(FINAL CHAPTER UP! I don't own Digimon. I don't own John Cottrell, Viewtiful John does.)

The 4 different squadrons along, with their leaders were now exposed from the asteroid field. They found themselves facing Ryo Akiyama's forces along with the president himself.

John glared at the President. "President Oikawa... We trusted you. But you've let us down... You promised us peace and end to wars..."

"Oh but I have... With the nuclear satellite...I can end all wars. Our enemies will be too afraid to try and attack us. We can have the whole universe in our grasp..."

Tai spoke up from within WAR GREYMON. "How can there be peace in a universe ruled by fear?! It's not right. We cannot gain respect and unison from fear. Wee need love and trust. War must be ended in a peaceful way...but it appears it's not possible now. Sorry Mr. President... But we'll have to fight you..."

Oikawa chuckled. "I see... I guess there is no other way. PREPARE TO FIGHT FOOLS!" MALO MYOTISMON spread its body out in attack mode. It suddenly began to charge up a flare like attack...then fired it.

BLAM!

The battle had begun.

MAGNAMON and RAPIDMON took first initiative as they were confronted a squadron of PTERAMON. They were bombarded with a horde of missiles, before they could break through. They fired cannons of gold energy that shot down half of the fleet. Only the next minute it was replaced with twice the number... Thankfully a fleet of FLAMEDRAMON and RAIDRAMON were there to back Daisuke and Willis up, as they locked into combat with electrical pulses and flare rockets.

Takuya, VITRAMON and a fleet of METAL TYRANNOMON burst onto the scene, with more fire rockets, firing upon an opposing battalion of GARUDAMON. The GARUDAMON countered with a wave of cannon blasts, blowing out some of the METAL TYRANNOMON. Buy it allowed VITRAMON to charge through and take out for of the GARUDAMON, before being fired upon him self.

Takato's DUKEMON was assaulted by a BULBMON leading a group of KNIGHTMON. DUKEMON swung its lance at two attacking KNIGHTMON, knocking them out of the way before piercing one through with his lance. Takato tossed the downed KNIGHTMON into the other before firing his lightning pulse at the both of them. Suddenly he was attacked form behind by three more KNIGHTMON, tossing him almost into an asteroid. He turned around to face them only to find fox faced missiles fired at them, and the targets in flames, before blowing up. He looked to see Ruki's SAKUYAMON flying in, using its staff to slam down another KNIGHTMON.

Taichi's WAR GREYMON was faced with a group of METAL GREYMON, the viral models. WAR GREYMON held up its shield to block the incoming missiles while it maneuvered around the mechs and slashed them through with steel claws... The rest, Taichi fired upon them with his Dramon Destroyers. But then he was faced with two more packs that surrounded him from all sides, that is, until PHOENIXMON appeared form above dropping a swarm of missiles like eggs.

BLAM BLAM BLAM!

The METAL GREYMON were destroyed.

While the battle was raging on, Oikawa had begun to activate the satellites. He was coming close to the nuclear one...

Taichi's METAL GREYMON army opened fire upon the BULBMON that Takato was dealing with.

The BULBMON however was able to counter attack with a deadly laser stream and wiped out half of Taichi's group... It then fired from the back, taking out a platoon of FLAMEDRAMON.

INFERMON was attacking with its flamethrower setting an enemy platoon of SABREDRAMKN ablaze before shooting them down. Inside, John was checking out his monitor, when he started to pick up high energy signal a few yards away. He turned around, to see his worst fear. Oikawa was activating the satellites, and was about to switch on the nuclear one. Fearing the worst, he piloted INFERMON, and rocketed towards the satellite.

Oikawa fiddled with the connections and controls of the satellite. "Come on...almost... He connected two wires to a small black box, and then flicked the switch. "Yes!"

BRRRRRRRRRRRR...

The satellite made a whirring noise that could be heard on the battlefield. It suddenly opened up, revealing two dishes with meter long antennae. But also, what looked like 4 long, big cannons. The front cannon began to aim at INFERMON...

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

The last thing John saw was a huge column of energy heading right for him...then he and INFERMON were engulfed immediately... The cannon didn't stop there, as the beam continued traveling taking out anything and anyone in its path. Many DIGIMON and Digital Knights on both sides were engulfed by the nuclear energy and killed instantly.

"JOHN!" Koushiro called out.

Taichi, Sora, Yamato and the rest watched in horror at the destruction seen before them. Many of their soldiers, including their commander had been obliterated in one shot...

But it didn't end there...Oikawa moved MALO MYOTISMON over to satellite and lifted it onto the back of the DIGIMON. "Hahaha... My new artillery! Who should I use it on first?"

