Chapter 3: The Calling of the 6
A few weeks after the 28th of August the 4 sovereigns appeared in the cave of hope and Gennai then told them the first part of the prophesy came true.
"The crest of light along with the crests of hope, innocence, and life has been activated and the 8 children are all born." Gennai said
"Then it is time to call forth the 6 children to test them against this dark threat that has been rising." Azulongmon said
"Are you sure this threat is that powerful that we are going to have to call 6 children to seal him away?" Gennai asked
"Yes the 6 crests which each child belongs to are going to come to us before we send in the 8 children to the digital world." Zhuqiaomon said
"We need the child of reliability, the child of courage, the child of friendship, the child of love, the child of sincerity, and the child of knowledge to come from the future to see if they could work as a team and to see if they could handle the challenges if the digital world and seal away this new threat." Baihumon said
"If they succeed then they will have no knowledge of the events that took place. We can't risk the powers of light & hope yet for we have to see if they could handle this task without relying on the others." Ebonwumon said
"Very well my lords; for the will of the digital world calls them forth. Ayden has been born and another boy holds the same powers as Ayden also have been born on the same day." Gennai said
"How do you know that it was Ayden and not someone else?" Azulongmon asked
"The golden light that shot through the digital world came from Ayden fro the crests responded to his life force and he actually appeared but the other child I have no clue to who he is." Gennai said
"We will worry about that later, right now we have to call the children here so we could protect our realms and make sure the threat doesn't rise there as well." Zhuqiaomon said
Gennai grabbed the 6 crests and the digieggs associated with the crests and placed them on a point of the 6 pointed star and called forth the 6 children who represent the crests on the star. The 4 sovereigns then left to guard the gates to the dark area while Gennai explained to the digidestined as the 6 Digimon appeared right next to each child.
"Welcome to the digital world, my name is Gennai and I have called all of you here so you could help stop the spread of darkness with the aid of the Digimon who are standing right next to you." Gennai said
"I'm sorry mister but I think you have us confused with someone else." Taichi said
"You are not in fact Taichi Yagami, a young boy who has a little sister and loves soccer and hates your mother's cooking?" Gennai asked
"Yeah! But I go by Tai and my parents use my father's last name which is Kamya." Taichi said unsure
"Don't worry Tai we won't let anything happen to you or the others." Agumon said
"How do you know who Tai is?" Yamato asked
"I know all of you children for you all have been chosen long before you were born. You were all called here by the traits you mostly represent and they will help you all but you have to figure out how to use them and stop the threat of darkness from spreading." Gennai said
"Matt are you ready to fight with me and stop this from destroying my world?" Gabumon asked
"I will help out in what ever way I could but I am not going to like doing this. My brother has been sick and he hasn't been getting better." Yamato said
"Who does those belong to and why are they not here helping us on this quest?" Sora asked
"Those 4 crests are very important and their powers must remain hidden right now. I don't know who they belong to yet for the crests are cloaking them right now. Well 3 of the 4 crests belong to 3 boys which one of the crests are shared by all three while 2 of the boys represent all 3 crests. They will come to aid the digital world in 2 different times which once one has already fought and he created the 3 crests and the other child will play a major part along with the child of light." Gennai said
"How many crests are there?" Biyomon asked
"I don't know how many there are right now but I do know that 10 crests will play a major role eventually." Gennai said
"It is curious that we have been chosen out of all the children in the world. How do the crests respond to us when there are billions of children who could represent the crests as much as we do?" Kourshiro asked
"What do you mean; you don't want to help me save my world?" Tentomon asked
"I am missing shopping to get dirty and fight I have better things I could be doing even though I could accessorize with this crest though." Mimi said
"Oh Mimi don't you see that you are doing something amazing and that could you are going to gain a new friend for life?" Palmon asked
"How do you know this is not a trap and that we all are not going to die or become slaves to these creatures?" Joyu asked
"Lighten up Joe this is not a trap and what makes you think we want you as slaves? Me personally I would rather torture you and then feed you to the piranhas." Gomamon said playfully
"We are all going to DIE, save me; I promise I won't miss another exam again in my life." Joyu yelled and then fainted.
