The Digital Knights

Chapter1: Rise of the Knights

Digital World, Southern Quadrant, Unknown DataStream

It had been a week since the Parasimon incident and everyone was in shock at what had happened in the attack. Takato Matsuki, the creator and partner of the Digital Hazard dragon 'Guilmon' had perished along with his partner when they bio-merged and single handily took out the entire Parasimon army. He had fired his 'Crimson Light' attack straight into the heart of digital zone that the Parasimon had created resulting in a city wide extermination of all newly formed digital entities. CrimsonGallantmon didn't make it out of the zone before it collapsed and was presumably crushed by gravitational forces. For the Tamers, they had taken awhile but finally accepted that their friend and leader was dead along with his partner. His parents took even longer to accept it and once they did they left the city. It would be several years before anyone learned the truth of that day.

"Huh…ah….where am I?" he asked from inside his data sphere.

"I think we're in the green place like the first time we went to the digital world" Guilmon said his normal childish voice. Looking around they saw that there were patterns of green data floating like they were and they also so that they were still in their Bio-merged mode changed form.

"Well this could be a problem" the Tamer muttered and then asked "which way is down?"

"I think it's in front of us" no' sooner than Guilmon saying that did they start to fall forwards. The Knight fell through green digitalization layer and passed through the coding layer a few seconds layer. Once he was through he saw the rapidly approaching ground and tried to slow his decent with his wings. Of course it didn't help much considering he was still beat up after the whole pulled into a collapsing mini black hole earlier. He crashed into the desert layer of the southern quadrant or more commonly known as 'Great Bird's Quadrant.

"Well that was a pain" the Knight said in his duel voice as he reverted back to his standard mode.

"Over here! I think this is area the light crashed" a squeaky voice said from over the ridge of the crater he had made.

'I hope these lot are friendly, I'm in no shape to fight' the knight thought as he stood up and slowly climbed out of the crater. Upon exiting the crater he heard a collection of gasps and looked up to where they originated. In front of him was a collection of Floramon and a single Weregarurumon all staring at him. He rose to his feet and retracted his lance and shield so he looked less threatening.

The Weregarurumon stepped in front of the Floramon and assumed a defensive stance while it asked "who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Well I just dropped from the large ball in the sky" the Knight said as he pointed up at the sphere that hung in the sky with data-streams shooting out from it "and I need to talk to the Sovereign; where's his palace?"

"Why should I tell you? If you're planning to arm our great sovereign then you will have to face me first" the wolf-man digimon said with a hint of anger to which he got nothing but a laugh from the Knight before him.

"No offence but I'm a mega and a virus type not to mention a white knight. I may be injured but I think I could take a single Ultimate level digimon" the Gallantmon said as he began walking off in the first direction he picked "if you don't want to tell me where Zhuqiaomon's palace is then I'll just find it another way".

"Halt!" the Ultimate level digimon shouted "I will not let a mega level virus like you run free across these lands!"

'Why me?' Takato thought as his arms turned into his lance and shield. He turned around fast and just avoided his adversaries' 'Wolf claw' attack. Jumping away, the Knight noticed that the Floramon were keeping their distance.

"Wolf Claw!" Gallantmon raised his shield and defended against the attack while charging energy. Just as the attack hit the shield, Gallantmon released the energy scoring a hit a pointblank range against the wolf-man digimon.

"Shield of the Just" the Knight shouted as the blast shot out from his shield. With a thunderous explosion the Weregarurumon was down barely conscious.

"I have been beaten, finish the job like you virus's do" the wolf-man said as Gallantmon stood over him.

"You think that Virus's are evil and Vaccines are good? Don't make me laugh, those who think that are not worth anything" the Knight said as he turned away while retracted his lance and shield. "You're clearly their protector" he said as pointed towards the collection of Floramon "and I don't kill those that protect others without a good reason". With that said the Knight turned towards an on coming data-stream and jumped into it, disappearing a few seconds later.

Real World, Eastern Quadrant / Odaiba, Motomiya Apartment

A month had passed since the battle with Armageddemon and things had been going well for everyone…well not everyone. Davis Motomiya lay back on his bed with his partner and stared up at the ceiling. A single tear travelled down the edge of his face and he didn't blink once. He couldn't, he kept on replaying the day's events over and over in his mind and kept on being brought back to one single moment in the day.

(Flashback)

The Goggleheaded leader of the second generation Digi-destined ran through the crowd towards the river where he and his friends always met after school. What Davis saw upon his arrival was nothing short of heartbreaking. His friends were there alright, but it's what they were doing that made him feel like he had been torn apart. Cody, Ken and the digimon were staring in shock at both TK and Kari who were at that very moment kissing each other. Ken looked up at the hill he stood on but didn't say anything because the Goggleheaded leader was already gone. He ran away from the scene, he ran and ran until his legs gave out and he collapsed on the grass of some field.

