Chapter 39: Loose Ends
Andrew
I don't know how long it lasted, all I knew that in a matter of moments, the mood had gone from dreary and doomful, to cheerful. The reaction was the same for all of us; even I the cold and bitter one was cheering for joy, hugging Demidevimon. Even though I'd seen it with my own eyes, I still found it hard to believe, it was all over, Evamon who had plagued me since I was two years old was finally gone.
"He's gone," Demidevimon cheered, and started laughing. "He's finally gone."
If Evamon was finally gone, why did this victory seem so hollow? Yes I was happy that he was gone, but so what? What happened now? I went back to my crappy life living with my Dad; the others had reason to be happy, and had family's who cared about them to go back to, what did I have? An alcoholic father and a beat up house.
"Guys," Tai said. "I don't think it's over just yet."
"What?!" Kris yelled.
"Up there in the sky. Look!" Tai yelled pointing up into the sky.
Our heads all looked up in the direction Tai was pointing. Where we saw a large pitch-black cloud formed in the sky.
"What is that?" Furmon asked. "Maybe we split apart to early."
"It looks
The dark cloud suddenly started to react. Dozens of dark beams shot from the cloud.
"Heads up!" Koromon yelled.
The dark beams showered down towards the ground, however none of them came even close to hitting any of us, in fact they seemed to be avoiding us. For every beam that shot out from the cloud the cloud seemed to get smaller. Meanwhile as the beams hit the ground they began to change, taking various shapes, the first one I noticed was very familiar, it was a baby Digimon, a Punimon to be exact. Soon the other beams began to take shape, taking the form of various Digimon, all kinds of Digimon formed from the beams. In Training, Champion, Ultimate, even Mega Digimon formed from the raining dark beams.
"I've heard of this," Demidevimon said. "Before I was assigned to be Andrew's Digimon I heard a rumour that after Evamon's defeat all the Digimon that he destroyed during his reign would be reborn. See when Evamon destroyed a Digimon, whether it's one of his minions that got on his nerves, or just an innocent Digimon he absorbed their data because he didn't want them to be reconfigured. So when he was defeated their data would reassemble."
He was right, as I glanced around, noticing as the final beam formed into a Frigimon, the dark cloud disappeared, all the newly formed Digimon I didn't notice one that didn't look friendly. I guess it really was over, even the last remnants of Evamon were gone, and turned into these good Digimon.
It was over – then why did I feel like I'd lost?
"Hey Salomon looks like you've got a double," Demiveemon said.
"Hardly," Salomon said. "That Digimon is black, when I'm Gatomon, I've got a much cleaner white coat."
"What?!" I yelled as my head snapped up. "What did you just say?"
"That Digimon," Demiveemon said. "It looks just like Gatomon except it's black."
I looked in the direction that Demiveemon had indicated, praying to see what I hoped to see.
Sure enough I did! She was regaining her senses, as she stood up, shaking her head, she looked dizzy and zoned out but it was definitely her, Blackgatomon! But if Blackgatomon was alive that meant –
Suddenly I saw her, she didn't have her Digimon Empress outfit and her hair was down, it was definitely her. I couldn't believe it!
"Emily!" I yelled as a smile grew on my face, and tears of joy ran down my face. I immediately ran up to her and through my arms around her. "Your alive! I can't believe your back!"
As if Emily coming back hadn't surprised me enough, she surprised me even more by hugging me back.
"I'm sorry," she whispered. "I'm sorry for all that I did."
"It's okay," I said. "It's okay, all that matters is that you're here! All that matters is that you're alive. I don't care what you've done, you're my sister I don't care."
"I knew you'd feel that way," she said. "Oh, and if you ever tell anyone I apologized, I will kill you."
I laughed. "I won't, I promise."
"A-Andrew," a voice from behind me said.
I actually recognized that voice, but no it couldn't be – it couldn't. I slowly turned around, I didn't think I could have gotten any happier at that moment; I was proved wrong as turning around.
"M-Mom!" I yelled upon seeing my mother standing before me.
"What happened Where have I been?."
"Mom!" I yelled, and it was just like what had happened with Emily. I hugged her and she hugged back. It was like I was two years old again, I felt safe, and happy and nothing else seemed to matter. "I thought you were dead!"
"What – what's going on?" my mother asked. "What happened?"
