(Third Person POV)
"So I guess I should begin when the Royal Knights were formed." Deckerdramon was floating in his lake with Yuto and Dorimon sitting on his head and Yolei, Kari, Gatomon and Hawkmon sitting in front of him on the shore. "Originally the Sovereigns were the ones in charge of the Digital World but one day a group of Mega Digimon led by Alphamon fought against the FIRST group of Digimon similar to the Dark Masters. They battled and deafeated them leading the Sovereigns to pass on the duty of defending the Digital World. These Digimon led by Alphamon and his second-in-command Omnimon were Craniamon, Crusadermon, Dynasmon, Examon, Gallantmon, Gankoomon, Kentaurosmon, Leopardmon, Magnamon, and Jesmon."
"Jesmon?" Kari and Gatomon looked to each other recognizing that name from the year before.
"They believed in a code of honor defending the Digital World and they were successful in it. Soon they were hailed as the true heroes of the Digital World until one day Alphamon had an ultimatum. He wanted to commit a mass genocide of Virus-type Digimon to prevent any further dangers coming to the Digital World. And several of the Royal Knights agreed with him and Omnimon didn't. He and the remaining Royal Knights were against Alphamon's plans and wanted to put an end to them. All but Magnamon began to fight in a Civil War. But even though these Digimon were at odds, they held their battles where no Digimon could get hurt. I saw each battle and these comrades were fighting for the sake of the Digital World. Whatever bond existed between these Royal Knights were broken for our world. And in the end Alphamon and Omnimon stood against each other, Alpha and Omega. They fought in a complete stalemate where neither would give an inch. Then...it ended in a blinding light, I saw it all but what caused that attack wasn't a Sovereign and I have no idea what it may have been." Deckerdramon continued the story and he looked up to see Dorimon trembling in Yuto's arms. "Dorimon it's okay son."
"I-I did all of that? I caused all of that?"
"No! I promise you pal you're better than that!"
"You're right Yuto, he actually didn't." Deckerdramon making all six look at him in shock. "You see when the light vanished there were FOUR eggs rather than three. Two of them were of the Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon that became Omnimon together. And the other two were of Alphamon."
"Alphamon was made up of two Digimon?" Yolei asked making Deckerdramon shake his head.
"No, Alphamon was split in two. A dark half and a good half. Dorimon, you are the good half of Alphamon. The half the Royal Knights loyally followed, Omnimon's friend. A dark half was formed and I assume it was another Alphamon." Deckerdramon said making the four Digidestined in front of him look at each other. "What's wrong my young friends?"
"It was!" Hawkmon and Gatomon said standing up and bowing to Dorimon. "We're so sorry Dorimon!"
"We fought an Alphamon last year...he had defeated me and my friends." Yolei said looking down remembering how brutally they were defeated by the other Alphamon.
"And then he attacked the Human World, my brother and his best friend are partnered to an Agumon and Gabumon that can become Omnimon." Kari said to Deckerdramon making him look up to the two on his head.
"You two must avoid getting near them."
"Why?" Yuto, Yolei, and Kari asked as Deckerdramon began to climb out of the lake.
"The fight between Alphamon and Omnimon MUST be decided eventually no matter the time or incarnation. They MUST duel each other and settle their battle. Even though you may only be HALF of the original Alphamon, all three of you will force a Warp Digivolution into your Mega Forms because of your instincts that were made for your battle. You will feel anger, resentment, and the need to fight each other. You two must help them make sure it doesn't happen, the damage could be catastrophic." Deckerdramon said looking at the two Digidestined making Yolei and Kari nod followed by Hawkmon and Gatomon.
(Yuto POV)
Wow...that was heavy. Everything the old man said really got to me and Dorumon. We made it home from the Digital World and he was napping on my bed while I sat on the floor thinking about what to do. So I did the only thing that came to mind: I'm gonna call her. I took out my phone and dialed Kari hoping that she would want to meet up somewhere to talk.
"Hello?"
"Kari? It's Yuto."
