----------------------Chapter Twenty-Two – He Wouldn't Be Gone ------------------------

Matthew fell next to BlackAgumon's side. "BlackAgumon, get up." He choked. There was smoke everywhere from the attacks, making his lungs full of smoke. "Please." He asked in desperation. –It just can't end this way!-

A shadow came upon bodies and Matthew looked up and saw MedEvilGallentmon there, looking down at them. "Pathetic." He pointed towards Matthew. "This is the end of the line, Keeper of Strength."

"Crap."

"This is your end-"

"No!"

MedEvilGallentmon's eyes widened as he looked down to Matthew, who was struggling to stand up, along with BlackAgumon; both pairs of eyes looking fierce. "What did you just say?"

Matthew glared. "I said no! I wont let this go! If I go down, you're going with me!"

"Says who?" Asked MedEvilGallentmon, who was losing his patience.

"Says me!" Matthew exclaimed. "That may not sound like much, but it's true. I'm not leaving until you're gone. I wont give up until you do. I wont let the Digital World suffer anymore by the likes of you!" When it looked like he had MedEvilGallentmon's full attention, Matthew continued. "You need to release your digimon slaves, which includes our parents' digimon! You need to let go of Noah and Haru, so they can realize what they're doing is despicable! You just need to give up and go away because you need to realize you're not winning this, not matter the outcome." He stated confidently.

Matthew sighed when MedEvilGallentmon started laughing. This wasn't working too well. "Look at you, human! You're bruised and beaten. You're short and shrimpy. You can't stand up straight, neither can your partner. So what makes you think that you can take me down alone?"

"My team will come!"

"And those scrawny brats will help you?" The evil digimon mocked. "You little kids need to give up your powers to me if you want those adults in my prison safe and sound."

Matthew chuckled. "Too late."

MedEvilGallentmon narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"My teammate already found them. It's over. You have nothing over our heads, so we're not giving up."

MedEvilGallentmon growled dangerously. "You will pay!" He took a deep breath. "FIRE BLAST!" Since it was so sudden, BlackAgumon and Matthew had no time to run or dodge. Matthew screamed in pain, since it hurt so bad on his body. MedEvilGallentmon just laughed when Matthew went unconscious and BlackAgumon tried to wake him up. "No one can defeat me!"

"MATTHEW!" All eyes went to Taichi, who ran to his brother with tears in his eyes. "Matthew, wake up!" He cried out when he reached his twin brother. "Aw man! Wake up! I'm sorry for calling Takeo a better brother than you! I really am! You're the best twin brother any guy could ever ask for!"

Matthew groaned and looked up to Taichi. "Did you really mean that?"

Taichi nodded quickly. "Yes!"

Matthew chuckled. "Good." He took Taichi's hand to help him up and that's when they noticed the rest of the team there. Matthew looked at everyone with direct sight.

Ryo's shirt was ripped on the shoulders, obviously from someone clawing at his shirt. Maro was his smiley self, with Koemon's egg still in his hands, safely. Sakura was soaked from head to toe, her hair getting a frizzy curl. Kanaye was a little on the bruised side, but nothing too major from what Matthew could see. Taichi looked exhausted, with a bruised cheek. He was limping a little. He was a bit on the sweaty and dirty side. Matthew couldn't say much though, since he looked worse than everyone.

Sakura smiled and put her hair up into a ponytail with a band that was on her wrist. "So what's the plan, Scope?"

Kanaye grinned. "Yea, leader. We're behind you no matter what the plan is."

Maro nodded. "You're the leader of this team and we believe that you can do this. That you can lead us."

Ryo shrugged. "You haven't gotten us killed so far. I trust you with my life so trust me with yours. Give me an order, and you got it."

Taichi smiled. "If you even thought we wouldn't come, then you're wrong. You're our brother, friend, and leader. We're a team."

Matthew chuckled. "Yes, we are. We are a team. And a team supposed to stick together."

Maro pumped his fist in the air. "Yeah!"

While the devolved digimon was holding off MedEvilGallentmon with poor fighting skills, Matthew made the team huddle. "Alright, Maro, because of obvious reasons, you're staying put here."

Maro nodded. "Got it, sir!"

