Regless: It occurs to me, that when I do this it counts as script format… so… ya, this is my last time. Although I am, of course, still replying to reviews.
Viral State – Chapter 3 – First Fragment
Odaiba, once a vacant stretch of reclaimed land. But now an amazing selection of entertainment and exhibition facilities have made this place the most popular leisure destination in Tokyo. Despite this, not everyone in Odaiba wants to be there, as is the case with one Takato and Impmon.
"This is excellent." Impmon said as he shoved another hotdog in his mouth. He was about to reach for another when Takato slapped his hand. "Hey. What gives?"
"I'm paying, and in case you didn't notice I don't exactly have wads of bills bulging out of my pants."
"…How much can you afford?"
The gogglehead sighed. "That's all for now. I gotta figure something else out for food."
The Viral Rookie sighed. "This sucks… Hey I wonder if I can go back to my Mega form yet?"
"I doubt it." Takato exclaimed. "Here you need a decent amount of energy to Digivolve and it doesn't last very long…"
"Just great… So what now? Hey do they charge you for the condiments?"
"No." Takato replied rather melancholy turning to look at the scenery. The sun was setting, it was getting late. "I wonder… perhaps we should be looking for the White Hazard. The White Piece controls Worlds right, so if we can find that, maybe we can go home."
Impmon just finished squeezing half a tube of ketchup into his mouth and wiped his lips. "What about Rika and Renamon?"
Takato sighed a bit. "Man I'd really like to see them again. But we don't know where to start, at least with the Hazard we can go back… to… the… Oh no we forgot."
"No, you forgot. I never forget anything…" Impmon sneered. "What'd you forget anyway?"
Takato practically jumped out of his seat. "The portal to the… uh... place."
"…? Youse mean the Dark Ocean or somethin'" The Virus scratched his head.
"Tch!" Takato clamped his hand over Impmon's mouth… again. He made a mental note that he was doing that a lot lately. "Not out loud. The place isn't something you just bring up. Only Kari, Ken, Yolie, and T.K. are familiar with that place."
"Mmm… mphmrphanphooffofmephouph."
The gogglehead slowly removed his hand, which, thanks to Impmon, was now covered in some kind of ketchup gunk. "Ewww. Thanks a lot."
"No problem. Anyway, let's go back to the 'place' now and check it out." Impmon started off, but stopped when he noticed his pal was still sitting at the hotdog stand.
"…"
"Oh what now?" Impmon asked
Takato sighed. "I was just thinking… We don't have Digiports in our own world, so I'm worried my Digivice may not be compatible."
"Only one way to find out. Get a move on."
"Digiport, open! …Digiport OPEN! …OPEN OR ELSE I'LL."
"Yeah, that'll work." Takato muttered sarcastically snatching his Digivice away from the little Imp. "Anyway, it looks like I was right, we'll need help. Or to be more specific, we'll need a Digidestined."
"Tell me it's not those incredibly annoying chicks that dragged youse and me here, or even worse, da group we ran into by the door." The Rookie folded his arms.
"No way. Mimi and Sora together is a scary combination, Izzy's really smart and he'll figure out something's up. I dunno how, but he'll do it. We might be able to fool Kari, but Gatomon would be on us like Guilmon on bread if we did anything suspicious. Yolie… She's just, no. We are not trying to trick her."
Impmon grunted glaring at Takato in frustration. "Sure are a lot of people we can't use. Please note how unhelpful that is."
"…Hmmm what we need is someone with an inept partner that we can fool really easy. Someone who's a shoot first think later… much later, kind of person. Someone liiiike…"
"Oh! Didn't realize anyone else was using this room…"
A spiky haired boy with Goggles and a small blue bouncing ball beside him stepped into the room. It was the same kid that was being stomped on by the girl known as Yolie before. Davis sweatdropped while Impmon turned and grinned evilly towards Takato. The Digidestined of Courage and Friendship made his way over to Impmon and pinched his checks.
"Wow, I can't tell if it's a nifty Digimon or just a really ugly little kid." Davis exclaimed.
"Our prayers have been answered." Takato joked.
"Why you big… Bada Boom!"
"Impmon!"
He never listens…
Now in all honesty, Impmon was learning. Before he decided to make Davis a midget Meramon he really did think to ask Takato if it was alright. The problem was he knew Takato's answer would be no, and that was just something he would not accept.
"What? He had it coming."
The boy sweatdropped. "Yeah, but we kinda need his help remember."
Davis's ear perked up as he finished patting out the fire. After all, he was never one to turn down the role of hero, even if it was something as menial as this. "Eh?"
"We kind of lost our Digivice in the Digital World and now we can't go back to look for it." Takato explained.
"No problem, here. Digiport Open!"
Takato glanced at the computer screen, smiling. That wasn't so hard after all. Meanwhile Impmon was snickering at the pose Davis struck and DemiVeemon was cheering his own partner on. In a few seconds they were all pulled into the screen and ended up standing in front of a large stump with a TV. On their other side there was a lake. It seemed rather peaceful.
"Da heck! This isn't were we left before!"
Davis sweatdropped. "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you guys were you want to go."
Takato shook his head. "Forgot about that…"
But more importantly… Isn't this the entrance to Gennai's place? Why did Davis come here?
"Anyway, I gotta take care of something here first, then I'll be back to take you where ever you want."
"..." The other Gogglehead kept silent.
"Yeah yeah, just don't take too long all right." Impmon scoffed.
