DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters. All are property of Sunrise and their respective parties. Digimon belongs to Toei and their respective parts. I don't own either show. I am not making any money on this story either, it labor of love. Now I own Mary Sanderous, Nivernmon, Aggymon Griffinmon, Metal Aggymon, Metal Nivernmon, the Crest of Order, the Digi Egg of Order and Marry's Digi Jewel. Please don't use them without my permission.

Now with Rowan Daestar, I have been giving written permission with the character creator Cloudwalker. I also suggest that before you read this chapter, that you read Cloudwalker's A Year in the Life story that is also located on FanFiction.net site. Even if you don't have the time to read her story I will try to explain her and how important she is to Roger and the Big O universe, despite the fact that she isn't a cannon character from neither the Anime nor the Comic.

AURTHOR NOTES: This story is a Big O Digimon Crossover. This story also features some of my own theories about Big O as well. This is also a slight AU for the Digimon part of the story, Gatomon has the ably to go to her Ultimate Level of Angewoman, without any type of help, like she did in the First Season of the show, plus she also can Armor Digivole as well. This goes the same with the first season Digidestined as well. I am also including the third movie sentiment of the Digimon Movie, the one with Willis, even if that part of the movie dose not takes place in the story line of the show.

I am sorry about the long explanations in the stories, but I am writing this for fans of Big O that hasn't seen a signal episode of Digimon of either season. I don't want them to feel like they are lost in the story telling, for I used a lot of references from that show.

SETTING: Reminder the Digimon Episode of His Master's Voice, the episode where Kari is brought to another part of the Digi World by other Digimon. At the end of the episode we see a huge shadowy Digimon with red eyes come out of the water. What if she wasn't really in the Digital World, but in Paradigm City and that huge Digimon-like creature weren't a Digimon, but a Megadeus?

Merged with Big O Roger is once again force into yet another Trial but this isn't of his purpose but of his soul and his mind. Angel makes a visit to Roger's house to drop a clue about the sword and Alex steps up his plans.

Special Notes: In the light of the acts of terror that our nation suffer on Sept. 11, 2001 in both NYC and Washington DC, this chapter's battles scenes are NO way glorify the destruction of the World Trade Centers Towers and the Pentagon. Unlike my pervious chapter that was wrote before the acts of terror, this chapter is currently being written during the events. I state before that I don't glorify what happen on that date, but the battles scenes are require in these chapters for if they are token out they would weaken my story. Again I morn the lose of all of the people that die in both attacks, I hope that there are people that are alive in both buildings. God blesses you all. Plus this chapter is also a tribute to the all the firefighters, police, and EMT that had die trying to save people and the ones that are right now trying to find survivors right now.

Chapter 17 – Heart, Body, Mind, and Soul

Blue Meramon was still attacking Big O and causing some damage to the armor of the Megadeus despite the attacks that Flamedramon was doing to the Digimon. Then Flamedramon hit something in Blue Meramon that cause him to stop his attack on Big O. At first everybody thought that this was a good thing, but they found out that it wasn't a good thing. This was because Blue Meramon used one of his attack to floor Flamedramon and made him go flying into building.

"Davis, I losing it," said Flamedramon. After that Flamedramon Devolved back into DemiVeemon.

"DemiVeemon!" Yelled Davis.

"Davis," struggled the In-Training Level Digimon.

After that Blue Meramon with a fist that was covered in blue flame of a fire continue to punch Big O in the face.

"Roger, snap out of it," said Kari.

Blue Meramon continue to hit the Megadeus in the face and then the eyes of the Megadeus lit back up. Then a sound was heard that sounded when a computer went on-line to the Internet.

While that was happen Alex look at his close circuit TV and saw what had happen. He saw and hears the sounds of Roger breaking down the last barrier that he put on his only son's mind to stop him from over throwing his order.

"Is this what you wanted?" Asked Daemon.

"It dose not matter, once I get this program working, I will be able to access the world were the Digidestined come from that the Harmonious Ones sealed away from this world," answered Alex.

Only a couple of seconds after that Big O took hold of Blue Meramon's arm, the arm that was attacking Big O. Then using the power that the Megadeus had throw Blue Meramon like a child play thing across the streets of the city and after that Big O got up from the ground. With that out of the way Big O moved with uncharacteristic speed where Blue Meramon was still trying to get up from the attack. He was stop by Big O slamming down one of his foot on the arm of the Digimon.

"What the hell?" Asked Kari. "What was that all about?"

Dorothy walked up where Kari was at, she look at the fight that was between Big O and Blue Meramon. "It has started."

"What has started?" Asked Kari.

Dorothy turned her head toward Marry. "She knows."

"She knows what?" Asked Kari.

