Chapter One: Who We Are

"Who are we? We are the legendary Royal Knights.

What is our purpose? Our purpose is to defend the Digital World from any and all evil that threatens it and maintain peace.

Who am I? I am Omnimon, the leader of the nine…this nine should be ten, but our actual leader is currently absent due to unforeseen events that even I can't recall at the moment and I am second in command and as such have taken the leadership role until his return.

Who are our members? Our members consist of myself, my friend Gallantmon, Magnamon, AlforceVeedramon, Dynasmon, Crusadermon, Sleipmon, Craniummon, Duftmon, and our actual leader's name is the legendary and powerful Alphamon.

When did we come to be? We came to be when we were founded long ago by my ancestor, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode.

Who do we serve? Yes…just as all knights, we had served someone. We once served under the wicked and cruel super computer Yggdrasil, but we have since corrected our ways…we were misguided, Alphamon showed us that. Now we serve the Digital World for the greater good."

-Omnimon

Omnimon stood in the main chamber of the Royal Knight's domain. He was in deep thought, the Digital World had been in piece for a long time…too long, and he felt uneasy about it, there hadn't even been so much as a rogue Digimon causing a fuss in months, which was highly unusual. His thoughts were interrupted by someone approaching from behind, he turned around.

"Ah, Gallantmon, are you back from your rounds already?" He questioned as Gallantmon continued his approach.

"Yes…there wasn't anything for me to look into, everything is…normal, for once. I don't like it at all though, it doesn't seem right." He answered, crossing his arms as he leaned on a nearby pillar and looked up in thought; he felt uneasy about it too, they all did.

"I agree…'the deep breath before the plunge' I believe would describe this mutual feeling my friend." Omnimon answered, continuing to monitor various parts of the Digital world through the dozens of monitors in front of him. "Have the others returned?" He asked, turning back towards his friend.

"No, not yet, Duftmon returned with me but Dynasmon and Crusadermon are still checking the north while AlforceVeedramon and Sleipmon are scouting the south. Craniummon and Magnamon are on their way though."

"Alright…that's fine, is there any news on Alphamon's location?" Omnimon continued. To which Gallantmon looked down and shook his head, they hadn't heard from him for almost a year now, sure he was never there much to begin with…that's why he was often referred to as the "ruler of the empty seat", but he always checked in on them every now and then, it wasn't like him to maintain silence for so long…they were getting worried, what if something had happened to him.

"I see…but I'm sure he's alright, he's the strongest of us all…if anyone can get out of any kind of trouble…it's him, we just have to have faith." Omnimon said as he walked up to Gallantmon, still rather sullen that they hadn't found their missing leader, he looked and nodded.

"Your right my friend…it's late, the others will be here soon, I'm off to rest…despite popular belief, it is still tiring watching a world…even if there isn't anything threatening it, ha-ha-ha. Yawn...Well, I bid thee good night and adieu my friend…oh, and do be careful on your watch, even if there 'isn't' anything to watch out for, alright?" Gallantmon joked as he made his way to his chambers and waved to his friend good bye.

"Ha-ha, don't worry, I will. Sleep well my friend, see you in the morning." Omnimon replied as he made his way to the exit, it was his job to watch the whole world at night and monitor their domain during the day, he didn't mind and he got the sleep he needed whenever someone returned early during the day, and the night was always so peaceful, so he didn't mind protecting the world at night at all, he enjoyed making sure the countless Digimon below were able to enjoy their dreams, yes…this was his calling, to ensure the peace of the Digital World and the peace of mind of his fellow Digimon. He continued his way to the exit when he ran into his fellow knights, Craniummon and Magnamon.

"You be careful, okay Omnimon, with Alphamon missing for so long…well, we don't want anything to happen to you either, you know?" The golden-clad Magnamon said as Omnimon passed, he was one of the youngest members and Omnimon had somewhat taken him under his wing and had been teaching and training him for some time now, he was basically family to him…and he very well may have been, they were both descendants of Imperialdramon Paladin Mode.

"Alright, I will, thanks Magnamon. You be careful on your patrols as well. Now, Craniummon, how was the West Sector?" Omnimon replied, it was more of a formality, he didn't expect to hear anything interesting.

The skull-armored Digimon replied with a hint of disappointment in his voice, "So quiet you could hear a pin drop, sir. This continuous quiet is really beginning to bug me."

"I understand…don't worry, I feel that it will change soon." Omnimon replied as he continued to advance towards the exit. "I'll be back at dawn, see you then." He stated as he was beamed to the world below. He looked around and saw that he was sent to his usual spot, just above the vast ocean in the center of the world. It reflected the moonlight beautifully. He took a few minutes to take in the beauty around him and then began to glide slowly across the world-that was how he patrolled, slowly and one area at a time. "Another beautiful night, let's hope it lasts for a long time." He thought to himself as he continued to soak in the beauty and peace that the world had at night. He made it to the outskirts of the main continent when he swore he heard someone pleading for help.

"Someone, HELP!!!!" was what he heard the voice cry.

"Finally, something to do…" He thought to himself in relief, it was about time. "Alright, I'm coming, hang on!" He yelled back in response as he began to land in the general direction of the voice.

A/N: What will Omnimon find when he lands? Why has Alphamon not reported in a long time? Find out, RnR please.
