Boltboutamon Z proved to be an incredibly powerful opponent. Enough for Takumi and Keisuke to resort to Imperialdramon. But did they succeed in forcing Zeygard out of Boltboutamon...?

As soon as Imperialdramon's attack exploded after enveloping BoltboutamonZ it rushed over under where his target was hit. "Did that do it?" Ami asked.

"And if it did, did Zygarde survive?" Summer asked.

"I…I don't know…" Ben replied.

They all waited for Imperialdramon to return. After a moment he was seen flying back towards them. "Look!" Kate gasped.

In his hands Imperialdramon carried a small dog-like creature in one hand and a bunch of small lifeforms with eyes in the other. He hurried to the bridge and put them all down. Takumi looked at them and then at his Digimon. "Is this…?"

"Zygarde." Imperialdramon nodded. "And the rest of his cells and cores. We did it." Imperialdramon dropped to a knee.

"Imperialdramon?!"

"I'm alright…just winded…Using everyone's combined power took its toll on me, that's all."

"What happened to Boltboutamon?" Blue Eyes asked.

"I don't know. Probably destroyed."

Ben scanned the Pokemon. "Yup. This is Zygarde in its 10% form."

"Then these must be all its cores and cells." Kyoko said. "It worked."

"Is Zygarde okay?" Keisuke asked.

Sven kneeled to it. "It's pretty banged up, but it looks like it'll make it."

Takumi looked down with guilt in his eyes. Rand put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You did what you had to do."

Mirei turned to her Digimon. "Mastemon, send Zygarde and its cells and cores to the DigiLab. Our allies from the world of Pokemon can tend to it."

Mastemon opened a portal. Sven picked up Zygarde and Wendy gathered the cells and cores. "We'll take it to Rythmi and the Professor." Wendy said. The two Rangers and their Partner Pokemon went into the portal before it closed.

Kyoko picked up her Digivice and opened a monitor. "Matayoshi can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear."

"BoltboutamonZ has been neutralized."

"Well, that's good news. Only problem is his minions are still running amok."

"What?!" Shoma asked. "Impossible! They should have vanished the moment Boltboutamon was defeated!"

"What does this mean?" Rui asked. "And what do we do now?"

"Can you hold out for a while longer?" Rand asked.

"Yeah, but not much…" Matayoshi replied.

"We'll figure this out, just hang in there!" Kellyn said.

"I know you will. I'm counting on you." Matayoshi hung up.

"How do the fake Digimon still exist without Boltboutamon?" Shoma asked.

Mirei looked at her laptop. "Wait…Boltboutamon…His signal hasn't vanished from this world yet…"

"Huh?" Keith turned to him. "What does that mean?"

"It means…Boltboutamon hasn't been destroyed!"

"You're joking!" Red Eyes cringed.

Ben looked at the sea. "Are you sure? I don't see him any- A red bolt of lightning came down startling everyone. Then they heard laughter.

"What was that?" Nokia shivered.

Shoma clenched his fist. "I know that laugh…"

Something slowly rose out of the water. "Boltboutamon!" Arata yelled.

"Wait a second…Why is he suddenly so huge?!" Yu asked.

Now as tall as Imperialdramon, Boltboutamon rushed over at speed incredible for his new size and grabbed Imperialdramon by the face before throwing him behind him. "So, who missed me?" Boltboutamon grinned at the humans who were shocked into silence. "Wow. Apparently, no one. That kinda stings."

"What the heck is going on?!" Nokia shouted.

"His power…He's even stronger than he was as BoltboutamonZ!" Noir exclaimed.

"How is that possible?" Fei asked. "What did you do?!"

"Ha, ha, ha! Oh, you're all so small compared to me now and I can still hear all your little brains wracking, trying to figure this all out. Really, I'm just as surprised as the rest of you! Allow me to explain. If you recall, after the meddlesome Rangers here used their Capture Stylers on my new body-which I specifically told you kids not to do by the way-the consciousness of Zygarde overwhelmed me, locking my own deep into its vast mind. blocking me out of controlling it as it held back our power. But after you blasted Zygarde and removed its cells from me, not only was a I freed from my unexpected prison. But all of Zygarde's power was transferred to me."

"You gotta be kidding me!" Blue Eyes yelled.

