Ok, by now everyone that has read this series should know all the fun stuff that comes at the start. All the boring legalize stuff I have to rattle on about each time I put out a chapter. Well heres the old spill, I don't own Digimon, or any part of the various books or manga's that have appeared over the years, the company Toei does.

This work is entirely a piece of fan fiction and the characters created by me and my wife are our property and copy written by us.

And of course this story is for the mature adults, is not for anyone under the age of 18. (40 if I had my way about it).. LOL..

Authors Note: This chapter has some darker parts in it than any of the previous chapters, there is death (not in yiff), violence , character death, and a whole score of adult situations. On to the story...

The Silver Renamon Series

Chapter 10 Part 2:

The Battle for Life or Death: The Showdown

By Wolf421

&

Lady Shandi

At Unit #2 main gate:

Devon starred in shock as the unknown digimon destroyed BomberNanimon with a single attack. And felt Kithira's uneasiness.

"What's wrong Kithira." Devon asked Kithira

"That is what's wrong. Mike and my daughter, by the gods, dark digivolved into Dark Sakuymon. And now if they attack us we may have to destroy them. They are now no longer on our side, not exactly anyway." Answered Kithira with both fear and regret in her voice.

"What are you talking about! That's Kassy and Mike we can't destroy them! They are our friends!-" began Devon out loud but was quickly silenced my Kithira.

"You are still young and naive, about a great many things concerning the darker side of the digimon world. Your mother did you a disservice by overly protecting you from it-- NO!" Kithira admonished Devon gently then was suddenly was being held up by her neck by the Dark Sakuymon.

"You think you can stop us? You are either with us or against us! We will destroy Anxerxes. If you get in our way you fall with him. But as I recall you have the same goals as we do. So I believe we should get going before we are discovered. I don't relish the idea of facing Anxerxes weak as a kit because of a few of Anxerxes minions decided to get annoying." Said Dark Sakuymon coldly before putting Kithira down and heading inside, giving Devon and Kithira no choice but to follow with worried hearts and a lot of misgivings.

In the digital world.

"Damn! I forgot what it's like to come here." Said Lisa picking herself up from the ground with Cole's help.

"Yeah the ride is ok, it's just the landings that suck" Said Dax dropping down from the boulder he landed on.

"It could be worse, we could have landed in a lake. Is everyone alright?" Asked Achilles walking up with Deb on his arm.

"We're ok, Lisa just got surprised by the abrupt landing thats all. I on the other hand am used to it." Replied Cole shrugging his shoulders as he dusted himself off.

"Same here." Said Rayne dropping off the same boulder behind Dax.

"Good, let me get a fix on the gateway for unit #2 and we'll head out." Said Dax pulling out his D-arc and hitting the scan button.

"Well at least the sky hasn't changed much since the last time I was here." Commented Lisa looking up at the multi colored sky overhead.

"On this layer, all the digimon are fortunate. Other layers are nothing more than dead lands devoid of all life anymore, this on going war between the digimon has taken it's toll on the digital world in many ways." Said Cole his tone sad but hardened from the years of fighting.

"Well at least now we know of who's behind all of this we just have to get into unit #2." Said Deb looking at Cole.

"Ok, I got a trace on the gateway, it's that way about two miles and down about thirty feet." Said Dax pointing in the direction of the gateway.

"Then lets move, theres no telling how it's going for the others in the real world about now." Said Lisa heading the way he pointed.

"Everyone keep eyes and ears open, Anxerxes might have left some guarding the gateway." Cautioned Cole as they started walking.

"True but if they did, then they'll be in a world of hurt when the other team shows up along with us." Replied Rayne taking a quick glance over a boulder.

"Enough chatter, lets get the job done." Dax said advancing down the canyon.

Meanwhile inside the gates of unit #2

Beelzemon watches as BomberNanimon was deleted by Dark Sakuymon's attack, and then her picking up the Kyubimon. Some words are said but he is unable to hear them from this distance. Shortly Dark Sakuymon lets the Kyubimon go and they turn toward the gate walking his way.

"Oh Shit! I think the boss can handle this himself." Said Beelzemon looking up at the Cherrymon gathered inside the courtyard.

"You stay and fight like the rest of us or I'll load your data myself!" Replied the Cherrymon in the lead of the other five Cherrymon.

"Load your own data! I'm not sticking around to fight a dark digimon! Even with your help! I'm out of here!" Said Beelzemon climbing on his motorcycle and burning rubber toward the open gate.

"Coward!" Shouts one of the Cherrymon as Beelzemon speeds off.

Outside the gate Beelzemon power slides to a stop in front of the two Kyubimon and Dark Sakuymon.

Dark Sakuymon holds up her right hand as it starts to glow.

"Hold it! My fights not with you! I'm leaving! I just came here to find my tamer!" Shouts Beelzemon hoping for mercy.

"Then leave already, or I'll load your data also!" Replies Dark Sakuymon her hand not wavering.

"I'm going, right now." Said Beelzemon revving the throttle and swerving around them heading into the city.

As Beelzemon goes past them Dark Sakuymon turns her hand following him till he's out of sight obscured by the smoke of the fires in the area around unit #2.

"Why did you let him go?" Asked Devon.

"Why not, he's not the one I'm after. His boss is the one I want." Replied Dark Sakuymon as she continued toward the gate.

"It does make sense, I imagine many of Anxerxes followers where promised their wildest dreams if they flocked to his call." Said Kithira.

"It explains how he was able to get an army of digimon to follow him." Replied Devon flanking behind and to the right of Dark Sakuymon as Kithira did on the other side.

Stopping short of the gate Dark Sakuymon pulls her hands together in front of her and they begin glowing with power.

"Whats she doing?" Thinks Devon as he watches the sphere of energy grow in her hands.

"Tsunami Force!" Shouts Dark Sakuymon pushing the sphere of energy towards the gates.

When the sphere gets three feet away from her it spreads outward in a cone of bright energy toward the gate. When it hits, the gate and some of the wall on ether side of the gate disappears in the explosion. Pieces of the gate and wall hurtle into the courtyard catching the gathered Cherrymon off guard.

"Knock Knock!" Shouts Dark Sakuymon as she charges into the court yard with Kithira and Devon on her heels.

All the Cherrymon look dazed from the blast as the trio run in.

The two groups stare at each other for a second before the loud speaker on the wall forces them to act.

"What are you Cherrymon waiting for? Attack them!" Shouted Anxerxes over the loud speaker.

"I got left!" Shouts Kithira moving left.

"Thats one hell of a knock! I got right!" Replies Devon moving to the right.

"And I'll gladly take the middle." Said Dark Sakuymon as she pulls out a wicked looking spear. (see Sakuymon's spear from season three but black with blood red runes etched into the length of the spear.)

"CHERRYMON'S ATTACK!" Shouts the Cherrymon in the center.

In seconds cherrybombs start flying through the air at the trio.

"Talisman Sphere!" Shouts Dark Sakuymon as the cherrybombs fly toward her and bounce off the sphere to explode harmlessly away from her as she walks forward toward the Cherrymon that gave the order to attack.

