Author's notes: This fic is one of three (That are currently being written
that is, there are more possible sequels) intertwined sequels to Fallen
Devimon's saga. The three all take place in the same world during an
overlapping timeframe, so there will be contact between them, though each
will hopefully be a solid fanfic in it's own right.
"So, it's over now." Takeru said, glancing down at the ruined mountain. "Fallen Devimon's army was annihilated, Lady Devimon's disappeared, and Fallen Devimon's running into an obvious trap. According to Miyako, Ice Devimon led an attack on monitor and was pushed back by the lake guardian, with his army scattered. As far as I can tell, the evil we fought against is all but gone. So, where do we go from here?"
"We can't return home, according to Angewomon the portal's still blocked." Sora responded sadly.
"But if we can't go back... This means there's still some evil we need to fight, but who?" The bearer of hope asked, concern evident in his unblemished face.
"I think we should wait this one out a bit. I don't know what it will be, and I fear it, but whatever evil faces us is sure to reveal itself soon enough." Sora responded, also with worry, but with a slight optimistic tone in her voice appearing as well.
"In the meantime..." Takeru began, "Let's go to factorial fortress. Most of the digimon of File Island are there, and it's a good place to relax without worrying about being assassinated in our sleep by some dark digimon."
Sora nodded, and Garudamon turned in the direction of the underground fortress, created as both a refugee camp and a last line of defense against Fallen Devimon.
"So much has happened in this last week, since three digimon offered up their lives and fused with Devimon to free him from the dark whirlpool. Taichi, Daisuke, and V-Mon were killed by Fallen Devimon, Kabuterimon by Mugen Dramon, so many of the friends I've had for so long are dead now. Worse, Yamato's turned against us and pledged his loyalty to Lady Devimon, and I've had to do battle with my own brother. We've fought many battles to try to stop his evil, and it looks like we've finally won now that Infinity Mountain exploded, but at what cost? Digimon who wielded the powers of darkness have returned once more, and again they've brought this world to the brink of ruin!" Takeru thought, filled with anger at what Devimon had done again this time, not unlike his anger at the powers of darkness caused by Angemon's death.
"But still, even with all these terrible things that have gone on, it is still said that there's light within even the deepest darkness, and I suppose in this case that's true. After all, if this hadn't happened, Sora and myself wouldn't be, well, together." Takeru continued thinking, as Garudamon entered the underground fortress conducted around Factorial Town. Takeru, Sora, Garudamon (Well, reverted to Piyomon for the time being, it had been maintaining it's Perfect form for some time.), and Angemon re- entered the city, found somewhere to stay and began preparing for some nice sleep after the battles earlier in the day...
Time passed, the metallic ceiling darkened in an attempt to simulate night, and Takeru, Sora, Piyomon, and Angemon had settled in for the night, if not actually having fallen asleep yet. Takeru was fast asleep once more, always having been early to sleep, as was Piyomon. But the bearer of the crest of love was still sleepless.
"My first true battle, Garudamon's return, and so many casualties... I think this is the first bit of rest we've had since this war began." Sora said sorrowfully, looking down at Takeru's sleeping form. "He seems so kind and peaceful when sleeping..." She added, getting momentarily distracted by Takeru's face... "Stop it, just because he's cute doesn't mean you have to lose yourself in love..." The bearer of love started, but...
"No, it's more then that, he's also the reason I'm still alive..." Another part of Sora said. "And besides, it's not like this is just some passing crush, I've been in love with him for some time now..." She added, thinking back to the Snimon incident three years ago. "Besides, we've been close ever since Vamdemon's first appearance." She finished, looking down at Takeru as she dozed off to sleep...
Before long, a new day began, the first day after Fallen Devimon's constant attacks on helpless digimon, the first day on File Island without Infinity Mountain's looming presence. And as the day began, Takeru and Sora had awoke and with evil out of the way, their romance would finally have time to bloom, though the specter of uncertainty loomed large...
