"Lastly, the boss decided to have the kings transformed into pokémon because otherwise, he would've spoiled the chapter by making them be actual Mario enemies."

"Here's the next chapter!" I shouted happily.

"I better get going then."

"Wait. You'll need this." I handed Carlos a device with a red button on it. The brunet raised an eyebrow at me.

"What's this?"

"This is a soul transference device." I explained. "You can use it if you are in immediate danger. It'll release you from your game form."

"Ok, but why would I need it?"

I leaned over and whispered in Carlos' ear"

"We're playing that?" He yelled frightfully. "Why?"

"Duh! You can't have a collection of game parodies without a game from this great series."

"Whatever."

The Substitute

Chapter Eleven

Final Boss Battle Bonanza!

Part One

(A/N: Because I'm tired of writing this fic, I'm just gonna skip the 7th game and go straight to the last one. I'll give a summary, plus last battle commentary for what the 7th game would've been.)

That night in the Dark Carrier…

Carlos was seething. He was bearing his teeth and growling. He was squeezing his left fist. He squeezed it so hard that drops of crimson started falling on the cold floor.

"AHHHHHHHHH!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!" He screamed in righteous fury as he stomped the floor and pounded the walls in rage. "That was the best game! How could they win!.? It's impossible!.!.!"

"Carlos…" Wormmon said. He was cowering in the corner. Spending months with a maniac who's trying to take over the world will do that to ya.

"They are too close! They already got six of the medallions!.!.!" Carlos roared, shooting a glance at the gold door. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden disc. "This is one of my hardest games. It's chock full of dangerous mazes and puzzles. They can't possibly beat it in a day, let alone at all. It took me a week and two days to beat this."

(Me: o.O;.;.;.; Carlos, you had that game in your pocket unprotected!.?)

"Yeah. Why?"

(Me: You suck at storing games.)

"Heh, heh. Oops." Carlos then got back to character. "In any case, they won't survive this game." He opened the panel and put in the game. He closed it and screwed it shut. "See ya later, Wormmon." Carlos left the Dark Carrier.

The next day…

"I can't believe I have to spend my Sunday playing some game." Davis groaned.

"I'm supposed to be helping my mom with stuff today." Kari said.

"I'm just supposed to be sleeping." Yolei said.

"And I'm supposed to be hanging with friends." TK said.

"I'm supposed to be doing kendo practice." Cody added.

"My, my. Would you like some bread to go with your whine?" Carlos sneered. "If you all got things to do, just give up now and let me win." He got a grin when everybody glared.

"Anyway, it's time to begin. Roulette! Go!" The crests shuffled around until all of them showed up. TK's glowed brightest.

'They won't even come close to beating me.' Carlos thought with a grin. The Dark Door opened and sucked everybody in.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"I can't believe he's this close to beating me." Carlitodorf (Carlos) said. He was wearing a sinister black wizard's robe. He was also much fatter than he was in the Digital World. He was standing atop a dark castle. The sea served as the sky above. The princess of Lowrule, Kari, was lying unconscious a few feet away.

Here's the lowdown. Everybody was playing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The chapter would've been called "The Legend of Kari: The Wind Breaker." TK was playing as Link, Carlos is playing as Ganondorf, but because I felt like it, his character's name is Carlitodorf. Obviously, by the name of the chapter, you would've guessed that Kari is playing as Princess Zelda. She was also playing as the pirate Tetra, except her name is Ketra. Lame cover-up, I know. Davis is playing as the King of Hyrule. To play the whole spoofing thing, I called Hyrule "Lowrule."

Veemon played as Valoo, the god of Dragon Roost Island (which would've been called "Dramon Roost Island"). He was gigantic and had fake cardboard wings. Armadillomon played as the great Deku Tree, the god of Forest Haven. Patamon played as the last god, Jabun (I had no other part to cast him as). Hawkmon played as Prince Komali of the Rito (which in the chapter would've been a tribe of hawkmon). Yolei played as Medli, Prince Komali's best friend. She had a hawkmon's body. Cody played as Makar, a Korok from Forest Haven. Gatomon played as Aryll, Link's sister. Finally, Wormmon played as the following monsters: the Helmaroc King, Phantom Carlito (Ganon), and Puppet Carlito.

