Disclaimer: This story is cowritten with drager and we don't own digimon.
"Man what has been up with Ryo," Takato says to himself, "The last few months he hasn't been acting like himself." He looks up in time to see a Digi-gnome flying right past his face, "Could this mean," he says as he gets a huge smile on his face and starts running to where he kept Guilmon when he first got him.
Takato's smile gets even bigger as he crawls to the portal before him, "Maybe I can keep my promise." He reached for the portal only to watch as the world faded around him. After a moment of darkness, he found himself in a large courtyard. He watches as many others faded in. Soon the courtyard is filled with people.
"Greetings," filled the room. Takato looks up at a balcony; there stood a man in a golden robe. He spread his white wings, "Partner's to digimon I brought you here to find the best of you. You're partner's are waiting for you at your rooms; there you will find the rules."
The man shaped digimon slowly moves into the palace, "Soon," he mutters, "a few worlds will be ready."
As Takato starts walking to the area he assumes his room is, he notices Jeri looking around confused as to why she is there when her partner was deleted. "Huh, hey Jeri what are you doing here," Takato walks up to her and asks.
"I don't know, last thing I remember I was getting on the subway to go home and then I'm here in this place," Jeri responds really confused.
"Maybe if we find our rooms we will find out why we are here and what that digimon was talking about," Takato says as they start walking again to find where their rooms are.
The rest of the way to one of the areas where the rooms are kept they really didn't say anything to each other. As they got closer to the rooms Takato's d-arc started beeping, he took it out to see it pointing straight forward and slightly right.
Then to their total shock and surprise Izzy walks up from behind them and asks, "Hey what kind of digivice is that, I haven't seen that kind of model before. Do you mind if I take a look at it for a moment," he says grabbing it out of Takato's hand after no response for a few minutes.
Takato and Jeri just stood there staring at him, and then were jolted back to reality when they heard a similar beeping coming from Jeri's pocket. She pulls out her d-arc. She blinks at the device that she had left on her desk. She looks at the screen finding the static is replaced by a ring with an arrow. "It can't be," she says running off.
'I can't believe it,' Takato thinks, 'one of the Digi-destined is right in front of me in flesh and blood, this is so cool.' He is about to say something when his idol walks up with Matt and Sora next to him.
"Hey Izzy what are you up to now," Tai asks, "Bugging some more of the people here or just trying to make new friends."
"I can't believe it," Takato starts mumbling to himself, "Tai's standing right in fro…" he then faints from seeing most of the older group of Odaiba Digi-destined standing in front of him.
"What's wrong with that kid," Matt says motioning to the unconscious form of Takato, "It's not like we're famous or something."
"Ha ha very funny Matt," Tai says, "The rest of us may not be famous but you're band is one of the most popular in Japan."
"Yeah you can say that again," Izzy mumbles, "Because of his band every time I get a girlfriend it turns out they're just using me to get to him since I'm one of his best friends."
"Hey don't worry Izzy you'll find someone who truly likes you for who you are," Sora says, "What's that you're looking at and where did you get it from?"
"I kind of borrowed it from this kid here," Izzy says turning to where Takato was standing, "Where did he go?"
"He's still there," Sora says, "Just look down a little more; he fainted just a moment ago."
"Maybe he's just overwhelmed from seeing Matt," Tai says jokingly, "Matt is a rock star after all."
"What I want to know," Sora says, "Is why does he have a pair of goggles on that looks similar to Davis'?"
"If you want to know so badly then wake him up," Matt says sarcastically, "I mean it seems like the smart thing to do."
Takato then starts to wake up and mumbles, "I must have been dreaming or something, I could have sworn I just saw the older Digi-destined," the moment he opens his eyes he screams in surprise from seeing that he wasn't dreaming after all.
"Hey what's the matter kid," Tai says, "Your acting like we're TV stars or something, or are you just excited to see Matt. By the way what's your name and why the goggles?"
'I can't believe I'm actually talking to Tai in person,' Takato thinks, 'Kazu and Kenta would be so jealous if they found out.' He then says nervously, "M-my n-n-name is T-t-t-takato."
"It's nice to meet you," Sora says, "You're actually kind of cute," she says causing him to blush in five different shades of red.
"Looks like you might have some competition Tai," Matt says sarcastically, "Better watch out or he might steal Sora from you like I did for awhile."
"Stop it Matt," Sora says, "I love Tai and besides Takato here is a bit too young for my taste. You never answered us as to why you're wearing the goggles Takato," Sora said.
