Hey, hey hey. It's the Digital Knight Of Heroes with Chapter 9! So there isn't really that much action in this chapter, but 10 is going to be a lot like Dynasty Warriors, so, lots of violence next time, today we have plot. Well then, let's kick things off with Chapter 9.

"I trust that the four of you are ready for battle?"

Wendigomon was the first to speak. "You asked our soldiers be ready, so I we did as you commanded."

"Excellent, today a major tournament ends in CITY and there will be many festivities. Master Lucemon says we are to attack at Midnight, if this is successful, nothing will stand in our way. This is the one time of the year CITY is fully connected. We enter CITY through the teleporters. Hyogamon from the North, Ogremon the East, Fugamon the South, and Wendigomon the West."

Black Agumon and Hagurumon had snuck away from work and were eating by Ogremon's tent, they heard everything that was going on in the conversation via mirror.

"I don't believe it," said Hagurumon, "I thought this was over food or mistreatment from other Digimon but this!"

"I know people in CITY! I figured we would protest there for food assistance and the others were for our protection!" The two huddled together.

"We need to get to CITY and warn everybody."

"Okay, we've got to go quick, or we'll be deleted for sure." The two nodded and scampered off through the woods by base camp.

David:

6 hours earlier:

I had just finished lunch since the finals weren't for another hour, I called together the group, and everybody was there except Ryan and Maria, who had been distant since yesterday.

"Everyone," called Alice, "No matter the outcome, at long last we have our first Eclipse Wing victory!" We asked for the bill.

"At long last," said a man at the counter. A yellow insect Digimon sat next to him, FanBeemon if I remembered correctly. I then knew who he was suddenly, this was Kain, our Chief and Maria's father. "Don't worry about the bill, I've got it."

"How's Maria holding up," asked Scott.

"She was really shaken up after what happened yesterday, but she's fine." We all sighed.

"I also mean about the whole hair thing." Kain laughed a bit.

"Don't think she'll forgive us on that though."

Cassidy calmed herself from laughing too much about the green hair. "She must take completely after her mother, she looks nothing like you."

"Not at all, her mother had the complete opposite personality."

I wondered what he meant by that. "Had?" Kain sighed.

"I'd say only your fathers would understand my plight." He waved us off as we left.

Scott stretched a bit. "Well that was something."

"To think the Chief would be partnered with such a little thing," said Cassidy. Her twin was quick to respond.

"I hear that FanBeemon's fully powered form is impossibly strong, stronger than both Apollomon and Dianamon." We all seemed to doubt that, except for him. I always felt nothing could best my parents.

"It's probably not true, I don't think I've heard of him fighting in years." I checked the time on my watch, it read 1:30, meaning we had only minutes to get to the stadium in time. We picked up the pace, and made it with only a minute to spare. Taiyo and I made our may into the waiting room and the others went to the stands VIP probably thanks to the passes my parents gave us.

"You ready for this?" Taiyo checked her hair to make sure it looked presentable to the massive crowd.

"I've had to deal with huge crowds surrounding me my entire life, I think I'll be fine."

"All right then, shall we go?" I nodded and made sure Kotemon was ready. We stepped out into the light and saw Ryan and Maria, with Stingmon and Veedramon by their sides neither with a positive look on their face. We stood silent for a moment and had our partners Digivolve.

"Dinohyumon, together we win this fight."

"Right!"

"We'll fight with you too!"

"Wait... Ryan! Maria! You're afraid of that happening again, right?"

"Yes... why wouldn't we be?"

"Well don't let it happen! The only reason you couldn't control DinoBeemon was because you were afraid you had created a monster!"

"What makes you say that?" Maria was the one more in control yesterday so she wasn't quite sure what I meant.

Taiyo was the one to speak up. "Ryan, you fear making a monster after Stingmon Dark-Digivolved, this was different, DinoBeemon was created from your strong will to win, to show the world how strong you are, as did Maria. You lost control when you fell to fear." This stuck with him and cleared his mind.

"I'm only fighting you at full strength Ryan. Might I suggest a One-Shot fight?"

"Fine, let's go. Stingmon!" Stingmon got into his battle stance, as did the other Digimon.

"Spiking Strike!"

"V-Breath Arrow!"

"Hand of Fate!"

"Dragon Buster!"

Alice, 8 hours later:

In the end, it was a short fight, each Digimon let out all stops into a single attack. Though they all stood at the end of the attack, Angemon and Veedramon were the first to fall, and Stingmon and Dinohyumon both fell at the same time or... close. It took and hour of examination, but they determined that Dinohyumon fell slightly before Stingmon.

David was disappointed that he lost, but was more than happy that he'd helped Ryan with his problem. At the moment we were walking down a street together and saw some amazing things from all the different parts of CITY. Boy could the Light Fang throw a firework show.