"It's a long story," I said. "A very long story."
"Mother?" Emily said.
I suddenly snapped back into reality, with the total shock of seeing my mother again I'd completely forgotten about Emily.
Our hug was broken as Emily slowly approached us. Was I seeing things? Was Emily actually being shy? It was then when I realized how much they looked alike, I hadn't realized before how much Emily looked like our mother, and Emily was like a younger version of her.
"Oh my God. Emily?" my mother said seeing Emily. "How long have I been gone?" she approached Emily and brushed some hair out of her face. "What happened to that baby I used to hold in my arms – you're all grown up."
"Yeah, though for the worst," Emily said trying to hold back tears of joy, as a smile grew on her face.
I couldn't believe it, it was an actual smile, not an evil grin, an actual happy smile. I don't believe I've ever seen her smile like that before, not since she was a baby.
The happy reunion was broken up as I looked up and saw the looks the rest of my teammates were giving us. Aside from the Japanese Digidestined and Will, every one was giving Emily a very angry look. I could understand why they would though Emily wasn't exactly a saint, but neither was I and they'd given me a second chance.
I shifted uneasily as Kris approached us. "It's nice to see that you're back, I wasn't very happy with the way we left things. Maybe this time we can be friends instead of trying to kill each other."
"Well I can't promise that we can be friends, but I've learned a lot since I was killed, and I can say that I won't try and kill you anymore. At least not right away."
"I guess I can live with that." Kris said.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on here?" my mother asked.
"I guess I can field that one," Blackgatomon said jumping onto Emily's shoulders, to which Emily welcomed. She really had changed whenever she had done that before Emily just rudely pushed her off. "It would make more sense coming from me anyway. But not here it looks like we're already beginning to draw an audience."
She was right, there was a huge crowd of people just staring at our gathering, and they had probably seen the entire fight.
"You're right," Emily said. "Let's go home."
I smiled as she said that final word. Home, it had been fourteen years since I had actually looked forward to going home, my mother and sister were back! They were actually back, now everything would be okay. Yeah I knew it wouldn't be perfect right away, my mother wouldn't appear and make everything magically perfect again, but it was a start, and that was so much better than what I did have, and now I knew without a doubt that all that fighting and struggle against Evamon was totally worth it.

Kris
A day had past since Evamon's defeat, since Emily's return, and since the war had ended. I never really found out what happened with Andrew, Emily and their family. I was afraid to ask, Rob had asked Emily and she practically bit his head off. Actually Rob seemed to be really concerned about her, he kept asking if I thought she was going to be okay on the way home yesterday, at first I didn't mind but after the tenth time he asked it started to get annoying.
That wasn't the only thing that was unclear, needless to say a lot of people were talking about what had happened, but no one was really clear of what exactly had happened, and luckily for us we had gotten out of the battle scene and home without anyone confronting us. No one had confirmed anything that had happened, there was still a lot of confusion around town, but that was okay, confusion was good, it meant that no one had recognized us, and no one had known what happened, the last thing we needed were camera crews and news reporters hounding us.
Which brought us to today, the fighting had stopped and the confusion had begun, but confusion was much better than fighting. Tai and the other Japanese Digidestined had stayed with us one last night, and were now getting ready to leave. We found ourselves in the outskirts of town, our Canadian team gathered in one group, and the Japanese team standing in their own group only a few feet away.
Tai and I stepped out of the groups and approached each other.
"So I guess this is finally it huh?" I said we go our separate ways.
Tai was about to say something when a booming voice suddenly interrupted him. "No not quite."
"I know that voice!" Davis yelled.
"Yes it's far from over," a second voice said.
"And I know that voice." I said.
Instinctively we all looked skyward, as we saw a rip of light appear in the sky, almost immediately a giant serpent like Digimon emerged, it looked extremely powerful, but for some reason I trusted it, I didn't think it was going to hurt us.
"Azulongmon!" Davis yelled.
I could only assume that was the giant serpent Digimon's name. After Azulongmon had emerged from the rip of light, a second Digimon emerged as well, one that most of us recognized.
"Baihumon!" I yelled.
"Let us first say that we are very pleased with what you have accomplished," Baihumon said.
"We didn't expect any less or those who were created to rid the world of such dark forces such as Evamon," Azulongmon said.