"Oh heh," Takato says nervously, "I'm kind of the unofficial leader of my group of friends."
"How the heck am I supposed to hook this Digi-vice up to my laptop," Izzy says still trying to figure it out, he then turns it upside down to find a usb port type connector on it, "This will help," he says as he connects a usb wire to it and then to his laptop. "Now let's see what information this holds."
"No wait I don't think that's a good idea," Takato says.
"Why do you say that Takato," Tai asks, "It's not like it is going to overload Izzy's computer and fry is it."
"I don't know," Takato says.
"Hmm this is interesting," Izzy says, "It says his partner is a Guilmon, but I have never heard of that kind of digimon before."
"Can I have my Digivice back," Takato asks, "I need to go find my other friends to see what's actually going on here."
"Give me a few more minutes," Izzy says, "Then you can have your Digivice back."
"Izzy just let him have it back," Tai says, "Or do I have to take it from you."
"Calm down Tai I said I would give it back to him," Izzy says, "I just want to know all of the digimon he has faced," after he downloaded some of the information on the digimon Takato and his friends faced; he then started to panic as the digivice starts accessing files and moving them around and deleting others, "What's this thing doing to my laptop," he asks as he pulls the usb cable out of it, but not before his laptop starts smoking.
"I told you it wouldn't be a good idea," Takato says, "Because I have never tried hooking it up to a computer before," he then thinks, 'That was close, at least he wasn't able to get any information on our digimon any higher then the rookie form or on the D-reaper.'
"Looks like you laptop got fried Izzy," Tai says, "If you had only listened and given Takato his digivice back before it happened."
"Actually my laptop is fine," Izzy says, "Except for the usb ports that I had it hooked up to."
"That's a good thing," Matt says, "With out it you wouldn't know what to do to help the rest of us."
Izzy then hands Takato his digivice, "Sorry about snatching it out of your hand," he says, "But you seemed to be in shock when you first saw me and didn't respond when I asked if I could take a look at it."
"Not a problem," Takato says trying to keep from bouncing around from excitement, "I just wasn't sure how it would react to having some of its information downloaded from it."
"By the way where did you get this digimon called Guilmon," Izzy asks, "I have never heard of him before know, and one of your friends must be something really special to get one of the rarest kinds of digimon."
"What do you mean," Takato asks.
"Well from what Gennai told me," Izzy says, "Renamon's are very rare and only seen in the southern quadrant usually and if you're lucky you might run into one."
"Well with Guilmon," Takato says, "I think I kind of created him or the sovereigns created him for me."
"You can't just create your own digimon out of thin air you know," Tai says, "It just isn't possible."
"Tai did you forget that Willis created one on his computer that got infected with all kinds of computer viruses," Izzy says, "Which resulted in the creation of Diaboramon, who almost destroyed our home with that missile he launched at us."
"No I didn't forget about that," Tai says.
"So why do you say you think you created him," Sora asks.
"Well I decided to draw up a digimon of my very own," Takato says, "But at first I couldn't think of a name for him."
"That's interesting," Izzy says, "Do you happen to have any of the drawings you made of him."
"No I left them in my room," Takato says sticking his hands in his pocket, 'Huh what's this,' he thinks, 'it wasn't in there earlier.' He then pulls out what he finds in his pocket only to stare in surprise at his drawings of Guilmon, "I guess I do have them after all," he says, "But I know I left this at home this morning."
"Mind if I see them," Izzy asks, "I'll give them right back afterwards."
"Ok I guess," Takato says handing them to Izzy, 'Good thing I did the drawings of his other forms in a different notepad,' he thinks.
"Not bad," Sora says looking over Izzy's shoulder, "You're a pretty good artist."
"Yeah I guess," Takato says being modest, "I drew those up four years ago."
"Huh that doesn't make since why we never ran into you before now then," Tai says, "And your being to modest."
"I'm not trying to be nosy or anything," Takato says, "But what was the last digimon you faced out of curiosity?"
"Why it was Malomyotismon of course," Tai says, "Weren't you at the last battle against him three and a half years ago?"
Takato starts biting his lip, 'If they only faced Malomyotismon up to this point,' he thinks, 'Oh crap if Armgeddimon appears while their here, then their world is as good as gone.' He then says, "Um guys I have to go see if I can find my other friends be seeing you around," he then runs off.
