Chapter 69.
Epilogue, the end of the trip.
Dagobah Beach.
One week later.
A week after the conflict has passed, now it is time for the ceremony for the fallen, in Dagobah a memorial was raised, pillars on which the names of all those, both humans and Digimon, who perished during the war against Lucemon were written.
(AN: And you will wonder... why in Dagobah? Well, that's where Lucemon was defeated.)
All those who were involved in this conflict are there, from humans to Digimon, all humans dressed in black, to pay respect to those who gave their lives for the good of both worlds, even the three royal knights who participated in the war are there.
In front of everyone, looking towards the crowd, is Endeavor, the one in charge of giving the speech.
After a few minutes of silence, Endeavor begins to speak. – "For us, the storm is over, the war is over."- Endeavor started. – "But we will never forget those who went into the howling darkness and did not return... Well, their participation took courage beyond just bravery... It required sacrifice and a firm conviction in their fight... our fight."-
Endeavor takes a quick look at the crowd that is listening to him... in front of everyone are the six who managed to end this war, the six chosen ones.
- "While we finish rebuilding... this place will remain a wasteland... a memory of the fallen who, regardless of their species, are heroes, they made us all proud and should not be forgotten."- After this, Endeavor makes a military salute, a gesture that is imitated by everyone present in the place. – "With this we conclude the ceremony... whoever wants to stay can do so."-
With these words, the ceremony for the fallen concludes, some leave, others stay, Endeavor is one of those who stay, because he has to talk to certain Digimon, Endeavor watches as a group of four Digimon approach him, the BAN-TYO, BanchoLillymon, who now represents the group, steps forward.
- "I still don't know what to think about you as a species... learning of your existence was a great shock to society... but that doesn't matter right now."- Endeavor extends his hand to BanchoLillymon who does not hesitate to return the handshake. – "Because at this moment, you have my gratitude, for fighting by our side until the end... I'm sorry about BanchoLeomon."-
- "I won't deny it... it was hard to lose him..."- BanchoLillymon looks at one of the pillars, a specific name written on them.
BanchoLeomon.
She smiles. – "But it is now that we understand his sacrifice... now it is our duty not only to protect our world, but also to guide those who will take our place when our time comes."- BanchoLillymon said. – "Our only regret is that he didn't live to see our world safe."-
Endeavor remains silent, but in that he sees the device that ShineGreymon gave him on his belt. – "There's another thing I want to talk to you about."- Endeavor said. – "I want to make some kind of alliance with you, an agreement that benefits both races, both worlds."-
The BAN-TYO look at him curiously. - "We're listening."- BanchoLillymon said.
A little away from the place, the three royal knights surround what appears to be a hologram of the digital world, the three of them are watching it.
- "Everything looks different... without the darkness corrupting it..."- Dukemon said.
- "I would like to see our world... know that it is safe."- Magnamon said.
- "Don't be afraid..."- Omegamon said while undoing the hologram and then turn around. – "For we have made it so…"-
- "By your word, Omegamon."- Magnamon and Dukemon said in unison.
Omegamon turns to see his teammates, his friends. - "Let's go home."- He said.
Without saying more, the three royal knights are surrounded by light and just as they arrived in the human world, surrounded by a blinding light, the three return to the digital world.
After a while more, all the Digimon return to the digital world, well, almost all of them.

…
AN: This part will be narrated in a different way, being the final chapter I decided to do something different and make this chapter special, now I will explain how it works.
When the text is in italics, it means that the one who is narrating is Izuku.
When the text is normal, it will be a normal narrative, like any chapter.
So yeah… let's continue with the final chapter.
…
…
…
One month later.
A month has passed since our confrontation with Lucemon and our victory against his forces.
Izuku is on the roof of the A class dorms, looking up at the sky, enjoying the calm of the day.
Many things have changed, a new alliance has been formed, the Human-Digimon alliance, now the Digimon and humans work together for the good of both worlds, although for now this alliance is limited to a simple exchange of knowledge and light aid to the reconstruction of the human world.
