Ken, wiping away a Single (very fake) tear: Today we lost our dear friend Shane. SHANE (Hiding if not actually Stuck in Digital form): STOP Telling everyone I'm dEAD--- DAISUKE (Confuse?): Sometimes I still hear Shane's voice...? SHANE: SHANE: I'm not playing games with you two tonight. DAISUKE, DISTRESSED: Oh cOME ON-----

(My Digi-Advs Inter-national Chosen Child O.C. Shane's profile is up!)

{These are re-done profile pages for a revival of my 02 web-shrine!} [Which will include profile pages for my O.C.s still actively in use!]

(Shane originally didn't have one at time, so Shane's page is new!)

Digi-Advs 02 O.C.s Story ~ "COF" ({Chosen} of Faith) ~ Daisuke is visiting my 02 O.C. Hikaru, {who Daisuke may have (mutual?!) starting crushes with} except meets a 'surprise visitor?' {Shane!} instead. {Exact cap of the file on my old C.D.} which has all the pages I could save, except imgs + font colors won't display until I re-create the whole site again.

In the old story Young Me accidentally spelled Michael wrong so it's 'corrected' here, lol. (I was also using "Willis" but since am correcting it to canon!"Wallace".) Thus the implication here is Shane 'knows' Michael & Wallace But is it The Case ? Dun-dun-dun... "Meanwhile with Daisuke (+Shane)" Series: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 16 / 17 (A.U. Spin-off {Dgmn x P.k.m.n}) ["To Be Continued" Someday, mAYBE...] (It's mostly crack {humor} A.U. spin-offs, 02 Chosen also show briefly in-between, Ken->Daisuke<-Hikaru as open relationships + Kou+Tai are main featured 'ship's here, but mostly in the background for now. Hikaru still exists there too, though, and does appear!)

{More details under the 'read more'!}

Shane did mention another given name here; however, I might pick a different one this time {unsure}

The precursor to the "REPEAT?_Verse" and "The Past World" (Hikaru cameos in Chs 4 + 6 of 'The Past World', it also shows a later section of what would have eventually been part of Koushiro's 'ARC' in my old story {this one}!)

by Young Me circa Pre-2k10 (to eventually be re-written in Full) Or, in which Young Me casually uses foreshadowing to conceal that my O.C. is very much a Very (Mostly) Dead One. {i.e. Shane answering the door instead of owner of the home}

... Except this may or may not have been on the site. I honesly can't remember, but if someone remembers seeing this, PLEASE let me know!

Shanes' Mon: ... SHANE: ...(FLOATING...) {FLOATING...} {Eyes Closed} SHANES' MON: (Shane.) Shane: ... {Sigh} Yeah? Shanes' Mon: ... You've been here a while... Shane: (I was resting.) Shane: Are you concerned for me? I'm fine. Shane: I have these (*holds up Taichi+Daisuke's GOGGLES*) now, so... and Koushiro-...san really upgraded them well. So I can actually SEE where I'm going now when I need to. Shanes' Mon: (It's like you've 'accomodated' yourself.) SHANE: ... (M aybe.) Shane: At the same time, the colors sometimes give me a headache. But Koushiro-san did add in an option that can dim them... but then it's harder to see the signals for "distortions". Shanes' Mon: (But at least, you can still somewhat tell them apart based on the vividness.) Shane: ... (Yeah...) Shane: ... Well, I'm up now, so... Shanes' Mon: (Where are you going from here?) Shane: I don't know. (Mostly I just wanted to "sleep".) Shanes' Mon: ... Shanes' Mon: (But you said, 'want{ED}'.) Shane: Yeah. There's people I want to see again... SHANE: ... But I know they'll wait for me where they can, so there's no major rush. Shanes' Mon: (Are you going to go back to "sleep"?) Shane: (It depends.) Are you going to be there when I open my eyes? SHANES' MON: ... (If you reach out to me.) SHANE: ... Shane: (Yeah, I know.) Guess I gotta wake up then. Shanes' Mon: (As you know, I cannot leave "the Void". But you know how "to communicate" with me.) SHANE: ... Right. (And you know how "to listen".) Shanes' Mon: (You might want to put those goggles back on.) Shane: ('Heh') Honestly, I'm surprised I got this much use out of them, but as said, they're... functional now. SHANE, ADJUSTING GOGGLES: Ready. Shanes' Mon: (Time to 'wake up'.) SHANE, SEEING Darkness ... and Signals: SHANE, OPENING EYES: (*in a bed*) ... ?? ? PATRICK (Shane's sibling): Huh, I thought I heard something...!! ! W-wait, SHANE??? SHANE, Awkwardly raising hand slowly: Um, hi PATRICK, IN AWE: You're at my place--!! ! Shane, nodding: I'm ... home? PATRICK: SHANE: ... (I'm solid.) (I'm not glitching out.) PATRICK: ... Do you still need to rest? Shane: ... Maybe a bit. But later... we can see? PATRICK: That's fine. Just... let me know when you're feeling better. (*closes door carefully*) SHANE, CHECKING GOGGLES: (Still here.) SHANE, CHECKING DIGIVICE: {STILL... Here.} Shane, sighing in relief: (I guess it'd be {REALLY} Bad if even the most powerful 'Mon in all the universe got caught up in 'that'.) SHANES' MON: (They don't Know the half of it.) SHANE: {LAUGHS} ... Hey. Shanes' Mon: (Say hi to Patrick for me.)

