6. Epilogue

Alright! Update in the house!

I am back and better than ever! Here we go!

--

Naruto was the first of the group awake, giving off a small yawn before trying to sit up. He then realized there was something lying on his chest and stomach. He looked down to see Hikari using him as a pillow, her new ears twitching every so often. Naruto gave a soft smile as he looked at her, turning to see Tailmon curled up on his stomach. He then noticed both Kyuubi and Renamon at both his sides, leaning against the tree they all were sleeping under.

Naruto gave a quiet sigh, trying to find a way to escape the situtation without waking them when Hikari stirred. She cracked her eyes open, sitting up without knowing who she was sleeping on. As she rubbed the sleep from her, she looked down at Naruto. Naruto simply chuckled nervously as Hikari suddenly went wide-eyed, jumping to her feet and away from Naruto, "Ah! Gomen Naruto-kun! You were just so warm and…"

Naruto simply waved his hand passively, "Don't worry about it, I don't mind. So did you sleep good?"

Hikari smiled, nodding as she picked up Tailmon off Naruto, allowing him to sit up, "Yeah! You were very comfortable to sleep on!"

"Were you now?" Naruto and Hikari jumped, turning to see a grinning Taichi with his arms crossed, "So Hikari was comfortable with you Naruto?"

Naruto chuckled nervously, backing away slowly, but not quickly enough. Taichi quickly put Naruto in a headlock, rubbing his knuckle into Naruto's scalp as Naruto struggled, "You seemed to take a strong liking to my sister." Taichi looked over to Hikari, expecting to be stopped, only to see her looking away while covering her nose, "Hikari, what's wrong?" Taichi asked while letting go of Naruto.

Hikari opened one eye, looking at Taichi, "Onii-chan… You stink."

Taichi only looked at Hikari shocked as Naruto started to laugh, "Her sense of smell picked up while we sleep." Naruto then walked over to Hikari, "Don't worry Hikari-chan, you'll be use to it soon." Hikari gave a nod, still holding her nose as they walked over to the rest of the group.

Naruto continued to laugh as Hikari held her nose, occasionally letting go only to quickly cover it back up again with a look of disgust. This caused questioning looks as the three approached. Naruto simply waved his hand, "Hikari-chan's sense of smell picked up over night. She's just not use to the strong scents of everyone yet. Don't worry about it."

The others nodded, standing and stretching after a good night's sleep. As they did this, enjoying the feeling of being able to relax, Koushiro was busy at work on his laptop while talking with Andromon away from the group. The group noticed this, walking over as Naruto, Hikari, and Takeru started to make a grave for the many Numemon lost to Mugendramon with Hikari leading the pray, "Thank you Numemon. We'll never forget you."

"We'll make sure to save the digital world for you and everyone else who died for us." Takeru finished up, leaving everyone to stand up. Takeru then noticed everyone climbing a nearby hill, "Hey! Wait for us!"

This caused Hikari, Naruto, and Takeru to break into a run towards the hill with their Digimon. When they arrived, they saw the entire group staring at a fortress a good bit away. Naruto then voiced everyone's thoughts, "That's where the last Dark Master is. So we must be on top of Spiral Mountain."

"There is one way to find out." Koushiro said as he hooked up the wires from his laptop to Andromon, "Ready Andromon."

Andromon dropped to his knees, placing his hands on the ground. Everyone moved around Koushiro as a picture of a wire framed spiral mountain appeared on his laptop screen.

A small blinking red light then appeared at the top of the mountain. Koushiro pressed his figure against the screen at the light, "This is where we are. We're at the top of Spiral Mountain."

"But how did we get up here so fast?" Naruto asked, turning to Kyuubi and Renamon only to see them shrug. Then something tripped Naruto's senses, as well as Kyuubi's and Renamon's. Hikari tensed up, being able to feel something was coming but not able to identify it.

Andromon's scan was also tripped by the surprise, "Incoming enemy detected."

An evil high pitched laugh filled the air as a voice filled the air said "Welcome, you adorable little boys." As an evil looking version of Angewomon flew into the air, "You must be tired. Why don't you lie down and rest. For eternity!"

Naruto pulled out his katana, ready to fight when he felt a sudden chill. He turned around to see every female of the group giving Ladydevimon death stares with killer intent rolling off them. Naruto sweat dropped, looking to Kyuubi, "Should we stay out of this one?"

Kyuubi sweat dropped as well, nodding, "That would be your wisest idea yet kit."

Unfortunately, no one else heard the two muttering to each other as Koromon jumped into the air as Taichi held out his digivice, "Koromon!"

"Koromon evolve! Agumon!" Agumon then launched a baby flame fireball at Ladydevimon, only to be effortlessly swatted away.

This was answered by Patamon, Piyomon, and Tentomon evolving to their adult forms. Tailmon super-evolved into Angewomon. Renamon ran by, leaping onto Birdramon as she took off into the air. Taichi noticed Naruto and Kyuubi just standing in place, not moving, "Why aren't you two fighting!?" Taichi shouted from the other side of the group.

"You'll see!" Naruto shouted as he watched Ladydevimon launch her darkness wave attack, sending a wave of dark energy along with an army of bats at the Digimon. After recovering from the attack, all the Digimon launched attack after attack at Ladydevimon, only to see her swat them away.

She then gave an eerie laugh as she taunted the Digimon, "You think those attacks are enough against me?"

"Heaven's Knuckle!" Angemon shouted as he attacked.

Ladydevimon simply dodged, watching Angemon when a shout caught her by surprise, "Holy Arrow!"

Ladydevimon turned just in time to avoid a direct hit from the arrow as it grazed her side. Ladydevimon scowled, charging Angewomon. She then gave Angewomon a powerful smack, sending her back.

Agumon, who recovered from his previous hit, got ready to charge when Taichi held him back, "No Agumon! You're our last resort!"

Agumon relaxed and nodded as Taichi ran over to Naruto, "Naruto! Why aren't you fighting with them?"

Naruto shivered as he felt the same chill from earlier, Taichi also feeling the chill. Naruto simply pointed over his shoulder after that, "I gotta feeling I shouldn't fight this time."

Taichi suddenly nodded, completely understanding the situation before turning to Koushiro, "Koushiro, what does your laptop say about Ladydevimon?"

Koushiro sat down, pulling out his laptop as he put hid digivice into the laptop, "Let's see… Ladydevimon. It says she is Piemon's nightmare soldier. She's the strongest guardian of Piemon."

Taichi scowled at the information, turning to Sora and Takeru, "Sora, Takeru, take Birdramon and Angemon! Go find Yamato and the others!"

"But what about everyone?" Sora asked worriedly.

"We'll be fine." Taichi said before a large crash was heard. The group turned to the fight to see Angewomon and Renamon leaping out of a small crater. The dust cleared showing a slightly beaten Ladydevimon standing up snarling in anger. Taichi turned back to the others smiling, "I think we can handle it. Besides it's not this fight I'm worried about." Everyone looked at Taichi as his face grew serious, "Once Ladydevimon is gone, Piemon is next. We'll need everyone to stop him."

Koushiro smiled as he realized what Taichi meant, "Taichi-san is looking to the last battle."

Sora nodded, "Ok. Birdramon!" Birdramon and Angemon landed near the group, allowing Sora and Takeru to get on. Just before they took off, Sora leaned over from her spot on Birdramon's back, "Be careful everyone!"

Taichi nodded as he waved off Sora and Takeru. As they flew away, a scream was heard drawing everyone's attention. They looked back to the fight to see Ladydevimon throw Angewomon into Renamon. Kabuterimon, seeing this, super-evolved into AtlurKabuterimon. He then caught Angewomon and Renamon, only to hear the two start screaming in his grasp, "Let us go! Let us go!" AtlurKabuterimon complied, letting Angewomon fly at Ladydevimon with Renamon on her back, "It's on now bitch!" (Yes, that was a part of the show. Surprised me too)

Angewomon gave Ladydevimon a hard slap. Renamon then leaped from Angewomon's back, giving Ladydevimon a hard kick to the back, sending her to the ground. Ladydevimon snared, flying to the two seeing as Renamon was still air born, giving them both a hard smack back. This in turn caused the two to retaliate again.

The group could only watch. Taichi, Koushiro, Agumon, Tentomon, and Andromon could only watch wide eyed. Taichi was speechless at the sudden slap fight. Koushiro could only stare, "Women are pretty scary when they're angry…"

Naruto was only scratching the back of his head, "Reminds me of when Sakura-chan and Ino got into that cat fight over the seat next to Sasuke at the academy."

"I was thinking of the time when Iruka made everyone pair up with a sparring partner for a week." Kyuubi said folding his arms.

"Nah. Maybe if there were more girls then maybe." Naruto said as he looked up in a thoughtful matter.

"I guess." Kyuubi said as he relaxed.

Taichi and the others sweated dropped at how casually the two acted with the fight going on. Taichi raised his hand to say something when and the others heard Hikari shouting, "Don't lose to her! Get her! Take her down!" When Hikari wasn't shouting, everyone could hear her giving off an animal like growl while showing off her new canines.

Taichi and the others backed away slightly from Hikari before turning to Naruto, "I blame you for this."

Naruto simply shrugged and nudged towards Kyuubi, "And I blame him."

"Hey!" Kyuubi said, giving Naruto a glare. Naruto could only chuckle, causing everyone except Hikari to sweat drop even more.

Naruto then looked back to the continuing cat fight, noticing something off, "Hey." Everyone except Hikari turned to Naruto as he pointed at Renamon, "How is Renamon flying?"

This broke the camel's back as everyone face faulted to the ground. Everyone's shock was broken when they heard Ladydevimon shout, "Don't get full of yourselves!" She then gave a round house kick to Angewomon, sending her into Renamon then to the ground. Ladydevimon then turned her large arm into a lance, "I got you now! Darkness spear!" Ladydevimon then dived at the two, ready to stab the two in the back.

Angewomon rolled off Renamon, looking up to see Ladydevimon closing in. Ladydevimon smiled evilly, closing in on her prey when AtlurKabuterimon suddenly blocked the way. Ladydevimon wound up hitting his hard shell, breaking her lance.

Angewomon saw this opening along with Renamon, "Hey! Move out of the way!"

"Oh, sorry." AtlurKabuterimon said as he moved, letting Angewomon fly out from the crater.

A light then came from Naruto's digivice as well as the crater, "Renamon evolve! Kyuubimon!" Kyuubimon then leap out of the hole, bouncing off AtlurKabuterimon's legs onto the back of his shell.

Kyuubimon then leap into the air as Angewomon stopped in front of the wounded Ladydevimon, "Playtime is over. Heaven's charm!"

Kyuubimon started to spin rapidly, "Fox flame dragon!"

Kyuubimon's attack combine with Angewomon's, turning it into a large purple dragon with a large main. The dragon charged Ladydevimon, completely obliterating her. Kyuubimon then landed easily, running back to the group as Angewomon and AtlurKabuterimon flew back.

Hikari cheered at the defeat of Ladydevimon, holding her arms out to catch Tailmon after she de-evolved back to normal along with the others. Tailmon gave a sigh after landing in Hikari's arms, glad the fight was over. Tentomon was standing in front of Koushiro, trying to look at his back, "Koushiro-han, you don't see a mark on my back, do you?"

Koushiro bent over Tentomon smiling, checking his back. Taichi, Naruto, Agumon, Kyuubi, and Renamon were the only ones not celebrating, watching the approaching shadow from a distance. Taichi's eyes narrowed at the sight, "Someone's coming."

Everyone stopped, facing the same direction as Taichi and the others. Naruto readied his katana as Taichi pulled out his mini-telescope. After looking at the shadow, he lowered his telescope and scowled, "It's Piemon."

"The last one." Naruto said with a sly grin, "I don't know why but I'm looking forward to this!"

Kyuubi smiled as well, cracking his paw knuckles, "I feel the same way kit."

Taichi looked at the two, "Alright, this is the last fight. Be careful you two." Taichi then turned to Agumon, "Let's do this Agumon."

Agumon nodded as Taichi's digivice gave off a flash, "Agumon warp-evolve! Wargreymon!"

Wargreymon prepared for battle, entering a stance along with Naruto and Kyuubi.

Piemon stopped a distance from the group, scanning them before chuckling, "Is this all? Where are the other chosen children?" No one answered, everyone tensing as they faced Piemon. Piemon only chuckled more, "Very well. I will start with you."

Wargreymon didn't waste any time after this, leaping into the air with his claw reared back, "Dramon Killer!" Wargreymon then made many swipes at Piemon, only to have them miss as Piemon dodged each attack. Kyuubi took Piemon's distraction to his advantage as he leaped above Piemon, "Fox Fire!"