Even with that, the fight between Blue Meramon and Big O continue with Big O on top of the fight. With Blue Meramon unable to move due to the fact that Big O had used his other foot to prevent the Digimon to used his other arm. Then Big O started to punch the Digimon, not in the face, but in the chest region of the Digimon. All of the Digidestined watch as he somehow found a way to attack this Digimon in his weakest spot and only in a matter of seconds Big O broke through the defense measure that was within that Digimon. They saw it happen when a layer of the Digimon was broke through and they knew when it was deleted with the tiny pieces of data that were around the Digimon. Then Big O walked off of the Digimon, but as soon as he did that he picked up the Digimon with his own two arms, after that through the Digimon up in the air, and to round things off he fired his twin set of eye beams at the thing.

With the barrier gone, Blue Meramon couldn't survive the power of this attack and because of that the energy from the twin set of eye beams went through the Digimon. Then after that Blue Meramon was deleted.

Happy with the end result of the fight, Big O walked toward their direction and everybody looked in the direction of the Megadeus. Everybody didn't know what to said at this, expect for Dorothy that look like that somehow a program that was deep inside of her was turn on and she had no clue how it happen.

"Roger is that you?" Asked Dorothy.

After that Big O walked away from then and then with its strength open up a hole in which it went underground. When those happen Dorothy returned back to normal and after that all of the Digidestined ran up to where Dorothy was.

"Dorothy was that all about?" Asked Marry.

"I think somehow Roger had merged with Big O and became one with that thing," answered Dorothy.

"What?" Asked Davis.

"I don't know how it happen, all I know is that it happen," answered Dorothy. "We have to get back to Roger's house."

"The rest of your go with Dorothy back to Roger's house Kari and I will have to said behind to find a way to break our Digimon out of the block of ice that Blue Meramon put them in," said Marry.

"All right then," said Yolie. After that Yolie got on the back on her Digimon, Aquilamon.

"C'mon I want to stay around," whined Davis.

"Davis, I am serious on this part, I don't want any of us to take any risks that we don't have to," said Marry.

"Okay," said Davis. After that he got on the back of the Champion Level Digimon with DemiVeemon on top of his head. In a matter of seconds the four of them were off on the back of the Eagle-like Digimon.

With the four of them gone she turned in the direction of the others and without a word from her they were off in the direction of Roger's house. While they were doing that Marry noticed that Ken was on the back of Stingmon and seeing that Marry knew that the hit that Stingmon got wasn't as bad as she first thought it was.

"That good" said Marry to herself.

"With them gone, we should turn are attention to our Digimon," said Kari.

"Yes, but I have no clue how we are going to get them out of this," said Marry as she knelt down to where the ice was at. She felt the ice and noticed that it wasn't cold to the touch like normal ice. That told her that they won't deal with normal things and because of that it would take abnormal thing to remove this ice from their Digimon.

"Marry what is it?" Asked Kari.

"This ice isn't like normal ice, one thing isn't cold to the touch like normal ice and thing is that the ice isn't melting despite these warm conditions that we are in right now," answered Marry.

"What are you saying that ice is like a magical ice?" Asked Kari.

"Yes, it is, and since the ice came from a Demon, we are going to need something that comes from an Angel to defeat this ice," answered Marry.

"You know you just sent away the only Angel that wasn't affected by this," said Kari.

"That is before I knew what this ice was, if I did know that you think that I would sent Shakkoumon away from here," said Marry.

Oh man what have I got myself into thought Marry. Oh God, if are real and if you can hear me, please help our Digimon.

"What do we do now?" Asked Kari.

"We prey for a miracle," answered Marry.

"A 'Miracle'?" Asked Kari.

"What are we to do, I am at my wits ends with this one," answered Marry.

After that Kari didn't say anything to that, but her action spoke louder than words. This was because Kari knelt down to the same spot that Marry was located and after that she folded her hands together. Seeing that Marry did the same.

"Oh please Lord help us in our great time of need, for our Digimon are good Digimon that had fought evil in all of its forms. We humbly ask for your assistance in this matter for they are not worry of a faith like this," said the two of them together.

"Ahem," said Marry and after that she did the sing of the cross.

"Ahem," said Kari that also did with Marry do.

With that the two of them stood up and took a look around the place. They found out that nothing had changed since the time that they prayed to God for help in this matter. Seeing that made Marry question why she evens does something like that. This only further distanced herself from the region that she was schooled throughout her lifetime. Only again the question about the whole idea of region and an old mighty God that had the power of life and depth.

She was about to said something that this was a stupid waste of her time and that she shouldn't of have relied on her own effort, not something that she couldn't see, hear, taste, smell, or even touch. Then she heard the sound of a church bell in ring and the two of them turned their head in the direction of where they hear the sound found. They saw that there was indeed a church around them and they could see that it was in the same style of this place, gothic almost like the Cathedral of St. Paul in New York City.

"Okay…" started Marry. "That is weird."

