Chapter 39: Rage and Protection of Courage and Hope
The Digidestined all stared around them, too shocked to move or react to the noise around them.
Koushiro was the first to recover, quickly shaking Joe.
Koushiro: "Joe, can you check up on Ken? Is he ok?"
Joe snapped out of his stupor and shook his head.
Joe: "Give me a second Koushiro. I'll check. For now, I think we best retreat to somewhere safe in the Digital World."
Koushiro: "Got it."
Koushiro opened a gate and quickly got the Digidestined to go in.
The crowd around had started to get rowdy and was getting harder to control. Koushiro looked back at the crowd with a sad face.
"Sorry everyone, we couldn't stop this."
Koushiro entered the gate last and closed it.
The Digidestined arrived in the Digital World, outside the tree. Wisemon came to them soon after their arrival.
Wisemon: "Oh? It has been a while Digidestined. What brings you here today?"
Koushiro: "Wisemon… we just need a place to organise our thoughts."
Wisemon: "I see. Go wherever you need to go."
Wisemon began to hover away slowly, with Koushiro following behind him. Taichi and Yamato carried their siblings over to Komondomon. The Digidestined all went off to separate areas, with the first generation Digidestined separating to different areas, while the second generation walked off with their jogress partner.
Taichi and Yamato sat on Komondomon's back, leaving their siblings on the couch inside, with Agumon and Gabumon. Devimon and SkullKnightmon had not reverted yet and stood nearby, leaning on the tree. Taichi and Yamato stared at the sky.
Taichi: "What now..?"
Yamato: "Who knows…"
Taichi: "This sucks."
Yamato: "Yeah."
Taichi: "I don't think you understand…"
Yamato: "I saw what happened, Takeru is suffering too. I think I do understand."
Taichi: "Now I know you don't."
Yamato: "Then tell me. What do I not understand, Taichi."
Taichi had hot tears streaming down his face.
Taichi: "Being a… no… trying to be a leader sucks. I can't do this! I can't keep pretending like I can be a leader for all of you! I'm just not made for it! I'm reckless, I don't have plans! Anytime I've succeeded has just been dumb luck!"
Yamato quickly grabbed Taichi by the collar.
Yamato: "Don't you dare say that! You're the only one that can even attempt to lead us! You have the Courage to face everything this world has thrown at us! You say you don't have plans but every fight you've handled it perfectly! Dumb luck? I call that battle smart!"
Yamato let go of Taichi and sat down.
Yamato: "Look, why do you think we've been able to get so far? You have been carrying the most weight in our team. You even managed to fight Millennuimon by yourself when he captured all of us."
Yamato sighed and put his hands on Taichi's shoulders.
Yamato: "You've done a lot for us, Taichi. Don't you dare think you can't be our leader. We may have never said it officially, but you will always be the leader of the Digidestined."
Taichi looked away.
Taichi: "Thanks… Yamato."
Yamato gave a smile and sat back next to Taichi, both looking to the sky, ready to fight once again.
Sora and Piyomon sat on one of the branches. Sora leant back on the branch and let one of her legs sway over the side. She relaxed and looked off into the distance, nesting Piyomon in her lap.
Piyomon looked at her concerned.
Piyomon: "Sora…"
Sora hugged Piyomon tightly.
Sora: "I'm fine, Piyomon."
Sora and Piyomon looked off into the distance in silence for a while, until Piyomon spoke up.
Piyomon: "Sora, you don't have to be strong in front of me…"
Sora: "Piyomon…"
Piyomon got out of Sora's grasp. Piyomon landed in front of Sora.
Piyomon: "You're always caring for the others but… you don't take care of yourself."
Sora: "Piyomon, I…"
Piyomon: "I'm here for you Sora. You can rely on me to care for you."
Sora went forward and hugged Piyomon tightly.
Sora: "P-Piyomon…"
Piyomon: "I'll be with you forever, Sora. I love you!"
Sora: "Of course, I love you too Piyomon."
Sora wiped the tears in her eyes and let Piyomon sit comfortably in her lap. The two continued to stare off in the distance, with a new promise that had blossomed between them.
Koushiro was on another branch of the tree and was fully absorbed into his tablet. His eyes frantically went across the screen.
Tentomon watched in worry.