(End)

He returned to his family apartment a few hours later and immediately went to his room which brings us to his present situation. 'I can't believe this' the Digi-destined of Miracles thought as he wiped away the tears from his eyes and sat up 'was I just kidding myself by thinking I had a shot with her?'

He had no answer to that question and so he stood and proceeded into the living room and then into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and grabbed two of the many drinks that resided in it. After that he went back to his room and sat down on his bed. He handed one of the cans to his partner who had barely said a word since he got home.

"Here's too the future and everything painful it might bring" Davis said with a grim smile as he opened his own can and held it up in the air.

"Here here" Veemon cheered as he softly smashed his can against the one Davis held. Both human and digimon downed their drinks in one go and hen threw the cans into the in the corner of the room.

"Ahem" a grunt was heard from the doorway which both Digi-destined and digimon looked to see who it was "I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"

"Tai?" Davis said a bit surprised at Kari's brother coming to see him "what are you doing here?"

"Well I heard what happened" the Digi-destined of courage said with a half-smile "pack your things, we're leaving, now".

"What?" Davis asked.

"I've got a job to do and I need a combat partner. You're it until I find someone better now hurry up and pack your things" Tai explained simply.

The Digi-destined of Miracles thought about it for a moment before he started packing 'might as well go, what have I got to lose?' Tai stepped in front of the computer that Davis had in the room and pointed a D-arc at it. "What kind of Digivice is that?" the Miracle destined asked as he slung a bag over his back "and where are we going?"

"Follow me and find out, Digi-port open!" in a flash of light the Courage destined was gone.

"You are not leaving us here" Davis declared as he and Veemon disappeared in a blinding light "Digi-port open".

Digital World, Southern Quadrant, Zhuqiaomon's Palace

"Do we have a death wish?" Guilmon asked as the Hazard Knight walked through the front doors of the southern sovereign's palace.

"It's the only way home boy" Takato said matter-of-factly as the Knight walked down the rather large corridor.

"Human Child why have you come?! I offer no thanks for your efforts during the D-reaper conflict!" Zhuqiaomon's voice boomed through the entire palace and sent chills through the Knight's two entities. The Hazard Knight arrived at the throne room where Zhuqiaomon resided with eleven of his Devas "speak now hybrid!"

"I was pulled into this world during a battle against an army of Parasimon which I assume was also defeated" the Knight said rather calmly to the large red bird in front of him "and I'm asking for your help in getting back".

There was a few moments of silence and then a rather loud laugh started originating from Zhuqiaomon "boy what makes you think I would ever help a human like you".

"Our world is not a threat to you, if anything we're allies and if you won't help me then just point me in the direction of Azulongmon and I'll take care of myself" the Hazard Tamer said with anger in his voice.

"You dare talk that way to a sovereign?! Devas! Destroy this abomination!" Zhuqiaomon ordered and his minions obeyed without question.

'This is bad' Takato thought as he dodged the snake Deva's attacks and aimed his lance at the monkey Deva. "Lightning Joust!" he called out as he launched his attack which hit the monkey digimon and deleted him on contact.

"Armored Tiger Tail!"

"Kurishuna!"

"Positron Pulse!"

"Treasure Bow!"

"Deva Blade!"

"Horn of Desolation!"

"Treasure Pestle!"

"Boar Bog!"

"Fire Breath!"

"Treasure Mallet!"

Even though he was a mega level he was still outnumbered ten to one by the Ultimate level Devas so even he couldn't take that many attacks all at once. Seeing no way to dodge, he raised his shield and ducked behind it to avoid the attacks. When the attacks hit he braised himself and let the shield take them.

Just when he thought the attacks had stopped he heard a single deafening voice cry out "Phoenix Fire!" A second later the shield Gallantmon held was hit with a tremendously large heat blast and slowly started to melt.

"We're losing Takatomon! What do we do?!" Guilmon asked his Tamer as they held their ground.

"We are not going to lose this!" the knight called out as his armour began to change colour into a blue and grey "Gallantmon mode change to Chaos mode: ChaosGallantmon!"

"What is this?" Chatsuramon said in surprise as the black knight began to charge up energy in his new blue and grey shield.

"Judecca Prison!" the knight exclaimed as a large blast of energy was released from the shield. It was easily three times a larger blast radius then normal Gallantmon's shield attack and it quickly overpowered the Sovereign's own attack. With a thunderous explosion both Zhuqiaomon and ChaosGallantmon we're down on the floor of the room. Slowly they both rose from the ground and Zhuqiaomon gave off a long and loud laugh.

"You surprise me Hybrid, I hate you're kind with every fibber of my being but considering you have shown such courage by not only facing against my recently resurrected Devas and myself. I will tell you where Azulongmon resides" the Exalted Bird laughed again "he is in the quadrant east of here, be wary because each quadrant is connected to a different human world and as such it would be a bad idea to mess with other worlds".