"And now with full control of this power I can throw this entire world into chaos just like that! The clones of my parts Zygarde accidently created are doing a fine job. But once I'm rid of all of you, I'll create more, stronger clones, and bring ruin! The true grand finale!"

"I won't let you!" Imperialdramon got back up and rushed at the monster throwing a punch. Boltboutamon moved behind him. Imperialdramon kept punching and kicking at him, but he dodged every attack with ease as he hummed.

"We need to help him!" Ami said. "Rosemon!"

"Ami, no!" Mirei said. "I need both Rosemon and Omnimon here!"

"But Imperialdramon-

"I'm almost done! I established a link to Noir's Digital World! I just need a little more time for Mastemon to open the portal and your Digimon will lead Shoma's friends to us!"

"What makes you think two more Tamers are going to make so much difference?" Rosemon asked.

"Because they are the ones who thwarted Boltboutamon time and time again."

Imperialdramon's last punch was dodged, and Boltboutamon smacked him with the back of his hand. After stumbling back a bit, Imperialdramon summoned his blade of light. "Splendor Blade!"

Boltboutamon cackled as he blocked the overhead swing with one of his swords. "My, my. You are strong indeed Imperialdramon. But you used up too much energy to fight Zygarde, didn't you?" He easily pushed Imperialdramon's blade back. "You might have actually stood a chance against me if you were in peek condition."

"Curse you!"

Boltboutamon kicked Imperialdramon back and lifted his sword. "Pernicious Waltz!" A storm of magical copies of his sword appeared around him. He pointed his sword in his hand at Imperialdramon and they all flew at him.

Imperialdramon deflected the first three, but one grazed his leg making him stumble. He blocked another and then one hit him in the shoulder. Then he was mercilessly hacked at. Keisuke and Takumi watched in horror. "Imperialdramon!"

"We gotta do something!" Arata yelled. "I don't care if we're outmatched!"

"I'm with you!" Ben nodded. "Latios!"

Boltboutamon took out one of his Ala di Pollo gun with his free hand. "Quartzione." He fired repeatedly and shot Mega Latios, Mega Latias, Armageddemon, ShineGreymon Burst Mode, Ravemon Burst Mode, Chaosdramon TiggerVespamon, Kerpymon, Justimon, Vikemon, and MarineAngemon. All the Digimon were knocked back into their Rookie forms and Latios and Latias lost their Mega Evolution. "Anyone else?"

"…You're joking right?" Chitose murmured. "All of them…just like that?"

Yuuko dropped to her knees. "It's hopeless…"

Ami cringed at the sight of her discouraged friends. "Mirei, for crying out loud HURRY!"

"I'm doing my best; dimensional travel isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world!"

"Neither is holding out against a monster that wiped out multiple Mega and Ultra level Digimon in ten seconds flat!"

"Point taken; I'm starting the upload now!"

"Mach Rush!" Imperialdramon held his fists out and tried to charge Boltboutamon while it was distracted, but he turned around and caught the fists with his giant skeleton hands. "Erk!"

"Nice try." The evil Digimon lifted Imperialdramon up and slammed him into the water. He lifted the Digimon up and threw him near the land on the other end of the bridge Takumi and the others came from.

"Imperialdramon!" Takumi ran down the bridge with Keisuke.

"Almost there…" Mirei's eyes were on her computer. She watched a bar slowly fill up.

69%

In Flotea two teenagers, a boy and a girl stood in front of a Taomon. Behind them were a Omnimon and a Rosemon Burst Mode. "Are you ready yet?" The boy asked. "It sounds like things are going sour over there."

"Shh! Let him focus." The girl replied. "Shoma…We're on our way. Just hang on a little longer!"

75%

Imperialdramon landed on his back. He tried to get back up, but Boltboutamon pushed him to the ground with his foot on the dragon emperor's chest. "A real shame Imperialdramon. I was hoping I'd have a little fun with you once I got back in control after the whooping you gave when me as BoltboutamonZ. But it seems there's no fun left to be had from you."

81%

Takumi and Keisuke reached the island and were running towards Imperialdramon. "Imperialdramon!" Takumi shouted.

