Finale: The Chosen Destiny

In the center of the plaza leading to the Crystal Palace, there are three crystal statues leaning together: the Ultimate Angelmon, the Divine Celestial, and the Cherubimon.

The Jade Rabbit Beast looked at the statue quietly and sighed lightly.

He used to be the three great angels, but now he was temporarily taken away by the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast. Now, the Jade Rabbit Beast is not qualified to govern.

Remembering that after hatching from the digital egg, it had all the memories of the past, indicating that the memories of the past had not disappeared at all. Everyone who knew that the Jade Rabbit Beast had not lost its memory was also very surprised. After all, the Digimon reborn in the form of a Digimon still retains the memories of the past, which is a strange story.

Of course, this is also thanks to the ancient ancestors, the Digimon.

This is because the Digimon are in constant contact with Jade Rabbitmon and convey information about the future. That's why it sees that in the near future, the digital world is facing a terrible catastrophe. Even though the fate of destruction was predestined, the Jade Rabbit did not want the City of Angels to be implicated by the disaster.

It sees a future in which the 'gods' send 'knights' to execute 'divine punishment' on the city of angels on the grounds that the 'angels' have not kept their promises. Only his former disciple can save the City of Angels, and only the human girl can let him carry out his duty.

That's why the Digimons stopped themselves from killing their disciples at the end of the war thousands of years ago, right?

When the Jade Rabbit Beast recalled the past, it was already dusk, and the phantom flowers of the square lawn danced in the wind in the grass, shining with colorful and brilliant light in the dark night.

"Jade Rabbit Beast."

At this moment, the voice of the Celestial Maiden came, interrupting its thoughts.

"What's wrong, Celestial Maiden?"

"Can you come with me to the statue memorial?"

The Celestial Maiden barely smiled.

"Ice Sorcermon is carving a statue of the Holy Angelmon in honor of him"

"I think it's better to call you because"

"I understand, let's go together now."

Nodding slightly, the Jade Rabbit Beast replied. After all, the Holy Angelmon worked hard to recapture itself as a Digi Egg, and in the end, it was sacrificed for its mission, and even its Digi Egg was missing.

The death of the Divine Angel Beast is also indirectly related to the Jade Rabbit Beast.

※※※※※

After arriving at the statue memorial area, the Ice Wizard Beast had just finished carving the statue of the Divine Angelmon, and the Slash Angel Beast was also standing aside.

"Oh~! Is the Jade Rabbit Beast also here to commemorate the Divine Angel Beast? ”

Seeing the Jade Rabbit Beast, he was a little excited to slash the Angel Beast.

"I'm also responsible for the sacrifice of the Divine Angel Beast, I'm sorry, everyone."

Looking at the statue of the Holy Angelmon, the cherubimon apologized softly.

"Where, where! You don't need to blame yourself! It was because of that abominable vampire beast that my friend lost his life. ”

When it comes to vampire monsters, slashing angel beasts gritted their teeth.

"As long as the Divine Heavenly Maiden Beast gives the order to annihilate the dark forces, I must be the leader of the stormtroop and destroy him first!"

"Calm down, slash the Angelmon,"

Compared to slashing angelmon, the Ice Wizardmon behaved calmly.

"It's a time of peace, so you can't mess around. What's more, the Digi Egg of Lord Cherubimon was given to the City of Angels by the Vampires**. ”

"Since he returned the Digi Egg, it means that he doesn't want to have a dispute with the City of Angels."

"But the sacrifice of the Divine Angel Beast is also a fact, the companion was killed by the dark forces, and we should punish him as a matter of course."

Slash the Angelmon to fight for its dead companions.

The Celestial Maiden could only sigh secretly, she didn't want to intervene about her friend's death.

"Holy Angelmon wasn't killed by a Vampire Beast, it's another Digimon."

The voice of the Jade Rabbit Beast interjected.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened along the way, the Digimon has been wiped out. However, the Holy Angel and the Vampire Beast reached a deal before he traded the Digi Egg. ”

"All this was told to me by the ancient ancestors."