"Sakura and Kanaye, have your digimon attack from behind. Taichi, you're with me. Ryo, you and SnowAgumon- wait…where is SnowAgumon?" Matthew asked curiously and with concern.

Ryo's eyes widened. "Oh no! Where is he? He promised to catch up to me after he would destroy Noah's partner!"

"We'll look for him later, but for right now, stay with Maro." Matthew ordered.

Ryo growled in frustration, but obeyed. "Okay."

Matthew nodded in thanks. Taichi grinned. "Everyone ready for this?"

Sakura clapped her hands. "Let's do this!"

MedEvilGallentmon threw the digimon aside easily and quickly did something with his hands, in like a formation. "Not today, brats!"

Everyone in the castle felt something rush through their bones. Like an icy, terrifying feeling that would most likely haunt them later in life. Sakura grabbed onto Kanaye's arm and looked to Matthew. "What's happening?" She asked, scared out of her mind.

Maro was shaking terribly, Ryo putting his hands on Maro's shoulders. "Calm down, Sunny. It's okay." He looked to Matthew. "Scope?"

Matthew looked to his siblings and cousins, and then to his twin brother, who was staring at something to the side. Everyone looked in that direction and was frozen in fear, just like Taichi was. A dark figure, in the shape of MedEvilGallentmon, was in the sky, away from them.

"You're on my turf now." He laughed evilly. It made the kids shiver with fear. "You're playing with the big boys now. You wont win here in my realm. The dark realm. As a matter of fact…you'll be here forever!"

Matthew shook his head, finding courage to speak. "Not this time, bud! Let us out of here and fight fairly!"

MedEvilGallentmon laughed harder. "You're fake bravery amuses me, oh great Keeper of Strength!" He mocked Matthew, who was standing his ground. "This is fair. You're in my world now. My world; my rules."

Matthew clenched his fist and looked at his teammates. "Don't quit on me, guys." The others snapped out of their trance and looked to their leader, who was trying to be strong for all six of them at one time. "It can't end like this!" Matthew, who was ready to pass out, looked at them with power. "If we fight with everything we have…if we believe in the digimon and our powers as much as we can, then we'll get through this! We'll defeat him!"

Ryo gave a strong nod. "He's right. Even without SnowAgumon and Koemon, we can still believe in the remaining digimon and fight back! We have to have faith!"

"Because only with faith we can win!" Maro yelled out, excitedly.

Taichi, Kanaye, and Sakura nodded in agreement. "We can do this!" Kanaye yelled.

"Fire Blast!" Then a sudden loud BOOM was heard behind them and now they had the battle's full attention. DarkTryannamon was panting from tiredness, as were the others. "Take that, you son of a-"

Matthew's eyes widened. "DARKTYANNAMON!" He scolded loudly before his digimon could finish his statement.

DarkTryannamon gave a weak smile. "Sorry."

Growlmon laughed. "Haha, you got yelled at!"

DarkTryannamon glared. "Shut up, you big baby!"

Antylamon blinked. "All I'm going to say is: Wow." Gargomon chuckled.

MedEvilGallentmon growled dangerously at the four digimon, who just pissed him off…big time. "You four, along with your midget partners over there, are dead!"

Taichi glared. "Hey! We're not midgets! The only one that's midget is Sakura!"

Sakura glared at him. "Thanks." She growled out sarcastically.

"SILENCE!" MedEvilGallentmon yelled, making the dark place tremble. "You'll pay!" He took a deep breath. "Rage of Wyvern!" A huge fire in a shape of a dragon shot up from the ground and headed straight for the four digimon and six kids.

The kids' eyes widened. "Oh shit." Taichi muttered.

Antylamon reached for Sakura and Maro. "Grab the kids!" She screamed to the other digimon as she jumped from the dragon. The others grabbed a kid or two and followed Antylamon's lead. She quickly, but gently, set Sakura and Ryo down and ran towards MedEvilGallentmon. "Treasure Axes!" She swung the axes as she charged for him and before she could hit him, MedEvilGallentmon dodged and kicked her in the back, slamming her face down on the ground.

Sakura gasped. "Antylamon!" She tried to run to her, but Kanaye held her back.

"There's nothing you can do!" Kanaye told her, keeping a strong grip on her waist.

