Part One

As you know, I was killed in the August of 1999, by a wave of Vamdemon's bats, in an attempt to defend my friend Tailmon and her partner, Hikari Yagami, during the last struggle of Vamdemon's overthrow by the Chosen Children. It was the best thing I could do for everyone. I haven't been seen for a long time, yet my journey continues. It hasn't been known to others as to what I've been doing since then.
It seems as it was my destiny to protect those two with my life -- literally, but as soon as I died, I had known there were bigger things in store for me. For one thing, there were the Ichijoujis, then the girl, Yume.
Shortly after my life on Earth ended, so did Vamdemon's. When he had slipped into the desperate Oikawa's ear, potential trouble started up again.
Osamu and Ken Ichijouji had found their digivice. Osamu was blindly cruel to his little brother, being a young and popular genius, and stole all of the attention -- and eventually the device.
All of this mistreatment had affected little Ken greatly. So greatly in fact, that he had wanted all the attention. That meant Osamu should be gone completely for good.
So he had made a wish. Unfortunately that wish came true with the help of Vamdemon's darkness, which perhaps may have manifested Osamu himself. This wasn't what Ken had truly wanted, deep down inside of his heart.
But how such young innocence was soon quickly spoiled by the dark temptations of greed. He had taken the digivice, been to the ocean, and was crowned Digimon Kaizer, the substitute of both Osamu and Vamdemon.
On the third anniversary of my death, I returned to the Tokyo Tower and called on the attention of my dear friend Tailmon, and the other Chosen Children -- for I had to offer them a hint for the downfall of the Kaizer. I had said that it was necessary to use kindness as the tool for freeing the one who was wrapped in darkness. It was simple enough. I left the rest for them to figure out. I must admit, though, how it hurt when I was unable to hold my friend's hand. She had cried. Was I truly free afterall, then?
With my help, they had succeeded. Ken was freed, and became the 12 Chosen Child and they advanced on to destroy the control spires and defeat Vamdemon one last time.
But what became of Osamu?
Before I had dealt with Ken's situation, I greeted Osamu upon his death. The boy had been bad, but it wasn't too late as long as there was something I could do about it to give him a second chance. The girl who wished for him to have that very gift, also needed a very important lesson to learn as well as Osamu -- and a tamer.
Yume was that girl. She was a Chosen Child. But unlike the others, she had started out as a digimon. Osamu could be her partner and teach her that she had the potential to be a digimon tamer someday. As for himself, it would be like spending time with Ken again and being able to return to the Spirit World with peace of mind.
I felt in my heart it was necessary to do this. Once again would I unite tamer with digimon and put things right.
And so I gave Osamu the digivice and told him to wait, for the dead can conceive of the future, and years pass like minutes if we so choose.
But before Osamu came along, Yume was already a digimon and had met the Digimon Kaizer in the summer of 2001. True, Ken was no longer the Kaizer, but his spirit itself had remained in existence. Yume had wished for him to come back so they could befriend one another -- the first second chancer. But Kaizer still had a darkened heart and had much to learn.
Thus they both thought they were meant to be partners. What Kaizer had wanted was a strong digimon that would make him invincible once again, but after living with Yume for a while, he had learned that what he really wanted was a friend.
This pairing was not meant to be -- and I needed to fix that.
I came unto Kaizer and took him away after I told him that he wasn't meant to be her partner. Yume was sad, but was thrilled to meet her true tamer, Osamu.
Kaizer, however, was angry for being forced to be seperated from Yume. In his confusion, he became blinded by evil once again. He thought that since he couldn't have Yume, he'd create another one like her. Using a feather of her's and a dark wish from his heart, he created a dark version of Yume, BlackLugia, who was really the digital conversion of Yume's twin brother Lugia, Morgan.
Morgan was taught to hate all things good and destroy all digimon for data in order to make his tamer invincible. Kaizer had planned to overthrow Yume and her partner for revenge in the future, using Morgan as both bait and the assassin. But until then, they waited in darkness.
Finally, in the autumn of 2001 they met and formed a rookie, soon-to- be-invincible duo. Yume, also known then as Swandramon, a converted digimon, learned and evolved quickly. With Osamu's developing love and perseverence, she evolved all the way up to Ultra within the year they were together. When she did for the first time, it was in the next summer, with Osamu. They battled against her evil twin, Fiona, who is nearly forgotten by now. That was the first major accomplishment of her adventure, but it also meant goodbye for Osamu.
As soon as she devolved back to normal, Osamu told her that she had done a good job, they had both learned a lot from each other, but that it was time for him to go back to the Spirit World. She was so terribly sad, but knew the right thing was to let him go.
Just before he dissolved away, he gave her the digivice, which contained a Digitama, and she turned into a human tamer.
He told her that she would be able to become a digimon again as soon as her own digimon evolved to the Ultra level.
Then I took him back home, congratulating him. From that point on, we continued to watch her progress.