We didn't need to ask who the other Digimon was, they'd told us enough abut Azulongmon to know, just like they didn't need to ask who Baihumon was, we'd told them enough about him to know.
"What do you mean it's far from over?" Matt asked. "Your not telling us we've got to fight Evamon or someone like him again do you."
"No," Azulongmon said. "The fighting is over, your power is no longer needed."
"Evamon will not be making another appearance," Baihumon said. "We can assure you that he is destroyed."
"Then what do you mean its not over yet?" Elecmon asked, who like the other Digimon had Digivolved over night to their rookie forms.
"It's not over yet because there is still one more thing that needs to be done before the threat is completely over." Azulongmon explained.
"Evamon may be defeated but the force that created him still poses a threat."
"You mean the dark world?" Joe said.
"Yes," Baihumon answered. "The Dark world has existed since the dawn of time, even before Earth existed, and during that time it never once posed a threat to earth or the Digital World."
"That wasn't until Evamon's alter ego Evan Chenk, accidently opened the gate to that Dark World," Azulongmon said. "It was not Evamon himself that was presented the threat, it was the dark beings within the Dark World that attacked him and used his body that threatened both worlds, Evan's intentions were initially good, to unite the two worlds in hope for peace, it was the beings within the Dark World that attacked him and changed him so he threatened the dark world."
"So you're saying we've got to destroy these Dark beings?" Tai asked.
"No!" Baihumon yelled. "Those Dark beings are evil true, but they are just as important as the beings of light that created you. A world that is engulfed in Darkness if horrible, it leads to a world of horror and terror, but a world engulfed in light is just as bad, it leads to unready ness, and eventually destruction. It is the balance of darkness and light that is ideal, both the beings of light and darkness and light are important for the survival of earth and the Digital World."
"These beings should not be destroyed, but rather they should be contained." Azulongmon said. "Thus we need your help to permanently seal off the Dark World, thus no human or Digimon will never be able to enter it again like Evan did and an evil creature like Evamon will never appear again."
"I have a feeling we're not going to like the way you're planning on sealing the Dark World." Dan said.
"To seal the Dark World we will need to take the power of your crests," Baihumon said.
"Last time you did that Evamon got a hold of the crests before they could make a seal!" Tai yelled. "Then we were left defenseless when Ken attacked."
"Yes we admit a mistake was made then," Azulongmon said. "But at that point we assumed that Evamon was defeated, thus we took advantage of it and took your crests, but we have thoroughly searched, Earth, the Dark World and we can assure you that not one trace of Evamon remains. You saw Evamon destroyed with your own eyes didn't you?"
"Okay," Tai said. "All I know is there's a one and a million chance that another human or Digimon will get sucked into the Dark world, but as long as there's that one chance the world is still in danger, and I won't be able to sleep peacefully until there's a zero percent chance of an evil like Evamon appearing again, I don't know about you guys but I'm going to give up my crest so I can sleep peacefully."
"I'm with you Tai," I said. "Sure I won't see Saberleomon again, and I won't be able to Bio Digivolve anymore hey but there's still the Champion state."
One by one the rest of our team slowly agreed, the only one that didn't was Emily, seeing as her crest has gone, all she held now was a blank tag, which was a good thing of course, if her crest of Darkness was gone that meant so was the Darkness within her, which meant she was finally on our side.
"It is nice of you all to offer," Azulongmon said. "But with Evamon defeated the seal to the Dark World is not as strong as it was when the tyrant was alive, not all of your crests are needed we only need eleven to seal the Dark World forever."
"And we have decided to allow the newest Digidestined to keep their crests," Baihumon said. "The eight Canadian Digidestined and Ken owner of the crest of Kindness may keep their crests."
"That's not fair," Davis whined. "How come they get theirs?"
"Uh didn't they just explain why?" Veemon said.
"Stop whining Davis, it's not like we need them anymore." Kari said.
That immediately shut Davis up.
"What do you need us to do?" Tai asked.
"Nothing," Azulongmon answered as the eleven crests of the Japanese Digidestined floated from their necks up to the height where the two guardian Digimon where floating just before they transformed into a single beam of light that shot into the sky. "That beam is on its way to the Dark World, in a matter of seconds the Dark World will be sealed off as well as any threat of someone succeeding Evamon."
"Thank you Digidestined for saving both worlds. Now that Evamon is defeated your fight is over. Have a nice rest you truly need and deserve it."
