The light left them in a canyon. They could see behind them the forest they had just left. Tai looked at the group to make sure they were all right.
"What's your name?" Kari asked the girl
"Ileana Chapelle. I'm sure your friend Genai has told you a lot about me." She replied
"No actually he didn't. He told us that you were 17 and that you had no parents and that you're not Japanese." Tai said
"I'm 18. The rest of it's true.who are you?" she asked him
" I'm Tai and this is my sister Kari." Tai pointed at Matt and TK "Over here we've got-"
"Hi!" Ileana suddenly brightened up and hugged the two brothers "Do you have my crest?" she asked TK
"Wait a minute! You guys know each other?" Kari asked
"Let's just say we're connected in a way."
"Yes" TK answered and took out the box that had gotten them to the digital world
"What's that?" Tai and Kari asked in unison.
"My crest. The source of my power. Or at least half of it." Ileana replied while slipping it over her head.
The movement brought attention to her tattoo. It was located on her left shoulder blade. It was a strange symbol that hadn't been noticed before.
"You have a tattoo." Tai commented
"Obviously." Matt shook his head at the stupidity of his friend.
"Why do you have it?" TK asked, "I haven't see it before"
"That's because I used to cover it up. You've noticed now that I haven't got a digimon with me. Actually I do but I can't exactly get her until later. I can defeat digimon because of this marking. I'm one out of the two people in the world with it. I can draw powers and summon elemental forces to defeat evil digimon. Basically it makes me a supreme being. It's hard sometimes though. You can't save the people you want at times. Although it does comes in really handy with healing. I specialize in all areas of magic. I can do black magic, white magic, shamanism, and a lot of other things. I can materialize objects and I can do teleportation and levitation. I'm also telepathic or psychic, whichever you prefer to use." She explained.
"What about the other person with the marking?" Tai asked
"He's supposed to be her soul mate." Matt said while avoiding Ileana's glance at him
"He hasn't fully awakened to the power yet. When he does, he'll have the same marking as me" Ileana said
"Hey! Ileana?" Tai said as a question popped into his head
She motioned for him to continue.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked teasingly
"N-" she started
"We used to date until she disappeared." Matt said
"We can still try to make it work." She said but shrugged, "It doesn't really matter to me."
"You'd better get back together." TK said and winked, "Matt has brooded a lot in the last couple of years since you left."
She smiled at Matt who was scowling at TK.
"We'll try." She turned and pointed to a cave beside the forest. "We can rest there."

"AAAAAAHHH!" Yolei screamed. "What is that thing?"
"It's called a Zairamon. It looks for power to draw from. It then uses the most powerful attack it can summon and kills off its enemy." Joe said while motioning for them behind a bush.
The Zairamon looked like a unicorn. It was black and huge. Its eyes were red and it had a six-pointed star on it.
"I don't know about you but I think we should run." Mimi's voice rose at the last part.
Davis ran down the path where Kari, Matt, Tai, TK, and Ileana were earlier. The rest of the group followed.

Sora, Ken, Izzy, and Cody had found the cave where TK, Tai, Matt, Kari, and Ileana were. That was, after bumping into the other group of kids. Fortunately all of the digidestined's digimon were there. They had each reunited joyfully and while Ileana was being explained to everyone, she was updating everyone's crests on a laptop.
"We didn't ask before, but what exactly is your crest?" Kari asked
"Heaven." She responded
The destined children all had a blank looks on their faces.
"I control all that is good. Heaven is also linked with life so some digimon call me The Life of Heaven." She pointed to the wall of the cave beside her and made a circular motion. Green sparks followed in a trail until the ends met. The sparks settled on the wall forming the same symbol on her arm, before dying out.
"That is what my crest looks like. When I defeat Zairamon that is when it will show on my necklace." She said while pointing to it.
"Why didn't you beat him before?" Joe asked
"I sensed Kari's crest." She replied, "Light is linked to Heaven. Heaven is linked to light. Now that you know I exist, your crests are stronger because of the extra power I enabled to them."
"So.can you destroy the world?" Mimi asked
"Yes I could if I wanted to" Ileana responded
"How do we know that you won't turn your back on us?" Agumon asked
"I can only ask that you trust me. If you don't, that's your problem, not mine."
"What do you mean by summoning elemental forces?" Tai asked
"She means that she can summon elemental guardians. Each element has a guardian. Fire has a lion, ice has a wolf, water has a mermaid creature, wind has an eagle, and lightning is the twin wolf of ice." Matt said
"How do you know that?" Gabumon asked Matt
"I don't know.I mean-I just knew somehow." he said, trailing off
"Actually.I am also an elemental guardian. I am Holy, the life giver. My soul is a phoenix." Ileana said
"Are you a human?" Wormmon asked
"Yes but I have been.blessed with these powers. Before you comment on how lucky I am, everyone has a destiny. Mine is a little.different." She said
"What do you mean different?" Sora asked
"You have to save the world. So do I. But I have to make a choice. When the phoenix dies to give life, it can be reborn as a phoenix again. However, if the phoenix did not prove itself worthy, it will become the Dragon of Death. The dragon grants death as I give life. Until my first phoenix dies, I will not know who the dragon is. But for some reason, my phoenix did die and I still do not know who the dragon is." Ileana explained
"Who's your phoenix?" Cody asked
"My digimon. Anyway I think you should all get some rest. Tomorrow will be a long day."
The light left them in a canyon. They could see behind them the forest they had just left. Tai looked at the group to make sure they were all right.
