Chapter 7: Hands played.
They are my Chosen. I should not have expected less. Very well. So far most of them have confessed their dreams. Poor Daisuke. He must hurt. Believe me
my child I did not intend this to happen. To any of you. This pain must be
felt before you can understand mine. You hold my fate in your hands. Humph. A Risen's life in the hands of mere humans. Child humans at that. Caleb laughs every time He thinks of
it. But he is not better. He puts too much into his precious viruses. But they are our charges. The humans are the only things we do not create. I created the Data DigiMon. Caleb created the Virus's. We both created Vaccines. We also put forth the In-Betweeners like
Gennai. He was the best. The others perished thanks to Caleb's
Virus' I told him it was a mistake to
make the In-Betweeners like the others. They had to help put balance in the world. We, being Caleb and I, could not hope to monitor every bit of
activity in our world. Caleb told me it
would fine. I trusted him then. Piemon broke that trust. I had to pick the humans that would lead the
balance in this world of mine. I chose
well. Their births triggered an emotion in me. Love. I had to find out if it
was real. Sending that Koromon to meet
Taichi and Hikari was only the beginning. Each child that failed before that never remembered the event. They proved to be the ones. I was never allowed to meddle in the human's
lives. The digital world was mine. But I was given special permission for my
Chosen. Jehovah and Lucifer both took
interest in our project. It was millennia
in making. Each world not knowing of
the other until…human years…1975. I
knew it was time to begin. It took me
until 1983 I figured as much. Eight human years. My Chosen began to grow. Then when the time was right I tested them. They passed that test. Gennai and his crew began preparing their partners. Caleb foiled that one. I warned him not to interfere. His Virus' would have to learn to survive
with competition. It was that
simple. I wrote each and every prophecy
they got. Gennai was good for
that. It was them that made them come
true though. Predestination had nothing
to do with it. Human Free Will takes
care of that. With each test they grew
weary. I am sorry for that. But it had to be done. They needed to be strong. Their final test is soon. Then I begin anew. If I survive that long. Final test. That's what I said
when I allowed Ken to become Kaiser. Kaiser, emperor. More like
Digi-dictator. Both sides passed that
test. Ken is the most valuable
member. He has the most to lose. I could not help his brother. I was not supposed to help him. However, Caleb's petty virus got to him. I could have killed Caleb for that one. He was not supposed to monitor them. These Chosen were mine. The World Chosen are special but they are
not like the Odaiba ones. Each one has
a piece of me in them. Each trait I
created for the Crests, each DigiVice, and shares with that child the strongest
trait they have. They already knew
that. I let Caleb test them one last
time. MaloMyotismon was not supposed to
be. We gave them free will. Like humans. This one though sought too much. Greed and Power consumed him. Once again I warned Caleb. He
told me to leave him alone. So I did. I knew my new Odaiba Chosen could handle
it. I became greedy as well. I wanted my Chosen to mate with one
another. This allowed that their
offspring would be stronger and better suited for being Chosen. But I meddled in the wrong lives. I allowed their relationships to
blossom. This broke my heart beyond
belief. The wrong couples ended up
together. And that's where my story
begins here. Ahh. They have just finished with Yamato. They are all acting accordingly. Just wait until Ken gets up there. Poor soul. He was my greatest tragedy. He
is afraid of his power. I did that to
him. Gods help my soul. He will hate me. I must make this a game. It is the only way. I am playing
against a stacked deck. But they have
to play. Both of our fates depend on
it. By disallowing Digi Volving I have made
the playing field level. We shall
see. Ken…Oh…My heart breaks every time
I listen to him. So alone. We are so much alike. But at least he can blame frailty and
ignorance for his actions. I
cannot. Well they are done. They need sleep, they have done much. I will invite them.
Correct Sora. But I think she knew that. She is not dumb. Ditzy but not dumb. Very
Good, you passed this test. In the
morning I will allow you to meet me. Sleep Well my Chosen.
