Digimon War Prologue
The Peace Server was full of energy and life as several Digimon walked around the courtyard of the Peace Castle. They played games, visited with friends or ate some of the delicious food served by the venders.
The Digimon have all gathered at Peace Castle to celebrate the anniversary of when QueenPeacemon brought peace to the Digital World. Digimon of all species and levels were celebrating happily together, even QueenPeacemon's Peace Warriors were enjoying the festival. As the Digimon celebrated a tall, Digimon in samurai like armor walked through the crowd, ignoring the festivities as he entered the castle.
The Digimon was QueenPeacemon's greatest general, Tactimon. He was tasked with commanding her army and seeing that war never reached the Peace Server. He was good at his job and although he would have liked to join the others in the celebration, he couldn't bring himself to. Along with commanding her army, Tactimon tasked himself with keeping QueenPeacemon safe. It was because of her that the Digital World had entered a time of peace, but there was always a threat of war on the horizon and the rumor of a powerful Digimon causing war didn't make him even more relaxed.
Tactimon walked down the elegant hallways of the castle to the grand dining room where QueenPeacemon was entertaining two of her close friends. Two Knightmon stood guard in front of the door to the dining room. They saw Tacitmon and opened the great wooden doors to allow for the general to enter.
The grand dining room was a large room with a big circular, golden table in the middle with an elegant chandelier above it. There were several chairs around the round table with a more elegant and golden one towards the front of it. The room had several glass stained windows that lit the room with a colorful light. There was a large fire place towards the far end of the room where an elegant portrait of QueenPeacemon sat above it.
QueenPeacemon, an enchanting dove-like humanoid in elegant robes with a small crystal crown on the top of her head sat at the front of the table. The table was covered with a verity of Digimon delicacies from around the Digital World setting at the table with QueenPeacemon, stuffing his face, was KingEtemon. The tall, yellow monkey had already eaten half of the food on the table while his companion, a rather large, yellowish golden ball with arms, legs and a face, ate his food at a more casual pace. PrinceMamemon would occasionally pat his lips with a napkin before returning to his meal.
QueenPeacemon noticed Tactimon enter and smiled at his presence.
"Tactimon, what a pleasant surprise, please join us," She said to him.
QueenPeacemon's silky, pleasing and comforting voice made Tactimon relax a little. He always enjoyed being in QueenPeacemon's presences, because it always made him feel more relaxed and happy when with her.
Tactimon did a quick bow before he spoke. His authoritative voice rang through the room as he spoke, causing KingEtemon to stop swallowing all of QueenPeacemon's food.
"Thank you my queen, but I am preoccupied at the moment" Tactimon told her.
QueenPeacemon smiled again at the comment before Tactimon continued to speak.
"I just came to see how you and your guest were doing and to make sure you were safe," Tactimon continued.
"We are fine, thank you, Tactimon," QueenPeacemon told him.
Tactimon surveyed the room, ignoring the gazes of KingEtemon and PrinceMamemon.
"I know my lady; it's just, with the rumors of this war crazed Digimon going around I like to see for myself that you are safe," Tactimon replied.
"Oh, Tactimon, you worry too much" QueenPeacemon told him. "The Digital World is experiencing its longest moment of peace in centuries. This rumor about a Digimon known as Tyrantmon is nothing more than that, a rumor,"
"Yeah, QueenPeacemon is right, there hasn't been any fighting since she started her campaign," KingEtemon said in agreement, his voice sounding like a bad Elvis Presley impression.
"That's not entirely true, there are still bad Digimon out there that I have yet to reform. Most of them are in hiding but some have caused some trouble, but Tactimon and the others have taken care of it," QueenPeacemon stated.
"Yes and it's those Digimon that worry me. If any of them were to get into this sever now, several innocent Digimon would be hurt," Tactimon told them.
"Oh dear, maybe having the festival now wasn't such a good idea," PrinceMamemon said.
"The festival is being held to give the Digimon a since of security and that they are free to live happily, it's what they all need now," QueenPeacemon told them.
Tactimon was about to ask about increasing security when the doors to the room burst open and Vulcanusmon rushed into the room. The multi-armed Digimon rushed towards Tactimon before collapsing.
"Vulcanusmon, what's the matter?" Tactimon asked, as he helped the Digimon up.
Vulcanusmon let out a groan as he was helped to his feet.
"It was terrible" The older Digimon told them. "I was working on the weapon to defeat the rumored Tyrantmon in my Weapons Server when Weaselmon showed up. He had an army of Digimon with him and they attacked me. I managed to distract them and just barely got away,"
KingEtemon and PrinceMamemon let out a loud gasp when they heard that while QueenPeacemon stood up.
