First Terra

Chapter 12: Alpha & Omega

Prologue: Well, damn me, you bastard!! I blew it up!! I blew it up!! If you ever have seen 'Planet of the Apes,' then you should get it. It's the last line of the movie. Charlton Heston's character says it when he sees the Statue of Liberty half submerged walking on a beach. Actually, he says, "Damn you!! You bastards!! You blew it up!! You blew it up!!" while falling to his knees. It fits what just happened in Chapter 11 perfectly. A reminder: Justin WILL return in this chapter!! Well, now to recap, the only surviving digidestined, Kari!!

"Well everything started normally until a comet hit and leveled Paris. This had us original digidestined tied up working on trying to find out if it was NeoApocalymon's or not. The new kids became increasingly nosy, trying to find out what was going on, but Tai said not to tell them anything as so to keep them out of our mess. Izzy was doing a great job of it too, jamming satellites, distracting them, making TK and me fake D3's, falsifying newspaper headlines, and even hiring digimon to cause a ruckus in the Digital World. But it all fell apart when Daisuke overheard Izzy talking to Tai about Lucimon and Lewis on his cell phone. Meanwhile, Abyssmon came the night before and stole two of Lewis and Lilymon's children, Holly and Jill. Izzy and Tai left on a frantic search in the Digital World, and Lewis had to keep up appearances and meet with NASA officials about the comet and raising the budget, which the Democrat-controlled Congress has been cutting. The comet in fact did turn out to be NeoApocalymon's. He used his charisma and good looks to secretly take control of a rebel Yugoslav faction, and from there slaughtered thousands of innocent people to take power, then he killed his comrades. He faked a nuclear scare to try to destroy Lewis, then had a staged attack on the Presidential plane with fake US fighter jets to further cause mischief. By doing so, he was able to ditch his pseudo-identity and sneak back to the Digital World. During a CNN interview with him, Lewis found out who he really was and warned Mimi. Then Lucimon attacked Houston with Abyssmon and two new beings we never saw before. Daisuke conned us all into going into the Digital World to follow Izzy. We tried to silence and keep him from finding Izzy, but then we were ambushed by Lucimon's goons Aresmon and Tarturomon and we were forced to reveal our secrets. During the battle, one of Saintangewomon's teardrops hit Veemon and gave him the power to Warp Digivolve to Imperialdramon. He smashed Aresmon and helped seal a rift and destroy Tarturomon. We spilled our guts to Ken and the new kids and decided to find Izzy. When we caught up to them, Tai was furious, but Daisuke convinced him he was being foolhardy for not taking their help. Mimi, after learning about NeoApocalymon, left the others an E-Mail and tried to warn Izzy and Tai, but that mysterious cult found her and trapped her by pumping her full of tranquilizers. Matt got her message and rode to us on Metalgarurumon to tell us of NeoApocalymon's return. We then picked up Mimi on Izzy's EDI. We followed to where the psycho-cult had taken her. In Houston, Lucimon unleashed what he called his 'Two Ultimate Warriors.' They attacked Lewis and Lilymon, but to their surprise, to Lewis and Lilymon's surprise, they were the very children they loved and were searching for, but stripped of their childhood and now in their mid-20's. They attacked them without mercy, but Jill's memories were what saved her. She was stopped after a point blank shot of Lilymon's Flower Cannon to her mid-section. Holly was much harder to stop. She was much easier to convince that nobody cared about her, and unleashed her rage and hatred upon Lewis. Her scar was how Lewis learned of her identity. She beat him to a pulp and then left for the Johnston Space Center. Back in the Digital World, Mimi met her stalker face to face. Instead of being the psycho Mimi thought she was, she was a kind, gentle woman who was trying to warn her of something bad, but just couldn't remember what that bad thing was. Miki, as she called herself, freed Mimi and helped her to escape, but the weird cult caught them. Tai and the rest of us got there and found out that the leader of the cult was former Vice President Al Gore. Tai and Al got into a fist fight after Al stopped rambling nonsense about a Republican demon. I guess he was talking about Lewis. We got out of there, when as soon as we did, NeoApocalymon blasted them into oblivion, just because they were there too. When he caught up to us, it was like he was 10 times stronger. He started to freeze Mimi the way he was frozen into a comet. Our digimon Terravolved except Patamon and Salamon, who were still too weak to fight, and stopped this. NeoApocalymon threw DaoGarurumon around like a rag doll and into a wall of fire. Hawkmon Warp Digivolved to his Mega form of Valkyrimon and pulled DaoGarurumon from the firewall. He, with the help of Paladingreymon, actually managed to distract NeoApocalymon long enough to thaw out Mimi's legs. Raijinkabuterimon thrashed away at him, and then she Terravolved and repeated what she did back on Lucimon's island. At that point, Lucimon intervened and got NeoApocalymon away before she could unleash her power. Her power though, healed all of us, re-energized Raijinkabuterimon, and we followed them to the Digital Moon. After a brief stay at the local hospital, which was the only place in the city with people, Lewis broke out and searched for Holly. He found her where Jill said she'd be, trying to arm the prototype Star Wars satellite. Lewis battled in a war of wits, and he won when he entered the confirmation code for her, proving his love for her. Abyssmon arrived to cause more trouble, but the Lewis-Holly double team was too much for Abyssmon. Afterwards, Lewis still had to disarm the satellite. After many attempts, he gave up and punched in Password for the password, which actually worked. We got to the moon to find this rag-tag resistance trying to get rid of the Overlords. With the help of the Lunar digimon, we found them and waged an epic war, but SeaLilymon and Bahamutmon paid the ultimate price in fighting it. They became these strange new digieggs that looked nothing like any digiegg we ever seen in the Digital World before. We chased NeoApocalymon and Lucimon back to Houston, where after a near crash, Sora and the rest of the group met up with Lewis and us. We tried to stop them, but they seemed so powerful, but when Gabrielmon, Archangewomon, and Lewis combined their powers into one force called the 'Wrath of the Gods' they destroyed Abyssmon easily. Things became an absolute nightmare when NeoApocalymon pulled out a black vial and a safe, which contained two Power Nexuses. They used the vial to re-power them, and NeoApocalymon supercharged his, making Lucimon and NeoApocalymon into Beelzebumon and Obliviomon. We tried to stop them, but they slaughtered ThorXaviomon, Paladingreymon, and Gabrielmon as though they were baby digimon. It didn't matter how much armor they wore or how strong they were, they were destroyed in one hit by those two. Tai tried to save Mimi from one of Obliviomon's attacks, but it got him and killed him as well. Remembering all those before her and those who died in the name of good, she finally understood Miki's warning and knew what the unified powers of all the crests meant: Life. Knowing this, she unlocked the Power of the Nexus and Omega Terravolved to this mighty Archangel Flower Nymph called AngeGaiasapia. But she still wasn't enought to beat two Omega digimon. Trying to protect her, NeptuneZudomon, Joe, TK, Iori, Patriotaviamon, DaoGarurumon, Raijinkabuterimon, Daedalusmon, Imperialdramon, Valkyrimon, and Grandkuwagumon were all obliterated. The rest of us huddled in fear with only Archangewomon and Digmon to protect us. Mimi tried desperately to stop Obliviomon, but she then grew larger than Earth itself. He smacked her with a five attack combo, ending her short life. Lewis made the link between Miki and me while preparing for the end. Everyone started trying to make sense of it all, when I broke down and took the two Digieggs from the moon from the ground, and Gatomon and myself were whisked away in a beam of light. Seconds later, Obliviomon slammed his hands down, and used his sinister necromatic powers to rip the Earth to shreds in his palms. The explosion caused more chaos and destruction, as fragments of Earth hit other planets and made them do the same. Fragments also hit the sun, making it go supernova, just like in Sora's dream. I woke up outside of Woodstock in 1969 with the Lunar Digieggs stolen. What am I going to do now?"

Kari looks at Gatomon. "Why did we end up at Woodstock? I thought we would be somewhere more important, like back on the Digital Moon before we followed NeoApocalymon." Gatomon says, "I don't know Kari, but if we have a second chance, then let's use it." Kari takes out her EDI. "It's detecting them, and another person in the room with them. I wonder, can the EDI give me data on people who don't have digivices?" She flips through the subroutines, until she spots a program called 'Historical Database.' Kari looks at it. "Wonder what it does?" Gatomon goes, "We won't know until you open it." Kari opens the file. The EDI says, "This file can be used to identify unknown targets. It only can be used in the past or on a target that currently has a file. Do you wish to use?" Kari pushes a button to confirm. "Scanning..... Scan complete." Nearly a hundred names and holo-pictures pop up. "Limit the names to those nearest to the Lunar Digieggs." Kari requests. "Narrowing field. Change complete." On stage was the members of the group 3 Dog Night. In the rooms next to the room with the eggs are The Who and the Rolling Stones, and the EDI lists the members and basic biographical info, along with pics of each one. In the room and leaving it was Jymi Hendrix. "Okay Gatomon, we know where they are. Now we got to get them." She is about to go when she looks at her clothes. "I think we stick out like sore thumbs, Gatomon." Kari rummages through her pockets. "Good thing Lewis gave me all this old change." She looks through it all and checks it all out. "Wow Gatomon. We got over $150 in quarters and half dollars, and here's that state quarter he said was in with them. How obvious, it's North Carolina's quarter, his home state. Well, let's get some clothes." They go down the road a bit and find a store. Kari takes some clothes and tries them on. While in the dressing area, some hippies start eyeing Gatomon. "Uh, hey, man. You still got some dye?" Another says, "You said dye!!" And starts laughing. One of them says, "Uh yeah, but what will we use it on. I mean, we like, tye-dyed everything in here, including, like, your hair man!!" The hippie goes, "That was some GOOD maui-wowie!!" A female hippie says, "Hey, guys, why don't we like, tye-dye that girl's cat!!" They all start nodding their heads. Gatomon, who has been sitting outside, hears them coming towards her. She thinks, "What are they doing? What do a bunch of stoned hippies want with me? I don't like the look in that one with a thick beard. Kari, where are you?" They grab her, and when they do, her gloves fall off. She has this look of helplessness as they cart her into the back room. "Eep." she goes as she enters. Kari comes out dressed in a baggy tye-dye T-shirt and bellbottoms, and sporting those small-lensed purple glasses (Like John Lennon wore) and a tye-dye bandanna over her forehead with the peace symbol in the center. One of the hippies goes, "Far out...." and spaces out looking at Kari. She asks, "How much for this?" The woman says, "We'll take like, 30% off, for being such a sweety." The guy with the beard adds it all up. "Well, that's $2.95 for the shirt, $4 for the pants, $.50 for the bandanna, and $12 for the hemp." Kari says, "But I didn't buy any hemp." The guy goes, "Oh yeah.... I bought the hemp. Here dude, here's your 12 dollars." He hands the money to the woman, who hands it to the beardless hippie. "Here, give this to Manny to put in the register." The beardless guy hands the money back to the bearded hippie. "For me? Cool man.... I get hemp, and 12 dollars. This rules man." The other hippie comes out from the back with Gatomon, all tye-dyed in various reds, oranges, greens, and whites. "Uh, like while you were changing and stuff, we took the liberty of tye-dying your cat." She looks kinda spaced out. Gatomon waves her gloveless hands in front of her and says, "Look at all the pretty colors Kari. Whee!!......" One of the hippies says to Manny, "See, I told you she talks!!" Manny goes, "You're a moron, Brian. Everyone knows cats can't talk. It's the weed. Remember what I said? Weed gives you awesome psychic powers man!! You're like, reading her thoughs and stuff." Brian goes, "Cool!! I can read thoughts!!" He nods, but then he says, "But the cat's high too. Oh my god!! She can read my thoughts too... Ahhh....." He panics and runs into the door frame, knocking himself out. The woman looks at him and says, "He hit the frame and fell down. Man, he's stupid." Manny looks at Kari. "Wow, psychidelic man!! Who tye-dyed the cat? Can we help you?" Kari goes, "Uh, no." She walks out. The woman says, "That girl was far out." Manny says, "Whoever dyed that cat must of been a stone cold gas!!" He looks at the money in his hand. "That reminds me. I still owe you for the hemp." And Manny hands the woman the money again. Kari picks up Gatomon's gloves. "I've never said anything mean about nice people before, but if you ask me Gatomon, I think they've smoked themselves retarded. It was like being in the room with four Peyotemon!! Yoo-hoo, Gatomon?!" Gatomon moves her hand at a big.... nothing. "Hey, hold still, little yellow submarine....." Kari looks at her, "Not you too!!" Gatomon giggles, "Hey, Kari, look at the little red and yellow and green bears walking with the talking flowers. Hey, I hear Jerry Garcia..... Cool....." Kari goes, "Leave it to hippies to tye-dye my digimon and get her high."

Kari goes back to the field where everyone is. She slides behind everything and gets near the backstage area. "I think this is the room." She looks in and sees no one. "Gatomon, could you go in and get the Digieggs?" Gatomon smirks, "Digi what..... You said Digi...... Hey, now I'm hungry. Got any eggs? I can make eggs benedict. I said dict. Ha, ha, ha....." She falls over idiotically laughing at..... nothing. Kari looks at Gatomon. "I think those hippies were doing more than pot in there. Come on." She picks her up. "Hey, I'm floating here." She goes when picked up. Kari climbs in the window of the room. "Good thing this room had a window. Don't know how'd I get back here without one." She looks around. "There they are. No, stop Gatomon!!" Gatomon is trying to crack open SeaLilymon's egg. Kari takes it from her. "But I'm hungry now, Kari....." "These eggs aren't for eating, they're for hatching." Then the door opens and Jymi comes in. "Hey you!! Leave those Fabrege eggs alone!! I found them fair and square!! Guards!!" Kari yoinks Gatomon and runs with SeaLilymon's egg. Jymi goes, "For someone to steal it and not try to break it open for food, then they know how valuable they are. They must be worth a lot. I'll keep a close eye on this one." Kari is running from security. The hippies are cheering her on. "Yeah, run from the fuzz!!" They get a lead as security has to fight through the crowd. They see a pond in the distance. Kari looks at Gatomon. "Gatomon, digivolve to Angewomon!!" Gatomon says, "Angel, what angel? Where? Wait....., there it is!! Pretty angel." She starts staring at the sun. "Nevermind." She keeps running and she passes the pond, where hippies lay nude and were skinny dipping. "Hey Kari, how about we go skinny dipping?" Kari looks at her and says, "Uh..., no." She keeps running for another five minutes, when she finally stopped in a forest. She looks around, then checks her EDI. No other pings. "They must have stopped chasing me. Well, at least I got one of them. Gatomon?" Gatomon had fallen asleep. "Okay, next time I'll sleep while you run for your life." She looks at it looks at how beautifully crafted it is, with its almost life-like waves and storm clouds, it feels like a hurricane is going to come out of it and drench you. The flowers and vines growing on it are lively and in bloom. Kari looks at it. "I wonder why her egg has the Crest of Courage on it?" She yawns. "I guess Gatomon has the right idea. Running from security and escaping from the end of the world has been tiring. Maybe I do need to rest." She falls asleep next to a tree.

Back at Woodstock, the guards come back exhausted. "We're sorry, but we have no way to identify her, no facial traits seeing as how we never saw her face, and half the people here are wearing the same thing she was wearing. I don't think it's possible to find her. We can step up security on that other egg." Jymi says, "This thing looks like it was painted by some master artist. That thing must be worth thousands, if not millions...." He grins.

Hours have passed, and Kari gets up. "It's night already?" She wakes Gatomon up. She grabs her head and says, "Those hippies and that leaking LSD lab. All those fumes and smoke from their bongs, oh my head is racing." She looks at herself and sees what they did to her. "Ahhh!! I thought all of this was part of that acid-induced dream!! My fur...." She says, putting her gloves back on. "They say LSD causes flashbacks. That means those losers screwed me up for the rest of my nine lives." She cups her hands, "THANKS FOR RUINING MY LIFE!!" she yells into the night. Kari goes, "Let's get something to eat." Kari and Gatomon walk along until they see a diner. They go in, and there are more hippies. "The more we seem to try to get away from them, the more we meet." Gatomon mutters. They go in and go to the counter. A bearded long-haired hippie in a tye-dye apron comes up. He is wearing a name tag. It says Manny. Kari sees him. "Manny?" He looks at her and says, "Whoa, cool... How'd ya know my name? Are you like, psychic or something?" Kari goes, "No, it says your name on that name tag." He looks down. "Hey, cool. I got a name tag, man." Another hippie waitress hands her a menu. Kari looks down it, and notices everything is made with hemp. Even the menu is made from hemp. Kari asks, "Hey, guys, is there anything here that's hemp free?" Manny looks in the kitchen. "Hey, Brian, can we do that?" He asks in complete puzzlement. The waitress says, "I think the Peyote stew has no hemp in it." Manny goes, "And I don't think we use any in the magic brownies or shroom cookies. Or do we?" Manny looks at the digiegg. "Hey, psychodelic easter egg......" He stares at it and spaces out. Gatomon tells Kari, "I have a weird feeling these are the same hippies from the clothing store. I mean, the bearded one is Manny, the one in the back is Brian, and that's the same woman." Kari goes, "I think you're right, Gatomon." The woman goes, "Well, what'll you have?" Kari says, "Well, it's hard to choose. I mean, I haven't found anything that doesn't have any hallucingens or marajuana or hemp in it." The waitress goes, "I don't know if that can be done?" Brian goes, "I think she's a Narc!! I think that cat of her's is a narc!!" The woman goes, "Shut up, Brian!! You think everyone's a narc!!" She motions Kari to come with her. "Could you show us, oh great one?" Kari goes, "Well, okay. At least I'll get to eat something." They head back and the woman grabs Manny. "This swinger is going to show us how to cook without hemp!! You can stare at the trippy egg later." He goes, "Okay, Moonglow, I'm coming. Man, now I'm thirsty." A glowing crack can be seen on the egg.

In the back, Kari takes an apron and looks for some material. She looks around and finds nothing but hemp, weed, and rolling papers. "I see your problem. You're not using anything other than drugs, dough, and sugar to cook." "You mean, there's other stuff out there? Whoa, you're blowing my mind." Manny responds. Kari says, "We'll be right back." Gatomon and Kari leave and head down the road a bit to a general store. When they come back with vegetables, fruits, and seeds, she finds the diner in smoke. "Odd, it doesn't smell like smoke, and it's all humid in here." Gatomon goes. They feel their way to the counter, where they see a glowing object. "It looks like the Digiegg....." They near, and the fog isn't as thick. "Hey, where's the top half of the egg?" Kari says. Then, the water-looking part becomes a crystal bowl with a pool of water in it. The vines enter the water and in the water is a seed. The seed grows out four vines with giant leaves on the ends. The water rises up and the fog lifts. The water takes on the shape of a raindrop wearing a tiara of flowers near the top of the drop. The seed is in the center of the drop, and the vines protude out the sides like tendrils or arms. Then, a face is visible below the vines. The thing drops out of the bowl and into Kari's arms. "Hello, I'm Germinamon. I'm a baby Plant and Water digimon from the moon. Who are you?" She says to her, "I'm Kari, of course!!" "Kari who?" Kari thinks to herself, "Is it possible she doesn't remember a thing?" She jumps up and hovers next to Kari by swinging the vines like helicopter blades. "All I know is that I'm here, and I had a friend. I think his name was Bahamutmon, but I don't know what ever happened to him." The hippies come out from behind the counter. Manny goes, "That is one freaky trippin chicken." Moonglow adds, "Of course it is. It's a moon chicken, like it said." Manny retorts, "Hey, cool, a moon chicken. Hey, come here moon chicken and lay us an egg!!" Brian cups his hands and yells, "NARC!!" Moonglow smacks him, "Shut up. She's no narc!!" Germinamon says, "Uh, Kari, I'm hungry. Know where I can find some good soil?" Manny goes, "Hey, we know where plenty of that is. Follow me!!" They take them to a back room, which had gardening tools and another two doors, one leading to a room Gatomon was all too familiar with, and the other went outside to a garden. "I didn't know you guys had a garden. Now I get some of these seed to hopefully grow in time." "Maybe I can help!!" Germinamon as she inserts her tendrils into the earth. They glow as she absorbs nutrients. "What do you guys got growing here? It tastes nasty, but it's kinda nutritious." Moonglow says, "Oh, that's our stash of cannabis." Germinamon goes, "Yay. Isn't there anything better here?" Kari says, "Well, I was going to show them how to grow other stuff, stuff that doesn't in a hallucingenic effect." Brian goes, "You mean there's actually plants out there like that? They must suck!!" Germinamon finishes her feeding, and then she glows.

"Germinamon digivolve to Algaemon!!"

Resulting from the digivolution was a digimon that, if described vaguely, is half Palimon, half mermaid. On her head was two vines of algae, two large leaves, and a Yokomon-like flower on her head. Her head was almost the same to Palimon, except her teeth. Her teeth were more human-like. Her arms were like Palimon's, except there was no varicose vein in her arm, and she had defined shoulder muscles and biceps. At the end of her hand, it split off into finger like appendages, including a thumb-like one. Halfway up them, they end and are replaced by vines that are colors of the moon. Her skin was a very light green from the top of her head down to her fins. She profiles herself. "I am Algaemon, an In-Training Vaccine Plant/Water Hybrid Digmon from the Digital Moon. Unlike you Digital World Digimon, we Lunar Digimon become classified after our Baby level. My Bubble blow and Lunar Mist Attacks can keep me safe." Manny goes, "Hey, what happened to your freaky chicken?" Kari goes, "She's quite advanced looking for an In-Training digimon, Gatomon." Algaemon says, "Plant the seeds, Kari!!" Kari gets out the seeds and quickly plants them. Gatomon runs around helping. After a bit, the hippies start to help. When the seeds are planted, Algaemon gets in the center of the planting area.

"Lunar Mist!!"

She stands there on her fins and sprays out this glowing water and pollen from the flowers. The water hits the ground and nothing seems to happen, then as the full moon strikes the ground where she's at, it starts to glow with the moon. "Let's get some rest." She says, going into the diner. The next morning, they went out and saw the plants grown. "Growth like this takes up to a month. Algaemon, how did you make these plants grow so fast?" Kari asks. "It was the moonlight." Manny gets up. "Oh, geez. What happened out here?" Kari asks, "You don't remember?" Gatomon goes, "We planted all of this stuff, and she made it grow." Manny goes, "I think I remember. Man, my head is racing. Being sober blows." Kari says, "Why don't try to stay sober. The feelings you have will wear off. Hey, I'm sober and I don't suck." "Yeah, but I had this dream, where I became a stock broker. It was weird." Kari talks to Algaemon, "Say, how much more will this all grow before you have to mist it again?" Algaemon says, "I'll probably have to mist it tonight, but in that time they'll grow 2 months older." Kari remarks, "By the end of the week, we'll have fully-grown plants." Manny asks, "Could you help us with the diner. We can pay you." Kari thinks about. "Okay."

