Dimitri Returns to the Future! The Artificials' End
Azulongmon's Realm
The Digi-Destined were all gathered over at the realm of Azulongmon, as they had just listened to TK and his final farewell message. But knowing him, they knew that he would eventually return since it will be the Gatekeeper's decision.
Kari looks up into the sky and smiles to herself. She deeply understands that she will see TK again.
"TK, I just hope you keep your promise. I'll be waiting for you."
Azulongmon hovers over his shrine; still waiting for the Digi-Destined to turn their attention back over to him and to see whether or not they need to use the power of the digital cores once again.
"Digi-Destined. Are there any more requests that are willing to be fulfilled through the digital cores? If not, then I will deactivate them and move on. Speak now."
"Hmmm, what should we do?" pondered Izzy, "Its rather hard to decide what to request. We've done pretty much of everything, even reviving Dimitri."
"Hold on! I got one! Azulongmon, I would like to make a request," said Omega X, "Why don't we use the power of the digital cores to restore all the lives that were killed off by Virus in the Digital World. That shouldn't be too hard, right?"
"No. That's perfectly fine. I could have thought of that myself."
With that said, Azulongmon rises his head and the four digital cores lifted into the air. Then they encircled around the giant guardian. The cores powered up and began to glow simultaneously. They then released powerful beams of light and started to spread across the entire Digital World. The light spread over landscapes that were destroyed and villages that were wiped out. Digimon slowly started to become reformatted. Others were sent right back to Primary Village, which they would be reborn as Digi-eggs.
The Digi-Destined watched in awe as the entire Digital World was being returned back to its once beautiful luster, including the restoration of the many lost lives of the innocent digimon.
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, a body was slowly being reformatted and when it came into being, Jax was sprawled onto the ground. He slowly rises up and looks around his surroundings. He gasps and touches all over himself.
"I'm alive? But how? I'm in the Digital World? The Digital Cores… They must have done it… The Digi-Destined… But where's Virus? I don't feel his ki level anymore… They must have beaten him… Well I'll be damned."
Just then, he realized that he was alone without the company of Black War Greymon and Sonja.
"Hey, Sonja? Black War Greymon? Where did you guys go? Hello? Aw, this sucks. Oh well. There's no use crying over this. Time to start a new life."
****************************************************************************************
Azulongmon finished up using the power of the digital cores and lowers his head down, as if letting the Digi-Destined know that his job was completed.
"The Digital World should be restored to the way it was before Virus' assault. The lost digimon lives shall be restored."
"Hey! Do you know if Black War Greymon and Jax will be restored as well?" asked Kari.
"I do not have any clue. For they were just merely artificials created in the real world. I have no possible answer to that question. I am sorry."
"Oh, just wondering."
"Wait! I got another suggestion!" exclaimed Imperialdramon, "Can you turn Sonja and Jax into living humans? After all, they were humans before, but Datamon remodeled them for his own selfish deeds."
"Whoa… Davis, are you really serious about that?" asked Shakkoumon.
"Yes! I want Sonja to live the rest of her life in peace! Besides, she's not such a bad person! She can be a Digi-Destined like us if given the chance! Please, can you do that Azulongmon?"
"Unfortunately, that is beyond my power, Davis. I am sorry."
Imperialdramon lowers his head in shame and had hoped to give Sonja a chance to live the rest of her life as a normal human and not have to endure being an artificial puppet. Sonja was hiding behind a column alongside the realm and was shocked at what he had just requested.
"Damn, it didn't work."
"But why did you want Jax to return to the living as a human being? I see that being very pointless!" snapped Dimitri.
"No. Azulongmon had restored the lives of every digital being who were victims of Virus. That means it's possible that both Jax and Black War Greymon were restored as well. But as for the people of earth who were killed, it's a much different story," said Izzy, "We can't change that. The digicores have not yet been upgraded to save lives outside the Digital World."
