Knights of the Digital World

"Alright, Chief Yamaki is also trying to protect this world. Let's hear his explanation first." Another icon lit up, and a gentle male voice smoothed things over, "Chief Yamaki, you've been given your chance. Try to convince us. If you can't, the annihilation plan will be canceled, and all related data will be destroyed!"

Thank you for your understanding.

Yamaki adjusted his sunglasses, thanked him, and then said earnestly:

"I admit that this was my mistake, allowing the annihilation plan to be exploited by the Digimon. According to them, there are even so-called 'gods' among them... Regardless of whether this is true or not, what we must be aware of is that the Digimon that appear in the future will become increasingly powerful."

"Of course, I have confidence in our country's military. I believe those Digimon are no match for the army. However, the fact that Digimon manifest in cities is a huge limitation for the military! Too many weapons cannot be used. Are we supposed to launch missiles into our own cities?"

"Aside from heavy weaponry, the weapons available in cities pose a significantly reduced threat to Digimon. This is extremely disadvantageous for military operations and could very likely result in massive casualties."

"While the Annihilation Plan was used in previous operations, it undeniably demonstrated its lethality against Digimon. Preserving it is like keeping a powerful weapon for future battles. Are we just going to watch those kids fight? That's too dangerous!"

"Of course, I will learn from this experience. I will not use the annihilation plan unless absolutely necessary. However, I want to tell you all that, whether we use it or not, we must have this weapon! We cannot wait until we need it in the future to regret our decision today!"

Yamaki spoke with great force, stating his point of view with unwavering conviction.

The screen in front of him fell silent, and the four images remained dim. The being on the other side seemed to be carefully considering Yamaki's statement.

Finally, the last piece of the pattern lit up, and a calm and composed voice said:

"Chief Yamaki, you're absolutely right. But I have a question. Those kids can command Digimon to fight, can we do that?"

Yamaki seemed well-prepared for this kind of question, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately answered:

“We have conducted similar experiments. We captured several Digimon in an attempt to tame them, but all of them failed. Although Digimon tend to be more like wild animals in their habits, they do possess a high level of intelligence. They will compromise and then rebel. After several failed experiments, we gave up on this approach.”

"Oh? How did those kids manage that?" the calm voice asked.

"Those kids call themselves Beast Tamers and possess a device called the Arc Machine. But we haven't figured out how they obtained it. They seem to use it to control Digimon. However, the device seems to only work on them; it doesn't work on others."

Yamaki replied.

"I see..." The calm voice paused for a moment before saying, "In that case, let's not waste time on this. Chief Yamaki, what you said before was very good, and I also have faith in our army. However, urban warfare does have significant limitations. Retaining the annihilation plan is necessary! I agree! Gentlemen, what do you think?"

"I second that."

"Agreed."

"Then let's keep it. Chief Yamaki, please don't let us down again!"

The other three icons lit up in succession, indicating their agreement. Yamaki's words had indeed struck a chord with them. It's always good to have a backup plan.

Thank you all for your support! I will definitely protect our world!

Yamaki took off his sunglasses, revealing determined eyes, and said this.

…………

"Emmu, you can wake up now! We're almost there!"

The Dark Code issued a warning.

Emu, who was fast asleep in his seat on the Darkship with his cub, suddenly awoke with a start. He vaguely dreamt that Yamaki was talking to a screen. But he quickly dismissed the hazy dream, looking with a smile at the world he was about to arrive in:

"Savior of the world, I'm back!"

Chapter Two, The Ruined Bean Gate Town (Second Update)

"I, Hu Han... Bah, I, Bao Sheng Yong Meng, am back!"

As Emu watched the world of the Saviors draw ever closer, he smiled happily.

The Saviors world plays a significant role in Emu's growth. His encounter with Parad, his battles alongside Daimon and others, his promise to the Eight-Legged Horse Beast, his training under Bancho Mamemon…

These are precious and beautiful memories that Eternal Dream can never forget!

