Digimon Tamers Crimson: Royal Knights Saga Final Part

The next morning all the Royal Knights were in their positions with Gallantmon riding on Grani who appeared to be spear heading Imperialdramon's group while Imperialdramon was leading Gallantmon's group. Gallantmon's group looked towards the fortress prepared to confront the army that awaited them while Imperialdramon's group would sneak in and take out Yggdrasil while his army was occupied at least according to Leopardmon's strategy that is. "Well Gallantmon? Any ideas?" Craniamon suggested upon seeing the army up ahead. Gallantmon turned towards them and said "Well because of our careful planning we've come this far haven't we?"

To that all the Royal Knights turned to each other and nodded in agreement. "Right now I think that even if we are outnumbered we are meant to either take this fortress, or die trying. So then, shall we go in for what might be one last battle?" Gallantmon said to all of them and in response they raised their hands and/or weapons in the air and said "Yes sir!" Gallantmon then turned towards the enemy and said "Alright everyone!" He raised his lance and pointed it towards the army steadily approaching them. "CHARGE!" He screamed before charging in with his comrades backing him up into the army of Digimon obstructing their path.

Meanwhile, Imperialdramon's group was heading into the fortress and they noticed that it seemed their plan was working until…. "It would appear that I should have kept some of my forces within the fortress." Imperialdramon and the knights turned to see the source of the voice was none other than Yggdrasil himself. "So, you're Yggdrasil correct?" Examon said pointing his cannon at the armored figure who merely nodded in response to his question. Afterwards Examon fired his cannon at Yggdrasil who merely raised his hand to erect a barrier that consisted of thick vines to block the shot.

"Interesting power you carry with you. However, it will take more than that to kill a god." Yggdrasil responded before preparing more vines to attack the knights. "We came prepared for your power Yggdrasil! And it will be your hubris that shall be your undoing." Imperialdramon said pointing his arm cannon at Yggdrasil. "In that case, I will enjoy turning all of you into my personal slaves so that you may join my army and rule over the Digital world." Yggdrasil responded before the knights began to charge at him full force.

Meanwhile, Gallantmon and the others seem to be doing very well against the army but then, a mysterious cloaked figure got in Gallantmon's way. "So you are the Royal Knight's newest asset in their hopeless quest for peace." Gallantmon then glared at this new opponent in front of him and said "So what if I am? What does it matter to you?" Silence then filled the air as these two opponents continued to stare at each other, as if calculating a strategy to take out one another but after a while they then charged each other and began to match blow for blow with each charge. With each blow there was noticeable damage on both Gallantmon's armor and this mysterious opponent whom upon seeing how torn the cloak was started to laugh.

"Now explain to me exactly why the hell you're laughing right now?" The figure then stood and slowly took off the cloak as though it were building up some dramatic tension. "It's simple really." The figure said before revealing who he was "I haven't had a good fight with any member of the Royal Knights in years! And yet, here you are evenly matching me as though you think you're stronger than me." The figure was revealed to be a large bipedal Digimon clad in silver armor with a purple cape flowing in the wind. "So then, this is where you've been all this time… Alphamon." The other Royal Knights upon hearing this discovery turned towards Gallantmon and saw that he was right about the former knight being on Yggdrasil's side. "Well now isn't this quite a touching reunion Omnimon? All of us on the battlefield once again only this time not as allies, but as enemies." Alphamon said turning towards Omnimon and then turning back towards Gallantmon "But enough about me, let's kill you!" He then proceeded to punch Gallantmon off Grani sending him towards the ground.

Meanwhile, Imperialdramon and his group were narrowly avoiding all of Yggdrasil's vines but it would seem that none of their attacks could pierce the God's seemingly indestructible defense. "Well then, it appears that you are all very skilled. But I'm afraid that this is the end of the Royal Knights." He then unleashed all of his vines and entangled most of the knights except Imperialdramon. "Take a good look Imperialdramon, this will be the last time you'll ever see your comrades ever again." Yggdrasil said before he proceeded to drain the knights of their energy. Imperialdramon looked at his knights and then focused his weapon on Yggdrasil.

"If you think that you can destroy me with that weapon, you are sadly mistaken. I have more power than you can possibly comprehend and yet you boast about being prepared?" Imperialdramon did not respond to Yggdrasil's statement and charged his attack and at that moment Yggdrasil then noticed something about Imperialdramon but before he could say that he was interrupted by Imperialdramon saying "POSITRON LASER!" and firing a beam that not only pierced the barrier but also mortally wounded Yggdrasil to the point of not being able to control his vines anymore. "Augh!"