Seconds after that she felt the cold drops of rain started to fall on her body. Then the small drizzle style rain turned into a huge steady rain that fell in sheets that was so thick that Marry couldn't see ahead of her.

"Marry, look," said Kari.

Marry turned her head in the direction of Kari's voice and saw what she was talking about. The rain that seem to pop out of nowhere was melting the ice away in an extremely fast way and without any sings that the ice was melting, there was no little streams of water who would start from the block of ice. Seeing that a chill went up the spine of Marry at what she was seeing, somehow God did answer their prayers and with that Marry didn't know what to said at that.

I am seeing what they call a "Miracle"? Asked Marry to herself. Marry wasn't a very strong religious person, but seeing this made her question her beliefs in the concept of having a religion. That maybe there is a God that is ups there and there just might be a Heaven just beyond the sky.

Marry watched as the ice was totally melted away and seconds after that there Digimon got off from the ground and up into the air where they belong. When that happen the rain stopped and like before when the rain started, a church bell was rung behind her. Unlike before neither Marry or Kari looked behind them when the two of them heard the church bell ring. The two of them were more worry about their Digimon and how they faired against that ice base attack that Blue Meramon did to them. The two of them physical look like that there was nothing wrong with them, but the two of them knew for a fact that appearances could be deceptive. With that they had to threat her with caution.

"Metal Aggymon, are you okay?" Asked Marry.

"That goes the same with you, Angewomon, are you okay?" Asked Kari.

"I am fine, a little cold, but beside that I okay," answered Metal Aggymon.

"Just like Metal Aggymon said, I a little cold but that could because of the ice that was inside of. With that aside, I think I will be okay," answered Angewomon.

"That good," said Marry.

"That is," said Kari.

"I think that we should head back to Roger's house and figure out what just happen here," said Marry.

After that Angewomon picked Kari up from the ground and Marry went on the back of Metal Aggymon. When Marry was on the back of her Digimon, she took hold Metal Aggymon's pair of metal wings. After that the two of them went off in the direction of Roger's house.

While the two of them were doing that, Angel looks up at the two of them and seeing that Angel knew what she had to do. She had to drop a hint where the location of where the Sword of Virtues was.

"I hope that he is the right person, because if he isn't this world will suffer even more," said Angel and after that she got into her car with the purpose of heading to Roger's house.

Dorothy stood on the catwalk, looking at the stoic face of the Megadeus that was known as Big O. Even if the face of the Megadeus didn't show emotion like humans did, she somehow could tell that it was showing emotion to her. This thing that she was surrounded by wasn't help by the fact that she knew that Roger was inside of that thing right now merged with it. She wondered was he looking at her as she was looking at him and she wondered what he was going through. She knew that this was caused because of the danger that Blue Meramon presented to them and that it had to be done, but that still didn't help with her. She was worry about him, she wondered would he ever come back to normal, or would even come back at all, or how was it affecting his mind right now. Would it changed him forever and these where questions that she was asking herself. She found out that she couldn't answer them and that the only one that could answer these questions was Roger, but right now Roger was inside of that thing. The only thing that she knew for sure was the eyes of the Megadeus were still lit up and that told her that the power was stilling running through the Megadeus.

"Miss Dorothy," said an English Accented voice.

Hearing that Dorothy knew that it was Norman that had called out her name. She turned around and she found out that she was right.

"Yes," answered Dorothy. "What is it?"

"Miss Kari and Miss Marry have return. They are with their Digimon," answered Norman.

"Thank you, I will be up in the living room to great them," said Dorothy.

After that Norman bowed his head and let the female android pass him by. While she was doing that Norman was walking up to the spot where she was standing looking at the face of the Megadeus. She walked up to where the elevator was at and when she did she took a quick look at the two of them. Even taking looking at Big O on the side she still got the strange feeling that the stoic face of the Megadeus was showing some type of emotion. But what? That was the question that Dorothy was asking her self and she could find that she had no answer to that question. After taking the quick look at the two of them she walked into the elevator that would take her to the living room of his house.

While she was heading upward to the one of the top floors of his house she wondered about what happen earlier today. She wanted to know what happen at that time and to help herself she behind to replay the events of the battles in her memory banks and unlike humans who couldn't see all of the details of that event, she could right down the last particle that was in the air at that time of the fight. She could see how all of the Digimon Digivoled their Ultimate Levels to take out that Ice Demon that they called Ice Devimon and even with their combine efforts that couldn't take that thing out. To make matters worst for them this Ice Devimon person Digivoled to the next level, which was Ultimate, which was the level that all three of them were at. After that he wasted no time in taking them out by freezing them into a block of ice and after that he took of Big O. Even that wasn't enough for Big O was down on the ground and then something happen that caused that computer like sound that sounded like when two computer talked to each other. Then after that Big O when nuts on Blue Meramon, by throwing the Digimon out of the way, before the Digimon could do anything the Megadeus pinned the Digimon down on the ground. After that the Megadeus destroyed something that was protecting the Digimon from their attacks and with that gone the Megadeus destroyed the Digimon. With the battle gone that when Dorothy found out what happen, that Roger somehow merged with the machine. When she looked at the face of Big O she found out that something in her programming was kick on that had caused her to freeze up.