"What a strange boy," Mimi says, "Takato seemed to act as if he already knows all of us and we are stars of some kind, and I mean all of us Tai before you make another one of your wise cracks."
Meanwhile Jeri comes to one of the doors, as she tries to open it she realizes it's locked. On the wall near her hand she finds a panel with the words 'Hand Print' labeled above it. She places her hand on the panel and the door unlocks itself and swings open.
In the room she finds a man shaped lion. "Leomon," she yells running to the digimon as tears rolls down her face. "I missed you."
"I have missed you too," Leomon says.
"How's it your alive when the others and I watched Beelzamon delete you," Jeri asks, "Then absorbed your data to become stronger."
"Well you can thank the sovereigns for that," Leomon says, "From what they told me is they used a method of there's to extract as much of my data they could from his body with out killing him in the process."
"Well I guess I'll thank them the next time I see them," Jeri says, "But if they couldn't extract all of your data as you say, then how is it your alive?"
"The thing is they took a digi-egg and put my data into it," Leomon says.
"You mean they put your data into a digi-egg that already existed," Jeri asks, "But the digimon never got a chance to experience its own life then."
"And it never would have," Leomon says, "It seemed normal in every way except it was missing some core components it needed to survive when it would have hatched."
"So you're saying that when it hatched it would have just burst into data," Jeri says, "Least that is what the sovereigns told you."
"Actually even though I was just an orb of data at the time they got the Digi-egg," Leomon says, "I was still aware of what was going on around me and I sensed the egg had no life with in it."
Meanwhile Takato sat on a bench staring at the violet sky thinking about how he just ran into the digi-destined, "Hey gogglehead," Takato turned to see Rika come running to him. "I'm glad that there's someone else I know. That Ryo will not leave me alone."
"I met the Digi-destined's," Takato said, "They spread out to learn what they can. I chose to look for you and the others."
"Doing a good job," Rika said.
"Hey look its Henry," Takato said pointing, "and his sister too."
Rika turned to look at Henry and Suzy and muttered, "Why would he bring Henry's sister, she doesn't know much about being a tamer."
"Hey Henry, Suzy over here," Takato yelled to get their attention.
Henry and Suzy then turned to where they heard their names being called from to see Takato standing next to Rika waving them over. "Hi Takato, Rika, where are we last I remember Suzy and I here were on my computer and then next I know we are standing here watching other people appear out of thin air," Henry says a little bewildered and worried about how his parents will act when they find them missing.
Takato then says, "Oh that reminds me I ran into Jeri a while ago, she ran off after we ran into Izzy and a few others of the Odaiba Digi-destined. The last thing I saw was her pulling out her D-arc and staring at it for a moment and then run off before I could even ask her what was wrong."
Rika is about to respond when they hear Kazu and Kenta screaming something that they can barely hear. Rika then rolls her eyes and says, "Oh great, why did those two morons have to be brought here with the rest of us."
Henry ignores her comment and states, "What do you mean Jeri is here, her partner Leomon got deleted while we were in the digital world."
"When I caught a glimpse of her D-arc I think I saw the static on the screen replaced with the compass and arrow that we use to locate our digimon when we get separated from them," Takato explains to the others.
Henry's eyes widen and he says, "Did you try to follow her to see what it was leading her to or to where for that matter."
Takato then rubs the back of his head and says, "Uh, she kind of got out of my sight before I could even start following her to wherever she was going. Also Izzy kind of grabbed my D-arc out of my hand and started analyzing it as she ran off, so I couldn't leave it behind and end up not being able to find Izzy to get it back."
Rika gives Takato her death glare and states, "So gogglehead you let Jeri run off on her own and Izzy from the Digi-destined was able to scan your D-arc also, you IDIOT do you know how much that can screw up their relationships with their own digimon," she yells in his face.
Takato starts backing away and says, "Calm down Rika, his computer wasn't really even able to scan it, all it was able to get out of my D-arc was all of the digimon we have ran into excluding the d-reaper and the rookie forms of our partners before it nearly shorted out his laptop."
"How about we find our rooms that he talked about and see what we can learn," Henry says, "I'm sure we can find Jeri sooner or later but at the moment we need to learn what is going on around here."
"Fine," Rika says.
"Good we can start by using the information panel," Henry says walking to a panel and puts his hand on it. Soon the screen turns on. "Let's see, most of us are on the north side but for you and Rika. You two are on the south side among the Digi-destined's. We can meet back here later."
