Royal Generation

A Knight's Promise

"Is this the end?" A figure in a white armor and red cape asked one that was wearing a black armor.

"There are only four of us left, and chances are none of us would survive tonight" A humanoid figure with a bluef and gold armor said as he looked at the five crystals in front of him.

"So this is it, the end of the Royal Knights." A fourth figure with a humanoid from, white armor, and blue wings said.

"Four of us were already destroyed and their data completely erased. And now with five more sealed like this." The one wearing the black armor said as he placed a hand on the middle crystal. Alphamon stood quite for a while; he couldn't bring himself to look at figure trapped in the glass. "But we can't give up, they wouldn't want us too. We represent the justice in the Digital World, and as long as one of us is still standing, we would continue to fight the forces of evil." The black knight said turning around to meet his three comrades.

"He wouldn't have said it better himself" The one wearing the red cape said as he stepped up to and looked at the center crystal. "Omegamon and the other may be sealed way, but their spirits are still with us." Gallantmon said as he looked away from his best-friend's resting place to look at the there three.

The blue knight stepped up and walked to the crystal at Omegamon's right. "I promise I'll avenge you, my brother, Magnamon" UlforceVeedramon said looking to the humanoid knight wearing a golden armor trapped inside a crystal.

The remaining knight walked to the crystal two places from the center. "Crusadermon, I never got the chance to tell you but…you were my best friend, I'm sorry I couldn't do anything prevent this." Dynasmon said to the sealed knight with pink armor inside the crystal.

Alphamon looked at the two remaining crystal. "Craniummon, Sleipmon your sacrifice won't be in vain." The black knight said before addressing the others. "It is time." Alphamon said simply. The other knights nodded and turned around to head up.

Alphamon started to follow his comrades before the four of them stopped on their tracks and looked back. All of their gazes fixed on the central crystal where the powerful figure of Omegamon stood. The four knights stayed in silence for a long minute as the paid one last tribute to their leader before heading out of the place that had once been the symbol of strength and justice throughout the Digital World.

"This is where we part." Alphamon said once they stepped out of the Temple. "The Demon Lords' armies are advancing from every direction." The other knights nodded in understanding. "But first, let's promise that one day we'll return to this place, even if we have to wait for years, we will return to defeat any evil that threatens the Digital World." Alphamon declared.

The four remaining Royal Knights looked at each other as they said their silent goodbyes. Suddenly a green sword made of light appeared on Alphamon's hand. "One last time, let the forces of darkness fear at the light of the Royal Knights." Alphamon said raising his sword into the air. A white lance appeared on Gallantmon's hand, a blue sword came out from UlfroceVeedramon's wrist, while Dynasmon cracked his knuckles.

The three weapons, and Dynasmon fist, met in the center creating a blinding light, before the four remaining knights set off, each one his own direction, to carry out their mission.

-Years Later, Real World-

14 year-old Shun Kaori watched as raindrops crashed on his window. "Man, how boring is this." Shun said as he stared his reflection, a young man with messy red hair and amber eyes stared back at him. "I wish something would happen, something exciting." Shun said as he looked away from the window and watched his little brother, Taro, sleep in the opposite couch. "Something worth remembering" Shun said before taking the remote control and start looking through the channels for the eleventh time.

Seto Yuki stood in the middle of the field, he didn't care that his black suit was getting wet for the rain, he didn't care about his parents urging him to get under their umbrella; the only thing he care about was what it was in front of him.

Hiroshi Yuki

1987 – 2006

Beloved Son, Caring Brother,

Magnificent Person

Seto had turned 15 a little over a month ago, but to him that was part of another lifetime, the one where Hiro belonged in. "We have to go now Seto-kun." Mrs. Yuki said while trying to be strong for her son.

14 year-old Kira Uzuki sighed as stared at her new room full of boxes that contained her belonging. "I better start unpacking." She whispered to herself. "This is the fourth time in three years that I have to move away." The girl thought. "I hope Otousan keeps his promise about this being the last time." Kira thought as she set her mirror. She had mid-length blond hair and shining sapphire eyes.

The house had never been this empty to him; Seto decided as he looked at the rain through the window in his room, silver locks clouded his crimson color eyes. Seto walked out of his bedroom and started down the hall.

"Where are you going Seto-sama?" One of the maids asked him.

"I'll be sleeping in Hiro's room tonight." The silver haired boy said as he passed by the girl without looking at her.

-5 Days Later-

Ray Kusushi looked at the phone on his desk. "It's been five days since Hiro's funeral. Seto seemed pretty shaken up and I haven't heard a word from since." The boy said as he reached up for the phone, just to stop in mid action. Ray had short blue hair that matched with his eyes that were cover by a pair of thin glasses.

The blue haired boy reached for the phone again, succeeding this time, and dialed his best friend's phone number. "Yuki residence" Came the voice of one of the maids from the phone.

"Is Ray, may I speak with Seto?" Ray asked.