"Well how about this request then, Azulongmon," Imperialdramon said, "Can you at least take the explosives out from their bodies. I mean you do have magical powers that have that ability, right?"
"Yes and that request will be fulfilled. Just hold your horses."
"I don't even own any horses."
"It's just a form of speech, Davis," replied Kari.
"Aw, cool! I just hope it works!"
With that said, Azulongmon lowered his head and his digital cores were glowing once again. This time, the beams shoots out two lights, one of which hits Sonja as she slowly feels her body changing. Now the explosive device was gone from her chest. Sonja touches her hand, which once revealed a deactivation device, but now it wasn't there anymore. Her explosive device was now gone. A look of shock comes across her face.
Azulongmon then raises his head and the digital cores quickly reattached to his body.
"So anymore requests? Now, it is time for us to move on, Digi-Destined. We thank you for saving the two worlds from devastation. If it weren't for you, Virus would have plunged the two worlds into total annihilation."
"Aw! It was nothing!" exclaimed Omega X.
"We shall now move. Goodbye Digi-Destined and farewell, until we meet again. I shall inform you all when TK and Patamon have completed their task. Keep in touch."
With that said, Azulongmon disappears into his shrine, where he would lie dormant and rest with the threats over and done with. Gennai walks over to the Digi-Destined and congratulates each and every one of them.
Just then, Imperialdramon, Omega X and the other fusion warriors quickly de-evolved back into each of their separate entities. Omega X turns back into Tai and Agumon. Imperialdramon Fighter Mode de-evolving back to Davis and Veemon, and so forth with the others.
"Yay! I'm back to being me!" exclaimed Yolei.
"That was pretty cool being involved in the action," Ken said.
"I'll say! I hope we can do that again, sometime," Yolei replied.
"Ugh. She's crazier than a monkey doing cartwheels," said Davis.
"Or maybe a wombat doing flips," remarked Veemon.
They all laughed together in unison and there was now a sudden happiness returning back. The Digi-Destined were now laughing as hard as they could to get their minds off of the battle that they had just endured. Sonja takes notice of this and realizes that these children were once considered her 'enemy', were not actually bad people than she first thought.
"Hey, Davis. Why did you ask for something like that?" asked Dimitri.
"Well, because I felt it was sad to have a bomb planted inside of her body. I wanted to give her a chance to live with her own free will," Davis said.
"C'mon. Davis, just say it already. You like her do you," snickered Veemon.
"Hey! I didn't mean it that way!"
"Aw. You're such a nice person," Kari said.
Sonja remains behind the column and then lowers her head.
"By the way, why did you ask for the bomb to be removed from Jax as well?" asked Ken.
Davis smiles nervously and looks down at his feet.
"Well, uh, I like Sonja, but don't you think she would look better if she went with Jax instead?"
Tai stands with a grin on his face and he walks right up to Davis. He pats the young boy on his back and smiles.
"You still haven't learned a whole deal about women, Davis. But it will take time."
"And just what do you mean by that, Tai?" Sora asked with a sneer.
"Oh. Um, nothing, really."
Just then, Sonja jumps out from behind the column and calls out towards Davis, which catches the other Digi-Destineds' attention.
"Hey, Davis! You dumb ass! Jax and I are twins! We're brother and sister!"
Davis and Veemon look back at each other and then at her, surprised.
"But don't think I'm getting soft! I'm not going to thank you for removing the explosives! Jerk!"
She turns around, but she still turns her head to look back at him. She was just fuming and now she was looking cool and calm. She stares silently back over towards him for a few moments. But then, she speaks again.
"But… You were nice enough to save my life… Thanks, Davis. I appreciate it. See you, later."
With that said, she turns around and flies away, leaving Davis confused. Veemon pats his friend on the back in order to comfort him and to bring him out of the trance.
"Hey, Davis! She said she would see you later," said Tai, "Maybe you do have a chance."
"But she's a monster, so don't get your hopes up," remarked Veemon.