The Digimon grunted and looked at them. "Takumi! Keisuke! Stay away!" Boltboutamon cackled and took out his firearm. Alarmed at the sight of it and where he was pointing it, Impirialdramon aimed the cannon mounted on his arm at him. "Positron- With his other hand, Boltboutamon slashed the cannon off with his sword. He then looked back at the Tamers and fired.

90%

"No!" Hudiemon flew in front of them and summoned a barrier. The attack blasted the shield and while none of them were hit they were sent flying and laned on their backs. Except Hudiemon. Keisuke wrapped his arms around her waist and cushioned her with his body and his back hit the pavement.

95%

Boltboutamon grinned. "You too Hudiemon? Fine. The more the marrier."

96%

Imperialrdamon growled as he tried to push Boltboutamon off him.

97%

Takumi grunted as he got into a sitting position.

98%

Hudiemon sprung to her feet and crossed her arms ready to shield Keisuke who was still on the ground behind her.

99%

"ERIKA, NO!" Keisuke screamed.

100%

"Now!" Mirei shouted.

Boltboutamon's trigger finger started to move.

"HAAAAAAAA!" Mastemon glowed as she rotated her arms and brought her palms together. She threw them into the air and a blue circle appeared in front of her.

Boltboutamon paused and looked behind him as a bright light shined from the bridge. "What the…?"

Everyone on the bridge shielded their eyes. Omnimon and Rosemon Burst Mode glowed white. Then something started to come down from the circle. A Digimon slowly landed in front of Omnimon. Then another in front of Rosemon Burst Mode. "What?" Ami gasped. Standing in front of her and Nokia's Digimon were another Omnimon and another Rosemon Burst Mode. It was like the two Digimon were standing in front of a mirror. "Mirei…what is going on?"

The woman smiled. "There are many different human and Digital Worlds out there, Cyber Sleuth. Meaning the possibilities are endless. You Keisuke and your brother are not the only ones with power over destiny."

Next two humans slowly floated out of the hole and landed in front of their Digimon. Shoma gasped. "It's you!"

A boy and a girl smiled. "Sorry to keep you waiting Shoma." The boy smiled.

"Are we too late to help?" the girl asked.

Blade pointed at the end of the bridge. "I have no idea what's going on here, but if you two are here to help, you showed up in the nick of time."

Boltboutamon watched the glow die down. "What was that?" He looked back at Takumi and Keisuke. "What did you do now?"

"Us? I thought that was another of your twisted schemes!" Keisuke said.

"Is that so? Well regardless of who did what, nothing is going to stop me from making this whole world my plaything." Boltboutamon prepared to fire again.

And then something happened that caught him off guard. Something kicked him in the back of the head. Then something else charged into him from the front ramming both of its fists into his face. The female Digimon that hit him first moved aside as Boltboutamon fell back into the water. Takumi looked up. "Rosemon and Omnimon?" He heard footsteps approach behind him. "Ami, Nokia- When he looked behind him, he didn't see who he expected to see. But rather two teenagers who looked rather similar. A boy with a red shirt, a grey coat and black hair with a hint of blue. And a girl with black hair in a bonytail with a pink tip and a coat that was white, blue and black. "…Huh?"

The boy pulled Takumi back on his feet. "Are you two okay?"

"Uh, yeah."

Shiki helped Keisuke up. "You two held your own against Boltboutamon. Not just any Tamer can do that."

"Um, thanks. Who are you?" Keisuke asked.

"Mirei called us here with the help of your friends. Turns out since they have the same partner Digimon as us, she could bring us here to help Shoma with his mission."

Boltboutamon rose out of the water and looked at the Digimon that attacked him. "What?! You two?! That means…" He looked at the bridge and saw the Tamers with Takumi and Keisuke. "How about that…"

"We've come to crash your party "Malevolent Fist!" the boy glared.

"This time you won't get away!" the girl added.

Boltboutamon laughed. "First Shoma, now you two…You really are full of surprises…Takuto and Shiki!"

The two Digimon flew to their Tamers. Takuto jumped on Omnimon's shoulder and Shiki held onto Rosmeon Burst Mode. "We'll take it from here." Takuto said.

"Boltboutamon came from our Digital World and is our responsibility." Shiki said. "Leave him to us."

