Junko, Kotoko and their partners headed back to their room. After the trial, they both wanted to relax.

"At least that's done." Junko remarked, noticing a body impaled to the wall.

[Despair Pollution Noise]

It was a teenage girl, dressed in just a slightly unbuttoned short sleeve shirt and a red miniskirt with cream-colored sockless loafers. Her long chestnut hair was wet and her hands were impaled into the wall with scissors.

"Great, another murder." Veemon added as they examined the body.

"Thankfully, the culprit is obvious." Misa explained, walking up to them.

"What are you talking about?" Fairymon responded.

"It's Genocider Syo."

"That crazy murderer that shares its body with that author?" Junko answered, looking at Misa.

"Yes, but she doesn't usually just murder people." The two of them headed to Byakuga's room and Misa knocked.

Byakuga immediately opened the door, allowing them inside.

"Hey weren't you dead?" Junko accused and Byakuga laughed.

"Yes, but the afterlife immediately kicked me out." Byakuga answered and the two girls entered.

"So, I'm guessing you were too heirous for them." Misa joked and Junko looked at her.

"That wasn't even funny." Lilithmon remarked and Byakuga sat down on the bed.

"What's is what you need to talk about?"

"Syo is going around murdering people!"

"That cannot be possible." Byakuga led them over to a closet, sliding the door open.

Toko's body hung motionless in front of them along with a kicked stool.

A note was taped to her stomach.

Dear cruel world,

Today, I have decided this world isn't worth it without my beloved.

Because of this, I leave this world in tears...

Toko Fukawa

"That still doesn't make any sense." Junko added, heading towards the door and exited.

"She's dead!" Lilithmon remarked."What did you expect?"

Misa just stood there.

"Byakuga, are you going to be all right?" She questioned and Byakuga laughed.

"Of course I will, Makoto!" Byakuga answered and Misa left the room, closing the door. Byakuga sat back down on the bed, starting to cry.

"Sex?"

"No." He approached the desk, pulling a notebook out and wrote some stuff down.

"Come on, it'll get your mind off of your friend!"

"Let's see... my friend just committed suicide and her murderous alter-ego is now going around killing people. I think sex at this or any moment is going to improve this situation!" He left the room, slamming the door behind him and cleared his. Lilithmon opened the door back up and followed behind. Byakuga examined the body, placing his hands on it.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for identification."

He searched the corpse's clothes, finding nothing and noticed the method of impalement.

"How..." A bright flash came over him, showing Toko watching him for a brief second. "Now I'm just going crazy."

"You called that ninja girl, Makoto."

"That isn't her name."

"You're lying."

"I'm not."

"Head back to the room and wait there."

"Fine!" Lilithmon stormed off back to Byakuga's room while he made one more look over the body.

"Here we go." He finally pulled out the ElectroID, taking a quick glance at it. "So you're Akane Owari. What a fool."

Another flash came over him, showcasing Syo killing Akane. Byakuga held his head. He then pulled out his ElectroID.

"Hello Byakuga." A voice remarked and he turned. Genocider Syo stood right in front of him. However, no skin remained upon her body along with no eyes.

He stared into the endless void.

"Where is she?!"

"Oh, that pathetic husk of a persona?" Syo began to laugh and Byakuga slapped her, causing millipedes to wiggle out of her."She never existed, my love. She was just a seal to prevent me from completing my goal."

"That being?"

"It's in the name, honey."

"You're going to kill everyone."

"Yep!"

Byakuga charged a right hook, slamming his fist into Syo.

"Catch me if you can!"

Syo ran off and Byakuga just stood there. A few minutes later, he headed back to his room.

"Is everything all right?" Lilithmon questioned, Byakuga just sat on his bed. At least now she was dressed in a black gown.

"No!"

"I'm heading out."

"Why?"

"Because I want to try something." Lilithmon headed out the door, Byakuga following behind.

Syo had probably came through the hallway a second time, judging from Aoi's corpse now hanging outside their room.

"She's been working."

