152Here is a new story~! X3 I hope you will enjoy this addition to the GrimFall universe, Lord Maximus~! :3
The Beginning of the End...
The End of the Beginning...
Both a cycle that never ends, and yet keeps on ending.
But what happens when something intervenes in that cycle? Once a beginning to the end, now an end to the beginning, many become one, and one arises from many...
But what will this individual bring with them when they have the power of many embedded in the body of one? Will they bring about the end, or will it be a new beginning...?
Pain filled his body as he fell from the strange portal that dropped him off in an unknown location. All he could remember was fighting a strong foe, his former leader, before this portal opened, and now he was barely conscious, his body filled with wounds that would slowly heal over time, but leave him weakened while that happened.
He hit the ground hard, leaving a small crater with the impact of his body. Pain filled his helmeted head as he raised up his left WarGreymon-head hand to try and ease the aching that gave him a splitting headache, no pun intended. Sitting up, he managed to stagger to his feet, but to no avail. He fell back onto his butt, his red-interior, white exterior cape trapped beneath him. He shook his head, his green eyes shut with the pain.
Suddenly, his head snapped up, his green eyes opening suddenly as he sensed a strong energy coming up around him. It wasn't one that he was used to, he noted with interest as he staggered to his feet again, but it also meant he wasn't prepared for whatever was coming his way.
The Second in Command of the Royal Knights, the 13 strongest Digimon in the Digital World, Omnimon looked around uneasily. He had no idea as to where he was, and this unusual energy he was sensing was bothering him greatly. It was unnatural, but at the same time, natural...It wasn't like his kind's energy field, which was natural yet artificial. This was...different...
Looking behind him, Omnimon was not exactly surprised to see what looked like a giant human world creature called a bear, but it wasn't that at all. It had instead black fur with white spines that looked rather bone-like to him with glowing red eyes. It then occurred to the Royal Knight that this thing was giving off the same energy he was sensing.
'So, it seems I'm fighting an off-shoot of the bears from the human world.' Omnimon noted with distaste in his mind as he drew out his sword, but something was off. The 'bear', if it could be called that, then lunged for him, bearing its fangs and prepared to bite his right MetalGarurumon-head hand off. Reacting on pure instinct, and from past experience, no matter how small, in the Digital World battling against Digimon that were even stronger than himself, Omnimon swung his Grey Sword and sliced the 'bear' along the left side. However, it seemed to shrug off the blow, much to the Knight's surprise. The 'bear' then swiped at Omnimon with its claws, forcing the Digimon to dodge, but it still succeeded at creating claw marks along his cape, tearing a few slashes in the material, which could block some very strong Mega-level Digimon attacks. For this...thing to tear a few decent-sized slashes along his cape, the thing had to be very strong then, at least on a physical level, Omnimon mused to himself with a small hum from his voice.
He knew he had to find a way to beat the 'bear', but as to how, he wasn't so sure, as he was not used to fighting something that could withstand a physical blow from his sword, which was capable of doing great damage by itself, not counting his attacks. His head lifted slightly at that thought. Maybe...Yes, he did have a way of fighting back.
Omnimon looked around to see if anyone was nearby, but he was sensing only the unusual energy of the 'bear' before him. And as his vision was better than that of a human's, he could see further, and no one was in his range of sight. It seemed he was in the clear. The only issue was, he wasn't sure how much energy he would have for the attack. He looked back, his green eyes locking onto the glowing red of the 'bear' in front of him. Raising up his Grey Sword, Omnimon knew what attack to use. "Transcendent Sword!" He yelled out as the blue shockwave was unleashed from his sword right at the 'bear'. The blast wound up hitting it, and with a roar of agony, it faded. For some reason, Omnimon felt his energy drain from his body after that attack, and before he knew it, he passed out...
All he could remember was passing out at the edge of the desert after the attack he had done on the 'bear', and the next thing he knew, he was in a...vehicle of some kind, being taken back to...wherever it was going. Opening his green eyes, Omnimon looked around, only to see he was in the back of some kind of transport. He made to sit up, but his energy was lacking he found. 'Seems to have happened after that last attack...' He mused to himself. For whatever reason, his energy was definitely drained, and he was not able to move much because of it. All he could do was wait to see where he was being taken. Not that it was the first time he had been taken somewhere unknown of course. He tried to sit up, but a bump in the travel path made him jolt and Omnimon hit his head against the metal side of the vehicle he was in, blacking out again.