"Did they get the weapon?" QueenPeacemon asked.
Vulcanusmon shook his head.
"I'd only managed to create the five pieces needed for it before the attack. I have them right here," Vulcanusmon told them.
Vulcanusmon then reached into the pouch on his waist and pulled out four strange shaped golden pieces.
"There are only four here, where is the fifth?" Tactimon asked him.
"I gave the fifth piece to Gallantmon before I came here," He answered.
"Good, we can trust Gallantmon to keep it safe until then, Tactimon, I want you take a piece and I want you keep a piece yourself, Vulcanusmon. Give the other two to KingEtemon and PrinceMamemon," QueenPeacemon ordered.
"What? Are you sure you want to give them a piece?" Tactimon asked, pocketing one of the pieces.
"Yes, Weaselmon, won't think of them to have a piece," QueenPeacemon said.
Tactimon reluctantly walked over to the two and handed both of them a piece of the mysterious weapon. They both looked uneasy.
"KingEtemon, PrinceMamemon, I'm trusting you two to guard those pieces with your lives. If Tyrantmon gets his hands on them then the Digital World would be doomed," QueenPeacemon told them.
KingEtemon closed his hand around the piece and saluted her.
"You can count on me, QueenPeacemon, I won't let anyone touch it and if they try to I'll give them a good King Mon-Kick in the rear," He told her demonstrating a kick.
"Quite right, you can count on use to protect them our queen," PrinceMamemon told her.
She smiled and nodded.
Suddenly the whole castle shook as several explosions could be heard from outside.
"What was that?" KingEtemon asked in panic.
"Weaselmon must have let them into the server" Tactimon told them. "Quickly now you must get of here, I'll deal with them,"
Tactimon then rushed out of the room, ordering the Knightmon at the door to stand guard. QueenPeacemon then hurried to the fire place and pulled on the candle stick that sat on the mantle. The fireplace then moved away from the wall and turned to reveal a hidden staircase that descended into a secret passageway.
"Follow these stairs to the bottom and then follow the tunnel to the outside. Once outside you three must return to your respected servers and protect yourselves and those who follow you there," QueenPeacemon told them.
The three then hurried over and down the stairs. Vulcanusmon stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at QueenPeacemon.
"What about you my lady?" He asked.
"I'll find another way out you must get out of here. Keep the pieces safe until the chosen come to retrieve it," She told him.
Vulcanusmon nodded and hurried down the stairs after the others. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he heard the secret door at the top of the stairs close and the fireplace slide back into position.
Tactimon ran back into the open courtyard to see it in chaos. Several of the Knightmon and PeaceTroopmon were fighting with the enemy army, while several of the other Digimon were running for cover. The enemy army was much larger than the force they had at the Peace Kingdom and consisted of a variety of Digimon.
"Get the other Digimon to safety" Tactimon ordered. "Activate the turrets, close all gates and don't let any of them get into the castle!"
Tactimon ran into the middle of the courtyard and was about to engage a fierce looking Digimon when he heard a shout come from above.
"Tyrant Collbrande!" The voice shouted.
Tactimon looked up to see an intimidating, maroon Dragon-Man Digimon with a flaming sword falling from the sky at him. Tactimon rolled out of the way as the figure crashed into the ground. Tactimon got back up and held his prized weapon, the Sword of Storms, at the ready. Tactimon was use to fighting without the sword drawn. He knew of the destructive power of the sword and only planned on using it when needed.
The dragon Digmon stood up and smirked at Tactimon.
"Hello, Tactimon, long time no see," The Digmon said.
Tactimon glared at the Digimon as his grip tightened on the handle of his sword.
"Dorbickmon," Tactimon replied back.
Dorbickmon let out a small chuckle before readying his flaming sword.
"What do you say, Tactimon, one last dance, for old time's sake?" Dorbickmon asked.
Tactimon replied by rushing forward, Dorbickmon doing the same. Their swords clashed and the two warriors fought in the center of the courtyard while the battle waged on around them.
Dorbickmon's attacks were fast and strong while the rage burning inside of Dorbickmon made the fire of his sword stronger and his attacks harder. Tactimon however was able to deflect each blow and return with his attack at a precise moment. Their swords locked together causing the two to stare each other in the eye.
Dorbickmon gave Tactimon a toothy grin.
"All these years of fighting and you still fight with your sword sheathed, I must say I'm disappointed. I was hoping to witness your true power before I killed you," Dorbickmon taunted.
"All these years of fighting and you still fight only with anger instead of technique," Tactimon replied.