SHANE, FINALLY... Reaching Hikaru's home: (At night) Shane, properly standing outside Hikaru's home: Shane: S h a n e: (*quiet but firm knocking, enough that it won't wake Hikaru's whole family up, but likely Hikaru will hear, because*) SHANE: (*KNOWS Hikaru is a Night Owl*)--- Hikaru, Right on Cue: (*Opening... Door*) ... SHANE: ... HIKARU: ... Hikaru: O-Oh! You're here... Shane: ... Yeah. Hikaru, Concerned: ...Is something happening? Shane: ... Kind of. It'll take way too long to explain, but... Shane: ... I wanted to let you know first. Hikaru: ... Hikaru: OK. Do you want to come insid--- Shane, Unnerved at thought: Just here is fine. Hikaru: We can sit here, then. (*sits on steps*) Shane, following, Sitting Next To: ... Hikaru: I heard a little of what was happening before, but as for "now"... Shane: I know. Shane: ... I... have to go away for a bit again. Hikaru: ... Hikaru: "A bit"? (Not A Short Time?) Shane: ... Yeah. (Not A Short Time.) Hikaru, letting out a small breath: ... I see. Shane: ... You deserve to know. Before I... leave again. I'm sorry I... couldn't tell you before. Hikaru: HIKARU: I don't like that. Shane: ... Uh?? (*sTARTLE, BLINK*)-- H I K A R U: YOU'RE the one who died. HIKARU: You didn't deserve any of that!! It's not your fault that happened to you...!! ! Hikaru: ... Shane: ... Shane: Y-Yeah. Hikaru: I kept waiting. A long time... all through the end of elementary and middle school... waiting to see if you'd reach out online again. And when you didn't... Hikaru: I assumed "something" must have happened to you. Hikaru: So I researched. A lot. I kept up with coding, even if I wasn't sure it'd be completely helpful in locating you. But I realized... Hikaru: I actually grew to enjoy it on my own, too. So I kept pursuing it for myself. Shane: ...Yeah. You had a lot of fun with that site. HIKARU: AND talking to you!! SHANE: ... Hikaru: It was really fun. I think it was some of the most fun of my life so far... and, you "mean" something to me, too. In a unique but "different" way... but "different" from what a lot may perceive that as... does that make sense?? Shane: ... Yeah. (*Nodding*) It does. Shane: And... I'm kind of grateful, too. Hikaru: ... ??? Shane: The "bond" I have with you is important to me too... and I don't want to lose you... Because... I don't think I could stand to lose someone important (again). Hikaru, Never completely learnt about Shane's past relations: ... Shane: But... if you ever have to go somewhere someday... its fine. (I'll be ok. WE'LL Be OK.) Hikaru, smiling: ... The same for you. SHANE: ... Hikaru: ..But you know which e-mail address YOU can reach me at. Shane: (... -- Hikaru still has it.) Hikaru: It never got deleted in all those purges. (*Light laughter*) We saved yours, too... in case you needed it again. SHANE: ... I do. Need. That. Hikaru: For what you're about to do? Shane: YEAH... Hikaru: Let's reinstate it, then. But... you'll have something tying you to "this world" again. SHANE: It's ok. Do it. Please. Hikaru: You don't even need to ask! Shane: (I wanted to.) {Watching as Hikaru sets Shane's old address back up} Hikaru: So.... "Skateboard"... and the numbers. SHANE, GROANING INTERNALLY: I'm sorry it was so standard. (I can't even skateboard now. And it's not like I was really great at it before.) Hikaru: It's ok. I liked typing it out! SHANE: ... (This is why it was nice talking to Hikaru.) (Among... elsewise) SHANE: ... If it's done... Yeah... I have to go. Hikaru: I know. Shane: ... This will probably always be happening to me in some way, but... I'll always try to come back. Hikaru: I know! Hikaru: See you ... next year? Shane: I'll try. For "next year". And... Hikaru: ??? Shane, fading out: Tell DAISUKE and Ken I still need to finish playing against them in their "game"! SHANE, HOLDING UP DIGIVICE: AND I'LL WIN "THIS ONE"! SHANE, In OTHER hAND, Holding TAICHI+DAISUKEs GOGGLES: (*one-handed PUTS ON*) HIKARU, LAUGHING, HOLDING UP D3 IN SILVER, GOLD AND PINK, & PHONE DIGIVICE TOO: I WILL!!