Piemon smirked, taking the attack only to come out unfazed. What he didn't notice was Naruto appearing behind him until a katana came through his chest. He turned around in pain to see Naruto smiling. Piemon then smiled, "Try again." Piemon then dissolved into paper. Naruto looked around in shock with Wargreymon and Kyuubi. An evil laugh caught their attention, causing them to turn around.

The moment they turned around, Piemon grabbed the hilt of his swords, "Trump Sword!" Piemon then threw the swords at lightning speed. The three managed to dodge as Piemon continued to laugh, "I am disappointed with you Chosen Children. How you managed to get to my home with such childish attacks is beyond me."

Wargreymon answered this by leaped into the air before spinning rapidly, "Brave Tornado!" Wargreymon then charged Piemon, only to have Piemon jumped over him, leaving him to crash into the rock behind Piemon.

Piemon smirked as he heard a sound from behind him. He looked behind him to see Naruto charging him with a blue sphere in his hand. Naruto closed in on Piemon, thrusting the sphere toward Piemon, "Rasengan!" Piemon simply grabbed Naruto's wrist, throwing him into Wargreymon. Naruto managed to power down his Rasengan when he was thrown, only leaving a small mark on Wargreymon's shield. Naruto sat up as the dust clear, rubbing his head before looking at Wargreymon, "Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it." Wargreymon as he stood back up.

Naruto nodded, turning back to Piemon only to have Kyuubi thrown into him, badly injured. Naruto managed to catch him, crouching down as Kyuubi cracked an eye open, "S-Sorry… He got me when I was distracted…"

Naruto scowled at Piemon, jumping high into the air, landing near the group. He then looked back to Kyuubi, "Don't worry about it. Just rest now." Kyuubi nodded, knowing he wouldn't be of any help now. Naruto sat him down, looking to the still tired Renamon, "Renamon, look after him." Renamon nodded as Naruto ran back to the fight.

Piemon looked back to Naruto, seeing his eyes turn red. Piemon's smirk turned into a frown, "That could be a problem. I'd better take care of it now." Piemon pulled out what looked like a pin-wheel and head it out to Naruto. The pin-wheel started to spin rapidly, catching Naruto's eye. The second he looked at it, Naruto felt his eyelids grow heavy. Before anyone knew what happened, Naruto fell over unconscious.

"Naruto-kun!" Hikari shouted, about to run to him when Renamon stopped her.

Renamon lowered her arm, "I'll get him, watch over Kyuubi-san." Renamon then ran off to Naruto, scoping him up and bring him back to the group. Wargreymon landed between them and Piemon, in case he tried another attack. As Renamon set Naruto down, she tried to wake him, "Naruto! Naruto! Wake up!"

The others surrounded the two, checking on Naruto. Hikari kneeled next to Naruto, placing a hand on his cheek only to feel him sleeping, "Why won't he wake up?"

"He'll never awaken." Everyone turned to Piemon as he smiled, "I placed him in a never ending nightmare where his worse fears come to life. He'll never awaken unless you defeat me. I decided to eliminate the only real threat to me."

Taichi scowled, grabbing his digivice, "You monster!"

Piemon only smiled, "Why thank you. Now my gift to you. Toy Wonderness!" Piemon then launched a wave of energy from his hand towards Taichi. Wargreymon quickly blocked the attack, withstanding the attack for Taichi. The force was enough to send Taichi back however. Piemon sent another wave, causing Taichi to crouch down to avoid from being blown away.

Koushiro rush towards Taichi seeing him in danger. Taichi however, stopped him from coming, "Koushiro! Stay back! Take care of the others!"

"Taichi-san! I know it's important to protect everyone! But at this rate, you will!" Koushiro said worriedly, not wanting to finish.

Koushiro's sentence was also cut short by the scream of Naruto, who was rolling around in agony clenching his shirt. Sweat rolled down his brow as he thrashed around, despite Hikari holding him.

"See! They need you more than I do! Just let me take care of this!" Taichi said before looking back to Piemon.

Piemon brought his hands together, aiming it at Wargreymon, "Ending Snipe!" A more concentrated bullet of energy was launched directly into Wargreymon's armor, shattering it to pieces. Wargreymon, unable to take anymore, collapsed on the spot. The after force of the attack hit Taichi, forcing him to the ground in pain.

Taichi managed to get on his hands, crawling to Wargreymon, "War-War… G-Greymon…" Taichi then collapsed as his strength left him.

Piemon only chuckled before turning to the others, "Who's next?

What seemed like his victory was cut short however as everyone heard someone shout, "Taichi!" The group turned to the sound of the voice to see Yamato on Garurumon, rushing towards them, "Taichi!"

Piemon, seeing the rest of the group, leap back towards his fortress, stopping on a tall rock, "They make a late entrance. But no matter. The ending results will be the same either way."

Yamato leaped of Garurumon, who stopped near him. He lifted Taichi's head of the ground as Taichi laughed, "You're finally here. I waited all this time for you to get here." Taichi then smirked at Yamato, "I believed you would."

Yamato was forming tears at Taichi's words, "Thank you for believing in me. But I'm sorry I was so late. Taichi, you're my true friend! I won't let your friendship be in vain!" As soon as Yamato finished those words, his crest gave off a bright light. While this was happening, Garurumon nudged Wargreymon with his nose. This caused a flash of light, blinding everyone until it faded away. There where the light was stood a fully rejuvenated Wargreymon.

Garurumon stood next to Wargreymon with a smile, "Yamato's Crest of Friendship gave me the power to restore Wargreymon back to life."

Wargreymon looked to Garurumon after checking himself, "Thank you Garurumon. Now I can fight again!" Garurumon then turned back into Gabumon as Taichi and the others rejoined with Koushiro, Hikari, and their Digimon.

Yamato, Sora, Takeru, and Jyou all looked at Naruto after setting Taichi. He was still unconscious, thrashing around as if in a nightmare. Jyou quickly crouched next to, "What's wrong with Naruto?"

"It's Piemon!" Hikari said, still crouched next to him, "He did a strange attack and Naruto suddenly fell asleep. And he won't wake up not matter what we do!"

"Let me try." Everyone turned to see Kyuubi stand up and walk towards Naruto. He knelt down, placing his paw on to Naruto's head. He closed his eyes, starting to meditate only to have his hand suddenly shocked. Kyuubi pulled his hand away in pain, scowling, "Damn… Naruto's fear closed his own mind off to everyone! No one can wake him unless we stop Piemon!"

"Then we'd better hurry!" Yamato said standing back up, "Gabumon!"

"Gabumon warp-evolve! MetalGarurumon!"

Piemon only laughed, "I was going to end you quickly, but now I will enjoy tormenting you slowly." Piemon then threw the swords on his back again, "Trump Sword!"

Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon fired back combining their attacks together. The swords were destroyed, leaving Piemon slightly surprised as he avoided the attack. The surprise didn't last long as Piemon smiled, "It looks like I can finally enjoy a stimulating battle."

"Wargreymon, MetalGarurumon. All of this will be over once we beat Piemon!" Taichi said.

Piemon simply raised his arms above his head as he said in a calm manner, "But can you defeat me?" He then laughed as a ring of fire formed from his arms and flew into the air.

"We will!" MetalGarurumon shouted as he leaped at Piemon. He was stopped by Piemon's ring of fire however as it wrapped around his stomach, burning MetalGarurumon as he dropped to the ground.

Wargreymon rushed over to MetalGarurumon, only to turn to Piemon as he said, "This one's for you."

The ground erupted and rose into a large ball under Wargreymon's feet. Wargreymon tried to keep balance on the ball, only to fall onto MetalGarurumon. Piemon only laughed at the two, enjoying the humor he was making for himself.

Koushiro watched before turning to Taichi, "He's toying with us, Taichi-san!"

Taichi stayed calm, "Put a hold on backup until I say the word."

"Yeah." Yamato said, agreeing with Taichi, "Let's gauge the situation first. Piemon already took one of us down." Yamato looked over to Naruto, who still had Kyuubi, Renamon, and Hikari around him, trying to keep him still anyway they could.

Piemon's voice drew Yamato's attention again, "I think it's time to put an end to this." He then drew more swords that reappeared in the sheathes on his back, "Trump Sword!"

The swords then vanished, reappearing every few seconds to show they were circling around the two. "Be careful!" Taichi shouted to the two, "We don't know where they will appear at!"

As Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon continued the fight with Piemon, Kyuubi, Renamon, and Hikari were still trying to wake up Naruto. Hikari was letting Naruto rest his head in her lap were as Kyuubi had noted that her presence seem to calm Naruto some, "Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! Wake up!"

"It's no use." Kyuubi said as he opened his eyes and removed his hand from Naruto's head, "Every time I try to push through, Naruto starts to get worse. I'm afraid if I push too hard, he's fears might get to him and cause him to snap."

"There's nothing we can do!?" Renamon asked as she watched Naruto. Her face was calm, but on the inside she was thinking, "He's my partner and I can't even keep him safe!"

"The only thing we can do is defeat Piemon." Kyuubi then quickly grabbed Renamon's wrist, seeing as she had stood up as soon as he finished, "No. If you go and fight now, you'll just get in the way. I hate to say it, but we're useless right now. We can only go to adult form, and that's nowhere near enough to stop that clown. All we can do is put our faith in the others."

Kyuubi then turned to the fight in time to see Piemon pull out a white cloth. "What?" Jyou asked as he watched Piemon, "Does that white flag mean he's surrendering?"

"No, that was too easy…" Kyuubi said as he as glared at Piemon as Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon charged Piemon.

Piemon confirmed Kyuubi's suspicion as he threw the white cloth into the air. The cloth then grew four times in size, being large enough to cover Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon. As the cloth covered the two, it let out a crackle of dark energy before Wargreymon's and MetalGarurumon's shape disappeared from the cloth, leaving it to fall flat.

This caused Taichi and Yamato to panic about their friends as they ran over to the cloth. The two didn't see the cloth coming when it covered them, the same crackle of dark energy. The cloth then fell flat, making it seem nothing was ever there.

Piemon then jumped between the two clothes, tossing them into the air, showing nothing was under them. "What did you do with Taichi-san and the others!?"

"Why they're right here." Piemon said as he opened his hand, showing Taichi and Yamato dolls. "These fellows too." Piemon then showed Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon.

"H-He turned them into dolls!" Sora stated in shock, her shocked expression on the others as well.

"Yeah." Piemon said as he held the dolls on display, "As a reward for putting up a good fight, I've made them a part of my collection." Piemon then laughed as he attached the dolls to his side, "Now who's next.

"We have to leave!" Kyuubi said as he picked up Naruto, "We need to regroup and come up with a plan to get Taichi and the others back! Now move!" Kyuubi then ran with Naruto on his back with Renamon right behind him. The others looked back to Piemon, who was now walking to them with another cloth.

Seeing the situation turn against them, the group followed Kyuubi and Renamon. Andromon didn't follow standing his ground, "I will stop Piemon!" He then turned to Piemon, his left hand turning into a spinning blade, "Spiral Sword!" Andromon then launched a small electric blade at Piemon. Piemon simply blocked it with the two Trump Swords he was now wielding. The two then started to duel as the group made their way into a cave.

As they entered the cave, Hikari stopped, "Kyuubi-san!" Kyuubi stopped, looking over to the young girl as she ran up next to him, "Take Naruto-kun somewhere safe until we wakes up!"

Kyuubi turned to protest, but seeing the look in Hikari's eye made him understand, "…Fine. We'll find you after he wakes up. Renamon, come on!" Renamon nodded, following Kyuubi away from the cave.

Sora looked at Kyuubi then Hikari, "Hikari-chan, why did you…?"

"Naruto-kun is the strongest out of all of us right now." Hikari said as the group resumed running down the cave, "When he wakes up, Piemon won't know what hit him!"

(Ok, now it's going to go between the group when people get captured and Naruto's dream)

Naruto's dream:

Naruto sat in place, darkness surrounding him, "W-Why… Why did I have to leave?" Naruto thought as a light shined ahead.

Naruto didn't bother looking up, knowing what it would be as a voice was heard, "Naruto."

Naruto looked up at the voice to see Jiraiya and Tsunade standing next to each other, "You're no longer needed here Naruto." Jiraiya said with his arms crossed.

"Such a shame." Tsunade said as she walked up to him, "You worked soooo hard… Only to be cast aside like a piece of trash. Oh well, you aren't needed anyway. Come Jiraiya, Sasuke needs training."

"NO!" Naruto shouted, trying to stand only to be felt like something was holding him down as the two walked into the darkness.

Another light then lit behind Naruto, "Dobe."

Naruto whipped around to see Sasuke standing behind him. This time Naruto was able to stand, staring at Sasuke in shock, "S-Sasuke…"

Back with the group:

Jyou was about to push Koushiro on the circus swing to cross the huge craves found in the cave. Tailmon had used her cat grace to help everyone cross, the swings being the only way for those who couldn't fly. Jyou pulling Koushiro back when a voice said from behind him, "You won't be going far."