Meanwhile, Gallantmon appeared to be struggling to keep up with Alphamon's movements and was trying to think up a plan to beat him. "So if I can't keep up with him, maybe I can deceive him with my unique ability." Gallantmon thought before deciding to hold up his cape and prepare for an attack. "Well then, Gallantmon I hope you've made peace with whatever you believe in." Alphamon said before drawing his great sword and charging at Gallantmon only to end up swinging down on dirt "Huh? Where are you spineless coward!?" Alphamon said before Gallantmon came from behind with a fully charged lance saying "LIGHTNING JOUST!" stabbing Alphamon from behind and it would seem that instead of turning into data he turned into what appeared to be an egg of sorts. "So, instead of dying you become a Digi-egg immune to Yggdrasil's influence." Gallantmon thought to himself before looking at the battlefield noticing all the Digimon beginning to fade away.

Meanwhile, Imperialdramon and the other Knights surrounded Yggdrasil who not only summoned a portal but also a strange symbol that like a vine. "Now then, before I bid you all farewell I give you a gift from me, to you." The symbol then began to shoot beams of light that struck not only the knights within the palace, but also all the ones outside except for Gallantmon considering he was a virus type of course. "Explain what you have done to us Yggdrasil!" Imperialdramon said but then Yggdrasil went inside the portal into the unknown. Ulforceveedramon went up to Imperialdramon and said "Sir, does this mean we won? Or does Yggdrasil mean to come back one day?" Imperialdramon said "It would appear that we have finally won but for now be wary of anything." Ulforceveedramon nodded before investigating the fortress further to find any stragglers.

After the knights outside were informed of their victory they all decided to have a bit of a celebration congratulating themselves for their effort to save the digital world. Gallantmon seemed to be the only one within the celebration who seemed to be unsatisfied with the results and he stared out into the sky wondering "Is peace just this simple, or is there more to it? Maybe my answers lie beyond this world and within that sphere in the sky. That might be where the humans live. I need to speak to Imperialdramon about this." Gallantmon then proceeded to enter the new throne room where Imperialdramon lied and he asked "Imperialdramon, may I have an audience with you?" Imperialdramon then responded "Of course Gallantmon. What is it that you wish to say?" Gallantmon then proceeded to ask "Where do Digimon go if they don't turn into data first of all?" Imperialdramon "There is a village where all Digimon eggs are tended to known as Primary Village or, the Village of Beginning if you will. I assume Alphamon's egg has been sent there?"

"Yes, Omnimon himself carried out this task himself and I was just curious that's all. Also I have an announcement." Gallantmon responded. "And what would that be?" Gallantmon then sighed before saying "I know that the Royal Knights have accomplished a lot of things over the past months since I've joined but, I feel that the answers I'm seeking aren't here but rather, up there."

"So you are leaving the Royal Knights I assume?" Imperialdramon said somewhat bluntly. Gallantmon responded "With a heavy heart, yes." Imperialdramon then said "That's a shame but then again maybe there might be a human waiting for you to come to him/her." Gallantmon then turned around to leave and said "It's not that peace is something I wanted but, I don't know anything about peace. So maybe the Human world might have the answers I'm looking for. But, once I find them I'll come back to see you again Imperialdramon." As Gallantmon was leaving towards the side door Imperialdramon said "Farewell Gallantmon! I hope that you find what you're looking for."

Afterwards Imperialdramon noticed a familiar figure approach him with the intention of striking him down. "I see, so that's what Yggdrasil meant by "gift"." Gallantmon was already outside of the fortress about to board Grani when suddenly he saw what appeared to be a drop of water near his boots. "That's odd; it's not raining out here or anything." He said before boarding Grani heading where the wind might take him.

Meanwhile in the Human world….

"Simon! Could you help out with closing time?" A woman by the name of Mei Matsuki called to Simon from the other room. "Will do Mrs. Matsuki!" He said as he finished the last batch of bread for the day. Simon before proceeding to put the bread in the storage room had a tear run down his cheek for some reason. "That's odd. I don't remember anything bad happening to me today." After putting away the bread he dried the tear and said "Maybe someone I know out there needs me or something." He then proceeded to retrieve the cleaning supplies in the closet.

Months later in the Digital world…..

