Welcome back everyone, for the first chapter of the Survival arc, and Chapter 11. I hope you all enjoy, so let's get started.
"Nineteen years ago, after an accident during a fight with ZeedMillenniummon I was transported through time and space landing in an alternate reality," said Sayo.
"I'm actually from that reality, as are Kain and a few others who couldn't make it here today."
"Does that make us Aliens? And who's ZeedMillenniummon?"
"By technicality it does, sweetie. And ZeedMillenniummon is a member of Gaia Origin, a group of some of the strongest Digimon in the world. "
"Now I can go threaten to probe people. Now ain't that great, if I want a job outside of Tamer I can put that on my resume." Koh smirked about something.
"You ever do any... probing yourself Kain?"
"This is serious Koh."
"Exactly."
"My daughter is right here, and so are a bunch of other people."
"I'll take that as a yes."
"Go to hell." Sayo cleared her throat to try and get our attention.
"Now then, I met Rina and Kain shortly after arriving and they were out to destroy the Demon lords of their world, I helped them, and, we succeeded."
"Great, that means they can beat these right?"
"Unfortunately, no. When I was over there I learned that Digimon here are stronger than most of the ones there, the Tamers who's Digimon came with them are just as strong as ours. Each Demon lord was extremely difficult to kill, each reaching power equal to that of Grimmon, now think of them here."
"It could mean absolute destruction," I blurted out.
"That's exactly it Ryan, not only that but in this reality we're missing something that could very well be our only Salvation. The Royal Knights."
"Who are they? Why not Gaia Origin?"
"The Royal Knights are a group of thirteen powerful Digimon, but, the best person, rather Digimon, to tell you would be Gallantmon of Gaia Origin."
"Sayo, why choose them, why these eight children," asked Julia.
"No matter how hard we train, we can grow no longer, we peaked a while ago, our only hope is that the next generation is able to surpass us, otherwise, we might as well give up. Besides, we must manage the defenses."
"As somebody who was one of their original hunters, let me tell you the Demon lords are no joke," said Rina, "We'll send you to the Transfield, there we will hope Gaia Origin will train you, we've also left some new clothes at your homes for the expedition." We were dismissed while they discussed strategical places to search out Devimon.
At my apartment I found the new clothes they'd promised, it was Grey, military style, and with a grey scarf. I set it aside and fell asleep on my bed. I didn't dream, I almost never did, instead it was a black abyss, and I woke to Wormmon's voice.
"Ryan! Ryan! Wake up, the others are here!" I shook him off and saw that I'd been asleep since about two, yesterday. It was 7:30 now, I threw on my new clothes and met the others outside. Koh was the one bringing us to Gaia Origin, as apparently everyone else who had access to Transfield was occupied. He punched in coordinates and we warped in.
Almost as soon as we arrived we were met by a group of huge fangs. It backed off. "Long time no see SkullBaluchimon, how are the other 'Merchants of Death'?" The colossal skeleton sighed.
"GranDracmon figured this would be a gould way to repay some of our best customers, Gaiomon agreed, Mercurymon and Spinomon continue to bicker over who is the third strongest, and WaruSeadramon is... WaruSeadramon."
"He still trying to make his own theme song?"
"Alas yes. Now come children, I will take you to the Gaia Origin." Koh waved goodbye to us as we followed SkullBaluchimon through the ever changing Transfield. We went over bridges across islands, over mountains and even a glacier before we arrived in the Ruins. At the end we saw a black Digimon with wings, he turned as soon as he heard us and pointed a massive gun at us.
"Easy Beelzemon," a red Digimon with magnificent blue wings walked up behind us. Beelzemon put his gun away. "I am Gallantmon, the leader of Gaia Origin, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is ours," Chris acted as formally as he could, "may I ask when we begin our training?" This clearly pleased Beelzemon.
"Straight to the point, I'm liking them already!" He left somewhere.
"Potentially you may not get trained at all." We were all taken aback by this. Alice was the first to go crazy.
"W-why!?"
"Child, calm yourself, in order to see if you are ready, you must survive a month here in the Transfield." We all fell silent at the thought of this. "In the woodland area there is a cabin with room for all of you, there is food and other supplies there, the food will last three days."
"Then how will we last?!" David tried calming his sister who continued to panic.
"There is food around the island, it will be your job to search it out and not starve. Kowloon Co. and other members of Gaia Origin are around the island, bu the most we can give you is advice, and these." A blade materialized for each of us, each was a pure silver color with a black hilt, on the base of which was the symbol of the Kowloon Co.
"I've only seen two of these in my life," said David, "this is a Kowloon Blade."
"High class steel," said SkullBaluchimon, "I brought the metal from the depths of a cave on this island." We heard heavy footsteps behind us, and turned to see a Giant Demonic Digimon. "Ah, GranDracmon, sir."