"Yeah what is it?"
"Can we like...meet up? I really need to talk to someone about today, and you're the one person who can help me make any sense of it."
"H-Huh? Sure! Just give me half an hour to get ready and meet me at the waterfront!" She hung up and I put my phone down looking at Dorumon. And I promise buddy, I won't let anything happen to you.
(Kari POV)
"So Kari what happened today?" Tai asked outside my door while I got dressed for my date with Yuto. Wait not a date! We're just meeting up to talk!
"Nothing really, it was just a little problem. We handled it pretty well, Aquilamon got really banged up though that's why Hawkmon looked like that."
"I see, well tell T.K I said hi." Tai said walking away from my door. I let out a sigh of relief while Gatomon looked at me confused.
"Why didn't you tell him about Yuto?"
"Remember what Deckerdramon said? Keep them as far away from each other as possible, he can't know...as much as he should know he can't." I said to Gatomon making her sigh and roll her eyes.
"You could just tell him we found a new Digidestined, I mean he was psyched when we met Meiko but STILL. He doesn't have to know about Dorumon or know he lives here in Odaiba." Damn I hate it when she's right. Fine I'll tell him...when I get back of course because I needed to start heading on my way.
(Third Person POV)
Yuto was currently standing near the Daikanransha waiting for Kari with a hoodie on looking at his Digivice.
'What if I lose him? I-I can't think about anything Dorumon...' He looked up seeing the Ferris Wheel light up and then look at the Rainbow Bridge imagining how much he would love to see them.
"Yuto!" He snapped out of it hearing Kari and turned his head to see her walking towards him.
"How'd you know it was me?" He asked taking off his hood and wiping off his glasses.
"You're the only person here holding a Digivice. What's wrong?" Kari said as Yuto put on his glasses and the two of them began to walk around.
"How would you feel if you found out Gatomon has a chance of dying in a fight that's supposed to happen?" His question caught her off guard and Kari sighed thinking about it.
"Heartbroken. She's my best friend."
"Then multiply that times 100. When the Dark Spore left my body and I got this, I didn't know what to do. Then fast forward a couple years later and Dorumon's egg comes through my laptop. He hatched right in front of me and I've seen him go from his baby form to Alphamon. He's MY best friend, he's who I always count on when I need it. I owe that bond to Deckerdramon for helping us grow stronger together." He looked at the ground remembering what his past with Dorumon making Kari smile and grab his hand.
"Hey, you're not gonna lose him. Me and my friends are gonna make sure of that." Kari said making the boy smile until suddenly they began to hear static. They took out their phones and saw that they were glitching until a red hole formed in the sky and a shadow jumped out of it and into the water. "What was that?"
"How fast can Gatomon get here?"
"How fast can Dorumon?" The two of them nodded at each other taking out their Digivices.
(Sora POV)
What just happened? I was doing some research on Tokyo University for next year and next thing I know there was an extremely loud boom. I went to the news online and there were reports of a serpent like creature attacking the waterfront.
"Biyomon!"
"Right Sora!"
(Third Person POV)
Meanwhile Dorumon and Gatomon had arrived getting a signal from the Digivices and stood next to their partners watching a bolt of lightning go from the water and hit a ship blowing it up.
"Ready you two?"
"Ready!" The two jumped into the air as a red Seadramon with a black helmet and gold horn burst out of the water roaring at the four.
"What is that?"
"A WaruSeadramon, an Ultimate level Digimon." Kari said looking at her D-Terminal as the two Digimon landed on a piece of metal from the destroyed ship on the water.
"Lightning Paw!"
"Metal Cannon!" Gatomon punched WaruSeadramon in the head making it roar as Dorumon fired a metal ball at its eye.
"Thunder Javelin!" WaruSeadramon fired a bolt of lightning from its horn at the water electrocuting it and the two Digimon on their makeshift platform.
"Dorumon/Gatomon!"
"Meteor Wing!" WaruSeadramon was hit by several fireballs sending it into the water while the two looked up to see Sora and Birdramon.
