A/N: Alright! Sorry for the long update! Between hours of homework, drawing, school, piano, projects, my OTHER story and life, i've gotten pretty busy! But no need to worry! I promise i will be finishing this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own digimon, sadly.

There's a few things in the story that might not make sense in the wording or diction part. So remember to pause at commas and other stuff like that! Hope you enjoy!


Chapter 3: Symbol of the Shadow Crescent Moon

Izzy stood up from his chair under the tree and cleared his throat. The DigiDestined that were closest to him turned their heads and began to quiet down; knowing that the meeting was about to happen. The others, who were much further, which included some of the older DigiDestined, weren't able to hear him. Izzy was about to yell this time when someone else beat him to it.

"Alright everyone! Izzy's about to start the meeting, gather up!" Tai yelled in his 'leader' voice as he sat down on the small blanket next to Izzy's chair.

"Thanks Tai." Izzy said before sitting back down and picking up his laptop again.

"No problem Izzy. I just want to get to the games faster." Tai said chucking.

The rest of the digidestined gathered up in a giant circle under the shade of the big tree. Some sat on the folding chairs they brought, and others, like the couples, sat on the grass so that they were able to cuddle more.

"Alright, like every meeting before this one, I need the leaders to do a role call of their respective regiments." Izzy said nonchalantly, typing on his laptop.

The majority of the group groaned in frustration at Izzy's words. The one thing they hated to do in the meetings was role call. Gennai had explained to the majority of them why it was needed, but to the digidestined, it was a waste of time.

"C'mon Izzy, can't we just wait until you call Gennai and skip it?" Davis complained.

"No we can't, you know Gennai will make us do role call, and then it will take that much longer. Besides, connecting to the Digital World will take some time." Izzy said looking up at Davis for a brief second.

"C'mon guys, I don't see what's the problem with role call, let's just get it over with." Thomas said from the other side of the circle.

Davis mentioned something about 'not being there when they explained' but other than that, the majority had decided to agree and get it over with as soon as possible.

"Alright, I guess I have to start this." Tai said getting up and looking around the circle to find his team.

"Taichi Yagami Kamiya, the bearer of the Crest of Courage, leader of Digital Destiny Regime 01 present. Regiment 01 role call…" Tai said, waiting for his team to respond.

"Yamato Ishida, bearer of the Crest of Friendship present." Matt spoke up.

"Sora Takenouchi, bearer of the Crest of Love present." Sora chirped in after her boyfriend.

"Mimi Tachikawa, bearer of the Crest of Sincerity present." Mimi said looking up before going back to talk to Kari.

"Joe Kido, bearer of the Crest of Reliability present." Joe said while fixing his glasses.

"And Koushiro Izumi, bearer of the Crest of Knowledge present." Izzy said last, before typing in his laptop all of Regime 01 was present.

"Alright my turn, Daisuke Motomiya, bearer of Digimentals Courage and Friendship, leader of Digital Destiny Regime 02 present. Regiment 02 role call…" He said standing up as soon as Tai sat down.

"Ken Ichijouji, bearer of the Digimental of Kindness present." Ken said leaning back into his chair.

"Yolei Inoue, bearer of Digimentals Love and Sincerity present." Yolei said raising her arm to say present before going back to telling Kari something.

"Cody Hida, bearer of Digimentals Knowledge and Reliability present." He said sipping on his soda.

"Hikari Yagami Kamiya, bearer of the Crest and Digimental of Light present." Kari said speaking up before leaning against her boyfriend, Tk.

"Takeru Takaishi, bearer of the Crest and Digimental of Hope present." Tk said wrapping an arm around Kari.

There was a break in the flow of the role call process because Takato failed to realize it was his turn. It wasn't until Rika, who was sitting on his left jabbed him in the ribs and he let out a yelp.

"Hey! What was that for?" Takato said rubbing his sides.

"It's your turn for role call idiot!" She hissed, only allowing the people around her to hear.

