It was a spire similar Infinite Citadel, but polished and bright purple, it was the tower of endings, it had even a bottomless pit beneath it, but its shape was more like a weird looking N than the citadels double helix.

Stand on the very top of it was the battle for the fate of the world, between the Evil Lilithmon, her evil worshippers, versus the Digidestined.

And Lilithmon began to laugh evilly "you fools the world is mine to destroy" as the three artifacts behind her began to glow, their power throbbing with darkness.

No matter how bad things, Soichiro Kamiya will never give his power of courage up, he would finish off the demon no matter how long it would take, and he would stop Lilithmon's evil plan, in this darkest hour his virtue gave him the power he needed to overcome the darkness. The other Digidestined joined him, and their virtues combined

"Should I stop" said a man closing the book, looking at a young girl "this might be too frightening for my young daughter"

"What are you talking about, I am 6 years old, I can handle anything, but this is favorite part" said the girl in annoyance.

"I know Sorami that I haven't finished reading this to you, don't tell me you have been reading these books without my permission" sighed the man, in mocking annoyance knowing his daughter had done this.

She blushed in embarrassment "Sorry father I had to know what happened" said Sorami trying to act innocent.

"Then what happened?" Said father suddenly acting like has no clue at all what so but being very obvious that he was just messing with his daughter.

"My great… great… grandfather…" said Sorami trying to remember how many greats she had to put in front with her often putting too many and then feeling stupid "He fought the Evil Lilithmon on the tower of Infinite Endings and brought down the final defeating her once and for all saving the world from her darkness"

Her father patted Sorami on the head, and then tickled her senseless "like your ancestor you will be a great warrior someday" he said closing the book and handing it to her. "You are allowed to read it to me this once"

"You're the greatest, Father!" Said Sorami as she looked up at the broad figure of her Father, she smiled, showing her pure elation in her expression as she reopened the book, and She began to read out loud the final part in the book.

-Present day-

As Sorami stood at the door to the room her father lay unconscious in, he was out of the worst part of his recovery, but he was still too weak to leave his bed, she would get them back for what they did to him, she had to find out how they got their hands on him to begin with.

A large figure was kneeling on the floor beside the medical care bed, its armor glinted in the light of the room, running off its metallic wings, it was GuardiAngemon, her father's digimon partner, and he hadn't left his side since he had arrived days ago.

Digimon Sync Episode 26 "The Secret World of Sorami"

Huang ran through the forest village of Logonia, it was like nothing had happened, parents were still alive, he could see them in the distance, he ran to them, beside him now was his two siblings Leung, and Keung was now running at his side, they are smiling in reflection of their lively natures as they kept pace with him. They reached home; their parents greeted them as they arrived.

The sound of lightning sounded, the weather all around him shifted, now it was raining in sheets, and standing in front of him was a girl dressed in the Kurokami brigade cloaks, she was burying something, he looked down and it was four mounds of dirt, they were unmarked graves, the girl was Scythe, he recognized her from her ever color changing hair, her emotionless face was now looking at Huang like what she was doing was something she did every day of the week, the rain pour heavily as they both stared at each other, Him looking into the eyes of the one who murdered his entire family.

At that moment it was like the scene he was in distorted and was pulled from his face, and standing over him was Sorami "this wasn't meant for that, it's a training tool, and not for recalling tragic events" she said staring down at him with her icy gray eyes.

"What else am I going to do, you prevent me from going to rescue my companion Digidestined from the Kurokami brigade, you tell me they are better off dead, to the point you left them to possibly to die" said Huang glaring in the direction of Sorami, and talking through gritted teeth.

"I have news, our spies confirmed that there is now a barrier around The Infinite Citadel, and it has been up for days, making it impossible to rescue your friends" said Sorami ignoring Huang's expression, she turned her back on him. "We have orders regardless of how I feel and my better judgment, we have to rescue our fellow Digidestined, but the only way we can reenter the tower now is to capture one of them high that they can come and go as they want" she said before being interrupted by a man twice her age handing her a piece of paper before, he then left, she read the paper, her cold expression unchanging.

Huang was relieved that this stopped him having to look into her eyes because she made him feel like he was 5 years old, snot nose and behaving badly and being belittled by his mother, she gave the impression that she was way older than she really was, and he knew she was only 2 years older than he was.

