Chapter2: Arrival
Hyrule Field
The portal opened below a large tree as both Takato and Guilmon fell out. They landed on the soft grass and looked around. Guilmon looked back to where the portal was and noticed it had closed.
"Well it's to late to go back now" the digital dino said glumly. It was night fall in this world and it appeared that they were in a large field of grass. Takato turned to see Guilmon sitting down next to the tree. "I'm sleepy" he said as the dino's eyes started to close.
Takato turned to see some kind of ranch not to far away. "Guilmon wake up I think I've found a place for us to stay" he said to his digimon friend who was now on his feet. They walked up to entrance and saw that the gate was open. They walked inside and sat down next to the far wall of the Ranch. They soon fell asleep and waited for morning to come.
Hyrule Castle
A figure clad in green moved swiftly through the castle's corridors. Only moments ago the Princess of Hyrule sent him a telepathic massage telling him to meet her as soon as possible. Being the Hero of Time who everyone in Hyrule knew, gave him the privilege of walking straight past the guards around the castle. Impa, the Princess's personal assistant and guardian appeared from the shadows and ran along side of him.
"Any idea what is so important that the Princess called me here for?" he asked as they ran. He looked at the Sheikah as she shook her head; he looked forward and saw the door to the Throne room. "Well it looks like I'm about to find out" he stated as they entered the large room. Paintings of the former Kings and Queens covered the walls and at the other end of the room was the Throne with King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule sitting upon it.
Princess Zelda stood beside it and watched them as they approached. It had been six years since time was altered and Ganondorf was sealed in the Sacred Realm, hopefully forever.
"You called your Highness" he said and bowed as Impa disappeared into the shadows. The King stood and walked towards the young Hylian followed by his daughter.
"Link" he said as the Hero rose to meet him "if my daughter's predictions are true then we do not have a lot of time".
"With all do respect sir, if you give me the Ocarina of Time I can give you all the time you need" the Hero replied as the Princess moved forward.
"I'm afraid it would do no good Link, I've been having dreams of a coming darkness that will destroy Hyrule and you remember the last time I had dreams like that" she said as he stared at her. Yes he remembered, how could he forget that the last time she had a dream of darkness was just before Ganondorf started his Campaign to control Hyrule in the alternate future. "Link there is someone of great impotents currently at Lon Lon Ranch, would you bring him to me" she said and he nodded.
"When and where will this darkness arise?" he asked but her only response was pointing out of the window at Lake Hylia. He nodded and said "I've got a few things to do, if this darkness is as powerful as you say I'm gonna need a few things to help deal with this threat". He then turned placed the bunny hood on his head and ran out of the door with at the speed of horse.
"I hope that kid knows what he's doing" the King stated and Zelda nodded.
"They don't call him the Hero of Time for nothing" she replied.
After Link returned to the Present as a child and met Zelda again who along with the Sages remembered everything. She gave him the Ocarina of Time and told him to return it after he completed his quest for adventure. After he met with the other Sages he went to Lon Lon Ranch to meet the one person he hated to see in so much pain, Malon.
When he arrived he was greeted by Malon who strangely enough remembered everything and asked what happened. He told her the entire story and said he would be leaving for a few months. She gave him the horse, Epona who only let Malon and Link ride her. He said goodbye and soon left but not before looking back to see a small tear fall from her face. He hated to do this but he felt a need to leave, he could feel a strange darkness gathering in the Lost Woods and headed in that direction.
When he came back the first place he stopped was the Ranch. Malon was so happy to see him again she forgot about the time without him there with her. When she asked him where he had been his only response was "around". Clearly he didn't want to talk about it so she never pushed the issue.
Dream World
Tamer you must meet the Hero of Time, he will take you to the Princess of Destiny. She is already aware of your presence and is awaiting your arrival. Be safe Tamer of Chaos.
Lon Lon Ranch
Takato slowly awoke to find a girl about fifteen-sixteen standing in front of him. She wore a long brown skirt, a white top and had dark red hair. Takato almost mistook her for Rika except Rika never lets her hair down in public.
"Do you mind telling me who you are, sir?" she asked as Takato looked to his right and saw Guilmon lying down beside him still asleep.
"I'm sorry to intrude miss, my name is Takato, I'm sorry for entering the Ranch without permission but I didn't want to wake anyone" he replied trying to not to forget his manners.
Guilmon finally awoke and sat up "I'm hungry Takatomon" the digital dino whined and much to Takato's surprise the girl did not seem fazed by a talking dinosaur. 'Does this world have talking animal or do people here have no fear of the unknown?'
He took a batch of bread out of his bag and passed it to Guilmon who ate it within seconds. He looked at the girl in front of him and asked "Do you have a name?"
"Malon and this Ranch is called Lon Lon Ranch" she turned to Guilmon and asked "I've never seen a creature like that before, what is he might I ask?"
"He's a digimon which stands for digital monster but trust me he only fights in self-defence" he stated as the sound of hoofs hitting the ground caught everyone's attention.
"Link" Malon said as a horse with a figure clad in green rode into the Ranch. The Hero of Time slowed, stopped and dismounted.
"Hi! Mal" he then spotted Takato "this must be the one who the Princess told me about". He looked at Takato then Guilmon, "I have orders from the Princess to take you to the Castle so grab your gear and let's go" he said calmly as Takato nodded.
'If this is a trap then Guilmon should be able to handle it' the Tamer thought as he stood and helped Guilmon up.
"I'm afraid I only have room for one passenger, your friend will have to stay here" the Hero stated but Takato shook his head.
"Guilmon can I have a lift?" he asked the digital dino who only nodded in response. He took out his Digivice and a card. "Digimodify" he swiped the card through the Digivice and said "Digivolution activate".
Digivolution
Guilmon's skin peeled away and his inner data wires were now visible "Guilmon digivolve too Growlmon" his skin reconfigured and there stood a twenty foot Growlmon.
"Thanks boy" he said as he climbed onto Growlmon's shoulder "lead the way mister…." He looked at Malon and Link and saw astonishment on there faces.
The Hero quickly snapped out of it and mounted Epona "my names Link and I'm the Hero of Time" he turned to Malon and said "this shouldn't take long". He rode of with Growlmon right behind him.
'Be careful Fairy Boy'
Matsuki Bakery
It had been quiet in the Bakery all day after Takato's parents found the letter he left. When the Goggleheads friends came to see if there was anything they could do Mr and Mrs Matsuki only said that whenever Takato makes a promise he always keeps it.
When Jeri found out she almost lost it saying that it was like losing Leomon all over again. Henry tried to comfort her per Takato's request while Kazu and Kenta complained that they won't be able to play the digimon card game with him for a while. Ryo came by and said that the Gogglehead could handle himself while Rika didn't say anything until Mrs Matsuki came up to her and handed her the letter they found in his room.
She read it
Mom, Dad don't worry about me I'll be back, Henry will fill you in on everything but please I ask you to give this letter to Rika
Rika, I know you must think I've lost it or something but I have to do this, please understand. Rika I'm sorry I can't tell you this in person but I need you to be strong one more time, don't dwell on your Father leaving. He must have had his reasons and I do too, I will be back. That you can count on, but it might be a while so I want you to be strong and come back to the Tamers.
P.S: Tamers Forever.
She finished reading and held her head up high 'he's right but I still think you're an idiot Gogglehead' she thought as she walked away.
There was nothing she could do but whisper "good luck you stupid Gogglehead".
Author's notes: thanks for the reviews and before anyone asks no I'm not trying to make Rika into some kind of sappy cry baby. No I'm just trying to make her more human, I mean come on if someone you cared about disappeared what would you think?
