The Data Squad's Final Battle!

"Pathetic humans." King Drasil droned, appearing in his robotic armored form.

"No way..." Gotsumon was stunned. "It can't be..."

"This must be King Drasil's true form." Thomas reasoned.

"What's he doing?" Falcomon asked in fear as King Drasil fired his lightning charges at the crystal slabs around him, sending them towards the group.

"ShineGreymon!" Marcus gaped when his partner shielded the group from the attack.

"Look guys! The Human World!" Yoshi gasped when the remaining of King Drasil's crystals revealed the Human World above them.

"What are you up to?" Marcus demanded when King Drasil sent his glowing crystals into the Human World.

"I told you, your punishment is permanent deletion." King Drasil told him.

"Permanent?" Gotsumon echoed.

"This is what you get for trying to challenge a King." King Drasil informed them. "Now, you shall pay for your arrogance."

"Oh yeah? You're not going to take us down without a fight." Gaomon challenged.

"We'll never give up! When we join forces together, we're more powerful than you think!" Lalamon agreed.

"Keenan, time to digivolve." Falcomon told his partner.

"D.N.A Charge Overdrive!" The other five called out.

"Falcomon double warp digivolve to...Ravemon!"

"Lalamon double warp digivolve to...Rosemon!"

"Gaomon double warp digivolve to...MirageGaogamon!"

"Renamon double warp digivolve to...Phoenixmon!"

"Veemon double warp digivolve to...Imperialdramon!"

"Let's get to it guys. This is our final battle!" ShineGreymon told his comrades.

"Traitors." King Drasil declared, sending his crystals to the seven mega Digimon.

"Double Crescent Mirage!" MirageGaogamon released crescent shaped shock waves from his hands, destroying several crystals heading towards them.

"Glorious Burst!" ShineGreymon spread his gigantic wings, concentrating the accumulated light energy to the utmost limit, then fired it.

"Rose Spear!" Rosemon brings the crystals down with her rapier.

"Spiral Raven Claw!" Ravemon rotates the nails on his left arm and performed a rotating charge.

"Great Tornado!" WarGreymon spun at tremendous speed like a tornado and launched himself at the crystals.

"Crimson Flame!" Phoenixmon released a purifying fire from her mouth.

"Positron Laser!" Imperialdramon FM pointed his cannon forward and fired a blast of energy from it.

"Ravemon!" Keenan called out when his partner was knocked off by the vines dangling on King Drasil's waist.

"There's more!" Yoshi added as MirageGaogamon dodged the vines coming at him. ShineGreymon slashed through the vines thrown at him, only to be entangled by some more of the creepers.

"Sir, your orders!" MirageGaogamon turned to his partner.

"Crystals from far and vines up close. He's got both the perfect offense and defense." Thomas noted. "No holes."

"Then we'll just have to punch some holes ourselves." Marcus replied. "GeoGrey Sword!"

Pulling out his weapon, ShineGreymon charged at King Drasil.

"What?" ShineGreymon gasped when his sword split into two when he tried to stab the robot.

"He snapped the GeoGrey Sword like a toothpick!" Marcus remarked as King Drasil's vines wrapped themselves around ShineGreymon, tossing him off.

"ShineGreymon!" Marcus called out to his partner.

"You really must be fools since you continue to oppose me." King Drasil droned.

Summoning a giant crystal, he released it at the group.

ShineGreymon looked back at his partner, charging to intercept, the other six Mega Digimon following suit. However, the crystal still crashed into the group.

"ShineGreymon! All of you!" Marcus gaped at the fallen Mega Digimon when he pulled himself up. "Hang in there!"

"Now do you realize the extent of my power?" King Drasil belittled.

"Some King." Marcus retorted. "You're the one who'd better realize the extent of our power. We're not done. And we're going to keep coming at you. Do you hear me?! No matter how many times you knock us down, we're never going to quit."

"Whether you quit or not, you will be destroyed." King Drasil told him.

"Please, no more." Gotsumon begged as King Drasil formed another large crystal. "You can't keep egging him on. If we get hit again, we're done for."

"If you're afraid, then go hide." Marcus told him. "I'm staying right here. We have to be willing to risk our liv..."

He cut his sentence short when he looked down at the pendant Spencer gave him as he remembered his father's words.

"There comes a time when a man must risk his life to keep a promise he made to his friends." Spencer passed his mental message to his youngest son.

"Now is that time." BanchoLeomon added.

"This isn't a schoolyard fight anymore." Marcus retorted. "This is a fight to protect everyone. That's what you taught me. Right dad?"

"Right." Yoshi replied. "Marcus, we got your back."

"Yes, me too." Keenan added. "We with you all the way. To the end."

