Crimson is all that is seen before blinding lights hit her eyes. Adjusting to the sudden change in the mysterious room she found herself in. Beyond the lights were nine if not, ten rows of dark green seats. Each seat is where a shadow sat. No facial features or any unique characteristics could tell the person which decided to cast away their identities to become masked by the darkness. In front of the young lady happened to be a stand  up microphone. A place which she had often held so many happy memories in.

Looking directly at the front row, the girl solely focused on the three yound shadows smiling brightly at the young lady on the dazzling stage. The warm orange dress she wore mimicking the same feel one gets at seeing the sunset. Her hair tied into a tight bun surrounded by freshly picked carnations. The spotlights illuminating her body in it's soft glow. Sweet melodies of a piano soon filled the room in it's musical comfort.

Though just as the young lady ready her boice to sing, the three young shadows began to fade from existance. The other shadows did nothing as if the fate of those three shadows meant nothing.

HELP THEM! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THEM!!

The lady on the stage tried to reach out to them. Suddenly the curtains closed and became impossible to open. Mighty as a steel door that even the strongest human couldn't budge it one inch. The young girl tried to call out but all that escaped were the non existing sounds of silence. Tears fell from her cheeks as her heart began to shut away this pain behind a stone wall.

That is when Mei awoken from that awful nightmare which occured every night to taunt her. Slowly she sat up as not to wake up Shiramon. The wolf assassin digimon asleep with her visor charging in the outlet she sat beside while she slept. How she could sleep like that still baffles Mei.

Like isn't that position uncomortable? Shiramon finds ways to surprise her.  Though this was nothing compared to the time she somehow got a baby seal in her tub. Cute as it may have been, there home was not the best home for it.

Looking at the digital clock, it read three forty seven in the morning. It would appear that she would not be sleeping much tonight either.

The dream acted like a mental reminder for Mei never to sing ever again. For all it brought to her heart was unbearable pains. Casting a seal around her emotions to prevent any further pain. The seal had weaken over time which allowed Mei to becone more open, her friends having greatly help her come this far. Each trial and challenge allowed Mei to grow into a stronger yet better person.

Though one part of the seal held a great hold over the young girl's heart. A traumatic experience locked in the depths of memories that kept the harmonic voice silent. Waiting years to be released for the world to hear. All it required is one final push to be brought back to life.

"Sing dear child. You know that deep down you do" That voice often hear after that nightmarish dream.

Why sing if all it does is to bring pain to this bleeding heart?! NO! NEVER AGAIN!! NO MORE!!

Lack of sleep usually was not a problem for Mei. All nighters to do countless searches or being throwned into a random digimon related incident. Most having to save her surrogate TM brother from his ocassional brushes with death. Strangely this time she felt tired like she's been up for several weeks.

Maybe she should join the Coffee club with Blues and Mummymon. Be nice since she be the first girl to the team. Though sources have told her that Aliana has been going behind her Abi back and attack coffee to her cocoa. Be ashame if their doctor found out.

Shiramon noticing Mei exchaustion as Team Lirurun planned their upcoming group activity. Behind the high tech visor were grey silverish orbs filled with concern for her tamer. Judging from the glances given by Hanuel and Ruli who were also concerned for their Meichi.

The one time Mei acknowledges Hanuel calling her that and they don't let it go. A personal error that she regrets every SINGLE day.....

"Ooooh~ Darling! Why not have a karoke night? We haven't had one in sooooo long!" Jellymon checking the website to see they offered special deals on group events.

All seemed to agree to that idea, after all who doesn't like to sing in the company of friends. All except Mei who jolted up as pale as ever before. Her eyes filling with unimaginable worry. Who would have thought thst their skilled "Blackmail Empress" had a major case of stage fright.

Solisamon then happened to hear distress calls from a verse. Wothout a second to lose, she opened the bright red portal that held a warm glow within.

"Welp, looks like we have a verse to save. Too bad for the singing. Guess we were spared from "Tone Deaf" here" Mei shrugged. Thankful that she was spared from her darkest fear from being known public.

"Mei, we can always schedule once we get back" Hiro pointed out much to Mei annoyance.

Since when did he come up with reasonable answers?! Can he not read the messages?!

"Oh hey what's that?" Mei pointed to the portal.

"What's wh-" Hiro was then pitch thrown into the portal. His screams echoing through the whole way.

"Mei!" Hanuel couldn't believe she just did that. A bit funny yes, but completely uncalled for!

"Hanuel, I can do it again" She warned. Her hands powered by Digisoul.

Okay.....seems like lack of sleep makes Mei like a bear that should NOT be poked....

Sorry Hiro but the others are going to stay on her good side.

Soon the group follows Hiro into the mysterious verse he landed in.

Solisamon and Gammamon were giggling as the warmth of the portal swirled around them. A soft healing glow emerged from it. Taking away any sorrow or pain. Soon the others felt this too before jumping into the verse.

Hanuel and Mei landed perfectly as if their instincts had prepared them for this. Mei caught Ruli in her arms like a groom would his bride, seems like she may be getting sick cause her face got red. Kiyoshiro landed face first as he became a cushion for Solisamon and Gammamon landing.

"Is this a hospital?" Mei looked around to confirm her suspicions.

"Yup! This is "Hospital Verse! A place where everyone study to be a great doctor and nurse to help people who are sick. Many digimon are well known doctors here" Solisamon explained. Centuriomon telling her about it once after he did a visit there for any "Verse Interrupts" or " Problems from other verses".