"Foxtail Inferno!" Shouts Kithira hitting the nearest Cherrymon to her.

"Oh, Stop! That tickles!" Shouts the Cherrymon that Kithira attacked.

"Were in trouble, these Cherrymon are stronger than they look!" Kithira hollers.

On the other side of the court yard Devon swings wide right and then pours on the speed with Kithira's shout. Diving in between the formation of cherrymon's Devon swipes claws at a cherrymon as he passes and skids to a stop in the middle of them.

"Armor Spike attack!" Shouts Devon loudly.

All over his body the spikes sticking out of his armor detach and fly in all directions, some hitting the cherrymon's. As the spikes strike the cherrymon, Devon smiles almost evilly as the toxin coated spikes embed themselves into the cherrymon around him.

"Them spikes hurt! Try this for size!" Said a voice behind Devon just before one of the cherrymon's roots wrap around one Devon's rear legs and lifts him off the ground.

"Fuck! That ain't all I got shit head!" Shouts Devon as the cherrymon grabs his forelegs with it's branches.

"Give up and I'll let him live!" Shouts the cherrymon toward Kithira and Dark Sakuymon.

"Not going to happen!" Replies Dark Sakuymon stepping closer to the line of cherrymon.

"Whats wrong with me? I don't feel so good." Says one of the cherrymon just before toppling over.

Devon watches as the one holding him leaves start to turn brown and fall off.

"What! My leaves are falling off, what did you do to me?" Asks the cherrymon holding Devon as his branches start to wither up.

"Oh, I thought you knew. My spikes are poisoned!" Replied Devon as he flex's his muscles and breaks free.

Two more cherrymon topple over falling prey to Devon's poisoned spikes.

"Enough toying around!" says Kithira as she jumps into the air.

"Dragon Wheel! She shouts as she rises into the air and begins spinning end over end surrounded by cold blue flames. The front of the flames take on the appearance of a dragons head and flames spew forth from it's mouth enveloping the nearest cherrymon setting it on fire.

"I'm burning! I'm burning!" Shouts the cherrymon as it runs around before falling over it's data scattering on the winds.

The cherrymon that had Devon topples over backward as his trunk withered. And as his data started to scatter Devon draws it into himself and his armor shines even brighter.

"Thats what I was thinking Kithira! Enough toying around!" Said Dark Sakuymon looking at the last two cherrymon standing in front of her.

The two cherrymon look at each other before charging her.

"If thats the way you want it. Dark Spirit attack!" Her voice rising to a shout as she unleashes one of her stronger attacks.

The cherrymon had no chance to avoid the attack as it surrounds them and breaks the binds of their code and releases their data for her load.

"Well thats eight down and how many left to go before we get to Anxerxes?" Devon asked walking over to Kithira.

"I don't care how many of them are left, I just want Anxerxes! You hear me! Anxerxes I'm out here! Now come out and face me like a digimon and quit hiding like a scared rookie!" Shouted Dark Sakuymon looking up at one of the many security cameras in the courtyard.

Inside the security room Anxerxes watches the monitor of the court yard and listens to Dark Sakuymon's speech.

"We'll see little dark digimon, we'll see. Faerthan! Get every digimon into the courtyard and capture these three alive! I want to destroy them myself!" Said Anxerxes.

"I'll see that it's done at once, most evil of digimon." Replied Faerthan as he ran for the door.

"Faerthan, stop trying to kiss my ass and do what you're told! Or I'll find another to take your place! Now go!" Said Anxerxes as he back to watching the monitors.

Faerthan scurries out of the security room quickly, shuddering with the thought of his data being loaded by Anxerxes.

In the corner sergent Davis typed a message on his phone and hit the send button.

Back in the digital world.

"How much farther is this gateway?" Asked Lisa as she stepped around another boulder on the floor of the canyon followed by Cole.

"Not far now, we should be almost there." Replied Dax from the lead.

"Good, I wonder how the others are doing back in the real world. To be honest I'm worried about them." Said Lisa.

"Well if they did like we planed out they should have Anxerxes to busy to worry about the gateway room, which will make our job a lot easier in the long run." Said Rayne from on top of a boulder.

"I just hope the teams from Hypnos show up like chief St. John said they would. Otherwise this is going to be one hell of a cluster fuck when we get into unit #2 through the gateway." Said Dax as he stepped around the last bend in the canyon.

"Halt! Hypnos agents identify yourselves!" Shouted a male voice from around the bend.

"Agent Dax with Agents Deb, Lisa and our digimon partners" Said Dax from the lead.

"Good, chief St. John told us to wait for you all before we went through the gateway. I'm agent Jennings and this is my partner Sam." Said Jennings.

"Is the gateway secure enough for us to go though?" Asked Lisa with Cole in tow.

"The two digimon that Anxerxes left here gave up without a fight almost half an hour ago." Replied agent Jennings with a smile.

"Well I can guess they didn't want to fight 18 digimon and 18 humans at once. Kind of bad odds 36 to 2, now thats what I call a long shot. Guess it's a good thing we're not in Vegas." Deb said jokingly.

"Well heres the inmate list of unit #2 as of last night." Said agent Jennings handing a paper to Dax.

Dax looked it over before handing it off to Deb and Lisa to look at.

"Not much there, which is a surprise for this time of year." Said Dax.

"Thats because Hypnos moved the real bad digimon to a new location up in Alaska last month. Unit #2 was to be closed in two months with all the inmates ether sent back to the digital world or moved to other units. And it's a good thing the real bad ones weren't at the unit with this Anxerxes taking it over last night." Said agent Jennings.

"Then we are looking at maybe 30 to 40 digimon following Anxerxes, 50 at the most but probably less." Said Lisa.

"If it's less then we don't have anything to worry about. Both these teams are battle tested and been together for some time. They know what to do when the time comes." Replied agent Jennings.

"We're ready whenever you are agent Jennings." Said Dax with Rayne by his side.

"Then lets get this party started! Assault team one your up. Team two through four as soon as they clear the pad your up fifteen seconds behind them. You all can join up with team five and six when they are up. Remember everyone clear the pad as soon as your there! If don't want anyone landing on you that is." Said agent Jennings.

"Sorry, we'll be going with the first team, not waiting around for the fifth team." Replied Lisa looking up at Cole.

"I have my orders from the chief, you all are to let us go first and then come after we have the gate room secure." Said agent Jennings.

"Listen my son and his partner are right now attacking unit #2 from the city. I understand the chief's orders but I'm not waiting! And nether is Alpha team which my sons partner belongs to. Come on lets get this done so we can go home." Said Cole stepping around agent Jennings with Lisa, Dax, Deb, Rayne, Achilles following him.

"Alright get on the pad with team one, but it's your asses on the line if the chief jumps my ass." Said agent Jennings as they stepped on the pad.

"Pad activation in 3, 2, 1, transport!" Said the team member operating the gateway.

The cement walls of the gateway room inside of unit #2 snapped into existence around them. Before Lisa or Cole had a chance to move team one had cleared the pad and was engaged with the two digimon guards by the door.