"If we go down, we go down together as a team." Thomas agreed.

"Hear that? We're fighting as one." Marcus told King Drasil.

"In that case, I shall remove the very thing you're fighting so desperately to save." King Drasil replied, as he proceeded to teleport himself.

"Hey! Where are you going? Come back here!" Marcus demanded.

"What he going to do?" Keenan exclaimed.

"I hope I'm wrong." Thomas realized. "But I think he's going to try to finish the job he started and destroy the Human World."

"Oh no, this is the worst." Yoshi sighed as King Drasil entered the Human World.

"We can't stay here!" Marcus retorted. "Come on ShineGreymon, get up! We have to go after King Drasil."

"Okay Boss, I'm with you." ShineGreymon replied as Marcus got on his shoulder.

"Please wait. Take me with you. Don't leave me behind." Gotsumon took hold of ShineGreymon's tail before they took off.

Back in the Human World...

"Kristy, I've got to get you out of here." Garudamon told the girl as they watched Craniamon hold up the Digital World in BanchoLeomon's place. "It's too dangerous."

"We can't leave." Kristy retorted. "Craniamon gave himself up in place of my dad to hold up the Digital World. We can't just abandon him now."

"But..." Garudamon protested.

"Here you are, Craniamon." King Drasil looked at his renegade Royal Knight as he appeared in the Human World. "What a little pathetic traitor you turned out to be."

"King...Drasil..." Craniamon gasped.

"Your efforts will have been in vain." King Drasil told him. "Stand there and watch as I now destroy the Human World."

With that, he sent his glowing crystals towards the cities.

Kristy gasped in horror as the cities started to disappear.

"Kristy." Garudamon placed the girl onto the mountain before charging at King Drasil.

The Digital World ruler fired his crystal beams at the Ultimate level Digimon who managed to dodge the attacks before getting hit by one of them and dedigivolving back into Biyomon.

"Biyomon." Kristy hurried to the pink bird's side.

"How could you do that?" She turned to King Drasil.

"All Digimon who attack their king are traitors." King Drasil replied. "If the Digimon had an ounce of loyalty in them, they will be helping me and not fighting me. Don't you know why the Digital World is falling, human child? It is all due to your people's blackened hearts. My duty is to protect the Digital World. So in order to save the Digital World, I must destroy the Human World."

"No..." Kristy stammered. "Please don't do it. You can't."

"I have made my decision." King Drasil told her.

"No!" Kristy hugged Biyomon as King Drasil's crystal came towards her.

"ShineGreymon!" Biyomon beamed when the Mega Digimon's hand shattered the crystal.

"Are you okay, Kristy?" Marcus asked his sister.

"Marcus is back." Kristy beamed. "They're all back."

"You would dare to try and attack my sister." Charlie glared at King Drasil.

"Thought you could just run off, huh?" Marcus growled at King Drasil, his D.N.A Charge flaring up. "I told you we're not going away!"

"King Drasil, if you want to destroy the Human World, you will have to go through us!" Thomas snapped, his D.N.A Charge flaring up like Marcus's.

"And together, we're unbeatable." Yoshi added, as both her and Keenan's Charges flared up.

"We'll fight to the end!" Keenan retorted.

"Charge, D.N.A Burst Mode!" The four called forth their partner's next level.

"ShineGreymon Burst Mode!" ShineGreymon announced.

"MirageGaogamon Burst Mode!" MirageGaogamon declared.

"Rosemon Burst Mode!" Rosemon announced.

"Ravemon Burst Mode!" Ravemon declared.

"What?" King Drasil demanded.

"Final Shining Burst!" ShineGreymon induced a massive explosion.

"Meteor Shackle!" MirageGaogamon struck King Drasil with a sphere of light containing planetary-class energy.

"Jewel of Heart!" Rosemon shoots Tifarets at King Drasil.

"Lightning Thrust!" Ravemon thrusts at King Drasil with violet lightning.

The four attacks merged into one and tunneled towards King Drasil.

"Take that!" Marcus retorted.

"Fight ShineGreymon!" He told his partner when King Drasil's vines wrapped around the Mega level Digimon.

"I'm quite impressed by the level of power you possess, but it's no match for the King of the Digital World." King Drasil declared as the gaping wound on his body closed up.

"He can regenerate." Thomas was stunned.

"Of course. I am eternal." King Drasil replied. "The thought of you or anyone else destroying me is preposterous."

That said, he sent his red lightning via his vine towards ShineGreymon, electrocuting him.

"ShineGreymon!" Ravemon gasped, before one of King Drasil's vines lashed out at him, dedigivolving him back into Falcomon. King Drasil then sent his vines at the other two, dedigivolving them back into their rookie forms along with the other five Mega level Digimon. That done, King Drasil then tossed ShineGreymon off.