The white hallway they were in with red floor edging had hospital beds connected to IV tubes. Curtains to give each section their own personal privacy. Carts of screens that displayed medicinal charts were seen along with trays of mecidines. Doctors both human and digimon seem to move like high speed traffic to get their paitents the care they need.

"Abi would be in paradise here!" Shiramon beamed as she thought about her father. Her tail wagging at how excited he be if she brought him here.

He could finally socialize with others who share his dreams of becoming a doctor. Who knows he may make a few friends and learn about new types of mecidines! Better than how he usually spends his time of with historic documentaries and that insanely large coffee mug that her sister got him last week.

"Ummm...excuse me..." Shiramon turned to a familiar voice. Though why did they sound so timid.

There was a soft white Carbunmon with pinkish red fur. Eyes were a soft red color, like a pale rose. Her gemstones were still the same purple color, the collar that she wore though was a silverish color. She wore a light blue nurse outfit that had been tailored to fit her small size. Upon her head was a small hat with the mecidical cross on top.

IS THIS ANOTHER VERSE VERSION OF ALIANA?! AWWWWWW SHE IS A SHY BEAN!!! OOOOH AKILA IS GETTING PICTURES!

"We...a-aren't scheduled for outside visitors. Please leave, we are in the middle of a medic-" Getting picked up by the mysterious wolf had cit the little cutiepie off mid sentence.

"You are soooo cute!!! Smaller than average but you still are amazing!" Shiramon praised before giving her other verse sister a hug.

Normally Aliana would act annoyed when anyone gave her a hug. The except if she was hurting or her loved ones were in need of one. Though this one struggled to bolt off of Shiramon as if she hand some sort of disease.

When did her older twin becom a germaphobe?

"Eshe, is everything alright" The group turned to see another familiar face. In their arms was Hiro.

Eshe? That meant that Aliana went by a different name here.

"Yes Abi. I was trying to get our new "guests" to leave" She looked towards the heroes  before refacing the Mummymon who carefully put Hiro down.

"I see. They must be friends with this one. Young man please reframe from bursting through my lab as I look for a cure. Beakers may look cheap but they do put a dent in our budget" The doctor digimon sighed. Patting the boy head.

Eshe jumped to her father shoulders. Being mindful of his shoulder spikes before nestly around his neck. Her favorite spot is always close to her father. Just being around him made her feel safe around these strangers.

"Sorry I just got thrown all of the sudden" Hiro glared as his eyes shot daggers at Mei.

Mei in turn paid no mind since she knew all too well that he had been in worst cases. Like getting turned into a stuffed animal by a digimon obessed with cute toys. She had to face her own personal HELL to save him! That more than gives her the right to fling him into portals!

Mummymon then took notice of Shiramon. Focusing soley on her sin code mark.

"Interesting" He knelt down to get a closer look at the mark. Touching the pattern a few times to see if there would be any reaction.

"You don't know about the Sin Codes?" Shiramon asked in confusion since Mummymon looked to be seeing them for the first ever time.

"I know not of what you speak of. This mark is unique but it is my first time witnessing it. Never before have I seen or heard of these "Sin Codes"

Everyone seemed shocked at hearing this. Could this mean that the Sin codes never existed in this verse? That would also mean that the Sin Code Knights were never created by HIM. Most of them probably don't exist or have been born into a new form.

Shiramon couldn't help but wonder, does she even exist here? Of course she knew that she wouldn't be in all the verses. Seeing Mummymon and Eshe just made her wish that there was a version of her to join in thst love is all.

Well at least both seem happy. That should be good enough for now.

"Another verse?" Mummymon asked as he scratched Eshe head lightly. Smiling slightly of how happy she got when he pet her.

The group were invited to his lounge to hsve some tea and tell him of their business here. Offering them their choice of tea or some hot cocoa which Eshe makes especially for the young patients.

"Yes. Usually Solisamon hears distress from another verse and we come to their aid" Mei gave the brief explaination since rules stated that they must NOT reveal much to begin with.

Centuriomon literally gave them a 400 pound book on the verses. Rules, situations, how to greet or explain what their business was there. Mei felt as if only she fully read the full book while the others struggled to understand it.

Could be the reason that Centuriomon has a bit more respect for her. She at least makes an effort to follow all the rules before having some reason to break them.

THAT IS ALL THE "VERSE KEEPER" ASKS OF THOSE WHO DIMENSION HOPS! TRY TO AT LEAST FOLLOW A RULE! THOUGH MOST TEND TO BREAK THEM BEFOREHAND! IT IS A MIRACLE HE HASN'T SNAPPED YET! TRULLY IT IS!!

"Abi.This could be connected to that awful virus going around" Eshe pointed out to which Mummymon nodded in agreement.

"Virus?" Shiramon felt her worry spike once that word crossed her ears.

"We know not where it has come from  but it seems to effect both Humans and Digimons. Paitents are first subjected to a high fever that seems high enough to kill them yet doesn't at the same time. Then the blood vessels in the eyes begin to leak constantly as a never ending waterfall of blood. Next the paitents bodies are presented with severe unbearable pain that pain killers can not even help with. Though that is not the strangest part I am afraid" Concern filled the doctor eye as he had to take a long deep sigh.

