Digitopia, a kingdom that might be under siege, even though Suzubuya Kingdom came under a flag of truce, and hasn't attacked, The Kurokami Brigade has been causing problems; they have secret raiding parties, which sneak into the kingdom looking for the annulment stone within, the one that created the barrier around centuries. Until Takajin retrieved his Digi chip from it, which shut down the barrier that made the kingdom look like a mountain. Suzubuya kingdom aims to bring Digitopia into their kingdom, or destroy it.
A silhouette of a bunch of cloaked sneaking through the streets, and an unknowing family going to bump into them, one of the cloaked figure, an enormous man of sizable girth, and musculature peeled back his hood revealing Shiru, he had once pretended to be a teacher named Mr. Sagisa.
Shiru looked at the incoming people, he was looking to interrogate them, for info about the stone he was looking because it had been moved from the royal garden, and he needed to find it soon, Migoku had already been breathing down his neck for failing to find it already, he recognized the boy with the family it was a former student of his named Rao, he was so focused on the Rao's family that he did not see the shadow jumping from roof to roof above him.
One of the cloaked beside Shiru turned to face "I don't like it here, with what happened, with previous raiding parties!" he said his voice, and visibly shaking.
"Nero! Those parties made up stuff to cover up the embarrassment of not finding the stone" Shiru said getting ready to attack Rao and his family as they were getting close.
"No that's not what I heard at all. I heard the Black Rabbit of Inlé got them" Nero said looking around anxiously.
"The Rabbit, you got to be kidding, that is just a myth!" Shiro said as he rounded the corner and grabbed hold of Rao's father, and pressed what looked like a knife with a see through blade, it would suck the life completely if it was set to full. "Where is the stone, tell me or he dies" his massive form dwarfing that of Rao's father, even though he didn't actually need the blade the kill the smaller man, he could have just snapped his neck. While this was going on a person cloaked in darkness dropped to the ground landing quietly on their feet behind them, the person kicked one of the Kurokami Brigade members in the chest. That knocked him flying like he had been struck with a sledgehammer. The other freaked and ran only to be knocked face first to the ground, and then the person walked up to Shiru and uppercut punched him airborne, he let go of Rao's father as he lost footing with the ground.
Shiru woke up standing precariously on a roof ledge, which was a 6 story drop, for once he was scared, and standing in front of him was a masked person, their cape flapping in the breeze, with a rabbit paw print on it. Shiru tried to move but he couldn't, something invisible was holding Shiru in place "please don't kill me man! Please don't kill me man!" he said looking at the masked person in front of him, and pleading for his life.
"I am not going to kill you; I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me" Masked person said walking up to the massive form of Shiru like he was a little kid, and hovered right up to his face to look him directly in the eye, their eyes still obscured by the mask they were wearing.
"What are you?" Shiru asked panicking now.
"I am the Blackavar" said the masked person, before shoving Shiru to the roof instead of over the roof's edge. Then walks over to the edge, extends their cape like wings and jumps off, with Shiru running over to see where the person went, but the person was gone.
Digimon Sync: Episode 34 "The Blackavar Returns"
A burly man wearing an eye patch over his eye, he was also wearing a Kurokami brigade cloak with the hood pulled resting between his shoulder blades. It was Migoku, and he was visibly upset "Um you said it happened again, that mask vigilant attacked another raiding party as they were searching for the Annulment stone?" he said punching the table in front and barely missing his brigade mask they lay upon it.
"At least we now know who it is, he told me that he is The Blackavar" Shiru said trying to put the situation like that was a positive.
Migoku turned to another figure in the room, a boy with blonde hair and golden eyes, wearing the Symbol of Suzubuya "Why did your sideshow caped crusader follow us here, Huh Akira Suzubuya, what haven't you been telling us about this?" Migoku said pointing his index finger at him.
"Don't ask me, that Vigilant just appeared in my kingdom, we tried everything to get rid of him, and nothing seems to work, he is as elusive as the wind" Akira said looking rather put out by the question.
"Ankou is coming here; you really want to explain to him, why we don't have the stone by the time he arrives?" Said Migoku as he stood up, glaring at Akira with his one good eye "If you want to become one of us something has to happen soon, either kill The Blackavar or get the stone"
"I can't be seen with you guys, my kingdom is in talks with Digitopia, we want them as a prefecture in the kingdom of Suzubuya, what do you think would happen if they found out I am in league with the Kurokami brigade" Akira said in protest "this farm is even pushing it so far, I know the family here was a much needed sacrifice for their bio-data, for the vitamins we take" he took out a device, took two pills and swallowed them, and enjoying the high they gave him. He watched as Shiru and Migoku did the same thing he did a second ago.
