All Dogs go to Heaven:

Strike of the Elemental Knights

The Beginning of a New Threat

By: Darkraptor20 and Ninetalesuk

Fox Manor

After the whole fiasco with the book, Imaginaria, Eevee had a rough time sleeping, but found comfort as he laid his head next to his mother's side. As the morning sun rose through the windows, Eevee slightly opened his eyes as he greeted the new day. As he stretched, his foot felt something hard by him. Looking back, he sees the last thing he wanted to see…

"AH!!" shouted Eevee, waking his parents with a fright.

"What!?" shouted Kristen and Vec, tossing around the sheets.

"BOOK!!" yelled Eevee, hiding behind Kristen.

"I thought you gave it to Ninetales?" said Kristen, calming her son down.

"I did! I did!" Eevee shivered with fear, knowing what the book made him do to end the adventure.

"There there," said Kristen, passing her paw down Eevee to relax him.

"And you and daddy and everyone else was under hypnosis... only thought of me as Jack!"

"Who knew you end up as Jack Sparrow?" said Vec.

Eevee sighed, "That was one experience I don't want to go through again".

"So, what are we going to do with this?" said Vec, holding the book up.

"This place has a safe," suggested Kristen.

"Didn't Ninetales put it in the safe last night, didn't he?"

"There's a safe in every room".

"Why?"

"I don't know... we just moved into this place!"

"True". Vec puts the book into the safe and made sure it was locked up tight, "Okay, let's have some breakfast".

Eevee hopped upon Kristen's head, "Yay!"

Dining room

The whole mansion slept as the parents and son went into the dining room, ready to start the day.

"Eevee, you sit down while your father and I get you something to eat, okay?" said Kristen as she approached the long table in the middle.

"Okay," said Eevee as he sat down.

"On a seat, not on your mother's head," said Vec as Eevee laughed and jumped onto a seat. As his parents entered the kitchen, Eevee places his paws on the mat, he felt something under it.

"Huh?" said Eevee as he looks under the mat and pulls out the book. Eevee shook as he held the book in his paws. "AHHH!!"

"Eevee!" shouted Vec as he and Kristen rushed into the room, "What is it?!"

Eevee holds the book up to them, "Mum! Dad! It's back!"

Vec and Kristen looked shocked as they saw the book. Kristen looked at Vec, " I thought you locked it up?"

"I did! I did!" said Vec.

Eevee dropped the book and ran to Kristen, "Mommy!"

Kristen crashed to the ground as Eevee tackled her, "Whoa! You certainly got some strength when you're scared".

Vec picked up the book, "This is strange".

"Eevee…" rang an eerie voice.

"GAH!" Vec drops the book as he looks at his mate, "Kris, don't do that! You can't be always spooky all the time!"

"That wasn't me…" said Kristen as the same voice echoed again.

"Eevee…" Eevee, looking from behind his mother, perked an ear up as he recognized the voice.

"That's... Gardevior!" stated Eevee.

The book jerks open as a ghostly Gardevoir materialized out of it.

"YA!!" shouted Vec as he jumped behind Kristen as well.

"So, you're the one who gave my son this... book?" questioned Kristen.

Gardevoir nodded. "Yes. Forgive me, but it was never to frighten or hurt him. You see…" she glances at Eevee, still hiding behind Kristen, "Your son, reminds me a lot of my old trainer and friend".

Eevee pops his head around Kristen, "Explain".

"Oh, you do remind me so much of him," giggled Gardevoir, He felt the same way the first time he activated this book".

"What was his imagination like?" asked Kristen.

"Huge... like Eevee's".

"And what was his first adventure in the book like?"

Gardevoir frowned a little, "Depressed. You see, he and his friend entered the book and... he ended up killing him, but when he returned to the real world, his friend was alright, for you see, only the characters get killed, never the person playing as it".

"Just like... what happened to Eevee. What was his first adventure called?"

"He wrote it and named it after himself: Evan".

"Evan?" said Eevee, "You could have warn me about this! I scared everyone when Ninetales fell dead!"

"Can't believe I spoke pirate talk!" said Kristen, " Snowflake was splashing water over her head because of what she wore!" She and Vec laughed at it.

"Yes, the book does that," said Gardevoir, "Eevee, you sound just like him that day after his adventure".

