'Final Force: The Last Battle' Chapter 2; "Goodbyes":
(Author's Notes on bottom)
"Ohhhh….what happened?" WarMetalSamamon asks as he begins to regain consciousness. He holds his head in dizziness and shakes off the light-headedness. As he sits up in bed, he notices MysticalFlamingamon and Arukenimon sitting at a table not too far away. "I feel like I got hit by a fleet of Mammothmon!" he mutters as he stands to his feet shakily.
"You had a nervous breakdown I'm afraid…" MysticalFlamingamon announces as he floats over to him, "Do you feel alright?" WarMetalSamamon suddenly grins evilly, "Oh yes, I feel perfect…" he mutters as he begins to laugh insanely.
Arukenimon stands from her chair and looks at MysticalFlamingamon, "Are you sure that he's alright?" "Honestly, no…" he admits sadly, "…but what choice do we have. He's the only one who can defeat MetalSamamon…even if he's not alright." WarMetalSamamon turns to them and grins wildly, "Whatever do you mean! I'm perfectly alright…I can see clearly now, everything makes perfect sense to me!" he laughs and grabs MysticalFlamingamon's shoulders, "We have much to do my friend…would you please show me that screen with all of the Digimon again?" MysticalFlamingamon gives him a wary smile, "Sure…let's go; shall we?"
They walk back into the room and they all hear a noise like someone sawing wooden logs. "Oh…that explains it." MysticalFlamingamon states as he points towards Digivolvermon who is sleeping in a chair. Arukenimon goes back to her station, and a wall comes down to separate the two areas, leaving WarMetalSamamon and MysticalFlamingamon alone.
"So, WarMetalSamamon, take a look at this list again…" MysticalFlamingamon states as he brings up the screen with the numerous Digimon again, "Which ones do you like?"
"So many lovely choices…" WarMetalSamamon asks as he examines each picture one by one. WarMetalSamamon grins insanely, "Look out MS…you're going down!"
"It's totally up to you who you choose." MysticalFlamingamon replies as he waits patiently for him to decide. WarMetalSamamon looks at the screen with wonder, "It's been so long since I was here…I've forgotten who most of these Digimon are…" he explains sadly. "It's O.K., just tell me who you like and I'll explain them to you." MysticalFlamingamon states with reassurance. "Alright then…" WarMetalSamamon nods and smiles a little, but shows no true happiness.
He points to one near the top left corner, "Who is that?" "That is GigaSeaDramon…he is a cyborg type Digimon, with tremendous size and power…he is also a Mega level Digimon." MysticalFlamingamon explains. "He's perfect…He shall be one of the heralds." WarMetalSamamon clenches his fists in happiness and points at another mon. "Who is that one?" he asks. "That is ChaosGallantmon…he is a powerful Digimon from the past…he can create violent tremors and destroy buildings without even touching them! He is a Mega level Digimon." MysticalFlamingamon explains coolly. "Ah yes, another fine addition…" WarMetalSamamon states as he points to another Digimon, "And what about this one?" "That is DarkLillymon…she is almost the exact same as her nicer form of Lillymon, except this version has been corrupted and made evil…she is an Ultimate level Digimon." MysticalFlamingamon announces. "Excellent…she is too perfect! Nothing like using MetalSamamon's past against him…" WarMetalSamamon laughs insanely.
"Who's next?" MysticalFlamingamon asks him. He turns to face him; "I'm deciding…" he turns back to the screen and points at the next one, "How about that one?" "That is SkullAngemon…very nice choice." MysticalFlamingamon explains, "He's a virus type Digimon that was accidentally created during the Time Wars…he's very powerful and unpredictable…he's also Mega level." "Yes…how many is that now, 4?" WarMetalSamamon asks as he continues searching, "I still 9 more then; so how about that one?" he points to another Digimon. "That is Raijinmon. He is a Mega level Android Virus type Digimon with plenty of power and strength. Some say that he can control thunder and lightning even!" MysticalFlamingamon explains. "Interesting…I'll use him as well." WarMetalSamamon smiles.
"And what of that one over there?" WarMetalSamamon asks as he points towards the far end of the screen. "Oh…that is DeathMyotismon…I wouldn't choose him if I were you…" MysticalFlamingamon explains hesitantly. This gets WarMetalSamamon's attention, and he looks over at him with great suspicion, "And why is that?" "Let's just say that he's really powerful and pure evil. He is probably one of the darkest Digimon ever created; and his only objective is to destroy everyone without mercy…I'm not sure if you could control him." MysticalFlamingamon admits.