Eshe went to his side where she looked equally as worried. A bandaged hand soon petting her for much needed comfort. Something she happily obliged to.

The heroes all exchanged worried glances at each other. Mei and Shiramon both having a strong desire to help whatever way they could.

"Black patches of virus data appear on the patient. Human or Digimon. Slowly causing vital organs to shutdown till it reaches the brain. The same goes for the digimon data core" That caused the kids to gasp in horror.

Hiro having to cover Solisamon ears to not hear such things. Not wanting her to lose her innocent nature.

"Can it be cure....?" Hanuel being the first to speak.

Mummymon sighed again before looking at the detective. "We are trying to develop one. Sadily we had no progress so far" It greatly pained him to admit that.

"It could be a a modified version of a digimon move. There are a few known for attacks that share similar symptoms" Bokomon pointed out. Recalling a few digimon back in the Digital world with such nasty effects.

"Nasty....." Pumpmon shivered. He couldn't imagine what those poor patients were going through.

Jellymon started to wonder if this was a sign to start a Digimon Health Care Campaign back home. Viruses like these could pop up in their country as well. Best be prepare if they want to keep peace with humans and digimons.

Angoramon tried to remember any of the symptoms to see if they were familiar with anything he had read or encountered in the Digital World. Sadly his mind ran a long blank like any useful memory had been deleted.

"Well time for the two of us to get back to work. Come alone Eshe" At the motion of his gesture, Eshe hopped on his shoulder.

"You two must be tired" Gammamon could see the lack of sleep plastered on their faces.

"The virus has already infected most of the staff here. Eshe and I have been covering as much as we could with just the two of us" Mummymon couldn't let his patients suffer without  giving them his care.

A doctor duty is to do everything in their power to help the patients thst are in their care. A vow Mummymon follows to the T. He practically memorized it mentally.

"We can help. My Abi taught me all he knew about mecidine as well as patient care" Shiramon ready to help any way that she could.

"No. This virus is too risky. It is sweet of you all to offer, but we prefer you all stay safe" Eshe spoke. Her shyness erased around being with her dad.

"You two look like you're ready to pass out any second. We know that we can not stop you. Though more hands would ease the burden off your shoulders. Even if it's just a little bit" Ruli understood the risks yet how couldn't they help when others are suffering.

Mummymon looked ready to say something. To tell these kids that this was NOT a game. Any mistake could be fatal to a patient health. That and it seemed that only one of them had any kind of medical training.

He and Eshe were tired. Tea could only keep them up for so long. With the growing number of cases, how long till they passed out from the sheer exchaustion from the workload.  Whether he liked it or not.....they did need more help.

"Very well. Go to get your uniforms and protective gear on. Meet us in room C-34 to tend to the paitent there" Eshe eyes widen in shock as Mummy left the room. Seems like he was granting them a chance.

Mei nodded. Turning to the others to follow her to a nearby supply closet. Though they did hit a slight problem as the closet only provided two male human nurse uniforms.

Kiyoshiro, Hanuel, and Hiro looked at one another dead in the eye. Each orb locked onto one another in a serious glare like look. None of them wishing to be forced to wear one of the girl outfits. Even if the visit to this verse was a temporary one.

Thus their was only one way to settle this matter. A game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. There the winners would take the male uniforms while the loser would have to suck in their pride and wear the girl one.

Who were the winners?

Welp Hiro never had the best of luck anyways....

Solisamon blinked in confusion while Gulus laughed his core out at how ridiculous his big brother looked right now.  Hiro having to hid his face behind the clipboard offered with the uniform.

UGH!! WHY DOES HE ALWAYS SEEM TO BE ON THE EMBARRASSING END OF THINGS?!!

"You look nice, Nurse" Jellymon playfully teased Hiro.

"Brother looks pretty" Though her words were geniune in nature, it seemed to only give Hiro much more embarrassment.

His face got beet red now. Not the best color to expect in a hospital either. Doctors could easily mistake him for having a fever. His only blessing is that Mei wasn't taking photos of this.

She appeared to be lost in her own thoughts at the moment.

"Come now. You know your voice always had a magical touch. Allow the world to hear it" Mei shook her head to try to silence the voice echoing in her mind.

THERE IS A CRISIS AT THE MOMENT! NOT THE TIME FOR VOICES TO DISTRACT HER!!!

Alot of people were depending on their help....No time to take a few moments to sing..... She just bring more pain to others that way....

"Mei are you okay?" Shiramon voice snapped her out of those troubling thoughts.

"Yeah....Just worried about the digimon and humans here" Not that it was a lie, but she couldn't have Shiramon worry about her when others needed her attention.

"It's okay to show your weaknesses around loved ones. After all. You never stop helping them no?"

REALLY VOICE?! REALLY?! LIKE MEI DID NOT GET THAT LESSON DRILLED INTO HER BY HANUEL MULTIPLE TIMES?! DISEMBODIED OR NOT, THEY ARE GETTING A DIGISOUL TO THE FACE IF THEY DO NOT BE QUIET!!!

Everyone soon got ready and went to assist the paitents in room C-34. There were six patients that had contractef the mysterious virus. Two were young human males while the other four were digimon. One rookie. Two Champions. One Ultimate. All given whatever the doctors could provide them to soothe the pain.

Horror was on everyone's faces. Each having to use all their willpower to even take a step into the room. Painful cries could be heard all around the room.

