Hey guys! Lunamon810 here, as usual. I'm proud to say it didn't take me a freaking century to write this chapter. Haha. Anyway, I'd just like to say thanks for being patient with me. And hopefully there will be more chapters to come!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Digimon in any way, shape, or form, nor have I ever!
Claimer: I DO own Amber & Seth.
Once again, special thanks to Latina Shewolf for the summary below.
Izzy and Mimi were shocked to hear that Amber and Davis chose the bad side. Izzy really showed his trait of knowledge analysing the situation. Seth gave them the choice to side with him or go against him. Amber on the other hand got upset at her brother since she is now evil and can't do anything to help Mimi and Izzy. She ended up making a dash to her room to cry since she has gone against everything she believes in. Poor Amber. She went playing her guitar a bit singing when she saw Davis in her room. Good thing Davis is there to comfort her. Seth on the other hand is feeling rather guilty for bringing Amber into the dark side. It is something Matt wouldn't have done to her.
"Matt are you sure about this?" Sora asked. They were next to Etemon's train right outside the castle. Wizardmon and Lucemon were keeping guard in case Etemon came back. Matt nodded.
"Amber's in there."
"We've got to make a decision, Matt. Do we risk the four of us, Wizardmon, Lucemon, and our digimon for Amber, Davis, Lunamon, and V-mon?" Willis reminded him.
"I'm not leaving here without Amber." Matt said sternly.
"Then let us go while the coast is clear." Wizardmon advised, and with that they crept up to the gate walls, and slowly walked around it, keeping pressed against the wall. They made it to the castle without any problems. They waited for the door to open, but when it did it caught them all off guard. Amber and Davis walked out, and when they looked at Matt Amber froze, and Davis slowed and walked to Amber's right.
"Amber, we need to get you out of here." Matt said. "Where's Lunamon?"
"Inside." Amber said, forcing herself to keep a straight face.
"Can you get her?" Matt asked.
"Why would I do that?" Amber asked, avoiding eye contact.
"What, do you want to stay here or something?" Sora said.
"He's here." Amber said, and her and TK accidentally made eye contact.
"The human king. You know him." TK said.
"Seth." Amber said quietly and bit her lip.
"Your brother?" Matt asked. Amber nodded. "And you're going to stay here, because of him?"
Amber winced, and looked at Davis. "He's my blood brother Matt..."
"Do you just not care about us anymore?" Matt asked." He came in so we don't matter? Is that it Amber?"
"No Matt...I just...I thought I lost him...You'd do the same thing if TK was the human king!"
"But he's not! Because he takes being a digidestined seriously!"
"But if he was Matt!"
"But he's not!"
Two Meremon walked out of the castle doors. "Princess Amber, are these kids bothering you?"
A little caught off by 'princess', Amber look at Matt. "No, thank you Meremon."
"Shall you all come inside?"
"In a little bit Meremon." Amber said.
"Very well." the two Meremon said, then left.
"You have to get out of here." Amber said. "He'll try to get you to co-sign with us. You can't be here."
"Is someone here besides you?" Willis asked.
"Izzy and Mimi." Amber said quietly.
"What about you Davis?" Matt said. "Are you going to abandon us too?"
Amber froze again. What if Davis left her? What if she was all alone again? She felt so stupid, how could she let herself get caught up in this. It was obvious Davis didn't belong on the bad side. She felt Davis' arm wrap around her. "I go where Amber goes." He said smiling.
"Have you all been brainwashed!" Matt exclaimed.
Seth walked outside. "Oh hello Matt, Sora, Willis, TK."
TK froze up this time. Was Seth mad he had gotten out?
"Hi." TK said.
"Who are you?" Matt demanded.
"I'm Seth, Amber's brother."
"Watch your wording." Amber muttered, staring at Seth.
"I thought you were dead." Matt said.
"A lot of people did."
"What is with you? Coming here and turning my sister evil?"
"She's more my sister than yours." Seth replied shortly.
"At least I didn't brainwash her."
"Why don't we ask her who she would rather go with?" Seth asked.
"Fine."
"Keep talking like I'm not here." Amber said.
"Well Amber?" Matt asked.
Amber's eyes widened. She looked between her brothers. Which should she go with? She just got Seth back, but he was evil. Matt was here, but he was mad. Amber ran past Seth into the castle, trying to make it to her room. Someone grabbed her wrist, so she turned around, ready to fight them off. Matt stood there, looking worried.
"Amber, what's going on?" Matt asked.
"Matt this is all so confusing. I still haven't figured out how Seth ended up here. And I don't know who I like better as a brother, I never thought I'd have to choose. I thought Seth wouldn't be a choice anymore by time I came to your house Matt." Amber said, tears pushing against the walls of her eyes. Matt was too shocked to speak. Was he the one making Amber cry? He put his hands on her shoulders. They met eyes, and a few tears trailed down Amber's cheeks. She felt like between yesterday and today, she'd become a pretty big cry baby. As for Matt, he felt worse by the second. Amber slowly turned away. She ran to the staircase, flew up the stairs, and into her bedroom, where she locked the door, although if Seth wanted to he could just unlock it. She laid on her bed, only letting the tears out that pushed their way out. She fell asleep, into a dream where she just aimlessly walked, thinking about everything that'd just happened.
When Amber woke up, she was staring into the faces of Seth, Davis, and Matt. Matt gave the first sigh of relief, followed by Seth.
"I was afraid you wouldn't wake up." Matt said.