"Did he… still wanted to be your friend?"

"Yes, but after a while. Evan became afraid of the book, so he wanted us to destroy it" Gardevoir's face turns depressed, "I never wanted him to feel like that, so I almost got the book destroyed".

"Almost...?" said Vec.

"Well, on the verge of destruction, Evan stopped us. His friend actually enjoyed it, even if his character was a villain".

"Whatever happened to Evan?" asked Kristen.

Gardevoir cried a little, "We lost him... during the great Quake".

"Like you and your siblings?"

"We risked our lives to find him. During our search, we found him and…" she sniffed, "We were too late... then, the aftershock trapped us inside. We knew that we were all doomed, so we sealed our spirits inside this book, along with memories of Evan…" She continues to cry.

Eevee stared at the book, then turned towards Gardevoir, "You were in that book?! Including the other three!?"

Gardevoir nodded, "Yes. Our spirits helped keep this book alive, but it wasn't enough. For years we stayed in it, reminiscing on the past with Evan until, I sensed his presence!"

"Jolteon?" asked Eevee as Kristen and Vec fall.

"We thought it couldn't be possible, so we gathered our strength to materialize as beings once again. Then, I saw you".

"So, that room was a…"

"Yes, an illusion of the old library. I don't know why, but you were destined to keep this book".

"Great," Eevee picked up the book, then he paused for a moment, "Why didn't you tell us about the Elemental Knights?"

"It isn't something you should know about! After all, you're young and shouldn't worry about the Ninetales Prophecy of Legend…"

"We do!" interrupted Kristen, "By any chance the chosen Ninetales has white fur with blue tipped tails!?"

Gardevoir nodded.

"That's our Ninetales!" shouted Eevee.

"It does deal with a white Ninetales as being the 'Master Key to the Emerald-'," began Gardevoir before putting her hand over her mouth.

"Master Emerald? You mean the huge green jewel guarded by Knuckles the Echidna on Angel Island, said to be the controller of the seven Chaos Emeralds!"

"No, not Master Emerald, Master Key to the Emerald of Destruction, the eighth Chaos Emerald!"

"There are EIGHT Chaos Emeralds?! Please tell us! According to Ninetales, his parents was killed by a poacher who had the same symbol of the Elemental Knights!"

Gardevoir sighed, "I only remember so much. I need the other book, the one I took away from your blue friend".

"Excuse me, then," said Vec as he zips out of the room.

"Do you think the library is open?" said Eevee.

"He'll find out if he crashes his head into the main doors," joked Kristen.

Library

Noctowl was busy putting away books when the Librarian opened the doors and a tall, brown cloaked figure entered.

"May I help you?" she asked the stranger.

"I'm looking for a special book, can you help me?" said the figure in a low, ruff voice.

"What kind of book?"

"It has no title, except this…" he shows her his gauntlet with the same insignia of a Pokeball and two swords crossing it, "is on the cover!"

Noctowl's eyes widened as he flew off between the shelves, thinking, Is he a... Elemental Knight?!

"I really need to see that book, now!"

"I'm sorry," said the Librarian, backing away from the man, "I fear that it's been lost since the Quake a long time ago".

Noctowl returned as he roosted nearby, Not unless I hid it somewhere so no one can get it...

"No worries…" chuckled the mysterious man as he snapped his fingers. A rumble later, a trio of Digletts and a Dugtrio appeared out of the ground, all wearing ascots with the same insignia, "I think I can unearth it".

Just then, Vec entered the Library and blinked at what he was seeing, "What in the...?"

"Erm…" shook the Librarian as she quickly backed up towards the wall, " I think it'll be destroyed by now".

The figure growled as he pulled out a giant hammer, "You're lying! It's here, somewhere!"

Vec gasped as he unleashed a Shadow Ball, knocking the hammer out, "Umbre!!"

"My trainer!" shouted Noctowl as the Figure turned from the Librarian to Vec.

"Stay out of this! I only want…"

"MASTER!" shouted a Furret, also having the same ascot, came running towards him, the book in its mouth, "I found it!"

"No!" shouted the Noctowl, "How did he find it?!"

Before anyone knew it, Vec acted quickly as he used Quick Attack to grab the book from the Furret in his mouth, "You're not having that!" He then runs out of the library.

"MASTER!!" shouted Furret as he was about to give chase, but the figure lifted his hand up, stopping him.