The next time the Royal Knight awoke, he was no longer in the vehicle, but rather in what had to be a human dwelling of some kind. His green eyes roamed over the room he was in, taking in his surroundings. It looked like a regular 'house' as the humans called it, and he appeared to be in what was most commonly called the 'family' room, or the largest gathering room in said house. Not even bothering to sit up, the Digimon just lay there for a bit, slightly moving each limb to see if he could do so without getting too tired. Much to his surprise, and his secret delight, he was able to move his body without getting tired easily now. Mentally frowning at that, Omnimon came to the conclusion he must have been unconscious for at least a day or so, human world time anyway, if his energy was not as drained as it had been before.
Finally making a move to sit up, the Royal Knight was surprised to see a portly human male wearing a red plaid shirt and blue pants that had two long leather straps on then, going from the front of the human male to his rear, holding up his pants. The human had brown hair and a matching thatch of hair under his nose, a 'moustache' if what he recalled was correct. "Oh, I see you're awake, my good chap." The portly human said in a male voice. Omnimon, from his time in his original universe, had heard many accents of the humans, and concluded, quite quickly too, that this human was originally from the country or 'zone' known as Britain. He wasn't sure of what to say, so he merely nodded. Not that he spoke much anyway. He rather preferred to keep to himself, rarely speaking unless he had to say something, and even then it was as few words as possible.
The male human seemed to smile even bigger at the response. "How do you feel?" The male asked, which made Omnimon growl to himself mentally. He had wanted to keep his voice as silent as possible, but it seemed that wasn't happening now. It wasn't that he hated the way his voice sounded, he just didn't like to talk much. But he knew he had to answer the male human, and while he could just ignore it, it was not the way of a Royal Knight to be rude...! At once, Omnimon realized something. He wasn't obligated to answer, but this human had gone out of his way to help him. It would be rude to not answer. So, he resigned himself to do so.
"I'm...fine." Omnimon replied, not liking the fact he was speaking to a human, a being that was supposed to be beneath him. However, as before, he knew the human male had helped him, so it was at least polite to respond. 'By the Ancients, I hope I don't become as kind or idealistic as Gallantmon...' Omnimon thought to himself. He rather preferred to be known as a stoic figure that only helped on orders. His fellow Knight was far more active helping on his own, sometimes even defying orders to help protect the Digital World.
"Oh, so you speak!" The man exclaimed in a joyously teasing manner. Then the man smiled again. "That's good to hear you're doing fine. It was I who found you and brought you back to our house here. You were passed out on the side of the road. Leaving someone behind just would not do, now would it, chap?"
Omnimon was once more reminded of Gallantmon by that comment, and he found himself wondering if the human would be missed by his 'family' at all before he realized what he was thinking and squashed it as quickly as he could without giving away what was truly going on in his mind. The Royal Knight was feeling very confused at the moment, not just because of his current situation, but because of the thoughts going through his mind at the moment too. He was a Royal Knight, designated to defend the innocent of the Digital World, and yet he had 'supposedly' followed orders that went against it, not that he was sure of that claim as he had been in only two real battles and not in existence that long. Humans were part of that innocent category, and yet his fellow Knights thought that humans were beneath them, save for two, one of which was Gallantmon. Slightly shaking his head, Omnimon sighed to himself. Here he was in a new, yet unknown, world, and he was thinking about his thoughts on humans instead of trying to find a way back home and learn about his new surroundings! Shoving those thoughts aside, the Royal Knight decided to focus on figuring out where he was as a priority.
"Where...am I?" Omnimon asked as he looked back at the portly human with his green eyes.
The man smiled again. "Why, you are in GrimFall, my good chap." The man replied. "And my name is Monty Uno."
"GrimFall?" Omnimon asked as he cocked his head to the side. "Where's that?"
"It's the best city in the United States." Monty Uno, the male human, replied.
As much as he wanted to remain silent, Omnimon had the feeling that if he didn't ask questions, he wouldn't learn where he was. So, he would. "I'm...confused." He said simply, speaking like a lost child, which he technically was...in a sense.
"Oh? Well, that won't do, now will it?" Monty said with a click of the tongue. "I suppose I should start with the history of this world and how GrimFall came about..."
Van Kleiss was pleased, but not as pleased as he could be. While he had yet to acquire any other subjects yet, the one subject he had attempted to bring into his lab had not arrived. No, it was missing. From a dimension where humans and unusual beings made up of data worked together to defend the two worlds in that dimension, this subject would have been of great interest and study, but now that the subject had not arrived, it meant his plans were now moot. Well, at least part of his plans anyway. He could find a way to make due without the research and necessary data the missing subject could have given him.
