The 7th war

Chapter 5: How it all began

Biyomon inhaled as she gathered breath to explain what had happened to the Digital World from the start of this war.

"As you know there are three types of Digimon, Vaccine, like Angemon, Data, Like Agumon here, and Virus which is mostly the enemies you have fought before."

Agumon and Seth nod in understanding following along so far.

"The way the Digital world worked in the beginning is you had to beat someone around your strength or weaker to grow and Digivolve." the pair nods again, "When the first Digi-egg hatched it was a Data type just surviving, then they went from Baby level, to In-training level, followed again by Rookie, next came Champion, then Ultimate, and finally the goal of all Digimon, Mega level."

Again nods to show the partners were listening.

"Soon after they reached Mega this Digimon became a beacon and teacher for new Digimon who also hatched from their eggs. It took them longer but they began to Digivolve as well, and then more hatched followed by slower Digivolutions."

Seth took a thinking position with his hand cupping his chin as he thought about this information.

"The reason was soon found by the first Megas to be-"

"Less data readily available to help grow the programs known as Digimon in this world," Seth finished with widened eyes.

Biyomon nods sadly at this, "Yes and the Megas thought about how to fix the problem as more Digimon were being born there was a drastic decline in natural evolutions, and to these Digimon who only knew peace and natural growth it was impossible for them to know that they needed to fight to grow."

Biyomon's expression grew grim and dark, "Until the first Mega level Virus figured it out. He got into an argument with a Vaccine Mega and with one attack destroyed him due to their stats being naturally grown with no training, the Virus Mega was filled with glee as he felt himself grow stronger. He spread this knowledge to other Virus types and they began to attack the Data and Vaccine types. The other Megas were furious at the death of their comrade and the violence that broke out from this need to evolve and gathered their forces, families, and friends in order to fight back. This was the first war of the Digital World."

Seth and Agumon continued to listen in stunned silence at this epic tale of the past that was unfolding before them.

"Soon the first war ended with the Mega Viruses defeated and they retreated with their remaining forces across the sea to a different continent from the continent of Folder. Peace reigned as with all the defeated Digimon back in their eggs again natural Digivolution appeared once more and fighting for data ceased."

Biyomon rubbed her face with her wings as she recalled the next part, she took a quick sip of water and continued.

"The second and third wars began when some over eager Ultimate Virus Digimon appeared from the other continent ready to wreak havoc on the peace loving Digimon. Both wars ended with many new Digi-eggs being created from the bodies of the defeated Digimon. However the Megas of the Vaccine and Data types decided that living in peace with this potential threat looming across the sea at them would not allow them to rest easy. As such they created two councils, the Holy Knight Digimon and the Holy Palace Alliance, the knights would defend the Main Digi-egg creation village to ensure a future for us Digimon, and the alliance would command the armies and fight the wars that appeared. The fourth and fifth war ended soon after these councils were made with a more organized army defending us, but with many Champion and higher level Digimon losing their lives and data."

Seth then asked with curiosity, "What changed with these last two wars that made so many Digimon lose their lives?"

Biyomon looked up in frustration and anger at the memories, "The Mega Virus Digimon came back, in these past wars it was mostly Ultimate level Virus Digimon that would attack hoping for easy data. When that didn't work they brought Mega levels to help them, with the fifth war we saw they became more organized than we dared hope for. The 7 vices army was created just to spite our councils and to show us their true might."

Seth was remembering Impmon's words at how he served an army with the same name and how he had a rank as if it was a real military and not just a mob of powerful Digimon under a threatening name.

Agumon voiced his thoughts after thinking about their past foe, "We fought an Impmon who served this so called '7 Vices Army' with the rank of Sgt., have they been around for years then, given this story?"

Biyomon sighed as she answered, "Yes the 5th, 6th, and this current war are all dealing with them as our enemies."

Seth and Agumon nodded while contemplating this bit of information, meanwhile Biyomon continued,

"After the 5th war ended we realized we didn't have the military might to keep up with the evil forces like we thought. However our best minds and wizards discovered that we were not alone in this fight, the home server that helped create our world was having trouble keeping the balance of Data, Vaccine, and Virus programs a.k.a. Digimon in check. The home server sent out powerful and knowledgeable programs known as observers, they were made to support the Data and Vaccine types from being overwhelmed should the Virus Digimon get too powerful or numerous. With their help we created the Tamer program that allows you to have a Digivice and Digimon partner."

Seth looks down to his Digivice and then to Agumon while smiling at how fast they became good friends in only a few days in this world.

"So you guys have summoned humans to help with this Tamer and partner bond before right?"

Biyomon nodded then looked sad as she said,

"The program was a break through in fighting off the Viruses in the 6th war and we won that one with little trouble, we got over confident in the power of tamers and slacked on our own power for when it was time to send them all home. The last time we summoned them we only needed about 5 Tamers to turn the tide towards our favor."

