If you have not read Catch Me If You Can, then I suggest you skim the chapters, which will take you all of three minutes, because this is a sequel.

Disclaimer – I do not own Digimon or any songs that may appear in this story, otherwise I would be rich and famous, and Tamers would have been extended. :)

This fic will be much better written then my last one, promise. Finally, chapters will be posted most likely one a month, until further notice. Please R&R

Ch. 1 – A Purpose

……

It was a clear October day in West Shinjuku, and the leaves were had just begun to turn wonderful colors. Businessmen and woman were bustling back to work after a late lunch, school had just let out and the streets were filled with children hurrying home. In this ever-changing city, no one paid a second glance toward one schoolgirl floating through the crowd with ease as well as a sense of purpose.

Rika are you sure, you want to do this? Renamon asked.

Yes.Rika replied stubbornly, as she continued to make her way through the streets toward Hypnos. Renamon understanding her determination evaporated into thin air, as her partner entered the government building.

"Can I help you?" A young lady asked, obviously the secretary of the week.

"Yes. My name is Nonaka, Rika and I am here to see Yamaki." Rika said sweetly.

"I am sorry you don't have an appointment. Would you like to schedule one?" The secretary asked confused as to why an eleven year old girl could possible know who the leader of such a top secret organization was.

"No." Rika said still sugary sweet. "Just tell him I'm here." She turned away from the black marble desk and started across the black tile foyer to the elevators.

"But, you don't have an appointment." The secretary called after her.

"I don't need one." Rika smiled.

Renamon reappeared in the park next to a very startled Terriermon who promptly dropped his cream puff on a small pile of gold leaves. The small bunny like dog looked ready to cry as he stammered something along the lines of "my love, don't go".

Henry closed his book and set it down next to him. "What's up Renamon?" He watched the fox closely noting that she was panicked, which meant Rika wasn't in trouble. But why would she come alone?

"Rika is talking with Yamaki." Renamon said coolly.

"And you fear for his well being?" Henry asked. The golden fox nodded. "That's what I thought." He said. Standing up Henry pulled Terriermon onto his shoulder and started down the gravel path. Why would she go without me?

Rika walked out of the elevator and down an a few winding hallways, knowing exactly where she was going, and a million different ways to get there. She smirked. I know this place better than the back of my hand. She slid the smirk off her face until even those who knew her well could read no emotion. I have a job to do.

"Rika? What are you doing here?" The girl stopped and turned toward the voice. A talk man sporting blonde hair and dark sunglasses had just emerged from a closed door.

"I need to talk to you." She said her voice drained also lacking emotion.

"Well at least she isn't here to kill me." The man mumbled. "Alright." He added in a louder voice and beckoned for her to come inside.

Rika walked into a lecture hall and closed the door behind her. Yamaki had placed himself at the podium in the center of the room, so Rika choose to stand in front of it.

"What is this about?" Yamaki asked, getting straight to the point.

"The Digital World." Rika said.

"What about it." Yamaki asked. "I thought you wouldn't want to go back for at least a few more months.

Rika shook her head. "It's still in pieces from both of the D-reaper attacks, and I can fix it."

Yamaki looked at her questioningly. So Rika continued. "With Juggernaut."

"Why?" He asked gently taking his sunglasses off to reveal brown eyes.

"Because he's still there." She said quietly.

"Who's he?" Yamaki asked.

"Juggernaut."

Henry walked into the Hypnos lobby. "Can I help you?" The secretary asked.

"Yes. Did a girl come through here? She has red hair and purple eyes." Henry asked, trying to stay calm.

"That is none of your business." The secretary said.

"So she did. Do you know where she went?" Henry asked politely.

The secretary thoroughly annoyed now, knit her eyebrows together. "You need to leave now, before I call security."

"So chances are Rika is somewhere up there already, most likely killing Yamaki." Henry smiled. "Thanks." He added as afterthought, and continued on toward the elevator.

"What are we doing here?" Terriermon asked.

"Saving Yamaki." Henry answered.

"Why? From who?"

"From whom." Henry automatically corrected.

"Yea, yea." His partner mumbled.

"We're saving Yamaki from Rika. You need to start listening more."

"Why? You'll just tell me again at least three times when I forget." Terriermon replied playfully.

"Very funny."

"No but why is Rika going to kill Yamaki?"

"I don't know. It must be big because she didn't tell me about it." Henry said, trying not to show the pain he was feeling about being left out.

The elevator doors opened and the duo stepped out. "Where is the least obvious place to commit a murder?" Terriermon asked.

"If I knew that off the top of my head then it would not be the most obvious place." Henry answered as he racked his brain for an answer.

"Juggernaut?" Yamaki repeated.