"WHAT!" WarMetalSamamon screams with a crazed look in his eyes. "Are you saying that I don't know what I'm doing! Is that what you're trying to imply, you long necked freak!" His hands arch out in front of him and he shakes with insanity. "You don't know me, scum! I am invincible! I AM POWER!" He turns around and points back at the screen, "He shall be mine!"
"Alright…it's your decision after all…" MysticalFlamingamon floats back to the computer and keeps his distance from him. "Hmm…I see no others here that meet my criteria…" he turns to MysticalFlamingamon, "Do you have any more choices?" "Well, not really, unless you include the…" MysticalFlamingamon begins. "The what!" WarMetalSamamon asks suspiciously. "Never mind…those are too powerful. You can't use them." MysticalFlamingamon states defiantly. "Why don't you want me to use powerful Digimon?" WarMetalSamamon asks him. "Unlike you, I'm actually concerned for your well being…I don't want you to die!" MysticalFlamingamon admits solemnly, "You are our last hope against MetalSamamon, and if your own heralds kill you; who will be able to defeat him? No one!"
"Do not fear my little friend; for I have a new outlook on life now. I see things that no one else can see, and I understand things that others couldn't even begin to comprehend!" WarMetalSamamon explains with an insane grin, "Believe me…you have no concept of what I have in mind for my former partner…" MysticalFlamingamon looks away sadly, if you say so…" He's obviously hurt by what WarMetalSamamon is becoming, but decides not to push his high-strung emotions any further.
"Show me these 'other' Digimon…" WarMetalSamamon demands. "As you command…" MysticalFlamingamon types a few keys and a new screen pops up, "These are the X Digimon…they are from a future time. You remember them, don't you?" MysticalFlamingamon asks him. "Indeed…but I had almost forgotten about them; however I must use them!" He smiles and points to one of the Digimon,"Who is this one?" "That, WarMetalSamamon, is Chaosdramon X. He is a Mega Machine Digimon with two massive cannons and extremely powerful…he's also a virus type." MysticalFlamingamon states. "Excellent…I like these X Digimon…I can't believe that I didn't recall these before!" WarMetalSamamon points to another one, "How about him?" MysticalFlamingamon sighs, "That's Dynasmon X. Although he was a force of good, he was corrupted by DeathMyotismon during the Time Wars and now he fights those he once helped. He is a Mega Level Knight type Digimon." "Good…he will suffice."
WarMetalSamamon chooses another Digimon from the screen, "This one? Who is this?" "That is Ebemon X…he's an alien virus type Digimon. Not too much is known about him other than he a Mega level and hates everyone he meets, no matter who they are. He is an opportunist; and will kill anyone given the right situation." MysticalFlamingamon notes. "Great…another fine addition. And this one here?" WarMetalSamamon asks as he points at another Digimon. "That one is Armageddemon X…he is an unstable Digimon who has a vile temper and tons of rage. He has had many victories against noble good Digimon in his past." MysticalFlamingamon smiles a little in hopes of impressing WarMetalSamamon. "Nice…he will do." He comments and smiles at MysticalFlamingamon lightly.
"This one here…who is this?" he asks. "That is WarGrowlmon X…he's an Ultimate level virus type Digimon." MysticalFlamingamon explains. WarMetalSamamon shakes his head, "Yes…another good warrior. How about this one over here?" MysticalFlamingamon looks to where he's pointing, "That one right there is BlackWarGreymon X…he's a menacing Mega level Digimon with a terrible disposition and worse rage. He can destroy entire cities in no time flat!" "Good…he might come in handy then." WarMetalSamamon states excitedly with a bit of insanity in his voice.
"Well then, I need just one more…" he begins as he carefully looks over the screen as the many choices, "Any suggestions?" "I'd say go for someone no one would expect…someone that will be a great final addition to this group." MysticalFlamingamon states happily. "Agreed." WarMetalSamamon scans across the screen until he sees the one he wants, "Him!"
"Oh, nice choice indeed! That's ReaperOmnimon X! If memory serves me correctly; he's only been seen once before; and he killed almost everyone except for a few far away Digimon who happened to witness his destruction."
"Excellent; that's the 13 heralds of evil I need…now to the next step!" WarMetalSamamon announces. "I shall send out my messengers to alert these Digimon that you have chosen…some of them may not like taking orders from you, you do realize?" MysticalFlamingamon asks. "I shall deal with them when the time comes…In the meantime have them meet me in my realm; there is much planning I need to do…" WarMetalSamamon smiles wickedly and walks down the hall towards the exit. "You're going to need more luck than you realize I'm afraid…" MysticalFlamingamon mutters as he watches him leave the building.
