Dukemon of the Royal Knights stood at attention among his fellows.
Well, not all of them, of course. As YggdrasilÆs strongest and most loyal, they were almost never all together in one place.
There was always something going on, after all.
This time there were only four of them, which was still a surprisingly large number.
Dynasmon and LordKnightmon were here. That was a pair heÆd never understood, but they worked very well together. Dukemon couldnÆt say he knew how theyÆd managed to work out their differences, but they had.
And considering just how different they were, that was something. When theyÆd first been put together, the other Knights, or, at least, the ones that had been recruited before those two had been partnered, had created a betting pool on how long it would take them to kill each other.
Omegamon had one, being the only one that had faith in YggdrasilÆs decision at the time.
The other two were Sleipmon and himself. Honestly, Dukemon liked Sleipmon as a person and he was a reliable ally.
But heÆd been shoved into the position of his partner.
And that was a position he had no business trying to take.
Even so, Dukemon was aware that he was being unfair and had only ever once voiced his opinion. He also did his best to think of Sleipmon as being like Renamon and Terriermon; as an ally, an equal, and a very close friend.
But not his partner.
After that, they had gotten along well enough.
Besides, it was like having Grani back.
The door opened, drawing DukemonÆs attention.
Omegamon entered and Dukemon stiffened at the sight of him.
Among all the Royal Knights, Omegamon was the one he was closest with. Originally, heÆd been disappointed to find that they wouldnÆt be teammates. If heÆd had a choice in who to partner with, it would have been a list like this: Takato, Omegamon, Nobody, and Everyone Else.
Having said that, Omegamon pretty much never brought good news when he called meetings like this. Though, granted, that was probably because he just sent them a message if it was good news.
Dukemon glanced at the doorway and was surprised when Omegamon closed it behind him. His partner wasnÆt here.
Craniummon and Omegamon had the highest success rate of any team in the Royal Knights, having never failed a mission they performed together. This was probably because they had the highest success rates individually, too; Omegamon had never failed a single mission, and heÆd performed the most out of all the Royal Knights. Craniummon had failed one once, supposedly.
They generally stuck together though, as their success and completion rate together was higher than either of their separate scores.
If theyÆd split up, things must be really bad.
Dukemon didnÆt have much time to wonder about it though, because, if nothing else, Omegamon was good at getting things done.
That was why he was the leader while Alphamon was gone.
And Alphamon was always gone.
ôTwo things of importance have happened recently that you might not be aware of. First of all, the Crest of Lust has been detected, meaning Lilithmon has made it into the new Digital World. Her current location is unknown and there have not been any eye witness reports.ö
Dukemon closed his eyes. A Great Demon Lord. Those guys were always a pain and people always got hurt when they showed up.
They were also some of the strongest Digimon in existence.
What to do? Would all four of us be getting sent after her? That might be for the best; finish this as quickly as possible.
But if Craniummon and Omegamon were already aware of it and on the job, what was the point. Omegamon aloneà
ôSecond of all, there have been reports of a Plotmon traveling the Digital World.ö
Dukemon put his previous thoughts on hold to take a moment to think about that.
He was surprised and confused.
A Plotmon? Not even a Plotmon X?
A Child level Digimon was in the Digital World.
Who cares?
ôSheÆs is neither an X Digimon nor a Digimon chosen by Yggdrasil, yet she seems to have survived the X-Virus.ö
That was slightly more interesting, but Dukemon still didnÆt see the point. CouldnÆt he have just ordered some Adults to deal with it? What was the point in telling that to four Ultimates?
Unless this was OmegamonÆs strange way of giving them time off and the Plotmon in question was currently heading towards the most beautiful beaches in the world, Dukemon was going to have to ask if there was a point to all this.
Omegamon turned towards him and looked into his eyes. Dukemon briefly worried about him being able to read his mind.
That happens sometimes when you live in the Digital Worldà
ôShe was last seen traveling in the company of a human.ö Omegamon said slowly. ôA brown-haired, red-eyed, goggle-wearing human male, who seems to have some degree of familiarity with the Digital World in general.ö
DukemonÆs thought processes skid to a halt as he understood what Omegamon was saying.
Takato?