"Like you did when mom and dad died. Remember? The doctors said your emotional state is what keep you asleep for a week straight." Seth said
Amber nodded. She sat down in the middle of the bed, thinking. Seth sat down to her left, Matt to her right. Each of them wrapped an arm around her as Davis sat down on the chair in front of her. Amber listened to the quietness, and focused on the loved feeling as her mind tried to figure out the answers she'd been troubled with. She couldn't choose one of her brothers, it was impossible and wrong. Did joining Seth make her evil? She'd never know. Should she get Matt out of there before he became evil too? Probably. She didn't know exactly.
"How long was I asleep?" She asked.
"Just five hours." Seth said.
Amber nodded. She looked at Matt, then Seth. No. Matt couldn't become evil. Not if she had a say in it.
"Well Princess, you have a crowning ceremony to plan." Seth said.
Amber furrowed her eyebrows at him. "Crowning ceremony? Where? What?"
"You have to decide where." Seth said smiling. "Come on." He stood up and motioned for all three to follow. He brought them to a big room where a huge screen of the digital world was. He explained the advantages and disadvantages of each area, the sewers, the marsh, the large groups of villages, all kinds of different places. Lunamon and Amber both focused on trying to pick a area.
"The grassland." Amber said, nodding at the point on the map. It had some mini villages scattered amongst it, and she'd like to help them since they looked like they were struggling. Seth nodded.
"Grassland it is. I'll go alert the kingdom. Your crowning will be in just a few hours, you'd best get ready."
"Anything I need to know?"
"Not as of the moment." Seth said smiling, then left the room. Amber looked at Matt, and a chill went down her spine. How could she get him out of here? Honestly she didn't want him to leave, she felt better with him there. But she couldn't be selfish...
"You okay?" Matt asked.
Amber looked up at him, and realized she'd probably looked pretty sad. "Oh yeah, sorry." She said smiling.
"Something's wrong." Matt replied.
Amber looked out of the corner of her eye to avoid any eye contact what so ever. Matt stepped forward, paused, then continued walking, and put his hands on her shoulders, Amber took a deep breath and looked at Matt, looking straight into his eyes. They stood like this for a minute or two, and everyone but the two of them left the room.
"Tell me what's wrong." Matt said.
"I don't want to be evil Matt," Amber said, slightly shaking her head. "But Seth...I can't leave him. I already lost him once."
"I know." Matt said quietly.
"He's going to try to get you to join us if you stay any longer." Amber said. "You can't be evil too Matt. You guys have already lost Davis, Izzy, Mimi, and Clary and me because of me. You have got to defeat us."
"We will. But I'm not leaving here without you." Matt said. "You're too important to me, and the team."
"I'm only one digidestined." Amber said. "If you get out of here maybe you can get Izzy, Mimi, Clary, and Davis to go with you."
"If I leave you're coming with me. Besides, Davis wouldn't leave without you. And I doubt Clary would either."
"I still can't leave Seth, and even if I wanted to if I did leave he would find out immediately and be very mad, he'd kill us all in seconds."
"No he won't. You need to trust me. We're all too strong to be defeated."
Amber's eyes looked down again. Could they really defeat him?
"But...if we defeat him...will he...die?" she asked. "To defeat him, will we have to kill him?"
"Of course not." Matt said, his expression softening. He pulled his adoptive sister into a hug, and when they parted, they decided she should go through with everything until they figured out a good plan. She returned to her room and took another shower, then changed into a knee length milky chocolate brown flowy silk dress. She put on black heels with a strap around the ankle, and she found a black dressy jacket with elbow-length sleeves. She applied a thin layer of eye-liner and figured that to be good enough, and straightened her hair. When she was done, Davis knocked on her door.
When she opened the door she found him dressed up in a black shirt and black dress pants with a dark brown king-like robe. She found out on the way to their carriage that Seth had told Davis he would be the king alongside her. Once they got to the grassland they found a huge stage had been set up, and were sat down in two thrones with gold-colored cushions. She saw amongst the crowd of digimon the digidestined who'd been at the castle. She felt a little more comforted by this.
Soon, the crowning ceremony began. Seth emerged onto the stage and stood behind the podium on the front of the stage.
"Hello Digimon of the grassland. I am your human ruler, Seth. Today we have gathered to witness the crowning of your and only your new rulers, Davis and Amber." he said.
A Gazimon brought a pillow-looking object with two gold crowns with multi colored jewels at the peak of each point. Seth put the first crown on Amber, then the second on Davis. There was a loud round of applause, and Seth thanked all of the digimon for coming. Construction on their small castle started immediately, and they would be staying on the stage to start their ruling for now. The digidestined stuck around as Davis and Amber discussed issues with the elders of the towns, as they tried to help find solutions to major problems in the villages.
Once the sun started going down Seth returned with a feast for both them and the villages, as Amber had requested. They all ate, Amber, Davis, and Seth discussing what they'd touched base on with the elders. Seth agreed with what they'd done so far, and gave them further advice on what to do next. When night fell across the digital world, the digidestined and Seth returned back to the castle.
Amber and Lunamon returned to their usual room. Lunamon talked about how for the past few days she'd been helping Clary do things around the castle. Amber congratulated Lunamon, and Lunamon started to babble on about how awesome the crowning ceremony was. Soon Davis knocked on the door, and Amber let him in. Lunamon left to go play some game with V-mon, and Davis and Amber closed the door and sat on the bed.
"So we're king and queen now." Davis said, smiling.
"I guess this means...we're..." Amber was too nervous to say it at first, but finally pushed through. "Boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Yep." Davis said, and wrapped his arms around her, and Amber did the same with him. Amber just enjoyed the happy moment they were experiencing. It was getting late, but the two just laid back on the bed. Davis laid down on his back, and Amber curled up next to him, and both drifted off into sleep, worn out from the very productive day they'd had.
