Prologue
The Beginning of the End

A letter to the reader:
Walk the Path of Light… Walk the Path of Darkness…

For as long as anyone can remember, there have always been two worlds on this planet… The normal world and the Digital World… This Digital World that co-exists with the ‘normal’ world is home to creatures called Digital monsters, or just Digimon for short. These Digimon ranged from small, young creatures to massive, powerful beasts. We are similar to them… Sometimes, the similarities are not that visible while at other times, it is glaringly obvious… They are still similar to us; we both have moral codes, intellectual thoughts and the power to think beyond the normal capacity… The only difference is that Digimon possess fantastical, unreal, even deadly supernatural powers… Their powers range from the ability to levitate a small teaspoon to the power to cause a Hurricane, even to take lives in mass numbers with the simple flick of a finger. Creatures of greatness, of power, of destiny… But there are three different affiliates for Digimon, the Vaccine, the Data and the Virus… Each with their good and bad… Digimon were separated into two sides, the ones of the Vaccine of the Light and the ones of the Virus of the Dark… They hate each other with their hearts; fear them, because they are just so alike… Nonetheless, even though their powers and abilities are great; they are still living beings, and speak in the languages used by humans… Young Digimon are capable of ‘digivolving’ into higher forms. They are intelligent, and speak in a language understandable by most humans. And so the digiworld existed alongside our world… But some things are more capable than you realise, those who forget this will perish… But so the Digital World existed alongside our world….

Not all Digimon all good… There are those who have fallen into the darkness, swallowed into a void of nightmares and chaos… No light shall ever shine into that void… They are simply heartless, the followers of the path of darkness… They hate those with purity, light and goodness radiating from their hearts; fear them, because once they were just like them…

Somewhere in a world, there is a core of it. A digicore, you may call it. It holds each and every fragment of a person. It archives each person’s story from the beginning to the end… It holds positive emotions of courage, kindness, friendship, and negative emotions of revenge, hatred, distrust. It is the very essence of life; the very heart of all beings…

There are things in each world that mustn’t be discovered… Such as the core of a world… The centre of a world is sealed away by a door, a gate, to never be opened again, for so it has been said and should ever be.

Although some do good and right, others are corrupted into darkness; seduced by evil… They yearn for darkness, and let darkness engulf them…

Until the creation of the Internet; no human knew the digital world existed. And now, only a very miniscule amount of people know it does. The small amounts of humans are called the digidestined. They were chosen by higher powers in the digiworld to free the world of evil threats. They were given a partner digimon, a digivice, which is a device to help their digimon digivolve, and most of them, a crest. These crests helped their digimon digivolve to their highest forms. They were a team of eleven. There was a particular reason these eleven humans, human children were chosen… A reason which held the Digital World in jeopardy…

When the digidestined were first sent to the Digital World, they had to battle a number of digimon that threatened them, and the fate of both worlds, the real and digital. They finally found the root of the evil and fallen digimon, Devimon. They fought and destroyed Devimon, and travelled to the continent of Server, where they encountered the evil Etemon and Myotismon. After destroying Etemon, they chased Myotismon back to the human world, where he was trying to find the eigth digidestined. They destroyed him before he could, and recruited the eigth digidestined, Kari, the sister of one of the older digidestined, Tai. But Myostismon was not gone. He returned in the form of VenomMyotsimon. The children were finally able to fully destroy him, and he disappeared. But the digidestined’s problems were not over. They were sent back to the digiworld, where they encountered four digimon of tremendous power. These four evil digimon called themselves the ‘Dark Masters’. The group was composed of MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon, Machinedramon and Piedmon. After many battles, the digidestined destroyed all four of them, and had a final battle with the most evil digimon of all, Apocalymon.