"Why are you so sure?"

It's like favoring vampire monsters. The Celestial Maiden asked in a somewhat cold tone.

After all, the Digi Eggs of Cherubimon have been sealed by Vampire Beasts for a long time. Its powerful power of good deeds is in turn prone to evil, and just in case, the Divine Maiden Beast temporarily forbade it to resume its identity.

"Ancient Ancestors don't lie, and no Digimon will lie in the name of Ancient Ancestors."

The Jade Rabbit replied firmly.

"All right, guys. Now that the statue of the Holy Angel Beast has been carved, let's pray for him. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the Ice Wizard Beast immediately made a round.

"Yes, we should still bless our deceased friends."

Slash Angelmon agrees with Ice Wizardmon's words.

"Okay, put the unhappy things aside."

If you lose your temper because of the words of the Jade Rabbit Beast, it is really too unusual. The Celestial Maiden agreed with the Ice Wizardmon's suggestion.

So, the four Digimon prayed in front of the statue of the Divine Angelmon.

"I'm sure you'll see us again in the future, friend."

After the prayer, the Slash Angel Beast looked at the statue with a sad feeling.

"Even if you forget your memories after being reborn, the bonds of friendship will not change."

"We will never forget you, Holy Angelmon."

The Ice Wizard Beast also said.

"Your mission is complete, and you promised us that we would come back. So, we will always be waiting for you. ”

"I used to think that you were very talkative, and I often lost my temper with you, but you never got angry."

Recalling her life, the Celestial Maiden smiled bitterly.

"But you always think about the people around you and want to contribute to the City of Angels. You did, really. ”

"I'm kind of nostalgic for your words. If you do return to the City of Angels in the future. No matter how talkative you are, I'll never lose my temper with you again."

Finally, it was the turn of the Jade Rabbit to speak to the statue.

"Although I don't know you, I am grateful that you fought for justice in the last place because of your responsibility."

"The parting with your hometown is only temporary, and you will come back to see your friends. You are a true hero."

That's right, in the near future, the Divine Angelmon will return. Fight for the City of Angels, albeit parting. But this time, he'll fight for what he believes in, for the digital world!

The fragments of the future fragment are shown like this. Therefore, the Jade Rabbit believes in the future.

For the sake of the future, it will fulfill its responsibilities --

―1―

After parting with Mina and returning to the digital world. Waiting for night to fall, the vampire beast took the Cherubimon Digi Egg and dived into the deepest part of the forest terminus.

※※※※※

The eastern forest -- the deepest part of the forest terminus is a clearing. On the white altar in the clearing is a teleportation circle depicted with a pentagram pattern, and next to the altar there are four white marble stones in the east, south, west, and north directions.

This place is also the only place you must pass through to come to the City of Angels.

An angel beast waits over the altar, one of the guards at the end of the forest, where his daily mission is to watch out for unknown outsiders.

However, in Angelmon's memory, there were no intruders at all, and occasionally mischievous juvenile Digimon strayed into the area.

Moreover, if the other Digimon didn't have anything urgent, they wouldn't have come to this sacred place.

Therefore, in the minds of Angelmon, the so-called guards are just going through the motions, patrolling every day is just to casually check the situation, breathe in the fresh air, occasionally chat with the Digimon living in the forest, and after a few hours, you can happily change the guard and return to the City of Angels.

"Squeak-"

A raspy voice similar to a rat came inexplicably, causing the angel beast's relaxed nerves to suddenly rise. The angel beast looked around vigilantly, and subconsciously clenched the weapon in its hand.

"Who is it!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of bats suddenly flew out of the forest. However, the bats had no intention of leaving, nor did they fly to the teleportation circle, but gathered together.

"Bats"

Seeing a large number of bats, the angel beast pressed the button on the stone pillar almost instantaneously, informing its companions of the news of the abnormal situation.

