Digimon: X-Evolution
Part 6
Alphamon and Yggdrasil
Royal Knights Server, New World
As the lights faded around me, I stood in the spot where I was once laying down in, now on two legs again and this time, standing up straight and not hunched over. I felt new power flowing through me and it felt….familiar somehow. I saw glimpse of my past, before I was Dorumon, flashing through my mind's eye. I saw Omegamon blink as he looked at me in bewilderment and what looked like to be awe.
"You are...?"
"It can't be!" Magnamon gaped.
"I am Alphamon." I stated, my voice was the same but it was sounding more mature and authoritative than before.
"That's impossible! While I'm looking at Alphamon...such was said to never exist! An apparition. A legend among the Royal Knights!" Magnamon stated, seemingly wanting to deny that I was standing there, in front of him.
"Even so, here I stand, and thanks to you, I now know what I must do. I cannot excuse Yggdrasil's intervention in this." I stared into Omegamon's eyes as I said this, seeing if he still wanted to fight me.
"Dukemon led you here for that reason." He stated with a realization Then, he put his Garuru arm across his chest. "I have confirmed and I will acknowledge you. Come, and together we shall bear witness."
As he said that, a shiver went up my spine for a reason I didn't want to touch yet- I wasn't quite ready to acknowledge that that rather pleasant shiver meant. I watched as he turned and started walking and I followed suit.
"Stop!" Magnamon shouted as he came in front of us. "The Royal Knights are to protect the order of the Digital World! For the future, that is what you always said! Is this order?"
"Seems you have only just realized...When the order of the Digital World begins to collapse, Yggdrasil's order is something to be concerned about." Omegamon told Magnamon.
"The Royal Knights never move unless told, you will still go without waiting for such a gracious command?!"
"I will go. Just as my dear friend Dukemon would have done."
"This is troublesome." I spoke up, making Omegamon look over at me. "Our friends are in trouble. All Digimon face a state of crisis, yet you still hold high your holy words? A knight knows what orders to follow, and what orders to question. Blind loyalty will only get you so far."
Omegamon and I started to walk once more, passing Magnamon before we were teleported to a strange place.
In front of us was some sort of Digimon I couldn't quite see. it has its wings shielding its appearance from us.
"Who are you?" Omegamon asked. The thing let out a squawk as it moved its head from behind its wings.
"This is…" I began to mumble once I realized just what it was. It was a Death-X-dorugoramon that was created using some of my data from the looks of it from when I was captive thanks to Magnamon. I could see that it has its sights set on me. I quickly got into a fighting stance before glancing over at Omegamon.
"Omegamon, stay out of this fight." I told him. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him look at me as if I was crazy and I couldn't blame it, it did sound like I was crazy for telling him not to interfere. It jumped at us and we quickly jumped away. Omegamon blasted its wing with his cannon, disregarding my order, which did nothing to the wing. It looked between us, as if deciding on who to target it first, before targeting Omegamon. He managed to dodge its claws and he countered by slicing off some of its feathers before it used the ball on its tail to hit him. He was sent flying into the wall and fell onto his front with a grunt. I felt anger coursing through me as I saw this happening and held up my hand, a green energy coming from it.
"Digitalize of Soul!"
multiple energy shots flew through the air and hit it, tearing it apart piece by piece. I lowered by hand before looking over at Omegamon once I managed to mask my anger.
"Let us go." I told him and we flew up to the floating sphere above.
We made it in and we stood before a podium type crystal with a clear sphere sitting of it.
"This is...Yggdrasil?" Omegamon asked, a little taken back. I was as well but managed to recover quickly.
"I wish to see Yggdrasil. Where is your core? What are you really trying to accomplish?" I spoke calmly.
"I wish to know as well. Why must Project Ark be executed with such overpowering force?" Omegamon asked. We were met with silence.
"Yggdrasil, if you intend on on remaining silent, you better prepare yourself." I warned.
"No matter what we do, there is no way we'll get out in one piece." Omegamon told me as I looked over to him.
"Magnamon has already warned Yggdrasil of our coming. We are traitors." He finished. I clenched my fists.
"If Yggdrasil insists on remaining silent, then there is only one option." I told him.
"This might be the end of everything…"
"Then, what will we learn from this?"
"There is only one thing I'm sure of...no matter what we do, at this rate. the Digital World will be destroyed."
"Then…" I turned to him.
"We cannot stand Idly by." He looked back. We turned back to it and I charged up my power as Omegamon got out his sword and cannon, readying himself. We started to fly towards the sphere when what looked like to be the crystallized Digimon that I had fought before came out of the ground. I quickly took care of them as Omegamon flew off, sending a blast to Yggdrasil, which didn't work. I turned back to my opponents and finished the last of them in record time.
I looked over and saw that Omegamon was in a creature's hold and I quickly flew over. It sent a green beam towards him and I got in front of him just in time, allowing the beam to hit my back. I turned around once the beam died down, held out my arm and started to move it a certain way.
"Ultimate Battle Blade OURYUKEN!"
I pulled out my sword and with a swift move, I cut its wrist, making it let Omegamon go. I felt a sudden pain on my wrist at the same time and looked down, seeing that it was also cut. I looked at the large Digimon before attacking once more. It's wings came up and I sliced some of the feathers off. Suddenly, the same thing happened to mine and I went down to the ground, landing on my feet. I straightened myself and compared our wounds to each others. Same type of wound on our wrists, our cut feathers, It all makes sense now. It seemed to realize that I had put two and two together and let out a laugh.
"So, that's how it is…" I stated softly before stealing my resolve, I knew what I had to do. I jumped up in the air, in front of it and threw my sword. It came back Like a boomerang and went threw my middle as well as the creature's behind me. It was sent falling back and landed harshly. Omegamon jumped and flew up to me, shock evident in his eyes.
"What is the meaning of this?"
I didn't answer him right away. Instead, I put a hand to my chest and pulled a glowing orb from within my it.
"I entrust this to you…" I breathed as I held it out for him.
"I can't, but what about…"
"He is my shadow…" I told him honestly. I could see that he was trying to make sense of everything, so I decided to keep talking.
"If I hadn't met my friends...I would have became this." My strength failed and my arm started to fall limp. Omegamon caught my hand with the nose of his Garuru hand.
"I might have been just like him, however, I am proud to have met you all in this Digital world. I give my life over to you." I finished with a smile behind my mask. He hesitantly took the orb within is Garuru hand and a flash of white lit the room up before it died down. Omegamon's appearance changed, almost drastically. With another flash, my shadow was gone and I was falling. I felt someone catching me gently and everything went black.