Jyou turned around to see Piemon holding an Andromon doll. Jyou looked in fear, quickly pushing Koushiro, "Go, Koushiro!" Jyou wasn't quick enough however as Piemon throws two clothes over Jyou and Koushiro.

Tentomon, seeing the cloth cover Koushiro, flies at Piemon in anger, "How dare you do that to Koushiro-han!"

Piemon simply threw another cloth at Tentomon, easily covering him as Tentomon flew at him, "Caught one, two, and three! It's useless to flee!"

The group scowled at Piemon before running down the cave away from Piemon. As they ran Hikari looked back, "Naruto-kun, please hurry!"

Naruto's Dream:

"Why were you even here dobe?" Sasuke asked as he crossed his arms, his curse mark suddenly spreading, "You're nothing but a worthless dead last who got in my way. Because of you I can't kill my brother! You took my dream away! It was only right I took away yours."

"Sasuke… you…?" Naruto asked, shocked at what he was hearing.

"Yes. I made the council banish you. They are always willing to listen to that last Uchiha. As the demon that nearly destroyed Konoha twelve years ago, you should be grateful you even left alive!"

"I'm not a demon!" Naruto shouted as Sasuke chuckled.

The curse mark then covered Sasuke's body as his wings sprouted out of his back, "Then why are you parentless?" Sasuke then went through hand signs, "Why are you hated!?" A black Chidori appeared in his hand as he grabbed Naruto's throat, "Why are you alone!!?"

As Sasuke plunged the Chidori forward, a voice suddenly bombed, "Be gone illusion!" A bright flash lit the area around the two, causing Sasuke to disappear.

Naruto looked up in shock as a floating orb in front of him, "Wh… What are…?"

"Uzumaki Naruto. It appears I have miss judged you. To late your fears control you so easily." The orb spoke as it floated.

Naruto glared at the orb, "What are you!?"

"I am the Will of Fire!" The orb shouted, letting off a flash of light.

Back with the others:

"Holy Arrow!" Angewomon shouted as she shot a sword out of Piemon's hand, "Run Hikari!"

"Hurry, Sora!" Garudamon shouted as she distracted Piemon "Shadow Wing!"

Piemon simply jumped away, avoiding the attack easily. Garudamon followed up her attack with a kick, sending her talons through the wooden floor. Piemon took this time to throw a cloth over her before pinning Angewomon to the wall with his swords. He then covered her with a cloth."

Naruto's dream:

"What are you doing here!?" Naruto asked, staring at the orb in shock.

"I'm here to stop your fears from stopping you, you imbecile!" The Will sudden shouted, causing a shock wave that blew Naruto back.

"What do you mean fears? I'm not afraid of anything!" Naruto shouted back as he sat up.

"Then recall how this memory began." The Will demanded.

Naruto frowned as he looked down scowling.

Flashback:

Naruto awoke in a hospital bed. He sat up rubbing his head, "Was it all a dream?" He then saw everyone was in the room, all facing the door, "Hey everyone!" Everyone turned around, only except the happy faces he was expecting, were angry glares, "Uhh… What happened?"

"The demon's awake."

"Not for long it's not."

"Kill it now!"

Naruto looked in fear as his friends closed in with kunai when everything vanished. Naruto hit the ground, looking around to see nothing but darkness with a light appeared. He looked to the light to see Sakura standing in front of him, "Naruto-kun."

Naruto quickly hopped to his feet smiling, "Sakura-chan! Do you know where we are and why the lights are out?"

"Naruto-kun, you remember that date you asked for?" Sakura asked in a sweet voice.

"Yeah." Naruto said nervously, suddenly having a bad feeling seeing as Sakura only used that voice when she was about to hurt him.

"Well I'll have to pass this time." Sakura said with her hands behind her back.

"Ok…" Naruto said in a depressed voice before cheering up, "Wait you'll go on a date with me!?"

"Yeah, right after…" As Sakura said this, Naruto suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down to see a kunai sticking in his out of his chest. He followed the kunai, then the hand holding it, up to Sakura as she said in a cheery voice, "Right after you die you demon!"

"W-Why?" Naruto wheezed out.

Sakura answered this by pulling the kunai out and stabbing Naruto again in the throat, "You don't have a right to talk demon! You took my father away! And my grandparents! Just roll over and burn in hell where you belong!!!"

Sakura then disappeared, only to be replaced with Kakashi who was holding a Chidori in his hand, "This is for my Sensei demon!"

Naruto tried to move, only to feel tied down. He then felt the Chidori tearing into his chest for the second time of his life. Kakashi soon vanished as well, the light going along with them.

Another light came from Naruto's left. Naruto closed his eyes in pain, only to open them to see no wounds. But he could still feel the pain of every stab inflicted onto him. He looked to the left to see Gaara grinning at him madly, "Uzumaki Naruto. You're just like me." Gaara's sand then poured around him, "You're a monster like me!"

Gaara then turned into Shikaku, lifting his large sandy claw, "But I will prove my existences my ending yours!"

Just before Naruto was crushed, Shikaku vanished. Then Naruto dropped to his knees, "Why… Why did I have to leave?"

End of Flashback:

"Pathetic." The Will huffed, "To let these petty fears not only control you but your power!"

"What do you mean mess with my power…" Naruto said in a depressed tone, clearly making it more of a statement instead of a question.

"I mean both Kyuubi's power and my own!" The Will boomed, "My power is controlled by your determination! My not giving in to the pains of life you grow stronger! But losing the will to live makes you powerless!"

"What!? I'm not suicidal!" Naruto shouted at the Will.

"Then why are you alone here!!!" The Will shouted back, shocking Naruto.

With the group:

Sora stared down at Gomamon as he depressingly made his way back to Hikari, Takeru, and Patamon, only to stop when Piemon came bursting through the wall, "Don't use your time wisely to run, I see." Piemon then held up his Garudamon and Angewomon dolls, "It's only a matter of time before you dolls yourselves."

"That won't happen!" Gomamon shouted as he leaped at Piemon and snatched Yamato's doll, "Sora, catch!"

Sora caught the doll, turning to Takeru, "Takeru-kun!"

Takeru caught the doll, also seeing Sora and Gomamon turn into dolls. He looked at the doll to see it was Yamato. Takeru, seeing Piemon holding Sora and Gomamon, ran down the hall with Hikari and Patamon.

With Kyuubi and Renamon:

"What do you think is happening?" Renamon asked as she rested Naruto's head on her lap.

Kyuubi studied Naruto, seeing he had calmed down greatly. His crest was also glowing dimly as he rested. He could only shake his head, "I don't know Renamon. I can only hope Naruto knows what he's doing in that head of his."

Naruto's Dream:

"Ok! I'm afraid of being along again!" Naruto said as he sat down.

"That is not the fear I mean." The Will said in a calm voice, "If you were truly afraid of being alone, then it would be only that. People leaving you alone. Not them trying to wreck everything you lived for."

"I don't have anything to live for…" Naruto muttered as the memories of him leaving Konoha flooded his mind.

"What about Hikari?" The Will said, getting Naruto's attention, "And Kyuubi, Renamon, and Taichi. Are they not worth living for?"

Naruto simply hung his head, "I… I just…" The Will floated patiently awaiting Naruto's answer, "I just don't want to lose everything again…"

"You will if you don't over come your fear. Piemon is winning the fight as we speak." The Will spoke, starting to glow brighter.

"What!?" Naruto shouted as he jumped to his feet, "Why are we still talking? Let's go!" Naruto then ran away from the Will, only to smack into a barrier.

"You can't escape with your own strength." Naruto turned to the Will as it explained, "Piemon placed you here. Your strength can not break his attack."

"Then help me out here!" Naruto shouted as he started to try and break the barrier.

"No." Naruto whipped around to the Will as it said, "I see I was hasty in my judgment of you Uzumaki. You must prove yourself to me if you want my help."

"Now!?" Naruto shouted as he clenched his fist, "Can't you help me stop Piemon first!?"

"Then you have motivation." The Will said as the darkness started to concentrate into a dark cloud, "You prove yourself to me." The cloud started to take a human shape, "Or I awake you just in time so you can watch them perish." The shape was now recognizable, causing Naruto to gasp, "By defeating your fear." Naruto stood there, looking at the shadow creature, himself.

The shadow Naruto looked like Naruto in every way except color, being completely black with pure red eyes. The shadow Naruto unsheathed his katana, holding it battle ready.

Naruto sighed, seeing no way out of his situation as he unsheathed his katana, "So to leave I gotta beat myself… irony." Naruto then pointed his katana at his shadow, "Let's get this over with!"

Naruto the charged at his shadow, only to have his shadow mimic his action. The two clashed, holding each other in place. Naruto saw he wasn't going to get anywhere, so he jumped back before swinging at his shadow's head. Again, the shadow mimicked, stopping Naruto's second attack.

Naruto scowled, breaking the parry before swing to the left, only to fake and thrust at the last second. Again, the shadow mimicked. This ticked Naruto off as he stabbed his katana into the ground, forming a Rasengan, "Copy this you teme!"

The shadow did, mimicking Naruto's every movement. The two clashed, the energy from their attacks lashing out at everything around them before exploding. Naruto landed on his feet, panting slightly, "What gives! All he does is copy me!"

"To beat your fear, you must change yourself." The Will stated, "As to what to change, you must figure out that yourself."

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked the Will, taking his eyes off his shadow. His shadow took this chance, lunging at the real Naruto and cutting his stomach deeply.

Naruto leap back, now holding his bleeding stomach with one hand, "I don't get it. He can predict me, but I can't even read him!" The shadow attacked again, trying to stab the real Naruto through the head.

Naruto managed to duck despite the pain in his stomach, only losing a few hairs. The shadow acted on a dime however, swinging his shadow katana up around into an uppercut swing. Naruto couldn't dodge this one as the edge nicked his forehead, knocking him back as well as knocking of his hitai-ate. As Naruto flew through the air, he saw his hitai-ate flipping over as it flew by, showing the large cut going through the leaf symbol, "What… What is it…?"

Naruto's eyes started to close as he braced for the ground, "What do I need to change…?" Naruto hit the ground with his hitai-ate next to him. He looked at it before looking back up to see his shadow leaning over him. His shadow simply raised its katana before stabbing Naruto in the same place Sasuke did with Chidori. Naruto screamed in pain as it felt like a million knives entering his shoulder. Naruto cracked his eye open, looking at his shadow. That's when he saw it, the thing he needed to change, "H-His Hitai-ate… It isn't cut. He's still loyal to Konoha!" Naruto then widened his eyes in shock, "I'm still loyal to Konoha! I'm still hoping for the chance to return… even if it means leaving everyone here… Can I leave them? The people who accepted me from the start…?"

Naruto then closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as his answer came. His shadow watched him curiously, expecting a trick. The shadow was surprised as Naruto suddenly grabbed the katana in his shoulder, pulling it out despite his shadow trying to hold it in.

His shadow, seeing Naruto wouldn't let it stay, quickly pulled out his katana and leap away from Naruto. Naruto panted as he stood up, spitting a small bit of blood from his mouth. He then bent back down and grabbed his hitai-ate, "I get it now." Naruto straighten himself up, looking up at the darkness, "All this time I was hoping I could go to what use to be my home. That I'd have another chance to go back to Konoha without realizing it. That's why I'm afraid of losing everything again. If I do get the chance, I lose everyone I gained here in the small time I was here. If I don't, then I would have to say good-bye to a part of my life."

"Good." The Will said as it floated to Naruto, "Now the question is, what is more important? Saying good-bye to what you gained here or finally leaving behind the past that no longer binds you?"

"I already said good-bye once." Naruto said as he held out his hitai-ate, "So now I just gotta start walking. Starting with my first step!" Naruto then crushed his hitai-ate in his hand, "I love everyone I left behind, and I know I'll find away to see them again. But I can't hold on to that. If I do, I'll miss out on everything right in front of me won't I" Naruto said with a smile as everyone's image appeared in his mind

His shadow didn't move, still holding out his katana. Naruto smirked, grabbing his own before turning to his shadow, "I'm no longer going to cling onto the past. I still have friends, people who won't leave me." Naruto then charge his shadow, thrusting his katana straight through it. The shadow didn't try to block, or even dodge. It only smiled as it faded away.

The Will hovered in place as if smirking, "Good. You have past my test. Now we can go help your friends!"

Naruto nodded, walking into the darkness before stopping, "How much of Kyuubi's chakra can I use without going psychotic?"

"Three tails at the most." The Will said, "But you will still have a hard time telling friend from foe."

"That's why I need your help." Naruto said as he turned back to the orb that is the Will, "Can I combine your power with Kyuubi's?"

