Angemon had finally broken the crystal, and Angewomon's body fell limply out onto the ground. He ran over and picked her up, Gene calmly walked behind him.
"You're too late, Angemon." He said smiling. He laughed his evil laugh. Angemon couldn't control his temper any longer that he charged at Gene, sword in hand, trying to kill him for what he has done. As Angemon was about to stab him, an invisible force blocked him, and he bounced back, Gene unscathed.
"How dare you!" Angemon yelled at Gene, who just stood there, smiling. He was using the light energy taken from Angewomon, and created a dark shield that originated from the crystal. Although it was broken, its power was still there, and Gene was able to use it.
"Hand of Fate!" Angemon punched out a holy blast with all his strength and fury.
"Bunny Blast!" Gargomon appeared out of nowhere, and combined his attack with Angemon's. It hit the barrier and a small hole appeared, the whole barrier becoming visible as it weakened. The edges were still smoking from the power.
Unfortunately, Angemon couldn't attack because he was distracted by Gargomon's sudden appearance. Gargomon smiled and waved hi, and the hole slowly began to heal and close, and Gene started to laugh again. He was cut shot as a pink arrow impaled him, piercing his heart. Angemon's head snapped back to Angewomon and he saw her collapse again, still holding her bow.
"NO!" Gene yelled as he turned into a ball of dark energy, then exploding. The dark crystal shards then shone brightly, and also disappeared.
"Oh, yeah! Great job Prince Angemon!" Gargomon cried, apparently not witnessing the arrow's contribution to it all. Then he realized Angemon was not there anymore beside him. He was cradling the Princess in his arms in the center of the clearing.
"I'm sorry, Angewomon." Angemon sadly whispered, hugging her. He knew that if humans died, they do not turn to dust like Digimon. "I'm sorry for not saving you." He then yelled to himself. "Why didn't I recognize you!"
Gargomon walked towards Angemon, patting his shoulder.
"Angemon?" He said. He didn't know what else to do. "There's no hope. Lets just take her back to the palace to have a proper burial."
Angemon became infuriated with Gargomon. "There is hope." He said through gritted teeth. Then realized Gargomon meant well, and calmed himself. "Lets carry her to her bedroom to rest. She can wake up later..." He said, looking away.
"Angewomon!" Kari cried, as she saw Angemon carrying her limp body inside the castle. Gargomon was beside him, solemn.
"Please, Kari, we need to put her on her bed to rest." Angemon said quietly, he assumed that just like TK, Kari was Angewomon's Lady in Waiting.
"Oh, yes, right this way, Prince of Hope." Kari recognized Angemon right away, and she led them to Angewomon's room. As Angemon stepped in, Kari held back Gargomon, and they both left them alone.
He gently placed her on her bed, and placed the blankets on her. He sat on the edge of her bed, looking at her. Her blonde hair was tangled, and he tried to smooth it out with his hands. He moved on to her face, which was pale. There was a small curve in her rosy lips that indicated a mysterious smile. Angewomon's mysterious smile. He gently touched her cool, pale cheeks, and was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. He wrapped his arms around her upper body and hugged her tightly, tears falling from his blue eyes. After a few minutes of just pure stillness of him holding her, he put her down again and stood up. He pulled one chair beside the bed, and he sat, holding her hand, and waited.
Kari entered the room and found Angemon sleeping in an uncomfortable position on a hard chair. She smiled, and brought a blanket to cover him. Then she left.
Unseen by anybody, a shard of the Crystal of Darkness floated into the room through an open window, and hovered over Angewomon's body. It was the last shard, and it was glowing. Unfortunately, like all the other shards, it too must be destroyed. As it began to shine brightly, it transformed into a symbol of light, and it slowly lowered and landed on Angewomon's chest. She briefly lit up along with the shard, then as the shard disappeared and died, Angewomon's light also died. And all was still and quiet.
"I asked myself why
I sleep like a baby through the night
Maybe it helps to know
You'll be there tomorrow"
Angemon heard a voice singing. It was muffled, but he knew it as the song in his lost memory. He felt something squeeze his hand gently.
"Angemon."
Angemon heard the same voice, whispering his name. It was echoing. He opened his eyes.
"Angemon." A female voice whispered next to him. Another squeeze on his hand. He looked beside him and found Angewomon's blue eyes staring straight at him. She was smiling. Still exhausted, only her head moved on its side to watch Angemon's awakening. Angemon jumped up and hugged her tightly again.
"Angewomon." He whispered into her ear, slightly muffled by the pillow in his face.
"What did I miss?" Angewomon weakly said as he held her.
"Nothing at all. Nothing." Angemon replied. Angewomon touched his face again, like she had done in the Digital World, seeming like a long time ago.
"Do I know you, stranger?" She asked jokingly even in her weak state, still smiling. Angemon, still bent over, leaned even farther, and Angewomon wrapped her arms around his strong neck, and they kissed passionately for the first time, tears streaming down Angewomon's face.
Gargomon was unfortunate enough to walk in at such a sight, and he stood there silent in the background, tearing as he saw the angels' love.
And what about the laughter
The happy ever after
Like voices of sweet angels
Calling out our names
And it's not just wishful thinking
Or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love
All my life
I have dreamed of this
But I could not see your face
Don't ask why two such distant stars
Can fall right into place
Anyone whos seen us
Knows whats going on between us
It doesn't take a genius
To know what these are symptoms of
We could be
We could be in love
THE END