She would of gone to aftermath of the battle, but she found out that she was at the level were the living room was at. With that she step out of the elevator and she could see that the rest of the other Digidestined were in there as well. She could see that Ken, Davis, Yolie, Cody, Matt, T.K., Kari, Tai, Joe, Izzy, and Marry were there as well with their Rookie Level Digimon, expect for Kari's Digimon, Gatomon and this was because she was at her Champion Level.

"It is good to see that the four of your are okay," said Dorothy.

"Yes we are, and so are out Digimon," answered Marry.

"Davis explain to me what happen out there," said Izzy. "Man what a cracker of a story."

"I know," said Marry. "I would like to know what happen there."

"From what I heard from you, it sounded like what happen with Stingmon and ExVeemon DNA Digivoled to form Paildramon. There was a threat to this world that was powerful for Roger and Big O, so able to defeat it, they become as one," said Izzy.

"Unlike Paildramon, that Devolved, Roger hasn't done that with Big O he still merged with that machine," said Marry.

"Then we will have to get him out of that and I will try to offer my services if I can break the merge," said Izzy.

"I just have one question, dose Roger want to come back?" Asked Marry.

Everybody just looked at Marry with the question that she just asks them. But Marry returned the look that everybody gives her right back to them. Even with that they all knew that was a possibility that could happen, Roger might not want to come back, he might want to stay there. That was something that none of them want to go through, but it could happen and despite all of their efforts, it could all depend on Roger's own will to come back or not.

Even with that across their minds, they knew they had a duty to do, they had to fine a way to get Roger out of Big O. They knew that it couldn't be good for either Roger nor for them.

"Okay, Izzy you go and help Dorothy and Norman," said Marry. I hope that the three of them know what the hell to do with this, because I have no clue what to do. I am playing this by the numbers, making it as go on thought Marry.

Seconds after that Norman made his appearance to the group.

"Norman, I thought that you were down in the garage with Big O?" Asked Dorothy.

"I was until I found out that there is a woman that look like a one Miss Lovejoy," answered Norman. "What shall I do, Miss Dorothy?"

"Don't let her in, we are in a middle of a crisis right now and we don't need any type of distractions right now, tell her that we are busy right now. That she should come around later," answered Marry. Having no clue who this Miss Lovejoy was.

"I said that, but she told me that she saw the fight on 2nd street and because of that she wants to give you some information about the prophecy," answered Norman.

"What dose she know about the prophecy?!" Asked a socked Izzy.

"Nothing much, expect for the fact that she knows about it," answered Norman.

"It you call, Dorothy, are you going to let her in or not. I suggest that you don't," said Marry and after that she folded her hands across her chest.

"Norman let her in," said Dorothy.

"This is bad, really bad, if Roger find this out, there is going to be hell to paid and I don't want to be around when that happens," said Marry.

Norman listens to the command of Dorothy and in a matter of seconds the older gentlemen was gone from her sight. Seeing that Marry just waved he arm in the air like she couldn't believe that this was happening right now and after that she refuse to said anything to her about this matter. She felt that this was the worst thing that she could do right now, they didn't need this right now.

"I tell you one thing, when this is all over with I am going to take a vacation and try to distance myself away from Digimon and Megadeus as far as I can," said Marry. With that Marry took Nivernmon out of the room because she didn't want to see this person.

In a matter of minutes after that Norman was back in the room and he was with a woman that was dress in dressy causal clothes.

"Miss Dorothy I give you Miss Lovejoy," said Norman and after that Norman disappeared from the view of the two of them.

"So you are Miss Lovejoy," said Dorothy.

"Yes, but please call me Angel," said Angel. After that she looked around and could see that Tai, Matt, Sora, Davis, Izzy, T.K., Kari, Cody, Ken, Yolie, and their Digimon were still around.

"I can see you meet the Digidestined and most of their Digimon," said Angel.

"What do you know about the Prophecy?" Asked Izzy.

"Blunt and to the point, I like that, I know about it and I know for a fact that you Izzy crack the code, and you have translated most of it, but there are some small sections of the prophecy that you haven't be ably to translate," answered Angel.

"Wait, I moment, how do you know my name?" Asked Izzy.

"Here," said Angel. Seconds after that they saw that she started to change from the human form to a Digimon form. In doing that it showed everybody there that she was a human size white bird with an armor color that was around her neck.

"You…you are a Digimon," said Izzy.

