Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon
Chapter Eighteen
Final Gathering
The celebrations continued long into the night. Leomon challenged Tai to a drinking game, and they both wound up unconscious on the floor.
"They have pissed out." Gabumon said.
Meanwhile, Joe and Mimi were tucked away in a quiet corner, getting better acquainted.
The Digimon were all bragging about how they had killed a Covenant member, and the Sovereigns were all dancing, which was quite the extraordinary sight.
"We cant afford to let Ghoulmon recover. We must strike hard and fast." Wormmon said after a while.
"Agreed, yep yep. We're going after him as soon as possible." Piximon said.
In the centre of the cavern, Biyomon and Palmon were dancing with Gabumon and Gomamon. Over in the corner, Gatomon, Veemon and Patamon were having an argument.
"Now what are they arguing about?" Cody asked.
"Probably who Kari's deciding on." Ken said boredly.
Yolei smiled.
"I'm sure it'll shock everyone."
That perked up their interest.
"You know who's she going to pick?" Ken asked.
"Tell us!" Cody badgered.
Yolei grinned.
"Nope, that's her business."
Kari took Davis and TK into a corner.
"Guys, I'm really sorry for all I've done to you. If I could change it, I would, but I cant. And I cant decide between the two of you. It's just too hard. I've fallen for the two of you, and I cant choose one over the other. So, I would really appreciate it if you two would just leave me alone for a while. Don't flirt with me, don't look after me, just leave me alone. Please."
The two of them looked hurt and confused, but nodded reluctantly.
"Thank you. It means a lot."
She kissed the two on the cheek, and vanished into the crowds of celebrating Digimon.
TK looked at Davis.
"What now?" he asked unhappily.
"I suppose we just go on as normal. And wait for her." Davis answered.
The three arguing Digimon looked at them sympathetically and followed their partners.
Gennai smiled as Arukenimon sat down beside him, exhausted from dancing with Mummymon.
"We wouldn't have gotten so far without you my dear. Thank you."
She smiled.
"You know, it was actually quite nice doing something for the right reason. And there's something about the kids. They inspire you." she said fondly.
He laughed.
"And Ken? How are you and Mummymon getting on with him?"
Arukenimon looked across at Ken, who was arm wrestling Cody.
"We're fine. I think me trying to save him, and Mummymon trying to save Yolei convinced him we're on your side."
"And BlackWarGreymon?"
She looked across to her massive creation, who was dancing with Cannondramon (which was very difficult I assure you).
"Hmm." she said, avoiding the issue.
"Ah."
The party continued until late into the night, when Mimi suddenly reappeared, wrapped in a blanket, looking exhausted.
"Mimi! What's happened!?" Palmon demanded, concerned.
Mimi smiled.
"Oh nothing. He's just not what I expected."
She bent down, and beckoned Sora, Yolei, Kari and the female Digimon close.
"He's like dynamite!" she whispered, and hopped back off, with apples for two.
Palmon stared in shock after her.
"Well, just goes to show: you don't judge a book by its cover." she said.
Azulongmon cleared his throat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have won a major victory. Ghoulmon is the only remaining enemy we have. Tomorrow, we march on Mount Infinity. For tonight, eat, drink, be merry, and rest, for tomorrow, we're at war!"

Ghoulmon bowed before the massive screen.
"They have gotten too far my lord! All the others are dead, and they've all reached Mega!"
"Then we'll just have to try something else. You will destroy them my friend." said the deep voice on the other end.
"But!"
"But nothing! Even if you fail, there are other schemes afoot, other plans to put into motion. I'd rather you succeeded, but if you don't, I'll understand. But, we cant have you being totally slaughtered."
A ball of green light flew out from the screen and coursed into Ghoulmon.
"Ghoulmon digivolve to…VenomGhoulmon!"
Ghoulmon had doubled in size, and was now a bright, acid green, and had massive teeth in his mouth.
"Thank you my lord."
The one on the other end laughed.
"They will be no match for you my friend. You will obliterate them!"
And the two cackled evilly.
Sorry to disappoint those of you who wanted the Kari, TK, Davis love traingle to come to an end! And sorry this is such a short chapter, but this is the second last one, before I go and do Spyro, whos been a bit neglected the poor thing.
Joe and Mimi are really hitting it off, and things are very fiery between them if you catch me drift;)
And Ghoulmon has digivolved! How is that possible!? And what will this mean for the Digidestined? Will they be able to defeat the last member of the Covenant as he has digivolved beyond Mega? And who was he talking to?
More of that to come in future stories, but the next one is the last chapter, and I will start it tomorrow, I promise!
Until it's uploaded, please read and review!
