The DigiSword
Chapter 19:
Rebirth: The Final Battle
The twelve chosen children groggily awoke in the midst of shadow. The air was thick and the ground they were lying on wasn't visible. "What happened?" asked Davis. "I feel like I've been hit by a truck."
"I feel like I was hit by two," muttered Tai. "Where are we?" TK was the next to arise.
"So...familiar," he said as he looked around. "I feel like I've been here before."
"As you should, child of Hope," a voice boomed from behind the Digidestined. "I remember what all of you have done to me those six years ago!"
"That voice," gasped Ken. "I-I've heard it before! As the Emperor, I have heard that voice in my head when we were in that whirlpool!" (A/N: I know that most people say that it was Devimon who actually spoke to Ken in the Dark Ocean, but hey, it was never made clear now was it?)
"Yes, Ken Ichijouji, I have spoken to you from the void of the Dark Ocean." The original chosen all turned to face an evil they never thought they would have to see again.
"APOCALYMON!" they cried.
"How are you still alive?" demanded Kari. This caused the mutant digimon to snicker.
"My dear Kari, it is quite simple, really," he chuckled. "I have been alive. For quite some time now."
"What?" asked TK. "How?"
"That battle when you sealed me so that my self-destruction would only harm myself is one I will never forget," sneered Apocalymon. "But, unknown to you people, my essence survived that explosion. It was preserved in the form of a mighty force of nature: the Ocean." At this statement, Ken and Kari cringed in fear.
"The Ocean..." whispered Ken.
"Yes, Ken Ichijouji, the essence you felt when you were transported to the Dark Ocean was indeed I. Unfortunately, that digital warrior, Gennai, had gotten with those four Guardians of the Digital World to forge a mighty sword that overthrew the original keeper of my power, and separated the darkness into another dimension that is the Dark Ocean."
"The DigiSword!" gasped TK. "The Scubamon told us that it was Gennai who used the DigiSword to defeat the original master of the Dark Ocean, Darkmarinedramon!"
"Of course, it all makes sense now," said Kari.
"I would like to thank the two of you," snickered Apocalymon. "Those two months since you pulled out the DigiSword allowed me time to recuperate and be reborn. Also, by weakening the defenses of the Ocean, Daemon was able to escape into the Real World and manipulate the Dark Spore so that he could create the Neo-Kaiser! In other words, it was your fault that I am alive again!"
TK and Kari fell to ground, realization hitting them like a ton of bricks. "It was all...our fault," whispered Kari, tears coming out of her eyes. "Our fault..."
"Anyway, afterwards, I could control the Neo-Kaiser, and forced him into a project of creating a copy of the Crest of Light, using the data from powerful dark Digimon of the past."
"You mean to say that all of the power of every dark digimon we've ever fought is contained within that crest?" asked Izzy. "Incredible!"
"We've beaten you once before, Apocalymon, and we can do it again," shouted Tai.
"Oh please," laughed Apocalymon. "Do you even remember what happened last time you fought me? I had your Digimon reverse digivolve and I destroyed your pathetic crests!"
"And we still beat you," Sora finished. Apocalymon brought forth his claws.
"Bring it on," he laughed. The twelve digimon charged forward to battle with the ultimate darkness, Apocalymon.
"I'll use Machinedramon's attack! Giga Cannon!" The shots hit all of the digimon head on, knocking them backward. "And how about Puppetmon's Puppet Pummel!" Once again, all of the digimon were hit.
"Inconceivable!" gasped Izzy.
"No kidding," said Joe. "He's even stronger than he was before!"
"Terra Force!" yelled WarGreymon.
Apocalymon smirked, "DARKNESS CLONE!" he shouted as WarGreymon spilit into two, one good, one evil.
"Impossible!" cried Yolei.
"He's got Neo-Kaiser's power as well," said Cody. "This guy isn't going to be easy to beat." The Dark WarGreymon fired a Terra Force to counter WarGreymon's.
"Not this again," muttered Tai. "As if dealing with the first one wasn't enough!"
"There has to be a way to win," Matt told him. "But how?"
"Metal Wolf Claw!"
"Positron Laser!"
"DARKNESS CLONE!" Again, two clones appeared to counter the attack.
"Do you not understand, Digidestined? I am invincible!"