"Well was that necessary Gomamon, you probably scared the kid to death." Biyomon said
"I was only trying to get him to lighten up a little; I didn't mean to make him faint like that." Gomamon said
Taichi found some water and threw it on Joe causing him to scream.
"Ah I'm drowning; the piranhas are going to eat me." Joyu panicked
"Chill out dude you are fine and nothing is attacking you for Gomamon was only kidding." Taichi said
Joyu looked around and realized he wet himself for he was so scared and everyone laughed at him for his excitement. With all this going on the children started to get ready for what lies ahead of them.
"So where are we Agumon?" Taichi asked
"We just left the cave of hope which is under Lord Seraphimon's castle." Agumon said
Oh wow that has to be the most beautiful castle in the world. Mimi said
"That belongs to Lord Seraphimon, he is the highest ranking level of angels and he is fair and just. He always thinks of others and that castle is the symbol of hope over the entire digital world. His castle overlooks primary village which is the beginning of life for every Digimon." Palmon said
"Could we go take a look in his castle, maybe we would be able to learn something about this darkness?" Kourshiro asked
"Well Lord Seraphimon has gone away and we don't know when he will return. I suppose it would be wise to see if we could learn anything about this darkness." Tentomon said
"Matt are you alright, you have been really quiet and hasn't even been near the group at all?" Gabumon asked
"While they are all going to the castle there is a darkness growing and my brother needs me. He is really sick and that usually means something bad is going to happen." Yamato said
"Well Matt things will work out for all you need is hope and you will see things will be ok." Gabumon said reassuringly
The kids all end up in Seraphimon's castle and the all felt like they were in the heavens.
"Welcome to Lord Seraphimon's Castle, here you will find everything you need and you are welcome to stay as long as you want." Clavis Angemon said
"We wish to learn about this darkness spreading throughout your world." Kourshiro said
"Well in order to know about the darkness I must give you a history lesson of our world." Clavis Angemon said
"Very well if it will help us out on this quest then we will listen." Sora said
"Ok well my story starts at the beginning of our world, the digital world was made in harmony and the creator watched over the world protecting it from harm. His name is Yggdrasil lord of the digital world and he called forth 12 knights to stand up and fight for justice. Alphamon was the leader and he was always fair and just. Omnimon was acting leader when Alphamon was not around. Omnimon's right hand Mon was Gallantmon who was outspoken and fought for what was right despite the others. Magnamon and Ulforce Veedramon were loyal until the end while Dynasmon and Crusadermon were members of the security. Duftmon, Sleipmon and Exemon were generals of the knights while Craniummon was the strategist and the founder of the royal knights but an unofficial member was Imperialdramon Pallid Mode. Together they fought for justice when this darkness affected their creator. Their creator ordered the Royal Knights to start attacking weak and useless Digimon who would have no use in his grand design.
Gallantmon went to the holy ones to tell them what Yggdrasil was planning and he knew in his heart that it was wrong. The holy ones told him to follow his heart and that they would fight along side him until the end. Gallantmon then went to Alphamon and told him his thoughts and Alphamon agreed and they tried to convince the others what they were doing was wrong when Yggdrasil heard about this and cast them out as traitors. Yggdrasil ordered to kill them if they get in the way to creating a perfect utopia. Alphamon, Gallantmon, and the holy ones came together to try and stop the royal knights from killing innocent Digimon. Omnimon who was carrying out his master's orders told the others to attack them for they are standing in the way of our lord. The battle waged on and Omnimon nearly killed Gallantmon when one of the holy ones threw himself in front of the attack giving Gallantmon his life force which caused him to change to Gallantmon crimson mode. With this new strength coming from Gallantmon the other members slowly started to see that Gallantmon was right. Omnimon, Ulforce Veedramon, and Magnamon remained fighting the rest of the royal knights. Finally after several days of fighting and the death of countless of innocent Digimon Omnimon realized what he was doing and joined the others to fight Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil felt betrayed tried to wipe out the digital world but the royal knights and the holy ones fought long and hard which they managed to seal Yggdrasil away for eternity.