"Oh! R-right!" Takato said suddenly getting nervous as he stood up. If there was one thing that made Takato lose his nerve was when he had to speak in front of a large crowd.

"T-takato M-matsuki, l-leader of Regime—er, Digital Destiny Regime 03 present! Regiment 03 role call…" He said a little quickly before sitting down to avoid anymore unwanted attention.

"Idiot," Rika said before calling her name, "Rika Nonaka present."

There had first been a problem with role call when the Tamers arrived for the first time. They didn't posses any special item or any element that allowed them to be a 'bearer.' So in the end, Gennai just decided to have them call out their names for role call.

"Henry Wong present." He said lazily.

"Ryou Akiyama present." Ryo said raising his hand slightly before setting it back down.

"Jeri Katou present."

"Kazu Shioda present."

"Kenta Kitagawa present."

"Suzie Wong present."

Takuya stood up after the last of the Tamers said present and looked at Izzy who was still busy recording the present people on his laptop for Gennai. Takuya waited until Izzy; who didn't bother to look up from the screen, nodded his head for the 'go' sign.

"Takuya Kanbara, Leader of Digital Destiny Regime 04, bearer of the Human Spirit of Flame present. Regiment 04 role call…" Takuya said looking at his friends.

"Koji Minamoto, bearer of the Human Spirit of Light present." Koji said coolly.

"Junpei Shibayama, bearer of the Human Spirit of Thunder present." Jp said cringing a bit on having to say his full name every time.

"Zoe Orimoto, bearer of the Human Spirit of Wind present." Zoe said smiling at her boyfriend.

"Tommy Himi, bearer of the Human Spirit of Ice present." Tommy said raising his hand.

"Koichi Kimura, bearer of the Human Spirit of Darkness present." Koichi said watching Takuya sit back down next to Zoe.

Marcus, being the last, stood up and began his role call. "Marcus Damon, leader of Digital Destiny Regime 05 and current member of the DATS squad present. DATS role call…" He said saying 'DATS' rather than regiment because his regime was still very much active as a digimon police force.

"Thomas H. Norstein, active DATS member present." Thomas said nonchalantly.

"Yoshina Fujieda, active DATS member present!" Yoshino said a bit too happily.

"Keenan Crier, active DATS member present." Keena said quietly.

It took a few more seconds until the sound of the keys being pressed on stopped and Izzy finally looked up from his laptop screen.

"Alright, role call is done and Gennai will be connected in a few more seconds. Tai will you please put this in the middle of the circle please?" Izzy said handing Tai a small circular disk that had a giant lens in the middle.

Tai got up and placed the disk a few feet away from him, close to the center and walked back. Seeing that Tai had done was he was asked to do, Izzy plugged in the wireless antenna for the disk to his USB port and typed a few more keys. The antenna began blinking green as well as the lens on the disk began showing an array of colors. After a few moments, the lens began to glow white and out from the center a projection beam emerged and the projection of the smiling, young Gennai appeared to the Digital Destiny Regiments.

"Hello DigiDestined!" Gennai said happily waving at them.

"Hey Gennai! How's the Digiworld been since we last left there?" Takuya said to the holographic image.

"It's doing quite well for its current state actually Takuya." Gennai said trying to say it in a happy tone, but it faltered and slipped a bit.

"What do you mean current state Gennai?" Kari said, sensing the falter in his voice.

"Actually Kari, that's what I was going to be talking to you Digidestined about." Gennai said, his entire appearance changed from a happy-go-lucky one to a much more serious face; the ones he usually used when there was something bad going on.

"Gennai, what's going on in the Digital World and why haven't DATS been informed?" Keenan said rather curious of what might be happening in the place he was raised in.

"Yes, well, the digimon ambassadors and I didn't view this as much of a problem let alone a threat." Gennai began explaining.

Within the last few weeks, there have been 'evil' digimon that began terrorizing the villages from all over the Digital World. At first, Gennai and the other digimon viewed it as rebel groups and bandits trying to gain items from the villages. But the majority of the reports said that all the evil digimon had the same symbol on their forehead—the symbol of the Shadow Crescent Moons.