"Clear the pad next teams coming!" Dax warned moving off the pad followed by Rayne and the others.

Seconds later.

"Thats two digimon out of the way, hallways clear." Said one of the members of team one.

"Cole, take out that security camera quickly!" Lisa pointing up in the corner of the room.

"On it." Replied Cole leaping over the gateway control pedestal and knocking the camera off the wall with a well placed paw.

Teams two through four appeared on the pad and quickly cleared it to make room for the last two teams to come through the gateway.

"Hypnos control, gateway room is under our control. Teams heading to their primary objectives now. Status report in ten minutes." Said agent Jennings as he hand signaled the team leaders to move out.

As the teams moved out into the hall way team four popped the cover off of the air vent on the wall and climbed in. The leader of team six opened the control pedestal for the gateway and flipped the main circuit breaker to the off position, then closed the panel.

"Team six guard this room! Alpha team your with me!" Said agent Jennings before he walked out the door.

In the security office.

Sergent Davis watched as the first of the teams appeared in the gateway room, then the camera went black as a big paw hit it. Smiling he watched as Anxerxes left the security room.

"Let the battle begin." Thought Sergent Davis as he opened a hatch on the floor next to him and dropped through it. The hatch closing behind him as he landed on the floor of emergency tunnel. Gaining his feet, he quickly walks down the tunnel.

"Head for the safe room, get some gear from the armory there and then team up with those units that just came in through the gateway." Thought Sergent Davis to himself as he opened one security door and kept moving.

Elsewhere in the unit.

Team three in pairs entered containment wing one.

"By the numbers people, check all the cells and cages. Curly, you and Joe guard the door, Eve and Max upper level, Griff and Patton main floor while Joker and I check the control room. Sweep and secure the wing, squawk me when you're finished." Said agent Young into the sub dermal microphone to his radio.

Two minutes later team three is back where they started at the door to the wing.

"I just don't get it, all the cells and cages are empty." Said Eve as agent Young came out of the control room followed by Joker his digimon partner.

"What's not to get, Anxerxes has recruited them into his army or loaded their data. That or one of the other digimon with him." Said agent Young.

"Well if thats the case then our job got a lot easier." Replied Eve as she glanced out the door of the wing.

"Lets continue our sweep." Said agent Young motioning with his hand for the unit to move out the door.

"Team four, all sections clear. Escape route beta is a 'GO' Moving to secondary objectives." Came the voice of team fours leader over the radio.

"Understood, all teams report." Replied agent Jennings as his team along with unit 2 and alpha proceeded down one of the many maintenance corridors.

"Team three continuing sweep, nothing so far." Replied agent Young into his microphone.

"Team five in position and holding, Sir you are not going to believe whats going on in the main courtyard." Said team fives team leader.

"What have you got?" Asked agent Jennings over the radio.

"Sir, I got visual on two Kyubimon and one unknown digimon standing there as approximately 30 digimon surround them. Looks like a show down of some sort." Replied team fives leader.

"Team Two! Check the armory and safe room! All other teams converge on the courtyard! Do not engage unless attacked." Agent Jennings said into his microphone before looking back at the rest of his team and alpha.

"Looks like we found what we came for! Lets move people!" Agent Jennings said before opening a door into the main corridor of the unit and rushing through.

A few paces back Lisa looked up at Cole with a knowing look on her face.

"There still alive, that gives us a chance to win." Said Cole as he looked down at her.

Not saying a thing Lisa pulls out her D-arc and deck of modify cards and begins to run after Agent Jennings. Behind her the others follow suit and prepare their D-arc's and decks of cards also.

In the courtyard.

Kassy, Devon and Kithira stand back to back as Anxerxes forces surround them.

"Looks like we have a nice mix here, I see from rookies to ultimate. At least theres no mega's, if there was I would start worrying." Said Devon in a whisper to Kithira.

"Don't forget love, any of these may become mega's or even be mega's hiding their true form from us." Replied Kithira as she felt Kassy move into a better position behind her.

"Well look what we have here. The one digimon in this world I hate more than any other." Said Anxerxes from the catwalk over head.

Kithira looked at Devon then Dark Sakuymon then up at Anxerxes.

"It's over Anxerxes! Order your forces to stand down, Now!" Shouted Kithira.

"Oh, you're so very wrong on that point. The way I see it, it's you that needs to give up. We have thirty five of us against the three of you." Replied Anxerxes smiling.

"I see your time in the mental ward didn't improve your disposition, nor your looks." Replied Kithira.

"And I see your still the trying to be the head bitch for Hypnos." Said Anxerxes as he walked along the catwalk.

"ANXERXES! Shut your mouth you scum sucking bastard!" Shouted Devon as he took a step forward.

"Ohh, the puppy is mad. Sorry but I didn't catch your name, not that it matters." Said Anxerxes, feigning being afraid.

"Devon! Let me handle this!" Said Kithira stepping in front of Devon and pushing him back a step or two.

"Oh, like you handled getting me kicked out of Hypnos years ago. But that wasn't enough for you, or Hypnos oh no. You and them had me committed to a mental hospital! Which I suffered in for years before the doctors let me out. And don't even get me started on your partner, the major kiss ass that he was. It felt good to shove my blade into his back and twist it just like he did to me years ago. And shortly it will be your turn!" Ranted Anxerxes looking down at the three of them.

"That's if I don't destroy you first!" Growled Kassy from behind Devon and Kithira.

"And whom would you be dark digimon? And why are you siding with these losers? I thought a dark one such as you would be on my side." Asked Anxerxes looking at Kassy.

"You really don't recognize me, well I'm the vixmon you left alive while my father died in a pool of his own blood. With your blade as you put it sticking out of his back." Kassy replied, her features moving to a mask of rage with the memory of Daryl dying in front of her.

"So, you are Kithira and Daryl's pup. Knew I should have killed you then but Xerxes told me to leave you be. (chuckling) So here we are, it's really ironic. Years ago I suffered under your mother and fathers training and criticism. In revenge I killed him in the digital world but missed killing Kithira. But who are you?" Anxerxes asked pointing at Devon.

"I'm your worst nightmare, you twisted bastard. I'm Daryl's younger brother Devon Thackry and Kithira's mate and partner! And I will hunt you in both worlds until his death is avenged." Replied Devon his voice taking on a sinister tone to it.

"What! Me fear a pup like you, your really can't be serious? â€" Anxerxes laughed at Devon before continuing. â€" Besides you are a hybrid like me, why not join with me and we'll take Hypnos down once and for all! They'll do you like they did to me, cast me aside like yesterdays trash." Said Anxerxes as he pushed a unsuspecting digimon off the catwalk to fall to the ground in front of them.

The digimon quickly regained it's feet and ran over to a stair case to rejoin the others on the catwalk above them.

"What happens after the battle is done and my brother is avenged I care not. Alive or dead your not leaving here as long as I have something to say about it. Now come on Anton, lets end this banter and end this here and now!" Devon responded his voice almost a shout when he finished.