The game started off with TK stuck on Outset Island. It was his twelfth birthday and Gatomon, who was in a bad mood throughout the game, came and woke him up. She gave TK her telescope as a birthday present. TK through it and discovered a giant bird, which was being pursued by pirates. The bird had a girl in its talons. The pirate ship blasted the bird with a cannonball, knocking the girl into the forest on top of the island's mountain. TK got a sword from an old digimon and went to rescue the girl. After fighting some ugly-looking monsters, TK rescued the pirate, who introduced herself as Ketra. After leaving the forest, TK and Ketra watched in horror as Gatomon was snatched by the great bird. It flew off towards a dark place known as the Forsaken Fortress.

After getting a shield and some green clothes, TK got on the pirate ship and rode to the fortress. There, he was shot towards the cell window, but unfortunately, he crashed into the wall instead. The blow caused TK to drop his sword. After a terrifying experience traversing the fortress, he reclaimed his sword and got into the cell. There, he found Gatomon and some girls. TK was about to cut the lock and free everybody when the bird appeared. TK fought bravely, but the bird was too strong. It grabbed him and carried him to the top of the island. There, TK saw a man—or rather, boy—dressed in black. The black clad boy ordered the bird to dispose of TK, which it did rather nicely. He was tossed off to the east.

What followed after that was TK meeting the King of Blue Lions, his faithful—or not—boat. TK got a sail for the boat, which happened to have Davis' "lovely" voice. Afterwards, TK sailed all the way to Dramon Roost Island. There, Davis gave TK a magical tool; the mystical Wind Breaker pills. The way they worked was that TK would swallow one pill from the never-ending bottle and move his body in order to control the winds by the sound he would make with his body.

Needless to say, after that followed enough fart jokes to put Nickelodeon out of business. From then on, TK used the not-so-mystical pills to get through the harsh dungeons to retrieve the three pearls needed to enter the sacred Tower of the Celestial Digimon. After completing the dangerous trial, TK went under the sea to find out his destiny, and get the Master Sword, the sword of evil's bane. After that, he rescued Gatomon, defeated the robotic bird Wormmon was inside of, and strengthened his sword by going to two temples with Yolei and then Cody.

After getting the pieces of the Triforce of Hope, TK bravely went back down to Lowrule and went to Carlito's Castle. There, he braved the challenges the castle had to offer and even fought a giant puppet piloted by Wormmon. Now, TK got to the castle's roof, where his destiny awaited. He unsheathed his sword as he saw the evil wizard standing across from him with the princess lying by his side. Carlitodorf's back was turned to TK.

"Let her go!" TK yelled. Carlitodorf gave him a glance.

"Oh. It's you." He growled as he turned towards the horizon again. "My hometown lay within a vast wasteland. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my land, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of the Digital World brought something other than suffering and ruin. I... loved that wind, I guess." A single tear rolled down his cheek. TK couldn't help but be moved by that speech.

"Man Carlos. Did all that really happen to you in the real world?" The green clad boy asked. Carlitodorf turned to him with a silly grin.

"No, but it makes for a hell of a motive, huh?.!" TK fell over. Carlitodorf turned back towards the horizon. "In any case, it can only be called fate. ...That here I would again gather the three with the crests. ...That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder... That when Darkness, Light, and Hope come together, the Celestial Digimon would have no choice but to come down... The power of the Celestial Digimon... The Triforce! He who touches it will have whatever he desires granted!"

"Already, the crest of Light is mine..." He gave a glance at the unconscious Kari. His eyes then shifted towards TK. "All that remains..." TK's sword started to glow and the Triforce of Hope appeared on the back of his left hand.