{O.C.} GoldVmon: So, HOW do we "get out of here", then? (*referring to "The Void" GoldVmon & Co. are stuck in*) Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane: Back when I "got out" the first time... (Frowning in Contemplation) Shane's Mon: It is perhaps a bit like "wishing"-- GoldVmon: Oh, I know how to do that!! Like when I wish for more chocolate and Hikaru's family's cooking!! Shane, rather avoids Rich sweetness (but also just kind of Awkward Responding): Shane's Mon: Shane's Mon: ...Or perhaps a bit more like "communing". For example, if you express your feelings in such a way as to "convey" them to--- Shane: (Convey my feelings?? WhyThisTM) GoldVmon: Oh! I can do that too!! LIKE, "I WANT TO SEE HIKARU, I WANT TO SEE HIKARU, I WANT TO SEE HIKARU, I WANT TO SEE HIKARU!" Something like 'that', right?!?? SHANE: Shane's Mon: Shane's Mon, hinting to Shane: If you perhaps have trouble expressing yourself verbally, you could also relate your feelings along the lines of emotiona-- SHANE, tAKING DEEP Breath: (I want to see Hikaru.) SHANE'S MON: S H A N E *IN MIND*: (I want to see Hikaru. I want to see Hikaru. I want to see Hikaru. I WANT TO SEE HIKARU IWANTTOSEEHIKARU I WWWWANTTOSEE HIKARU) GoldVmon, JOINING in, chanting along with Shane's 'thoughts' even if GoldVmon cant hear it But Maybe Has An Idea: "I want to see Hikaru I want to see Hikaru I want to see Hikaru I WANT TO SEE HIKARU /I WANT TO SEE/" SHANE & GOLDVMON: ("HIKARU"!!!) A CRACK in The Void: (*OPENING*) SHANE, SHANE'S MON & GOLDVMON: ???!!?! DAISUKE: WHOA, what is all this?!?? HIKARU, clinging to Daisuke's arm as an immense whirlwind instantly kicked up around them all: Daisuke, we HAVE to get back--!! SHANE & GOLDVMON: SHANE: HEY, DAISUKE, HIKARU - grab on--!! Daisuke: HUH?!? Who are -- oh, it's you - I met you way back then--!! (Struggling to speak among wind) SHANE: That doesn't matter right now, just grab on, or you'll get flung into "The Void"!! Hurry!! GoldVmon: HIKARU!!! DAISUKE!! (*Holding out Hand*) Hikaru: ?!!??! (*in pure SHOCK*) Hikaru: GoldVmon?! How?!!... (*the sudden kick of realization as Shane is in view*) - SHANE?!??-- Daisuke: Hikaru, they're helping, let's do it--! Hikaru: Hikaru: ...OK! (*grabs Shane's hand, holding onto Daisuke with other*) DAISUKE: Great, thanks!! (*grabs GoldVmon's other hand*) So what's going on here?!! Shane, yelling over wind: This place is "The Void", it's like "Limbo" but worse!! You're here because something harmed you while you were Digitized, so we've got to get you back out before it's too late-!! Hikaru, Looking at Daisuke: ...Daisuke, I don't really remember what was happening just before, but, you activated the Digimental of Miracles...- SHANE'S MON: DAISUKE: The enemy's attack was headed for us, we were falling, we had no choice!! If we kept falling we'd be destroyed already!! (I Didn't Want to Use it But I HAD TO!!) Hikaru: But you don't have your Crest yet--!! Daisuke: I know, but Shane was your friend, maybe these people can help us get out from here, then--!! SHANE: SHANE'S MON: ... SHANE'S MON: (I suppose it's time to reveal my true form.) SHANE, Noticing Something's Up: ...?!! Shane: (What's wron--) SHANE'S MON, SHIFTING: ALL: ?!???!?

