Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or the Royal Knights, however I do own this story, so please don't use it. Now enjoy (I know it's an early update, but whatever, lol). Oh, and I'll try and be more descriptive of the knights, because not everyone knows what they look like, lol. Sorry about that.

Chapter 2: To Face One's Past

Omnimon landed, looking around for the distressed Digimon. "Where are you?!?" He yelled, listening intently for a response.

"Over here, please HURRY!!!" The voice replied, it was to his left and it sounded like a girl.

"I hear you, just hang on! I'm on my way!" He yelled back as he drew his "Transcendent Sword" and rushed over to where he heard the voice. He stopped when he saw a small figure on the ground, it was a young Salamon, she was hurt badly…she must have run into something mean while out at night. "Oh no, are you alright, little one?" He asked as he gently picked up the Puppy type Digimon.

"I think so…I was chased here by a group of red dragons…they left a while ago…I was too hurt to go any further, so I just laid here and hoped they didn't come looking for me again. I saw you in the distance and that's when I called for help…thank you for coming…thank…uhn…" Salamon didn't manage to finish, she passed out due to her wounds. Omnimon knew that she just fell asleep, she had likely had a long, hard night…and what was bad, he didn't know where she lived in the first place, but he couldn't just leave her for the 'red dragons' she had described to come and…

"Wait a minute…'red dragons'…could they have been DexDorugremon? But…I thought we wiped them out after we destroyed Yggdrasil…hmm?" He thought to himself as he observed the unconscious young one as she tucked herself tightly in his arm…apparently she felt safe and comfortable there…even when knocked out. This thought was humorous to him…apparently she had never heard of him or his past…he doubted that this would have been the case if she had, even if he had changed…many Digimon hadn't forgiven him for his past sins…but he was making amends for those very mistakes, that's all he could do. His thoughts were interrupted though as he heard menacing roars behind him…they was unmistakable to his ears…they were the roar of a DexDorugremon…his suspicions were correct. He turned around and forcibly swung his sword, generating a shockwave that sliced the forestry behind him, he observed closely and saw two DexDorugremon fall over dead along with five or six trees that were in the way, he had restrained him strength for fear of destroying large amounts of the forest so he used just enough energy to eliminate the threat…he had hit his mark. He then heard a roar above him, there was a third. The undead dragon began his attack descent and all Omnimon did in response was pull Salamon closer to his body just incase this next stunt didn't work (not that he thought it wouldn't he was just keeping her safety in mind).

After he quickly made sure she would be safe, he closed his eyes due to his assurance in what he was about to do as raised his sword up just at the last second, the dragon foolishly slid right onto the sword head first, and perished. The beast deleted and Omnimon solemnly brushed his sword off then withdrew it. "Sigh…That was a close one…but you're safe. I guess I'll keep you with me while I finish my patrols or until you wake up and can tell me where you live, you'll be fine, little one." He said to himself more than he did to her for she was still asleep. He slowly began to fly back into the sky so he could continue his patrol. For the next hour his thoughts were focused on her, making sure she was alright…and the DexDorugremon…why were there DexDorugremon still around, even after they had supposedly destroyed them all? The night was about half way over when Salamon began to wake up. She opened her large, green eyes and look up at Omnimon, they look like they were filled with peace, but were quickly filled with fear within seconds.

"The dragons, w-where are they?" She panicked, to which Omnimon just looked down at her.

"Relax, little one, you're safe. I've taken care of the dragons, so they won't bother you anymore." He assured her, to which all she did was look up and she wasn't afraid anymore, she was relieved.

"Thank you…I'd like to go home though…my parents Seraphimon and Ophanimon must be very worried." Salamon stated after a few minutes of silence.

"That's fine, just tell me where you live and I'll have you there in no time." He answered, looking back down at her.

"I live near the mountains around that forest that you found me in." She replied.

"I see, just hang on tight. We're going to go there quickly, alright?" Omnimon said as he readied himself to fly faster. Salamon nodded in response and held on tightly to his arm. They were off. It only took them around twenty minutes to reach the area that she had referred too. "Alright, we're here young one…now can you show me where your home is?" He asked.

"Um…I think that is it, over there." She answered, pointing towards a house that had its lights on with her paw; it was near a temple like structure.

"Okay, I'll take you there." He said as he began to descend to the ground. He landed right in front of the door, set her down and let her walk up to the door.

"Mom, dad, I'm home!" She yelled.

"Seraphimon, she's back! Quickly come to the door!" A voice yelled from within the house. The door opened, and there were two armored Angel type Digimon standing at the door, each had beautiful wings. The mother, Ophanimon, picked up her daughter and put her in a hug of relief, whereas the father, Seraphimon, just stared at Omnimon.

"What business do you have here, Royal Knight?" He questioned coldly, Omnimon just backed away for he had no interest in starting an argument.

"I...saved your daughter and brought her here, she said it was her home." Omnimon answered mildly, he didn't want to offend. Seraphimon just continued to stare, but he also had a puzzled look.

"A 'Royal Knight'…really. Who is he?" Ophanimon asked her husband…she apparently had heard of them, but never knew what they looked like.

"He's Omnimon…the 'Destroyer'. He's the worst of them all…he ruthlessly hunted down countless Digimon…and murdered even more." Seraphimon stated with a harsh and unforgiving tone, Omnimon winced at this…he hated his past so much…he then looked down in shame…he had ruined so many lives…so many of his fellow Digimon, murdered by his own hands…all for the sake of what he had once thought to be "order", he then took off because he couldn't stand it any longer.

"Wait!" Ophanimon yelled as he began to fly away, Omnimon stopped and turned around. "Royal Knight or not…you brought our daughter back home…for that we are grateful. Thank you."

All Omnimon did was sigh and then replied, "You're welcome." then flew off.

"Do you think maybe they've changed?" Ophanimon asked her husband, who just looked down.

"I…don't know…it's hard to change after doing what he's done. We'll just have to find out." He answered, watching Omnimon flying off into the distance.

A/N: Well, how did it go? I think it was a little better than the first chapter...it wasn't as boring, lol. Anyway, PLEASE RnR!!!! Hope to see you next chapter.