"Gargo Pellets!" Many bullets hit MedEvilGallentmon's back and he was about to fall onto Antylamon, but she quickly turned and kicked his stomach and sent him flying backwards.

He went flying in DarkTryannamon's direction, but before he could land anywhere, DarkTyannamon attacked. "Iron Tail!" Just like hitting a ball out of the field is was DarkTrannamon did to MedEvilGallentmon!

Before anyone could think of attacking again, Dobermon popped out. "Fire Energy Blast!" He shot a blast in Kanaye and Sakura's direction! None of the digimon had time to stop it.

Matthew got tears. "NO! NOT THEM!"

Sakura screamed bloody murder and then the attack hit them with such force…or did it? Kanaye covered Sakura protectively, but when he didn't feel the burning attack hit, he looked up and saw two angels in front of them, who just shielded the attack from their tiny bodies. Kanaye held on to a crying Sakura, who was scared, and Kanaye had to admit…he was too. Once his heart stopped racing, he had the guts to stand up, bringing Sakura with him. He looked to his team, but mostly to his leader, who was on his hands and knees, mumbling "thank you, God" over and over.

"Thank you, Angemon and Angewoman." Kanaye told the angels. "You saved us."

The spirit angels turned to them with smiles. "No, thank you." Then they disappeared.

Kanaye sighed in relief, even though Sakura was still whimpering from the scare. "Sshh…it's okay."

Ryo glared daggers to the two figures responsible for Kanaye and Sakura's almost deaths. "If anything had happened to them, you two would be dead by now!" Taichi stood close to him, nodding in dead agreement.

Noah and Haru shrugged. "It happens."

"Guys!" Everyone looked to Maro. "Where's MedEvilGallentmon?!" He screamed, pointing to where the digimon was a few minutes ago.

He was gone.

Matthew growled and clenched his fist. "No! Where is he?!"

"Safe." Answered Noah, who looked grim and pissed. "He'll be resting up for the next battle."

Taichi's eyes widened. "Next battle?!" He shook his head. "No way! We came to finish that pain in the butt today! Not tomorrow or whenever!"

Haru shrugged again. "You have no say in this. The next time you meet up with MedEvilGallentmon, he'll be as good as new…no, he'll be better than ever!"

Maro frowned. "Well, fudge."

"We're spearing your lives for now, but next time, you wont be so lucky." Noah announced.

"No way! Finish them off now!" Taichi yelled to Growlmon, but he was stopped when net came down with a dino-digimon inside of it. "Uh-oh."

Ryo's eyes widened. "NO! Snowagumon!"

SnowAgumon whimpered while trying to bite and claw his way free, but no such luck. "Ryo, help me!"

"You took away my digimon, so now I'm taking away yours." Noah stated.

Ryo glared. "You wont get away with this! I'm getting him back! You'll see!"

"Yeah, well, good luck with that." As SnowAgumon disappeared, a portal shinned, ready to take Noah, Haru, and Dobermon through. "See you at practice." Then as they stepped in, they disappeared.

Silence filled the air for a few minutes.

"Well…" Maro started. "That was a waste."

Ryo punched the nearest wall with anger and tears…yes, tears. "Why?! Why did I leave him alone?!"

Matthew gave him a sympathize look. "I'm sorry, Ryo, but it's not your fault."

"Yes, it is!" Ryo snapped. "I left him alone! I thought he could handle it!" He punched the wall again, now his fist bleeding. "SnowAgumon is now a slave and it's all my fault!"

---

As the kids, Lopmon, BlackAgumon, Guilmon, and Terriermon walked away from the castle, Maro just happened to turn around and what he saw shocked him. "Guys, where did the castle go?!" Everyone looked behind them and where the castle they were just in…was gone. "That's crazy!"

Matthew nodded in agreement. Something weird was going on, but they weren't going to worry about that now. "Let's just get back home." He sighed out, checking on Ryo, whose mind was elsewhere.

Then Maro heard a voice he new all too well. "Mommy!" He ran towards the voice of his mother, followed by the rest of the team. "Mommy!"

"Maro!" Finally she came into view and Maro ran to her, not caring how hard he hit her; he just wanted to be held. "My baby!" Taya wrapped her arms around her only son and kissed his head a million times. Aiden smiled next to them, finally being able to see his family safe again.

