A few days ago, Calvin and Gomamon arrived in Liverpool, England to meet up with Adam and Salamon. When Adam first met Calvin, he was very uncertain about him; the main reason is his laid back attitude. Gomamon and Salamon were hitting it off easily since they knew each other since they were hatched from their eggs. The four of them went around Liverpool since Calvin wanted to see the sights; which was exhausting for Adam since Calvin wanted to be everywhere.
This morning, Adam sneaked off to the library to get some reading done. While he was reading, Calvin, Gomamon, and Salamon came in and interrupted him.
"Want to go to Rome?" said Calvin.
"What?" Adam asked.
"Rome, Italy! Why don't we go right now?" Calvin said to Adam
"Calvin said he could take us there right now." said Salamon
"All it takes is one phone call." said Gomamon
"(Covering Salamon and Gomamon's mouths) You two can't talk while we're in public. Do you have any idea what would happen if anyone saw you all talking?" said Adam
"Don't worry Adam; we made sure no one is around to see us talking." said Salamon
"Ok, but what is all this about going to Rome, Italy; how are you going to get us there with just one phone call?" Adam asked again.
"I have friend there who can make arrangements for us." said Calvin
Calvin did have a friend there named Andrew Gordon; he was one of Calvin's surf students a long time ago and his friend. He owed Calvin a favor a while back and Calvin is using it to set them up on a trip to Rome. While Adam does question how Calvin knows someone who will easily set them up on a trip to Rome, Calvin tells him to just not think about it too hard.
In Rome, Italy, at the Flavian Amphitheatre, the security guards protecting it at night during closing hours. One of the guards thought he heard voices coming from inside the Amphitheatre. He went over to see who it was and detain him/her; he also called for backup when he arrived since he saw one of them holding a weapon. He pointed his gun at them and told them to put their hands in the air. However, one of them moved so fast that he knocked him out. The backup the guard called for came too, but they were taken down easily. The two digimon that took them all down were Kinkakumon and Aegiomon.
"Annoying humans! None of them have the heart of warriors." said Kinkakumon knocking down another guard
"Sister Kinkakumon! Why are we doing this for that human? He wants us to steal this Coliseum for him, yet we're getting nothing from him in return other than some money that has no value to us." said Aegiomon
"Relax brother Aegiomon, this will all work out. While we may be stealing this thing for him, we're just using him for our own ends. These devices may put the human monuments in a digital field that the human said it was supposed to be taken, but I plan on taking this place into the Digital World where it will stay on Venusmon Island in honor of our missing Queen. Just think about this as bringing honor back to our island." said Kinkakumon.
"Ok! Let's do this!" said Aegiomon
"Not yet! The portal won't open again until the next morning. We're going to have to wait until then and make sure no human is in here when this thing goes." said Kinkakumon
The next morning, after a very long flight, Calvin, Gomamon, Adam, and Salamon finally arrived in Rome, Italy. When they arrived, the checked into their hotel room and started to take in all the sights that they could, such as the nearby monuments, museums, and libraries; Adam came up with the itinerary himself in order to keep things on track. While they were seeing the sights, they ran into Andrew Gordon; he's a tall Caucasian teen that dresses up like a member of the band KISS.
"Rock n Roll! Good to see you again Calvin. You must be Adam." said Andrew as he appeared in front of them
"Nice to meet you. Why are you dressed up like a guy from the band KISS?" Adam asked him
"Because my friend….KISS Rocks. I idolize them and their music no matter how old it is." said Andrew giving the rock on symbol with his and sticking his tongue out.
"Ok!" said Adam with an awkward smile
"So where are your friends Gomamon and Salamon?" Andrew asked them.
"How do you know about them?" Adam asked him.
"I told Andrew about it. I figure that it didn't matter if one of my friends knew about it since it would make our stay in the hotel that his dad owns a lot more easier." said Calvin
"Don't worry, I'm an expert when it comes to keeping secrets. So where are they?" said Andrew
"In here. Nice to meet you Andrew; I'm Gomamon." said Gomamon in the digivice
"How did they get in those things?" Andrew asked Adam
"While we were on the long plane ride, I figured that I would explore my digivice a little more to see if there were more functions. I found out that we could put our digimon inside of it. When we landed, we tested it on Gomamon and Salamon and they immediately went inside our digivices. Now we can take them wherever we want without causing an uproar." said Adam explaining Andrew what he did
"Yeah, but I'm sure people would be cool with it if we explained what they are and what they are doing here." said Calvin
"Calvin, as much as I want to say how I know without a doubt there are holes in your logic, why don't we head over to our next destination." said Adam getting out his itinerary.
"Where are you guys going?" Andrew asked Adam.
"We were heading to the Flavian Amphitheatre." said Adam.
"Do you mean the Roman Coliseum?" said Calvin.
"Yes, that's what I said." said Adam.
"That might be a problem. I've heard rumors that there are two people dressed up in freak outfits there and they are fighting off anyone who tries to enter the place." said Andrew.
"Calvin, it's the digimon Datamon told us about." said Gomamon.
"What digimon that Datamon told you all about?" Salamon asked them.
