Chapter 19

Sorrow and Chaos

To Alice

MeggidoGallantmon attacked Canantmon with all his might and his rage gave him a great amount of power. Canantmon was trying his best not to severely hurt the dark knight. MeggidoGallantmon was greatly annoyed that Canantmon was not giving his all. He looked around and saw they are in a forest. MeggidoGallantmon used Zeon to cut down the trees in the area. Canantmon realized he had to get serious. He pulled out DigiCanine,( name of Canantmon's sword), and cut his way through the trees. When he was done, he was slammed on the back by MeggidoGallantmon. Canantmon got up but pierced his sword to a tree for support. MeggidoGallantmon could see Canantmon was still not getting very serious and intended to hurt him. He clenched his fist and punched the dog knight. Canantmon fell to the ground face-up.

"Why are you holding back your power?"

"You are unsure of your identity. I do not want to defeat an opponent who do not know who he really is."

"What… are you talking about?"

"You remember our previous battle? You told me to run and escape. An evil knight would never tell his opponent to safe himself. He would kill his opponent without mercy! Why did you hesitate? Are you really MeggidoGallantmon, the evil knight of the Hazard, weilder of Zeon and servant to Apocalymon or somebody else?"

MeggidoGallantmon froze. He began to think about the questions Canantmon asked. He was too proud to admit it but Canantmon was right. He was unsure of his real identity. Then he had some strange feeling that made him think he actually has two selves. The evil knight dropped his sword. Canantmon wanted to take the oppurtunity to take him down but he felt it was not right. MeggidoGallantmon is very confused and disturbed by previous events that occurred. Then Canantmon noticed a figure emerged from behind MeggidoGallantmon and tried to grab Zeon but the sword rejected him by giving out strong electric sparks. Canantmon recognized the figure.

"Apocalymon, what are you doing here?"

"To take away Meggido of course. He is not in the right state of mind. Who are you?"

"A knight of the Hazard, Canantmon."

"I see. Alice McCoy isn't it?"

Canantmon decided to fight Apocalymon but MeggidoGallantmon blocked his path. The knight picked up Zeon and faced the evil digimon.

"Go on, my lord. I want to finish this duel. It will stain my honour if I retreat."

"I forbid you, Meggido! If you don't come with me, I'll consider it as betrayal!"

"I don't care. I do not want to destroy my honour as a knight digimon."

"So be it, Meggido. From now, you're no longer my servant."

When Apocalymon left, MeggidoGallantmon put his sword back. Canantmon was wiser not to let his guard down.

"Canantmon, let's call off the duel."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I am now free from Apocalymon's shackles. I would like to continue to fight you but now I want to talk."

"Then, let's not fight. Join the chosens, Meggido."

"No… till I know my real identity, allegiance to anybody is impossible."

"Meggido…"

"So Canantmon let's talk."

To Kari

Kari watched Davis talking to Azulongmon as if he remembered the holy dragon. Azulongmon told her only Davis's memories of the chosens are erased. Gatomon tried to comfort the young girl but she just shrug her off. Kari tried to bear the truth but alas, she could not. Davis noticed Kari staring at her.

"Excuse me for a while, Azulongmon."

Davis walked towards Kari and sat beside her. Kari refused to see his face. Tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Miss Kari? Something wrong?"

"Nothing, Davis. I'm fine."

Kari hurriedly got up and walked off. Gatomon walking beside her. Davis was not going to give up.

"You were crying. You want to talk about it?"

"Yes… but not to you."

Kari noticed Davis putting his hand on her shoulder. She gently removed his hand.

"Please… leave me alone."

Davis watched as Kari and Gatomon wandered off. Davis wondered why Kari was so hostile to him. He was busy figuring it out when a scream was heard. Davis and Veemon rushed out to find who screamed. Kari and Angewomon ran to them.

"Yolei is being attacked by Piedmon. We need to assist her."

Davis did not need to ask with Yolei was a friend or foe. By looking on the worried look on Kari's face he knwew whoever Yolei is, she is a friend and was in trouble. He nodded and Veemon. Davis took out his D-Arc.

"Digi Modify! Matrix Digivolution!"

VEEMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TOOO AEROVEEDRAMON

Davis climbed on AeroVeedramon and looked at Kari who was riding Angewomon.

"Shall we?"

"Let's go."

Azulongmon watched them left.

"Be careful both of you."

To Yolei

Piedmon easily beat the crap of Aquilamon. Yolei screamed in terror and her fear was enjoyed by Piedmon. The Mega digimon just laugh.

"haha! The sound of a helpless chosen. How I yearn to hear that? Well, I heard it several times already."

