Prologue: Dark Purpose

BOOM! Lightning struck the barren land that seemed to have gone without water or sun for years. All around the land loomed tall, daunting rock structures jutting out of a crimson sea. "Come closer Chaos!" shouted a silhouetted figure perched atop one of the structures with an angry, dark voice. "I'm not hiding any more, you reaper!" His challenge echoed through the air, off of the stone structures, and was swallowed by the sea below. "Soon your power shall be mine."

"Brother!" called a white knight that appeared near the black figure. "What is the meaning of this? You know we need to stay hidden." His voice wasn't quite calm, but guiding and wise for his age.

The black figure turned to reveal a knight in a dark purple armor, black lining gleaming in the light that came from nowhere and everywhere, his black and red cape waving softly behind him like a piece of the sea below. On the knight's chest plate, a symbol was engraved and blackened in: a thin circle drawn around a perfect triangle, three more surrounding the first, connected to it's vertices, forming a Digital Hazard. The helm adorning his head and hiding his face, two long ears protruding from it also armored, had a somewhat similar symbol engraved on it. This was black triangle, three smaller red ones surrounding it, though not touching it, to form an exact opposite to the Zero Unit.

The shadow gazed at the newcomer clad armor resembling his, retracing features he already knew too well. This knight's armor was white with red accents, a matching cape draped over his shoulders and hanging down his back. The symbols on his breastplate and helmet were matching, unlike his own. They weren't the dark emblems emblazoned with foolhardy pride, but a true Zero Unit.

The shadowed knight smiled, holding out his hand to his kinsman. "So glad you decided to join me, brother. With your help, defeating the Chaos will be extremely easy." There was something behind his smile, behind his words, that could have charmed a snake, but the had no effect on the white knight.

"I have no desire to help you." His voice grew hard. There was no changing his mind. "I know the way your mind works, now." He didn't have to shout for his brother to hear him, but as emotion filled his voice, it grew louder on it's own. "At first, I didn't—no, couldn't—believe it, but now I know the truth. All you want is the powers Chaos holds." He softened, not quite pleading, but trying to reason with his sibling. "Brother can't you see the devastation the Chaos' power caused to our world?" The knight now drew a white sword from a hidden crease in his armor, and gestured with it. "You can gain nothing from this." The light shining on the blade revealed runes carved into the metal. He stepped forward calmly. "I'm not going to let you do this, brother. I can't stand by and allow such ruin to befall us."

Drawing his sword, the black knight sighed and adjusted his footing on the stone perch. "You know," he started, matching the white knight's stance perfectly. "I was hoping you would see my reasoning for this, but I can tell you're just too blind to see past your helm. And though you can't allow me, I can't let you stop me."

"And I can't let either of you take it for yourselves!" roared another knight as he appeared on another nearby structure. This, the third brother, was coated in gray armor, black lining each plate with care. The images cast onto his own armor was a mixture of that of his brothers', marking him as the medium between the two extremes. A silver cape billowed out from behind him as the winds seemed to pick up. The energy surrounding the three brothers was growing dangerously high for the crimson sea, and it began to churn beneath them all. "Don't tell me you're trying to leave me out of things again, brothers. I have come to take what you both seek."

"No!" exclaimed the white knight, again sweeping his sword out in a wide arc, another gesture, "Are you both blind? You saw what distortion and deaths this Chaos caused. It wants us together. Can't you see that? We need to stop it, not absorb its power! We need to help this world to return normal."

"But with its power we can rule these worlds, no longer servants." The black knight then turned to the gray knight. "What do you say N-"

"No!" shouted the gray knight, cutting off his brother. "You think I can' see you trying to deceive us? I know you will betray me."

He snorted. "Fine. I see you both made your choice. Now, you're nothing more than gnats in my way." He raised his sword in both hands. Power gathered within and around him, sending the red sea below into a frenzy. "DARK RISING!" the knight yelled, and struck his sword in to the ground. The stones shuddered. Without much more warning, hundreds of shadow hands erupted from the ground and grabbed at the white and gray knights.

Seeing this, the white knight began to glow, the light expanding to briefly illuminate everything in the area. "CLEAR LIGHT!" He yelled, and the light destroyed the shadows that reached hungrily for the gray and white brothers. As the light subsided, he raised his sword, shining as it charged. "CATALYST STRIKE!" And he dashed toward his black brother. He hacked and slashed at him, but the black knight was able to parry, and the two ruthlessly attacked each other in a vicious sword fight. Each tried to get the upper hand, but every attempt was blocked or dogged. Neither were able to land a blow on the other. But then the black knight saw an opening he wasn't prepared for and—

"NEUTRAL BLASTER!" shouted the gray knight, distracting the other two as a wave of energy erupted from his sword. The blast slammed into the knights, knocking them a few feet back. He followed this seamlessly with another attack, seeing nothing short of it would stop his brothers. "ROARING ABSENCE!" A huge sound wave now came from the gray knight, stunning the two across from him. The white knight stumbled back, catching his balance at the very edge, and he saw the crimson sea had risen to lick at the edge of their stone platforms. The gray knight dashed forward to kill his black counterpart.

'No... I can't let the chaos get us now,' thought the white brother as he saw his two siblings fighting just as he, himself, had been. 'I guess there's no other way.' He stood up and gathered all the energy he had from his core.

The two brothers saw this and lunged to stop him, both shouting their rage in unison. "NOOOOOO!"

"CATALYST," hollered the white knight, pausing to begin the release of his energy. He knew the dangers he was bringing upon then, but it was the only way to keep his brothers from killing one another and to keep Chaos away from them. "EXPLOSION!" From this, all the energy he had was unleashed, engulfing his two brothers and the crimson sea in the eruption.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" all three screamed at once. Perhaps even the water around them was screaming, for it knew what had just happened.

After the energy and light faded, all was silent. The sun shone brightly over the desert while purple tumble weeds rolled over the area in scattered clumps. "Ugh!" grunted a small black figure. As it stood up from the dusty ground, he rubbed the back of his head. "Man that could've gone better." The small creature then looked around to survey the area. The sea was gone, as were his two siblings, and everything seemed so much larger than before. "Well they're gone. I'd better get to a hiding spot to avoid getting in trouble." He searched for the energy within him that usually came so easily. "WARP DIGIVOLE TOOO..." he exclaimed, waiting for something to happen while he stood there. "What?" he asked, looking over himself. "I should be able to digivol... Wait... That fool!" He raised his head to the sky, anger boiling inside his tiny form, and screamed. "I will get you for this Calumon!"