A year goes by, and the diner is quite prosperous. Brian is still stoned out of his mind, but Manny and Moonglow are off the drugs. The clothing store also took off. They have become a popular tourist stop in Woodstock. Algaemon has since digivolved to her Rookie form of Lotusmon, and Kari is quite happy, and the past year has been a very fun one too. She has more insight to the world than she did, but Gatomon is worried. It's closing time, and Gatomon is in the back, writing a note. It says, "I'm afraid Kari is losing her objectives. Her involvement in the diner is making her forget her friends, and her brother, and what will happen in 34 years. I hope I can convince to do what she came back to do." Out she comes out from the back. "Kari, I have a question, why haven't we gone after the other digiegg or tried to get back to Japan yet?" Kari goes, "I have to help them run the diner, Gatomon. When I'm ready, I'll go do it." Gatomon retorts, "Why can't you understand that we have to do something now?" Kari answers, "I have 34 years to do it, remember?" Gatomon yells, "That attitude is what got Earth destroyed in 2004!! I bet this is what happened!! You forgot everything and became so wrapped up in running this diner that you put it off, and then, you forgot. I think Miki lied when she said a car hit her. And when you did what you had to, it was too late, and nothing made sense." Kari goes, "You don't know that." Gatomon screams, "If you won't go out and do it, then I will!!" She storms out of the diner. Manny comes in, overhearing the whole thing. "So, you are here to stop a castrophe. I always knew you and Gatomon never fit in. What happened?" Kari turns and says, "Basically, I am what you would call a digidestined. I have a digimon, Gatomon, and my purpose is to supply her with power. In return, we can fight evil and I have a guardian. Me, and 10 others, fought another creature like her and Lotusmon called Obliviomon. He beat us as easy as is it is to rip up toilet paper. Then, for kicks, he annihilated the Earth. Gatomon, myself, and Lotusmon are the only three survivors of the Apocalyse. There is a fourth, but someone took his egg and gave it to Jymi Hendrix. To get Lotusmon back, I had to steal her from Jymi. He still has the other." Manny says to her, "Well, I think Gatomon is right. You can't wait around and hope for the best. You showed us that. You also showed us we can't hide from the truth. You can't either." Brian says, "You guys do know that Jymi Hendrix is dead now. He died in his sleep in a London hotel room from unknown reasons. The stuff he didn't have in his will will be auctioned off next week in Philedelphia." Kari goes, "To Philedlphia then." Manny goes, "Well, since you helped us, we'll help you. Brian can manage the diner on his own. We have plenty of employees now. Moonglow and myself will take you in our van." Kari calls Lotusmon to come with. From out of the back comes a green digimon with narrow frog-like legs and webbed feet, the same Algaemon arms, except now she has a well defined forearm region, almost humanoid, and the vines are now like fingernails. The vines have retractable thorns in them. Around her torso is a tree bark breastplate, with two flowers growing on the shoulder straps. She has a dorsal fin-like appendange on her head in addition to a lotus leaf and a water lily. She goes, "I'm coming Kari!!" She runs with her to the light blue van. Manny cranks her up, and the big freakin' van hauls down the road.

Down the road a few miles is Gatomon, walking down along the roadside. Manny slows down, and Kari sticks her head out of the window. Gatomon says to her, "What are doing now, Kari, trying to get me on a leash so I can't leave the diner?" Kari goes, "No, silly, we're going to Philly!!" Gatomon says, "For what? Some stoners' convention?" Kari responds, "It's nothing like that...." Gatomon says, "I'm tired and I want to complete this mission, so back off!!" Kari tries to say something, but then Gatomon slashes her in the cheek. Kari looks up with tears in her eyes. "I probably deserve that for being so greedy and mean and forgetful over the last year. I mean, one day it's an act of generosity, then it seems to become your whole life, and nothing else matters. I should have listened to you earlier and did what I came back to do. Only now do I understand, and that's why we're going to Philedelphia, to get the other digiegg back so we can complete our mission." Gatomon feels bad for her actions. "I've just been so frustrated. I mean, suddenly I felt that I knew what was going to happen, but then I had no way of changing the horrible events. When you started putting all your energy elsewhere, I thought we were all doomed and that you had forgotten about ThorXaviomon, Paladingreymon, NeptuneZudomon and Joe, Gabrielmon and TK, Iori, Valkyrimon and Imperialdramon, Grandkuwagumon, Patriotaviamon, DaoGarurumon, Raijinkabuterimon, Daedalusmon, Mimi, and your own brother Tai, who you and everyone else had to watch all suffer and die for us. I thought you had forgotten." Kari says, "I never forgot..... If we're going to do this, we have to work together." Gatomon says, "You're right Kari." She jumps in the window. "Floor it Manny!!" Gatomon goes. They go sailing down the highways and interstates.

A week later, they arrive in Philedelphia. Manny and Kari enter the auction hall. "Do you know when the Jymi Hendrix auction is?" The desk clerk says, "It just ended." Kari asked, "Was there a Fabrege egg sold in the auction?" The clerk says, "Nope. It was scheduled, but this lieutenant came by and said that the egg was to be remanded to the control of the United States army, for security reasons." Manny goes, "What would the United States army want with a Fabrege egg?" The clerk says, "Beats me, but I gave it to him." Kari goes, "We need to know where he was going with it." The clerk says, "Wel, I can't tell.... " Manny holds out $300. "Well, I did see his division number and its home base, and he said his name." Manny pulls out another $100. "The insignia said he from a air base in Nevada, and his name was Lt. Gerard Spencer." Kari shudders at the name. "He left maybe ten minutes ago. You could catch him." They were already gone. Down the road, roaring at top speed, they went down. After 5 minutes, they caught up to him. Manny cut his speed and followed, waiting for him to slow. After 30 minutes, Gerard radios to HQ, "I have this hippy van following me. When I speed up, they speed up. When I slow down, so do they. They have followed me since I got the item in question. Suggest what to do." On the other side, the CB radio says, "You are to remove the threat by any means. Teach them a lesson, lieutenant." Gerard takes out a .38 calibur pistol and fires at the van. Manny screams, "Ah, dude, he has a gun..... And he's shooting at us!!" He starts swirving to avoid the bullets. Gatomon goes, "I could digivolve and stop him, but aren't we trying to keep a low profile? Besides, this van would just be a little snug for Angewomon, don't you think Kari?" Kari looks at him and says, "Well, the idea is not to mess with the past, but he is shooting at us, and since they have the egg, they know there is something important about it. I say when Manny swirves to the right, you jump out the window and digivolve. See if you can shoot out the tires." Manny swirves over quickly, and Gatomon leaps onto the roof.

"DigiArmor Energize!!"

"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!!"

She flies up and tries to line herself up with the tires. Gerard looks out and sees her and says, "Damn Ruskies must be getting good at that secret 'genetics' stuff I heard rumors about. I swore I just saw a white sphinx." Nefertimon lines up.

"Rosetta Stone!!"

She fires her large stoneat the tires, but Gerard swirves, and Manny has to drive through flying pavement and smoke. Gerard sees Nefertimon and hurls a grenade up at her. She evades.

"Cat's Eye Beam!!"

The shot misses and blows up pavement in front of Gerard's truck. The grenade explosion sends Nefertimon spinning down, but she levels out. "Boy, I wish Pegasusmon was here so I could Golden Noose that truck." She lands on the top of the van and says, "Kari, I need to digivolve to Angewomon. This isn't working. He's too heavily armed for me to handle as Nefertimon." Kari nods and she reverts to Gatomon and Kari holds up her EDI.

"Gatomon digivolve to Angewomon!!"

She flies after him. Gerard looks out the window to see her. "Hmmmmm....... An angel..... This is getting stranger by the minute. But....... if I bring in an angel for those researchers, it could really look good. I could get promoted. Besides, those damn hippies won't stop following me." He pulls over. Manny does the same. Kari, Lotusmon, and Moonglow dash out and rummage the back of the truck after Gerard pulls out something from under the seat. He doesn't notice as he opens the crate and pulls out a Stinger Rocket Launcher. Angewomon hovers about and takes pot shots at Gerard, hoping to knock him out with the shrapnel flying up from where her Celestial Arrows are striking the pavement. Kari looks in the back and starts pulling out crates one by one. Gerard hears her and shoots at her with his pistol. She ducks down by the crates she removed and Gerard turned his attention back to Angewomon. He points the launcher at her and takes aim.

"Heaven's Cha....."

Before she could attack, he fires the stinger and and she is blown out of the sky in an explosion. Gerard hops in the truck. "I need to get out of here before they empty this truck. I have a mission to complete. Besides, I never liked 4 to 1 odds." He screeches off into the night. Kari runs over to check on Gatomon, who is smoking from the explosion. Moonglow says, "We lost him." Kari looks at Gatomon and says, "You okay?" Gatomon asks, "Yeah, but she's right. We lost him. He could be going to any military base anywhere." Kari says, "Actually, now I know where he is at all times." Gatomon asks her, "How, Kari?" Kari pulls out her EDI. "I left my D-Terminal in the back. All we have to do is follow the signal." Moonglow says, "But how do we know if one of these crates has that egg you're looking for?" Kari goes, "I guess we'll have to load them up and look through them as we chase him. That way we can stay in range and confirm them." Manny says, "But we don't have enough space in our van for those crates." Lotusmon comes up and says, "But maybe I can carry them. All us Lotusmon get big when we become champions." Kari says, "But we can't wait for you to digivolve." Lotusmon says, "But you can do it." Kari remembers Izzy telling them about the power of Universal Digivolution. Kari looks at Lotusmon and says, "You're right!!" She holds out the EDI and the screen glows orange.

"Lotusmon digivolve to Lotomon!!"

Before them stood a 20 foot tall hairy sea green bear-like creature with a giant closed flower growing on its back. It had webbed toes and bear claws, fins on the forearm and forelegs, like the Creature from the Black Lagoon had, two sets of dorsal fins running down her back leading to the flower, and the head of an Ankylosaur. She lets out a bear growl and says, "Load the stuff up on my back!!" The profile of her pops up. Gatomon narrates, "Lotomon is a Champion level Lunar digimon that is part bear, part fish, and part plant. Her Grizzly Dicers will rip up anyone, whether on land or in the sea." Everyone quickly hurries, and then Kari jumps on Lotomon's back. "I'll check the stuff as we go. Follow Lotomon!!" She points forward and Lotomon dashes ahead.

After a few days taking backroads, they are in Nevada. Kari and Lotusmon are back in the van, and it is loaded with assault rifles and ammo crates, but no digiegg. "He's not that far, just a few more mil........ What the? He's gone. I can't pick up my D-Terminal anymore. The last place I had a signal was out in the middle of the desert." Gatomon says, "Maybe he found it and smashed it." Kari goes, "I doubt that. His truck was still moving. It's like no one wants us to know that that place is there, because another vehicle just appeared about the same area as Gerard's truck vanished." Manny slams his hand down on the dashboard. "That settles it. We're busting into the base. Somebody has to teach the fuzz a lesson, sending innocent kids to Vietnam to be senselessly slaughtered." Kari thinks to herself, "Now I see why they were called hippies. At least he came up with this sober." Manny continues his little motivational speech. "Damn it, I'm tired of the bigwigs bossing us around. I want to put it to them. I want to let them know that no one screws with Manny Wick or my friends." Kari jaw drops in shock. She thinks, "I've worked for and now am in a van with Lewis's father!!" She quietly talks to Gatomon, "Lewis never told us his dad was a hippie!!" Gatomon adds, "He's never said anything about his parents period." Manny goes, "Let's do it!!" He floors it and heads straight for where the truck vanished. Moonglow says, "Hey, an air force base out in the middle of nowhere!!" As they fly at the front gate, Kari saw a sign. "Area 51. If you can read this, then you are already dead." Sounds of machine gun fire fills the air as they near. Manny spins the van and everyone rolls out behind it, and Kari opens the side door. The theme from the A-Team starting playing. They grab the guns and start shooting at the guards. Kari hides and says, "I don't think killing all those troops will get us anything." Manny goes, "Hey, they opened fire. All we were going to do was scare them into coughing it up by that charge and then yelling and protesting, but Flower Power doesn't mean jack if they put a bullet in your brain. Sometimes two wrongs can make a right." Suddenly, a tank shell flies over and blows up behind them. Manny sees atank come out the gate and says, "What are tanks doing at an air force base?!" Kari says, "I think I get what he's saying. Gatomon, Lotusmon, get me that TOW!!" They pull it out of the van and load it. Kari aims it and fires the missile. BOOM!! The tank blows sky high, also damaging the base gate. Gatomon goes, "I pity the fool who messes with the Digidestined!!" They reload the TOW and blow a second tank. Moonglow takes out a Stinger and says, "I hope I'm aiming this right." She fires, and the missile fires behind them and blows up a half mile away. "I'll stick to the rifle." Manny grabs as many ammo crates as he can. "Incoming!!" They all run from the light blue van as a mortar finds its target. Gatomon is slashed by flying shrapnel. Kari says, "Gatomon, you have to digivolve!!" Gatomon says to her, "The cut, it burns..... Can't focus." Kari turns to Lotusmon. "Looks like you're up. Let's do it!!" And again her EDI screen glows orange.

"Lotusmon digivolve to Lotomon!!"

Lotomon charges out with Kari and Gatomon on her back. Manny tosses her an M-16 to protect herself with. Lotomon runs up. "Hold on, Kari!!" She cries out.

"Grizzly Dicer!!"

She easily knocks down the reinforced gate. Guns start firing. Lotomon growls.

"Lotus Blaster!!"

Jets of water spew out her mouth, flower, and horns. It takes out the troops and leaves them knocked out on the ground. A tank fires and its mortar blows in front of Lotomon, throwing her back. Kari screams, "You need to digivolve!!" Her amulet glows orange.

"Lotomon digivolve to Sunflowermon!!"

There stood a Nymph with a yellow dress with sea green vines hanging from the sleeves. On her arms are coral forearm guards, and on the right one is a sword blade and on the left one are two hose-like cannons. On her back are four sea green maple leaf-like wings. Around her neck is a vine, with at the center of said vine is a broach containing many small opals and pearls, and one giant one with the Crest of Courage emblazoned on it in pure gold. On her head is ring of sunflower petal dangling down and each petal embedded in her head, with the petals in the back of her head the lowest and the one in the front sticking out at where a human's hairline is. Inside and outside the circle of sunflower petals is the shiniest blue hair, with the bangs of Serena from Sailor Moon, and the hair reaching a little lower than shoulder length in the back. A blue armband wraps over her left arm and has a crescant moon on it. "How strange. I go from big furry bear thingy to a beautiful young woman." She turns and points her left arm at a group of soldiers.

"Splash Turrets!!"

She fires the cannons on the coral armband and they blast the men with super-pressurized bolts of water. The way inside is cleared. "Let's go Sunflowermon!!" They run inside and are treated to more gunfire. She shoots them down with her splash turrets. After about a few minutes, the interior grew strangely quiet. The only gunfire came from outside. Kari goes, "I don't like this. It's too quiet in here." Suddenly, Gerard comes out from behind a corner and knocks the M-16 out of Kari's hands, then grabs and holds a strange-looking gun to her head. "Funny what things we find. The military found a spaceship in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico, and they took the technology and reversed engineered it. The stuff in the ship also detected fissures into a 'Digital World,' if I'm right. At first, I though you were Ruskie terrorists, then when I recalled your little cat friend there, I remembered our little project. If you're wondering, that little limbo that I was sucked into had a microscopic exit, and it allowed my future self to tell me of his memories, but he got fried before he could give me all of them by some dimensional storm. He told enough though to destroy you, though. Now tell your friend their to de-digivolve." Kari nods and she reverts to Lotusmon. Gerard laughed an said, "He also showed me where to find these things called black gears. I went under the cover of night through the rift we generate here at this base, which was against all orders, and stole twenty from Infinity Mountain. I hatched your friend and used them on him. Now I will use him and the Digital World to restore order to this country, by destroying you, then all the hippies and dissidents who resist our glorious system and military, and then The Soviet Union!! Rise forth and attack, Bahamutmon!!" From the ground bursts up Bahamutmon, all black and with glowing red eyes. Kari tries to get away, but he is just too strong. "Unh, unh, unh..... You ever hear of the Railgun? I bet you haven't. This we took from the spacecraft and engineered into a weapon. This gun can blast you in half before you can blink. It fires a high density steel shaft at the speed of light. We plan to use this, and many more weapons we developed here, against the Ruskies, but now, we don't need them anymore. I got Bahamutmon!! Bahamutmon, attack those digimon!!" And he goes, "As you command, master." He walks after them, ripping the base up as he goes. He nears Gatomon and Lotusmon, and goes,

"Meganuke!!"

His hand charges with atomic force power and he crashes his hand into the ground. The nuclear blast ripped ahead. Lotusmon sees a beam and grabs Gatomon.

"Spiked Flail!!"

Her fingernails extend like Palimon's, but she swings forward and whips the beam. She ascends up and then hurls Gatomon over the rising wave. Then she rears back with her left arm.

"Spiked Flail!!"

She whips him and then again, this time snagging him. She swings down. Gatomon attacks.

"Lightning Claw!!"

"Plant Spikes!!"

Gatomon's attack barely fazes the Bahamut, and then Lotusmon's fingernails on her right hand fire like the liquid metal Crimma Claws on Escaflowne. Bahamutmon smacks some of them, but they snake around and take a stab, but ricochet off his near invincible scales, and they circle around and strike again, and again meeting failure. Gatomon tries to run up and Lightning Claw him again, but then Bahamutmon attacks.

"Cataclysmic Fission Blast!!"

He grabs Gatomon, holds her up between his wings, smashes his wings togther fused with nuclear power, irradiates Gatomon with high intensity and cuts her with the ends of his wings and the whip-like action he did, and then suplexs her into the ground, releasing that energy and creating a mini-nuclear meltdown. The wave burns by Lotusmon's legs as she grabs the beam again. She falls from the pain and finds she can't walk because her leg muscles are mush from the radiation. Gatomon laid unconscious and bleeding on the ground, bald in spots where the radiation made her hair fall out. Gerard says, "I think I should of brought a lead suit to this tango." Kari takes the opportunity to elbow him in the gut, making him drop his gun. She kicks the gun away and says, "Lotusmon, Warp Digivolve now!! You can't beat him as is!!" Gerard jumps her. "NOW!!" she yells. Her EDI glows once again. Lotusmon hovers up. "The energy!!"

"Lotusmon Warp Digivolve to SeaLilymon!!"

SeaLilymon looks at herself and then Bahamutmon and says, "Okay, same problem, just now I'm a lot stronger." Bahamutmon raises his head to strike when SeaLilymon plants her spear in the ground.

"Aqua Vault!!"

Her fin rages in energy as she, the best way to describe it, drop kicks him. He flies back and rolls once. SeaLilymon flies over to Gatomon. "You need help." She says holding her in her arms.

"Aura Elixir!!"

The blast of life force removes the radiation and heals Gatomon, and at the same time hurts Bahamutmon. Kari and Gerard continue to wrestle on the ground and never notice the attack. SeaLilymon guards with her spear spinning as Bahamutmon blazes down on her with green fire. She flies up.

"Opal Lance!!"

She stabs at him at blinding speeds, he continuously in motion dodging the attack. She stops and raises the spear up.

"Opal Spiral!!"

The vines on the spear snag Bahamutmon. She starts to spin the spear and then a column of water shoots down and blasts Bahamutmon. He goes sliding back after a minute of spraying. The healed Gatomon wakes up and sees Kari in trouble, and jumps Gerard. She lightning claws him and he jumps back in pain. Kari rolls away and takes the railgun. Bahamutmon flies up at SeaLilymon. He rears his head back. SeaLilymon flies at him with spear readied.

"Red Giant!!"

"Water Lily Crescant Beam!!"

The two hit each other, and the blast sends them flying to the ground. The black gears in Bahamutmon vaporize and he takes on his normal silver color. SeaLilymon lays there, and Kari holds her up. "Kari, here I go again. Back to the digiegg for me." She reverts to a digiegg. Bahamutmon goes, "She saved me... So weak..." He also returns to a digiegg. Kari is sobbing, but then it dawned on her, the reason why she came back. "I had to learn the meaning of the very thing we were fighting for, Gatomon. We had to learn about life. That way, all our digimon wouldn't have to die for Mimi to learn this very lesson, and now..." Gatomon finishes, "We have a chance." Kari gets up, "To set things right!!" Manny drives up in a jeep. "Hurry up, Kari. The fuzz is after us!!" Suddenly a beam of light like the one that sent her to the sixties appears and begins pulling her in. "Don't worry, Manny!! You'll be just fine!!" Suddenly a bright flash goes off, and the jeep is hundreds of miles from the base. "Whoa, I think she completed her mission, Moonglow." Manny says in bewilderment. Moonglow looks at him, "But you do know we're now probably wanted by the military and the CIA for treason." Manny goes, "It was worth it, from what Kari said. One other thing: Where are we?"

Back at the desimated Area 51, a phone rings on a burning desk amidst the wreckage. Gerard picks it up. "Yes, General!! But sir, it wasn't my fault." On the other side is the voice of a familiar general, saying, "Dammit Gerard!! Because of you and your stupid project, Area 51 is a complete loss!! Forget about that promotion!! You're lucky I don't hang you for countermanding a direct order and using United States property for personal use!!" Gerard goes, "Thank you, sir. We have already put out a search for those that attacked the base, and we have falsified the necessary data to cover the agency's secrets and the events that transpired today. Are we to rebuild the base?" The general says, "No. Ops will be moved to NSA headquarters, where we can keep an eye on things."

Flash forward to 1996. The white light stops and it disappears. Kari looks around and sees it is about 4 AM. She looks at her EDI, and it goes, "Time Compensation Complete. Date is July 31st, 1996. Time: 4:56 AM, Tokyo Daylight Time. Kari looks around and asks, "What I doing here?" Gatomon says, "I have no idea." Kari looks at an apartment building and recognizes it. She goes, "I think I know, Gatomon." Gatomon asks, "And we're here why?" "To warn me or my friends and tell them about my revelation. I recognize that bridge, and that building. This is Heighten View Terrace, where I used to live and where Greymon fought Parrotmon. We're here just one day before the attack." Gatomon says, "Well, how are we going to do this?" Kari suddenly remembered something. "Wait, I remember we had a new babysitter who was dressed just like I am now, had a weird-looking cat, and only sat for us once. Oh my god, I'm that babysitter!! Talk about talking to your inner child!!" Gatomon adds, "Maybe that's why you weren't afraid of me when you first saw me. You had seen me before." Kari says, "Man, I wish Lewis was here to make sense of this. I hate this time stuff. I got a headache." Gatomon points out, "Well what are going to do today? I mean, all your money is now American dollars, and I don't think many people take US Dollars around here. Maybe the Yakuza, but unless we find a customs officer, we're out of luck." Kari lowers her head. "Let's see if we can scrounge some money."

They walk the streets, looking for loose change, and even pan-handling. About noon, they start to get hungry. "The pangs are making me hurt so badly." Kari says. Suddenly, an American passes by, with another idiotic American complaining about carrying a camcorder. One of them is real tall and wearing a silver vest and a green shirt with a button-up collar and jean shorts. He says, "No matter where you are, the sun just plain sucks!!" He turns to the other one, "Stop complaining about the camera, Oswald. We still haven't found anything good to record." Kari stops everything and looks at them, and sees the tall one is wearing sandals. The one holding the camcorder says, "Slow down!! You're walking too fast!! It's too hard for me to try to keep up lugging this heavy camera around." The tall one says, "There's your problem. You're trying. Remember what Homer Simpson said... 'Trying is the First Step towards Failure.' Man, I never heard you whine so much Oswald." He turns to Kari. "What the hell are you looking at?!" he goes with a slight New York nasal accent. Kari points at herself. "Yeah, you!! You think I'm talking the cat you're trying to conceal in your backpack?" Kari walks up to him. "Well?" he asks. Kari answers, "I think I know you." The guy pulls out a wallet and says, "Well, I know you're Kari Kamiya, and why do you have all this American money from 1970?" Kari grabs at the wallet. "Hey, that's mine Lewis!!" He stops, and she grabs her wallet back. "Okay, how long have you been following me... Kari?" Kari goes, "I haven't. You just seem familiar." Oswald says, "Lewis, could you lug this?" Lewis says, "Odd, you wouldn't know my name unless you are following me, unless..." He stares at her EDI and armband. "Quick, what was my mother's name?" Kari fumbles around for a moment and says, "I don't know; Moonglow?" Lewis slurs his mouth, "Yeeeeeeuuuuuuuuup. Knew you didn't fit in. Armband and the little doo-flicky gave it away. I'm guessing you're early to mid-21st century. Am I right?" Kari nods in shock. "Okay, then seeing as how you know me, and we'll definately meet again, I'll exchange that American money, but you must first accept my loan agreement." He pulls out a document. "What's it say?" Lewis says, "Well, basically that you have taken out money from me and that you pay a set monthly interest rate." Kari says, "Sounds okay." She signs. Lewis does too. He pulls Kari's wallet back out and exchanges the money. Kari thinks, "How does he keep on doing that?" Lewis adds, "Remember, that's a 20% monthly interest rate until such time that I am paid. Toodles." He walks off laughing. "Dumb girl just made me rich!!" Oswald says, "Will you please take this heavy camcorder?!" "Shut up, Oswald!!" Kari says, "Well, at least I know Lewis was his old annoying sarcastic self in 1996. Let's eat."

