Prologue

Hundreds of years ago, the Digital World collided with the Real World when the current Chosen Children finally failed to protect both worlds, even after a century long partnership that humans had had with Digimon.

The end result was known as the Digital Realization.

As the two dimensions twisted unrecognizably for a harsh year that almost killed off many of the human race and Digimon, the two worlds merged.  A new world was formed that combined the Digital World and the Real World, making the new world almost twice as large as the former real one.  However, the destruction that had occurred prior to the merging left many parts from both worlds in ruins.

In the part of the world that had at one point been the United States of America, anarchy ruled for hundreds of years, as it had also done in many other parts of the world.  Slowly a new order began to rise, and the monarchy that formed had an order of hierarchy based upon the partner Digimon that almost all humans had.  Vaccine angels were the most valued types of Digimon, and the lowest forms were the Virus devils.  Because of this, the kingdom was known as the Angels' Domain.

If a person did not have a Digimon partner, the laws ensured that the human without a partner would be killed at the age of five.  The wait gave the child a chance, albeit a small one, to find a Digimon to become partners with.  This was useful for the reason that Digimon without human partners wandered the world, and, though generally they were not as intelligent as partnered Digimon, they could occasionally cause trouble for the many kingdoms of the world.

At five, another event occurred that determined a child's rank in the world.  The child's DNA and the Digimon's data were analyzed and tested to determine what the Digimon would most likely Digivolve into.  There seemed to be a decreasing difference between DNA and data.  If a child did not have an angel Digimon, but it was found that their Digimon would turn into an angel, they were still sent to the capital of the Angels' Domain to be trained as nobles.  On the other hand, people with demon Digimon were turned into servants or outcasts, and occasionally both the partner and the Digimon were killed.

Over hundreds of years, the Angels' Domain had grown to cover the area that had been the continental United States and Alaska.  The Mississippi River had acquired a soft, mysterious glow when the Realization had occurred.  It was now called the River of Light, and along its banks was the city called Sanctus.

Sanctus was built on top of the remains of a city called St. Louis.  It was now a large city, built mostly in white stone that covered both banks of the Light River for miles around.  The only thing left of the ancient city was its huge arch, and this had, during the Digital Realization, become completely made out of Chrome Digizoid.  It was now called Heaven's Gate, and to its left rested the Imperial Palace.  The palace was very tall and constructed purely from white marble and Chrome Digizoid.  It covered more than three square miles of land if you included the gardens that surrounded it.  An impressive white wall separated it from the rest of the city.

To the right was the military's center of control for the entirety of the Angels' Domain.  It was a building that ranged from two to ten stories tall, also made of white marble and Chrome Digizoid.  It took up an area of almost five square miles because of what it encompassed.  On the outside was a wall that was even thicker than the one of the Imperial Palace.  Inside of that were many outdoor training areas.  Inside the square made by the training areas rested the command center itself, which also contained countless indoor training areas, as well as administrative offices.

Here the special guards of the royal palace were trained.  And here in a training arena lying near the northeast corner of the center was a young Imperial Knight-in-training and his partner Digimon, Tapirmon.
