The final boss battle: sealing the Shadow away!
Night was having fun controlling the supposed Boss monster. He never knew that actually being the in charge was so fun. But all good things must come to an end. He knew that if he got too into the game then the only way to stop him was to shut down the comp.
He snapped back to the present and noticed that the others were having a harder time than he thought. The Digimon were having the hardest, since they couldn't digivolve.
"What's the matter, Renamon? Wizardmon, why can't you guys digivolve?!" exclaimed Daisuke.
"We need humans with Digivices to digivolve!!" replied Sorcerermon.
"Aw crap…I forgot about those…Gomen."
"NANI?! HOW COULD YOU FORGET TO ADD THOSE?!" roared the Digimon.
"They slipped my mind! Anyway, the BBS said it was a rumor; a mere myth! How was I supposed to know that it wasn't a joke?!"
"BAKA!!!" roared Impmon and Gatomon.
"Sheesh…ya might as well quit complaining 'cause the problem is reversible! I am the master of everything except Players, characters, and NPC's who join the game! Hang on, I'm gonna pause the game. I recommend that you head toward the safe spots until I call you when I retrieve the Digivices! Rest until then!"
Four hours later…
"Finally! I'm almost got 'em! C'mon! THERE!!! FINALLY!!!!!"
"Sounds like he finally got them…" said Renamon.
"Should we get ready?" asked Wizardmon.
"Let's finish our lunch first," replied Daisuke.
"Agreed. After all, there wasn't any time limit to how long we can stay in here."
"Am I imaging things or did he sound calmer than usual?" asked PhantomLoki.
"Must be the tea…" said Gatomon.
"OY! DIDN'T YOU GUYS HEAR ME?! I GOT THE DIGIVICES!! GET BACK HERE DAMMIT!!!" roared Night.
"Shut yer trap! We're having lunch here!! We'll come out after then!" retorted Impmon.
"That's it…I've had it up to here with that mouth of yours Impmon! I get enough of that from MurderousShadow in the real world! Give me one good reason not to ship your ass back to the Digital World!!"
"Because the lunch we had for you is getting cold. And the tea is just right," replied Renamon.
"You should thank Renamon, ya annoying Imp. She just saved your ass."
"Wasn't there a rule against swearing in here?"
"What part of 'Creator of this Game World' did you not get?! I did away with the no swearing rule right after I left!"
"NANI! WHY didn't you tell us that sooner?!"
"I was too busy dealing with this pinhead. If you're gonna take your anger out on something, use him as target practice. And by the way, Shadow—Boss is fair game to use your favorite killing techs. Anyone else and you get a strike!"
"Was that for MurderousShadow or PhantomLoki?" asked Daisuke.
"Actually…that was meant for both. Anyway, after this, no more playing around after lunch. Daisuke, MS, and PhantomLoki. Here are the Digivices as promised. Now what?"
"Unfortunately, one Digimon per human can digivolve. So, some of us will have to back off while the others attack," said Sorcerermon.
"Um, Sorcerermon, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but should we really tell this to the guy controlling the boss character?" said Terriermon.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure that overbearing moron doesn't attack those on the sidelines. He won't attack them so long as they don't go after him. Sound good to you?" asked Night.
"That sounds reasonable. But how do we know that he won't break free from your control and attack us?" asked Renamon.
"Because if he breaks free, then I am soooo gonna delete his ass when we get out of here!" laughed Night.
"Ouch. That alone is good enough incentive to NOT break free."
Twenty minutes later…
"Aren't you guys glad that I can't control your movements? If I could, then you wouldn't be able to move when I paused the game. Now, shall we get back to business?"
"Now that everyone's actually ready, I don't see why not." Renamon replied.
"BEGIN!
After yet another hour, things weren't looking so good for either team. For some reason, they couldn't work out a way to fight together. (They all blamed MurderousShadow for that problem!) PhantomLoki had had it with his counterpart, and told him to join the sideline group! MurderousShadow was annoyed, but he complied.
That turned the tide considerably. Now it was the Shadow—Boss who was on the defensive. It appeared as though they would win after all. That is, until PhantomLoki remembered the real reason why Boss battles are the hardest. It was because right when the players think they can win, the Boss pulls his trump card and usually kills the Players who are to stunned to moved out of his way!
And it was the same in this case. The Shadow—Boss was too stubborn to admit defeat, so he merged with the puppeteer to use one last all-out assault. PhantomLoki was prepared for this; thanks to his knowledge, everyone got out of the way. SHADOW—BOSS began to attack relentlessly.
"Shit! I didn't think that Night would join the main Boss! Everyone, stand back! I have to finish this and seal Shadow away for good. If I don't then Night will never be free from his father's murderous shadow!!"
"That explains the username…" muttered MurderousShadow.
"I'm sorry we got you guys into this mess…" said Argentine to the Digimon.
"Don't worry 'bout that! This is the most fun we've had in years!" exclaimed Impmon.
"He's right, I haven't fought in so long that I forgot what a real battle is like!" said Wizardmon and Sorcerermon in unison.
"You chose us for a reason. We're gonna help you whether you like it or not!" said Daisuke.
"Arigato. But I have to seal him. Is it okay if you act as the distraction? Once I start the seal, it is highly lethal for anyone to interfere! This is because I lose control and won't recognize anyone!"
"Thanks for the warning," muttered MurderousShadow.
"Who said I was referring to you?! You're the one who caused this!!!" roared Argentine.
Argentine began the Seal Ritual. The others distracted the Boss, and no one thought that this was a ploy of some sort. And a good thing too; since if they did, they'd be sealed away with the Boss!
Finally, it was ready!
"EVERYONE! STAND BACK!!!"
Argentine finally sealed away his enemy, Shadow. Now Night was free from his dark influence. But how would the seal affect his friend? He had merged with the Boss! The answer?
It didn't have any effect at all. Night jumped out and congratulated all those who played. They had won, and they were free to leave! MurderousShadow, decided to leave his son in peace.
But what new surprises are in store?