As Koushiro's tablet beeped again, he slammed his head back.
Tentomon: "Koushiro!"
Tentomon quickly flew over and grabbed Koushiro's tablet.
Tentomon: "Koushiro! You must take care of yourself! I'm not letting you have this!"
Koushiro's eyes were dark as he stared at Tentomon.
Koushiro: "Tentomon. Give it back."
Tentomon: "No, Koushiro! You need to stop hurting yourself!"
Koushiro leaned back and curled up, leaving his head on his knees, he barely whispered his words.
Koushiro: "I'm so useless…"
Tentomon placed the tablet down and flew to Koushiro, placing a claw on Koushiro's back.
Tentomon: "You're not useless, Koushiro."
Koushiro: "I am! I've been searching for days and I couldn't even see what was right in front of my eyes! I could've stopped Oikawa! Those children could have been alive!"
Tentomon: "Koushiro…"
Voice: "It's not your fault, you know."
Koushiro and Tentomon turned over and saw Wisemon hovering next to them.
Koushiro: "It is. Some child of Knowledge I am… can't even see what's in front of me."
Tentomon looked at Koushiro nervously while Wisemon looked as if he was smiling.
Wisemon: "Ah, but that's the problem, Koushiro. You're the child of Knowledge, not the child who can see the future."
Wisemon hovered near to Koushiro's ear.
Wisemon: "Knowledge isn't always right."
Wisemon began to float away, leaving Koushiro and Tentomon.
Tentomon: "Koushiro, Wisemon is right…"
Koushiro looked away.
Tentomon: "You don't always have to be right, Koushiro. What was that saying again? 'You're human only', right?
Tentomon flew in front of Koushiro.
Tentomon: "Koushiro, it's ok to make mistakes. No one is going to blame you, and I'll be by your side to protect you even if anyone does!"
Koushiro gently hugged Tentomon as tears ran down his face.
Koushiro: "T-Thank you, Tentomon."
Tentomon hugged Koushiro back and the two stayed like that, the silence providing a nice atmosphere for the duo.
Joe was with Daisuke and Ken. Ken was sitting down, while Ken was behind him, inspecting his neck. Daisuke was trying to comfort Ken. Wormmon stayed in Ken's lap, while Veemon and Gomamon were to the side playing.
Joe: "You don't seem to have any major injuries, but I can't really confirm it without any proper equipment. How's the pain?"
Ken: "It still hurts… but it is… better than just now."
Joe: "That's good."
Daisuke: "Thanks, Joe."
Joe: "It's no problem, I'm just doing what I can."
Joe looked at Gomamon.
Joe: "After all, it's not like Gomamon and I are that strong in a fight."
Daisuke: "What? I would say you're quite strong."
Joe: "Strong, but the rest are less destructive. Gomamon and I have very destructive attacks at full power. We can't aways use it when in a battle. We may end up hurting others if we do."
Ken: "But still, being able to freeze an enemy is really strong."
Joe: "Regardless, I'm just happy if I can help."
Ken gently stroked Wormmon's head, allowing Wormmon to relax on his lap.
Miyako and Iori were together relaxing with their partners in their laps near the base of the tree.
Miyako: "Hey, what was it that you told Oikawa?"
Iori: "Hmm? Oh, apparently my grandpa knew Oikawa. I never would have imagined that he was going to be our enemy."
Miyako: "I see…"
Iori: "My grandpa said… that he regretted not listening to him. So, I want to do my best for Oikawa. I want to help him for my grandpa."
Miyako: "Then let's get this done together! You with me, partner?"
Miyako extended her arm out in a handshake. Iori smiled.
Iori: "Of course, Miyako."
Iori and Miyako shook hands, determined to do their best.
Voice: "Devimon? And SkullKnightmon?"
Taichi, Yamato, Devimon and SkullKnightmon all turned towards the voice, with Devimon and SkullKnightmon getting in front of Komondomon protectively.
Taichi: "Gennai…"
Gennai: "Where are the bearers of Hope and Light?"
Yamato: "In Komondomon, they are resting."
Gennai: "Resting?"
Taichi: "Yeah they have been sleeping since we entered the Digital World."
Gennai: "Rally the Digidestined. We need to talk, now."