"Then who are you?" Asked Ken. "That still dose not answer Izzy's question, how do you know his name and by all accounts she will know the rest of our names as well. I am right, Angel."

"I am Swanmon, I was sent her by a person that you called Gennai to kept an eye out on this world," answered Angel/Swanmon.

Hearing that Izzy reminder what Gennai told him about this world that he sent somebody to this world to kept an eye out on this world. With this he now knew who this agent was, it was this person that had the ably to change from her Digimon Form to a human form.

"Are you the one that Gennai spoke off?" Asked Izzy.

"Yes, I am the one," answered Angel/Swanmon. "But I have a question for you, have you found the Sword of Virtues yet?"

"No, but we have found the Crest of Power, why? Do you know where it is?" Asked Izzy.

"No, but I have a riddle that is token from that prophecy in a section of the wall that was destroyed before you went down there, so you won't know about this. But here it is: "The Sword of Virtues will be found in the place where the great symbol of commerce and trade was once located. If you are in question of where you are at, look at the ground and with that your questions will be answer without a signal of doubt in your mind, " answered Angel/Swanmon. While she was saying that, Marry was listening to it as well. She was behind a door and kept her breathing to a minimal, she didn't want Dorothy or the others to know that she was listening to this.

"What dose that mean?" Asked Izzy.

"I don't know," answered Angel/Swanmon. "But I have go, I don't want my cover to be blow."

"I can understand that," said Dorothy.

After that Angel/Swanmon made herself go back to her human form and with that she was escorted out of the living room. While that was going on, Marry was making plans of her own without the rest of the other team members. This was something that she was going to do on her own with only Nivernmon to aid her.

"I am gong to find that sword myself," whispered Marry to Nivernmon.

"But we shouldn't do that, we should tell the rest of the other team members about what you are about to do," said Nivernmon.

"And wait for them to get Roger out of Big O, only God knows hold long that is going to take and I don't have that type of time to waste with everything that is going on right now," answered Marry. "So, are you with me, or not?"

"Yes, I am," answered Nivernmon.

"Good," said Marry and after that Marry watch the living room to make sure that the rest of the team would leave the room. This would allow Marry and Nivernmon leave the room without anybody knowing what she was about to do.

With Angel gone the rest of the team went to where the garage without the knowledge that Marry had listened to every word of the conversation that Izzy and Angel had between each other. If they did know, it wouldn't of matter to them because getting Roger out of Big O was more important about the signal action of one person, even if the action would be considered an act of treason.

They all made it down to the garage and they could see that despite the short time, Norman managed to hook up Big O with a bunch of wires that were connected to the computer that was located in the garage. While it was a little bit smaller that the super computer that was located in his lab, it was no less powerful than that one.

"Mr. Izzy, I would like your assistant," said Norman.

Izzy pull out his laptop and seconds after that Izzy booted the computer up. "Okay, do you want me to hook up my computer to your computer like we did before?"

"Sure," answered Norman.

Seconds after that Izzy hooked up his laptop. "Like before it is going to take some time for my computer to see if it can talk to your computer."

"What should we do?" Asked Davis.

"I think that you should hook up the rest of the other wires that I didn't have time to hook up," answered Norman.

"Okay, Digidestined your heard the man, let's do it," said Davis.

With that the other Digidestined with their Digimon began to work with the huge and thick wires that required four of them to lift up and move. Despite that they hooked up the wires to the to other ports that were located in the garage. When they did they found out that it was hard work and clear sings of that was the tiny beads of sweat that was on their foreheads. While they did that Izzy found out that he could interface with Norman's computer and he found that out, the desktop on his laptop's screen changed from the normal Windows 98 layout. That included a bunch of fancy icon and pretty wallpaper that as of Mt. Fuji to black screen that had a script that was like the computer code that was from the movie that was called The Matrix. Unlike before, Izzy was confused at the code, but now since he had a little experience with the code he knew what it was saying to him. Because of that he move with a little more speed through the maze-like code until he got himself to a menu.

"Okay, Norman, I in, what do you want me to do," said Izzy.

"I want you to give me a status report on the Megadeus," said Norman.

Izzy did that and could see that most of the Megadeus was running normally until they reach the spot where the cockpit of the Megadeus was located at. He found out that the cockpit was missing and that was something that he didn't understand how it happens. It was replace by the same type of metal that made up the armor of the Megadeus, an armor that his computer couldn't ID.

"My God, somehow the cockpit of the Megadeus is missing," answered Izzy.

"Now is that even possible?!" Asked Dorothy.

"I don't know, I am just reading what is on the screen right now," said Izzy.

With that Dorothy look up in the direction of Megadeus and like before the face of Megadeus wasn't showing any type of emotion to her. It was hiding its secrets from them.

Roger found himself in a room where all of the lights were out expect for the signal spotlight that was on him and that he was sitting on a simple black wooden chair.

