Memory
Chapter VII: Digitopia
By Salamon2
Salamon: Interesting story... 0_0...
Salamon2: This is another part based on Animal Farm, this is the last major part based on that novel.
Salamon: I can't believe you're so devoted to this... when did you start writing this?
Salamon2: Oh... a year and a half ago... I have a lot of good ideas but I don't know how to fit the story all together, so I put the basic ideas down, and later come back to them and see what I can make of them.
Salamon: Oh...
Salamon2: Did that make any sense at all?
Salamon: Uh... no... but you don't own Digimon anyway!

"And so, fellow Digimon... our beloved leader, can not be with us today, the founder of our beliefs, who lived for more than 8,760,345 years, is dead..." said WarGreymon to the collected group of Champions, Ultimates, Rookies, and In-training Digimon.
"No!" cried out the group in front of the Megas.
"Yes, and since we are now on our own, we must be ready for an invasion of any kind! I'm sure the other countries, once word reaches them of our righteous revolution shall begin to get ready... so we must be prepared for them... I propose to build an army to stop them from bringing back the monarchy!" said SaberLeomon.
"HURRAH!" cried the group of Digimon, in full support.
"Then, all Digimon that are ready to serve their nation, step forward, and follow me..." said SaberLeomon, and all of the Ultimates and half of the Champions came bounding forward and followed SaberLeomon, and Tortosamon, to another room.
"Fellow Digimon, we have a job to the rest of the nation to set free all Digimon, and bring them to our cause... all those in support of traveling throughout the country and spreading the good word of Digism, follow me!" said Pheonixmon, and the rest of the Champions followed her to the back part of the room, where a map of the country was already hanging up on the wall.
"Finally, fellow Digimon, let us not forget the area which we control... we still have crops to be planted, roads to be repaired, and houses to be fixed. All Digimon in favor of working to make the area we control better for ourselves... please follow me!" said WarGreymon, who walked out of the large room, that would have been considered a foyer to us, of the King's palace. All of the Rookies, In-training, and Digi-Babies did follow him, leaving no one else in the room. They walked down, following a path that led to the town of Tikaret.

"I solemnly swear..." said Wizardmon, bowing before SaberLeomon, hat off. SaberLeomon had taken his seat on the old King's throne.
"To serve our nation..." said Tortosamon, a female tortoise like Digimon with a Golden shell. She had a long neck that had gold armor on it, ever other golden plate was black, and at the top she had a head and mask much similar to Seadramon, only no hair in the back, and the mask was completely gold. She had fins coming out of her shell, they were an Aquamarine color, the same as her eyes, and a very long tail that at the end was two pronged, and webbed. She had a strange pattern on her chest of her shell; it looked like a backward S, cut in half, one half white, the other black, and on either side of it was a dot, one white, one black.
"To serve out nation..." said Wizardmon
"On the sacred memory of our most beloved leader, Azulongmon..." said Tortosamon.
"On the sacred memory of our most beloved leader, Azulongmon..." said Wizardmon
"And follow SaberLeomon's orders before anyone else's" said Tortosamon
"And follow SaberLeomon's orders before anyone else's" said Wizardmon
"Rise up Wizardmon, and accept the position as Head Strategist of the National Digimon Guard..." said SaberLeomon, and Wizardmon bowed again, put his hat back on, and came up next to the throne.
"Next volunteer..." said SaberLeomon, leader of the National Digimon Guard (NDG).

