Kari came home to a great reception from the digidestined, especially Davis, who tried to take some credit for getting there so quickly after Yolei had escaped from the Digital World and told them about the Dark Master coming through the portal.
Tai's digiegg hatched a few days later and soon Agumon was back to his old self again.
TK and Declan's arms healed after a few weeks and TK seemed pretty keen on getting his hands on a firearm again.
Emma went back home to Ireland with Declan, to find the Patrick's school partially rebuilt and the O'Reillyfamily had moved away. She soon found out why.
There was a small memorial just outside the school with the names of all the students and staff who were killed in the 'terrorist attack'. Patrick and Declan's names were both on it.
Emma found her family, who greeted her home with open arms. Declan moved in with her temporarily, but she always wondered if Patrick had survived the Terra explosion…
The Digital City was nothing more than rubble now.
Patrick slowly crawled out from under a chunk of concrete and looked around, "Didn't see that one coming, huh?" he shouted, and then started to stumble in the direction he saw the Dark Master in last time.
Eventually, Patrick found him, wedged under a piece of reinforced concrete. He leaned against the slab and looked down at the fallen man, "If you aren't dead already, you really are invincible!"
Then he noticed blood seeping out from under the concrete.
His eyes were open.
His mouth was open.
He was staring into the sky.
One of the reinforcement bars was pieced right through his chest.
Patrick smiled, "Rest in peace…scumbag."
Stumbling off into the ruins of the city, he started to sing random songs to himself.
Soon after the incident, Declan went missing. That same day, Izzy's laptop crashed. When it came back online, all the data on Time Travel was gone and replaced with a simple txt file:
Hey Izzy, just need to borrow this time travel stuff, Decky and I'll be back soon.
By the way, get a better firewall. I expected more of a challenge.
To be continued...
And thats it! The Crest of Rage is finally DONE! It took me...well would you look at that...exactly one year! Sweet!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it...and remember to review because the summer holidays are on the horizon and I've got an idea for a sequel...stay tuned!
