The Digidestined of the Question

by LadyAnnaLee

Where does good begin and evil end? When does good end and evil begin? Can children answer that question? It seems unlikely so this time around teenagers, or more accurately, young adults have been chosen. Can they save both the Digital Word and the Real World? Digimon Adventure Universe. Main Characters are OCs. T for safety.

25. 25: Victory

Yuki reached out for the Data that was Angemon and, would soon be Shourimon. She wasn't stupid. All the names for the Recodes were the Japanese word for their attribute. She had figured that one out when Steven Recoded to Yaboumon. She had known for a long time that Victory would be Shourimon. She was slightly surprised. It felt like Beelzemon was pushing her up rather than dragging her down. However just as the Data reached her fingers she fell passed the barrier of green Data. However it appeared that it was just a barrier. As they continued to fall Yuki finished her very first Recode.

Shourimon may not have had a weapon but, she still cast her hands out, "Triumphing Interface: Hope Firewall!"

Shourimon was been working on instinct but, that didn't seem to matter. She brought her hands together as if she was cupping something. The Digimental of Hope appeared in her hands and, condensed down into the Crest. As Shourimon cast out her hands the extra Data created a sphere around her and, Beelzemon, who was still clinging to her. The Crest of Hope was imprinted on the silvery blue sphere.

Beelzemon finally let go of Shourimon, "Thank the Sovereigns!"

Shourimon was confused by that, "A Demon Lord is thanking the Digimon Sovereigns?"

Beelzemon scowled at her, "You think you are so smart just because you're a Digidestined."

Shourimon's voice was terse, "I don't know everything. That's why I asked."

Beelzemon pulled a fist back, "That's it!"

He was about throw a punch but, Shourimon's tone stopped him. "I wouldn't. In case you've forgotten it's my barrier that's keeping you from Reconfiguring."

Beelzemon scowled and, dropped his fist, "Damn you!"

Shourimon laughed. "Damn you too! This Firewall won't last forever!"

Beelzemon grew worried, "What do you mean?"

Shourimon explained it, "Recodes can't last forever. As soon as I'm exhausted and Decode back to Yuki, and I'm guessing Poyomon, the barrier will fail and, we'll be headed back down. Attacking me will just make it happen faster."

Beelzemon scowled again, "You have wings! Just head back up to the barrier."

Shourimon looked up at the green Data above them, "I can't. I've tried. Something is preventing from us from going up. However we can mover side to side and, down."

Beelzemon looked at her in shock, "So what do we do?"

Shourimon, "Start walking I guess. Maybe we'll find something that can help."

Beelzemon considered her in disbelief, "That's your solution; walk."

Shourimon's gaze was level as she looked at him, "Do you have a better idea?"

Beelzemon shook his head and, randomly picked a direction. Shourimon didn't hesitate. She just flew next to him. Hope Firewall moved with them. They weren't sure how long they walked. It could have been three minutes. It could have been three years. Then something flited next to them. Shourhimon stopped and Beelzemon was forced to stop as well. It looked like a recording of the first time Haru and Greymon Recoded to Shintakumon.

Shourimon asked, "What is that?"

Beelzemon watched it for a moment, "It looks like a Memory of the Digital World. I thought they were myths."

Shourimon commented, "Apparently not."

Beelzemon told his traveling companion, "The myth says that every second of the Digital World is recorded and, stored in Reconfiguration Chasm. Until now it has never been proven."

They slips of recording were passing bay with more frequently, "The things I could learn."

Beelzemon could understand that, "While that is certainly alluring we need to find a way out Recode."

Shourimon sighed in disappointment, "You are right Demon Lord."

Together they moved thought the snippets of Memories. Even though they were passing though they still learned more than they planned. From time to time one of them would stop and, the other would stop as well. They watched the Memories and, they learned about each other. They couldn't help it. It seemed like time had no beginning and no end.

Then Shourimon stopped in shock, "That's Yuki. She looks ten. How can a Memory be of Yuki when she's ten? She had never been to the Digital World at that point."