With that the two guardian Digimon disappeared into the rip of light, as mysteriously as they had appeared, which immediately closed behind them.
"Well that was a drag," Davis whined. "I finally get a crest and it gets taken away almost as quickly as I got it."
"So I guess this is really it," I said. "Now we go our separate ways."
Tai laughed. "Isn't that what we said after we defeated Diaboromon."
"Looks like this time it actually is over, I mean even the guardians of the Digital World say so."
"Yeah you've got a point, and I've gotta say I've enjoyed leading this team with you, it's been an honour. There's no question why you were chosen to be the leader of your group, you led well you're every bit as good as you think I am." Tai said holding out his hand.
"Thanks," I said shaking his hand. "I can say the same thing about you."
Our handshake eventually broke and Tai went back to his team. Biyomon Digivolved to Birdramon, Exveemon and Stingmon DNA Digivolved, and the two hopped on the two Digimon's back in two groups of six, as soon took off.
All twelve of our new friends waved as they flew away; while we waved back until eventually they became a dot in the sky.
So this was it our allies from Japan were on their way back home, and the fight was over. But even though they were gone now we were still Digidestined, we were a team, and I knew without a doubt our paths were destined to cross one day.

"Wow," Jenn said admiring the new stereo system I'd set up in my room. "When did you get this?"
"A couple days ago," I said. "My parents helped me pay for it as a reward for helping to save the world."
She laughed. "So I guess there is an advantage to having your parents know about this whole thing huh?"
"Yeah of course there is," I said. "You don't have to lie, sneak around, plus when you do good in your job you get cool electronic equipment."
It had been a week since the Japanese Digidestined had left, and what a week! Our town had gone into a huge panic wondering what disaster was going to happen next. The fight with Evamon had officially been declared as a freak tornado, however the majority of the town didn't believe that was true. Different explanations spread throughout the town. Some thought it was some sort of alien attack, some thought it was ghosts, and others claimed what was actually true, that it was a monster attack. There were no solid facts to what had happened, several websites were posted spreading wide and blown rumors, but of all those millions of websites only one was close to true. One, which claimed that an evil force had attacked earth, and a resistance group consisting of twenty kids and twenty monsters stopped them, the same group that had stopped the monster, attacks in Odaiba three years ago.
Fortunately it hadn't mentioned any names, so our private lives remained the same. All our lives had changed as a result of those attacks, but none of which were changed as much as Emily and Andrew's. Things had only gotten better for them. It didn't just get better instantly; this wasn't some sappy fairy tale. Their father was an alcoholic and he couldn't just give it up. The reappearance of their mother had helped though, and after Emily, Andrew, Blackgatomon, and Demidevimon explained everything to both of their parents, things slowly began to get better. They're house was slightly less dilapidated, well it was as good as it could get within a week, within time it could become a decent place to live again, and in a few days their father would be leaving to a clinic to help him get over his drinking problem. Their lives weren't perfect but they had gotten better.
"Hello Kris you in there?" Jenn asked waving her hand in front of my face.
"Sorry," I said snapping out of my thoughts and back into reality. "Zoned out for a bit."
"So have you tested this stereo out yet?" she asked.
"Not yet," I said approaching my brand new stereo. "I just got it set up this morning. I was hoping the two of us could test it out."
"What do you have in mind?" she asked as a seductive grin grew on her face.
I didn't say anything; I just pushed play on the stereo beginning a very slow romantic song, then extended my hand. "Care to dance?"
"Love to," she said taking my hand.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist, and we began to dance to the slow song.
"You know this war wasn't been all-great," she said. "But I'm kind of glad it happened."
"I know exactly what you mean," I said. "If it hadn't we never would have gotten together. I'd thank Evamon if he wasn't dead."
She giggled as we continued to dance along to the song, however we didn't last for too much longer, soon our lips met into a passionate kiss, and we couldn't concentrate on anything else. As I melted into the kiss I couldn't help but think about what she had just said. She was absolutely right, I was glad the war had happened, it allowed me to meet my best friend Elecmon, and even more friends, and of course the best of all allowed me to get closer to the Jenn, the girl I'd deeply in love with.
The war was over, I had great friends, and I was in the arms of the girl I loved, I could say without a doubt in my mind that my life couldn't possibly get any better.