Shane, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling: Shane's Mon: ... Shane's Mon In Shane's Mind: (You should rest...) Shane: (I just met Hikaru again for the first time in years since that "final battle".) Shane's Mon: (Yes, and you played against Hikaru at the arcade, and Hikaru soundly defeated you. In multiple rounds.) Shane: (I don't care about that.) Shane: (I'm just glad Hikaru's actually "okay".) Shane: (When I watched from the void, I could tell Hikaru was really torn up about losing "them", even way "back then". And...) {"Me"} Shane's Mon: ... Shane: (But it's been years since. I also don't think Hikaru's completely "okay" yet...) Shane: (... But Hikaru kept going.) Shane's Mon: (And so? What are you going to do now?) Shane: ... Shane: (There are certain effects the Void had on my mind that I just can't completely erase. I could even be pulled back in.) Shane's Mon: (That's true. At the least, I'd maybe be present if you are.) Shane: (Thanks.) Shane: (But I know even you can't completely stop its effects on me.) Shane's Mon: ... Shane: (Even by tomorrow, everything could be upside down again. Even if summer "ended", the Digital Worlds' effects can continue far past there.) Shane's Mon: (That is also true. For example, events that happened near the winter rather than Spring.) Shane's Mon: (Do you have a plan?) Shane: Shane: (It depends if the void pulls me back in or not.) Shane's Mon: Shane: (Even if it does... Somehow) SHANE: (I'm going to help them all restore the Digital World's "balance". I don't know fully "how" yet, but I'm going to.) SHANE'S MON: Shane's Mon: (Either way you do so...) Shane's Mon: (I will be in the Void.) SHANE: (I know.) Shane's Mon: (My connection may be cut off in between. It is unpredictable.) Shane: (I know.) Shane's Mon: (...A good place to start might be analyzing the "Digivice" Koushiro has been modifying further.) SHANE: SHANE: (You mean---) SHANE'S MON: (It is not called the "Holy Device" for nothing.) {Fades} SHANE: ... SHANE: (... Speaking of my Digivice...) Shane: (.. I can't use it when {they're} not here.)