Rika nodded. "He's still inside my D-arc. He always will be."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Yamaki asked.

Rika shrugged. "It wasn't important until now."

Yamaki grimaced. "It's been three months since you stopped the latest D-reaper and you never once decided to tell me that Juggernaut was still inside you."

"Inside our D-arcs. There's a difference." Rika corrected.

"How? You carry it everywhere."

"Yea, but I can only feel him when I use it." Rika answered.

Yamaki rubbed his temples. "So Juggernaut has been…communicating with you?"

"No…not really, just like a feeling every now and again." Rika struggled with her words. I can't tell him about the song. He'll think I'm crazy. Best to just move on."But, I just need to go back."

"Henry." Terriermon whispered. "There's something going on in there." Terriermon pointed toward a closed door. Henry nodded and slid up alongside of it. Inside were Rika and Yamaki.

"I guess this is our stop." Henry said, and pushed open the door, quietly with just enough room to squeeze through.

Yamaki sighed. "This is really important to you isn't it?" Both of them were clearly unaware of his presence. Rika nodded. "At the moment there is no safe way to take you between worlds." Yamaki said slowly. "Until we know that you can go there and come back safely; I am afraid going to the Digital World is off limits."

"Why?" Henry asked, walking closer to them.

Rika's head spun around so fast, Henry was afraid it might fall off. "Henry!?" He nodded.

Yamaki stood up, and walked around the podium. "It's just too dangerous. I can't risk you getting hurt. I won't take the change. You kids are too important."

Rika sighed, and bit her lip. "We have to go back though." She said quietly, sounding very defeated.

Yamaki shook his head. "I shouldn't be telling you this, but there may be a way, but until the monster makers aren't done running tests yet."

"But until then the Digital World will be in chaos." Henry said. "The deleted areas are still there, and until they're fixed… anything could happen."

"And you plan on playing God with Juggernaut." Yamaki said raising his voice. "I made that mistake once, with the D-reaper. History should not be repeated."

Henry sighed. "I have no intention of playing God, only helping those in need."

"So you would risk your life for someone else?" Yamaki demanded. "And then you want me to explain to your parents why they no longer have a son or daughter?"

"If we would be saving the Digital World then I would gladly risk my life." Rika said.

Henry nodded in approval. "Keep us updated." Without further word, the two tamers walked out.

"Gods all bless you kids." Yamaki breathed.

Rika and Henry walked out of the Hypnos building with only a few odd glances from the secretary. Once they cleared the building Rika stopped walking. "Henry, I, I am sorry."

"Why?" He asked, turning to face her.

"I should have told you." She said not meeting his eyes.

Henry sighed. "You have your reasons."

Rika looked up at him, she could see the hurt look in his eyes but not his face. "I am sorry. I just didn't want you to worry."

"Why would I be worried?"

"Because going the idea of going back there is suicidal. Over half of the Digital World was destroyed in the D-reaper attacks, and now the entire population is fighting for land."

Henry grimaced, he too had been thinking about how stupid it was sounding. "I do worry, but I knew from the beginning we would have to go back." Rika nodded and started walking again, and Henry followed her. "I think it's best that we wait awhile thought, and plan out everything."

"I want to show you something." Rika said. She led him away from Hypnos and the park toward the outskirts of the city.

The further away they got the more Henry inched closer to Rika. How much farther out are we going? This is a really bad part of town.

Indeed, it was bad part of town. Buildings were old and broken, as if many fires and earthquakes had transformed them into heaps of trash. Walls were blasted apart and the uneven streets looked like bomb fields. "What is this?" Henry asked as he eyed a collapsing building where a computer on a desk were hanging over the edge, dangling thirty feet above their heads.

"This is what the D-reaper did." She replied quietly.

Henry was shocked. The News reporters had stopped covering the D-reaper and Digimon attacks long ago, having reported that the city was fully functional again. "I thought everything had been repaired."

"That's what the government wants us to think." Rika said. "These buildings are too destroyed to be repaired and the people were forced to evacuate having no money to rebuild their homes."

Henry glanced mournfully around the city, a deep lump rising in his stomach. "This can't be fixed." He repeated, afraid he had misheard.

Rika nodded. "No one can fix this, but we can fix the Digital World." She turned to face him. "Humans aren't the only ones without homes. There are thousands of homeless Digimon, and we can help them Henry."

Henry gazed into her lilac eyes. There was a seriousness that was almost begging him to agree with her. He nodded slowly. "We have to help them."

Rika nodded. "We need to get back to the Digital World."

"What about everyone else?" Henry asked.

Rika's hope seemed to fall a bit, obviously she hadn't thought about it. "We should explain everything to them."

Henry grimaced. There was a lot the two had been conversing about that no one else knew. "How much should we tell them?"

