"It's time, huh?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Here we are..."

The road where my birth parents had met their doom, well, according to Dad (and he had witnessed it), was near the outskirts of town. I had never actually been here before, which was weird, to say the least, but right now, I could only feel a bit of sadness. 

It was here that the Daikis had a mow truck ram over Ko and Sayo Bellucci, before taking my infant self to be raised as their Sacrifice... 

"Hey, you okay?" Gulus asked me. 

"O-Oh, yeah, totally," I said. "I'm just disoriented. It feels weird, cause, y'know, the month is coming to an end and we're about to take on Akira-san. It feels like just yesterday, we were working on Lily-san's case and all that." 

"Well, you're not alone, Makua. We're not about to let Akira win. We're gonna take back the rest of the Miraculous," Hiro smiled. 

Pandora held the wreath bracelet as she nodded. "I will help as much as I can." 

"That's really appreciated, Pandora-chan," I said with a smile.

Ghostmon could only nuzzle her in reply before giving me a small smile. He was working on it, but... he was making progress. I couldn't ask for anything better, really. He could take his time. I didn't mind.

"Well, then... I guess it's time to find out what Akira's challenge is, and... why he chose this place as the gateway..." Bokomon frowned.

"Let's do this," Dad said while holding his Digivice. 

Taking in a deep breath as a gateway opened before us, I looked at the others, who nodded. 

It was time. No more turning back. No more hesitation. 

This was it— the ultimate finale. 

Another breath. 

I took a step into the gateway. 

And another. 

And another. 

The world around us seemed to shatter. Frozen in place. Kiyo eeped while avoiding a bunch of glass shards falling in slow motion, and Ruri gulped as Angoramon stood in front of her with Shiramon. 

The main attraction, though? A run-over car, with two bodies clearly visible. 

Orange hair and... purple hair. 

"This is..." 

"Your parents' crash..." Dad looked shocked as he shivered. "But how... could they recreate it so accurately? It's like, Akira was there... He would have been only ten at the time..."

"They can't... they can't have taken a CHILD with them for this disgusting plot, right?" Ryubo looked pretty green. 

"Oh my ****ing god..." Asagao-san shuddered. "What the... what the absolute **** is wrong with them...?"

"Welcome, to the final stage. I see you are all prepared." Akira's voice boomed out of nowhere, making us all stiffen as we got into battle stances. "My, my, why so nervous? We haven't even begun the preliminaries!" 

The what now?

"Destroy them! Rip them all apart and nurture the dark impulses!" he roared. 

A loud hiss could be heard, and Morinomiya eeped as well, looking pretty pale. "N-No... It can't be!" 

But Robinhoodmon seemed to have lost all colour on his face. "Oh... Oh no..." 

From the shadows... Fourteen Digimon stepped out, eyes glowing with the Fragmented Codes... 

Familiar Digimon... 

"Acheelmon..." Asagao-san stammered. Tukaimon paled.

"A-Apophimon... R-Ragnarokmon..." Morinomiya hugged MusosIatreiamon, a fearful look on her face. 

"Jaltermon..." Tianheng whispered as the Agumons gasped.

"Arturomon, Setonimon... S-Schizomon..." Dantella and Jazamon shared a look. 

"NegaLeomon... A-And ReceLeomon..." Yeong and Jang gasped. 

"DysMonarchmon, Nervosamon... ShatteredHopemon..." Uju shuddered, and Robinhoodmon's fists tightened. 

"Miasmamon..." Mecha said. Amato shivered. 

"And... LostValkyrimon..." Pandora looked downright terrified while Ghostmon looked away. "How...? How is this possible?..."

"Beat them all in five hours, and we'll have our battle," Akira mocked. "Of course, I don't expect much from traitors and the Sacrifice, so~"

Sistermon Ciel was giggling. "Go die in advance already!" 

"We won't give up!" Pump countered.

"We will win!!" Gammamon declared.

Hiro and I shared a look before we all held our Digivices. Time to go all out!!

Gammamon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"CresGarurumon!"

"MarinAngemon!"

"Asenamon!"

Pumpmon Evolve to!

"Metanoiamon!"

Bokomon Ultimate Evolve to!

"Jijimon!"

Bakumon Ultimate Evolve to!

I felt something shift. Something had been unlocked. A route only Dad had been able to access before...

"AncientMegatheriumon!"

"Woah!" Hiro's eyes widened.

Dad gave me an excited smile, and I grinned back.

NamaBushomon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Morpheusmon!"