That's when King Suzubuya entered, and looked at all three of them, with a look that he wanted to talk to his son alone. The white haired king looked sicklier than ever, but still held a lot of authority and command in his gaze, so Shiru and Migoku politely excused themselves to the next room, King Suzubuya gestured for Akira to follow him, and they needed to get away from prying ears.
They let the farm, and made their way to the encampment, with many flags with emblem of Suzubuya kingdom embroidered on them, they walked passed many soldiers clad in silver armor. Until they reached a very fancy large tent, its golden fabric gleamed in the noonday sun, they entered it. There was no one inside; the tent was filled with silver chairs, golden carpet, and an intricately carved marble table. They took seats at opposite ends of the table.
"What do you want Father?" Akira asked curiously, as he looked into his father's eyes "I don't think it's because you want to spend time with your loving son?"
"Our kingdom for years has been all about war and subjugation of any kingdom we can touch, but I am wary and growing tired of these endeavors, so instead of doing to Digitopia, I am going to make an alliance instead." King Suzubuya said ignoring the look of disgust on his son's face.
"The Kingdom of Suzubuya is supposed to rule over the world, it's the way things have been done since its founding" Akira said trying to keep the edge out of his tone, but still glowered at his father, like he had just slapped him.
"It's time for a change! I heard my daughter travels with the Prince of Digitopia, a boy name Takajin, if I could arrange a marriage between them Digitopia would become a part of Suzubuya, as their son would be the next king" King Suzubuya said ignoring the expression on Akira's face by bringing up his sister Princess Mikuni.
"But she abandoned her kingdom to travel with the Digidestined, I think her using the powers of her Digi chip to beat was cheating, she should not be the next in line for the throne that honor should still be mine!" Akira said failing to hide the seething anger in his tone, he had been completely humiliated by his younger sister, when she beat him in that tournament, and that hatred had been boiling for months now.
"There is no rule that you can't use outside means like being a Digidestined to win a duel, if you want to get the throne you have to be strong, and to use any means necessary to secure it at all costs" King Suzubuya stood and brow beat down his pretentious son, who was talking above his station, and was getting close to being taught a lesson.
Akira back off from the argument that he knew he couldn't win "Hopefully this doesn't blow up in your face" he said looking away from his father's gaze.
"I have talked with the king of Digitopia, and he agreed to have a tournament, their kingdom's champion versus. Our Champion in a friendly duel, if your sister Mikuni shows up you could always challenge her again for her line of succession to the throne, until you beat her she is the next heir to my crown.
Instead of Akira giving, he growled about his father saying his sister name, and stormed out of the tent without saying a word, ignoring his father calling him back.
After Akira left King Suzubuya turned to face the direction of his kingdom "Megumi our son takes too much after me, I Fear his path is full of blood just like his old man" he said eyeing downcast.
-Flashback-
It was an autumn mid-afternoon, the leaves having changed to their fall colors were now falling from the trees, even though winter was coming upon the land it didn't feel cold at all, a boy in royal clothing and wearing a silver crown, the crown prince Daisuke stood on edge of pond. He looked out across the water's surface; he had sneaked out of his kingdom, at this point he did not want the throne, and wished deeply that he had a sibling that could have challenged him for, he was an heir to a kingdom at war, and his Suzubuya was at war with the kingdom of Darkhaven. It was a war over religious freedom, Darkhaven wanted to give people the right to choose what to believe in. His frame of thought was interrupted across the pond was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, she was pale as snow, her eyes were that of polished gold, her hair was like someone had woven it out of sunlight. Looking hopefully wouldn't make blind if he stared too long, and if it did it would have been totally worth it being the last thing he had ever seen. But that's when he noticed that the girl was wearing the tunic with the symbol of Darkhaven emblazoned right below her throat.
Then she saw him, he thought she was going to run away, instead she jumped into the water, and swam across the pond, she poked her head out of the water at the shoreline Daisuke was standing at, she climbed out of the water, she squeezed the water out of her skirt "HI I am Megumi, what is your name young prince.
Daisuke felt the heat rise into his cheeks, as he tried to reply, but nothing came out of his mouth at least what could be any kind of spoken language except complete gibberish, he was lost in beauty that now stood in front of him, "Daisuke" he finally managed to say. "Should you really be talking to me, since out kingdoms are at war"
"I am not at war with you, my kingdom does not dictate who I can talk to, does your dictate your choice of who you are allowed to have a conversation with?" Megumi replied pushing playfully at Daisuke, and teasing him.
"No it doesn't I am the crown prince, and no one gives me any orders, I am my own person!" Daisuke said puffing himself up to look taller, as he was rather short for his age, even though he was pretending to have, this kind of confidence.
