Knights of the Digital World

Emu pleaded again.

Seeing Emu's determination, Tsukasa Kadoya relented and said, "Alright, this world is in your hands. Remember to be careful. I'm going to collect the other fragments now."

As he spoke, a gray dimensional wall appeared behind Tsukasa Kadoya. He stepped inside, then hesitated before turning back to say, "Be careful."

"Relax, relax, Shige, go in peace!" Emu waved goodbye.

"I feel like there's something off about what you're saying..."

Tsukasa Kadoya muttered something, then, without further delay, stepped through the dimensional barrier and left this world.

Chapter Four: The World of the King of Beast Tamers

Emu waved goodbye to Tsukasa Kadoya, and after another experiment, he discovered that although the fragments had stopped functioning and even the power of Ex-Aid had been sealed, the original function of storing the belt was still usable.

He put the new Decade drive and cards inside, which was very convenient as he could take them out whenever needed.

"That's not scientific. Does every knight really have an alternate dimension?" Emu muttered, reaching out to pick up Wrinklemon.

This little guy can really sleep. Emu and Tsukasa Kadoya talked for so long, and he still didn't wake up. Even Decade's transformation sound effect didn't wake him.

My sleep quality is excellent.

Just as Emu finished sighing in his heart, the Wrinkled Beast yawned, woke up, and asked in a childish voice, "Emu, are we in the Saviors world you mentioned? I'm hungry!"

"No, we've arrived in another world. If you're hungry, let's go eat first. Let me see how much we have... Holy crap!"

As Emu answered the wrinkled beast's question, he naturally reached into his pocket, preparing to take out money to buy food.

However, Yongmeng suddenly realized that this was an unknown world, and whether the money he had was useful was another matter!

Moreover, the wrinkled beast's words reminded him that in this unknown world, where would he eat and sleep?

He's still in elementary school, and no shop will hire him even if he wants to work part-time!

He completely ignored this problem, only thinking about staying for a new adventure. He was so focused on persuading Tsukasa Kadoya to agree that he completely forgot to talk to him!

Because he's mostly interacted with adult Riders, Tsukasa Kadoya, while shocked by Emu's age, didn't quite grasp the situation himself. He was preoccupied with Emu's safety in battle, completely unaware that for Emu, the greatest danger was a survival crisis...

"Brother Shi! Come back quickly!!!"

Yongmeng looked up at the sky and sighed, wanting to cry but having no tears.

…………

At that moment, Tsukasa Kadoya, who was traveling between worlds through dimensional walls, sneezed loudly.

He rubbed his nose and asked in confusion:

"Who's talking about me? Hmm, that's strange. I feel like I've forgotten something. I was just about to remember, but then I sneezed and forgot everything... What could it be... Oh well, it probably isn't anything important. I'd better hurry up and collect the fragments."

With that, Tsukasa Kadoya continued to use his senses to trace the fragments, traversing between worlds.

…………

Emu called out twice, but didn't see the gray dimensional wall appear. He knew that Tsukasa Kadoya had completely left and hadn't heard his calls at all. Somewhat dejected, he sat down on the recliner, picked up the Wrinkle Beast, and said:

"Fold Beast, we're in danger now. This is an unknown world, and we can't find anywhere to eat."

"What?!" The wrinkled beast exclaimed in surprise, its little face scrunched up. "Eternal Dream, you're joking with me again, aren't you? This isn't funny at all."

The wrinkled beast tried to deny Emu's words, but seeing Emu's serious expression, it immediately knew that Emu was telling the truth, and it also became dejected, saying, "Then what do we do now?"

"I don't know..." Emu sighed, feeling helpless.

The two looked at each other with worried expressions, hoping that the other could come up with a solution.

Suddenly, Wrinklemon paused, turned its head in one direction, and said, "Emu, there's a Digimon's energy fluctuation over there."

"The energy fluctuations of a Digimon?"

Emu was also stunned. He suddenly remembered that Tsukasa Kadoya had said that this world possessed magical powers no less than those of the Knights.

He mentioned it was the power of Digimon back then, how come he forgot about it so quickly?

The existence of Digimon power means it's from the world of a Digimon anime!

Even if he can't solve his food and lodging problems in the human world, he can find a passage between the digital world and the human world, solve his food and lodging problems in the digital world, and then return to the human world to find a fragment host.

With Decade's power comparable to a weak Ultimate level, Emu could easily run rampant in the Digital World.

Regardless of which Digital World series it is, Ultimate Digimon are no longer considered weak.

Furthermore, Emu can continuously challenge stronger Digimon or befriend them, thereby acquiring their cards to enhance his own strength.

The only downside is that running back and forth is exhausting. But it's a solution, isn't it?

The most urgent thing now is to get to the place where the Digimon fluctuations are occurring, see if we can run into the main characters, and confirm which season this is.

It would be even better if I could become friends with the main characters. After all, these kids were all people Emu admired when she was a child.

Of course, Emu didn't rush over immediately. With Parad not around and Wrinklemon still a baby, there was no one to rely on. If she went over in her human form and encountered any danger, it would be disastrous.