Davis grabs Veemon and then shakes him around as if he had already lost his mind.
"Are you sure about that?!"
They all laughed and were quite relieved to have a little happy time right after such a harsh and emotional battle just a few moments ago. But now, it was now time for them to move on eventually. Now there was silence among the group.
"Oh. But I'm only halfway happy," said Davis.
"Your right, its just not the same without TK," Yolei replied.
"Well, I'm about to head home," Ken said, "It's getting late and New Years Day is about to take place at any moment."
Ken picks up Wormmon and then looks right back towards the other children. He then waves over to them.
"My mom has to be worrying sick right about now. Bye guys."
"Bye Ken!"
Just then, Yolei runs over towards Ken. Ken watches her running towards him and facing him.
"You know. You could be awfully lonely on your trip back home. Would you mind if I walked with you?"
"But what about you?"
"Don't worry. I got that covered. So long, guys! Hawkmon, lets get a move on!"
"Hold on! My wings don't make me as fast a jet fighter!"
"Oh and Dimitri. You should be strong enough to easily beat the artificials in the future," Ken said, "But let us know if you need our help. We're here for you, buddy."
"Thank you. I won't forget you two."
"Bye, Dimitri!" exclaimed Yolei, "Keep in touch with us!"
Ken and Yolei hold up their D-3s and activate a portal leading through a digital doorway that would lead them back into the real world. They waved over to the other Digi-Destined, and then they crossed through the portal way and were then sent back home in the real world.
"I think we all should be getting back as well," Tai said, "Our families must be worrying. Especially our parents."
"You got that right," Kari said, "But let's first go and see Mrs. Takaishi and let her know about TK."
"Right. That's the first thing that we'll do," said Tai.
"All right, that portal way should lead us directly back into the real world," Izzy replied, "So, we better get a move on before it closes up."
"Goodbye Digi-Destined and thank you. I will remain here with Azulongmon to watch over the Digital World. We will let you know when TK and Patamon will arrive."
"I will stay to help you out in any way possible," said Leomon, "I will protect this realm for Azulongmon."
"Thank you, Leomon. You are so grateful to volunteer," Gennai replied.
They all nodded and waved their goodbyes to Gennai as they all walked through the portal, which would directly lead them back into the real world.
[Hikari's 02 Image theme "Yasashii Ame" plays]
"Ok, guys! This is the beginning of a time of peace! So lets make it count! Digi-Destined rule," exclaimed Kari.
They all cheered while traveling right through the vortex. They all decided to split up and take opposite directions. Tai, Agumon, Gatomon and Kari went to go see Mrs. Takaishi, to let her know about TK. Mimi, Palmon, Michael and Betamon went into another direction. Joe, Izzy, Tentomon, Gomamon, Sora and Garudamon all flew out into another direction. Cody, Armadillomon, Dimitri and Faith went out another way.
Cody and Dimitri were having a discussion concerning Matt during the battle against Virus. He had told Dimitri everything that occured after getting killed by Virus momentarily.
"My father did that?! He attacked Virus?" asked Dimitri.
"Oh yeah! He was as mad as a hornet! He went ballistic! When he saw you dead, he went bonkers and wanted to kill Virus," Cody said.
"But he paid the price for it, eventually," said Armadillomon.
"So where is my father?"
"I have no idea. He wasn't with us when Azulongmon revived you. He must be back in the real world right about now."
"Is that so?"
Dimitri thought about it for a minute and was shocked to hear that his own father would commit such a heroic act just to get back at Virus.
"Well, I'll be damned. My father has a heart after all."
"Who would have thought?" Faith asked.
"Who knew?"
"Well, I'm going home now, Dimitri. See you tomorrow," Cody said. "Get some rest before New Years."
"You too. See ya!"
With that said, the two Digi-Destined separated out and went into opposite directions. Dimitri headed off towards the destination leading to Mimi's home.