Mummymon tended to the Weregarugarumon that had entered the bleeding eye stage. Eshe helping him by providing gauzes and eye treatments to try to help.

The group decided to each take a patient. Hiro would take the Rookie digimon. Ruli and Mei would each take one of the champions. Leaving the humans to Hanuel and Kiyoshiro.

Solisamon looked at the poor little Salamon who looked like they got into a battle with a mega. Barely making it out alive.

"You feeling better?" She asks as the Salamon looked up with hazy eyes. Her fever limiting her movements.

"H-...hot...." The only words the little one could get out as her body felt like an oven.

Hiro got a damp cloth to soak in icey cold water. Then placed the cloth on her head for at least some relief.

He now prayed that these patients would get well soon. That and if it is selfish.....That thry didn't hsve to see anyone they loved in such a state.

"Thank....pretty nurse lady...." Soon the rookie drifted off to sleep.

Pretty nurse lady.... Hopefully no one heard that. Especially Mei....

Hanuel questioned their paitent as Bokomon and Pumpmon helped care for him.

"Do you know when you first felt sick?" Hanuel asked. Taking notes to the young man answers.

"I was taking my son to the park....the air....smell strange...when we got home...my body started to burn up  like you wouldn't believe....." The patient coughed violently as blood started to come from his eyes.

Air that smelt strange? It could be an airborne virus but then who would make such a thing? They could get a cure going. Only problem is that they would need a sample.....Someone would need to risk being infected in order to get that sample.

Kiyo couls see that his patient was entering the final stage of the virus. Black data patches were appearing all over his body left to right. It appeared that seventy percent of his body was now covered. He struggled to get air to his lungs, an oxygen mask needed to be placed to help him breathe at all.

Kiyoshiro had a strange sense of Deja Vu as it felt like he experienced something simpler to this before. Sadly he was unable to recall where.

UGH!! THESE PATIENTS WERE DEPENDING ON THEM! HE COULD HOLD THE ANSWER BUT HIS BRAIN WON'T HELP!!

Jellymon just help make the paitent feel more comfortable while her Darling panicked about something.

Angoramon and Ruli worked to the best of their abilities to help ease the Black Gatomon pain. Doing all they could to keep the little one calm as much as they could.

The sight of the digimon suffering nearly caused Ruli to cry then and there. How could anyone make something to put someone in this much pain...? Just how...?

Shiramon tended to the Grizzlymon that was inbetween the eye bleeding and the unbearable pain stage. Applying pain soothing ointments to the areas the bear felt the most pain in. Mei in turn clear as much blood from his eyes.

"Thank you...."The first time that Grizzlymon felt any freedom from this hellish pain.

"Is there any other areas that you feel the pain? Would you like a cool compress for your head in case your fever came back?" Shiramon tone was soft though kept friendly to bring more comfort to her patient.

Oh her Abi would be soooo proud that all his teachings were being used. She really has to give him a huge "Thank You" basket filled with coffee and other treats he would like.

Mei mind began to wonder while treating Grizzlymon eyes. There she was back on that mysterious stage once again. Though this time there were no shadows, just silohuette which gestured her to walk on that stage. To enlightened her with the voice which had been dormant for so long.

"You need to give the world your own encore. Help break through the pain that kept you in fear for so long. Come child, allow that voice of yours to come out again. You need one more song to truly be free" Fear keeping her from sing....How did the voice know this?

Voice.....just who are you?...

Mummymon face was much like a professional poker player. Very hard to read. Eshe seemed to see through it though as she smiled at the humans before them.

"You all did quite well. Take a short break while we finish up here" Eshe insisted before coughing a bit.

"Hmmm" Mummymon turned to his little bint. "Eshe are you alright to continue?"

"Yes! Just a bit of dust caught in my throat is all!" The white Carbunmon reassured.

Mummymon faced her with a serious look. "Eshe. Do not lie to me about your health" Crisis or not, he wanted to know right away if his precious bint was sick.

"Abi! I am fine!" Eshe got a bit annoyed that her father was doing tjis in front of others.

"Fine. Though take a break with the others while I finish up the paperwork" With a bandaged hand, he carefully placed her on the ground.

The moment he touched her, his worries were confirmed. Her body temperature was rising.

Please....Please....don't let it take his daughter too....Just let it be a cold.....please something he could cure....

Mei was ready to protest when Hanuel dragged her into the breakroom. Forcing the girl to take a break whether she wants to or not! Heck, they will force feed her because they know that she's bern skipping meals.

IT'S THEIR TURN TO BE THE PARENT! IF MEI WILL NOT CARE FOR HER WELL BEING THAN HANUEL WILL!! MEI DOES THE SAME FOR THEM! TIME TO RETURN THE FAVOR HOSHI!!
"Ugh! This is stupid! Taking a break when they are suffering is just letting them be alone in that pain!" Mei argues while eating a plate full of rice crackers

"Well it seems to be an airborne virus made from data. It could be a digimon move that has been modified by coming into this world" Hanuel shared his finding with the others. Taking a sip of the tea which Eshe made.

"Solisamon. Did you sense any digimon coming to this verse?" Ruli asked the oni child who was munching on some grape mochi.

Solisamon shook no. Her mouth too stuffed to properly give a verbal response.

"Maybe human interfere caused this? Morphomon move was altered due to fear being captured by a human" Hiro reminded. Then froze since the very same human did something more horrible to Shiramon.

