Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. Never have, never will. If I ever do end up owning Digimon, rest assured that the story of the first five DigiDestined will be told, though it may not be the story you just read. However, I do own all of the original characters and all of the Digimon except for Tapirmon and his digivolutions, Biyomon and her digivolutions, Digitamamon, and Wizardmon. I think whoever owns Digimon owns the rest.
A/N: Well, its finally here! The Epilogue! *breaks down and sobs for a moment* Its been months to get here, but its worth it. Read on and enjoy the last part of "Tale of the Original DigiDestined". Be sure to read whats at the bottom. It pertains to the sequel(s). By the way, is anyone sad or upset that I killed off nearly half my characters?

~Jesse's voice~
"I was surprised to see SilverWarriormon emerge from the mere seconds after Brian and myself had exited. He was battered and soon reverted to Heromon, but he said that he had managed to defeat the Beast of Darkness. With the Beast's power split and divided, as well as his consciousness, he was no longer a threat. After burying Brian, Heromon and I returned to the Digital World, where we found Gennai as an old man. He told us what happened after we had left the underground base and what had become of the emergence of the Beast of Darkness. Time and Space had been warped, and would not return to normal until the next evil came from beyond the Wall of Fire."
"He told me the fate that had awaited us first five DigiDestined. Had we survived, we were to have taken to policing the various worlds. Apparently there were worlds beyond our world and the Digital World and they needed champions of good. But with the death of four out of the five of us, that was no longer a possibility. The worlds would just have to get along as best they could without us."
"Heromon was appalled at the idea. Warp Digivolving into SilverWarriormon had somewhat of a maturing effect on him. He was no longer rebellious and carefree. Now he had a serious edge to him whenever it was needed. It was comforting."
"Gennai was surprised when Heromon and I volunteered to take up the job of protecting the worlds anyway. He told us it was too much of a job for a lone human and Digimon to do. Five humans and Digimon were the minimum needed. And he couldn't just go out and recruit four more. The Guardians were sealed away, and Seraphimon was still a Digi Egg under the care of Elecmon."
"Still, Heromon and I persisted. Innocent people and Digimon needed protecting, and we were the only ones capable of the job. We could still get the help of the Digimon of the other four DigiDestined, but then Gennai told us what happened."
"Apparently, since they were all at the Mega level when their partner died, they reverted to the level that they were the most comfortable with. Samantha's little Biyomon remained the majestic and powerful Phoenixmon. Daniel's Tapirmon remained just that: a Tapirmon. Brian's Magimon became a Wizardmon and apparently his heart was beginning to harden. James' Eggmon had become a Digitamamon and was opening up a chain of restaurants all over the Digital World, with a Vegiemon helping out with his main restaurant and Tapirmon helping him with the one in DigiChinatown."
"Gennai then told us that with the death of their partners, each Digimon had lost its memory. They remembered nothing of their previous lives. It would be a cruel fate to reveal to them what they had lost. We vowed only to do it as a last resort. We would avoid our old friends at all costs."
"We took to policing the various worlds quite well. We couldn't bother the real world, since the major players in its coming change were not yet ready, and some had not even been born yet. The Dark Ocean was a favorite of ours, since we could face the darkness that had nearly consumed us at our leisure. It took decades, but we eventually built up a total resistance to its dark lure, to its vile taint. Or so we had thought."
"We only bothered the Digital World when the Dark Masters were getting overzealous. They never realized that Heromon and myself were still alive, let alone back in the Digital World. Poor Digitamamon eventually fell under their sway."
"We took an interest to protecting the Digimon of the future DigiDestined. We found Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon and placed them under the Digi Eggs of Courage, Love, and Knowledge. Eventually, Salamon's Digi Egg hatched and she started traveling. We silently guided her to becoming stronger and eventually she naturally digivolved into the formidable and yet still cuddly looking Gatomon. To our surprise and greatest pleasure, Gatomon eventually came across Wizardmon and made friends with him."
"It wasn't until I was around two hundred years old due to the time distortion of the Digital World that I realized I wasn't aging. I had been so caught up in work I never even realized it. I went to Gennai and hoped he knew what was going on."
"Gennai explained that each Crest had its own power through the one who wielded it. For example, the Crest of Friendship could help those who were friends of its bearer. The Crest of Hope would bring about Digimon that brought forth hope in its truest, most divine and pure form: angels and seraphim. The Crest of Light had nearly limitless possibilities. Not even Gennai knew what they all were."
"He told me that my Crest, the Crest of Life, would keep me young and alive and healthy for as long as I could make its light shine. But then there were the Crest Weapons. Each one had a specific ability. Compassion shielded others from mostly anything, Faith could drive away even the darkest thoughts and entities, Perseverance could lend strength to the weary, and Courage would bring forth many more warriors of good. And the Crest Weapon of Honor could enable its wielder to fight like a Digimon."
"It took me nearly a year, but I finally figured out how to work the true power of the Crest Weapon of Honor. I searched for the other Crest weapons, in hopes to finding suitable wielders among the new DigiDestined, but they were impossible to find. I found all of the Digi Eggs, but found none that I was able to use. Not that it mattered to me. Armor Digivolving was ancient and not as powerful as an Ultimate level Digimon in most cases and never as strong as a Mega."
"As millennia passed in the Digital World, I watched the real world carefully, waiting for the time when the next generation of DigiDestined took up the reigns."
"And when it happened, I was not disappointed. They were successful in defeat not only Devimon, a third of the Beast of Darkness, and Myotismon in his Mega form, the part of the three-way split of the Beast that was most like the Beast, but they had defeated the Dark Masters and Apocalymon without needing my help at all!"