Several Digimon are seen helping to rebuild what was destroyed by the attack of Lucemon and his troops.
But mainly a new project has been developed, the Digimon Tamer project directed by Kamishiro Company, although the project is in the testing phase, soon there will begin to be humans who will receive Digimon partners, with this they will try to develop ties between humans and Digimon and thus the Human-Digimon alliance will get stronger.
Although we can say that this project already has some positive results.
Eri, who still lives with Aizawa, can be seen drawing while watching TV, next to her is Gatomon, who is taking a nap.
Gatomon decided to stay with Eri-chan and now they are partners, not only that Eri-chan was officially adopted by Aizawa-sensei, so she is now officially Eri Aizawa, the first human to have a Digimon partner.
And she's not the only one, Endeavor also got a Digimon partner.
Endeavor is chasing a villain, down an alley, the villain was about to escape, however at the end of the alley, blocking the exit, GeoGreymon appears, making the villain stop dead and give up.
After the events of the war, ShineGreymon also decided to become Endeavor's Digimon partner, although Endeavor usually stays in his Agumon form and only Digivolves when they are working.
Agumon has officially become part of Endeavor's image.
Nezu, well, now Bokomon, continues his work as UA's principal.
Bokomon, now without the need to hide his identity, continues with his position at UA.
Although he insists that we keep calling him Nezu, I think he likes to have his own name instead of being called by the name of his Digimon species.
On the other hand, the digital world has also changed, the resistance has been officially dissuaded, with the demon lords eliminated there is no longer the need for it to remain active.
We haven't heard from Omegamon, Dukemon and Magnamon since they returned to the Digital World, but we do know that they continue their duties as royal knights, ready to protect the Digital World if another threat like Lucemon appears again.
BAN-TYO continue their duty as vigilantes in the digital world, helping whoever is in need.
The now four members of BAN-TYO watch the sunset of their world.
I have also heard that they already have a new member, someone who will take over when they are gone.
The four members look back, the new fifth member of BAN-TYO arrives, an Agumon Black, who although he is the new fifth member, still has a long way to go.
However, they do not realize that someone's spirit is watching them.
BanchoLeomon's spirit proudly watches his team, with a smile on his face and adjusting his cap he disappears.
As for us, the chosen ones, well...
- "Izuku!"- A voice calls Izuku's attention, who turns around and looks at Melissa who arrives with Shinso, Shoto and Kaminari. – "At last we found you! It's time, we have to go!"-
Izuku smiles and leaves with his friends.
…
…
…
Dagobah beach.
Once again everyone is at Dagobah, but this time for a different reason, now that the reconstruction is almost over and the wounds left by the war are finishing healing, it's time for one last celebration before returning to normality, or well, to the new normal.
Now a new ceremony takes place, the award ceremony for the heroes who defeated Lucemon, the six chosen ones.
Many people came to this event, not only heroes, but also civilians, the relatives of those who will be decorated and even some Digimon, among them BAN-TYO.
Endeavor is on stage, as the number one hero, he will be in charge of delivering the decorations to the heroes who saved not only the human world, but also the digital world.
On stage are the six chosen ones, Toya Todoroki, Denki Kaminari, Melissa Shield, Shoto Todoroki, Hitoshi Shinso and Izuku Midoriya.
Endeavor calls for silence from the crowd to start talking. - "It's been a while since we were able to win, but still we need to recognize those who gave us victory, those who defeated the one who threatened our worlds."- Endeavor said. – "As humanity's representative at this event, I am pleased to honor these six brave heroes who gave their all to defeat the enemy."-
- "Toya Todoroki, the hero of darkness, Night Lion."- Toya steps forward, at which point Endeavor gives him a medal, his family watching him with pride and happiness that he is back with them.
- "Denki Kaminari, the Stun Gun Hero: Chargebolt"- Kaminari steps forward, then Endeavor gives him a medal, his family watching him with pride of what he accomplished.