Angoramon gave Hiro the "REALLY HAD TO BRING THAT MONSTER UP" look as he held Shiramon hand. Shiramon still had nightmares of that incident where she had destroyed everything....

Jellymon was about to give her input when she saw her "Darling" deep in thought. Trying to recall something important.

"Though patches....I know them from somewhere....Like I had them..." Where? Just where did he see them?!

Airborne....pain....data patches....

"Well basic relief treatments are working to combat the earlier stages but....." Shiramon ears drooped a bit. "That last stage.....if a cure isn't developed soon....." The sentence not needing to be finished. Paled faces already knew the gruesome answer.

"We may need a sample even if one of us gets infected" Hanuel sighed. They really didn't want to have it come to that but seems they may have too.

"Oh we have some samples in the lab. Sadly due to the massive increase of patients....we made little progress in any attempts to research it" Eshe sadly admitted.

"Can we see it?!" Both Hanuel and Kiyoshiro got close to Eshe, causing the poor girl to tobble over.

"S-Sure...here is the key..." Using her magic to leviate the lab key to the two humans.

Without a word, the two bolted to the lab. Somehow automatically knowing where it was. Despite being in a verse entirely unknown to them. Well they are the two with the better sense of direction. That may explain some things. Jellymon, Pumpmon, and Bokomon were having a hard time just to keep up with them.

"Well if those two are going to look into this. I'm gonna go help more paitents" Mei couldn't just sit still if she could help.

"Meichi....wait. Maybe rest a bit more" Ruli placed a hand on her shoulder which Mei swatted away.

"No thank you. I am fine" Her words say one thing but her body shown obivous signs of exchaustion.

"Have you been having trouble sleeping? Is it about.....your final performance?" Judging how quickly Mei body stiffed like wood. Ruli was right on the money.

How does Ruli know? Simply. She was the one who played the piano that day.

"If it is? Why should it matter? PATIENTS NEED AS MUCH HELP AS THEY CAN GET! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME DOESN'T MATTER RIGHT NOW!" Mei marched to the door before slamming it behind her

Sorry Ruru.....though....please don't hate her for this...She can not go back to that pain ever again.....

Shiramon looked just as stunned as Hiro and co. Ruli however looked hurt about how Mei was handling thus pain again. Praying that she wouldn't reseal her heart away from them again. Not after all the progress that she had made to open up again.

They would need to talk about this later.... Now just isn't the right time.

"I understand you often put the needs of others before yourself. Much I did once. I still do but I keep in my mind my health as well as the things that keep me happy. Your friends are just concerned about you. Try letting them help left the cursed pain that you fought alone for so long"  Almost like an invisible forve was trying to give her a hug.

At first Mei felt the need to tell that voice to mind their own business. That haunting a child was going to get them painfully hurt. There was a part of her that agreed however. She knew that if she didn't tell the others soon...she only destroy herself.

There a small crack began to form in the final seal on her heart.

Solisamon looked up all of the sudden as her diamond pattern glew faintly. Were her ears playing tricks or was she hearing an incredible voice....One who even had the ability to heal.

Could someone she know possess such a gift? To have a voice that had a magical healing feeling.

In the lab, Kiyo and Jellymon observed the sample which Eshe had told them about. While Bokomon combed though each book with any knowledge of digimon having simpler abilites. Pumpmon helped to the best of his knowledge along with Hanuel who sped through page by page.

All wearing protective gear. MEI WOULD HAVE KILLED THEM OTHERWISE FOR FORGETTING LAST TIME!

"Darling is this...." There at long last, the memory finally came to Kiyoshiro. Having a look at the sample itself had jogged his memories.

"Toropiamon" The very same digimon they faced the day that Jellymon first went to her ultimate level of Thetismon.

"Then this must be a modified version of "Tropical Vemon". Adding fever and  the blood vessels around the eyes to mimic nonstop crying. The unbearable pain is similar to what one feels when a body combats poison. Aches as the muscles and cells start to become destroyed till the poison advances to the major organs. The digital black patches showing areas where the virus has completely infected till it reaches the major three: Heart, Lungs, or Brain" That explains why the paitents were suffering so much. Their bodies were not treating this as a virus.

Rather a poison which even their antibodies couldn't combat against.

"Oooh, maybe I can cure it with Dokuease!" Looks like the Goddess Thetismon would be making a dazzling appears yet again.

"I'm afraid it may not be that simple. Remember that it's been modified to where normal relieve treatments aren't doing much. The doctors tried everything so far. The only thing you may do is get yourself infected in the process" Bokomon rather NOT have the wild girl teenager risk herself on something unpredictable.

Pumpmon patted Jellymon head. "Maybe Friend can uses Goddess abilities later" He comforted as the jellyfish digimon pouted like a toddler.

"Tch! Fine!" Jellymon knew better to go against a vote where the TWO PARENTAL FIGURES clearly outmatched her.

Why couldn't they be as wimpy as her scaredy cat "Darling" here? Then she could for sure have it her way!

Parents! Never let you do anything that they disagree with.

"Let's see if there is a digimon that CAN cure this safely" Hanuel insisted as they turned to a bookshelf full of encyclopedias of many digimon if not all the digimon of the Digital World.

Hopefully they could find the answer soon, mainly before this virus claimed more victims. Not knowing that another victim was right under their nose.