"Not to worry," he said as he turns to the scared Librarian, "I got punishments to give out!"

"S...Stay back!!" shouted the Librarian as the figure grabbed his hammer.

"Leave her alone!!" shouted Noctowl as he flew down, used Flash, and disappeared with her.

"Don't mock me!" he shouted as he snaps his fingers and Digletts and Dugtrio disappeared, "I'll have you all buried alive!"

As Noctowl carried his trainer away, the whole building shook as it crumbled into rubble. Within the dust, the figure slowly moved away, the Pokemon following him.

Meanwhile...

"Got to get home!" said Vec as he continued to run away from the strange person. Suddenly, a giant gust of wind blows, making Vec duck from the sudden impact. Getting up, he sees a green cloaked figure wielding a giant sword.

"I'll take that!" shouted the green figure as he held out his gloved hands. Vec tried to escape by running off, but the figure laughed. "Run as fast as you can, but…" he disappears and appears in front of Vec, knocking him down, "I'm faster. Now, hand me the book unless you want to die" He pointed the sword towards Vec's neck.

Vec began walking backwards, scared, when suddenly, a giant portal appears near them, giving off colors.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" shouted the figure as a purple animal with a white tipped tail and a red stone on it's forehead flew out of the portal and crashed into the green warrior, knocking him down, "WHOA!!"

"What the heck?" said Vec, confused on what was going on.

"And just who are you!?" said the figure at the unknown animal. The animal smiled at him.

"The name is Dorumon. I'm a Digimon," replied the animal.

"Thank you and goodbye!" yelled Vec as he grabbed Dorumon and ran off, leaving the figure behind.

"Digimon!" yelled the figure as he swung his sword onto the ground, "GRAHHH! Curse them!"

"MASTER!" shouted a voice. The figure looked up as a giant bird flew down to meet him, a gem shining in each of its talons.

"Excellent! Did you have trouble with Eggman?"

Pidgeot shook his head, "He didn't notice I took 'em. He was dealing with a rouge robot of his called E-123 Omega".

"Whatever. Now, only two left. One that blasted two-tailed freak of a fox kid has one and the other… is in the dog heavens", He hops onto Pidgeot, "Let's go!" The figure and Pidgeot soar over the tall buildings, the Chaos Emeralds shining in the sun.

Fox Manor

Everyone was waking up from sleep and entering the dining room, where Ninetales was talking with the ghostly Gardevoir.

"So, you're the one who gave Eevee the book?" asked Ninetales.

Gardevoir nodded slowly, "Yes. I'm sorry for it causing you any trouble".

Ninetales sighed, "I'm just glad it's over"

"Not just yet," said Kristen, "I think we can translate the book…" Just then, the doors swung open and in entered Vec, Dorumon right behind. "VEC! What happened to you?! And who's your friend?"

"First," panted Vec, "The library was attacked by someone from the Elemental Knights! And they were after this book!"

"What?!"

"Yeah, then I got attacked again by another one, one with a giant sword!"

"How were you saved?!"

Vec pushes Dorumon forward, "This is where this little guy came crashing into him through a portal".

"Who are you.?" asked Ninetales to the purple Digimon.

"The name is Dorumon, I'm a Rookie Digimon," said Dorumon, "The green guy is known as Vendavel of the Wind".

Suddenly, Dorumon was being hugged by Kristen, "Thank you for saving him... thank you! Thank you!"

"You're... welcome…" choked Dorumon.

"Okay, what do you know about him?" asked Ninetales.

"Not much, except they're enemies to a Digimon group I lead".

"What Digimon group?"

"The Royal Knights! 13 powerful Digimon, including myself, that protects the Digital World under orders by the three Empyrean Dragons, chosen guardians of Granasmon!"

Jolteon, Flareon, Charlie, Vaporeon, and Charleon began laughing.

"What's so funny? It's all true!"

"You hardly look 'leader'-ish! HAHAHAHA!!" laughed Charlie.

"Oh yeah?" growled Dorumon.

"Excuse me…" said Sasha as Gerta bonks Charlie's head with a mallet.

"The Royal Knights," said Gardevoir, "You have faced off against the Elemental Knights?"

"Yes," said Dorumon, looking down, "And sadly, three of 'em lost their lives. There are now ten of us left".

