It was a hard battle, but Davis was able to break himself free from the prison Lineer placed himself in as he ripped apart Dragonic Hell. Such an act was suppose to kill him, but Davis survived.

"Davis!" Kari called out.

"Are you all right?" Veemon asked.

"Are you kidding?! That hurt like hell!" Davis said with his body having some injuries. "I guess I deserved it after how I was acting."

"I can't believe he's alive. He should be dead after ripping apart the I.S. like that." Harina said. "Still, you're not out of the woods yet. When are you going to face the facts that you just can't win. Oh well. I'll just have to kill you all myself."

"Kari, Davis needs DRagonic Heaven! Throw it to him!" Wade called out.

"Right!" Kari said as she grabbed the gauntlet and tossed it over to Davis, but Harina stood in its way.

"Goodie! I finally get to rip that dumb I.S." Harina said as she readied her scythe. She was about to destroy it, but Veemon was able to move fast enough and grabbed it before she could shred it with him flipping to avoid the scythe.

"I don't think so." Veemon said as he jumped off from Harina's head.

"Don't hop scotch me." Harina said.

"Davis, here!" Veemon shouted as he tossed the I.S. to him. Davis held out his arm and placed it right inside the I.S. Davis didn't wait around as he activated it. Everyone was happy to have the real Davis back as he stood in a shining light that brought upon his rebirth, but underneath that light is one of anger.

"Harina!" Davis growled.

"Uh oh. I think I'm in trouble." Harina said.

"You're damn right." Davis said. "Messing with my head was bad enough. Having me attack and kill my friends is far worse. I've just about had it with you guys messing with people's heads like that."

"But people are becoming happy and the world is becoming peaceful. Isn't that what matters?" Harina said.

"Here's what's going to make me happy!" Davis shouted as he brought out Sutapisa and tried to strike her, but Harina was doing her best to hold his sword back. "What you call peace and happiness is all based on lies. You're just trying to disguise the fact that you're using people to power those dumb machines."

"But it makes you happy. You can have everything you ever wanted in your fantasies." Harina said.

"I have everything I need." Davis said. "I've got people that care about me. Having fantasies become reality is a whole lot better. Maybe every one of them can't come true, but as long as I have people in my life that care about me, I don't give a care about that."

"You mean those friends that attacked you?" Harina said.

"Yeah. They're some of the greatest friends I had. They saw what was really happening to me and brought me back to my senses." Davis said. "You and Lineer saw I was upset and distressed and used that for you own sick advantage. My friends wanted to actually help me and they risked their lives to do it. I don't know if I deserve people like that, but there's no way in hell am I going to lose them!" Davis drove his knee against her and pushed her back.

"You tell her!" Veemon said.

"That's right!" Ichika said. "We all risked ourselves to help Davis. When someone is hurting, a friend comes and helps them. That's what friends do and that's exactly what we all did."

"Oh give me a break." Harina said as she swung her scythe at Davis, but Davis avoided it. "All this icky talk about friends….eck. I think I'm going to be sick." The two clashed weapons again.

"Who cares what you think? You don't even know what friends are." Davis said.

"So what? It doesn't change a thing." Harina said as she pushed his sword out of the way and moved back. She charged right at him again. "Kiss all your friends goodbye!" She was about to finish him, but Davis grabbed her by the arms and drove his knee into her gut and bashed his head against hers. When Davis released her, he gave her a powerful kick and sent her out over the water with her falling in.

"Still don't get it?" Davis said. Harina pulled herself together and flew out of the water.

"You can't beat me that easily. I say this fight is just about over." Harina said. Suddenly, chills went down her spine as it felt like something was coming up from behind her.

"Yeah. For you." Harina was stabbed right through her back and a large blade came out of her. Harina turned around and saw Marinda flying right behind her.

"What?! I thought your Tartarus ran out of power when Davis tossed you down." Harina said.

"I only pretended that happen for a moment like this." Marinda said. "It was to catch you off guard and it worked. This is where it ends for you, Harina." Marinda pulled her sword out and Harina dropped out of the sky and back into the water. Orochi weighed her down and Harina sank deeper and deeper.

'I can't believe this is how I really die.' Harina thought. She looked back and saw how she had nothing and soon had so much all because of Lineer. 'Oh well. It was fun. They can fight all they want to, but they'll never defeat Lineer.' Leaving the rest to the woman that saved her, Harina accepted her death. Davis walked over to the boat's edge and looked down where Harina fell.

"Is she really gone?" Davis questioned.

"She is." Marinda said as she landed near him. "She won't be a problem to us anymore."

"Davis!" Lita said and he turned to all of them. They were happy Davis was back and Davis was happy to be back.

…

Lineer

Lineer stayed in the cozy of I.S. Academy. As she continued to look over her progress, she received some sort of signal and it was telling her she lost Davis and Harina.