Beelzemon was uneasy as he correct her, "Yuki is twelve in this."

Shourimon understood immediately, "Ah! This was when she Digihacked for the first time."

Beelzemon was still uneasy, "No. Yuki couldn't Digihack even if she wanted to."

Shourimon laughed, "I don't know if I should be offended or not. It sounds like you are insulting her intelligence and by default mine."

The only reason why Beelzemon was telling her this was because at least to the two of them they had known each other for eternity, "Yuki Tachibana is incredibly intelligent. In fact she is so smart that somethings are just instinctive to her and, by extension you. That is why Tempusmon is jealous of you and her." Beelzemon took a deep breath before continuing, "She Digiprogramed without knowing it."

Shourimon looked at Beelzemon in shock, "Digiprograming is near impossible. Only the Powers that Be and the Soverigeins can Digiprogram."

Beelzemon pointed at the chip that never once left Shourimon's hand, "No it's not and, that chip has the secret of how it works."

Shourimon continued to protest, "I can't Digiprogram! Yuki Digihacked that mountain."

Beelzemon all but shouted, "That's what Tempusmon wanted you to think!" Shourimon was shocked and, the Demon Lord continued, "He was the Messenger. He was jealous of your ability so he told you that you Digihacked to get you to stop from Digiprogram." He continued his explanation, "The Powers that Be gave you the Virus of Devimon's mountain and, you turned it into the Data of the fruit trees. Hackers can't control both ends. Programmers can."

Shourimon's voice shuddered as she asked, "The Reconfiguration Chasm?"

Beelzemon explained that as well, "You just grabbed the Data that Tempusmon already yanked and put it down where you wanted it. Think about it Shourimon. I'm willing to bet that your Triumphing Interface is a computer of some type. The Powers that Be called you the Programmer. All the pieces add up."

Shourimon looked at her gloved fingers. Beelzemon was right. Her helmet was displaying not only what she saw but, a stream of zeros and ones. She had always been able to understand both code and Digicode instinctively. Shourimon flexed her fingers and, another window popped up. It appeared to hover in front of her and a little to her left. Beelzemon couldn't see it. Shourimon had been using a similar screen to record her thoughts on the Memories. She hadn't even needed to think about it.

Besides Beelzemon had no reason to lie to her. They had known each other for practically forever. He didn't agree with all of Tempusmon's principles. He was just tired of being judged and excluded simply because he was a Demon Lord. He just wanted to rule over his small corner of the Digital World in peace. For being the Demon Lord of Gluttony he wanted surprisingly little.

Shourimon looked at Beelzemon, "Alright. If I am a Programmer I should be able to Digiprogram a door out of here. So let's test this. You best hold on to me."

Beelzemon was surprised by that, "I am still your enemy Shourimon."

Shourimon shrugged, "Not right now. Right now you're just a Digimon in trouble and, Digidestined help Digimon in trouble. Once we get out, then we will be enemies again." Shourimon splayed out her hands, "Triumphing Interface!"

Beelzemon nodded as he wrapped her arms around Shourimon's waist. He was careful not to get in the way of her wings. He also didn't want to distract her. He was surprised again when Shourimon handed her the chip so she could use both her hands. Shourimon got to work. Either this worked and, they survived or it failed and, who knew what happened. Possibly they would both be Reconfigured. In all reality odds were that only Beelzemon would be Reconfigured while Shourimon was lost forever.

**Scene Change**

Tonight was the night that the world was surrendering. Haru looked up at the ceiling as he spun the chair he was sitting in back and forth. He couldn't say he blamed them. For the past three months Tempusmon had amped up his game. As much as everyone hated to admit it Ken Ichijouji and Koushiro Izumi could just not keep up with half of what Yuki Tachibana could do. Where Yuki managed to find every Convergence point they only managed to find three out of four. The death toll was rising.