Seth suddenly looks shocked with this information given how many Digivices his Digivice has been picking up from the Holy Angel Palace.

"But my Digivice says there are about 1,000 Tamers registered here right now! What changed for you guys to need so many Tamers?!"

Agumon touches Seth's arm to calm him down as Biyomon flinches from the harsh and sudden questions.

"The 7 Vice's Army generals happened, they suddenly stopped hiding in the shadows of their army and stuck our forward bases a few weeks ago, we lost many Mega level Digimon from our side despite our best efforts. The lab that was housing the plan for the next Tamer program was raided and destroyed, the Generals killed everyone and corrupted the Digi-eggs of the defeated Digimon soldiers stationed at the lab promising them to Virus types once they hatched. Our back up plan was created by a scientist named Gennai who was a scholar and warrior."

Seth suddenly stood up from this shocking news, "Gennai!? As in Gennai the one who created the Digimon battle VR Game in my world?"

Agumon tumbles back from Seth's outburst and looks at him in concern. He is now worrying about how much more news his Tamer can take.

Biyomon nodded with some nervous sweat at his outburst, "The same, he is the one who revived the Tamer program and made the back up program to summon the top 1,000 players from your world to be our new Tamer army should the original ideal 7 somehow be stopped. His fears were realized when he came back to find his lab raided and destroyed by the Trickster General Piedmon. As such we summoned you all here."

Seth falls to his knees with the information overload his brain was trying to process as he realized he wouldn't be seeing home until this army was defeated and the Digital World was saved. Shaking in anger and fear at the news he felt scaly arms wrap around him in comfort and support as he looks to his left and sees a big green eye and orange scaled skin looking back at him with a toothy smile.

"Don't worry Seth, I'll be here to always help and support you no matter what happens from here."

Seth stops shaking and then thinks back to his first encounter with Koromon and how they have grown together as a pair of friends. Suddenly smirking to himself and standing up Seth's chest starts swelling with friendship, pride, courage, and conviction with Agumon looking at him with a large grin at seeing his Tamer recover.

"Alright Biyomon let's get you to the Holy Angel Palace and get some help in getting stronger, then we help take on this 7 Vices army one enemy Digimon at a time until we can defeat their Generals."

Agumon jumps up while punching his fist into the air yelling, "Yeah! we can do this together!"

Biyomon sits there for a minute before smirking and standing up next to the duo simply saying, "Well let's get this done then, I'm counting on you two to keep me safe until we get there while I will be your guide to get there quickly and safely."

Seth and Biyomon shake hands to seal the deal and begin to pack up camp so they can head back towards the Flower Garden in order to take the shorter path through Phantom Ruins. Biyomon shudders at realizing where they are going but doesn't complain as she needed to stick with these two and get to the palace quickly.

Up in the tree Angemon heard them and their plans for the right path and begins to make plans for how he can support them in their journey, his plan at the moment was to go into the Ruins ahead of them and take out anything stronger than your average Champion, as he was a holy Vaccine type against the Data and Virus type ghost and undead Digimon he had the advantage to follow through with such a plan.

Spreading his wings he makes a recorded report to send automatically to the palace as he flies to keep ahead of the group to put his plan into action.

Meanwhile: Holy Angel Palace

Seraphimon was listening to the report from Angemon 098 as he enacted upon his plan to support the growth of this duo. Chuckling to himself Seraphimon thinks, Given the bond they show, the way they fight together, and the abilities they have as a team builder and growth checker they should be able to make the journey here to the Palace.

His thoughts were cut short as he hears a chair clatter behind him, looking back quickly he sees his trusted aide and adviser Sorcerymon has fallen from his chair in shock as he was looking at his energy scanner.

Rushing over to check him Seraphimon sees what had shocked him so much as he sees an alert saying that the Digi-crest of Courage's energy was detected in the vicinity of the Angemon's last report.

"My lord Seraphimon! We must dispatch a squad of Angemon to scout the area and see what is giving off that energy reading! Especially if there is a chance to recover one of the crests of power!"

Seraphimon nods and immediately sends orders to a special trained recovery squad of Angemon to scout the area for the energy signature and to report back in case they find anything.

Seraphimon sits back in his chair once he makes sure Sorcerymon is safe and secure after that outburst. Sighing as he looks at the 120 tamers training hard in his courtyard with their partners. As the rest are currently still going through the eggs that the palace is holding to see if they can find their partners eggs.

Is it almost tie for us to push back? Can these Tamers help us without all the crests recovered? … if not then we must do what we can to help them grow strong without them.

7 Vices Headquarters

Meanwhile in a torch lit training room in the dark palace of the 7 Vices Army an Impmon glows brightly with the power of Digivolution as he laughs maniacally with his new power coursing through him.
