Roman Coliseum, Rome, Italy
As Davis got out of the cab, he sensed a strong urge to enter the coliseum; it was as if something or someone was calling him, as he successfully snuck in thru the
back part of the building his D-Terminal started beeping and he quickly glanced at the message.
"Master, come for us, we will wait for you."
Davis hurried to the center of the Coliseum, the closer he got to the battle area the harder it was for him to ignore the voice inside his head that kept repeating to
him;
"Come find us, it is your destiny, follow it"
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice the wood under him starting to break; he felt his body fall into the black as he tried to save himself from an
inevitable death.
"AHHHHHHHHH! MAN I CANT BELIEVE ITS GOING TO END LIKE THIS" he screamed as he plunged into his demise
Unknown Dimension
He felt his body go numb as he hit the floor and realized he was doomed, he started feeling the pain of the impact and closed his eyes realizing that it was the end of
him. But the end didn't come, instead he found himself opening his eyes again while the pain that coursed thru his body rapidly started to disappear. He remained on
his back for some minutes while trying to gain back his strength and then he heard it again;
"You're here, just a little more, we will be waiting"
It was that voice again, Davis knew that there was no time to be wasted so he rose to his feet and look at his surroundings, realizing that this was not the Coliseum
startled him, the horizon was gray and black, but what stood out was the beautiful castle that was up the hill. Davis then remembered the descriptions of the dark
area that Kari had once talked about, the dark and hollow feeling that you get, the endless ocean and the killer silence that ruled over.
Walking uphill he quickly reached the castle which he could now see was made of black crystal diamonds, in the entrance stood a figure with a cloak that covered his
whole body, on his back where two wings and on his right hand he held an ancient looking book. Davis decided to try and find out where he was so he timidly asked
the figure;
"U-Um excuse me, but where am I?" Davis asked the man who at first looked surprised to see the young boy but quickly regained composure
"This is the entrance to the dark castle, home and prison of the demon lords Lucemon of pride and Lilithmon of lust" said the cloaked digimon
"O-k so why is I here? Or how did I get here? And who are you?"
"I am Wisemon the protector of this castle and the guardian of the dark crest; you are here because the time for you to possess the crest has finally arrived"
Davis looked surprised beyond reason, his eyes big as saucers and showing nervousness;
"W-Wait, so the destined were right? I'm evil?
"Please understand that just because the darkness is associated with acts of cruelty and destruction, its existence itself is not evil or good, it is merely the balance
that exists in the universe, without darkness there is no light and without light there is no darkness" answered Wisemon trying to calm Davis down
"So if the crest is not evil then why is it in this hollow place? Are you trying to trick me? Because I'll never join the evil side no matter how much you try to break me
you hear me buddy" said Davis raising his voice and making his tone angrier
"There is no need to get irritated but I must admit that your determination to remain loyal to your beliefs is admirable young one, it is indeed that determination that
makes you the perfect candidate for the power of the hazard of darkness" said Wisemon approaching Davis who wanted to back down but didn't
"So explain to me, why do I keep hearing these voices in my head? Why did I start to radiate a dark aura when the others killed Veemon? And why do I have a
feeling this necklace has something to do with it" said Davis showing Wisemon the necklace he had gotten from the child at the airport;
"All in time my young king, but where are my manners please come into the castle, it is there were all will be revealed to you"
The destined of miracles hesitated but walked behind Wisemon to the inside of the dark castle, 15 minutes passed until Wisemon stopped at a gigantic gate that had
a insignia that had the yin and yang symbol with two wings on the side and on top had a crown with a hazard symbol. He then began chanting;
"The prophecy is one step closer to being fulfilled, the king has returned and he will be the savior of the broken and the damned. I am Wisemon and now in the name
of the king of the dark hazard. OPEN THESE GATES AT ONCE! Yelled the digimon
Seconds went by and the gates slowly started to open up revealing a beautiful staircase that led to the top of the castle, and there they stood; three pillars, two of
them surrounded by a stunning purple light that would put the most beautiful star to shame and in the center pillar was a pendant surrounded by a black aura that
could send shivers thru the spine of the bravest men.
