"What is happening to you two!" Rena yelled pointed to them,

Cybermon and Darkrenamon's legs were slowly dissolving into tiny bits of data and both digimon were both at about knee level.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS RIGHT AWAY!" J.C. yelled panicking by throwing the pink blanket back on their legs.

"We didn't want to scare you. Please understand." said Darkrenamon bursting into tears of fright

"Why, is it the real world that is making this happen?" asked Rena also panicking with J.C.

"No." said Cybermon

"THEN TELL US DAMMIT! IF SOMETHING IS HAPPENING TO YOU THIS IS THE TIME TO SPILL!!!" yelled J.C. with sweat pouring down his face. "We should go back to the digital world. Maybe there are digimon who can heal this, or, maybe a doctor, OHH! I don't know, Rena, help me out here!"

"There is no digital world to go to." said Cybermon now starting to let go of his emotions "That dark hole is devouring everything, this digimon, the land, the...just everything!" he said starting to have tears form in his purple eyes "And when the digital world goes, the digimon go. Without a digital world, there is no place to receive data. If humans don't have a heart, they die, if digimon don't have a digital world, they are reprocessed."

"But you have access to Cyber-space, cant you close the portals up like you always do?!" yelled Rena starting to cry with everyone else

Cybermon said controlling his tears "I have already tried, it is too big now and the more the digital world is crushed, the more we start to---

"DIE!!!" yelled J.C. bursting out in tears

"There is nothing we can do to help...at all!?" yelled Rena defiantly

"Nothing." Darkrenamon responded.

"DARKRENAMON!!!" Rena cried out to as she lunged into her arms and cried. "I don't want you to leave...I will miss you too much! I wish I could have thrown myself into that hole like Kari!"

"RENA!" Darkrenamon yelled fiercely "Don't you ever say that! You have your entire life ahead of you. You still need to finish school, get married...have children. Rena, you are too young to even think about dying." Darkrenamon paused to cry more "But no matter what, your always will be in my heart. And I hope you remember me when every step of the way.

"I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU DARKRENAMON!" she yelled out, hugging her tightly "I will miss you everyday of my life...your my best friend."

Darkrenamon reached to hold Rena tighter when she noticed her hand was starting to change into data.

J.C. sat Indian style in his bed with his back turned to Cybermon and hearing Rena and Darkrenamon beside him, he then stopped pouting and turned around to Cybermon, holding him with all of his strength. "Cybermon, I am going to miss you. Your the best friend that a guy could ever have. I know we haven't always gotten along Cybermon, but...I.... I DON'T KNOW!" he cried out and hugged Cybermon tighter.

"I understand J.C." Cybermon said as he patted J.C. on the back with his hand which was slowly withering away.

"No, you don't!" J.C. sniffled "You're are my buddy, we are closer then close...you taught me that emotions are part of our lives, but not what drives our lives. You taught me to strive for whatever I want, whenever I want it and that friendships can last forever whether we are worlds apart or miles apart. You made me more determined and a better person Cybermon and I will never forget it."

"Darkrenamon." said Rena "You have taught me that just because the stakes are high and the odds are against you, that good will always prevail and it has. You made me realize that it is okay to show emotions to others and because of you, I feel I am more outgoing and every time I talk to someone new, like the new girl in school, or whenever my life seems to be going nowhere, I will remember you and realize that I have the ability to conquer anything I want to. And I love you for that." she said with her eyes and nose going red from holding back her tears.

"Darkrenamon, you have been like a digital mother for me, heh." J.C. said to Darkrenamon trying to get her to laugh "I can't explain to you what that has meant to me, really. From the bottom of my heart Darkrenamon, I will truly miss you and your wonderful stories and your nurturing 'tough love' type of nature.