Dorbickmon growled and the heat of his fire sword increased Tactimon ignored it and kicked Dorbickmon back. Dorbickmon then charge forward only to be swept kicked to the ground by Tactimon.
"Primary Tactic!" Tactimon shouted.
The guns on Tactimon's back suddenly flipped over his shoulder and fired a destructive blast at Dorbickmon before he could get up. Dorbickmon was hit with the blast and found himself pushed deep into the ground by the blast.
When the blast was finish the guns flipped back onto Tactimon's back and he turned away from the crater in the ground he was about to move into the castle to check on QueenPeacemon when he heard something behind him.
"Burning the Dragon!" Dorbickmon shouted from the crater.
Tactimon turned to see the land shift as large pillars of fire suddenly began to burst from the ground and chunks of the ground exploded. Tactimon was too late to run and was hit by one of the blasts from the ground sending him flying backwards into a wall. He groaned and managed to get back to his feet to see Dorbickmon rise from the crater his sword burning bright and his body covered in flamed. Tactimon raised his weapon and prepared for the fight.
QueenPeacemon stood behind the round table in the dining room, listening to the sounds of battle outside the castle walls. She clasped her hands and prayed, hoping that the Digimon who had died would have their data recycled so that they can live again or move on to a more peaceful place. As she prayed she heard the sound of fighting coming from behind the door.
Suddenly the door was thrown open and both of the Knightmon came flying into the room. They hit the ground with a loud thud. They groaned as their bodies began to disintegrate, sending their data into the air. Suddenly a large, dark figure stepped into the room and began to absorb the data.
The figure looked like a humanoid Tyrannosaurs Rex. His armor was pitch black with a gold trim. Small spikes came out from his shoulder armor along with jutting up his back reassembly terrifying dorsal spines. He wore no helmet, showing his reddish, brown skin, red eyes and the scar that went down his left eye and across his face to the right side. The figures right hand was mechanical but looked twice as deadly as his left hand. He carried a broadsword in his left hand, and a large cannon attached to his right shoulder. He gave the queen a smile before bowing.
"QueenPeacemon, it truly is an honor to meet you," he said.
His voice was deep and it sounded as if he was some kind of nobleman. He straightened back up and began to walk to her. He walked with a purpose, his head held up high and his back straight. There was nothing wrong with his posture or the way he presented himself. If he hadn't just absorbed the data of the two Knightmon, QueenPeacemon would have found herself quite honored to be in his presences.
"Who are you?" QueenPeacemon asked.
The Digimon stopped.
"Of course, how rude of me, I am Tyrantmon, future ruler of the Digital World," He answered, bowing again.
"So you're the one who's been waging war in the other servers," QueenPeacemon said angrily.
"Guilty as charged" Tyrantmon said, with a sinister smile. "I'm so glad you've noticed my warlords and mine's little advances. I was afraid we'd never get your attention,"
"You've killed countless of innocent Digimon," QueenPeacemon told him.
"All mere casualties of war, besides we Digimon never truly die. Our data just gets recycled when defeated in battle or when our time has come," Tyrantmon told her.
"Yes true, but if you absorb their data you kill them!" QueenPeacemon shouted.
Tyrantmon seemed taken aback by the sudden burst of anger from the peaceful queen, this caused his smile to broaden.
"My, you are a feisty one" He replied. "You know for someone who preaches peace so much you've waged quite a lot of wars,"
Tyrantmon moved to the portrait over the fireplace as QueenPeacemon replied.
"The battles my generals led my armies into were fights against those Digimon that refused to negotiate and only were endangering the lives of others," She answered.
"Still you've slaughtered your fair share of Digimon. Or is your "reforming" process something more humane?" Tyrantmon asked, examining the portrait.
"I've never killed a Digimon in my life!" QueenPeacemon said, defensively. "I help those evil Digimon find the light by reforming them,"
Tyrantmon smirked and slashed the portrait with his metal claw, before turning to face the queen.
"Now I don't believe that. Sure you may speak the truth about some of the "evil" Digimon you've saved but what about the ones that can't be saved? What happened to them?" Tyrantmon asked, walking slowly to her.
"I…I let them be, I let them live their life the way they want to as long as they don't hurt anyone else," QueenPeacemon answered, avoiding Tyrantmon's gaze.
The tyrant let out a small chuckle. "Is that so? What if these Digimon's way of life was killing the innocent, defeating them so that they could absorb their data and become stronger? What if the Digimon, even after promising to stop their violence, continued to abuse one little rookie Digimon? What if they locked that little Digimon in the Virus Server, where the Digimon is found by a sinister Virus Digimon that tortures and experiments on that Digimon?"
