The Origins of Takato
Real World Southern Quadrant Shinjuku
4 years had gone by since the defeat of the D-Reaper, and 4 months since the Parasimon invasion. The Digimon Tamers were in Shinjuku Park. Rika and Henry were playing the Digital Monster Card Game. Takato, Jeri and Alice were watching them, trying to learn how to play better.
(Flashback)
It was about a month after the invasion that Henry was able to work with Shibumi to use some equipment to restore Leomon by having his data extracted from Impmon. He was able to recreate his Digi-Egg. One month after that, the monster makers were able to create a data restoration card for the four Biomerging Tamers to restore Dobermon to Alice. When they swiped it through their D-Arcs, the data reformed into Dobermon's Digi-Egg.
(End Flashback)
The Tamers' Digimon partners were playing together in the park nearby.
All of a sudden, an alarm for a Bio-Emergence sounded on the Tamers' D-Arcs. Henry, Takato and Rika noticed the beeping. The other Tamers received the signal, but they were too far away to get there in time. Kazu and Kenta had to clean up and run errands for their parents, while Ryo was helping his parents with some yard work.
Kazu had to help get his room clean and take out the trash. He and Guardromon had messed it up a little from playing. Kenta went to the market to get some food for his mom. His parents were out shopping at the time. Ryo needed to cut the grass and trim the bushes. His father wanted him to be more responsible since coming back from the Digital World.
Henry and Rika gasped at the sound of their D-Arcs going off. They both groaned. "What is it now? We were having such a nice time," Rika said exasperatedly.
"Umm… Guys, we have a Bio-Emergence nearby," Takato exclaimed nervously.
The other Tamers in the park noticed their D-Arcs going off, as well. Guilmon's pupils became slits and Renamon's fur stood up like needles.
Terriermon noticed something. "Guys, we have an incoming Digimon."
Guilmon started to run towards the Digital Field. "Guilmon!" Takato shouted, and he ran after him. The others in the group ran after Takato and Guilmon.
When the group got to the site of the Digital field they noticed that it was a different color. It was like it had a rainbow effect, and it had many different shades of color.
Real World Eastern Quadrant Odaiba
Meanwhile, in another dimension, the DigiDestined were getting ready for a reunion. They were excited to see each other after such a long time. It had been 4 years since the defeat of MaloMyotismon, and 4 months since the battle against Armageddemon.
At that moment, all 12 were getting ready to set up in Odaiba Park. Everyone was happy to have some time to relax after the battles they had fought. All of a sudden, their Digivices started to beep, indicating a Digimon nearby.
"Oh, come on. Not now. I was hoping to have a reunion with my friends," Davis grumbled.
Some of the other DigiDestined also were disappointed. "Why now? This always happens when we want to have some fun," Ken asked curiously.
"Yeah. It seems almost like the Sovereigns are laughing at us," Kari complained.
T.K. and Cody were wondering why this had happened. Gennai had said that they wouldn't have these problems.
"This is nuts. We try to have a party and this happens," Yolei exclaimed.
The others in the group were also disappointed. They couldn't believe that a Digimon would have the nerve to ruin their party. The whole group put their things in a nearby tree and they headed off to investigate the Digimon signal on their Digivices.
Real World Southern Quadrant Shinjuku
The Tamers finally found the site of the Bio-Emergence. They looked at the fog and were a little surprised about the way the field looked. It wasn't an ordinary Digital field as it gave off a rainbow effect.
"Umm… Guys? What's going on here?" Henry asked, wondering why the Digital field was that particular color.
Takato started to look around. He was curious about the area that they were in.
"Anyone notice something familiar about the area?" Takato asked.
The rest looked around and shook their heads. Rika said, "I don't think we have been here before."
They all headed into the fog to see what was there. The group started to look around cautiously. All of a sudden, they started to fall down a long tunnel, one end of it starting to collapse. The Tamers started to scream as they were falling.
The Digital field and fog dissipated in Shinjuku. The Tamers fell for a while until they exited the tunnel, fell out of the sky where the tunnel had ended, and hit the ground hard. They were unconscious for a couple of minutes.