-----------------------------
And thus Part 3 drags to a close, but don't worry this isn't the final Chapter, you'll get more don't worry, at least eight more chapters, but I have realized that I'm nearing the end…what I'm I going to write when I finish! Aaah! Oh well I'll figure something out. I have no idea when Chapter 40 (and the beginning of Part four) will come out maybe a while maybe soon. You'll just have to see.

"Yes," Baihumon answered. "The Dark world has existed since the dawn of time, even before Earth existed, and during that time it never once posed a threat to earth or the Digital World."
"That wasn't until Evamon's alter ego Evan Chenk, accidently opened the gate to that Dark World," Azulongmon said. "It was not Evamon himself that was presented the threat, it was the dark beings within the Dark World that attacked him and used his body that threatened both worlds, Evan's intentions were initially good, to unite the two worlds in hope for peace, it was the beings within the Dark World that attacked him and changed him so he threatened the dark world."
"So you're saying we've got to destroy these Dark beings?" Tai asked.
"No!" Baihumon yelled. "Those Dark beings are evil true, but they are just as important as the beings of light that created you. A world that is engulfed in Darkness if horrible, it leads to a world of horror and terror, but a world engulfed in light is just as bad, it leads to unready ness, and eventually destruction. It is the balance of darkness and light that is ideal, both the beings of light and darkness and light are important for the survival of earth and the Digital World."
"These beings should not be destroyed, but rather they should be contained." Azulongmon said. "Thus we need your help to permanently seal off the Dark World, thus no human or Digimon will never be able to enter it again like Evan did and an evil creature like Evamon will never appear again."
"I have a feeling we're not going to like the way you're planning on sealing the Dark World." Dan said.
"To seal the Dark World we will need to take the power of your crests," Baihumon said.
"Last time you did that Evamon got a hold of the crests before they could make a seal!" Tai yelled. "Then we were left defenseless when Ken attacked."
"Yes we admit a mistake was made then," Azulongmon said. "But at that point we assumed that Evamon was defeated, thus we took advantage of it and took your crests, but we have thoroughly searched, Earth, the Dark World and we can assure you that not one trace of Evamon remains. You saw Evamon destroyed with your own eyes didn't you?"
"Okay," Tai said. "All I know is there's a one and a million chance that another human or Digimon will get sucked into the Dark world, but as long as there's that one chance the world is still in danger, and I won't be able to sleep peacefully until there's a zero percent chance of an evil like Evamon appearing again, I don't know about you guys but I'm going to give up my crest so I can sleep peacefully."
"I'm with you Tai," I said. "Sure I won't see Saberleomon again, and I won't be able to Bio Digivolve anymore hey but there's still the Champion state."
One by one the rest of our team slowly agreed, the only one that didn't was Emily, seeing as her crest has gone, all she held now was a blank tag, which was a good thing of course, if her crest of Darkness was gone that meant so was the Darkness within her, which meant she was finally on our side.
"It is nice of you all to offer," Azulongmon said. "But with Evamon defeated the seal to the Dark World is not as strong as it was when the tyrant was alive, not all of your crests are needed we only need eleven to seal the Dark World forever."
"And we have decided to allow the newest Digidestined to keep their crests," Baihumon said. "The eight Canadian Digidestined and Ken owner of the crest of Kindness may keep their crests."
"That's not fair," Davis whined. "How come they get theirs?"
"Uh didn't they just explain why?" Veemon said.
"Stop whining Davis, it's not like we need them anymore." Kari said.
That immediately shut Davis up.
"What do you need us to do?" Tai asked.
"Nothing," Azulongmon answered as the eleven crests of the Japanese Digidestined floated from their necks up to the height where the two guardian Digimon where floating just before they transformed into a single beam of light that shot into the sky. "That beam is on its way to the Dark World, in a matter of seconds the Dark World will be sealed off as well as any threat of someone succeeding Evamon."
"Thank you Digidestined for saving both worlds. Now that Evamon is defeated your fight is over. Have a nice rest you truly need and deserve it."
With that the two guardian Digimon disappeared into the rip of light, as mysteriously as they had appeared, which immediately closed behind them.
"Well that was a drag," Davis whined. "I finally get a crest and it gets taken away almost as quickly as I got it."
"So I guess this is really it," I said. "Now we go our separate ways."
Tai laughed. "Isn't that what we said after we defeated Diaboromon."
