Wow, here is the final chapter before the epilogue. I know some people will
probably hate me for ending the series like this, but hey I'm the writer... also
I have to point out that with this series done I'll be able to work on other
stories more and maybe start even more series for you all.
Digital Destinies

Chapter Twenty-Four
Last Time on Digital Destinies:
"The last choice, I choose that one," he told her, she looked at him.
"Are you sure about this choice, you know that you will never be able to
tell your parents that you are Sam... to them you are dead," she pointed out, he
nodded... he could live with that.
"Yes, I'm sure," he told her, she smiled.
"Good luck then," she said smiling, the next thing he knew was that he
was pushed back by a strange wind. Light enveloped him followed by a falling
motion, then darkness enveloped him.
'Good luck Sam' the women thought.

In the real world many hours had passed, in truth it was the next day
and the sun was going down.
Ken sighed from where he sat, feeling depressed at loosing his brother
once again he had retreated to a park. He was sitting on a swing letting the
wind move him, in truth it was the same swing Nekomon had used once before.
The blue haired boy's mind was a confused whirl, he had been so happy to
have his brother back... then this happened.
Tears came to his dark blue eyes; slowly they slipped down his slim
face. He didn't know why he felt so bad, his brother Sam had died before... but
this time he had died for real.
'Why' he thought, why did Sam have to die again he wanted to know... why
was the fates tantalizing him with happiness then tearing it away painfully.
On his lap Wormmon looked at his human partner sadly, he knew what was
going through the keeper of kindness mind.
"Why," Ken finally sobbed out, Wormmon looked at the blue haired boy
sadly but said nothing.
"Why, why did Sam have to die again on me," he sobbed, he hadn't told
the other destined about who Nekomon was... even speaking the feline digimons
name was opening a wound on his heart.
It was at that moment, that the two of them spotted a shooting star
cross the on coming night sky.
"It's beautiful," Ken whispered, a small smile came to the boys lips
before fading.
"Ken?" Wormmon suddenly said, Ken blinked and looked at his partner
curious at the worried tone in the insect digimon voice.
"Yeah?" he asked; he hoped it wasn't an evil digimon... he didn't feel
like fighting one at the moment.
"Do shooting stars ever actually fall out of the sky?" Wormmon asked,
Ken blinked... what a silly question to ask.
"No, why?" he asked, the insect like creature gave a very nervous laugh.
"Because the shooting star we were looking at, well... its heading right
at us," the digimon said, at those words a cold feeling went through the boy's
body.
Quickly he looked up, a gasp slipped out of his mouth.
"Kuso!" he screamed, with that he leapt from the swing and slammed into
the ground a few feet away.
But no bright light, heat or even an explosion came.
Curious but still cautious he got up slowly, turning he came upon a
curious sight.
Glowing ball of golden light floated above him, from it a-warmth came...
and for some reason it felt very familiar.
"What in the world," he said, at the moment he wished Izzy were there...
he could use the older boy's theories at the moment.
Suddenly the light exploded, not knowing why Ken put out his arms. While
blinded from the light. He felt something landing in his arms, whatever it was
it wasn't very heavy and had fur.
"Bright," he said, he was glad none of his teammates were there... saying
that had sounded so stupid.
Of course it had been bright, he could smacked himself.
Finally his sight began to clear, at first it was vague shapes and maybe
a color... soon everything returned to normal.
And the world seemed to freeze to the boy known as Ken.
In his arms was an ebony furred digital feline, one he knew so well... one
he knew should be dead.
"Nekomon," he whispered, he felt shocked and fell on his butt... almost
landing on wormmon who had somehow gotten to the ground during the whole
glowing light thing.
"Well this is new," Wormmon said in a confused voice.
Suddenly the digimon feline in his arms shifted, Ken bit his bottom lip
nervously hoping Nekomon was okay.
Suddenly tired sapphire eyes opened, the black cat smiled.
"Yo bro, I should get a award for dying so many times," Nekomon said and
managed to smirk, then before Ken could react or even ask any questions the
feline passed out.
"Now that's dramatic," Wormmon said; Ken also had a feeling that his
partner had hung out too much with Davis's partner.

It was hours later that Nekomon finally woke up, while he was
unconscious Kan stayed at the feline digimons side only leaving long enough to
use the washroom.
Finally when Ken was about to fall asleep (it was really late at night),
Nekomon woke up.
The only thing that told Ken this was the fact that he found himself
looking into familiar blue eyes, sadly he fell asleep as soon as the digimon
woke up... so he didn't get a chance to ask his questions.
***
"Do you think he slept long enough," a voice said, another voice
giggled... he recognized the giggle belonged to wormmon.
"Who knows, he exhausted himself yesterday waiting for you to wake up,"
Wormmon said, it was at that moment the barely awake Ken sneezed.
Opening his eyes he found the reason, a furry black tail was just barely
touching his nose.
"Looks like your awake," the first voice said with amusement, Ken
blinked and gasped as he saw the owner of the voice... Nekomon.
"Nekomon," he cried happily, he then enveloped the feline in a huge hug
(mental image of nekomon almost passing out due to loss of air).
"Hi Ken," Nekomon said once he had enough air; he squeezed out of the
blue haired destined arms.
"I thought you died," Ken whispered, tears came to his eyes. He was so
glad Nekomon was alive, that meant he hadn't lost Sam... his brother again.
"I did die," Nekomon whispered his ears dropping, Ken frowned, Nekomon
looked alive to him.
"But your alive right in front of me, your breathing and warm to the
touch," Ken said confused, Nekomon sighed and looked out the rooms window.
"I got a chance to come back to life Ken, but..." the feline said trailing
off, Ken frowned having a bad feeling.
"But what?" he asked, Nekomon sighed.
"I'm fully a digimon now, I have a human mode but I'll never be human
truly again. And, well... I need a partner so I can stay in the human world
without having to return to the digital world after a few weeks," Nekomon
said, Ken gasped and paled.
'How could this of happened, his brother had lost his humanity... and now
he needed a huamn partner' Ken thought in shock, Nekomon must of seen these
thoughts in his eyes.
"Ken I chose this, this is the only way I would get a chance to see you
again... and remember you," nekomon said, tears streaming down his face Ken
hugged the feline.
"I just wish..." he whispered trailing off, nekomon looked at his sadly.
"Wished what?" the feline asked softly.
"That I could undo all this, then you would still be human," he cried,
Nekomon sighed.
"I wish that too but it won't happen, but could you do a favor for me"
Nekomon finally said, ken blinked.
"Sure, what?" he asked, the cat gave him a very nervous laugh.
"Could I be your second partner, that way I could always be near you?"
the rookie feline digimon asked; ken could only blink in surprise.
Then to Nekomon's and Wormmons surprise he began laughing, he hugged
Nekomon tightly to his chest a smile on his face.
"Of course, of course... yes, yes nekomon," Ken cried, of all things it
looked like Sam would be with him for the rest of his life... just in another
form.
Suddenly his D-3 glowed, looking at its screen he smiled.

'Thank you Sam, you don't know how much you mean to me' he thought
happily, he gazed at the feline digimon who was his brother and could only
thank in his heart whoever had given Sam a chance to come home.

Almost done people; juts a short Epilogue to go and the whole series is over.
There will be no sequel, this series was long enough and I was running out of