"Sorry got to go, lets me up again like this again" Megumi said before kissing Daisuke on the cheek before jumping back into the water, and swam back to the shore, that had been at when he had first spotted her, Daisuke placed his hand on the place he had been just kissed.
-Flashback end-
The Blackavar looked at the streets of the kingdom of Suzubuya making sure they hadn't been followed, before peeling the mask off, and taking off the hat, blond hair fluttered down to her shoulders, Mikuni took a deep breath, she was now the champion of Digitopia, let those who break the law fear the name of the Blackavar the indomitable wind of justice.
"Hey there" a voice said behind her, which startled Mikuni, she turned around pulling out her quarterstaff, the person that spoke came, and before they could speak again, was forcefully pushed to the ground. Vasantmon materialized and was pinning them to the ground "I am here in peace, and thank you for rescuing me and my family; it was Rao "I owe you a life debt and want to be your sidekick. I didn't realize you were a girl"
"Go away, I work alone!" Mikuni said before putting the mask and hat back on, and jumping over the edge of the roof, and Vasantmon followed soon after.
"I did not hear you say an absolute no, to me becoming your sidekick?" Rao said running over to the roof's edge to see where the Blackavar went, so he could follow her again.
The Blackavar landed on the clock roof, she turned to see if anyone followed them this time, and then slid into the tower maintenance hatch. Once inside Vasantmon repaired, and devolved into his rookie level form of Lopmon, Mikuni unmasked, she had called this clock tower home for weeks dubbing it Watchtower. She was here to make sure that the Kurokami brigade wouldn't get their hands on the annulment stone, and to make sure this kingdom didn't become a part of Suzubuya, as in lose their identity as a kingdom and get absorbed like other kingdoms in the past.
A hatch in the floor opened, and Mikuni was positioned to attack anything that came out of it, Rao poked his head out of the hatch "I found, I knew this the best place to see a large portion of the kingdom, an awesome Fortress of Solitude this is you can say" he said looking around and awe before.
"A key word there is solitude, I don't need your presence, and you are to leave. I am the champion, the hero that will protect this kingdom, move along before I hurt you citizen" Mikuni said threatening to bring down her quarterstaff upon Rao's head. While Lopmon growled and glared at Rao like he wanted to jump on him and rip his face off, but Rao wasn't taking the hint that he wasn't wanted, since he was smiling at them both, like they were welcoming him in with open arms. "Leave now citizen, before you get yourself killed. It's my job to protect people like you, even weak minded ones, even if I have to hurt you to do so"
That finally caused a reaction that Mikuni was hoping for, Rao runs off trying to not to cry, he left the clock tower leaving Mikuni alone, she just watched him go without saying anything else. She walked over to her makeshift bed, and jumped into it, after she had gotten her fellow digidestined killed, she wouldn't take any chance of taking anyone with her into battle anymore, and she was a lone champion of justice. It was possible that they could be alive but if they were then where were they she had woken on a mysterious bed alone there was no one else around her. She now just laid there looking up at the ceiling of the base of operations and actually miss her companions even though they weren't as tough as she was and could sometimes annoying as they rode her coattails but dead is dead unless she saw them again they were dead to her.
Lopmon after making his rounds around the clock tower, he finally sat down, and yawned, it was adorable how he yawned even though he didn't like to be referred to as such, and got really angry if cute and his name was mentioned in the same sentence. Lopmon got up and made his way towards Mikuni, and lay down in a makeshift bed of his own; it sat at the foot of Mikuni's bed, he wallowed in the feathers it was made out of before nodding off, and started snoring loudly. This snoring use to keep her awake as a child but now she was used to it and it helped her fall asleep too. That night she would have a weird dream, and not like the ones she usually has.
She now stood in an enormous city, and it wasn't Suzubuya or Digitopia, and she herself was now a child, but she wasn't the child she just looked through their eyes, whoever this was they were happy, as they hummed and picked flowers.
"Enna" someone called out to her, causing the girl to turn around, someone that might have been her mother was waving, the girl was speaking in a very familiar language, but she understood it, "Be there soon mom" said Enna before running towards her, and leapt into her arms, and got a tight hug.
"May Lilithmon shine upon you my darling and her to bring you to her hearts embrace" Enna's mother said giving her daughter squeeze before putting her down.
"May her light guide us all" said Enna, even though saying this made Mikuni mentally, even though the girl Enna seemed happy saying it. Am I in the body of a family member of a Kurokami brigade person?
At this moment Enna and her mother looked up, and their expression change to of complete horror. That's when Mikuni woke up, she was covered in sweat, and she wished she knew what those people in her dream had been looking up since it terrified them. Had this thing, been Lilithmon, or something else that had been so scary to them.
Mikuni got out of bed, and walked over to the clock face of the tower, and opened up a hatch to look out. She wonders how she would ever stop her kingdom from taking over this place; she owes Takajin that much for his sacrifice.
-Royal Palace-
King Zephirim sat on his throne, his mind wondering about the Kingdom of Suzubuya that had set up camp in front of Digitopia. They sounded trust worthy but knew that he had always been overly trusting and this was this kingdom's first contact with anyone since Digitopia had sealed itself under a barrier over a hundred years ago. He got up and paced back and forth, until Captain Maeda entered the room, and removed his helmet.
"I have increased security at our front gate, they won't be getting until we escort them in for the tournament, and peace talks" Captain Yamato Maeda said before bowing before his king "Also I sent out scouts to gather information about them"
Zephirim paced back and forth "Hopefully that Vigilante was wrong, that one that showed up almost at the same time as the Suzubuya kingdom, he warned us not to trust them" he said looking at his captain with a concerned expression "What was he called again… Oh yeah his name was The Blackavar, and looked about the same age as my son"
"We shouldn't trust him either, how do you know this Blackavar isn't a trick to start a war with The Suzubuya kingdom, I really don't trust a person that hides behind a mask" Said Yamato answering the king's question "We will see after the peace talks, I think they might want to have your son marry their daughter this Mikuni they mentioned. Even though I think Takajin has more of a for my daughter Juniko, but that's your choice not theirs"
"I would never force my son into a loveless marriage, they told me she travels with my son, and is digidestined like him and my daughter Hikaru, and maybe since he left that he might develop feelings for this Princess Mikuni" King Zephirim said as he scratched his chin. "Unlike the people I have met from Suzubuya I feel like I can trust The Blackavar"
Yamato sighed "But I rather find out who he is before I can personally trust him" he said looking out the window across like from like someone could be out there not.
"Do whatever you see is right, I won't prevent you from doing what you feel is the correct you are the head of my personal bodyguards and I trust you" Zephirim said "You could be right, hunt this Blackavar down so we can find out who he is"
-Location Unknown-
Akira Suzubuya was pacing back and forth, he was muttering about various but mainly about his father and his sister, he was upset that he was not the next heir to the throne and his sister was. Even though that had happened several months ago, he would never forgive his sister for cheating he didn't have digidestined powers why would she be allowed to use hers to defeat him, these questions warred in his mind constantly, even though his father told him to let this go, but why should he, that was rightfully his throne, he was of pure bloodline born from the kings Suzubuya first wife, and Mikuni was the child of that harlot from Dark Haven, his mother had died giving birth to him, her mother had been assassinated. He smiled thinking about that, then the smile was gone, "how could the daughter of his second wife have any right to the throne" Akira shouted up at the sky.
"You are brooding again young prince" Migoku said seemingly appearing from nowhere "what is more important your membership to the Kurokami Brigade or the throne of this kingdom? You know it means nothing because everything is going to be reset by Lilithmon, you could create a new kingdom, or are you as blind as my non-working right eye" he peeled back the eye patch over his right revealing it to be as black as night with a white pupil, which made Akira looking like he was going to be sick looking at it.
"Please cover that up I beg you" Akira said covering his mouth with his left hand trying not to dry heave from the sight he had just beheld. "I understand I want to a member of the Kurokami brigade but it still hurts thinking that my mutt sister would get my throne, hopefully Lilithmon brings upon the annulment before that happens"
"As soon as we get the stone, hidden in Digitopia, the less time until that happens. Better it is for you when Ankou shows up" Migoku said returning the patch that covered his bad eye. "When he does get here you won't like it if you don't have what he wants" he smiled at the scared expression that Akira was giving him now.
-To Be Continued-
Will Mikuni stop the Kurokami from getting the Annulment stone hidden in Digitopia, and does the Kingdom of Suzubuya really want peace instead of domination, to answer this question please tune into the next Digimon digital monsters.

Mikuni ran towards the thing with the many silver faces, her Digimon partner Vasantmon in tow, she hit the thing with her quarterstaff, the weapon dissolved, Mikuni jumped as a silver tentacle reached for her, and nearly got her, the ground began to dissolve too, Mikuni was going to make another run at it, when Takajin and Hikaru grabbed her,
"Run" Takajin shouted at Mikuni, as she struggled to get back in the fray with whatever that thing was, but would have gotten her killed in the process, he continued to drag her until she finally gave in and ran with them.
They were running the ground dissolving behind them; wild digimon screamed as they were dissolved, and the people that were in the path of fissure would dissolve as well, Takajin, Hikaru and Mikuni were trying to put up as much distance from the dissolving ground as possible.