Alphamon only comes in emergencies IIRC. Other then that he is always absent.
I really hope he'll be appearing in this fic, not even Takato and Lilithmon (and Dukemon, if he can be swayed) can stand against 4 or 5 Royal Knights, but if Alphamon was there, then he could rally the other knights to h5s side and turn them against Yggdrasil.
D
Omegamon, Dynasmon, Rhodoknightmon and Craniummon wouldn't leave for sure. Duftmon would probably rationalize that staying with Yggdrasil makes the most strategic sense.
So at optimum conditions it'd be Dukemon, Lilithmon, UlforceVmon, Magnamon, Alphamon and Sleipmon. Magnamon is iffy considering he seemed to stick with Yggdrasil in X-Evolution anyway.
Examon is a wild card and if he stayed with Yggdrasil he'd be the worst knight to face. He attacks FROM SPACE!
Though I can't help but think that this Yggdrasil has something like Dracumon lurking around to mess with him.

Dracumon:
Despite being a vampire Digimon, he recently has forgotten about sucking blood and apparently has been trying to pull out a prank on the Royal Knights. The two evil eyes on the palms of both his hands û the Eyes of Nightmare û are said to control the heart of those who look at them directly. Also, it seems he has a more vampire-like technique where he uses his fangs for a biting attack, Undead Fang.

i'm pretty sure you meant to say takatomon at the end of that snip Ryuugi. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
I fixed the whole Plotmon/Salamon thing. Here's the next part.

ôGive me a minute.ö Dukemon told Sleipmon.
The horse-like Royal Knight glanced at OmegamonÆs back and nodded once.
Dukemon increased his speed until he could match OmegamonÆs stride.
The older and more powerful Knight glanced his way inquisitively.
ôThank you.ö Dukemon said. ôYou called this meeting so youÆd be able to tell me about the human wandering the Digital World, didnÆt you?ö
Omegamon nodded.
ôYouÆve always spoken very highly of the boy, Dukemon, and I think you a good judge of character. I believe that if there is a possibility of being able to meet your friend again, you should take advantage of it. You and Sleipmon are to look for the Plotmon and the human. The rest of us will scour the Digital World for signs of Lilithmon.ö
Dukemon felt a bit guilty at that.
ôYou doing this in addition to your normal duties, arenÆt you Omegamon? To give me a chance to look for him?ö He asked.
When he spoke in singular, he meant it. He didnÆt care about Plotmon.
Omegamon chuckled.
ôWhat are friends for?ö He asked. He then looked down at his junior thoughtfully. ôI know how hard it is to have lost your partner and I know that you feel that Sleipmon is trying to take something from you be filling the roll, butàSleipmon is a good person. ThatÆs why I approved of your partnership in the first place. Give him a chance; IÆm sure youÆll find his aid quite helpful in tracking down your friend. He tries his best, you know. I explained things to him; heÆs not trying to violate your memory of your Tamer.ö
Dukemon looked down at that, feeling even guiltier.
ôYouÆre right, of course. IÆll try.ö He said, before pausing for a moment. ôItÆs just hard sometimes.ö
Omegamon nodded understandably.
ôI know, Dukemon. I have lost friends as well. But even so, you should not let the past interfere with attempts to make new friends. Do you think your Tamer would wish for you to keep from making friends?ö
Dukemon didnÆt lift his eyes. He wanted to be upset over his senior using his Tamers memory against him like this, but he was well aware that he was right. HeÆd told himself as much before.
ôSpeaking of whichàö OmegamonÆs eyes narrowed.
Uh-oh.
ôYou should tell them.ö He said.
Damn.
ôWhat do you mean?ö He asked, hoping Omegamon would see his reluctance and let it go.
ôYour old friends. The other partnered Digimon. I think youÆve been neglecting them.ö
It hurt because it was true.
ôIÆm not neglecting them.ö He tried to justify anyway. ôIÆve just been busy.ö
ôYouÆre not busy right now. I know, because I cleared your schedule so you can look for your partner.ö
ôThen shouldnÆt I be doing that so that I can return to work?ö He tried.
Omegamon wasnÆt buying any of it.
ôYes; you can start by asking the others what they think a Tamer would do in this situation. They do, I believe, have experience in that regard.ö The stronger Digimon said in a voice that might as well have said æI am the Law.Æ
Dukemon sighed.
ôIÆll go see them.ö He said at last. ôCome on, Sleipmon.ö
The Red Knight looked up from a computer screen he was examining.
Dukemon glanced at it. It displayed the available information concerning Plotmon and the Human. Sleipmon was already on the job.
HeÆd probably realized this was important to him and was trying to help out his friend.
Damn, again. He felt like an asshole now.
ôWe are we going?ö
ôTo visit my old friends from way back in my Tamer days.ö