- "Melissa Shield, The Wind Heroine: Sylph."- Melissa steps forward, and Endeavor gives her a medal, her father, David Shield, who was allowed to leave I-Island to be present at this event, watches with tears in his eyes and a big smile as his daughter is receiving the medal.
- "Shoto Todoroki, The Winter Hero: Frost."- Shoto steps forward, at which point Endeavor gives him a medal, his family watching him with pride, just like his brother.
- "Hitoshi Shinso, The light hero: Wolf"- Shinso steps forwardto receive his medal from Endeavor, his mother watching him with tears of pride.
- "And finally, Izuku Midoriya, leader of the chosen ones, the Digital Hero: Agni."- Izuku takes a step forward, he hasn't been nervous for a long time, but this is the first time that many people are seeing him.
Inko Midoriya can't take it anymore and lets the tears come out of her eyes, she is very proud of her son.
Endeavor finishes handing Izuku his medal and then looks at the chosen ones. - "Gentlemen... and lady... I present you with the Medal of Honor for Great Merit."- Endeavor said. – "It is the highest decoration that someone can receive, it is only given to those whose bravery and intrepidity at the risk of their own life go beyond the call of duty while in battle against an enemy."- Endeavor pauses for a moment. – "Thanks to you, both the human world and the digital world are safe, so this not only has great value in the human world, but this medal also transcends to the digital world, which you also saved."- Endeavor turns to see the public. – "Let's give our heroes a big round of applause!"-
The applause and cheers did not wait, so the ceremony came to an end.
- "You know, I never would have imagined that one day I would receive a medal."- Kaminari said, he along with the other chosen ones are talking about what happened.
- "It was certainly unexpected."- Shoto said.
- "It was interesting, but I really don't care much, everything I did was just for the sake of doing the right thing, not to get a medal."- Izuku said.
- "I agree, although we won't say no to this either, after all we are the main representatives of this new stage, humans and Digimon working together."- Shinso said.
- "It's going to be complicated... but we will do our best."- Melissa said.
- "So... now what?"- Toya asked.
- "Well, I have a proposal for you."- The WHA president approaches the six chosen ones. – "Of course, we will not force you into anything."-
- "We hear you president."- Izuku said.
- "There are no words to say that you have done something incredible, that is why at the WHA we offer you the opportunity to officially become professional heroes from now on."- The president said.
This proposal takes the six of them by surprise, to be professional heroes from now on... it would basically be fulfilling their dreams sooner than expected.
Izuku already knows the answer, but before that he looks at his friends who nod with smiles on their faces. - "Well... we appreciate the proposal, but we have to reject it... we want to become heroes correctly, without shortcuts, we also want to become heroes together with the rest of our classmates."- Izuku said. – "At least that's the response of the five of us."- Izuku said as he looks at Shinso, Melissa, Shoto and Kaminari, then looks at Toya. – "I don't know what Toya-san wants."-
Toya is surprised but quickly looks at the president. – "Well... I've always wanted to be a hero... besides, Fuyumi keeps telling me that I should get a job... I accept the offer!"-
- "Perfect, we'll do the paperwork and find you a hero you can work under."- The president said.
- "No need, he can work under me."- Endeavor said.
- "Well, that makes things easier for us, we'll send you the paperwork soon."- The president said.
- "All right, I'll make sure you learn everything you need while you're under my leadership." - Endeavor said.
- "Working together with one of the chosen ones... cool!"- Agumon said.
- "I hope you are ready Toya, life as a professional will not be easy."- Endeavor said.
- "I'll be ready!"- Toya said.
The rest of the day passed calmly, calmly taking things into account.
The next day Izuku finds himself again on the roof of the class 1-A dorms, wearing his UA uniform and his medal on his shirt, seeing the sky again and enjoying the calm after yesterday.
In that, the rest of the chosen ones, except Toya, join him, all seeing the clear sky, Melissa stands next to him.
- "So... I guess we're back to normal."- Melissa said. – "Or well, the new normal."-
- "After everything that happened... it feels weird to go back to class."- Izuku said.
