Aftermath
Shadow- "Hello everyone! I'm back! With another part to the story. Now, for the obligatory intro:
Welcome to the start of part eight! To new readers, welcome! And to old readers, welcome back! If you haven't read part one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven of my story (The Coming Sunset, Nightfall, Through the Darkness, Road to Dawn, Mainframe, Dark Worlds, and Hidden World), please go to my profile page, and read those first. Or else this part won't make any sense to you whatsoever.
And to long-time readers: Yes. I am finally getting back to the others now. Oh, and digi-writer1392? Let me just say in advance: I'm sorry."
Renamon- "For what?"
Shadow- "You'll see..."
Renamon- "Shadow does not own digimon."
Shadow- "And please review. Anything at all would be nice..."
Where am I?
What happened?
Okay, get a hold of yourself...
Revemon... killed...
Oh no...
Obscamon...
No... after that...
He talked to some one...
Then...
...He... killed me...?
...Then...is this... death...?
n. digital world
The entire digital world shook from the collision between the three real worlds. Tidal waves washed clean thousands of miles of earth. Entire forests were flattened. Villages were destroyed. Primary village was wiped off the planet. The D-reaper's old home was filled to the brim with water, and became a lake. More importantly, all the digidestineds who managed to escape in time were tossed randomly around the main digital continent.
A groan rose from the rubble of one of the forests. Takato gingerly freed himself from the rubble. He shook his head to clear it, then looked around. Seeing nothing of interest, he looked up.
He gasped as he saw a tear in the sky, which showed a burning field of flying rock, which whizzed around, smashing itself into smaller and smaller pieces. Takato was hypnotized by the display. He stood still, staring up at the sky, until a voice brought him back to earth.
"Hey gogglehead. Wake up."
Takato turned, and saw Rika. Her shirt and pants were torn, though miraculously nothing important showed. (Shadow: Let's not stray into "M" territory...) Her belt which she carried her digimon cards on was missing, though she was still wearing a necklace which had an oval gold object on it.
Takato smiled slightly. "Rough trip?"
Rika raised an eyebrow. "Yeah... looks like you had fun, too."
Takato looked down. His shirt and shorts were also torn. His digivice was missing. He searched frantically for it.
Rika smiled. "Looking for your goggles?"
Takato started. "My gogg..." He reached up to his head. No goggles. He sighed. "Damn it... no goggles and no digivice... this is not good..."
Rika shrugged. "Not that it would do you any good, anyways. Renamon and Guilmon and who knows where, and I can't reach anyone else with this stupid thing..." she held up her digivice. "...just static... I don't know if we're the only ones... or if there's something else wrong."
Takato sighed. "Well... what now?"
Rika smiled again. "We do what we always do. We start walking."
Takato looked around one last time for his goggles. No luck. He sighed again, and followed Rika through the toothpick-sized remains of the forest.

Kari's eyes flickered once, then opened.
She tried to get up, but failed. Not because she was hurt. Because she was floating. She looked around.
She was floating in pure whiteness. No colors, patterns, or anything. Just endless white. In fact, if some of the other digidestined hadn't been floating nearby, there would have been nothing at all.
Quite a few of the others were floating near her. They're not moving... I hope they aren't hurt... She looked around for Tai, but didn't see him. A noise behind her made her jump. (Shadow okay, float up sightly, but it still works.) She turned.
Justin floated in front of her, smiling sadly. "Hey, Kari."
Kari blinked in surprise. "Justin? ...but ...we thought you were dead..."
Justin nodded. "I am."
"Then... how..."
Justin sighed, and shook his head. "Haven't you figured it out yet, Kari? I'm dead. Those around us are dead." he paused for a moment. "...and so are you..."