"ShineGreymon!" Marcus called out.

"You will all perish along with the Human World!" King Drasil declared, as he sent his glowing crystals all over the Earth.

Back in the basement of Angel's Bath House...

"What was that?" Kevin inquired as the ground shook around him, Michelle cradling the crying Ruka.

In an underground shelter...

Tommy. Relena prayed.

Back on Mount Fuji...

The group had collapsed to the ground from the aftershock.

"Gaomon." Thomas turned to his partner. "Are you okay, Gaomon?"

""Lalamon, open your eyes." Yoshi urged. "Lalamon!"

"Falcomon." Keenan looked at his groaning partner.

"Agumon, wake up. Come on!" Marcus rebuked, shaking his partner. "Agumon?"

"That's it." He growled. "You! You can try doing anything to me! But when you mess with my friends, it's fighting time!"

"I understand what you are feeling." King Drasil replied. "Anger. Hatred. Now you know the emotions many digimon feel towards humans."

"They what?" Marcus demanded.

"The humans have permanently deleted many innocent Digimon." King Drasil told him. "The pain and suffering from this catastrophe will be felt for the rest of eternity. With this decision, I an avenging our lost Digimon."

"That's not how it is." Keenan protested as he sat up. "Many hu-mons love Digimon like their own family. Just like some Digimon love hu-mons like they were one of them."

"Oh really? Then where were these so-called loving Digimon and humans when the Digital World was being ruthlessly attack?" King Drasil inquired.

"I can't hold it off much longer!" Craniamon gasped as he struggled to hold up the Digital World, sinking to his knees.

"No! Dig down deeper if you have to!" Marcus told him.

"I'll try, Marcus." Craniamon replied.

"Don't try. Do it!" Marcus retorted, his D.N.A Charge flaring up once more. "Dig down as far as you possibly can. Dig deep! Because even if our Digimon are out of energy, we can't give up the fight. We can never quit until we stop King Drasil once and for all."

"Look at his D.N.A Charge. It's climbing of the charts." Thomas remarked.

"Marcus?" Yoshi blinked.

"King Drasil, you're wrong! Humans and Digimon can live together peacefully." Marcus insisted, raising his arms and creating a pillar of his D.N.A Charge towards the falling Digital World. "And I'm going to prove it by saving both worlds. And then I'm going to take care of you!"

"No matter how strong you are, the power of one lone human will not make a bit of difference against me." King Drasil remarked.

"But he's not alone." Charlie countered as his D.N.A Charge created a pillar.

"What if the rest of us join him?" Thomas retorted, following Marcus' example.

"You'll have to beat us all!" Yoshi added, adding her own D.N.A Charge.

Keenan let out a war cry as he included his D.N.A Charge.

The remainder of the group included their D.N.A Charges as well.

In the underground shelter…

"Sit down Kamemon." Yushima told his partner when the turtle stood up. "You need your rest."

"Hey come back here! Where are you running off to?" he asked when Kamemon walked out.

Back up top…

Megumi and Miki awoke in the midst of the rubble.

"Megumi, are you okay?" Miki asked her companion.

"I think so." Megumi replied.

"Where are those two going?" Miki asked when the two Pawnchessmons walked forward.

"Hey, they're leaving!" Megumi gasped as the two Pawnchessmons took off.

"Pawnchessmon, come back!" Miki called out.

Back in the Damon household…

"No, don't go outside!" Sarah cried as the in-training Digimon flew out of the window. "Guys, it's too dangerous out there! You'll get hurt! Come back inside! Please!"

Back on Mount Fuji…

"Gotsumon?" Keenan blinked as the rock Digimon stood up, a white flare around him.

"I feel... someone calling me. Like they're asking for my help." Gotsumon replied.

"Me too." Piyomon added, a similar flare emitting from around him.

"Piyomon?" Kristy blinked.

"What's going on here?" King Drasil inquired as the streams of light converged around the four D.N.A Charged pillars. "Are they trying to help Craniamon prop up the Digital World?"

Outside Angel's Bath House…

"Those lights. What could they mean?" Sampson inquired.

"I think they could be various Digimon reacting to a very strong human emotion." Kevin replied. "And by the sheer numbers of it, my guess it's the most powerful emotion we have our will to survive."

"I feel it too." Kudamon added. "Lilith-sama, I understand."

"Kudamon." Sampson looked at the fox-like Digimon on his shoulder as the rookie Digimon glowed a similar white light as he joined the others.

Outside the shelter…

"Since the very first man, our will to survive has always taken president above everything else. It's an emotion more powerful than all the others combined." Yushima replied.

