AUTHOR'S NOTE: The story is now wrapping up, people. I'll be updating this story with a new chapter every single weekend now. It'd be every day, but I got backlogs! Sorry! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's the beginning of the end...

"Renamon..." Jenrya whispered. He felt oddly empty as he stood in front of the building. He realized that Terriermon had left him to comfort Kiiroishi, but that had nothing to do with how he felt.
"Renamon..." he whispered again, his voice growing hoarse. He shut his eyes to block the sudden tears.

Ruki placed her hand on Jenrya's shoulder.
"You can cry, Jen." she said to her old friend. Jenrya shook his head, swallowing the tears.
"No." he said. "No, I won't have something to cry over!" Jenrya went off running with Terriermon.
"Dad!" shouted Kiiroishi, causing the twenty-something to whirl around. The boy grinned.
"You're not letting me in on the fun?" Jenrya, beaming, laughed. "How could I not?"

"Sonic Zephyr!"
"Fox Leaf Arrowhead!"
Renamon let out a cry of pain as she went slamming into the wall of the office. Yamaki went speeding away. "You sacrificing your life for a group of humans, Renamon." Qinglongmon said, stepping up to the spent digimon. "You don't understand!" Renamon protested. Qinglongmon said nothing, his eyes showing surprise at her response. Zhuqiaomon slammed his human hand on her fur.
"They are Humans! Do you not see that? Our enslavers! Cruel, merciless creatures responsible for the perils of our world! Open your eyes!" the Phoenix ranted.

"Open your own...Zhuqiaomon..." Renamon said softly, before passing out. Every single one of the sovereign digimon started at her.
"Well, I suppose it is time we use her data." Ebonwumon said, bowing to the fallen digimon.
"Consider this an honor, vailant Renamon." Ebonwumon said, about to attack.
Suddenly, the door to Yamaki's office blew inwards, almost hitting Baihumon and Qinqlongmon. Standing at the door, glaring, was Jenrya and Kiiroishi. Zhuqiaomon turned his gaze away from Renamon, and glared with a look of complete hatred on his face. Jenrya and Kiiroishi returned the glare full force.
In the corner of his eye, Kiiroishi saw Ebonwumon. He was still quite ready to load Renamon's data.
"Dad!" Kiiroishi cried out. Alerted, Jenrya lost his gaze with Zhuqiaomon and ran full speed towards Ebonwumon. With a flick of his wrist, Ebonwumon sent Jenrya flying to the ground. Kiiroishi let out a roar of rage, but was held back by the Tiger.

"You're going to fight for her, half-breed?" Baihumon asked the hybrid. Kiiroishi nodded.
"And you too?" the Tiger asked Jenrya, who also nodded as he pulled himself upwards.
Baihumon looked at the others. "So then...?" he inquired, receiving nods from the others.
Baihumon faced Jenrya and Kiiroishi with a grave expression his face.
"If you are willing to fight for her, you must prove it. Take her place. Go to our world."

Then father and son both fell into a digital abyss.