Dracmon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Beezlebumon!"

Culumon X grinned while joining MarinAngemon. They were going to be medic backup here, it seemed.

OnakaZetsuboumon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Yokubarimon!"

KiraHoshiimon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"KokoroHikikomorimon!"

Amoramon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Scarlettemon!"

Oujiaoaomon Ultimate Evolve to!!

Remdepiamon nodded while gaining Darcmon's main weapon, brandishing it and testing it a bit.

Tukaimon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"RustTyranomon!"

MusosIatreiamon Evolve to!!

"Trephinamon!" A nurse Digimon wielding twin drills (they were really thin, though) grinned while she powered them up. "Time to drill holes into your skull!"

Morinomiya's eyes lit up in surprise. Looks like she had never thought this was possible.

ClearAgumon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Hououmon!"

YukiAgumon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Megidramon!"

ToyAgumon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Blastmon!"

Jazamon Ultimate Evolve to!!

"Gaioumon!"

"HeavyLeomon!"

Robinhoodmon and Uju shared a glance as Uju held out their Digivice. "Let's try it out, Hood."

He nodded. "Ah."

Uju smiled while Robinhoodmon disappeared again, leaving his hat on Uju's head.

Robinhoodmon Biomerge to!!

"RichardLeomon!" A ruler-like humanoid stood in front of us, Robinhoodmon's signature hat still on. "Let us vanquish this darkness, Uju!"

"You got it!"

Hagurumon X Ultimate Evolve to!!

"HiAndromon!"

Ghostmon just nuzzled Pandora. Looked like it was just going to support emotionally.

We were ready, but a part of me was worried that it wouldn't be enough. They had been beaten individually, sure, yet I couldn't lie; they were still pretty strong...

Could another miracle happen here?

"Well, looks like we arrived just in time," A familiar voice chuckled as Gangsan landed on the ground with Solarmon and three more people. "Hey, Haneul-sshi."

"Gangsan!" My eyes widened. "Wha... How?!"

"Wait, Gangsan?! Haneul, how do you know my cousin?!" Uju looked back.

"Who the **** are you?! And how did you get in here?" 

"You gotta know, know,

So the worlds are open source, yeah,

meaning that Potentially, one can teleport, yeah come on!" The red-haired kid with hair shaped like cat ears grinned, hands forming the sign language for ILY.

"In other words, what Jinpei over here is saying, is that while this may have been a fragmented space created by Amanokawa Hokuto's meddling, it is still open source, so the chances of people like us dropping in are higher. You just didn't take that into account, Daiki Akira," A green-eyed black-haired kid explained.

The final member, a green-haired kid with their hair similar to a four-leaf clover smiled. "Backup isn't too farfetched. But names first. Amanoko Tsuchiyume."

"Kirigakure Ranto."

"Jiba Jinpei!"

"And Tak Gangsan," Gangsan finished. "We're here to assist. Solarmon?"

The gear Digimon nodded while Gangsan adjusted his belt, placing a coin in as the other three brandished their watches. Hang on, those looked like...!

"Evolution time!" Gangsan pressed a switch that locked onto the coin, making it shine brightly.

"Henshin!" The other three chorused, inserting what looked like coins into them, causing them to glow.

Solarmon Ultimate Evolve to!

"Mugendramon!" He roared.

Changing form, Youkai Hero!

~ Earth Walker ~

~ Deep Shadow Zodiac ~

~ Shrine King ~

The three of them slid into battle stances while inserting coins into them again.

DigiMode, Activate!

They seemed to glitch out here and there, but soon they were standing with the others.

"Are they the ones Natsume-chan talked about? The one Dan said came from the future?" I gaped.

"It probably is," Hiro said. "But we can think about that later. Let's take down these Digimon first."

"I couldn't agree more! Haneul, you and the ex-Perfectio members should head in to defeat Akira!" Dad yelled while gripping his baton.

"Is that okay?!" I frowned, but Blues waved it off. "We're not weak, Haneul. We can care for ourselves."

"I know, it's just that-" I felt RichardLeomon's hand on my shoulder as they said, "He's right. We have more pressing matters to deal with. Akira-hyung is already succumbing to the codes."

"I... I guess so," I hesitantly agreed. "But promise me you'll be careful."

"Can't do that. Recklessness is a thing for us Mystic Detectives," Ruri grinned.

"We'll take care of this, so get going!" Hiro said.

"I... You guys better get out of this alive!"

