A/N: first off this story is centered around Yamato, but Takure will play a fairly large roll, and Taichi will more then likely be in this a lot. Originally this was going to be a Taito, but due to the fact that there are so many romance fics I decided to leave Yamato and Taichi as just friends. Now don't get me wrong I do like Taito, and I have read some very good romance fics but I just wanted this to be mostly about Matt, with some Matt/TK brotherly moments.
Okay in this fic season two did happen, but things like Sorato and the ending of season two never happened. Again the no Sorato is because of the need to lesson a romantic plot. Also the real world know about Digimon, and they know that the Digidestined exists, but they do not know where Digimon come from or who the Digidestined are.
Oh by the way this chapter is very slow not to mention boring but please bare with me I needed to give you a background on the events that lead up to this fic. Well on with the show.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon.
When the digital world was first formed a balance of power between light and darkness was created. If this balance was ever disturbed then the world itself would be thrown into utter chaos. In order to prevent this from happening the supreme entity known as the Digi-Core created four-mega digimon known as the Digi-Gods. The Digi-Core appointed the four legionary megas as the keepers of balance. Each of the four digimon was given a region of the digi-world to monitor and assure that balance was kept.
Azulongmon, a holy dragon type digimon, was placed in charge of the east and all that transpired there. He was a wise and powerful digimon who was well respected amongst the inhabitants of the digi-world.
Baihumon, a metal empire digimon that resembled a tiger, was the god of the west. He was a brave and adventurous digimon, who sot out a noble fight.
Xuanwumon, was a member of the nature sprite family and had well earned such a position, he appeared to be a giant turtle with large trees growing on his back. Out of all the four digi-gods Xuanwumon was the wisest and the most tranquil, he watched the north and all under his gaze were at peace.
The final digi-god was a large and beautiful phoenix called Zhuqiaomon, the last to be created Zhuqiaomon was given rule over the south. Unlike the rest of the lands, the south was primitive and undeveloped. The inhabitants fought in devastating wars amongst each other. The land was divided and the morals of the digimon had long sense been forgotten.
When Zhuqiaomon saw the land he was to govern and it's inhabitants, he was greatly troubled. With such savagery how could the south ever gain splendor and peace. Zhuqiaomon decided that the south most be destroyed and then rebuilt again. Focusing all his power Zhuqiaomon emitted a great flame with his body which devoured the land and all it's inhabitants.
For courtiers the southern lands remained in ashes, when it was obvious that the south would not regain life Zhuqiaomon went to the Digi-Core and pleaded with it to grant the desalinate land rebirth. The Digi-Core agreed, but only on the condition that the south becomes the land of great warriors and followers of the Digi-Core, should he ever call upon them. Zhuqiaomon agreed, and so it was proclaimed that he would be the messenger between the Digi-Core and the race of warriors. The Digi-Core also decreed that no other race of digimon would be higher. The race of worriers would be creatures of nobility and virtue.
For the first leader of the warrios Zhuqiaomon would select a candidate, and the Digi-Core would test the candidate to see if they were worthy to be in command of such a powerful race. All leaders followed would first have to defeat the previous Lord before Zhuqiaomon would acknowledge them as a candidate.
After all this was decided life began to return to the barren lands of the south. Water was the first signs of life to reappear, streams of cool crystal water began to flow throughout the land forming lakes and restoring plant life. Tall strong trees with great branches and canopies of leaves began to appear, flowers with beautiful petals and alluring scents began to blossom, fields began to sprout out lushes green grass. Soon great stones began to rise up until they formed glorious monition ranges.
While all this was transpiring the center of the south began to shake as huge mountains began to form a large circle; the land in the midst of the mountains became a wondrous valley that was called Forbidden Valley. It was here that the first digieggs of the new south were laid. The digieggs of Forbidden Valley were very similar to the ones in Primary Village, except for a difference in colors and designs. While the digieggs of Primary Village were generally white with light color dots or stripes, the digieggs of Forbidden Valley where dark colors mark with ancient Digi-Codes.
