Please don't hesitate to Review, because otherwise I don't know if people like the story or not. Best way to make things better too.

Here is something I forgot since the beginning: I do not own digimon. I only own the OC's (Except Kai) and the digimons I create as well as the digivices I create.

Chapter 3: Together we stand.

It had been 2 days since the fight against Vegiemon and the rescue of the golden-eyed girl. At the end of the fight, Sieg had fallen unconscious after absorbing the evil digimons data. And now, that young man and his group were resting at the side of the ocean, where he and Kai ran after escaping from Snimon. Kai had built a small house near the coast and that was the place where Sieg had been sleeping for two days, being watched by the surfer, his digimon and the woman with golden eyes.

Kai was getting worried about the young man's state. He seemed to be breathing normally and not in any weird state, but it just felt wrong. Why didn't Sieg wake up? It's been a while since the fight, and he didn't show any illness or symptoms of something that got to him. Sitting by his side, he was wondering what could be wrong. Kamemon, looking at his partner, couldn't do anything. Suddenly, the girl with golden eyes went outside, which made Kai look at her. Judging it was better to let Sieg alone, he went after her. As he got out, with Kamemon behind him, he saw the girl, standing and watching the vast ocean.

"You know something about Sieg's condition, don't you?" said Kai, closing his fist as he steps toward her.

"Sadly…. No. I didn't think his body would be affected that much due to the fusion with the spirit…"

"Just…. Who are you? And how do you know about those spirits thing?" said Kai, worried. This, in turn, made the girl turn around and look at him.

"I am Elwin Benshy. I'm the one who called Sieg here, and the spirit is that of an ancient digimon which fought to protect the digital world during the past." said the young girl as she walked toward the surfer. "I don't know how Sieg got the digivice he used, I was supposed to give him one that I have."

She then took out a digivice, different from the one that Sieg and Kai used. It was Black and Gold, with a red outline around the screen. It was called a D-Tector, a digivice used to harmonize the human's spirit with that of an ancient digimon through the use of Spirits, like the one Sieg used. Kai looked at the digivice, his eyes wide open. If that was the digivice which was destined to him, then what did he get? And how?

"Then wouldn't it be better if we took away Siegs current digivice and gave him the one you have Elwin?" said Kamemon as he stepped forward, which brought Kai out of his thinking.

"If only it was so simple…" replied Elwin as she sighed. "He needs to be the one to get rid of the digivice himself; otherwise it'll be like we just stole it. And he is already linked to it. Removing it from him may cause something bad to happen."

Kai sighed. There was nothing they could do? Just…. how bad could Siegs state get anyway? The young surfer kicked the sand, startling both the girl and his partner. If they couldn't help Siegs current state, then just don't let him fight. Determined, he began to walk forward, heading toward the forest, Kamemon running behind him.

"Where are you going?" said Elwin, confused.

"I can't let Sieg fight if he'll get in that state again, so I'm going to take out the enemy before they come in." replied Kai, not turning around.

Rash, but it showed that he cared. Even though he had met Sieg only recently, he was ready to help him to that extent. Elwin smiled and went back to the small house where the spirit user was resting.

After 2 hours walking, Kai and Kamemon reached the temple where they fought Vegiemon. The ruin entrance was covered with multiple vines and the stones were destroyed at some places, showing how old it was. Seeing a stone where he could sit, Kai didn't hesitate and took place. He raised his head to the sky and started thinking. What is the origin of those spirits, how were they created? Many questions were going on in his head. The biggest one was about the digivice Sieg had… Kai remembers he shouted Alpha 32 before transforming, but nothing else.

Suddenly, he heard a weird noise, bringing him back to reality. As he looked around, the surfer saw that Kamemon was missing. Where could the turtle have gone to? Starting to search around, Kai was wondering what could've happened while he was lost in thoughts. Normally, Kamemon would headbutt him to bring him back to reality, but now… Stopping beside a tree, he finally found his partner… who was sleeping. On a rock. That was just like him… Kai went toward the turtle and simply pushed him down the rock. Kamemon fell on his head and instantly woke up, looking around to see an enemy. What he found was a Kai, arms crossed and watching him with some form of anger in his eyes.

"So, you decided to sleep instead of searching for hints about the enemy huh?" said Kai as he uncrossed his arms.

"W-Well… I was only taking a small break!" replied Kamemon, blushing and looking away.

"Then enough resting, we need to get a move on. Maybe we'll find something in the ruins." said the young man as he went back to where he was daydreaming, his partner right behind him.