I kind of like this snippet.
The interactions between Dukemon and Omegamon (and to a lesser extent, Slepimon) show that the Royal Knights care for each other and are not just mindless killing machines of Yggdrasil.
After seeing this snippet, I can see Dukemon having trouble leaving the Royal Knights, even for Takato, after all he does have friends there. It'll be interesting to see Dukemon's moral dilemma when he meets up with Takato.
...and Yggdrasil is such a bastard for setting up such a situation.

Actually, in the movie, Magnamon COULDN'T choose, he just stood there, sent a warning to Yggdrasil and did nothing else.
And Alphamon's absence does have something of a point.
Alphamon is the digimon that's so badass, the mere possibility that he MIGHT show up is a massive deterrent all on it's own.
And since no one knows where the hell he is at any particular time...
Alphamon is paranoia fuel incarnate.
And considering Alphamon's Alpha Gain Force, he could take on all of the NanaDaiMao and win by himself.

I know from Digimon X-Evolution that Alphamon was a pretty big badass. But is he really so big that all of the knights bow to him?
Is there even a scale for the strengths of the Royal Knights. I know we had one for the NanaDaiMao and a comparison of some of the royal knights and a few other mega level digimon.

Unfortunately I can't find hard card numbers for all the knight's in the newer game system.
But Alphamon had the second highest attack power in the Hyper Colosseum Digimon card game that I know of, and he was DEFINITELY stronger then Lucemon at full power.
Only Susanoomon was more fucking ridiculous, and not by all that much.
Alphamon, Susanoomon and Lucemon were three of the tiny handful that broke the 3 digit barrier.

But his ability his fucking ridiculous versus virus types.
The only card translated gives him a 700 point boost against them, not including his type advantage, to that cards max being 900 points that comes out to 1700 points versus virus types.
So he's MINDSHATTERINGLY (I MEAN HOLY FUCKING SHIT) strong against virus types but is just really good against everything else.
[color=F5F9FD]The Sword that Cleaves Evil?
More like the Sword that Rapes Evil...[/color]
EDIT: Woah, hold on, found another source of cards, and this one has an alpha evolve version of Imperialdramon.
Mode - AP/HP
Dragon - 1300/1380 (Also, Dragon Mode can stand mostly upright, didn't know that.)
Fighter - 1390/1580
Paladin - 1680/1630
Also found a better Belphemon card, so the revised NanaDaiMao stats.
By Attack Power:
Lucemon - AP-1840/HP-1730
Demon - AP-1610/HP-1420
Belphemon - AP-1580/HP-1500
Barbamon - AP-1570/HP-1340
Leviamon - AP-1550/HP-1540
Beelzebumon - AP-1520/HP-1320
Lillithmon - AP-1340/HP-1290
By HP:
Lucemon - AP-1840/HP-1730
Leviamon - AP-1550/HP-1540
Belphemon - AP-1580/HP-1500
Demon - AP-1610/HP-1420
Barbamon - AP-1570/HP-1340
Beelzebumon - AP-1520/HP-1320
Lillithmon - AP-1340/HP-1290
I'll look around and see if I can make one for the Royal knights or something now.
Though game balance makes Magnamon a complete pussy, same as Lucemon.
And now we know why Alphamon almost never shows up: he'd end up doing everyone else's job for them.
So other than Susanoomon, who could beat (or even stand a chance) against Alphamon? Dukemon CM has Quo Vadis... but I'm not sure how that'll compare with Alpha Gain Force. Maybe one of the other Super Ultimates?