Their Digimon flew into Boltboutmaon who caught them in his hands. They pushed him back a bit until he was a god distance from land before pushing them back. "You think you can take care of me? I think you two underestimate my spoils. I not only have Zygarde's power, but I absorbed strength from all the legendary Pokemon that were part of my Dark Bond. And yet you two really think you can beat me now?"

"After everything you've done to this world and the world of Pokemon, we'll find a way!" Takuto declared.

"We always do." Shiki added.

"Heh, heh, heh. You always were interesting to me."

Hudiemon, Takumi and Keisuke hurried over to Imperialdramon. "Are you okay?" Keisuke asked.

The Digimon grunted and sat up. "Yeah. I'm alright."

The others ate the bridge watched. "What do we do now?" Kellyn asked.

"Just leave it to Takuto and Shiki." Shoma said. "There's no way they can lose. Especially not when fighting together. Their sibling bonds as well as the bonds with their Digimon are the strongest thing in our Digital World."

Mirei smiled. "You could say they are the equivalent of another pair of siblings we all know in that Digital World. Now then. Omnimon, Alphamon, Nior, Mastemon and I will be requiring your assistance for my plan to put a permanent stop to Boltboutamon…"

"You finished preparing "that place" for him?" Shoma asked.

"Yes. I just need some powerful Digimon to share their energy with Mastemon…"

The new Omnimon and Rosemon Burst Mode faced Boltboutamon with Takuto and Shiki. Boltboutamon roared as he started glowing red. On their left wrists, Takuto and Shiki's digivices glowed white and their Digimon had a similar glow. In a flash the three combatants charged at each other. Boltbotamon blocked the flurry of attacks from the two Ultra Digimon with one hand each. Rosemon circled behind him to hit him in the back of the head and Omnimon uppercutted him when he staggered.

"Aguichant Lèvres!"

"Supreme Cannon!" They both fired a blast that Boltbotamon blocked his arms. "Transcendent Sword!" The Omnimon took out his blade and charged at it.

"Quartzione!" Boltboutamon took out two pistols and fired rapidly and Rosemon and Omnimon. When they staggered Takuto lost his balance on his Digimon.

"WHOOOOOAA!"

"Takuto!" Shiki shouted as her brother fell towards the water.

Then Imperialdramon swooped in. Keisuke was grabbing Takuto's arm as Takumi stood on Impirialdramon holding the back of Keisuke's hood. Imperiladramon stopped and Takumi pulled Keisuke and Takuto up. "We got him!" Keisuke grunted.

"And I got all of you!" Imperialdramon looked up when he heard Boltboutamon in front of him with his pistols glowing.

"Look out!" Takuto's Omnimon flew right in front of Imperialdramon and took the hit while getting knocked into the Digimon behind him.

When Imperialdramon and the Omnimon made contact, Takumi, Keisuke. And Takuto's Digivices glowed while. "What?" Boltboutamon backed up as a white shell coated the two Digimon and their tamers.

Shiki and her Rosemon shielded their eyes. "What's happening?"

Everyone at the bridge stared in amazement. "This light…" Nokia murmured.

DNA DIGIVOLUTION

The shell slowly dissolved from top to bottom. Takumi was on Imperialdramon's head with Keisuke on his right shoulder and Takuto on his left. Imperialdramon wore white armor and held a shining sword in his hands. "Takuto's Digimon merged with Takumi and Keisuke's?!" Shoma gasped.

"Imperialdramon took on another form!" Ben said in awe.

"Paladin Mode!" Nokia smiled.

Boltboutamon cringed at the shining Digimon who's wings spread as he held his weapon in front of him in a fighting stance. "So that's how you want to play, eh?" He took flight and looked high above Imperialdramon as he drew his swords. "Then fine! I'll fight with numbers as well!" His swords made two copies. Then those two copies made copies. Then the four copies made copies and so on until the sky was filled with phantom blades. Imperialdramon flew up towards Boltboutamon who swung his real swords down. "Pernicious Waltz!" The blades around him rained down towards Imperialdramon.

Back on the bridge Mirei was at her laptop again. "Alright, the link is up. Now we just need an opening."

Alphamon who was watching the battle summoned her Ouryuken. "Imperialdramon!" She threw it towards the Digimon.

Takumi looked at the sword spinning towards them. "Alphamon?" Imperialdramon reached for it with his free hand. A white light surged from his palm to the blade as it flew towards him, making the blade grow as big as his Omni Sword as he caught it. With the Omni Sword in one hand and the Ouryuken in the other he sped towards the rain of swords.

