Juniko felt at peace for some reason, she opened her eyes, she wasn't in bed like she should have been, she was laying fully clothed in a field of flora of an unknown variety, she looked down and notice she wasn't in just any clothing but Lilithmon's dress, she recognized from photos in textbooks in the archive and the library in her study in veil of Lilitha, that's when she noticed she was surrounded by Silhouettes, that's also when she realized one of them was holding her hand, and was on the ground beside, it was obviously male by his features, only ones in the group that weren't silhouettes were Frebusmon, Lorrimon, and another girl who she had trouble recalling but had recently met her, "Tri something" she said, out-loud while thinking, this has to be a dream, hence why her mind was in a fog, but it wasn't her usual one, since by then it would have unraveled into a nightmare, this place was beyond beautiful but its so familiar but I feel like a stranger in a brand new place, who are these silhouettes, what are they to me. Lorrimon suddenly moved and was standing above her looking down at her.

"h lp %%%" Lorrimon suddenly exclaimed "Its $ VWE E#EQ $UU SS *D hT C!ll( hi))#4m"

Juniko's flitted open, and she wasn't in her bed, or in that field of flowers, there were flowers but it was a mirror garden, and she was lying on the ground in front of the mirror, and the sun was rising in the sky, how did she get, did she sleep walk here, what was that dream about, she stood up, and headed back to her castle, not noticing a palm print just appeared for a second on the mirror appearing on the inside or the other side of it.

Another figure in a hood stepped out of the shadows of a huge cherry tree, its pink blossoms fluttering in the breeze, as she walked up to the mirror. "That was close. You almost got Juniko's attention. She can't see you this early, but soon you will be free," she said, raising her right palm to the mirror. Something ascribed itself to the mirror, a weird-looking Kanji. She vanished at the same time as the kanji did, as it finished "and glad I blocked this mirror before she got here with the incarnate, her coming in contact with him so soon..would have been a disaster"

Digimon Sync 02 episode 12 "Return to Primary Village"

Karone melody entered and empty with only a long square table with regular chairs situated weirdly with an enormous throne with the ouroboros symbol on it. The rest of the former voices of Ankou, now the Harbingers of Erebosmon, except Ezekiel who was nowhere to be seen, then entered all the obsidian Knights, except Phobetormon, since most likely he wasn't a member anymore, and his recent actions with Temujin, so it was just Nyzdemon, Aethermon, Thanatosmon, as they entered, Thanatosmon features unseen by the massive armor, they wore ran up to Nyxdemon, their armor falling to the ground, and in the middle of that discarded armor was a crying infant child with glowing white pupils, and black sclerosis, his skin was kinda tan, Nyzdemon without hesitation picked the infant up.

"Pardon my child is hungry," Nyxdemon said, left-wing producing a baby bottle filled to the brim with milk.

You know that child is much much younger than, since you created him a couple of years after Erebosmon created you" Aethermon asked, only to get Nyzdemon rolling her eyes at him like he had said something not worth replying to, that's when another person arrived, a winged girl seemingly in her mid-teens looking like she was on the verge of falling asleep, the bags under her eyes seemingly vanishing and coming back every time she yawned.

"Mooother, do I have to be here, I was taking a nap," The pale girl with drooping red eyes and black hair said, with focus going from her to Nyxdemon.

"Did you ask permission to create another, one of us?" Aethermon said, speaking up again, despite the angry look Nyxdemon was giving him like how dare he ask, she had been Erebosmon's first and her attitude showed that every time she spoke, while he wasn't around.

Nyxdemon smirked and looked up at Erebosmon as he entered the room, then she nodded "Of course I did Ask, I wouldn't do anything without him saying I could, her name is Keresmon" she said, ruffling the girl's hair, as Thanatosmon nursed greedily from the bottle, gurgling like an actual baby, suddenly Keresmon, eyes widened, like she just realized there were more people in the room, and there was now a manic expression like she wanted to murder everyone else that was looking at her, she lunged at Aethermon, her nails extending like cat claws, but he dodged her, she stopped when she noticed Nyxdemon was glaring at her.

"I am sorry it won't happen again," Keresmon said, while simultaneously doing a throat slit hand gesture towards the rest of the table, then started to whistle as her hair was again ruffled as she returned to Nyxdemon, Aethermon looked at Keresmon as though she was severely mentally unstable, and never to turn their backs to.