The other Tamers finally reached the site of the Bio-Emergence, but the field had disappeared about ten minutes before they got there.
Real World Eastern Quadrant Odaiba
The DigiDestined followed the signal. When they got there, they found a group of people picking themselves up off the ground about 5 feet in front of them. They weren't sure who they were, but it seemed that everyone in the new group had a Digimon partner.
The Tamers started to look around to get their bearings and noticed that they weren't in Shinjuku anymore. They noticed different buildings and park areas than they were familiar with in Shinjuku. There were bigger parks and there was more traffic. They also noticed a weird-looking building that had a dome as part of the building. There were dogs barking and birds chirping. It was sunny and there were vendors out in the park selling burgers and hotdogs.
"Who are you guys?" Tai of the DigiDestined asked the group.
Henry was the first to notice the area they were in. "Um, guys? Where are we?" he asked.
Takato looked around, but couldn't figure out where they were. Rika was irritated, and under her breath, she mumbled something along the lines of, "Brainiac," and, "Gogglehead".
Rika noticed a sign nearby and she pointed to it. "Gogglehead, there's your answer. We're in Odaiba Park."
Takato, at hearing Rika mention where they were, gasped in shock. "We can't be in Odaiba. How did we even get here in the first place?"
None of the others knew, and they shrugged their shoulders.
Takato had just started to look around when, suddenly, the Tamers' D-Arcs went off, indicating a Bio-Emergence in the area. Renamon and Terriermon started to sense a Digimon nearby.
"Rika, there's a Digimon near here. It seems very powerful, too," Renamon said.
"Henry, can we go fight him?" Terriermon asked.
Henry nodded his head. Guilmon's pupils became slits and he started to go feral, sensing the Digimon nearby. Guilmon started to run, and Takato took off after him.
"Man, I have got to stop skipping gym class," Takato mumbled whilst breathing hard a little.
The other Tamers ran after Takato once they saw him break off into a run after Guilmon. The DigDestined were dumbfounded by the actions of the new group. They ran after them to find a Digital field nearby.
"It's a Digital field, but how? I thought they only appear where we live," Henry asked.
Davis and Tai were shocked to see a foggy area before them; they didn't know what it was.
"What is that?" both of them asked.
The Digital field dispersed and a Gigadramon appeared. It looked like he was ready for a fight. He had some scratches all over his claws and wings, indicating that he had been in a previous fight. Takato and Guilmon got ready to fight. Takato started to look through his cards. Rika and Renamon came up behind Takato and Guilmon, out of breath from running after them.
Rika caught her breath. "Renamon, are you ready to fight?" she asked.
"Always," Renamon said.
The other Tamers in the group were a little winded. They caught their breath as well. Henry, Jeri and Alice decided to keep everyone else from getting hurt by having their Digimon do crowd control. Henry swiped a card through his D-Arc.
"Digi-Modify. Digivolution, activate," Henry said.
His flesh started to peel itself off, leaving behind a digital frame before turning into a DigiEgg, and as the egg started to hatch, Terriermon was no more. He gained height and some guns on his arms, he had a belt with bullets in it hanging diagonally across his torso, and he wore a pair of blue pants.
Terriermon Digivolved to Gargomon.
Jeri and Alice swiped some Speed and Power cards through their D-Arcs just to make sure that they would have some back-up in case things got hairy.
Takato and Rika looked at Gigadramon. They knew they would need some Ultimate Level power in this fight. Both of them took a card out from their cardholders.
Let's try to protect everyone! they both thought
The cards turned blue and they swiped them through their D-Arcs.
"Digi-Modify, Matrix Digivolution, activate!" Takato and Rika shouted.
A red pyramid spun and then flew towards Guilmon, entering him. Then, his flesh started to peel off, leaving a digital frame, and then he started to change. He grew height-wise and his arms gained blades, armor with a Digital Hazard symbol in the center developing on his chest, which covered his red skin with black markings, and a jetpack appearing on his back. An armored mask also appeared on his face.