They go and eat and then Kari says, "My parents were looking for a babysitter for the night of August 1st!! Gatomon, we got to get that job!!" Gatomon asks her from her backpack, "But how?" Kari says, "I'm thinking." She walks toward the apartment complex. She walks in the lobby, and she says, "You know what, Gatomon. The fate of the two worlds lays in my hands, and I don't even know what apartment we lived in. It'd be nice if I had Tai or my parents here to tell me this stuff. All I can remember is that it was on the left, and the floor number was an even number." She walks to the elevator. "I guess I'll just have to go around searching." She says, getting out of the elevator. She walks down the hall to the fifth door and knocks to see if it is right. A little blonde boy opens the door. "Hello." He says. Kari goes, "I don't think this is the Kamiya residence." The boy goes, "No, this is the Ishida residence." A man comes up. "Matt, how many times have I told you not to open the door unless you're told to!!" Kari says, "I'll be leaving now." and walks onward. The boy just closes the door. He says, "What was that all about?" Kari gets on the elevator again and goes up two floors. She gets off and tries another door. This one slowly opens, and a little blue-haired boy in glasses opened the door. Kari goes to talk, but the boy gets frightened, runs, and smacks into the wall. His brother comes up. "Hi, I'm Jim. What do you want?" Kari says, "Wrong place." She walks away. Gatomon peeps out, "I'll give you three guesses who that was." Kari says getting on the elevator, "I'm glad Joe got over that stage." Up two more floors, and out goes Kari. As she walks down the hall, she sees the Tachikawa nameplate. "Oh, what the hey." She knocks on the door despite it not being the right one. Mimi opens it. "Are you the Avon lady?" Kari looks and says, "Uh, no." She slams the door in her face. Through the door, Kari hears Mimi tell her parents, "It was no one." Gatomon sarcastically comments, "Nice kid, wasn't she?" "You got a point there Gato. You know, it was kind of weird seeingher completely human for a change. It's been four years since this all started. I want this to hurry up and end." She runs down the hall and stops at the next to the last door. "Hey, our nameplate!!" She rings the bell. Her dad opens the door. "Who is it?" Kari goes, "Uh, I'm here for the babysitting job. A friend told me about it." Her dad asks, "What's your name?" Kari starts to sweat. "What do I tell dad?" Kari thinks, and then she gets an idea. "Uh, I'm... Miki... Tachi... kawa." He goes, "Well, Miki, come in." She goes in, and her dad asks, "Say, isn't there a Tachikawa family on this floor?" Kari responds to this question with a bold-faced lie. "Uh, no. That's the Tachinawa family. Their daughter's sweet, but spoiled. Used to work for them. Wait a second, I think I dropped my keys in the hall." She runs down the hall and yanks the Tachikawa nameplate off the door. She panics andher thoughts race as she tries to figure out what to do with the nameplate. Then she does the outrageous. She opens one of the windows in the hallway leading to the fire escape and throws it out. It falls down. Kari wipes the sweat off her brow. Then she hears someone yell, "Ow, that hurt!!" She looks down. It hit Lewis, and left him a BIG knot on his head!! Lewis gets up and mumbles, "First a girl from the future wants Yen off of me, and now nameplates are falling out of the sky. Hmmmm... Tachikawa. I'll just keep this..." He pockets the nameplate. Oswald says to him, "That's fate's way of paying you back for not carrying this heavy camera." Lewis says, "All things have their purpose. I don't think some divine power rains down Tachikawa nameplates on those who don't lug their friends' stuff around when asked. Now, get over it. I'll carry it tomorrow." Oswald goes, "Oh, okay. You think that nameplate hiiting you means that you will meet someone named Tachikawa in your future?" Lewis says, "I don't know. You know, with all this babbling and nonsense, you know who you remind me of?" "Who?" "A young Dan Quayle. We'll figure it out later. We got to get more sightseeing in before my student visa expires." And they go on. Kari runs back to the Kamiya apartment. "Found them. Now about the job?" Her dad goes, "Do drugs?" "No." "Willing to work for little to nothing?" "Okay." "Like little kids?" "Yep." "Like cats?" "Love them." "You won't bring over wild and obnoxious friends?" "All my friends are stiff, politically correct nerds." "Do you take children with pneumonia out to play soccer?" her mom asked. "No. Never!!" "Finally, do you know the number for 911?" "Yes." "Okay, you got the job." "When do I work?" "Tomorrow night, at 6:00." "Okay." and then the kids come in. "These are the children you'll be watching. This here is Taichi Kamiya, and this here is our younger daughter Hikari. You know, you two have the same hair. Strange." Kari gets up to go, when her dad asks, "Say, where did you get such high-quality '60s gear? Haven't seen this quality stuff since 1976, well maybe the glasses. All that tye-dye stuff they sell now looks so artificial and isn't as good." Kari answers, "Parents had them. They were hippies. They even went to Woodstock." Her dad finishes, "Just wondering. You can go now." Kari leaves and asks herself, "Now that I got the job, where do I wait?" Gatomon suggests, "We could go to the roof and open the digiport in the sky." Kari responds to this with, "Well, we could, but the rift is huge, and someone is bound to notice. Besides, in this time the worlds are out of sync. Though we're only 8 years in the past here, it would have been 5764 years in the Digital World before we even went there the first time, and in all, we're back in time 5779 Digiworld years. We won't anyone or anything there. If we did wait there, let's see, it's 2 o' clock now, and we have to be back in 28 hours....., we'd have to wait 1680 days, or over 4 and a half years before we could come back here. That'd even be worse than one night here in the streets." Gatomon says, "Oh, I totally forgot about the whole out of sync thing. It's been so long." Gatomon pauses, and then says, "Isn't this about the time Piedmon attacks Genai and tries to steal the digieggs?" Kari says, "No, that's supposed to be tomorrow, according to what Tai told me about that stuff those Digi-Beings told them through me." Kari checks her wallet. "Hmmm..... This may not be enough for a hotel room, but....." She knocks on the Tachikawa's door. Mimi's mom answers it. "Are you the Avon lady?" Kari goes, "Uh, no." Mimi's mom grins and goes very nicely, "Alright then. Bye bye." She goes to close the door when Kari puts her hand in the way and gets it mashed. "OW!!!!!!!!!!" she screams, pushing the door open. Mimi's mom screams, "Home invasion!!" and grabs a spatula and bludgeons Kari continuously. "Ow, that stings!!" and "Hey, stop that!!" are all Kari can get out. Mimi's mom loses her balance as Kari advances, and then Kari says, "Gimme that!!" and snatches the spatula away. Mimi's mom starts screaming. "Whoa, calm down.... If you'll stop screaming and listen, I'll tell you what I'm doing here. Besides, it's not nice to smack strangers with spatulas until you here them out." Mimi's mom stop screaming. "Okay, what do you want?" Kari thinks, and then says, "Well, I'm on a vacation, and I'm short money to get a plane ticket back, and I going to do some babysitting tomorrow, since that will give me just enough to get home, but if I spend any money tonight on a hotel, it'll take me forever to get back that money. I was hoping I could stay here, since the kids I babysit tomorrow on in this same building, in fact this floor. I'm willing to do dishes and watch your daughter..." Mimi's mom gets up. "Well, I'm not used to total strangers knocking on my door asking for stuff. Usually it's my husband or the Avon lady. Besides, how do you know I have a daughter?" Kari answers, "Well, on the way up, I accidentally rang your buzzer, and your daughter was the one who answered it. After I found out that this was the wrong apartment, I went and found the right one." "Who are you watching?" "The Kamiyas." "Kamiyas.... I heard of them. Don't they have two kids?" "Yep. Taichi and Hikari." Mimi's mom thinks, and then says, "Well, okay. You can stay, if, you watch our little Mimi tomorrow as well. My husband and me haven't been alone in ages." Kari goes, "Okay...." Mimi runs out and says, "You're that strange girl who knocked on the door for no reason. What are you doing here?" Kari says, "Well, I'm going to be boarding here for the night, then I'm going to babysit you tomorrow." Mimi says, "Yay!! All the things we can do together!! I want to show you something. Follow me!!" She drags Kari with her to her room. "Wow, she's getting along with her so quickly." Mimi's mom says.

In Mimi's room, it's about the same as it is four years later, but there is this dye set sitting in the corner. Kari thinks, "What parents get their 6 year old daughter a dye set? That's a recipe for disaster." Mimi says, "I want to play with your hair." Kari answers her, "Well, I kinda like my hair like it is." Mimi whines, "But I want to play with your hair...!!" Kari gets nervous. "If I say no, they may throw me out, but if I say yes, what will she do to me?" Before she can answer, something hard whacks her over the head. Mimi gasps and goes, "Sorry about that, lady. Hey, I can play with her hair now!! Yay!!" She drags her over to a dresser, and manages to prop her up with the chair in her room and pinning her against the dresser. "She's... so... heavy. There we go!!" She starts brushing through her hair. "Her hair is beautiful. Don't really need to change it, but it's missing something...." She gets an evil grin looking over at her dyes. "The world needs more pink. Besides, I need to dye those shirts my mom bought me anyway."

Kari gets up about an hour and a half later, laying on Mimi's bed. "Oh, what happened?" Gatomon pops her head out. "*Gasp* *Gasp* It's so hot in there. Are you sure this was a good idea, Kari?" Kari takes her backpack off and says to her, "Well at least you're head doesn't hurt." Gatomon sees a plastic cap over Kari's hair. "Uh, I think you have a little something else as a momento from chibi Mimi. You might want to find a mirror." She finds the bathroom. On the way, Mimi says, "Yay!! You're awake!! Sorry about hitting you like that!!" Kari goes in, takes off the cap, and flips on the lights. "Yahhhh!!!" She screams, falling back in shock at her hair. "She dyed my hair pink!! She knocked me out and dyed my hair... pink!!" Gatomon says fromher backpack, "If you want to get technical, you're strawberry blonde." "Oh shut up." Gatomon giggles. "If I remember right, didn't Cheech and Chong back in '69 do the same thing to you?" Gatomon stops giggling. "Ha, ha, Kari." Kari went out and then dinner was ready. "Who wants Pan-Fried Steak and Salad with Cayenne Powder Gravy and Scallops?" Kari's eyes go wide. "I'm beginning to wish I had slept on the streets." She thinks. She pulls up a chair and eats some of the salad. She thinks, "From the taste, I think she grilled the salad with the meat. Yechhh.. deep fried lettuce." Mimi is just eating it up. "Does she have no taste buds?" Kari continues to think. Kari eats some of the meat. Her mouth is on fire. She looks for something to drink, but alas, nothing's there. She rams some of the scallops in her mouth hoping to cool it off, but the extremely buttery taste of the scallops is making her nauseous. "This... is the.... most... butter-saturated thing... I ever.... ate!!" She says aloud. Mimi's mom says, "No, dear. Scallops are shrimp that are cooked without being first de-gutted." Kari turned green and ran to the bathroom. Mimi's dad says, "What's wrong with her?" In the background, Kari is vomitting.

After the dishes and going to sleep that night, the next day was uneventful until 6 o' clock. That's when she had Tai, Mimi, and her own younger self to watch over. When her parents left, Kari pulls Gatomon out. "Kids, this is Gato......" She stops, not wanting to give too much away. Gatomon parades around on all fours and Neko comes in. Neko sniffs Gatomon and then high-tails it out of there. "She's my..... cat." Tai goes, "Funny looking cat. Who painted it?" Gatomon looks at him annoyed. Mimi says, "I personally like all the colors. When I get a kitty, I'll do the same thing, but with a lot more pink!!" The younger Kari walks up to Gatomon. "Hi, I'm Kari...." She snatches her up and is choking the life out of her. Then she lets her go. "I like kitties." Kari says to Tai and Mimi, "Could you two play together or something for a moment?" Tai nods. Mimi goes, "Okay." They just sit there. Kari takes her younger self to the kitchen, and says, "Well, I need to tell you something, Kari." Mimi says, "I wonder they are doing?" and sneaks in and peers her head in on their conversation. "In a few years, you'll be part of something very important, something world-altering. I need to tell you that you when you become a Digidestined, you must remember what life is about. Life is about all those feelings and traits you have that make you you: Courage, Sincerity, Knowledge, Love, Friendship, Devotion, Hope, Liberty; all of those make up Life. It also is all the goodness of all living things and all the good things in this world. It...." Her younger counterpart says, "I don't get it. What do you mean?" Kari thinks, and then says, "Well, to be honest, I'm you in 8 years." "You can't be me. There is only one me, me." She says. "Hey, my name is also Kari Kamiya, and I have a bigger brother named Tai. A couple of months ago, you, or I should I was sick with a cold. He wanted to play soccer and dragged me to the park. He gave me the ball to kick, and I kicked it poorly, and he said, "No, like this." and after he kicked it, I fell out on the ground, and now I had pneumonia." Her younger self gasps at the words. "You're right. That just happened." "Can you remember this? Can you keep it secret?" Kari nods. Mimi gasps in shock. Kari stands there and asks, "I get what this all means, and I warned my younger self. Why haven't I gone back to my time yet?" Suddenly, she hears the computer turn on. On the screen, it says, "Maybe there is something YOU feel you have forgotten. Maybe only you can take yourself back." Kari types, "Who is this?" All the screen says is, "A friend." Then it adds, "Meet me in the Digital World. Bring the Digidestined." "How do you know that I'm here in this time? How do you know that I have the Digidestined with me?" Suddenly the screen goes blank and a digiport appears with Myotismon's castle as the exit point. "Well, I guess someone wants us to go somewhere." Tai walks in and says, "What are you going?" And then both Karis and Gatomon are sucked in. Mimi says, "Where'd they go?"

On the other side, they both get up in front of the castle. "Where are we, nice lady claiming to be me?" "We're in the Digital World, Kari." Kari says. (For clarification reasons, the younger Kari willed be called Chibi Kari). Suddenly, the area glows white, and a voice is heard by Kari and Chibi Kari. "We have been expecting you two. We believe that you are here on a mission, are you not Digidestined?" Kari says, "Yes." Gatomon says, "Okay, who is she talking to now?" Kari says, "Both the worlds were annihilated by Obliviomon in the year 2004. We could have fought him, but we could not understand the meaning of the 18th Crest. One of my friends understood it some, and was able to use her Power Nexus, but it wasn't enough. They slaughtered us all and destroyed everything we cherished, all because we didn't know what Life meant." The being possessed Chibi Kari and spoke through her. "I can tell that you have a inkling of why you taken to 1969." Kari says, "Yes. To find out what life is all about." "But you still aren't sure, are you?" Kari reflects on that comment and says, "I guess not. But why did you take me here?" "We didn't take you anywhere. You did it all on your own. It was your heart that lead you down this road, and it will be your heart that will bring you to your final destination." "But what is that answer?" "I cannot tell you. Only you know for sure, but the answer is closer to you and more obvious than you think." Suddenly, they find themselves at the glass container with the digieggs and digivices. Kari is looking right at Patamon and Gatomon's eggs. Chibi Kari says, "What's going on!!" Suddenly, Gaurdromon and Mechanorimon litter the halls, and Piedmon hovers in. Kari and Chibi Kari hide as he shatters the glass. "Gatomon, I think it's time you Terravolved." "I can't without TK and Patamon, remember? The Crest of Innocence belongs to you and him." Kari goes, "Where did Chibi Kari go, Gatomon?" As Genai takes the Mechanorimon body and snatches the eggs and digivices, Chibi Kari tries to run for a door. Genai is forced to stop and protect her. "Where did this girl come from?" he asks himself. Piedmon looks over and says, "You know, a warzone isn't the place for little kids. Let me remedy that!!"

"Trump Swords!!"

He hurls his swords at Chibi Kari. A Gardromon fires his Grenade Destroyers at her as well, almost sealing her fate, when she stopped and this light glowed around her, and the Crest of Innocence could be seen from her heart. Kari thought, "Oh no. I'm never going to exist, and it's all my fault. I wish I could understand it all." Kari's shard was glowing too. Gatomon screams, "The energy, where is it coming from!!"

"Gatomon Terravolve to Archangewomon, The Face of Innocence!!"

"That's what I felt missing. The heart of a child. My own shard had the final piece to the puzzle. We've been growing up so much, that we all forgot the innocence...... Life in it's true form is youth." Archangewomon swoops in and gets Chibi Kari out of the way. Genai takes off and he is pursued. Piedmon leaves, leaving some of the robed people alive wondering, "Where did that angel come from?" Archangewomon picks up Kari and Chibi Kari and follows the machines. One of the people said, "We are lucky that angel digimon was here to save us." One that looked of more importance said, "It is also good Piedmon did not know of these Enhanced Digivices we have locked away. If he found them, we would all be doomed." Meanwhile, Archangewomon was catching up to the Mechanorimon and Gaurdromon. She fires a Celestial Comet at a few of them, and some are eliminated. One of the Gaurdromon knocks Gatomon's egg and other stuff loose. Archangewomon swoops in saying, "I'm not going to let history repeat itself!!" But then Kari says, "No, we have to leave things as they are, which means, letting your egg fall." While she was talking, Chibi Kari caught the digivice, looked at it, and then hid it away in her pocket. Then the being spoke again through Chibi Kari. "You fully understand now, Chosen Child. You must now go and forfill what you are destined for." Kari answers, "How do you know who am I and what I'm here for?" "We know all. That is all we can say." "But, I have a duty here in this time...." "Do not worry. Since this is the Digital World, we can extrapilate a copy and use it to finish your duties and obligations here in this time, and you can go back home, and stop its end. To make sure these events aren't altered by the younger you, we must erase the memories of the Digital World and your warning. We must also block all knowledge of such and repress these memories of this day." Before Kari can respond, the being goes, "Now beginning clean-up...." She leaves Chibi Kari's body. Kari looks as a light penetrates Chibi Kari's skull and processes her thoughts. She vanishes. "You have no more need to worry about your obligation. We have handled it. Chibi Kari has been returned to your world. She had the 8th Digivice on her. It was set to give off a flash that erased the memories of the other Digidestined. As far as they know, you were Miki Tachinawa, a teenage tourist/babysitter. Your digital clone will guard the Chosen Children until such time as the future bearer of Sincerity leaves, then she will call the parents and say an emergency arrived and must leave, and then will return here, where she will live out a healthy life." Before Kari can voice her concern, the spirit says, "Do not worry about this anymore. Your time is more important. Go!!" Suddenly, the being leaves, and Archangewomon says, "So, what do we do now?" Kari says, "Well, we're not needed anymore here, so I say it's time to send Obliviomon and Beelzebumon back to slimy depths they came from!! Time to head back to the present!!" Her amulet glows white and they get absorbed into the same column of light.

As they zoom down the light, they see images of that copy saving Mimi from the psycho-cult, and then her vanishing into the rift on the Digi-Moon en route to Houston. The others come out. Just then, NeoApocalymon is struck in the back.

"Double Edge!!"

Out comes all but Kari and Archangewomon from the rift. Sora goes, "It's Tai, and Mimi, and Matt, and the others!!" Miyako adds, "And with them are the new digidestined!!"

"Plasma Torpedoes!!"

"Blitzkrieg Claw!!"

"Lambda Light!!"

"Gigaflare!!"

"Edge of Gaia!!"

"Positron Laser!!"

"Fenrir Sword!!"

"Gold Rush!!"

"Dimension Scissors!!"

"Let's help!!" Patriotaviamon says.

"Elemental Firestorm!!"

"Patriot Missile!!"

"Crash of Feathers!!"

"Tsunami Cutter!!"

"Vengence of Valhalla!!"

"Circle of Roses!!"

"Flower Cannon!!"

All the attacks come at them, and then NeoApocalymon used a polyhedron to deflect them at a group of buildings, annihilating them and temporarily blinding everyone. When everyone regained their sight, Lewis said, "Let's try some combos!!"

"Nature's Justice!!"

"Plasma Jets!!"

The two cancel each other out. "Okay, here's another!!" But as he going to use Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, he noticed something. "Where's Archangewomon and Kari?" Everyone is confused, and Abyssmon capitalizes.

"Dante's Inferno!!"

The surprised Digidestined and Digimon flew up in the air and were in great pain. Joe and Ken both suffered burns from where they were. "Now, to end this petty skirmish." He takes a safe-like object out, and opens it. He removes two odd-looking spheres. He jabs the vial into one and then throws it to Lucimon. He takes and jabs the vial into the second one and this black tar-like slime oozes out, and the darkness in the sphere grows. Mimi says, "It's the two Power Nexuses of Malevolence." "Wow, you're smart." Lucimon says. The sky, though the sun is visible and not blocked out, goes absolutely black. The stars shine as the air grows cold. Suddenly, a blot of oil smacks the Nexuses from their open hands. Izzy looks up and says, "It's Justin!! He came to help!!" Justin hops out of the cockpit and stands on the rooftop with Fourwheelermon. "Hey, I'm back to take care of the rest of you!!" Abyssmon says, "About time I found you. Now you will answer for THESE!!" He strikes at him with his newly repaired mechanical tendrils. The claws fly all around, but all the debris the first few claws throw up shield Justin from Abyssmon's site. He quietly hides in the cockpit of his partner. Justin hops out and takes out his D3. "Take for a rematch.... Terravolve!!"

"Fourwheelermon Terravolve to DieselSeraphimon, United We Stand!!"

After the bright light consumed the two, the one mighty warrior stood. DieselSeraphimon looks at the others. "You get the others, and I'll fight Mr. Rotor-Rooter here!!" Then NeoApocalymon fires a Doomsday Turret at the base of the building he is on. It falls over and DieselSeraphimon cannot be seen anywhere. "Abyssmon, that was the twerp and digimon that made you Lord Metal Butt? You suck!!" NeoApocalymon says. Then, DieselSeraphimon jumps from the ruins and takes aim.

"Heavenly Arbitration!!"

He shoots the shoulder of Abyssmon and grazes Lucimon. With them distracted, Paladingreymon, Tai, and Mimi make for the Malevolent Power Nexuses. "Paladingreymon, as soon as we get to get, you fry them with your Light of Judgment. That should take care of them!!!" But then, NeoApocalymon slams a Death Claw on the two. "They're mine, brats, and now I plan to use them. Catch, Lucimon!!" The second one goes to Lucimon, and they glow black. Lucimon holds out his Nexus. "I am the fuel which evil feeds from. I am the force that damns the good and embraces the hearts of the wicked!! I AM MALEVOLENCE!!"

"Lucimon Omega Terravolve to Beelzebumon!!"

