Long ago, the Digital World lived in peace and tranquility. All digimon got along with each other and there was no ill will towards anybody. Then a being known as Kilobyte entered the interface and caused the Virus Types to get corrupted and attack everyone. The monster had to be stopped, so the Royal Knights to upon their heed to go and face the enemy. The battle waged on for years and it seemed that Kilobyte had the advantage with his vast growing army. In a last ditch effort, Alphamon the standing leader told his fellow knights to retreat while he held them off. With his powers, he sealed Kilobyte deep within the mainframe and disappeared. However the carnage left by Kilobyte didn't recover, causing the Virus types to mercilessly attack all the Data and Vaccine types! The Knights tried to keep the balance, but another war ended up breaking out. One of the Knights had gotten seriously wounded in battle. And that's where our story begins…

The battle was raging on to a stand still. The Virus army was trying to breach through their man defense, leaving some of the Vaccine army to push them back. Among them, three Royal Knights stood at the front. One was a pink knight with a yellow shield and ribbons. Another was white with red on some part, carrying a red and gold shield. The last one was the tallest of the both with four legs and red armor surrounding his stature. The army let out a roar as they charged towards the viruses.

"Crusadermon, cover the right flank. Gallantmon, you take the left flank. I'm going down the middle." The red knight instructed the others.

"Yes sir Kentarousmon!" The white knight Gallantmon replied, turning on of his arms into a spear.

"This ends here Virus!" The pink knight Crusadermon growled, slicing her opponents down with her ribbons.

Kentaurosmon charged ahead, impaling some of the viruses with his ice sword. The winter knight had decided to bring his fellow knights to the battlefield to assist with protecting Lady Ophanimon's castle. It was considered a sacred place for the Vaccine types to seek from the war.

"Ha! LIGHTNING JOUST!" Gallantmon's spear hand charged with electricity as he shocked the foolish group of Vilemon. Behind him, Nefertimon flew by and sent out her Rosetta Stone attack to finish the rest.

"We'll handle things from here Gallantmon!" She told him. He nodded and let her and her fleet take care of the rest.

Meanwhile a hoard of Cerberusmon surrounded Crusadermon. They grinned as they all bunched together, ready to attack.

"So you dogs want to play now?" She said. "Why don't you go chase a ball around and wait for your master?"

All of them growled and lunged at her. Crusadermon smirked beneath her mask. "Too easy...SPIRAL MASQUERADE!" Her yellow ribbons flew out in flurries to fast for them to see. Their data exploded as Crusadermon stood there unharmed.

"From data they're born, to data they return." She shook her head. "Sad really..."

Gallantmon landed next to her. "Hey did you find where Kentaurosmon went?"

"Not really, wasn't he charging ahead?"

The sound of clanging metal stopped them cold. Running ahead, they saw Kentaurosmon engaging a rather large digimon. The digimon wore a red cloak and had bat wings on her back. Kentaurosmon was deflecting his attacks, but it seemed the digimon in turn had him on the ropes.

"You are getting weaker Kentaurosmon. Perhaps you should surrender while your still ahead." The cloaked digimon taunted.

"Alas Daemon, I don't know the meaning of the word. Maybe you can tell me?" He pushed Daemon to the ground and jumped up. "This ends here!"

The two of them watched as Kentaurosmon pulls out his crossbow and aims it at the fallen Daemon. "Any last words knave?"

"More like words, EVIL INFERNO!" Daemon unleashes his evil flames at a surprised Kentaurosmon. The flames burn the knight, making him drop to his knees.

"That was...a dirty trick! FROST INFERNO!" Kentaurosmon releases his arrow from his crossbow, hitting Daemon right below his heart. The Demon Lord clutched his chest in pain, glaring in fury at the fallen knight.

"I will end your life for that!" Towering over Kentaurosmon, Daemon raises his hand. "SLASH NAIL!"

Kentaurosmon howls in pain as the attack tears through his abdomen. Daemon cackles as the knight clutches his chest. He goes to make the final move, but is stopped by yellow ribbons. He turned around to find Crusadermon immobilizing him, tears running down her helmet.

"You...won't hurt anyone else! I won't let you!" She yelled at him. Daemon was then thrown in the air by her ribbons. "This is for Kentaurosmon! FIST OF ATHENA!"

Daemon felt his wind getting knocked outta him as Crusadermon's shield made contact with his wounded area. Taking short breaths, his fist balled up, he roared loudly. A bright red flash enveloped him and he vanished.

"No Kentaurosmon!" Gallantmon held his comrade in his arms. "You have to wake up!"

Kentaurosmon heaved a heavy breath, making his form flicker a bit. The mighty knight was losing consciousness by the second as the war waged around him. Gallantmon was trying to help him, but to no avail.

"Gallantmon we need you on the front lines! Please hurry up." The frantic voice of Crusadermon called to him. She was standing behind him, looking worriedly at Kentaurosmon's dying form.

"But Crusadermon…I can't leave him like this." Tears started coming down his helmet. "He's my best friend! I can't just abandon him!"

A hand patted the side of his face. Gallantmon looked down to see Kentaurosmon smiling at him.

"Do not shed tears for me, my friend. I will always be with you wherever you are." He retracted his hand from his face. "Till all are one."

"Till all are one…" Gallantmon repeated, nodding down at him. Kentarousmon smiled one last time before bursting into data. Gallantmon looked up at the sky, Crusadermon patting him on the back.

"He was an honorable knight. We will never forget his bravery in battle." She said to him.

"Yes and I will continue to live his legacy. I will never forget you, my friend."

5 years later…human world

"May your guidance help me today on my first day of school."

A young girl prayed inside a temple one morning. The incense filled the room as she bowed down in front of a stone tablet. The girl was pale in complexion with her black hair in two odango buns. She wore a bright red kimono with gold trim and on her feet were black flats. She opened her eyes,which were spring green, and gazed around the place. On the glass walls, different spirits depicted in the form of animals were looking down at her, as if they were silently judging her. The girl traced the words on the stone tablet with her finger.

Till all are one...

She often wondered what that saying meant. She'd asked her mother, but she would just smile and tell her not to worry about it. She asked her grandfather, but he told her to find her own definition. She practiced and prayed this mantra everyday. Fingering her pendant, she also noticed the words were on the back of the thing.

"Mei, you better hurry up. And eat your breakfast before it gets cold." Her mother called from the house.

Mei stood up and grabbed her school bag. "I'M COMING MOM!" She yelled, walking down the stairs and down the path to her house. The peach blossoms rained down on her hair and on the path. Some scattered into the koi pond and filled the air. Mei could only smile at this beautiful scene. Everything was so peaceful...

Unknown to her, a pair of golden eyes watched her from afar in the bushes.
