...
It was happening again. The chaos of battle, power in the air, beings challenging the power of gods dictating the destiny of a world.
Only this time, she was powerless to stop it.
She watched, helpless, as her teacher fell, his chest pierced by a fist of darkness. Her mind spun and she fell from his staff, and Luna barely caught her. They touched ground, and she fell to her knees, her mind spinning. In her memories, she saw a dark-winged temptress pierced through with a spear of crimson light, saw a triumphant queen, a vengeful angel.
As the battle for Mundus Magicus surrounded her, Hasegawa Chisame screamed…
...
It was happening again. Not a dream. Not a vision. No, it was real! A boy with a sword, facing an enormous creature of teeth and wings and fire. She heard someone calling her name, but couldn't react as she watched, horror struck. The boy was at her side, yelling at her, telling her to move. Her bodied complied sluggishly, even as the child within her, its innocence brutally murdered by its own hands, cried bitterly, seeing an army die, and saw a noble knight, resplendent In gold and pink, facing her…
...
It was happening again. She felt tears burning in her eyes as she gripped the sword, and doomed a world she was supposed to save. Why, why did this have to happen? Why had souls as innocent as Umi and Fuu need to be tarnished, when she could have taken the blood in her hands…?
Even as the life bled from Princess Emeraude, the smile never left her face. "Thank you…"
"Thank you…" Origimon said, even as he dissolved into light in Matoi and Chisame's arms, the broken blade she'd used still quivering in Hikaru's hands…
Hikaru screamed…
...
Rin had been disparaging upon seeing the pink cloth and golden armor and trim of her Servant. She had smiled knowingly as she'd tasted the tea he'd brewed, and remarked on how good he was at housework.
Lancer had laughed outright, and asked if he was a manly Viking.
Shirou had taken one look and run away in terror, his mind plagued by visions of armies dying…
...
Madoka watched, helpless, as the Witch's head descended towards Mami's…
...
"I'M IN DESPAIR!" Itoshiki Nozomu cried, clutching at a copy of 'Twilight'. "THE VILE THINGS THAT THE YOUTH DO HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!"
"You don't know the meaning of the word…" Matoi said softly, sighing and looking longingly into the sky. "Ah, Chisame-sama…!"
...
Hikaru stared at Nova, beaten, crying, all she knew broken. She stepped back from the girl, the shadow she had cast in Cephiro. No. No, she could never love herself. Let Nova live her own life. She had the darkness of Cephiro to kill. It was appropriate, after killing its light…
Damn you, Emeraude…
...
"Sayaka…" Madoka said bitterly, her eyes burning with tears. "Sayaka…!"
"Kyoko-neechan!" Yuma wept. "Née-chan!"
Kyubey said nothing. Perhaps he realized nothing he said would be well received.
"Why…?" Madoka breathed, eyes still burning, yet tears didn't come. "Why do these keep happening to my friends…?"
...
Hitomi stared up at the sky, at the outline of Gaea only she could see, and felt the emptiness next to her where Van should be. She smiled sadly, and sighed, then turned away. It was time to move on…
...
Shirou stared out over the horizon as Rin said her goodbyes with Archer. Saber was alternating her gaze between them and him, but Shirou ignored her, Archer's words still echoing in his ears…
Maybe you'll be able to save the digital world after all…
He clutched at his Digivice, little more than a clock now. Hadn't it already been saved?
He had a bad feeling about this…
...
Chisame stared at her monitor dully. It reflected her face in its dead pane. Her hand crept towards it, at the switch of her silent, still computers, untouched for months ever since she had returned from Mundus Magicus. She reached… and stopped, curling back her fingers, turning back. No. No computers. Sun. She needed sun. Hadn't Chachamaru mentioned yet another picnic?
She shut the door to her computer room, her computers and cameras untouched, her dresses gathering cobwebs. As the lock clicked, there was an almost in audible beep as her monitor flared to life, the Altimit OS loading. A window appeared.
Aura: Chisame? Help me…
The computer shut down.
...
Matoi's hand stroked the monitor gently, almost tenderly, as if afraid what she saw would disappear if she wasn't careful. It was her. She knew it. Those eyes… so sad, so pained… she knew those eyes.
"Chisame-sama…" she breathed as she stared at Chiu's web page.
...
The goddess shall destroy the world,
And faith, hope and love shall face the abyss.
Justice shall be sheathed before her.
The dragon shall rise, and none shall live beneath its gaze.
It shall herald the end of worlds, and justice shall be but a spirit, never to be born again.
The goddess shall destroy the world,
Beware love, who wakes her.
Beware hope, who strengthens her.
Beware faith, which sets her free.
For she shall chain us all, and break the world.
– The Prophecy of Aura

A/N: Hi! Me again!
FYI, I've seen the first four seasons of Digimon. I stopped at the fifth because the shouneness made me want to puke, and a lot of its elements seemed like the writings of a 10 year old hack. As for X… haven't had the time.
Why have I mentioned all this? To establish that even in Digimon, there's a tendency to create new worlds. So, this is set in a new world, not in any previous season. This is a dangerous minefield for me, since that means the entire digital world and every Digimon is an OC. Here's hoping I don't screw up…
Also altered the Madoka 5th timeline. I figure Homura killed Oriko and her girl friday, but Kyoko should still have Yuma with her.
The UBW route doesn't answer what happens to Sakura. I want to fix that…
Please review, C&C welcome.
Until next time, this is Shadow, signing off.
