Chapter 36

Kari Kamiya opens her eyes.
The ruined park surrounds her, the remnants of the orange silently mocking her. She had a massive headache and felt slightly disoriented, among a long list of other things.
"I'm back." she thinks and takes a deep breath, making a quick glance among her surroundings. "It's been a while, but we did it."
She takes another deep breath and says something under her breath. After all, she wouldn't be there if weren't for them.
"Liar."
Kari then turns around, finding a group of shadowy figures surrounding her. They all appeared to be a variety of digimon, judging from the sheer size of some of the shadows staring her down.
"Do you even know what you brought forth?" a shadow announced and pulled a sword out, pointing it towards her. "Now you will pay."
Kari only watched on, confused by what they were talking about. Everything still felt like a complete blur, each word seeming foreign and distant.
"Huh?" she answers, unsure of what was "What are you even talking about?"
The shadow inches the sword closer to her, muttering something to itself. It was probably hoping that she remembered. But at the same time, it wanted her to forget. After all, either outcome would work out in their favor no matter the outcome.
"You already know, god." the shadow announces and glances towards her with not a single bit of pity. "For your ignorance, your punishment shall be death."
Kari just stood, seemingly unaware of what was going on around her. But at the same time, the digidestined understood it perfectly. After all, the easiest way to snap someone out of it is too tempt death itself.
"Sounds good." Kari answers without even taking a second to think about it. Nonetheless, the shadow pulls his sword up and takes a deep breath. Not often does one gets a chance to slay a god, leaving this event to be an extravagant celebration. It then slams his sword down, watching as one body became two halves. Yet, the two parts just floated there, unaware they were supposed to be dead and all.
Unless…
By screwing one of them, you bring forth the other. After all, it was Hope (TK) who went searching Light (Kari). It was Friendship (Rika) that felt remorse for Courage (?). It was Fire (Takuya) who helped Darkness (Kouchi) back up. It was Black (Miki) that went searching for something that belonged to White (Megumi). It was only through the combined efforts of Knowledge (Nene) and Kindness (Yuu) that Hope (TK) was able to reach Elysium. There, he transcended into Light (Kari) and completed his journey. Which leaves us with Light (Kari) and her transcendence and completion of her journey. Once that is out of the way, the two angels may finally reunite after a year spent separated across time and space.
The two halves come back together once more, only for a beam of blinding light to engulf it.
"It worked." a shadow whispers and smiles, mumbling something to the other beings with him. "Move out, Timekeepers."
The shadows then teleport away, leaving the still split body of 'Kari' just floating within the beam. 3… 2… 1…
The beam disengages, leaving not the complete body of Kari Kamiya, but the body of TK Takaishi. Well, it looked like the digidestined of hope. Instead of his usual outfit, he was now draped in just a white toga with the symbol of hope on the back. A pair of wings hung out of his back, casually flapping with the wind.
"Now, where is it?" the angel whispers and scans the park. "It can't have gotten too far…"
TK glides over to the far end of the park and smiles. He remembers where he had left it. After all, he had weakly thrown the device to the ground oh so long ago.
"Took you long enough."
He turns around, finding an onyx-colored catgirl standing before him. She holds up the green and grey D-3, handing it over to her boyfriend.
"I could say the same about you, Kari." TK answered as he embraced Kari, planting a kiss on her cheek "Let's go home."
"Agreed."
The two then soared into the air, extremely ready to return to Elysium.
.
A figure watches from a darkened room.
"So, they manage to complete it, huh?" the figure remarks to themselves and takes a deep breath. "Good for them."
They then turn their attention to the mystical fourth wall.
"Oh hello there." the figure greets. "You're probably wondering who I am and why I'm talking to you. Alas, those are questions for a future time. After all, they still haven't gathered together yet…"
Notes:
With that, the circle has been completed. Maybe now, the rest of the heroes will gather...