His compatriot, Sammael, had heard of this new dimension and had wanted a subject, but now was furious that said subject had not arrived through the gateway. "So, you mean to tell me you lost a subject?!"
"I did not expect this kind of a difficulty to occur." Van Kleiss assured Sammael. "It was simply an unforeseen mishap."
"I see. Well, see to it that it does not happen again." Sammael hissed. "As it stands, I still want one of those from that dimension as a subject. The missing one is of no matter anymore."
Van Kleiss nodded. "I will get you your subject." He assured the Fallen, who nodded and walked off. Once he was alone, Van Kleiss growled as he smacked the wall with his left hand in a fist. "Even when I succeed, there are always mishaps." He hissed to himself. "The missing subject is of no importance...Bah! Every subject has importance, and to dismiss said subject is foolhardy! Well, no matter. I can relent to his demand for now. But that missing subject...I need to eliminate it before it becomes wise to what is going on here..."
Omnimon finally looked up, his green eyes opening and looking at Monty Uno. The man had just finished explaining about the history of the...dimension he was currently in and how GrimFall had come about. But now he had more questions than answers. Like, what were Grimm? How did they form? What was Aura? What was a Semblance? He didn't have those answers, as Monty wouldn't give them to him. Rather, the human had just said those things were natural to the inhabitants here, and that he should know.
Despite the help the adult human had given him, Omnimon was still short on information, so he had to press the man for those answers. "I...don't believe I'm from here." He said slowly. "So...help...on those topics would be...helpful."
Monty looked surprised, but nodded. "Well, I can try to explain those topics you need clarification on as best as I can, then." He folded his arms. "What is it you wish to know?"
"What are...Grimm?" Omnimon asked. "And how do they form?"
"Ah...that question. Many ask it, but we have little to no solid answers." Monty replied with a sigh. "All that we know is that Grimm come from the black pools of the Dark Substance, which, while an unoriginal name, describes them perfectly." He then looked up. "Grimm come in many species, but they are all a threat to humans, regardless of said species." Looking back at Omnimon's green eyes, he continued. "Grimm are the biggest threat to all of humanity, which is why we have the Huntsmen and Huntresses, who fight and hunt down Grimm. And with that comes the ranking system of the Huntsmen and Huntresses: class one, trainee; class two, "rookie; class three, combatant; class four, veteran, and class five, elite."
Omnimon's mind was quick to put the explanation into a comparison he could understand much more easily, but it wasn't like a little kid's perspective. No, it was far more complex than that. "I see..." He trailed off, not wanting to reveal just what was on his mind at the moment.
"Any other questions?" Monty asked as Omnimon nodded again.
"Yes. Aura and...Semblance...what are they?" He asked as Monty smiled.
"Ah, now that I know how to explain better." The man said as he took a seat in front of the Digimon. "You see, chap, an Aura is a physical manifestation of one's soul. It can be unlocked through training or through the use of another's Aura, and it takes on a glow that matches the person wielding it. It can be awakened with training and willpower too. Anything alive can have an Aura. And a Semblance is like an extension of a person's Aura, or an ability that is unique to each person using it. It is said to be representing a part of a person's character too."
Once more, Omnimon took in this information with a simple nod. He remained silent, but he was thinking about this and his mind was making quick comparisons that would make it easier for him to understand and relate it to his kind.
"Any other questions, my boy?" Monty asked in a warm tone. Omnimon just shook his head. "Well, I think I shall let you rest now, chap. Let me know if you have any other questions." The man then got up and left, leaving the Royal Knight to his own devices once more. Looking down at the floor, Omnimon was now able to have some time to think, and what he had heard was clearly confirmation he was in a different dimension, not that he wasn't used to being catapulted to other worlds already. But before he could think any further, two young voices arguing made him look up and out the window. There were two children, one a young boy with brown hair and who wore lenses over his eyes while the other was a dark skinned girl with dark hair and 'fox' ears on her head. While Omnimon would normally consider that odd, given how he was a Digimon, he had seen even more unusual and disturbing things, so to see a human with animal ears was not that unusual to him.
He watched the two training for a while, taking in how each moved and reacted to the other. It reminded him of training with his friends before he had become a Royal Knight, but he shook his head again and looked away. There was no need to remember the past times, right? He was no longer in his home, but did that mean he had to forget those memories? Omnimon shook his head again and looked around. He knew he had to move on, but there was no way he could just remain idle. He needed to find a way to survive in this world, and it seemed that unlocking this...Aura and Semblance...was the best way to do that. But...was he even alive to have a soul to unlock an Aura? Again, the Digimon shook his head. He knew he was alive, but still...