Eshe never sweated this much in her entire life since she hatched from her digitama over a year ago. Some times she curses at her code for giving her a thick fur coat in the summer. Though it felt hard to focus as her vision blurred evey few seconds.

"Ugh....No...patients need me...must help them..." Forcing all the energy in her body to move as she attempted to get more supplies from the medical closet.

Though someone picked her up. Halting her journey to the suppiles, the forty five steps that seemed like forty five miles in her hazy mind.

"You ARE sick....." Eshe looked up to see her father looking at her with disappointed that his bint lied to him. Though it soften in worry at her sicken state.

"I'm sorry.....I just wanted to help...." Her soft red eyes held small tears. Good thing she hadn't entered stage two.

"I know. I know Eshe" He patted her head as he placed her on one of hospital beds they had for young infants.

He could already tell that she got the virus, yet he prayed that he could stop it while she was in the early stages of the high fever.

His dear little bint.....please...She already survived one near death experience. She would survive again.

His Eshe...His Hope ....

Mei was in the hallway before her eyes saw the heartbreaking scene. She knew all too well what it was like to lose someone precious to you. It made more painful when images remind her of that pain.

No....

No....p-please...no...please not again....

Mei couldn't process that she was hyperventilating when Shiramon rushed to her side. Her voice drowned as a high pitch like sound echoed in her mind. Everything was getting blurry from tears or her mind being overwhelmed.

"Mei! MEI! Please you can't panic right now! Deep breathes! Just focus on me! Please....I need you to stay with me...." Shiramon begged. Her voice trembling as well from seeing Eshe becoming a victim of this virus.

Shiramon never wanted to see her sister suffer again in such agony. There were many years wasted from the two of them being merged, hating one another as a front to keep each other safe. Then to sacrifice themselves to stop a great evil that nearly killed all that they loved. Fate gave them a second chance. To truly be sisters to one other. Be a family with the Abi that adopted them.

Eshe may not be her sister....but there was NO WAY SHIRAMON IS GOING TO ALLOW HER TO DIE!

Though how can she if she was helpless to do anything?

"It seems you are finally understanding that not everything is fixed by knowledge or force. Come child, let see if our unification can help these souls"  There the mysterious voice transported Mei mind back to that mysterious stage that she often found herself in.

It would seem that this time, there would not be a dream to awaken from so easily. Whether she liked to or not....The voice wanted to talk to her.

THIS ISN'T THE TIME! YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU WANT A TALK THEN LET'S TALK VOICE!

Mei walked down the rows of seats till she found herself in the front row where only one silohuette sat. Unlike the shadows from earlier, this one's expressions were easy to read. They were pleased to finally met her. Just being around her cooled her anger.

A motherly presence.....

"Hello sweet child. I feel your pain about not being able to do much for these poor souls. Though there IS a way to help them. You and you alone possessed the "gift" to help them" The Voice took Mei hands into her own. "It is time to truly break that final seal that has been locking yourself in a cell of haunting torment. Child, it is time to sing" There Mei froze at what the voice was getting at.

S-sing....no...no...all her singing only let to pain...

"I-I...I..." There Mei just couldn't hold back the tears. "I can't all my singing does is remind of them....My brothers who I was helpless to save...Singing that brought such joy to my heart to see them smiling at my songs....now I-I...feel all alone...." The rows of empty seats justified that claim.

"It is true that they are no longer here. That is a difficult pain that the heart never truly gets over. Only time eases the pain. However, I think you are mistaken about one thing.  Mei Mikado Hoshi. You are not alone" With a gentle wave of their hand. Familiar faces appeared in the empty seats.

Mei eyes looked in amazement to see everyone that she knew and loved filling those dark green seats one by one. Friends both human and Digimon come to see her perform on this stage. In the front row, were the members of Team Lirurun who she now saw as her family. Ruli on stage were she played the piano in a soft melody tone.

The voice is right....All this years she had been afraid of feeling a pain that left a bleeding wound to her heart. A pain that she believed that silencing her singing voice would fade. Instead it only caised her to drift apart from others. Others who gelped slowly break out of that stone prison that her emotions were held in.

"Well? Don't keep them waiting. Sing your song. Once you do that, my name shall be known so we can become one"  Spotlights made the path to the stage clear. A mircophone awaiting the singer to allow it to spread her melody once again.

"🎶I been hiding in the shadows of my past. Bottling up this feeling so the pain wouldn't last. Been trying to be strong, to keep hidden my melodic song🎶" Even as she made her way to the stage. Mei could no longer hide her voice any longer.

"🎶Did some things that regret. Promises I couldn't have kept. Tried to hide this gift mine. Though I am DONE with being cast aside🎶" There with a firm grip on that mic...MEI WOULD SING!!

"🎶All I neeeeeded was a push to set me free! What I waaaaaanted was a chance to be me! No longer alone for I am home! Here is the TRUE me!!🎶" The seal breaking until it shattered completely. At long last, Mei heart was now freed.

"🎶No longer will I stayed cage! No more shall I be enraged! For now I have nothing to fear! Now I shall persevere! Here I stand on this stage, no longer do I feel afraid🎶" That smile on her face was a TRUE geniune smile.

"🎶Doubt and Despair blinded me. Maked me become someone else entirely. Though now I can see clearly, I have the right to feeeeeeeel.... to feeeeeeel......HAPPY!!!🎶" The audience all lightening up in smiles at how Mei singing was soothing them.

