Disclaimer: This is the twelfth time already so you guys know the score.DigiMon and related trademarks are not mine, cuz' if they are.well, you'll see this fanfic as an episode of it.

Chapter 12: The legend of the ancient ten.

"Who are you!" T.K repeated this time with much anger at his voice.

"What are you talking about T.K? It's me Kenya, you know the guy who taught you how to use a sword?" Kenya replied coolly.

"T.K! Put that sword down, have you forgotten Kenya?" Reika asked.

"T.K!" Kari, Gatomon and Freeda called out.

Omegadramon, Patamon's evolve self however also stared at Kenya, "T.K's right who are you? You can't be Kenya." He growled.

"That's a stupid thing to say Omegadramon." Kanya replied.

"That only proves your not Kenya!" T.K shouted, "How did you know Omegadramon, not even the four Crest Guardians of Light know about him!" T.K shouted.

"Hah! You've got no proof at all that we, the crest guardians don't know about him!" Kenya shouted back with a smirk in his face.

"But." Freeda started to say.

"We.really don't know anything about Omegadramon, Kenya." Reika added at once.

Kenya with his face still in a smirk then replied, "I didn't say every crest guardians.I meant to say only the crest guardian of hope and light.which happens to be me."

"That's a lie!!!" Omegadramon growled, this time much louder than before.

"Patamon." Gatomon thought, "What are you talking about? Is that because of the new power that you now possess."

Kari was also thinking about the same thing but about T.K instead of Patamon.

"Okay then maybe Raidermon can help you out," T.K began to say with a smile, " Speaking of your patner.where is he?"

Kenya then looked stunned and surprised as if he didn't know Raidermon at all and began to stammer, "R-Raidremon?"

"Yeah, that reminds me, I haven't seen Raidermon for quite a while." Kari began to remember about the furry armoured dog DigiMon.

""W-well.H-he." Kenya tying hard to explain but couldn't.

"He what? I don't believe I, with the control of darkness over me, even tried to attack the both of you." Freeda asked.

"Well, then.isn't it a bit odd that yo, Raidermon's partner doesn't even know where he is or even what happen to him?" T.K asked this time readying for an attack.

"W-why are you basing all of this on Raidermon's presence?" Kenya managed to pull himself together.

"Enough talk! The fact that Raidermon's not here and you having no clue about his whereabouts is proof enough for me that you are not Kenya!" T.K shouted as he dashed for an attack towards Kenya who managed to unsheathed his sword to block T.K's powerful attack.

"T.K!" Kari shouted too much worry and confusion in her voice.

"Kenya!!" Reika and Freeda both shouted with the same tone of voice as Kari.

"Patamon.I mean, Omegadramon, what's going on?" Gatomon asked Omegadramon.

"Do you not see? T.K is fighting of a fake Kenya.probably a spy," Omegadramon answered.

"What do you mean by that? That guy over there IS the real Kenya!" Gatomon replied exasperated.

"It is because you have not yet been given by the gods the knowledge and the insight that T.K and I now both possess." Omegadramon answered back his tone of voice in level.

"What do you mean by that? Insight and Wisdom? You were just given the extra Ether-egg by the gods and an extra evolution." Gatomon stated rather than asked. "That's is not all that I am given, that Ether-Egg that you are talking about has other purposes as well, not just for my own sake, but for T.K as well.now, is there anything more you want to know about?" Omegadramon replied in a sarcastic tone.

"I still don't believe you, not until I see for myself what's really going on." Gatomon said as she walk towards Kari.

"you don't have to wait long for that, Gatomon." Omegadramon replied in a very low whisper that Gatomon didn't even hear what he just said.

Back at the fight..

"Why don't you just admit who you are!" T.K shouted once more as he dodge an attack from Kenya.

"How many times do I have to tell you.Im." Kenya replied, but even before he could finish T.K countered his attack sending Kenya flying to the other side.

"Kenya!!!" Reika shrieked, "T.K what do you think you're doing?!"

"Don't let this guy fool you Reika.that is not Kenya." T.K replied slightly out of breath.

"T.K."Kari thought, "If only.if only I could understand whatever it is your thinking about.this is not like you."