As Takato and Rika made their way to their rooms, Ryo stops before them. "There you are Rika," Ryo says, "After you got lost, I started searching for you."
"It seems I didn't lose you good enough," Rika says, "Next time I'll try even harder."
"That's no way to talk to your boyfriend," Ryo says.
"I'm not your girlfriend," Rika yells, "and I never needed you to save me."
Ryo then grabs Rika and says, "If I can't convince you to be my girlfriend then I will find a way to force you to be."
Takato seeing this happen tells Ryo, "Ryo, leave Rika alone if she doesn't want to be your girlfriend then she doesn't have to be."
"Stay out of this Takato, this has nothing to do with you so run along to your room and stop getting in my way," Ryo says to Takato and shoves him away.
Rika seeing a chance while Ryo is distracted punches him in the face so hard that he lets go of her as he falls to the ground from the surprise punch Rika says, "I told you to leave me alone or next time I will kick you in your family jewels," she then kicks him in the head hard enough to knock him out.
Takato seeing this says, "You know Rika you didn't have to kick him in the head and knock him out," he says as they started walking towards their rooms again.
Rika just looks at Takato and says, "If I hadn't he would have kept bugging me all day and followed us to my room, and also he has been being a real asshole the past six months by telling everyone he knows that I'm his girlfriend."
"That must be really annoying," Takato says to her.
"You have no clue, he has even been having some of his friends following me everywhere I go," Rika states really annoyed.
Takato is about to say something when his and Rika's D-arcs start beeping and the compass and arrow appears on D-arcs pointing them in the direction they need to go.
"I guess we are getting close to our rooms if our D-arcs are pointing us straight ahead and slightly up too," Takato says stating the obvious.
Rika rolls her eyes and says, "I can see that gogglehead, why is it you always have to state the obvious."
"Sorry, force of habit I guess," Takato says embarrassed.
"It wouldn't be you if you didn't state the obvious most of the time," she says to try to make him feel less embarrassed.
As they continued walking at a certain point the arrows on their D-arcs started pointing straight up, "I guess our partners are at least one floor above us at the moment," Takato said as he looked around to see if he could see any stairs from where they are standing.
They walk up the steps and found a long narrow before them. "I guess we walk across," Takato says. He looks down to see a wide river hundreds of feet below.
On the other side, there was a courtyard with the walls each with a door and touch panel. A teen with large spiky hair came from the far left room. "Hey," the teen says, "I'm Tai and this is Agumon."
"I'm Takato and this is Rika."
"Nice to meet you again," Tai says placing a hand behind his head. "Well I need to meet some friends." Tai says as he and Agumon walk by them.
"Let's see what our rooms look like," Takato says placing his hand on the panel. The moment he enters the doorway, he's jumped.
"Takatomon," Guilmon smiles as he rested on his tamer, "I'm glad to see you."
"I'm not a mon and could you get off me," Takato says.
"Sure," Guilmon says.
"Hey Gogglehead," Rika says with a human shaped fox digimon near her. "Let's look at the rules." Takato nods and follows the red head into her room. The room was a small room with a sliding door leading to a balcony, and a couch facing a screen on the wall. Rika places her hand on a panel next to the screen and after pressing a few buttons on the screen. A video starts, "Welcome digi-hero," a voice from the screen says, "This tournament is to find out who is the best. To determine this there will be a series of one on one challenges." The screen shows two digimon fighting and then changes to two other digimon climbing a wall. "The winner gets one of the loser's digimon. If the loser runs out of digimon, he/she then will be turned into a digimon. Then they have two days to find a partner or be taken away. Champion is the highest level allowed for the fights. I preserved the right to add or change the rules of the battle. And anyone who refuses to battle will be automatically turned to a digimon. Also your room and three meals are provided. If you want more, then you must earn the digi-chips by performing tasks listed at the local lounge."
"Oh yes I almost forgot, the data of the digimon that are destroyed will be collected with a special mechanism that will recompile it into the digi-egg form of the digimon and in order to get that digimon you will have to buy it from the store at the lounge using digi-chips. Also you can buy snacks and digimon cards at the store."
"What the hell does he mean that the loser if they have no digimon left will be turned into a digimon themselves and have two days to find a partner or be taken away," Rika yells at no one in particular.
Takato then says, "This isn't good, if we loose our first fights we will automatically be turned into digimon."
Rika then turns her anger towards Takato and states, "Oh shut up gogglehead don't you think that I realize that, some people here already have two digimon to start with so they're the lucky ones. At least if our digimon are destroyed their data will be reformatted and returned to their digi-egg states."
