Chapter 27
He turns to see FanBeemon flying after them. He asks, "Slow up, Pegasusmon. FanBeemon is trailing after us." Pegasusmon slows up and FanBeemon says, "Thanks!" He then holds FanBeemon to his chest and Pegasusmon then speeds up after Shalindramon.
They soon catch up to Shalindramon. He could see the questioning look that Matt is giving him. "FanBeemon decided to tag along." He explains to Matt. Jager turns to him and smiles at that. He nods to his twin and they then look forward.

He sighs as he looks at the very tall metal Digimon. He then turns to look at the next one, golden clad Digimon with a blue cape. He sighs as both Digimon examine Revmon. He turns to where his brothers are with the other Digimon.
He then turns back towards the two X Digimon and his partner. "I'm MetalGarurumon X and this is Grademon." The tall metal Digimon says at last. He just stares at the taller Digimon, not knowing just what to say. "You're a MetalGarurumon?" Matt asks. MetalGarurumon X turns to look at Matt and then notices Gabumon. "You're partner can go mega?" MetalGarurumon X asks. Matt nods at this and MetalGarurumon X sighs. "The X-Antibody is capable to altering Digimon looks as well as power. That's why I look the way I do." MetalGarurumon X explains.
He thinks about Guilmon X and then begins to understand. "Those with the X at the end of their names have been changed physically too?" He says. Grademon nods and says, "Correct." He sighs and looks between the two. "We're working on creating a separate Digital World based on the three fragments of your world. It'll take awhile and I hope you'll be willing to come and meet Raptordramon and Guilmon X before having a look around our Digital World." He says as politely as he can.
The two high level Digimon look at each other for a minute and MetalGarurumon X says, "We have nothing better to do." Grademon nods in agreement. They soon are on their way to where they left Guilmon X and Raptordramon. It really helps that MetalGarurumon X is capable of flying with Grademon in his arms.
He could tell that Matt and Gabumon were very interested in MetalGarurumon X. He had to admit that he now began to think about the alteration that could happen to others that have the X-Antibody. He sighs as he daydreams about that.

They now stand in the council cambers with Izzy and Tentomon. This wasn't the first time he's been here, for they've been here three times before. He's meet with all four sovereigns before and has heard rumours of a fifth sovereign too, not that this rumour has ever been confirmed or denied.
Both Revmon and him are relaxed, but Izzy is nervous. This was the first time that Izzy has ever heard of the sovereigns and he could tell he might have warned Izzy that they might be summoned to meet with them. But then, he could tell that Tentomon has tried and failed to calm down the Digidestine of Knowledge, he also doubts that he'd have better luck trying to calm Izzy down if Tentomon, who's Izzy's partner, can't then he has very little hope of doing the same. Izzy is pacing, which is strange even for him.
He sighs and decides to give it a try anyway. "Just relax, Izzy. I've meet with them before and they're not going to harm us. All they want to do is get our opinion of the situation." He explains. Izzy answers without stopping, "But they're like the guys in charge! How can I relax about this? I want to make a good impression!" He sighs and says, "Just try not to take offence to any comments from Zhuqiaomon. He's the phoenix one of the four. He's a bit touchy with the whole depending on humans for help. He's just plain mean at times." Izzy just stops at this and he knew he shouldn't have added that last bit. "What's stopping this guy from roasting me!" Izzy asks. He answers, "While, the other sovereigns. Most defiantly Azulongmon, he's the one that seems to be in charge of our being here in the Digital World." Izzy sighs and then continues to pace.
"I can't believe you meant them! I heard that there's a fifth sovereign! It that true?" Tentomon asks after two minutes. "Never meet that one, only the four." He says. Revmon then adds, "Though there are five pillars." He nods at that. They then just let the silences reign over them.
It's been a whole week since Grademon and MetalGarurumon X have appeared and they are currently exploring the Digital World. Raptordramon, Guilmon X, and FanBeemon usually located within this certain territory, which makes it easier to find them. He can't believe that Grademon was an ultimate level Digimon, but then, he shouldn't be surprise to find an ultimate at the same time they found a mega.
They have been waiting for a good hour and half when Gennai appears. Both Revmon and him get up and walk towards the young looking man. Izzy sighs and then falls into step behind him. Tentomon walks by Izzy's side.
They soon come to a door and Gennai then moves out of the way. He leads Izzy and their partners into the cambers. They soon are in what appears to be sky. He turns to the first pillar to his left and finds Azulongmon resting there. Then he turns to Zhuqiaomon who's resting on the next pillar. The highest pillar is the on between Zhuqiaomon and Ebonwumon. He then turns to the right to where Ebonwumon is resting. Then to the last sovereign Baihumon, on the last pillar.
He then waits for someone to address them. He folds his hand in front of him and keeps his face blank. Mostly staring at the fifth pillar, it looks just as he remembers it.