"A member of the Kurokami Brigade has been spotted" said Sorami interrupting Huang's chain of thought "and you might be very familiar with this one, It's Scythe"

Huang gritted his teeth in response to hearing the name Scythe, she was the one that ruined his life, the murderer of everyone he ever cared about, and now she was the only way to get his companions back, he didn't like but it had to be done "I understand, we have to capture Scythe!" He said still gritting his teeth.

"We are heading out tomorrow morning, now get some sleep, you are coming with me" said Sorami with an edge showing that it wasn't her choice, she turned and walked away leaving Huang alone In the hallway. She entered her own personal library, it was covered wall to wall with shelve of books; they were all covered in dust. She pulled a scroll from a desk, and began to read, this place always helped her think even if she never touched any of the books anymore, looking over the scroll, she spotted the book title Legend of the Digidestined, she once long ago imagined, when she was a little girl, that she was with those Digidestined, pictured herself on a cliff with them ready for battle, but looking at these new Digidestined and now all she could see was children.

The next morning, Sorami was waiting outside, beside her was Impmon, who was getting impatient, it was 5 minutes after the time they were supposed to be gone, and Huang hadn't arrived yet "Is this kid for real?" Said Impmon sneering "your father would have kicked any recruits butt, and swearing at them like they made out with Lilithmon herself, if they are even a second late"

Huang runs up to them, "Sorry I am late, But Donica held me up in the hallway doing some sort of final check up to see if I am fit for travel" he said as he was trying to catch his breath, he leaned over breathing heavily, still not having recovered his stamina after being stuck in bed for so long, he cringed when he stood up straight to see the expression on Sorami, it still gave him chills to make eye contact with her, those gray steel eyes seemed like they were staring at his grave.

Sorami wordlessly pulled out her digivice; she inserted the chip into it, Impmon and Sorami were enveloped in the digivolution spheres, and when the spheres were gone, Sorami was on the back of Thunderbirmon, she gestured for him to get on, so they could leave now, soon as Huang was on board, Thunderbirmon took off not giving him a chance to settle, and nearly knocking him off in the process.

They were now high above the cloud; Thunderbirmon's flapping in a rhythmic pace, as they soared through the sky on her back, Huang mind was too occupied to enjoy this, as he was thinking about Scythe, and what he would do when he finally met her again, he couldn't kill her because they needed her to get into the infinite Citadel to rescue his companions, he hoped they were ok, and not dead like Sorami thinks they should, he unknowingly was now glaring at the back of Sorami's head, it was quite awhile before any of them spoke to each other.

"Where are we going" asked Huang, having never been told the night before, only that they were going to capture Scythe, and not being told where.

"It's a small fishing community called Primary village, there Scythe has been spotted on numerous occasions" said Sorami "Books say this was the starting point for all life on this world, that the dream maiden laid the first digi-egg, that contained both digimon and their human partner"

"Never heard of the dream maiden" said Huang trying to remember the stories told to him as a child by his father, "Some stories also say the Light Bringer created the Digi-chips"

"There are a lot of stories, who knows which ones are true and which ones aren't, I have read a lot of books, and each changes the details of the creation of the worlds, but for some reason Lilithmon comes out of nowhere in legends, and tries to destroy all life" Sorami replied like she was lecturing a child "I haven't touched any of the books speaking of legends since I was 12, and my memory of things is a bit rusty.

They traveled for hours talking about myths and legends, till they finally arrived at Primary village, and landed near its outskirts, and waited to be welcomed by its major. It was very impressive looking for a fishing village; its house looked like speckled eggs of many colors, and one like toy blocks, which might be the city hall. At this point Huang noticed a boy walking towards them, he was staggering face downcast, until he was right beside Thunderbirmon, he looked up at Huang, "Cheese is a breeze, as I sneeze" he said before crumpling to his knees, and began to bash his head into the ground, till trickled down his forehead, he ran off before Huang could do anything about it.

"That was weird?" Huang said staring at the strange boy as he ran off, wondering what the heck was wrong with him, was everyone like this in primary village, but before he could get an answer a heavy grumbled voice called out, he turned from the direction of the strange boy to small man in a very fancy colorful tunic, wearing a Toque that looked like a spotted egg, he was very heavy set from someone so short, he had small mustache, and patch of hair beard.

