Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.
Author's Note: Yay, chapter 10 is done. And with it the last of the 3 chapters that happen during the same day. So anyway, this is what happened during Matt's day while Veronica, George and Lizzie fought Gigadramon and Big B fought Garudamon X. This chapter didn't turn out as long a I thought it would, since the battle scene ended up much shorter that I had imagined. Anyway enjoy and remember: Read and Review.
Author's Note 2: I'm ending the kudos bar contest, even though I only got one response to it. The hidden movie allusion was when Andromon said "Garudamon X, you have been targeted for termination." in a reference to 'The Terminator' with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Though I've been told that the shrinking device could be seen as an allusion to 'Honey, I shrunk the kids'.
Chapter 10
Matt was enjoying the breakfast Flamedramon had ordered made for him. Leormon was sitting next to him practically inhaling his food.
"I can see that you like the food." Flamedramon stated the obvious.
"Yup." Matt replied in between gulps.
"Good. I have something for you. I noticed you didn't have a backpack, so here you have one. It's filled with meat and a drinking bottle of water. I also provided this cloak, that can be worn as a cape, since there's a desert nearby." Flamedramon said, handing Matt the items.
"Wow, thanks." Matt responded, taking time off from his food fest to take the items. After the meal, Leormon, Matt and Flamedramon went to the courtyard to say their goodbyes.
"Farewell, young Digidestined. I hope you find you friends." Flamedramon said, extending his claw in form of a handshake.
"I hope your master returns soon, so that you can continue your training." Matt replied, shaking the claw.
"Ah yes, my master would've loved to meet you. Too bad he's away. I wonder were he is anyway." Flamedramon stated.
"Well, I'm right here." A voice said from above the castle gate. Everybody looked up to see another Veemon-like Digimon in golden armor. Matt didn't waste time to try out his DigiScan.
Name: Magnamon
Level: (Golden) Armor
Type: Exalted Knight
Attribute: Vaccine
Attack(s): Magna Blast(er) (Plasma sho(o)t) / Magna Explosion (Aura Barrier) / Magna Punch / Magna Kick / Miracle Glitter / Light Aura Barrier / Plasma Blast
Info: Magnamon is the Armor Digivolved form of Veemon through the Digi-Egg of Miracles. He is one of the Royal Knights who can travel at the speed of light, wearing Gold Digizoid armor on his body; he is the only Royal Knight who is an Armor level, however, his strength is equal to the power of Mega.
"What happened to him?" Matt said, looking from the DigiScan-picture to the real one. The real Magnamon was pretty banged up: one of his armguards was gone, one of his shoulderpads was partially gone, one of the horns on his head was missing and the rest of his armor was cracked all over.
"Lord Magnamon, you've returned." Flamedramon gasped, dropping to one knee, the others following his example. Even Leormon kneeled before him.
"Matt, that's a Royal Knight. You have to kneel." Leormon growled. Matt didn't really like it but did so anyway.
"Well what do we have here? A Digidestined?" Magnamon asked.
"Yes, I'm Matt and this is my partner: Leormon." Matt said, gesturing to the small lion next to him.
"Well then, you'll be the first Digidestined to taste defeat at my hands." Magnamon sneered.
"What!" Leormon, Matt and Flamedramon gasped.
"You heard me. The Royal Knights have changed their priorities ever since Omnimon disappeared. Now, our priority is to find and destroy all the Digidestined. PLASMA BLAST!" Magnamon explained, before launching a ball of golden energy at Matt and Leormon.
"FIRE ROCKET!" Flamedramon leapt forward, surrounded by fire and rammed the Plasma Shot aside.
"Leormon, it's go time!" Matt jumped upright as well, taking his Digivice.
"Leormon digivolve to … Liomon!"
"Flamedramon, you think you can stop me? Even with the help of Liomon you're no match for me." Magnamon grinned.
"You have changed, master. I will not follow your orders if you insist on killing the Digidestined." Flamedramon growled.
"Then you will die along with them. MAGNA EXPLOSION!" Magnamon roared, unleashing a wave of golden energy from his body. The attack struck and knocked Flamedramon to his back and Liomon fell over as well. One more attack and it would all be over.
"Say your prayers. MAGNA BLAST!" Magnamon cackled, firing golden energy bullets at the Digimon.
"TENSEGRITY SHIELD!" a Digimon landed between Magnamon and Liomon and Flamedramon, seemingly holding up a shield. The Digimon had big blue wings, but they seemed torn up and though and one of the horns on his head was broken off as well.
Name: UlforceVeedramon
Level: Mega
Type: Exalted Knight
Attribute: Vaccine
Attack(s): The Ray of Victory (Shining V Force) /UlForce Saber / Tensegrity Shield
Info: UlforceVeedramon wears armor made of the light Blue Chrome Digizoid, which specializes in speed. Thus, he is the fastest of the Royal Knights. His sword and shield can be extended from the V-Bracelets he wears. Most Digimon's "Overwrite Sequences", which allow them to act, deplete over their lifespan, but this Dragon Knight has the ability to use "UlForce", a holy version of the Overwrite Sequence that allows him to regenerate faster than even direct deletion techniques can keep up with.
"Wow, he's really busted up too. And he's a Royal Knight who is helping us?" Matt said. When the onslaught ended and UlforceVeedramon stood up it was noticeable that his V-Bracelets were cracked. Liomon also changed back to Leormon.
"Well well, brother, it seems I underestimated you. I thought that blast would've killed you for sure." Magnaman said to UlforceVeedramon.
"It would have, brother, if not for my Tensegrity Shield." UlforceVeedramon glared at Magnamon.