"Shadow Crescent Moon? I've never heard of something like that before Gennai." Izzy said speaking out for the rest of the digidestined.

"That's only natural since the Shadow Crescent Moons symbol came from ancient times before the sovereigns. It's a very controversial symbol because shadow can be portrayed as a good symbol or a bad one depending on the user." Gennai said explaining, Kari thought that she had caught a little of unsureness in Gennai's voice, as if he was holding something back, but she put it off thinking it was just her getting too worked up.

"Does the Digital Destiny in the digital world have any ideas as to the purpose of these so called rebels?" Matt said suddenly speaking up.

"Actually Matt, there have been some reports of digimon being kidnapped during the raids, but we've done some research on the victims and there is no real pattern to it. These digimon under the symbol invade the village, don't take anything, but kidnap random level digimon." Gennai said answering Matt's second question before it was even asked verbally.

"Gennai, do you want the DATS team to head over and investigate with you?" Yoshino asked the young scientist.

"No, no. As being the only active Digital Regiment in the real world, we need you to stay on the look out incase stronger digimon appear." Gennai said waving off Yoshino's suggestion, "Besides, we've got more than enough help here in the digital world; you don't need to worry about us."

"Who's on the crew to help for this investigation?" Tai said curious.

"Well, Azulongmon's division is currently leading the investigation, as well as having the remaining Royal Knights dispersed to the other sovereigns to take care of the stronger digimon reported." Gennai said using his fingers to count and remember who exactly was on the investigation crew.

"What about Wormmon and the other digimon of the older digidestined?" Ken inquired.

"Oh yes! Since the majority of our higher level digimon are out scouting, we've asked the older digidestined's digimon to be a guard for the Digital Destiny headquarters as well as few scout missions to nearby villages that had been attacked. After all, they aren't able to digivolve without their partners." Gennai said smiling and looking at the older digidestined's faces, knowing their digimon were well and still helping out the best they can.

There was a commotion and a few voices heard over the hologram and Gennai turned around quickly before getting back to the children.

"Looks like this meeting is over for now, it appears there has been a raid near where Alphamon was stationed. Don't worry digidestined, we don't suspect this charade to go on for too long, we'll take care of everything. I'll see you digidestined in the next meeting!" Gennai said reassuring them of how simple they thought the situation was before waving and logged off the server.

Everyone waved off the young scientist and Izzy disconnected the device from the server. There was a moment of silence after the goodbyes because everyone was still thinking about what had Gennai said. What were the goal of the digimon and why did they have those Shadow Crescent Moons?

"Alright everyone, cheer up! Gennai said everything was going to be fine right?" Tai said getting up and faced everyone, trying to reassure them as Gennai had done. Sure he was worried, but he needed to be strong to get the team back up.

"Tai's right, Gennai said it would be okay! Plus Palmon and the other digimon are helping out! I say let's not worry! It's bad for your skin!" Mimi said also smiling.

"You're right; I guess I was over thinking on things again, I'm sure everything is going to be okay." Kari said snapping out of her thoughts of despair and worry.

"Well, if Kari says it's alright, then I do too!" Davis said getting up excitedly.

"Besides, I hear that Hypnos teamed up with the Digital Destiny to have a human organization help out with the digital affairs, plus my dad's on Hypnos, so I'll keep everyone updated if anything happens." Henry added to the 'good news.'

Everyone eventually was able to believe that everything would be okay, and within minutes they were back to their chatty and happy selves. They all stretched from sitting down for too long while waiting for the fun part of the meetings to begin. The activities portion of the meetings were a new addition that was put in a few months prior to the 4th regiment getting added. The games were mostly planned by the eldest DD's for they had the most people who actually did outdoor activities. However, there were a few that helped out including Tk, Jeri, Zoe, Takuya and a bunch of others. The planners were talking in a messy circle trying to decide what would be the best activity to play today. Finally, after a few minutes of discussion, the group disbanded and Tai walked up to the so called front area of the meeting place and grabbed everyone's attention.

