Prologue
Shadow- "Before I begin, I'd just like to warn you that there are no characters from the original series in this story. I own them all. That being said: Hello again, reader!"
Renamon- "Again? What makes you think they've read your stories before?"
Shadow- "Oh, that's true... well, my name (as you may have guessed) is Shadow, and this is Renamon, my digimon partner and muse."

The dark figure split apart into shadows, and vanished. A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the rooftop, showing no change... except for the gaping hole in the side of the steel wall...
