"T-Th-Theyre d-dea-dead" trembled Davis at what he had just seen "But, that power, it's…mine"
"WOOOO!" yelled the reflection once again as it appeared on the mirror wall once again "It took you quite a while but at least you figured it out, that other dragon
was so stupid that he thought that he had been captured and attacked" said the reflection absentmindedly "But you, you have discovered the truth, you are the one
doing this, you killed those dragons and if you don't stop then you will kill all the people you care for" finished the image as its demeanor became darker and it looked
at Davis straight in the eye
"B-But I never did any of that, I was trapped here" said a trembling Davis with uncertainty
"Oh, were you?" mocked the image
As those words were said, the reflection disappeared only to appear once again, but this time the image was different, the Davis on the wall no longer wore perfect
white clothing, it was now full of blood and various pieces of flesh stuck to the fabric of the shirt and pants. The expression on the face of the reflection had also
changed, it had gone from being its usual calm and chirpy to a very dark and serious character, this only made Davis feel more uncomfortable than he had already
been.
"Davis" said the figure and then paused "This is what you were and what you are, you are a a king, an angel, a being of darkness, and you are a troubled soul with so
much blood on his hands, you must admit your wrongs so that you can move on with existence"
Davis was on his knees holding all of his emotions and begging his very heart not to break in that moment, he could not understand what he was doing, why did he
cause so much destruction? When did he do it? Was he actually aware and was this all a dream created by his mind? The young man was so confused and could
simply not grasp the concept of it all, he had so many doubts, so many questions that he wanted answers to, he knew that time was not on his side and that it would
probably be his last battle, but even if he died, he would die knowing what he had become.
"Please tell me" he said with such sorrow that the reflection could not do anything more than to oblige
"I will" answered the reflection
Sovereign Plateau
The chosen watched Holysusanoomon get slaughtered into bits of data which were then burned into oblivion before they managed to reach the mainframe of the
digital world, making it impossible for them to ever be reborn, the wasteland that now replaced the once lively and vibrant home of the digital gods was covered in
agonizing digimon that laid on the ground slowly being turned into data. The angel looked around with hungry eyes, eyeing its next victims, there was nothing to stop
it anymore, the mighty gods were dead and gone, the chosen were still unable to battle, it was growing bored, it needed more enemies and more blood. But there
were no more enemies to fight, so the creature did the only thing that its existence allowed it to, it continued to kill those that were too weak to continue living.
"P-Please, I-I" said one agonizing Gryphonmon "I-I have a-a family" it cried
The angel of genocide stood still for a couple of seconds while it looked into the eyes of the digimon, the dark orbs burned with such hatred and sorrow that could
easily drive a man insane just by looking at them, it then said in a monotone voice that contrasted with its eyes.
"He too had a family"
The words hit every being that heard them like a bucket of cold water, the creature grabbed the digimon and kept a stronghold on his body, then its body began to
radiate heat, so much heat until both it and the digimon burst into flames. But the fire did not affect the dark angel, it simply laughed and mocked the agony and pain
of the digimon who slowly burned and melted into the ground never to be seen again.
"So small" it said as it continued to behead and cut all the rest of the weakened digimon
"We are all going to die" said Zoe while small tears formed in her eyes

"I am more than a simple reflection Davis, I am the true form of the crest of the dark hazard, I take the image of the chosen that carries my power, in the past I took
the form of a dark knight that haunted the old Megidramon until the end of his days, but now I am a young warrior that has made hell his home and claimed the
throne as the king of darkness"
"But why are you doing this? If you truly are my image and I am the chosen of the dark hazard, then why am I here, unable to help the chosen?" asked Davis
"Young chosen, I am your subordinate, the moment I chose you and you chose me we became one, I serve you and only you for all eternity. Your confusion is
understandable but you must open your mind so that you can comprehend what I am about to say"
"TELL ME ALREADY!" yelled Davis back at the reflection in desperation
"I am your deepest desires being manifested, your subconscious's wishes, you may have passed that rage you had since you began this war as a simple emotion but
the truth is that your being itself desired this, it desired revenge, death, to inflict pain upon all those responsible for your sorrow, I my dear friend, I only followed
your orders"
Davis trembled like he had never before, his eyes showed so much fear that they no longer seemed human, he shook and grabbed his head with his hands and then
began to rock himself in a state of shock, the image simply looked back at him with an undecipherable expression.
"N-N-No, I-I, all of them, I-I ki-killed everyone, m-my f-fault, m-m-mo-monster, I-I'm a monster" he mumbled to himself in shock
"Davis, it is time to make your final choice, you can no longer hide or be in denial, you cannot lie, you cannot run and I can no longer ignore your lack of direction.