Taichi and Yamato looked confused, but they went on to contact the Digidestined. Soon, all of them had gathered outside of Komondomon.
Gennai: "Good to see all of you here, although I do wish we were in better circumstances."
Koushiro: "What happened?"
Gennai: "We found the location of the enemy, in other words, we know where that man, Oikawa, went."
Ken: "Really?"
Daisuke: "That's awesome!"
Gennai: "Digidestined, I believe you will be quite familiar with the location."
Taichi: "It's somewhere we've been before?"
Gennai: "I believe you remember the void that you fought Negamon in?"
Koushiro: "They're in that white void?"
Gennai: "Yes, and we have a way to get you there. We will be ready by tomorrow. Also, don't worry about leaving the Digital World defenseless. We have a very suitable candidate to help us."
A large gate opened behind Gennai and an Omegamon stepped out of it. It looked very familiar, although it was not white like Omegamon.
Yamato: "An Omegamon? No… its like that special form for Omegamon."
Gennai: "Yes, your Omegamon is Omegamon Alter-S, while this one is Alter-B, and I believe you know this one."
Agumon went up to him and gasped.
Agumon: "BlackWarGreymon!"
The Omegamon scoffed.
Noir: "Not anymore, just call me Noir."
Gennai: "Noir has been successful in averting the failed fusion. He has managed to take the power as his own, and it seems it was more successful than we originally planned."
Gennai's face turned into one of worry.
Gennai: "Is it possible to see the bearers of Hope and Light now?"
Taichi: "Sure, but they're sleeping so if you have questions for them, you'll probably have to wait."
Gennai: "That is fine."
Gennai went into Komondomon, leaving the Digidestined outside, waiting for him to come out. Agumon did his best to make conversation with Noir, who just gave a few brief responses back.
Soon, Gennai came out with a frown on his face.
Gennai: "It is as I feared."
Gennai brought his hand to his forehead and looked frustrated.
Gennai: "We were too focused on finding your enemy… we failed to ensure their safety."
Koushiro: "What do you mean? Are they alright?"
Gennai: "They are stable for now. Devimon and SkullKnightmon shouldn't be able to hold their forms if the bearers are asleep. They are not in a good state. They've taken too much burden from the power of the Holy Digimon."
Taichi: "What does that mean for them?"
Yamato: "Is there anything we can do?"
Gennai: "I'm not sure, but the only thing we know is their powers are unstable. The truth is, Qinglongmon and I just started observing them after Oikawa killed those children. We were just able to see that darkness."
Sora: "Will it be safe for them to fight with us?"
Gennai: "It… should be. Although should they push themselves to their limits again… QingLongmon and I can't… we aren't sure what could happen. I hate to say it but… it is likely that you will need all of you, Digidestined. This isn't a fight where we can leave anyone behind to rest."
Taichi: "You said tomorrow, right?"
Gennai: "Yes. Tomorrow at night in the Human World. We will be waiting for you where Oikawa disappeared. For now, head home and rest."
The Digidestined had looks of determination as they all nodded to one another.
Daisuke: "Alright then. Looks like this will be the final battle!"
Taichi: "Prepare yourselves. Tomorrow, make sure you have everything you need."
The Digidestined gave their approval, and they all went back to their homes to rest and prepare.
8pm, 31 December 2024
The Digidestined were getting ready for their final battle.
Taichi held a blue cloth in his hand. He stared at it for a while before clenching it in his fist.
"This will be our final battle. Everyone has to come back alive. I will make sure of it."
Voice: "Onii-Chan!"
Taichi turned around and saw Hikari in an outfit similar to her one four years ago.
Taichi: "So, you really did get Mom to buy you a new one."
Hikari: "Yes, but I don't wear it often… only on special occasions."
Taichi gave a grin. Hikari gave a small smile back and threw something at Taichi. Taichi caught it and looked at it in his hands.
His googles.
Taichi looked up to Hikari, both having a serious face. Hikari nodded. Taichi nodded back. He put the blue cloth around his head and put on his googles as well. Hikari gave a small smile.
Hikari: "Let's do this, Onii-Chan."
Taichi walked over and ruffled Hikari's hair.
Taichi: "Of course, Hikari."
The Digidestined all met up at the given area, with Mimi coming out of a gate that Ken had opened. Taichi observed everyone around him and had stifle his laughter.