"Now that pleasant business was taken care of, we have yet to find our wayward child, Phobetormon and Temujin Xahn are still out there, lost track of him when he was shoved through one of Lilithmon's mirrors,"Nyxdemon said and noticed Erebosmon's jaw clench when his sister was brought, and his face was slower to regenerate, which concerned her a lot, but she continued like she hadn't seen that, "I still have my other feelers out if he tries to use his digivice again, I'll know where he is right away, He'll never escape my night" she paused and shot Aethermon, a disgusted expression, because of the way he was looking at Keresmon, regardless, she would always love her brothers, and wished no harm on any of them, right now, even Phobetormon, even with what he is doing currently, she just wanted to bring him home, the human was another thing, she blamed Temujin for corrupting her brother, she could kill him in a heartbeat. "Other pressing news, an abduction attempt failed to get the Incarnation away from the archive, an unknown outside party interfered, and stopped her from being brought here"

Erebosmon growled audibly, and stood up from his throne at the end of the table

"They pushed and pulled me down, and I am forced to face, what I've become" he said, placing both hands on his face, as crumbled faster, and took longer to restore itself, in its current state it appeared like he no longer had a mouth, and his nose was about to follow, as dust to the ground, but out of nowhere just restored to the beginning of its deterioration again.

"they will pay for what they did to you, we will bathe in the blood of everyone that your sisters care most about," Keresmon said, as Nyxdemon smiled at her daughter.

"I can't punish them as they aren't here, I want them to feel my pain, I'll have them, I'll chase them, through infinite and back again, around the infernal swamp, around the door of endings, right up to its very frame, before I give her up," Erebosmon said, as he clenched his hands into fists as he lowered them to his sides.

"I promise our people will try again, to get your sister, out of the archive, and bring her here," Nyxdemon said, as she kissed the top of Thanatosmon's baby head "I will not fail you again"

"They must suffer as I did, I'll sit and make sure they do, and watch all hope drain from their faces, replaced with the void of despair, in the prison I have made for them, watch as their mirrors fail one at a time," Erebosmon said, as blood started pooling in his fists, but before the first droplet of blood-like substance could even leave his palms, Nyxdemon was tending to his wounds, it was like she had teleported, leaving Thanatosmon and Keresmon, where she had been seated, nonplussed on what was going on.

"I will always love you, my creator, and only true great old one of this world, father," Nyxdemon said, as she gently kissed Erebosmon's left then right hand.

"If you want, Thanatosmon and myself could go out and slaughter the digidestined, after we have carved up Temujin, and I am gorged on his blood," Keresmon said, sniffing catching the scent of Erebosmon's blood, looking thirsty at the thought of drinking her fill of digidestined blood.

"Keresmon, your sisters are already out there looking for Temujin, with orders to bring him back alive," Nyxdemon said, returning to her seat, and back to feeding Thanatosmon and ruffling Keresmon's hair.

"There is more than one of Keresmon, if they are as vicious as that one, I am worried for our safety, that girl tried to kill me," Aethermon said, not trying to hide the shock in his voice, ignoring the twitch in Nyxdemon's right eye, like she was going to kill if he kept talking, if him even speaking about them was insulting her "Did you make sure, that we want them back alive, and the reincarnate in one piece, killing her especially would end this world at together?"

"I only tried to kill you a little bit?" Keresmon said, slumping her shoulders, and opening her eyes wide, like a sad puppy, looked like she was fighting off tears, which made Nyxdemon even more angry with Aethermon, her eyes beginning to glow bright red, looking like blood moons.

"Of course, Since fathers wants them alive, I will bring them back alive, but unharmed is up to my daughters discretion, as they are often thirsty for blood, and might act hasty, but I made it clear, no murder unless its others important to the targets" Nyxdemon said, a smirk on her face, as she started to burp Thanatosmon, putting over her shoulder and lightly patting his back. "if you want you can join your sister in the hunt?"

Keresmon stood, kissed Nyxdemon on the cheek "I love you mommy" she said, as she grew in size, her eyes animal-like, she left clad in black armored bikini, and horns on the temples of her forehead.

"As soon as my people inside, get Lilithmon out into the open, the hunt will begin, She'll have to travel through my darkness, I want all hands available when that happens, she will be mine, She will abandonall hope as she enters, they better not fail again," Erebosmon said, as a crack started tracing its way from the top of his forehead, as he started to laugh, and everyone else and Aethermon joined in on.

-Archive-

Everything was quite in the archive, except for one flashing screen, which something was writing itself on it, but it was so jumbled it was nonsensical, on what it said, all that known looking at it was it was written red, the deciphering started flashing over it, when it finished, only words unscrambled before it was interrupted was Dear Juniko, before Alert replaced it on the screen.