"I'm sorry Ray-kun, but Seto-sama is not accepting any calls right now" The maid apologized. Ray gritted his teeth, he was afraid that this would happen, but he was determined to help his best friend. "May I speak with Mrs. Yuki then?" Ray asked.

"One moment please." The maid said before leaving him.

"Hello Ray-kun" Mrs. Yuki said, Ray was happy that she sounded a lot better than during the funeral.

"Good morning Mrs. Yuki, how are you doing?" The blue haired boy asked.

"Well you know, holding with the situation." She said.

"And Seto?" Ray asked, even though he already the answer.

"He moved to Hiro's room and he barely leaves it." Mrs. Yuki said with a voice full of worry.

"Could you see if he'll speak with me?" Ray asked hopeful.

"I'll see what I can do." Mrs. Yuki said before leaving Ray alone once again.

After a couple of minute of silence Ray started to lose hope, until he heard sound coming from the phone."

"Seto here" The now almost lifeless voice of his best friend reached Ray's ears.

"How are you holding up?" Ray needlessly asked.

"As best as I can" Seto responded.

"Well it seems that you're doing an excellent job." The blue haired boy, his voice full of sarcasm; even though it pained him, the only way for him to help Seto during moments like this was to attack him.

"What do you want?" Seto asked coldly after a moment of silence.

"What I want is for you to stop acting like this is the end of the world, do you think Hiro would have wanted you to be like this?" Ray continued to attack.

The blue haired boy could hear the gritting of his friend's teeth through the phone. "Listen, meet me at the park at 1 o'clock, this way you won't be able to hang up on me." Ray said as he looked at his watch, it was currently 11:30 a.m., "And you better show up." The blue haired teen added before hanging up.

-One hour and a half later-

"Today was a nice day" Shun declared as he walk through the park; he was wearing a pair of long blue pants and a red short sleeved jacket with a black undershirt, he was slightly tired from playing soccer with his friends. "I don't want to go home just now; Taro would probably nag me into held him." Shun said to no one in particular, summer was about to end and the last thing he wanted to do with his last moments of freedom was his little brother's summer school assignments.

"I'll just take the long way home." The red haired boy decided as he to the route through the center of the park instead of the edge. "I mean, what can happen?"

Sigh…after spending three days unpacking and setting everything, and two days been too shy to come out, Kira had decided to take a walk through the park that was near her new house; she was wearing a pair of blue jeans and pink shirt with a white jacket over it. "New city, new people, I hope I'll be able to adapt soon." She said to herself as she continued her way to the center of the park.

Ray leaned against the tree planted right at the center of the park; he was wearing a pair of long gray pants and a green shirt with sleeves that reached his elbows. The blue haired boy was beginning to fear that his friend had decided not to come.

His fears were eliminated when he saw a figure approach. Seto walked towards the tree with his gaze lost ahead of him; he was wearing a pair of long black pants and matching long sleeved jacket with a dark blue undershirt. "I'm here, are you happy now?" Seto asked when he reached the tree; his voice was full of bitterness.

"At least it took you out from the self-built fortress." Ray responded as he adjusted his glasses.

"What do you know about what I'm going through?" Seto shot back as he narrowed his eyes.

"You're forgetting that I'm an only child." Ray began without looking at the silver haired boy next to him, if he really wanted to get to Seto he would need to act as though he wasn't important. "For me, Hiro was a brother figure. You're not the only one that looked up to him, nor the only one affected by what happened, have you though about your parents, they need you now more than ever and you just shut yourself away, Hiro would have been disappointed of you." The blue haired boy said.

Seto stood in silence, his gazed shifted away from his friend to look at the other end of clearing were a blond girl on a white jacket was approaching.

Ray decided to let everything sink in for his friend as a red haired boy entered the clearing from the path he had been staring at.

Shun entered the clearing while humming some random song he had pick up on the way. He could se two guys leaning against the tree in the middle, and a blond girl that seemed kind of lost. "She looks kind of cute." The red haired boy thought. Suddenly a high, loud sound went through the boy's head. Shun put his hand in his ear but the sound didn't seem to weaken; he looked at the two guys and the girl to find that they were hearing the same high-pitch sound.

Suddenly, a blinding light appeared on the clearing. The four teenagers looked up at the light; the four of them gasped at the figure that had appear on the clearing. A knight wearing white armor stood before them, the most particular feature about this figure were it's arms which were crossed in front of it, the leaf arm was orange and instead of hand it had head of a dragon-like creature, the other arm was blue and had the head of a wolf for a hand.

The four kids stood unmoving as the knight's light intensified; the eyes on its head and the ones on its arms started to shine. Shun, Seto, Ray, and Kira lost consciousness in the brightness of the light.

A/N: This story would not be like the 4th Season, Digimon Frontier, this will be like the classic Human-Digimon partnership. I know that Alphamon is the leader of the Royal Knights, but for this fic, I think is better if Omegamon has that position. Also I've decided to go with the 5th Season, Digimon Savers, and eliminated the goggles from the leader, I'm sure you can guess who has that role on this story. Please Review.