They saluted before the rest of us got onto AncientMegatheriumon and he stomped past the Fragmented Digimon. Guns fired, attacks were called out, and as we headed off to face Akira, I couldn't help but feel worried.

"Don't worry, Haneul. We will take Akira down," Jijimon reassured me.

"I know, Jijimon. I just... Have a bad feeling about this," I said while hugging AncientMegatheriumon's neck harder. "Like, something is calling to me."

Memories were starting to seep in. A headache was beginning too.

I held my head. "Ugh... ****... My head hurts."

"Haneul, please breathe," Asagao-san said. I couldn't see her face but I could tell she was concerned from her tone. "You look pretty pale."

"I-I'm fine... I-I think you should turn right." I groaned a bit. "There's a signature.... Could be... Him..."

"Deep breaths, Haneul. D-deep breaths," Dantella said quietly while rubbing circles into my back.

I started out pretty unstable, but as I continued to force my diaphragm to expand, I felt my muscles relax. It was... Okay. I could... Do this.

"Thanks, guys," I finally managed, adjusting myself. "I feel much better now."

"Don't worry about it. We're friends now," Tianheng said.

"Technically, you guys are friends with the others," I drily corrected.

"Still, we want to help," Jang insisted.

"I..." I couldn't help but smile. "Thanks a lot, guys."

"Hey, what are friends for, Haneul? You earned our respect during your fight against Uju. Like, seriously, only idiots would do what you did," Asagao-san said while shaking her head.

"Even Kak Akira was surprised and amazed by it," Amato agreed.

He was? Perhaps I really was missing something. "I'll trust your word on it. I can't remember much about him, but I want to believe he's much kinder than I originally assumed, and that the only reason he shot Eosmon was because of the Daikis' influence."

"You've really changed, Haneul," Metanoiamon said with a smile. "Honestly, would you have done that before this month?"

"Absolutely no." was my blunt answer, and the rest of them just snorted as AncientMegatheriumon headed deeper in, leading the charge into

The darkness seemed to swallow us. I was relying on pure gut instinct now, saying where we had to go. The pain was beginning to come back, but I breathed as deeply as I could, making sure to stay calm.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

We were nearing the end of this insane war...

All that stood in our way...

Was Daiki Akira.

Or so we thought.

"Kekekkeekeke~ What's the rush?" A familiar voice sang.

I froze. Oh ****... It couldn't be!

A smaller version of Phasceatmon with smaller clothes and huge eyes that felt like a kitten's orbs giggled as they appeared in front of us. "Greetings~ I am Pascatmon! Disciple of the Fruits!"

"Who the heck are you?! Stop lying! We know more than anyone that you weren't created by the Creator!" Trephinamon snarled, whirring up her drills as she said that.

Pascatmon immediately looked hurt. "How could you say that? I'm but an innocent bystander!"

Something about the way they said it made me feel like they were a liar...

And my head was starting to ache even more. What the heck?...

"We don't... Have time to deal with her..." I managed, gripping my head again. "We need to... Get to him..."

"Right. Trephinamon, Bile Twist!" Morinomiya commanded.

"Got it!" She jumped to the air, black and yellow bile seeping out of her drills as they powered up before she rushed in and punched Pascatmon back.

"Owww!!" The Digimon stumbled back and began crying. "That hurts! You all are bullies!!"

"We're sorry about that, but-"

"Fly Bullet: Segundo!!"

What the?!

AncientMegatheriumon stumbled back as he was hit by the various bullets coming in from all over the place, knocking us all off his back and making me hiss in pain. The headache was getting worse. As if trying to remember something...

But what? What was I trying to remember?

"Looks like you managed to make it through. Coloured me impressed but this, is where you all fall. This is where the prophecy is fulfilled," Akira spoke while stepping forward from the dark.

BeelStarmon X giggled as she skipped to join us. "Welp, looks like it's time to annihilate you!"

The pain was getting hard to ignore, and I had to genuinely wonder, facing Akira now.

What... Just what was my connection to all this?

+ SPIRITUAL DIGILEMMA +

I had to be supported by Pandora as I faced Akira despite how tempting it was to just roll on the ground and do nothing. I would not yield. I had to keep going! Plus... "What... Prophecy? The one Philip-san told us?"

"That was something I hadn't heard before. No, the one my parents kept on repeating. The one about the Sacrifice."

I froze. That prophecy had been the one propelling him forward all this time?...

"Akira... What kind of prophecy is that? I don't... You never told us anything about another prophecy!" Pandora asked.