Outside stood Sorami, in her sages poncho, she was watching from a close distance her little sister Enna playing with other children of varying age, they were kicking a ball around, the youngest of the lot was Reiva, one of the orphans of Arukeni village, her parents still haven't been found, oddly she looked very familiar, but she never knew a girl of her exact hair color a turquoise green, and twin ponytails, she looked over and saw the digimon partners also playing, including her sisters, they seemed also to be happy, she counted them, and noticed one of the children didn't have a digimon partner, perhaps, one child was curse one, she had to remind herself it wasn't that Child's fault that a sentinel had destroyed the digiegg on route through the green zone, she felt sorry that they probably had to deal with the ignorant superstition that had people treat them like they cause misfortune where ever they go, lucky their parents didn't euthanize them at birth, when their digiegg hadn't appeared during the final stages of birth.

"Good Morning," Juniko said, calling to Sorami, and waving at her.

Sorami sighed, and waved back, reminding herself that, her father had been gone a long time before, she had helped Juniko defeat him, before finally wave back to her. "How's life treating the Princess of life" she asked, Juniko as she got close, to be in earshot.

"I wish it wasn't just being a Princess of Life, but having a life too, I feel like people are expecting a lot from me, and love me without me being able to do anything for them, but I want to be able to do more... much much more, and that's just the residents of Lilithia," Juniko said, looking like she hasn't had a wink of sleep in days, and the world's issues could crush her at any moment. "and don't forget a certain part of the world hates me, and probably blames me for what is going on now, even though it was likely Lilithmon, who caused this, I inherited her sins, as the future version of her"

"And you don't have Takajin as your rock, in this turbulent time, you had each other to lean on in your darkest times in the past, and now he's nowhere to be found," Sorami said, placing her right hand on Juniko's shoulder to be her temporary rock, like Enna was being for her currently, and didn't know how she would deal if she ever left her for any reason."I wish I could become a digidestined again, and relieve you of some of this burden, I wish I go out and find all our missing friends, like Hikaru, who always made us all behave, on adventures, and then there is Mikuni, the one with the champion of justice complex with no filter attached, I know you are worried about them too, but don't want to talk about them either, but we need to keep them in thoughts, so they don't fade from existence I learned this from Vergil since I have become a sage. I have learned many things about empathy"

"Yet you still kinda suck at it and need more lessons of being sagely like myself," Vergil said, with a hint of joking in his tone, also meaning most of it.

"My Leader and his infinite wisdom, I won't miss him when he passes through the door of ending, like the previous sages," Sorami said, with obvious sarcasm, it was written on every inch of her face.

"You would miss every second of me and my obsession about the history of this world that was partly created by Lilithmon, under the light of Lorrimon," Vergil said, admiring the landscape, and ignoring Sorami's obvious eye-rolling, but suddenly he and Sorami turned to face Juniko, who was on her knees, crying, tears rolling down her cheeks in seeming torrents, they were making their way towards, but it Enna was there first, giving them both an angry expression, as she hugged Juniko, and Reiva watched from nearby, There was out of nowhere, a loud siren from the Archive, which momentarily pulled her out of crying, she steeled herself, and wiped the tears away, joined the others in heading back, followed by all the children, inside it was red lights everywhere, they went directly to the room with all the screens, and they all said alert.

"I told the computer to let me know if any of the mirrors start to fail, and multiple seem to be right now, and soon," Vergil said, calling up a map of dots on the screen

"Every one of these are mirrors, the one that are flashing are soon to be at capacity of absorbing Erebosmon's darkness, we either need to evacuate or provide them with ponchos like the ones we sages wear, they will keep them safe in the darkness but not from the sentinels themselves, injuries from them directly will still turn victims into sentinels too"

"Oh Right your sages Travel through the Green Zone, on their final pilgrimage to the door of endings, Hikaru told me about this," Juniko said, composing herself from the breakdown she had minutes ago, she still had puffy eyes from all the crying. "Let's go help as many as we can"

"That pilgrimage is older than my order, and began before the tower was split in two, and hopefully continue into the future," Vergil said, smiling, getting momentarily lost in the thought "We need to go to the dot that is flashing the most, which is…" he paused for a few seconds "Primary Village, isn't that where the former Kurokami brigade member Scythe still resides with her orphans, and Huang's brothers" he first ordered the offloading of any civilian too, back to the veil of Lilithia, with some protest, looking at the sky made these people nervous, and the archive seemed like that safest place in the world, but they had to, to make room for refugees, Juniko seemed to comfort them by showing them that the mirror here was far from its limit of darkness absorption, but others need the archive more right now, she promised they would be right back, once everyone else but the digidestined was gone, Vergil took Juniko aside.

