Frozen Twins: Alright… here's my third story…hopefully I'll actually be able to finish it this time. But I have learned from my mistakes. With Dimensional Echoes I had way to much going on and extra little stuff that didn't need to be their. With Dawn's Echoes: The death of a Friend… I had way to many Main characters, (Let's see… including Digimon I had… 65 or so. Yeah… you see why I stopped that one.)
Betamon X: anyways this one's different, just dealing with the Tamers, and no crazy ideas with stuff that didn't show up in the show.
Gomamon: so we present to you the next try and the fanfic…
Dragon's FuryChapter 1
Three Years Later
"Takato!" Takato's mom called, "didn't you forget something?" she asked.
"Like what?" he asked his arms full of a bag with bread.
"Oh… I don't know… maybe like you're homework?" she asked.
"I'll do it when I get back." Takato said.
"And where are you going with all of that bread, it's not like you need it anymore." She said.
"Me and my friends are having a picnic." Takato said as his eyes saddened at the thought of his partner.
"oh… sorry." Mrs. Matsuki said apologetically.
Takato grinned and used the chance to get out, he had gotten 10 feet when Mrs. Matsuki leaned out the side door, "be home by 7:00!" she called.
"Ok… I will." Takato cried out, so with that, the fifteen year old boy who had saved the world was off to meet with his friends. A casual viewer would see a boy with scruffy hair, a pair of goggles and a maroon tee-shirt with a hood. If they were good at noticing detail, they would also see that he had khaki pants that were rolled up, two red sweatbands, one with the hazard symbol, the other with the tri-force, and that he had a Gold D-Arc clipped to his pants.
Takato kept running until he got to the park, it was a different one then he used to go to, because that one had been closed down by the government.. Henry and Kenta were sitting on the grass battling with their digimon cards while Suzie was writing in her notebook that she always kept with her. "Hey guys." He said as he set the bag of bread on the blanket Suzie and Henry had brought.
"Hey Takato." Henry said, "We need to wait a bit longer, though.." He said, "where the only one's here."
Takato nodded, "well… lets see, Steven lives on the other side of town… so does Rika. Jeri should be here pretty soon, and I'm sure Kazu is hanging out with the skaters instead of us." He told them.
"Yeah… he is." Kenta said, "he says he doesn't believe in digimon anymore and gave me all of his cards."
"What did he do with his D-ark?" Henry asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seem him wearing it for over a year and a half." Kenta told him.
Takato sighed remembering that Kazu started telling them that the D-Reaper didn't exist 6 months after the digimon left, then he started saying they never went to the digital world, then that their digimon where the only digimon that existed. Now he was flat out denying that digimon had ever existed in the first place. Takato turned around and a grin appeared on his face. "Hey Ryo!" he shouted as the tamer came up and joined them.
Henry digivolved his Agumon to Tyranomon, "Hey. Haven't seen you around for awhile. When did you get into town?" he asked.
"My dad was coming into town today so he was able to drop me off." Ryo said.
"Nice." Takato said, "so how have you been doing?" He asked.
"Alright I guess, but theirs school on Monday, so I guess I can't say all that good." Ryo told them.
"It's life." Henry said.
Ryo looked at Kenta's hand, "throw three and digivolve Vaccine." He told Kenta.
"But Tyranomon is strong against vaccines." Kenta told him.
"You would prefer for him to get to go Mega?" Ryo asked.
Henry glared at the Tamer King… of course he had been dethroned a few times… and Rika was now officially the best player… and he came in fourth, but still… he was in fourth. "You mind not giving away my strategies?" Henry asked.
"You need to learn to play against people who can read you." Ryo said, "otherwise you'll never get better."
Takato chuckled at the two. Ryo let the two duke it out and walked over to the leader of the group. "Hey Takato… can I ask you a question?"
"You don't need to ask Ryo." Takato told him.
"Well… I was wondering what ever happened to you and Jeri?" he asked.
Takato was taken back for a moment, then composed himself, "Well…nothing really."
"I thought you guys where going out for awhile." Ryo said.
"We were… but then we just stopped, and then nothing. I guess we just sort of simultaneously decided that we didn't want to go through any drama." Takato told his friend, "I mean, were still really good friends, and I take her out for friend dates occasionally, but nothing serious like we were."
