Part 22: Paradise Lost Exposed; Royal Knights Drastic Measures

I didn't get much done game wise but lots of story will pretty much make up for that.

First off, Omnimon begins with stating that our world and the Digital World are in danger. Well... we pretty much figured that much out but thanks for confirming it?

So it turns out that Eaters have been appearing in the Digital World as well and they've become quite the menace. So, the Royal Knights, who Omnimon is a part of, tried to determine what to do to stop them. The origin of the Eaters... turned out to be a cyberspace that was just created in the human world.

You guessed it. EDEN.

They were apparently formed somehow by all the spite, aggression, and rage of humans that apparently went unchecked in cyberspace. That... doesn't make much sense but whatever you say?

This is where things get... dicey. The Royal Knights, under the leadership of King Drasil, tried to determine what the best action was. The action that was chosen... was mostly fought against by Omnimon. Why? Well...

Most of the Royal Knights blamed humanity for the creation of the Eaters and everything that was going on. They pretty much believed that there was only one solution to stopping the Eaters once and for all. Which was... the destruction of humanity. Not just Nakano, not just Japan, but pretty much the whole freaking world. As in the planet. As in Earth. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. NOT THIS CRAP AGAIN.

Let me take a moment here to talk about the Royal Knights. This seems to be a recurring theme for them. A few of them are okay, I guess (though honestly even those that are 'okay' are mostly in a grey area with questionable loyalties) and the rest seem to be CORRUPTED AS HELL. This seems to be the case with most 'organizations' in games too. The most obvious examples are what the Royal Knights did in Digimon Season 3 (Tamers) Digimon Season 4 (Data Squad) Digimon World 4 (PS2) and especially Digimon X-Evolution (english subbed only Digimon movie). Where they always take the most drastic action to preserve themselves and the Digital World over practically everything else, even those human worlds too. Because, for whatever reason, they don't even want to try to think of any alternatives. *sighs*

Well... at least Omnimon tried? But how exactly are they supposed to do this? Well, Digimon are already appearing in our world. So yes it has to do with the Digital Shifts. Basically, they are attempting to rip open a huge hole to come in and pretty much cause Armageddon. Somehow, Yuuko Kamishiro seems to be the key in all of this as well. Omnimon states that Rie Kishibe is either working with the Royal Knights or being mind-controlled. Honestly... considering the Digimon image we saw... it's likely the latter. WHAT IS WITH THIS DAMN CORRUPTION. I SWEAR.

So yeah... we need to stop this. Obviously. This is the 'Paradise Lost' plan. We regroup at the Detective Agency and even Arata shows up to help as well. We inform Kyoko and Arata and they're shocked to say the least. But Kyoko only states it confirms her suspicions. I... see...

So what are we supposed to do? Well... Kyoko and Arata go into a lengthy explanation about what exactly they are doing and I'm not going to be able to restate it word for word. I was kind of with Nokia in not really understanding. Sorry. You may have to play the game yourself. Which you should anyway because this is pretty much the BEST Digimon game I think I've EVER PLAYED.

But basically there are 2 things to try to keep in mind. 1. Kishibe is pretty much trying to open a Dimensional Wall and 2. Yuuko Kamishiro has been abducted. It's logical to assume they are both connected somehow. So we need to rescue Yuuko. But we also need to pretty much cause a blackout of all of Tokyo as well to prevent the plan's success. Arata has the blackout covered as he'll get some of his friends to help out to cause the blackout. While us and Nokia rescue Yuuko. We'll be using the Nakano Underpass for this. Because Yuuko was in an underground facility in Roppongi apparently that Kyoko was able to track down. The facility that we found in the Underpass is exactly that. But it'll take quite a while for us to get there... but... there's little choice. So... WE'RE OFF TO RESCUE YUUKO.

However... Kyoko is shocked to discover as we are traversing the Underpass that we've somehow gone a long distance in a short amount of time. It looks like the Digital Shift has caused a space-time rift anomaly shortening the distance which Nokia seems to think works in our favor. I suppose it does... but... still... is this a sign of what's to come?

Also Fei confronts us. Uh oh...

However... Fei does the unexpected. She wants to help and even gives further information on Yuuko. Yuugo was her brother's image and she was using the guise of Yuugo of Team Zaxon to protect EDEN for her family. Looks like Yuuko did quite a lot just for her family... she also helped Fei as well. So she wants to help. Well... the more help the better I suppose. Even Nokia shockingly agrees. AW YEAH. YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURS NOW KAMISHIRO.

This was pretty much where I stopped.

Next time:

It's inevitable that a Royal Knight will attempt to stop us, but, how many? All of them? Well then...

At least we have Omnimon?

Yeah... this still isn't going to end well I'm sure...