"I think you should remain, in the archive, not too long ago, you were in the middle of a breakdown, I don't know how you would handle any sort of pressure on you emotionally, I have all faith in you but you, need a break I'll call you in if your presences is truly required for the situation" Vergil said, showing her his digi chip, which he had only used once but not to digievolve his partner, as far as she could remember."Huang, Leoben, and Sakura will be with me too, just stay here please"

"Ok but you guys find trouble, please use your digivice to summon me?" Juniko said, looking downcast, like someone killed her family pet.

Vergil went back to the console, and typed in the location, and they all felt the archive shift, moments later it stopped, they headed out, to take stock of the situation, see if everyone could fit, even with offloading people it might still be a tight fit, what they saw was far from what any of them expected, it was a total war zone.

"What is going on here, this place wasn't like this the last time I came here to visit Scythe, bringing clothing for the orphans, present for my brother's birthdays, this is horrible" Huang said, remembering the last time, he had been here, then he spotted people coming towards them, Familiar coloured tunics, bearing the symbol that was not close enough to be seen properly at the distance they were at rig.

-Inside the Archive-

Juniko watched on the monitor, everything happening outside, and was confused at what happened to Primary Village, who was responsible for all of this destruction, and why did they do this.

"Humanity, what a sad fragile lot," said a disembodied voice, as the A.I. Arthur appeared behind Juniko "I am the guardian of this facility, I finally meet the soon-to-be great and powerful second coming of Lilithmon"

"How old is your program?" Juniko asked, looking at Arthur's attire, which involves plate mail, over a olive tunic, and a crown on his head with Lorrimon's symbol on it, which the same as the chip of light.

"I am the last vestiges of the kingdom of Lorrim, A cautionary tale, of a bygone era, the archive was built there, and somehow it didn't share the same fate, I was designed to look, and know and act like its late king, Arthurus Phendragoon, before this place was called it also went by a different name, Avalon" Arthur said, before, turning, clenching his teeth, at the sight of a bat, hanging upside down from the ceiling, its red eyes glinting.

"What's with the bats, I have seen them around, I keep intending to ask Vergil about them," Juniko asked, curious about them, they don't seem to be normal animals or a Digimon of some king, and had looked up in the archive any mention of them.

"Nothing important, but Quite the nuisances, and should be dealt, they chew cables, you know bats?" Arthur said, with a look of disgust on his face, and muttering something barely audible that started with Vam, but she didn't hear the rest.

-Outside the Archive-

"Have you seen or have encountered the Princess of Twilight" Shouted a man very ornate tunic, similar to that, which were worn by Tajiri, the former leader of the Guardians, and Sorami's late father, but this man almost looked like a corpse, that when they noticed the Symbol on tunic was that of the guardians, Sorami looked at each of them, and didn't recognize any of them,

"Who is asking and why do you want, This Princess of Twilight, whoever she is" Vergil said, diplomatically, trying to avoid conflict, but hostility coming off these people in waves, something felt weird but he couldn't place where that feeling was coming from,

"She is wanted Criminal, You know who I am talking about, Juniko Maeda, aka Lilithmon The mother of all lies, I am Yukio Oikawa, The princess is wanted for killing Tajiri Kamiya, We are his hand of wrath, we will have no mercy when finding Thine monster, and equally to anyone that gets in our way or found hiding them "

'To Be Continued"

Are the Guardians back, and who are these Lorrigan, and are they the people Erebosmon was talking about, To answer these questions, and more, please tune into the next Digimon digital monsters!

Sneak Preview: Khyber's story Special

"Khyber, do I have to ensure you again, we are safe, and that Wiseman that save our village, told us that if we move ourselves far enough from the tainted reflection, that Lilithmon will never find us again" the woman with the book said, closing the book hard and nearly dropping it.

"That Mirror is a curse, we should have just destroyed it," Khyber said, crossing her arms defiantly, the candlelight reflecting in her grass-green eyes.

"that would draw her attention here, since she is connected with all her malice with them all" Khyber's mother said, sighing.

A broad-shouldered man came in "I could finish the story if you don't want to, my darling, you don't like singing, but I do," he said, with the mother nodding and handing the book to the man

"Daddy sing the one about the sun" Khyber said while bouncing where she sat on her bed like she was 8 years younger than she was currently, causing her father to smile, his grass-green eyes glinting with happiness, "Oh Lorrimon, Oh Lorrimon, Light up, and lead us all out of the darkness, and protect us from Lilithmon's return" he began singing, his majestic voice filling the room

"Thank you daddy, your voice fills my heart with joy I love you, mommy, and daddy!" Khyber said, taking the book from her father and hugging it.
