Chapter 4: Royalty and Digidestined
"Taichi? Do you think what Genai said was true?" Mimi asked.
"I don't know, Mimi, what do you think Augumon?" Taichi asked.
"I remember that there used to be a bunch of rulers on File Island, but I don't know about here on Server," Augumon replied.
"Now that I think about it, wasn't the King's name Takeru?" Palmon asked.
"Takeru?" Taichi asked.
"Yeah, I remember now. He was the ruler of the mountain province of File Island," Augumon said.
"What are you guys talking about? Are you saying that Takeru is like Hikari? That he has powers too?" Mimi asked.
"Well, we don't know," Palmon said.
"Come on, let's keep looking for the royal seal," Taichi said

"Well do you know what this royal symbol looks like?" Joe asked Gomamon.
"No," he replied.
"What do you mean, no!" Joe yelled.
"I mean I don't know what it looks like," he replied calmly.
"Oh that's just great!" Joe yelled.
"Calm down, Joe. It can't be too hard to find," Koushirou stated.
"You know…I was thinking about something, I remember their was a king of the mountain province on File Island…I just can't remember his name," Tentomon stated.
"Yeah, so, what's that got to do with Hikari?" Joe asked.
"Well, he was in love with Queen Hikari, but because of the distance between Server and File Island, they could never be together for very long," Tentomon explained.
"Is there a point to this?" Koushirou asked.
"Yes…if I could remember what his name was, he would probably do anything to help his love," Tentomon stated.
"Yeah…but didn't he die protecting her from Myotismon too?" Gomamon asked.
"Oh, yeah…I forgot," he said.
"Then it's possible that this king of yours could have been reincarnated as any one of the digidestined," Koushirou said.
"TAKERU!" Joe yelled.
"What!" Koushirou asked.
"Takeru is this king that they're talking about. It makes sense don't you think?" Joe asked.
"I guess so, they're always hanging around with each other, and when Takeru first met Hikari he was protecting her," Koushirou thought.
"So if we can unlock both of their powers, Ladymyotismon wouldn't stand a chance," Tentomon said.
"Let's go then," Joe said as they continued their search.

"Yamato-chan? What do you think it is that we're looking for?" Sora asked.
"I don't know, maybe some sort of stone carving, a statue…I don't know. Did you just call me Yamato-chan?" he asked changing the subject. Sora's hands quickly covered her mouth.
"Yes she did! I heard her! By the way…what does that mean anyway?" Biyomon asked.
"Yeah Yamato…what does it mean when she calls you 'chan'?" Gabumon asked.
"Well, um…" Yamato started to say.
"I'm sorry Yamato…I shouldn't have…" Sora apologized.
"It's okay, Sora-chan. We are dating, and I like it when you call me that," Yamato said as he hugged her. Sora blushed when she noticed that Biyomon and Gabumon were watching them.
"But right now we should worry about helping Hikari," he finished.
"You know Yamato…I felt like Genai wasn't telling us everything he knew about these so called royalties of the Digital World. I mean…there was definitely more than just Hikari," Sora said.
"I know…do you guys know anything about them?" Yamato asked the Digimon.
"Well, we weren't supposed to say anything, but on File Island, Takeru was our King," Gabumon answered.
"What! But that's impossible!" Yamato yelled.
"No it's not. The same thing happened to King Takeru that happened to Queen Hikari. He was visiting Server and was protecting the queen when Myotismon killed him. He was reborn and your brother Takeru," Biyomon said.
"But why didn't Genai tell us?" Sora asked.
"He wanted the two of them to find out for themselves. Besides, he thought that Hikari was going out with Daisuke," Gabumon answered.
"Should we go tell them?" Sora asked.
"No…we're going to keep looking for that symbol," Yamato said as they walked down the hall. In the shadows Genai, Leomon, and Ogermon were watching them.
"It was only a matter of time," Leomon said.
"I know…I just hope they find it soon, or both of our worlds are doomed," Genai said.