On the catwalk Anxerxes held onto the railing so tight that the metal rail started to bend in his hands. His body twitched with anger, his face a mask of rage from Devon's words. Faerthan to a step away from Anxerxes wary of his master lashing out at him in anger.

"Faerthan! Call the Greymon back from destroying the city! Now everyone destroy this loud mouth pup and the other one and bring his bitch to me alive!" Shouted Anxerxes.

In the guard tower.

Team five's leader watches the scene unfolding below him.

"Ah, Shit! This is fixing to get real ugly and real quick. Mark you and Kira keep an eye out for them Greymon. Steph, you and Cobra take the left side of the catwalk to the other tower. Billie you and Goof are backup in case this gets as ugly as I think it will." He said to his team before keying his sub dermal microphone.

"Team Five to lead, Looks like it's about to get ugly down there! Do we have a green light!" He said into the sub dermal microphone.

"Lead to all teams, position report!" Said Agent Jennings as they reached the main doors to the courtyard.

"Team Two, we just reached the armory and found one of the guards gearing up. Said he was the one that called command. What should I do with him?" Asked the leader of team two.

"Team three, in position and holding by the guards entrance." Came the voice of team three's leader over the ear bud speaker.

"Team four, at south courtyard entrance and holding." Responded a voice in his ear.

"Lead to team five. If he's up to it take him along. We can always use another set of hands. Team One is in position with Alpha by the main doors into the courtyard. Hold until I have Alpha identify the friendlies in the courtyard." Responded Agent Jennings as he looked to Lisa.

Lisa moves over to the small window in the door and looks through the window. She motions for Cole to take a look and steps aside for him.

"Agent Jennings, tell your teams that the two Kyubimon and the one with them right now are friendly, all others are hostile." Said Cole moving away from the door.

"Lead to all teams! We have confirmation, friendlies in courtyard are two kyubimon and the one standing behind them. We go on my count!" Said Agent Jennings into the microphone.

"Five to lead! Hostiles on the ground! Heading your way! Ah, Shit! Lead it's going ugly, do we have a green light?" Asked team fives leader.

"Green light! Hostiles only!" Said Agent Jennings just before he kicked the double doors open into the courtyard And ran out followed by his team and the rest of alpha team.

In the courtyard seconds before.

"What are you Mon's waiting for? Attack!" Shouted Faerthan at the gathered digimon on the catwalk.

"Ok, they want a fight of it. Lets give them one! Dragon Helix!" Shouted Dark Sakuymon from behind Devon and Kithira, sending an attack at Faerthan.

Faerthan dives behind a mummymon before Dark Sakuymon's attack can hit him, the mummymon isn't fast enough to dodge and takes her attack full on. The mummymon's data explodes outward as the attack deletes him. Faerthan sees this, quickly gets up and runs down the catwalk.

"Master! Save Me!" Shouts Faerthan running away.

"Kill them or I'll delete you!" Shouts Anxerxes as he forms a glowing ball of energy in the palm each of his hands.

Some of the digimon hearing this jump down into the courtyard and form a half circle around Kithira, Devon and Dark Sakuymon. Some stand their ground and prepare to attack. Eleven of the ones on the ground run for the gate instead of attacking as ordered. Devon starts to chase them but is held by Dark Sakuymon's hand on his shoulder.

"Let the cowards go, Hypnos can round them up later." Said Dark Sakuymon her blood red eyes watching the ones in front of them.

"Cowards! I'll load your data for this betrayal!" Shouts Anxerxes before throwing the balls of power from his hands at the trio below him.

"Oh no you don't! Talisman spell!" Shouts Dark Sakuymon as she sees Anxerxes attack coming and knocks aside Devon before the attack can land. Her shield spell turns aside Anxerxes attack and it flies off to hit the courtyard wall blasting a hole into the concrete.

As Anxerxes's attack is deflected away, all around the courtyard, agents of Hypnos with their partner digimon storm into the courtyard.

"ATTACK!" Shouts a Apemon seeing the intruders fires of his strongest attack at the nearest of them.

Chaos ensues with the arrival of Hypnos C&C teams. Multiple fights breakout at once all over the courtyard. Some of the gathered digimon seeing the Hypnos teams scatter, many dive for open doorways back into the unit, others run for the gate. While some attack instead of running away.

Lisa, quickly slides a card through her D-arc as she runs out the door way following Agent Jennings and his partner Sam.

"Greymons Armor, activate!" Shouts Lisa as a blast spirals in toward Cole from the catwalk above him.

Cole holds up the shield one handed and deflects the blast skyward.

"Talisman Star!" Shouts Cole as he throws out his right hand sending hundreds of red colored stars at the digimon above them.

Some digimon fall under his attack, others dodge it and some bat it away like an annoying fly.

Sam, Jennings digimon puts a quick end to the digimon that was outside of the door. And digivolves as he loads the defeated digimons data. Cole looks over at the newly evolved digimon quickly and nods.

"Look out!" Cole hollers at Sam as a digimon jumps off of the catwalk aiming for Sam's back.

Sam Spins left and unleashes his new attack Lightning Blade catching the diving digimon in midair. The digimon lands on the ground literally beside it's self, in two pieces as it's data starts to scatter.

Rayne leaps into the air as she exits the doorway and is almost immediately attacked by a dark angewomon. Rayne dodges left and gets some distance from the dark angewomon. They circle each other looking for an opening to attack the other. From below them a ball of energy flies between them blocking their view of the other for a second. Taking the chance Rayne dives below the ball looking for her opponent and ends up face to face with her enemy.

"Lift your spirits!" Rayne shouts as she does a back flip kicking her opponent square in the face with both feet sending her falling toward the courtyard below.

The dark Angewomon recovers twenty feet above the ground.

"Ok bitch! Take this! Hell's curse!" She shouts releasing an attack against Rayne.

"Rayne drop! Power of the Digigods activate!" Shouts Dax from the ground.

Rayne follows Dax's command as the power of the card flows into her.

"Celestial Arrow!" Rayne shouts as the light of digivolution glows around her.

Her arrow flies true hitting the dark angewomon in the chest with almost no effect at first.

"Was that supposed to hurt?' Shouts the dark angewomon from bellow.

"SHATTER! DIGIVOLUTION ACTIVATE!" shouts Rayne as she can't hold back the power of the card forcing her to evolve to her next level.

Below the dark angewomon smirks just before a bright light comes from under her armor.

"Whats going on!" she shouts, worry in her voice as the light begins to spread to other parts of her armor.

The smirk on her face turns to fear as cracks begin to appear in her armor and the along her arms and legs.

"No it can't be! I refuse to die like thi-" is all she gets out before her body shatters into thousands of pieces before her data scatters on the wind.

Up in the air the glowing form of Rayne changes as the digivolution transforms her body. In a flash a new digimon flies in her place, Magnadramon.

Magnadramon is the form of a Chinese dragon, long of body like the drawings from times long past. Dax watches as the glow fades away and points his D-arc up at Rayne's new form scanning her.