[Takeru's and Patamon's 02 Image theme "Steppin' Out" plays]
Later that night, Tai and Kari told informed Mrs. Takaishi about everything. And not so surprisingly, she was sitting down on her knees in tears. Kari did the best she could to try to comfort her.
"He did to save us all, including yourself, Mrs. Takaishi. Please try to understand," Kari said.
"Oh my baby boy… what a sacrifice he made… I just wanted him to come home safe and sound…"
"I'm so sorry," Kari replied, "But he will be back. Just remember of who he is and pray that he comes back safe and sound. Because if there is one thing I know about TK, he's a very resourceful kid. Trust me."
Mrs. Takaishi looked right up at Kari with teary eyes and nodded.
"TK, I just hope you keep your promise like you said you would. I'll do the best as I can to comfort your mother,"Kari said to herself.
****************************************************************************************
January 1, 2005
The next day, everybody gathered over at the Odabia Park where Dimitri was now getting ready to depart back to his future time period. They each said their goodbyes to the young warrior and wished him the best in his time period.
Dimitri stood right in front of his young mother, Mimi, and gave her a big hug.
"Goodbye, mom. You take care of yourself."
"You too, Dimitri. I hope you give those mean artificials the whooping that they deserve. And I want you to take good care of yourself. Who would have thought my own son is a freedom fighter of the future, while his mother would rather spend her time in a mall shopping for some new accessories?"
"Like I said, you really don't change much in my time. I love you, mom. I'll always cherish you and everyone else in my heart."
He looks right over towards the other Digi-Destined and waved to them.
"Bye guys! Thanks for helping me out. I will never forget you."
Faith was sitting on top of his head and waving over to the Digimon.
"Bye. Bye."
Dimitri turns around and sees Matt standing alongside Gabumon. Matt walks right over to his future son and gives him a 'manly handshake' so to speak.
"Goodbye, son. You go kick some ass in the future. And say hi to your mom there for me."
"I will. Thanks dad."
Dimitri then pulls out his time traveler device, which was repaired by Izzy, and activates it. Within a second, a dimensional portal opened up and then Dimitri waved his last goodbyes to each of the Digi-Destined. He then steps right through and the portal quickly closes right up.
The whole Digi-Destined gang quickly began to depart as they set off to begin their time of peace. Davis and Tai started off the day with a one on one game of soccer, with Agumon and Veemon serving as the goalies. Sora watched the game along with Biyomon, while picking at flowers.
Mimi sat alongside Palmon while throwing rocks into a nearby pond. Just then, she turns around and sees Matt walking up to her. Mimi smiles and gives Matt enough room for him to sit next to her. Here, their eventual relationship would begin.
Yet another relationship was building up as Ken and Yolei were walking alongside a trail around the lake. Wormmon and Hawkmon walked up to them with ice cream cones. The children took the ice cream with consideration and began to eat them while walking along the trail.
Kari was sitting on a nearby bench with Gatomon as they gazed up into the skies above. The wind breeze blew against their faces. Kari felt a cold touch on her shoulder and she quickly spins around to see an image of TK and Patamon smiling down upon them. A smile comes across the face of Kari while Gatomon began to wonder what she was looking at.
"A time for a new beginning. The nightmare known as Virus has been laid to rest and the two worlds are safe again. But I wonder… I wonder when TK will come back. After all, he kept his promise… Takeru, I sure won't forget you. I hope you come back… But for now, we shall move on… I want to be a kindergarten teacher, or just a teacher… You know how much I love kids… So it will give me a chance to get to know others better plus it will make me feel much better… But I won't ever forget you, Takeru."
"Kari?"
"Yeah?"
"Lets go watch that game of soccer. I'm sure Tai is whooping Davis. I'd pay to see that any day."
"Sure."
The two ran off towards over the soccer field, to watch Davis and Tai settling the scores in their old ritual of soccer.