Sora: "What's so funny, Taichi?"
Taichi: "Seems us first-generation Digidestined really went for nostalgic looks, huh?"
Yamato had a wristband on, just like in the first adventure. Sora had her blue hat on. Koushiro brought along the same bag he used to store his tablet in the first adventure. Mimi had her pink hat hanging on her back. Joe brought a similar bag, even if it was a little smaller than before. Takeru was wearing a green striped shirt, that looked similar to his outfit in the first adventure.
Sora: "Now that you mention it… you're right."
Joe: "Good to see I'm not the only one feeling nostalgic."
Takeru: "But why are only Hikari and I the ones that dressed up the same."
Takeru had his hands on his hips and said it more as a statement, rather than a question.
Yamato: "Blame it on your perfect sync with each other."
The first generation had a small laugh, before Taichi spoke up.
Taichi: "Alright, jokes aside, are we ready for this?"
The second-generation Digidestined walked up and involved themselves too.
Daisuke: "Of course!"
Miyako: "We're not going to lose this one!"
Taichi gave a grin.
Taichi: "Alright then, we just need to wait for Gennai to arrive. Did he say anything, Koushiro?"
Koushiro: "Let's see, he said he would be here at 9, so he should be here in a minute."
Taichi: "Alright. Let's do our best and win!"
The Digidestined gave a cheer, which was quickly followed up by Koushiro's tablet beeping.
Koushiro: "Perfect timing."
Gennai appeared out of Koushiro's tablet.
Gennai: "Good evening, Digidestined. I do wish the circumstances were not so… dire."
Koushiro: "It's fine, Gennai. What do we need to do?"
Gennai: "Lend me your tablet for a moment."
Koushiro handed Gennai the tablet, and before long a gate was opened.
Gennai handed Koushiro the tablet.
Gennai: "Once you enter, close it just like a normal gate. I wish you the best of luck Digidestined.
The Digidestined all had determined looks.
Taichi: "Put up your shields, everyone. You're going to need it."
The shields surrounded the Digidestined and they entered the gate. It closed behind them, leaving Gennai alone.
Gennai: "You can do this, Digidestined."
Gennai opened a gate for himself and went through it to the Digital World.
The Digidestined appeared out in a white void, feeling weightless.
Daisuke: "What on earth is this feeling?"
Ken: "It's like Imperialdramon but… I don't feel the same comfort."
Koushiro: "That's what it was like in this place. Get ready, we don't know where exactly our enemy is."
The Digidestined all evolved their Digimon to full power. Taichi looked off into the distance, seeing a small speck.
Taichi: "What's that over there?"
The Digidestined turned to it.
Koushiro: "Looks like we've found our enemy."
The Digidestined all nodded and flew over to the speck. As they reached it, the first-generation Digidestined were shocked.
Voice: "I see you've arrived."
Taichi: "But… it's only been four years…"
Voice: "But don't you remember? We're special."
Koushiro: "Tch, he's right. They were always evolving so rapidly."
Daisuke: "Who is this green… plant thing?"
Yamato: "Our first… and one of the last enemies."
Sora: "Algomon…"
Algomon: "Good to see I'm still remembered. Although, I thought you would have figured out my identity much sooner. After all, Mummymon and Archnemon are made by Oikawa and me. They have a lot of similarities, always using constricting attacks, no?"
Iori: "What happened to Mr Oikawa?!"
Algomon: "Foolish boy. Oikawa is no more. After all, I have been controlling him for so long. A human desperate for a taste of the Digital World, how easy it was to manipulate him."
Taichi: "You monster!"
Algomon: "Alas, his body was quite fragile, so I needed those two to guard his body. Oh well, it matters not now. Their fate has been sealed."
Koushiro: "What did you do?!"
Algomon: "Me? Not much, just sent them to the den of the beast."
After the trio teleported away
Mummymon and Archnemon found themselves in a weird dark void.
Mummymon: "What is this place?"
Archnemon: "Oi! Oikawa! Where are we?"
Oikawa(?): "You served me well. Although, I have no place for worthless ultimates now that I can stay in my true form."
Archnemon: "What did you say!?"
Oikawa(?): "Although, you could serve for a good snack for him."