"I suppose the Sacrifice never told you about it, and that is to be expected. He is a coward after all."

"I don't... Remember much, Akira-san. I really-"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear it!" He snapped, eyes burning.

Mood swings, and impulsive behaviour from what little I remembered.

Then it really was true... What Shin Bernard had said.

"Akira, please, you need to listen to us. You-"

"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!" He roared. "DISTANCIA CERO!"

"Shield of Faith!" RichardLeomon formed a shield and blocked BeelStarmon X. "Akira-hyung, please! You need to listen! This is really important!"

"A likely story! As if I would ever believe you!" He snapped. "Double Claw!"

The mark was glowing really really brightly now...

There was no other choice. We have to battle and get him to snap out of it that way.

"Guys, get ready. We have a long battle ahead of us," I said.

"No doubt about that," Jijimon nodded while blocking BeelStarmon X's attack with his stick. "You ready?"

"Always. Let's go!" I commanded.

"Yeah!!"

I admit that thirteen versus one seemed unfair, but it was not an easy battle, because-

BeelStarmon X Slide Evolve to!!

"BelialVamdemon!"

"Oh for ****'s sake!!" Uju cursed. "This is not good!"

"Black Rain!" Akira commanded as BelialVamdemon summoned black balls from the air and swung them at us from the air.

"Shield of Faith!"

"Grr! Pandemonium Flame!" 

"Boko, Baku!" I yelled as both of them got hit trying to protect the others, with Metanoiamon scowling. "We need to finish this, Haneul!" 

"No doubt about it! Blazing Dove!" 

"Soul Shield!" ****! He blocked it!

"Wise King Blast!" RichardLeomon used his crossbow to shoot his swords at him. 

"Bloody Dance!" Trephinamon blasted out scarlet balls of light. 

"RustTyranomon, Terror's Cluster!" RustTyranomon roared as he powered up his cannons and shot.

"Gokujo Diamond Tail! Crimson Flare! Hell Howling!" Megidramon howled, and boy did it hurt! Blastmon seemed unaffected as his tail met the ground powerfully and caused another shockwave with crystal bullets following, while Hououmon let the flames rip from their mouth. 

"Gaioumon, Rinkageki!" Dantella commanded before Gaioumon combined his swords to fire a laser blast. 

"Atomic Ray!" Amato added, and Mecha complied by charging and shooting from his shoulder turbines. 

"Libra of Morality!" Metanoiamon shot the apples straight for BelialVamdemon. 

"Little Plasma!" Pandora added and Ghostmon did his best to assist by shooting plasma from his palms.

"Barrage Sweeper!" Jang commanded and Yeong meowed while shooting at rapid speed from his left shoulder.

"Melting Blood!" The Digimon opened up its jaw-like cannons and let out a red mist that began eating everything in its path. Now I got why Daisuke said that BelialVamdemon could only be fought in a place without anything in it! This dude ate anything!

"Crap! Trephinamon, Neutralising Whirlwind!" Trephinamon summoned powerful wind attacks that collided with the mist, destroying it and...

And made salt drop to the ground.

I had to stare at it before I looked at the others holding in their laughter and moved my gaze to RichardLeomon, who chortled, "It's a running gag, you see. We did a lot of testing in the early stages. For some weird reason, no matter what acid was used, salt always falls to the ground in response to the attack."

Bokomon was roaring in laughter now while Bakumon at least had the decency to cover his mouth. Metanoiamon just had a smile on his face. 

Akira had such a done look now. "For the love of- Rinomi, really?"

Morinomiya giggled a bit. "S-Sorry, Akira-nii! I-I couldn't help myself."

He couldn't help but scoff a bit. "I can't believe you."

There was a smile on his face despite his words. "Reflex, huh?"

"We did a lot of dumb things when we were testing out the Digivices," Tianheng agreed. "Like, remember that time when Amato got bitten by Mecha during the earlier days?"

"He became such a rebel after five days of being with Amato," Asagao-san said while laughing. "But Uju's reaction to that was hilarious."

"'I can't believe you would do something that reckless! Leave the reckless stuff to us old people!' And then they proceeded to be scolded for an entire hour by Asagao-nee and Akira-nii. Truly the first generation of our family," Dantella solemnly spoke.

"Wait, wait, don't forget about the time Jazamon tried to race Ghostmon and lost because Ghostmon is a baby!"

Pandora's words made the entire group burst out laughing. Akira was holding his stomach. "Oh Kami, you idiots were ridiculous back then! Sure... Sure wish we could go back to those times."