Tai looks on in horror as this horrid wretch formed, coated in pitch armor that looks like it could suck you in. He has an appearence like that of Satan, rendered from Dante Alighanti's 'Divine Comedy.' A demonic hell spawn, bound in massive muscles and red frankensteinish flesh. A goti and pitch black hair adorn him. Ram horns as big as his head grew on him. His wings were giant demon wings, large, if not bigger than Beelzebumon. He stood over a 1000 feet tall and had a double-sided battle axe, broad sword, and a pitchfork at his disposal. "I... I.... Izzy!!" Tai screams. Izzy hacks away at the computer. "He's Beelzebumon, a Hell Spawn digimon. His level is..... OMEGA!! He's classified as.... MALEVOLENCE!! I thought digimon were only Vaccine, Data, or Virus!!" NeoApocalymon starts glowing. Sora starts shaking her head at his words and the form. "No. NO!!" NeoApocalymon goes, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last!! I am all, and yet none!! I am from which all darkness and malevolence stems forth!! I am everything and yet nothing all at once!! I am ETERNAL!! I AM OBLIVION!!"

"NeoApocalymon Omega Terravolve to Obliviomon!!"

Izzy scans away. "He too is an Omega digimon. Obliviomon is made up of.... absolutely nothing..... He is nothingness, void, oblivion, the personification of nothingness." There hovering before them was a dark orange, almost black ball of quantum fire (Something like plasma). In the very center of it is a black skeleton with silver pins jabbed throughout his skull (Reminds you of Pinhead). Body parts and arms of the fallen troops and other Overlords swarm around this nexus of emptiness. "Let me see if.... NO!!! Not the blue screen of death!!" Izzy screams as his computer crashes. "Well, no matter what they are, we'll stop them!!" Tai says.

"Light of Judgment!!"

"Blitzkrieg Claw!!

"Rain of Blossoms!!"

"White Lightning!!"

"Patriot Missile!!"

"Harpoon Cannon!!"

"Nature's Justice!!"

"Daedalus Huscarl!!"

"Positron Laser!!"

"Aurvandil's Arrow!!"

"Gold Rush!!"

"Dimension Scissors!!"

All of them hit, and do absolutely nothing. Obliviomon doesn't even notice it. "Okay!! My turn!!"

"Absolute War!!"

Everyone gets clear and watches as most of the city is vaporized in a mushroom cloud. Obliviomon turns to them. "Swift, you children are, but it will not matter!!" Mimi stands as says, "I'll show you, like I did before!!" Tai runs out to her.

"Seed Grenades!!"

As the attack flies at Obliviomon, Tai grabs her and says, "Are you crazy? Didn't you just see what he did with little effort? He'll do the same thing to you!!" Mimi goes, "I don't care. I promised I'd end this, and end it I will!!" Tai goes, "But you can't if you're dead!!" Mimi looks at him, and thinks, "Does he have some sort of feelings for me? Normally, he'd be trying to tell Paladingreymon to fight along with me, but he's more concerned with getting me to safety." She thinks about his words 'He'll do the same to you.' and an expression of shock covers her face. Obliviomon watches the seeds and the two talking. "Is this all you have? You've seen War, now meet Famine!!"

"Absolute Famine!!"

The cannon forms, and then Tai does the crazy. He pushes Mimi back and runs out, getting the attention of Obliviomon. "Hey, ugly, over here!!" He fires right for Tai. Mimi gets a tear in her eye, and yells, "Tai!!" She flies for him, and catches him, but is hit in the back. She rolls and her entire back is burning and she is crying in pain. He takes aim again, but a brilliant flash blinds him. A gateway appears, and out walks Kari and Archangewomon, and Kari is still in her hippie get-up she bought in 1969. "Where have you guys been?" Daisuke yells. "Winning us a second chance!!" TK says, "When did you change clothes, and why do you look older?" Daisuke adds, "And when did you dye your hair pink?" Kari goes, "No time. Right now, I got to find Mimi, Tai, and Sora!!" "Mimi and Tai are over there!! Sora is with us!!" Kari runs to Mimi and Tai. Tai is shaking her, saying, "Don't go to sleep.... You'll die." and Mimi's answer, "It's so hard to, Tai." Kari runs up and says, "Quick, you must learn the meanin of all 17 crests, hold them in your heart, and use them in harmony to get in touch with Life!!" Mimi says weakly, "Life... Kari, what are you talking about?" "The power of the Nexuses are unleashed when you understand life. All our crests have a meaning, and they each represent part of a greater whole, the good of Life. If you can tap that strength in your heart, you can make the Digimon Omega Terravolve!!" Tai looks up and remembers, "So that's why every time Mimi used that power, all our crests glowed green. She's missing one though....." Tai looks at Mimi and says, "Your fear is keeping you from holding your feelings in harmony." Mimi goes, "And what holds you back Tai?" Tai looks, and says, "I guess, it's expressing my feelings, especially for you." Beelzebumon looks over and says, "I'm tired of this mushy stuff. Time for you go take a wild ride!!"

"Sin Storm!!"

The wave comes at them, and Paladingreymon moves in to block. Kari yells, "Show her the truth now, Tai!!" Mimi says, "If you have feelings for me, then tell me now." Tai gets a tear in his eye, "I love you, Mimi." and then he kisses her. His crest glows eradically and his EDI metamorphs to look like Mimi's. His shard breaks and becomes 6, and a new crystal takes its place. He starts glowing himself, and Mimi starts to glow as well. The wave is closing, when the EDI's they have fly up and flash a light into the new shards, and a blast of light flies around them, and the Power Nexuses open. Suddenly, Excalibur flies from Gabrielmon's hands and into Paladingreymon's. His sword goes to Gabrielmon.

"OMEGA TERRAVOLVE!!"

"OMEGA TERRAVOLVE!!"

"Gaiasapia Omega Terravolve to AngeGaiasapia, Savior of Life!!"

"Paladingreymon Omega Terravolve to......"

Light envelops Paladingreymon as suddenly finds himself at a place much like Stonehenge, but an island. Waves crash on the shore, and on all the pillars are each a crest. The Bannockburn theme from Braveheart is heard in the background. Paladingreymon slams Excalibur into the ground at the center of the formation, and beams of colored light hit Paladingreymon. He rears back and a tower of white light flies from his mouth as it points into the sky, and it grows, breaking the clouds. The Power Nexus of Honor appears and he grabs it in his hands. The pillars explode and there is a flash. Hovering over the island is a nude human figure, balled up in a fetal position. He has white hair styled like Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. A pair of deep green pants and a white tanktop-like undershirt appears on him, and he uncurls and stretches his arms out. The Nexus leaves his hands and opens. A white cuirass with a golden X-like cover wraps over his upper chest, and in the center of the X piece, a white serpentine dragon flames on. Chain mail then covers whole body except his head. From the bottom of the chestpiece, golden rib plates and white ab plates slid down. The same black rubber material around ThorXaviomon's hips and waist slides down to cover his waist's sides and the back area not covered by four white muscle shaped plates, ab plates, or rib cage. A silver mediator plate slides down from the inside of the chestpiece and clamps itself to the chestpiece and the tops of the rib plates. Steam flies out from the locking. A white groin plate materializes, which leads to two white thigh plates, each with shoulder plate-like piece on top of them and having another white plate with a golden spiked, gold trimmed silver cover reinforcer clamp onto those plates, clamps onto him. More steam. White shin plates with golden knee plates fused to them slide on. On the knee pads, an emerald formed, surrounded by silver metal and four blade-like spikes shot out around it, the top two longer than the bottom two. The first shin plates cut off midway down the shin and ended in green trim. A second set of silver shin plates slid on, and left a marginal area of chain mail exposed. Two golden arcing plates slid over and partially covered the silver plates and reinforced those plates. Golden metal boots were found on his feet, the silver plates hanging over the sides slightly. White spikes fly out the top of the shoe, connected to the boot with a hinging joint. Two blade/horn-like spikes come from the white spikes, one on either side. Silver plates fused to the bottoms of the boot to further reinforce it. Attention moves to his arms, where two upper arm plates open up at a groove adorned into the white plate. It slams shut, covering his whole arm down to the elbows. A white trimmed golden set of ring-like elbow plates slide up on his arms and lock to the other plates. On his left arm, a giant cylinder shaped plate engages the arm, and a teardrop-like plate protudes from the cylinder, covering up to the back of his hand. A golden plate a lot like it slides out half as far and locks itself in place with a green metallic band that wraps around the white plate like a ring. Two grooves appear in the cylinder, and in the center of the grooves appears the 18th Crest, the Crest of Life. Three silver spikes protude on the outward side. For his right arm, another cylinder is flying to it, but it has its white and golden spikes protude out before reaching him, and the top of the cylinder opens, and a turret designed like a jet turbine slides out from inside the cylinder, flies up, and locks into the open gap, and fuses to the rest of the cylinder. It engages his right forearm, and two more turbine-like jets materialize on the bottom of the cylinder and stretch over to its sides. Silver gauntlets with golden trim on the backs of the hand and golden spiked knuckles appear on his hands. The remaining pieces of the Nexus can be seen in front of him, including two gargantuan plates. These plates flip around and land on his shoulders. They have massive gold trim that extends down to his hips and peak well above his head. The white plates themselves are HUGE, and stretch out a good 3' away from him sideways and go from as low as hip level and up to eye level vertically. Two more big plates, white and golden trimmed only on the top edge, and nowhere near as big as the previous two, but still quite big, land atop these new shoulder plates, making them cover shoulder plates. A behemoth chain flies out from the left cover shoulder plate to the right one both in front of him and behind. From above, the last piece of the Nexus flies over his head and descends onto the chestpiece. Energy bolts run through the center, and there forms two crescant-like plates, one atop each ear. It is a golden V-Plate like Gabrielmon wears, minus the blue targeting window, that has descended on him. Six silver engravements burn into the front of the V-Plate, and golden side plates shoot up from the chest plate and link to the V-Plate, extending up to eye level. He says in a Sean Connery Scottish/British type accent, "Helmet Engage!!" The crescants becomes discs covering the whole ear. From each of the disc plates shoots out six golden bars like he wore Paladingreymon's helmet, the top one the longest, arcing downward and growing shorter with each advancing bar, until the last one, very short, and pointing back and down at a 45 degree angle. Silver plates come out the discs like sideburns, and then curve in and grow wider, protecting all of his lower face but his nose, mouth, and chin and the areas between each. Golden plates pile one atop another, covering the back of his head. A flash of light, and a gold mask is atop his head. It slides down hooks over the silver sideburn-like plates and covers all of his upper face except for two eyeholes it has, and the areas of the lower face the silver plates did not get. A white quartz cross appears on the mask's forehead region, and an emerald circle goes around the intercection area and glows. His eyes burn and glow white as he grabs the sword. On one side in Japanese kanji it says, "Take me," and on the other, it says, "Throw me Away." A scabbard for it appears on the right side of his hip. 2 bright orange capes with white trim on the bottom drape down from the bottom edge of his shoulder plates, and one giant cape with the same color scheme does the same from the sides of his V-Plate, covering over the lesser two in the back. On the left one, light burns in the kanji for "Courage," and on the right, the light burns in white the kanji for "Honor." He takes Excalibur and leaps into the air and flies into space. He holds Excalibur at the ready as he hovers far above Earth. His capes blow in the solar winds of space.

"Avalonmon, Avatar of the Light!!"

After he says that, the background voice goes, "Omega Terravolution, the Cycle is Complete."

The new digimon just holds his left hand out and stops the wave of malevolence in it. He slides back as he blocks the blast. Joe says, "Who's that, Izzy?" Izzy looks him up. Izzy analyzes, "He is Avalonmon, the ultimate and all-out final form of Agumon. Avalonmon is an Omega level Elite Paladin digimon, classified also as a Lightbringer type, and stands at 12 foot, 6 inches. He bears no trace of dinosaur digimon physiology on him, yet his Rookie form is Agumon. He wields Gabrielmon's Excalibur as his own, and command Holy Light and the Stars with absolute dominion. His attacks are Lumin Sky, Pendragon Blaze, Glowing Edge, Salve of Eternity, Arthur's Touch, Thrust of the Divine, Merlin's Comet, and his almighty Light of Avalon will obliterate Evil!!" Daisuke looks at him, and Imperialdramon says, "Now that's armor!!" Daisuke says, "Makes what we call 'Armor Digivolving' look like a joke!!" Digmon exclaims, "With all that armor on him, it makes me feel like I'm in my birthday suit." All of a sudden, something amazing happened. Leaving the bodies of Avalonmon and Mimi were bursts of energy, and within the bursts were phantoms resembling their Terra level armor and gear, one green and the other orange. They split in two and the two greens go to Yolei and the two oranges go to Daisuke. One hits their D3's, and the other their D-Terminals. Something appears around the screen; one gem on the top edge of the screen, one on the bottom, one on the left edge, and one on the right. On the bottom section of Daisuke's D3, an engravement of the Crest of Honor, with Courage and Friendship below it, making a triangle. On Yolei's, Martyrdom is placed there, with Sincerity and Love below it. The Digieggs of Sincerity and Courage fly out from the D-Terminals. They transmutate with the phantom gear, then shatter and fly into the D3. "What just happened?" Daisuke asks puzzled. Izzy says, "I'll find out, but first, DUCK!!" Everyone ducks as a Dark Light attack flies at them. Avalonmon charges into the path and swings Excalibur at the attack and breaks it. "So the Paladin has some tricks of his own. Well, I'm the lord of trickery!!"

"Sin Storm!!"

He attacks at him, and Avalonmon evades. Suddenly Beelzebumon attacks agilely.

"Damnation Blade!!"

Avalonmon gets hammered by the 70 story sword. Beelzebumon smirks when Avalonmon busts out from the ground. "Time to make you repent!!"

"Pendragon Blaze!!"

He clashes his hands together, revolves once, then releases his right hand, puts it out with his palm facing Beelzebumon, and white flames came from the turbines, and holy light from his hand. A blazing white serpentine fire dragon flies from his hand at him, and semds him hurtling back, and many ruins get crushed and ground into powder and he slides along the ground. His sheer mass causes a major quake and rocks down more structures. Lewis looks around and notices the hospital, and hears all the people screaming for help. Sora yells, "The people in the hospital were never evacuated. I'm going to get them out of here!! Follow me, Patriotaviamon!!" She runs off to the hospital. Mimi hurls a Celestial Rose at Obliviomon, but he just crushes it in a black hole he formed in front of him. "Be forever lost in the singularity, and pester me no more!!"

"Absolute Pestilence!!"

He fires and hits her, forcing her closer to annihilation. As it grows, Obliviomon flies over to the hospital. "So my once mighty general wants to get the innocent sick people out of here. Didn't Darwin teach you anything? Only the fit survive, and I'm the only fit being in the Universe!!" He goes to attack, but he catches Imperialdramon, Gabrielmon, Lewis, Archangewomon, and ThorXaviomon trying to pull Mimi free of the black hole's pull. "How dare you tamper with that which is perfect!! I will teach what truly rules the Universe!!"

"Chaos & Nothingness!!"

He attacks, and then Imperialdramon uses all his strength in a truly heroic act.

"Omega Orange: Positron Laser!!"

He balls up, charges energy from all over his body, and then flies open like Kabuterimon firing an Electro Shocker, but fires a sustained shot. The attack still is coming, but it is slowing and losing steam. It wallops Imperialdramon and Raijinkabuterimon catches him as he reverts to Demiveemon. He lays bleeding and comatose in Raijinkabuterimon's hands. Yolei screams, "No!!!" as he turns darker and darker, when all of a sudden, everything stops and takes on a green shade. An image of water appears, and the D-Terminal surfaces. It turns yellow-green. From the D-Terminal comes a pulse of light so bright, and then it strikes the back of the D3. The small gems glow in clockwise order. The screen opens and out on a metallic rod comes a yellow-green gem sphere. The smaller gems fire up light to it. The Crest of Martyrdom flashes in it as it releases a blast of energy in all directions. Then it shoots a beam straight ahead towards Valkyrimon, and the background slowly changes back to the green hued ruins of Houston as it collides with him.

"Valkyrimon Terravolve to..."

Phantom ghosts of the Digiegg of Sincerity and the gear Mimi had at her Terra level overlap. His eagle helmet left his head to reveal golden hair like Myotismon's. It turns green and thorns grow in it. A golden samurai helmet with the crest of Martyrdom on it lands on his head, and lots of light shone from the insides of it as it decended. A brown fur jacket of sorts like those the Vikings wore slid onto Valkyrimon and covered part of his chest plates, which have turned gold. Silver Gigadigizoid plate mail goes over his clavicles and and neck. Mimi's triple shoulder plate and chain mail sleeve appear on him also. On his left shoulder appears a Magnamon-like shoulder plate, but it is green and only half the length. White leather rope snags the green shoulder plate and threads through it, securing it. The same leather baldrick and belt wrap around his chest and waist, but it also has a scabbard, holding a sword-like weapon, and hanging from the golden ring which holds the baldrick and belt together is his crossbow. A gauntlet with golden spiked knuckles flies onto his right hand. Under the gold diamond plate he already possessed, his left arm become more like Shurimon's arm, and his hand became a three-fingered Gigadigazoid cybernetic hand. His shin plates turned gold and on the knee section, thunder rained over it and the thunder turned green and metal. Below this, golden eagle wings graft onto the plates and arc back and stretch behind him, and above the wings was an engravement of the Eye of Odin (Like Odinkabuterimon's false crystal eye). The metal boots gave way to traditional Japanese sandals. On the upper part of his left arm, a band appeared and had throwing knives all around it. On the baldrick, shurikens galore adorned it, and on the belt, a quiver filled with crossbow bolts appeared beside the scabbard. The 4 feather-like capes on his back disappear and reappear atop his shoulders, but now tipped in green. The four leaf wings of Mimi grow out his back, and Shurimon's giant shuriken is on his back, hooked to the baldrick. He grabs the shuriken with his right hand, and his sword with the left. He leaps up, hurls the shuriken, and the handle on the sword unfolds and makes a lance out of the sword. He extends out his left arm and twirls and strikes with the lance in mid-air in his left hand, and then catches the shuriken flying up from behind with his right. When he lands, the ruins all slide and crumble from being diced and shredded. He holds the lance in his right hand and slams the bottom into the ground.

"NobleValkyrimon, Valhalla's Sentinel!!"

Yolei looks at him and says, "So that's what that light was for!!" He says to her, "I am NobleValkyrimon, a Terra level Warrior Digimon. I come from Valhalla to send banish evil forever!! I may of lost use of the Digiegg of Sincerity forever, but it is worth it!!" He blurs and does a Shurimon-like warp towards Demiveemon. He looks down and then shoots his left arm at Demiveemon.

"Altruic Welcome!!"

He stretches out his hand and wallops Demiveemon upside his forehead. A blast of white light is unleashed when it happens. It slows his fading, but it doesn't stop. Archangewomon and Gabrielmon leave the pulling to Raijinkabuterimon and attend to Demiveemon.

"Divine Charity!!"

"Radiant Salve!!"

The healing powers further slow the effect. Daisuke yells, "We have to do something quick or we'll lose Demiveemon!!" Just then, Avalonmon lands down and blocks Beelzebumon's sword with his own. Daisuke runs up to him and taps his armor. "Daisuke, this isn't a good time." Daisuke then answers, "But we need help now!! Something is wrong with Demiveemon, and Gabrielmon, Archangewomon, and NobleValkyrimon have not been able to help." Then, Gabrielmon and Archanewomon attack Beelzebumon's sword and pushes it out of Avalonmon's way. "You two keep Beelzebumon distracted long enough to give Demiveemon a wake up call!!" He runs over and sees the problem. "Disengage Helmet!!" His mask folds up, vanishes, and the plates on the back of his head collapse and the sideburn-like plates slide back up into the discs. The discs open and become a semi-circle wrapped behind his ears. His white hair blew in the wind. "Obliviomon's obliterating powers are breaking him down and erasing him. I'll just have to rewrite him!!"

"Salve of Eternity!!"

A vial slides into his left hand from under the armor, and he puts it between his hands, and it hovers. He has his hands on either side, and the substance glows and then the vial shatters, and it hovers over Demiveemon in a sphere shape. Glowing drops fall onto him, and the blackness goes away. Then he turns to Mimi, and sees, that despite the efforts of Lewis, Raijinkabuterimon, and ThorXaviomon, she is seconds away from annihilation. Over at the hospital, Obliviomon has turned his attention back to the hospital. "Where was I? Yes, DIE!!"

"Omega Crusher!!"

Patriotaviamon gets in the way and draws her cutlass. "Get the people out of here, Sora!!" She puts the cutlass in the path of the attack, and it pushes her into the hospital. She starts to use the hospital to hold the attack off by planting her talons into the side and pushing off of it, but the building is not designed to take such stress, and begins to slide off its foundation. Before it can fall though, Daedalusmon and NeptuneZudomon grab the other side and keep it standing up. Ya need to hurry, Sora!! This attack is obliterating my sword!! When it gets done with it, it'll hit me, and everyone inside will get killed!!" Sora yells, "There's so many people too injured to move!! What am I going to do!!" Patriotaviamon is completely covered in sweat, and is totally exhausted. "Must.... stay.... awake....." Lewis yells, "Hey, you angels, get over here! We have to get Obliviomon's attention, and I know how. Grandkuwagumon, Raijinkabuterimon, Digmon, NobleValkyrimon, and DaoGarurumon will be more than enough to keep Demon Towers there busy." They come and he goes, "I need you fire your two most powerful attacks towards me, and then I'll use my best two. If it does what I think it will, we can get Obliviomon's attention and free Mimi at the same time." He turns to Avalonmon. "As soon as she's free, Beelzebumon will probably be past the others and ready on a warpath for you, so as soon as I give the signal, hit him hard and fast!!"

"Seven Star Salvation!!"

"Lambda Light!!"

"Divine Vindication!!"

"Celestial Comet!!"

"Vindicator!!"

"Elemental Firestorm!!"

As in the previous case, they formed a crystal ball. Lewis took and hurled it at the black hole as hard as he could.

"Wrath of the Gods!!"

The ball exploded inside the vortex, and the black hole suddenly became a white hole, throwing Mimi away and restoring time in that area. Obliviomon let off his attack when the white hole formed. "How dare you contaminate perfection!! You are a little human. You are like any other, and like any other, I condemn you to death!!"

"Wave of Annihilation!!"

Lewis teleports behind him and then teleports the hospital occupants out. Mimi flies over and heals the sickly people. Obliviomon turns and attacks the innocent people with Absolute Pestilence. Sora screams, "Stop it, Obliviomon!! Leave them out of this!!" Then her shard glows and she passes out. Patriotaviamon gets a sudden burst of strength, allowing her to swing her rifle like a baseball bat and knock the blast off towards space. The rifle melted into goo and the blast hit the moon, creating a blast and shockwave so powerful that made a crater so deep, the wave destroying all the other craters within 1000 miles of the blast site, that the moon now looks like the Death Star. Lewis teleports far away to safety. Suddenly, Patriotaviamon also falls out cold, but does not de-digivolve. In fact, she is glowing. Lewis teleports the people away to safety. Before he can turn to finish off Patriotaviamon, he is bombarded by holy flower petals.

"Angelic Petals!!"

He turns and his eyes blaze with fury. "BURN!! BURN WENCH!! SCREAM IN AGONY FOR ME!!"

"Fires of Apocalyse!!"

Magma and fire blasted from the Earth up at all of them. Blades of brimstone rocketed up into the sky and flew at the Digimon. Some even flew at Beelzebumon!! The other Digimon took the children clear of the city. The ground crumbled, and Houston fell into a sea of lava. Beelzebumon went after the kids, and Avalonmon followed, as flames and lava belched up at Mimi. She sees it coming, but then gets an idea. "Obliviomon, this destruction has to end."