"Yes. But you it will feel most unpleasant afterward."

Naruto nodded before smiling, "Will-san. Thank you!" Naruto, for one of the few moments in his life, showed respect as he bowed to the Will of Fire. He then straightened up, "Now, will you help me save me friends?"

"Naruto. You've proven yourself to me again. My power is yours!" The Will then gave a bright flash as Naruto let three tails of Kyuubi spike. The energies mixed, turning the darkness around Naruto in a sphere of light.

Outside Naruto's mind:

Kyuubi and Renamon were shielding their eyes as Naruto became as bright as the sun. The two backed away from the light before suddenly swelling with power.

"Kitsumon evolve! ChaosKyuubimon!"

"Renamon evolve! Kyuubimon!"

"ChaosKyuubimon super-evolve!"

"Kyuubimon super-evolve!"

With Hikari, Takeru, and Patamon a few minutes before Naruto awakes: (ha-ha I'm evil :P)

Hikari, Takeru, and Patamon were standing on a large balcony, trying to find a way down. Takeru was leaning on the railing, looking down the cliff below, "We've got no other choice but to climb down."

Hikari then leaned over, gasping at the distance, "I-It's too high! I-I can't, I'll slip and fall!"

Takeru then jumped off the railing, "But there's no way to climb up." Takeru then spotted a basket a few feet away from them, "What's this?" He asked as he lifted the lid. Takeru gasped happily as he saw what was inside, "It's a rope! We can use this too climb down!"

The rope had other ideas, as it started lifting into the air. Hikari followed the rope with her gaze as it went up, "What is this? How far is it going?"

Takeru stared at the rope for a minute, "It keeps going up." Takeru then grabbed the rope, giving it a hard tug, "The rope is okay. It's keeping steady." Takeru then let go, looking at Hikari, "Climb up Hikari-san!"

Hikari nodded, quickly climbing up the rope with Takeru right behind her. They continued to climb until an explosion shook the rope. Hikari and Takeru looked down to see the door separating them from Piemon nothing but rubble with Piemon standing there laughing.

Patamon knew what he had to do, flying back down past Takeru, "I'll stop Piemon!" Takeru's digivice then flashed with light, "Patamon evolve! Angemon!" Angemon then flew down to Piemon, starting a duel much like with Andromon.

Angemon fared much better however, getting a hit on Piemon's face when Piemon threw a sword at him. Angemon then followed up with a slam to the stomach, sending Piemon flying to the ground. Angemon then leaped into the air with his fist glowing, "Heaven's Knuckle!"

The attack closed in on Piemon, looking like it was about to hit. But Piemon suddenly raised his arms making a force field, sending Angemon's attack back at him. Piemon then leap to his feet, sending a wave of dark energy at Angemon as he fell. Before he could recover from Piemon's second attack, Piemon threw his Trump Swords into Angemon, sending him spiraling into the ground down the cliff.

Piemon then threw a sword at the rope above Hikari and Takeru separating them from their escape route. Piemon started climbing the rope after the two, "I thought I told you that there's nowhere left to run." Piemon then noticed something was off as he started counting the dolls on his side. Piemon then looked back at the two children. He started to laugh, "Ah, trying to hide the only possible threat to me huh? Well no matter. I'll find him eventually, seeing as no one can awaken him unless I'm defeated!"

Piemon then grabbed Takeru's ankle, scaring the two seeing him appear near them so fast. Takeru looked up when he felt Hikari grab his hand, "Let go of my hand! He'll get you too Hikari-san!"

"No! I'm never letting go!" Hikari said as she tightened her grip.

"Then fall together!" Piemon said as he cut the rope holding them up. The two then plummeted to the digital earth below. The force of the fall along with the wind was enough to separate Hikari's grip from Takeru, causing her to fall away.

(Here it comes! This all happens at the same time. The Chain of Events that unfold)

Takeru reached for Hikari, only to see he couldn't make it. He then looked to Yamato, who was still a doll attached to his backpack. Takeru took the doll into his hand, "Onii-chan!"

Yamato's voice then sounded in Takeru's head, "Takeru! Don't give up! As my younger brother, I know you'll never give up no matter what happens! You've got to hang in there and summon all of your strength!"

"Onii-chan…" Takeru thought as his face grew serious, "I won't give up! I'll never give up! If we die, this world… and our world will both be destroyed! That's why we can't give up!" Takeru's crest the started to glow as he shouted "Angemon!"

Takeru's crest and digivice both lit up as a shout was heard, "Angemon super-evolve! HolyAngemon!"

--

"I already said good-bye once." Naruto said as he held out his hitai-ate, "So now I just gotta start walking. Starting with this!" Naruto then crushed his hitai-ate in his hand.

--

Hikari was afraid as she saw Takeru get further away. Then an image flashed in her mind of Piemon, or more specifically, the dolls on his side. That's when she noticed, he didn't have Naruto and his Digimon. Hikari then did the only thing she could do. She yelled, "NARUTO-KUN!!!"

(And so it begins. For Kyuubi's Perfect level digiform, look at my profile image.)

As Angemon evolved, a loud explosion was heard. Hikari and Piemon turned to the explosion to see a column of golden light erupt from the ground. The top of the column turned into a giant fox head as it sudden changed course, heading straight from Hikari. Hikari could only stare at the light as it engulfed her.

"Hikari-san!" Takeru shouted as he was caught by HolyAngemon.

The light crashed into the ground, causing a whirlwind of dust and dirt. Hikari had her eyes closed as the dust cleared, slowly opening them expecting to hit the ground when someone asked, "Are you ok Hikari-chan?"

Hikari looked up to see she was in Naruto's arms, him begin the source of light. She could only stare, a small blush forming as she nodded. Naruto was surrounded by Kyuubi's chakra, only instead of crimson, it was a brilliant gold with two chakra tails with his own tail wrapped and his own crest glowing brightly, his eyes also being gold. Naruto set her on her feet, looking up to Takeru and HolyAngemon, "Hikari-chan, where is everyone else?"

Hikari snapped out of her daze seeing as she was staring at Naruto the entire time. She looked down at the ground, "Piemon caught them. He turned them into dolls and is holding onto them…"

"Ok. Taomon! Byakkomon! Let's go!" Naruto said. He then picked Hikari back up bridal style again, getting a squeal of surprise before he suddenly disappeared from the ground along with Taomon and Byakkomon. (In case you haven't connected the dots yet, no offence, Byakkomon is Kyuubi.)

Takeru and HolyAngemon looked around is shock before turning to the balcony, having heard a scream of pain. There they saw Piemon thrown off the balcony with Naruto standing on the railing, holding both Hikari and all the dolls in his hands. Naruto then signal to HolyAngemon to land back at the bottom of the cliff. HolyAngemon did just that, getting startled since as soon as he landed, Naruto reappeared in front of him. He set Hikari back on her feet, then set the dolls down on the ground.

Hikari simply stood in place, still staring at Naruto as he turned to HolyAngemon, "Can you heal them?"

HolyAngemon nodded as his top back wings glowed, "Holy Disinfection!" A rainbow colored light came from HolyAngemon's wings, shining down onto the dolls. The dolls then started to shine before everyone returned to normal. They looked over themselves as Taichi voiced their thoughts, "You guys… We're all back to normal!"

"Onii-chan!" A dual scream shouted at Taichi and Yamato. Taichi and Yamato turned to see Takeru and Hikari running to them happily before hugging them. As the four had their reunion, the others were checking out Naruto, Taomon, Kyuubi, and HolyAngemon.

Tentomon flew up to the three perfect level Digimon, "Whoa, when did you three evolve?"

"Just recently." Kyuubi said smiling. He then noticed the looks Naruto was getting from some of the group. Kyuubi could only chuckle at their fearful expression, "Don't worry." The group turned to Kyuubi, knowing the voice only to gasp at his new form, "Kit is in full control. There's no need to fear him now."

That caught Hikari's ear as she, Taichi, Yamato, and Takeru walked up to them, "What happened to Naruto-kun?"

"I honestly can't say." Kyuubi said as he looked back to Naruto, "Kit hasn't said much since he woke up. All I can say is he found his resolve."

"His resolve…" Koushiro said before looking at Taomon and Kyuubi. He then pulled out his laptop, plugging in his digivice into the slot.

Kyuubi sweat dropped as Taomon realized what Koushiro was doing, "Do you mind? It feels like an invasion of privacy!"

Taomon's answer was everyone crowding around Koushiro and his laptop, which didn't end well as many of the Digimon had evolved. Kyuubi could only shake his head before seeing Naruto still had his cloak active and was staring off into the distance, "Kit, what's wrong."

Naruto's ears twitched before he snapped his gaze to his left. Everyone looked in the direction Naruto turned too to see Piemon walking up to them, clearly not happy, "I intended to be merciful and keep you as dolls instead of killing you, but you must really want to die! Very Well! I'll give you what you wish for!" Piemon then raised his arm with a yell. Hundreds of little imp like Digimon with bat wings on their heads, surrounding the group.

Naruto simply stared at Piemon as he heard Tentomon panic, "They're crawling all over the place! What are these guys!?"

"Evilmon." Naruto heard Koushiro say, "They're adult level virus Digimon."

"In other words…" Naruto said, getting everyone's attention, "No threat at all." Naruto started to step forward, surprising both Piemon and the Evilmon, "Taomon, Kyuubi, you wanna help me or have fun with the Evilmon?"

Taomon and Kyuubi looked around at the Evilmon and smiled, "We'll take the Evilmon with the others."

Naruto nodded, looking back to Piemon when he heard Hikari run up to him, "Naruto-kun!" Naruto turned to her as she grabbed his arm, "You can't fight Piemon alone!"

"Who said anything about fighting alone?" Was all Naruto said calmly with a smile, "I'm not alone. Not anymore."

Hikari's eyes widened when he said that before she smiled, understanding, "Ok. Let's fight together!"

"Wait!" This caught everyone's attention, causing them to the sound of the voice. There they saw Mimi riding a Pegasus like Digimon with Lilimon flying next to her, "Don't forget about me." Everyone then noticed Ogremon, Meramon, and Yukidarumon

What Lilimon then said made Naruto, Hikari, Kyuubi, Taomon, and any other Digimon with enhanced hearing sweat drop, "Thank goodness we made it in time!"

Naruto turned Hikari with a deadpan face, "Should we tell her what she missed?"

Hikari only shook her head no as a kind gesture to Mimi, knowing she would react badly to the news. Mimi then landed in the middle of the group, greeting everyone. Taichi then turned back to the enemy Digimon, "All right everyone! This is our last battle!"

The group cheered as all the Digimon rushing into the enemy. Naruto quickly charged Piemon, vanishing before everyone's eyes. Naruto then bellowed into Piemon, grinding him into the ground. Naruto then grabbed Piemon's shirt, throwing him up into the air. Naruto then flipped around, planting his feet on the ground as he made a hand sign, "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"

Four Naruto clones appeared next to Naruto. Naruto made the clones attack Piemon as he formed a Rasengan, "U-zu-ma-ki!" The real Naruto then came flying at Piemon with the Rasengan in his hands, "Naruto Rendan!" Naruto then slammed the Rasengan into Piemon's gut, sending his spiraling up to the sky. Naruto flipped around to see Taomon and Kyuubi having fun with the Evilmon.

"Fox Sealing Paper!" Taomon said as she leaped into the air, shooting thousands of paper seals out of her long selves at the Evilmon.

"Heaven's Flare!" Kyuubi shouted, launching a white flame from his claws.

The two continued to at the Evilmon when Naruto shouted to them, "Hey! Who wants a shot at Piemon?"

Naruto got his answer as everyone's partner suddenly turned to Piemon, who was still in the air. Gomamon and Tentomon quickly evolve into their Perfect forms before joining everyone expect Wargreymon, MetalGarurumon, and HolyAngemon in a group attack.

"Holy Arrow!"

"Shadow Wing!"

"Flower Cannon!"

"Hammer Spark!"

"Horn Buster!"

"Sanskrit Pen Flash!"

"Sacred Rice!"

The attacks slammed into Piemon, the last hit sending him into the ground painfully. HolyAngemon then flew into the air, his blade extended as he used it to draw a perfect circle, "Heaven's Gate!" The circle then turned into a rotating stone with strange symbols.

Taichi looked up at the stone confused as Naruto landed next to him, "What is that?"

The stone then stopped, opening to prove it was indeed a gate. Without warning to the enemy Digimon, it started to suck them in mercilessly. HolyAngemon landed in the group, explaining his attack, "All evil beings are sucked into the dimension beyond the gate and buried there."

Piemon looked up at the gate in fear when to voices next to him caught his attention, "Let's end this!" "Yeah!" There stood Wargreymon and MetalGarurumon, who didn't give Piemon a chance.

