Chapter 4: Meeting

Before I begin, I want to apologize for not updating this story for a long time. The word document I write this in wasn't't working. And writers block doesn't help either. Thank you those who viewed this so far. Other than that, have a blast reading this! And yes, I know the latest Royal Knight is Examon, but I will not include him in here until I see a clear picture. I need to know what I'm describing to describe it.

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon, and I never will. But a guy can dream, cant he? ;)

The door creaked open, and Dukemon and Magnamon stepped in. "Forgetting us?" Dukemon exclaimed as he stepped inside.

"I'm glad you made it!" said Omegamon, greeting his friend. "Now we can begin!"

"Well, if there are no further interruptions." Duftmon said, shooting glances at those who were still talking. "I would like to start things off by gathering a full report of all the sectors."

"All is fine in my sector." said Dukemon, slowly walking to his seat. He was still tired form carrying the Dexdorugreymon to the castle, and then running to the meeting room. "The small rebellions have settled down thanks to the new government I helped institute."

"Yes." said Duftmon, looking at the reports on his area of the desk. "I've read the letters you have sent. Democracy seems to be good for the humanoid digimon." He then proceeded in passing out a document to the other knights. It was a summary of Dukemons' plans for his sector. The knights looked at and discussed it for a few minutes, and then continued their meeting.

"And what of the Arctic area?" asked Duftmon, still looking over the documents.

"It goes well there too." said Sleipmon. "Then again, nothing really goes on near ruins buried beneath thick ice."

"Really?" asked Dynasmon. "I've heard rumor that the program that influences creation is in there."

"It is." Replied the centaur. "That is why I was assigned to protect it. I have the highest defensive abilities out of all of us."

The meeting progressed for many hours, each knight giving a report on how their sector was going and news they have heard. Surprisingly, each area had the same conditions, quiet and peaceful.

"Is there anything else to discus about sector plans?" Duftmon asked after the last knight finished his speech. Each knight shook their head, meaning a firm no. "Moving on then."

"If I may speak, Duftmon." Omegamon said, demanding the attention of the room.

"You may." He responded.

Omegamon got out of his seat, and walked over to the library behind the meeting table. He thumbed through the books for a few until he found the book on Guilmon that he was researching in. Before turning to his fellow knights, he spoke. "Today, before entering this meeting room, very odd events took place." He began, building suspense. "I was confronted by a being of similar size, shape, voice, and overall appearance of one of us here." The table then stirred in quiet conversation. This was accepted by Omegamon though, for he had planned to pause here. He over heard the fragments such as "Who did he see?" and "What does this mean?"

"Please." Imperialdramon said, trying to break up the commotion. "Let him finish." The group, save for Omegamon, Dukemon, and Magnamon, shot glances that could kill at the outsider.

"Thank you." He said, turning to face him, and then the other knights.This stirred even more conversation. "Anyway, after the confrontation, he spoke about Guilmon and a very odd plan." He made his way to the table. He could see that the others had so many questions for him. "He has the exact appearance of you, Dukemon."

Dukemon's eyes widened, as if he had just seen something indescribable. "What? How?" He had more questions than those, but the fact that there was a impostor Dukemon shocked him to no extent. This information on top of discovering a living Dexdorugreymon, he had not felt such fear since he was a child. He was lucky to even say those words, let alone speak.

"I my-self do not know." He continued. He could since the level of fear inside of his friend rise dramatically. "I do know, however, that he is a member of the Guilmon species. This species, as you know, are responsible for our friend, Dukemon. They are also capable of evolving into Megidramon, one of the four great dragons. His appearance, and the context of this book tells me there is more to the Guilmon species than we knights know." The room was again in commotion. Each knight asking similar questions to each other.

"Explain your research." Duftmon said, intrigued in the subject.

"Very well." He began, the commotion soon settled down to a few whispers. From where he was, he could hardly hear them. "The symbol on the chest represents the 'Great Digital Hazard'. If, by some event, the symbol begins to glow, the creature will swap color schemes. As illustrated here." He passed the book around the table, and waited for it to return to him before continuing. "As you saw, Guilmon becomes a corrupt version of itself. A BlackGuilmon, if you will."

For the next several minutes, he described the evolutionary path of the "BlackGuilmon" to the knights. He concluded the speech with Code naming the species "ChaosDukemon."

"After making his presence known to me, he told me a very vague plan. His exact words were. 'Chaos will reign a new, and you knights cannot stop it.'" There was a look of horror in every knights eyes. His next words would shock them even more. "That is why I have called you hear, Imperialdramon. If what he said is true, then the Royal Knights will need all the help they could get. I could think of no one more qualified that the founder to join."

The others looked at Omegamon as if he were not a digimon. All the while, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode was happier than ever. "I... I'm finlay in!" He thought, celebrating in his mind, and staying calm on the outside

Well, that concludes the Fourth chapter, thanks for waiting! Chapter Five coming soon. R&R!