JUSTIMON moved to the side of MALO MYOTISMON. "Sir..." Ryo spoke. "We have John Cottrel eliminated. We should go for the squad leaders and the Major!"

"Ah... Excellent idea General...We can-UGH!"

They were opened fire upon from behind, almost getting the satellite damaged. MALO MYOTISMON lifted an asteroid up and moved it in front of itself and Justimon.

The Virus Hackers, hearing the new broadcast now realized there were some freedom fighters that needed their help, and damned if the call would go unanswered.

"Well... It looks like some certain Digital Knights tipped us off." Yamaki said, with a smile. "Now maybe we can end this here and now..."

The Digital Knights loyal to Oikawa found themselves dropping like flies, faster than the Knights loyal to the Commander, who were using this chance to avenge their fallen friends. Laser, missiles and torpedoes flew, metal clanged, and broke. Screams of sudden death were heard through space as the battle raged on.

Taichi/WAR GREYMON and Yamato/METAL GARURUMON found themselves dealing with Oikawa/MALO MYOTISMON.

Taichi fired his DIGIMON's dramon cannons at full power, while Yamato fired an ungermax of missiles form his own DIGIMON.

Oikawa was able to shield himself, using MALO MYOTISMON'S cape wings as a powerful shield. "Fools, MALO MYOTISMON is the ultimate in DIGIMON technology. It is PENULTIMATE! Especially, since now I have my nuclear satellite attached to it!" Oikawa fired his hidden pulse cannons at both DIGIMON, knocking them for a loop, and stupefying their pilots.

Taichi and Yamato recomposed themselves, and tried to steady their DIGIMON, when their monitors were confronted with the visage of the enemy mech. It almost seemed like it was smiling, laughing at them.

EXCELLENT... The AI of MALO MYOTISMON spoke to its pilot. But it sure didn't sound or acted like an AI. YOU HAVE THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR GRASP, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO FINISH THE JOB... The AI sounded like an actual being, poisoning Oikawa's mind. MALO MYOTISMON suddenly turned its Rear cannon towards the Virus Hackers, and let another nuclear stream loose. 60 DIGIMON went down in flames, including BLIMPMON. The Virus Hacker fleet tried to dodge out of the way, but the nuclear streams were too fast. Both Digital Knight and Virus Hacker were in danger...

Yamaki glowered as he watched his fleets become decimated. "This is bad... Okiawa's going to destroy everything in sight. He's trying to control the world with fear... We must stop him at all costs! Even his own Digital Knights have turned against him. Well, looks like the least we can do is help them. ALL UNITS! SURROUND THE MALO MYOTISMON MECH! WE MUST TERMINATE OIKAWA BEFORE HE BLOWS UP THE EARTH!"

"Digital Knights!" John yelled over his com. "The Virus Hackers are NOT the enemy. Oikawa is! We have to stop him before he jeopardizes all life as we know it!"

"Commander!" It's Jenrya Lee. He appeared to be 2nd in command of Ryo's fleet. "We hereby denounce our allegiance to General Akiyama. We shall assist you!" The felt turned their weaponry on the General.

"What are you fools doing?!" Ryo said with a hint of fear.

"Something we should have done a long time ago. YOU MADMAN!" SAINT GALGOMON fired two large missiles straight at JUSTIMON, as soon as Jenrya said "madman."

BLAM!

JUSTIMON was blown to smithereens.

"Hmf..." Oikawa just snorted. "He was a bit of a pill... Now, here are my thanks to you..." MALO MYOTISMON turned its nuclear weaponry over to the fleet, and fired.

SAINT GALGOMON and the fleet were annihilated instantly...which also included Juri's LEOMON, Ken's STINGMON, and Miyako's SHURIMON.

"KEN!!" Davis shouted. He watched as his best friend, and his fiancé were enveloped in the nuclear blast.

Takato watched as another couple, which was two of his own friends were also engulfed by the energy. Takato, felt hot tears sting in his eyes... His fists shook. "Oikawa... YOU MONSTER!!"

"Now why should you be mourning them? As far as I'm concerned... YOU SHALL JOIN THEM!!" Oikawa turned the cannons on Takato and his fleet.

"NOT TODAY!"

A rain of grenades bombarded MALO MYOTISMON, rocking him back and forth.

Everyone looked up into the sky. A strange looking Digimon, which seemed ape like in one sense, was floating down. It had a mask like face, and razor sharp claws.

"How is everyone?" The voice sounded familiar.

"JOHN?!" Koushiro exclaimed.

"The one and only... The nuclear blast didn't destroy me. It seemed to destroy an outer shell of this DIGIMON, or unlocked its true form. It's not INFERMON anymore. It's DIABLOMON (DIABOROMON) now!"