"This is certainly interesting." Lineer said. "Harina has actually been defeated and Davis is free. These insects are starting to become an annoyance. They think they can come up to my home and just wreck my property." Lineer made her way outside and faced the water. "I'm getting bored with Japan. Most of it has been taken over. I think it's about time to move to the rest of world." She snapped her fingers and something began to rise out of the water. Something large. It floated into the sky and looked like a giant carrier. "Time to bring the rest of the world in bliss."

…

The Ship

As the setting sun grazed the water, too much time was lost. The ship was anchored down the moment and they were working on any repairs. They're using this opportunity to plan their next move.

"Harina might have been defeated, but defeating Lineer won't be as easy." Marinda said. "She'll be a real challenge."

"Hold on." Davis said with Marinda having her back to him. "I'm suppose to believe you're actually fighting on the same side as us now? I don't think so. You did a lot of damage to a lot of people."

"Stop it, Davis. Marinda helped us out and she's willing to help us. Isn't that enough for you to see we're on the same side?" Ichika said.

"Yeah. It's just like with Ken or Fria." Veemon said.

"No it isn't." Davis said. "Ken and Fria didn't know any better. She did. You can't expect me to just forgive and forget the horrible things she did and she had to do a lot more." Marinda sighed with some annoyance.

"What do you want from me?" Marinda said.

"Let me knock you a good one. How things go from there will tell me all I need to know." Davis said.

"Davis, she's your own sister." Kari said.

"I don't care." Davis said. Marinda could tell Davis wasn't going to drop this.

"Very well." Marinda said as she turned to him. "Give me your best shot and I will show you that I have what it takes." Davis removed his I.S. since he wants to do this with his bare hand and he is right handed. Davis readied himself and things were getting tense in this situation. Davis charged right at her and threw his fist at her. It connected with her face and it was a hard hit, but Marinda didn't even move an inch, but had a little blood flow from her mouth.

"He really hit her!" Houki said.

"She really took it!" Serene said. Davis pulled away and the two of them just stood there.

"Did you get what you were looking for?" Marinda asked as she cleaned up her face. "I understand that you would be hesitant for us to fight together. I wanted to defeat our mother. I thought I could do that by using her methods against her, like the analogy: fight fire with fire. I did somethings I'm not proud of, but I had to keep my resolve as strong as steel. I hardened my heart away to avoid feeling the guilt. I thought my cause would justify my actions. What a fool I was. I never opened up and I never learned to trust anyone. Due to that, I couldn't gather allies to aid me. It all came to me on my failed to defeat her last time. I didn't realize how beautiful this world was until I saw this devastation begin. Now I want to protect this world. If you still can't find it in your heart to forgive me, I will accept any punishment you deem fit, but it has to wait until this is all over. So please, let us fight alongside each other. No. I suppose the more accurate way to say this is let me fight alongside you." Marinda bowed to him as she asked for forgiveness. No more acting like a queen feeling she was superior. Now, she's another fighter asking for a chance to fight on the right side.

"Yeah. That told me everything I needed." Davis said and Marinda lifted herself up. "I wanted to see if you really wanted to fight with us, but I also needed to see if I had what it takes to keep fighting. I was so confused about everything when I heard the truth of my birth. When Lineer trapped me in that little fantasy world, it felt like it all disappeared. That's how she trapped me so easily. You held strong and I put a lot of power behind that fist. I know I can't do this myself, but I still have the strength to fight. So if you're really going to fight with us, let's fight together." The hatchet has been buried and the two separated siblings have finally been reunited.

"Nice to see you all made up." Wade said as he came over. "Everyone, get some rest and work on bringing your I.S. units back to fighting shape. We'll have to try and reach Lineer in the morning." Everyone understood for tomorrow might the final day of this nightmare for them.

…

Davis

Night soon came rolling around. As everyone else was getting themselves ready for the big battle, Davis hanged back at the back of the boat and just stared at the ocean.

"There you are." Davis turned around and saw Kari there.

"Hey, Kari." Davis said.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready and resting? Your body must be hurting after you ripped that machine off your body." Kari said. "Are you sure you want to go into this fight?"

"I don't have much of a choice." Davis said. "This is my actual mother we're talking about and she needs a few kicks in the head to get it on right."

"I'm just glad you're back to your old self." Kari said. "You had me pretty worried during that month you were in a coma. You also gave me a good scare just now when you went on a rampage like that."

"Sorry about that, but it wasn't my fault." Davis said. "My own mother actually messed with me. I didn't know what to think."

"What about punching your long lost twin sister?" Kari said with a smug look. Davis didn't know what to say about this. "Hahah. Same old Davis. Even though you switched to an all-girl school, you haven't really changed at all."

"Of course. I'm one of a kind." Davis said as they both shared a laugh. As the two of them were talking, Davis' classmates watched the two of them and the five of them were starting to get a little jealous.

"So what was it like going to a school like this I.S. Academy?" Kari asked. "I've wanted to hear about it from you personally."

"Crazy. I first thought it would be like paradise. All the girls were real cute to say the least." Davis said. "You probably saw that by seeing Lita and the others and I personally think they're among the better looking." Hearing he thinks they're like that caused them to blush. "Then, it went from one thing to the next. Hitting me for no reason and a whole bunch of other stuff. Laura was the scariest. Yikes."

