Authors note: Sorry this is so short but I wanted to post something and I didn't want to wait until I had more done. Anyway, this part sets up the story but it doesn't tell you much so instead of making it the first chapter I made it a prologue. There will be two more chapters. This is story will be dark, depressing, and disturbing, so beware. This first part however, is not.
Sora walked slowly through the lovely Odaiba public park where she spent so much of her spare time. She was wearing her usual outfit minus the helmet, and she held a soccer-ball in her hands. It was the same park where she often played soccer with Tai. It was also where she and the other digidestined had met to come up with a plan to find the eighth child, who latter turned out to be Kari, Tai's sister.
Sora had only been back in the real world for a few days and she took a moment to reflect on the strange events of the past couple of months. Less than a week before she and the others were fighting the battle of their lives against Apocalymon.
The digidestined had been triumphant, but it was a bittersweet victory. Not long after defeating the last of the evil digimon and fulfilling their destiny Sora and the others learned that they would have to leave their digimon partners behind and return to the real world.
After all that they and their digimon had been through together, they were told to say goodbye, just like that. She thought about Biyomon, she was more that just Sora's partner and bodyguard, she was her best friend too, even more than Mimi was in a way. She and the other digidestined had all developed a special bond with their digimon, a bond in some ways greater even that the one between fellow digidestined, to tear them apart was a cruel blow.
"I guess that's just part of being a heroine." Sora thought.
It was almost the end of summer and the sakura petals were falling in the park. She breathed in deeply and savored the sweet smell of the petals. Just then Sora felt a sharp pain in her head and for a slit second a blurred image of someone standing over her flashed in Sora's mind. The person looked vaguely familiar.
The scent of the petals had triggered a memory from Sora's past, a dark one, one that she had tried long and hard to forget. She dropped the soccer-ball and fell to one knee. "No." she muttered. The pain in Sora's head intensified and she collapsed on the grass as the entire terrible memory rushed back to surface.