"Where I am?" He asked and when he asked that his voiced echo through out the room. In a matter of seconds his echoing voice stopped. Even with that he still didn't get his answer and after that he reflected on what was going on in his life right now.

He form a fist and when he did that he felt that the strength that was behind it was a lot stronger than it was before. It felt like that he could crush the life out something without breaking a sweat and he wanted to know how could he have so much power despite being human. Seconds after doing that he unformed the fist and the fist was gone, but not the feeling of the power that was behind the action, it was still there and still was his non understand of why this was be.

How can this be? How can I have some much power that I could reach out and rip something apart without any help? Roger asked to himself.

"You are nowhere and everywhere, you are in the place that is 'In Between'," said a familiar voice that was behind him.

Roger turned around and found out that it was Kari that had spoke that. When he did that his surroundings had changed from the dark room to the time when the two of them first meet. That was after he defeated the other Sea Titan-like Megadeus.

" 'In Between'? What that mean? In Between what? What is going on here? Why do I feel like that I could reach out to the sky and destroy it?" Asked Roger.

The image of Kari didn't say anything to him and that angered Roger a little, but he controlled his anger toward her. He did this because of two reasons, one this wasn't the real Kari, it was just an image of her and the other reason why his anger might cause whoever or whatever this thing was that was taking her image to refuse to give him the answer that he wanted.

"That is because you can you can destroy the sky, but what sky do you want to be destroyed," said another voice.

Like before Roger turned around to see who was the person that had spoke to him. This time the person was a person that Roger never expected to see again, while not in this lifetime. It was Rowan Daestar, the only woman in his entire life that he the he cared about and was serious about as well. It was the woman that had changed his life forever and it was the woman that he watch die, there was nothing that he could to prevent that from happening. She was dress in the way when the first two of them meet in the Policeman's Ball on Heaven's Day.

"What are you doing here? You are dead, I watch you die! You shouldn't be here, you should be in Heaven where an angel like you should belong," said Roger.

"You are right, I did die, but you that brings me here," said Ro.

Roger finch back at hearing this and he found himself tripping over a piece of carpet that just appeared out of nowhere. After that he felt on the floor and despite that he could still see that the image of Rowan Daestar was coming toward him. Roger got up, as fast as he could and once again the image of Rowan didn't change. She was still dress that was made out of that dark velvety fabric material that he couldn't make out what color it was. That was true at that time and it was still true here. Despite the striking beauty that she had, Roger knew that this was just a muse, a falsehood that something was using against him and this wasn't the real Rowan Daestar.

"Stay away from me, you aren't real, the real Ro, die a year ago!" Yelled Roger.

"We are all real, but why are you denying us," said a new voice that was behind him.

Once again Roger turned around to see who was saying this. He found out that whatever this being he was talking to took the image of Davis, the young and misguided second leader of the second group of Digidestined. Like the others the two of them were dress in the way when the two of the first meet each other.

"I am not denying anything," said Roger defiantly.

"There he goes again, acting like an island like nothing will affect him, to scare to show his true emotions. He thinks and acts like he as cold as ice, he dose this…" started another voice.

"Now stop it! I am not scare of showing emotion and yes things do affect me. I am human, if you are human that is another question," said Roger.

"Anger. Is that the only emotion that you can truly express?" Asked another voice and Roger found out that this time it was Marry that was on the back of Metal Nivernmon

"If that is so, that this world is lost and that we should give up the fight," said a voice that Roger knew was Dorothy.

"No, we should never give up hope," said Roger.

"You have," said the image of Marry.

"No I haven't, its…" stammered Roger. Roger didn't know where his hope was. Was it truly gone, has he lost all hope in himself and this world? No, he once had hope before and he needed to find it once again, but where was it.

"It's…been misplace. Has it Roger? Have you misplace your hope? If so, where has been misplace?" Asked the image of Metal Nivernmon.

"I think that it has been misplace, but where I don't know where it has been place. Can you help me find it," begged Roger that was showing the first signs of the hard emotional barrier that he had set up after the death of Ro.

"We can, but you must be the one, and only you can step through the doorway. We can open up for you, but again we must stress that you are the only one that step through the passageway," said the image of Marry.

Roger nodded his head at that, it was a start for him, but where would take him? That was the question that he needed an answer to. He found out where this was going to take him and it took him to the worst moment possible in his entire life, it was the time when he saw Ro died. Seeing that Roger reacted to it by yelling.

"No, don't take me here, take me anywhere expect here," said Roger.

"We aren't taking you here, you are talking us here. It your own feeling of…" they started.

"My own feelings of what? Hum? Tell me! Don't say guilt because it wasn't me that kill her, it was Dan and their dam EMT's that took care of some dam prisoner that tried to kill themselves," said Roger.

"So you blame Dam because of her death," said the image of Kari.