Piedmon took out one of his swords to finish the job. The sword was about to reach Hawkmon when it was deflected. Piedmon was enraged.

"Who dares to interuppt my moment?"

"We do."

Kari, Angewomon, Davis and AeroVeedramon appeared to save the day. Yolei was so grateful they arrived at the nick of time. She was amazed to see Davis.

"Davis…is that you?"

"Hello, you must be Yolei. Less time chatting, more time fighting. Go AeroVeedramon!"

Yolei gave Kari a confused look. Kari shook her head and Yolei realized that Davis really had no memories of them. AeroVeedramon fought Piedmon with a lot of vigour and strength that even the Mega digimon was overwhelmed.

"What power. Just who is this kid?"

"Mumbling while on the job, mister evil digimon?"

"Don't be so cocky, brat. The real fight starts now."

Piedmon swiftly headbutted AeroVeedramon sending the dragon digimon flying.

"Davis, you better get out of the way. It's about to get rough."

"Got it. Fight well,pal!"

Davis jumped off AeroVeedramon and the dragon punched the clown digimon. They were seriously even. Their attacks were tearing the forest down. AeroVeedramon went for Piedmon's swords to disarm him but was unsuccessful. Piedmon decided to finish off the dragon.

"Time to end this! Trump Sword!"

"V-Wing Blade!!!"

The two attacks collided and the shock waves caused a massive earthquake. Aeroveedramon, who was shaken by the blast of the collided attacks, quickly recovered and picked up Davis, Yolei and the unconcsious Hawkmon. Angewomon and Kari following close behind. Piedmon was frustrated that they had escaped. He decided to find the other chosens and find out if his fellow Dark Masters succeeded in capturing them.

Back to Dai Village

Kari was attending to Yolei and Hawkmon's injuries when she saw Sora and Tai arrived with Garudamon. Kari was about to hug her brother when Sora told her it was not the right time.

"Why?"

"WarGreymon died. He was killed by Piedmon."

"What?! That can't be true! Right,Tai? Tell me its isn't true?"

Tai stayed silent looking at the floor. Kari could see he was in no mood to talk so she changed the subject.

"How did you guys get here?"

"Went to the Primary Village. Asked where Azulongmon headed in which direction and here we are. We spotted Davis and Veemon outside walking around the place."

"Oh. Sora, Davis has really…"

"forgotten about us?"

"How did you know?"

"We went to greet him and the first his question he asked was, "Who are you?"."

"His memories of us were erased."

"As Azulongmon predicted."

"Sora, we can't sit down and rest. We need to find the rest."

"That will be a hassle."

"Why?"

"Rika, Takeru and Ken are still in the forest battling the Dark Masters. Kazu went to the castle to get the cure for Takato. Henry, Suzie, Izzy and Alice… I don't know where they are."

"Then we should look for them. I don't want anybody else to die!"

"It is sad to know our friends are still out there but we must stay here. We need to rest and our injuries need to heal. Look at Yolei. She's badly wounded. Tai is emotionally hurt. Davis has no memory of us. You, Kari, is getting with rash and me being too protective and worried for Tai."

"Sora…"

"Please, Kari. Just rest."

"Alright."

To Takeru and Ken

The two boys, Seraphimon and Stingmon are cornered by the Dark Masters. Piedmon watched Ken quiver in fear but Takeru refused to give up. He ordered Seraphimon to attack full-force but it was futile. Seraphimon was taken down by the combined forces of MetalSeadramon, Machinedramon and Puppetmon. With nothing to protect them, Takeru still stand strong. Piedmon chuckled.

"Such a strong will. You really have grown up, child of Hope. I remembered you haven't had the chance to be turned to a keychain. Looks like you'll get a turn now."

Ken noticed a long slope behind them. He quickly pushed Takeru and Seraphimon, with Stingmon's help, down the slope.

"Ken, what are you doing?"

"Takeru! Please save us when you get your strength back and get the others to help you. We will wait for you guys to rescue us."

"NOOO!!! KEN!!!!"

It was too late. Takeru saw the white cloth which covered Ken and then he blacked out.

MetalSeadramon asked Piedmon if he could track Takeru down.

"Leave the Hope child. We have to find the red-head girl. I sense she is nearby."

To Alice

After talking with MeggidoGallantmon, Alice realized he is not that bad at all but she wanted to know more. MeggidoGallantmon got the message by looking at her impatient and unsatisfied face.

"Alright, Alice. I'll tell you and Dobermon things I haven't tell anyone. I think its part of my erased memory or something."

"How do you get this erased memory fragments?"

"Visions. Comes and go. It made me think I was not born as MeggidoGallantmon but as someone else."