"Gaia Force!" Wargreymon shouted as he threw the large ball of energy.

"Double Tomahawk!" MetalGarurumon also shouted as his chest plate opened to reveal a large missile, which fired.

The two attacks connected, launching Piemon into the gate. The gate then closed, dissolving into a golden dust that spread across the remains of Spiral Mountain. The last section of Spiral Mountain vanished, leaving only the summit the group was standing on.

Naruto smiled, letting out a loud cheer, "ALRIGHT!" He then laughed as his cloak faded away. The second it did, he collapsed. This cut the group's celebration short as they all gathered around Naruto. Kyuubi lifted Naruto to his feet, letting everyone know he was fine. Naruto smiled as he panted heavily, "I'm sorry… That much power in your body then it suddenly leaves you… Makes you really tired…" Naruto then made Kyuubi let go, making him fall to the ground again and land on his bottom, "I'll be fine… Just need to rest…"

Naruto then took a deep breath as he propped himself up on his arms, closing his eyes. When Naruto noticed how silent it was, he cracked one open, "What? We won! Why is everyone so quiet!?"

This made the group burst into laughter. Then the unfamiliar laughs caught the group's attention, causing them to turn to the laughter. Taichi's eyes widened as he saw the group, "Huh? Even Ogremon is here? What are these guys doing here?"

Mimi then turned back to the group, "Oh yeah, you don't know what happened. The thing is…"

Mimi was interrupted however by Koushiro, who was checking his laptop, "I have a message from Gennai-san."

"Who's Gennai?" Naruto asked as Kyuubi helped him over.

Naruto's question wasn't answered however, as Hikari suddenly screamed. Everyone turned to see one Evilmon heading towards her, apparently it was the only one smart enough to hide when HolyAngemon made the gate. The others hurried over, trying to save her before it was too late.

Naruto knew they couldn't make it, but didn't stop running despite his exhaustion. What happened next shocked everyone. Hikari closed her eyes and swung her fist in a panic, hitting the Evilmon dead between its eyes. That wasn't what shocked them. It was that the Evilmon was sudden sent off like a bullet into a nearby boulder. Everyone stared in shock at the Evilmon then Hikari.

Naruto sweat dropped, turning to Kyuubi shouting, "I thought you said she wouldn't get as strong as me!"

"She isn't" Kyuubi said as he crossed his arms, "And I did say that, but I didn't say she wouldn't get stronger at all."

The made everyone face fault, even Hikari who sudden got over her shock. Naruto was the first to recover, quickly jumping to his feet, "You baka kitsune! You should have told us everything! Is there anything else we should know about!?"

"No." Kyuubi said calmly, but was sweating bullets on the inside, "I don't think they need to know that Hikari might hit puberty a bit earlier than normal…" Kyuubi thought as an image of him telling everyone formed in his head, then getting massacred by all of them, "Yeah… they don't need to know…"

"Eh hem!" Koushiro coughed, opening his laptop again, "Let's see what Gennai-san has to say."

"Maybe he wants to congratulate us." Sora said as she moved behind Koushiro along with the others.

Taichi simply folded his arms behind his head as he stepped away from the group, "Great time to pick now, after all we've for the geezer."

"That can't be!" Koushiro gasped as he started to shake.

"What did he say?" Taichi asked, walking back over to everyone.

"Apparently our real enemy isn't the Dark Masters!" Koushiro said, getting a gasp from the group, "The existence of our real enemy itself is what caused the distortions in this worlds, and the Dark Masters only gained their power from those distortions."

"Then… who's our real enemy!?" Taichi asked when the ground started to shake.

"I gotta feeling we're about to find out!" Naruto shouted as the Dark Masters tower exploded. The rest of Spiral Mountain melted away into darkness before the summit exploded. The group plummeted into the darkness below, only to suddenly stop when the darkness was all around.

"Taichi!" Wargreymon said as he stopped next to Taichi, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." Taichi said as he looked around, "Where are we?"

"Looks like my head when Piemon put me to sleep." Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head.

A beep from Koushiro's laptop caught everyone's attention, making them crowd around him as he opened his laptop. The screen came on, showing Gennai on the screen, which occasionally went fuzzy, but still held the signal it was receiving, "This darkness is probably endless!"

"Hey! What's the deal!?" Taichi asked Gennai angrily

"We defeated the Dark Masters!" Yamato followed, becoming as angry as Taichi.

"But you haven't beaten the source that has brought forth all of the evil in the first place." Gennai said calmly as the screen was going in between fuzzy and clear.

"Why do I get the feeling this is one of those "look underneath the underneath" moments Kakashi-sensei always tried to tell me about…" Naruto said as he sighed.

"This source of evil came from the Wall of Fire." Gennai said to the group.

"The Wall of Fire?" Jyou asked, suddenly turning to Naruto along with everyone else.

Naruto noticed the stares before giving them a dead-pan stare, "You think I'm involved with this?"

"He had nothing to do with this event." Gennai said surprising the group, "In fact, with him the scale has tipped to an equal playing field so to speak."

"What do you mean?" Kyuubi asked glaring at the old man on the computer screen.

"Inscriptions were found on the walls of the Ancient Dino Region, and this is what they say." Gennai said as he recalled the memory, "Long ago, something appeared from the other side of the Wall of Fire, which is located deep within the Digital World. Solely by existing, this creature has warped the fabric of space and time."

Kyuubi suddenly understood why Naruto was the tip of the scale, "I see. Naruto possesses the Will of Fire, which can also bend space and time. You're basically implying to fight fire with fire."

"Yes." Gennai said with a nod, "But please let me finish. This creature almost brought this world to total destruction. The Digimon could not beat it with their own power. So they called on the Chosen Children from the real world to help them eliminate it."

"There were were other Chosen Children before us!" Jyou shouted out in shock.

Sora then realized an important fact, "Then… the reason we were brought here is because something came out of that Wall of Fire again, right? And that's our real enemy?"

"There was also prophecy written among the inscriptions in the Ancient Dino Region. It said that, before long, a large darkness will enter this world from the wall of fire once again." Gennai said, preparing to answer Sora's question.

"A large darkness…" Yamato said quietly before looking around, "You mean this darkness?"

"Are you saying this darkness is the enemy's real form?" Taichi asked as he looked around at the darkness.

"You could say that. But I'm sure it also has a physical body. Fight with caution, children." Gennai said before the signal was finally lost as he faded out.

"Wait, don't go!" Taichi said as the screen went fuzzy, "How do we fight when we don't even know what we're fighting?"

Naruto turned to Taichi with a worried expression when movement caught his eye, "I think we're about to find out what it is!" Naruto then pointed to a large shadow coming towards them.

"Yes." A large voice suddenly boomed as strange shape appeared, having twelve pentagon surfaces.

Koushiro put his digivice into his laptop as he stared at the strange creature, "This is the Digimon that appeared from the Wall of Fire?"

Everyone stared at the strange creature as its sides started to rise out of its center. Ten claws came out of the side as a point came out of the bottom. A figure then came out of the top of the strange object, wrapped in a cloak. The cloak unfolded, revealing a human shape Digimon with a strange mask of the top of his face and his lower half melting into the main body.

"What the hell is that thing?" Yamato said as he and the others stared in disgust.

"Apocalymon." Koushiro said as he read the stats on his computer, "I don't have any information on it. My laptop only says his name."

Apocalymon started to laugh as he scanned the group, "Do you consider me ugly?" No one answer, only staring at the monstrosity as it started again, "It's true, isn't it. That is what you are thinking, isn't it? We are, after all, the ones who were thwarted through the evolution process."

"The evolution process?" Koushiro asked himself quietly

"Digimon have continued to evolve again and again throughout the years. Did you know that there were some among who disappeared? Apocalymon said as he started to explain his existence.

"It is inevitable for some species to disappear during the evolution process." Koushiro started trying to reason, "If they aren't able to adapt to their environment-"

"SILENCE!" Apocalymon boomed, stopping Koushiro as well as surprising the others, "Inevitable? You think that single word can put an end to this entire matter?!"

"What are you getting at?" Yamato shouted at Apocalymon.

Apocalymon pointed at the group as he started to scowl, "Are you saying that we have no right to live?"

"No, I never-" Koushiro said as he tried to defend what he said.

"Yes." Apocalymon said, interrupting Koushiro again, "We are the Digimon who have disappeared through the evolution process… The resentment build-up of the thoughts that have cursed our sad and hateful fates!"

Naruto scowled at the word fate as Sora started to talk, "You were created from the dark hearts of the Digimon who disappeared?"

"Dear Chosen Children and your dear Digimon." Apocalymon said, starting to smile creepily, "We have been looking forward to meeting all of you." Everyone looked at him in shock as he continued, "Listen. While we lay buried within a deep darkness of utter coldness and sorrow, you were on the other side, enjoying yourselves and laughing happily in the warm light. WHY!?" Apocalymon's scream caused a discharge of electricity that lashed out at everyone, sending them back.

Taichi was the first to recover, looking around to everyone, "Hey! Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah." Naruto said as he rubbed his head as he checked everyone, "We're okay."

Everyone's attention was drawn back to Apocalymon as he screamed to the darkness, "What have we done to deserve this!?" Apocalymon the dug his razor shark claws into his shoulders, tearing his skin drawing his green blood, "Why must we weep tears of grief while you enjoy cheerful laughter?!"

Naruto glared at Apocalymon, clenching his fists as he heard the very situation he was forced to live with as Apocalymon continued, "We, too, have tears that flow from our eyes and feelings that flow from our hearts." Apocalymon then removed his claws from his shoulders, "Just who decided that we were to be deprived of this world and consigned to oblivion?! We wanted to live! We wanted to live and speak of friendship, justice, and love!" Apocalymon then dug his claws back into the holes he made earlier, "We wanted to use this body to be helpful to this world!"

"Helpful?!" Naruto shouted at Apocalymon, "You call tearing apart two worlds being helpful?!"

"Are you saying that this world has no meaning for us?" Apocalymon retorted, "That we are meaningless?!"

Naruto didn't flinch, staring down Apocalymon when he noticed the wounds Apocalymon inflicted on himself start to heal. He heard Koushiro state what he had just seen, "It has self-regenerative abilities."

"Then we shall rule this world!" Apocalymon said as he thrusted his arms up, "We shall make this place belong to us! All who get in our way will die!" Apocalymon then laughed maniacally, "May the light be forever cursed where it shines!" Apocalymon then closed one of his claws, turning it into Metalseadramon's head, "Ultimate Stream!"

The attack headed straight for Hikari, who has frozen in place at the sight of the attack. Angewomon quickly came in front of her, about to take the attack when they heard, "Rasengan!" Hikari looked around Angewomon as she turned around to see Naruto holding the attack back with his Rasengan before the two canceled out.

"Kind and gentle children." Apocalymon said, getting their attention again, "That was a sign of our friendship. The next is… love!" Another of Apocalymon's claws changed form's, turning into Myotismon, "Bloody Stream!"

"Sacred Rice!" Kyuubi shouted as he jumped in front of Mimi and Lilimon, causing a storm of rice to stop the attack.

"Justice!" Apocalymon shouted as a third claw morphed into Mugendramon's head and cannons, "Mugen Cannon!"

"Talisman Spell!" Taomon said holding said Talisman as a magic shield appeared, deflecting the attack from Sora and Garudamon.

"Could it be… he can use all of the attacks of the Digimon we've met!" Koushiro said as he studied the situation.

Jyou turned to Koushiro with a panicked look, "But then that means we have to face the combined powers of every Digimon we've ever fought!"

"So what?" Naruto said as he flexed his claw, his crest glowing as his cloak reformed, "It just means we get the pleasure of taking out the temes all over again!"

"You haven't seen yet just how terrible I can really be. Death Evolution!" Apocalymon shouted, sending all his claws at the group. Everyone tensed, thinking he would target the children when he suddenly captured every digimon there. The digimon started to glow as Apocalymon ranted, "I'll make you understand what we felt as we disappeared through the evolution process." Apocalymon then opened his claws, showing all the digimon had reverted to their rookie stage.

Everyone looked on in fear as their partners returned next to him. "But we can't win like this." Hikari said as Tailmon flew back near her.

"Don't give up!" Tailmon said, showing no sign of being tired.

"We just have to evolve again!" Renamon said, joining Naruto's side.

As everyone readied their digivice, Apocalymon caught them by surprise, "Death Claw!" Apocalymon closed a claw before quickly opening it, launching a wave of Devimon arms.

"Don't let him grab your crest!" A voice boomed in Naruto's head, causing him to look up at the oncoming claws. Naruto quickly dodged the claw aimed for himself, but the others didn't fare as well as the claws snatched everyone's tags and crests. Apocalymon then made the claws hold the tags, making the group see them be destroyed.

Everyone stared in shock at what had happened.