****************************************************************************************
Just within the time vortex, Dimitri was glaring down at the upcoming portal way that would eventually lead him back into his future time period. He gives a serious glare and is more focused than he has ever been before.
"My mission isn't over. Its payback for the suffering you've caused, artificials."
****************************************************************************************
Odaiba. Alternate Time Period. April 1, 2025
Back in the alternate future time period, the city of Odaiba is again in peace. However, that sudden silence would not last very long as a huge explosion occurs. And then another one occurs on the other side of the city. And another. People are screaming and fleeing in absolute terror.
Just then, there was a large group of people running away as fat as they could in order to avoid being killed, by none other than the two killer artificials Jax and Sonja. And without warning, the two artificials appeared out of nowhere with her hands stretched out.
"Look, Sonja! Its a stampede!"
"Time for some bonus points!"
With that said, the two artificials powered up and shot out ki-blasts right at the group of fleeing people with ease. Screams could be heard as the explosion engulfed them whole. Jax and Sonja stood there with satisfied looks on their faces.
"This is great! I don't know what's better: slaughtering some meat or just blowing shit up!" said Jax.
"Yeah but it's really boring. I say we spice things up a bit," replied Sonja.
"Good idea. I would have said it any better!"
The two artificial demons continued their relentless attacks as they destroyed more buildings with ki-blasts and taking the lives of many innocent souls along with it.
Would there be a hope to these lost souls and will the twenty-year reign of terror end?
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Dimitri finds himself flying right out of the portal vortex and in a devastated location. This is where he had exactly left in order to go into the present time period before leaving. He looked across and could see a sheltered home that read 'Ishida Family'.
"Ah, good! It's still there! I guess, time here went really slow and my leaving had little effect here."
"Yeah. I'm getting hungry. I hope your mom has something baked," Faith said.
"You just had tons of bread rolls on the way over here, hungry already?"
"Well, I am quite a porker."
Dimitri chuckles and then walks right over towards the sheltered home. He turns the knob and noticed that it was open. He walks inside and sees his mother, Mimi, sitting on a chair with a magazine in her hand.
"Hi, mom! You're looking pretty preoccupied!"
Mimi quickly turns around and places down her magazine. She gasps and quickly runs up to her son with open arms. She happily cries on his shoulder.
"Oh, Dimitri! You're home! I'm so glad that you're all right! Oh my baby boy… Whoa. You sure have grown a lot. What happened, there?"
"Yeah, in the past, I entered a time chamber room with Faith and we used it in order to increase the power of our fusion ability. But yeah, you could say that I sprouted."
"Not only that, but you have grown quite built. I guess you take after your father."
"Speaking of my father, I saw him in the past and I actually got to know him a little better."
"That's good. You can tell me all about it in the kitchen, honey."
Dimitri sat down in a chair and watched as Mimi grabbed two cups and poured them each with coffee, she had previously made a while ago. Palmon comes walking into the room.
"Dimitri! Welcome back! Whoa, you've grown!"
"Yeah, my mom can tell you all about it, Palmon. So, did you take care of mom, while I was away?"
"Sure, did! The artificials haven't reached as far as this area, so we were pretty safe."
"That's good to know."
"So, tell me, Dimitri. Judging by your face, I'd say something good happened."
After a short moment to recap the entire War Games battle, Mimi sighed in disbelief as she places the cup on the table. When Dimitri told her about TK's death, she was stunned and taken back.
"So, TK sacrificed himself to save the day huh? And Kari was the one who finished him? Whoa, that must have been quite a battle."
"It was and you were right. Father was not the cold-hearted person I'd thought he be. When I was killed by Virus, dad went mad and went all out on Virus when he saw me dead."
"See I told you! That's why I said that! I told you so… Na! Na!"
"I never should have doubted you, mother."
Mimi takes a sip from her mug and then begins to voice her final thought about Matt.
"Heee, I didn't know that Matt had that side to him. That arrogant man actually has a heart after all."