"Yeah that seems to be the only good thing about it," Guilmon whines.
"Don't worry Rika, we can do this," Renamon says to Rika.
"I'm just worried who we are going to be facing in our first fights," Takato states fearing that he might have to face one of his friends first.
"Come on you two, snap out of it," Renamon says to try to get them to stop moping around.
Takato then says, "That's right we told our friends that we would meet them back in the courtyard that we arrived in."
"Alright, lets get going we think about what we are going to do and try to find out who we are facing in our first matches," Rika says to all of them in the room.
"At least that digimon is being nice enough to give us rooms and three meals a day," Takato says to everyone.
"Nice," Rika says as the four started to walk over the bridge, "Being kidnapped is not nice."
Meanwhile Tai walking up to his group, "Sorry, I'm late," he says, "My room is a bit hidden away. So what were you talking about?"
"What we should do next," Izzy says.
"And," Tai asks.
"We'll play along as we gather information," Matt says.
"We may need some help," Tai says, "Ask around and get to know some others. I'll try my neighbors."
Matt then says, "What I don't get is how he is going to change the losers of the battles without digimon into digimon."
"It's simple Matt as I had told you before which some of you forgot is that we are already digital data as long as we are in the digital world, it wouldn't be hard at all for him to alter our data to change us when we loose," Izzy says to all of them forgetting to explain it to where they understand what he's saying.
Tai then says confused, "Izzy cut the computer talk crap and explain it in simple English; most of us don't understand that."
Izzy then says, "Sorry let me try to put it this way, Tai remember when I told you during our first trip to the digital world that our bodies were still in the real world at camp and we were just digital copies of what we were then." He starts to tell the others, "Well when we came back from the digital world we still remembered everything that happened to us their, but when we went into the digital world the second time and we were pulled up by that beam of light that all of our digivices generated then. It turned us to a form of data when we entered the digital world. So when ever we enter the digital world that way or through a computer we become digital data."
Meanwhile Takato and Rika meet up with their friends and pass by Ryo who is still unconscious.
"Hey guys, you find Jeri yet," Takato asked.
"I located where her rooms is, but she wouldn't come out or let us in, she says she wants to catch up with an old friend and we would find out whom later," Henry says to Takato and Rika.
"Hey chumly, how's it going haven't seen you for a few weeks," Kazu and Kenta crowded Takato.
"Oh great the clones are here," Rika says to no one in particular.
Kenta looks towards Rika and sees behind her about twenty feet away Ryo lying unconscious on the ground, "Hey what happened to Ryo, why is he just lying over there," he asks.
"He wouldn't stop bugging me so I knocked him out, and unless you want to join him don't bother me," Rika says to Kazu and Kenta.
Takato is about to say something when they hear a voice coming from the speakers in the area saying that the first meal will be served in one hour, "So what were the two of you screaming about earlier," he asks, "And what were you doing before you got here?"
"What do you mean Takato," Kenta asks, "Kazu called me telling me that you called him and said the portal to the digital world had reopened," he said.
"I never called Kazu," Takato says, "When I saw the portal was back, the first thing I did was going into it and found myself standing in the lobby."
"If you didn't call us then who did," Kazu asks, "It sounded like you and he said he was you too. Wait you mean one minute you were entering the portal and next you were standing in the lobby."
"Yeah I just said that," Takato says.
"That's not fair," Kenta whines, "When Kazu and I entered the portal we ended up in that same space between the digital world and real world as we last time we entered it for a few seconds and then before we could even think we were falling towards this place."
"So that's why we heard you two screaming," Rika says, "I was hoping that something was eating the two of you."
"I would feel sorrier for the creature," Takato says, "Because of all the indigestion they would give it."
"Chumly I would have to agree with…..hey that's messed up," Kazu says, "I thought you were our friend."
"Yeah that's messed up," Kenta says repeating Kazu, "I thought you were our friend too."
"I am," Takato says, "You're always cracking on me so why shouldn't I do it to you once in awhile."
"Well let's see what they give us," Henry says.
Meanwhile Tai and the other digi-destined are looking around to see if they can't find any of the younger digi-destined around, "If Kari, TK and the others are here," Tai says, "Then either they are talking among themselves or their lost. I just hope there not here at all."
"If we haven't found them by two days from now then I doubt there here," Matt says worried about TK, "I just hope we can get this over with soon and defeat whoever that digimon is."