"Ah…" Ryo said, "That probably would have been a lot better then what me and Rika went through." He said.
"That's what you get when you move onto a giwl to fast." Suzie told the older teen not looking up from her notebook.
"I wasn't moving too fast." Ryo defended.
"Second date and alweady wanting to make out?" Suzie said, "wway to fast." She went back to writing in her notebook.
Takato chuckled and looked at his friend, "yeah… I'm going to have to agree with Suzie on that one."
Ryo rolled his eyes, "right… and I'm supposed to take advice from a kid who hasn't even kissed a girl other then his mom?"
Henry played Pluck, "that's game…" he said as he picked up his cards.
"No way… I lost again." Kenta said, "it doesn't matter, I guess I'll just have to go and buy some more cards again." He said as he handed a card over to Henry.
"Keep it… you need them more then I do." Henry told him.
"You could have won that." Ryo told Kenta.
"I guess I just stink at being a tamer," he said.
Ryo turned around to see a red haired girl in green slacks and a pink t-shirt. "Hey guys." Jeri said coming up, "Sorry I'm late… but I brought brownies." She said as she brought out the platter.
"Yeah… Bwonies!" Suzie said as she set down her notebook and pencil.
"Well, let's eat." Henry said, "I mean their no reason we should let the food get any colder." He said.
Everybody sat down to eat and started to make casual conversation. Suzie was quiet the whole time, and after she finished eating, she got up and went walking around.
"Hey Henry." Ryo asked, "what's up with you're sister?
Henry chewed through the Terriermon bread that Takato had made for him. "I don't know. She's been like this for about 8 months now. She's always either looking at nature or writing in that notebook of hers." He told them.
"I wonder why." Kenta said, "has she dueled anybody with cards lately?" he asked.
"Not that I know of." Henry said.
"She's came over to my place and dueled me a few times." Takato said. "She' s really good, I've only beaten her once."
Ryo raised his eyebrows, "only beaten her once…how many times have you guys dueled?"
"Fourteen times I think." Takato told his friend, while chewing on some Guilmon bread.
Ryo raised his eyebrows, "Could Suzie be the second place ranked person?"
"You mean the Echoing Shadow … I don't think so." Henry said, " I don't know if she's ever even been in tournament."
"And besides," Kenta said, "the Echoing Shadow has cards no one else has ever even seen before."
Jeri laughed, "you know I've heard that the Shadow is some really hot guy." She said.
"And why does that matter?" Rika said walking up, "Besides, Shadow only plays online, nobody actually knows if it's a guy or a girl, but I'd be willing to put my money on that it's a girl just by the way she plays her cards."
"Aww come on Rika." Ryo said, "you just had to go and burst Jeri's bubble that their may be a guy out their as hot as me."
Takato and Henry both snorted at the same time and Kenta's eyes went wide. "If it isn't Mr. Perfect." Rika said snottily, "what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I do have things such as friends you know." Ryo said.
"I'm sorry… all I've ever seen is fan girls." She said.
Takato pulled out his little notepad and put Rika's and Ryo's name on it. He put a tally under Rika's name. Henry grinned. "Fangirls aren't that great…but who's the one who has at least twelve stalkers." Takato put a tally under Ryo's name.
"You know… I don't even know how you got Fangirls. You're uglier then an Ogremon." Rika shot back.
Takato put a mark under Rika's name.
"You know… if I didn't know better, I would say that you switched smells with a Raremon." Ryo said back. Takato looked at his pad, two to two.
"Quick question." Rika said, "did you switch you're brain with a Numemon, because you're comebacks are horrible?"
Takato put another mark under Rika's name.
Ryo gritted his teeth for a second, then came up with a good one, "you know what… you couldn't even get Numemon to follow after you because they'd all flock to your mom." He shot back.
Time stopped for everybody… then Ryo realized what he did. Number one rule… do not compare Rika to her mom, especially in looks. Rika slammed her foot into Ryo's face sending him five feet backwards.
"Nice kick." Jeri said.
Henry shook his head and Takato heard him say something about how Rika hadn't changed at all. Ryo then disappeared to go take care of his bloody nose.
Rika sat down and the picnic continued, Steven called and informed them that he couldn't make it today because of homework.