Suddenly, the radio interrupts and goes update on the artificial situation occurring in Odaiba.
"We're sorry to interrupt the programming again, but we have the latest report on the killer artificials. They're attacking the Highton View Terrace location over in Odaiba as we speak!"
Just the, Dimitri slams his hands down angrily while growling under his breathe.
"That's it! Now it's their turn! I'm taking them down!"
"Dimitri, are you sure you want to go through with this?" asked Mimi.
Dimitri looks over towards his mother and a smile forms across his face. Then she smiles right back.
"Of course! That is the reason why I went to the present time period in the first place. I learned a lot and I've gotten a lot stronger with Faith. We're one unstoppable team. Let's do this, Faith!"
"Ready whenever you are!"
"Fusion Shinka!!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Dimitri and Faith both started to glow and slowly transformed into streams of data. They fused together as they formed into a single entity. Then in their place stood none other than Angemon X and a sparkly glare appears in his eyes.
"Mother! It's time to bring a time of peace in this time period as well! Nightmares don't last forever. The moment you wake up from them, they aren't there anymore."
"You can do it, Dimitri! I believe in you, son! Go get them!"
"Oh yeah."
With that said, Angemon X goes running out of their home and goes flying off into the skies above. They traveled a long distance and managed to speed up in order to get to Odaiba as soon as possible.
****************************************************************************************
Back in Odaiba, Jax and Sonja continued blowing things up all around them. Sonja holds her hand out and throws off a large ki beam into the city as Jax watches with crossed arms.
"Your still a little spoiled brat, getting mad about losing a boy you considered cute?"
But Sonja just continues blasting the city with sheer anger.
"Shut up! I'm still not talking to you!!"
Suddenly Jax jumps away but is still struck by a gun shot bullet out of nowhere. He then turns to see an old army officer lying on the ground with his gun pointed towards the evil cyborg. Despite being hit, Jax, of course, was not affected.
"You killed my son you monster!"
"Pretty good aim there, soldier. Do you want to play a game? I bet you do, huh? Here."
Jax crouches down and pointed his hand out right towards the soldier's man and was ready to blast him away.
"Nah. I'll tell you what. Let's play a little game of Cowboy and Indian. I'm the cowboy and you're the Indian. Ok there, now draw!"
The artificial male pulls out a small gun from his side pocket and makes a point blank position to the man's forehead.
"Bang…"
Just then, Angemon X quickly drops out of the sky and lands right in front of the two artificials with a determined look on his face.
"This is as far as you two go! I've come to kill you once and for all."
Jax gasps and stands right up to face Angemon X. A grin forms across Jax's face as if he were already confident to defeat the warrior.
"What? Are you still alive? Don't you know wasting your effort like this makes you look stupid, Dimitri?"
"Ugh! Do you mind if I kill him myself?" asked Sonja, "I'm in a bitchy mood."
She then holds out her hand to blast Angemon X.
"We'll lose a fun game, Sonja. But go ahead. Do whatever you want."
She smiles and then throws a blast right out at Angemon X. He easily watches it come forth at him and bats it away as if it were nothing more than a pesky fly. He holds out his hand right out in front of her and she quickly gasps in shock. Angemon X throws out a huge ki blast at Sonja and her screams could be heard throughout the city.
As soon as the dust cloud clears away, all who was left standing was none other than Angemon X. Jax gasps and couldn't believe his very own eyes. Sonja was so effortlessly defeated by the same warrior who was battered and beaten around like ease, but now Sonja had suffered the consequences and was no more.
"I don't believe it! What? What did you do? How could you kill Sonja like that?!"
Angemon X turns around and glares at him angrily. Jax's eyes widen and he steps away.
"That was for my friends that you killed… and this… This… is for… TAKERU!!"
Angemon X charges up his ki and shoots out a huge blast at Jax and this was something that Jax was unable to avoid.
"DIE!!!"