"I have heard from Gennai that you are over hundred years old and also the single human that the Digital World resurrected. I take it you know who each of us is?" Baihumon asks. He nods his head and then says, "You, Baihumon, are the sovereign of the west. Your opposite is Azulongmon, who is the sovereign of the east. Then Ebonwumon, who is the sovereign of the north and his opposite Zhuqiaomon, the sovereign of the south." He could tell that most of them were pleased with his answer. He could tell that Zhuqiaomon looks a bit peeved at him knowing who is who and that he's corrected.
It is Zhuqiaomon that speaks next. "All well and good, but what do you have to report!" Zhuqiaomon demands. He then answers as best as he can. "The three warps are what's left of the X Digimon's home dimension. Each was also separate from each other. The one with volcanoes was call the past, the forest one the present, and last one with the city was call the future. The past world housed the ancient types. The future world housed the insect and robotic types. The present world was not only were the rest of the types lived, but also where the Digimon were hatched. If you four decide to go forward with this, we can use the warps to create a single world for this X Digimon to live in." He pause and then continues onto a different part. "We also now know that the X-Antibody could be absorbed by other Digimon, changing them and improving them. This could cause problems for the Digital World, for those that are power hungry types will then seek out those with X-Antibodies in hopes to gain the power to challenge the defenders of the Digital World. It's not fair to the X Digimon to just send them away, mostly they are innocent and it would be injustice to send them to another dimension. It is my opinion that we should go forward with this, for the rumours will spread in time and we'll then have a problem with everyone knowing about them." He finishes speaking his piece and then steps back to let them look at Izzy.
He whispers to Izzy, "Your turn." Izzy then moves stiffly forward and looks very nervous. "You're Izzy, the one with the crest of Knowledge." Azulongmon asks. Izzy nods at this and swallows. "Calm down, laddie! We're not going to eat you!" Ebonwumon's first head says. "Yup, that's right." Then second head says. He smiles and just hopes that Izzy relaxes.
"And your opinion?" Ebonwumon first head asks after three minutes of silence. Izzy looks startled and then says, "I agree with Jager on this. These X Digimon have done nothing wrong or have tried to harm us in any way." Izzy swallows and continues. "I have meet with MetalGarurumon X about problems that he himself had faced and it seems that it's for the best to separate them from the normal Digimon types. For in their home dimension, Digimon called the Royal Knights hunted them. This Royal Knights wanted to eradicate any Digimon with the X-Antibody. This could happen here as well, many Digimon thinking them to be unnatural and a war could then happen in this world. If this X Digimon are think that they're threatened enough and have a leader to follow, they could most likely conquer the Digital World without much effort. It's best to give them their own world and to have it ready before more of them appear. Once this world is ready, we then could just transfer the Digimon before they appear in this world. The fewer of them knowing about this world, the more likely that none of them will try to conquer this world." Izzy then adds, "That's what I think."
He moves forward to have Izzy to step back. Izzy is startled, but then follows his example. They wait for the door to appear. Then something happened that he's never seen before.
They turn and stare as a cloud appears over the fifth pillar. He just stares as a golden dragon appears out of the cloud. "Fanglongmon! What brings you from your home?" Zhuqiaomon asks. Fanglongmon looks at the other sovereign and then says, "The world that I have been living in has been destroyed and it has taken me decades to find the survivors." Then Fanglongmon looks over at him and then at Revmon. "It seems that my search is over. How many have survived?" Fanglongmon asks them. He blinks and then answers, "Last I saw, there were about eighty in the tunnel." Fanglongmon nods, looking very relieved at this number of survivors.
"You mean that this X Digimon are from your world?" Baihumon asks in awe. "Very true and I came here to ask for your help in finding them, but seeing as they are arriving here safely, I can rest easily. Now I must ask for your help in creating a refuge for them." Fanglongmon tells the others. "That's what this meeting is for. Jager and Izzy have been working with Gennai in creating a separate Digital World based on the three warps that have appeared." Azulongmon explains to Fanglongmon. He could tell that Fanglongmon looks interested in this and asks, "Just how far have they gotten?" "They finished the frame work and are waiting for our approval to continue on." Zhuqiaomon says. "Then I'll let you four vote." Fanglongmon says.
The vote was now very easy to see, for he doubts that any of them would stand before the golden Digimon. It was all for them continuing. Before leaving the camber Fanglongmon says to them, "I wish to meet with the two of you in a few days time. I'll ask Gennai to send a message when and where. Until then, good luck with your work." They leave and they stop outside of the doors.
Gennai looks at their expressions and asks, "Was there a problem?" Revmon answers, "No really, just that Fanglongmon is back." The expression on Gennai's face mirrors their own. For a long time, all of them just stand there, dumbstruck at this turn of events.
