And here we are the first part of the final fight.
Disclaimer: Én nem a saját Digimon.
The Digidestined had spent the night in Habor City, the inhabitants of the city had served them a big and rich breakfast and BeoWolfmon had given them all the supplies Tai had asked for. When they had to leave Andromon had insisted to go with them.
Now they were sitting on Wingdramon's back and flew towards File Island. Since two hours they could see a huge amount of ships underneath them. Wingdramon once had tried to come closer to the ships, but the ships had anti-aircraft missiles and Wingdramon was forced to keep a long distance between the ships and him.
Izzy had tried its best, but communication with the rest of the Digiworld was impossible. They had to hope that Leomon and his army would be already there, if not they had to fight alone.
The nearer they came to File Island the darker the clouds became. They had lost the track of the ships when they reached File Island in the late afternoon. The Digidestined looked shocked at the island, all the places they had known from, former adventures were destroyed: Toy Town was a smoking ruin; the Village of beginnings was destroyed and the factory where they had met Andromon was now in the hands of the enemy. They landed on the same clearing where Biyomon had Warp-digivolved into Phoenixmon, which now was the main camp of Leomon's army, they quickly found Leomon.
The joy of the reunion was short, because according to Leomon the situation was already very serious. A huge army had destroyed or conquered most parts of file Island. The ruins and the Infinity Mountain would be there last stand.
"There are only two ways to the top of the mountain: A big path through the ruins and a small path on the other side of the mountain. The small path can be held with two strong Digimon. Here in the ruins and maybe on the top of the mountain, according to the amount of their flying Digimon, will be the main fights. Centarumon is already on the top of the mountain and will tell you what to do with the aspects. I need two volunteers to defend the small path." Matt and Joe raised their hands and Leomon nodded.
"Fine, the others will be on the top of the mountain and protect the aspects from attacks by flying Digimon. Most likely the Dark Masters and the two Demon Lords will attack the top of the mountain directly. I don't want to fool you this will be the hardest fight you'll ever had, Dragomon's army still isn't complete but we're already outnumbered 40:1."
The Digidestined agreed to Leomon's plan, Wingdramon picked the Digidestined up and first brought Matt and Joe to the small path, the Digidestined wished each other best of luck, then Wingdramon brought the remaining ones to the top of the mountain where Centarumon was waiting for them.
"I'm very happy to see you all." Greeted them Centarumon. "And I'm glad you managed to claim the aspects."
"How can we summon Huanglongmon?" Tai didn't want to waste time.
"You have to merge the aspects together in the rays of the morning sun."
"Wait, 'morning sun' does this mean we have to wait till tomorrow?" Tai was slightly angry.
"I'm sorry, but yes, there is no other way."
"But what if they attack us at night?"
"A huge part of Dragomon's army is still not here, so they might not attack us until they have their full strength, also the two remaining Dark Masters and the two Demon Lords are missing and of course Dragomon itself hasn't appeared yet."
"So we wait until they have their full strength and we'll hope that we somehow survive this."
"I'm very sorry but there's nothing else we can do."
"That's insane." Murmured Tai and walked away from Centarumon, Sora quickly followed him to calm him down.
The night came sooner than expected and the Digidestined tried to get some sleep, but most of them were barely able to sleep, at least they didn't need to keep watch, a few Digimon from Leomon's army did it for them. Even a bird Digimon that looked a bit like a falcon was with Matt and Joe for the night. Late a t midnight the ships, the Digidestined had seen appeared and docked in a bay near the path Joe and Mat were protecting, but nothing else happened.
Armies are rising in the morning sun!
FINAL FIGHT!
The guards woke the Digidestined up as soon as the first sun rays appeared. The Digidestined were shocked by what they saw. The army of Arkadimon was moving towards Leomon's camp, on the other side of the island a huge army of machine Digimon came out of the boats and Machinedramon was among them. In the far distance the biggest Digimon they had ever seen was slowly walking towards File Island.
The Digidestined let their partners digivolve to their highest level and the ones with the aspects gathered around Centarumon. They took the aspects and hold them together in a circle and the aspects merged together in to a golden ring.
"Huanglongmon golden dragon of the middle hear my plea,
bearer of the almighty power,
come to us the mortal ones,
lend us your strength and shine bright,
to defeat the darkness."
Chanted Centarumon. The golden ring started to rotate and sent a golden light into the sky.
"Now we have to wait until he appears. We have done what we could."
"How long will this take?" Asked Tai.
"I don't know it's a lot of data that has to be loaded."
"So we'll just stand here and defend the ring?"
"By any means necessary!" Said Centarumon very determined.
It didn't took much time and the battle broke out, a huge amount of Gigadramon appeared and flew towards the top of the mountain at the same time the machine army came closer to Joe and Matt. Now also Joe and Matt were able to see Machinedramon, the third Dark Master entered the battle. Tai wished that he could help them, but the Gigadramon attacked the top of the mountain mercy less.
At first it had looked like something impossible to defend the small path against Machinedramon's army, but joe and Matt managed to hold the path. MetalGarurumon and Zudomon had blocked the path with massive boulders and destroyed every Digimon that was able to pass the barricade, they had found a very good choke point, when MetalGarurumon and Zudomon stood side by side they filled the path completely. Of course they had noticed the Gigadramon and they knew sooner or later one of them had to leave the path and had to help the others, the path could be held long enough by one Digimon, at least long enough to get rid of the Gigadramon. Joe didn't know why the Gigadramon were ignoring him and Matt, but he guessed that they had strict orders to destroy the golden light that suddenly had appeared in the morning.