"Mmn mms ms mreat!" We all stared at Taiyo who was shoving food in her mouth faster than well, anything in existence. "Sorry, I said, 'man this is great," said Taiyo.

"Agreed." We passed by stands with novelties and such. With Taiyo stopping at almost every single one with food, it was a miracle she manage to stay in perfect shape.

We were all running about the shops, watching replays on screens from this year's tournament and years prior. I saw the my parents as well as Maria's talking in the square, later to be joined by Julia and Glare. I was walking around with the twins Gabumon by my side at the moment. We then sat by a gate where we had a good view of the fireworks.

"How many fireworks do they have? This has been going on for an hour."

"All of the fireworks sister, all of them." We sat for a while longer and as the fireworks came to a close, we heard a teleporter go off nearby us and a pair of Digimon came out. They collapsed as they stepped off and we rushed over to them.

"It's okay, they're just unconscious, we should probably take them to go get help." Chris nudged one that looked like a cogwheel, it stirred and woke with a start.

"Black Agumon, I think we made it!" He stirred free of Chris' grip, but fell over and went unconscious again. We panicked and took them to the town square where we saw an emergency medical station. We weaved through the massive crowds, Chris and Cassidy carrying them and following my lead.

"There!" We sprinted into the medical facility and got somebody to take care of the two Digimon.

"What do you think that one meant by 'we made it', asked Cassidy.

Chris looked in the Database of Digimon built into his Digivice. "Hagurumon, Machine-species, Rookie level, Virus type. And Black Agumon, basically the same except for being Dragon-species."

I shrugged it off. "So no clear relationship, I guess we should just ask them when they recover."

"They'll be fine in a few minutes." Chris stayed behind, as did Cassidy. I went to go see what the others were doing.

"Man, they really one upped themselves this year." Scott stared up at the sky.

"When do you think they'll fire the big and special things."

"Dunno. Midnight?" I started walking up to them and bumped into Taiyo, who'd finally stopped eating.

"Oh hey, where are the twins? Weren't they with you?"

I nodded. "We found a few passed out Digimon, they're watching over them right now."

"Huh." She brushed her hair out of her face, and I heard my holo-watch go off. I looked to see who was calling. "Oh hey, it's them!" I picked up to hear from Chris.

"Hey, so yeah... these two were a little odd, they ran off saying they needed to find the Chiefs ASAP, we're out here looking for them. Think you can help us?" There was a small explosion and a tent burst into flame.

"Think I found them." We signed of and made our way to the tent where Black Agumon and Hagurumon were apologizing to a Goburimon. I noticed my parents and the Chiefs approaching to see what was going on.

"Yes, we did it Hagurumon! We found them!"

Kain crouched down to look at them. "Why were you looking for us? Answer me!"

Their expressions changed quickly and Hagurumon began to explain their situation. "You see Black Agumon and I joined up with a group talking about coming to CITY in mass numbers, we thought it was protest for those who need food out there."

"Go on."

"But that's not what it was at all! They want to take over the world, and are planning on attacking CITY with their army!" Shock went through the whole crowd.

"When?!" Kaun tried to hide it but there was great worry in his voice.

"What's the time?!" Kain checked his watch.

"11:32, why do you ask?" Hagurumon started panicking again.

"At midnight! That only leaves 28 minutes!" The crowd panicked and began to scatter. Mom got a microphone from an assistant of Glare and cleared her voice.

"WILL EVERYONE PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP, AND CALM DOWN!" The whole of CITY had gone quiet out of respect or fear. "WE NEED EVERYONE TO PREPARE FOR BATTLE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" Everyone went to go do their emergency jobs. After the Grimmon incident, the Union had decided that it was a good idea to be ready should other Digimon try what he did, thankfully, this was going smoothly.

Tamers moved as Kain and the other Chiefs ordered, in the four cardinal directions as they had been informed. Even younger tamers had to be ready. Eventually our group split in pairs again. Ryan and Maria to the West, Scott and David to the South, the Twins to the North, and Taiyo and I to the East.

"Hagurumon, we should go help too!" The two digimon scampered off to the North. I suddenly felt all the fear wash over me like a tidal wave, but I knew I wouldn't have time to be afraid as I heard the first explosion go off over my head.

So I got this chapter done really fast without the action, so I'm working on lots of that for next time. My first review Question today from 'a reader'. (I did copy paste)

Q: I have a questin I don't play games that I don't understand, so who the Fuck, is Maria's mother?'

A: So for those of you who don't know the story of Cyber Sleuth or Re:Digitize Decode. You wouldn't know who her mother is, She'll get her formal introduction in the next chapter but her name is (I know I have the first name right but not the last name) Rina Shinomiya. Why put her in here? Well she and Sayo made an appearance in Cyber sleuth, and I just found her to be a great character and thought it funny how she looked so much how I envisioned Maria but had the opposite personality.

Anyways I've been the Digital Knight of Heroes, and I'll see you all next time.