That wasn't even the worse part. The worst part was that Tempusmon and his horde had started to attack the Real World directly. With Digivolution disabled without the Recode Program that left only four soldiers to fight against it and, safely evacuate people and Digimon from both ends of the Convergence. Both tasks were become increasingly more difficult due to the infrequency of sleep. There was only so much only four young adults could do; even if they had the support of most of the world's government's.

Well they use to. Haru sighed as he continued to complement the ceiling. They didn't anymore. Tonight Tempusmon was holding what he was calling a "banquet of friends" and, delegates from just about every country in the world were going to be there. No one said it out loud but, everyone knew what is was. Either the world surrendered and, let Tempusmon be in charge or, the world would be destroyed. People were afraid. There was very little Haru could do to fix that.

The Digidestined of the Question had been invited but, they weren't going. They hadn't given up yet. The older Digidestined weren't going either. If there was one thing a Digdestined was good at it was fighting against impossible odds while defending that which was good. That was what Yuki had done three months ago and, that was what the rest of them would continue to do.

Still the entire dinner was being broadcasted live so most of the Digidestined were in the main operations room at the Digimon International Relationship Office getting ready to watch. Steven insisted that they needed to know what was being said. Haru trusted his Diplomat knew what he was talking about. Right now it was just people eating some fancy food while Tempusmon lorded over them from a head table with his allies and flunkies surrounding him. As such Haru was not paying attention.

Haru sat up as he heard Steven say, "It's starting!"

On the screen Tempusmon had risen and, the room had fallen silent, "Now I am sure that you are wondering why you are here and, I assure you that I have nothing nefarious planned; just a few demonstrations. All I plan to do tonight is to discuss a new world order, one that will bring a better world."

The rest of the room was silent as Tempusmon spoke, "This world is plagued my disease, inequality, prejudice and, all sorts of things that can be eliminated should people simply get over themselves and, learn to work together." Tempusmon was smiling as he used his hands to gesture, "Can't you imagine it?"

Steven turned to look at Haru and smiled slightly, "It's the picnic all over again."

Haru smiled back but, kept his attention on the screen as Tempusmon continued to speak, "A better world is a possibility. It is not a dream or a distant goal. Yes a few sacrifices will have to be made and, all I am here to do is ensure that the transition happens smoothly."

A female delegate with a Palmon Partner interrupted, "What sacrifices?" She scowled at Tempusmon, "You aren't here to oversee the so called transition. You're here to take our freedoms and, control the world."

Tempusmon turned his gaze towards her. When he spoke his voice was cold, "You doubt me? What can I do to ensure you of my intentions?"

The delegate stood up. Her voice was barely contained passionate anger, "No I don't. I just don't believe you are telling the true regarding your intentions." The woman was clearly angry, "You destroy both the Real World and the Digital World and, kill thousands while doing so."

Tempusmon scoffed as he smiled, "That was just a demonstration of my power. Now difficult individuals will be more inclined to listen to me." He gestured to the gathered delegates grandly, "After all it did bring you all to my banquet."

Another delegate, this one was male and partnered with an Armadilloman, stood as well, "And while some of the countries are considering giving up control to you not a few are here simply to listen and, take what we learn back home."

Tempusmon out right laughed at that, "I don't want decisions tonight! I am merely giving you my proposal." His mismatch matched eyes became dark, "And give you a warning. Order will come to both worlds. Whether it is done the easy way or not is up to the people living in the worlds."

The first delegate exclaimed, "So it is a threat! Surrender to you or die!"

Tempusmon sighed in disappointment as his eyes closed, "Here I am trying to give you all hope for something better but, you refuse to see past your own narrow views." He opened his eyes to look at the woman, "Very well. I will be a threat." He then ordered, "Kill her Mephistomon."

The woman's eyes went wide in shock as the man told her, "Run!"

The delegate sentence to die started to run but, not before Mephistomon sent off an attack, "Dark Cloud!"

However the attack didn't get very far before a blinding golden light filled the air along with a shout, "Angel Staff!"