Davis was in awe of the magnificence in front of him, he had never seen such beauty and elegance, he kept reminding himself that the darkness was evil but yet he
somehow couldn't resist the urge to go up and touch the pillars.
"Now the time has come for the answers to be revealed my king"
"Why do you keep calling me king?" said Davis
"Let me start from the beginning, the dark crest was created from the dark energy that has long been in the digital world, it contains the energy of the seven deadly
sins, the souls of the dark whirlpool and the power of the digital hazard which was created after the death of the evil dragon Megidramon"
"Wait, I'm lost, so who's Megidramon?" asked Davis interrupting Wisemon
"Megidramon was one of the four holy dragons, he along with three others were the rulers of the digital world long before the sovereigns, the angels and even
Lucemon existed, after Megidramon became corrupted he destroyed the other three dragons and went on a rampage throughout the different dimensions, in the end
he was sealed by his own power which became too much for him to control it" answered Wisemon
"Ok, sorry for interrupting, so how does this tie in with the dark hazard crest?"
"So, after the death of Megidramon, the hazard power was sent to the dark whirlpool, there it fused with the powers of darkness and the souls of those that were sent
there, the result was the crest of darkness or as it was originally called the crest of the dark hazard. Its power was to be feared; the dark masters, the sovereigns and
even Daemon himself all tried to get a hold of it but failed miserably, after their failure I was instructed by the leader of the sovereigns Fanglongmon to seal the crest
in this castle along with the digimons destined to become partnered to it"
"But why did the fail? I mean all of them are probably the strongest beings in the universe, how could they not control its power?" asked Davis
"The thing about the crest of the dark hazard is that not only does it have to choose you but it will also put various tests on you, which if not done correctly will lead
to you losing your sanity or worse; death, all of those who have tried to take the crest by force have failed and the only reason those digimon are still alive is because
of their strength, however there where others who weren't so lucky"
"What do you mean? Are there others that tried to get the crest?"
"Yes, even thought I was instructed to hide the crest and seal its powers I couldn't let it fall into the wrong hands so I tried to find its partner, this angered the
sovereigns and they imprisoned me in this castle along with both the dark hazard digimon and the crest itself, I however found a way to travel thru the dimensions, I
tried it on many humans, from military leaders to corporate CEO's, presidents, humanitarians, you name it. All of them are dead, the power was too much for them,
some screamed saying that they felt that their insides were on fire, others went insane from the paranoia that the souls of the dark whirlpool caused, others
committed horrible massacres out of desperation, this crest is stained with the blood of many"
"WOAH! HEY MAN WHAT THE HELL, so even if I accept I'll die or worse ill probably go crazy and kill people, I REFUSE!" said Davis looking pale from the worry
"Please remain calm and listen to me, the reason all of these creatures were either killed or barely survived was because although they had the potential to become
the possessors they did not have a pure heart and a purpose for using the powers of the dark hazard other than for destruction, the crest needs a balanced being in
order to flourish and reach its maximum potential"
"So those voices I've heard are the voices of the crest"
"Not exactly, you see, those voices only manifest themselves to those who are evil or desire to inflict pain in the hearts of the innocent, the voices you hear in your
head belong to those that will accompany you if you succeed in completing the tasks that the crest will give you" answered Wisemon
"And what if I refuse? Will I be able to go back home or will you kill me?" asked the goggle boy afraid of the answer
Wisemon looked at the boy, examinating every inch of him but he stopped and looked at him straight in the eye;
"Your question offends me child, I would never hurt you, I cannot obligate you to accept the crest if you do not desire it for it would devise your demise, but what I
will remind you is that unfortunately you are alone and you desire justice"
"W-Wait, how do you know?"
"I know many things, you have no family, your friends betrayed you and your partner is dead"
Davis stood there with his head facing the floor while a million emotions cruised thru his mind, he decided that if he was going to accept a power so great that it could
easily kill him he might as well know the truth;
"I will accept the crest of darkness, but I have one condition"
"Name it child, what do you need?" said Wisemon
"I need the truth, as you may know both Wizardmon and Leomon attacked me, so me and Veemon had to destroy them, this caused the destined to kill my partner
and left me in the situation I am now, but I remember hearing those digimon's say that the sovereigns had sent them to kill me and that I would die just like my
parents"
"You seem to have it almost figured out. What is your question young one?"