"RAH!" He swung the Omni Sword, leaving a trail of white that disintegrated the first wave of copies of Boltboutamon's blades. "HA!" Then he swung the Ouryuken leaving a trail of green that destroyed the next wave.

"W-what?!" Boltboutamon trembled.

Imperialdramon gripped both swords and swung in an x formation leaving a green and white x shape that flew forward and destroyed the last of the swords before fading. "Boltboutamon!" Takumi, Keisuke, and Takuto shouted as Imperialdramon flew up to the enemy and swung both swords down at him. When Boltboutamon tried using his swords to block his, they were snapped in half and the fiendish Digimon was knocked back.

Then thorny whips coiled around Boltboutamon's midsection. "Going somewhere?" Ami grinned. At Imperiladramon's left she was holding her Rosemon Burst Mode. Shiki floated at his right with hers.

"Get him guys!" Shiki shouted as the two Rosemon pulled Boltboutamon back towards Imperialdramon who thrusted the two blades into the chest. He screamed as he was flung far back again.

Boltboutamon looked at the cracks of light the blades formed on his body, when Alphamon, Nokia's Omnimon, Omnimon Alter-B and Mastemon snuck up behind him. Mastemon's hands glowed as she held them in front of her and a portal appeared right behind Boltboutamon. "What?" He felt the force of it pull him towards a dark area. "Th-that's…!"

"The deepest part of the Singular Zone." Noir said. "We prepared it just for you. Not even you will escape from this prison Malevolent Fist."

It pulled Boltbotamon harder and started to suck him in. "Urgh! No! Not like this!" His giant skeleton hands grabbed the edges of the portal as he fell halfway through.

"It's over!" Imperialdramon shouted as he threw the Omni Sword and the Ouryuken at Boltbotamon.

Boltboutamon's eyes flashed, and the swords bounced off of an invisible force. He smirked as they flew up. Then a whip coiled around the hilt of the Omni Sword and another around the Ouryuken. Shiki's Rosemon swung the Omni Sword into Boltboutamon's giant right hand and Ami's swung the Ouryuken into the left, weakening their grip on the edge of the portal. "GAAAAAAAH!" With his normal arms he took out his Ala di Pollo pistols and they glowed red. "QUARTZIONE!"

The two Rosemon Burst Mode glowed as Imperialdramon Paladin Mode opened a cannon from his chest. "Aguichant Lèvres!"

"Giga Crusher!" Imperialdramon's laser along with the Rosemon attacks combined into a white beam that clashed with two red beams from Boltboutamon's weapons.

Waves rocked under them as the colliding forces gleamed. "The party's over for you Malevolent Fist!" Takuto glared.

"We won't let you destroy our world!" Keisuke shouted. Imperialdramon pushed forward and the white beam slowly started pushing Boltboutamon's attack back.

"This world…no, all worlds belong to me! You won't interfere with my glorious showpiece!" His twin laser shot doubled in size and started pushing back.

"No!" Ami yelled.

"Just a little more…" Shiki muttered. "We can't lose here…"

"Don't give up!"

Takumi gasped as he looked behind him Ho-oh flew to them with two passengers. "Ben…Wes…"

"We can do this together!"

Ami looked behind her as Lugia approached with two people on it. "Summer… Michael…"

Ben and Wes each held a hand forward. "SACRED FIRE!"

Summer and Michael each lifted a hand up. "AEROBLAST!"

Ho-oh shot a sphere of flame. Lugia unleashed a tornado of wind into the back of it and they joined Imperialdramon and the Rosemons' combined attack, turning it golden and tripling its size.

Boltboutamon gapped as they plowed through his attack. "Wh-what is this?!"

Takumi gritted his teeth. "This is the power…"

"OF A *TRUE* BOND!" Ami, Keisuke, Ben, Summer, Wes, Michael, Takuto and Shiki shouted with him.

Imperialdramon stopped firing the Giga Crusher and the cannon on his chest changed shape and glowed. "IONIC BLASTER!" With the combination attack even bigger, Boltboutamon's attack was pressed through, and the villain screamed as the golden attack came right at him. With a glorious explosion, the Ouryuken and Omni Sword flew into the air for Imperiladramon to catch and Boltboutamon, covered in scratches with a cracked mask and his clothing torn here and there, was flung into the darkness within the portal.