"Our crests!" Taichi started.

"They're destroyed…" Takeru continued.

"Now we can't make them evolve!" Sora finished.

"Wait! Naruto-kun still had his crest!" Hikari shouted to everyone as Naruto destroyed the claw going for him.

"Ah, so he is the one with the power!" Apocalymon said as he then launched the eight remaining claws at Naruto. Naruto dodged them, trying to destroy them with his katana only to have to dodge at the last minute.

"Damn… At this rate…!" Naruto was unable to finish his thought as he destroyed one of the claws going at him with his chakra claw.

"We got to help him!" Renamon said as she and Kyuubi charged, only to stop when the claws retracted.

The Will took the time to boom in Naruto's head again, "You mustn't let him take a hold of me. With his power's, he would be able to use mine as well!"

"What?!" Naruto shouted in his head, suddenly seeing how bad the situation could play out, "You tell me this now of all times?!"

Apocalymon smiled evilly at Naruto, noticing his uneasiness "You realized it, haven't you? That we can use that power of yours!" Apocalymon then raised his arms to the sky again, "With that power added to our own, we can reshape the world to one for ourselves!"

Naruto smirked, waving his tail slowly as the chakra tails mimicked, "You got to take it from me first!"

"Naruto-kun! Tailmon and the others can evolve!" Hikari shouted from across group.

"How can we win against him if we can't evolve?" Mimi said, holding her hands in a fist in fear.

Koushiro was grabbing his head, looking panicked, "We just can't! With the combined powers of all the Digimon at his command, he's the strongest enemy we've ever faced! Child level Digimon will never defeat him, no matter how hard we try!"

"Shut up!" Naruto shouted at Koushiro when he whipped around, "It doesn't matter how strong he is! We're still going to take him down! If we give up now then everything we've done is for nothing! Everyone who died for us won't come back!" Naruto turned back around Apocalymon as everyone suddenly looked resolved, "I've never given up on anything and I won't start now!"

Everyone nodded, facing Apocalymon without fear. Apocalymon simply held out his arms, chanting something unknown as his eyes turned red. Naruto looked at Apocalymon confused, "What's he doing?"

A scream then caught everyone's attention, making them look at Jyou to see him starting to disappear. Everyone then looked down at themselves to see the same thing happening to them. "Our bodies are being taken apart and turned into electronic data!" Koushiro said as he looked at his vanishing body.

Naruto could only stare, having no way to help them as he seemed fine. Kyuubi turned to Naruto as his body vanished, "Naruto! Look o…" Kyuubi's head then vanished.

"Behind you!" Renamon managed to say before she vanished too.

"Naruto-kun!" Hikari shouted at him as she and the others vanished as well.

Naruto only stared at the empty space where his friends once stood unaware of the oncoming claw. The claw was repelled the by a chakra tail however, the tail having subconsciously moved.

(Now between Naruto and the group.)

With Naruto:

Naruto quickly whipped around to Apocalymon with his chakra flaring, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!!!"

"We broke them down into data." Apocalymon said with a chuckle, "It seems that crest around your neck protected you from our attack. But you are no threat to us alone. It's rather sad to us though. You are so much like us, we can easily fit you into our world."

"I'm nothing like you!" Naruto shouted as he lunged.

With the others:

"Where are we?" Taichi ask as he floated around in a world of white with binary appearing and disappearing.

Koushiro then appeared behind him, "The world of information. All of us have been broken down into data!"

"What about Naruto-kun?!" Hikari asked as she appeared near Koushiro.

"I don't think he was affected." Yamato said as he floated next to Taichi.

"But that means he's fighting Apocalymon all alone!" Jyou said in fear for young Naruto.

"We have to help him!" Sora shouted to everyone when she appeared.

"But how?" Mimi said when she appeared.

"We can't give up!" Takeru shouted to everyone as he appeared next to his brother, "We have to get back to help Naruto-san!"

Back with Naruto:

"Gah!" Naruto grunted as he was thrown away by Apocalymon's claw.

"Why do you reject your nature?" Apocalymon said as he retracted his claw, "We were both rejected by our world, dictated by fate to suffer for life! Why do you side with the light that caused us pain?!"

"The light doesn't cause me pain." Naruto said as he looked back at Apocalymon, "It only hurts you because you can't accept it." Naruto straightened himself up as he readied himself for another attack, "You say we were fated to suffer. That something else decided to hurt us. Yeah I'll admit, when I was born I didn't have a say in the matter. But I refused to late fate control my life!" Naruto then lunged at Apocalymon again, only to have a claw block his way. Naruto simply used his chakra to grab the claw and throw himself over it. He then landed in front of Apocalymon's body, "You gave up, blaming something else when it's your own fault this happened!" Naruto shouted in rage as he gave a chakra punch to Apocalymon's face.

To Apocalymon's surprise he was sent flying away from Naruto. Apocalymon scowled as he cracked his head back into place, Naruto having broken it easy from place with his punch, "Our own fault? We didn't choose to disappear!"

With the others:

"How do we deal with being dissolved into data?" Koushiro asked in fear of not having an answer.

"Do you think that should stop you?" Kyuubi asked in a calm voice, causing everyone to look at him curiously, "Should having something you don't know the answer to stop you from trying to get that answer?" Kyuubi said as he crossed his arms. "No. It shouldn't. I can beat you my life Naruto is fighting tooth and nail to get us back."

"Yeah." Renamon said as she looked up, "I can feel him right now. He's fighting for us with all his strength."

"But how do we turn back?" Koushiro shouted, "No one knows!"

Tentomon then floated in front of Koushiro, "Then tell me Koushiro-han, did you always know how to win in all the battles you've faced?"

"That's right!" Gabumon said as he joined Tentomon, "There's always a lot of firsts in an adventure!"

"We never knew what we had to do during all those times!" Gomamon said, moving towards Jyou.

Jyou nodded, smiling at Gomamon, "You're right! All those times…" Jyou started to remember his start of the adventure up to when his crest first glowed, "I didn't know anything about this Digimon world. There was always something one after the other that almost made my heart stop!"

Gomamon nodded to Jyou, returning the smile, "But because of you and everyone else, Jyou, we were able to squeeze through it together!"

"Yeah." Jyou said as he started to chuckle, "At first, all I could think about was getting out of this place as soon as I could… but ever since I got here, I've experienced so many things that I wouldn't have found out through textbooks."

Mimi smiled as her own memories came too, "There were things that I didn't like and things that made me cry, but…"

Palmon floated behind here, her hands folded together, "Are you glad we became friends?"

Mimi nodded, her smiled softening, "Yeah. I feel that I've become stronger because I've met you all, Naruto too."

"Until I met you, Takeru, I thought I didn't need to evolve." Patamon said as he floated over to Takeru, "But…" Patamon then started to remember his fight with Devimon.

Takeru nodded, looking over to Patamon, "Me too." Takeru said as the fight with Piemon entered his mind, "Because I met you, Patamon. I think I understand now how important it is to fight"

"You've always been so sweet to me, Sora" Piyomon said as she floated near her, "That part of you is what everyone loves about you."

"Koushiro-han, I've learned a lot by being with you." Tentomon said to the smiling Koushiro as he moved behind him, "Well, there were a few times I felt hurt when you never saw past your laptop." Tentomon then raised his arms, "But that's still another part of you that I like."

"Yamato…" Gabumon started, only to be stopped.

"You don't have to say anything." Yamato said, closing his eyes as he smiled at the memories, "I already know."

Agumon was floating near Taichi looking excited, "Hey Taichi! When we're together, we're invincible, right?"

Taichi gave a grin at Agumon, "You got it!"

"We can't let ourselves be defeated here. If we do, then what was the point of my search for Hikari all this time?" Tailmon said with her claws ready as Hikari smiled, "I've been waiting so long for the day when I could meet you and protect you, Hikari."

Renamon smiled, turning to Kyuubi, "I got to be honest. I didn't know what to expect from you two." Renamon then smiled, "First I was made with almost no knowledge of my partner, then another digimon appears in my egg. I thought you were there to over ride me at first, a better version to take my place. But when you realized where you were, you were just as confused as me."

"Yeah." Kyuubi said with a chuckle, "Imagine my surprise when I'm moved from a cage to an egg. And to think, if Naruto hadn't showed up here it would have never happened."

With Naruto:

Naruto grabbed the claw sent at him, holding it only to be hit from the side. Naruto scowled as he wiped the blood from his lip, the cut quickly healing. Apocalymon started again as Naruto got ready, "Why do you continue to fight us? What have these humans and digimon done for you? Nothing!"

Naruto hung his head in downcast as the words rung in his ears, "Nothing? You think they did nothing for me?" Naruto clenched his fist, his head shooting up with tears in his eyes, "They did everything for me! They saved me from the hell of being alone! If I hadn't met them after I was banished from Konoha I would have gone back to that hell! That's why I'll never stop! I will never stop until I save them like they saved me!" Naruto shouted as his crest gave off a flash.

With the others:

"That's right!" Taichi said with his fist raised and Agumon right next to him, "We can't let things end here!"

"We can't let our adventures go to waste!" Sora followed with Piyomon behind her.

"For our encounter with our Digimon and the friendships we've made!" Yamato said with determination written on his face.

"And for the sake of those we love, who are waiting for us back on Earth!" Koushiro said as he looked to Tentomon.

Jyou moved next to Taichi and Yamato, "We won't look back anymore!"

Hikari moved to Kyuubi and Renamon with Tailmon next to her, "We won't let the light within our hearts die out!"

A light then came from everyone's chest, revealing their crest symbols. Everyone stared in shock as their crest appeared. Agumon realized what was happening, "Your crests! The symbols that were carved on your Crests were actually the symbols of your hearts!"

"Our hearts?" Taichi asked as he looked back to Agumon.

Koushiro then gave his knowing smile, "Just like the knowledge inside of me and the sincerity within Jyou-san! If we continued to act upon the special qualities of our hearts, then our crests our unnecessary to us!"

"No, you're wrong." Yamato said, surprising everyone as he smiled, "It isn't the friendship inside of me that suddenly started glowing! All of your friendship gathered inside me, and that's what caused my Crest of Friendship to glow!"

"One Crest is for everyone! And everyone's Crest is for one!" Taichi said, becoming more excited.

With Naruto:

"It makes no matter to us." Apocalymon said with a sad voice, "I thought you would have understood my reason, but you clearly have been corrupted by the light!"

"Heh." Naruto chuckled, looking straight into Apocalymon's eyes, "No. If anything, that light saved me. It saved me from becoming a monster like you!" Naruto shouted, charging a Kyuubi chakra and Will powered Rasengan, "Without them I would have become like you! A monster who only rants about himself!" Naruto then leaped at Apocalymon, dodging the many claws as his crest started to glow even brighter, "They are my light! My reason to fight! My Will of FIRE!!!" Naruto shouted as he thrusted his Rasengan forward as he crest flashed a brilliant light.

With the group:

"The light inside of me is for everyone!" Hikari said with pride, causing her symbol to flash. When the flash subsided, it had showed Tailmon had super evolved to Angewomon.

"And everyone's hopes are my hopes!" Takeru said as his crest flashed as well, letting Patamon evolve to HolyAngemon.

"Knowledge!" Koushiro said as Tentomon evolved to AtlurKabuterimon.

"Purity!" Mimi said as Palmon evolved to Lilimon.

"Sincerity!" Jyou said as Gomamon evolved to Zudomon.

"Love!" Sora said as Piyomon evolved to Garudamon.

"Friendship!" Yamato said as Gabumon evolved to MetalGarurumon.

"Courage!" Taichi said as Agumon evolved to Wargreymon.

Kyuubi and Renamon smiled before they started to glow. The two smiled before letting the light over take them.

"Renamon evolve! Kyuubimon! Kyuubi super-evolve! Taomon!" Taomon finished

"Kitsumon evolve! ChaosKyuubimon! ChaosKyuubimon super-evolve! Byakkomon!" Kyuubi finished, turning to the others, "Let's rejoin Naruto! He wasn't given up yet so neither will I!"

The others nodded, the binary code disappearing as they reformed.

With Naruto:

Naruto stopped an inch from Apocalymon's face, struggling to keep going as a claw held in away from Apocalymon. Apocalymon then threw Naruto away with a smile, which quickly turned into a scowl.

Naruto laughed, not even turning around as he asked, "What took you so long?"

"Sorry we're late kit." Kyuubi said as he joined Naruto's side.

"We both are." Taomon said as well, joining Naruto's other side.

Naruto then felt someone hug his arm. He turned to see Hikari as she smiled, "Thank you for not giving up Naruto-kun!"

"Heh, like I would let that over-grown reject beat me!" Naruto said smirking as Hikari nodded, letting go and joining Angewomon.

"What?!" Apocalymon said in his shock.