"Oh my. I guess it was a good thing you had Ichika." Kari said. "You probably never guessed that your entire life was turned around so much when you switched schools. When people switch schools, they don't find out the truth of their birth or prepare themselves for life or death battles."

"I guess not." Davis laughed, but got serious when he realized something. "Kari, what are you even doing here? I've noticed you don't have Gatomon with you and you don't know how to pilot an I.S. unit."

"What do you mean by that? I came here for you. Isn't that obvious?" Kari said.

"For me?!" Davis said as he didn't think Kari would actually do such things just for him.

"Of course. I just said I was worried about you." Kari said. "You really haven't changed all that much."

"Sorry. You just surprised me for a second." Davis said. "I didn't think you come all this way and nothing to fight with just so you could see me."

"Why wouldn't I?" Kari questioned.

"Well…" Davis didn't really know how to answer that either. "It's just that…."

"Because you didn't think I cared about you that much?" Kari said and caught Davis' attention and saw her face was turning a little red. "Davis, I'm not naïve. Did you think I really haven't noticed the way you think about me?"

"You….You knew?" Davis said with his face turning red from embarrassment. "But it seemed like nothing was changing between us after all this time."

"I'll be honest. I didn't think that much of it." Kari said. "At least, not until you actually left for all those months. Yolei made a few comments on how you would move on from me. The more I thought about it, the more I didn't like it. The more you weren't around, the more I missed you no matter how annoying those advances of you were. I guess it's true what they say. You really don't know what you have until it's gone."

"Kari….I….I don't know what to say." Davis said.

"Perhaps how about doing something instead." Kari said as she reached for his face and pulled him closer with her kissing him. Davis was surprised, but he soon wrapped his arms around her. Seeing a picture like this caused the girls to scream. It interrupted their moment, but when they looked towards them, the girls hid quickly and covered each other's mouths. As sad as this was for them, they don't want to wreck something that Davis always wanted. They had hope for themselves, but it is hard to compete with old friends sometimes.

"All hands on deck!" Wade called out. "We've just received word about something you all should see."

"We better go." Kari said and Davis agreed. As Kari went on ahead, Davis danced around in a little victory. All of them gathered on the observation deck where Kanzashi found something.

"I hacked into to some satellite footage and look what I found." Kanzashi said as she showed images of the flying carrier Lineer has.

"What is that thing?" Houki asked.

"It's another one of my mother's creations." Marinda said. "That carrier is like a flying factory. In truth, it's actually used for the production of the Sensationals. She must be getting ready to spread this chaos to the rest of the world."

"So we don't have any time to lose." Wade said. "We have to strike her now before she heads out to the open ocean."

"But how?" Cecilia asked.

"The first step would be to destroy that flying factory. The second is to stop all those robots in their tracks. Thanks to Marinda, we might have found a way to get them all at once." Wade said.

"You see, a transmitter is used that sends a signal that allows the Sensationals to work." Marinda said. "It sends the signal to the sky and reflects off satellites that surround the planet. If we can destroy it, they all won't know how to operate and can free all the humans."

"I know you all needed this time to rest, but now there is no time for that." Chifuyu said. "Lineer will be waiting for us as well. So here's the plan. Kioya and Motomiya will go ahead and create an opening while the rest of us destroy the factory and the transmitter. We don't have a moment to waste! Time to move out!"

"Yes ma'am!" All of them said.

"I feel like I'm back in class with her barking orders like that." Davis said.

"Are you ready to go?" Marinda asked.

"Yeah. What about you?" Davis said.

"I don't have a choice." Marinda said.

"What are we waiting for?" Davis said. Both of them moved to the front of the boat and they were getting ready to take off.

"Davis!" Davis turned around to see all his friends. "Please be careful." Lita said.

"Don't worry about me. Are you ready si….s….si…." Despite all that has happened, Davis still couldn't say what Marinda was.

"You don't have to acknowledge the bond between us. I still find it hard to believe myself that I'm related to a fool like you." Marinda said.

"What?! Remind me to get you back for that later. Let's do this!" Davis said as Marinda took a deep breath. Both of them activated their units, not as enemies this time, but together as brother and sister.

"Dragonic Heaven!"

"Tartarus!" Both of them released their units and were ready to take off.

"Looks like Lineer is on to us." Marinda said.

"I see them." Davis said as they saw missiles heading their way. Both Davis and Marinda took the sky and pulled out their swords and sliced down the missiles.

"Let's move out!" Marinda said.

"Right behind you!" Davis said. Both of them took off and raced towards the final battle.

…

Davis: To think I fought against my own sister and she became a friend. Now we're teaming up against our own mother. I might have accepted what I really am, but that doesn't mean I agree with what Lineer is doing. While we're fighting against her, the others are fighting to destroy her flying factory. This is something no one is going to miss.

Next Time: Transcending of Dragonic Heaven

The true power of Dragonic Heaven will be revealed as well.