"While the eight are the same, they are also different, it's what you do with them that defines themselves and you. Each has a name, one which you must learn on your stay here, one that you will give them."
Gallantmon turned as if to leave, but stopped. "I will tell all to you when the month is over, your time begins now." A gate opened beneath our feet and we fell through, landing in the woods, the mountains visible in the distance.
I stood and saw the cabin. "Cabin? It's more of a mansion!" We opened the giant doors and came to a main room, and saw that the whole place was perfectly symmetrical, I walked across the room and opened the door to find a large kitchen and dining area. I headed out and went up one of the sets of stairs and saw the other set went up to the same place.
"Ryan, in here." I followed David into the right of two doors and saw a large room with several beds, and a large bathroom, easily the size of my room and bathroom at home. The girls had apparently found the same thing on the other side. I started setting my things at my bedstand, which had a computer and with functions such as conversion and medical supplies.
"This is like a home away from home." Chris nodded and put his stuff on his bed. Our Digimon made themselves comfortable on unoccupied beds. I walked around the place a bit more, and we all met up in the dining hall.
"So our first priority is the food situation, anybody got any ideas?"
"If there are Digimon here, there must be food around here."
"True, but where do we look?" I thought on that for a moment.
"I think our only option is to split up and hope we find something. We can ration our food to last four days if we need to, but we need to find something now." No one else had any ideas so we decided to go with that. I was quick to leave, and made note of the mountains position to the Cabin.
"Ryan, wait!" I turned to see Wormmon trying to keep up with me, scuttling and tripping over himself. I waited for him to catch up and we walked through the woods for a while. The whole place had the same monotonous appearance, there wasn't a sign of anything other than us out here. "Oh hey look! Up in the tree!" I saw a bunch of bananas, and as I climbed to get it, something hit me hard in the face and the food was gone.
"You see what that was?"
"No, I was looking for more." He scanned the area and found another bunch and as he climbed up the tree he was knocked down and into me. Like before the food was gone.
"Where the hell did it go?"
"Looking for these?" I turned and saw a small blue dog Digimon with red boxing gloves, he held the bunches in one hand, and ate one in the other.
"Give them back, those are ours!"
"Now ain't you the feisty one, let's see if you can keep up." He started sprinting off somewhere and we gave chase. He made turns every now and then, but he never showed any signs of stopping until we came to a clearing. "Now I can say many never keep up with me on a chase, you're faster than you look." He set the bananas down and raised his fists. "Let's see how strong you are."
"Wormmon."
"Okay. Wormmon digivolve to, Stingmon!" Stingmon made a stab at it but it jumped and landed on Stingmon's head. Stingmon shook him off. As the dog fell he repositioned himself and launched himself off the ground, giving Stingmon a powerful uppercut and toppling him over onto me.
"You fight rather sloppily, though you seemed to be much more cool and calculated earlier, why is that?"
"Your kind has done things that have caused us to become monsters, now I'm really feeling like unleashing my inner monster." Stingmon stood and started glowing purple.
"Stingmon, digivolve to-"
"Double Backhand!" He hit Stingmon in the face again and degenerated him to Wormmon. He tossed us the bananas. "If you're referring to my status as a beast Digimon, then I must say that the one who did that to you is not me, we are all our own individuals." I pulled my Kowloon Blade and threw it at his head, though he grabbed it midair by the hilt and pointed it at my throat.
"Go on, do it!" He put the blade down and punched me in the face, knocking me out cold. For once, I actually dreamt while I was out, and I questioned what the Digimon told me. Maybe... it was time to put everything behind me, my dislike for beast Digimon included.
"Ryan..." I wondered who was calling me. "Ryan... Ryan!" I woke up with Taiyo shaking me. "Come on, it's time for our first dinner." She helped me up, and I saw I was back in the Cabin. I walked to the dining hall and saw everyone sitting at the table, with a large amount of food at the table, apparently Gaia Origin's definition of a single meal. I noticed a new guest at the table, the Digimon who'd knocked me out earlier.
"It's you! What the hell are you doing here?!" He tossed me something, my digivice, and helped himself to a steak.
"My name is Gaomon, and I brought you and Wormmon here, so could I get a little thanks instead?" He continued eating.
"Fine, thank you. Now will you please leave?"
"Can't exactly do that buddy, check your digivice." I did. Gaomon, Data, Rookie...
"In party!? What did you do?" He shrugged.
"I don't know, that fell out of your pocket and I picked it up. Also, your blade." I looked at the sword's hilt, written in Gold, 'Wolfsbane'. I stared at it for a second then put it away, one day down, twenty-seven to go.
Okay so, no questions today, just a simple farewell. I've been the Digital Knight of Heroes, and I'll see you all next time. Remember to review, favorite, and follow, it really shows your support.