Shane, sitting off to the side inside a ramen stall during the Obon festival: (...) That Voice at The Back of Shane's Mind, Which Is Totally Not Shane's Mon speaking from The Void, eventually, Speaking Up: (You're sulking.) SHANE: Shane: (I Am Not.) Shane's Mon: (You're scared at the thought of meeting Hikaru again, even when all the conditions are, in actuality, quite good. Aside from the possible return of your earlier "Issue"...) SHANE: Shane: (I think I'm more scared at the thought of seeing Hikaru NOT wearing pants. Or at least, what we looked like while we were stuck in the Digital World together for what felt like *years*.) Shane's Mon: SHANE'S MON: (You're worried your relationship will change because so much time has passed, and Hikaru will abandon you despite the close partnership from before.) SHANE: Shane's Mon: (Why do you believe Hikaru would abandon you, when Hikaru never showed any such ill feelings towards you before? You two saved the worlds together, even "back then". Hikaru is not one to throw that kind of partnership away so easily.) Shane: ... {I Don't Want To Say They're Right But} DAISUKE, BURSTING IN: SHANE: (Sits) (Doesn't Budge An Inch) DAISUKE: OI, YOU--- SHANE: (Turning, Casually/lazily) What. DAISUKE: Daisuke: ... Listen, you, we were going to invite you anyway! HIKARU'S (EMPHASIZED) meeting up with us tonight and-! KEN, Casually: We brought you an extra yukata, if you want one for tonight. SHANE: Shane: My kimono's at .. home. Patrick can pick it up for me before it gets late. (Goes back to meal) DAISUKE & KEN, EXCHANGING GLANCES: Ken: (Nods; "Shane's telling the truth") Daisuke: ... Well, uh, then, HIKARU will be here tonight, and Hikari-chan's coming later too, and when that happens, we're all going back TOGETHER. Yeah, that's DEFINITELY what's going to happen!! DAISUKE, TAKING A SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO SHANE: Ken: ... (Sits next to Shane on opposite end.) SHANE: Shane's Mon: (They're worried about you wandering around alone during Obon after you ran off earlier.) SHANE: (I KNOW.) Shane's Mon: (At least Ken's not as upset anymore.) SHANE: (INTERNAL GROAN) Shane's Mon: (Now you just have to survive meeting Hikaru without accidentally causing the ends of the worlds again.) SHANE: (STOP REMINDING ME!!!!) SHANE'S MON: (Well, it's a bit quiet in the Void without you...) S H A N E: (YOU could come out from the Void once in a while.) SHANE'S MON: Shane's Mon: (It is not possible at this time.) Shane's Mon: {Voice Slowly Fades} SHANE: Shane: (Sighs) (I'll figure out what I can do for it Later.) Shane: (For now, I have to get through a whole night of Obon fesitival, and... These Two.)

SHANE, (when) still Temporarily Digital: ... SHANE floating around somewhere in the distance closer to the ceiling: I mean. I can't exactly "phase" back "in" at will, so… I guess I'm up for "a while". DAISUKE, Looking At Ken Pleadingly: SHANE: ... I'll leave when I get tired. ("I'll leave if it's a bother." / "I don't really care.") KEN: ... KEN, laughing a bit: Would you like to have a round at the "scary stories"? SHANE: DAISUKE: Shane: Sure. (*floats / is pulled back down, but can't exactly move to "sit"*) I got some really cool ones. I don't know if you'll find them cool, but I do. Ken: Go for it.

GOLDV-MON: HEY, I'M REALLY *NOT* "DEAD" YE--- SHANE'S MON: No, but you've been floating in vain like this for a while. Gold V-Mon: (You could HELP???) (Pleading Eyes) SHANE'S MON: You know I cannot do something like that, though. I'm just "along for the-" ... "ride", as Shane would probably put it. Gold V-Mon, Frustrated Sighing: So why do you keep 'appearing', then?! SHANE'S MON: It's very slow here. Gold V-Mon: IT IS, so talk with me!! SHANE'S MON: I am. But you seem to have a hard time figuring out what you'd like to 'talk' with 'me' about. GOLD V-MON: Gold V-Mon: ... I'm going to talk about {GAME} ok?? SHANE'S MON: GOLD V-MON: (YOU'RE GOING TO *LIKE IT*, OK???) SHANE'S MON: (Shane's world is... Interesting.)

Meanwhile with DigiAdvs 02 [...and some O.C.s]