Mummymon: "Who-"
A monstrous roar was heard, and Archnemon was immediately pierced by a weird red tentacle.
Mummymon: "Archnemon!"
Another tentacle shot out and pierced Mummymon.
Oikawa(?): "You two served me well. Goodbye."
Mummymon: "Archnemon… Are you ok?"
Archnemon: "Yeah… doing great… I've only been stabbed!"
Mummymon: "Ha… Ha… same as always, even in death… huh?"
Archnemon: "You're… the same fool as always…"
Mummymon: "At least… we die together…"
Archnemon: "Stupid… but then again… that's what I liked about you…"
The monstrous roar was heard again as Mummymon and Archnemon burst into data, being absorbed. A pair of red eyes glowed in the darkness and the shadowy figure began to evolve and grow larger.
Ken: "You killed them off…"
Miyako:"Just like that..?"
Algomon: "Their data… was far more valuable in his hands. However, he isn't ready to fight yet. How about I give a little appetiser?"
Algomon brought his hand up, and a dark feeling washed over the Digidestined.
Hikari's eyes widened.
Hikari: "NO!"
A dark gate opened, and waves were seen on the other side. Two Digimon walked through it, the gate closing behind them.
Algomon: "Hmm? It seems the gate couldn't last long enough. Oh well, do you really need your army for them, Dagomon?"
The large Digimon scoffed.
Dagomon: "Whatever, Daemon should be enough."
Daemon: "You say that like I'm just some fodder for your army. I don't appreciate that."
Taichi grit his teeth and clenched his fist.
Taichi: "So you're Dagomon?"
Dagomon: "Yes."
Taichi: "Everyone, go after Algomon and Daemon."
Hikari: "But, Onii-Chan-"
Taichi: "I'll handle Dagomon. This is personal."
Yamato: "Don't die."
Taichi: "Same thing, Yamato. I leave the rest to you."
Yamato: "Don't scare me this time."
Daemon: "Oh? If we are handling personal vendettas now. Then I shall fight you."
Daemon pointed at Seraphimon.
Seraphimon: "Takeru? What should we do?"
Takeru: "Daemon! You said you were a fallen Angel, right?"
Daemon: "Yes, I was once a Seraphimon like you. I shall settle the score and show the power of the darkness."
Takeru looked to Seraphimon and nodded.
Takeru: "Then we will accept your challenge. Everyone else, go for Algomon!"
The Digidestined had troubled looks, except Yamato and Hikari.
Hikari: "Everyone! We can trust Takeru and Onii-Chan. Trust in them!"
Yamato: "Yeah. They'll come out of this."
Everyone looked to the two of them and had small smiles.
Daisuke: "Alright then! Time to kick that plant's butt!"
The Digidestined all rushed off to confront Algomon. Taichi looked to Takeru.
Taichi: "It's personal for you too, huh?"
Takeru: "Yeah, he tried to hurt Ken. I won't forgive anyone who tries to hurt our friends."
Taichi: "Then let's do this, Takeru. We'll work together. If you can get a good opening, just call it out."
WarGreymon and Seraphimon rushed forward to their respective opponents. Seraphimon and Daemon's fists collided. They quickly flew around while continuously trading blow for blow with each other. Daemon quickly backed off and raised his arms.
Daemon: "Flame Inferno!"
Seraphimon: "Seven Heavens!"
Seraphimon's attack burst through Daemon's flames. Daemon looked a little surprised before flying up. Seraphimon expected this and was already flying towards Daemon rapidly. Seraphimon towards Daemon and kicked him, sending Daemon back. Daemon caught himself and flew back to Seraphimon.
The two continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat, exchanging blows. Daemon landed a solid punch on Seraphimon, pushing him back. Suddenly, Takeru heard a voice from somewhat far away, followed by a voice over his Digivice.
"War…mon… Slide Evolution! Blitz… mon…"
Courage: "Takeru! NOW!"
Seraphimon and Takeru turned over to Dagomon, seeing him holding BlitzGreymon. Dagomon was spraying a liquid from his mouth. BlitzGreymon had his electric shield up, blocking the attack.
Takeru: "I see. Seraphimon!"
Seraphimon: "Ascension Hallow!"
Bolts of lightning struck Dagomon's liquid attack, electrocuting him, but leaving BlitzGreymon unharmed.