"Brother? What's going on here?" Matt asked confused.
"Magnamon and UlforceVeedramon are twins but they always had this rivalry going. UlforceVeedramon was more of a fighter and digivolved to Mega at a rapid pace. This left Magnamon lagging but he found a Digimental: the Digimental of Miracles and he used it to digivolve to his present state. Both of them were asked to join the Royal Knights shortly after." Flamedramon slowly explained.
"Great. We ended up in a sibling rivalry." Matt sighed, having his own rivalry with his sister and brother (though not so far as to actually fight).
"I'm taking you down right now! MAGNA PUNCH!" Magnamon roared at UlforceVeedramon after hearing his tale recounted.
"TENSEGRITY SHIELD!" UlforceVeedramon countered, raising his shield again to block the punch.
"SHINING V FORCE!" UlforceVeedramon continued, blasting Magnamon with an energybeam from the V-crest on his chest at point-blank range. The ensuing blast also swallowed UlforceVeedramon though.
"Coward!" Magnamon roared in anger as he got up again, his armor starting to fall apart.
"If I have to fight cowardly to prevent you from killing the Digidestined, then so be it." UlforceVeedramon replied, getting up quite shakily as well. At closer inspection of his left wrist one could see his V-bracelet was broken in half, meaning he couldn't use his Tensegrity Shield anymore.
"MAGNA BLAST!" Magnamon fired another stream of energy bullets at UlforceVeedramon. Not having his shield to protect him, he took the full brunt of the attack.
"Look at you, kneeling before me." Magnamon cackled as UlforceVeedramon fell to his knees.
"N – N – Never!" UlforceVeedramon's quiet stutter went into a shout as he leapt at his brother. However Magnamon just sidestepped the tackle. UlforceVeedramon skidded to a halt on the other side of the courtyard. They were staring each other down now, ready to make a next move.
"My brother, the time has come to put an end to this meaningless conflict. Only the end of this rivalry will bring peace to the world. Whatever the cost, whatever power must be opposed, whoever I have to face, even if that is you. Farewell … my … brother." UlforceVeedramon said, extending his UlForce Saber before charging at Magnamon.
"I will finish … what we started. Farewell … my … brother." Magnamon said, charging up his fist into a Magna Punch before charging at UlforceVeedramon. They met in the middle of the courtyard and created a huge explosion. When the smoke and dust cleared two objects could be seen on the ground: a blue digi-egg and a golden box.
"The master is gone. All that is left is the Digi-egg of Miracles." Flamedramon said, extending his claw to grab the box-like item. However it briefly glowed and disappeared in a flash of light.
"Now, all is gone." Flamedramon sighed in defeat.
"You still have this digi-egg. Since he reformed here it must mean that he's a chosen one." Matt said.
"Yes, you should take the egg with you, for the sake of the DigiWorld." Flamedramon replied, picking up the egg and handing it to Matt.
"Are you sure?" Matt asked.
"Yes, and you should go, you've lost enough time as it is." Flamedramon started pushing them through the gate.
"But, I'm the cause of all this. I should help repair the damage." Matt countered. Leormon, having regained a lot of energy from playing unconscious during the battle, walked next to them.
"Please, if one of the Knightmon swings his sword, a wall mostly collapses." Flamedramon grinned.
"Well, if you really insist." Matt muttered, taking the backpack and putting the egg in it before swinging it back onto his back and throwing the cloak over him.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Leormon said as a form of goodbye.
"I hope we'll meet again." Matt said.
"I have a feeling we will." Flamedramon said as he waved them off.

That night, Matt was sitting next to a fire with the digi-egg next to him. Leormon was asleep and Matt was on guard duty for the first half of the night. Suddenly he heard a cracking noise. At first he was startled but he soon realized it was the egg hatching. Out of it came a small round blue Digimon. He quickly took his DigiScan to find out what Digimon it was.
Name: Chibomon
Level: Fresh
Type: Slime
Attribute: Data
Attack(s): Bubble Blow
Info: Chibomon is friendly and sociable, always brimming with curiosity, but is quite weak. However, it is able to digivolve into any Dragon Digimon.
"A dragon? Cool! Hey there little fellow, how you doing." Matt muttered to himself before turning to Chibomon. Chibomon jumped straight into Matt's arms where Matt held it close to him.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of you. You should sleep a little so you won't be tired for our journey tomorrow." Matt soothed. Chibomon nodded and nestled itself against Leormon, falling asleep rather quickly.
"Well, I guess that's some extra protection for me." Matt chuckled, gazing into the distance.
Another chosen Digimon? And this one was a Royal Knight? Will Matt find his friends in the desert? Find out in the next chapter of "Digidestined from Belgium".
Author's Note: Okay, so first of, this chapter turned out extremely short (though still too long to combine with the previous chapter). Matt finally has his second partner and the Royal Knights make their first (but certainly not their last) appearance. The last words of UlforceVeedramon and Magnamon are the exact words from the trailer of 'ArchLord' (an online MMO), I had only recently finished the first chapter when I first saw that trailer and the moment I heard that speech I thought to myself: "I have to use that in my story.". I ended up using it earlier than I planned though, since I was going to save this for the final battle and use the actual text (I replaced 'my friend' with 'my brother' in my story), but I abandoned that plot for the most part. I also had to take a wild guess at a certain point of the trailer as to what was said so I decided to type 'must be opposed'. I don't know what else to mention except that you can find the trailer of ArchLord here: .com/pc/rpg/archlord/video/6147298/archlord-official-trailer-3?tag=videos;title;4