Monty saw him looking confused and came over, having just been walking by to the kitchen. "Is something wrong, chap?"
Omnimon looked back at him, green eyes filled with a confused look. "What...am I? Am I...alive?"
"Now why would you ask a question like that?" Monty asked, confused himself now. "Clearly you are if you were injured enough to feel pain, but I cannot, for the life of me, fathom why you would think something like that."
Omnimon looked down, clearly not that reassured, but somewhat calmer now. It was true. If he felt pain, then he clearly had to be alive. Plus, he did sleep, eat, and breathe, plus he 'bled' in a sense too. He just knew he had to be alive. Thinking about that seemed to reassure him more than ever and he looked back at Monty. "Thank you..."
Monty smiled. "Glad I could help, chap." He then went serious. "But why did you think that? Are you a youngster?"
Here, Omnimon froze. While he could be considered as such, he was also not. "No...Not...really." He admitted. "Not...young...but also young..."
Here Monty was confused, but didn't question it. It seemed that his guest was confused and possibly suffered amnesia in a Grimm attack. "Well, do not worry, my boy. It does not matter now." Omnimon looked back, confused. Monty smiled again. "If you can't remember, it's alright. It will return to you in time."
Omnimon was surprised the human thought he had lost his memory, but also realized it would be a perfect cover story for his confusion on many issues, including that of the Grimm, Semblance, and Aura. "I hope so...too..." He said, trying to make himself out to be a scared victim.
Monty then sat down again. "I could help you to unlock your Aura and Semblance, if you would like."
Looking back up, Omnimon was surprised, but knew that if he was going to survive in this world, he would have to so just that to make it out of battles alive, considering how his Transcendent Sword had left him drained and unconscious for at least a day. He nodded. "I would..."
Monty smiled again. "Great, chap!" He exclaimed as he grabbed Omnimon's arm and pulled the startled Royal Knight to his feet. "Let's get started!"
It say the training was hard was an understatement. Omnimon had never been so tired in his digital life, and that was saying something. This human had been training him to awaken his Aura, but it wasn't easy. While Omnimon had the training, he found he lacked the willpower. Omnimon knew he had to unlock his Aura, but there was no way he could awaken it unless he had the willpower. He had no reason to have the willpower, not unless he wanted to get home, but then again, why would he? No one there considered him a friend or ally...
His Royal Knight training told him to defend the innocent, but that wasn't enough, as it was his job. He was completely at a loss, Omnimon realized. What was his reason to unlock his Aura? If he didn't have one, then why would he need it? Defending the innocent wasn't enough, which only hindered him, he noted with a bit of disgust at himself.
Monty frowned as he saw the Royal Knight just stand up and look down at one of his 'hands'. "Is something wrong, Rik?"
"What...is my reason...to unlock my...Aura?" Omnimon asked. They had been training for the last week, but to no avail. 'Rik' was Omnimon's alias that Monty had assumed was his name when he had asked the Digimon his name and had been given the answer of Royal Knight, or RK for short.
"You don't need a reason, just the willpower." Monty replied. "It is needed to unlock Aura."
"But...what if...one...has no will?" Omnimon asked. Monty frowned. That was a bit disturbing to say the least.
"Well, you won't last out there, chap." Monty replied gravely. "If you don't have the will to survive, then you won't last at all."
Omnimon looked down again. It was true. He had to have the will to survive, like he had against that first Grimm he had defeated. However, there was more to it than that, he figured. He had never acted without orders before, which was why he was so nervous and unsure of his ability to survive in this place. That was part of why he couldn't unlock his Aura, he figured.
"I...never...acted...on my own much...before..." He admitted at last. "Only...a few...times before..."
Monty frowned. "I see." That made things a bit more difficult, as, since this was someone who was so used to following orders, he might not have the will to function on his own.
This was a real issue, and it was one that bothered Monty greatly. He had to find a way to help Rik act on his own, or he would never awaken his Aura or his Semblance to survive in the world out there.
"Well, we'll just have to work on that then." Monty said as he got Omnimon to look at him. "We'll just help you gain confidence in your abilities to act on your own."
It was true, Omnimon had acted on his own, but that was only twice. Once when he had first emerged, and then again against the leader of the Royal Knights to defend both worlds. Other than that, he had been never called upon and he had no experience. So of course it made sense he had no will to survive or fight to live.