"That's a good thing," complimented Flareon.

"Why is that a good thing?"

"Thirteen is an unlucky number".

"Perhaps, but the Elemental Knights are no laughing matter," said Gardecvoir, "The book".

"Take it…" said Vec, panting as he handed over the book, " I need to rest".

"Umm… ghost," said Gardevoir. Vec crashes to the floor as Leafeon takes the book, opening it and holding it in front of Gardevoir. "Oh dear, the book is in blood. No matter, just place it on top of my book".

As Leafeon places the book on top of Gardevoir's, it begins to glow as it swallows them in light.

Unknown Location

"Where are we?" asked Eevee as he looked around his surroundings. There were high mountains nearby, a desert down below, and the ocean roaring next to them by the cliffs.

"In the past," said Gardevoir, "Around the early thirteenth century to be exact".

"We Digimon didn't exist back then!" said Dorumon, looking at the ancient world.

"Of course not," said Ninetales, "It's because computers didn't exist in the 1200's".

"You mean... NO VIDEO GAMES?!" muttered Eevee, his eyes growing wide.

"THE HORROR!!" shouted Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon.

"Um... may I continue?" asked Gardevoir.

"Yes, you may," sighed Ninetales as he glanced at Kristen, "I'm glad you'll have to put up with him".

"This is after the Eighth Chaos Emerald, the Rainbow Emerald, was sealed away by the Ninetales of Legend, the Master Emerald, and the Legendary Keys. It is known by the Ninetales Prophecy of Legend, the Rainbow Emerald was more powerful than the other seven combined. It was dangerous for every living being because the wielder gains power by sucking the life and energy of the earth. The first Guardian of the Emeralds threw it into a void where the Ninetales and the Legendary Keys locked it away".

"And these Elemental Knights wants to unlock it?" asked Shaina.

"Exactly... their leader, the Knight of Life, wants to harness the power of the Rainbow Emerald, but to do so, they need all ten keys".

"I... I can't be the key... I was... born a few years ago!!" said Ninetales, panicking.

"The Prophecy proclaimed that a white Ninetales will be born around every 800 years from the death of the previous one".

Suddenly, a white Ninetales, looking exactly like Ninetalesuk, ran past them, followed by three figures in colored cloaks.

"STOP!"

"DON'T RESIST YOUR FATE!"

"YOUR DESTINY IS AT HAND!"

The white Ninetales, injured and scarred from fighting, kept running until he came to the cliffs, where the other Elemental Knights surrounded him. From the four colored cloaks, one, in a golden cloak, stepped up to it and spoke.

"Time's up, fox!" said the figure in a calming voice, "You're the most important Key for us, so hand yourself over quietly and you won't be harmed anymore. Now then, what's it going to be?"

The white Ninetales smiled sadly at them, "I know you're all strong, but if it was between the death of myself or the death of the entire world, then death sounds lovely to me right now". With that, the white Ninetales falls back and off the cliff towards the sea below.

"NO!!" yelled the golden figure as the green figure flew down after the Ninetales, but came back up in flames. "NOOO!! WE WERE CLOSE TO HAVING THE MASTER KEY FIRST!!"

"My deepest apologies, my master," apologized the green figure as he put out flames on his cloak. The gold figure was shaking with rage as he turned towards his servant.

"SORRY!? THAT STUPID FOX!!"

"Master, calm yourself," stated the blue figure, "We just need to wait another 800 years for the next one to be born".

"HA!" snorted the red figure, which sounded feminine, "800 years to wait! What are you thinking about, Hy-"

"ENOUGH!!" shouted the gold figure, "He's right. The white Ninetales thought that death would be the end, he thought wrong. His soul will be reincarnated into a new white Ninetales, and this time, it won't get away! And for anything getting in your way," He picks up a rock and crushes it, "Exterminate them from existence!"

"Yes, Master!" saluted the four Knights.

"Wait!" said the red figure, "What do we do with the Key we already have?"

"We'll catch her again in 800 years," responded their leader, "Just make sure to wipe away her memories about this event, so she can never know what happened!"

"Yes, Master!" saluted the Knights again as they disappeared, leaving the gold Knight alone.

"White Ninetales, no matter how many times you die., I will prevail in the end!"

The whole area turns white as they are thrown back into the mansion.