The light may have been blinding but, everybody knew that that Angel's Staff was Angemon's attack. The Champion had come to defend the Rookies and people. It was even possible that it was Digidestined Takeru Takaishi. If he was here that meant the rest of the Digidestined weren't far behind.

Tempusmon spat as the light only got brighten, "I thought you weren't coming Digidestined Takaishi!"

Haru looked from the screen to where Takeru was most definitely sitting. Takeru felt Haru's gaze and, protested, "Hey! Patamon is here on my lap!"

Then a laugh pierced though the brightness on the screen, "You know Tempusmon. If you weren't obsessed with me I would be honored that you thought I was the Digidestined of Hope." The light finally died to reveal a smiling Yuki Tachibana in the middle of the room, "But you are so I'm not."

Steven was out of his seat in a moment. He slapped his hands on both sides of the screen to press as close as he could to drink Yuki up. She looked well. She wasn't dressed in the outfit given to her by the Powers that Be. Instead she was in a little black dress with a high collar and, no back. Her tights were deep purple and, her shoes were little black ankle boots with impossibly high heels. Her hair was a little longer than Yuki normally kept it. Over the time that the others had known her they managed to feed her enough so she lost some of her original gauntness. Now it had returned. The most stunning difference was the pure confidence shinning from her bright green eyes. Her ankles were together and, her hands were on her hips. Still the biggest miracle was that she was alive.

Tempusmon was just as shocked, "Hacker Tachibana!" His fingers flicked, "What a surprise. I am relieved that your descent into Reconfiguration Chasm did not change you."

Yuki laughed again and, the sound was glorious, "But I did change." Her smile shifting in to a smirk, "Not that that is any of your business!"

Then the meaning of Tempusmon's flicked fingers became apparent. One of his flunkies, this one was a Neodevimon but, it was unclear if it was the one that loathed Yuki, had stalked around to a place hidden in the shadows. Then with a shout he lunged towards the Digidestined. Yuki's eyes went wide but, from across the room something crashed in to the Neodevimon. It couldn't have been Angemon. He was still between the female delegate and Mephistomon.

Yuki's smile faltered as her head whipped around to snap, "Beelzemon! Let him go!"

Haru was shocked to his feet as well. It was indeed the Demon Lord of Gluttony. Beelzemon had one of his hands wrapped around Neodevimon's throat in order to pin him to the wall. What the hell was going on? Something had obviously happened.

Beelzemon turned to Yuki with disbelief etched on his face, "But Lady Programmer! He tried to kill you!"

Yuki nodded, "I realize that. However you prevented that quite nicely and, so there is no more reason to pin him to that wall."

The Demon Lord protested, "There is reason; to kill him!"

Yuki's eyes grew hard, "That's not our decision and, you know that!"

Beelzemon scowled as he dropped his hand, "I should have just shot him!"

Beelzemon moved back over to stand near Yuki as the Neodevimon crumpled to the ground. The Fallen Angel Ultimate took great deep breathes of air. The Mega Demon Lord produced two guns and, clearly took up the position of guard. Yuki didn't seem concerned about that.

Tempusmon was clearly unsettled by the display but, tried to hide it with a forced laugh, "I see you have seduced one of Demon Lords away from me Hacker."

Yuki corrected him, "Programmer. Also I have to ask: your Demon Lords?"

Tempusmon did not answer Yuki's question, "Hacker Tachibana."

Beelzamon stopped him by pointing one of his guns at Tempusmon, "You will address the Lady Programmer by her correct title or, I will be forced to teach you some manners."

Yuki chided, "Peace friend," She waited until Beelzamon dropped his gun before continuing, "If Tempusmon wants to continue acting like an ignorant fool who are we to stop him?"

Tempusmon sputtered, "Ignorant! I am not ignorant!"

Yuki smirked, "I didn't say you were. I said you were acting like one."

Tempusmon drew him up to his full height, "I don't know what you're talking about Hacker Tachibana."

Beelzemon sputtered, "Why you!"

Yuki cut him off, "Peace Beelzemon!"

The Demon Lord protested, "But Lady Programmer! He is insulting your intelligence!"