He sounded so hollow now, and I frowned a bit, but didn't interject. This wasn't my fight. It was theirs.

"We still can, Akira-hyung. That's why, please don't give up on humanity, on yourself," Jang said. "We're not complete without you. We don't want you to be alone either."

"He's right. We stick together, not only as Perfectio, but as Pneuach! We were together for so long, Akira, and our bonds aren't so easy to sever as you think," Pandora added. 

"Plus... you're not schizophrenic," Asagao-san's words made his eyes widen. 

"W-What do you mean?..." He asked. 

BelialVamdemon paused as well. The Mark had... stopped glowing. "You're saying that...?"

"Shin Bernard-san... He managed to correctly diagnose us so far, so when he told us what he thought your diagnosis was, we were surprised to hear that... you were wrongly diagnosed," Uju spoke up. 

"Borderline personality disorder?! You're saying that whoever diagnosed Akira-nii got it wrong!?" Morinomiya gasped. 

Shin Bernard nodded. "I checked with Ririanna, with Semo. Everything from your stories and what I've heard of his childhood matches up."

"Of course, we can attribute his recovery despite his misdiagnosis to the fact that antipsychotics, the medicine that Akira took in Silver Hope, can also be used for BPD," Shin Ririanna added. "But misdiagnosis changes it entirely. It means that while he looks like he recovered, he never truly did. The treatment would have been off, and that can affect the person deeply." 

"Once he went back to the Daikis, most probably it re-triggered. I don't know what they did to do that, but... ****ing ****, I want to smash them on the head so badly," Shin Bernard said, his eyes darkening. "Haneul told me what they did to them as well, and it is downright disgusting." 

"How bad?..." Dan asked shakily.

"Let's just say... It's on the same level of ****ed up as Winnie and Dia's childhoods. I can only imagine the sheer amount of trauma in Daiki Akira at the moment... If Haneul's life was that messed up." 

"We did some investigation as well, and the evidence tells me that... someone paid the psychiatrist to misdiagnose Akira. I don't know why, but this is the same psychiatrist who diagnosed Haneul, and they ARE suffering from bipolar disorder, so the only reason why anyone would want to do that would be..."

"So... someone else... they caused all this pain?" Akira gasped. 

"Oh... Oh ****, Akira, that is just... I know that you told me that it was bad, but..." BelialVamdemon looked sick. "Who the heck would do such a thing?..." 

"Despite all the pain you got, though... you still found it in you to love others, though," Morinomiya said quietly. "You loved us all. You gave us warmth, you sat with us through every ****ty thing that came our way. Akira-nii, your loyalty, how much you love us... that's the reason we stuck with you in Perfectio. Why we didn't tell the others Uju-nii was a traitor, because..."

"Every member of the family is treasured and loved," I finally spoke up, and Akira looked at me in shock. "This family you found, Akira-san... Honestly, I'm a bit jealous. Ever since I saw your smile in that picture at Silver Hope, I... felt jealous. You found people who fully understood you, who knew the boundaries, who wouldn't go so far to hurt you, who... who took the time to fully understand you, and... who forgave you for the **** you've done in your life..."

"Haneul..." Bokomon frowned.

"Not once did they judge you for your actions, and honestly... I should have tried to empathise. But I was so stuck in my trauma... I was so... lost, angry, broken, selfish... All of these things made me see you as the same as them."

"No... I... Shouldn't have listened to them as well," Akira quietly said. "It was just... I was called back there. I didn't want to go back but... they told me that they could hurt you... and then they  made me help them kidnap you. They... they brought up how you had taken everything from me... I... I wasn't in my right mind, they took my meds and all that, I... I followed what they said. I didn't want to shoot, I swear, I just wanted to scare you but something... something overtook me and I aimed it right and... If I hadn't, Eosmon would have... would have survived..."

"I know, Akira-san. I get the pain you went through now, and... I... I'm so thankful you two took the time to help those Digimon I killed in my manic phase... I'm thankful that you did all this, because... it's given me clarity, to know me better... So... The pain you feel, Akira-sam, I get it. And... maybe it'll take time for me to heal, and maybe it'll take time for the others to accept you, and once Mei gets back she is going to annihilate everyone, but..." I smiled. "Someday, I want to call you my brother."

"Luno, no, H-haneul," he said while tears began falling down his cheeks. "I... I want that as well." 