"Lily Tiara!!"

She removes the ring of flowers over her forehead, and they become a halo of sorts. She throws it down at the rising tower of lava and it splits it, then hits nearby ground and causes a cave in, sealing the pit.

"Celestial Rose!!"

She throws one of her roses down below the bottom of the ever rising blat, and then moves as the rose explodes and throws the lava up into the atmosphere. "You're more of an airhead than I thought!! What good will that do you!!" "This!!"

"Devout Phoenix!!"

She puts the Sword of Life before her, and flies ahead, then up, gathering power the whole time. She flies past the lava, which has started to harden at this altitude. Her passing infused it with life energy. She arcs over it, never stopping, speeding up and peaks in the Exosphere. The chunk of hardened continues to fly up as she descends down, angelic wings spread, blazing during re-entry. The flames turn white and the flames make her look like a white phoenix. People thousands of miles away can her brilliance as she nears light speed. Obliviomon sees her and prepares.

"Absolute War!!"

The impact of the two colliding rips a holy shock wave over 100 miles. Beelzebumon's armor cracks and he starts bleeding from his mouth and nose, a black, tarry, molten, flaming blood. Obliviomon and Mimi are thrown away quite a distance. Obliviomon skids for over 200 miles northeast, and Mimi 200 miles southwest, blasting through Corpus Christy along the way, all from the collision. Mimi gets up and says, "Where am I? I'm so sore." She sees the ditch she made sliding stretching on out for miles. She looks around her and sees a sign that is stuck on the sword, which is stuck in the ground beside her. "Welcome to Corpus Christy." She looks up surprised. "That explosion must have been more powerful than I thought. I gotta get back and stop Obliviomon!!" She pulls the sign off the sword and follows the trench she made back.

Back at Houston Valley, seeing as that's all that left of it, Avalonmon goes on the offensive. He swings at Beelzebumon, and it breaks a slot in his armor. Beelzebumon holds his chest. Avalonmon flies up.

"Light of Avalon!!"

On his sword, the kanji 'Throw me Away' glows and he does so by throwing it to his left from his left hand. As it flies, it turns and takes on a curved path. It leaves spheres of light every 15 feet. As it flies, Avalonmon takes up a charging stance like a DBZ character would do, hovering there in mid-air. An aura of white light gathers around and becomes a pillar of energy. The kanji 'Take Me' glows and he grabs Excalibur with his right hand. He turns head and sword first towards Beelzebumon. The spheres, 18 in all, each take on a Dragonesque form and charge with Avalonmon as he spearheads the light beam. Just as he closes, Beelzebumon leans back, and is only grazed as Avalonmon misses, blowing off chunks of his armor.. He stops and turns, the white dragons circling him, when Beelzebumon says, "Nice light show. Just one problem. It's too bright. Let me help you FIX IT!!!"

"Axe of Mephistophiles!!"

He swings and misses, and Avalonmon evaded, but that's what Beelzebumon wanted him to do.

"Malevolent Gaze!!"

A beam of Dark energy hits Avalonmon, and he is in pain. The maintained shot locks onto his eyes. Then Beelzebumon feeds him psychic propeganda. "You're weak." "You lack the power to fight me!!" "Obliviomon has already won." "You fight us in vain." and various other sublimenal messages fill Avalonmon's mind. "How is he doing this? I should be able to block this out. Why can't I?" Matt yells, "Get Beelzebumon away from Avalonmon, DaoGarurumon!!" Then he looks over at Tai, and he is barely able to stand on his own, extremely pale, and he is drenched in sweat. "Get him....." He nearly falls down. Matt runs over and holds him up. ThorXaviomon, DaoGarurumon, and Raijinkabuterimon attack at once.

"Blitzgrieg Claw!!"

"Odin Cannon!!"

"Raijin Chain Lightning!!"

Nothing. He doesn't flinch or stop for a second. Kari says, "Tai, what's wrong?" He goes, "Nothing, Kari." He loses his strength in his legs again. Lewis looks at him. He touches his forehead. "Uh, ew!!" he says, flinging sweat off his hand. "He's ice cold!!" TK says, "Why is he like this?" Kari recalls her experiences and goes, "The eighteenth Crest is Life, and that is what made Mimi and Paladingreymon Omega Terravolve. It's also the same energy they need to keep up this level. Mimi is fine since she is her own power source, but Tai is literally killing himself trying to keep Avalonmon powered. He's giving Avalonmon life energy!!" Beelzebumon's mind games are overwhelming the psyche of Avalonmon. Beelzebumon says, "Now..., SLEEP!!" Avalonmon uncontrollably falls over asleep. Beelzebumon picks him up in his palm and is draining him for power, when Lilymon hops into ThorXaviomon. Araiya says, "Hey, where am I supposed to hide now, eh!!" ThorXaviomon asks, "What are you doing, Lilymon?" "Well, his armor is broken, and if logic serves me, combination of two Terras to unprotected chest means big hurt for the Prince of Darkness." "But you're not a Terra." She flips manual override. "You'll see." Araiya runs up to Lewis, "Tell your wife to respect other's things and friends!! She's hijacked ThorXaviomon and is trying to take him on one on one!!" Lewis says, "Well, I can change that." "You're going to stop her?" Araiya asks. "No. I'm going to help her." As she says "What!!" Lewis leapfrogs off her head and into the air. Araiya runs over and tries to yank Archangewomon's minigun off her armor, cursing and yelling, "I'm gonna kill 'em!!" Her shard glows. Joe goes, "Well, she's devoted." Matt says, "Yeah, to kicking Lewis's ass!!" Lewis flies and spins faster and faster.

"Equalizer!!"

He flings his supercharged sword at Beelzebumon and it cleaves into his chest. Beelzebumon can't grab it it is so small to compared to him.

"Nova Bombs!!"

He throws them at the sword, driving it deeper and deeper into him and widening the wound. ThorXaviomon, now glowing, blasts through the wound. Lilymon says, "Time to do some internal collateral damage!!"

"Vengence of Valhalla!!"

Beelzebumon screams as Lilymon uses ThorXaviomon's arsenal to go on a wonton destruction spree of his rib cage. Beelzebumon focuses and summons white blood cells and antibodies to attack ThorXaviomon. "I think we wore out our welcome, Lilymon!!" "Yes, we have. Let's rip him a new one and get out of here!!" ThorXaviomon's barrels start to spin. Lilymon's left hand glows with power.

"Sextuple Lightsaber!!"

The barrels spin, and instead of bullets or fire, green blades of light spin and dice all around from the barrels. ThorXaviomon charges ahead through the blood cells and using the beams, saw holes through them and then they start carving through his back. ThorXaviomon is being pummeled by antibodies as Lilymon uses him to cut through the meat. Lewis is flying around near his chest, and Beelzebumon is swatting, seeing as he is too close to use any special abilities. Lewis keeps on evading and making him punch himself. Lewis yells, "Hey, help is nice!!" The others rush Beelzebumon. Archangewomon goes, "You really need to air out."

"Divine Vindication!!"

The sheer agony of the the light in him breaks him to his knees. NeptuneZudomon charges from behind.

"Zudo Hailstorm!!"

NobleValkyrimon flies at his wings. "These wings are so 'Divine Comedy.' Get with the times!!"

"Dragoon Threader!!"

He throws the lance at Beelzebumon's wing, and it pierces the leathery hide. NobleValkyrimon warps to the other side and catches. He repeats this 15 more times. "Gotta watch for those moths there. Let me sew it up!!"

"Dwarven Darts!!"

He grabs shurikens and throwing knives and hurls them supercharged and at supersonic speeds. He depletes his supply in 5 seconds, and then a new set appears. "Damn, forgot the thread. Looks like I'll have to scrap it!!"

"Beo Bolts!!"

He fires his arrows from the crossbow, and they stab into the upper part of his left wing. They stab into the exposed meat, then glow with light, and explode. A messy explosion results in his left wing becoming digidust. Digmon sneaks up on him. "That armor looks snug. Let me loosen it!!"

"Gold Rush!!"

He hits the buckles where the armor is fastened, tearing the leather. An explosion rips off the armor, and ThorXaviomon busts out the back. Lilymon says to ThorXaviomon, "See, I told you, and I ad libbed the whole thing too." Lewis says looking through the gaping hole in Beelzebumon's chest, "Hey, I can see the ocean through here!! What else can it pick up?" Beelzebumon holds his chest screaming, "This isn't right. I am a GOD compared to you!!" He stands and throws everyone away with a burst of flames. Jill looks as she helps to give Tai some water and food to help keep his strength up. "Oh, he's pissed." Grandkuwagumon heads towards Beelzebumon.

"Dimension...."

Before he can finish, Beelzebumon roundhouses him out of the county and out Mimi's direction. Ken screamed, "Grandkuwagumon, hold on!!" He turns to Beelzebumon. Beelzebumon says to him, "Like Sora, you also betrayed us. I don't like betrayers. I LOATHE THOSE WHO WOULD BETRAY ME!!"

"Damnation Blade!!"

He swings his mighty sword at Ken, but he starts running. When the sword hits the ground, Ken goes flying in the air. Yolei catches him. Daedalusmon flies by Beelzebumon's eyes.

"Crash of Feathers!!"

The explosions do little damage, but the flashes of light from them temporarily blind him. Ken yells at him, "I have changed!! I'm not the fiend I was!! I'm no Digimon Emperor!!" Beelzebumion swipes at him and misses. "I realized my mistakes, and I will attone for them. I had rage, but I have seen the truth. It's beings like you who loved to see me betray, betray my heart!!" Then, a glow came from his Crest of Kindness. When he went to grab for it, instead he pulled out an amulet shaped like the Crest of Kindness. The shard was a giant sphere, and hooked to the gem sets that held the shard in place were the Crests of Courage, Kindness, and Love. Miyako goes, "I remember that Crest and Shard!! Cora had it!! It's the Shard of Redemption!!" The red-orange spherical shard glowed and lifted up into the air. Ken Black D3 became a Fuschia & Black trimmed EDI. Ken says, "Do I deserve this?" Daisuke says, "You are the one person who deserves it the most, Ken. One of the keys of reddeming yourself is to forgive your foes, and you have done that, many times. You have apologized many times as well. There's no one more worthy of such an honor as you. If it will help Grandkuwagumon save the world, then take it!!" Ken grabs it.

"THE SHARD OF REDEMPTION!!"

From a distance, Grandkuwagumon sees the light. "Time to Terravolve!!"

"Grandkuwagumon Terravolve to...."

Everything goes fuschia as light from Ken's EDI flies out and reaches Grandkuwagumon. Grandkuwagumon spins himself into a cocoon, and seconds later explodes out of it. His torso resembles Stingmon, but his wings are like Grandkuwagumon's. Everything else is cloaked in darkness. His right arm looks very insectoid, and ends in a nub. Four bone appendages shoot out the end and a bone spike at what could be called an elbow. His left arm is humanoid and a pine green tone. A Mega Man-like gauntlet goes over his forearm and his hand becomes mechanical. A set of smaller arms grow on his sides. Legs like Paildramon he has, but the blue is a deep pine green. His face and head have a horrid look like that of the Predator, except he has spiky manibles growing out beside his mouth, which has teeth on the sides of his mouth, and opens sideways, and on the bottom are two black bone jaws like Waspinator has. Drool glazes down from it as he opens it. He has four silver eyes, and they shine, showing all the little hexagon mini-eyes within them. He has black dredlocks for hair as well. Spikes ozze out his back and his muscle mass grows by 150%, as though he were on some sort of horrid steroid, becoming monstrously huge and atrocious. The mass make him hunch over slightly. Then all the black turns red-orange, and a vest of Gigadigizoid metal comes over him. A poncho, of sorts, of chain mail covers most of him (An opening in front, sleeveless, slit in back for wings and spikes). Silver GDZ shi plates tightly wrap over portions of his lower legs, and little mini jets appear. Then a grey robe came over him, and though it had a hood, it did not cover his head. The robe and the 2 extremely baggy sleeves blew in the wind as a spiked shoulder plate with baldrick landed on his left shoulder, the baldrick going around him and under the robe. A staff crashes into the ground before him, smoldering and steaming. The end of it was larger and split into eight parts, which were folded up. He takes the staff in his left hand, then the end opens to reveal a gun. He fires this energy cannon, then the end closes and he spins it around and around in his hand, creating a tornado. His robes and chain poncho flap from the wind.

"FujitaOkuwamon, The Winds of Change!!"

He skids off into the distance. Beelzebumon smacks down NobleValkyrimon and Daedalusmon like flies. He jumps into the air, balls up, and when he crashes down, a wave of fire sweeps the ground along with a 7.2 quake on the richter scale. Fires and quakes cause remaining gas mains to start exploding. Izzy responds, "We can't let him jump like that again!!" Then he leaps up again. This time DaoGarurumon is able to lower gravity around him and make him land gently. Daisuke says, "Hey, DaoGarurumon, why didn't you just send him into space?" Kari says to him, "You don't get it. We can't pawn him off to another world, or let him hide and recover, just so he can strike again. See what this fight is doing to Tai?! He knows this is right, and he keep doing the noble thing, even if it will kill him." Daisuke responds with nothing but a but. "He has to be stopped here, or countless billions are left open to his onslaught. Think about the big picture!! Unlike most other digimon, we can't give Beelzebumon and Obliviomon any quarter." She smacks him over the head and walks away. "But I don't have any quarters, Kari!!" He looks over at Tai, struggling just to keep from collapsing entirely and drenched in sweat. "Kari is right. We have to stop them, no matter what." Beelzebumon closes and lifts his foot over the other digidestined. Daisuke runs over and hurls a rock at Beelzebumon's shin. "Hey, over here!!" Beelzebumon puts his foot aside and says, "Insolent prick!!"

"Sin Storm!!"

Yolei goes, "What is he doing? He's crazy!!" TK goes, "I see what he's doing. He's putting himself on the line to give us time to regroup and counterattack." Kari says, "How... noble of him." Daisuke holds his arms out and yells, "Yahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" and a orb of white light surrounded him.

Everything stops in an orange hue and spins around to Daisuke's D3. From a pool of orange liquid the D-Terminal arises. The main panel opens and sends a pulse of light to the D3. Like Yolei's, his D3's screen opened and a giant spherical gem rose up. The sound of an explosion rips through the air as energy surges in the gem and explodes out in a violent fury. The explosion rips around, changing the orange to white and reaching Demiveemon.

"Demiveemon Terravolve to...."

As he is hit, he takes the body of Flamedramon, but minus the armor and tail. His eyes are almost completely in front, like a human set. Phantom images of Paladingreymon's armor and the Digiegg of Courage enter him. Silver GDZ armor wraps over his neck and all around it, and separates into plates and hinges. The rest of his chest is covered in metallic armor adorned in flames. Down his lower torso, golden chain mail covers him. Then, silver ab plates appear simultaneously with some back pieces. A gem appears in the dead center of his abdomen area as does another on the dead center of his lower back. Two golden ring wrap from gem to gem diagonally, forming a shape with the appearance of an X. Silver GDZ fuses the rings together. More hinged silver slides down all the way to just above his ankles. A silver groin plate materializes and from it hang 2 silver plates, one in front and one in the rear, which resemble Magnamon's belt plates. Silver theigh plates appear and clamp onto his theighs as a pair of gold chain mail knickers materialize. On his feet and ankles, silver anklets cover his ankles, heels, and arches of his feet. Giant silver and gold-trimmed domed shoulder plates, large enough to possibly rival Avalonmon's in size appear on his shoulders. Another set of narrow silver and gold-trimmed plates lock atop those, and these have a deep groove in the middle. Bosses appear to lock the covers the main plates. White leather ropes launch out and tie the plates the the chest. On his right arm, a plate like the one on Imperialdramon's forearm, except decorated in flames, snaps onto his forearm. On his left, a slightly modified Flamedramon forearm plate slides atop his left forearm and hand, and covers his hand like a fingerless glove. Flamedramon's helmet lands on his head, then a green version of Paildramon visor goes over his eyes, and then from his forehead shoot two silver bars which go over the helmet and behind him, connecting at the area where the base of his skull is. A second set of bars starts below the eyes of the Paildramon-like visor and fuse below his jaw. The area between is encased in gold GDZ. From between his eyes, silver versions of Paladingreymon's helmet's horns shoot out and behind his head. Spiky hair of an orange hue is on his head as golden plate decorate and adorn the top of his long ears. In flames, a medallion on the Crest of Honor is created and a cape with a flame design is formed from it in a fiery spectacle. The medallion locks onto his chest. From the bosses on his shoulder plates, fires blaze out and through the grooves and down his back, making two more flame design capes. On the abdomen X piece, more fire belches out and makes two flame design ribbons, the one on the right marked with the Crest of Courage and the one on the right emblazened with the Crest of Light. Down from the inside edge of the shoulder plates, fire blazes down, and as Avalonmon has, he has capes hanging from the inside edge of the plates, and they also have the flaming design, and have matching crests as the ribbons. The bottom of the left forearm plate opens, and out comes a sword hilt. It shoots into his palm and spins around 5 times, then he grabs it, and a blade of fire comes out. The Crest of Honor burns into the big cape and five golden beams shoot out from behind his ears. He charges and swipes down a dead tree. It splits in half and catches fire, and burns into nothingness in a few tenths of a second. His name appears in the background as his capes flap in the wind and the fire burns behind him.

"PaladinImperialdramon, The Noble Light in the Sky!!"

As everything returns to normal, PaladinImperialdramon rushes Beelzebumon, throws Daisuke clear, flies up, and runs up his side striking away. He nears the gaping hole in Beelzebumon's chest when he points his right arm where the armor is cracked.

"Crusader Lancecets!!"

His claws fire off like missiles, and new ones slid into place, and they fired, and so on, at the weak point of the remaining armor, and he kept firing as he ran through the hole to the other side. Smoke poured from the wound. PaladinImperialdramon rushes down to the ground. "About time you learned true courage, Daisuke." He says, sounding like Flamedramon. Gabrielmon adds, "It's not his fault he's a little hardheaded and slow. I blame it on one too many concussions on the soccer field." Beelzebumon blows away the smoke. "I don't want your second hand smoke. Have some Dark Light, on the house!!" He shoots down unto them, but Archangewomon gets on his foot and tricks him into shooting himself. Iori says, "I realize now that Beelzebumon isn't that bright or fast. If we can pester him at close range, he'll be so busy swatting away at things he can't hit, that he'll forget us long enough to wake up Avalonmon.." Izzy adds, "That's great Iori!!" Iori goes, "PaladinImperialdramon, ThorXaviomon, and DaoGarurumon, attack low. Gabrielmon, NobleValkyrimon, Daedalusmon, and Archangewomon, hit him high. Raijinkabuterimon and Digmon, when the others attack from the air, be ready to bust open the ground under him. And for NeptuneZudomon and Lewis, look out for the others and Obliviomon, and if he comes back or this fails, protect us." The digimon nod.

Now, almost a whole trip around the world later, DieselSeraphimon and Abyssmon still wrestle in the air in a virtual dead heat.

"Heavenly Arbitration!!"

"Dante's Inferno!!"

The two attacks clash over the ocean and create a major tsunami in all directions from the resulting explosion. They continue grappling and once again are over Mexico. DieselSeraphimon gets the upper hand and kicks Abyssmon with his tire down to the ground. He skids along and smashes through a Border Patrol station. DieselSeraphimon lands in front of him and points his sword down at him. "Do you surrender?" He asks, revving up his engines. Abyssmon answers, "Why, so can spend the rest of my life imprisoned!! No, thank you!!" He jumps up and punches DieselSeraphimon.

"Corruption Absolute!!"

The evil energy hits DieselSeraphimon and traps him, slowing crushing him. "The evil...., hurts...., crushing me... Must get free!!"

"Testament of Time!!"

He quite painfully breaks the attacks and body checks Abyssmon. As they zoom along at near light speed, Abyssmon punches him, knocking him to the ground. Abyssmon grabs on and rides him like a sleigh through many counties, punching away at him, and sparks flying up from DieselSeraphimon's back as he skids along the ground. Just then, Abyssmon looks up and sees something ahead. "It looks like there is something flying ahead, but I can't quite seem to make it o......" Moments earlier, Mimi is still flying her way back to Houston. "Did I just hear something?" Then Abyssmon's head goes crack upside the hard, painful heels on Mimi's sandals. Abyssmon and DieselSeraphimon go up in the air, and collide again with Mimi. Then, out of nowhere, FujitaOkuwamon, still airborne from Beelzebumon's roundhouse, smacks into them and makes this a foursome. They all end up on the ground in a dogpile knocked out cold, with FujitaOkuwamon on top. Moments later, FujitaOkuwamon gets up. "Where am I? Better yet, where did this dogpile come from?" He grabs Mimi and pulls her up. "Mimi, get up!!" he yells. All Mimi does is, "Daddy, I want to ride the WHITE horsey." then falls back down with a goofy look of surprise on her face. FujitaOkuwamon gets a look of annoyance and little anime teardrop appears on part of his face. With sarcasm, he comments, "Omegas. Wen you need them, they're snoring away in la-la land." He rolls her over, and then DieselSeraphimon gets up. He looks around. "Systems Functional... Who the hell are you?!" FujitaOkuwamon says, "I'm FujitaOkuwamon, and..." Before he can finish, Abyssmon wakes up. He has indents and giant bruises from Mimi's heels embedded in his skull. He grabs his head. "Me no feel good." He says in a Homer Simpson-like way. DieselSeraphimon goes, "I think she kicked him stupid." FujitaOkuwamon adds, "You're saying he has brain damage? I always thought evil lackeys never HAD brains to begin with." Abyssmon looks at them and says, "Me lose brain?" DieselSeraphimon and FujitaOkuwamon start laughing. After a bit, Abyssmon starts laughing too. DieselSeraphimon and FujitaOkuwamon slowly stop and get looks of horror and confusion. "Uh..., let's go." FujitaOkuwamon grabs Mimi up, but then Abyssmon attacks.

"Dante's Inferno!!"

He grabs Mimi up, and then takes her sword. "Geez, how stupid are you two?" he laughs. Then he points at FujitaOkuwamon. "Who the hell are you?" Contact with the sword heals him, and he regains his legs. "That's not good." DieselSeraphimon peeps. FujitaOkuwamon goes, "With Gaiamune, he holds our lives in his very hands." He holds the sword up high and he starts drawing life from the earth. Rocks fly from the ground as a black glow surrounds him.

"Corruption Absolute!!"

The attacks sweeps the land like a nuclear blast. DieselSeraphimon lay on the ground, bleeding. "We have to get that sword away from him...." DieselSeraphimon mutters weakly.

"Sonic Knuckle!!"

"Heavenly Arbitration!!"

Abyssmon smacks FujitaOkuwamon mechanical hand with the sword, and uses Mimi to block DieselSeraphimon's onslaught. Then Abyssmon charges forth, the tip of the sword dragging in the dirt. He slashes DieselSeraphimon around his hip, and there is an explosion. A computer voice says to DieselSeraphimon, "Internal Fuel Detonation. Severe damage to tire shock system. Engines overheating. Activating Emergency Cool-Down Procedures." He slumps over in a sleep state as he vents Liquid Nitrogen. "Now is not a good time for a nap, DieselSeraphimon!!" FujitaOkuwamon mentions. Abyssmon closes in on FujitaOkuwamon.

"Gale Cannonball!!"

A major gale force wind picks up. Abyssmon stops to slice a dead tree about to fall on him. Fog picks up. All of a sudden, he is struck by a balled-up FujitaOkuwamon's spikes, and then again, and again. He loses the sword on the third hit, and it vanishes into the mist. DieselSeraphimon comes back online. "Let's finish him!!" DieselSeraphimon yells.