Rika sighed. "They have a right to know everything."

"They have a right, but I don't think it's wise to tell them everything." Henry said. "We should leave out the hearing him part."

"And the fact that we've technically been training our D-arcs to work faster and more efficient with his power."

Henry nodded, as he made a mental note to let Rika take charge of the situation. She was the one most obsessed with understanding Juggernaut and fixing the Digital World. Henry was pretty sure it had something to do with her destroying so many Digimon and overworking Renamon when they first met, but he had decided not to push her.

In another part of the city, in a small bakery, Takato and Jeri were sweeping the floor and cleaning pots. The two teens were relatively occupied with their tasks. "You know I think I have finally gotten into the swing of not reporting to Hypnos every day." Takato said not enjoying the silence.

"So much has happened." Jeri said.

"Since when?" Takato asked curious as to the slightly off topic statement.

"Well about a six months ago we first got our partners, a month later we were in the Digital World. Then the D-reaper attacked, a few months after that Locomon. Finally, a week later the new D-reaper attacked." Jeri said.

"Yea, who would have thought nothing would happen in the two months since then." Takato joked.

Jeri smiled. "I like not having to save the world every day."

"Whoa, saving the world again?" A voice from the doorway said.

The two looked up in surprise to see their friends Kazu, Kenta and Ryo. "What are you guys doing here?" Takato asked.

"We were in the neighborhood." Kazu shrugged.

"We were on the other side of town." Kenta corrected.

"Either way." Ryo said. "These two want to know if you guys know anything about the Digimon card tournament coming up in January."

"That's really far away." Jeri said.

Takato nodded. "Yea. I didn't even know there was a tournament."

Kazu and Kenta looked crushed. "But we have to start preparing, so we can win."

Jeri smiled sweetly. "You two do your best and you can easily win." Takato smiled not ready to lie to his friends. Especially since, they lost regularly to Susie.

"Win what?" Rika asked as she and Henry walked in the bakery.

"There's a Card Tournament coming in January!" Kazu burst out excitedly.

Rika raised her eyebrows. "And you want me to kick your butts in public?"

"Yea, pretty much." Kazu said. "No wait! I'm gonna beat you." He said pointing an accusing finger at her.

Rika laughed. "You wouldn't even be able to beat me if I was dead."

"Could too." Kazu challenged.

"Fine, let's go. Right now." Rika said narrowing her eyes.

"Uh-well you see." Kazu stammered waving his hands in front of himself.

"Chicken." Rika muttered.

"Thank-you, Captain Obvious." Henry said dryly.

Takato pushed his and Jeri's brooms back into the closet. "How often do we all randomly end up in the same place at the same time?" He said, trying to get back to a safer topic of conversation.

"Well it's not really random." Henry said. "Rika and I just talked to Yamaki." All eyes turned toward them waiting for an answer.

"We want to go back to the Digital World to fix all the deleted areas." Rika said.

"But we can't because at the moment there is no way to get back there. And even if there was it would be dangerous." Henry explained.

"Hasn't it always been dangerous?" Takato asked.

Henry nodded. "Yes, but at the moment all the Digimon are fighting over land because over half of the land was deleted."

"But how would you fix it." Jeri asked.

"With Juggernaut." Rika said.

"Are you sure?" Takato asked. "Wasn't Juggernaut the one that caused so much trouble in the beginning?"

Henry nodded, and Rika said. "He's on our side now."

"He?" Everyone said.

Rika sighed. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.

"There's a lot we never told you." Henry said, quietly. "We didn't want you to worry." He added quickly.

"Juggernaut is still inside our D-arcs, and he always will be." Rika said. "But, we can use him to fix the Digital World."

"Are you sure this will work?" Ryo asked.

Rika nodded. "Positive."

"Well then I say it's a go." Kazu said.

"Yea." Kenta added.

"We're Tamers and it's our goal to patch up the Digital World." Takato said.

"Our purpose." Henry said.

"No matter what it takes." Rika said.

Two Worlds - Phil Collins

Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace

Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace

Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But dangers no stranger here

No words describe a mothers tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope

Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

(A/N – Please read. I express myself with music and thus my characters will be very into music. I suggest that in order to maximize your reading experience that you at least skim the song or go to youtube and listen to it as you continue to read. Starting most likely next chapter the song(s) will be geared to more specific characters and moods, and not the group as a whole. Sorry to take up so much space.)

More authors notes. (sorry)

Well how did you like the first chapter? (That would be a hint to review. :)

I was planning on having longer chapters more like 20 pages, but I am not sure what happened here. I'll put more work into them.

Happy Holidays to all, and I will hopefully post some time in the New Year. (How exciting did that sound?)