Guilmon had Digivolved, becoming WarGrowlmon.
A red pyramid spun and then flew towards Renamon, entering her. Then, her flesh started to peel off, leaving a digital frame, and she started to change.
It was a humanoid, blue-eyed fox with yellow fur, a purple pattern on its forehead, and two whisker-like lines on either cheek. The tips of its ears and tail were a white colour. A large black tate-eboshi sat between its ears, purple cloth hanging down from the hat and falling around the back of its neck.
Two large shoulder plates bearing the symbol of yin and yang being approached by red foxfire sat high upon its shoulders. Its long white robes with golden trimming, bearing the yin-yang symbol on its chest and the golden calligraphic character for 'Truth', which were held to its waist by a black belt with a silver rectangular buckle, covered a cream shirt akin to an untraditional jōe proper of sorts with very long sleeves which ended in a triangular white and red pattern, and a pair of purple sashinuki which was tied to its large three-clawed feet with a golden fastener.
Renamon Digivolved, becoming Taomon.
Gigadramon, seeing the Tamers' Digimon, started to attack them using an attack called 'Guilty Wind'.
The attack that Gigadramon used whipped the wind up into a cyclone and fired dust particles towards Wargrowlmon and Taomon.
"Atomic Blaster!" Wargrowlmon shouted, and he fired two laser beams from his chest at Gigadramon. One of the laser beams hit Gigadramon on the shoulder.
The attack did have some effect on Gigadramon, but not enough to hurt him seriously. Taomon shouted out, "Talisman Spell!" Her attack was in the form of a talisman and it launched some spiritual energy towards Gigadramon. Her attack hit him, but it wasn't very effective, either. Gigadramon was able to use one of his own attacks to lessen the hit.
Gigadramon dodged both of the next attacks fired at him by both Wargrowlmon and Taomon. He counterattacked with Genocide Gear. The attack used mechanical gears to try to scratch both of them. Wargrowlmon and Taomon were badly scratched by the gears hitting them from all sides.
Takato got tired of playing around and swiped two cards "Double Digi-Modify. Attack Power Enhancement and Targeting, activate."
Wargrowlmon used a powered-up version of his Atomic Blaster. Gigadramon was wounded by the attack. His arms were badly damaged and he couldn't move his other shoulder. He tried to hit Wargrowlmon with another of his attacks to hurt him.
"Gigabyte Wing!" Gigadramon shouted, preparing to use an attack which would allow him to use his wings to slice his opponents to ribbons, but before he could, Wargrowlmon hit him with another Atomic Blaster completely deleting him.
After the fight was over, Wargrowlmon and Taomon De-digivolved, obviously hurt. Renamon wasn't hurt as much as she only had a small scratch on her, but Guilmon was a little worse. He had a bad scratch and some bruising all over.
Takato and Rika healed them up using the Mega Heal card. The rest of the Tamers went over to Takato and Rika after making sure that everyone else was safe. The Tamers were looking around to find out where they were, and it seemed they were not anywhere familiar.
Takato turned around to talk with Henry, and all of a sudden started to become nervous upon seeing the DigDestined there. The DigDestined walked up behind the Tamers during the battle. They couldn't believe what they had just seen with their own eyes. Four Digimon, three with DigiDestined, the other an enemy battling at Ultimate Level.
"Who are you guys, and what are you doing here?" Tai, being the leader, asked Henry.
Unknown Dimension
Meanwhile, in another dimension, a Digimon of great power was plotting something to obtain the greatest power in any world, digital or human. "Master Arkadimon, isn't it soon time to kidnap the boy who has the Hazard?" one of his servants asked.
Arkadimon smirked at him and said, "Yes. Very soon, it will be time to retrieve the boy who has the Hazard power."
Real World Eastern Quadrant Odaiba
Rika turned to look at whoever had spoken and she scowled upon seeing Tai and the rest of the DigiDestined there. Rika thought that it was a group who were cosplaying, and she was very mad about it.