Yuki pushed her hair from her eyes, "I don't see why that's a problem."

Beelzemon scowled at her, "The Lord Diplomat would understand."

Yuki pointed out, "Well Steven's not here and, if Tempusmon wants to act like he doesn't remember that he is the Messenger and, that he sent me those messages because he was jealous, he may."

Yuki was smiling serenely but, Tempusmon looked stunned. Slowly that stunned look transformed into one of barely suppressed rage. Yuki either didn't realize what was happening or didn't care what was happening. She was still smiling in the middle of the room.

Meanwhile Peter suddenly spoke up from where he was watching, "Wait! Tempusmon was the Messenger! Why didn't he tell us earlier?"

Terriermon was confused, "What do you mean?"

Peter explained, "Well the Messenger was the one that told Yuki that she was Digihacking and, told her she needed to stop. Yuki never felt anything but, gratitude to them. If we had known that Tempusmon was the Messenger that might have tipped the balance." Peter asked his question again, "So why didn't he?"

Terriermon was confused now that it had been explained, "That is a good question."

Steven was still staring at the screen, "It has something to do with why he was jealous. The real question is why he was jealous of Yuki. That will explain his obsession with her as well."

On the screen Tempusmon's rage was barely contained, "Are you implying that I'm jealous of you!"

Yuki looked up at the ceiling, "Well not of me. It's more like you're jealous off what I can do."

Tempusmon was a tight wire or anger, "And what can you do that I can't?"

Yuki smirked at him, "Come now Tempusmon. You know just as well as I what Andromon's lie is just as well as I do." Steven's hands clenched but, Yuki was still speaking so he suppressed his rage, "What I can do that you can't," Yuki ran her tongue over her upper teeth, "Is Digiprograming!"

For one brief moment there was silence. Then Tempusmon spoke through clenched teeth, "Digiprograming is impossible."

Yuki was so calm it was almost comical, "No." A shimmer of light passed over her from toe to head, "Just very difficult."

Yuki was no longer in the dress. Now she was in the outfit given her by the Powers that Be. Though there was no way to prove that this was Digiprograming rather than Digihacking Yuki was still smirking at Tempusmon. The display must have been the last straw because Tempusmon let out a screech and, all the glasses in the room broke.

Tempusmon's mismatched eyes were full of rage, "Kill her!"

Yuki let out a laugh, "And that's our cue!" She turned on her heel, "Move out boys!"

The first thing was that Beelzemon started laying down suppressive fire. His first target was Mephistomon. Then he started firing at other members of Tempusmon's entourage. The only other Demon Lord in the room was Lucemon and, he was going after Yuki. In the chaos she had dashed though a door after snagging a security guard's gun.

Angemon called out, "Ambassadors! With me! Keep low!"

Then some of Beelzemon's energy shots knock out the cameras and, the screen in the Digimon International Relationship Office filled with fuzz. Steven let out a shout of frustration as he slammed his fists. Then he turned up abruptly and, headed out of the home. Wormmon quickly followed

Agumon called out, "Hey! Where are you going?"

Steven didn't turn around, "To go help Yuki!"

He didn't need to say anything to get the rest of the Questioners following. Still Peter asked, "Why didn't she Recode?"

Haru's face was pure focus, "Let's go find out!"

**Scene Change**

Yuki cursed in Japanese as she looked for the nearest staircase to the roof, "Damn broken Recode!"

She could fix it if she had the time but, she didn't. It wasn't really broken but, since the first time she had Recoded she had falling in to Reconfiguration Chasm it wouldn't work unless she was falling. That was why she was heading up to the roof. Still she was in an impossibly good mood.

The door that she had Digiprogramed as Shourimon had dropped her, Poyomon and Beelzemon off in Antarctica. Yuki had felt exhausted. Now that she was coherent she figured that time was in a type of stasis while they were in Reconfiguration Chasm. Once they got out it caught up to her. She had been unconscious for about a day and a half. When she woke up she was surprised that Beelzemon was standing guard over her and, the news of tonight's dinner. She told Beelzemon she going to confront Tempusmon. Once more she was surprised when Beelzemon dropped down to one knee and, swore allegiance to her. Yuki wasn't sure what to make of that so decided to leave that to Haru and Steven to figure out. They were better with people.