"I get it now." Relena realized. "We're asking for help and the Digimon are coming to our rescue."

Back on Mount Fuji…

"I feel it too." Craniamon remarked. "The Digimon are coming, to save both worlds!"

"We did it. we stopped the Digital World from colliding with the Earth!" Thomas commented.

"You see? Human emotions have enough to do anything." Yoshi retorted.

"I've seen the power of human emotions before." King Drasil replied. "It was those very emotions that led to your vicious attack against the Digital World."

"Look there!" Keenan exclaimed.

"It's the Royal Knights!" Yoshi remarked as the rest of the Royal Knights entered the scene. "What are they doing here?"

"My brave and loyal Royal Knight brigade." King Drasil noted as the Royal Knights assembled before him. "I'm glad to see you. Destroy these humans at once!"

"What are you waiting for?" he demanded when the Royal Knights remained silent. "I command you!"

"I'll like to ask you something first, my liege." Omnimon replied. "What is a King?"

"What?" King Drasil hollered.

"What goes into a King's decision making?" Omnimon added. "Why are you attempting to destroy something our friends are risking their lives to protect?"

"You dare question me?" King Drasil demanded. "Since the beginning of time, my word has been absolute."

"You're wrong!" Gallantmon corrected.

"Gallantmon!" Marcus was astonished.

"He's still alive." Thomas blinked.

"Kentaurosmon and Alphamon have taught me the truth. King Drasil's word is not absolute." Gallantmon replied. "Even he can make mistakes. Both human and Digimon possess the will to survive, King Drasil. If you call yourself a King, then you'll grant us the opportunity to live together in peace."

"So, you have turned against me, Gallantmon." King Drasil noted. "Very well then, you can all be destroyed along with the Human World!"

Omnimon shielded the four teens before King Drasil's beams hit them.

"Omnimon!" Keenan gasped.

"King Drasil has turned against us." Gallantmon remarked as the beams rained down on them.

"No, it is you who has turned against me." King Drasil corrected. "You will now see why I am the ruler of the Digital World above all others."

"What?" Omnimon gaped.

"My name is King Drasil, also known as the 29000WZ." King Drasil droned. "A personal computer built to observe the evolution of Digimon."

"Wait a second, King Drasil is a PC?" Marcus exclaimed.

"Due to an error code, my experiments on Digimon and human interaction have failed. The software will be reinstalled and after rebooting the system, the program will restart in a new virtual universe."

"New universe?" Omnimon echoed.

A Motimon squealed as King Drasil's red lightning hit him, turning him into a digiegg.

"Reconfiguration!" Yoshi gasped in realization when the in-training Digimon squealed as King Drasil's energy rained down on them.

"That's enough!" EmperorGreymon and Gallantmon charged at King Drasil, only to be thrown back by his power.

"Gallantmon! EmperorGreymon!" Marcus gasped.

King Drasil then expanded his energy, striking down on Craniamon.

"Oh no, Craniamon needs our help." Omnimon turned to the weakening Craniamon.

"The Royal Knights are working together! Look!" Keenan remarked as the Royal Knights converged around Craniamon.

"Everyone…" Lilith let out a small smile.

"The odds of preventing the Human and Digital Worlds from colliding are 0.0001%." King Drasil droned. "Too insignificant to compute."

"You honestly don't seem to understand, King Drasil." EmperorGreymon argued.

"This isn't based on numbers. This is about how we feel." Omnimon remarked.

"Humans and Digimon have the will to survive." Craniamon added. "We share the same desire!"

"Unable to compute. Unable to compute. Fail Error. Continue shutting down system in order to restart the program." King Drasil droned, sending his lightning onto the Royal Knights supporting the Digital World.

"Just 'cause things didn't go your way, you want to wipe out everything and start from scratch?" Marcus fumed. "You say you're trying to save the Digital World and the Digimon. What happened? You don't care about saving them anymore? Despite knowing the truth, you still rather destroy everything than admit you're wrong. You have no right to call yourself a King."

"Marcus…" Yoshi blinked.

"We're with you." Kristy added.

"We'll fight!" Keenan declared.

"Together!" Thomas remarked.

"Boss, I'm with you too." Agumon replied, getting back up. "I'll never give up. Let's beat King Drasil together."

"Alright then. Agumon!" Marcus beamed.

"It's fighting time!" Agumon finished his sentence.

"For humans and for Digimon!" the two chorused.

A small chuckle cut in as Lilith approached King Drasil.

"Can't you see you've already lost, Drasil." Lilith told the ruler of the Digital World as she looked at him in the eye. "It has been a while, hasn't it? The other half of myself."