"Guardians I welcome you to Primary Village, I am Mayor Aggs Benedict the 23rd" The heavy set man said giving them a formal bow "I am glad you have come, sorry we need your help for another reason other than the one you came here for, follow me and I'll update you on the current situation"

They dismounted from the back of Thunderbirmon, and she dedigivolved into Impmon, and they followed the mayor. "There has been an unsettling amount of disappearances, but that's not the worst part of it, it's when they return that's the problem, they come back insane, whatever takes them take their sanity completely away, some are harmless like that boy you encountered, while others become violent and have to be imprisoned for the safety everyone, one went on a murder spree before they were subdued" said Benedict as he wiped a tear from under his right eye, trying to remain dignified after talking about such a sensitive subject.

"We came here for the war criminal Scythe, but we will look into your current situation" said Sorami as she took a measure of the mayor. "But as soon as we find Scythe, we will have to leave, if that happens we will send someone else here to investigate the matter further"

"I am glad to hear that" said Benedict wiping sweat from his forehead, as he wasn't use to doing a lot of walking at his age "My digimon Elecmon, will show you to your guest quarters" he pointed to the red and blue digimon with multiple tails, that smiled as it reached them, and gestured cheerfully to follow him.

Elecmon led them to a small bluish small egg shaped house, which seemed like a very fancy cottage, "if you need any help just whistle and brother will show up to help you" said Elecmon, just about turning to leave, when he stopped "I think what is going on with these people is the curse of Lilithmon, since this was the home of Kiseki, one of the legendary digidestined, her house is right around the corner there, it has a statue with the emblem of the chip of curiosity on it right in front of it"

Sorami walks off without saying a word, followed by Huang, till they reached a humble looking home also egg shaped but this one was red, in front of it was the statue of a young girl about his age, her expression one of serenity, but with a little mischievous grim, last time he saw an expression like this was on his youngest brother Keung, which made his heart ache for home. Sorami ran her hand across the symbol of Curiosity "This is one of the missing Digi-Chips; whoever has it hasn't made their presence known, or it could be it hasn't been found by its chosen yet"

At that moment someone in a black cloak ran around a corner, the cloak bared the symbol of Lilithmon, they were too small to be Scythe, but could lead them to her, Huang gave pursuit despite the objection from Sorami, who followed after her warning had obviously fallen on deaf ears, they followed the small cloaked till they eventually lost them, in a crowd of people, which they never saw the person exit, and looking through the crowd itself had no person wearing a cloak at all, they must have ditched it. Seeing if the figure showed up again, they waited for an hour. Sorami and Huang gave up and headed back to the cottage as it was starting to get dark.

Not knowing that a group of people dressed in Kurokami brigade cloaks, watched from a concealment not that far from them, but not close enough that could hear them "Why is he with them" said one of them whispering "Huang is here, but he is with her" said one of them, obviously a young boy of age of 10, from the sound of his voice, when he finished speaking the one that had been running from Sorami and Huang joined them. One of them turned rapidly giving that one a light thump to the head with their fist, there was a barely audible grunt from the one that one hit "Are you nuts, you could have gotten yourself, wearing that cloak when you are spying on them, I should hit you harder for that one" she the one that hit the others, in a girl's voice for this one, by the sound of her tone she was older but not by much.

"He is sorry, Echo!" Said the cloaked boy, which had first spoken, he sounded nervous talking to the girl had slugged the one that just arrived.

"I know he was thoughtless, we don't need any attention from the likes of her, she could have killed Silence, do you understand that Reverb" said Echo as she points at Sorami "Something feels wrong about what's happening to these people, we need to find out what it is before Scythe returns" she said turning to face everyone with her. "I'll stay and watch them, you all head back"

Reverb and Silence nodded, and sighed, while heading back with the others joined by their digimon partners before they left, as Echo watched the cottage Sorami and Huang were staying in, one of the cloaked people returned "Sonic, why did you not return to the sanctuary, I know you don't guardians, but I told you to go home" she said sounding annoyed and confused.

"This is my home town, why shouldn't I stay with you and help?" Said Sonic as he pulls his hood back revealing a boy around the age of 12, he has an olive complexion, and green hair in a ponytail.

"Ok fine, Sonic you can stay" said Echo giving a sigh, and turned around to continue her vigil on the cottage "We are going to let them do the investigating for us"

Back at the cottage, Huang was about to fall asleep, when a light poured through his room's window, he woke up, getting out of bed, walked up to the window, hovering out there was a familiar sight, the girl with long red hair. He opened the window, and exited the cottage, she moved forward as he came outside, he tried to get close to see her face, but she kept moving forward, he gave up and tried to keep pace with her she was trying to show him something important or tell him something he needed to hear. Huang continued to follow the mysterious red haired girl,