"But until then... Well, I think that we have a battle to finish, don't we?" I asked. "We do still need to break that Code off you and BelialVamdemon. Uju told us that the only reason Robinhoodmon could escape this was because of him being Casper the Not-So-Friendly-Ghost-"

"HEY! I AM FRIENDLIER THAN JANG AT TIMES!" RichardLeomon protested before Uju corrected, "No, you were very hostile to the others at the beginning, Mister Angy Casper."

"I-I-I!" He looked away, and Akira burst out laughing. "Alright, I think I get your point. Let's get this battle to it then."

"Put everything you have into it! I won't accept anything less, Akira-san!" 

"You too, Haneul, guys! Belial, let's do this!" 

"Oh!!!" his partner grinned as Metanoiamon began charging up right away once we shared a glance. I knew that Salvation Ram would do the trick, but there was something else... something I had in my arsenal that I felt I could pull out now.

"Resting Burner!" Yeong shot the flames from his armour at BelialVamdemon.

"Skull Killer!" Trephinamon grinned as she powered up her drills and took the flames, using them to boost her own drills before punching BelialVamdemon. "Not so fast, now, huh?!"

"Oh, you're asking for it!" Akira grinned. "Howling Blood!"

"Gotcha!" BelialVamdemon agreed, summoning two spheres and throwing them towards us. 

"Shield of Faith! Then Loyal Blast!" RichardLeomon protected once more from the attack before rushing forward and kicking BelialVamdemon, using him as a springboard to the sky and shooting with his crossbow.

"Junjou Emerald Chop!" Blastmon appeared behind him and karate chopped him. "Ow-" "Sharp Hooked Claws!" Hououmon scratched at him with his claws. "Megiddo Flame!" Megidramon shot his flames at him. 

"Rust Claw!" BelialVamdemon got scratched by RustTyranomon multiple times. 

"Rinkazan!" Gaioumon roared while slicing away at him as well. 

"Copy Paste!" Mecha grinned as he attacked BelialVamdemon with his batons. Mind you, all of this was happening super fast too! 

"Metanoiamon, Salvation Ram!" I finally yelled, and the others moved away just in time for the attack to land. 

But I wasn't done yet. My Digivice was glowing as if my warmth was being taken, yet...

"Boko, Baku, you ready?!" I yelled.

"Of course!" Bokomon grinned.

"Let's go!" The two felt it as well, it seemed. 

"Alright, no time to waste! Evolution Time!"

The meter went bonkers the exact moment we synced up.

Bokomon, Bakumon Jogress Evolve to!!

"Genesismon!"

My mouth went agape. 

This lamb Digimon stood at RichardLeomon's height and had a serene smile on its face. It wore a green cloak with brown strings similar to roots, while underneath one could see fluffy wool covering its body. 

It was...

"OH MY GOD THAT IS ADORABLE!" Ruri took the words right out of my mouth as the others finally joined up with us. 

Genesismon smiled gently before brandishing its staff. "Metanoiamon, let us do this."

"Understood!" Metanoiamon nodded. 

A new attack streamed in again, and I yelled, "Temptation Eraser and Eden's Welcome!"

Vines immediately wrapped around BelialVamdemon as Genesismon waved its staff around, conjuring up a light arrow. "Haneul?"

"Let's do this! HERE IT IS, AKIRA-SAN!" I roared. 

He grinned. "COME AT ME HANEUL! MELTING BLOOD!"

The arrow... it destroyed the mist the moment it touched, and soared right to BelialVamdemon's head, causing a HUGE explosion that made us cover our eyes. 

I screamed as I got hit with his Hubris code, making me collapse onto the ground, tears pooling in my eyes. Oh ****... this was so painful...

"Haneul! Haneul, are you okay?!" Ryubo was right beside me as I tried to breathe, but it was like my chest was constricting. 

And then, as if a lightning bolt struck me, my memories became clear. 

I gasped. "Oh ****! I... I remember now! I-I..."

"Haneul, don't say anything! Focus on breathing please!" Uju urged while they held my hand gently. "It's not important right now! You're having a panic attack!"

"N-No! I-I have to! I have to tell them!" I coughed blood out. "The real person who... who made me kill those Digimon and humans! I-It was... It was Sistermon Ciel!"

Everyone gasped, and Akira paled as they all turned to her. Through my blurry vision, I could see her looking down, but wh-

"... heh, hehehehhehehe..."

That... 

That was definitely not Sistermon Ciel's voice...

"I'm impressed you finally remembered, Sacrifice. Oh, too bad. Looks like my master plan finally worked! The prophecy will finally come to pass! Kekekekekekeekk~"