The Digieggs of Forbidden Valley developed slower then those outside of the south. It took many centuries before the first of them began to hatch. Surprisingly the digieggs hatched into normal fresh digimon. Soon Forbidden Valley was completely inhabited by Punimon, Pabumon, Baotmon, and many other fresh digimon. Zhuqiaomon kept watch over these young digimon, tending to their needs just as Electmon would in Primary Village. Under Zaqaiomon's care the fresh digimon soon digivolved into their in-training forms which still remained in the race of the outside world. Still weak and young the digimon continued to depend upon Zhuqiaomon for development. It wasn't until they reached their rookie forms that they were able to survive without Zhuqiaomon. Once all the digimon reached the Rookie State of evolution Zhuqiaomon used his power to transfer the highest peak of the south into a live volcano. After the mountain had completely changed Zhuqiaomon went inside and rested amongst the flames.
After Zhuqiaomon left it was reveled to the other three Digi-Gods, who had been observing the development of the south, that many of the rookie digimon where completely new breads. While many of the rookies, such as Gabumon, Patamon, and Salamon, where recognizable others where unknown to any of the remaining gods. One of the rookies, who resembled a bowling ball with wings, was apparently named DemiDevimon. Another was Tapirmon, who almost resembled an anteater, excepted for the silver headpiece he wore and the fact that the bottom half of his body looked like a black cloud. These where only a few of the strange new breads of digimon that had appeared in Forbidden Valley.
It wasn't until many of the digimon began to digivolve into their champion forms, that the three Digi-Gods began to question what the Digi-Core and Zhuqiaomon were doing. Most of the digimon had long sense left Forbidden Valley and had began to grow into their champion forms. Vile digimon such as Orgremon, Youkomon, and Vilemon began to inhabit the forest. Wizarmon and Sorcerymon began to build huts throughout the land where they could practice their magic in peace. Garurumon found their place in the mountains of northern Forbidden Valley, while BlackGatomon and Kyubimon rested in the open plains of the eastern lands.
Despite the power that these digimon were already displaying it was the Fallen Angel digimon which caused fear amongst the digi-gods. They were such beautiful yet dark creatures, and it was very difficult to observe them sense they seemed to be masters of illusions. The IceDevimon disappeared in the blizzards of the northern lands, while the Devimon crept into the shadows of the many caves and deep forest that the south held. The beautiful and mysterious Gargomon seemed to just vanish in the clouds as if they were being recalled to their place in heaven.
The three great digi-gods were amazed further by the development of the new race of digimon as they began to build societies and govern themselves. They placed the strongest as their leaders and named them generals. The nobility and morality that the digimon displayed had yet to be seen in the outside world, but despite this they still remained without a ruler.
Still centuries pasted and a Lord had not been selected for the race of warriors. Many of the stronger champions had already evolved further into their ultimate forms. BlueMaremon now dominated the stone mountains and small volcanoes, while WereGarurumon roamed the winter lands of northern Forbidden Valley along with their lower forms. In the seas MarineDevimon could be found exploring the waters, and in the arenas LadyDevimon tested their skills against digimon of equal or more strength. Soon rumors were heard of a digimon which grew so powerful he actually digievolved into mega, when these rumors reached Zhuqiaomon he quickly rose form his resting place and went to meet with the Digi-Core.
The Digi-Core confirmed the rumors and then told the great god digimon that this rumored digimon was indeed the one that the balance had selected to be the Lord of the southern digimon. The Digi-Core then commanded Zhuqiaomon to seek out and bring before him the mega. Zhuqiaomon did as he was commanded and returned to the south in search of the fabled digimon.
After a decade of searching Zhuqiaomon meet with the mega and commanded him to go before the Digi-Core. The Digi-Core gave the candidate a series of test, which the candidate passed with ease. After the candidate had completed and passed the judgment, the Digi-Core commanded Zhuqiaomon to present the him as the new leader of the south.
And so it was announce not only to the digimon of the south but to all the digiworld that Piedmon was the Lord of the Nightmare Soldiers.
Now that a leader had at last been selected for the Nightmare Soldier Zhuqiaomon returned to his resting-place where he would remain until the time came for a new Lord to be judged. Soon after this, the Digi-Core created a being named Gennia and placed Azulongmon in command of him. Then the Digi-Core severed all communication he had with the four digi-Gods and left them to watch over their rejoins.