"Kari? Oh you're with HIM huh?" Sora said noticing the two Digidestined winking at Kari making her sigh.
"Sora...can we deal with WaruSeadramon first?!"
"You don't have to tell us twice. Sora!"
"Right!" Sora's Digivice became red and Birdramon was covered in a red light until Garudamon stood in her place.
"Birdramon Digivolve to Garudamon! Wing Blade!" The red bird shaped attack flew from Garudamon into the water hitting WaruSeadramon making it roar in pain. It then hit the water making a wall of water cover it.
"Kari let's help them out."
"Right. Gatomon!"
"Dorumon!"
"Gatomon digivolve to Angewomon!"
"Dorumon digivolve to Reptiledramon! Reptiledramon digivolve to Grademon!" The two Ultimate-Level Digimon flew through the wall of water and Angewomon flew next to Garudamon and Grademon in front of the Digidestined.
"Maelstrom!" WaruSeadramon spun around creating an electrified tornado making Grademon hold onto Kari and Yuto shielding them from the attack and Garudamon did the same for Sora who was currently on her shoulder.
"Buddy you know what to do." Yuto said to Grademon making him nod and let go of them jumping into the attack getting caught in the vortex. "Hey! Grademon's going to stop that tornado! Get an attack ready!" Yuto yelled to Angewomon and Garudamon making them nod and charge up their attacks.
"Grade Slash!" Grademon was suddenly at the top of the tornado and used both his swords to cut through it revealing WaruSeadramon at the bottom. "Cross Blade!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
"Wing Blade!"
In a flash of light, Grademon slashed WaruSeadramon leaving an X mark on its side that was then hit by Angewomon's arrow and Garudamon's attack turning it into data.
"So you're a Digidestined?" Sora and Biyomon were currently talking to Yuto and Dorumon while Kari and Nefertimon checked to see if there was anyone on the destroyed ship.
"Yeah according Kari I am."
"And you're Dorumon?"
"Yes ma'am I am." Dorumon said raising his claw to greet the two. But suddenly Kari and Nefertimon flew to them and put them on Nefertimon's back. "Uh can I ask why?"
"We saw Tai and the others coming, we need to get you two out of here fast."
"Why?" Sora and Biyomon looked at her confused as the Nefertimon got ready to fly.
"I'll tell you later! Let's go!" Nefertimon flew away with the three on her back while Tai and Agumon, Izzy and Tentomon, and Davis and Veemon arrived.
"Sora what happened?"
"It was a Seadramon attack, I handled it." Biyomon said while Izzy looked around at the damage.
"Wow, this is going to be a problem."
"You're telling me, I'm going to have to help you stay up tonight while you figure this out." Tentomon said as police began to arrive which was their cue to leave.
The four arrived at Yuto and Dorumon's home and dropped the two off on the balcony with Kari trying to hide a blush from how she and Yuto were sitting together on Nefertimon's back.
"Thanks, but you know being kept a secret like this is gonna take a while to get used to." Yuto said until he noticed that the balcony door was still slightly open because of Dorumon."You can open the door but not close it, how wonderful."
"It's only momentary Yuto I promise. But anything involving my brother is out of the question."
"Hiding me from your family? Wow if we were anything else but friends I'd be offended." Yuto's joke made Kari blush and look away making Nefertimon laugh.
"Good night you two and good job today!" Nefertimon said flying away as Dorumon began to wave at them.
"Bye!" Dorumon followed Yuto inside the apartment and the two of them saw a small grey dragon wearing a tattered cloak and goggles standing near the door. "Um who are you?"
"Dorumon, I'm glad to see you old friend."
"Who are you?' Yuto repeated Dorumon's question as the small dragon walked towards them looking at Dorumon.
"I'm Hackmon, or as you once knew me: Jesmon. You and I have to talk."
"I've done enough talking today, what do you want?"
"Then let me tell you: you and Omnimon have to have your battle soon."
"Why?"
"The remaining eight Royal Knights will return soon."