Emu's original plan was to come to the Saviors World to reunite with old friends, visit his master, and fulfill his promise to the Eight-Legged Horse Beast. However, by chance, he ended up in the Beast Tamer World.

Although Emu came to change the world of beast tamers this time, it did not prevent him from acting according to his original plan.

After all, there's the Dark Knight as a backup.

"Who should we go see first? The DATs members, or our master? We can go see the Eight-Legged Horse Beast last. We'll get the power of the World Tree there before we leave. But before that, we can fight the Eight-Legged Horse Beast. The other Royal Knights are fine too. We're short on cards..."

Yongmeng was making plans to herself.

He has grown a lot compared to before. Now that the system fragment is dormant, his power is only at level 5.

However, he was once too afraid to fight the Eight-Legged Horse Beast at level 5, but now at level 5, he looks forward to fighting it and even wants to fight the other Royal Knights.

This demonstrates Emu's growth.

Ever since Emu stepped forward to protect everyone during the battle against Lucemon, he knew that Kamen Riders should not be limited by their apparent rank or power.

What determines a knight's strength is always the firmness of his beliefs!

When he is determined to protect everything, the power of the knight will respond to his will!

Therefore, Emu no longer cared about the difference in levels. He was happy to have a good fight with the eight-legged horse-beast and fulfill their original agreement.

"Hmm, I've decided. I'll go see Master first! The world barrier has been repaired, and the DATs should have disbanded by now. It'll be quite troublesome to find them..."

"I do have a mission this time, so I'll go see my master first, then go find Eight-Legged Horse Beast to fulfill my promise. I can also ask him to let me see Yggdrasil. Even if I can't get Yggdrasil's card, it would be good to have him help me think of a way. We're all in the Digital World, he should be able to help, right?"

Yongmeng pondered for a moment, then made a decision. He patted the side of the carriage and said, "Dark Ship, can you take me to Doumen Town? It's the place where you picked me up last time."

"Doumen Town? No problem. We'll be there in ten minutes at most!"

The Darkship responded with a whistle.

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to it! It's been so long since I've seen Master. And Shakamon and Gokumon, I wonder if they're still in Beangate Town? And LadyDevimon and Angewomon sisters, I wonder if they've evolved into Mostimon? But evolution is quite difficult, it probably won't be that easy."

And there's Big Bean Beast! Haha, he must have gone back. Those little ones in their infancy and growth stages still need his care. And Lotus Beast, too! It's been so long, she must miss me terribly!

We won't be seeing Captain Satsuma and the others this time, but it seems Dai is adventuring in the Digital World? I wonder if we'll see him? And what about BanchoLeomon! Yggdrasil has stopped bothering him, so he probably won't run off again, right? But you never know, he's the kind of person who likes to act alone..."

Yongmeng sat in her seat, swinging her legs, eagerly anticipating the upcoming reunion. She muttered to herself, reciting the names of her old friends one by one.

After Yongmeng finished his rambling, he saw the lion cub lying beside him, listening attentively, but with a look of confusion on its face. Only then did he remember that the lion cub had never had any contact with the people it was talking about.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Emu reached out and hugged the young lion's head, placing one hand on his head as he said:

"Young Lion, I'm so sorry, I was so happy and forgot about you. But it's okay, I'll introduce you to them later! Master and the others are all very nice people, you'll definitely like them!"

The young lion endured Emu's large hands rubbing against his head, a hint of anticipation in his eyes:

"I believe you, Emu. Anyone you talk about so much must be a good person. Tell me your story, okay?"

"Haha, no problem!"

Emu readily agreed and began to tell the story while embracing the lion cub.

After chatting for a short while, the Darkship let out a long whistle, announcing, "Doumen Town, we've arrived!"

"Oh, we've arrived? Lion Cub, we'll tell the rest of the story later. Let's go down now. I'll introduce you to them!"