What is it going to be? I will ask you one more time and please think about what you are going to answer, if you answer incorrectly then I am afraid that you will
lose, for all eternity" said the reflection making a dramatic pause and then said in a monotone voice "Who are you?"
Sovereign Plateau
The sight of the central quadrant was now bare, every living thing with the exception of the chosen and the hazard group had been wiped out completely, killed by a
merciless creature that despite all the carnage still retained its demonically hateful eyes, its thirst for blood would remain until every single thing that breathed was
dead.
Alexia and Victoria had been able to restore enough of their energy to get back up and try to fight once again; Wisemon was on his way to recovering as well but
seemed to be taking more time to get back into the fight. The rest of the chosen were currently either on the floor being tended to by Jeri, Alice and the twins or were
unsuccessfully trying to get back up to their feet, the hazard group looked over to the spot where the genocide creature was now standing staring into the endless
sky while having a big disturbing smile on its face.
The creature lowered its head and then turned it at an angle that would have been impossible for a normal human being, it bared its teeth and the chosen and the
hazard group and said to them.
"Be afraid, God will destroy you all, AND I AM GOD!"
The angels stood in front of the fallen chosen as a barrier along with Wisemon who had managed to lift himself up and take a defensive position, their stances were
tired and tense, their energy would not last very long and to be realistic, their chances of actually defeating or stopping that creature were virtually none. With the
weight of existence on their shoulders they began to fight, to fight for survival, for the fallen child, for their master and former friend, they would give it all in the
battlefield, and even if they perished, they would never surrender.
"STRIKE OF THE SEVEN STARS!" yelled Alexia as the attack began to head for her opponent
"TERRA FORCE!" yelled Victoria using Wargreymon's attack
"BLADES OF WISDOM!" yelled Wisemon as his blades appeared once again and he went for the creature of darkness
"DIE!" yelled the creature as it dived straight into the attacks with absolutely no concern for its survival or the damage that it would do to its body "KAMIKAZEE
INFERNO!"
The massive dive that the creature performed gave the hazard group enough opening to cut into its flesh, but it came at a very high price, as Wisemon used his
blades to pierce the skin of the dark creature it used its vectors and grabbed the two angels who had been unprepared to dodge the attack, although the blades made
the creature bleed, it still retained its smile and without any empathy it began to choke the life out of the two demon lord angels. Wisemon had not expected the
creature to be unaffected by the loss of blood so he was surely unprepared when the latter used its legs as impulse to rid itself of the blades inside of it by throwing a
powerful kick to Wisemon's midsection. The digimon fell to the ground and before he could get up the creature used another of its vectors and grabbed him by his
wings with force, the chosen looked on helplessly as the dark hazard angel tortured its opponents, it laughed and taunted them horribly and although tears had
begun to form in the eyes of the two angels; they still never gave up.
Such passion for persistence bored the dark hazard angel, it wanted to see pain, sorrow, watch its opponents drown in their own fear while their eyes took in their
last moments of life, it began to quiet down and look at the fallen chosen who helplessly avoided eye contact in fear and huddled together looking for protection. And
then it saw them, the two perfect pieces to please his undying thirst, so small and vulnerable, so scared and fragile, yes, those two small children would definitely be
of use.
"You" he said to the still struggling hazard group that was currently in his grip "I am not done with you; your death will come very soon"
With that said he threw the three digimon to the ground with enough force that it created three small craters, the destined sensed that something was wrong because
instead of continuing the attack on its former teammates, it turned over to them and without a word it extended its vectors long enough to take hold of the two
children that could not do anything other than cry and scream for help.
"AI! MAKO!" yelled Jeri in horror as the twins were swept away from them and into the range of the angel of genocide
"YOU BEAST! LEAVE THEM ALONE!" yelled an injured Impmon who could barely stand but nevertheless was on his feet openly challenging the angel
"DON'T HURT THEM, IT'S US YOU WANT!" yelled Tai who despite everything still retained some of his characteristic courage
But the creature did not pay attention to the yelling of the chosen and their digimon, it concentrated on the tears of helplessness that the twins had, it fed off their
fear, drinking it in with such pleasure that it was almost poetic, the vectors began to close on the children's throats and as the air ran out from their lungs all that the
creature could hear was their innocent hearts begin to beat slower and slower.