"You mean like you've been doing" the black knight accused with a glare.

"Silence boy! I am doing you a favor; if you want to return to you're world then go see Azulongmon!" Zhuqiaomon growled as the knight turned to leave.

"See ya later Zhuqs!" the knight shouted as he waved back.

"Someday I will kill that human" the exalted bird digimon growled as he stared after the Bio-merged digimon.

"This is going to be a long day" ChaosGallantmon thought as he examined his new evolution form "can't say I'm not happy with the results though".

Digital World, Eastern Quadrant, mountain region

"Tai we've been walking for hours, can we take a break already?!" Davis whined as he placed his bag on the ground. Both Veemon and Agumon also looked a bit tired when the Digi-destined of courage looked at them.

Tai let out a sigh and said "fine we can rest here for a bit but it's not that far till our destination".

"Which is what exactly?" the second generation Gogglehead asked and downed a bottle of water.

"Azulongmon's palace" Tai stated as he sat down against the cliff wall.

"Azulongmon has a palace?" Davis asked and got a nod as a reply "so why are we going there?"

"To get you a Digivice like this one" Tai said and held out his D-arc "and get you the ability to Bio-merge".

"What's this 'Bio-merge' thing you're talking about?" Davis asked.

"Its simple really, those with very strong bonds can merge with their digimon partners to become a far more powerful digimon" the Digi-destined of courage said which caused Davis look at him disbelievingly "it requires a rather advanced Digivice though such as the one I have in my hand".

"Wait, are you telling me that it's possible to merge with a digimon to become one yourself?" to this question he got a nod "okay that is so cool, can we get moving again?"

Tai looked at their partners and saw that they were both up and readying to go "okay let's keep moving". After another few hours the group of human's and digimon were walking across a wide open field when they all stopped and looked around.

"This doesn't feel right" Davis muttered as the wind started to pick up around them.

"Hello boys, nice day isn't it?" a seductive voice said from no' where as the wind died down.

"This could be a problem" Tai muttered as a shadow appeared on the ground a little bit away.

"That's not a very nice thing to say" the voice said again as a figure rose from the shadow.

The courage destined held out his D-arc and scanned the figure in front of him. A hologram appeared over the Digivice and he read it out loud "Lilithmon, she's a mega level virus type Demon Lord Digimon. She's one of the Seven Great Demon Lords and is the only female member. It is also noted that she represents the sin 'lust' and she's known as the Goddess of Darkness. Attacks are Phantom Pain, Nazar Nail and Darkness Love".

"I have got to get me one of those" Davis muttered right before he pulled his eyes off of the Digivice and looked at the lord in front of them "this isn't going to be easy".

"You can't go mega by yourself yet so we'll handle this ourselves" Tai said before turning to his partner "Bio-merge activate".

Bio-merge Digivolution

"Agumon Bio-merge too Omnimon" the fused knight declared and locked eyes with the demon lord in front of him.

"My, my, aren't you a good looking mon?" Lilithmon asked with a smirk on her face and then attacked "Nazar Nail!"

"Transcendent Sword" the fused knight digimon charged towards his confrontation with the demon lord digimon. Twenty minutes into the battle, Azulongmon approached and hovered above Davis and Veemon.

Both Digi-destined and digimon looked up to the Great dragon digimon as he spoke to them "you're hurting because you cannot get you're partner to mega so you can't help in this fight? Am I right?" To this the Miracle destined looked down at the ground before his eyes returned to the battle in front of him. "If you're bond with you're partner is strong enough then you should be able to Bio-merge with the help of this tool" Azulongmon stated as he dropped another D-arc into the Digi-destined's hand "good luck".

Bio-merge Digivolution

"Veemon Bio-merge too Magnamon" the armoured digimon declared as he hovered beside Azulongmon.

"What?!" Lilithmon shouted in surprise as she noticed the golden armoured knight.

Omnimon aimed his right arm-cannon at her and charged it "Supreme Cannon!" The energy was released from the cannon and shot towards the demon lord. Lilithmon dodged by an inch of the beam and prepared her own attack.

"Phantom Pain!" the female demon lord called out as she sprayed a mist of darkness at the fused knight.

"Transcendent sword" Omnimon shouted as he tried to slash at the mist that covered him.

"Magna missiles" Magnamon exclaimed as he launched twenty golden missiles from his shoulders and arms.

Lilithmon grunted as the missiles impacted "that wasn't very nice".

"It wasn't meant to be" Magnamon stated as Lilithmon noticed that she was currently facing off against two knights and a Sovereign.

"Well I guess I should take my leave, until next time pretty boy" with that the demon lord vanished is a cloud of darkness.

"Okaaay….well that was different" Davis said from his data-sphere "so this is the Bio-merging thing you told me about? It's not as bad as I thought it would be".