Suzie looked at the blue sky, it was so relaxing, and occasionally she could see Lopmon in the clouds… along with all the other digimon. Her eyes saddened at the thought of her partner. Three years ago Lopmon had left her. She never really understood what was happening, she had always known then that her digimon would eventually come back to her. It never crossed her mind that she would never return. As time went by, she never did understand why her father and Henry never talked. She never understood why Henry hadn't forgiven his dad. She was mad too that Lopmon had to go, but in the back of her mind, she was waiting for the day that their digimon would come back.
It never came, and then their was a glimmer of hope when Takato found the portal. He told everybody, but he also told Yamaki. Yamaki didn't mean to, but the government found out through him. They closed down that park, and now there was a high-security level facility around it. Then Yamaki was kicked off the job for wanting to let the tamers go get their partners. They had tried to sneak in once, but they almost got thrown in jail for life… luckily the jury was sympathetic and understood. They hadn't attempted to do that again.
It was after that, that Suzie had finally understood. They weren't ever going to see their digimon ever again. Henry's anger towards there farther made sense… Lopmon was gone to her forever. Since then she had started to seclude herself, she stopped hanging out with her friends, and started to hang out only with Takato, Henry and Rika. She also started to write.
Writing was her way of escaping the awful terror that gripped her, the fact that she couldn't ever see Lopmon again. She wrote stories of her and Lopmon. They would go on adventures together with Rika, and Takato and Henry and their digimon and beat the Dark Masters, defeat the D-reaper once more, and destroy Millenniumon himself, but it was all just a story, and she would wake up to find that none of that stuff had happened.
No one had ever read them but herself, but she didn't care. She didn't write for pleasure or attention… she wrote because that was the only way she could ever be with Lopmon again.
Because Lopmon was never coming back.

Kyubimon ran through the woods. She had improved a lot since she left Rika, and even though it was the hardest thing she's ever done, she wouldn't have had it any other way. Well, maybe if Rika had been with her here in the digital world, but that would be it. She had worked hard as rookie alongside Guilmon and Guardramon as laborers, or at least for the first short little while. They were helping build up Network city after the D-Reaper, their was plenty of work for everyone, and all digimon shared with each other and looked out for each other.
However, after there was enough housing for everyone, digimon started to look out for themselves again, but their was still this connection between all digimon of good will. They all had one thing in common, they survived the D-Reaper.
It wasn't long after the housing part of the city was done that an election was held. HiAndromon won the vote and started putting digimon to work immediately. They however had something else to do.
MarineAngemon came to them and said they he wanted to put together a hospital, as their was only one in the city so far, he had gotten enough money from HiAndromon, it's just that the price of laborers had gone up so much that they wouldn't be able to afford everything that was needed. The three of them agreed to help out and where paid 15 bits an hour. It wasn't much, but they could survive on it since they could sleep in the unfinished hospital.
It was while they were building the hospital, that Guilmon learned to digivolve on his own, which helped a lot. With Growlmon, they were able to build some bigger rooms for larger digimon. The whole project took about 8 months, and could house around 800 digimon. However, she and Guilmon left after the main part was done, Guardramon stayed on to help with all of the equipment wiring.
She and Guilmon then left and headed over to Blue Screen Bay. It was a nice little town that still needed some help, so she and Guilmon started working on fixing up the roads real nice. They got 24 bits an hour for this job and combined where able to live fairly decent. It was here that they ran into Terriermon and Lopmon.
At one of the Inns, Terriermon was doing stand up Comedy and Lopmon was a waitress. According to Lopmon, they were mates, according to Terriermon, he was still allowed to hit on pretty female digimon. It was their that she was finally able to digivolve to Kyubimon. Due to the fact that she could run very fast as Kyubimon, she got hired on as a guard for a company that did delivery's. The corporation had her helping from trading to carrying packages that needed to be their quick.
Guilmon on the other hand had trouble finding work since he wasn't an Aquatic digimon, and wasn't the brightest of all digimon on top of that. He finally was able to get hired on in a mining operation for Chrome-Digizoid. It was really good for him since it put all of his skills to work, his ability to dig, his nose… and he could melt the metal to it's pure substance so it could be sold for more to Digi-smiths.
She had just made a delivery to Megabyte and was returning home to Guilmon. They had had an interesting relationship before they got married. Guilmon never really did anything to get her attention but be himself. She enjoyed the way he always made mistakes and could laugh it off, she enjoyed the innocence he had, the kindness he held beneath his powerful exterior. Guilmon had always allowed her to relax like never before.