Magnadramon

Level: Mega

Attacks: Fire Tornado, Dragon Fire, Hermit fog.

"Dax! Incoming the greymon are returning! Anxerxes must have called them!" Hollers Rayne from over his head.

"Heads up the greymon are returning." Dax says to agent Jennings.

"I heard. All teams heads up the greymon are heading this way!" Agent Jennings says into his microphone warning the teams.

Deb and Achilles have made a path to the gates in the few minutes of battle and are joined by two Hypnos agents and their digimon.

"Heads up them greymon are returning! We need to hold the gate as long as possible!" Hollers one of the agents.

Deb and Achilles look at each other as Deb pulls out a few more cards from her deck.

"Greymon, why did it have to be greymon?" Said Achilles looking at Deb.

"Could be worse, it could have been metal seadramon or worse." Replied Deb as she put the rest of her deck up.

"Get ready! Metal Greymon in front leading the charge!" Shouts the team leader of team five from the guard tower over the main gate.

Back over with Devon, Kithira and Dark Sakuymon.

"I see you brought friends, to bad they will die along with you." said Anxerxes before he jumped down from the catwalk in front of them.

"Wrong asshole your the only one that will die here today." Replies Devon as he starts circling left. And Kithira starts circling right.

"You wish! Chaos Flare! Chaos Flare! Chaos Flare!" Shouts Anxerxes sending his attack at all of them almost at once.

Devon jumps high into a back flip as the attack passes under his paws. Kithira dives forward over Anxerxes and kicks him with her rear paws sending him sprawling toward Kassy.

Kassy bats his attack away with a flick of her hand. She winces with pain at first then grins almost evilly at the attack.

"It's after all what she would have done in the same position as Anxerxes. Try this." She thinks to herself pulling her hands together.

"Tsunami Force!" Dark Sakuymon says in almost a whisper releasing her attack at almost point blank range.

"Power Leach!" shouts Anxerxes before Dark Sakuymon's attack can reach him.

As the attack hits Anxerxes it is absorbed into him and he laughs evilly as he regains his feet.

"Nice, real nice. Power Leach!" Says Anxerxes returning fire at Dark Sakuymon.

She tries to block the attack but there is no visible attack to block. At first nothing seems wrong, but then she drops to one knee and her form begins to flicker.

"Whats happening to me?" She hollers in a rage as she starts to fall forward.

Her other knee hits the ground followed by her hands as her form fades. There is a flash of light and on the ground where Dark Sakuymon was is Kassy and Mike. Mike looks up for a second at Anxerxes before his eyes roll back in his head as he passes out. Kassy weakly pulls herself to Mike and collapses on top of him.

"Sorry Mike, I've failed us both." Said Kassy as she follows Mike into unconsciousness.

"Your power is mine! And now to evolve to my ultimate form!" Exclaims Anxerxes as he begins to glow.

"Not so fast! Dragon Wheel!" Shouts Kithira as she launches her attack at Anxerxes.

"Dragon's Fire!" Hollers Devon from the other side.

Anxerxes laughs as his form fades inside the glowing ball of light and as the two attacks connect he laughs even louder. As the glow fades around Anxerxes, his body has changed here and there. Most notably is the addition of horns extending from his head and wings on his back.

"That tickled, now try this. Doom flare!" Anxerxes Shouts releasing an attack. His wings sweep back and then forward and a very strong blast of air slams into Kithira sending her flying backwards into the wall behind her.

Devon watches helplessly as Kithira hits the wall and slumps to the ground not moving as her form fades into a Renamon. His thoughts run out of control as he goes over attack patterns and discards each of them. He decides on the simplest of attacks, he charges slamming into Anxerxes knocking him down. Anxerxes grabs Devon by the neck as Devon goes for the throat with his mouthful of razor sharp teeth. Anxerxes claws dig into Devon's neck drawing blood, Devon roars in pain as with a heave of Anxerxes arms he is flying. As Devon flies through the air his body twists and he lands on his feet sliding to a stop. Blood soaks his neck fur, as he looks at Anxerxes and smiles.

"First blood to you then. Spike attack!" Devon said throwing his head around sending the spikes on his head flying toward Anxerxes.

Anxerxes dodges by jumping up to the overhead catwalk. Devon's spikes impale the wall over Kithira's body.

"Arctic blast!" Hollers Anxerxes firing off another attack at Devon.

"Diamond sphere!" Devon shouts before rolling into a ball covered in Diamond. As Anxerxes attack hits, Devon hears the sound he thought that he would never hear. His diamond sphere cracking under the intense cold from the arctic blast attack.

"FOUR!" Hollers Anxerxes as he picks up Devon's sphere and tosses it like a beach ball.

Inside, Devon tumbles end over end as the sphere flies through the air. To Devon time seems to slow down until he hits something. The sphere shatters on impact against the courtyard wall. Devon slams into the side of the sphere even as it is shattering around him. Bones break and Devon roars in pain as he hits the ground.

On the other side of the courtyard.

Kithira raises her head at the sound of Devon's roar of pain. And watches as Anxerxes starts walking toward where Devon is laying against the wall. Anxerxes is enjoying himself as he heads for his prey. A Hypnos digimon tries to stop him and Anxerxes just bats the digimon away with his clawed hand. The digimon's data scatters before it's ten feet away from Anxerxes.

"Must help Devon." says Kithira as she weakly pulls herself up. Her fingers will not work right as she tries to pull out the D-advanced and deck of cards. In frustration she pulls off her gauntlet and shakes the items out, the deck scatters on the ground in front of her followed by the D-advanced.

"Shit! Thats all I need right now!" Kithira cusses as she starts to kneel down to retrieve the cards. She stops dead in her tracks as two card draws her full attention. There in front of her a gold colored card. She picks it up and looks at both sides, like the blue cards there are no markings on it. Grabbing the D-advanced she knows what she has to do.

"I don't have a clue what this will do but if this will help Devon. Then so be it. I WILL NOT LOSE ANOTHER MATE!" Said Kithira gritting her teeth through the pain as she slides the card through the D-advanced then looks at the screen and reads the information for the gold card.

"DEVON UPGRADE TIME! SUMMON THE ANCESTOR ACTIVATE!" Shouts Kithira putting all her soul, her pain, and emotion into her shout!

The D-advanced in her hand glows brighter than ever before as all her emotions fuel the activation. Blinding light fills the courtyard, causing all humans and digimon to stop fighting and shield their eyes.

Devon feels the power of Kithira's raw emotions flow into him, restoring him and beyond. Static charges leap from his silver spiked armor as the power of the card enters him on top of Kithira's. He feels and knows what he must do at that moment. Pulling himself to his feet he stands tall and proud in front of Anxerxes, his spiked armor strobing with raw power.

"Armored Kyubimon slide evolution to Kyubimon warrior mode!" Shouts Devon releasing the power within.

In a flash of light Devon transforms, where he is standing is a new digimon. Like the knights of old Devon is clothed in what appears to be plate armor with short spikes. In his hands are twin swords meant for battle. Almost like a Taomon but with full armor instead of the normal priest robes. His nine tails spread behind him in fan.