Kai and Kamemon stood once again in front of the ruins, remembering the fight they had against Vegiemon. They weren't able to finish the green monster since Sieg stepped in, destroying the creature and absorbing his data. It's too bad that the young surfer couldn't finish the fight himself but he had other things to do right now. Stepping inside the ruins, he headed directly to where the fight happened: the large room where the spirit appeared.

At first, the young man didn't see anything. The room looked like it was when they left… That was until Kamemon saw a shadow moving, which made him get in battle position. Kai looked at his partner, wondering what he saw, until he heard a sound, which made him bring out his digivice. Something was here, beside them. Kai was kind of glad to have somebody here except himself, because it proved that he was right by coming here to get hints. Suddenly, a man came out from behind the rock… Actually, it was looking more like an ape with sunglasses and a white belly. Kamemon's eyes widened as he began to shake on place.

"What's wrong Kamemon?" said Kai as he saw his partner.

"That's… Etemon… the beast rocker. He thinks he's the king of digimon… although he got power, he is nowhere near that title." replied Kamemon.

"I'm getting closer to that goal, little turtle. I've allied myself with one who, like me, wishes to rule the worlds. He desires the human world, I desire the digital world. Thus I began working with him." said Etemon with a grin as he took out his microphone.

Kamemon, knowing what Etemon was about to do, pressed his helmet upon his ears. Kai, seeing his partner do this, thought of doing the same… just in time too. Etemon started his attack, Love Serenade, by singing in his microphone. Having their ears covered, they weren't completely affected by the music, but they felt their fighting spirit being sucked away really slowly. When the monkey was done singing, Kai took his digivice in hand, the object starting to emit light. Kamemon's body glowed with the same light as the digivice, beginning the form change.

"KAMEMON DIGIVOLVE TO… GAWAPPAMON!"

The kappa with a disk on his head stood in front of the monkey, ready to fight. Etemon, disappointed, made a sad face before hiding his microphone and getting ready for another attack. Gawappamon was the first to move, shooting disks from his head to attack the weird creature. The monkey evaded, getting a dark sphere in his hands and throwing it at Gawappamon. The kappa took the hit, falling on the ground. It wasn't a weak attack, it was strong… That's an ultimate level digimon's strike. And the surfer's partner was being overwhelmed… Kai wanted to do something, but he couldn't make his digimon evolve past the champion level. How was he supposed to bring more power to his ally? Suddenly, Etemon drew his attention as he made another sphere, ready to shoot it at the digimon on the ground. Kai was going to protect Gawappamon when the ceiling broke apart, letting a form fall and give a kick in the monkey's face.

Standing up after hitting the monkey was Sieg, ready to fight. He was topless due to unknown reasons. Behind Kai, Elwin arrived, exhausted and looking at the guys. Her white dress was flickering around her as she stopped beside Kai, taking back her breath. Sieg went to Gawappamon and helped him up while the monkey was getting back after that surprise attack.

"How dare you human from attacking me during my show? YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" shouted Etemon as he was readying his strongest attack, Dark Network.

"Gawappamon, alone we won't be able to handle it. We need to stand strong, together. Ready?" said Sieg as he looked at Etemon.

The Kappa nodded as Sieg took out his digivice, beginning his own evolution process. A cocoon of light covered his body while the armor on the spirit dissolved to take place upon the body of the young man. When the cocoon vanished, Siemon could clearly see Etemon's attack getting bigger: he was loading his Dark Network as much as he could. Unable to wait anymore, the metal warrior lunged toward the ape, taking the half gear on his shoulder and detaching it, ready to strike. Gawappamon began shooting his disks from his head in order to help Siemon in his assault.

The metal warrior was about to smash the monkey with his half-gear weapon, but he clashed with the Dark Network ball instead. The ball was as big as him now, and even with the assault that Gawappamon provided, Siemon was being pushed back. His feet sliding upon the surface, he was slowly moving back. Gawappamon, seeing what was happening, started to push the humanoid digimon in the back so he could contain the attack, but no success. Etemon was simply watching all of this, an evil grin on his face. Suddenly, a light surged out of Siemon's chest and of Kai's digivice, surrounding the digimons who were pushing back Etemon's attack. A message appeared on Kai's digivice, saying if he wanted to initiate the system. Seeing how dire the situation was, he accepted. As soon as he did this, the light from Kai's digivice and Siemon's chest became brighter. A new digivolution was being activated.

"Gawappamon…"

"Siemon…"

"DNA Digivolve to… AquaEdgemon!"

