Ok guys sorry for the delay in updating this. I think I was putting it off because this is the last chapter in my story and I almost don't want it to end.
Also a huge shout out to DigimonAT0318 for the review and to .35 for favoriting this story! I am glad you have enjoyed it.
Well I guess all things must come to an end.
And as always I do not own Digimon.
Chapter 31: Bringing back the Light
Tai and Mimi walked ahead of everyone with Noriko between them. They had gotten everyone's families together and they were heading to where they were first sent to the Digital World. He knew that with BlackWarGreymon protecting the gate at Heighton View Terrace this was the only place he could think they could open without the D-3's.
"Tai do you think this will work?"
"Is had to Mimi. What other options do we have? They need our help."
"I know Tai but..."
"I know you are scared Mimi but I am here with you. So is everyone else. We are scared too and that is okay. I love you so just pull strength from that."
Mimi gave her boyfriend a small smile. "I will Tai. I love you too."
They reached the top of the steps to where the Digital Gate opened and they first entered the Digital World. Tai held up his Digivice to the sky. "Well here goes nothing. Digiport Open." Nothing happened. "Please?"
"Wow I guess our parents were wrong. That isn't the magic word."
"Matt now is not the time of jokes."
"Sorry Sora, you're right."
"Hey guys look at this."
"What is it Izzy?" Joe asked with everyone crowding around Izzy and his laptop.
"Gate all over the world are opening."
"Wow your right. I guess all the Digidestined all over the world had the same idea we had."
Just then the same colorful circle appeared in the sky just like it did when they were first taken to the Digital World. Tai looked behind him where Noriko stood with Mimi. She walked over to Tai with the her own Digivice held up to the gate. The others followed suit and in a moment they were gone.
"Where did they take our daughter?"
"Don't worry," Mrs. Takaishi stepped forward. "You're daughter is in the safest of hands with our children."
"Are you sure?"
"I am positive."
In the Digital World MaloMyotismon had almost completed covering both worlds in darkness. The three DNA Digimon kept trying to attack him but he was able to push them back to the ground. The six Digidestined were running out of ideas on how to stop MaloMyotismon. Cody then looked up to the Real World above them and saw something beautiful.
"Guys look."
"What is that?"
"It looks like Digital Gates opening Davis." Yolei said stepping forward.
"Wow really?"
Just then Digimon appeared along the cliffs surrounding them. All they could do was watch as the Digidestined of those Digimon appeared by them. MaloMyotismon just started laughing.
"Do you think all of you can stop me? I am stronger than all of you."
"We all don't need to fight you. You might not be afraid of us but you are afraid of someone," Agumon said.
"Oh you think so. And who do you think I am afraid of?"
"Me."
MaloMyotismon looked down as Yolei walked forward. "Ha with all the darkness surrounding you, you do not have a chance Miyako."
"You might want to think again MaloMyotismon."
"What?"
Just then all the light that brought the Digidestined from around the world appeared again. MaloMyotismon had to close his eyes with how bright it was. The others watched as Yolei lifted her Digivice to the sky. All the light that was shining then went to her D-3. But the light didn't stay in her D-3. The light then surrounded her. MaloMyotismon sent an attack towards her but it never touched her. The light along with her energy protected her.
"Yolei..."
"Kari," Davis stopped her.
"Davis she can't do this alone."
"She isn't alone. She has the entire Digital World on her side."
"Davis is right Kari. She also has us," Cody said walking up to her. He then lifted up his D-3 and held it out to Yolei. He spoke out loud for everyone to hear. "Please give Yolei more strength from me."
When everyone saw more light coming from Cody's D-3 everyone else decided to join in. Offering her more power to help battle the darkness. MaloMyotismon attacked again only this time going after the Digimon on the cliffs and the other Digidestined surrounding him. While the dark wind from his attack hit them all it didn't deter them from helping Yolei. It was all becoming too much for Yolei to handle. While she kept her D-3 above her trying to fight the darkness she fell to her knees.
"You are starting to tire Miyako. All this power is too much for your body to handle. You were not ready to take this and now this is where I finish you and your light."
Yolei knew that he was right. She was losing this battle. Even with the three DNA Digimon trying to attack him and lower his defenses. It was becoming a lost cause but the Digidestined knew they couldn't give up. The kids that came to the Digital World with Oikawa watched from the other world and they knew that it was going to be a losing battle.
"Why do they keep fighting?"
"They are going to lose don't they see that?"
Davis then turned to the kids. "Hey now cut that out. You need to think positively."
"How can we? We were used for darkness."
"That doesn't matter. I was in the same situation as all of you and I came out of the darkness. You all can too."
One kid looked up to Ken. "You have friends to help you."
"Yeah and a Digimon."
"Damn it you kids are so depressing!"
"Davis yelling at them will not help!"
"Sorry Kari. Look you guys need to be positive."
"Well what makes you happy? What are your dreams?"
Davis turned to Noriko who finally spoke up next to Mimi. He turned to the younger girl and smiled at her. "Well my friends and girlfriend make me happy. And my dream is to open a noodle cart."
"What?" T.K asked.