Next to Devon a bio-emergence appears and slowly takes the form of a digimon. The digimon is almost an exact copy of Devon except his armor is battered and worn from many battles.

"Who has summoned me?" Asks the new comer in a voice some recognize.

Alpha team looks at the new comer in awe. But Kithira is the first to speak.

"I did, but you can't be here. You're dead, how can this be?" Asks Kithira fear showing on her face.

"That part of me that was human is dead. That which is digimon was reborn." Answers the newcomer.

Devon looks at the newcomer.

"Daryl?" Devon asks a look of confusion on whats visible of his face.

"Yes, and I see you finally changed. It's about time too. I wondered when that was going to happen." Daryl answers.

"IT CAN'T BE I KILLED YOU!" Shouts Anxerxes enraged.

"Oh, but it is Anton. Daryl Thackry in the flesh. You failed Anton, all you did was release my digimon DNA to be reborn in the digital world." Replies Daryl taking a small bow.

"It matters not, I'll kill you again along with the rest of worthless your friends and family!" Anxerxes replied.

"No Anton, this fight is your last one. Kithira! Catch!" Shouts Daryl as he draws back an arm and tosses a box toward her.

As the box flies over Anxerxes tries to grab it, but it passes right between his out stretched hands and into Kithira's. She quickly opens the box to find another card. This one silver in color and as before with no markings. Anxerxes choses that moment to renew his attack.

"Destroy them!" Shouts Anxerxes as he jumps into the air and flies over to the catwalk.

The collected digimon around the courtyard that had fought for Anxerxes look at each other. And as if an unspoken word had been past between them. They calmly walk to one side of the courtyard. One stands for a moment before speaking.

"No, we followed you here for our own reasons, not to kill humans like those swine you brought with you Anxerxes. We will not fight your battles for you anymore, we quit." Said a Growlmon before joining the others by the wall.

"Cowards the lot of you, after I'm finished with these fools you're next!" Said Anxerxes his voice seething with anger at being betrayed.

Kithira watching this quickly runs the card through the D-advanced, the card fades away in her fingers as it is read. The D-advanced in her hand glows for a second and them morphs, changing shape slightly and more comfortable in her hand. It's color goes from blue to gold as she watches. An explosion in the courtyard brings her out of her reverie. Looking up she sees Anxerxes launching attack after attack against Devon and Daryl. The air grows thick with smoke as the battle ensues. Try as she might she can't see which has the upper hand at the moment, the sound of their swords hitting fills the air along with their shouts.

"Ah fuck it!" she says looking at the D-advanced screen, before running into the smoke to find Devon or Daryl. Which she promptly runs into Daryl's back, him standing over Kassy and Mike protecting them. Daryl spins but is able to catch himself before hitting Kithira with one of his swords.

"Dammit Kit! I almost took your head off!" Daryl shouts at her!

"What does this mean?" Kithira asks holding the D-advanced up for him to see.

"We're getting our asses handed to us here, just say whats on the fucking screen!" Daryl said as from somewhere in the smoke Devon roared in pain.

"Ah Ha! There you are! Doom Flare!" Anxerxes shouts from their left.

"Talisman spell!" Shouts Cole from behind them as he and Lisa come running up to Daryl and Kithira.

"You didn't think we were going to let you have all the fun, now did you." Lisa said as she stopped in front of Daryl.

"Glad you all decided to join the party. He's stronger than he looks, and I can't take him alone." Replied Daryl as he sheathed his sword.

Anxerxes attack flows over Cole's shield searching for a weakness in it. The shield starts to collapse inward and Cole drops to one knee under the pressure of Anxerxes's attack. Grunting with strain Cole spreads his hands over his head and pushes back against his shield forcing himself to stand up. The shield responds to his pushing against it and slowly expands outward again.

"I can't hold my shield much longer, his attack is just to powerful." Cole grunts again as another one of Anxerxes's attacks hit his shield.

From outside the shield Devon pulls himself to his feet.

"Damn he hits hard! Guess he thought I was down for the count. Now to regroup with the others." Thinks Devon to himself as he picks up his sword.

High above the battle field Rayne watches as the Greymon approach the gate. Making a snap decision she dives toward the main gate and then hovers over it.

"You will not pass! Return to the digital world now!" Shouts Rayne at the greymon.

"Not going to happen! Attack!" Shouts the metal greymon as he continues to charge.

Below her Deb and Achilles along with the Hypnos team five line up and get ready for the greymon to attack. Dax runs up to join them at the last moment before the greymon reach the gate.

"Shit this battle is going on longer than I thought!" Shouts Dax over the sounds of the battle behind them.

"Achilles! Time to power up! Digivolution activate!" Hollers Deb as the metal greymon leading the charge attacks.

"Leomon digivolve to saberleomon!" Shouts Achilles as the glow from Deb's D-arc engulfs him.

And shortly Achilles form has changed into what some refer to his ancestors form before they changed to walking on two feet. Standing at just over eight feet tall Saberleomon makes for an impressive sight. In all he looks like a cross between a saber tooth tiger and a lion, his body is that of a lion. His fur is gold with red stripes, and his fangs at almost two feet long resemble those of the saber tooth tiger. His eyes are a dark blue, almost black in color that add his fierce countenance.

"Everyone ready! Here they come!" Shouts the leader of team five.

"Giga blaster!" Hollers the metal greymon firing off two missiles from his chest launcher at the front line of defenders.

"Dragon fire!" Shouts Rayne aiming in front of the missiles to protect the front line.

As the missiles hit Rayne's attack they explode sending shards of burning metal flying everywhere.

"Let them have it!" Shouts the leader of team five.

And on ether side of him trainers and digimon fire their attacks at the greymon. Various attacks hit the metal greymon with such force that he seems to explode as his data is scattered. Other attacks fly through the remains of his data to strike the greymon following behind. Some greymon disappear in a flash as their data is scattered, while others fall to the ground their forms starting to break down as they bleed data into the air.

From behind the pack of greymon a mass of unknown digimon strikes in a flash of movement. Legs and underbellies are ripped open by the unknown digimon as the mass races past. Inside the gate the defenders are caught without warning as the mass of digimon are behind them in a flash surrounding Cole's shield.

Kithira watches as the scene around her unfolds. The greymon are attacking the gate, Anxerxes is attacking Cole's shield repeatedly looking for an opening. And Devon is somewhere out there in the smoke outside of Cole's shield. Lisa is down on one knee trying to bring around Mike and Kassy. Looking at the D-advanced she stares at the screen and then looks up as the sounds of battle stop. Outside the shield shadowy forms sway and dance in and out of the smoke.

"I understand now." Thinks Kithira as she looks back at the screen and makes up her mind.

"Cole drop the shield! Just do it and don't ask questions! I know what must be done." Said Kithira as she put the D-advanced to her chest and looked up to the sky.

Cole looks at Kithira as if she's gone crazy at first, but then sees the look in her eyes. Dropping the shield he prepares for battle along with Daryl and Lisa.