"Oh yeah, I meant to tell you that before we got on the plane but it slipped my mind a bit. Datamon told me that some digimon are supposed to steal the Roman Coliseum. He said it was going to be used for fight camp for Lord D's digimon soldiers." said Calvin.
"What! You could have told me this sooner." said Adam with a frustrated and nervous look on his face.
"I was going to tell you, but I forgot. Relax man, we still have time before it supposed to disappear." said Calvin.
"How long?" Adam asked him.
"According to my watch and the watch that Datamon gave me when I arrived here, we have about 2 hours." said Calvin.
"Then we need to go now and fast; even though I don't want to go." said Adam panicking.
"Don't worry Adam, we have Calvin and Gomamon to help us now." said Salamon trying to cheer up Adam.
"I'll call Jankins and have the car brought around." said Andrew getting his phone out.
At the Flavian Amphitheatre, Kinkakumon and Aegiomon continued to take down any incoming forces trying to arrest them. They tied up any guards they defeated and knocked them out for good measure. Once they were done taking them down and setting up strange devices shaped like a bomb in the areas that they were told to put them in, they got a call, via a communication device, from Ford Diethard.
"Are the devices put in place?" Ford asked them.
"Yes, they are." said Kinkakumon.
"Excellent! The next portal back to the Digital World will be open soon. Just be sure to be on guard about the possibility of more humans coming to stop you." said Ford
"What do you want us to do with the humans we have tied up?" Aegiomon asked Ford
"You need not concern yourself with them. I'll have my friends in the Italian Secret Service cover up their disappearances as part of some training exercise. I'll see you all on the other side." said Ford
"Hold on! Before you hang up, I would like to make a change in our original deal." said Kinkakumon.
"Why would you want to change up our original deal? I promised you and Aegiomon a hefty sum of money by doing this. I also offered that I would use my vast network of Monitamon to help find your lost queen Venusmon." said Ford.
"Maybe next time you should know that Monitamon from the Monitamon Clan can be easily bought for a better deal. I paid one of them to give me all the finding that you supposedly had on her location. Or rather I should say, he gave me the location of our queen located in your building in the human world. Here's the deal: we'll give you this human monument in exchange for Queen Venusmon's return. Otherwise we'll take it back to our island forever." said Kinkakumon.
"You think you have any right to negotiate like that to me. Remember, I have bombs in your digital structure that can go off at any time. If you don't do as I say, I will detonate them right here and now and you two will fade away forever." said Ford.
"I take it you didn't listen to me about the Monitamon Clan; they can be bought with the right price. They found out how we can remove those bombs and we did it before we came here. Now you've hear my terms; fulfill them or you'll never get this monument. And don't bother trying to threaten Venusmon's destruction, we know she's too important for you to destroy in anyway. If you decide not to fulfil our terms, then we'll take this thing for ourselves. Have a nice day." said Kinkakumon.
"You think he'll negotiate?" Aegiomon asked.
"Hopefully!" said Kinkakumon.
"Hey you two! Stop what you're doing!" said Adam as he and the others were running into the middle of the Coliseum
"Yeah! You can't simply take the Roman Coliseum like that. That is so uncool." said Calvin
"Get out of our way humans." said Kinkakumon.
"This Coliseum belongs to us now." said Aegiomon.
"I don't think! Salamon, are you ready?" said Adam.
"Of course! Salamon digivolve to…..Darcmon" said Salamon digivolving into Darcmon.
"Gomamon, take them down, but don't make it too painful ok." said Calvin.
"Ok! Gomamon digivolve to….Ikkakumon." said Gomamon digivolving into Ikkakumon.
The two digimon began to charge toward Kinkakumon and Aegiomon; Darcmon faced off against Kinkakumon and Ikkakumon faced off against Aegiomon. Both Darcmon and Kinkakumon clashed swords with each other. While they were evenly matched, Kinkakumon got the upper hand. Kinkakumon retaliated with her move,Oni Explosive Funeral, which caused her to hit the ground with her weapons which hit Darcmon. Darcmon retaliated with Dancing Sword, which made her dance around while trying to hit Kinkakumon. Aegiomon was having trouble against Ikkakumon. Ikkakumon overwhelmed him with his size by simply stomping on him. Aegiomon used his move Attract Echo, which he used his syrinx to make Ikkakumon fall under spell that made him not only remove his foot but also made it easier for Aegiomon to retaliate with his other move Iron Trust, which makes him use his goat legs to kick. Then Kinkakumon and Aegiomon used their attacks to push Ikkakumon and Darcmon toward each other and the two repeatedly punched them both until they rammed into each other.
"You two are strong." said Darcmon
"We are warriors of Venusmon Island, one of the 12 islands in the Olympos Islands. Each island is ruled by one of the Olympos Xii." said Kinkakumon.
"You two were beaten the moment you arrived to face us.(noticing that Adam, Andrew, and Calvin are gone) Looks like your human friends abandoned you two." said Aegiomon.
"Not really! I think we've stalled long enough, don't you think Darcmon?" said Ikkakumon
"What!?" said Kinkakumon.
"Our friends are disabling all the devices that you're using to take this monument back to the Digital World. " said Darcmon.