Who could have ever imagine that this moody girl had this gift buried deep inside of her all this time? All she need was a small push and a reminder.

"🎶My songs are a type of healing that awoken me! No longer shall pain shackle me! No more tears shall be running down my cheeks!🎶" The soft musical notes of the nearby piano took physical form as they danced around her.

🎶It time to wake up and give this patients one more song. Just one more! I'll give them an encore! Allow my melody to restore them from this virus plague🎶" There she could feel a power building up inside her along with the music.

Time to show the world the voice of Mei Hoshi. Though she's taking it in a whole new form!

BIOMERGE TIME! TIME TO GIVE HER NEW AUDIENCE THE JOYFUL SOUNDS OF MUSIC!!!

In the real world, Mei finally relax her body. A look of one ready for action was on her face. There her VR bracelet glew brightly as a new symbol appeared.

Shiramom body also felt a surge of powerful energy in ever micro bit of her data core.

"Woah...." Instincts told her what was going to happen next. It seems like Mei isn't the only one who would be going through a change.

In the other room, Solisamon diamond pattern glows bright. A new evolution was about to be born.

"Are you ready to sing once more for all to hear? To be that healing voice? The motherly guidance that the team needs once in while? To open your heart to a world that once inflicted great pain upon you? No more tears. No more doubt about yourself. You are NO LONGER alone. Here I bestow my power and form to you. Call out my name! Dear child, my name is...." The voice didn't have to even say it. Mei knew her name.

She always knew that name since that silohuette had always been apart of her. She just had to simply say "Hello".

"Yes. We are ready to be one, Letomon!" There the evolution transformation began.

The others gathered just in time to see such a marvelous sight.

"Shiramon biomerged to....." A force cast her visor away as her grey eyes held a warm glow.

There Mei found herself in a forest shroudes in the soft welcome of the moon gentle glow. The light seeming her invisible guide to a mountain peak. With each step she took, memories of her time with Shiramon filled her mind.

The first time that they met in that church. The day the two of them made that vow to walk down the path with one another.

The time that Shiramon revealed her past to Mei. Telling her about her Sin code. Mei having to still accept her despite how Shiramon saw herself as a monster.

The time they met the other Digi Destinies thanks to Quantumon introducing them.

How Shiramon and Pumpmon helped make that first step into Hanuel and Mei becoming true friends. To let go of their hatred for one another. Seeing each other as a precious family member.

Each memory whether joyful or painful, that lead to their partnership growing that much. They may still have a few things to learn. Though they will reach new heights together.

There Mei reach the peak where a large wolf awaited her. It's fur bearing a white holy color that some hint that only "goddess possess". It's teeth massive that a single bite could rip her head clean off. Many souls would flee at this sight. Mei did not fear the beast. Instead she reached out and softly nuzzled her forehead to the wolf.

The wolf then transformed into it's TRUE form. A holy being kissed Mei head as it gave her a motherly embrace. Then it became ribbons of light that spiralled around the young girl. A cocoon soon stood where Mei was, soon cracks formed as a new being stepped out.

Long blonde gair casted down her back like a golden cape which danced in the breeze. Golden wolf ears could be seen from the wolf mask that the young lady wore on her white porcelain skin face. A long white dress from the greek era which gods blessed in their divine protection. Stunning emerald green eyes could be seen through the dark eye holes of the canine mask. A warm motherly smile on her face that would welcome even the evilest soul into her loving care. On her wrist were two golden bangles that were crafted by a certain blacksmith of the Digital World, made with a mix of gold and digi chromozoid. On her feet were sandals that were attached by vine like straps that spiral around her leg. Lastly was the holy white tail of the "Wolf Mother" known for being the most motherly healer of all Deity and Goddess Digimon.

Disappearing for she wanted her precious little children to run free and discover themselves in this world once again. The world only having to call her name by the precious light of the moon.

"Letomon" The name that many believed was a myth that ancient even disbelieved. Proof of her existence now standing before the eyes of many.

"L-L-Letomon exists?! The most greatest healer of all of ancient Digimon history exists?!" Bokomon couldn't believe his eyes at the goddess mother that stood just in front of him.

"Meichi...and Shiramon...merged" Ruli  still found it a be hard to see that Mei could be this digimon.

"Now it seems that these poor child need my assistance. Please give your ears to my song. Allow this humble mother's melody heal thy wounds. To cure the suffering that you all have felt for what must have been an eternity" Did they hear Letomon right? She was going to sing?!

Mei is going to sing...?!!

"Therapeuo Melos" There the holy aria of Letomon voice resonated through each corridor of the hospital. Filling each room with the sounds of her healing voice.

"Meichi...." Ruli smiled as tears flooded down her face.

YES! YES!! AT LONG LAST, HER DEAR FRIEND EXTRAORDINARY MUSICAL TALENT WAS NOW UNLEASHED FOR ALL TO HEAR! OOOOOO MEI, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PROUD YOU ARE MAKING RULI!!

"Mei....Heh, you really are growing up so fast" Hanuel dried a tear that leak from their eyes as more looked ready to fall.

Their Meichi heart had been released at long last. The prayer both wanted to be answered had finally come true.

There patient after patient were completely restored to full health. Not a single trace of the virus remained in their systems. A true miracle that only a goddess could have performed.

Mummymon stared in shock as well as gratitude for Letomon helping cure those he nearly considered lost.  Especially his little Eshe.