With Yggdrasil gone the royal knights called forth 4 Digimon who would protect the seal in which Yggdrasil rests in and they were known as the 4 great sovereigns. The royal knights also told the holy ones that they should chose 3 to guide and protect as well. The holy ones chose Seraphimon who is the guardian of the wind and hope, Ophanimon who is the guardian of light who is fair and beautiful above all other Digimon, and Cherubimon who monitors the dark area and is the guardian of destiny. One other group of Digimon was also selected to watch over the digital world and they are known as the Olympic 12. Together these Digimon created the grand council in which they all met to discuss the digital world. For years they protected the digital world when a dark Digimon threatened the balance of the digital world. He managed to corrupt 3 angels, and 4 beasts Digimon who became the demon lords. With this going on years of war broke out and Seraphimon sacrificed himself knowing he would be born and a child will help him free the digital world. Thousands of years have passed and the war waged on and then 6 children came from the world of man and helped save the digital world. 4 of the children fell to the darkness and fought against everything they came to fight for. They were known as the 4 horsemon of the apocalypse and they released a virus which nearly wiped out the digital world but one boy who was the key to save the world used his hope, innocence, and life to spread the antibodies to the rest of the digital world where he purified the 4 horsemon of the apocalypse. They were able to stop the spread of the X Virus and they defeated Gran Dracmon once and for all. The 4 sovereigns felt that they needed to make sure the X Virus would no longer be released so they sealed the 4 children into crystals which each sovereign took a crystal and their Digimon was sealed away in absolute darkness. It is said the children was affected by 4 ancient shadows that have been around since the beginning of time. These shadows serve one being who is the true king of darkness and that is who you children have come to fight. It is said that he is filled with all of the pain and sorrow of any world and he has the power to destroy almost everything. You children must learn how to work as a team and know the importance of each crest that you have if you are to succeed in defeating the true king of darkness." Clavis Angemon said
"If the shadows who affected 4 of the children works for the king of darkness then why was Gran Dracmon able to use them for their bidding?" Kourshiro asked
"I guess in order to release the shadows Gran Dracmon had to agree to release the king of darkness so he could rule. Even though the shadows have fused with the shadow digidestined the king of darkness could pull their powers and infect any Digimon with them." Clavis Angemon said
"Then how are we going to fight something that no one could destroy?" Yamato asked
"The key is within your crests, if you could unite them then they will help you out on your journey to help save our world." Clavis Angemon said
"How do we unite them when we don't even know how we got here?" Sora asked
"Sora you are the digidestined of love, it is a trait that will guide others and provide hope but you must face something in which only you could know in order to activate your crest." Clavis Angemon said
"How is this going to help us?" Matt asked
"Matt your crest is friendship and in order to activate your crest you must learn to trust the others and keep them all together." Clavis Angemon said
"Well being I am the oldest I must make sure the others is safe." Joe said
"Joe you hold the crest of reliability for you have a strong sense of responsibility for your age." Clavis Angemon said
"This is all very curious it shows that this castle responded to the strange light that wrapped around the world on the 28th of August in 1986." Izzy said
"That was the day my brother was born and it was weird for he came out shining bright blue." Matt said
"It is true that this castle responded to the light that spread through your world as well as my world. If your brother came out glowing then he is the future child of the ancient prophesy we have been waiting for." Clavis Angemon said
"How is Matt's younger brother apart of the digital world?" Izzy asked
"It is said that a child born of pure light shall come and save the world; this child will hold 3 important traits which are hope, innocence, and life. Izzy your curiosity is why you have been chosen to represent the crest of friendship and it is your hunger for knowledge is why you are here." Clavis Angemon said
"How do we unite the crests?" Tai asked
"Tai your crest is courage and with that it will take a great amount of courage to fight the king of darkness and you are going to have to figure out a way to spread courage to the others in order to unite them and Mimi your crest is sincerity for a sincere heart will help the others gain the courage, love and friendship. These 6 crests work very well with each other and when you figure out the powers behind the crests then you will finally be able to work as one team." Clavis Angemon said
The group of 6 ate dinner and all cleaned up and fell asleep where Clavis Angemon kept watch over the night. Morning came and the digidestined ate breakfast and then bid goodbye to Clavis Angemon to set out on their adventure.
