Tamers Requiem

What is Tamers Requiem?

Well, it's a truly good series of Fanfics by CrazyEight that can be found on Fanfiction.net and a continuation of Digimon Tamers.

Book 1: Hazard's Sorrow involves a digimon named Lucemon emerging from the digital world to kill Guilmon, and he does. In the mean time, he's trapped in the human world badly injured and is taken in by a girl and her family. Eventually, Takato, out of grief attempts to ressurect Guilmon. It doesn't turn out as planned.

Book 2: A Time to Heal is merely a four chapter thinking piece and a teaser for Book 3: Less than Human, where the plot really comes forward. It also gets into Crossover territory with at least one other season and a movie.

Book 4: Revival and Book 5: Rise of Shadows take place several years later with a new menace coming forth in the form of a character named Prometheus, whose plans are rather sketchy.

There are also a few shorter stories for the series that fill in a few blanks, but aren't completely necessary to understand the storyline. These include Moonlight Lullaby (set between Book 1 and Book 2), Resting and Season's Bonds, A Knight's Heart, and Twists of Fate, Prelude to Revival (set between Book 3 and Book 4), and Book 0: Toys, Snowmen, and Digimon (a holiday prequel to Requiem that is set after the television show, but before Book 1).

 * Darker and Edgier: Just as Digimon Tamers was considered this in regards to the earlier installments of the franchise, Tamers Requiem manages to take it even further while still remaining true to the spirit of the series.

 * Or we could consider how the fight between Beelzemon and Megidramon in Digimon Tamers.
 * Even creating Guilmon in the first place seemed to have a few unexpected side effects. The Digi-Gnomes had to get the data they used to make him from somewhere. They just chose a very unwise source. Cue mindless, X-program zapping, nightmare showing up in the park.