"But it came at a price. Leomon, Pixiemon, Whamon, and Wizardmon all perished. I cursed the Beast, for in the end he had truly destroyed Wizardmon: he had taken away his partner and friend, his memory of happy times, the softness and light that made us all smile, and in the end, his life."
"Less than a year after the defeat of Apocalymon, the DigiDestined battled Diaboramon over the internet. This was one battle I had no clue how to fight, for I could not enter the internet. The appearance of Omnimon startled me, for he was supposed to be one of the mightiest Digimon who would ever live."
"Later that same year, not even a month after the Diaboramon battle, a boy from another dimension appeared with a Monodramon for his partner. He met up with the ninth new generation DigiDestined to have a Crest, and the two became fast friends. But the inter-dimensional traveler was not a DigiDestined. Through the powers of Seraphimon that I got from my Crest Weapon, I turned his D-Arc into a Digivice. In the end, these two little boys fought and defeated one of the mightiest evils that the Digital World had ever known: Milleniummon. The little boy, Ken Ichijouji, was hit by a Dark Spore at the end of the battle. I took him home and then helped Ryo return to his own dimension."
"Two years later, the Digimon Emperor appeared. Heromon and I went to the Dark Ocean, knowing the source of his power. We halted his supply lines as best we could. The guy was super intelligent and totally diabolical. In the end, the new generation of DigiDestined brought young Ichijouji back to the light. But soon they fought the returned Beast of Darkness, who now had his full consciousness in Myotismon and became MaloMyotismon. But the DigiDestined from all over the world, including myself, banded together and stopped him."
"The summer after the defeat of MaloMyotismon, Heromon and I detected another rip in the fabric of Time. This time, however, it truly was up to the younger generation of DigiDestined. I had helped the others along as best I could, from diverting Whamon to their path in the first place to making it so that Sora overheard the conversation between Myotismon and DemiDevimon, all the way to setting up that rope for Tk and Kari to escape from Piedmon. I gently nudged along almost every seemingly random decision they made. But the only thing I had managed to do for the third generation was clear of its Control Spire so Davis and Tk were able to rescue Kari."
"But during this battle, they truly made me proud to call them my eventually successors. They were able to defeat Cherubimon, one of the mightiest Angel Digimon of all. If not for the Virus, they would have completely overwhelmed him."
"And the appearance of two Golden Armor Digimon surprised even me, and when I told Gennai of it he was speechless for once. He then told me that the Golden Armor Digivolving was similar to Warp Digivolving, only it to a Digimon to its Ultimate level instead of its Mega and it provided the Digimon with a Holy aspect, an enhancement that proved invaluable in fighting the Viral Cherubimon."
"Even though the Beast of Darkness has been defeated and hopefully destroyed for good, there is still evil in the worlds. Its up to me and Heromon to make sure that they do not spill over into the real or Digital Worlds.Oikawa's ghost talks to me and Heromon sometimes, giving us support and sometimes just talking to us."
"Its been nearly nine years in the real world since myself and the other four original DigiDestined had been drawn into the Digital World. I let my family think I was dead so I would not be hindered by emotional ties that could foul me up somewhere down the line. When my job was done, then I could worry about emotional ties. Its been ten years since this started, technically, but for me, its been nearly forty thousand years."
"Welcome to my job."
"Welcome to my life."
"Welcome to my own personal Hell."
"But most importantly, welcome to the Digital World."

SW: Yippee! Its over! Goodbye icy computer room and hello sunshine and freedom!
*muses grab the author and drag him back*
SW: What? No! Help! Traitors!
Heromon: Give it up boss. You still have a sequel to post.
Brian: Two sequel, to be precise. Two different possible sequels.
SW: Do I hafta?"
Heromon: Well, its up to you. You did say you were posting them both.
SW: But I don't know which one to post first? I've barely started "REturn", which was my original sequel, and I've hit a block in "Digital Adventure".
Samantha: Ask your loyal readers. Surely they have more brians than you and know where you should take this series.
SW: Alrighty then. Okay reviewers, listen up. I don't know which sequel to post first. One is "Return of the Original DigiDestined". It features Jesse meeting with the second and third generations of DigiDestined and enlisting their help in stopping an ancient evil reborn. Take it away Heromon.
Heromon: The other fic was written on an idea given to him by the author known as Darkstar. It stars Davis' sometimes lamebrain, always boy-hungry, sister Jun. Lets take a look and see what happens when she gets sucked into the Digital World and can't get out and ends up meeting Jesse and myself.
SW: Tell me in a review which you want, but an e-mail is always welcome as long as it isn't a virus.
Heromon: Aren't you still mucking around this load of junk fixing everyithign up from the last virus you received.
SW: I didn't receive it! The former owner of the hardware was some kind of computer nut and designed that virus, which I accidentaly set loose on my computer.
Daniel: Didn't it also eat the original copy of "Return"?
SW: No, that was me once I printed it out.
James: ....... I do not want any more information from that line of talk.
SW: Ganging up on me, eh? Well, toodles folks! I gotta get started on revamping my web site as well as "Return of the Original DigiDestined". My writing style has improved so much and I started writing this story around Chapter Five of this one. Talk about differences!
Heromon: Well, please review or e-mail the author at silver_warrior12@yahoo.com. He graciously awaits any and all responses. And its cold around here at the moment with all the snow, so flames will be appreciated as well.
SW: Just donm't insult my fic too much. I'll gladly accept any and all criticism as long as you don't just flat-out slam my work.
A/N: Well, its finally here! The Epilogue! *breaks down and sobs for a moment* Its been months to get here, but its worth it. Read on and enjoy the last part of "Tale of the Original DigiDestined".