"This is all my fault," cried Kari. TK put his arm around her.
"No, it was mine," he whispered. "I-I should have put the sword back. I was too confident in my own skills. Forgive me."
"Guys, snap out of it," Mimi told them. "He's not unbeatable. Sure, he's got the abilities of every digimon we've ever fought, and he's twice as strong as he was before, and he can clone our digimon, but...oh never mind! Just stop complaining! We will win!"
"She's right, you two," a voice came from behind them.
"Wizardmon!" gasped Kari.
"Wizardmon?" asked everyone. "Oh my god! Wizardmon!"
"Hi," he smiled. "Both of you have to snap out of this. You have faced tough enemies before now. What makes this one so different?"
"If it proved that difficult to destroy those enemies," sighed Joe, "what chance do we stand against the strength of all of them combined?"
"Joe!" shouted Davis. "How could you doubt our chances. We have to win! If not, then both worlds are in danger! Don't you get it? If we don't keep our hopes up, we'll never win!"
"Wow, Davis is sure acting more mature," commented Tai. "I didn't even know he knew the word 'doubt'."
'Davis is right,' thought TK. 'I represent Hope, and without it, we can't possibly win. Moping over this being my fault isn't getting anywhere!'
"Um, guys?" asked Sora. "I'm glad you're all discussing how to win, but look over there." Everyone looked toward the battle and gasped. Apocalymon was surrounded by thousands of clones of their own digimon.
"Give up, digidestined! My massive army will crush you all!"
"There's no way we can beat all of them!" shouted Ken.
"He's right, we could barely beat one of each clone!" cried Yolei. Suddenly, a weak voice piped up from behind them.
"Digidestined, listen..." it cackled. TK and Kari turned to find the Warrior of Destiny crawling behind them.
"Destiny!" they cried, running over to him.
"Listen," he told them. "My time is short, so you must heed my warning. It may seem hopeless, but if you attack the source, all problems will vanish."
"Destiny, conserve your strength," Izzy advised.
"No, my strength is the last gift for you. Use the DigiSword. Seal away Apocalymon's evil as it had been so many years before." Destiny slouched forward, unable to support himself. "My time is up...I will transfer the last of my strength into the sword. Use it...well...." With that, the once mighty Samurai disintegrated into millions of data particles. Tears spilled from TK and Kari's eyes.
"Good-bye, Destiny," they choked out.
"That's enough!" shouted Wizardmon. "He may have made thousands of copies of you guys, but as the Warrior of Destiny had told us, once we destroy the source, the rest will vanish."
"The source is Apocalymon," said Ken. "Of course! We'll need to aim our most powerful attacks at Apocalymon! It won't matter if he clones it, it'll just be destroyed along with him!"
"Well then," said Tai. "We'll need the most powerful digimon combo we have. Ken, Davis, Matt, you guys ready?"
"Yeah!"
"Wargreymon!"
"Metal Garurumon!"
"DNA Digivolve to...Omnimon!"
"Imperialdramon!"
"Omnimon!"
"DNA Digivolve to...Imperialdramon Paladin Mode!" (A/N: If you've seen Diablomon strikes back, you'll know who this is. Although, I don't know what his attack name in English would be, so I'll be making one up.)
"It's been a while since we've seen him," said Yolei.
"HOLY BLADE!" shouted Imperialdramon, taking the large sword and rushing to attack Apocalymon.
Apocalymon smirked. "Defend me, my clones! GO!" A Wargreymon and a Metal Garurumon flew and rammed into Imperialdramon.
"They're strong," muttered the DNA Digimon. "But not strong enough. HOLY BLADE!" The mighty sword sliced through the two mega digimon. More clones immediately surrounded the mega.
"He can't get through if they're surronding him like that," Izzy told the group. "We need some other way to finish off Apocalymon!"
TK looked to where Destiny had fallen. He bent over to pick up the one item leftover from the mighty warrior, the DigiSword.
"Seal away Apocalymon's evil," he whispered, repeating what the samurai had told them.
"As it had been so many years ago," Kari finished for him. "What now, TK?"
"We use the sword," he told her. "Kari, get Angewomon to fire her Celestial Arrow through the Gate of Destiny, like we did against Daemon. Gennai told me how to transfer the energy within the sword, but I'll need your help for that. All of the clones are gathering around Imperialdramon, so the pathway will be clear."