"Yeah I want to make the best noodles in the world!"
Ken smiled at his best friend. "That is great Davis."
Noriko then turned to Ken. "What about you?"
"Me? Well I am not sure but I want to be able to help people. Maybe join law enforcement. What about you Noriko?"
"I think MaloMyotismon took our dreams."
"No he didn't. You can't think like that. Reach deep inside your mind. What is your dream? I know it is still in there. For you Noriko, and all of you." T.K said as he looked from Noriko to the kids still standing on the edge of the Digital World and the other world they were in.
Mimi looked down at the girl. She put her hand on her shoulder. Noriko looked up at the older girl. Mimi gave her a small smile. "I promise you all the dreams you have are still there. You are the one who needs to bring it forward."
Noriko just looked at the girl. Maybe it was the fact that she had the Crest of Sincerity or that she was just a really nice but Noriko closed her eyes and looked deep inside herself. Suddenly she felt a surge or happiness come through. Mimi and the others could just watch the inner battle she seemed to be winning. Noriko then opened her eyes.
"I have always wanted to be a kindergarten teacher."
Kari then walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder. "Me too."
Matt could see that with Noriko finding her will to find her hopes and dreams that MaloMyotismon was starting to weaken. Matt figures he wasn't expecting one of his chosen children to start fighting back against him. He then noticed that the light around Yolei seemed to be brighter. It was then that Matt knew that the other children needed to do the same as Noriko. He took a step towards the other kids on the edge of the worlds and smiled down at them.
"See Noriko could do it. You all can do it too."
Suddenly all the kids looked inside themselves and found their own hopes and dreams. Each kid started to say what they wanted to be when they grew up and the Digidestined could see that MaloMyotismon brought his arms down to himself in pain. The light that was around Yolei was brighter now than it was when she first took the power from the Digimon and the Digidestined from around the world.
"Now how can this be? My darkness is supposed to keep happiness, hope and dreams at bay. Where are they finding these?"
"You underestimate them MaloMyotismon," Yolei finally spoke. "And you underestimated me. That was your downfall."
"You are still not strong enough to take me down Miyako. You seem to forget about the Primary Village. I will be back and we will continue this fight forever."
"No. I created the Primary Village and you will not be going there. You will be destroyed MaloMyotismon once and for all. I will keep you out of the Primary Village."
MaloMyotismon then let out a small sinister laugh. "That will kill you Miyako. Keeping something out of the Primary Village."
Without a final world Yolei then took her D-3 from above her and held it out to the three DNA Digimon. The light went from her to them. Imperialdramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon started to glow from the light. They all turned to each other and nodded.
"All right guys lets do this," Imperialdramon said.
"You got it," Shakkoumon said.
"We are finally ending this once and for all," Silphymon finished.
"Justice Beam."
"Static Force."
"Giga Crusher."
With those final attacks MaloMyotismon was then destroyed into a dark smoke. "I am not defeated yet. I will be back."
Yolei opened her eyes and turned her D-3 to him. "No you won't."
The remaining light from her D-3 come out and hit the smoke where it was and then completely disappeared. It was then in Noriko's hands a small creature appeared. It looked up at her and said that it was her Digimon partner. The kids on the edge then took the step into the Digital World themselves and Digimon appeared infront of them too.
Ken looked and smiled. The three DNA Digimon reverted back to their rookie forms. He then looked to where Yolei was and she had collapsed where she was. He ran over to her and took her in his arms. Kari was beside him in a matter of seconds. She went to her knees and reached for her hand. She pulled back a little but not enough to let her go.
"She is cold. Yolei you need to wake up. We did it, you did it. Both worlds are safe."
There was no movement from her. Kari then started to cry. It was then she knew that MaloMyotismon was right. Her keeping him out of the Primary Village would kill her and here she was lifeless in Ken's arms. She then looked up at him and saw his own tears flowing freely. That only made her cry harder.
T.K just watched and Kari and Ken didn't say anything. He then turned to look for Cody. He had known Yolei the longest out of all of them. It was then that he found the boy trying to help Oikawa to the Digital World.
"Cody what are you doing?"
"It is going to be okay Mr. Oikawa you're almost there," Cody said completely ignoring T.K.
"I don't think I can make it."
"Yes you can. You are so close to the Digital World."
"No Cody he can't."
Cody looked up and saw Gennai standing in front of him. "What do you mean?"
"MaloMyotismon completely destroyed his spirit and body. I am afraid Oikawa doesn't have much time left."
"No that can't be."
"I'm sorry Cody but not everyone can be saved."
"So does that mean Yolei can't be saved either?"
Gennai then turned to T.K. "Miyako's sacrifice will not have been in vain. She kept one of the most evil Digimon from being reborn."
"But she is your daughter. There must be something you can do."
"I'm sorry Davis. I cannot sense her life energy. Without that I cannot help her this time."
Oikawa looked around from where he was under Cody's are and in the other world. "Is this the Digital World. It looks so cold. I know it is because of me it is like this."
"No you are wrong. It is becasue of MaloMyotismon. You had no control."
"No Cody I allowed him in. It is my fault but maybe there is something I can do to help now."
