Assistant: Well, as all things must come to an end, so must this story. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing it and hope it is enjoyed by many in the future. Now, for the final time, I don't own digimon or the two shows where I get my concepts of alchemy and elemental bending. Those two shows are Full Metal Alchemist and Avatar, The Last Air Bender.
Chapter 15
Ronomon, we hardly knew you.
It had now been about a week and a half since the final battle between Sakyuamon and ShadowSakyuamon. Life in West Shinjuku had returned to normal, well as normal as could be expected. Many of the tamers were still torn up about the fact Ronomon, the one who had reunited them with their partners, was now gone. As soon as Sakyuamon had broken apart into Rika and Renamon they saw Ronomon's data fad into the night, left to float the wind. Though the tamers felt terrible about what had happened to Ronomon they knew Yamachi felt worse, and this was true. Yamachi hadn't gone to the Hypnos building since the battle. He had just been wandering the park, in a fog. He hadn't realized how close he had gotten to Ronomon over the few days they were together. He knew that Ronomon was only data, just like the other digimon, but he now knew how those kids had felt when their partners were pulled away from them after the D-Reaper incident. His head kept telling him to get out of this slump, but his heart just kept hoping that Ronomon might come back, just like the other partners had. He knew though that unlike them, he was gone for good. His data was probably half way across the world by now. It was afternoon when Yamachi finally decided to go home, but on the way home he met up with Rika and Renamon. Renamon had told Rika how Yamachi had been pacing the park all day, every day since the battle. Rika was the first to break the silence by saying, "Hay, do you want to talk about it."
Yamachi quickly regained his usual composure and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't give me that cool guy act," she replied, "I know you miss him, the simple fact you haven't been into Hypnos since the event is a tell tale sign."
"I would love to just talk to you two ladies for hours, but I need to get back to my apartment." Yamachi then left the duo, holding in all his feeling until he got back to his apartment. By the time he got back to his apartment it was around 11:00 at night. It had been 6:00 when he had left the park, but he had taken the most scenic route back to his apartment. He fell into his bed and went straight to sleep. As he slept the whole battle replayed in his head, making him relive the whole experience several times, but on the third replay his perspective changed suddenly. He was in Ronomon's shoes, and he felt what Ronomon had felt. He felt his powerful desire to protect Sakyuamon, the tamers, their families, and himself. He then gained an understanding of why Ronomon had sacrificed himself. He was taking the path to the best possible outcome. If he had let the battle as it was, it could have lead to all of them being killed. Then ShadowSakyuamon killing the sovereign, and used her power to become the empress of the digital world.
Yamachi was then stirred from his dream by his alarm clock going off. It was 7:00 in the morning, the time he usually got up to go to work. He decided to go to work for the first time in several days. He got showered and was walking into the kitchen. He was still extremely tired from the night before. So his mind wasn't at full working order when he sat down at his dinning table and began to eat the food from the plate in front of him. His mind then caught up with his body, and he almost choked on the food he had in his mouth. He then remembered he had never set his alarm clock last night, and the fact this food was sitting in front of him all pointed to one conclusion. He looked around and then heard a quiet laugh coming from the corner of the room. He turned to notice that the corner was shrouded in darkness, but the laughter still came from there. He soon let a small smile cross his face and he said, "You know, you forgot I like my eggs scrambled."
A familiar voice came from the corner as a figure materialized from the shadows. It was saying, "Sorry, being broken into a thousand bits of data for 10 days will do that to you."
The End
Assistant: Well, again I say, it has been a pleasure. Be looking for some of my other stories. I would also open up an offering to anyone who has an idea for a story, but doesn't fancy themselves a writer or doesn't have the time. If you e-mail me the idea I will read it over, and if I like it I will make an attempt at it. For your knowledge I am pretty informed about the first 3 digimon series, Inuyasha, Harry Potter, and Full Metal Alchemist. Hope to hear from you.