"Alright, thanks to Mimi's brilliant idea of having a 'Maria Goes to Town' last week," Tai started, getting giggles from the girls, a smirk from Mimi, and moans from the guys who had to cross dress, "we've decided to man up the activity today and play soccer!" He yelled on the last word.

There were yells and 'yeses' from the guys and a few moans from the girls that didn't want to play soccer, but rather just sit. The rules were simple, follow standard soccer rules, but they went easy on the regulations because the majority weren't professionals like Tai or Davis. There were 21 out of the 30 digidestined who volunteered to go play soccer.

"Alright, that's 21," Sora said calling head count, "Tai, we're missing one more player!" she said after realizing they were short one, after all, it wouldn't be fair for the other team.

"Oh no we won't!" Mimi said smiling, at the same time cutting Tai off with what he was going to respond.

Mimi skipped over to Izzy who was typing away at his laptop while sitting down. She stood there for a good few moments before she did the unthinkable, she took Izzy's laptop and shut it close. There were many gasps from the younger digidestined, but the older ones were more accustomed to moments where one of them took Izzy's computer away.

"Mimi! Give me back my laptop!" Izzy said getting up and attempting to grab his laptop from the girl.

"No can do Koushiro, I've decided you're going to be playing soccer with us today and I don't think laptops are allowed on the field. Isn't that right Tai!?" She yelled out to the leader.

"No they aren't!" He said smirking when he saw Izzy's face fall.

"But I don't want to play soccer!" He said whining, something Izzy does not do a lot of.

"C'mon Izzy, it'll be fun! You'll get to move around rather than sit on your butt typing and getting arthritis in your fingers." Matt said walking up to Mimi.

"What about Joe? He's got nothing to do!" Izzy said pointing to the blue haired medic.

"No can do Izzy, I've got asthma." Joe said fixing his glasses.

Izzy looked from Mimi, to Matt to the others waiting for him in the open field. He had a face that said he really didn't want to play, but he had no other choice because Mimi would threaten his laptop. Finally, after a few minutes to silence and shifting glances, Izzy hung his head in defeat.

"Fine, I'll play." He said dejectedly.

Mimi and Matt did a high five and walked with Izzy to the rest of the waiting players; not before Mimi ran to Joe and gave him Izzy's laptop to watch.

"Thanks for the help Joe, if you didn't say anything Izzy would have never agreed." Mimi said giggling.

"No problem, he needs to get out often anyways, and he should have known I got over my asthma years ago." Joe said laughing a bit before watching Mimi leave for the field.

The group was divided into two teams with Tai and Davis as the captains considering they were the only professional players of the group. To determine who would go into which team, each person drew straws and whoever got the longer straw went to Davis's team and the shorter straw to Tai's team. The end results were on Davis's team: Takuya, Sora, Yolei, Rika, Kari, Mimi, Matt, Marcus and Izzy. While on Tai's team there was: Kouchi, Ken, Tommy, Takato, Tk, Ryo, Koji, Yoshino and Kennan.

"Alright team, this is how it will work, I'll take forward, Yoshino take goalie, Tk be the stopper, Ken and Ryo be my wings, Tommy and Keenan be the midfielders and Kouchi, Koji and Takato be the defense. Everyone got that?" Tai said to his crew who were huddled for game planning on their side of the field.

Everyone nodded their heads and broke the huddle, heading over to their respective positions. Tai had tried to place each of his team members in a position that fit best for their game playing from what he had seen the other few times they'd played soccer in the meetings. Grant, it wasn't much and each team was always different every time. He stretched out his muscles and got his legs pumped while waiting for the other team to finish their huddle.

"Okay, so we're up against some pretty good players today. Yoshino is one heck of a goalie and Ken used to be the top soccer player back when we were kids. Plus Ryo, Tk and Koji are pretty fierce at this game too." Davis said to his team, seeing Matt nod when he had mentioned Tk being good at soccer.