"NO!" yelled Davis as he punched the glass wall with all of his force trying to stop what was happening "STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"
"I can't, not until you answer the question, I'm sorry Davis"
"BUT THEY'LL DIE!" yelled Davis back in desperation
"Then they shall die" said the reflection as Davis began punching the glass once again
Sovereign Plateau
The pressure was becoming too much for their small bodies, the air was running out and everything was beginning to get clouded for the two children, the creature
was enjoying each moment, savoring the brute cruelty of its actions. And the chosen, those brave warriors that had once in judgment betrayed the one that was an
inch from killing them now, all they could do was move their injured bodies on the floor crawling to the spot where the creature held the children in hopes of a miracle
to stop it.
"LEAVE THEM PLEASE!" yelled Jeri at the top of her lungs
"THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING!" yelled Alice
As the creature heard this, it laughed loudly and instead slowly applied more pressure to the vector that held Mako by the throat, it was intent on making a show of
cruelty, it would not kill both children at the same time, that would be too easy. It would make the chosen watch as it killed the children one by one, that way their
memories would always be haunted by the images of the last agonizing moments of the two innocents that they failed to protect.
"P-Ple-Please, h-he's just a boy" said Ai, the older of the twins who could barely speak
The phrase came out with so much desperation that it could have made the heavens cry, the figure did not apply more pressure to the vectors and instead ceased to
smile and looked up at the sky all while whispering something to itself.
"A-A b-boy?"
Unknown Dimension: Unknown Location
Davis was out of his mind after he had heard those words, those simple words had struck a chord right in the middle of his heart, they reminded him of one the day
he had lost everything, the day that had made his life become hell, and even after all that time he could still hear the desperate voice of his mother Elena while she
screamed at the gigantic white snake and begged him to spare her child's life.
Flashback
"NO! I'LL DO ANYTHING! KILL ME! KILL ME PLEASE! BUT LEAVE HIM, LEAVE HIM! HE'S JUST A BOY"
END FLASHBACK
"PLEASE! SAVE THEM! HELP ME SAVE THEM! HE'S THE SAME AS I WAS! I CAN'T LET THEM DIE!" yelled Davis as the reflection said to him for the final time before
disappearing
"Answer the question" he said
Davis took a long breath and then spoke with decision and bravery, he spoke not like a king of darkness, not like a destined, but like a true warrior that would do
anything to protect those that were innocent.
"I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM! I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING! MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, MY ANGELS, MY PURITY, MY LIGHT, BUT I WILL NOT BECOME A MONSTER THAT
KILLS INNOCENTS! I AM NOT THEM! I AM NOT THE GODS! I AM THE KING OF THE DARK HAZARD AND I ORDER YOU TO STOP THIS INSANITY!"
There was silence for a few moments before the image appeared once again in front of Davis and said with a big smile on its face.
"Congratulations, you have answered the question correctly" he said as a door appeared in front of Davis "Claim your price, king of darkness I salute you, you do not
serve the dark hazard anymore, the dark hazard now serves you forever" and with that the figure was on his knees bowing to Davis who could only think of saving
the children
.Davis walked through the door and suddenly everything was dark, he could no longer see the glass wall, he could not feel anything, he could not hear, he could not
talk, but suddenly he began to see a bright light and he went for it, he went closer and closer until he was engulfed by it. The king of darkness opened his eyes and
saw what was happening in front of him, the two children were held by the vectors as the chosen yelled for mercy, his mind began to take control of the vectors, one
by one they began to lower the weakened children to the floor, he still floated in the sky while the vectors began to retract back into his spinal section, the chosen
saw this and could not comprehend what had happened, he had stopped and they could see his face had morphed back into the Davis they knew, his eyes were no
longer completely black but its normal purplish obsidian, something had happened but they did not know what.
Davis's clothes began to change back to the ripped mess that they had been the first time he had entered the battle, all traces of the white blood-stained single piece
of clothing was now gone, and with that he looked at the chosen with the most sincere eyes they had ever seen and said to them while he choked back his tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm so, so, sorry"
His vision travelled to the spot where his beautiful Lily laid still and frozen forever in the arms of death, he began to question himself like he had once done before but
this time it was real, there were no second chances, he had the powers of a God and yet he had failed to save those he loved. It was over yes, but at what cost, it
was in moments like these that he actually resented being alive, because his death would bring so much joy than his life, but he had survived, destiny had played a
big one on him and here he was, walking towards the innocent that had been taken as payment for his life.
"Lily, my dear Lily" he said as he quietly sobbed "I won, I really won" he said as he paused once again "But if I won, Why does it feel so empty? Why does it feel like
I've lost?
There it is Ladies and Gentleman, the finale of the battle, Davis is back and in control of his actions, but the scars will remain in him forever, he won
but he lost, it seems that the king of darkness will have a lot to work on before he can retake his throne.
