Chapter 34
They had been watching the children with the Dark Spores gathering at a bridge, and Miharumon was sleeping peacefully on Yumi's lap, while Yumi was leaning on Matt's shoulder, sleepy as well. Someone called Izzy, and he talked for a few minutes before he hung up. "My mom…one sec!" He left in a hurry, and came back with his mother, who had brought some sandwiches. After thanking her, they all started eating, and Izzy's mom left to talk to the children's parents. Yumi looked out of the bushes, and saw Oikawa with the children. "Let's go, guys!" she said, waking Miharumon up. They all sprang out of hiding, but Arukenimon and Mummymon blocked their path.
Oikawa used his laptop to open a gate, with the children chanting, 'Boys and girls, boys and girls, let's go to the Digital World!' A gate opened, and Oikawa, the children, Arukenimon, and Mummymon ran in. "We need to follow them!" Yumi and Miharumon ran ahead, and the others followed…except Matt, Joe, and Izzy. They found themselves in a strange word, and their Digimon Digivolved to fight Arukenimon and Mummymon off. When a huge mouth appeared in the air, Haramon landed next to Yumi, growling too softly to hear, but Yumi could feel the vibration when she put a hand on her neck. The mouth said something about Oikawa hating his only friend, and showed a scene in the past, when the Digital World had been visible in the sky, and they had gone back to face the Dark Masters.
He had given into the darkness, but it wasn't his fault. The scene vanished, and the mouth disappeared as a blue orb seemed to be ripped from Oikawa, creating a double of him. The original fell to the ground, and the copy went to collect the energy from the children. Haramon tried to stop him, but Arukenimon and Mummymon got in the way. As they fought, he finished harvesting the Dark Spores, and the fighting stopped as he transformed into Malomyotismon.
He picked up Arukenimon, and started torturing her. Yumi hugged Haramon's neck, whispering, "Haramon, make it stop! Make it stop!" When he destroyed her, Obana gasped, holding on tight to Kazumamon as Mummymon attacked him angrily. When Mummymon was destroyed, Yumi was shaking, crying into Haramon's fur. Davis tried to convince everyone to fight, but no one was brave enough. Davis turned to Yumi, saying, "You said we could fight any Digimon if we believed in OUR Digimon. Why can't you fight?"
"I…I never wanted this to happen…I felt this was going to happen…but I don't want to lose Haramon…" "You won't lose her! She's stronger than that!" "I lost her to a Digimon much weaker than Malomyotismon, and she was a Mega! I can't lose her again!" No one had seen her cry in so long, and Haramon licked them away, trying to soothe her friend.
Exveemon attacked Malomyotismon alone, determined to keep fighting, and Haramon wanted to help, but when she tried to move, Yumi's grip tightened as she whispered, "Don't leave me…" She looked up as a bright light filled the space, taking her to a different place. She was in the park near her house, sitting with Miharumon under a tree, and it was so…peaceful. Yumi looked up, and saw Malomyotismon. She stood, and Miharumon ran at him, using Howling Inferno. "Miharumon! Don't!" But it was too late. She was destroyed, and no Digiegg came this time. "Miharumon…"
Tears fell from her eyes heavily. "Miharumon…Miharumon, come back! MIHARUMON!!!!" She felt like her heart had been ripped out and thrown at her feet, still beating, but slowly…dying… "Miharumon…my friend…my partner…why'd you have to leave? I need you! I…can't fight without you…I can't sleep without you…I can't…live without you…" she fell to her knees, still crying, when familiar voices came to her ears. "Yumi! Snap out of it! You're not alone!" Kari… "Yumi, get up! You can't just give up!" T.K…. "Yumi! You need to fight the fear in your heart!" Davis… "Wake up, Yumi! We need you!" Yolei… "Yumi! Come back! We're all here to help you!" Cody… "Yumi! Snap out of it! I need your help to DNA-Digivolve!" Obana… and the most important voice of all… "Yumi…wake up…I don't want to lose you to the darkness…I need you…Yumi…I don't know what I'd do without you…"
Yumi's eyes had glazed over, but life came back as she said, "Miharumon…is that you, Miharumon?" A strange shadowy figure appeared beside her, nuzzling her arm. "Miharumon…" She felt happiness wash through her, and she hugged Miharumon around the neck, whispering, "I thought I lost you…" "You'll never lose me…remember that…" With that, she broke free from the illusion, and she was surrounded by all of her friends. "Do you want to get back at Malomyotismon?" Davis questioned, smiling.
"I've never wanted anything more." That's when Haramon, Endohmon, Ayumimon, and Michiyomon appeared, and all of the Digimon attacked him, beating him up badly. That's when the Digimon DNA-Digivolved, and blasted him through to the Digital World. They went through, and their DNA-Digivolved Digimon followed. He started blasting his darkness at the real world, corrupting it. "No…he's going to try and rule both worlds…stop him, Yumimon!" Yumimon used Lunar Staff Strike, but he blasted away all of the Digimon.
"Yumimon!" The Digimon didn't stop trying, when an army of Digimon appeared on the cliffs, led by the original Digimon. Malomyotismon sent out a shockwave of darkness, and lights started shining from earth. "Yumi! I need your strength! I can't do this alone!" Yumi nodded, holding up her D-3, which was glowing just as brightly as the others.
Soon, there were beams of light, and all of the Digidestined from all around the world came to join their Digimon in the battle. "It's time we finished this!" But the children with the Dark Spores…their negative emotions were feeding Malomyotismon, but Davis was able to bring them out of it. They started saying their dreams, what they wanted most, and Yumi smiled, saying, "I've always wanted to open an adoption business for hurt animals." Yumimon smiled, saying, "We're winning!" Dreams, ambitions, wants…they were ringing in the air, and the light of hope destroyed Malomyotismon's body, and the light formed a weapons that Imperialdramon, Fighter Mode, used to destroy his evil shadow. "We did it!"
The DNA-Digivolved Digimon Dedigivolved, and Miharumon ran to Yumi, knocking her over in her joy. "It's finally over…it's really over!" Yumi hugged Miharumon tight. "I'm just happy you won't be hurt anymore…"
25 Years Later
Years had passed, and everyone had reached their goals. Yumi and Matt got married, having twins, and Yumi had opened an adoption agency for hurt and abused animals. Miharumon enjoyed helping her, and, now that the world was a paradise for Digimon and humans alike, their children had their own Digimon as well.
As their children ran into the Digital World, Yumi looked at all of her friends, thinking, My dream really DID come true…all I really wanted was for everyone to be happy… she smiled as the wind blew her hair into her hair, and she put a hand on Miharumon's head. And it'll be like this for as long as I can help it…