Ken, to Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane: Tell me {"US"} what else you saw. {In, the "Digital" Void} Shane: ... Ken: Like those "landmarks" you mentioned. S h a n e: ... Shane, Deep sighing: ...Fine. Shane: I could only "float" ("get pulled") through, so I wasn't going along *completely* by my own will. But at the same time, once the "landmark" came into view... I WANTED to Know what it was about. Because there might have been "hints" in that place as to "what was happening to me". Ken, nodding: (Go on...) Shane, grunting a bit in frustration when remembering 'that': ... So I got "pulled" closer to the landmark, and my partner... well, "they" usually follow along with me. (I'm not sure if I should tell "this person" that my partner has *control*...) (*Doesn't*) So I had a small "idea" it was an actual landmark, I just had no idea what I'd find there. Shane, recounting further: So I entered from the digital "stream" above, but suddenly... I landed. Ken, echoing: You "landed". Shane, NODDING: There was something similar to "gravity" there, except there *wasn't*. Ken, Wheels turning in Mind: ... So, how did you "land"? Shane: I'm not completely sure... but once I "explored" further, I realized the "digital space" surrounding "that" place may have been "warped". Shane: I saw something that looked like "Mt. Fuji" but then thought, "that can't POSSIBLY be Mt. Fuji??" KEN: ... (Oh no...) Shane: But it looked *scary similar* in silhouette. So I "landed" at random, and then (stumbled around) *walked* around, looking for any "clue" - if there even *were* any. And then, I found a "hidden place" that looked like it once had PEOPLE there... KEN: Shane: - But there *wasn't* any people around - but there WAS "tech" - "DIGITAL" related "tech" from OUR world. Ken: (That's the "scrap data"... that's 'normal'...) Shane: I had seen similar before, too, but this kind... it was once FUNCTIONAL. KEN: (... Oh no.) Shane: Over half of this "area" was already in ruins. There was shattered glass in one area of the ground... And the place itself looked like it had been "abandoned". But I went up to one of the strange "technological"-like "capsules" - that looked large enough to *hold a human*. Ken: (Oh NO.) Shane: The majority of these "tech" pieces still had their 'lids' on, but some clearly had pieces that broke off over time, because that glass was on the ground too. The one I went up to, though - it had a Digital panel ON it. And because I know a "little bit" (a LOT) about coding, I could ACCESS IT. Ken: What did you find?? Shane: It looked like the panel had BEEN accessed once before... AND, whoever accessed it, LET OUT whatever was inside. As if "whoever" was in there was once "held" or "contained" in there. Or... Ken: ... "Trapped?" Shane: Yeah. The glass was *heaviest* around a capsule *across* from the one I accessed too, like it had *mostly* shattered from *that* specific "capsule". And there were *exactly SEVEN others like the one I accessed*... KEN: ... 8 in total. SHANE: ... Yeah. KEN: ... ("Eight Chosen Children") SHANE: Except ONE of them had that extra glass near it. But it TOO was in an "open" state... KEN: SHANE: So I checked *that one's* panel... and that was when I also realized the glass was removed from the INSIDE. KEN: ... (Whoever inside was trying to "escape".) Shane: So I checked the panel's logs to see if I could figure out at all what had been happened there. It had big "ERROR" recordings all over - like the capsule's functioning was interrupted from the moment the damage began, even if it had been trying to keep the "subject" contained a little longer. Shane: So ... I reasoned, the one inside "this" capsule must have "let out" or "rescued" the ones inside all seven of *the rest*. *Whoever* it was... they *had knowledge* OF coding AND "hacking" to be able to access these panels. KEN: (... It's not unusual for some "Digital" beings, but when you add in "Eight Chosen" relevancy...) SHANE: ... And. The whole place was about ready to self destruct. Or. You know. Explode KEN:

Inter-national O.C. Chosen Shane, & KEN: ... KEN: ... SHANE: ... Shane: You're the one who said you wanted to Talk, so... Ken: Ken: Yes. (*deep breath*) (*Formally*) I... must apologize. To you, as well. Shane: Shane, sighing a bit: ... This is about when you were the Kaiser, right??- KEN: Ken: ... It is. Shane: ... Shane: You know, it was really *extremely* obnoxious of you that you even chose the NAME "Kaiser". Ken: I know. Shane: You understood what that "title" means to my people and I, right? Ken: ... If I could go back, and erase *everything* I did, I woul-- SHANE: Well, You Can't... KEN: SHANE: ... (*crossing arms*) Which is why you can only keep "moving forward" from here. Ken: ... (I know Shane's right.) Shane, slowly: ... So, that also means, *maybe*, *not* assisting people like... KEN: SHANE: ... Well. If you tell them who I am, and *how I came back*, even if you obscured *some* details... you know, it'd *still* be a *HUGE* scandal? It'd be *all* over the news. People would be shocked because I was presumed to be long dead. Ken: But they didn't find your body... Shane: No. But the places I frequented... they all *knew* I was *gone*. It was *unusual* for me to *not* go back there. And... I bet they *also* all spoke heavily to "investigators" *and* "detectives" back then. (Because they're *two different things*, as we know...) KEN: Ken: ... So you're saying I can't report you're "alive". SHANE: (re-emphasizing) If you DID, there'd be chaos. And people "in the know" (about {The true extent of the Digital World...}) would likely *also* trace MOST of it back to *ALL OF US.* *Including the enemies.* Including the ones *NOT 'just'* 'Digital'. K E N: ... Shane: ... In exchange, I'll let you know what *you* wanted to know about the nature of my "disappearance". But *I* only knew so much, too. Ken, firmly: Please tell us. Shane: ... Shane: (... It might have been similar to what happened to Ken "that time" Ken got pulled in...) I was, once again, pulled in by the force of the Digital World because I *was* Chosen, *before*. But instead of passing through 'properly'... at the time, it felt like my body was being torn to shreds. KEN: Shane: And I probably *was*. (Now That I Think About it.) Shane: But I didn't *know* fully *at the time*, because the NEXT thing I knew, I was "awake", in the Void. And it's, for the most part, completely *empty* there... Ken, ECHOING: "'For the most part...'?" Shane, sighing: Shane: There were some strange "landmark"-like places I came across. But I couldn't tell you their names. And even *they* were near completely void of even any "*Digital*" beings. SHANE: -AND, *then*, I saw some of what looked like *your* "Dark Towers". KEN: ... (This Is Going To Be A Long 'Talk'...)