"Looks like this time it actually is over, I mean even the guardians of the Digital World say so."
"Yeah you've got a point, and I've gotta say I've enjoyed leading this team with you, it's been an honour. There's no question why you were chosen to be the leader of your group, you led well you're every bit as good as you think I am." Tai said holding out his hand.
"Thanks," I said shaking his hand. "I can say the same thing about you."
Our handshake eventually broke and Tai went back to his team. Biyomon Digivolved to Birdramon, Exveemon and Stingmon DNA Digivolved, and the two hopped on the two Digimon's back in two groups of six, as soon took off.
All twelve of our new friends waved as they flew away; while we waved back until eventually they became a dot in the sky.
So this was it our allies from Japan were on their way back home, and the fight was over. But even though they were gone now we were still Digidestined, we were a team, and I knew without a doubt our paths were destined to cross one day.

"Wow," Jenn said admiring the new stereo system I'd set up in my room. "When did you get this?"
"A couple days ago," I said. "My parents helped me pay for it as a reward for helping to save the world."
She laughed. "So I guess there is an advantage to having your parents know about this whole thing huh?"
"Yeah of course there is," I said. "You don't have to lie, sneak around, plus when you do good in your job you get cool electronic equipment."
It had been a week since the Japanese Digidestined had left, and what a week! Our town had gone into a huge panic wondering what disaster was going to happen next. The fight with Evamon had officially been declared as a freak tornado, however the majority of the town didn't believe that was true. Different explanations spread throughout the town. Some thought it was some sort of alien attack, some thought it was ghosts, and others claimed what was actually true, that it was a monster attack. There were no solid facts to what had happened, several websites were posted spreading wide and blown rumors, but of all those millions of websites only one was close to true. One, which claimed that an evil force had attacked earth, and a resistance group consisting of twenty kids and twenty monsters stopped them, the same group that had stopped the monster, attacks in Odaiba three years ago.
Fortunately it hadn't mentioned any names, so our private lives remained the same. All our lives had changed as a result of those attacks, but none of which were changed as much as Emily and Andrew's. Things had only gotten better for them. It didn't just get better instantly; this wasn't some sappy fairy tale. Their father was an alcoholic and he couldn't just give it up. The reappearance of their mother had helped though, and after Emily, Andrew, Blackgatomon, and Demidevimon explained everything to both of their parents, things slowly began to get better. They're house was slightly less dilapidated, well it was as good as it could get within a week, within time it could become a decent place to live again, and in a few days their father would be leaving to a clinic to help him get over his drinking problem. Their lives weren't perfect but they had gotten better.
"Hello Kris you in there?" Jenn asked waving her hand in front of my face.
"Sorry," I said snapping out of my thoughts and back into reality. "Zoned out for a bit."
"So have you tested this stereo out yet?" she asked.
"Not yet," I said approaching my brand new stereo. "I just got it set up this morning. I was hoping the two of us could test it out."
"What do you have in mind?" she asked as a seductive grin grew on her face.
I didn't say anything; I just pushed play on the stereo beginning a very slow romantic song, then extended my hand. "Care to dance?"
"Love to," she said taking my hand.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist, and we began to dance to the slow song.
"You know this war wasn't been all-great," she said. "But I'm kind of glad it happened."
"I know exactly what you mean," I said. "If it hadn't we never would have gotten together. I'd thank Evamon if he wasn't dead."
She giggled as we continued to dance along to the song, however we didn't last for too much longer, soon our lips met into a passionate kiss, and we couldn't concentrate on anything else. As I melted into the kiss I couldn't help but think about what she had just said. She was absolutely right, I was glad the war had happened, it allowed me to meet my best friend Elecmon, and even more friends, and of course the best of all allowed me to get closer to the Jenn, the girl I'd deeply in love with.
The war was over, I had great friends, and I was in the arms of the girl I loved, I could say without a doubt in my mind that my life couldn't possibly get any better.
-----------------------------
And thus Part 3 drags to a close, but don't worry this isn't the final Chapter, you'll get more don't worry, at least eight more chapters, but I have realized that I'm nearing the end…what I'm I going to write when I finish! Aaah! Oh well I'll figure something out. I have no idea when Chapter 40 (and the beginning of Part four) will come out maybe a while maybe soon. You'll just have to see.