Angemon X quickly leaps forward and kicks Jax hard in the place, leaving a dent in the artificial's face and throwing him back. Angemon X flies up and watches his blast go straight at Jax and easily destroying him within a matter of seconds.
Angemon X lands right back down and quickly defuses back into Dimitri and Faith. Dimitri looks up in the sky and feels a dark presence somewhere far away and he knew whom it belonged to.
"Is it over? No, not yet. There's one more I can't forget about. Virus, I know you're out there."
****************************************************************************************
Shinjuku.
Far off from Odaiba, the city of Shinjuku was left in silence and there were no traces of any people left. However, there was one figure standing amongst the ghost town. It was Virus, and he felt the presence of Dimitri. A wicked smile forms across his face.
"I've found you."
****************************************************************************************
March 23, 2028
Three years have now passed and the cities worldwide were being restored after the devastation left by the artificials. The time of peace has now come and no strange incidents have occurred during those three years of peace.
Dimitri was standing outside in front of his mother as he was now prepared to take another trip back into the present time, in order to let the Digi-Destined know that he destroyed the artificials.
"Tell, everybody hi for me," Mimi said.
"And don't forget me," Palmon replied.
"Sure, no prob. I'm already going to miss you two already."
[Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays]
Suddenly, a familiar figure waits behind a corner of a nearby building. Faith was the first to sense the dark presence and he quickly turns around growling.
"What's wrong, Faith?"
"Dimitri. He's here."
"Mother. You and Palmon have to get back inside. Now."
"Ok. Lets go, Palmon."
Mimi and Palmon go running inside their home, which left Dimitri and Faith alone as they turned around to face the creature from behind them.
"I know you're there, Virus. I know all about your plan to kill me, then find a dimensional traveling pod from one of these near buildings, change back into an egg, and use it to go back in time to go absorb Jax and Sonja!"
Virus is quickly caught by surprise and is taken back at what Dimitri had just said to him.
"What? How? How did you know that?!"
"I read your palm, big guy. Yep, you got a short life span coming right up."
Virus steps out from behind the building and he confronts Dimitri with an angry look on his face.
"What do you mean that my plan won't work?! You're talking big for someone in your position!"
"Virus, you're fully evolved form was certainly too powerful for me to beat, but I should be strong enough to deal with your present form!"
"Oh I see! You went into the past! That would explain why you know so much."
Dimitri simply smiles.
"But you've got to be damn crazy to think that you can defeat me. I've learned everything to know about you through the spy robot. You shouldn't even be able to defeat Jax and Sonja, who are much weaker than I am."
Dimitri begins to chuckle deeply.
"Then why have Sonja and Jax disappeared her in this time, then?"
Virus realizes at what he was saying and is quickly taken back at what he just said. Now his chances of absorbing the artificials have now gone down the drain. His chances of reaching his fully evolved form were no longer a dream.
"You were the one to beat them?!"
Dimitri smiles as he and Faith quickly fuse together and Angemon X appeared in their place. He looks towards Virus and holds out his hands.
"I don't want to fight here in Odaiba, especially in front of my own mother. They've rebuilt so much. Lets go somewhere else to fight!"
Angemon X quickly unleashes his ki energy and sends Virus flying right up into the sky with tremendous force. He goes flying right after Virus. The two fly off into an uninhabited area and land on opposing cliffs. They stare at each other quietly, until Virus breaks the silence.
"You… You have gotten a lot stronger, Dimitri."
Angemon X quickly powers up and ascends into his ascended fusion level. He raised his fists.
"There's no way I'm going to let you go into the past!"
"Shut up, you good for nothing jackass!"
[Imperfect Cell's English theme plays]
With that said, Virus jumps forward, but Angemon X easily blocks his attacks. Angemon X punches him and he flies back. He stops, sitting on one knee, Angemon X's impact still visible on his face. Suddenly Virus' tail swings out, but Angemon X effortlessly catches it. Virus gasps in horror. Angemon X lifts Virus into the air by his tail. He then releases Virus, sending him sailing into the sky above. Then without warning, Virus stops himself in the air.
