Continue Toward Eternity!

... Hikari's signal is gone. She was sent back.

...

Just as well. This world shouldn't be a burden on someone like her.

Hey Koushirou...

Um. I know this is probably something you don't want to talk about, but...

...

You're my best friend, since we've been here. I... if I could, could I get the story about that guy that's after you?

... And if I can help in any way...

... Huh. Hey, I'm 16 today.

...

.... Man. Been a long year. Feels like it's been more than one, really...

Only wish things were better... and we knew what happened to Takeru...

Hey Haru. Um. This may sound weird, and I know it's not just something you can really pick up and learn in a couple weeks...

...

But can you teach me how to use a sword?

If... if it's alright, I mean...

Um, merry Christmas everybody. Everybody else is doing this, so... well, season of giving, right? Besides, I'd be a lot worse off without you guys.

Merry Christmas, Hikari. I know I don't come see you as often as I should, but you're often on my mind... and I can't let a holiday pass without getting something for my sister.

I had this photograph with me when I came here... I was able to get it blown up and duplicated. I hope you like it.

Um. I'm... kind not sure what to say here... I hope you like it... ^^;

Taichi's been in a pretty good mood the last few days...

...

What the hell happened to him?!

Um. Sora.

... Could we maybe meet up to talk somewhere?

There's like... I dunnow. I feel like we should talk.

And not because everyone says I fail, either.

Okay, so.

Koushirou needs to get out and do something. I've already taken care of a costume for him, so I just need some help getting him into it and to the Halloween party.

Any volunteers?

Um.

I think I... might have ruined someone's life. But it was someone who wasn't exactly a good guy...

... Am I stupid for feeling guilty about this? It happened back during the Dark Area invasion, when the Seal was activated...

Hey Yamato... I just wanted to apologize for how I acted the other day. And um... I wanted to know if you and Gabumon were alright...

Um.

If anyone heard a scream, earlier...

...

I fell down some stairs.

Hey everyone. This is Taichi, and... well, I thought it'd be a good idea if everyone knew about this.

Two days ago, Sora and I... got it into our heads to try and look for Koushirou. We thought maybe checking one of the villages Kurata attacked would lead to some clues, but... Well, that didn't work out too well.

The real story is what happened while we were there. We ended up running into Lillithmon, and... judging by the fact that he tried to get into my head, Daemon was nearby too.

Lillithmon tried messing with the both of us, but... the thing is, we were able to get rid of her. I don't think she's up to full strength yet, as Greymon seemed to hurt her... and he's only an Adult.

So. Um. This was all my idea, and... if anyone should be punished for what happened, it should be me. But I think we should all know that one of our greatest enemies is weaker than normal, right?

And. Um. Nanoha, I'm sorry we weren't able to say hello to you. Welcome back.

... Sora, I know you know Koushirou's missing. Considering the last time something like this happened...

... I think we should go looking around. You and I are in the same unit, so... we can probably coordinate better than we did if we looked with some of the other Chosen...

Do you wanna go see if we can find out anything? I was thinking some of those villages Kurata ransacked might be a good place to start... He's usually involved in stuff like this.

... I just got an eviction notice.

They need to tear down my walls due to reconstruction. What the hell?!

...

Do you think my Mini Me would mind if I crashed on his couch? He's not exactly using it.

I lost it again.

AND I ended up unconscious again. Ugh.

...

Still. It's nothing compared to what Jyou went through. I'm still surprised that doctor was able to save him...

Everything that's happened in the last few days, I don't know. I'm still reeling from it all.

When Masaru first told me about Kurata way back when, I almost couldn't believe it. I mean, I've fought monsters before, but... they were literally monsters. Vamdemon was like something out of a story... this person who was completely bad, and always had to be bad. The Dark Masters were the same way, and so was Devimon, and all of the others.

The humans my friends and I had to face... they were different also. Oikawa and Ken, they were pushed into what they did by forces beyond their control. It doesn't change the impact they had, but... I don't know. It wasn't quite the same as facing a truly monstrous person. Especially in Ken's case.

But Kurata... Kurata is like a really bad wake up call. I know better than anyone than the Demon Kings are just as, if not more, dangerous, but... Kurata makes you realize that evil isn't always a vampire, or a demon... Evil can take forms just like us. A human being can be just as corruptible.

That's always been a part of the real world. But... I don't know. I felt like up till now, I've been seeing it differently... or at least, feeling it differently.

... But it's also a reminder. Especially in my case. At how important it is to do the right thing. The Seal keeps gnawing at me, and...

...

I don't know. Knowing that there's a chance I could become like Kurata... it just pushes me to fight against it even more.

Masaru. If you need any help, just remember Unit 2's still on your side.

... Okay, I don't have ANY idea if this is what I should be doing, but Koushirou, Sora, I need to talk to you about something REALLY important.

That woman. Um. I think her name is... Lillian Monroe. The one Commander Satsuma is seeing.

I saw her the night I got my Seal! I couldn't remember, but... I saw her! And she has this BlackTailmon, who looked at me... looked at me like she was afraid she'd killed my father or something!

Guys...

This lady is LILLITHMON. I'm sure of it!

Hey Takeru. I remembered what day it was, and luckily, I had quite a bit of money saved up. Happy birthday, dude.

[Attached: Pawn Device]

Everyone, I'm sorry for the way I acted the other day. I have my ring back, and... I think I'm going to be okay.

[locked to the Adventure Chosen]

So.

Who thinks we should all go hunt down big, black, and batty?

...

I'm going to go and try to find my Holy Ring back.

Don't try to stop me.