"Heavenly Arbitration!!"

The blast blows off his right arm and part of his chest, making him drop Mimi and fall backwards. He gets up and says, "Where are you? Come out of this fog and fight me!!" The silhoulette of FujitaOkuwamon appears in the fog. "I'll get rid of this fog for you." He takes his staff in his left hand. His hand starts spinning.

"Fujita 5!!"

A tornado forms from his hand and staff. Abyssmon is caught in it. He keeps spinning and spinning. "What's this going to do? Make me too nauseous to fight?" "You'll see." Abyssmon keeps spinning, faster and faster. Abyssmon grimaces in pain. "This is beginning to hurt!!" FujitaOkuwamon says, "Oh, the pain is just beginning!!" Suddenly, Abyssmon is screaming in agony as he feels pain as though he was being torn limb to limb. FujitaOkuwamon's hand and staff are spinning so fast no one can see them anymore. Then, Abyssmon lets out one final, blood-curdling scream, then the high G-Force and RPM's rip him to shreds, almost as though he exploded. The messy remains disintegrate as they fall to earth. DieselSeraphimon gapes in awe and speaks, "Now that's a finishing move!!" FujitaOkuwamon picks up the sword. Then Mimi wakes up. "What happened?" Then she sees FujitaOkuwamon and screams in shock, "Who the hell are you?" FujitaOkuwamon looks at her cock-eyed, and answers, "I seem to be getting this a lot lately. I'm FujitaOkuwamon." "And you're here why?" she asks. "Well, I remeber getting roundhoused by Beelzebumon, then Terravolving, and that's how I came to be here." "Terravolved from whom?" Mimi ponders. "From Grandkuwagumon, of course!!" She processes this tidbit of info, and then says, "Okay, that makes sense. Let's go."

Back in what was just the day before the city of Houston, Iori's plan is beginning to work. "He's getting sloppy!! Look at him hit himself trying to hit our digimon!!" Miyako giggles. Lewis, running across Beelzebumon's chest, dragging his sword in his exposed meat, goes, "See, and that's why you don't ever try." Araiya yells out, "We don't hear your guru psycho-babble, Lewis!!" ThorXaviomon comes out from the hole in the chest while doing a Vengence of Valhalla attack, "After a while it does tend to annoy one. Maybe later, Lewis." PaladinImperialdramon flies into the sky.

"Ichiban Hi Roketto no Sora!!"

The flame adorned parts of his armor open and flamethrowers spew out white holy flames into a sphere above PaladinImperialdramon. After a couple of seconds of shooting fire, he ascends into it. He zooms at him, but halfway, makes a sharp turn up. He gets up into the stratosphere, and then turns back towards Earth, blazing down at millions of times the speed of sound. Halfway down, he draws his sword and starts spinning, turning the sphere into almost a spike shape, spinning around PaladinImperialdramon. His sword leads the charge down as he closes. He slams into Beelzebumon's chest, and a white light explosion rivaling the intensity of Wrath of the Gods ensues. The digimon and Digidestined are blown away by the shockwave, and Beelzebumon goes flying into the Gulf of Mexico. "I ripped him a new one." PaladinImperialdramon says boldly. And he was right. A new wound was on Beelzebumon's waist. From the Gulf, they here Beelzebumon wail in pain as the salt water burns his insides. Daisuke goes, "That'll teach him not to.... oh crap." A tsunami of major proportions swept towards them. NeptuneZudomon charges forth.

"Tsunami Cutter!!"

He sends out his own tsunami to stop the approaching tsunami. The two collide and the water flies up into the air. PaladinImperialdramon gets soaked. "I explicitly asked for a no-splashing section." he comments. Daisuke also gets soaked. "Hey, I'm wet here. Ecchhh, salt water in my mouth." The water drenches Sora and Patriotaviamon. Then Beelzebumon jumps out of the Gulf and back at them. PaladinImperialdramon moves to intercept. "Worked last time, so it should work again."

"Ichiban Hi Rocketto no Sora!!"

Sora wakes up. "Somebody say my name?" PaladinImperialdramon closes, and Beelzebumon counters with Damnation Blade. The two collide, and cause a second meltdown, but this one blows PaladinImperialdramon into the ground. Beelzebumon tries to fly, but forgets he has but one wing left. "Well, at least I'll squish that stupid Paladin." He goes into a death drop, and PaladinImperialdramon gets up, running for all he's worth, but gets smacked by one of Beelzebumon's legs. He goes flying into the terra firma, and goes, "Um..., OW!!" Raijinkabuterimon says, "Well, now we got new problems. Obliviomon, 4 miles and closing!!" Beelzebumon gets up. "Well now you'll get a taste of true evil!!"

"Diablo Pitchfork!!"

He pulls out a pitchfork from arm and hurls it into the center of the group. "Funny. Shouldn't we be doing the whole screaming and running away deal, and this thing letting out some sort of evil power about now?" Lewis goes. "Now, if you'll excuse me... AUUGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" He jumps as far away as he can. As he jumps, he is accompanied by Lilymon. "Shouldn't we help our friends?" Lewis suddenly remembers them. "Oh, yeah.....!! I almost forgot in all that confusion."

"HyperCenturiosapien Teleport!!"

Lewis teleports them up in the air alongside them. Araiya smacks Lewis upside the head. "If you'd stop to pay attention, you'd notice the thing is charging up." Lewis smacks her upside the head. "Uh, yeah... Why do think I was RUNNING!!" Joe goes, "Well, we can't just sit here in the air forever, you know." Iori says, "Maybe if we attack it, it'll blow up before it can reach full power..." Lewis says to Iori, "Ya know kid, I like you. Here's $20." He teleports a 20 over to Iori. "Wow, thanks!!" Izzy goes, "Two Omegas....." As he mumbles, the digimon fire on it.

"Patriot Missile!!"

"Magnum Ice!!"

"Asgard Sledge!!"

"Raijin Chain Lightning!!"

"Crash of Feathers!!"

"Vindecator!!"

"Flower Cannon!!"

"Seven Star Salvation!!"

"Celestial Comet!!"

"Zudo Hailstorm!!"

"Beo Bolts!!"

"Crusader Lanecets!!"

"Gold Rush!!"

"Circle of Roses!!"

The attacks hit the pitchfork, and in a white light, the ground around it shattered, and then the roses uprooted it, the missile sent it airborne, and Digmon's drills, NobleValkyrimon's throwing knives, and ThorXaviomon's sledgehammer shattered it. A flash went off. "I think instead of an explosion, I think we just made an IMPLOSION!!" Izzy yells. The winds start sucking back towards the two Omegas. Obliviomon returns. "They did THIS to you? You suck!! Make it up to me and kill the brats. I got a First Terra to find and destroy, and then I can this dump perfect." Beelzebumon turns to the Digidestined.

"Sin Storm!!"

The attack heads for them. Patriotaviamon closes her wings and dives at the attack. Sora screams, "No!! Don't do it!!" Patriotaviamon yells back, "Be strong. The good of the many outweigh the good of the few." "But..." Sora then gets it. "So this is Courage.... I understand you, Kari. Now I know Life." She starts glowing. "Go get him, Patriotaviamon!!" As did Tai's and Mimi's, her shard shatters, and becomes six. A new shard appears and locks into her hand. She grabs the nexus in her left hand, and then a blast of blinding light bursts from her left hand

"OMEGA TERRAVOLVE!!"

"Patriotaviamon Omega Terravolve to..."

The song 'Hemorrhage' by Fuel plays. Everything stops, and the camera spins around Sora's head, and then enters her left eye. Deep inside in the darkness is Patriotaviamon shackled. Suddenly, the Power Nexus of Liberty appears and infuses her with light. She shatters the chains and flies up into a pillar of light eminating from the bottom of the Nexus. As the words "Lead me to myself..." is played in the song, she collides with the Nexus. An explosion of red light flies all around and fireworks start exploding, hundreds at a time, as the light fades, showing a fireball of light flying over a rebellious crowd cheering and screaming. The flames subside to reveal a long-red-haired woman with giant eagle wings and tailfeathers in a spaghetti-strap dress which adorned in the design of the American flag. A golden forearm plate with the Crest of Life on it flashes onto her right arm. Golden Obsidium wing plates cover the top edges of her wings. A harness comes over her, and on it is a double spear (Point on either end). A golden gauntlet materializes on her right hand as she grabs the double spear. Holding and adorning each of the spearheads with the staff is a full red and violet Crest of Liberty. She flies at a hammer and sickle logo and separates the spear into two pieces. She slices and dices, then puts the two back as one. She stabs it into the ground, spins wildly and fastly, then lifting up and spinning right side up, creating a cyclone of pink light. The light blows the logo to pieces and slags it as well. She lands on the ground, and a gold necklace covers her neck. The center gem is one third ruby, one third emerald, and one third sapphire. In the center, a white Crest of Life is emblazened unto it.

"Sovereignmon, Live Free or Die!!"

The voice goes, "Omega Terravolve, the Cycle is Complete." And then he adds, "The Omega Triad is Complete!!"

Sovereignmon zooms through and shatters the attack Beelzebumon unleashed. She puts her spear ahead of herself.

"Phoenix Rising!!"

White light surrounded her, forming a phoenix. He raises his hand to swat her down, but she blows through his hand. Lewis says, "Didn't know demons could be hole-y too!!!" Sovereignmon turns to the kids. "I see Mimi, DieselSeraphimon, and someone else not far away. We'll handle Obliviomon. You guys can probably hold off Beelzebumon until Rip Van Avalonmon wakes up. Who the hell is that?!" She flies at Obliviomon. "Hello!! Meet my BOOMSTICK!!" She slams the spear at Obliviomon and a blast of energy goes off as he blocks it. FujitaOkuwamon and DieselSeraphimon arrive back with them, and Mimi doesn't stop. She heads right for Obliviomon. Everyone in unisom except Ken, "Who the hell are you?" Ken goes, "Oh, hi. Where have you been FujitaOkuwamon?" FujitaOkuwamon answers, "Finally, someone who recognizes me." DieselSeraphimon says, "Well, we crushed Abyssmon. What'd we miss?" Suddenly, in a brilliant move, Beelzebumon snatches DaoGarurumon in his hand. "Your pathetic power may be useful to me, Wolf Man." He absorbs DaoGarurumon's power, speed, and strenght, and he reverts to Punimon. "I think some electricity will get these juices going!!" He suddenly, with DaoGarurumon's speed, snags Raijinkabuterimon and drains him too. He falls to the ground as Pabumon and Izzy catches him. All his wounds except the big chest hole ThorXaviomon and Lilymon gave him seem to heal on their own. He gets a grin on his face as lightning blasted up from the ground. He starts to chant in Latin, and then a flash. "I can't move!!" Gabrielmon yells. "Neither can I!!" ThorXaviomon. Archangewomon screams, "I fallen, and I can't get up!!" Lewis is teetering over. Kari looks around, and see that only the digimon wearing any armor are affected. "Everyone, get away from all the Digimon wearing armor!!" Lewis pulls his metal vest off and leaves it on the ground and runs with the rest. Kari continues, "Apparently, he's magnetized us." Suddenly, the chrome covers of their digivices, their pocket change, even Yolei's glasses, start sliding them closer and closer. "Everyone attack with all they got!!" Kari yells. "Yeah, before my glasses rip my head off!!" Yolei yells.

"Nature's Justice!!"

"Zudo Hailstorm!!"

"Vengence of Valhalla!!"

"Crash of Feathers!!"

"Seven Star Salvation!!"

"Divine Vindication!!"

"Ichiban Hi Roketto no Sora!!"

"Spiral Edge!!"

"Rock Cracking!!"

"Fujita 5!!"

"Heavenly Arbitration!!"

They fly, but then, with the speed of DaoGarurumon, evades many of them, and then stops the rest in time. "Holy crap!! He's got DaoGarurumon's time powers!!" Lewis exclaims. Iori, running up to the sliding Digmon, says, "I know how to break the magnetization!!" "How, Iori?" "If you de-digivolve, he can't magnetize you any more!!" "But wouldn't that leave us QUITE vulnerable?" "That's the beauty of it, Digmon!! Only you will you it. He'll single you out, breaking his concentration on the others, and maybe then de-magnetizing us." Digmon gets a look of anxiety. "If you say so." He de-digivolves to Armadillomon. "Why are we doing this again, Iori?" "Well, like I said, to single us out. That, and I want to prove that I can contribute too by breaking loose. This plan is doing just that." Daisuke looks over at Iori and Armadillomon. "They must be crazy!!" Sora says to him, "Or smart..." Armadillomon and Iori run around, yelling, "Hey over here, ya big dumb moron!!" Beelzebumon gets pissed. "You call me stupid!! DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!" He goes ballistic, as evil energy chaotically explodes all around. Iori and Armadillomon are blown apart. DieselSeraphimon is hit as de-digivolves to Angeaxlemon. Justin grabs his head and says, "10cc's of Morphene, stat!!" The ground collapses and they all fall into a pit. The digimon find they can move again and catch their respective Digidestined. ***Iori says, "Where's Armadillomon?" Suddenly, a blast of light can seen through the smoke, and an explosion is heard as Iori's D3 fires off toward the light. Suddenly, a figure like that of what Armadillomon though the Digiegg of Reliaility would make him Armor Digivolve to, but in yellow, a machine with exposed circuits, metal endoskeleton, and pistons showing in his abdomen area, wearing a tri-corner hat and an American flag as a cape, and has a cutlass and muzzle-loading rifle on his hip flies out and grabs him, then Sora. "Who are you?" Sora says. The digimon says with a voice like Big Guy, "I am Alcedesmon, the Terra level form of Armadillomon. Iori's willingness to break away and think on his own made me Terravolve." Iori goes, "Strange. I never thought your highest form would be a Machine type digimon." "Well, these things happen." He puts them down. "Now, I got to stop a raging demon." He runs out and leaps up. His hands slide into his wrists and targeting sights pop up.

"Industrial Revolution!!"

They shoot like Desperado Blaster, but a lot faster, and the ammo is MUCH larger. They just bounce off Beelzebumon. Beelzebumon roars in anger, and an evil aura blasts everyone away. Araiya laid on the ground with a broken arm, Sora a broken leg, Matt got both his shoulders dislocated, and poor Daisuke had nearly all his bones broke. "Am I the joke of the cosmos?" He says to himself. Lewis gets up, and wipes the blood from his mouth. "Hey, that was fun Alcedesmon!! How about you do it again, so the rest of us can break our bones!!" Suddenly, with a crazed look in his eyes, Beelzebumon draws his sword and strikes everyone hundreds of thousands of times at light speed. Kari achingly climbs up to her feet, just to see the horror unleashed. Slowly, their digimon fade into blackness. Kari says to herself. "We need a miracle...." Beelzebumon says to her, "Yes, you would need a miracle to save you from me!!" Kari tears up and screams, "We need a miracle... NOW!!" Suddenly, she is enveloped in a globe of light, as are the rest of the digidestined. Beelzebumon strikes down unto her, but finds his sword shattered upon contact. Light radiates to her hands, and in a flash, there nestled in her hands is the Golden Digiegg of Miracles. Daisuke says, "I don't think Magnamon would stand a chance against him, Kari." Kari, in an older voice, says, "Who said anything about Magnamon? I'm evening the score." Izzy goes, "It's like that time she was possessed by those Digi-Beings, but this time, she's talking. She's doing this on her own!!" Kari goes, "Quite observant, Izzy." With a gesture over the Golden Digiegg, the darkness goes away and some of the Digidestined wounds undone. "Now, Final Radiance.... UNLOCK!!" It flies from her hands into the center of the pit and from one of each of its eight sides, a crest glowed. The eight crests were Honor, Martyrdom, Liberty, Reliability, Tranquility, Redemption, and 2 sides had Innocence. The Digiegg split apart, and as it did, three gem flew out and landed in the hands of Jill, Lilymon, and Angeaxlemon. Lilymon's was green, Jill's was red, and Angeaxlemon's was blue. The egg fragments flew at their respective digimon.....

"Gabrielmon Miraculous Digivolve to... Tenshiijinmon!!"

"Archangewomon Miraculous Digivolve to... Serafinmon!!"

"PaladinImperialdramon Miraculous Digivolve to... Roninmon!!"

"NobleValkyrimon Miraculous Digivolve to... Odinmon!!"

"Alcedesmon Miraculous Digivolve to... Bannockburnmon!!"

FujitaOkuwamon Miraculous Digivolve to... Temujinmon!!"

"NeptuneZudomon Miraculous Digivolve to... HokkyokuZudomon!!"

"Neo HyperCenturiosapien Miraculous Digivolve to... Miraikuraisapien!!"

Then, the crystals, which were in fact a special type of Palacin crystal, reacted to the good in the holders.

"Lilymon Celestial Crystal Digivolve to..."

In a blinding she stands and spins ala Sailor Moon. The crystal flashes, and she is now wearing silver Gigidigizoid tube-top-like breastplate, her green gloves with white petals on the ends now, the crystal is on a gold necklace around her neck, her hair is still the same, and the pink petals on her head are now white. Double-tiered pink with green trim gigadigizoid rib plates extend down to her waist and 3 white plates descend to protect her abdomen area. Rods of silver Gigadigizoid metal knitted together to form petal shaped plates that connected to the belt area of her groin plate. From the areas the 'petals' did not guard, chain mail 'petal' equivalents dangled down over her theighs. Roots flew up onto her feet and made light green colored high heels on her feet. On her left arm, a silver with pink trim gigadigizoid armband protects her from her elbow to her wrist. On her right arm, a silver with pink edges tower shield straps onto her that arm. On her back, between her 4 wings, a sword scabbard connects to the armor, and she draws the long, narrow sword. Four silver beams shoot from each side of her head and extend behind her. She flies into the air and blocks the sunlight. The temporarily blinding flash of her moving in the sun's path gives way to her. Her green hair blows in the wind. Her English name scrolls in the bright background sideways and the Japanese name scrolls vertically up and down behind her.

"...PaladinLilymon!!"

"Rosemon Celestial Crystal Digivolve to..."

She starts in a similar fashion that of PaladinLilymon. In the flash, she comes out of it wearing white and red edged ancient Japanese robes and garments. Her rose petals are white, and the front one is higher up, and you an see her eyes now that it is out of the way. Two thick braids are on the sides of her head. Near the bottom, they are tied by a band so the individual hairs stay together in the braid. Pale pink silk ribbons go from each shoulder to her wrist and hang near the ground. On her feet are traditional Japanese sandals. On her middle finger is the crystal set in a silver ring. In the same hand, a stick of wood appears, and on each end, a silver chain comes out and another stick of wood forms on the ends of the chains. On the ends of those sections of wood, four spikes and a spearhead materialize. On her sash, a loop of cloth ties a scabbard to her and in it is a katana. On her sides, 5 silver beams of metal appear. She swings the nunchaku around masterfully, and then a storm of cherry blossoms fill the air as she takes the sword and draws it back behind her, and places the tip between her index and middle fingers and takes a stance spreading her legs apart, sorta defensive in the positioning. Her name scrolls into the background the same way.

"...WhiteRosemon!!"

"Angeaxlemon Celestial Crystal Digivolve to..."

He takes and pulls out his pistons and fuse them into one. His liquid metal skin absorbs the crystal, and turns him blue. His body takes on a form very similar to ThorXaviomon, minus the capes, theigh sections, upper arm sections, and the right forearm section. Those remain the same old humanoid look and lost their metallic gleam. The helmet flies off his head, and a helmet similar to Magnamon's slides on, except without the face plates. From the V-Plate, thinner, smaller duplicates flipped up, and they stopped upon reaching mouth level. A glass screen slides out, guarding his face. At the base of the glass, dual energy cannons appear. A special set of plates clamped around his waist, doubling his waist circumference. Brown silk ribbons hang from the bottom edges of these plates down to his ankles. Angel wings grew out his back, and he held the fused pistons in his hands, a spear of sorts, with one end a spike, and the other a cannon. He swings it around and takes a step back.

"...KiyorakaSeraphimon!!"

"Izzy, start your laptop up and get to work!!" Miyako yells. Izzy scans away. "Well, almost all of them are Demi-Omega. Apparently, the power of the Golden Digiegg has healed them and made digivolve up half a level. The angel man in the futuristic combat armor suit is Tenshiijinmon. His armor is built to withstand even heavy nuclear assault and radiation. It'd take a supernova to slag that can of beans. With his Kamikaze Crusader attack, those who oppose him will get a new one." He turns. "Next to him is Serafinmon, the Demi-Omega form of Archangewomon. She is armed to the teeth with miniguns, gatling rocket launchers, rocket launchers, automatic energy turrets, wrist mounted swords, energy gauntlets, silos in her shoulder plates, and a ballistic missile launcher on her back. When it's time for a Divine Cleansing, duck and cover!!" Kari asks, "Do you really need all those guns, Serafinmon?" "Uh..., yeah." She says to her. "It's about time I got to get trigger happy too, you know!!" Izzy looks with panic and worry, "Moving on. The one next to Serafinmon is HokkoyuZudomon. The Demi-Omega level of NeptuneZudomon, he is a translucent ice warrior god digimon. With Midnight Sun, he will bring sweet artic surrender to his foes." Izzy looks beside HokkyokuZudomon at a digimon with the face of PaladinImperialdramon, but the rest of him looks human and albino. "This is Roninmon. His massive red armor and samurai sandals protect him well in war. Beside him is the alien digimon Temujinmon, the Demi-Omega form of FujitaOkuwamon." He has purplish skin, a large cone shaped head, metallic eyes, no mouth or nose, tendrils hanging from where his bottom jaw WOULD be if he had one, buff pecs, four super long fingers on each hand, and legs like the aliens from the movie 'Independence Day' had. Izzy continues, "With all the genetic superiority and intellect he possesses, we can call him a 'Super Digimon.' His psychic powers could rip a Buick to pieces like it were wet toilet paper!! On his left is Odinmon, the Demi-Omega digimon form of NobleValkyrimon and thunder god digimon. His Ragnarok Thundercrash will make anyone a crispy sritter, and not to mention save Texas a LOT of money in power bills." Odinmon comments, "Whatever brings in the money." Izzy looks shocked. "You sure the power isn't going to their heads, Kari. These guys are weird!!" Roninmon says, "I heard that." Izzy goes, "Moving on. Sitting next to Iori is Bannockburnmon. He's like the android version of William Wallace, but this version actually DOES shoot lightning out his ass, unlike some of those other Highland legends claim!!" "I can't help it if I ate Yolei's 3-bean salad earlier." Bannockburnmon exclaims. Izzy anxiously says, "I'm just gonna hurry up now.... Well, at least someone that can't get any weirder. This here in this big silver powered armor suit is Lewis in humanity's final form, Miraikuraisapien." The armor he is wearing looks like a suit of Advanced Power Armor Mk. II from Fallout 2, but silver. His skin looks like metallic gold, and set in his forehead is a silver crystal. In his hand is a bar that is wrapped around his gauntlet. Hooked to his hip is a minigun with bayonnettes on all the barrels. Izzy continues, "In his hand is a morphable weapon, meaning any weapon he can think of, it's his!! Before you know it, his Eightfold Path will leave you in eight different pieces or more!! That completes all the ones that used the Golden Digiegg to power-up." Araiya says, "Well, then how did the other three digivolve?" Izzy hacks away. "They have the power of Palacin crystals running through them. Meet PaladinLilymon, a Demi-Terra digimon with the speed and finesse of a nymph, and the armor and power of a Paladin. In the beginning, there was light, and with her Gaia's Exoneration attack, she will light shine supreme again!! Also, her healing powers can regenerate most anything instantaneously." PaladinLilymon says to Izzy, "And I can dice up a mean salad too. Let's see a Salad Shooter top that!!" Izzy is now scared. Lewis looks at him and shrugs his shoulders. "What can I say? She's scared and envious of Salad Shooters." Izzy, wide eyed and shocked, presses on, "Her daughter Jill used one of these crystals and now is WhiteRosemon, a Demi-Omega Paladin Flower Nymph Digimon. Her skill with nunchaku and katanas is legendary and deadly. Better keep your distance from her." Jill comments, "I look like one of those Japanese Tea Maidens!!" Izzy hurriedly types away and says, "Finally, here is KiyorakaSeraphimon, another Demi-Omega digimon. Except for his blue skin, nothing is strange about him." Izzy closes his laptop quickly. "Is that all you're going to say on me?" KiyorakaSeraphimon says. Izzy says, "Sorry, but I haven't been anxious and terrified since my first day in the Digiworld!! You guys freak me out!!" Lewis says, "Oh well, shit happens, Izzy. Now, if you don't mind, we got a pissed off demon to slay." PaladinLilymon pats his shoulder and says, "Don't worry, you'll get used to us like you did before. No biggie." Tenshiijinmon flies past him and says, "I think he left his brain at 'Final Radiance Unlock.'" Joe looks at him and says, "For one someone is more terrified than me. I'm only worried about Beelzebumon making us grease stains on his heel." Izzy just stands there stuttering, "Who the... what the... how the.... K... k...k...k..ka...kari.... summoned...... g..g..g..golden digiegg!!" Kari says to him, "I'll explain it later. Right now, get to safety, Izzy!!" ThorXaviomon and HokkyokuZudomon shuttle the children topside. "Now stay here guys. ThorXaviomon is your last line of defense until we can Mr. Narcolepsy over there awake." He jumps back into the pit. Justin says, "Mind telling me what a 'Golden Digiegg' is?"