"I'm really sorry Kari.but you will soon realize what I'm really doing is just protecting everyone from this guy, whoever he is under that mask." T.K told Kari as if reading what is on her mind.

Before Kari could ask if T.K could really read what is on her mind, Kenya came dashing forward and T.K was once again focussed in battle.

"What does he mean by that?" Kari asked out loud despite herself.

It was Omegadramon who answered her question.

"It's really hard for him Kari." Omegadramon tried to explain, "I believe you are wondering what that armour is."

Kari nodded.

"That armour.is an armour of the legend." Omegadramon explained.

"The armour of the legend?!" Reika asked surprised. "It can't be!"

"What's the armour of the legend?" Kari asked.

"Well, the legend here at the digi-world states that thousand years ago, ten powerful digimons called the ancient ten created the digi-world. Six young digidestineds such as yourself, T.K and the others were invited to save this world." It was Freeda's turn to explain.

"That is correct, they were Takuya, Kouji, Tomoki, Izumi, Junpei and Kouchi." Omegadramon continued.

"What have they gotta do about the armour of legend?" Kari asked wondering what was the connection of the six children with the armour.

"Well, Those six children also have a digivice called the D-Tector, now, that Digivice allows them, the human children themselves to digivolve." Omegadramon explained, "But for them to be able to digivolve, they must possess a digi-spirit. This allows them to transform to one of the legendary fighters."

"So?" Kari managed to ask, still wondering what the heck was the connection.

"You still don't understand Kari?" Omegadramon asked and Kari went bright pink but nodded her head, "Very well, the digi-spirit possesses the legendary ancient ten's armour. After the children defeated Kerpymon, the evil during that time, the four sovereign digimons decided to seal the ancient ten's power into ten different and very powerful digi-eggs."

Kari's eyes widen, "You mean the Ether-egg?"

"Yes. The ether-egg is also the digi-spirit that the digidestineds during that time used. T.K over there is using one of those legendary digi- spirits, the digi-beast spirit of the fire, Burning Greymon." Omegadramon finished his explanation.

"Digi-beast spirit?! You mean that's not the human type digi-spirit?" Freeda asked.

Omegadramon nodded.

"But how come it's in human form and not in beast form?" Freeda asked once more.

"It's because the four sovereign digimons modified it so that T.K could easily control it." Omegadramon answered.

"The digi-beast spirit? T.K.." Kari murmured

The fight was getting more out of hand. T.K is still trying to get Kenya to explain who he really is, and Kenya is still saying that he is the REAL Kenya.

"How can I make him admit that he is a fraud?" T.K thought, "I'm already tired.if I'm not careful, my stamina will give out if he manages to attack and hit me."

Then he continued to dodge and counter attack Kenya.

"Grrr.he's become so good, I'm getting tired, and it looks as if he is also getting a bit drained.all I have to do is hold on." Kenya also thought.

Back at Kari and the others..

"Omegadramon, isn't there anything you can do to stop them?" Kari asked, "T.K's already tired."

"I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do unless T.K wants me to help him out, which is most unlikely." Omegadramon replied.

"So there's nothing we can do to stop them?" Reika asked.

"I was also going to ask the same thing." Freeda said.

Gatomon looked anxiously at Omegadramon.

Omegadromon howeverm shook his dragon-like head and replied, "There's nothing that anyone can do.except maybe if."

"If what?!" Kari asked seeing that there was hope to save both T.K and Kenya from killing each other.

Omegadramon looked from Kari to Gatomon and back at Kari. Then Reika and Freeda both understood what is on Omegadramon's mind.

"Except if Kari manages to call upon another Ether-egg of her own.Isn't that right Omegadramon." Reika answered.

Omegadramon nodded.

"How can that help? That wouldn't stop them from fighting." Kari protested.

"You are gravely mistaken Hikari Kamiya." Omegadramon replied, "If you manage to call upon your own Ether-egg or Digi-spirit of the ancients if you may, then you will see what both T.K and I see.the truth."

Kari fell silent for a moment, then managed to ask, "How then, can I get a digi-spirit?"

To be continued.

A/N: This chapter is pretty long too if I may say so. I decided to put a little bit of Digimon Frontier in this fanfic, hope you all liked the little twist. Anyway, I think this fanfic is pretty much far from over so stay tuned.