"Daddy! Mom!" Sakura screamed to her parents, who immediately grabbed onto their little girl. Kanaye headed their way too and joined the hug.

T.K. kissed both their foreheads. "If you ever run off like that again without telling us, we'll kill you!"

Ryo looked for his father, who he had recently felt hatred towards, but after today, he just wanted his dad. "Ryo!" Tai called for him, with Sora by his side.

Ryo gave a tiny smile and walked to them both; being suffocated by them. "Are you okay?!" Sora panicked as soon as she saw his shirt, ripped.

Ryo nodded. "Yeah, mom. I'm okay." Sora smiled and kissed his head. "I love you, mom." He looked to his dad once Sora released him. "I love you too, dad." Tai smiled gratefully and hugged his son again.

"We love you too, son."

Matthew and Taichi saw that EVERYONE was present. Everyone from America to Japan; the digidestend generation family was together again, even only for a little bit. It was still an amazing feeling. "You looked terrified when Dobermon almost killed Kanaye and Sakura." Taichi commented. "You okay?"

Matthew sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I honestly don't know, Romeo."

"Scared the hell out of you, huh?"

"Just a little."

"Me too." Taichi sighed. "Those two are such ditz. Magnets for danger, I'm telling you."

Takeo stepped from the crowd and walked towards the brothers. "You guy alright?"

Taichi and Matthew nodded. "Yeah."

"Good. I want to talk to you." Takeo had them follow him away from everyone a bit. "A little girl told me what's really been going on between you two. Why you guys are fighting."

The twins growled. "Sakura." They whispered.

"I'm sorry for coming back." Takeo said with sad eyes. "I really am."

Matthew sighed. "Don't be sorry for returning, but it's no ones fault really. I should've respected Taichi's wishes for looking up to you. I guess I shouldn't have talked crap about you in front of him."

"But it all comes down to this really, Scope." Taichi spoke up. "I'm sorry for ever saying those hurtful words to you. That probably sucked, like a lot."

Matthew nodded. "It did." He looked to him. "We've been through everything together, Romie. Everything. Through thick and thin. I can't believe it took me almost dying to see that words that you didn't really mean weren't all that important. When we get into another fight, which we both know we will, let's immediately make a truths, because we never know what will happen."

Taichi nodded. "Yup. Exactly."

Everyone stopped talking when they heard an unfamiliar voice. "Hello."

May and Daniel, who's this was their first time being in the digital world, stepped out from the crowd and blinked. "Who the heck are you guys?" Daniel asked, a little on the curious side. May stood next to him with her arms crossed in front of her, waiting for an answer.

A bird/chicken looking digimon, who was about as tall as Daniel, bowed out of respect. "My name is Peckmon."

A tiny frog stepped up and bowed as well. "Hi! I'm Gekomon!" He said cheerfully.

May raised an eyebrow. "So…what do you want?"

"We are the digimon for the next two new digidestend."

"Who's that?"

"You."

"…I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you said me…" May growled, indicating she really didn't want to hear those words come out of his mouth again.

"…um…I'll say it slower then." Gekomon said. "You…are…a…new…digidestend."

Izzy just slapped his forehead and groaned. "Here we go again!"

Mimi smiled brightly. "HEY! This is fabulous!"

May glared at her mom. "How is this fabulous?!" She yelled.

"Another big reason to move back to Japan!"

May threw her cell phone to the grassy ground and stomped her foot. "This is just so wrong in so many ways!"

Daniel smiled. "Are you mine?" He asked Peckmon.

Peckmon smiled back. "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you, Daniel." He greeted while handing over a white digivice to him. "You're the keeper of Bravery."

"Cool!"

May relunctently took her purple digivice from Gekomon. "So I'm guessing you're my digimon partner and this is mine?" Gekomon nodded. "Just peachy."

"And you're the keeper of Kindness."

"…ew."

Preview for Chapter 23: Scream

"Sorry, Sakura, but you're stuck being my partner for ice-skating or just quit. Your choice."

"If you dare lay a finger on me, Ryo, I'll tell the whole world our little secret!"

"I have dreadful news…they're calling us to help the Americans."

"Kari, we have a problem. Sakura's going back into her shy little self again. This is depressing the whole family!"

"You know...when I said we need to do something...I didn't exactly mean run into the car window, Romie."