For many decades all lands were at peace. The Nightmare Soldiers prospered under their new Lord and all were content, but soon Piedmon began to grow restless. He was a warrior, a digimon created for battle yet all he did was sit in his castle and command armies to take up some other past time besides fighting. He grew weary of waiting, and the Nightmare Soldier's desired the thrill of combat. So Piedmon took his strongest armies and journey to the western rejoin. The western land was also occupied by digimon of battle. As Piedmon gazed upon the western lands his desire to conquer grew immensely. He ordered his troops to attack the strongest villages. Soon the west was a blazing battle filled.
The three Digi-Gods had hoped that Zhuqiaomon would order Piedmon to stop his attacks upon the west, but when it became obvious that Zhuqiaomon had no intentions on interfering, Azlongmon went to the west and destroyed over half of the Nightmare Soldiers battling. Piedmon was furious that Azlongmon would dare interfere with his attack and destroy his troops mercilessly. Piedmon called back his armies and returned to the south in an attempted to regroup and build a better attack plain, except now their target would not be the western lands, but instead Piedmon would bring the east to their knees.
While preparing his troops for their attack upon the north, three megas from different rejoins appeared before Piedmon and asked if they might join his quest to conqueror. After seeing their strength Piedmon agreed and assigned each of them to a rejoin. Machinedramon, a giant metal reptile digimon built for destruction, was assigned to conquer the west. MetalSeadramon, a water serpent digimon, was given the north, while Puppetmon the youngest and most inexperience of the megas was told to watch over the south in Piedmon's absents. Piedmon then gathered his troops and traveled to the East where he raged battle with the many vaccine and holy digimon there.
As the four Dark Masters grew in strength it became evident to the three Digi-Gods that they did not have the strength to compete with them. Azulongmon ordered Gennia to search for a way to strengthen the digimon of the rebellion against the Dark Masters. During this time a digiegg slipped through the barrier of the digiworld to the real world. Two young children found the digiegg and cared for it, and under their care the digiegg was able to hatch and digivolve at an unnatural rate. To better understand the secretes behind the humans strength Gennia sent another digimon through the gates to battle the first one. During the battle it was proven that the first digimon had much more power, and so Gennia selected eight young children to come to the digiworld in hope that they would have the strength to stand against the Dark Masters.
When Piedmon discovered what was happening he attacked Gennia's headquarters and destroyed it. He then handed that area over to one of his loyalist generals and fellow Nightmare Soldiers Myotismon. Then the war against the Digi-Gods and the Dark Masters took an unexpected turn as the Dark Masters found a way to seal the great megas away. Unfortunately the only way to do this was to seal all four of the Digi-Gods away, and since Zhuqiaomon had not appeared in centuries Piedmon decided to carry out this action. He sealed the four Digi-Gods away, for as long as the balance remained disported.
Now that the four Digi-Gods had been sealed away, Piedmon directed his full attention to conquering the digiworld. However the fear of the chosen children's arrival still linger amongst the four dark megas. Piedmon sent spies throughout the world in search of Gennia, but these searches were to no avail. Gennia could not be located and the time of the children's arrival was drawing near. Since Piedmon's advisors believed that the chosen would first appear on File Island Piedmon sent Devimon, one of his more powerful generals, to keep watch for the children.
When the children arrived they proved beyond capable of defeating the four Dark Masters and their generals. When Piedmon was destroyed he, under the will of the Digi-Core was forced to select a new Lord to rule over the Nightmare Soldiers. The new Lord had to be virtuous, loyal, and noble. And so Piedmon's data sought out a soul that matched these qualities, when one was selected Piedmon's data went to rest in Forbidden valley until the candidate arrived.
Many years pasted and the candidate had not shown. The Nightmare Soldiers began to despair, not only had they lost their Lord, whom they greatly loved, but they had not yet received a sing that a new leader would come. Time past and evil lords rose and then fell at the hands of the chosen. Soon many of the Nightmare Soldiers began to search for a new ruler to serve. At this time a Dark Area digimon by the name of Deamon came before the generals of the Nightmare Soldiers and proclaimed himself as their rightful ruler. Seeing the strength of the mega demon lord, many of the Nightmare Soldiers agreed and left the land of the south to serve their new master. Those who remained loyal to the will of the Digi-Core and their fallen master waited until their true lord appeared. As time passed they began to grow weary, they wished for a new lord, of course none felt that there could ever be a leader they loved more then Piedmon, they still wished to fulfill the prophecy. Little did they know that their true lord would appear soon, and that he would be the greatest leader they could have ever imagined.