"But that's alright! We've got me, Sora, Kari and Matt too." He said reassuring them before continuing, "So I'll take forward with Sora and Kari as my wings, Yolei you're a good goalie, Matt you're pretty tough, be the stopper, Takuya and Rika will be midfielders and Izzy, Marcus and Mimi are the defenders." Davis said counting with his fingers so that he wouldn't leave anyone out.

Unlike Tai, Davis didn't base it on his observations for he never observed during the other times they've played; he only gave them their positions from memory and of course knowledge on who was a good soccer player. Sora was a given because she's played with Tai before, Kari knew a few tricks from Tai and Matt always played to keep his body maintained. They all put their hands in the middle and broke their huddle, also going to their assigned places. Davis sent Kari out to pass first and Tai sent out Ryo to switch things up.

"Be careful Ryo, Kari may look cute, but she's one heck of a player." Tai warned his teammate.

"What can I say, I learned from the two best teachers." Kari said.

"Alright, to determine who gets the ball," Tai said holding up his soccer ball which he retrieved from his bike moments prior, "we'll flip a coin, call it in the air guys."

Tai pulled out a coin from his shorts and flipped the coin.

"Heads." Kari said quickly.

"Tails then." Ryo responded.

It flew up, spinning and landed on Tai's open palm which he closed quickly and flipped it over on the back of his other palm. The result was heads, meaning Kari's team was the one that started the game with the soccer ball.

Kari took the ball from Tai and both wings took the center field while the forwards switched places with them for the moment. Upon Joe's signal, Kari moved the ball forward and back towards Sora who expertly commanded the ball to bend to her every move as she crossed to the other team's side. Tai quickly switched places with Ryo and each member took on the roll as defender. Having played with Sora before, each of them knew how deadly she was in soccer even if she hadn't played in years. Ken was trailing on Sora slowly advancing forward due to his faster speed in running. Tk was a few feet in front of Sora ready to defend the goal. Assessing her situation, Sora looked for Davis and kicked the ball up and over to the forward. Tai attempted to intercept the ball when it suddenly veered off to the side; Sora had added a small curve to the ball's trajectory and Davis caught it without hesitation. Running down the field, Davis was confronted by Keenan and Tommy charging at him with full intent on getting the ball. Davis quickly juggled the ball between his legs as he spun around the unskilled midfielders.

Kari came up short of the goal with Ryo blocking her move as well as the midfielders and Tai watching her movements, if she was only able to catch Davis's attention. However, luck was on Davis's team. Davis had gotten almost to shooting range of the goal and attempted to kick his fullest. Upon seeing what he was going to do, Ryo instinctively left his post in guarding Kari and ran to try to save the ball from Davis. Bad mistake, Tai was a good distance further back when Ryo did so and attempted to cover the position as Davis prepped to strike, but it was too late. Davis, instead of kicking forward, suddenly turned his body and kicked the ball at Kari who caught it and kicked it into the goal. Score 1 for Davis's team.

"It's alright team! We'll get them back for sure!" Tai assured his team while waiting for Yoshino to send the ball back.

"Damn straight! We were just caught off guard!" Yoshino said before throwing the ball to Ken who took it gladly.

With 2 skilled forwards as well as Ryo backing them up, Tai's team was able to shoot in a goal within minutes. This was how the game went for the remaining hours of the meeting. One team would score and then the other would make a goal in return when they received the ball, there were no steals and no mistakes. Overall it was a great game, their few spectators enjoyed watching the intensity of the game unfold on the field as it neared the final minute.

However, the game didn't exactly finish because by the 3rd quarter, almost all the players, minus Sora, Tai, Ken and Davis were tired and barely put enough energy to finish the game. So it ended with a dead tie; which 4 certain people weren't too happy about. It was already late and the sun looked like it was about to set anytime soon, so the digidestined decided to call this meeting over and proceeded to collect their things and be off on their own ways.