"We're not gonna let you have your way!" Taichi shouted as everyone readied for battle.

"Impossible! How did you evolve your Digimon without your crests?!" Apocalymon asked, fear starting to appear in his voice.

"Don't go underestimating us Chosen Children!" Yamato shouted as he hopped onto MetalGarurumon's back.

"Got that right!" Taichi said facing Yamato before looking back to Apocalymon, "Now… Let's go get 'im, guys!" Taichi shouted as he pumped his fist into the air. Everyone followed with a cheer before mounting their Digimon, only Naruto being the one that didn't since he ran with Kyuubi and Taomon.

They all charged Apocalymon how only scowled before sending out his many claws, "Die!"

"Hammer Spark!" Zudomon shouted as he attacked the claw, destroying it.

"We'll take care of the claws!" Jyou shouted to the others as they continued to charge.

"Let's help them Lilimon!" Mimi shouted to her partner.

Lilimon nodded, taking Mimi's hands before throwing her up. She then turned to one of the claws, "Flower Cannon!" The attack hit, destroying the claw. Lilimon then caught Mimi, continuing towards Apocalymon.

"Use this chance to attack the main body!" Jyou shouted to Taichi.

Taichi nodded, only to turn to fear as a claw came behind Jyou. "Holy Arrow!" Angewomon shouted, shooting the claw as HolyAngemon blocked the claw with his energy shield.

Takeru looked up from HolyAngemon's should, "Both Hikari-san and I will protect you two!"

"Take care of the other claws!" Hikari added to Takeru's statement.

"All right! Yamato! Naruto! Full speed ahead!" Taichi shouted as they charged ahead, the claws being destroyed by the others as they passed.

Naruto and Yamato nodded as Naruto then looked to Kyuubi and Taomon as he formed a Rasengan, "Wanna give it a boost?"

Kyuubi nodded, placing his paw near the Rasengan, "Heaven's Flare!"

Taomon followed suit, Talisman Spell!"

The two attacks wrapped around the Rasengan, causing it to changed shape. The Talisman entered the center of the Rasengan as the fire from Kyuubi wrapped around the surface, making it look like a spiraling fireball.

"Koushiro-kun and I will assist Taichi, Yamato, and Naruto!" Sora shouted as she and Garudamon flew about them with Koushiro and AtlurKabuterimon behind them.

"Okay!" Yamato back to everyone.

Apocalymon wasn't happy with their progress, "You bastards! Plug bomb!" Then millions of little bombs launched at the five from Apocalymon.

"AtlurKabuterimon! Take care of Sora for me!" Garudamon said as she flew over to him. Sora jumped onto AtlurKabuterimon's back as Garudamon attacked, "Shadow Wing!"

Garudamon's attack cleared the way for the others, leaving a clear shot to Apocalymon. Apocalymon glared at the oncoming Humans and Digimon, turning one of his remaining claws back into Mugendramon's cannon's "Mugen Cannon!"

"Horn Buster!" AtlurKabuterimon shouted as he destroyed the claw before it could attack.

"Finish it off!" Taichi shouted

"Take this!" Yamato shouted right after Taichi

"Cocytus Breath!" MetalGarurumon shouted as he let out a blue flame icy to the touch.

"Gaia Force!" Wargreymon shouted as he launched the ball of energy along with MetalGarurumon's attack.

"Rasengan!" Naruto shouted at he leaped at Apocalymon's head, both Kyuubi and Taomon giving him a launch boost. Naruto then drived the Rasengan into Apocalymon's head, launching the Rasengan into the core as it destroyed Apocalymon's head.

Naruto leap away as Apocalymon started to explode, all the towers being destroyed leaving Apocalymon's first form. Everyone cheered as the shape started to glow with darkness, "You think you've won?"

"There's no point in acting tough!" Yamato shouted at the shape.

"You think so?" Apocalymon said as what looked spirits started to leave it, "Perish we shall! But we won't go away quietly! We will drag you and this entire world down with us! Watch!" Apocalymon shouted as it started to shrink, "Our ultimate finishing move! Grand Death Big Bomb!"

Everyone's thoughts came to surface as they watched Apocalymon self-destruct.

"It self-destructed! Is it the end of us?" Everyone thought as they watched before everyone's resolve came back

"I don't want that!" Mimi thought.

"It's not the end." Takeru thought.

"It won't end." Koushiro thought.

"I won't let it end." Yamato thought.

"Like hell this is the end!" Taichi thought.

"It'll never be the end!" Jyou thought.

"Because…" Sora thought.

"We all have…" Hikari thought

"Something important waiting for us!" Naruto thought.

Everyone knew what the other was thinking as they all finished, "Tomorrow!"

Then the miracle happened. Everyone's digivice flew off to the explosion, each shooting off a beam to another digivice. They formed to boxes before more beams form connecting them together. Naruto's digivice then made a large seal on the box, sealing the explosion off as the digivices flew back to their owners. The box then made the explosion shrink into nothing.

Everyone stared in shock at where the explosion use to be. Takeru was the first one two speak, "What happened to the explosion?"

"It must have been contained through the power of our Digivices." Koushiro said as his mouth hung open.

Taichi quickly smiled, raising a fist to his chest, "Does that mean we've won?!"

"It looks that way." Yamato said having the same expression as Koushiro.

Jyou then wondered by in complete shock with his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Then the destruction of the world is also-"

"We've stopped it!" Sora finished for Jyou smiling.

"Then I can take a nap." Naruto said as his cloak disappeared, falling to the ground.

Kyuubi caught Naruto with a chuckle before he hit the ground, "Never a dull moment with you kit."

The others quickly crowded around the two checking on Naruto. "Is Naruto-kun okay?" Hikari as she moved to Naruto's side. Her answer quickly came as a soft snore came from Naruto, making everyone start to laugh.

"Heeey!" A shout came from a distance causing the group to turn around. There they saw Ogremon, Andromon, Meramon, and Yukidarumon running up to them. The group returned the cheer, talking with them as they approached.

Kyuubi only chuckled as he set Naruto down onto the ground. Hikari, Taomon, and Angewomon stayed near Naruto as the group came over. Hikari smiled, moving Naruto's head onto her lap. She looked up at the group to see two lights coming towards them. As they got closer, everyone saw it was a Mekanorimon with Centarumon. The two landed in front of the group.

When they did, the Mekanorimon lid opened, revealing Gennai, "It seems your world is also saved." Gennai then noticed the sleeping Naruto, "Is he going to be alright?"

"Yeah." Hikari said as she looked back down to Naruto, then back to Gennai, "What's going to happen to the Digimon world now?"

"Take a good look below you." Centarumon said, pointing down.

Everyone looked down to see an island being formed. Taichi was the first one to recognize the island, "It's File Island!"

"The prophecy in the ancient ruins ended with these words." Centarumon said, gaining everyone's attention, "The first to change appearance was an island, and this island made new sky, sea, and land with the power of space and time."

"What does that mean?" Mimi said, looking up from the view of File Island.

"It means I must leave." A voice said as the Will appeared in front of everyone.

"What the hell is that?" Ogremon said as he poked the Will with his club.

The Will quickly floated out of Ogremon's reach, "What I am is no longer important. The world does not have the energy to function on its own. So I must leave and fuel this world until it can fully support itself."

"What about Naruto? How is this going to affect him?" Taomon asked as she glared at the orb.

"It won't affect him in any way. And if I were to stay, Naruto's chances to have a normal life would be slim. With me hanging around his neck, the forces of evil would forever seek him out. So I will leave and hide myself inside the Digimon world." The Will then floated down to File Island, disappearing from sight.

Taichi then noticed a large amount of data floating over to a mountain peak, "What's all that down there?"

Gennai moved over to where Taichi was pointing too, "It may be the Digimon who are reviving along with this world."

Taichi turned to the other with a smile, "Let's go have a look, guys!"

Everyone nodded, Kyuubi picking up Naruto as they headed to the gathering of data. All the Digimon de-evolved on the way to the location, having no need to stay in their stronger forms. The group ended up in the Village of Beginnings, where all digimon are reborn.

Everyone looked to the sky to see the rain of Digieggs coming down. Naruto started to stir as everyone split up around the village. Kyuubi noticed this, setting Naruto down, "Kit, how you feeling?"

"Tired…" Naruto said as he rubbed his eyes, "What I miss?" Naruto then noticed the village around him, "And where are we?"

"The Village of Beginnings." Hikari said as she appeared next to him, "That's what Onii-chan called it when we got here. How are you feeling Naruto-kun?" Hikari asked concerned.

"I'll be fine. Just need to let the sleep leave." Naruto said as he finished rubbing his eyes. He then noticed Takeru, Patamon, and Elecmon standing out in the field, "What are they doing?"

Hikari looked over to see Takeru, Patamon, and Elecmon standing with their backs turned, "I don't know. Let's go see."

Naruto nodded, turning to Kyuubi. Kyuubi simply shook his head, knowing what Naruto was asking, "No, you two go head. I'm going to go talk with Renamon." Kyuubi then disappeared, surprising Naruto and Hikari.

Naruto shook his head as he and Hikari started walking, "I hate it when he does that."

Hikari only laughed as they walked over to Takeru and the others. When they got close enough, she called out to them, "What are you guys doing?"

Patamon turned around, showing he was rubbing an egg, "We're making the Digieggs hatch!"

A Digiegg then rolled onto one of Hikari's feet, causing her and Naruto to stop as she picked it up. Hikari looked at the egg, then Elecmon, "All of them?"

"Yeah!" Elecmon said as he continued to rub the egg in his arms, "A lot of Digimon will be born from these Digieggs! The future of the Digimon world is just beginning!"

"Why don't you two join us?" Takeru asked as he continued to rub.

"Yeah!" Hikari said as she started to rub the egg in her hands, "Rub rub!"

Naruto picked up an egg near his feet and started rubbing it, "Like this?"

The others regroup, watching the five rub the eggs as they chatted with each other when Andromon suggested an idea, "How about we take a picture to commemorate the occasion, everyone?"

Everyone agreed to the idea as Koushiro went over to Naruto and the others, calling them back over. When everyone was together for the picture, Andromon got ready to take the picture.

Hikari and Naruto were standing next to each other, Hikari still holding the egg she was rubbing earlier. As everyone smiled for the picture, the egg started to move in Hikari's arms. Hikari looked down at the egg, having felt it move. This caught Naruto's attention as he looked to Hikari, "What's wrong Hikari?"

Naruto was answered as the egg exploded in a burst of smoke. Andromon happened to take the picture when the egg exploded, taking a second one right after the smoke cleared. Everyone had a look of surprise as both Hikari and Naruto were crouching down looking at the Digimon in Hikari's hands. Hikari smiled, rubbing its cheek with her own as everyone started to laugh.

Ogremon moved away from the group, putting on a straw hat and cloak that appeared out of thin air, "Well then." Everyone looked at Ogremon as he adjusted his hat, "I've got no business here anymore. I'm gonna go traveling!" Palmon then tried to make Ogremon stay only to have Ogremon say, "No frickin' way! You think a proud Virus attribute as awesome as myself can stand hanging around with you Data and Vaccines? So I'm outta here! See ya!"

Ogremon then disappearing into the forest behind the Village of Beginnings. Gomamon shook his head with a sigh, "Geez, he just won't admit that he likes us."

"I wonder if he knows Kyuubi is a virus type too." Naruto said scratching the back of his head. Everyone started laughing as Naruto looked around confused, "What? What I say?"

"Nothing." Taichi said as he calmed down, "Come on, let's go to the lake!" Everyone nodded, following Taichi as he led everyone to the lake. When they arrived there, everyone started lying around on the shore.

Taichi took a seat next to Hikari and Agumon, throwing a rock into water before leaning back as Sora broke the group silence, "How nostalgic… This is where we spent our first night in this world."

Naruto lay next to Hikari, going in and out of the conversation as he started to sleep again. Then Yamato's voice caught his ear as he asked, in Naruto's opinion, a strange question, "We still have a lot of time left for summer vacation, right? I'm thinking of staying in this world until vacation is over."

Everyone agreed with Yamato as Koushiro started to try and do the math, "If we consider one day in this world to be the equivalent of one minute in our world, and we have four weeks of vacation..."

"Leave the mental math to me!" Jyou said with pride before he looked to the sky mumbling. He then smiled brightly,
"110 years!"

That made Naruto start to chuckle as everyone cheered more. Naruto opened his eyes, looking at the sky as all the others hopped to their feet. That's when he noticed the large black portion of the sun. Naruto stood up staring intently on that spot, catching Hikari's attention, "Naruto-kun, what is it?"

Naruto simply pointed to the spot, "What's that?"

"A solar eclipse, isn't it?" Koushiro asked as Centarumon and Gennai both appeared in the middle of the group.