Carlitodorf turned his body towards the other boy. He leaned forward and charged at TK. TK put up his mirror shield as the wizard appeared before him. Carlitodorf paused before punching him a few times. Left, then right, then left again! His attack knocked the Master Sword out of TK's grip. It landed just mere inches from Kari's head. Carlitodorf followed up with another right hook, knocking TK back a couple of feet. TK started to cough in pain.

"Do not fear. I will not kill you...yet." Carlitodorf said as he walked towards TK. "I only need the power that dwells within you." And with that, he picked up TK by his left hand.

"You won't get away with this..." TK groaned. Carlitodorf ignored him.

"Now! Let us put an end to this game!" All three of their left hands glowed with a golden energy. A gold triangle emerged from all of them and flew into the sky. With another golden glow, the triangles fused together to form the Triforce. Carlitodorf laughed evilly as he flung TK a few feet behind him.

"Celestial Digimon! Hear that which I desire!" He raised his left arm. "Expose this land to the rays of the sun once more! Let them burn forth! GIVE LOWRULE—no—THE DIGITAL WORLD TO ME!.!.!" He was about to touch the Triforce when he saw another tanned hand on it.

"The one who touches it will have whatever he wishes granted..." The arm that the hand belonged to was covered with a blue sleeve. Carlitodorf hissed. "That is what you said, right dude?" The arm belonged to King Davis of Lowrule!

DUM DUM DUMMMMMM!.!.!.!.!

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!.?.!.?.!.?.!.?.!" Carlitodorf roared.

"CELESTIAL DIGIMON OF THE TRIFORCE! HERE MY WISH!" Davis yelled. "Kari! I want Princess Kari to be mine!"

(Me: WHAT!.?.! THAT'S NOT IN THE SCRIPT!)

"Give us a future! Wash away this ancient land of Lowrule! Let a ray of peace shine on the future of the Digital World!.!.!" The Triforce started to glow brightly. Davis and Carlitodorf glared icily at each other. "And let our destinies finally be fulfilled... Carlos! May you drown with Lowrule!" The Triforce split into three separate entities again and flew into the sky.

"Heheheheheheheheheheh..." Carlitodorf laughed low. The barrier protecting Lowrule from drowning started to open. Water filled in columns.

"GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!" It started to rain on the tower as the wizard continued his evil laugh. TK stirred and awoke due to all the noise. He struggled to his feet as he saw Carlitodorf laugh like a maniac.

"You fool." Carlitodorf said. "A future...for you? Don't you know how the game ends? You'll be stuck here too!" He added another evil laugh as he saw Davis' terrified expression. "I may have lost the chance to rule the Digital World in this game, but at least I get to take one of you with me! HAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.!.!" TK looked back as he noticed Kari waking up. She walked up to TK with his sword in her hands.

"What are you laughing at, Carlos?.! You're insane!" She yelled.

"Kari, you're alright." TK said.

"Yeah. Sorry I overslept. I guess it's time to leave this place. We gotta get back to the world above! Back to the Digital World!" She paused. "And to spend time with my love, Davis." TK fell over.

"What!.?" TK got back up and Kari gave him his sword as Carlitodorf rose his arms up.

"Alright then. Allow me to show you..." He started. Two swords appeared in his hands. "Your future. Yes... Allow me to show you just what hope you have..." He faced TK with a murderous look. His eyes were bloodshot.

"See how much your precious Triforce is worth!.!.!" He yelled.

°Final Boss Battle! Carlitodorf!°

TK brought out his sword as he faced Carlitodorf.

"TK!" Kari called.

"Yeah?" TK asked as Kari walked up to him. She snatched his bow and light arrows.

"I'll cover you! Let's take him together!"

"Right!" TK nodded.

"No matter if two or a million faced me, I'll still win!" Carlitodorf yelled. He jumped at TK and swung his swords. TK rolled out of the way and slashed at Carlito, who just blocked with his left sword. He promptly hit TK with his right one.

