The Struggle: Chapter 8
A/N: Sorry if the last chapter sucked, I hope that this one will be better. I have to skip ahead for a reason, to keep the plot going, and to keep the story interesting. Please read and review, even if you didn't like the chapter, I would like to know ways to improve my story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Wormmon: *crying* IT WAS SO SAD!!!
heath 999: Are you glad I finished it like the I did now?
Wormmon: Yes, I'm glad.
heath 999: Where's Ken?
Wormmon: He's still staring at the television screen. I think he's in shock.
heath 999: Oh.
Wormmon: You seem depressed.
heath 999: I am, nobody reviewed from my last chapter, I'm afraid I lost both of them.
Wormmon: I'm sure somebody will review.
heath 999: I hope so, please read and review.

Same Place: Same Time
~Meghan's POV~
"Everyone get out of the way!" I yell, trying to get everyone to safety before the attack hits, knowing that I didn't have enough time...
"Spiking Strike!"
I let out a gasp of relief when Stingmon's attack diverts Blackwargreymon's attack away from us.
"Tigermon! Armor Digivolve!" I yell.
A beam of silver light shoots from my digivice going to my D-terminal, and my single armor egg comes out, "Digi-Armor Energize!" is the two words that come out of my mouth.
"Tigermon Armor digivolve to: Cougarmon, the cry of Loyalty!"
Cougarmon is taller than Raidramon, but not as big as Panthermon. His silver armor covers his head, chest and body, showing his black and orange stripes beneath the armor, and on his legs and trademark tail. The crest of loyalty is on the back of his head, only seen when he is not facing you.
"Try your best," I say encouragingly, knowing that's the only thing I can say to him considering he's fighting a Mega.
"What made you come back?" I ask Ken questioningly, tearing my eyes away from the slaughter that was happening on the battlefield.
"Well, uh, I thought about the team, and I finally took your advice about it." Ken starts.
"Good."
"Terra Destroyer!"
The explosion is enormous, and the last thing I remember is hitting my head on a rock.

At the last Destiny Stone: A month later
My mouth is hanging open.
I don't believe it.
One of the guardians here, protecting the world.
Azulongmon.
"Meghan?"
'I don't believe it, I heard about them in legends, but I heard that they don't make contact with the digidestined,' I think as I stare at the guardian.
"Meghan!"
'They keep out of affairs, leaving only the digidestined to battle the evil, and never interfere unless if there's a real danger.'
"MEGHAN!"
Startled out of my thoughts, I look at the others, "Yes?"
"Who's that?" Davis asks, speaking for the group.
"Azulongmon, the keeper of the spheres of Light and Hope, and the guardian of the Eastern Hemisphere."
Everyone stares at me, "You mean there's more than one guardian? The other one being you?"
"There are five to be exact, Davis, including me."
Azulongmon turns to me, "It is good to see you healthy and well, the last time I saw you was when I opened the portal for you to come to protect the digital world."
I stare at him, "You did that?"
"Yes, and I am also the one who got you out of the jam in the forest. Too bad Myotismon got his claws on you before me and the other guardians could stop him."
I glare at him, angry beyond words, "You mean, that if you kept an eye on me, everything that has happened to me wouldn't have happened?" I say very quietly with a slight edge in my voice.
There is silence, as time seems to stop.
Azulongmon is thinking: 'This is going to go down bad no matter how I put this.'
Finally, after what seems hours, the shoe is dropped down: "Yes."
I don't say anything; I just turn my heel and leave, heading back to the real world.

Somewhere else: Hours later
~General POV~
It is a fabric of time.
Nothing else.
Four beings float around a rock, jutting out of a non-existing ground.
There is one figure on the rock.
Gennai.
"Well, that went well," one of the beings spoke.
"You don't have to be sarcastic," says Gennai sharply.
"Oh yeah, informing the fifth guardian that it was our faults about what happened eight years ago was brilliant. Why don't we also tell her what that monster implanted in her? Or tell Ken that he has a dark spore in his body that made him the Digimon Emperor? I'm sure that they will react well to that news also. Why don't we just try to destroy the digidestined group before they destroy Arukenimon, let alone who created her?" Ebuwonmon retorts.
"Look, I'll talk to Meghan, but Azulongmon, you did sure screw things up by telling her that we didn't try to stop Myotismon from taking her." Gennai answers.
"I know, but someone had to tell her, she still can't keep blaming herself on things that never happened. She still does that, not as often as before, but she does. All of us should know the consequences from Ken." Azulongmon says in defense.
"It is a pity, she was really getting to Ken before this." Baihumon says.
"Yes, she was." Gennai says with a sigh.

Meghan's Apartment: That night
~Meghan's POV~
I refuse any phone calls and e-mails from the digidestined.
Why?
Why did they do that to me?
"Meghan?"
"Yes Tigermon?"
"Why don't you forgive and forget about what happened?"
I look at him, seeing the anguish in his blue eyes, probably the same anguish in my eyes.
"Because-"
A knock interrupts what I was going, "Meghan? Can I speak to you?" My mom's voice speaks a moment later.
"Yes."
"What happened?" There is no beating around the bush; she goes straight to the point.
"It could've been stopped, I could've lived a normal life, instead of living with that monster. I always believed it was something that couldn't be prevented, and now I was told today by someone that was watching everything that happened during that time, that it could've been prevented if they kept a better eye on me."
She just hugs me, and the only sound that fills the room is the sobs that come from both of us.
TBC.

A/N: Well, that was a twist at the last minute. The next chapter will be up soon, until then, I'm hoping for reviews, so please read and review.