It was clear to Monty that this guy was acting more like a child, but he assumed it had to do with the 'memory loss' he was 'suffering'. The man had no idea that the Digimon before him was indeed that young, but also much older than that. So, he would have to train his guest as well as help him to grow in his confidence and ability to act on his own. So, he led the Royal Knight away to a new location to help him out more.
"Okay, chap." Monty said as he looked at Omnimon. "I'm going to train you, myself." He then concentrated and, to the Digimon's surprise, his hands gained a flame in their palms. "This is my Semblance, called the Flame. My Aura allows me to heat up the energy in my body and expel it as a flame." He then moved towards Omnimon. "Now, when I attack you, you have to react accordingly."
Omnimon didn't have much time to think before a blast of flame came his way. On instinct, he reacted and drew upon his sword to slice through the flames, which he did, but he did get burned slightly by the Semblance. Monty frowned at that. "While a good counter, it was not what I expected of you." Confused, Omnimon looked back at Monty as he unleashed another blast of flame. Omnimon saw the flame blast coming towards him again, and while he knew he could slice through it, it had caused him to get burned slightly. So instead of that, he called upon his Garuru Cannon, and fired at the flame blast. However, instead of freezing it, the flames exploded against it and while Omnimon was thrown back into a tree by the blast, Monty himself was unharmed, mostly, due to his Aura shielding him.
A groan escaped Omnimon as he sat up, feeling his whole digital body aching. Firing hadn't been such a good idea it seemed, he mused mentally, albeit grimly. Monty shook his head in disappointment at the action. "Again, a good counter under normal conditions, but a bad one against my Semblance. Not what I expected from you at all, chap. It seems you only favor heavy attacks over actually dodging."
Omnimon blinked his green eyes, taking this in with surprise. He had to...dodge...? He was confused, but decided to try it himself. Again, Monty unleashed the Flame Semblance on him, but this time, the Royal Knight had an idea of what to expect and knew what Monty wanted him to do. So, he dodged the flame blast by moving to the left. Monty nodded. "Very good, chap. Now, I am going to mix things up, and I will tell you when to move accordingly, but then I will slowly taper off and you will have to react according to your own judgement."
Omnimon nodded, feeling a bit more confident now. Maybe...he could do this...
A newborn...yet not...
From the realm where two worlds are just parts of one...
Coming into being when the end was near, creating a new beginning, thus continuing a never-ending cycle...
The young warrior with the instincts and reflexes of a true veteran...
Out of many, one...
And from one, many...
Okay, usual rules apply. No flames or outright hatred of the story, as those will be reported and/or deleted depending on his the review is signed or not.
A new arrival to the GrimFall universe has come, and he is not from this world. A knightly form of digital origins, he will become a threat that not even the craziest or maddest of Huntsmen and Huntresses would want to tangle with unless they were so fanatical they had no reasonable thought.**coughHosscough** Even the Fallen would be wary of him, despite being able to take him on in a one on one fight.
And some explanation time. This form of Omnimon is sort of a fan-version. He still looks like the original that appeared in the Digimon 2000 movie, and has that level of power too. However, there is also his form of Omegamon, who is not as strong. Omnimon came into being with the help of the human children's support, aka, their digital essence, so he has the boosted strength and stats. Omegamon is just WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon DNA-Digivolved together, so this form does not have those boosted stats.
Basically, I turned Omnimon and Omegamon into two different Digimon of differing power levels. Omnimon is stronger and has better abilities while Omegamon is weaker, but has a stronger form in the X-form and has the Omega Inforce, which basically gives him the abilities of Omnimon on a boosted level and the ability to see the future to an extent.
Now, Omnimon also has his own unique ability, being a separate being from Omegamon. This ability is called the Omni Inforce, which can cancel out other Inforce abilities of the Royal Knights who have them. This has a weakness too though, as Omnimon has to get in close to get a slash in at the enemy to disable their Inforce. So it's only able to be used at close range, and it can last only 72 hours before it wears off. To level the playing field, Omnimon will use his own Inforce to disable his own ability too, so this means that the if Royal Knights fight each other, it can be made into a level playing field.
This is from a fan-fiction I had an idea for called Digimon: Ragnorok, where Omegamon and Omnimon are two different Digimon. They might look the same, but their power strength is where they differ. Plus, Omegamon's WarGreymon head hand does not turn orange like Omnimon's does, and his own cape is red while Omnimon's is more like a royal knight's.
Anyway, enjoy~! :3
