Kaez, Jimmee, Hibiki and crew finally slid to a stop in front of Trey, Natsumi, Sam (I'm not listing all of them! Too many DigiDestined!) and company.
"All of us are here now," Trey sighed.
"This street is more crowded than all of New York, though," Ceya said sarcastically (I expected nothing less).
Hibiki shook his head. "Can we just get on with trashing this guy? There might be cake back at the school when we win!"
"Cake!" Anna exclaimed. "Cake is almost as good as cookies!"
"We're getting off topic again!" Kyle shouted.
"All of the Digimon are already at ultimate, so let's just charge in," Charlie said.
Trey coughed, and not at all subtly. "A-HEEEEEM!"
Tay nodded at Wizardmon. "All of them are at ultimate, except Wizardmon."
Trey gasped, pretending to be insulted (and failing). "No need to call us out! I don't see any of you making illusions that could distract enemies so all of our lives could be saved!"
Anna leaned over to Natsumi. "She can make illusions? No wonder I didn't think she had her crest...." Natsumi was confused, but Sam, who had over heard, laughed. (You know, because she sees through illusions? It makes sense...it does!)
"Digimon...ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
Fourteen of the DigiDestined turned to face Raegan, who had her fist forward with a determined look on her face. To say the least, everybody else sweat dropped awkwardly. "Really?" Ceya asked.
Kaez and Tay ran up to either of Raegan's sides. "One, two three...." Kaez began.
"Oh no," Ceya muttered.
But even Ceya found herself among her friends shouting a passionate, "Digimon...ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
(Frankly, I don't know what's wrong with those idiot—OW! Tay, do not hit the narrator!)
All fifteen of the Digimon dashed forward. Taomon was at the front, so she started the rain of attacks. "Brush Strike!"
Trey watched Wizardmon rush forwards. She grabbed Hibiki's arm and yanked him over to her side. The magi-illusionist! The illusionist was much stronger than she looked. "Help me digivolve Wizardmon," Trey told him.
Hibiki nodded. "So....if everything is taken by our friends....and ice cream is because the sun is made of fire...you inherit the crest of Desire!"
Trey stared at him in disbelief. "What does that even...I'm not even going to try and ask."
"Okay. What do you want?" Hibiki asked.
Trey stared at him in confusion. "Erm, for Wizardmon to digivolve to ultimate."
"Make it a mission and not just a statement!"
"I want to help Wizardmon digivolve to ultimate!"
"Louder!"
"I WANT TO HELP WIZARDMON DIGIVOLVE TO ULTIMATE!!"
Hibiki grinned at her. "Good."
"How did that help?" Trey asked.
But no reply came from Hibiki, or anybody for that matter.
Trey looked around. Time was frozen. She made a mental note to ask Hibiki her question again when he could actually hear and understand her.
"Inheritor of Desire and Keeper of Perception—wait, how many times have we gone through this?"
Fourteen.
"Oh. Anyways, Wizardmon shall digivolve now! Congratulations!"
"That took forever! But I'm glad it finally happened!" Trey exclaimed.
"WIZARDMON, DIGIVOLVE TO...MISTYMON!"
Mistymon stood regally in the middle of the fight. Everybody stared at him. Tay actually started drooling. "Hot..."
It took a slap on the arm from a disgusted Ceya to return her to normal.
"Go, Mistymon!" Trey shouted, breaking the awed silence.
Mistymon gripped his sword tightly and thrust it upwards. "Blast Fire!" Flames sparked from the tip of the sword and flew at ShadowShakkoumon. The flames covered the robot in seconds, and cheers arose from the crowd of DigiDestined.
When the flames cleared, ShadowShakkoumon was considerably scarred. Not dead, but scarred.
"Mistymon is going to need your help, bakas!" Trey shouted when nobody did anything. Mistymon's attack doing so much had left them all speechless.
"That one's not a passive one, is she?" Jimmee asked Hibiki.
"You don't know the half of it," Hibiki said, shaking his head.
"Garuru Kick!" WereGarurumon shouted, kicking ShadowShakkoumon.
"Talisman of Light!" Taomon exclaimed, forcing a symbol at the robot.
"Dude, with fifteen ultimate Digimon, this guy is toast!" Tay grinned. "Gooooooooooo FrozenAngewomon! Goooooooooooooo Digimon that are not out to destroy us and the people and the city we love!"
"That's a long chant," Sam told her innocently.
ShadowShakkoumon was inside a dent of the street. A powerful attack from Mistymon had sent him into the concrete. Fifteen Digimon, as well as fifteen DigiDestined, surrounded him.
"It's about time that we finished off the Shadow Reigners once and for all," Kaez smirked.
"There aren't any more of you...are there?" Jimmee asked.
ShadowShakkoumon replied with silence.
"I'm going to take that as a no," Ayame concluded.
"Either that or this guy can't talk to tell us otherwise," Charlie said.
"If we're done with the chatter," Kyle began, "let's finish this fight already."
"I agree," Raegan replied.
"Enough with the stupid dialogue! Digimon, attack!" Ceya demanded.
"Rapid Fire!" Astamon shouted.
"Tri-Beam!" Rapidmon exclaimed.
"Frozen Faith!" FrozenAngewomon yelled.
"Superior Combat!" SuperiorArresterdramon screamed.
"Gate of Destiny!" MagnaAngemon called.
"Witch Warp!" Beastmon cried.
"Bunny Blades!" Antylamon exclaimed.
"Talisman of Light!" Taomon shouted.
"Garuru Kick!" WereGarurumon screamed.
"Flaming Claw!" Crowmon yelled.
"Mikafutsu-no-kami!" Yatakaramon cried.
"Blaze Sonic Breath!" Wingdramon called.
"Emerald Blaze!" Cerberumon shouted.
"Cyclonic Kick!" GrapLeomon exclaimed.
"Blast Fire!" Mistymon finished.
"Howl of the Heavens!" A translucent Caturamon could be seen inside the circle of Digimon. A black haired girl stood next to him. Weird.
All sixteen attacks hit ShadowShakkoumon. The commotion was almost too loud to bear. Most of the DigiDestined shut their eyes or covered their ears, but Trey was in too much awe to care.
When the dust had cleared, ShadowShakkoumon, the real last Shadow Reigner, was gone, and his data was flying upwards.
The Digimon shrank to rookie form and bounded to their tamers. Trey looked to see if the black haired girl was still there, but she was gone. Weird.
It seemed as if nothing could break the cloud of happiness that surrounded the group.
And nothing really could, since there were no more Shadow Reigners.
And that was the end of the story.
Or was it?