As the light vanished, we could see a new digimon. Wearing a blue Chrome Digizoid armor, he had fins coming out of his forearms armor as well as one big fin from his back. A big metal gear was rotating on the middle of his chest, the gear made from black Chrome Digizoid. 2 swords were in his hands, made from black Chrome Digizoid as well and looking like sharpened fins. His legs seemed humans, except the armor covering his feet looked like the feet of an armored diver. His helmet was covering his whole face, a trident coming out of his forehead with a CD spinning on it. Finally, he had a black scarf tied around his neck, covering his mouth, allowing only his eyes to be seen between the armor.

Etemon was shocked as the new digimon shredded the Dark Network ball in multiple fragments. Sheathing his swords, AquaEdgemon looked at the monkey before him, his deep blue eyes observing the movements of the creature. When the enemy was about to take out his microphone, AquaEdgemon moved behind him so fast that nobody seen the warrior move. Not only had he crushed the microphone, but he had done 4 sword slash at Etemon, drawing a bloody cross on his chest. The ape fell to his knees and placed his hands before him so he doesn't lie on the ground. He couldn't believe what happened. He was being overpowered so easily, when he said he would become the king of digimons. Suddenly, the monkey stood up and ran away. AquaEdgemon didn't move. Instead, he reverted back to his original forms: Sieg and Kamemon.

Kai ran toward them, taking Kamemon in his arms. Sieg had some problem walking, which made Elwin move and help him. Without a word, the team went back to the beach house. As they arrived, Sieg sat beside the bed while Kai dropped Kamemon in it. Elwin waved at the 2 boys, making them come out. Sieg sat in the stairs as he watched the two others. Kai decided to speak, looking at Sieg.

"What happened for you to be asleep this long?" asked Kai, arms crossed on his chest.

"I've had a long sweet talk with Siemon's spirit." replied Sieg as he closes his eyes and sigh.

"What did you talk about?" said Elwin, making Sieg open one of his eyes.

"The state of this world, the past, the revived evil and this digivice, which was given to me in the real world. I know you were supposed to give me one yourself… Elwin, was it? But this digivice is going to be needed in this quest…"

"How so?"

"Because it is the digivice of an ancient civilisation, in which humans and digimons lived together. It is also the origins of the one known as King Drasil, which is born from the use of this ancient civilisation, a union between a human and a digimon. After the creation of King Drasil, the humans and digimons separated, and the creatures came into this world, created by Yggdrasil and governed by him." said Sieg as he explained the story the spirit told him. "Not long after the creation of the world, the 10 great warriors rose to fight some sort of virus sent from the human world. Having completed their duty, they kept living until they vanished, but not completely. Yggdrasil, in an attempt to conserve their power, in case a situation like this one rose again, transformed their power into spirits."

"So you mean that Siemon was one of those 10 warriors?" asked Kai, still trying to take the story in.

"Not exactly." said Elwin, making Kai turn toward her. "The spirit of steel, which Siemon is supposed to represent, is meant to be the digimon Ancient Wisetmon, Mercurymon and Sephirotmon. So why is he considered to be the warrior of steel?" finally asked Elwin as she and Kai turned to Sieg.

"Before Yggdrasil was created, there were many warriors that fought to protect their hometowns, village and even the world from others. Siemon didn't want to reveal who the others were so I'll let you imagine. But his origin starts from there: he isn't exactly the warrior of steel. It's a title that was given to him as he fought against an army and controlled all that was considered steel in his time. If he was to represent something, he would rather be called the Legendary Warrior of Combination."

"Legendary… what?" said Kai, confused.

"It explains why you and Gawappamon were able to perform a DNA digivolution…" said Elwin, nodding slowly to the affirmation she said.

"Exactly. Now, after the 10 real warriors of the digital world became spirits, humans came to this world, in a number of 7 at first. They were known as the Adventurers, and gained the first digivice created by a man of data named Gennai, the original. It was called like this since no trace of the digivice of the ancient civilisation were found. After some years, another group appeared, bearing the digivice created by Azulongmon and the four sovereigns, the D3. Exactly like the one that Kai possess." Said Sieg, pointing the digivice that the young man was looking at, colored with an ocean blue and deep blue buttons.

"The D3 possesses much functionality that the Original didn't have: it could produce a DNA digivolution at will, otherwise known as Jogress Evolution, between two bearers of corresponding digivice. It could also use the power from artifacts named Digi-Egg, which allowed a digimon to use the power from a virtue or a feeling to evolve."

"Where can I find those digi-eggs?" asked Kai, eager to get one.

"I heard they all vanished from this world." Said sadly Elwin, Sieg nodding to confirm what she said.