The group of unknown digimon slowly close in on them as Lisa, Cole, Daryl and Kithira watch with apprehension. As they come closer, their voices whisper as one.

"Since we evolved, we have watched."

"Since we evolved, we have guarded."

"Since we evolved, we have waited."

"Since we evolved, two were chosen."

"Since we evolved, from each generation."

"Since we evolved, to be our champions."

"You are our instrument, summon them!" they say looking at Kithira.

Kithira nodes at the shadowy figures before pulling the D-advanced from her chest and looks at the screen.

"Champions of the clan! Activate!" Shouts Kithira tears in her eyes as the D-advanced glows brightly before sending out two beams of light.

The beams of light burn away the smoke from the battle, one hits Daryl in the chest. The other beam flies true and hits Devon in the chest. Both of them are highlighted by the beams as their armor begins to glow brightly. They look at each other for a second before they both through their heads back and a primal scream comes from both of them.

The shadowy forms swarm Daryl and Devon spinning around them and then begin to merge with them. Almost in sync their primal screams stop and there is a bright flash of light from both of them.

"Mode change! Gladiator mode!" Shouts Devon and Daryl in unison.

Their armor changes from the full body plate armor to something less constrictive. For all intents the armor is nothing more than shoulder pads, shin guards and bracer's covering his forearms. The wicked sword in his left hand changes into a small shield, and the matching sword in the other hand morphs into a long knights sword. And lastly his loins are covered in a loin cloth.

All around the courtyard human and digimon alike stand in awe at Kithira's shout, as the power of the card clears the air. Anxerxes stands in shock as the shadowy forms merge with the brothers, becoming one with them. Focusing his powers Anxerxes draws his hands together.

"Concussion Blast!" Shouts Anxerxes as he releases his attack. Aimed not at Daryl or Devon but at Lisa, Cole and Kithira.

"Lisa, look out!' Shouts Cole as he grabs her and twists his body to shield her against the attack.

Kithira hearing Cole's shout launches herself skyward in a effort to dodge the attack. Below her she watches as almost everything not tied down is flung against the far courtyard wall.

As she nimbly lands on the catwalk she glances Anxerxes way. And then for Cole and Lisa, she sees them far across the courtyard. Cole is down with Lisa in his arms under him by the wall. Kassy and Mike are near them and starting to move.

Lisa squirms her way out from under Cole and pulls herself up to he knees to check him over. Cole's back is cut to ribbons from the attack and bleeding badly. Lisa scrambles to pull out the cards she had setup earlier incase she needed them. Pulling only the cards for healing she slides them through her D-arc quickly.

"Lilymons healing seed! Activate! Health boost! Activate! I just got you back and I'm not losing you again!" Shouts Lisa as her vision grows blurry and she feels herself failing to land on top of Cole.

Kithira sees Lisa fall on top of Cole and makes up her mind.

To one side Mike helps Kassy slowly to her feet. Kassy shakes her head and looks at the scene unfolding a short ways away from them.

"Mike, I have to help them." Said Kassy before giving Mike a kiss on the lips that leaves no doubt about how she feels.

"Be careful-" Is all he can get out before she pulls away and starts moving toward Anxerxes. Mike pulls out his deck and starts pulling cards out.

"Devon! Your mother and Cole are down, take care of Anxerxes, I'll check on them!" Shouts Kithira as she leaps toward Cole and Lisa's position.

Devon's head nods, his eyes on Anxerxes twenty feet away.

"Anton! Your personal vendetta against my family ends today, here and now! Lets finish this!" Said Daryl his voice betraying his anger as he pulled his sword out of it's sheath.

"Yes, lets finish this." Anxerxes replied as he brought his hands together focusing his powers again.

Daryl starts to move toward Anxerxes as a tawny colored blur rushes in from the left and hit Anxerxes quickly.

"Rapid Kick!" Shouts Kassy as she lays into him, her kicks landing repeatedly on Anxerxes head and upper body.

"Oh, please!" Replies Anxerxes as he grabs Kassy by the foot and tosses her away like a toy.

"Holly Shit!" Exclaims Kassy as she goes flying across the courtyard. She twists in midair and lands by the wall.

"Annoying little brat! I'll enjoy breaking you in later. Now lets get this over with." Said Anxerxes turning to face Daryl.

"That brat is my daughter!" Shouts Daryl launching into a blur of movement.

"Lets do this!" Shouts Devon as he too launches into a blur of movement.

Kithira drops to the ground and starts looking over Lisa. Finding nothing outwardly wrong with Lisa, she carefully moves Lisa to the side and looks over Cole.

Cole groans and rolls over onto his back before sitting up. At first he looks around like he has no idea of where he is, his eyes unfocused. In a few short seconds his eyes focus on Kithira.

"Wow, that guy hits like a truck! Oh no, Lisa!" Exclaims Cole as he reaches for her and picks her up.

"She's ok from what I can tell." Kithira says looking over just in time to see Daryl and Devon attack Anxerxes.

Cole holds Lisa in his arms and gently shakes her while saying her name over and over. Lisa's eyes fluter open and she manages a weak smile.

"Hey you." Lisa said weakly.

"How do you feel?" Asked Cole smiling down at her.

"Like someone hit me with a truck, twice." She replied her voice even weaker and her skin color getting paler as her hand gripped his arm tightly and she grimaced in pain.

"Lisa, what is it? What can I do?" Asked Cole the worry sounding in his voice.

"Theres nothing you can do, I'm dieing Cole. I haven't got much time left, at least I got to be with you again. Take care of our family, I love you." She said her voice falling to a whisper as her eyes closed.

Cole watched as her eyes closed and her breathing grew erratic.

"Lisa, I love you! Lisa, I can't live without you, not again!" Shouted Cole in a rage as her breathing stopped.

Kithira looked on, in her heart she was saddened as Cole dealt with Lisa dieing in his arms. And as she watched, Lisa's D-arc glowed so bright that she had to turn her eyes away to keep from being blinded. Mike helped Kassy to her feet as a flash came from behind them. And as it faded they turned to look and was shocked at first then smiled at each other as they knew what was happening.

On the other side of the courtyard.

Devon, Daryl and Anxerxes where engaged in a dance of death, each looking for an opening and finding none. The on-looking humans and digimon watched as the three digimon fought. Some started taking bets on who would win the battle, while others quietly slipped out of the unit into the city.

Devon felt the power of the ancestors flow through him and his speed doubled again. Daryl ducked and rolled forward into Anxerxes legs to take him down, but Anxerxes countered by jumping away. Anxerxes pulled out everything he had to block the brothers attacking him, but with each blocked punch or kick it also cost him some of his strength. Devon ran back away from Anxerxes getting some breathing room before launching his next attack, as Daryl's attack granted him a split second to do so. Daryl like wise disengaged from Anxerxes and stopped with his sword pointing at Anxerxes.

"Heart of power!" Shouted Devon as a blood red beam arched from his sword to strike Anxerxes in the chest.

Anxerxes screamed as the beam hit him and knocked him back almost ten feet and landed on his back. The sound of bones breaking could be heard over Anxerxes scream of pain and rage.

