Oh... hehe."
As soon as they left, Kouji and Izumi headed on. "Pssh. Robots. Do robots have this cool looking gear?" Izumi sarcastically remarked.
"Come on. No time to be egoistic." Kouji grumbled.
Soon they came upon a cave in the terrain with realistic ice around it. "Could this be it?"
"I think so. Don't let your defense down."
They crept into the ice cavern and looked around for Dark Blizzarmon. Suddenly, everything was completely dark. *Gasp*
"Hang on. It's alright."
"Well, I'm scared..."
"Of what? The dark?"
"..."
"Hahahaha!"
"*Snif* Don't be so mean!"
"I'm sorry. It's okay."
Just then, lights flickered on and temporarily blinded the duo. "Ahhh!" Izumi clutched onto Kouji's arm.
"..."
"Oh, sorry."
Their eyes adjusted and saw Takuya and Junpei tied to the wall, mouthes frozen together. "Grrr... X, this is unhuman!"
"Of course." X boomed from no where in particular. "I'm not a sublime human!"
"Show yourself!"
"Certainly."
Tomoki stepped out from around an ice block with an angry expression. "Tomoki!"
"He may be able to hear you, but he's not your allie."
"What?"
"...I hate you. All of you!..." Tomoki hissed.
"Grrrr... what have you done to him X?"
"Nothing at all! Why, he hates you on his own will!" X replied.
"Liar!"
"...No..." Tomoki grunted. "...You guys are the worst things in the world, and you will be stopped!..." He pulled out his D-Tector. "A-Hybrid Evolution!"
A black light swirled around Tomoki's body in a snow-like substance. When it died down, it revealed Dark Blizzarmon. "Dark Blizzarmon!"
"Tomoki! You have to ignor X's evil influence!" Izumi shouted.
"It's no use. We'll have to Hybrid." Kouji interrupted.
"I guess you're right."
"Mm-hmm."
They converted to Garmmon and Shutumon and prepared for an attack.
"You must die!" Dark Blizzarmon growled. "Frozen Arrowheads!"
"Thurmeane Gale!" Shutumon countered as she let two winds stop the axes.
"Hmph!" he grumbled as the axes retracted back to his hands.
"Tomoki! You can't do this! We aren't the enemy!"
"Quiet!"
"Rrhh...." Kouji growled. "Lupine Laser!"
Dark Blizzarmon was instantly hit and on the ground. "Grrr..."
"This cannot go on. You must fight the darkness Himi Tomoki."
At the sound of his full named, Tomoki suddenly got a grip of his soul. "No!" X gasped.
The darkness drained out of Dark Blizzarmon like water off a swimmer. A puddle of blackness evaporated into the air. "What's going on here?" Tomoki asked.
"X had taken over your soul. He has taken Takuya and Junpei hostage. We must fight him, once and for all." Kouji bravely declared. "X, your reign of terror is over!"
"Never. Let me show you my true form now!" X malisciously laughed. He then shifted into a dark figure, and became, "MegaDevimon!"
He was extremely tall, and extremely ugly. "What is that thing?" Izumi asked.
"I am MegaDevimon! I will destroy you and your pathetic friends! Muhahahahahaha!" he started to walk towards Takuya and Junpei, still tied to the wall.
"Ahhhhh!" Junpei and Takuya screamed.
"Uh!" Izumi grunted.
"No!" Kouji leapt forward and jumped onto MegaDevimon. "I will not allow you attack my friends!" He bit the devil and hissed, "Lupine Laser!"
The attack caused KendoGarurumon to fly off MegaDevimon, but the devil suffered a worst fate. "NOooooooooo!" he screamed. A flesh wound had opened up from the bite mark, and was infected by the laser.
"Uh!" Izumi flew up and rapidly kicked at the injury, causing it to spread.
"Ahhhhrrrrrr!"
"Frozen Arrowheads!" Tomoki shouted as he hurled his twin axes at the giant beast. The wound got deeper, and black blood oozed out.
All the while, Kouji had been freeing Takuya and Junpei from their bindings. "All right!" Takuya exclaimed as he became free. "A-Hybrid Evolution!"
Takuya became Burning Greymon, and Junpei became Metal Kabuterimon. "Pyro Pummel!" Takuya shouted.
Fists of fire came out of Takuya and burned open more flesh. "GAHHHHH!" MegaDevimon hollered.
"AutoThunder!" Metal Kabuterimon shouted. Thunderballs came out of his shot-gun head.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" All of MegaDevimon's flesh was revealed; not a scrap of skin left.
"Ewww..." Izumi shivered.
"Now to finish you!" Kouji shouted. "LUPINE LASER!"
"WILDFIRE TSUNAMI! Takuya cried.
"THURMANE GALE!" Izumi screamed.
"ELECTRON CANNON!" Junpei added.
"FROZEN ARROWHEADS!" Tomoki finished.
The mixed attacks caused MegaDevimon to fade away, until he became nothing. "Your soul," Kouji began.
"will be," Takuya added.
"banished from," Izumi piped in.
"the face of," Junpei continued.
"the world!" Tomoki declared.
"FRACTUAL CODE, DIGITIZE!" they shouted together.
MegaDevimon and X had been defeated. The children returned to their original forms and fell to their knees.
"We have won." Kouji declared with his eyes closed and his head hanging down, with a triumphant smile on his face, one knee up and one down. "X will never be heard from again."
"I guess this is it then." Takuya suddenly said, causing them to look up. "Now there's no threat... does this mean we are through with saving the world?"
"I don't know," Izumi began. "But I do know one thing; I'm glad we've finally got a real break."
They all smiled and agreed. Suddenly, everything went black, and the children were awestruck as their world suddenly became nothing. "What's going on?" Junpei asked.
"Welcome, Chosen Children." a calm, soothing, male voice said from all around them.
"Who are you?" Kouji hissed.
"I am not a threat. I am Genai."
"Genai?" Tomoki asked. "What do you want with us?"
"I am the most knowledgable man on the knowledge of Digimon. I have been in the Digital World long before you ever came. I have transported you here to thank you for saving the Digital World."
"Well, that's cool, but what now?" Takuya asked.
"I know you children have longed to go home, and now you will."
"You mean-"
"We can finally go home?" Tomoki gasped with cheer.
"Yes." Genai said. "All evil has been cleared from the face of the Digital World, but now-"
"Now?" Kouji asked.
"Now there is no point in having the Legendary Warriors protect us, so we are sending you back home. You will always keep the Spirits inside you, but you can only summon it when you are in life-related danger."
"So we have to use it to save our lives only, right?"
"Yes."
"So what are we doing here? Let's go home!" Takuya exclaimed.
"I guess you're right. Good bye children! We will summon you again when we need your help!"
Suddenly, Genai disappeared, but their world turned into a vortex. "Whoa!"
"What's going on?" Izumi gasped as she griped onto Kouji's arm.
"I think we're being transported back home!" Tomoki exclaimed.
"WHOA!" they all screamed.
Izumi opened her eyes to see people walking around her to their destination. "Huh?" Izumi mumbled. "Am I really home?"
"Izumi?" Kouji asked. "I think you cut off my arm's circulation."
"Kouji!" Izumi hugged her friend. "We're HOME!"
"I guess we are..." Kouji smiled and kissed her.
"...Kouji?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
They got up and walked home in the sunset.