Daemon quickly hit Seraphimon.
Daemon: "Focus on your own fight!"
Seraphimon grabbed Daemon's arm and held him in place.
Daemon: "What are you-"
"BlitzGreymon Slide Evolution! WarGreymon!"
WarGreymon slammed into Daemon and began to rapidly slash at him. Daemon was unable to defend himself. After a few slashes, Seraphimon let go of Daemon. Seraphimon and WarGreymon quickly backed away slightly, raising their arms.
WarGreymon: "Gaia Force!"
Seraphimon: "Seven Heavens!"
The two attacks struck Daemon, leaving him injured.
Takeru: "Thanks, Taichi, WarGreymon."
Taichi: "No problem, you helped first."
WarGreymon quickly dashed back to Dagomon, knocking some of Dagomon's tentacles with his gauntlets.
Dagomon: "Smart of you to use lightning like that, but ultimately it makes no difference."
Taichi: "What's up with this guy? We can barely even dent him!"
Taichi brought his Digivice up.
Taichi: "Dagomon… Ultimate!?"
Dagomon chuckled.
Dagomon: "I'm quite a powerful ultimate, plus I've been absorbing the dark data of the dark ocean for so long. Do you really think I would be that easy to beat?"
Dagomon used his tentacles to strike WarGreymon. WarGreymon used his gauntlets to block the attacks, but they seemed like they were going to break.
As WarGreymon continued to strike Dagomon, his gauntlets broke. WarGreymon quickly dashed back, taking his gauntlets off.
Dagomon: "Honestly, I thought you would put up more of a fight."
WarGreymon and Taichi snarled. WarGreymon threw both of his gauntlets towards Dagomon. Dagomon quickly brought his tentacles in front of him and blocked them. As he moved his tentacles away, WarGreymon was right in front of him. WarGreymon quickly punched him hard.
Dagomon recoiled back, but as he regained his senses, WarGreymon wasn't in front of him anymore.
"WarGreymon Slide Evolution! BlitzGreymon!"
Dagomon looked down to the source of the voice and saw BlitzGreymon slamming into him.
BlitzGreymon: "Plasma Stake!"
Dagomon recoiled in pain and backed off. BlitzGreymon chased after him and continuously slammed his fists into Dagomon. BlitzGreymon's rotated the thunder verniers on his back.
BlitzGreymon: "Thunder Vernier!"
The electricity hit Dagomon and pushed him back.
"BlitzGreymon Slide Evolution! WarGreymon!"
WarGreymon: "Gaia!"
As Dagomon recovered and looked up, he saw WarGreymon holding an incredible Gaia Force.
WarGreymon: "Force!"
WarGreymon threw the attack towards Dagomon. Dagomon quickly dashed out of the way, just barely being scraped by it.
Seraphimon and Daemon were grappled together, trying to gain an advantage in strength. Seraphimon saw the sudden light behind Daemon. Seraphimon quickly brought his knee up, hitting Daemon. Daemon recoiled in pain.
Seraphimon quickly spun, gaining momentum. He kicked Daemon hard, causing Daemon to fly towards the large light, which was WarGreymon's Gaia Force. Seraphimon brought his hands forward.
Seraphimon: "Seven Heavens!"
The attack connected with Daemon, sending him towards the Gaia force. The two attacks connected and ended up in a large explosion, leaving only data particles behind.
Seraphimon: "It seems we've won."
Takeru: "Yeah… let's go help Taichi and WarGreymon."
Seraphimon and Takeru turned to Dagomon and WarGreymon, seeing WarGreymon trying to punch through the tentacles while his Brave Shield blocked any ranged attacks from Dagomon.
WarGreymon was struggling to keep up. Without his gauntlets, he had no chance of reducing the number of tentacles he had to deal with. The gauntlets weren't cutting through the tentacles, but they helped. Just as WarGreymon was about to get grabbed, Dagomon was suddenly sent flying back.
Taichi: "Takeru! Did you beat Daemon already?"
Takeru: "Yeah, thanks to WarGreymon's Gaia Force."
Dagomon: "Daemon was defeated?"
Dagomon quickly looked over to Algomon, seeing him about to get defeated.
Dagomon: "It seems this battle is over."