Apocalymon heard this. "What?! No! Ankylomon, Aquilamon! Attack the Children of Hope and Light!"
"Oh shit," muttered Joe. "Zudomon! Take care of them!"
"You too, MegaKabuterimon!" commanded Izzy. "Everyone! Make a path clear for TK and Kari!" Soon, many of the clones were flying towards the two children. And One by one, they were being blocked by the Digidestined Digimon.
"Gate of Destiny!" cried MagnaAngemon, forming the holy circle with Excalibur.
"It's ready, Angewomon! Fire!" he yelled.
"I'm one step ahead of you, MagnaAngemon! CELESTIAL ARROW!" The female angel fired the largest arrow of light she had ever shot. It contained so much energy that she dedigivolved to Salamon immediately after firing. The arrow passed through the Gate, collecting its holy energies.
Kari grabbed onto the hilt of the DigiSword, right next to where TK was holding it. "Now close you eyes, and think about your dreams. Believe that they will come true, and the light will shine." Kari nodded and did as she was told.TK closed his eyes as well. The katana blade began to glow white, and a small spark appeared at the end. TK began to sweat.
"It's not enough," he muttered. "We need more dreams."
Ken walked over and put his hand on TK's. "You're going to get more," he told his friend.
Davis was the next to join. "We're not going to lose."
Cody and Yolei joined in as well. Soon, all 12 of the Digidestined had their hands on the mighty blade. It began to glow even brighter.
Little did they know that every digidestined child on earth was watching, and pitching their dreams in as well.
"It's working," whispered Kari. TK nodded as a beam of white light shot out from the end of the sword, flying toward the Gate of Destiny.
The arrow of light collected its hope and the dreams of every child on Earth, giving it more strength than ever. It finnaly passed through the Gate of Destiny and fired toward the evil incarnation of Darkness.
Unfortunately, one digimon broke free of the fight going on between the digidestined digimon and tried to block the light.
"No! That would make all of this a waste!" cried Mimi. What she didn't realize was it was destroyed even before the light touched it. The arrow made its way past the fighting and headed straight for the target.
Apocalymon gasped. "No! No! I won't be sealed away! Not again! NO!!!!!" The arrow drove straight through where his heart would have been. The mighty mutant digimon drew his head back and coughed out blood.
"It...can't end...this WAY!" He screamed in agony as he was slowly deleted. "I cannot be destroyed Digidestined. I am Darkness, and Light will always cast a shadow. I will return one day!" With that, the mighty Apocalymon was finished. The dark void surrounding the digidestined immediately disappeared, revealing Highton View Terrace, where the fight had begun.
"We...won?" asked Cody.
"We did! We won!" cheered Mimi. Everyone else cheered as well, except Joe, who was was over by the bushes...well, you know Joe.
"We can't competely win," Ken reminded them. "The darkness will always return. As Apocalymon said, Light will always cast a shadow."
"Ah, don't be so melodramatic," laughed Davis. "We just saved two worlds! We're heroes!"
"I didn't even know you knew the word 'melodramatic', Davis. Hey TK, what happened to the DigiSword?" asked Tai.
"It disintegrated along with Apocalymon," TK told him. "My guess is that it's heading to the Dark Ocean, where it will once again seal away Apocalymon's evil. I think our crests are gone now as well." Sure enough, the crests had disappeared.
"I guess we really won this time," smiled Kari. TK smiled and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
"Yes we did," he whispered.
"Get a room, you two," Patamon laughed as the digimon returned to their owners.
"Guys! We did it!" laughed Sora, hugging Biyomon.
"And not a moment too soon," said Gabumon. "I'm starved."
Just then, a crowd of people gathered around the Digidestined and clapped.
"You go! Yeah! No one beats the good guys!"
"Nice job, guys!"
Random compliments flew out from the crowds. Izzy smiled. "It's good to be known."
The parents of the Chosen Children rushed to greet the heroes. The most emotional of them was Mrs. Takaishi, who was crying a river of tears knowing her son was alive and well.
Meanwhile, in a certain room within the Undersea palace of the Dark Ocean, nine crests surrounded a single Japanese sword, with the Crests of Hope and Light engraved upon its blade, which would seal away the Darkness for as long as it remains hidden...