She was Digiprograming as she ran up the stairs. She had pulled out the bullets from the gun she had all but stolen. What she was doing was tricky. First she had to turn the matter into Data. That was difficult but, the next part was easy. She altered the Data of the bullets to rewrite the Digicode. Finally she had to make what she created back into matter. It didn't help that Lucemon was after her.

Still it was done. The bullets shape hadn't changed but, the insides had. Yuki paused for a moment to throw one at Lucemon. It burst open to form a cloud of orange tear gas. Lucemon paused to curse and, Yuki used that time to head up another flight of stairs. Five more times she did that but, soon Yuki hit the roof of the fifty story hotel. There was nowhere left to go. Yuki back away to the edge and, looked down. Beelzemon and Angemon had got all the delegates out and, to safety but, where was Tempusmon?

Lucemon appeared from the staircase and smirked, "Nowhere left to go Hacker; expect over the edge or back to me. Either way means death."

Yuki smirked as she backed towards the edge, "Well then I chose the edge." Right before she fell she called out, "Angemon!"

Angemon looked up to see Yuki falling so he began to soar up to her, "Angemon Recode to …" The Data wrapped around Yuki to finish the transformation, "Shourimon!"

Lucemon's eyes went wide as Shourimon flew back up to the rooftop. The most noticeable thing about Shourimon was the fact that she was very female. Also the high heels that the Powers that Be stuck Yuki with now made sense. Her black anklet boots with gold edging along the top and front had three inch stiletto heels. Her tights were white and, tucked into her boots. The tights transformed into a full body jumpsuit that went from her ankles to her neck to her wrists. Over her chest was a vest that ended right below her breasts made of a gold material that matched the accents on her boots. Sitting at her hips was a pair of shorts made of the same material. Both the vest and the shorts had been short though with threads of blue and purple. Spiraling around her up her right leg to her torso and, then down her left arm was a strip of dark blue cloth with the words "VICTORY AND SCARIFICE" written in Digicode. Shourimon's hair was longer than Yuki's and reached the top of her skirt. It was still pitch black but, there were thin blond highlights. On her head was a cap made of steel that covered her eyes and the bridge of her nose. Her eyes glowed bright green. On her hands were a pair of black gloves that covered her wrists. There were two pairs of silver feather wings coming from her back. On pair spouted from her lower back and the other came from her shoulder blades. Elements of Angemon and Magnaangemon had taken over Yuki's slight frame.

Lucemon backed away slowly, "Damn! It!"

Shourimon's voice betrayed a deepness that had to have come from Angemon, "I am Shourimon, the Programmer of Victory. As Angemon I Recode with a determined defender of Victory. I may not be the strongest of fastest of the Recodes but, my Triumphing Interface makes me the most versatile!"

Lucemon kept backing away slowly, "Damn! It!"

Shourimon laughed, "You said that already!" Then she held her hands out towards Lucemon, "Triumphing Interface!"

The sparkling light that meant Data appeared and, began to take shape as Shourimon's hands began to attack as if she was typing. Suddenly shots of energy similar the blast from Shintakumon's Connection Blaster soared towards Lucemon. The only difference between the two were that Shourimon's were silvery blue rather than spring green.

Lucemon flew into the air and, then let out a shout, "You're a computer!"

Shourimon followed him with a few flaps of her wings, "Computer, user, both in perfect biomechanics and neural transmission."

Lucemon scowled, "No matter! Lord Tempusmon wants you dead and, I am not a traitor like Beelzemon!"

Shourimon's fingers were still typing against the air, "Then let's do this!"

Whatever Shourimon was trying to do wasn't fast enough as Lucemon sent a Grand Cross at Shourimon. She looked at the orbs of energy and, then smirked at Lucemon again. She really was a computer.