Rena looked at Cybermon and talked very softly "Cybermon, it's been very entertaining and fun being around you. You always manage to make me laugh with your sarcastic side comments and short temper, its going to be so hard living without you...and I mean this a lot, because without you, I might not even have ever opened up to you and J.C." She patted him on his shoulder which was starting to fade away "you pretend to be so tough, when you know deep down you have the biggest heart of us all and I like that in a digimon."

Cybermon nodded to Rena and then looked back at J.C. "J.C., you have taught me that life doesn't run on a precise schedule all of the time, but there needs to be bonding time and time just to relax. I couldn't have chosen a better partner for me then you...I want you to remember that I will always be in your heart...no matter what is going on inside of you or around you. Its been worth every second being around you and I am being truly honest when I say, you have taught me more than I could have ever taught you."

Darkrenamon looked to Rena with tears making her bright eyes sparkle like diamonds "Rena, you have made me feel very young again, after being in that shine palace all of those digiyears, I thought I had totally forgotten how to be young again, but you re-taught me very quickly and I thank you for that. You're a great young woman Rena, don't ever forget that. I wouldn't change a thing about you...and you're the best friend I have ever had." she finished in tears as she hugged Rena as best as she could with 1 and a half arm.

J.C. then looked into Rena's deep blue eyes and looked at her like he was when he told her he cared for her during the battle with Omnimon. "Rena, I don't know what is going to happen between us after this is all said and done, but there are a few things I want to tell you. You have made me feel better than anybody here ever has. When I stare into your eyes, it's like I feel stronger, yet weaker at the same time. I feel as if I can jump to the moon as many times as I can trip and fall because of untied shoelaces. I feel complete yet terrified because I don't want to look like a big dork in front of you. I know this may not be the best time to be wasting time talking to each other but I can't hold this inside of me any longer. I had a huge crush on you ever since the first moment I laid eyes on you. Call it puppy love, but from that point on I knew that you were the one I wanted to be with, and even though you may never want to talk to me again, I just want to let you know that...well--how do I word this, Rena? Okay, Rena, you have given me the best approximate two earth minutes of my life-----------------and I am in love with you."

Rena seemed flushed and lightheaded after the last 6 words and awkwardly replied while the digimon seemed entertained by it all "Its interesting you should say that...because I don't know, when I am with you, I just feel that chemistry, that click that I don't get when I am around other guys. You're very special J.C., you're one of the most sensitive and funny boys that I have ever met and I like the fact that your not concerned with your ego and sports and cheerleaders--and all of that stuff proves to me that---you're the real thing J.C., and its uncanny how awkward I feel right now because I feel the same way, you're the one for me J.C. and it just feels so funny falling for the guy I punched and yelled at the first day we met. ,J.C., I love you too." Rena said as she moved his head towards her where they embraced for their first kiss.

It seemed like those few seconds with each other lasted an eternity between J.C. and Rena, never before had they ever felt so sure or secure about anything in their lives, but their attention suddenly shifted to the digimon who's almost entire body had faded away into data.

"That was beautiful you two." Darkrenamon said with tears in her eyes.

"J.C., be good to Rena, you wouldn't want her to punch you in the face again if you make her mad. I will miss you J.C., don't ever forget me, but now its our time to go."

J.C. began to be filled with tears again "I will never forget you Cybermon, I love you! And I know one day we will see each other again, right?"

Cybermon nodded his head very slightly when J.C. hugged what was left of him.

"Rena...you will always be with me no matter what ,right?" Darkrenamon asked as she de-digivolved back into Foxmon who had barely a head left.

" Darkrenamon, you will always be a part of me!" yelled Rena as tiny Foxmon and little Demi-cybermon floated into the sunset.

"Goodbye." their voices echoed as tiny sparkles seemed to float in their remembrance

Rena and J.C.'s eyes began to be filled with tears. Rena threw her head on to J.C.'s shoulder to sob and J.C. patted her, telling her it would be alright while he let go of his own tears.

This would be the last time either child would see or hear from their digimon again....

or so it was thought....

The End