The Digidestineds' Digimon fought with all their might, but they weren't able to destroy much of the Gigadramon, because they were busy with protecting their partners from the grenades of the Gigadramon. On the other hand Matt and Joe slowly were able to get aa advantage against the attacking army. When Joe looked again to the top of the mountain he recognized that Matt had to help the others, MetalGarurumon's heat seeking missiles could be the force that was needed to change the tide of the battle.
"Matt you have to go and help the others!"
"No I'll stay with you, don't worry they can deal with the Gigadramon." Said Matt confident.
"Matt listen, they haven't destroyed not more than six or seven Gigadramon since the battle has started, they need help." Joe spoke very forcefully to Matt.
"Joe I can't leave you here alone, it's just a matter of time until Machinedramon will come and you can't fight him alone."
"GO! I and Zudomon will hold the path we don't need you here!" He pointed at the golden light. "This is much more important than this path; they need MetalGarurumon's fire power." Joe yelled angry at Matt.
"But Joe…"
"No buts. GO!"
"Fine I go, but I'll come back and don't do something stupid, retread if necessary."
Matt climbed on MetalGarurumon' back and flew towards the others. "We'll see again Joe, we'll see again." He promised to himself.
"Alright Zudomon now it's only us, but we'll hold the path. I want you to throw as many boulders at them as you can."
"With pleasure."
Zudomon used his hammer to break boulders out of mountain and rolled them down the path towards the attacking army. This was very effective; the lasers' of the Mekanorimon weren't able to destroy the boulders in time. Every time the boulders crushed a lot of the Digimon until they were destroyed by a stronger Digimon. The number of Mekanorimon became smaller and smaller, but now the slower Tankmon and Tankdramon entered the battle and just blew the boulders away before they reached them.
Zudomon now was forced to fight in a face to face combat. Even if the boulders weren't able to damage the Digimon, they were quite a good protection from the attacks until Zudomon could close the gap between him and the attacking Digimon. But a bigger problem was slowly coming towards Joe and Zudomon, slowly but steady Machinedramon was coming closer to them crushing injured Digimon under its feet.
Like Joe had said MetalGarurumon indeed was much needed help, first he was able to attack the Gigadramon from behind, second his missiles always hit the mark, eventually the Digidestined were able to push the Gigadramon away from them and to reduce the number of the Gigadramon significantly. But they still were far away from a victory; still the sheer number of Gigadramon was a problem.
Also Zudomon got more and more into trouble Machinedramon was now in range to shoot a the hammer swinging Digimon, Zudomon and Joe both knew that one hit of Machinedramon's cannons could end the fight and Zudomon with its back to the wall wasn't in the best position to avoid attacks. Every time it wanted to make a move it first had to crush a bunch of machine Digimon with its hammer. But the inescapable happened and Zudomon got hit by Machinedramon's Giga Cannons, the power of the attack crushed Zudomon into the wall of the mountain, it was a miracle to itself that Zudomon didn't dedigivolve and still was able to fight. The machine Digimon moved away from Zudomon when Machinedramon came to end the fight. In a last desperate attempt Zudomon threw his hammer at Machinedramon, but the previous attack had weakened Zudomon to much and its hammer only left a scratch on Machinedramon's chest. Machinedramon used his claws to deliver the final strike, Zudomon had no chance it dedigivolved into Gomamon.
Even if Gomamon didn't look like he could fight anymore; Joe had to try to encourage Gomamon so that it could fight again, it was way too late to run, Joe knew now this was about victory or death.
"Gomamon get up, I know you can do it, we have to win this fight, the others are counting on us, and we have to hold this path. I know you have the power to defeat Machinedramon, if we don't win right now then there is nothing left between Machinedramon and our friends. Com on stand up I'm counting on you." Joe was on his knees with tears in his eyes.
Machinedramon didn't spoke a single word and it just raised its foot to crush Gomamon.
"GOMAMON!" A cold light stared to cover Gomamon's body; Joey's Digivice glowed in the same color and started to vibrate.
Gomamon Warp-digivolve to Vikemon!
Gomamon became as big as Machinedramon, its fur got longer, shields appeared on his shoulders and two mighty morning stars on its back.
"Berserk Howl!" Vikemon howled with all its berserker rage, the loud howl disturbed the machine Digimons' circuits.
"Arctic Blizzard!" The temperature in front of Vikemon quickly fell down near to the absolute zero, too cold for the machine Digimon, they couldn't move anymore and Vikemon shot its morning stars at Machinedramon, it shattered into many pieces. The third Dark Master was defeated. But its army was still alive.
"Gigantic Glacier!" A huge wall of ice appeared in front of Vikemon and rushed down the path, crushing everything in front of it, the ice was so thick that the attacks of the machine Digimon had no effect; also the pressure which the ice exerted devastated the path and made it impassable.
Vikemon dedigivolved into Gomamon and fell exhausted into Joe's arms.
"Are you ok Gomamon?"
"I'm very tired and hungry, but I'm fine."
"I'm very proud of you Gomamon; you defeated Machinedramon and its army alone."
"Not alone Joe…" Murmured Gomamon before it fell asleep in Joe's arms.