"Chosen of Faith: The Fan Fic" {from pre-2k10 era} - 02 Chosen attempt to destroy a Dark Tower; Inter-national Chosen Shane runs to join in the fray, and Ken also witnesses Shane for the first time (as the battle takes place closer in Tamachi's direction, Ken wasn't where the rest of 02 Chosen and Shane were.)

{In this part, Shane is physical, and can be seen by all present.} (However, Shane did not get to introduce self to Ken by name, as the teams were distracted during the battle.)

(My O.C. Hikaru, Silver Chibimon, & Gold Chibimon's profiles are up!) {These are re-done profile pages for a revival of my 02 web-shrine!}

Meanwhile with DigiAdvs 02 & O.C.s

DemiGoldVmon: D'you think Hikaru will like Daisuke's present?? (Fretting a Bit) DemiSilVmon, Not Quite Getting It Yet But: Sure she will, they're really close after all!!! DemiSilVmon: Besides, the present is (actually) cute! {can tell it's Hikaru relevant} DemiGoldVmon: I hope it'll be all right.. (Chibimon's worried too but is hanging with the rest...) DemiSilVmon: Let's just watch over her for now! DemiGoldVmon: .. Yeah, I'm kind of pooped after that battle! (Tired Whines but Then) It was cool at the end when "that boy" Hikaru knew and that other one showed up! What was its name again?? Something like "P"... "Pii-ka"?? DemiSilVmon: I was already Evolved so I was kind of really busy fighting!... But yeah, they helped! They made a really good team with Daisuke and Vmon too!! Especially when they Evolved! DemiGoldVmon, Nodding: Yeah, I want to thank those guys later!! It helped me out by the time I was joining in too, since I can't Evolve yet and there were so many Adult levels around!! DemiSilVmon, musing: Come to think of it, though, I didn't see them hanging around back with everyone else at the house. Maybe they went back home?... DemiGoldVmon, deflating: Maybe... O.C. Shane, Sighing as GoldVmon later joins Shane in Floating Endlessly in a Digital Void: (He had no idea Pika*** was camouflaging itself.) Shane: (And apparently I was not just "part Digital" but "DEAD" and when I "disappeared" {at the end} I was being dragged back into the Void {Death} again) Shane: (But I didn't KNOW IT At the Time) Shane: (I DID get to mess with Daisuke one more time at least by the end but I didn't get to See Hikaru...) Shane's Mon: (So, whoever did "this" to you essentially "killed you" for "some reason". Almost as if to "prevent" you from "being around"... {Hikaru}??) SHANE: (And now GoldVmon {Hikaru's 2nd 'Mon} is here.) Shane's Mon: (What are you going to Do?) SHANE: ... Shane: (In retrospect I'm not completely sure what I CAN do.) Shane's Mon: (Well, you Got Out of Here Before...) SHANE: Shane: (Are you Implying something?) Shane's Mon: (...You could try the same Again.) S H A N E:
