A Piece of the Puzzle (Truths explained by Karatenmon)
As Keith returned to the portal, now carrying Raptormon and quietly grumbling that he needed to get a lead for him, he saw Ian, Paul, Tobias, Natalie, and Fred return to the portal and as they waited for the rest to return, Keith explained that he'd found Raptormon amongst a group of small cat like Digimon and surprisingly he hadn't gotten clawed. Nat explained the encounter with the giant whale and Ian and Paul admitted that nothing had happened whilst they were waiting around.
Patrick's group returned with Veemon still as Sagittarimon and Guilmon as Growlmon and Steven explained their encounter with Goldimon and Silvamon, and eventually Cathy's group returned, with Karatenmon in tow, "Please don't attack the Digimon behind us please." "So, it appears that we truly do have a chance, after ten years of waiting." Steven opened his mouth to ask what he was talking about, but Tobias beat him to it, "Chance, what chance, are we in a game show or something, what the hell do you mean by chance, it makes no sense at all, admittedly nothing seems to make sense here." "Please be polite Tobias, we're new here and we don't want everyone here to believe that all of us are like you." "And that means what exactly?" "Well," "Enough about that, enough about that, sir, why have you followed our friends." Steven asked to which Karatenmon replied "To help you understand where you truly are."
Karatenmon's calm and deep voice continued to speak, "We have existed for other two hundred and fifty million years, but we have also grown at a faster tempo than your time." "How does that make any sense?" "Maybe the clock broke or something?" "This dimension has existed for as long as yours, however we only began to exist in a time period to which something called the 'World Wide Web' was introduced to you, from what the legends said, we were a culmination of both dimensions unintentionally interacting and the energy not only created us Digimon but made sure that we both knew but could never fully interact with you humans." "Huh, turns out you were right." Darren commentated to Steven, to which he was shushed by Patrick, Natalie, and Aaron. Karatenmon continued to talk, "For over twenty million years, we had developed into different tribes and different societies all different but still in good and friendly relationships, with great heroes and champions to help and defend from threats outside of the tribes, however, one hundred years ago an intense battle endured between a monstrous evil and their armies and all champions and heroes clashed, and whilst the evil was defeated, all but a very small few of the heroes survived and so some of us had to attempt to reprise their roles, except, 10 years ago a great army arose, ruled over by the foppish KingChessmon and his powerful and threatening AxeKnightmon bodyguard, they struck and attacked as many areas as they could easily, we believed that we had no chance of fighting back, but fourteen days ago, a mysterious portal of sorts appeared blanketing the sky and for a brief moment we could see your realm through the portal, and then we realised that we could be on the same timetable as you." "Which means?" "You humans might be the main chance that we have to prevent both your world and our world from being conquered and destroyed."
Everyone let all the information slowly seep in and as they began to understand exactly what had been just spoken to them, and Tobias again summed up their collective thoughts perfectly, "That's a lot of stuff to sink in." "Well, we do have the weekend to think up ways to help out." Steven mentioned, "Oh yeah, we better get back home soon, don't we?" "Thanks for telling us this and well keep up the good fight, we're in a situation where this portal changes locations and we can't access the main portal for the next few days, apologies for this." "Let us hope that the army does not strike your world at that point." "I'm not so sure since I think this is the only portal connecting our worlds." Natalie spoke up. As the group left, and they returned home, the portal shimmered away.