"Indeed." Genocider Syo ran towards them, Lilithmon holding her hand out.

"Now you've become a pain." Syo remarked, charging towards them.

"I believe it's the other way around." Just as Syo reached them, Lilithmon slapped her down.

Nazer Nail!

Syo's "skin" turned purple, corroding into dust. A few seconds later, her body reformed itself.

"Darn it!"

"Now what?"

"Run!"

They headed down the hall, constantly making sure Syo was not following them.

"This would be a good time for an explanation!" The two ducked into a convenient closet, closing the door.

"Yep."

Byakuga watched his partner.

"Then what is it?"

"Genocider Syo is not your average murderer."

"What is she then?"

"She is a Reaper."

"A Reaper?"

"Digimon-like creatures that are designed to murder human and digimon alike without care or mercy."

"Digimon?"

"Short for digital monsters."

"Okay, so how are we supposed to defeat it?"

"Only one person has ever defeated one, Byakuga Togami."

"That's me."

"But I doubt you have the prowess to do so."

"You underestimate me, Byakuga Togami? I'll show you."

He exited the closet, getting immediately killed by Syo.

"Where am I now?" Byakuga thought, looking around.

He was floating in some kind of empty black infinite void.

"A great hero you once were. Now, you're just some washed-up overconfident idiot who believes they're ruler of everything." A voice taunted.

"Who are you and why do you taunt me?"

"I am Azulongmon, Digimon Sovereign of the East." A bright flash appeared above him, revealing a light blue Chinese dragon covered in chain with some weird mask on his head. "I have watched all of you, especially you and the tamer."

"Tamer?"

"Yes. Junko Enoshima, Super High School Level Tamer."

"I thought she was a Fashionista."

"Well, future generations after her dulled the Enoshima legacy. Now back to the point..."

"Not that I care." A bolt of lightning struck the "ground" in front of him.

"Then I'll make a deal with you."

"As in?"

"You slay her, and I'll give Toko back."

"Fine."

A bright flash came over him, and Byakuga found himself back in his room. For some reason, when you die, you end up in front of a bed.

"Feeling much better, Byakuga?" Lilithmon questioned and Byakuga nodded.

"Sure." Byakuga answered and dusted himself off."This we'll be easy."

He quickly stormed out, leaving Lilithmon behind.

'Byakuga, do you miss me?'

The words burrowed into his head as he tried to find their source. Syo wasn't anywhere near him for once and no one else was in the hallway.

"Come out!" He shouted, continuing to look around for the person.

'You're funny, Byakuga!'

He headed away from the rooms, heading somewhere. He made a few turns, eventually ending up in front of a door, probably leading to a classroom. He opened the door, heading to the nearest desk. He quickly sat down, placing his head down on the table and started to sob.

"Stop speaking into my head."

'Am I hurting you, Byakuga?'

"Yes! Yes you truly are!"

'You're so funny, Byakuga!'

He covered his ears, to no avail.

"Why won't you leave me alone?!"

'We made a promise, Byakuga.'

"I have no memory of said promise!"

"Of course you don't. So I'll sum it up for you."

"What is it then?!"

"That you would never leave me and I would never leave you."

Another flash, revealing Toko comforting him.

'Now go out and fight!'

"Sometimes the good guys have to lose." The flash went away and Byakuga got up, leaving the classroom.

"No..."

The bodies of the Class 78 lined the walls. But unlike the first body, they were all killed in a different way.

"See? I'm not the only one who can murder a bunch people!" Syo taunted and Byakuga looked down at the ground.

'No matter what, never give up...'

From a distance, a BlackGatomon watched from the door of Junko and Kotoko's room. She quickly slipped a note under the door and pulled out a pocketwatch, making a quick glance at it.

"I guess the visit to my former master I was going to have will just have to wait then..." A sphere of butterflies surrounded her, leaving behind nothing.

Byakuga looked at Syo, a cocky grin forming over his face.

"You're on, Syo." He answered...

There was a different plan for this chapter, but that plot point will be resolved later.

It is coming and no one is safe...