They had only been married for six months now, but their egg was ready to hatch, and she was ready to settle down and watch their kid until he/she could handle themselves on their own. Her mind track settled down as she neared the town.
Kyubimon slowed down as she entered into Blue Screen Town and walked to her work. She de-digivolved and walked in. "Morning Renamon." Penguinmon said looking up from his book accounting, "just give me a sec to register that you made it in." he said.
He looked through the files until he found hers, "alright… so it was a simple package delivery… 180 Bits plus another 50 for quick delivery." He said. He went over and opened the safe and got out 230 bits. "Here you go."
"Thank you… hey, theirs something else I wanted to do." Renamon told him.
"Hmmm… what's that."
"I'm turning in my resign form…" She said.
Penguinmon raised his eyebrows, "Really… aww that stinks… the boss won't like that, you're really one of our best workers." He said.
"I know, it's just that I'm going to have a kid soon, and want to take care of him myself. I don't feel comfortable letting somebody else teach my kid values. I feel it takes away the responsibility of being a mother." She told him.
"I understand, my wife did the same thing before the D-Reaper." Penguinmon said.
"Oh…I'm sorry." Renamon said apologetically.
"It's life… I'll tell Blossomon, but I don't think she'll be happy." He said.
"Thank you." Renamon said, and left.
Penguinmon handed the note about Renamon leaving to Tokomon, who took the message up to Blossomon.
Blossomon looked at the note, "Thank you… you may be off." He told Tokomon. He turned around to Musyamon. "Renamon wants to quit." She told him.
Musyamon raised his eyebrows, "We can't let her go, we'll lose 33 percent of our profits." He said.
Blossomon nodded, "I know… and I've been expecting her to leave ever since she had that egg." She said. "That's why I've enlisted some "help"." she said.
Demi-devimon stood on the wind sill. "I heard that you need to keep a worker?" he said evilly.
"You have them?" Blossomon asked.
Demi-devimon produced six items, "Three Black Gears, Three Black Rings." He said.
"Why do we need both?" Musyamon asked, "and I thought Black Rings only worked in the presence of a tower."
The bat smiled, "you see, digimon as strong willed as Renamon and Guilmon can sometimes fight off one of these, but never both, as for the Black Rings, they have been modified to feed off digital world instead of a Black Tower, so a spire is no longer needed."
"Why three sets though?" Musyamon asked.
Blossomon picked them up, "This way, we keep Renamon, and we can get Guilmon as our own private bodyguard, he's the strongest Champion I have ever seen… plus their kid is bound to be powerful." She said grinning. She turned to the bat, "here, 10,000 bits. All yours." she said.
"Thank you." Demi-devimon said grinning, and took off, he was going to make a killing Black-Marketing those things. Maybe he should invest some money into making the Rings camouflaged.

Lopmon carried dinner to the awaiting Mushroomon, she set it down with her left ear and mixed up his drink with her hands. She handed him his drink. "Thank you, you're really a pretty one, so I'd be careful." The Mushroomon said giving her a three bit tip.
"Thank you, and don't worry, I will be, and I have Terriermon to back me up if I ever do get into trouble anyways." Lopmon said to him. She then went over and handed Terriermon his meal.
"Thanks." Terriermon said, getting down and giving his mate a hug,
"Don't worry about it." Lopmon said wrapping her ears around him.
Terriermon eyed a few Gaburimon. "Do you want me to stay tonight?" he asked her.
"I should be fine." She told him.
"Are you sure? Terriermon asked.
"I'll be fine, Floramon will be here as well." She told him.
Terriermon could tell the Gaburimon had one to many drinks., "I don't know."
"I'll be fine." Lopmon insisted.
Terriermon was still unsure, "alright…" he said as he got up and started eating his food. He eyed the Gaburimon as they left.
He got up, kissed Lopmon good bye and left for home.
It was a nice night out, the breeze coming off the ocean produced a nice little whistle and it lifted his ears up a little bit. He opened them to catch as much of the wind as possible and jumped and started to glide. He let himself be carried by the wind to the house he was sharing with Guilmon and Renamon. He walked in to find Renamon sitting on the counter looking at her egg. "That was a quick delivery." He told her.