"Now Mastemon, slam the door in his face!" Ami shouted.

Inside the desolate Singular Zone Boltbotamon weakly floated away from the closing portal. "Urgh…I guess the party…really is over…Oh well…It's been…fun." He chuckled as he sank deeper into the darkness.

Mastemon clenched her hands and the portal shrunk into a small orb before dissipating into golden sparks. "THEY DID IT!" Nokia shouted.

Arata smiled. "Of course, they did."

Imperialdramon slowly floated back to the bridge filled with cheers alongside the Rosemons, Ho-oh, and Lugia. Once Ami and Shiki's feet touched the ground Ami's Rosmeon landed in her arms as Palmon, and Shiki's Digimon split into a normal Rosemon and a Hououmon. Imperialdramon split into four. Terriermon landed in Takumi's arms, Tentomon was on Keisuke's back, and a WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon landed near Takuto. "Hard to believe we managed that." Takuto laughed wiping sweat from his forehead.

"Don't be absurd." Shoma smiled. "With you guys, anything is possible."

Mirei approached with her laptop. "It's done. Boltboutamon has been sealed off from all Digital Worlds."

"What's going to happen to him?" Yuuko asked.

"We'll monitor him from Flotia." Noir said. "We can't let him start another rampage."

"So, he's just going to be trapped there forever?" Solana asked.

"If someday he shows signs of remorse for his crimes, we'll let him out." Shiki replied.

"Will he though?" Keith asked.

"Why not? People and Digimon can both change for the better." Takuto replied.

"Yes…I can only hope so." Eldes said.

"We were thinking maybe someday Boltboutamon will be a resident in Flotia like the others."

"Shoma mentioned you even befriended the Seven Deadly Digimon in your Digital World." Hudiemon said.

"Yup. In fact, just about every Digimon who's previously been an enemy, is now a friend!" Shiki replied. "Together we made Flotia a true paradise."

Takumi smiled and looked over the bridge. "That must be nice."

"Well, Flotia is pretty amazing." Takuto grinned.

"No. I mean being able to make friends with your enemies. I can still remember all the Digimon we were forced to destroy in the past. Craniumon…Leopardmon…Grandlocolmon…Tankmon…Even if some of them were evil…I just can't help but wish there were another way…"

Kyoko put a hand on Takumi's shoulder. "We're all responsible for our own choices. Leopardmon and the other rouge knights made theirs and meet their end on their own terms. You did what you had to do."

"She's right." Wes said. "We all have our reasons to fight. But fighting itself doesn't make you evil. It all depends on what you fight for."

"Yeah…" Takumi noticed a shine and looked up. The sun was rising.

"Heh. It's been a heck of a night." Chitose said. "But a beautiful morning."

Everyone smiled at the shinning sunrise. "It sure is." Ryuji grinned.

"This is my first time seeing the sunrise of your world." Summer said. "Its as bright and gorgeous as ours…"

"Hey, aren't you guys forgetting something?" Nokia asked.

"She's right." Ben said. "It's not over yet." He looked at everyone. They smiled and nodded to him. He, Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, and all the Rangers posed. "MISSION CLEAR!" Pichu gave the ukulele a twang.

Suddenly a portal appeared and Arceus strode out of it in human form. With him the legendary Pokemon summoned by Ben, Summer and Blade. "Arceus!" Ben and the others hurried over to him.

The creator of the Pokemon World smiled. "Well done. The fake Digimon have all disappeared. The battle is over."

"How is everyone?" Ami asked.

"A few injuries. But they're all alright."

"Thank goodness." Yu smiled.

Blade stepped forward and kneeled. "Master Arceus…"

"You have done well Blade. You have passed your final test and your rehabilitation is complete. Your crimes are forgiven."

"Thank you master." Blade stood up. "So, what happens now?"

"That is up to you now. You must forge a new destiny for yourself. Just as these young ones have."

"I shall."

"Well then…" Mirei turned to Mastemon. "Shoma, Takuto, Shiki, I believe it is time you were returned to Flotia. With Boltboutamon gone, the Digital Waves will fade soon. You'll need to go before that happens or you won't be able to leave here."