"Asshole! You've forced me to…"
Virus pulls his hands over the top of his head and forms a large ki-ball, which would led to one of War Greymon's finishing moves.
"See how you like this technique!"
Virus begins powering up his energy ball in the palm of his hands.
"TE-R-RA FO-R-"
Virus quickly gasps as he stops his chant. Angemon X holds out his arms up in the air, a ring expanding around him as he powers up.
"This nightmare is over, Virus!! Die!!"
Angemon X then throws an enormous ki-blast at the Original Virus. Virus stares down at the rising ki-blast with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.
"No! No! DAMN YOU!!!"
Virus screams as the ki-blast engulfs him and completely destroys him, beyond the point of regeneration.

The smoke begins to clear away and the ground around Angemon X is completely broken up. He sighs and completely fades out of his fusion form, and back into two separate entities, Faith and Dimitri.
"Now we can finally say that it's over. Thank you, father. Thank you, TK. Thank you, Tai and Kari Kamiya. And thanks, Digi-Destined."
Minutes later, Dimitri carries Faith back over to his home and Dimitri hopped off outside of his mother's home. Mimi and Palmon ran outside to greet them for a good well done.
"It's over, mother. The nightmare is finally over."
"Thank goodness. Now we can all have a time of peace."
"It's been a long time I've heard anyone say that. And it's about damn time too."
At last, Dimitri and his mother, Mimi, have found peace in their terrible future. From now on, they'll treasure their peace… Just as long as Dimitri is alive… That's all that matters…

[Preview]
TK: Hi, everyone! It's me, Takeru! In case you're wondering where I'm at. Well, let's just say I'll be playing the Gatekeeper's errand boy but there's a price to it. If I manage to restore order down in Digital Limbo, the Gatekeeper might allow me to return to the living world! This is so great!
Gatekeeper: That's if you're willing to live up to you're expectations.
TK: We'll take care of it.
Burizalor: Well, well. It's Takeru! It's so good to see you again!
TK: Damn! So it's true. You and Virus are teaming up down in limbo! We'll take care of this mess!
Virus: That's if you're willing to take us all on! You're chances of seeing that little bitch is slim to none!
TK: That bitch killed your ass.
Burizalor: Demon Corps! Attack this insect!
TK: Come and get… What the?!
[Suddenly an Imperialdramon with white armor appears before TK.]
TK: Who are you?!
Imperialdramon: I'm a loyal soldier to the Gatekeeper. I've been sent to lend you a hand and don't you worry. You'll see Hikari again, Takeru. You have my word.
TK: The final Zero Two episode happens to be the epilogue to this long saga and it's entitled…
Takeru Faces off Against Burizalor, Virus, Lady Myotismon and the Demon Corps! 'I Will See Hikari Once Again!'
Kari: TK, when will you come back?
***************************************************************************************
SSJ4T: Just to avoid confusion, yes that was the alternate time period where nearly all the Digi-Destined were slain by the artificials. Another thing is that Black War Greymon wasn't revived. He chose not to come back and decided to atone in limbo. I'm actually thinking of doing a mini-series based on these events alone. You'll come to know how Tai catches the disease and the artificials slaining nearly the entire Zero Two cast.
Coral: That's depressing. Whether it be Dimitri or Trunks…
Max: Or me for that matter. My future was fucked up by the Digital Warlord.
SSJ4T: It's now safe to assume that the Digi-Destined have saved their future from becoming hell as Dimitri predicted.
Max: So, once this epilogue is done, we're all finished with the first three seasons?
SSJ4T: Remember I still have my Tamers fic. Just two final chapters on that and I'll be set to focus on my Yugioh fic and D-Frontier series. Until then, check out the latest Tamers chapter! Peace!