"Hmph"

Sensing the other party's sudden battle intent, a contemptuous voice came out from the bat group.

After a brief gathering, soon after, the bats all flew away. Only a digital egg glowing with a faint holy glow remained

"What's going on!?"

Receiving information about the anomaly, the Celestial Maidenmon emerged from the teleportation array with other vaccine Digimon.

"That's the Digi Egg of Lord Cherubimon"

When the Celestial Maiden saw the Digi Egg on the ground, a surprised expression appeared on her face

※※※※※

Five years later --

In the quiet castle, another uninvited guest appeared.

"We haven't seen each other in over a thousand years, right? Vampire Monsters. ”

In the empty hall, the voice of inquiry just now echoed. A beast-like Digimon with three horns on its forehead and long rabbit ears appears in the hall.

"Yes, it's only been five years, and I didn't expect your hypocrites from the City of Angels to be my guests again."

A hoarse, magnetic lazy voice came from the depths of the darkness. Then the Monarch of the Night emerged from the walls.

"It's really surprising, after being reborn, you will also retain the memories of the past, Jade Rabbit Beast."

"Ah, it's because of the power of the Ancient Ancestors that I remember everything."

The Jade Rabbit Beast replied indifferently.

"You didn't come here to disturb my sleep, just to say hello, did you?"

The red eyes of the vampire beast stared at the Jade Rabbit Beast for a moment.

"It's not like that, I'm here for something."

"Oh~?"

Hearing the other party's words, the vampire beast glanced at the Jade Rabbit Beast unexpectedly, and suddenly sneered.

"Hmph, hum, it's ironic, as one of the three angels, that you, as the Three Angels, would ask me, an evil dark Digimon, a spurned vampire."

"What is it that has pushed you into this situation?"

"I am for the future of the City of Angels, and as the only beast-type angel of the three angels, I am no longer qualified to manage the Holy Domain. If the Divine Celestial Beast continues to stubborn itself, the City of Angels will one day face destruction if it continues to obey the cruel laws. ”

The eyes of the Jade Rabbit Beast faintly revealed unwillingness.

"Hmph, that's between you hypocrites, and it has nothing to do with me."

The vampire beast looked at the Jade Rabbit Beast coldly.

"A thousand years ago, the City of Angels was like that. What's more, you should be well aware that the angels of apparent peace and so-called racial equality

In fact, the Humanoid Digimon also had too much prejudice against you Beast-type Digimon, and you were abandoned in that great war.

Your death has never been truly saddened by anyone other than your Beastoid Digimon. ”

"What has it brought you from abandoning your kingdom? If it weren't for the Divine Celestialmon knowing that your Digi Egg was with me, I feared that I would contaminate your Digi Egg with dark forces and make it my servant and pose a threat to them. I'm afraid I won't care about your situation. ”

After hearing the vampire beast's words, the Jade Rabbit Beast's face became more and more ugly. What the vampire monster says is reality, and it is your own table

On the face is one of the three angels of the scenery, but most of the angels in the land of angels are humanoid Digimon, and they don't really respect the beast type at all

Digimon's self. Moreover, after the end of the Great War a thousand years ago, the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast has been devoting its energy to purifying the polluted research

In the Digi Egg of Polar Angelmon, there is no reasonable management of the Angel Kingdom at all, but it still makes the country follow too harsh laws

in life. Because of this immutable and terrible law, the inhabitants of Angel City are now living in fear and fear of themselves

Because of doing something wrong, he faces the fate of death. The Jade Rabbit Beast also persuaded the Divine Celestial Maiden Beast many times, but she never paid attention to it. Listen to it every day

When it came to the sorrow of the people, the Jade Rabbit Beast also felt heartache.

I'm like a clown......

The corners of the vampire beast's mouth rose slightly, and it continued to hit the Jade Rabbit Beast's heart hard in a mocking tone.