"We have to stop them; we'll lose the only leverage we have to save Queen Venusmon." said Aegiomon trying to run from the fight.
"Icicle Coat!" said Ikkakumon letting out ice wind on the ground.
"The ground is made of ice. " said Kinkakumon.
"I can't stand on this for long; I'm going to fall." said Aegiomon.
"Stay Strong Aegiomon. We have to hurry and stop those humans" said Kinkakumon.
"You two aren't going anywhere. La Pucelle!" said Darcmon using both her swords to attack Aegiomon and Kinkakumon.
"Harpoon Torpedo!" said Ikkakumon firing a torpedo from his horn.
With those two final attacks, Ikkakumon and Darcmon took down Kinkakumon and Aegiomon. Elsewhere, Adam and Calvin were using their digivices to shut down all the devices that were hidden all over the place; they used the map and radar function of the digivice to shut them all down.
"Looks like we will have this all done sooner than expected." said Adam using his digivice to shut down a device.
"See, I told you this would all work out." said Calvin.
"It did, but only because we got lucky and we had the information Datamon gave you; I'm still mad that you almost forgot to mention this incident was supposed to occur." said Adam.
"To be honest, I didn't forget. I just said that in order to get you to actually want to go to since Lala asked me to do whatever I could to get you to handle this incident with me. So I had to lie a bit." said Calvin
"Not cool! I can't believe you lied to just get me to come here." said Adam.
"Hey, he did it so you wouldn't hesitate or act like a chicken like whatever happened last time. What happened Calvin?" said Andrew.
"I don't know! But Lala told me that you(Adam) was so scared that he couldn't make Salamon digivolve at one point. She also told me that you're scared about this whole thing." said Calvin.
"Aren't you scared?" Adam asked Calvin.
"A little, but I'm not too worried. Now that we know about it, we can do something about it; we have our partners to help us stop this evil future being ruled by this Lord D guy. You just have to relax Adam; it will all work out." said Calvin.
"Hey guys, I don't hear any battle sounds anymore." said Andrew.
"I hope that means Darcmon and Ikkakumon defeated them. Let's get this last device and then go check on them." said Adam
After they finished getting all the devices, they went back and found Kinkakumon and Aegiomon tied up. While they were tied up, Calvin noticed Aegiomon shedding a tear.
"What's wrong?" Calvin asked Aegiomon
"I'm sorry! Please forgive us. We didn't mean to cause any real harm to you humans." said Aegiomon
"Taking an ancient structure to the Digital World to be used as for a fight camp is going to harm us; this structure belongs to the people of Rome and the rest of the world." said Adam.
"Fight Camp? So that's what Ford Diethard was going to use this for?" said Kinkkakumon.
"Wait, who's Ford Diethard?" said Andrew.
"He's a human who hired us to steal this structure. He promised us that he would help us find our lost Queen Vensumon. However, we learned that he has her somewhere. " said Aegiomon.
"Your Queen is in the human world?" said Darcmon.
"Yes, but we don't know how that's possible." said Kinkkakumon.
"What do you mean?" said Ikkakkumon.
"Only Champion level digimon and below can enter the human world; Ultimate and Mega digimon can't enter your world due to human's primitive technology. We don't know how our Queen is here, but we have to assume that she was turned into a digiegg at some point and brought into the human world. We were going to use this coliseum as a bargaining chip to get her back since Ford wanted it so badly; but he never mentioned that he was going to use it for a fight camp." said Aegiomon
"We should probably contact Lala and Datamon and tell them about this right away." said Adam
(Just then another portal appears with a digimon coming out of it)
"Who are you?" said Darcmon.
"I am Lemon! I am a herald of Ebonwumon. I have come to get you two to come with me to the Digital World." said Leomon.
"Why?" said Adam
"Two of your comrades have engaged in a battle and one of them has activated the Sovereign Code inside of his body." said Leomon
"What's the Sovereign Code?" Adam said
"We can find out when we get there? Come on!" said Calvin as he and the others, except Andrew, went through the portal to the Digital World.
"See you guys later! Now I better get out of here before anyone else shows up." said Andrew as he left the area.
After they left, Clockmon arrived and used his powers to fix the entire Flavian Amphitheatre of any damage. While he was fixing the damage, someone in a black hood with strange characters made of silver appeared and patted Clockmon on the head
Back in Ford's office, he was angry that the mission failed again thanks to those children and Kinkakumon and Aegiomon double crossing them; one of his other Monitamon reported what happened. He then looked at a file that he on a person and said "You're my last hope; you better follow through with the mission I gave you"; the file he had was on Talia.
If anyone is confused as to where this takes place, the battle and most of this story as a whole took place right at the same time Grizzlymon Forest was ending. This episode, Grizzlymon Forest, and William vs Max are taking place at the same time in the span of a few days that I keep mentioning. The next chapter of course will be William vs. Max. Here are the next few questions I have for you.
Royal Knights! Which one do you want to see make an appearance in the next episode?
How do you all feel about Lala right now and what do you want to learn about her?
What Ultimate level digimon do you want to see fight in a future episode?