Pheonixmon soared through the sky, her brilliant wings took her farther than she had ever dreamed of flying as Biyomon. She had on her back the other half of the Champions, jumping off at their stops to spread the word of Digism around the nation. Already the surrounding provinces of Tahi, Tisi, and Takai, were now under their control. And by nightfall tonight, so would Taken, Cor, and Itak. Revolution was spreading quickly throughout this oppressed nation.
~~~
After one week had past, all of the Ultimates in the country belonged to the NDG and most of the Champions as well. And during that time, all of the mainland provinces were under the Four Mega's control, or the National Digimon Council of Takaishi (NDCT). Several country sweeps were completed; members, nobles, and supporters of the royal family were found and tried before the council's trial committee.
"Did a country sweep find any of the remaining followers of the old regime?" asked SaberLeomon to the bowing Wizardmon before him.
"Yes, the royal brothers Takechi, and Takio, were found in an abandoned mansion... all the servants had fled leaving the royal brothers to fend for themselves..." said Wizardmon.
"Good... and their Digimon?" said SaberLeomon
"Their Digimon must have abandoned them too..." said Wizardmon.
"Good..." said SaberLeomon
"However... the search for the other two members is still continuing..." said Wizardmon
"Three... There are three members of the former regime at large still... you forget the Lady Hikari..." said SaberLeomon
"Yes Sire... forgive me..." said Wizardmon bending lower than before.
"You are forgiven... you did not know... but when they are captured... the girl shall be made a slave, to serve me... and as for the two you've caught... you know what to do Wizardmon..." said SaberLeomon.
~~~
"Brother... I can't feel my feet..." said Takio, in total darkness.
"Just think about something else, other than that..." said Takechi, having a hard time breathing.
"All of this, just for living..." said Takio, who then gulped, and breathed heavily before speaking again "I don't understand it all brother... why are they so cruel... it seems just like yesterday they were just children... harmless children, only needing guidance and work to make their lives complete..." said Takio.
"And overnight they grew up, they no longer were they the children we knew when we awoke, but they had become brutal, monstrous beasts..." said Takechi said.
"It is sad then, that children do not stay children..." said Takio
"Yes... it is indeed... if only they did though... if only they did..." said Takechi, the whole time having trouble talking, and the same problem with his brother, lying right next to him, tied to a different wheel but on the same board.
Just then, the door to the dark room was opened, and Wizardmon stepped inside with a clipboard. Light poured onto the features of the boys, blood streaming from their face, arms, and legs. Their once clean figures and clothes were now soiled, full of blood, and were torn. Both of their once golden hair, was now filled with dried blood, and both were tied to the rack. The horrid machine had pulled both boys' arms and legs, causing blood to pour from the sockets.
"Ah... I see you both are awake... now... let's begin where we left off with our talks..." said Wizardmon stepping into the dungeon, MetalMamemon following him, bringing a torch, and lighting all the others in the room, and it in the empty holder in the wall when the room was completely lit. MetalMamemon then got to the boys' heads, where the wheels were, ready to turn them, if need be.
"We'll never talk to you..." said Takechi, forcing his mouth to move. MetalMamemon was about to turn Takechi's wheel, but with a gesture from Wizardmon's hand spared Takechi more pain than he already was in.
"Pray tell me why not..." said Wizardmon.
"You're a monster! What gives you the right to do this to us!?" shouted Takio, his anger pouring out, aimed at Wizardmon.
"MetalMamemon, if you please..." said Wizardmon without a care. And the Digimon pulled the lever, screaming with delight. Takio then suddenly fell into a series of screams all too terrible for the human mind to hear, even once.
"Now?" asked Wizardmon.
"Pull it again..." said Takio, unwilling to budge. And MetalMamemon pulled it happily, and Takio erupted once more into his screams and then fell silent, for eternity.
~~~
One the wooden boat, almost two thousand miles away, Nyaromon awoke with a start.
"TAKIO!" cried out the small Digimon, as if she could feel his pain, and then no longer feel anything at all, and she cried.
~~~
"The two of the Royal Family of Takaishi, have not confessed their crimes against this council..." said Wizardmon
"And has any progress to find the last two of the Royal family been made?" asked Pheonixmon hiding her knowing of the location.
"Three, the Lady Hikari counts since she was betroved to the King..." said SaberLeomon
"Yes, Sea and Air patrols were sent out, and parts of the NDG are searching the country as we speak..." said Wizardmon, at this, WarGreymon frowned.
"So they will be found..." said Tortosamon with confidence. WarGreymon frowned more.
"Anything bothering you WarGreymon?" asked SaberLeomon
"I can't stand it any longer!" shouted WarGreymon
"What can't you stand my friend?" asked SaberLeomon, and Pheonixmon looked worried.
"I let those children go..." said WarGreymon. Pheonixmon was surprised, and so was Tortosamon, and SaberLeomon.
"YOU WHAT?!" screamed SaberLeomon, who jumped over his desk in the great marble room, and jumped at WarGreymon, unexpectedly, who was behind his desk.
"TRAITOR!" shouted SaberLeomon as he attacked the Digimon, giving him no time to put up any kind of defense, an all out offensive attack. Pheonixmon, just sat there, and watched it all happened, turned her head and a tear rolled down from her eyes.
"Hmm..." said Tortosamon noticing Pheonixmon and smirking.
When SaberLeomon was done, WarGreymon was having trouble holding his form, and he was surrounded by Ultimate Digimon holding guns at him. SaberLeomon growled at WarGreymon.
"These guns are what my strategists have been designing for the past week, it shall make you a Digi-egg, and if you loose all of your energy and become deleted for some reason... you shall not return... FIRE!" said SaberLeomon, and the group shot the gun at WarGreymon.
~~~
One hour later, a wooden crate fell from a tall cliff to the north of Aishitak, it plunged into the sea, dropped a few feet, and rose to the surface, followed by two other crates, which, unlike the first crate that fell into the sea, they fell, and never saw daylight again. Pheonixmon, having done her job, only hoped that the crate that was floating would make it to the small boat somewhere out there... lost in the Sea of Memory. She then continued back to Aishitak, under 'protection' of the NDG.
~~~
That night a large bird was seen flying off into the sky, away from Aishitak, into the East.
~~~
The next morning, SaberLeomon called a meeting of all representatives of the nation to meet in the Council Room.
"And so, fellow Digimon, from now on humans shall harvest the crops, and we shall live in their houses..." said Tortosamon.
"HURRAH!" cried the Representative Digimon.
"Where's WarGreymon, and Pheonixmon?" asked a small Digimon from the province of Cor.
"The traitor WarGreymon allowed our enemies to escape and live... he has been punished... the traitor Pheonixmon disappeared in the night... no doubt she had something to do with what WarGreymon did... they have been banished, if they ever are seen again in this nation, any Digimon that kills them or captures them, shall be rewarded handsomely..." said SaberLeomon to the audience in disbelief. SaberLeomon then continued, after the shock wore off a little "... as of immediately there will be no more representatives, that's right you can all go home, no more polls or discussions as well! A committee made up of Ultimates and Megas shall make the decisions on the running of this nation!" said SaberLeomon.
"NO!" cried the Champion representatives and the NDG in front of them aimed their guns at one representative, and shot. That got them quiet soon enough.
"Furthermore... we shall no longer be called Takaishi, that is the name of the past oppressive regime... we shall be called Digitopia!" said SaberLeomon
"Now... Get to Work!" shouted Tortosamon, and the Digimon were marched out by the NDG.
And so began Digitopia's reign...