"Ow!" TK yelled. Just then, a blur of gold whizzed past TK and struck Carlitodorf. Electricity coursed through his body. TK looked at Kari, who was getting another arrow ready.

"Get him before he recovers!" Kari yelled. TK lunged at his opponent and slashed him with his sword. Carlitodorf groaned in pain as he got up. He slashed at TK and scored a direct hit.

"Yes! Got him!" Carlitodorf cheered. TK looked really tired.

"That battle against Wormmon totally wiped me out. I'm done for if I'm not more careful." TK flipped backwards to dodge Carlitodorf's strike.

TK backed up a long distance to recover his strength. Carlitodorf saw through this though as he leaped into the air with his swords drawn. TK quickly sidestepped and tried for another slash. Carlitodorf skillfully blocked the strike. He would've hit TK again if it wasn't for Kari getting him with another light arrow. Carlitodorf hissed as TK slashed him again. Kari took the opportunity to make another hit. She pulled back the string.

"This is really annoying." Carlitodorf growled as the light arrow struck him. He ignored the electricity as he got up, much to Kari and TK's surprise. He jumped towards Kari and sheathed his left sword. He then brought his hand back and slapped her, knocking her out.

"Animal..." TK hissed with a cold glare.

"There. That's one annoyance taken care of." Carlito said as he brought out his left sword again. He turned to TK. "And now for the other one." He jumped again as TK held up his shield. TK blocked the attack and flipped backwards as Carlitodorf slashed at him.

As Carlitodorf was about to bring down his right sword, TK parried by rolling under the blade and doing an uppercut with his own sword. TK quickly slashed at Carlito as he recovered. Carlitodorf stood and tried for another slash. Again, TK rolled under the sword and slashed Carlitodorf's face. Kari woke up and readied the bow. She pulled back the string and let go, firing another light arrow. Carlitodorf was ready as he spin jumped into the air, dodging the piece of wood. Kari fired six more and Carlitodorf dodged them all by doing the Matrix.

"Damn! I love my Samurai Jacktion!" Carlitodorf laughed.

"TK! Ya gotta distract him!" Kari yelled.

"How?" TK asked.

"I don't know, but think of something! I know! I'll aim for you and you hold up your shield. Got it?"

"Yeah." TK nodded. Just then, Carlitodorf slashed TK hard! His body turned gray as he slumped to the ground. Kari gasped.

"Oh no..." She buried her face in her hands.

"I… did it?" Carlitodorf said with shock. He looked over the lifeless body. He got a grin. "I did it! I defeated TK! That means I get to rule over the Digital World! GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.!.!.!" He laughed evilly.

"Poor TK..." Kari sobbed. Carlitodorf laughed some more before he noticed a pink light out of the corner of his eye. He turned towards TK and gasped. A pink light was floating around him. The color started to return to TK as he stood.

"NO! I was so close!" Carlitodorf yelled. Kari looked up and gasped.

"TK! You're ok!" She yelled.

"Hold it! I thought I said extra lives aren't allowed!" Carlitodorf protested. "Why did he get a fairy?.!"

(Me: Fairies count as items, so he's not doing anything wrong.)

"Wow. Good thing I saved that fairy I got at Forest Haven." TK sighed.

"I'm not going to lose!.!.!" Carlitodorf roared as he charged towards TK. At the last second, TK jumped up, flipped and brought his sword down. Carlitodorf's eyes widened in terror as the camera whited out.

°CRASH!°

That was the sound of the jewel on Carlitodorf's head breaking. TK had plunged his sword deep into the boy's skull. Carlitodorf's eyes were still wide as saucers as he dropped his swords. A small chuckle escaped his throat.

"Heh...heh... The wind is...blowing..." TK jumped off as Carlitodorf's form turned to stone from the bottom. Right before he fully turned to stone, an evil grin appeared on his face.

"It's over..." TK sighed. He started to fall.

"TK!.!.!" Kari yelled as she ran to him. She held him up as Davis walked up to them.