"You should also understand where we stand. If it weren't for that stupid Divine Angel Beast, I wouldn't have returned your Digi Egg to those hypocrites. Nor is I under any obligation to accede to your request. Besides, you should have met me without permission. If the hypocrites find out, you should understand what you will face. ”

"Of course I know but I love my country, so I don't want the City of Angels to go in the wrong direction because of the wrong leadership."

The Jade Rabbit Beast whispered.

"Weren't you also born in the City of Angels? You should also be deeply aware of the happiness you once had."

"Happy? It's a shame that I'm not interested in that memory. ”

The expression of the vampire beast quickly became cold.

"But I still remember vividly being imprisoned and facing death just because of the wrong evolution. However, I also want to thank you, if you hadn't made me choose to be expelled, I wouldn't have become the Supreme Commander of the Nightmare Corps and kill those hateful hypocrites. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on the vampire beast's face was a little more hideous. Understanding the true character of the vampire monster, the Jade Rabbit Beast is only slightly

Sigh.

"I'm not asking for your help to do you any harm, Vampire Beast."

"This was originally a confidential part of the City of Angels"

"Confidential?"

Jade Rabbit Beast's words quickly aroused the interest of the vampire beast.

"The Divine Maiden has received an oracle from the Royal Knights, and the god of the Digital World, the World Tree 'Igudo Rahir', will carry out the 'Ark Project' in the near future. Except for the City of Angels, all Digimon in the Digi World will be wiped out, and this Digimon will be completely cleaned up by Igudo Rahir. ”

"The Ark Project"

The vampire beast's face turned pale, and of course he understood what the Ark Project meant.

"It's just that death is coming, and what the digital world becomes has nothing to do with me."

There was silence for a moment, and the vampire beast's performance was also very indifferent.

"Even if the human world is implicated, the life and death of that little human girl who is your partner has nothing to do with you, right?"

Seeing that his words did not have much impact on the vampire beast, the Jade Rabbit Beast had no choice but to use the last killer move.

The vampire beast was stunned for a moment, then showed a serious expression.

"Tell me everything you know."

"Because of the guidance of the ancient ancestors, I see the future in the near future. We just have to follow the fate of the future."

Knowing that the other party had agreed to his request, the Jade Rabbit Beast smiled lightly.

"You'll meet your partner soon, there's five years left"

Since then, the Vampire Beast and the Jade Rabbitmon have made a special deal.

※※※※※

For five years since the transaction with Jade Rabbitmon, the Vampire Demon Beast has been carrying out its own 'mission' according to the future foreseen by Jade Rabbitmon.

And after the deal was made, the restored Kirubimon also fulfilled his promise.

In just ten years, I reunited with my partner again.

The girl has become a girl.

※※※※※

When they meet again ten years later, how should they describe the expression on their faces?

It was as if it were about to cry, and it was like joy. With a strange look that wasn't right, Mina wanted to stretch out her hand, but suddenly lowered her hand as if she had been stopped. Then slowly lift your face up.

"-Long time no see, Vampire Beast."

She smiled softly.

"Ten years should be a long wait for mankind."

The vampire beast greeted her in a cold tone, but the eyes in the mask had a certain nostalgic glow in them, staring at the other person's face.

"Mina. Albarrea, you should understand what my presence means, right? Are you ready to be enlightened? ”

"Accept the guidance of the Digital Elves and meet you again at this moment, I am ready to face the unknown future."

As she spoke, she smiled slightly. Her pupils, which were several times more mature than they looked on the outside, stared at him.

"Aren't you also ready to come to the human world with enlightenment? Because I know you're going to make up your mind for something important."

"Well, I'm not interested in that hopeless world of repeating mistakes and hate. But I don't want that ridiculous 'enlightenment' to go to waste—"

The vampire beast's eyes showed a smile. As if he was contemptuous of himself, the corners of his mouth twisted comically.

"Because of this 'enlightenment,' your purpose has also been achieved."

She smiled. The smile seemed to be the embodiment of the existence of a woman, and it was immaculate.

"Welcome back to Vampire"