"Thank you" Were the words which he mouth to the Wolf Mother of the Digital World.

Letomon smiled before disappearing. Mei returning back to her friends, catching Wulfmon who looked exchausted from the biomerge.

"You were amazing Wulfmon" Mei kissed her partner on her head. Allowing the baby digimon to rest in her arms for a well deserved nap.

Looks like the team now has two healers now. Thetismon hopefully won't be too jealous about it.

"Friend sooo pretty!" Pumpmon cheered. "Friend has such a beautiful voice!!"

Solisamon and Gammamon cheered. Thinking that Mei may sing them songs now when Hiro let her watch them.

Hiro jaw still was dropped. WAS EVERYONE A BETTER VOICE THEN HIM? He always thought Mei was terrible at singing too, that's why she was always against karoke or sing alongs.

Kiyoshiro just clapped along with Jellymon. Even she had to admit that Mei may have a talent that even she does not have yet.

Bokomon was kind of still in a state of shock at witnessing one of the ancient digimon. He MUST write this all down. The world needed to know that the myth was true!!

WHERE IS A PILE OF PARCHMENT PAPER AND AN INK PEN WHEN ONE NEEDS IT?!

Angoramon looked forward to more of Mei singing. Prehaps she and Ruli could perform together. Mei voice and Ruli piano would certainly make breathtaking act.

Hanuel and Ruli? Well Mei was greeted by the two greatest hugs that they could muster. They were so happy that the shell around Meichi had shattered into a ton of small pieces.

Mei being too exchausted from the biomerge decided not to fight against it. It felt very good to have a warm hug again. She would surely return it later on when she had feeling back in her arms.

Biomerge is great! The after effects did take alot out of a girl. Mei thought she was tired before....Now she needs two weeks of sleep just to recover.

"I can not thank you children enough. We are forever in your debt" Mummymon smiled with Eshe smiling as well.

"It's what we do" Hiro forced a smile since he was still in the nurse ougit.

Funny how only his clothes were "accidentally" thrown away. Now he had to go home like this! Gulus better stop laughing in Gammamon body right now! Ugh...never again will Hiro be able to live down this embarrassment.

Mei was fast asleep in Hanuel arms, they offered to carry her back home for some sleep.

Then the portal opened for the heroes to return home. Hiro gladly going in first. The others following as they each waved goodbye.

"They were kind souls huh?" Eshe looked at Mummymon who nodded. Making his way to his office room.

"That they were. That girl and that partner of hers opened my eyes to not give up hope so easily" A doctor should never give up when a patient still fought to survive.

That is a lesson that he shall never forget again.

"Yeah. Next time I feel sick, I'll let you know" She still felt terrible for the scare she must have put her father through.

"Oh Eshe, you are to let me know EXACTLY when you feel off. Even at a small sneeze" That serious look in his eye still had the power to sent shivers down her spine.

"Y-yes Abi!" NEVER ANGER OR UPSET MUMMYMON! EVER AGAIN!

There on the black steel desk that was always the first sight when the door was open, there a digitama rested on in a basket filled with the warmest of blankets.

"Hello there, my bint" Mummymon softly touched the egg. Smiling fondly at it.

"Seems like little sister is still taking her time. I wish she would hatch soon" Eshe sat beside the basket. Impatience written on her face.

Mummymon chuckled even though he shared that feeling. Felt like just yesterday that he had rescued two digitamas that had been abandoned in the snow. Both had been warmed up and one even hatched a few days after he took them in.

That little one he soon gifted the name Eshe. For her hope lead her to hatch into the beautiful Carbunmon she was today.

As for the other one, it would seem that the little one inside would need a bit more time.

Hopefully he would meet Femi soon. The child who name means "love". A feeling that she shall recieve and share with everyone she meets.

"Though don't you think that asking the janitor to throw away that boy's clothes was a bit much? He did help us" Eshe still feels guilty for what her Abi did to get back at young boy.

"Eshe, he destroyed five hundred dollars of medicial equipment. He should be thankful that I did not get out "Obelisk" on him" A small prank was more than fair. Plus why would there only be TWO male nurses outfits  in a FULL STOCK CLOSET?

"Abi...." There were times that Eshe truly feared her father. He was a gentle caring doctor but at the same time, he was also one of the very few doctors in this hospital.

May Hiro never know the true culprit....Eshe rather have a father in her life. For her sake and the sake of Femi who has still yet to be born.

Then Femi digitama began to move slightly. A sight that her digitama was nearly ready to hatch. It would take a day...maybe two but the little one will soon see the world in her own eyes.

Very soon indeed.

To think that a place of healing needed a child to offer her assistance. Bravery and a small push had given her the guidance which she needed to overcome the final hurdle within her heart. To rewaken a passion that had been silenced to conceal a traumatizing pain. With help from a motherly shadow and the reminder that one isnt alone caused a new power to be brought to life.

Mei heart after so much torment as well as other factors, has now been released from that stone prison made to keep pain away.

There will still be pain to come. Lost and bad incidents are common things that happen in one's life. It can't be stop as it is a force of nature. Though take time to heal. Who knows it may bring back a passion to help ease your pain.

Mei now can sing away her troubles without any fear of it causing anyone pain.

Except for Hiro who had the guts to claim that she was a little flat when singing that last healing song verse. He was pitched into a nearby lake as a result.

Seems like something never will change. Like Hiro being a TM
