Ancient Legacy

"It all started four years before the D-Reaper's invasion," Yamaki continued, "There was this princess named Kari. She ran away from her lessons to hang with her best friend, a noble named TK. When her brother Tai went to look for her, both of the children disappeared. Instantly, Tai went to find TK's brother Matt. The two boys were both royal pages, in training to be knights. They got help from a girl named Sora, who was a fellow trainee. She recommended a sorceress named Mimi to help with finding them."

"How did the two children get found?" asked Jeri.

Yamaki stated, "Mimi divined their location from the many dimensions out there. She opened a portal to that dimension, in order to get to them. That was the first portal between the Real World and Digital World. Once there, they met up with an Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, and Palmon who became their partners. When they finally found the kids, they learned that they had been rescued from a wicked Digimon named Myotismon by a Gatomon and Patamon. But they did nothing about the enemy. All six children returned to the Real World, without a second thought to him."

Takato looked up. "It was a big mistake, wasn't it?"

"You've got that right," said Yamaki, "Four years later, Myotismon returned. Turns out he only kidnapped the children in order to get someone to open a portal between the worlds. From that start, he could open many portals in between the worlds. Through them, he sent his loyal Digimon hordes to conquer the world. But the six children, their partners, and their other friends - - Izzy, Joe, Yolei, Davis, Ken, and Cody - - as well as the Digimon partners of those friends - - Tentomon, Gomamon, Hawkmon, Veemon, Wormmon, and Armadillomon - - fought them off with ease."

"Myotismon didn't like that, didn't he?" asked Takato.

Yamaki replied, "No, he didn't. So he summoned a great entity that had been sleeping within Digital World to attack the humans. That was the D-Reaper."

Jeri looked shocked. "How did they take care of it if it was all powerful."

"Davis went into the Digital World, followed by Kari, TK, and Yolei," Yamaki told them, "They searched for the way to stop the D-Reaper once and for all. That's when they found the Giant Sword. It had the power to draw on the Spirits' energy in order to attack its enemies. Davis wielded it in battle against the D-Reaper, and defeated it with the help of his friends and their Digimon. But they couldn't kill it completely. So he simply sealed it away with the energy of the four spirits in another dimension. Then the sword was divided into the three treasures, the Crystal Sword, Enchanted Jewel, and Spirit Sword. You are a descendant of Davis, Takato. The power to use the weapons runs in your veins."

"Yamaki, we were attacked by Efreet in the canyon. He turned into a card," said Takato.

Yamaki exclaimed, "He actually attacked! I knew calling on the spirits would get me some protection in this valley. But I didn't expect you to be the victim. Well, it's a good thing that you got that card, it contains Efreet's power. That could help you in your journey. I will also give you this." He picked a small card with a picture of a fairy woman off of the shelf and handed it to the boy. "This is Sylphid's card, it contains the power of the Spirit of Wind. It might just come in handy too."

Takato looked at both cards. "The power of the spirits. If we could get all four together, as well as the three treasures, we might be able to stop Galneon's wicked scheme."

"But Galneon has the first treasure," Yamaki reminded them, "So you should step up your search for the other two. By the way, Jeri, doesn't the royal family protect the Enchanted Jewel."

"It's hidden in the Ice Mine," Jeri replied.

Suddenly, the door was broken down. In came Ryo with a horde of Goblimon. He reached out and grabbed Jeri by the collar. Then he put a knife to her throat.

Takato yelled, "Let her go Ryo! What do you want with the princess anyway?"

Ryo looked defiant. "I am going to take her to the Ice Mine with me. The lovely princess Jeri will help me find the long lost Enchanted Jewel for Lord Galneon. And you are going to be killed. Attack my Goblimon." With that, Ryo dragged Jeri out of the room, and the Goblimon attacked.

"We can't let him get away," Takato screamed, "Kabushimon, go!"

"Let's get them! Blaze of Death!" exclaimed Kabushimon.

All of the Goblimon were blown away with that single shot. But just then, a gust of wind hit the two of them, knocking them down, and throwing Yamaki against the back wall of his house. Takato looked up. In front of them, outside of the house, he saw Toranmon. Her eyes were glowing red, and she had a big smirk on her face.

Toranmon told them, "It is time for you to die. I may have underestimated you the last time, but now you do now have that foolish sorcerer to help you."

Takato looked at the Digimon. 'She's just under Galneon's control. I've got to set her free somehow. But how would I be able to do that? There must be a. . .I've got it! My dream said to aim for the headband, so maybe I should do that.' With that, he took his survival knife out of the sheath on his belt. He cut strait across the headband that Toranmon wore.

A strange sensation went through the creature's body. She let out a howl that sounded like nothing this sane world ever had encountered. Then, she fell to the ground in a faint.

Takato and Kabushimon ran over to her. The man picked the Digimon up in his arms, as his partner de-Digivolved to keep from scaring the villagers. Then, they left the little cabin in the woods, and returned to Doraf in order to get help from Kazu.

What's going to happen next? Can they find the second treasure before Ryo? What will happen when Toranmon awakens? Look for the next chapter. Oh, and the characters I chose to be the leaders was only because I wanted two girls and two boys in each groop.