So, this is where Decade comes in!

"hen—sh!"

…………

"You are Guilmon... a Digimon I created..."

The boy, named Matsuda Hiroto, was a gentle-natured boy with brown hair. He was covered in dirt, holding a red arc light machine in his hand, and looking excitedly at the red dinosaur in front of him.

The red dinosaur in front of him had an innocent look on its face, with a pair of wing-like ears, a snow-white chest and abdomen, and a black symbol representing "Crisis" on its chest and abdomen.

This is Guilmon, a Digimon created by Takato Matsuda through his own imagination and drawing, and brought to life by a Digimon spirit!

Just as Takato was about to go over and touch Guilmon, Guilmon's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and it turned its head and spat out a mouthful of flame in one direction.

The scorching flames struck the concrete wall and pierced through it.

The sound of the wall cracking and the flying dirt and stones startled Takato, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud, staring at the Gilmon in horror.

Guilmon remained vigilant, its body arched, letting out a low, intimidating growl towards the spot it had just left.

"Oh dear, is it because it's newly born and can't control its wild instincts yet? There's no need to be so wary of me; I have no hostility towards you."

A calm voice rang out, and a man in magenta armor stepped out, with a wrinkled beast hopping on his shoulder.

The newcomer was none other than Emu. After transforming, he quickly located the place using the senses of Wrinklemon, and through Guilmon and Takato Matsuda, immediately recognized the world he was in—

Digimon Adventure 3: King of Tamers World!

Crimson Knightmon also made its debut in this series, gaining a huge following with its cool design.

Originally, Emu didn't want to show himself. However, Guilmon's senses were too sharp. Although he was currently innocent and naive, his wild instincts as a top hunter were at their peak.

In the original story, he was driven by his wild instincts several times, completely disobeying Takato's orders and fighting with other Digimon.

Chapter 5, Staying Overnight (Part 1)

Guilmon remained agitated, constantly emitting menacing growls from its throat.

Driven by his wild instincts, he keenly sensed Emu's location and, more accurately, her immense power. His intuition told him he was no match for Emu, and therefore, Guilmon dared not act rashly.

However, Guilmon's wild nature as a hunter also prevents him from easily submitting. His growl is a disguise of strength, an attempt to scare Emu away.

This is entirely a biological instinct driven by wildness, just like how a male peacock spreads its tail when it encounters danger, using the patterns on its tail to scare away the opponent.

This move works well against Digimon that are also driven by wildness and lack rationality, but it's a bit ridiculous against Emu.

Emu looked helplessly at the Guilmon that was growling at him, then at Takato who was sitting there dumbfounded, and said, "You're his tamer, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"Huh? Me? A beast tamer?"

Qi Ren was somewhat flustered; he hadn't yet recovered.

Takato was initially delighted to see the Guilmon he had designed. However, Guilmon's ferocity and the power to shatter walls with a single flame startled him somewhat.

The sudden appearance of this strange person, in particular, filled Takato with both surprise and fear, his mind racing with all sorts of chaotic speculations. He could only stand there, watching Guilmon and the monster confront each other.

To his surprise, this strange man suddenly struck up a conversation with him, and he was immediately flustered, unable to speak coherently.

"Yes, of course it's you. Aren't you still holding the Arc Machine? Actually, I don't really like the word 'tamer.' We and our Digimon should be partners, collaborators."

Emu responded in a gentle and calm voice.

Emu's friendly attitude and response calmed Takato down a bit. He looked up at Guilmon, who was still on guard and constantly growling, and hesitated, "Gilmon looks scary. What should I do?"

"You should ask yourself that. This is your partner."

Emu couldn't offer any help either. It's up to the individual to overcome their own inner fears; no one else can help.

In the original story, Keito overcame his fear, so there's no reason why he can't do it now.

"My partner...yes, Guilmon is a Digimon I created. There's nothing to be afraid of..."

Takato encouraged himself and shakily approached Guilmon, gently stroking its back.

Guilmon swayed slightly when Takato approached, but did not harm him. As Takato stroked him, Guilmon's wildness gradually dissipated, its body relaxed, and it revealed an innocent expression, looking at Takato and sticking out its tongue to lick him.

"It itches so much, Guilmon."

Takato felt Guilmon's kindness and let go of his worries and fears, smiling happily.

"Kilmon?"

Guilmon tilted its head, looking quite adorable and silly.

"Yes, you are Guilmon! My name is Matsuda Hiroto, and I am your tamer... no, your partner."

Remembering what Emu had said before, Keito changed his mind.

"Gilmon? Takamon?"

Guilmon repeated, bewildered.

"No, I am Takato, not Takatomon..." Takato corrected him speechlessly, but Guilmon kept calling him "Takatomon".

"It seems you've calmed them down. So, we can have a proper talk now, right?"

At that moment, Emu also came over with the Wrinkle Beast.

Guilmon almost reverted to its wild form, but thanks to Takato's reassurance, it cautiously hid behind him, curiously observing Emu.

"Ah, yes. Thank you for your previous guidance. May I ask who you are?"

Qi Ren looked up at Yong Meng with some awe.
