Digimon: The Dark Saga

It had been almost 2 years since the tamers had defeated the D-Reaper. Takato, Rika, and Henry had just started to wonder what their partners had been up to since they had to go back to the digital world. Ryo was wondering if Cyberdramon had decided to stop fighting so much. Jeri didn't have much to wonder. The only thing on her mind was if she'd ever get to see Leomon again.

"Hey, Rika! Over here!" Ryo yelled from under a tree. As she approached, he smirked at the fact that she was actually coming over.

"What's up?" Rika said, smirking slightly as she noticed his smirk. "Looks like you've seen something amusing."

I hope she doesn't suspect anything. "I was just wondering if, uh, you'd, wanna get something to eat later." Oh, yea. Real smooth Ryo. Real smooth.

"I, uh, can't. I've got plans." Rika was stunned at him asking her out.

Great. I blew it. Now she'll never want to go out with me. "Well, I'll see ya later then." Ryo walked off, embarrassed about what just happened.

Did what I think just happen actually happen? Rika was still shocked at what Ryo had just done. Ryo asked me out. No. It must have been a dream. It must have. Rika tried to convince herself that it was only a dream, but she just couldn't do it.

Takato had been staring blankly at his lunch for almost half an hour when suddenly a voice broke into his silence.

"Takato? Are you alright?" Jeri seemed worried about him. He hadn't said anything all day to her.

"Huh. Oh, hi Jeri. I'm fine." But Jeri knew that something was bothering Takato. She had known him long enough to know when something was wrong.

"Takato, I can tell when something is bothering you. Now, please, just tell me what it is."

"Well, I had this strange dream where Guilmon had turned into Megidramon again and was going on a rampage through the digital world. He had killed Renamon and the others and had loaded their data. I'm worried that it might be some sort of message from Guilmon telling me that we are needed in the digital world again."

"I had the same dream, except it was with Terriermon who had digivolved to Blackmegagargomon and was destroying everything in sight." Henry had been listening in on the conversation and finally had to join in.

"Then it has to mean something." Takato went from concerned to worried when he learned about Henrys similar dream.

"Let's just hope we're wrong." Henry was skeptical about them being wrong, but hoping had never hurt any in the past.

Guilmon and the others had been fighting for quite some time. Ever since the appearance of the digimon who called himself the 'Digimon Overlord'. None of them had ever seen this Digimon, but they had been fighting the Digimon this overlord had put under his control.

"Pyro Blaster!" Growlmon had just digivolved from Guilmon to better assist in the battle. Renamon and Terriermon had also digivolved.

"Dragon wheel!" "Gargo Laser!" All their attacks were focused on a symbol on Metalgreymons chest. This symbol is what was controlling the digimon. The symbol was an 'O' that looked like a letter straight out of a medieval story. It was glowing an eerie blue.

"It's just no use! He's too strong for us to defeat! We must retreat!" Kyuubimon hated to admit this, but without their partners they didn't have nearly the power they needed.

And so they retreated. Unfortunately, there were other overlord agents after them. They didn't have long to regroup with Cyberdramon. By the time they had found him the agents of the overlord had once again found them, and they were in battle again.

Back at the school, the tamers had met under the tree that Ryo had been at. Ryo was there, too, but he couldn't look Rika in the eyes after what had happened earlier. All of a sudden, their D-Arcs started to beep. Then a 3D picture of each of their partners showed up on the screen.

"Growlmon! What's wrong?" Takato skipped the 'I'm glad to see you's' and went straight to business.

"There's some strange digimon here that's controlling the other digimon. They're after us, Takato! We need your help!" All the other holographic digimon nodded.

"Right! We'll be there as soon as we can!" Henry was ready for a fight. He'd since lost his pacifist side and had decided that sometimes fighting was necessary.

At that point they all went to their homes to gather supplies. Takato got a weeks worth of bread. Jeri got all the supplies they would need for shelter. Rika and Henry took care of their parents concern with them leaving again. And then they were ready.

"Well, it looks like we're ready to go." Takato was anxious to get to the digital world. "I just wish Kazu and Kenta were here to go with us." Kazu and Kenta had previously moved, Kazu to America, Kenta to Europe.

"I'm ready for a little excitement." Ryo said with a slight smirk. He glanced over at Rika, who was staring straight, trying hard to avoid eye contact with Ryo. Could it be? Could she feel the same about me as I do her?

And so they were off on their next great adventure. What will it hold for them? Keep watching to find out.