"Today was a good game, don't you think Tai?" Ken said running up to the brunette who had taken off his white undershirt and decided to just wear his button-up.

"Yea, it was a good game, if you called that tie a win for us." Tai said panting.

"Oh please, if Mimi hadn't called out to stop the game, I would have made that last score Tai." Sora said walking up to the 2 of them.

"Alright, enough, it was a tie alright? I don't understand how you 4 could still run yet alone bicker after an intense game like that." Matt said to the 3 while slumping down on a folding chair.

"I know what you mean. I mean, I work out and have pretty good endurance, but you guys have too much stamina!" Mimi said leaning on Matt's chair while fanning herself with her hands.

"Well Meems, 3 of us are professional athletes and the other is an ex-soccer player. We have to have high endurances for tournaments and such." Sora said looking at her best friend.

"That was a good workout; I can't wait for the next soccer game!" Ryo said walking up and putting a hand on Ken's shoulder.

Rika walked up to her boyfriend and allowed herself to get wrapped in his arms while she also agreed that the game was fun. The exhausted players all talked about the game and how they couldn't wait for the next one until Izzy gained enough composure to say that he was going to leave. Then, slowly, each digidestined began to say goodbyes and left until it was a few of the older DDs and fewer younger DDs.

"Hey Tai, I'm going ahead with Mimi alright?" Kari said waving off to Tai and walked with Mimi to her car.

"Alright, don't wait up for me! I have a key!" Tai yelled back, turning to who was left.

"Well, we should go, I need a good shower and Rika stinks like crazy." Ryo said joking around with his now red girlfriend.

They waved off before Rika pounded Ryo in the head for that last comment to which the others heard his girly yell while trying to run away from his pissed off girlfriend.

"Well, it's getting late and driving a bike at night isn't really safe." Tai said to Matt, Tk and Sora while pointing to his bike with his thumb.

He was about to head off before he remembered that Sora rode with him earlier and wondered if she needed a ride back.

"Oh hey Sor! Do you still need a ride back or are you getting one with Matt?" Tai asked turning around.

"It's cool Tai, I can drop her off. All her things are with her right?" Matt answered for Sora, who looked as thought she wasn't sure.

"Oh okay then, and yes, all her stuff is with her. Bye guys!" Tai said running over to his bike to put on his jacket, helmet and secure his things.

Matt, Sora and Tk made their way over to Matt's car and got ready to leave. They waved to Tai as he passed slowly and waved before they left the parking lot for the Odaiba Park.


Tai arrived to the apartment building before Matt's car had. He parked his bike in the small garage he had bought for his car and bike rather than leave it outside under an open roof. Tired and dirty, Tai used the elevator rather than the stairs—which he normally took—all the way up to the top floor where his and Kari's apartment was. Walking inside the apartment, Tai noted that Kari had already been home and taking a shower; the on lights and sound of running water gave him proof of that. He walked over to the opposite side of the apartment where a separate hallway led to his own bedroom and bathroom. He quickly took a shower and got ready for bed by putting on his pajamas, which were some old soccer shorts. He walked to the kitchen where he saw Kari also ready for bed drinking some warm milk.

"Milk sounds good right about now." Tai said aloud and grabbed a glass as well.

"Hey Tai?" Kari said softly.

"Yea? What is it?" Tai looked at her through his glass.

"You think what Gennai said about the raids and kidnaps not being a problem is true?" Kari said staring at her half empty cup.

"Well sure. I mean, why would they not tell us if it was a major problem? Is something bothering you Kari?" Tai asked switching to older brother mode.

"No, it's just that I find it very strange that such a simple raid and kidnap would cause the Digital Destiny to send Azulongmon's division as well as the Royal Knights, don't you?"

"I guess so," Tai said now thinking about it, "but didn't Gennai say that they were seen with those Shadow symbols or something? I'm sure they just needed some really old digimon to help figure out why it's there. And you have to admit, Azulongmon is pretty old." Tai said grinning at his own joke.