"Yeah. I'm sure the others are worried." Takuto said. He turned to the others. "Too bad we didn't get much time but, it was nice meeting all of you."

"Thank you for all your help." Ami said.

"Ha! That should be our line!" Shiki smiled. "Don't worry about Boltboutamon, we'll take care of him."

"Maybe we'll met again someday." Noir said.

"I hope so." Keisuke smiled.

"Hey." Takuto looked at Takumi and Keisuke. "When we do, how about we have a battle? I'll take you guys one anytime!"

Takumi smiled and shook Takuto's hand. "Yeah. We'll be waiting. Until then, keep getting stronger."

Mastemon opened a portal. "Well then…I guess this is goodbye." Shiki smiled.

"So long everybody." Shoma said.

"Take care guys!" Ben waved. "And thanks!"

Takuto, Shiki, and Shoma waved as they stepped into the portal along with their Digimon. Mirei smiled as she closed her laptop. "Well, that wraps this up. Another case skillfully closed Cyber Sleuths."

Suddenly all the Digimon glowed. One by one they went into their owners Digivices, with Hudiemon going to Ryuji's. "It's finally over." Fei said.

"I must be off." Mirei said as she started walking away.

"Hey, Mirei." She stopped when Takumi spoke. "Do you think someday the Digital Shift is something we could recreate and control?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Digimon appearing here happened twice so far. And both times it may have brought chaos, but it also brought opportunity. A chance for humans and Digimon to live together. Do you think someday…our world can be like Flotia?"

"A good question. But I would not know. Your destiny is yours to decide."

Ami grinned at her. "Weren't you the one who bragged about how you can see all?"

"Some destinies even I can't read. You, Keisuke, Takumi, you've all outgrown my foresight. You no longer need me to point you in the right direction. Your destiny can only be determined by you now." Mirei smiled. "You children, are a unknown possibility. And I look forward to seeing what you create." She then took her leave.

Arceus chuckled before stepped forward. "I can summon Palkia. However, stabilizing the mess Boltboutamon made with the borders between dimensions has been exhausting. We should give it a day to recover. Then it can take us all home."

"I guess that means you guys are stuck with us for another day." Kate winked.

"We don't mind." Yuugo smiled. "We'll ask father to arrange a place for you overnight."

Rui smiled at Wes. "It's like a vacation, huh?" Wes was smiling as he looked at the sky. "Wes? What's with that grin?"

"I swore to myself that when this business with Cipher was over, I'd ask you something Rui."

"Huh?"

Wes turned to her. "Ever since that faithful day I rescued you six years ago, you were by my side. When I felt like I was alone after leaving Snagum, you gave me a better life. And now…I want to give you the same." He took a small box from his coat pocket. Everyone gasped as he got on one knee and opened it. There was a ring inside. "Rui…will you marry me?"

Rui's face became red as she started to tear up. "Oh my…Wes…" She started crying in joy. "Yes! I will!"

Everyone cheered as Wes put the ring on her finger. She embraced him immediately after he stood up. "Congratulations!" Michael smiled.

"Now this is cause for celebration!" Nokia said.

Takumi's Digivice started ringing. "Uh, hello?"

"Takumi, are you and Ami okay?!"

"Mom! Yeah, we're fine. How about you?"

"Puppetmon and I are both alright. Those monsters suddenly disappeared. Did you do this?"

"It wasn't just us." Takumi smiled. "We had help. Hey, we're heading to Shibuya with our friends to show them around. Care to join us? I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

"I'm on my way."

Takumi smiled at his friends from the other world. "Well, shall we give you the tour? We'll grab Professor Hastings and the others on the way."

Ben nodded. "Lead the way old friend."

Of course, I was gonna have the stars of Next Order cameo if I was gonna get their game involved with this. I'm thinking I might write about these two again sometime but I wonder... if I do write about Takuto and Shiki should I have Shiki's EXE be Rosemon Burst Mode again? Or perhaps something...different? You know what? I think I'll do a poll on my main page regarding that, I got a few ideas. Check it out and tell me what you think.

But as for now, next chapter is going to be the grand finale folks. Not just for Malevolent Cipher. But for ALL of Cyber Ranger. See you next week for the end, of my biggest project to date.