QueenPeacemon didn't know how to reply. The Digimon Tyrantmon was describing sounded like a monster that no matter how hard she tried, wouldn't reform and walk into the light. Would she kill that Digimon like she did the others? And what of the rookie Digimon that was tortured? What if that Digimon only wanted revenge and couldn't be talked down, would she kill it as well?
Tyrantmon's smile got even wider when he saw that QueenPeacemon was having some kind of inner struggle. He approached her, arms out stretched and embraced her with a hug.
"There, there, QueenPeacemon, it's alright, we all kill at some point, it's in our nature," He told her.
QueenPeacemon found herself thankful for the madmon's hug. He was right, fighting and killing was in all of the Digimon's nature. She wanted to cry and found herself crying in the arms of the enemy while the battle continued on outside.
Tyrantmon made a surprisingly soothing hush sound.
"Don't cry, my dear, it will all be over soon and you won't have to worry about fighting for peace anymore, no one will under my rule," He told her.
QueenPeacemon found her tears stop coming when she realized what Tyrantmon was doing. She tried to break out of his grasp and found herself shoved against the wall, Tyrantmon's mechanical hand around her throat. She clasped the wrist and tried to pry it off but the grip was too tight. Tyrantmon then sheathed his sword and stroked her cheek, making the same hush sound. QueenPeacemon just struggled even more.
"You see, QueenPeacemon, there is no such thing as "peace" it's a myth. While war is very much a real thing, it provides us with a purpose, a reason to live. While peace, peace makes things worse. We only pretend to enjoy peace because we are brainwashed into thinking that it's a good thing, but in reality we hate it. In reality all we want is war so that we can see the ideals and beliefs that we hold true smoother those who hold different opinions until everyone believes the same thing we do" Tyrantmon told her. "Peace can never truly exist because of this. Everyone wants to do their own thing but they can't because it'll interfere with what someone else wants to do. The solution to this never ending conflict is war and without war life can't prosper. Our world is living proof of the benefits of war,"
QueenPeacemon barley managed to shake her head.
Tyrantmon just chuckled.
"So naïve, so blinded by the lies of your own preaching" He told her, disappointment in his voice. "But no matter, you'll soon see things my way,"
Tyrantmon then placed his left hand on her stomach.
"Power Corrupt!"He shouted.
His hand on her stomach soon then began to glow black. QueenPeacemon let out a loud scream of pain, when suddenly a bright light engulfed QueenPeacemon, sending Tyrantmon flying. QueenPeacemon slumped to the floor, breathing heavily.
Tyrantmon stood back up and looked at her to see that she remained the same. Tyrantmon then looked at his left hand to see it burned. He let out a rumbling growl and approached her.
"I'm impressed, no one's ever resisted the power of my Power Corrupt before," He told her.
QueenPeacemon just looked up at him before trying to get up.
"No matter, the Digital World is as good as mine as soon as my warlords finish off destroying your pathetic little Peace Warriors," He said.
QueenPeacemon mumbled something and shook her head. Tyrantmon knelt down and was about to ask her to repeat herself when a Digimon entered the room. This Digimon was wearing light green and black armor and a cape. The Digimon resembled a humanoid weasel.
"Master, master," The Digimon said, his voice a little high pitched.
"What Weaselmon?" Tyrantmon asked.
"The…the weapon pieces they are not here," Weaselmon answered.
"What!?" Tyrantmon growled.
Weaselmon fell backward and quickly got to his knees and began to beg.
"Please, Tyrantmon, my lord, don't hurt me" He pleaded. "I thought that Vulcanusmon would have brought them here to hide them from you,"
Tyrantmon growled and stood up, loaming over the smaller Digimon, when suddenly he heard laughter. He looked behind him to see that QueenPeacemon was trying to hide the fact that she was laughing.
"What's so funny?" Tyrantmon growled.
QueenPeacemon stopped laughing and stood up.
"The pieces of the weapons are hidden but they were given to five Digimon to protect and hide them" She told him. "The funny part is that you in trusted Weaselmon to find them,"
Tyrantmon looked back at the Digimon and huffed.
"You're right; I should have let a more competent Digimon handle this," Tyrantmon said.
Weaselmon just shot QueenPeacemon a glare.
"I promise my lord I will find the pieces and bring them to you," Weaselmon told him.
"You better," Tyrantmon said with a growl.
"The weapon pieces are the least of your worries," QueenPeacemon told them.
Tyrantmon returned his gaze on QueenPeacemon.
"And why's that?" He asked.
