Twist Mountain - The Last Knight

[YolkaEd]

Twist Mountain. Located between Mistaltron City and Icirrus City, this cold place is ideal for miners in excavating fossils from times past...

...though, one being wasn't interested in fossils at all.



Perched on the top of the mountain, Leopardmon simply looked towards the direction he had flown in from, contemplating his situation...



...Alphamon's gone missing for some time, and... well, he usually didn't lead us like he used to...

@ulforceveedramon@

...Examon... Gallantmon... UlforceVeedramon... Magnamon... Omnimon... taken from us by Millenniumon...

@craniumon@

...Dynasmon... Kentaurosmon... Crusadermon... Craniamon... all of them have gone off to join forces with humans...



"...out of the Royal Knights... only I remain." he sighed; while he knew that the last four probably still were around... the chances of them joining together were slim to none.

With a defeated sigh, Leopardmon closed his eyes. "...was this really our fate? To be split apart like this...?"

"Of course not..." Came a voice from the shadows.

@leopardmon@

"Hn?" Quickly getting to his feet, Leopardmon looked around. "Who's there?"

[Ninetalesuk]

"As soon as I repaired the damages in the other Pokemon world, I thought I should return... and I could sense your energy... why?"

The owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows...

@alphamon@

"Well, call it the sixth sense..." He chuckled.

@leopardmon@

Leopardmon's eyes widened, as he looked at the knight before him. "...Lord Alphamon!" Quickly, he kneeled before the Royal Knight. "This is... a surprise." he uttered.

[Ninetalesuk]

@alphamon@

"Indeed..." He said, arms crossed. "So, you said you're the only Royal Knight left? But, do you really think so?"

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...well..." Leopardmon uttered, looking down at the ground. "...apart from you... I'm the only one who hasn't been lost to time... or gone to join a human companion..." Then, he closed his eyes. "...it just... feels empty, without the remaining knights around."

[Ninetalesuk]

@alphamon@

"Where are the remaining Knights?" He asked.

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...well..." Leopardmon began, clearing his throat. "...Dynasmon went to join a young boy named Junior... Crusadermon was chosen as a certain boy's partner... Craniamon went to join Spencer Damon... Kentaurosmon was taken by Norun to enact a mission for her... part of Omnimon X is with a twisted young child... and Examon, Magnamon, Gallantmon, UlforceVeedramon and the other part of Omnimon X... were banished in time by Millenniumon."

@alphamon@

"I... see...." He hummed, rubbing his chin. "...you know... fate can be cruel... but, that doesn't mean the paths will be different..."

He looked at Leopardmon. "What if we choose different paths, but our goals are the same at the end...? What would you say...?"

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...well..." Leopardmon hummed, folding his arms. "...even if our goals would be the same... venturing down any path without our comrades wouldn't be the same." he mused.

[Ninetalesuk]

@alphamon@

"I take it you've had a lot of success when working together with your team?" He asked Leopardmon.

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...well... success isn't what I was thinking of, Alphamon..." Leopardmon murmured. "...rather... the comraderie between all of us... when we're split apart like this, sharing any victory between us is..."

[Ninetalesuk]

@alphamon@

"I see... and yet, you're lost on what to do?" He asked. "With most of the Royal Knights lost in time... the others choosing their path to lend their strength to others in their quest... you wonder what your path should be as a Royal Knight?"

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...yes." Leopardmon murmured. "...I want to see order restored to the worlds... and I wish to aid those in need..." Then, he grit his teeth. "...as much as I respect the other Knights' choices... the humans they join with will inevitably be sidetracked by the enemies; which in turn, limits them to simply assisting their human partner with the task at hand..."

After saying that, he sighed. "...I can't afford that many distractions... not when the worlds need our aid..."

[Ninetalesuk]

@alphamon@

"I see.... I'm well aware that nothing is in order... so many enemies are around... almost... unbreathable..." He said. "However, while I do know who the true enemy is, I will not ignore the other dangers nor ignore the need to protect the innocents while working with others..."

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

"...of course..." Leopardmon nodded. "...it's just... for all my years as a Royal Knight, I've never worked alone. Even when we assisted Ryo, the other knights were there... even if I were to join a human, not working with any of my fellow knights..." Then, he pressed his hand against his chest. "...it wouldn't... be the same..."

[Ninetalesuk]

"If that's the way you feel, then maybe the others feel like that too?" He asked. "They're now working with humans, away from their Royal Knight comrades... but, they know that no matter where they are... the special bond of the Royal Knights will still be there..."

He glanced at Leopardmon. "It's a whole new experience... it might make things more exciting..."

[YolkaEd]

@leopardmon@

Leopardmon was silent. He hadn't really thought of it like that...

[Ninetalesuk]

@alphamon@

"For every path, there are options... they must knew that in order to reach their goal, they consider the options they were given... they must have learned that they have untapped powers that they cannot release on their own..."

He nodded to Leopardmon. "...even you might have powers you have yet to come across, Leopardmon... that you have yet to unleash..."