She hissed, "Triumphing Interface: Hope Firewall!"

Shourimon clenched her fists in front of her heart and, the Digimental of Hope appeared. The Digimental of Hope condensed down into simply the Crest. Then Shourimon cast her hands out. At the same time the Grand Cross exploded. When the light and smoke cleared Shourimon was unharmed. She was surrounded by an orb of energy that was embossed with the Crest of Hope. It fade and, Lucemon saw his chance.

He rushed Shourimon, "Paradise Lost!"

Lucemon threw punch after punch at the Recode. However the Programmer just continued to smirk at the Demon Lord. Each punch was blocked by a glowing blue Crest of Hope. Shourimon just kept typing.

Lucemon pulled off throwing, "What is going on?"

Shourimon explained, "Triumphing Interface: Hope Firewall is instinctive once it is activated. I don't have to think about it." Shourimon stopped typing and, moved to grab the item that was forming, "Leaving me time to make this!"

Shourimon shoved the sword that she had grabbed into Lucemon's chest as he tried another punch. The Demon Lord of Pride was taken completely by surprised. He began to Deconfigure as Shourimon pulled her sword. Lucemon looked at the injury. It felt like he was Deconfiguing slowly.

He used his time to ask a question, "What did you do to Beelzamon?"

Shourimon went ahead and answered, "I pulled him out of Reconfiguration Chasm without him having to Reconfigure."

That wasn't the whole truth but, it was enough because Lucemon was gone. Shourimon was done smirking. She didn't like Deconfiguring Digimon and, now she had to deal with Tempusmon. Then again maybe she wouldn't have to. The scanner in her helmet reveled that there was a Digiport opening. Shourimon swore in Japanese before soaring down to where it was. She was just in time to see Tempusmon fleeing.

He glared at her as he escaped, "This is not over Programmer!"

Shourimon called back, "Time never ends but, Victory is assured."

Then he was gone. Shourimon looked around. She was by the back door of the hotel. She landed on the concrete with two clicks of her heels. She then moved through the door as she scanned for Beelzemon. She went to find him to see him in the conference room where they had confronted Tempusmon.

Shourimon spoke calmly, "Are you well Beelzemon?"

The Demon Lord's head snapped up, "My lady!" He quickly came over to her, "I am well. And you?"

Before she could answer a voice could be heard, "What the hell is going on?"

Shourimon's head snapped around and, a grin spilt her face, "Steven!"

She started to run towards the boy and, Decoded to Yuki and Poyomon. Poyomon was on Yuki's head so Yuki felt safe enough to throw her arms around Steven, "It's so good to see you."

Steven hugged her back for a long minute and, then pushed her away, "What's going on? How are you alive? What's this about you Digiprogramming? What the hell is Beelzemon doing protecting you?"

Yuki out right laughed, "In a minute Steven. I don't want to tell this story over and, over again. So let's wait for Haru and the others."

Steven nodded, "Alright then." Then he pulled her into another tight hug to whisper in her ear, "I'm so glad you're alive."

Yuki hugged Steven back as Poyomon bounced from head to head, "I'm home."

Steven smiled, "Welcome back."

Author's Note: LadyAnnaLee here! Shourimon is live! How cool is that! Now they all have Recodes! The battle can really begin now. However there are still some unanswered questions. What do I mean by that? Well you'll have to read on to find out. Let's see: reviews! To flameloude: Yuki's not dead. Stop freaking out. To BEST OC Maker: I wasn't too harsh was I? To enarmonios: Yuki was never meant to be a damsel in distress. It just fell that way because Yuki is used to it. If it had been Petra or Peter that fell the other twin would have been lost as well and, if it had been Haru or Steven the team would have been damage beyond repair. Yuki will not have to depend on others so much now. That's it for now. Please remember to review. I love y'all and, I will see you next week. Love, LadyAnnaLee.

PS. I do not own Digimon. Anything you recognize is not mine