"Before I had Vulcanusmon begin construction on the weapon, I sent six Digivices to the Human World," QueenPeacemon said.
Weaselmon gasped while Tyrantmon just sneered at QueenPeacemon.
"Ha, you think six humans can save you? They are no match against my armies," He told her.
"Maybe alone, but together they will gather the five pieces of the weapon, activate it and destroy you," QueenPeacemon said.
"Not if I get to them first," Tyrantmon said threateningly.
"It still wouldn't matter. Even if you manage to corrupt one of them, the others will save the corrupt one" QueenPeacemon told him. "Then they will seek the pieces of the weapon and destroy your armies as they become more powerful. Finally, they'll use their combined power and the weapon to destroy you, once again bringing peace to the Digital World,"
Tyrantmon growled and begin to withdraw his sword when the voice of another Digimon stopped him.
"The enemy forces have been completely annihilated my lord," the smooth voice said.
Tyrantmon and the others turned to see a Digimon dressed like some kind of vampire lord kneeling on the ground his head bowed.
"Myotismon, that is good news," Tyrantmon said, addressing the newcomer. "And your sure there no survivors?"
"Yes, my liege, those that hadn't already escaped have been deleted or have surrendered," Myotismon answered.
"Excellent, imprison the generals and those that may hold key information in the Shadow Server, execute the rest," Tyrantmon told him.
"Of course, my lord, and what about those that had escaped?" Myotismon asked.
"Hunt them down," Tyrantmon ordered.
"It will be done," Myotismon said, with a sinister smile.
The vampire Digimon then got up gave a small bow to Tyrantmon, and left to relay Tyrantmon's latest orders.
Tyrantmon rubbed his chin in thought.
"Team Shadow has been very useful to me; perhaps I should have them hunt down the weapon pieces" Tyrantmon said aloud to himself. "They have yet to disappoint me and I'm sure they'd be able to get the job done,"
Weaselmon crawled over to Tyrantmon and began to beg again.
"Please, Tyrantmon, my master, give me one last chance. I won't fail you this time I promise," The weasel begged.
Tyrantmon thought it over and decided to take pity on the fool.
"Very well, Weaselmon, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Find all five pieces of the weapon and be rewarded, fail and I'll feed to you Mega Arukadhimon," Tyrantmon told him.
"Yes of course master thank you," Weaselmon said, kissing Tyrantmon's boot.
Weaselmon then got up and hurried out of the castle. Tyrantmon then returned his attention on QueenPeacemon. He knew that he should kill her now, but her death might cause even more trouble than if she was alive, plus she probably has a lot of important information that could be forced out of her and used against anyone that tried to free her. Tyrantmon smirked and grabbed QueenPeacemon by the wrists and dragged her out of the castle into the courtyard.
The courtyard along, with several of the walls of the castle, were completely destroyed. Tyrantmon's forces walked among the wreckage looking for any survivors and anything that might be valuable. As QueenPeacemon was dragged by Tyrantmon she spotted Tactimon still fighting with Dorbickmon.
Tactimon looked heavily damaged, his armor scuffed with burn marks, while his opponent showed that he had taken his fair share of a beating during the battle.
The two stood staring at each other their swords out front at the ready, both were waiting for the other to make the first move. Tyrantmon continued to walk without noticing the standstill of the two top generals.
"We have what we came for, let's pack it up and return to the Tyrant Sever to recover and plan our next step" Tyrantmon shouted to his army. "There is a war coming and I want to be ready for it"
A portal then opened up in front of Tyrantmon, a swirling mass of green data. He then stepped through it, dragging QueenPeacemon along as the rest of his army followed. Dorbickmon lowered his sword and let out a disappointed sigh.
"I guess we'll have to finish this some other time then Tactimon" He told him. "I hope to witness your full power then,"
Dorbickmon then disappeared into the portal and it closed before Tactimon could follow through. Knowing that QueenPeacemon was most likely a prisoner and that he was too weak to attempt a rescue, Tactimon opened a portal of his own and stepped through it.
He arrived in the Cave Server. Here he planned on recovering his strength and putting together an army so that he could lead an attack on the Tyrant Server and rescue QueenPeacemon. Until then, Tactimon, hoped that the chosen Digidestened would be able to hold of Tyrantmon's armies while he created the Resistance that will fight alongside them.
Note: I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to review. Also I thought about attaching links of pictures of the canon to help so how what they look for readers that haven't seen/heard of the canon Digimon before. If that will help let me know. I would attach pics of Tyrantmon and QueenPeacemon but I am bad at drawing so maybe when I improve on that skill I will until then. Stay Tuned for the next exciting chapter!