"Yes, I do. Are you happy? Are you happy that I admit it," said Roger.

"No, we aren't happy about this. We aren't the ones that you should admit this to, it was you that you should of admit to," said the image of Marry.

"I accepted her death long time ago," said Roger.

"If that is so, then why are you crying?" Asked the image of Ro.

Hearing that Roger went for his eyes and he found out that the image of Ro was correct about him. He was crying and seeing that he wanted to know why was he crying. Was it because of her death or was he crying about something else. Was he crying about his life and how every woman that he loved expect for Kari was killed by Alex Rosewater.

"I don't know why I am crying. I thought that I would never be able to cry after the death of her, it looks like that I was wrong about that fact in my life," said Roger.

With that none of the image of Ro, Dorothy, Marry, Davis, and Kari said anything to him about this. They left him alone to deal with this issue on his own and what seem to be like hours for Roger was only a couple of seconds. Roger's sadness about her death that happens almost one year ago was replace by anger and sense of purpose. His purpose was to get revenge for the death of the woman that was his mother and the woman that was going to be his wife and the mother of his unborn child. Now he understand the reason why Kari was raise in that other world, it was to protect her from their father, Alex.

With that Roger got up from the floor and despite the fact that he was looking at the body of the woman that was once his lover and would have been his wife. It didn't matter to him anymore, he had accepted her death, and he had shed his tears for this woman. Now it was time for action and once before he had accepted something, but that thing was why he piloted Big O, now this time he accepted the death of this person. Instead of letting it get to him and kept him down and without hope, he was going to used this thing as an influence to make him stand up against the darkest that his father was. He was going to fulfill his role in the prophecy that was told to Alex when he was born.

"You might of killed my mother, my lover and my future wife, but I won't let you kill my only sister that also goes the same for others that call your city home. Do you hear me Father!? I am going to end your rule and your order so that others do not suffer the same faith that I have!" Vowed Roger.

Roger looked on the floor and saw a piece of glass and with that Roger picked up the thing. After that he use the glass piece to cut himself and while it did hurt him, Roger ignore the pain that it was coming from for he knew that it was going to be a small price to paid if he wanted to save this world from his Father. Then he breach the surface of his skin and when he did that blood became to could out of the cut.

"I swear on my own blood that I will make you paid for all of the pain that you put me through and the pain of the countless other that have no one to speak for. I will be their voice, their avatar," said Roger.

The images of the people that he had known through his life all nodded their head in agreement. He had regain hope and because of that they open up the doorway for him, now the only thing that he had to do was to walk through the door. Roger saw it and with a little bit of smile on his face, that was his way in saying "Thank you" to them. With that Roger walk through the door and when he did that the world behind him was close off.

The one thing that he noticed in this room was it was different from the other one, it was full with a white light and his black suit stuck out. Roger didn't care right now, because right he was on cause and he could feel that any aid that he got in this place would be able to help him.

"So what do I do now?" Asked Roger. Unlike the black room there was no echo.

"I tell you want is going on right now," said another voice and before Roger could turn around to see whom this voice was coming from, he found out who it was. It was Big O's image of him.

"Hum?" Asked Roger.

"I am going to tell you, that right now you body is going through changes," answered the image.

"What?! How dare you do that to me!" Shouted Roger.

"No wait these changes are good, because they will allow you to stay merged with me and still be able to have kept your human form," answered the image.

"Like how?" Asked Roger.

With that the image of Big O explain everybody about what was going on with his body. That his current body isn't suited to handle the merge for much longer and if this didn't go on he would of die. So Big O had to change his body to kept this merge for as long as Roger wanted it and one of the element to the change is the addition of nano technology that would be in his blood stream and the used of in active proteins. That which the nanites would use to covert them to the material that Big O was made out. Big O also explain that he would be able to charge into the Megadeus anytime that he wanted, but it would require huge amount of energy from his body.

"So is that the reason why I feel so much power in my hands?" Asked Roger.

"You get more than my strength out of this deal, you will get enhanced vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Plus you be able to see in the dark like it was day and you will able to see in the interred and ultraviolet septum as well," answered Big O image of him.

"What about you? What will happen to you?" Asked Roger.

"Oh, I will still be with you, I be that little voice inside of your head, with one exception I am real. Also, since you gain the missing piece of your soul back, the energy that was release when you did that, somehow managed be to gain access to my true Digimon program and because of that I got my true Mega-Level Form," answered Big O.

"That is good news, I am so happy for you, but how would be able to use it since I will have control over your Megadeus form," said Roger.

"We have duel control over that form and that only time that you be able to change into that form is when the two of us agree that it required of us to do. Like with Megadeus the nanites will convert the proteins that were in his blood stream into Big O's true Mega Level Digimon form," answered Big O.

Roger nodded his head at that.