"What do you mean."
"Miyako. You said you can't feel her life energy. I will give her mine. And I will also help restore the Digital World with my energy."
"But Mr. Oikawa."
"Don't be sad Cody. I will always be here in the Digital World helping in anyway I can."
It was then that Oikawa's body started to fade away. It seemed he allowed his energy to enter the Digital World. A few specks of light then went down to where Ken and Kari were holding Yolei. When they looked up and watched as the lights went into Yolei's body. They watched and waiting hoping it wasn't too late. Kari watched as Yolei's then pale skin seemed to gain color to it. It wasn't until she saw her take her first breath that she brought her hands to her mouth.
Yolei opened her eyes. When she did she was greeted with Ken's tear stained cheeks. "Did we do it?"
"Yeah we did, you did Yolei."
"No we all did it. I couldn't have done it without all of you."
Yolei brought her hand up to Ken's face. Gennai walked up to them. "I am so proud of you Miyako."
Ken helped Yolei to her feet but stayed beside her to keep her balanced. "Thank you Gennai."
"Oh that reminds me. I think this belongs to you Gatomon."
"My Holy Ring! Where did you find it?"
"After you lost it I collected it from the forest. You didn't need it to reach your next potential."
"Do you mean the ability to DNA Digivolve?"
"Yes Izzy. The Holy Ring would have prevented it. But now with the power that Miyako had given to you all even with the Holy Ring you can still DNA Digivolve. If needed that is. With MaloMyotismon gone you may never need to do it again."
Gatomon was happy to have her ring back. She still looked up to Gennai troubled. "What about the Digital World?"
"Well it will take a while but Azulonmon, the other three MegaDigimon and I will start removing the darkness from the Digital World. But it will take some time."
"Let me help."
"No Miyako. I will take care of this. You need to regain your strength. You are too weak to help us now. And with Oikawa's energy helping us we will take care of it. You have done enough. You saved two worlds. We couldn't ask more of you right now."
Yolei just nodded at Gennai. She knew he was right. She definitely didn't have the strength. In the state she was in now she knew it would only kill her again. But she felt as though she should do something to help the Digital World get back to the light it once was.
Ken just held her closer. He could feel her sadness being denied to help the Digital World more than she already did. He was glad to hear Gennai's words for her to take a step back and go back to the Real World. He didn't know what he would do if she stayed here to help Gennai and the MegaDigimon restore the Digital World.
"With us restoring the Digital World I would recommend that all the Digimon stay here in the Digital World."
"We would be able to come and see them right Gennai?"
"I'm sorry Sora. I will have to close all the gates to the Digital Worlds while we restore it. No one will be allowed in."
"For how long?"
"I wish I had an answer for you Joe. It will depend on how long it takes."
"I don't want to have to say goodbye to Palmon again."
"But this isn't goodbye Mimi. I am sure we will see each other again."
"Oh Palmon." Mimi then went to her knees and hugged her Digimon.
Each Digidestined said goodbye to their Digimon. From Matt just shaking hands with Gabumon to Yolei hugging Hawkmon so hard he couldn't breathe. After all their goodbyes Gennai opened the gate at the camp where the Digidestined were first found. Gennai hugged Yolei one last time wondering if he would see her again and said how proud he was of her.
It didn't take long and suddenly they were back in the Real World. When Tai and the older Digidestined left to go to the Digital World it was all dark and now all the lights were back and it was bright with the moon shining in the sky. All the children that were taken by Oikawa were reunited with their families once again and they all started to go home. The Digidestined just stood in front of their parents and siblings. It was Cody's mother who made the first move to her son.
"I thought I lost you too."
"It is okay mom. I am still here. I promise I am not going anywhere."
"Oh Cody." She just held him tighter.
Jun went up to her brother and hugged him lightly but enough to where she wasn't going to let him go. Davis heard his parents say how proud they were of him being mature enough to save two different worlds. Jun whispered in his ear how proud she was of him too. Davis just smiled and returned her hug with earnest.
Yolei was shocked when it was her father who held her first. Yolei gladly returned her father's embrace. He spoke into her ear that he had a feeling that she was special and this was proof of it. Yolei just started to cry when her mother come up and hugged her too. Yolei just smiled at her brother and sisters as she hugged her parents. They returned the smile happy that she was home and safe.
Ken mother hugged him while his father just put a hand on his shoulder. He knew his mother's fear of losing their other son but Ken promised that he wasn't going anywhere and that he would always be here with them. His mother just cried harder after he told them this.
The Digidestined didn't know if or when they would return to the Digital World but they knew it wasn't going to be goodbye forever. While they did defeat this darkness that was MaloMyotismon but there was always going to be evil to try and take over. And if and when that happened they will be ready to save the Digital World again.
Okay that is the end. I realize this chapter is super short for an epilogue but I think I did it with enough justice to end it. I can't believe it is over! I almost want to cry. But who knows their story may not be over. Or is it? Yeah don't know where I am going with this. But I do have another story in mind that does not follow this story line. So if I decide to write it I hope you all will check it out! Goodbye for now my friends.