Before they could react, Dagomon opened a gate behind him and disappeared.
Taichi: "What..?"
Takeru: "He just left..?"
Seraphimon: "I don't think he went to the Digital World. It didn't last long, but that gate felt like it went back to the dark ocean."
WarGreymon: "Then, let's go help the others."
WarGreymon and Seraphimon rushed over the Algomon, seeing CresGarurumon slashing at Algomon. Seraphimon kicked Algomon, causing him to recoil. Their sudden arrival surprised all of the combatants.
WarGreymon quickly got in front of Algomon and punched him, before charging up a Gaia Force. Algomon was quickly engulfed. As the attack dissipated, Algomon was left too injured to fight.
Sora: "Taichi!"
Yamato: "Good to see you back."
Taichi: "Dagomon got away."
Takeru: "We got Daemon, but we think Dagomon went back to the dark ocean."
Algomon: "What a… coward… oh well…"
Suddenly Algomon started to laugh, surprising the Digidestined.
Taichi: "What's so funny?"
Algomon: "It'll be close… but Daemon and my data should be just enough…"
Suddenly, a monstrous roar was heard and Algomon suddenly burst into data. The data from Algomon and Daemon started to move in a direction at incredible speeds.
Daisuke: "What was that?!"
Ken: "Was that roar disrupting data?"
Koushiro: "No… was it an invisible attack?"
Mimi: "Everyone! Look!"
Joe: "The data is moving in that direction!"
Miyako: "What's that?"
Iori: "There's something there!"
The Digidestined saw a large figure far away from them. It seemed that it was near where they entered. They quickly rushed over to it, with Metallicdramon reaching there almost instantly.
Metallicdramon only managed to faintly catch something entering a gate. He couldn't tell what it was, and his partners didn't have enough time to scan it. As the rest of the Digidestined caught up, Metallicdramon shook his head.
Metallicdramon: "I couldn't tell what it was. Got away before we could see it."
Koushiro: "It's fine… I need to contact Gennai."
Just as Koushiro brought his tablet out, it began to beep. Koushiro opened his tablet and saw Gennai's face, although it was unclear and looked like they were breaking connection.
Gennai: "Koushiro! … Digi… World… danger… can't… bring… back… find… way… yourself… try!"
The message quickly cut off. Koushiro looked desperate.
Koushiro: "Gennai can't contact us properly, we need to find a way out ourselves…"
Voice: "I'm… sorry…"
The Digidestined turned and saw a flickering body.
Iori: "Mr Oikawa!"
Oikawa: "This… is my… fault… I'm… sorry…"
Iori: "Mr Oikawa, save your strength!"
Oikawa: "You're… Hiroki's boy…"
Iori: "We'll get out of here soon, please save your strength Mr Oikawa!"
Oikawa: "You will… get out of here… soon… please… defeat that monster… he… gave up… control of my body… once he reached here… I don't… have much time… left…"
Oikawa began to glow.
Koushiro: "What..? What's happening?"
Oikawa: "He controlled… my body… made it his… but… there is still… lingering power… get out… of here… and save everything…"
A gate opened in front of the Digidestined.
Koushiro: "A gate… it… it leads to the Digital World!"
Oikawa: "I don't… deserve redemption… but please… save the dream Hiroki and I… had when we were children…"
Koushiro: "The gate is closing! Quickly! Everyone!"
The Digidestined all ran through the gate, except Miyako and Iori.
Miyako: "Iori! We need to go now!"
Oikawa: "Go… It is already… too late for me…"
Iori had tears in his eyes.
Iori: "I'll avenge you Mr Oikawa! I'll…"
Oikawa: "I… don't deserve anything… just… protect your father and my… last memory of childhood…"
Miyako grabbed Iori and pulled him through the gate, as Oikawa's body began to disappear, small balls of light came from his body and dissipated.
The Digidestined arrived in the Digital World, seeing ruin all around. A large figure looming over it all, as big as Millennuimon. Noir desperately fighting. All their friends from before doing their best to help out. Koushiro brought out his Digivice.
Koushiro: "Arkadimon… Ultra."
That's the end of this chapter. :D
Just 2-3 more chapters including epilogue. I'm decided to just upload these 3 first cos I was really behind schedule on uploads and I didn't want to make y'all wait longer.