"You're right, I'm just probably a little apprehensive. Thanks Tai." The younger Kamiya said gulping down the rest of her milk and placing the cup into the sink.

"It's alright; I'm worried for Agumon and the other digimons as well. Just don't think about it too much, I'm sure Gennai will update us next meeting." Tai said heading over to his bedroom.

"Goodnight Tai." Kari yelled.

"Night!" He yelled back.

Tai watched the lights turn off from the main room before closing the door to his own room. He got into bed and laid down on his pillow thinking about the conversation he just had with Kari. Why were the Royal Knights involved? And what IS the Shadow Crescent Moon symbol? So many questions ran through his head. But most of all, he was really worried about the digidestined's digimon, especially Agumon; if he only was able to help him again. Little did Tai know, he would be given the change to be able to fight alongside Agumon again, but for that to happen, he would be dragged into a conflict so vast that it had transcended down the generations from all the way back to the ancient times.


In a distant land, much further than the opposite side of the Earth—no, it wasn't even on Earth, it was on a continent where many different creatures roamed and lived; a continent that was made by digital fragments, the Digital World—a great digimon that seemed to be a dragon made of translucent material, as if it was it's own spirit itself, except for the giant mask that was his head and the chains surrounding the body, was surrounded by various high level digimon. They were mostly ultimates, but there were the few champions and megas—each different from the other but shared a common item—they all had the Shadow Crescent Moon symbol on their heads. It appeared to give them an extra boosted strength from their normal powers. The unconscious forms of the remaining 5 Royal Knights proved to Azulongmon that these digimon had a greater purpose than just raids, someone was controlling them. However, from his memory, the only person to be able to control the shadow forces would have been dead for over a century in human years, that's millennia in digimon years.

Azulongmon had come to a decision that he would fight his way out to try and get help to save the Knights. As he was able to prepare for an attack, a section of the circle of digimon parted to give way to a dark figure walking towards the large digimon sovereign. The digimon took only moments to realize who the figure was, the one behind all the attacks. He wore onyx black samurai armor with silvery-white accents as well as the symbol of the Shadow Crescent Moon in that white color engraved on the front chest plate.

"It has been too long old friend." Kizuki smiled at the paralyzed digimon.

"Come now, is that how you respect old time comrades nowadays?" Kizuki said amused at the digimon's surprised look.

Only one person was chosen to wield the ancient digivice of shadow, that same person who was suppose to die of old age over a century ago now stood in front of Azulongmon in the very same armor he had worn during their battles together. The one person who wielded the complete opposite element to himself, the element of Shadow, the one person that Azulongmon became a team with, his human partner Kizuki Hoshima was the one behind the controlling of the digimon.

There was a still silence in the air as the digimon surrounding the sovereign gathered together and took down the mighty beast without so as a fight from the guardian of the eastern gate.


Alright, so there were a few confusing things in this chapter i presume?

READ THIS: First of all, i have a few links for image references for this chapter. Alright, the Shadow Crescent Moon symbol looks like this: (h t t p : / / w w w . e n c h a n t e d w o r k s . c o m / c a t _ i m a g e / 4 1 0 . j p g)

And the samurai armor for the ancient digidestined looks like this: (h t t p : / / w w w . r i v e r c i t y i a i d o . c o m / i m a g e s / m i s c % 2 0 p a g e s / k e n d o _ o l d _ a r m o r . j p g) except the symbol on the front changes to each of the symbol for the ancient digidestined. Those are Shadow, Will, Emotion, Heaven and Time. The symbols for the others are unnecessary for the moment.

And finally, 'Maria Goes to Town' is a game that my family always plays during camping and such. There's a basket with a shawl, dress/jumper/skirt, etc. And it's only supposed to be guys to be funny, but they go in a line and each team races to put on the entire outfit and walk a certain distance and back like a lady would be when she goes to town to buy groceries.

Thanks for reading this loong chapter! Review and tell me what you think of it so far! The actual storyline is just beginning!