DIABLOMON flung itself upon MALO MYOTISMON and the two massive DIGIMON grappled against each other. "Alright Oikawa... Your game is up... You think you'll rule the world with the fear of a nuclear weapon?! I'll show you!" DIABLOMON swung an arm down, knocking MALO MYOTISMON away.

Oikawa pushed some controls causing MALO MYOTISMON to stretch out in mid air... Suddenly the satellite went wild and started firing a genocide wave of nuclear blasts, firing them around in a circle.

DIGIMON starting being going down like waiters on the Titanic. Flames were erupting, metal flew everywhere, and screams of death could be heard.

"ALL UNITS!" Yamaki shouted. Fall back for now, before we...AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!!" Yamaki never said another word, as his BLIMPMON was engulfed in flames, and exploded.

Ducking under the line of Fire, Taichi, Sora, Yamato and the surviving Digital Knights were thinking of what they could do.

"It's too late..." Yamato said despondently. "We've lost..."

"Not yet!" Taichi scolded. "There's still a chance. Oikawa's preoccupied with his power right now... If we could attack him from below..."

"Taichi... You've just given me an Idea..." John said. DIABLOMON suddenly rocketed right underneath MALO MYOTISMON. "This will take him by surprise..." The DIGIMON suddenly rocketed up to its opponent and grabbed it by the legs.

Oikawa was in so much shock that his satellite cannon froze in an awkward position.

Koushiro saw this chance, and there was an exposed spot on MALO MYOTISMON'S back. He piloted HERCULES KABUTEIRMON at a sudden speed, aiming for MALO MYOTISMON. He was attempting a battering ram-like attack. He charged off like a bullet for the President's DIGIMON.

CRONCH!!

HERCULES KABUTERIMON hit the satellite horn first...

BLAM!

Three DIGIMON were thrown back form the recoil. When the smoke Cleared, MALO MYOTISMON was still standing, but the nuclear satellite was completely destroyed...

"NO! MY SATTELITE!" Oikawa yelled in fury. "You realize what you fools have done?!"

THEY'VE BEATEN YOU, YOU FAILURE... The "AI" spoke. I HAVE LOST AGAIN, ALL BECAUSE I HAVE REPEATED THE SAME MISTAKE, OF USING A HUMAN TO DO MY WORK...

WAR GREYMON, METAL GARURUMON, PHONEIXMON, ROSEMON, ANGEMON, ANGEWOMON, MAGNAMON, RAPIDMON, AGNIMON, WOLFMON, FAIRYMON, HERCULES KABUTERIMON, and DIABLOMON were all circled around MALO MYOTISMON.

"Mr. President..." John spoke... "SEE YOU IN HELL!"

The circle opened fire...

MALO MYOTISMON was hit from all sides by so much artillery, that its armor began to crack and break, until its machinery was exposed. It burst into flames, as the President was trapped inside, until...

KABOOM!

MALO MYOTISMON blew up, killing Oikawa instantly...

Hours later...

In front of Odaiba industries, the surviving Digital Knights were all gathered outside on a band stand, as John, who had now appointed himself as the new President. He stood in front of a podium with the very Digital Knights that were responsible for showing the truth about the Oikawa... "These brave young people have shown us what a mad man the former President was. If it weren't for them, the entire universe would have been enslaved. But thanks to them, we have been saved form yet another war that would have brought everyone to their knees." He turned and applauded for them

Everyone, citizen, Digital Knight, or Virus Hacker alike cheered and whistled, at Taichi and co.

Taichi looked at his fellow Digital Knights. "Wow... This was certainly something... We've become national heroes."

Takeru rubbed the back of his head. "Of course, we just saved space from a nuclear threat."

"Yeah... Oikawa can rot in hell now, for all we care." Takato said bitterly.

"He cost us so many friends, and family members..." Takuya said solemnly.

Koushiro stepped up and patted both on the backs. "It's ok. After what we've done... I bet they're smiling down on us right now. They wouldn't want us to be sad for the rest of our lives..."

Takato and Takuya both began to smile a little.

"You're...right. Jenrya would be proud of what we've accomplished..."

"They all would... We've saved millions of lives from ruin..."

"Besides... We've gained something much more from all this." Taichi added slyly, holding Sora close to him.

Sora giggled. "You've got that right." She kissed him on the lips.

Takato, Takuya, Koushiro, Takeru all followed Tai's lead, and kissed Ruki, Izumi, Mimi, and Hikari, causing everyone to cheer louder and harder, as all the girls returned the kissing...

Truly this was a great day for all in the universe... Everlasting peace may not have been achieved, but a universal wide disaster had been averted, which would allow everyone to sleep peacefully...