"I'm hungry Tai," Agumon says, "Can't we just go to the café and get some of the food they have."
"Yeah let's go eat," the other digimon say in agreement with Agumon, "We're hungry too."
"Fine let's go eat," Tai says as they start heading towards the café.
Meanwhile the Tamers enter a large room with many tables and sit at one near the middle of the rooms as about fifty digimon walk in with push carts, "What is this?" Kazu asks.
"Ham sandwich," the digimon says.
"I don't like ham sandwiches," Kazu complains.
"We serve one thing and if you don't like it then use digi-chips to get something else," the digimon says before walking away.
"Have you seen Jeri?" Henry asks as Terriermon dug into his sandwich.
"No," Kazu says, "But I'm going to see what tasks there are so I can get something other than a ham sandwich."
"Excuse me, where do I go to find out what I can do to earn some digi-chips," Kazu asks one of the digimon.
The digimon turned around and says, "I can tell you where to go, but no one is aloud to leave here until everyone has finished eating. The place you need to go is to the store in the lounge, there is usually a list of what jobs you can do to earn money, err I mean digi-chips, now go sit down." The digimon then mumbles, "If he had watched the video in his room he would have already known where to look for the jobs, what an idiot."
Kazu says, "Oh ok, I guess I'll have to go later then." He then goes back to the table to sit down with his friends.
"Hey Kazu why are you back so soon," Henry asks.
"They told me that no one is aloud to leave the room till everyone here is finished eating," Kazu tells them, "And he seemed to be mumbling under his breath about something."
Kenta not paying any attention and looking around at the other tables notices Tai, "Hey isn't that Tai and the older digi-destined over there," he says pointing three tables down.
"Yeah they're here, me and Jeri ran into Izzy, Matt, Tai, and Sora while we were trying to find our rooms, and then after me and Rika found our rooms we ran into Tai again before figuring out which ones were mine and Rika's," Takato states without much concern.
"What! You mean you met some of the digi-destined and didn't say anything to us," Kazu and Kenta yells angrily.
"Actually he told all of us before you two showed up after I knocked out Ryo," Rika states.
"I still don't like this," Henry says, "Some digimon gathers us up to fight. What is his reason?"
Just then the voice came once more, "Jack Jameson and Rick butcher please come to the arena. You're battle will begin shortly."
As the voce continue to speak, Takato watch a tall teen get up with an Agumon near him get up and walk out of the café. While on the other side of the room a teen wearing all black stood up with a Demi-devimon nearby him and also walked out of the room.
Once again the voice spoke up, "The battle will be shown on the net but if you want to any one will be allowed to watch at the arena. Please watch you could be fighting next."
"I think we should go and watch the fight in the arena since it's closer than our rooms and we can actually stay together as a group also," Izzy says to the others.
Tai says, "I agree with Izzy, we should see the battle close up and we can also find out what the jobs are on our way to the arena."
Back to the Tamers and their digimon, "Come on let go of me I want to meet the Digi-destined Takato," Kazu whines while Takato was restraining him to prevent a scene which wasn't working to well.
"Yeah let us go we just want to talk to them and get their autographs," Kenta whines too.
Takato says, "We have more important things to worry about at the moment you two. In my opinion we should go to the arena and watch how the fight is done between the two of them." He then says, "Part of the reason I don't want you to go is that you might reveal stuff to them that hasn't happened yet."
"What do you mean Takato," Henry asks, "How could they reveal anything to them they haven't been through yet."
"When I was talking to them earlier," Takato says, "I asked them out of curiosity what was the last major battle they fought. The answer I got wasn't to reassuring because they said it had only been three and a half years since they faced Malomyotismon," he says, "And I don't think it would be a very good idea to tell them about Armageddimon."
"I don't like saying this, but I agree with Takato we should go and watch the fight incase we end up fighting the winner of the battle," Rika says to all of them.
Then they hear a voice from behind them say, "I'm actually surprised my girlfriend is agreeing with what Takato just said."
"How many damn times do I have to tell you that I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND," Rika turns around and yells in Ryo's face.
"Let's get to the fight," Takato says walking by Ryo.
They walk in the crowd chattering as they made their way to an area with seats slanted down. There are many row rolls of seats surrounding a huge pit. The digimon with white wings stood on a large platform overlooking the challengers.
"Greeting Heroes of the Digital Worlds," the Digimon pronounce, "Here is the opening battle for the day.