"Who do you think you, are cosplaying like that?! This isn't a convention, you know," Rika asked, annoyed.
Tai was taken aback by her attitude. He wasn't sure what to say to her. Rika was angry since she had recently been to a card game tournament and she saw people cosplaying as their favorite anime characters, and she had thought that the DigiDestined had taken it too far.
The other Tamers turned to look at the DigDestined, and they started to get nervous around them. Here was a group who were supposed to be cartoons in their world. The DigDestined looked at the rest of the Tamers and wondered who they were and where they came from.
"Who are these people, and where do they come from? Must be pretty interesting where they live," Tai wondered.
Davis was curious, and as he looked at the group, he noticed the goggle-wearing boy. "Wow. It must be pretty neat having a Digivice that allows you to help out your partner in battle," Davis said.
Henry noticed that Takato looking nervous, and he asked, "Takato, what's wrong?"
Takato pointed at a group of people and said, "Um… Henry, don't look now, but I think we have company."
All of a sudden, the Tamers' D-Arcs went off again, and Guilmon started to run towards the Bio-Emergence.
"Guilmon!" Takato yelled, and ran off after him. Rika and Renamon took off after Takato, as well.
The Tamers and DigDestined came to a halt outside another Digital field. Both groups were wondering what Digimon would emerge. The DigDestined, being new to this sort of phenomena, were very worried by it. They had never experienced a fog appearing before a Digimon would appear, so it was very weird for them.
Takato, Rika, Henry and Jeri started to notice how big the field was. Alice looked shocked, as well. She had never seen a Digital field that big before. She didn't understand why the field was so big. They got ready to use their D-Arcs to find out what Digimon they were going to be fighting, and also to see if they needed to Biomerge with their partners.
The Digital field started to dissipate, and out stepped a DarkReapermon. He looked like a normal Reapermon, except he had some unusual parts added to his arms. On one, he had an extra scythe, and the other had an extra chain. His color was also slightly altered, being somewhat darker.
The whole group was speechless, to say the least. "Take good care of everyone," Takato said to Jeri and Alice.
Takato turned to Henry and Rika. "Guys, it's time to Biomerge."
"Biomerge, activate!" the three shouted.
Takato's body turned into data and Guilmon's body started to blow data apart. Guilmon went through his Digivolutions as his arms and legs were reshaped and his torso was, as well. He started to develop armor over his body and a face mask appeared as Takato was absorbed by Gallantmon, who shouting his name, holding a lance and a shield as a cape fluttered on his back.
Rika's body also turned into data and Renamon put her hands out in the air which rippled as if she were surrounded by water. Her whole body grew taller and her hands and feet became armored as a bodysuit appeared on her torso. She went through her Digivolutions as a headpiece and more armor attached to her body. She flipped and landed with her one hand out, grasping a staff with fox-like symbols on it, her tail swishing. Rika was absorbed by the Digimon just as the Digimon shouted her name—Sakuyamon.
Henry's body turned into data and Terriermon's body started to blow data apart, much like Guilmon. Terriermon started to go through his Digivolutions as his arms and legs reformed, his arms gaining gun-like barrels in place of hands and his legs becoming coating in armor and growing taller. He grew in size and became as tall as a skyscraper. Huge missile launchers formed on his shoulders and a jet pack appeared on his back as his head became dog-like. Henry was absorbed by the Digimon as the creature called its name MegaGargomon.
They became Gallantmon, Sakuyamon, and MegaGargomon.
Jeri and Alice looked to their partners. "Let's try to help them out," Jeri said.
"We should try to keep the others out of harm's way," said Alice.
Both girls decided to get into the fight. Jeri and Alice got their cards out and turned them into blue cards. They both looked at their partners.
"Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivolution, activate!" both girls shouted.
Both girls' Digimon Digivolved to Ultimate Level.
Leomon's body developed armor over his torso, arms and legs. Turbines appeared around its arms and legs, spinning to produce energy for his attacks. He also received some armor on his forehead. His armor was a grayish color which contrasted with his chestnut fur.