Gallantmon decided to journey to every corner of the digital world asking who may know of a way towards the sphere but to no avail. One day he runs into the two traveling Digimon who appear to be in the ruins section of the Digital world managing some kind of construction. "Excuse me, but why are you guys here?" Impmon and Leomon turned to face Gallantmon but Impmon spoke up first "Well if it isn't our big old celebrity! How have you been these past few months?" Gallantmon responded "I've been fine just seeking some kind of answers to that sphere in the sky." Impmon then tilted his head out of confusion and said "Well now it seems you wanna aim bigger don'tcha? Anyway, we're here to reconstruct this area with a group of Digimon who happened to be into this kind of stuff and in a few years who knows? Maybe there might be a grandiose city here or something."

"What's this for anyway?" Gallantmon questioned but this time Leomon spoke up "We are merely celebrating your aid towards peace in the Digital world by rebuilding this old city." As Gallantmon started to ponder about what it might look like, a small white Digimon with long ears and a dog-like face approached the group and said "Excuse me but are you one of the Royal Knights?" Gallantmon looked down at the Dog-rabbit and said "I was but why do you ask?" It was then that the little Digimon said "Well in that case maybe you can reason with your friends who have been attacking other Digimon recently." Gallantmon then said "Why would the Royal Knights attack other Digimon? We strove for peace in the Digital world!" The Digimon then said "You didn't know about this?" Gallantmon then decided to board Grani and depart for the Fortress. "I thank you for this information little one. I'll see what I can do about the Royal Knights! Until then just take it easy alright?" As he flew away Impmon then went towards the little one and said "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll take care of this like he always does. Right Leomon?" Leomon looked at Impmon and said "Perhaps, but then again destiny might have much more cruel plans in mind for our friend."

Gallantmon entered the Fortress and now noticed that everything seemed different for some reason. "What happened here? Wasn't this supposed to be our moment of triumph? Wasn't peace our objective instead of oppressing others?" Gallantmon asked to no one in particular but continued until he reached the throne room and noticed an alarming change in the room. "Omnimon, what have you done with Imperialdramon?" Gallantmon asked summoning his lance and shield suspicious of Omnimon's answer. "Why, I merely disposed of him and claimed the throne all to myself and in the name, of Yggdrasil." Omnimon responded quite smug-like before standing from the throne. Something in Gallantmon snapped and he charged at Omnimon "YOU BASTARD!" He said before Omnimon merely destroyed his lance with one swing of his Transcendant sword thus sending Gallantmon backwards in the room. "Why the hell would you do such a thing Omnimon?" He said struggling to stand up but then Omnimon started to kick him around a few times and said "Why do you think? The brand of Yggdrasil marks us as his servants. The more we struggle against it, the closer we get to death."

"What happened to dying before becoming a slave huh?" Gallantmon said as he continued to get beaten down by his former comrade "I'm afraid those days are gone Gallantmon. Peace in the Digital world is impossible and you of all people should know that by now." Gallantmon was about to attack but was stabbed in the chest by Omnimon but instead of turning into data or into a Digimon egg, he was reduced back to his rookie form. "Alas, I wish I could explain more to you. But then again that would be against what I wish." Omnimon said before picking up the unconscious Guilmon and his hand started to glow and Guilmon was incased inside an orb of light. "Now then, go and fulfill your dream. Only when you find what you are looking for can you defeat the Royal Knights and Yggdrasil." He then threw Guilmon towards the sphere in the sky and went back to throne. Ulforceveedramon who witnessed the whole thing asked Omnimon "What shall I tell the others?" Omnimon looked somberly towards where the orb is and said "Tell them….. That Gallantmon, is dead." Ulforceveedramon nodded and flew towards the other knights to tell them of Gallantmon's fate.

Thus concludes the tale of the former Royal Knight known as Gallantmon. To be continued in The Shadow Tamer Saga…..

Sever all the pain(Sever all the pain) from memories plagued in vain(from memories plagued in vain)

Stop the endless woe you've come to know

Find your heart and soul;(Find your heart and soul) Break through every wall until you reach your goal

C'mon, clap your hands and fight until you're finally made whole!

Gazing skyward, and so sure tomorrow will arrive...

I don't know how I'll get through by myself with my heart in a daze

The birds beside me soar away into the endless sky

Will they find with their free spirits the light at the end of this maze?

Please wait... I want to fly with you

Let me on your back to look for my soul

All the pain that haunts me to this day will vanish

If I just reach up higher, I'll find what I desire, I'll never tire til I...

Sever all the pain(Sever all the pain) from memories plagued in vain(from memories plagued in vain)

And stop the endless woe you've come to know

Find your heart and soul;(Find your heart and soul) Break through every wall until you reach your goal

C'mon, clap your hands and fight until you're finally made whole!
