Prologue: Friend Vs Friend, the History of the Digital World
There are two worlds, neither knowing the other's existence, the Real World, which is inhabited by humans, and the Digital World, which is inhabited by Digital Monsters or "Digimon" for short. Long ago, the Ten Ancient Digimon defeated the Super Demon Lord, Ogudomon. They were exhausted by the battle unable to continue living.
They were later reborn as the Ten Legendary Warriors to counter a new threat. Ogudomon's spirit separated into seven pieces and he was reborn as the Seven Demon Lords. When the Demon Lord of Gluttony, Beezlemon, was defeated, he reformed as a protector of the Digital World.
Once the Ultimate Legendary Warrior, Susanoomon, defeated the last Demon Lord everything went back to normal for centuries. Susanoomon separated into the Ten Legendary Warriors. Those warriors' spirits have been passed down in the souls of ten Digimon from generation to generation.
Beezlemon got turned into a Digiegg and sealed himself away. In place of the Legendary Warriors, the Royal Knights eventually rose up to protect the Digital world from future threats. Little did they know, a Digimon whose ancestor was the Legendary Warrior of Darkness, Löwemon, would one day fall victim the Sin of Wrath and become Löwemon's corrupt counterpart, Duskmon.
Alphamon, one of the Royal Knights, saw the powerful threat and confronted it. He knew that if Duskmon wasn't stopped, everyone would be in danger. We will now go back in time to when this battle took place. "Michael, listen to reason!" Alphamon pled, not willing to give up on his childhood friend, as he parried Duskmon's Blut Evolution sword with his holy sword, Gradalpha.
Michael the Duskmon was too far-gone. "Michael died with his brother, I'm Raphael!" Duskmon shouted as he attacked with, not one, but both Blut Evolution swords. Alphamon was knocked back by the attack. "So Mikey really is gone…"Alphamon said.
"Then have it your way! Digitize of Soul!" he shouted as he shot a beam of green energy from his free hand. Raph, however, was ready. "Deadly Gaze!" Raph shouted as he shot red lasers from the eyes on his armor. The attacks barely canceled each other out. "Ghost Move…" Raph murmured.
He disappeared and reappeared behind Alphamon. The moment he reappeared, Alphamon stabbed Raphael in the stomach with Gradalpha. Alphamon held Gradalpha there and moved his free hand over Raph's face. "This is the end… Digitize of Soul!" he shouted as he shot a beam of green energy from his free hand, obliterating Raph's head and sending blood and data everywhere.
A ring of code appeared around Raph's body and Alphamon scanned it, but not without showing any sign of remorse. "Goodbye… old friend…" he said glumly. He could've sworn he saw a smiling Black Agumon as the body disintegrated. In place of a Digiegg with normal Digimon was an odd gray and black device.
As any Digiegg would do, it shot into the sky. But it wasn't heading to anywhere in the Digital World, it was heading to the real world. Alphamon had no idea and was already returning to Asuka Palace. He needed time alone, but he needed to report back to the palace first.
He was unaware that a Knightmon that wasn't one of the palace Knightmon was watching the battle from elsewhere. "So Galahad couldn't get his friend back after all. That incident was a shame," he said as he watched Alphamon walk away through his shield.
But his shield was not an ordinary Knightmon shield, but a silver shield with the steel elemental crest. "Now that Michael is dead, there are only four of us left," he added.
