The Struggle: Epilogue

A/N: I enjoyed writing this series, but I didn't realize how much work it takes to keep it going. I want to thank Ken's luver and Crystal of psyche of reviewing. Especially Ken's luver, whose been reviewing ever since the first chapter. Also, I'm not going to write for a while, not until college break starts again.

Disclaimer: Digimon ain't mine.

Ken: It's over?

heath 999: *crying* Yes, and I'm going to miss it so much.

Wormmon: There, there, you still have other sick and twisted sub-stories for this one.

heath 999: You're right, please read and review.

Real world: A half-hour ago

~Tai's POV~

"MEGHAN!!!"

"Calm down, Tai, I'm sure that she's still alive." Sora says, as frantic as Tai is.

"I hope so, she has been through so much, and I don't want to see her die now, especially since she's so special to me." I say, tears streaming down my face.

Digital World: Right after the battle with Malomyotismon

~Ken's POV~

"She's"

"MEGHAN!!!"

"Tai! How did you get here?" Kari asks surprise ringing in her voice.

"I don't know, the digiport suddenly opened on Izzy's computer, and the next thing we knew, we were here. The other digidestined are behind me. Is she okay?" He asks, totally focused on Meghan.

"I don't know, her parents were about to tell us." I say dryly.

"Sorry."

Suddenly a groan emits from the person who's being talked about.

Same place: Same time

~Meghan's POV~

I wish everyone would stop talking.

I have the headache the size of a Monochronmon.

The shouting gets louder after I groan.

I sit up quickly, and the world spins like a top.

"Are you okay?" Tai asks me anxiously.

"As soon as the world stops spinning, yes, and the killer headache goes away." I say, as Joe pushes me gently back to the ground.

"I have to make sure you're okay," Joe explains.

"I was so worried about you when you collapsed like that." Tai murmurs, getting close to me.

"I was worried about myself, too at that point, and the others." I say, looking at him.

He gently kisses me, and the pain is forgotten in that moment.

Digital World: 25 years later

I sit at the edge of a cliff, with Tigermon curled up next to me, watching the digidestined's kids running below, having fun.

Ever since high school, I have been here.

Tai and my parent's have been keeping me company.

Ever since the first time they've gone to the digital world, they were given the choice to come whenever they wanted, being sort of like digidestined.

They came whenever I came.

Then they stayed when I took my place as the fifth guardian, sharing the role with Oikawa, who died and restored the digital world.

The dark spore hasn't been a bother ever since that fateful day, the last battle.

That which I'm grateful of.

"Honey?"

I turn to see Tai, walking towards me. We decided because of our lifestyle to never have children, deciding it was too dangerous an environment for them to grow up in.

"Your parents have already gone down to see the others, let's go meet with them." He says, affectionately kissing me.

Slowly, Tai and me walk towards the adult digidestined.

I know that someday I will die.

But I have faith that the guardians will find another fifth guardian to take my place.

Because there always has to be a fifth guardian.

End