In the pit, HokkyokuZudomon drop kicks as he enters the pit. Beelzebumon slams into the side. He gets up and uses his newfound speed to atack, but Lewis just grabs him in mid-step and throws him over his shoulder. "If that didn't give me a hernia, nothing will!!" Beelzebumon says, "You may shiny new exteriors and new bods, but I am still an Omega, and I can crush you all!!"

"Axe of Mephistophiles!!"

Temujinmon just shakes head no. He extends his arms to his sides and bends over slightly.

"Psionic Cannon!!"

Bolts of energy shoot from his head at the axe. The attacks blows the axe to pieces. In the rain of wood splinters, Roninmon says, "Let's make it... HOT!!" He links his two katanas together at the handles and spins them.

"Red Cherry Blaze!!"

The flame blew flaming splinters up at him and then he got lucky enough to hit Beelzebumon's chest wound before the attack resolved. "I don't think he's had enough." Roninmon says. He takes out his sickle on a chain and starts spinning around.

"Spark of Creation!!"

The sickle becomes electrified as it glows white. He strikes Beelzebumon continuously in his leg. The combined lightning and life powers put him in agony. PaladinLilymon flies past. "Hey, we want some action too, Roninmon!!" She starts glowing white as she circles him, throwing seeds as she ascends. The light around her becomes a pillar.

"Gaia's Exoneration!!"

Light shoots up all around Beelzebumon, and the vines from the seeds on him bind him down. Giant vines shoot up from the ground and wrap him up in a sphere of vegetation. It rises up higher and higher, and then, 10,000 feet up, it explodes in a nova of holiness. Lewis flies up and grabs the plunging Beelzebumon by the pinky finger and slams into the pit. Joe says, "I don't mind them kicking butt, but all these earthquakes they're causing are making me nauseous. *BBAAARRRRFFFFFF!!!!*" He vomits on the ground. Beelzebumon, still in shock from that 10,000 foot freefall piledriver, is not ready for what awaits him. HokkyokuZudomon jabs his double-headed spear into his foot.

"Vostok Pike!!"

"You're on ice." His feet were frozen to the ground. Odinmon bounds off HokkyokuZudomon and balls up.

"Asgard Annihilator!!"

Electrons in the air, frayed power lines, and the electromagnetic field over Earth are tapped for electricity. It all converges in Odinmon and then uncurls and lets it out in one gargantuan bolt. The sheer force nearly rips him from his legs. He screams so loud... Then Tenshiijinmon gazes to the stars and says, "That sounds like it hurts. It's time to take you medicine!!" A pillar of yellow surrounds him as he hovers above Beelzebumon.

"Polaris Gold!!"

A blast of light eminating from the North Star shoots down and follows Tenshiijinmon's pillar down onto Beelzebumon. When it hits him, a major explosion lets loose. Serafinmon says, "The treatment isn't working doctor. We'll have to sedate him!!" Compartments on her armor open, and guns pop up on her forearms, chest, hips, wrists, and shoulders. Her shoulder plates open to reveal in each plate 60 little cluster missiles.

"Divine Cleansing!!"

The missiles fire, the gatling and regular rocket launchers blaze, the energy cannons blasted, and the miniguns burst, and the background went white as rockets flew up and shells and whole clips littered the area and the sky. What armor he had left is dust, and he is bleeding all over. "How can this be!!" He grabs a pitchfork.

"Diablo...."

Before he can finish, Temujinmon goes, "Uh..., no."

"Martian Maelstrom!!"

Unnatural winds and giant boulders crush him against the pit wall. Lewis flies into the storm. "Now, become one with the storm...." He closes his eyes for a second, and then opes them. He flies through it like it didn't exist.

"Eightfold Path!!"

He breaks the speed of light and karate chops and kicks the arm Beelzebumon is holding the pitchfork with repeatedly. Beelzebumon laughs at Lewis, but when his arm EXPLODES he changes his tune. "About time!!" Lewis exclaims. "I'm not licked yet!!"

"Gaze of Malevolence!!"

Everyone is sent flying by the blast of evil from his eyes. The edge of the pit crumbles and the children are back down in the pit. KiyorakaSeraphimon charges him.

"Seraphi Hurricane!!"

He spins and spins, and wind and light gather around. He shoots right into Beelzebumon spinning, and cuts his foot up good.

"Sin Storm!!"

KiyorakaSeraphimon is smacked into the pit wall with such force it knocks him out and reverts him to Revmon. Everyone else except Roninmon is kneeling in pain. Roninmon smirks and a white aura glows over him. "That tickled, Beelzebumon."

"Final Justice!!"

Light beams spun and revolved all over Roninmon. Then he brought them together with a gesture from his hands, bringing his hands closer and closer until they met in a fist. Then he telepathically summoned his swords to his hands, grabbed them, spread his hands apart, and then clashed his swords together. A cone of energy exploded in Beelzebumon's direction. When the light cleared, everyone stood in shock at how Beelzebumon still stood very alive. "Even with this new power, he's tough!!" Serafinmon says. Lewis adds, "Say, with all those wounds, shouldn't he have bled to death by now?" Serafinmon says, "I guess not. Besides, I never heard of a digimon ever bleeding to death before." Lewis goes, "Well, there went my plan." Daisuke comments, "Which was?" "Well, I was hoping we could wait him out and he'd just bleed on us until anemia set in and kill him for us, but Miss Gun Store with Wings just told that won't work." Daisuke says, "What's anemia?" Lewis looks at him and sarcastically remarks, "So Izzy is right. You ARE the stupid one of the group!! Well, not as stupid as Ariaya, but a close second." Araiya and Daisuke start swinging at him, but he just grabs their foreheads and holds them at arm's lenght, the two swinging in vain at Lewis. He teleports, and they run into each other, and butt heads. Iori goes, "Finally, someone not afraid to tell Daisuke the truth." Miyako goes, "Oooohhhh.... BURN!!" Lewis pops up next to Iori and says, "I REALLY like you kid. Here's $200." He slips him the money. Izzy goes, "Well, if you four are done dissing one another, I say in we can continuously assault Beelzebumon, we can hold him at bay until we can wake Avalonmon." Lewis doesn't even comment. He just turns and pulls out the minigun. "Meet my little friend!!"

"Standing Onslaught!!"

He pushes the trigger, and four additional sets of barrels appeared on a circular track around the main set of barrels. The main set of barrels spin, and the secondary barrels spin while they themselves spun around the main barrel on the track. The spinning force started a gale force wind in front of it. The winds picked up, and flashes of light, almost strobe-like, flashed from the barrels. Jill yells, "Join in!!"

"Sakura Blade!!"

Cherry blossoms swirl around her sword and it starts glowing. A blade of light explodes around the katana. She swipes at Beelzebumon, and the cheery blossoms blowing along side the blade dice into Beelzebumon, grow vines that squeeze into him and poison him, then explode. Serafinmon kneels and bends down.

"Serafin Tomahawk!!"

Part of her armor comes off and clamps slide in to grab it. It takes on a missile shape. Her shoulder plates open and she looks at Beelzebumon with her targeting monocle. Everything switches to a 3D computer graphic scene, and a laser sight on the monocle activates. You can see targeting crosshairs move over Beelzebumon as the scene pans around. Suddenly, the crooshair become one on Beelzebumon and turn red and flash. Serafinmon creates a pink aura around her and then the giant missile fires her back, surrounded by 120 mini cluster missiles. They all hit with deadly precision. Tenshiijinmon takes the offensive. He flies behind him.

"Kamikaze Crusader!!"

He suicide charges Beelzebumon with sword drawn. He starts flipping, and with the blade in front, makes him like a buzzsaw. He goes all around, cleaving across his skin, and where cut, light beamed out. Temujinmon is ready.

"Io Laser!!"

He pools energy from the stars and moons into his palms, then fires DBZ style at Beelzebumon. Along with the other attacks still in progress, it inflicts much pain. As he is doing this, he psychically lifts boulders and uses them to pulvurize his knees and shins. Roninmon is up.

"Red Cherry Blaze!!"

Now Odinmon is prepared.

"Valkyrie Fire!!"

Clouds form in the sky, and raindrops of molten lava and fire rain down on Beelzebumon. After a few seconds, he ignites on fire. HokkyokuZudomon says, "I think he needs a cool-off!!"

"Midnight Sun!!"

Artic winds blow, and an eerie glow of dawn fills the area. The light starts basting him, and smoke starts coming out of his chest wound. Iori says, "Bannockburnmon, show him what you're made of!!" Bannockburn takes up position.

"Highlander Thunderclap!!"

Lightning streams over him like rainwater, eminating from all his orifices. He raises his arms up, and a lightning bolt strikes him. He falls over and smashes his fists into the ground. Explosions of thunder and lightning occur all around him as the energy surges all around him in a circular path through the ground. The dirt flying up from the ground shrouds him from sight, and the agony brings Beelzebumon to his knees. The remaining digimon gave what help they can.

"Ragnarok Missile!!"

"Circle of Roses!!"

"Crash of Feathers!!"

PaladinLilymon went over to Avalonmon and Tai. "Get up, you two!! We could use your help." They don't respond. Suddenly, Tai grabs her by her left arm and starts rambling about being tired, then falls back over. She sits him up. "Tai, you have to get up. Avalonmon too!!" Then, she feels that his pulse is slowing. "They're right. All the energy you're transferring to Avalonmon is killing you. If I don't do something fast, you're both dead!!" She stands back. A green aura overcomes her.

"Gaia's Exoneration!!"

Tai and Avalonmon are encased in flowers and they glow the same green aura. Just then, Beelzebumon gets up and a tower of fire encircles him, resolving all the attacks. Lewis, now up to his neck in used bullet casings, says, "Why did we stop? I was just having... *Ptttuie!!* ...Stupid bullet casings. Fun!!" Beelzebumon gets a demonic glare in his eyes. "If I can't beat you, then I'll take you with me!!"

"Dark Light!!"

He gathers evil darkness before him. "Maybe we can use this against him!!" Temujinmon telepathically communicates. Bannockburn says, "Here goes nothing!!"

"Hikari no Inverness!!"

Streams of quintessence pour from his cybernetic parts. They fill the area, and then laser beams shoot up into the sky from the mystical mist. Lewis attacks next. He takes out the morphable weapon and it turns into a gun 100 times bigger than him with every possible weapon ever concieved on it, and some no one ever dare dream of. "That's a big damn gun you got there." Beelzebumon says anxiously, staring at the size of it and staring down all those barrels and missiles. "Lewis goes, "I know. I call it... THE BIG DAMN GUN!!"

"Harmonious Harbinger!!"

He fires onto Beelzebumon mercilessly. He starts falling back toward Tai and Avalonmon. PaladinLilymon flies up to intercept.

"Mana Burst!!"

A sphere of green light surrounded her, and then he shot forth that sphere. Little mini-spheres circled it and it hit him. His back looked like that footage of Baghdad getting bombed in Desert Storm. The force was enough to push him back up. Temujinmon psychically calls out, "Time to get rid of this thing!!"

"Spatial Folding!!"

Space bends, and the attack is relocated far above them. Beelzebumon is furious. A black aura glows over him.

"Sin Storm!!"

The attack levels them all. Everyone is laying there cut and bloodied up. "Now to finish you off, once and for all!! Huh?!"

"Lumin Sky!!"

From out of nowhere, a sphere of white light forms in the sky, and two beams of light, one above glowing into space and one below glowing down to the ground, emerge. They sweep around the sphere until they return to their original positions, and then two more, one in front going as far as can be seen, and the other behind going out as far as its counterpart, also sweep the area. When they finish, they each split in two and fly off away from the sphere, growing wider as they distanced, and then the sphere blew up. When the light cleared, TK yelled in shock, "It's Avalonmon!!" Beelzebumon in holding his chest, his skin burnt black and smoldering.

"Glowing Edge!!"

He sends Excalibur into the overcooked meat and hurt him bad. Beelzebumon, waining, goes, "I... I... I... I will cr... crush you!!"

"Sin Storm!!"

It hits Avalonmon and the others, and everyone is hurt a great deal. "Persistant little bugger, isn't he?!" Lewis exclaims. Beelzebumon looks about, and can't see Avalonmon. "I did it. I destroyed him. I DESTROYED AVALONMO.... What?" Standing in the gaping hole is Avalonmon. Avalonmon says, "Now I cast ye to Hell, demon!!"

"Light of Avalon!!"

He unleashes the attack right there, and just the sword throwing split his chest in half. The light flowed through him and it glowed out every orifice on Beelzebumon. The ravenous light dragons ripped away at him, and then Avalonmon slices down into Beelzebumon. Lewis grabs Araiya and puts her in front of him and gets with his back to a wall. "Hey, put me dow...." Just then, the light explodes, and Beelzebumon's meat, muscles, insides, and blood exploded forth too. The mess splattered the pit walls, and everyone except Lewis was soaked in entrails. He drops Araiya and says, "Remember, when you fight giant demons, the first thing you must know is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!! Now, what did we learn Araiya?" She runs at him, but only meets wall. "I think he broke my nose!!" She yells, holding her nose. Temujinmon says, "Lets get out of here." He then gets everyone out of the pit. Izzy goes, "Well, I guess we should heal so we go fight Obliviomon now." Everyone nods. Avalonmon uses his Salve of Eternity, and it starts to heal everyone, when a giant skeleton climbs out of the pit. Tai, now at least strong enough to sit up, screams, "Why won't you die!!" Beelzebumon is laughing as he lands on the other side of the pit. Iori goes, "How many times must we beat him?" Kari says, "Don't worry. He will soon no longer bother us." Beelzebumon says, "What's that supposed to mean, little girl?" Just then, he turns around to see the chunk of land Obliviomon blew into the sky, and irradited with holy power by Mimi, coming straight down at him. "Oh, this is going to hurt...." The meteor hits him, and holy light explodes out as the meteor crashes and fills the pit. Beelzebumon is incinerated into digidust. Lewis walks over to the crater and goes, "1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10...!! You're out!! And the winner is, by default, us!!" Iori goes, "He's finally dead...." Serafinmon yells at the crater, "Now stay that way!!"

Just then, Obliviomon hurls Sovereignmon and Mimi at the group. "Ah, you're all in one little group now. This makes my job so much easier!!"

"Wave of Annihilation!!"

It hits, and everyone goes sliding, with the Omegas taking the brunt. "You may of destroyed Beelzebumon, but I am 1000 times more powerful he could ever be. Bow to me!!" He warps gravity, forcing everyone to their knees. Kari though, seems to be immune. "What?! Even the Omega digimon bow to me, and a puny girl resists me!!" Kari looks at him and says, "I survived your onslaught once and lost, but I'll be damned if I let you destroy this world twice!!" Pink light shoots down, and the gravity field is destroyed. Obliviomon retaliates and strikes down the other digimon. All the digimon that used the Golden Digiegg to reach the Demi-Omega level reverted to their baby levels. TK and the others run out to get their digimon. "Poyomon!!" "Pururumon!!" "Chicomon!!" "Leafmon!!" "Pichimon!!" "Tsubumon!!" "Yukimibotamon!!" The Golden Digiegg is visible. Obliviomon goes, "Time to smash your play toy!!"

"Absolute War!!"

He shoots and vaporizes the Golden Digiegg. The group goes on another ride, but are stopped by another pulse of light from Kari. They slowly descend and safely land. Leafmon looks at her. "Queen... Kari?" The other babies started to chant that phrase. The Omegas were re-vitalized, and after flying off, a dome of light covered the Digidestined. Obliviomon goes, "What's going on here!!" TK touches Kari's shoulder. "It's like in those sewers four years ago. She is so filled with light that she can actually utilize the light to protect us!!" Izzy looks at her glowing and says, "Prodigious! I wish I was there to witness.... Oh wait, I was there!! I just forgot." Mimi charges out at him. "We're tired of your type ruining everyone's lives!!"

"Saber of Light!!"

She slashes and runs him through. Sovereignmon comes from his side. "It's beings like you who make us sick!!"

"Starlight Rebellion!!"

She hits him too. He doesn't seem to flinch much. "Sick. So I make you sick.... Well I just can't hover here and not do my job, now can I!!"

"Absolute Pestilence!!"

The beam hits Sovereignmon and she becomes violently ill and wounded. Obliviomon turns and hits Avalonmon, but the slime just ricochets off his behemoth armor. "You are one I failed to anticipate such defense from. I must neutralize this threat!!" He opens a black hole near Avalonmon and he slowed by the time dilation effects the high gravity has, along with the others. He charges Avalonmon unphased by the time warp and pummels him severely. Avalonmon very slowly moves to attack.

"Pen.... Drag... on... Bl..... aze!!"

The attack moves so slow that Obliviomon just stands there and when it gets within 18 inches of him, he just sidesteps it and it is sucked into a singularity. "This is too easy!!" Obliviomon laughs.

"Wave of Annihilation!!"

The attack hits Sovereignmon and Avalonmon repeatly since they move so slowly falling back. Obliviomon says, "Where the hell is that damn wench!!" Then, from behind him, Mimi strikes him and the flow of time is restored. Mimi charges with sword glowing then spins and she leaps into the air.

"Naiad Edge!!"

She spins while soaring through the air, sword extended. Upon her descent, she slams Obliviomon and throws him into the ground. Seven glowing gashes scar his black rib cage. "Fiesty, energetic.... You must have a sugar rush. A little ABSOLUTE PESTILENCE should cure that!!" He fires his Famine Cannon at her and scores a direct hit. She starts losing body mass as the chaotic forces rapidly consume her.

"Phoenix Rising!!"

Sovereignmon knocks the cannon away from Obliviomon. "Stay back, or you'll have to deal with me!!" Sovereignmon commands. Obliviomon just smirks and charges her. Sovereignmon bicycle kicks him then plants her double spear into the ground.

"Celestial Cyclone!!"

It starts to blow him back and cause smoke to pour off him, but he regroups.

"Fires of Apocalyse!!"

Lava eruptions blow Sovereignmon into the sky, and then the evil energy batters her, and she falls to the ground, parts of her on fire. Avalonmon rushes Obliviomon.

"Thrust of the Divine!!"

His sword gleams with holy energy as he runs Obliviomon through. As he thrusts the sword into him, time seems to stop, and from the eerie pitch black sky comes a column of light at an angle an incinerates Obliviomon as the camera pans around Avalonmon and Obliviomon frozen there in 3D CG. Time suddenly resumes and Oblivimon detonates into a fury of white flames. The near void around starts to fade. Mimi gets up and says, "Is it over?" But just as she asked, the flames go black and the void returns stronger than ever. "Your weak attempts make me laugh. I have a universe to purge, starting with this planet!!" He flies up and raises his arms into the sky.

"Omega Crusher!!"

He sends blasts of energy worldwide. The blasts zoom off at unbelievable speeds. Everything switches to a space view to show where they hit. The first two crash in Mongolia and the Gobi Desert, making the whole area a burning wasteland. The shockwave created a sandstorm with winds of over 3000 MPH. Two more hit Europe and obliterates France and Southwestern Germany, making them into toxic cesspools, and poisoning the Meditteranian Sea. The whole Black Forest ignites in minutes. The shockwave makes tsunamis large enough to submerge Dover, England. Another one hits the Balkans and leaves nothing but a radioactive crater of the once Yugoslav region. Two more crash in the Himalayas and make Everest and K2 go up in mushroom clouds. The surrounding mountains shatter and explode. The people of Northern India, Nepal, and Southwest China are being crushed by giant dark boulders raining down from that ground. Another hits the Ganges and the river bursts into flames turns most of it into a resevoir. Another strikes the North Korea-China border and levels the area, and makes Korea an island. Another hits eastern Iowa and it is almost literally vaporized, and waters from the Great Lakes pour in the uninhabitable hellhole and vile toxic substances infest the whole Great Lakes area. Chicago is heavily damaged by what rock that survived the blast. Cities west of Chicago were crushed or annihilated. One more hits the Yucatan Pennisula and makes the remnants into an island. The rain forests outside the explosion radius sponateously combust and explode into flames and create the world's largest forest fire. The sky over Central America is blocked out by smoke in minutes. 200 MPH winds nearly blow the Omega digimon to there feet.

Inside the dome of light, Kari begins to fall to her knees. "Getting so... tired..." Tai falls over, shortly followed by Sora. Izzy says, "This fight is killing them!! We got to end it soon or we'll lose both of them!!" Just then, they see Obliviomon shoot down Absolute Death on the Omegas, sending them also too easily into the ground. PaladinLilymon and Jill say, "ThorXaviomon, you guard the kids. We'll get Skeletor's attention long enough for the Omegas to regroup and fight back. Lewis grabs PaladinLilymon's hand and says, "Please, don't do it. A have a bad feeling this won't work." PaladinLilymon says, "I know this seems wrong and it seems to be to a kamikaze mission, but deep in your heart, you know it's right." Lewis nods and kisses her. He turns to Jill. "Be careful up there. I want you back for Christmas dinner." Jill says, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I am your daughter, so I'm bound to come up with a killer last second hail mary plan." They fly out of the dome and Lewis wipes away a tear. "Children, they grow up so fast these days."

Outside, Jill attacks.

"Sakura Blade!!"

Obliviomon meets the blade of light and exploding cherry blossoms with a negative power beam from his hands. "Here, have some cherries!!" Obliviomon laughs as Jill succumbs to her own attack hurting her, then getting hit by the force beam. From behind Obliviomon is stunned and unable to move.

"Genesis Sword!!"

PaladinLilymon slashes him again in his back, then jabs into him, the life energy tainting the oblivion. She puts her sword away and slams her forearms and wrists together and cups her hands. White energy pours from the petals on her gloves and her hands and glows in front of her hands.

"Palatial Flower Cannon!!"