"Yeah…" she said. Terriermon could tell that she was thinking about something else, "do you know where Guilmon is? He's late." She said with worry in her voice.
Terriermon shrugged his shoulders, "you got me, he didn't stop by the inn tonight." He told her.
Renamon looked at her egg, "I'm worried…", she said as she started to fidget.
"And you want me to watch the egg while you go out looking for him?" he asked.
"If you would." Renamon said concerned for her mate.
"Momenti, I'm sure Guilmon's safe." He said.
Renamon nodded, "still… I'm going to go out and look for him."
Terriermon watched her go out the door. He grabbed the egg off the counter and brought it into the living room where he turned on the T.V. The only station that they got out here was a weather station, which was crucial to the industries around here, but not very entertaining. He looked through his movie collection (well, his and Guilmon's, the girls had their own chick flick section). He finally grabbed Teenage Mutant Ninja Kamemon. It was an old school movie, but it was still awesomely intense.
The movie was about half over when he pressed paused and turned to the egg. It had moved. "Oh Baihumon it." Terriermon swore. He grabbed the egg and rushed upstairs with it shaking and cracking madly in his ears. He placed in a basket of pillows, and the egg started to thrash violently. The young baby digimon finally broke through after about ten minutes.
"Hi." The small purple digimon said.
"Hi?" Terriermon said sweat dropping. He didn't know anything about Fresh digimon, so how was he supposed to take care of him.
"I'm hungry." The digimon said.
Terriermon smiled, of course, all digimon are always hungry. "hold on one sec." He said as he ran downstairs. He grabbed a pasty food, "yuck, Fresh food." He said holding his nose with his hands and keeping the jar as far away as his ears could stretch. He then grabbed a spoon with his other ear while trying to open the jar of Fresh food. He went upstairs only to find the new born digimon missing. "Baihumon… It's been three minutes and I've already lost Renamon's kid… she's going to kill me." He said as he set the Fresh food jar down, with the lid off and started looking around. He looked everywhere he could in that room, and when he couldn't find the new born, started searching for the baby in other rooms.
He searched though his and Lopmon's room and couldn't find the little guy, then checked the bathroom but there was still no sign of him. He swore again.
He went back to Guilmon's and Renamon's room to see the digimon sleeping with the Fresh food all over his face and the jar of food spilled all over the floor. He picked the little kid up and wiped his face with a napkin.
"You know, I don't think I've ever seen a digimon like you before." Terriermon said while cradling the digimon in his ears. Terriermon set the new digimon down in his crib, which took some doing since it was made for taller digimon.
Terriermon looked at the digimon, when it started snoring. "Dodomon… Dodomon… Dodomon…" it snored.
Terriermon shook his head, "Renamon's going to kill Me." He said as he started to clean up the mess caused by the Fresh food.

Alright, so what do you guys think, yeah, na… to short? What? Did I portray people bad, did I OC them, does it just plain all around suck… just let me know whatever.
Betamon X: yeah… oh and one thing we forgot to mention, we'll probably Cameo a lot of characters from all of our other stories, so expect that, however, we will NOT be making the same mistake as Dawn's Echoes.
Gomamon: alright, I'll be the one who recaps everything important that's happened in the last chapter, and at the end of each chapter, so let see. Some of the Tamer's had started to fall apart, Kazu went in denial, and Suzie became depressed, while Henry isn't willing to forgive his dad for what he did.
(Quick Note, the events of the last movie happened in between the time that the d-reaper was defeated and their digimon were forced to go home.)
Gomamon: and on the digital side of things, we find out that Renamon and Guilmon have been doing odd jobs and the such until they were able to finally settle down into a little town. MarineAngemon and Guardramon are running a hospital while Terriermon and Lopmon are working in an Inn in that same town, and the four of them have their place together. Let's see…anything I'm forgetting?
Betamon X: Well, we learned that Takato and Jeri just kind of drifted back to friends, Rika and Ryo got into a fight in which Ryo lost and that Black Gears and Rings still exist.
Gomamon: So I didn't forget anything important, well, review and let us know what you think.
One last thing, we need a Beta Reader… I would be honored to have somebody Beta read my works of Numemon sludge, so thank you…
The thing after the one last thing… I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this story, so if you guys have ideas, that would be awesome, otherwise we'll just see where this takes me. Thank you.