Yongmeng released the cub and stood up excitedly.

"Yes, Emu, I'm really looking forward to it!"

The young lion also jumped up excitedly and followed closely behind Emu.

Although it was just a brief chat, they both felt their tacit understanding deepen, and they could even sense each other's inner emotions.

It seems that we are not far from super evolution.

But Emu wasn't in the mood to think about any of that right now. He leaped towards the car door with the cub, and before he even got out, he shouted:

"Master! Lotus Beast! Bean Beasts! I'm back!!!"

However, when Emu rushed out of the car, what he saw in front of him was not the bustling town of Beangate, where Beanmon and Revolvermon were constantly patrolling.

Instead, there stood a desolate, ruined city. Its gates were wide open, revealing dark, gaping passageways. A corner of the city wall had collapsed, and the rest was littered with broken remnants. The city was lifeless, with overgrown weeds growing all around. Apart from the faintly visible characters "Doumen Town" atop the city gate, Yongmeng couldn't reconcile it with the Doumen Town she remembered.

The smile on Emu's face hadn't faded yet, but the smile had vanished from her eyes, replaced by a blank stare.

This scene was something he had never expected.

With a top-tier Ultimate-level monster like the Bancho-Mamemon in charge, and a top-tier Ultimate-level team like the Fifth Bancho supporting them, how could anything happen in Mamemon Town?

When Barbamon came with great momentum, wasn't it also repelled?

Even though there were many coincidences involved, it was only through the successive evolutions of Shakamon and Parad that Barbamon's attack was stopped.

However, that incident also served as a wake-up call for the gang leader, Beanmon. He would definitely take appropriate action afterward. Inviting the other five gang leaders to reside permanently in Beanmon Town wouldn't be difficult.

How did Doumen Town become what it is today under these circumstances?

Emu had also considered whether the Bancho Beanmon had moved Beanmon Town to another place. However, the dilapidated city walls and the wide-open city gates suggested that things were not so simple.

What exactly happened in Doumen Town?!

Chapter 3, The Young Lion's Resolve (Third Update)

"Emu, are you alright?"

Seeing Emu's distraught appearance, the young lion asked with concern.

The cub's voice startled Emu from his confusion. He suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Master! Bancho-mame-Master! Lotus-mon-sama! Shakamon! Gokumon! Mame-mame-mon!"

Emu's loud shouts echoed through the empty city gate passageway, but there was no response.

The city has long been empty; no one lives there.

"Emu... is there anywhere else you'd like to go? I'll take you there."

When Dark saw Emu in this state and heard his shouts echoing in the passageway, it couldn't help but make a suggestion.

Emu stopped shouting, stared blankly for a moment, then her gaze hardened again, and she refused:

"Dark Number, thank you for your kindness. But it's not necessary! I need to stay and find out why Beangate Town is in ruins, and find my master and the others!"

Yongmeng hadn't expected that what he thought would be a routine visit would turn into such a commotion. But he wouldn't back down!

He wanted to protect everyone's smiles, and even more so, he wanted to protect those around him. If he couldn't even protect his own teachers and close friends, what right did he have to presume to claim he could protect everyone else?!

No matter who it is, he will not let them get away with this!

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. Who knows what changes have occurred in this world? I'll be leaving this world first. If you need me, just send me a signal, and I'll come immediately."

Dark chose to go with the flow. Electric Carmon's main ability lies in transportation. Although there's a scene in the fourth season where Electric Carmon is equipped with heavy weaponry, it's only effective against Champion-level Digimon; it's ineffective against Ultimate-level and higher Digimon.

As for the Dark Beast, which has pushed its transportation capabilities to the extreme and can even travel through time, its combat power is negligible.

There's clearly something wrong with the Saviors world now. Not only does Dark Ship not want to stay, but Emu also doesn't dare let him stay here.

If something happens to the Dark Ship, then it will truly be trapped in this world.