Big O image of his raise his right hand. "It sounds like your people want you back. So are ready?"

Roger could see that Big O image of him had his hand strength out and Roger knew that it was time to take a leap of faith and to truly become one with the machine. Roger did that, he touch Big O's image of him and in a matter of seconds Big O's image of him become a blue light. The blue light entered into his body and when it did two things happen to him. One of them was that Roger could feel the power of Megadeus inside of him and the second thing that happen was Roger's image was replace by Big O's image.

With that Roger knew that the merge that had started with Blue Meramon, had now ended. Even with that he knew that he was missing something before he could take on Alex and his group of people. Even with that there was something that he knew that he had to do before all of this and that was to pay his respect to Ro.

[Author Notes: Eyna's Only Time is the background music]

Unlike other times when he place a rose on her grave but time he saw the image of the woman that he loved in forth of him.

"You know that killing Alex won't bring me back," said Ro.

"I know, Ro, but if I do this, others won't experience the same problem that we did," said Roger.

"That is true, but I don't like you doing this," said Ro.

"I know if there is another way out of this I would fine this, but I made a promise to you that I would defend and protect the people of this city. I won't leave you side no matter what, you were my first and true love," said Roger.

After that Rowan fell into Roger's arms and despite that this was only an image that was made up in his mind. It was still to see her once again moving around not laying inside of that casket at her funeral when he place his engagement ring on her finger. Rowan place her head in his huge muscular chest and when she did that Roger kissed her on her forehead.

"I sorry, baby, but I have to leave you, but duty calls and I must answer it," said Roger.

With that Rowan got out of Roger's grip. "Go and make history, fulfill your destiny."

Roger did that and he didn't turn around to face the woman that he loved with everything that he had. The woman that had save his life, the woman that had found a way to kept his life they way that is but still allow him to pilot the Megadeus. "I will."

Roger could feel himself start to cry once again, but he told himself that he had all ready cried for her. That he couldn't waste his time on something that he couldn't control. Roger walked into the direction that he saw a star-like light.

[Author Notes: The music is over with]

"What the hell?" Asked Izzy.

"What is it, Izzy?" Asked Tai.

"I getting a strange reading from the Megadeus," answered Izzy.

"Like what?" Asked Tai.

"I can't explain it, it like nothing that I have seen before," answered Izzy. "But what I can tell you is that you should get out of this Dorothy because it happening right now."

Tai looked up in the direction of where Big O was at and could see that Big O was changing shape, like it was getting smaller and it was changing color as well.

"No, I am not leaving, he is coming," answered Dorothy.

"Who? Roger?" Asked Kari.

"Yes," answered Dorothy.

In a matter of seconds after that Big O changed completely that it was gone, but it was replace by the body of Roger. Then Dorothy caught him in her arms and when she did she noticed many different things about him. One of them was that he look like that he was completely exhausted from the experience that he went through. The second thing that she noticed was that he was completely naked and that some type of wet liquid that was sticky to the touch covered his body. This liquid that was over all his body had also totally miss up his black hair in the same fashion when he would wake up from sleeping. While Dorothy had seems the naked male body before, but it was still a little hard for her to see him at this moment that could possibly be his weakest. After that she noticed that his watch, the thing that he would call Big O into action somehow was apart of his skin.

"I need a blanket up here," said Dorothy.

"Will do," said somebody.

Dorothy looks at his face and she could tell that he was in a somewhat dazed state right now.

"Roger," started Dorothy.

She got no response from the man, but her attention was draw away from him when she heard the footfalls of a person running up the catwalk. She saw that it was Kari that had picked up the nearest blanket, which was black. Kari could see that Roger was naked and with a quick look at the two of them, Kari could see that this wasn't for her age group. Because of that she quickly got out of there as fast as she could.

With that Dorothy wrapped up Roger in the black blanket and whipped off the liquid that was on his face with the blanket as well.

"Roger," said Dorothy.

"Ro, is that you?" Asked Roger.

Hearing that name studded Dorothy a little bit, she wanted to know whom this "Ro" person was and before she could even answer that question. Roger quickly noticed in the spot that he was in and with that he got up from the floor.

"Dorothy what are you doing here?" Asked Roger.

"Well it is nice to know you are back to normal," said Dorothy.

Then Roger noticed that he was dressed in a blanket and not his clothes. "Hey, what happen to my clothes? No…I don't even what to know."

"We would like to know what happen to you when you were apart of Big O and we would like to know are still together?" Asked Kari.

"All in good time, but right now I have to get dress and maybe there I might tell you want happen," said Roger.

With that Roger walked away from both Kari and Dorothy, to the elevator that would take him back to the top floor of his house. While he was doing that he was thinking about the year of his life when he spent his time with Rowan and he thought that it could have been the best time in his life.

"I will kept my promise to you, Rowan no matter what," said Roger.