Her gloves glowed and the white ball formed, then a flash of light from her gloves and she was shooting a beam of intensified light and living essence from her palms (Quite DBZish, isn't it?). It hits him, pushing him. The blast continues for another 5 seconds before she stops. Obliviomon suddenly turns at her. "You amuse me, Flower Nymph. If I'm right, you're the same one who vaporized one of the original Overlords. Doesn't it make you jealous that you were the one originally meant to be First Terra, but your so-called friend got that power instead. Does it gnaw away at you? Does the fact that you gave up an opportunity at one of the greatest powers ever to save a mere child?" PaladinLilymon looks and ponders, "I don't know. Maybe he's right. Maybe I have resented that loss, but look at all that came from Mimi becoming the First Terra in my stead." She thinks of Jill, Holly, Kate, and Angel, and then of Lewis. Obliviomon says, "You are MINE!!" PaladinLilymon relunctantly says "Yes...." and then hovers in a catatonic state, but then hears Lewis yell, "He's trying to confuse, keyword: TRYING!! That means you can beat this!!" As soon as Lewis finishes, Avalonmon flies up and hits Obliviomon from below, and PaladinLilymon snaps out her catatonic state. "NO, I AM NOT YOURS, NOR WILL I EVER!!!" PaladinLilymon says, flying by, slashing Obliviomon's left arm. The force and power severs the arm, making him drop the Death Cannon he was fixing to use. A horrid black slime bubbles from inside his rib cage and replaces the arm. Obliviomon turns and fires.

"Absolute War!!"

The blast hits Jill, Avalonmon, and PaladinLilymon. Avalonmon is able to recover before crashing into the ground, but PaladinLilymon reverts to Lilymon, and Jill reverts to Rosemon and fall unconsciously towards the ground. Lewis runs out of the safety of the light to catch the falling nymphs. Araiya, seeing this, and seeing the others' hands full with their own digimon that she gets up. "Aw, hell. I may not like him, but that's no excuse to let his daughter and wife to fall to the ground and them maybe dying." She runs out. "I'm coming too, Lewis!!" Then, the two crests glow in unisom. They both notice that they won't make it, and then, the truly impossible happens. Space-Time itself bends and the whole universe seems to pivot using them as foci. Gravity and time shifts, and they are miraculously there with them already in their arms and then back under the shelter of light. Lewis, confused himself, asks, "What just happened?" Kari, weak from shielding them, mutters, "You two, for a split-second, managed to put your differences beside and work together. You created Nirvana, oneness with the universe." Lewis says holding Lilymon, "But it won't matter soon if we can't stop Obliviomon!!" Araiya looks at the Omega digimon, and Lewis catches this. "For once Araiya, we agree." Araiya yells, "Converge all your strenght onto the Omegas!! Put all your rivalries and hates aside and work together!!" Lewis stares blankly and responds, "What she said!!" ThorXaviomon dedigivolved down to Andromon and all they all focused. The colored lights of their crests converged into one and then flew to the Omega digimon and Mimi. Mimi looks into it and can see the people of Earth. "I promised that no more will suffer at your hand, and I will do just that. I never though of me or any of my friends to be the world-saving types, but we have a duty. Now, we must finish it!!" She grabs the sphere, as does Avalonmon and Sovereignmon. A white radiance glows over them, and the Crest of Life symbols on them turn white. Avalonmon goes, "Helmet Engage!!" His helmet comes back on, and then he also warps at Obliviomon. A white comet forms in the sky.

"Merlin's Comet!!"

The comet zooms at Avalonmon, and Avalonmon turns and rams it, shattering it into many pieces. The essence of the comet glows over him as he loops over Obliviomon's head and crashes into his back as the meteors hit his front. But the attack isn't over. The ring made from Avalonmon's flight, and the leftover essence from the comet snared his arms. It starts spinning and ripping him apart like a buzzsaw. Mimi gets up and attacks.

"Celestial Rose!!"

The rose hits him, and the ring of light holds him in place. Obliviomon goes, "You are better than I thought, but it is time unleash the big guns!!"

"Chaos & Nothingness!!"

The gravity well rips the light away, and blasts Avalonmon continuously. He turns to Mimi. "The world ends today, shame you won't get to witness it!!"

"Omega Crusher!!"

He throws the sphere and sends her airborne. Sovereignmon then swoops in before he can attack again and tackles him. They grapple, when he warps time and deals her 2000 very painful palm strikes to her gut, then lifts her up by her neck, growing in size and weakening Sovereignmon in the process. Obliviomon utters to her, "In the end, there is nothing but the inevitable silence and chaos!!" Daisuke looks out and says to Lewis and Araiya, "Well, even after giving our strenght to them, they're still are losing. What's with that?" Matt says, "You gotta faith that they can do it." Then, Mimi gets up with the white aura glowing bright. Obliviomon says to Sovereignmon, "Now, to get rid of you..., by choke-slamming you to Hell!!" He flies to choke-slam her when a seed hits him and creates a blast spreading out over half of Texas. Mimi stands holding a seed in her hand. "Nobody choke-slams my friends, and no one destroys our world!!"

"Seeds of the Divine!!"

She hurls another one at him, but he opens a black hole and sucks it away. Sovereignmon hits him from his side with her lance and the wound makes him fall to his knees. Avalonmon flies supersonically at him.

"Light of Avalon!!"

The force and speed knock Obliviomon down. Pus-like marrow oozed from the broken ribs. Obliviomon lays there and moans, "You... you... you wounded me!! Impossible." Mimi says to him, "And now, to make you never harm another soul... DEVOUT PHOENIX!!" As before, she flies into the sky. As he levitates up and sets up to attack her comrades, she impales Obliviomon on Gaiamune. She continues flying with Obliviomon hanging on her sword and dragging the ground, smoldering from the holiness and life force he is emersed in. He says to her, "I see that you truly do wish to end me, but I will not go without taking someone with me, and I choose you!!"

"Atomic Oblivion!!"

He grabs her head and an evil mist drapes over her, trying to break down her celluar bonds. She swings the sword and flings him off, but her shoulders, feet, neck, and the left side of her forehead were bleeding heavily. She puts her hand under the shoulder plates and grips her left shoulder, since it is bleeding the worst, and it burns a great deal when she grips it. Sovereignmon flies up. "Are you okay, Mimi?" Sovereignmon asks. Mimi just responds with, "I'll be okay." Sovereignmon nods and flies. "Hey, Obliviomon!! This is for trying to choke-slam me!!"

"Phoenix Rising!!"

She hits him and blasts him in half, but he seems to fuse together, but he is holding himself in pain. "This one is for Mimi!!"

"Starlight Rebellion!!"

Obliviomon futily tries blocking the onslaught, but is swept away by the fury. "This is for the people of Paris and all those you have killed!!"

"Lance of Liberation!!"

She shatters more ribs as she jabs the lance into him. This forces Obliviomon to his knees. Sovereignmon says, "I believe it's over." Obliviomon looks at her and smirks. "Oh, yes it is." Suddenly, he starts growing and growing. Kari says, "This is how it ended last time. This cannot happen a second time." She lowers the dome and sends her energy to the Omegas. Kari yells, "Combine your energy, and you should be able to stop him!!" Obliviomon grows to such proportions that only part of his face blocked the whole sky. "HOW INSIGNIFICANT THIS SOLAR SYSTEM IS!! IT CLUTTERS MY OBLIVION!! IT MUST BE DESTROYED!!" Avalonmon strikes.

"Light of Avalon!!"

Nothing, not a scratch, well, at least not a visible scratch. Obliviomon still felt it, and in retaliation, smacks Avalonmon back to Earth like a gnat. "I am your god, and I shall PROVE it!!" He raises his hands up.

"ALPHA & OMEGA!!"

As he charges up, Mimi yells, "We must band together!!" Avalonmon says, "I concur!!" Sovereignmon yells, "Let's make the universe safe for all life!!" Suddenly, this power and knowledge swept over them. The other crests glow in unisom with the three Crests of Life. Then, as energy pooled around the Omegas, something incredible happened. Space-Time shifted again, and now, to the left of the Omegas was what looked like their past selves, with Mimi in her old pink dress and fully human, and Agumon and Biyomon with her holding hands, and to the left of that was a very young Mimi with Koromon and Yokomon, and to the left of that is a 2 year old version of Mimi with Botamon and Nyokimon. To their right, they look the same, and to the right of that was them again, and to the right of that was them again, but they wore none of their armor. Instead, a fourth angelic girl wore what seemed to be a combination of all their armor. This phenomenon wasn't limited to the Omegas. The Digidestined could look to their lefts and see 3 past versions of themselves and their digimon, and on the right, except for Kari, 3 more versions of them. She only sees two and a glowing being. Lewis says, "I think they're power has somehow temporarily fused the past, present, and I guess the future into one point in space-time." Izzy adds, "Or split it apart like a prism breaks down light!!" Izzy looks, and sees seven different versions of themselves, and the center being the present. Iori says, "Strange, looking at our future selves, I can't see any age marks. They must not be from far into the future." Miyako goes over to Lewis's futuremost self and sees he is wearing a watch. "Wrong, Iori. According to this, these last ones of us are from 2046!!" Lewis says, "The other odd thing is, is that all our future selves all have hair matching the color of our crests. Weird?!" Matt exclaims, "Look at these faint figures next to our futuremost selves." They look like more children. TK takes Kari's camera and takes pictures of the area. While all this was occuring, Obliviomon looks down and says, "What's going on?" He sees Earth and all the planets blur into seven. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if there are a million Earths, I'll destroy them all, then everything else!!" His hands begin descending. The earth quakes as his hands near. Just then, Mimi, Avalonmon, and Sovereignmon shout at once, "NOW!!" and then, everything spun. To Obliviomon's point of view, the whole universe just spun around, when in reality, only he and the orbits of the planets moved. Obliviomon completely misses and now Earth is behind him. "Where are you, First Terra?" He turns to see Earth behind him. He smirks and says, "You are so very like your ancestors. Did you know that, First Terra? I have a distinct sence of.... dejavu, the same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light." Mimi responds, "What is it you have faith in?" For which he answers, "Nothing. I am so absolutely... empty." Mimi says, staring into the life force gathered in front of her and the other Omegas, "Then it won't hurt you to die. Will it?" Energy pours from the other digidestined and the past and future selves into that pool. Obliviomon, with a look of defiance, but also fear, says back, "I cannot die. I am forever. I am a GOD!!" Mimi, Avalonmon, and Sovereignmon hold hands in a triangle formation and pool their power into the motherload. Then they all look at Obliviomon with a look of hope and call forth,

"OMEGA TRIAD!!"

The mass of life turns into a beam which eminates in the middle of them. It hits Obliviomon dead on. Obliviomon shouts out, "What have you done!!" All three of them say in unisom, "We have faith in the light!!" The beam, seering away at Obliviomon, causing marrow to rupture all over, he still resists. He screams, "WHAT!!" Avalonmon looks at him and says, "The Light, demon, the Light!!" The void is snuffed, and the fires in him glow white. The Triad closes their eyes, and a pulse starts up the beam. They all say simultaneously, "End game, demon!!" Obliviomon, staring down the pulse, wails, "NO!! I cannot die!! I am forever!! I am a GOD!!" Life and holy light blazes from every orifice on him. Sovereignmon says, "You wanted nothingness, well here it is." Mimi concludes, "Welcome to Oblivion." The pulse nears, and Obliviomon can feel his strenght leaving. He is covered in his own marrow and darkness, and then he manages one last word, "Amen." The pulse hits, and all his blackness vanishes, and explosions of light and life rip through him. Then, as the pulse ends, one massive explosion rips Obliviomon to pieces, and many more shatter him. His remnants go white and shatter like fine china and drift away into space or the atmosphere and cease to exist. Everything returned to normal, and all the time anamolies ended. The shockwave came by Earth, and smashed into the surface. Life energy galore surged through it, and the digidestined, and the area, was bathed in it. The sky returned to normal, showing a cloudy sky at sunset. All their injuries were gone, and Tai and Sora awoke from near death. Tai says, "Wh.... wh... what'd we miss?" Sovereignmon dedigivolved to Patriotaviamon, the Nexus flying back into Sora's hands, then back to her infant level of Nyokimon. Avalonmon dedigivolved to Paladingreymon so that the Powe Nexus could disengage, then back to Botamon. Mimi looked around and saw the lush greenery and fields of flowers that had blossomed up in the once thriving metropolis. Joe pulls out his portable TV and it shows reports of ecological disasters worldwide and hundreds of millions dead. Mimi says, "How could he... There is nothing I can do for the people, but maybe I can clean his mess so future generations will not have to live in a toxic wasteland. Mimi knelt down, and with her greatest feat of strenght, channeled all her might into the Earth. Tai said, "Stop it, you're going to kill yourself using so muh power. Finally, Mimi went back to Gaiasapia, then to Dryadsapia and passed out after sending life energy into the planet for 4 straight minutes. Snow starts to fall. Just then, the Earth starts to glow, and all the toxic waters beome clean, all the sandstorms end. Heavy rains quench the fires and the glowing force restores the wounded trees, the Ganges is purified and ceases to burn, and then the rest of the energy glimmering throughout the planet eliminates all our pollution and radioactive waste. Tropical rains hit many deserts and make them into tropical wonderlands and grasslands with many lakes. In fact, by some mysterious means, a giant sequoia tree starts to grow the northernmost penninsula of Antarctica. New life have been breathed into the Earth. On the TV, Dan Rather is in shock at the news. "The Ganges is now clean. Sources say that can even see the bottom of the riverbed. Toxic wastelands become fertile lands miraculously in the devastated Balkans, and the Medditeranean Sea is now 100% clean and clear. France, Germany, India, Bosnia, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, North Korea, Nepal, India, China, and the United States are now assessing the damage and loss of life." Matt asks, "It is really over this time?" Mimi awakens and responds, "Yes it is." Tai goes, "Obliviomon?" Mimi answers tiredly, "Deleted, permanently." Miyako then says, "Does anyone know what happened to his four cannons? I remember seeing him drop them, but now they're gone." Iori adds, "Also, didn't have a vial? I remember he used a dark vial to recharge those nexuses, but he never used the whole contents. It's gone too!!" Lewis says, "Maybe they were destroyed by the Omega Triad?" Izzy adds, "Or in the quakes and attacks the Omega digimon used. Remember, they have powerful attacks, and maybe in the maylay, they were vaporized." Lewis says, "I guess it doesn't matter now. They're gone, so that means we'll never have to see that ugly skeletal form again hounding us and using them on us." Lilymon turns Lewis's attention to where the center of Houston once stood, now a thickly forested valley surrounded by a small plateau which they were standing on. "What about the millions who lived here? We made them homeless, Lewis." Lewis looks up and gets an idea. Tai says, "Let's go." Just as they start to leave, Holly, looking in the piling snow sees a golden oval-shaped amulet with a crystal and the Crest of Sincerity engraved on it. Holly picks it up, and looks at it. "Everyone I know has their crests. Maybe it belongs to someone else. I'll just keep it until I find the owner." She thinks. She pockets the amulet and catches up with the rest. In the distance, a dark figure holding the vial looks at her malignantly then turns around and vanishes into the shadows and darkness.

At a press conference in Washington, Lewis stands before a map of Nevada. On it, much of Southeastern Nevada is circled and labeled 'The Neo Houston Project.' He is wearing a silver tux and a black armband on his left arm. "Today we mourn with the world the loss of some 120 million innocent people on December 24th, 2004 AD, but we also elebrate the defeat of either worlds' greatest foe, NeoApocalymon, or he came to be, Obliviomon. After this holiday season has concluded and memorial services have concluded, we must then turn our attention to the now millions of homeless people of Houston. During our battle, we totally obliterated Houston, and then it became a forested valley. It would be wrong and costly to cut all those new trees down, so I propose that we release control of governmet owned lands in much of southeastern Nevada to construct a new modern Megaopolis I call 'Neo Houston.' Buying land would be almost unnecessary since we already own these lands, and if we employ the citizens to help in construction, I'm sure we can have it established by 2010, if Congress is willing to work with me on these plans. Thank you and good night." Cameras starts flashing and people ask questions. Lewis just turns and says, "It's the holdiays. Go home, people. Go home to your families." And he leaves.

He reaches the main dining hall and as he enters, he sees his reflection, and sees he has quite a few silver hairs. "Impossible!! I'm 23, and I'm going grey?" He enters to find the goose isn't completely cooked. Lilymon says to him, "It looks more silvery, and it makes you look distinguished." The rest of the Digidestined are there with their families, and all of them are wearing very formal clothing, and a black armband on their left arms. He picks Daisuke up out his seat. His hair strangely had bands of fuschia in it. "No, this is my seat, goggle boy." Daisuke goes to a seat to Jun. "Hey, I'm the leader. I should sit at the end!!" He mumbles. Jun goes, "Well, he is the President, and we are his guests. Oh, he is so dreamy, but he's no Matt!!" She looks over at Matt. Matt goes very unemotionally and blandly, "Sory Jun, I'm in a relationship." You could see blue hairs in the blonde. Lewis looks at him and says, "I can't believe he wore the goggles..." He sits at the end of th table with Lilymon. She is wearing a white dress with a slit down her right leg and white high heels. For a change, she was not wearing her gloves at all. All the guys except Iori and Daisuke wore black tuxes. Iori was in a special silk komono and Daisuke is wearing what looks like a cheesy lime colored $99 rental tux. All the girls were in evening dresses. Sora's and Miyako's dresses were red, Yolei's dress is yellow, Kari's dress is pink, Araiya's dress is teal, and Mimi's dress is a green sequin dress. Miyako, her hair showing red sections, asks, "Where'd you get that?" Iori says, "My father got this when he was young. My grandfather suggested I should wear it." His grandfather slides his glass over to Armadillomon. "I don't think they'd mind that I smuggled some prune juice in here." He pulls out a whiskey flask and chugs it down. Armadillomon takes a sip of Grandpa's glass and gets a disgusted look on his face. "Hey, Grandpa, toss some of that prune juice over here too!!" Armadillomon says. "Okay, but stop calling me Grandpa, ya whatcha-ma-call-it. It's disturbing." Tosses him a thing of prune juice. Miyako and Yolei's parents say, "So this is where all our food has been going." Miyako and Yolei say simultaneously, "Yup, the bottomless abysses otherwise called the stomach of an In-Training digimon." while watching Poromon and Hawkmon devour the salad appetizer. Her mom says to her, "Strange, I never noticed these yellow hairs you seem to have now. Have you been dying your hair?" Yolei says, "No. In fact, I have no where they came from. I just woke up with them today." Araiya says, her hair now mysteriously teal colored, "Well Lewis, where's the goose?" Lewis mutters, "I'll cook your teal little goose if don't stop asking that." Holly and Jill come in with the goose. Lewis gets up and says, "Before we eat, a moment of silence for all the innocent people and digimon slaughtered by the Overlords of Chaos." They all nod their heads in solemn respect for all those lost. 5 minutes later, they raise their heads and sit. Just before they can eat, Agent Vicks brings in two middle-aged hippie looking people. "These two were caught outside of Silicon Valley driving a 34-year old Army Jeep repainted in tye-dye. The FBI had them in custody and arrested them just a couple of nights ago, but Kari told me you'd want to see them personally. Said they are a case which you'd want to get involved in." Kari walks up to the male hippie. He says, "I guess you did it. You did save the world, and you saved us too." Kari goes, "If it wasn't for your help Manny, I'd never get back here to the present, save those Lunar Digieggs from the government, warn the others, and I would have never helped save the worlds." The female says, "Whoa..., where'd you get the pink hair?" Kari says, "Like Gatomon, I had my experiences in getting my hair dyed, but now I don't think it wants to come out." Lewis asks, "I remember my dad's name being Manny...." Kari turns and says, "These are your parents, Lewis. Manny, and Moonglow Wick." Agent Vicks says, "They're now being held on charges of treason and grand theft, and many other charges stemming all the way back to 1970." Kari says to Lewis, "I was there with them. I saw it. We were fired on by the United States Air Force. All because we found Area 51." Lewis says, "Area 51? I haven't seen it before. I have heard the rumors though." Kari says, "Well, there WAS an Area 51, before we had to level it to keep the US from finding out about the Digiworld and using the digimon against the then Soviet Union, so we could preserve the future." Gatomon goes, "Yeah, and that evil Gerard was there too. He knew all about us and was ready to use Bahamutmon on the the Soviets." Lewis looks at Vicks. "Release them. Tell the FBI that I plan to launch my own personal probe into the matter following New Years." Manny and Moonglow sit down with them. "No wonder I don't remember where I lived as a child. We were always on the run from the police, and then you gave me up for adoption. I can see why now." Manny says, "So, I'm I like, a grandfather or something. I mean, Kari said I had granddaughters." Lewis speaks, "Hey, Jill, Holly, come here. Bring Kate and Angel with you!! Meet your grandparents!!" Tentomon says, "Oh, moments like these are so happy. I wish I had a video camera to record it all!!" Joe says, "Don't worry, I'm geting it all." Bukamon asks, "Didn't they say something about no cameras out front?" Joe goes, "Well, sue me."

After dinner, Kari pulls out her digital camera. Everyone gathers, and she has Daisuke set up the camera. Agent Wedge says, "Something else we'll probably have to confiscate." Lewis elbows him and says, "Shut up. Obviously, they're not gonna steal government secrets. I told you three, stop being tightwads." Daisuke sets it up. "Now, let me get there!!" He runs, but trips three-quarters of the way there and it takes a picture of him falling and everyone else in the background. "Let me try that again." He resets it and runs over to his spot safely. Araiya, standing next to Lewis, says, "You're standing on my foot, Lewis." "I am not." "You're lying. Get your foot off mine." "Bite me, doughgirl." Araiya gets in his face. "It's on now!!" She punches him. As she punched him, the camera took the picture. Lewis gets up. "Oh, I'm gonna kick your ass, b***h!!" He starts pulling on her long hair and headbutts her. Everyone is in shock. Kari says, "And I was hoping to make this picture into a Christmas Card. Now I got to choose between Daisuke falling or Araiya decking Lewis. Daisuke says, "Hey, Araiya!! I got some beef with him too!!" He runs at him and jumps on Lewis's back, flailing away. Lilymon goes over to break it up. "Stop it you...." They both miss Lewis and hit Lilymon. She is stunned, but nothing else. She grabs Daisuke by the goggles and drags him away and smacks him. "Stop it!! This is the holiday season. This is no time for a bar room brawl." Daisuke says, "But those two...." Lilymon says *sweatdrop*, "Well, that was inevitable. Like Matt has said before to you, "Just let them fight it out of each other." Iori says, "As much as I hate watching these two fight, I guess it can't be helped." As the fight roared on, Lewis rolled over near Iori and said, "I'm placing $1000 on myself. Go on!! Take bets!!" Araiya roundhouses him and throws him a 100, saying, "$100 on myself in the second round!!" Iori shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, he asked me to. Place your bets!! The Fight of the Century!! Place your Bets now!! Odds favor Lewis at 3:1, and Miss Jitzato, newcomer to the ring, has a meager 22:3 odds. If you don't believe me, call Vegas!!" Miyako says, "I knew I should of made that pay-per-view deal with Don King!! $50 on Lewis!!" The camera slowly pans away from the White House, showing silhouttes of Lewis and Araiya rumbling. A window breaks as Lewis is thrown through one outside. The song, 'I'll be Home for Christmas' plays in the background as it snows.

This heralds the end to First Terra, but don't fret. A new story awaits......

Bloodline: Descendants of the Digidestined

Coming soon, hopefully. It continues First Terra 41 years after it left off, with new Digidestined, some even the grandchildren of the Digidestined themselves!! Coming soon!!

- Lewis Wick, "You were born naked, and you die naked."