- "It feels weird but... I think I prefer that to fighting for the fate of two worlds."- Shinso said.
- "Yeah, this is definitely better than that."- Shoto said.
- "I guess we should go, it's time to go to class, and believe it or not, I'm more afraid of Aizawa getting mad at us than having to fight a war again."- Kaminari said.
- "Agree…"- They all said in unison.
Shoto, Shinso and Kaminari leave, Izuku and Melissa stay behind for a few seconds. – "You know... when I was a kid when I wanted to be a hero... I never expected something like this to happen... but it was worth it."- Melissa said before giving Izuku a quick kiss. – "It's been a good ride."- Melissa leaves to catch up with the others.
Izuku smiles and looks once more at the sky. - "The best…"- Izuku finally decides to join his friends and go to class, they may have won, but there is still a lot to do.
…

…
The end.

Or maybe not…

Unknown location.
In an unknown location, inside a laboratory, Rie Kishibe is monitoring the process of something on a screen on the wall in front of her, interestingly, despite being indoors, the woman is wearing sunglasses.
Kishibe carefully watches the progress on the screen, just then her coworker arrives. – "Suedou... how are we doing?"- She asked.
- "We're going well... no problems for now."- Suedou said as he hands Kishibe a briefcase.
Kishibe places the briefcase on the table and opens it, she smiles when she sees its contents.
Inside the briefcase there are six cards, each with a different symbol marking them, the six symbols are easily recognized, they are the symbols of the crests of the deadly sins, the only one that is missing is that of pride. – "Perfect…"- At that moment the computer finishes the process, and it ejects a seventh card with the symbol of pride, the missing symbol, Kishibe takes the card and carefully places it in the middle of the other six inside the briefcase and then closes it. – "With this we are one step closer."-
- "One step closer to reaching the pinnacle of human evolution."- Suedou said.
Kishibe hands Suedou the briefcase and he walks through a door, while Kishibe looks through the window at the project they are working on.
In the middle of the room is a gigantic tube which contains a large Digimon egg, Said egg is connected to various cables and energy sensors.
Kishibe takes a folder and looks at the documents inside, while no one sees her, she takes off her sunglasses showing her yellow eyes, however her sclera is black, her appearance begins to glitch slightly, the glitch stops, her innocent smile changes to an evil one when she sees the contents of the documents.
Project: DM02-104
Code Name: Ogudomon.

To be continued?
So yeah. Here we are.
I know what are you thinking... isn't this supposed to be the final chapter?
And I answer you... yes, this is the final chapter, The Digital Hero is over.
And now you will say... so what does the final scene mean? Is the sequel confirmed?
And I answer you... maybe?
Before talking about the final scene I want to say a few words... you know how I feel now that the Digital Hero is over.
That's right, it's over, The Digital Hero is over.
It has been interesting writing this story, and I sincerely appreciate the support it received, all the comments and suggestions you left, thank you very much.
I am very satisfied with how the story ended, and I hope you liked it, I really appreciate the support and your reviews (even those where you almost threatened me for having killed the protagonists).
At this moment all that remains is to say... thank you very much for accompanying me during these two years of history (well, almost two years) now that The Digital Hero is over I will focus on the other stories I have, I hope you give them the same love as they gave this one, or at least a little.
Now yes, the final scene...
Indeed, I am confirming the sequel to this story… The Digital Hero: Rise of Ogudomon! (Provisional title).
BUT!
I'm not going to publish it right now, first I want to focus on the other stories, which I paused to finish this one.
Even so, I know that some of you will want the sequel, so I have a proposal for you... go and read the rest of my stories and if I see that they receive, at least a little bit of the love that this one had... I'm going to start writing the sequel, if not you will have to wait for one of those stories to end to publish the sequel to The Digital Hero.
It all depends on you.
Well nothing, that's all for now and, at least for this story, forever.
I hope you give the other stories I have a chance.
Bye Bye.