"Guys! You did it!" He cheered. He then got a sullen look on him as a sad piano song played. "Listen. While you were fighting Carlos, I looked over my script. It turns out that I DO have to stay here." TK and Kari gasped.

"Wait! Don't follow the script!" Kari yelled. "How can I live without you?.!" TK sweatdropped.

'What the hell did I miss while I was out?' He thought.

"I'm sorry Kari. It's... out of my hands. Farewell." Davis said. The last of the barrier disappeared and water surrounded all of them.

TK closed his eyes, but quickly reopened them as he noticed he wasn't wet and that he can breathe. He and Kari were wrapped in a clear barrier, protecting them from drowning. The current took TK up towards the surface, but Kari fought the current. She swam towards the one she loved. Davis, who wasn't protected by a barrier, held his hand towards Kari's. They were about to reach each other when Davis put his hand down.

"DAVIS!.!.!.!" Kari yelled as she floated away, followed by a purple coin.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Kari, now in her Ketra form, was floating on the surface of the ocean with TK by her side. She opened her eyes and TK followed suit.

"Well, we did it." TK said.

"Yeah, but what about Davis!.? Not to mention we're stuck in the middle of nowhere!" Ketra sobbed.

"Ahoy there!" Hawkmon's voice filled the air. TK and Kari looked up and saw the digimon floating. Ketra looked back and gasped. Her pirate ship was there. The pirate digimon waved. Ketra looked even happier as she saw Gatomon on the crow's nest. She was waving as well. TK noticed that Cody and Yolei were on the ship as well. He turned to Ketra.

"We're safe!" Ketra yelled as she and TK waved at the ship. TK then saw something glowing in front of him. It was the purple coin from earlier.

"What's that?" TK asked as he swam forward. He grabbed the coin. On it was the engraving of a tornado.

"Congrats! You got the Medallion of the Winds!" The voice said. "This proves that you used the power of the winds to defeat your opponents. You got all seven medallions! Proceed to the final game."

"I thought for sure we had to get eight medallions." TK said as he and everybody else returned to their normal forms. Patamon, Veemon, and Armadillomon appeared on the pirate ship. Hawkmon armor digivolved to Halsemon and lifted TK & Kari onto the ship.

"Come on. Let's get out of here." Yolei said.

"But what happened to Davis and Carlos?" Cody asked. TK and Kari hung their heads low.

"They're both gone. I destroyed Carlos." TK said.

"And Davis, he drowned!" Kari sobbed.

"Who said I drowned!.?" A voice asked. Kari looked up and a wide grin appeared on her face.

"Davis! But how?.!"

"I just disappeared and arrived here." He answered. Kari ran up to him and embraced him tightly. Everybody else raised an eyebrow.

"What's with the hugging?" Cody asked TK, who shrugged.

"Beats me." He said.

"Well, let's get out of this game!" Yolei yelled.

"Right." Everybody else said. Just then, everything became dark as a column of water rose up out of the sea in front of them.

"What's that?.!" The digimon yelled. The water went down, revealing the Koopa Clown Car floating in the air. Carlos, in his normal form, was seen with a worn out Wormmon. They were both slumped over the side of the floating vehicle and breathing heavily.

"Oh man. That was close." Carlos groaned with a cough.

"Yeah. We almost didn't make it, Carlos." Wormmon replied.

"HOW DID YOU TWO SURVIVE!.?.!.?.!.?.!.?.!.?.!" The good guys yelled. Carlos & Wormmon looked down at the ship. Carlos made the Koopa Clown Car float down to the ship.

"Ahhh… What a tale that is. Here's what happened:"

°°Flashback°°

(A/N: "°This format°" means Carlos is talking)

°CRASH!°

"°You digibrat defeated me in that battle by driving your idiotic sword halfway into my head!°" The camera shows Carlitodorf slowly turning to stone.

'No! What'll I do!.?' He thought. He reached into his left sleeve and pulled out a small device with a red button on it. 'This is…'

°°Flashback in a flashback (Cool, huh?)°°

"I better get going then." Carlos said.