Everyone jumped when Gennai spoke, not having seen him there, "Children, there is something I must tell you."

Centarumon then took over Gennai's conversation, "The part that's in shadow is the Gate that connects us to your world. The eclipse will end in two hours."

"So what?" Yamato said with a carefree tone, "We can just wait for the next time the Gate opens."

Naruto noticed the look on Gennai after Yamato said this, "It's not that simple is it?"

"Yes Naruto. You are correct." Gennai said with a sigh, "Apocalymon's appearance caused the flow of time between the Digimon world and your world to be brought back into alignment." Everyone looked depressed as the realized what this meant as Gennai continued, "This world may view you as anomalies and erase you." After hearing this, everyone broke off alone with their Digimon partner.

Naruto walked over to a part of the shore with Kyuubi and Renamon behind him. When Naruto felt he was far away from the others, he stopped and faced Kyuubi and Renamon. He scanned both their faces, seeing them both having a hard time on figuring out what to say. Naruto simply grey annoyed, "Hey! Why the long faces?"

Renamon looked hurt as Naruto's lack of sadness, "How can you ask that?! I thought you would be sad to say good-bye!"

"But this isn't good-bye." Naruto said with a soft smile, "I can't explain it, but I know I'll see you two again." Naruto then looked out to the lake, "I've already had to say good-bye before… I'm not going to do it again." Naruto turned back to the two with his hand held out to them, "So I'll just say see ya later. I promise this won't be good-bye!"

Kyuubi, who had been silent the entire time, started to laugh, "I should have know you'd say something like that." Kyuubi calmed himself down, taking Naruto's hand, "I don't have to say anything. I've been inside of you long enough for you to know how I feel."

Naruto nodded, turning to Renamon, "Renamon, I'm sorry that we didn't get to know spend that much time together to get to know each other. So that's my promise to you. Next time I see you, I'll make sure we get a lot of time together Renamon-nee-chan!"

Renamon's eyes widened before she smiled chuckling, "There's no need Naruto. I feel like we know each other just fine."

Naruto nodded, looking back over to Kyuubi only to have to suddenly dodge a punch. Naruto stumbled backwards, looking at Kyuubi in shock with Renamon as Kyuubi chuckled, "Kit, I may know how you feel. But I don't want to let you just go with a hand shake." Kyuubi then lowered himself to the ground, getting ready to attack.

Naruto smiled, quickly hopping to his feet, "I've always wanted to do this!" Naruto then tackled Kyuubi to the ground, the fight between the two starting.

Renamon could only sigh and shake her head, following the two to make sure they didn't go too far in their spar.

As Naruto, Kyuubi, and Renamon said their good-byes in their own way, so did everyone else. Hikari gave Tailmon her whistle, Taichi and Agumon remembered when they burned Seadramon's tail, Yamato playing his harmonica for Gabumon, Sora and Piyomon hugged in a tree, Takeru and Patamon cried in a flower field before promising to see each other again, Koushiro fixing the trolley with Tentomon, and Jyou and Gomamon shaking hands. Mimi was the only one who hadn't said her good-byes with Palmon, and that was because Palmon disappeared.

Soon it was time for the children to leave as they headed to the trolley. As everyone gathered in front of the car, they noticed Naruto was missing. That didn't last long as Renamon appeared supporting a bloody and beaten Naruto and Kyuubi, "Gomen we're late. But these two got carried away."

Naruto chuckled as he looked up at everyone, "What can we say? Can't leave with just worlds." No one laughed, which caught Naruto's attention. He looked around and realized why everyone was quiet, "Palmon disappeared huh?" Naruto's answer came as Mimi started sobbing loudly.

Sora looked at her dear friend as she cried before turning to Gennai, "Can we have a little more time? Just a few minutes!"

Gennai shook his head to Sora's request, "We can't. The Gate won't wait for us." Gennai then opened the door to the car, "All children inside please."

The children nodded reluctantly, filing into the car. Hikari and Takeru helped Naruto into the car seeing as they were near the say height. As everyone took a seat, opening the windows to look outside to their Digimon. As the trolley prepared to leave, Tailmon moved Hikari's whistle to her mouth. Naruto visibly tensed, clearly remembering the first time he heard the whistle. Naruto's glance then caught Hikari's ears twitch, which made him grimace more. Naruto then gave a sigh as he prepared for the pain, placing his hands over Hikari's ears.

Hikari turned around to Naruto confused as Tailmon blew the whistle. Naruto's face contorted in pain as the pitch of the whistle hit his ears. When Tailmon finished blowing, Naruto let go, grabbing his head in pain. Hikari instantly remembered the first time she blew her whistle as the memory of everyone in Whamon came to mind. She smiled softly, rubbing behind Naruto's ears, "Thank you Naruto-kun."

Naruto only nodded as the pain receded replaced by a relaxing feeling as he felt Hikari rub his ears. She then leaned out the window, waving along with everyone else to their Digimon as the trolley pulled away.

Kyuubi, having seen Hikari's and Naruto's interaction before they left, was chuckling as they left, "It's going to be interesting next time we see they?"

"Why?" Renamon asked as she waved.

"You'll see." Kyuubi said as he lowered his arm.

As everyone waved, they noticed something small and green running along the lake shore. Mimi, who had been crying in her seat, quickly looked out the window, "Palmon!"

"Mimi!" Palmon shouted back to Mimi and the others, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay!" Mimi shouted back, "It's okay Palmon! Good-bye! Thank you for everything!"

"Good-bye Mimi!" Palmon shouted before she tripped. Mimi gasped when she saw, also losing her hat to the wind. Palmon quickly got up, running along with all the other Digimon who had caught up to her. Everyone was waving to each other as the trolley disappeared to the sky.

When the Digimon world was no longer in sight, everyone sat down, closing the window as they passed through to the human world.

As they did, everyone started to talk about their memories of the Digimon world. As they did, Naruto laid back on one of the seats as he wounds from Kyuubi healed. Naruto folded his arms behind, only to wince at the large bump on the back of his head, "Heh, Me and Kyuubi went all out without chakra."

As Naruto started to relax, Hikari was talking with Taichi. "Should I go ask him Onii-chan?" Hikari asked as she watched Naruto.

Taichi looked between the two before pulling out the crimson crystal Kyuubi had given him in Naruto's mind. Kyuubi's voice then played in his head, "Give your parents this crystal and they'll understand." Taichi smiled, tucking the crystal away, "Yeah, go ahead and ask."

Hikari smiled brightly, hopping off her seat and walking over to Naruto. Naruto, hearing Hikari walk over to him, cracked one eye open to her, "What's up Hikari-chan?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask you something." Hikari said as she sat near Naruto's head in the empty seat next to him.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked as he sat up to meet Hikari on eye level.

"What are you going to do now?" Hikari asked carefully, making sure to not say anything upsetting.

Everyone stopped and listened, having over heard Hikari's question. Naruto looked up to the ceiling, "Uhhh… I haven't really thought about it… I don't have a home to go too now… Hmm…" Naruto said as he closed his eyes, trying to think.

Everyone looked downcast when Naruto said this, only to jump in surprise at Hikari's question, "Do you want to live with our family?"

Naruto was so taken back by the question he fell out of his seat. He looked up from his spot on the floor, staring at Hikari in disbelief, "But what about your parents?"

"We're sure they'll understand after we tell them." Hikari said with a smile.

Naruto could only stare before smiling, "I don't want to be trouble for anyone…"

"But you won't be any trouble!" Hikari shouted, surprising everyone. She quickly hopped to her feet standing in front of Naruto as he sat up, "You're one of the nicest people I've ever met Naruto-kun! I'm sure Okaa-san and Otou-san won't mind letting you stay with us after we explain everything that happened!"

Naruto stared at Hikari's face before sighing in defeat, "Okay… If they let me I'll stay." Naruto said, his tone saying otherwise. No one caught this however as a light caught their attention. Everyone ran to the front of the trolley to great the light. It soon became blinding as they entered the human world. When the light cleared, it showed the trolley had stopped in the destroyed part of the city.

The doors opened, letting the children out. As soon as they exited, they smiled, seeing their families waiting for them. Naruto was the last one off the trolley. He stopped as he stepped out of the trolley, looking around as everyone rejoined their families. He smiled, leaning against the trolley as he watched Hikari and Taichi run up to their parents. As the four reunited, Naruto had decided on what to do. But before he could do anything, he heard someone shout, "WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU HIKARI?!!!"

Naruto sighed, walking over to Hikari's family ready to take the punishment awaiting him.

Hikari was trying to explain what had happen. Despite the yelling, they were handling it pretty well. Taichi looked at them when they looked to him, only taking out the crystal, "You want to know what happened right? Well touch this and you'll know everything."

Taichi's parents looked skeptical, but took the crystal at the same time. The crystal glowed at their touch before exploding into dust. The dust rained around them as their eyes glowed for a second before returning to normal. Both of Hikari's parents then smiled, looking down to Hikari, "Hikari, why don't you go get your friend Naruto and bring him over."

Hikari smiled and nodded, running over to Naruto, "Naruto-kun!" Naruto was snapped out of his depressed demeanor when Hikari shouted his name. He didn't get to say a word as she grabbed his hand and dragged Naruto over to her parents. When they stopped in front of Hikari's parents, they both looked at them in fear as Hikari's parents both had a stern expression with their arms crossed.

"Naruto, is it?" Mrs. Yagami said in a harsh tone, "You're the reason Hikari looks the way she does now, am I right?" Naruto looked away, but nodded all the same. Mrs. Yagami's eyes narrowed, "All I can say is…" Naruto didn't look up, only to gasp when he was hugged as Mrs. Yagami started crying, "You poor, poor little boy!"

Naruto just looked at the back of Mrs. Yagami's head in shock as Mrs. Yagami sobbed into his shoulder. Naruto turned from her to Hikari, "Did I miss something?"

"They know." Taichi said with a smile and his arms crossed, "Kyuubi gave me a crystal when he showed us what had happened with your life. My parents touched it, and now they know everything."

"So…" Naruto said as he realized what this meant, "You guys… accept me?"

"Yeah." Mr. Yagami said as he patted Naruto's head, "You had a hard life. A life no one person deserves when they didn't do anything to deserve it."

Hikari smiled brightly as she moved next to her mother, "Okaa-san." Mrs. Yagami turned to her as Hikari asked, "Can Naruto-kun live with us?"

Both parents heard this, looking to each other before smiling with a nod. Mrs. Yagami let go of Naruto, who was still too shocked to move, "Yes Hikari. Naruto can come live with us."

"Yay!" Hikari cheered as Naruto whipped his head to Hikari's parents.

Not having to hear the question Naruto was about to ask, they both nodded as Mrs. Yagami explained, "Yes Naruto. We do not mind if you live with us. If fact, we would be honored if you would call us your family."

Naruto couldn't take anymore, nearly passing out when Hikari suddenly tackled him to the ground laughing happily. The parents noticed the two's interaction, laughing to themselves. Mr. Yagami leaned over to his wife, "Maybe we should get a marriage document instead of an adoption document."

"Yeah." Mrs. Yagami said as she watched Hikari hug Naruto relentlessly, "Our lives just got a whole lot brighter. Now we have to lights in our world huh."

"Yeah." Mr. Yagami said as he watched Taichi pick the two up. He then decided it was time to go home, "Come on kids! It's time to go home!" Taichi and Hikari nodded, following their parents.

Hikari then noticed Naruto wasn't following. She ran back and grabbed his hand, "Come on Naruto-kun!" Naruto was then dragged by Hikari again, still trying to process everything that had happened in a few minutes. Hikari smiled at Naruto, looking back to her parents and Taichi. Hikari then looked at Naruto with a blush, "Naruto-kun…" Naruto looked to Hikari only to feel something on his cheek.

Hikari pulled away, having given Naruto a kiss on the cheek. Naruto locked up after realizing this, the only thing moving him being Hikari who hadn't let go of his hand. Hikari smiled at Naruto, "Thank you for everything." Naruto nodded dumbly as his brain started to finally process what had happened. He would have to get use to his new life, his new family…

Yatta!

This is a way to come back! With a story finishing chapter! Whether it's any good is up too you guys!

Notes:

Only one note comes to mind, and that is… I WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE THIS INTO SEASON 2!!! NO ONE WILL STOP ME… well no one but death. (Which I hope doesn't happen anytime soon)

Wait, one more thing. The whole have the fox features related to the Digimon world… Not flying with me. Why give them to them if they just vanish at the end of the adventure. Besides, it wouldn't matter whether or not they did disappear everyone would recognize them anyway. I don't care what world you're in or how good your government is. You're not going to make the children who saved the world just fall off the map. And you got to admit, a lot of you are curious on how Naruto and Hikari are going to deal with the fox traits in the real world. I know it
