Chapter 1: The DigiDestined of Courage

That was it. Apocalymon was defeated. The Digital World was saved.

7/8ths of the DigiDestined were safe. 15/16ths of them and their digimon were safe. One Destined was injured.

Kari knelt over her brother, her body was in spasms. "Tai! Please wake up Tai!

"We're supposed to go back to Mommy and Daddy and Miko and everyone together!

"Don't make me go back on my own! Please!" she sobbed.

Tai had used up too much energy to stop the explosion. The digivice had requested too much energy. And Tai obliged.

Now he was barely clinging to life. Death had him in its clutches and wasn't letting go.

"Please Death! Listen to me! Listen to Light! Let him go! Let him stay!" She sobbed.

The entire group watched the siblings.

Matt had noticed that there was no rise and fall of Tai's chest.

Their fearless, forever-leader was gone. For good. Or so they thought.

TK was now crying against Matt's legs, everyone else was crying silently. Even Matt.

The older blond approached her, keeping his promise to take care of Kari. "Kari. He's gone. I'm sorry." he said, still holding TK.

"No! He can't be gone! He can't be! Please bring him back!" she sobbed.

Matt took her in his arms and she pounded on the Bearer of Friendship's chest stubbornly. Eventually she let him hold her.

That was the day that Courage was lost, Light was lost, while the others all faded. The day that the Digital World was saved, at a price. A terrible price. The price was Courage, he was to be paid for the salvation of the Digital World. And with Courage gone, Light dispersed with it. And with Light gone, the Digital World fell into darkness. But three years later, Courage would return again, and Light would flood back to the Digital World once more.