"Wait. You'll need this." I handed Carlos a device with a red button on it. The brunet raised an eyebrow at me.

"What's this?"

"This is a soul transference device." I explained. "You can use it if you are in immediate danger. It'll release you from your game form."

°°End flashback in a flashback°°

"°I pulled out the soul transference device the boss gave me.°"

'This had better work.' Carlitodorf thought. He pressed the button just as his arms turned to stone.

"°Unknown to you fools, I got out of that form before I was destroyed.°"

Carlos popped out of the statue as an invisible ghost. He saw Davis and the others talking before the water surrounded them. Carlos then flew into the castle, rescued Wormmon, who was struggling out of the puppet robot he was in, and went to the roof. Carlos got out a remote and the center of the roof opened, revealing the Koopa Clown Car. Carlos and Wormmon hopped in. The propeller under the car turned on and it floated to the surface.

°°End Flashback°°

"You may have defeated me, but I still have one chance left to claim victory!" Carlos yelled. He made the clown car dive down towards the ship. He grabbed Kari and put her in the clown car. Wormmon used his Sticky Net attack to tie up Kari.

"HELP!" She yelled.

"Let her go!" The good guys yelled.

"GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.!.! You gotta beat me in the last game in order save her!" Carlos laughed as he, Kari, and Wormmon disappeared in a flash of darkness.

"Let's go guys!" TK yelled as they disappeared in flashes of white.

In the Dark Carrier…

°SMASH!°

The dark door fell on the floor as Carlos flew out. The Koopa Clown Car flew up to the golden door. Carlos held up his D-3.

"Golden Door! Open by my royal command!" He yelled. The D-3 glowed brightly and the gold door creaked open as our heroes emerged from the dark door. "GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.!.!.!" The Koopa Clown Car flew in the door. The gold door slammed shut before TK and the others even reached it. Davis ran up to the door and bashed it with his fist.

"Let us in, Carlos!"

"Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!.!.!" Carlos' voice was heard on the other side. There was a hint of laughter in his voice.

"How do we get in?" TK asked.

"Duh! Pull the handle!" Yolei yelled as she grabbed onto the golden door's handles and pulled with a grunt. The door wouldn't budge though. "Little help here?" The other humans and digimon held on to Yolei and each other as they pulled. Despite their combined strength, the door still wouldn't open.

"We're approaching this from the wrong angle." Cody said as he inspected the side of the door. "Come quick! I found something!" Everybody else ran up to him.

"What is it?" TK asked.

"Look at this." Cody replied. Everybody looked at where he pointed at. There was a circular slot there. Inside the slot was a winged shoe; the symbol of the Medallion of Speed. "Davis, do you still have your medallions?"

"Yeah." Davis replied, taking out the Medallions of Speed, Battles, and Parties.

"Put the Speed one there." Cody pointed at the slot. Davis put the Medallion of Speed inside the slot. It glowed brightly. Cody noticed six more slots around the one that was glowing. Inside each was the symbol of their respective medallion.

"So that's what the medallions are for." Yolei said. "We have to use those to get inside." TK took out the Medallions of Flight, Magic, and Winds. Cody took out the Medallion of Dreams.

"Come on! Let's fill these holes!" Davis yelled. The Digi-Destined got to filling the slots. In order, going clockwise, the Medallions of Flight, Battles, Parties, Dreams, Magic, and Winds were placed. Each Medallion glowed a rainbow of colors. The gold door glowed in the same manner as it opened.

"Let's do it." TK said to his friends. The other kids and their digimon nodded.

"Right." They bravely walked through the door. The gold door creaked and closed with a slam.

To be continued…

Mid-chapter Conversation

Part One

"Wow. You skipped a whole game." Carlos started sarcastically. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Shut up. At least I didn't kill myself writing commentary for the game." I retorted, turning to the camera. "Anyway, what will our heroes face inside the mysterious golden door that's been around for the past six chapters? Find out in Part Two!"