"Revenge of the fallen!" Shouted Daryl as he threw his shield toward Anxerxes the shield glowing with power.

As Anxerxes regained his feet, Daryl's shield slammed into him from behind. Anxerxes screamed as the shield hit his broken wing and finished ripping it off. The shield flew away and whipped back around like a boomerang and returned to Daryl's outstretched hand. Anxerxes looked first at Devon then Daryl before speaking.

"Finally! Someone worthy to challenge me! Now, lets really get down to business!" Said Anxerxes as he smiled and the air shimmered around him with power and his other wing dropping to the ground behind him.

Daryl looked over at Devon and nodded as if speaking without words to him. They both hold their swords up as in a salute.

"Judgement of the ancestors!" They both shout together as they lower their swords and point them at Anxerxes.

From both swords a bright beam lances across the courtyard.

"Shield Wall!" Shouts Anxerxes throwing up his hands to ward off the attack.

The attack hits the shield. Anxerxes shudders under the power of the attack and screams in rage as his shield begins to collapse.

"Pour it on, Devon!" Shouts Daryl as he puts more of his will behind the attack.

On the other side of Anxerxes, Devon puts his other hand on his sword handle and screams forcing all that he is into the sword. His beam glows brighter and widens with his renewed focus. Anxerxes screams as his shield starts to buckle under the onslaught.

"It's over Anxerxes! For your crimes against Digimon and human alike I sentence you to deletion! Final judgement!" Hollers a new voice from the other side of the courtyard.

A Blood red spear flies true and shatters whats left of Anxerxes shield. The spear hits Anxerxes in the chest and slams him into the wall behind him, pinning him there.

Anxerxes screams in pain and rage for a second before the spear's power starts deleting him. His data scatters slowly at first and then picks up speed with each passing second.

"It can't end this way, I was to rule both worlds. I'm not defeated yet, I can still win! You haven't won! You will see! I can't die! I can't-" Anxerxes raves just before his deletion is complete.

All around the courtyard human and digimon look at each other as Anxerxes data scatters. The silence is broken as the cheers break out from the on lookers.

Devon and Daryl look over at the new comer thats walking their way with Kithira, Mike and Kassy in tow.

"You two did well, but have much to learn. But first we all need a vacation." Said the newcomer as he stopped in front of them.

"And you would be?" Asked Daryl looking up at the tall digimon.

"Daryl! Is that anyway to talk to your parents?" Asked the male Sakuymon before him.

Daryl and Devon's mouths fell open as they looked at the male Sakuymon and then each other.

"But, how?" Asked Daryl with a confused look on his furry face as there was a flash and Cole and Lisa are standing before them.

"It's simple son, when Anxerxes attacked us Cole protected me from the full force of the attack. But I still was hurt internally, and almost died from it. I always knew that Cole loved me but I never knew how much until then. It was the power of our love for each other that saved me and allowed us to bio-merge." Replied Lisa as she wrapped her arm around Cole's waist.

Two flashes happen at the same time, Daryl reverts to his renomon form as does Devon. Devon drops to one knee as the power of the ancestors leaves him. Kithira is at a loss as she looks at the two renomon almost unable to tell them apart.

"Devon?" She asks with a questioning look.

"Right here kit kat." Replies Devon as he steps toward her and gets interrupted by Mike.

"Ok, can I have everyones attention!" Shouts Mike.

Everyone looks over at Mike.

"As the senior field agent in charge, all unregistered digimon are under arrest until you can be returned to the digital world!" Shouted Mike as everyone there started giggling at him.

"Uh, Mike, the only ones left are us. Agents and partners." Said Kassy giggling.

"Ah, crap! Here I go again! And I just captured most of them! Damn it! The chief is going to have my ass!" Groused Mike looking around at the teams and his new in-laws.

Epilogue: Six months later.

Kithira, Devon and Daryl sit atop the family house in Spokane, Washington looking down into the backyard and watch the comedy unfolding. Their pups are playing with each other in the wading pool. As Rayne sits down on a lawn chair carefully, her swollen belly making her look like she's about to pop. From below they can hear everyone coming out of the house with the food for the bar-b-que. Lisa waddles over to sit down next to Rayne followed by Deb.

"Achilles, if you ever curse me with twins again I'll have you fixed." Deb said as she sat down.

"But, dear I thought you wanted a big family. Besides if you have me fixed that means I won't be able to preform my husbandly duties." Achilles says as he walks over to the grill with a plate full of meat.

"I do, but one at a time. Not two or more at a time!" replied Deb as she unbuttoned the bottom of her shirt across her waist.

"I don't care if it's one or two at a time, I enjoy being pregnant. And Dax can knock me up any time." Said Rayne smiling as she rubbed her swollen belly.

"Yeah, well you all can get pregnant all you want, personally I want to hold off after this time for a year or two." Replied Lisa from her chair.

"Hey! Are we late?" Came Mikes voice from the driveway.

"No, your just in time for Achilles to burn the meat again." Replied Dax from his chair by the picnic table.

"Oh, your just jealous because you can't cook." Replied Achilles then sticking out his tongue at Dax.

"I can to cook, just I find it easier to use the microwave or pay to have it made." Replied Dax.

"Well, you just keep thinking that when it's 3am and nothings open." Said Cole as he came into view carrying another plate of meat.

"I'm glad we're not late." Said Kassy as she walked over to the table her belly just starting to show her pregnancy.

"Do you miss the digital world? Devon asked looking over at Kithira and Daryl.

"Are you kidding, the constant battles just to survive. No way I like it here better with you and our pups." Answered Kithira smiling.

"Good thing Hypnos dropped general order 123-a; Otherwise thats where we would be living right now. Now if you all will excuse me, my date is here." Said Daryl as his girlfriend walked into the backyard below and he teleported down to be with her.

"It's a good thing that he found someone to be with." Said Kithira wrapping her hands around Devon's arm.

"Yeah it is, I hate to think of how he would act if he was alone." Replied Devon.

"Enough love, lets just watch the sunset. It's so beautiful this time of year." Said Kithira as she leaned against Devon's shoulder.

The End for now.

Authors last word.

Thanks to all the fans of this story for your support over the past two years while this story unfolded. I may do another digimon story in the future (the kids from this one, maybe) but for now I will be doing other stories like (Other world) I need to finish it also. I have another Neo story in the works and two other stories in the outline stages and they are something different from anything I've done before.

I for one have a sense of accomplishment finishing this series after two years of work. The rough drafts of chapters (the complete rework of this one) and all the other things that have plagued me when I was trying to get a chapter out when I said I would. My missed deadlines from events beyond my control and other things (writers block). Besides my marriage and the will to live this is the longest I've done anything in my life. Thanks for two years of support from my fans on yiffstar! More stories to come from me in the future so don't worry that with the ending of this saga that I'm done writing.

Lady Shandi's note: I'm actually kind of sad to see this end. But all good things must come to an end. Thank you all for your patience and for keeping up with the series for so long.

Thanks wolf421 and Lady_Shandi