Dobermon's body became taller and he developed armor on his shoulders with more heads facing away from the main one. Sharp claws grew on his feet and his tail gained a coat of armor to fend off stray attacks, and also to use in some of his own attacks. His skin, which could be seen on the backs of his limbs and his lower jaw, was a dull reddish-pink.
GrapLeomon and Cerberumon stood in front of the DigiDestined as well as their partners so that they wouldn't be harmed.
DarkReapermon started to use an attack called DarkShadowDuster which created a shadow tornado around it which was designed to hit the enemy multiple times with dark energy.
The attack narrowly missed Gallantmon and Sakuyamon who used her Crystal Sphere to shield herself. MegaGargomon flew up into the air to avoid the attack. He then fired some missiles off at DarkReapermon. DarkReapermon dodged the attack.
Gallantmon started to use Lightning Joust to soften DarkReapermon up. Gallantmon fired a burst of lightning from his lance at DarkReapermon, which was mostly able to dodge the attack, but was hurt by it somewhat. His arm was singed and scratched a little.
DarkReapermon used another attack called DarkGrimSoulSlasher, which was designed to hit them with a dark shadow-like energy and make them feel as if their soul was been burned whilst the attack sliced them to ribbons. He used his slicer arm to slash at them many times.
Gallantmon used his Aegis shield to deflect the attack. Sakuyamon used her Crystal Sphere attack to shield herself from any damage that the attack might do. MegaGargomon fired off his big missiles, hoping to hurt DarkReapermon.
Takato, Rika and Henry started to use their most powerful attacks to wear DarkReapermon down. Gallantmon started to use his Shield of the Just attack, and he fired a beam of red energy at DarkReapermon.
Sakuyamon used her Spirit Strike attack. She tried to use her spirit foxes to distract DarkReapermon, preventing him from counterattacking. She wanted to give Gallantmon enough time to fire off another attack.
MegaGargomon started to fire multiple volleys of his Mega Barrage. He wanted to really slow DarkReapermon down. The multiple missiles didn't do much damage, but they did annoy DarkReapermon.
DarkReapermon was able to get a couple of hits on Gallantmon. He fell down to his knees, exhausted.
DarkReapermon started to laugh and mocked Gallantmon. "Is that all you've got?"
Somehow, Gallantmon managed to get back up.
"I will never give up!" Takato said.
Gallantmon mode changed to Gallantmon Crimson Mode before everyone's eyes. DarkReapermon didn't know what was happening, but this new mode didn't seem to concern him. Gallantmon started to use Crimson Light. He started to fire crimson energy from his spear at DarkReapermon. Seeing this, MegaGargomon added his Giant Missile attack to help out. He fired off another pair of his big shoulder missiles, hoping to really hurt DarkReapermon.
Sakuyamon used Spirit Strike and Crystal Sphere to keep DarkReapermon from doing any more damage.
Gallantmon used Final Justice. He was able to use his sword to slash at DarkReapermon. The energized sword did a lot of damage to DarkReapermon.
DarkReapermon started to lose some data, and it kept getting worse with each attack by Gallantmon C.M. DarkReapermon tried to keep attacking, but it was no use. He was really worn out and fell to his knees, and then to the ground.
Gallantmon C.M. deleted DarkReapermon after a hard-fought battle.
Once the battle was over, Takato, Rika and Henry unmerged. All of the DigiDestined looked on in shock with their jaws hanging open. The DigiDestined didn't fight due to seeing how powerful and different the enemy was.
"They merged… But, how? That's not possible," Davis said, shaking his head.
The rest of the DigiDestined were just curious as to how this could happen. Tai was interested in the Digi-Modifying part.
Jeri and Alice came running up to Henry, Rika and Takato. "Are you all OK?" Jeri asked
"Do you need any medical assistance?" Alice queried.
Henry nodded his head. "Yes. We're all fine. We might need to relax, but other than that, we're good."
The DigiDestined walked up to Henry, Rika and Takato. "Who are you guys, and can you explain what's going on here?" Kari asked.
