Chapter 14

Ultimate Betrayal Part 1

Victor had been glad that he was able to barter for the use of an Ark. This Ark had been Monzaemon's personal ride. It was pink and filled with toys. He'd seen them on the cartoon and was glad that they were real. However, this Ark didn't have the auto-pilot feature that was on the show and he was flying it with an interface that reminded him of the Taelon shuttles from Earth: Final Conflict.

"So Victor," Ebidramon said to him. "What's the plan?"

"Simple we find the Sovereign and attempt to delete him," Victor told his partner.

"We can all become our mega forms and it should be pretty simple to delete him."

Etemon laughed. Victor would have turned his head but that might change the Ark's course.

"What's your problem?" Victor asked.

"You humans can be a little too arrogant at times. The Sovereign is the most powerful digimon in the world. You don't expect five megas to delete him. It's impossible. It can't be done," Etemon told them.

"Etemon," Alicia swiftly scolded her partner. "We have to try. If we don't, then the Sovereign could keep sending digimon into my world and all hell could break loose. Just like it did in Washington."

Brian, Tinymon, Roy and Elecmon were in a library looking at a few books. Something was troubling Brian.

"Roy, what do you know of the Sovereign?" He asked.

"Well, he is Ebowdomon. You know, he looks like a two headed turtle that has trees growing out of his back. He doesn't really have any interest of sending digimon to the real world," Roy replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Because the reason we came here to this world was to try and stop the Sovereign because one of the digimon we deleted had yelled out 'For My Sovereign!'" Brian said to him.

Roy had a grin on his face. "You guys have to be on crack. Look, about a couple of months ago, there were rumours of a new Mega-level digimon that is organizing a rebellion. However we don't know where he is," Roy told him.

"Then my friends could be after the wrong digimon," Brian said.

"Exactly. We may want to stop them," Roy said.

"Perhaps we can help," a voice said then the world went black for the four of them.

"We're running out of fuel," Victor said. "I'm setting us down."

Victor set the Ark down. When he finally landed, the Ark broke apart into data particles. The Tamer shook his head.

"Monzaemon's not going to like this," he said.

They continued to walk until they came across what appeared to be a train station. April noticed a train was in the station. The Tamers approached the train slowly because in this world, nothing was as it appeared to be.

"Hello," the train bellowed.

"OH MY GOD!" Levi yelled. "WHAT THE HELL SAID THAT!"

"It was me you moron," the train said as data came up on April's D-Ark.

"Trainmon. Train Virus Type digimon," April read off.

"Do you need to go anywhere?" Trainmon asked.

"Actually could you take us to see the Sovereign?" Victor asked.

"Well, that's on my way. Hop in," he said.

The Tamers hopped in and the Trainmon sped down the tracks at a great velocity. Bunnymon was busy gnawing on a carrot. April was drinking a cup of tea. Victor was

staring at the holo-map. Jessica was drinking her twenty-seventh cup of coffee that morning. She brought a cup over to Victor who accepted the cup.

"Worried?" She asked.

"You could tell," he said back.

"You have the same look every time you are," she replied.

"Well, you're right. I am," Victor said.

"About what?" Jessica asked.

"A lot of things," Victor said taking a sip of coffee. "I'm worried about what will happen. I'm worried for the safety of everyone here. I'm worried about Brian and his new friend. I'm worried about the fact that if we fail, nothing is going to be able to stop the evil digimon from destroying the real world."

"You seem like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, Victor. But you're not in this alone. Each one of us knows what might happen and we've accepted it. We knew the risks and we've accepted them. That's why we're here. Victor let us lighten your load," Jessica said setting down the coffee. Then, Jessica kissed him gently on the lips.

Victor was about to reply when Trainmon suddenly stopped. The Tamer ran out of the digimon and Victor saw two digimon. His D-Ark came up with the information.

"BlackMangaAngemon. Fallen Angel Virus type digimon. Ultimate level. Special Attack is Devil's Gate," Victor read off. "Etemon. Monkey Virus Type digimon. Ultimate level. Special Attacks are…"

Victor's D-Ark went blank as CrusaderBunnymon appeared and used her Carrot Sword and deleted both digimon.

"Did we really have time to wait?" April asked him after she reverted back to human form.

They got back onto the train and they sped off again. Soon, they arrived at a large city.

"I believe this is your stop. The Sovereign's Palace is in the centre of the city," Trainmon said.

"Thank you!" Everyone exclaimed in unison as the digimon sped away.

The group of humans and digimon walked toward the centre of the city. At many times, they were tempted to stop and look at some interesting things but they knew that now wasn't the time. Now, they had to save the world from the Sovereign.

Roy was chained to a wall as were Brian, Elecmon and Tinymon. He saw his digimon kidnappers enter the room.

"You may be wondering why we kidnapped you," Jijimon said.

"Well the thought had crossed my mind," Roy said with a smile. "Maybe we could talk better without chains."

"Merely a precautionary measure for our safety," Jijimon said tapping his staff. The chains disappeared and the Tamers and their digimon got up.

"We have received reports of a group of humans who are moving to delete our Sovereign, Ebowdomon. Are you those humans?" Jijimon asked.

"Well, I use to be until circumstances caused me to find out about the rebels. However the rest of my friends don't know this," Brian told him.

"This may be bad. We have reports of a rebel Tamer that has infiltrated your group of friends. They picked this Tamer up recently and already has proven themselves," Jijimon said.

"What do you need help with?" Elecmon asked stepping forward.

"We know they are moving towards the Sovereign's Palace. We want the two of you to be at the front gate with your digimon partners of course. You will have to figure out who is the rebel Tamer. Trust me this will be hard to do," Jijimon said activating a warp gate.

Brian, Roy, Tinymon and Elecmon ran through the gate and found themselves at the front gate. It wasn't long before they saw the other Tamers arrive.

"Brian!" Victor exclaimed. "Glad you could be here. We found this girl, April. She's great in battle. I also found my brother, Brett."

Brian first looked at April. She wore blue jeans and a light blue tank top. Her pink and blue D-Ark was clipped to a belt loop. Her partner, Bunnymon, was busy cleaning her face. The bunny was sneezing a little from the dust. When she was done cleaning herself, she pulled out a carrot and began to have a snack.

"Brian," Jessica said. "What's going on?"

Brian looked at Brett. He was a perfect mirror of Victor except for minor differences. Brett's face had a goatee. He wore a lot a black leather and Brian saw the black D-Ark clipped to the jacket. Brian also noticed his partner, DarkEbidramon.

"Everyone step away from Brett," Brian ordered them. "He's not who you think he is."

"Brian what's going on?" Jessica asked repeating herself.

"Roy and I found out that there was an evil Tamer recently arrived in your group," Brian said.

Victor, Jessica, Levi, Alicia and Brett turned to look at April. She was filing her nails when she noticed them staring at her. "What?" she asked.

"Brian you've gone off the deep end if you think its April," Victor said.

"Victor maybe those goggles are pinching off the flow of blood to your brain," Brian said taking Victor's goggles off. "It's your brother. I'm going to have to kill him."

Brian stepped forward and Victor stepped into his path.

"I'm not going to let you do it," Victor told him.

"You can't stop me," Brian replied.

"Oh yes I will," Victor said slugging Brian in the jaw.

Brian fell to the ground. He picked himself up off the ground and rubbed his jaw.

"Nice shot. But let's settle this the way they do it here," Brian said pulling out his D-Ark. "The Sovereign in this palace isn't the enemy and if you understand this, I guess I'll have to pound it into you."

"Bring it on," Victor said.