Outside the Sun is shining, and various Digimon laugh and play. WarMetalSamamon sighs as he walks around the area one last time. "It's been so long…I miss this place dearly." He mutters as he watches a group of SnowBotamon and Punimon hop by happily, laughing and giggling. He sighs as he walks on, and walks over to a nearby lake. "So, this is my destiny…to fight my former friend and partner MetalSamamon." He asks his refelction solemnly. "It's not right what he did to me…I was once like those little guys back there; so happy and full of life; but now…" he looks at his face in the ripples of the water, "Now I've become something…else. Something worse." He sits down on a rock and picks up a smaller rock and skips it across the surface of the water. "There must be some greater purpose to life…something I'm missing…" he looks sadly at the shattered Digimon in the reflection, and teardrops hit the surface; breaking up his reflection. "I just don't understand; I could have been happy, I could have been loved…" He cries a little, "I should have loved. This is not how Digimon are supposed to be treated!" He suddenly stands up and grabs a shotgun from his hip and blasts away at the rock he was sitting on! "Damn you MetalSamamon! DAMN YOU! You can't do this to me! I will not be destroyed by my own emotions! I HATE YOU!" He continues shooting into the ground; having destroyed the rock, until he runs out of ammo and tosses the gun into the lake.
He collapses to the ground and starts to cry again, "Oh why! Why did he have to hurt me so! I loved him so much; he was my best friend! WHY!" He screams to the air, but no one answers. Just then something touches his shoulder, and he turns to see one of MysticalFlamingamon's heads upon his shoulder. "GET OUT OF HERE!" He yells as he flings MysticalFlamingamon's head-hand off of him and he quickly rises to his feet. "I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN! ME! NO ONE ELSE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" He shouts, and MysticalFlamingamon's main head sinks to his chest. "I understand, but it is you who does not." He mutters quietly as he begins to float away, when he hears footsteps behind him.
He turns to see WarMetalSamamon approaching him, "MysticalFlamingamon, I need you to do something for me…" he asks in a softer tone. "Sure, what is it?" MysticalFlamingamon asks him. "Let's go back inside; I'll tell you there." WarMetalSamamon states as he walks back side by side with MysticalFlaminamon.
Once inside they see Arukenimon and Digivolvermon standing at the doors. "We heard some yelling; what happened?" she asks them. "It's alright…it was nothing." MysticalFlamingamon assures her as they go down the hall towards the main control room. "Sure…O.K.!" Digivolvermon laughs and follows the others.
Inside the room, WarMetalSamamon reaches into one of his pockets and pulls out the Digivice. He points it at a computer screen, and calls out, "DIGI-PORT OPEN!" A bright flash of white light echoes out across the room and they all see a hazy view of the hell that WarMetalSamamon had come out of. "Listen carefully MysticalFlamingamon…I need you to do something very important for me…" he states as he hands the Digivice to him, "I need you to hold onto this for me." "WHAT! Why?" MysticalFlamingamon asks dumbfoundly. "Do not question my reasons…it's the safest way. It's the only way I can make sure that MetalSamamon doesn't get it back." WarMetalSamamon states sadly and holds back his tears.
"Please don't leave us!" Arukenimon shouts as she races up to him. WarMetalSamamon embraces her tightly in his arms, and holds her close. He feels the tears from her drop onto his shoulder and run down his back slowly, "Please don't cry…I love you; and nothing's going to ever change that." He stands her up as he wipes her eyes, "But I can't stay here; nor can you come with me. I have to do this; it's the only way to make sure that MetalSamamon is destroyed for good…" he smiles a little as he wipes the tears away from her eyes gently with his fingers, "But I will come back; when the battle is over I will return. I've input coordinates for the realm I'm going to into the Digivice, and when MetalSamamon is defeated; I will send a signal to the Digivice; and a portal will open in my realm, and I will be able to come back," he stares into her eyes softly, "And then we can be together again."
"Ah, cut the mushy stuff and just leave already!" Digivolvermon buts in, "Do you think that MetalSamamon is going to wait for you while you waste your time with silly goodbyes?" "No…I suppose you're right…" he turns towards the portal, and steps up on a chair to reach for the portal, "Goodbye everyone. Wish me luck!" And with that, he jumped into the portal, and the portal closed up behind him.
The room became darker, and MysticalFlamingamon looked down at the Digivice in his hand, "History is repeating itself again…" he mutters as he stares at the blank, dead computer screen that WarMetalSamamon left out of, "Good luck WarMetalSamamon; may you not make the same mistakes your partner did."

Will WarMetalSamamon ever return? And will the 13 heralds he picked out be enough? What other surprises does he have in mind? And is he still sane? Watch out for the next chapter when the Transformers make their debut!