But finally, after the efforts of many people, DigiDestined, humans and digimon alike, the last of the evil Digimon had been defeated. They sealed him away, partners. People and digimon alike rejoiced and the DigiDestined and their partners were smiling with relief; a battle had been won. The DigiDestined’s help was no longer needn’t in the Digital World so they finally returned back to the human world, saying goodbye to their digimon, A battle was won. But the war was not over yet…

Years later, a new threat sprung up. A human boy, calling himself the ‘Digimon Emperor’, was threatening the peace of the digiworld. Three new digidestined were chosen, and they, along with two members of the original team, were able to show the Digimon Emperor the error of his ways. He joined up with them. After fighting a score of more evil threats, the digidestined finally learned the cause of all the evil. Myotismon had returned in an even stronger form called MaloMyotismon. He had spread his wickedness throughout the digiworld and human world, and was threatening to send both worlds into eternal darkness. After a harsh fight, the digidestined finally destroyed MaloMyotismon, and saved the world. Everything returned to normal, and the digidestined returned back home once more. Little did they know that was only the beginning…

Baromon, a male digimon, was blessed with the power of precognition; he was able to foresee the future to come. He oversaw the fate and destiny of the Digital World. Before his powers were weakened after many centuries of service, he wrote all of his prophesies in a series of journals. His journals were then lost and he died at the hands of a digimon called Lucemon. His journals were not to be taken lightly and for a good reason…

It was six months after the fall of MaloMyotismon. Things are quiet in the digiworld. Calm reigned, and the Digimon were very happy to finally live in peace, without something or someone threatening them. Their peace, however, was short lived. Something was brewing under the façade of the happy, peaceful Digital World… Somehow, Digimon were suddenly stuck down by a plague, a virus of some sort, making them losing all levels of intelligence or morality… Becoming almost instantly locked into a state of irreversible hyperactive and murderous insanity…

Their Digimon are panicking and digidestined are worried and confused… It was almost as if they couldn’t do anything. Somehow, a hypersensitive force of some sort, residing in the Digital World preventing digivolution and Armour Digivolution of the original digidestined… Soon the Digital World started to fall into chaos…
Also, during the midst of chaos, all those who had former affiliates with the Dark Masters and Malomyotismon had disappeared mysteriously. The DigiDestined knew this was not a simple coincidence…

But Izzy finally found something that brought both hope to the DigiDestined, and a chill down their spine. In a city of the Celestial Planes, he had discovered a handwritten journal; the handwriting was Baromon’s. He brought the journal to his team-mates and inside was as follows:


Those of the Vaccine and those of the Virus fight bitterly with one another. Some may say it is necessary, others say it is stupid and pointless. But soon, they will be forced to be reunited, for what the future holds for this planet is beyond my imagination- and my nightmares. The Return of Myotismon, the reign of a new digimon; all of those are horrible, terrible things that will happen. But what I have seen is more terrible than all two of these combined. Long ago, when the world was still young, an entity of pure evil emerged.

It had powers beyond people’s imaginations. It was almost invincible. Soon this evil spread throughout the worlds like an epidemic and consumed the hearts of Digimon with evil and corrupted them. People were in despair; they did not know what to do. But the Six Legendary DigiDestined, humans, actually children in fact, emerged. The Six fought in a climatic battle against the evil of Lucemon. The Six won but were only able to seal the evil away, for the cost of their spirits.

The children let go of there spirits and hid them. The ten spirits slept. They awaited the return of the digidestened.

The Evil then waited patiently for the right moment to strike. When it comes, most Digimon will lose there minds, hearts and souls. All hope will be lost but this prophesy is the answer, the only answer, to this evil:

“Four strange fingers form Fate’s hand,
First, the Darkness fights the Light
Second, Darkness helps the Light ,
The Evil of The Past shall be freed again.
Brothers and Sisters
The four will save two worlds.
Brother helps brother,
Sister helps sister,
The love they share will save us all.
The loss of many will give them strength
The Ten all together will save the world at last”.

To unravel this mystery, these Eleven must travel into the Digital World, into the Ends of the World, into the Core, to undo this evil but woe to these Eleven as troubled times lie ahead of them. The war may seem to be won but the real battle has just begun and the true evil was still waiting for the perfect chance to strike…

And those who face the wrath of the evil shall feel the indescribable pain. I wish them luck, for they will need as much as they can possibly get.

The DigiDestined looked at each other. They knew what was to be done. If what Baromon said was true then the Eleven must be found as it was their only hope. Somebody had to travel into the realms of the now chaotic Digital World and undo this evil and horror. The DigiDestined certainly (did and didn’t) hoped that the legend was true…