"After the arrival of D3, many humans were sighted with digivices and partner digimons, helping both the human world and the digital world. After some times, a new type of what was called a digisaver appeared, being 3 at first. They had a new digivice named D-Arc, or D-Power if you prefer. They couldn't use DNA Digivolution, but were able to use the power from cards and fuse the digimon with its human partner in order to become a strong digimon."

"Using cards? What cards were they using for this?" asked Kai, confused once again. (I swear, he's getting confused a lot in this chapter XD)

"At that time, the humans had released a card game of digimon. And the D-Arc allowed using those cards in order to reinforce a digimon, which could even allow a rookie/disciple level to beat a mega/ultimate." answered Elwin, which made Sieg smile.

"After came the 6 humans who possessed the power of the 10 warriors I mentioned when I spoke about the creation of the digital world. The 6 humans were using a digivice named D-Tector, allowing them to take the form of the digimon from which they had the spirit. But some digimons were sighted, able to use the power of spirits without using digivices, which led to the 4 other warriors. Then, people created a company, a security firm to be exact, in order to regulate the digimon entering the human world."

"Why would they do that?" asked Kai ONCE AGAIN confused, his brain obviously overheating.

"I think you know the answer, if you take in account the way Vegiemon and Etemon were acting." replied Sieg as he sighed. "The ones working in this security firm possessed a digivice named Digivice IC, which could evolve into a digivice BURST. It pretty much represented the same function as the original, except by the use of the human's energy to make the digimon evolve through his stage, also allowing a digimon to reach a special form known as Burst Mode. That's pretty much all I know about the past. Siemon hinted that many other digivices existed, but those were the main ones."

"… It's surprising to see that you know so much of this world after so few days. I guess it was a good idea that we chose you to help us…" said Elwin, smiling.

Sieg stood up, still hurting from the fights he had, and walked toward the ocean, looking far away. After using the DNA Digivolution power that the D3 and Alpha produced, he was exhausted, but not as much as when he absorbed the data of Vegiemon. Yes he has spoken with Siemon… But he had some trouble purifying the data of the evil digimon. Elwin stood beside him and looked far away as well.

"So, what did you want me in this world for? And what are you?" asked Sieg as he turned to look at her.

"… I'm a human, born in the digital world. I've grew in this world all my life, along with some digimons. Then, a Royal Knight took me to see Yggdrasil and the god gave me some digivices, like the one I was supposed to give you. He asked me to find humans that would help us defeat the evil digimons that are gathering in order to resurrect Shadow Godmon." answered Elwin as she closed her eyes.

"Shadow Godmon… This won't be a nice and little chat huh… Alright, I'll help you." said Sieg while placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Us too!" shouted Kai as he arrived with Kamemon.

Elwin smiled to them, whispering a "thanks". After more speaking, and some surfing for Kai and Kamemon, the team went to sleep. Something moved in the bushes, jumping before taking flight toward the other side of the ocean.

In a dark castle, located in the dark zone, multiple digimons were gathering. A small bat in a sphere shape flew through the groups and arrived in front of a giant door, protected by 2 huge demon-like digimons. The monsters opened the doors, letting the bat-sphere shaped digimon enter, getting to the center of a room. A spotlight opened in the middle, batting the bat in light. Before him stood 12 thrones, most of them occupied.

"What do you have to report, DemiDevimon?" asked a dark and gloomy voice.

The DemiDevimon looked up, watching the throne that was on top of a pedestal, over the others. His master had spoken first; he had to answer back with good information. Bowing in front of the leaders, the bat started to speak.

"Vandrakemon-sama, Yggdrasil has begun assembling forces in order to stop our noble goal of resurrecting our god." said DemiDevimon, making some of the leaders laugh until the leader, Vandrakemon, smashed his fist upon the side of his throne.

"Do they seem strong?"

"Well… one of them is using a Lost Civilisation digivice, has acquired a spirit and already used a DNA Digivolution against Etemon." replied DemiDevimon.

At the mention of the Lost Civilisation Digivice, no sounds were made. We couldn't hear a single sound. DemiDevimon looked up slowly, wondering what the reaction of his master was. Suddenly, Vandrakemon exploded in laughs, which stunned everyone in place.

"Lost Civilisation huh? Interesting… I hope they'll prove to be a challenge" said Vandrakemon as he finally stopped laughing. "Send the brothers Megadramon and Gigadramon in order to welcome them for their arrival in this world. I'm sure they'll enjoy our greetings."

As Vandrakemon started to laugh again, DemiDevimon left after bowing. Rushing out of the room, he hurried toward the place where the brothers resided, ready to transfer the orders from his master.