"Who?... Who killed my parents?"
"That question can be answered if you look deeply into your memories my dear king"
"STOP PLAYING WITH ME! TELL ME WHO KILLED THEM!" Davis screamed at Wisemon as his patience ran out
"Very well, I recall you saying to those other humans that your parents were killed by a snake, am I right?"
"Y-Yes, it was a big white snake, but who was that?"
"That snake was no ordinary animal, that snake is Sandiramon" answered Wisemon
"Who is Sandiramon? TELL ME!" Davis growled
"Sandiramon is one of the devas that are under the command of the sovereigns, this one in particular is under the direct orders of Zhuqiaomon the ruler of the
southern quadrant, the snake is by far the most cruel and sadistic of the twelve devas that exist, it enjoys playing and taunting its victims and will kill them slowly so
their suffering is increased, he must have been sent by the sovereigns because the devas do not act unless they are instructed to do so, the reason behind the attack
however remains a complete mystery to me"
Davis lowered his voice and spoke with such venom that even Wisemon backed away, his body started to radiate the same aura that when he killed Wizardmon;
"So, it was those damn sovereigns and that snake, I will make them pay for what they did, they are going to wish never to have crossed paths with me"
"Now that you know the truth, will you accept your destiny my king?"
"I will gladly accept, because unlike the others that have tried to possess the crest I have a purpose, the purpose to get revenge and bring justice"
"Very well, accompany me to the top of the staircase young king, though I appreciate your decision to accept the crest I must warn you that the crest will change
your personality radically"
"How so?" asked Davis
"The powers that it holds will fuse the personalities of your partners with yours and will transfer some aspects of your own to your partners, meaning that it could be
both beneficial and dangerous, the question is; Are you willing to sacrifice your character for justice?"
Davis spaced out for a lengthy amount of time as his mind raced to find a solution to the decision that he was about to make, to continue living the traumatizing life
he had until now or to completely do a 180 and start as a new stronger and meaner version, he then answered;
"I will never be the same after what happened to me, after what everyone did to me, my so-called friends, my step parents, the one I loved, the Davis that wore a
mask is gone and it is time for someone new to take over. So yes I am willing to sacrifice my being in order to bring justice"
Wisemon merely nodded at his response and continued walking to the pillars that were on top of the staircase, as Davis got close to the pillars he could feel the
energy that called him, he wanted to reach for them so badly but was stopped by Wisemon;
"My king, it is time to awaken your partners, they have been trapped here for many years without being able to leave more than 2 hours at a time, just like you they
were betrayed and misunderstood by others and like you their imprisonment is over, you will set them free and they will serve you."
"So how do I do that is there like a key or something?"
"No, you have to repeat after me, powers of the darkness and powers of the hazard, hear my plea and release those who will serve me, untie their chains and set
them free, now rise, hear the command of the king"
Davis memorized the whole ritual and with his strongest voice he called;
"POWERS OF DARKNESS, POWERS OF THE HAZARD, HEAR MY PLEA AND RELEASE THOSE WHO WILL SERVE ME, UNTIE THEIR CHAINS AND SET THEM FREE, NOW
RISE, HEAR THE COMMAND OF THE KING!"
There was a piercing shrieking sound that echoed thru the walls of the castle, it almost made Davis's ears bleed, after that, the pillars started to radiate a black light
that soon turned them into crystals which slowly started to crack.
When Davis was finally able to open his eyes he saw that two young girls who looked to be no more than 8 years old were standing in front of him, he was speechless
as both of them kneeled down at his feet and said;
"Hello master, it's been a long wait, we have been expecting you"
So now that Davis has finally accepted the crest of darkness what will he do next? What kind of tests is he going to go thru? How much will his
personality change after he fuses with his partners? And who are these two girls that called him master?
So there it is, I know I took forever to write it but I finally had the time to do it. I feel that I'm missing something in the story as a whole, so I'm
asking you for advice on what you like and what you would like me to change. Ok please leave me a review and until next time
Please R&R