Takato tilted his head. Something seemed off. Did Gennai have a message, not likely. He could just E-Mail Davis, couldn't he? This must've been more important, but that still left about a thousand possibilities. The water began parting as the stairway to the old man's house was revealed… Actually, he probably wasn't that old anymore was he?
"You mind if we come with you?" Takato asked, getting a curious glance from Impmon.
Davis turned back and rubbed his head. "Well… I dunno, it'll probably get kinda hairy in there."
Now Impmon was looking at Davis. "What, some trouble happening?"
Davis sweatdropped. He didn't really want to involve a couple of Rookie Digidestined in what could probably be a potentially dangerous fight. "No, no, it's nothing."
"Yeah!" DemiVeemon squeaked. "Just a fifteen foot black dinosaur stomping around and breaking things."
"DemiVeemon!"
"I'm in!" Impmon called out, immediately bolting for the opening.
"Impmon!"
The Virus stopped. "…What?"
Takato and Davis exchanged glanced with each other before shaking their heads.
"We can hold our own in a battle. And I don't see any of your fruitcake friends with you." Impmon exclaimed.
Davis nodded. "Yeah the guys are all with their family, well, except for Cody. He's got Kendo lessons and the girls are going shopping to picnicking or something like that. Anyway this is just one Digimon so I figured it would be alright to let them enjoy themselves."
"That was nice of you."
"Heh, thanks for noticing. Well, let's go!"
"As if I need your permission!" Impmon yelled before hoping down the stairs.
DemiVeemon pouted. "That guy needs to switch to decaf."
"Yeah he kinda gets like that sometimes. But he's not so bad, once you get to know him." The gogglehead exclaimed while walking towards the staircase. Davis stared along side him.
"I'll have to take your word for it I guess. Hey, nice goggles. I like the blue lenses."
Takato flushed in spite of himself. "Thanks, I got them…" The boy paused briefly making sure he wasn't about to say something unnecessary or troublesome. "…when I saw Tai and Matt take down Venom Myotismon."
"Oh yeah? Cool. So I guess you're a pretty big fan of mine."
Takato smirked. "Well…"
Now Takato was in fact a pretty big fan of Davis, but in his opinion Tai was the true original. It was one of the reason's he made Guilmon a Dinosaur like Agumon when he designed him. Only bigger and better.
"Well… yeah. Your Digimon is so versatile with all the Digi Armors and DNA Digivolving."
"Thank you!" DemiVeemon beamed at the compliment.
"I'm a fan of all you guys. Tai, Ken, Izzy, Matt, even the girls Sora, Mimi, Yolie."
Davis glanced over. "Ignoring the fact that you forgot to mention Kari, what's so great about Yolie?"
Takato smiled sheepishly. "Uh, well. She's really outspoken and direct, like another girl I know."
"And violent." Davis added.
"-Like another girl I know."
"..." Davis had temporarily run out of things to say.
"Ummm, shouldn't we be hurrying?" Takato asked.
Davis folded his arms. "Well, the E-Mail was a bit vague. Parts of it were cut out but there was one part I was able to piece together. The Digimon only comes out when you go near a certain symbol. The description was completely cut off though so I don't know what it's supposed to look like. Hey, maybe it's like some new kind of crest."
"Symbol…? …Hmmm…! Uh oh, I don't like where this is going."
…The stairway never seemed this long on the show. Takato thought to himself.
After finally reaching the door the Tamer and Digidestined didn't need to try and open it, since Impmon was about two seconds away from plowing through the other side of it on his own.
'CRASH'
Fortunately the Rookie's landing was softened as Takato made the perfect human cushion. Impact left both the Virus and his so called 'partner' dazed. Davis glanced down at the two of them, surprised.
"Wow… I wish I had an intruder alarm like that."
"What for." DemiVeemon asked.
Dais shrugged. "You know, the usual. Yolie, parents, teachers, Yolie, forces of evil, June, Yolie… Feels like I'm forgetting one."
"Ah Davis, so nice of you to join us." Gennai announced from inside the room. Davis peeked inside to see the elderly man sitting on a ripped up couch off to the side. "I was worried you didn't get my E-Mail."
"Heh." Davis flashed a grin and stuck in his finger out in the V symbol. "You know you can always count on me. After all, I am the leader of the Digidestined. Now where is this Digimon that needs to learn who's boss?"
Gennai didn't bother to answer. Impmon was already walking towards the spot making a motion as if he was rolling up his sleeves while Takato was just shaking off the cobwebs "Stupid pineapple headed lizard. I'll teach that thing who da mon is around here."
Pineapple head?
"Just like ya did two seconds ago?" Davis asked snickering.
"Ah shuddap. That was just a warm up."
"No, that was you being flung through the air like a rag doll."
"Pfft, I've had worse."
Yeah… I remember. Takato thought.
As Impmon drew closer to the middle of the room, near a small wooden table with a laptop on it, Takato and Davis noticed that the area around it was totally ripped up, clawed, or burnt. Only those to items in the middle of the room were untouched. A few more steps, and a very familiar symbol appeared right above the laptop and began shining a blinding light.
So… It was the Hazard after all... Well, this should be a pain.
"Alright, let's do this." Davis pumped his fist.
DemiVeemon Digivolve tooo… Veemon!
Veemon Digivolve tooo… ExVeemon!
When the light cleared Takato stepped back. Now there was no way THIS could be a good thing. Standing in front of the group was the same dinosaur DemiVeemon described, what the boy didn't realize at first though was that DemiVeemon was describing a black version of his own Growlmon.
"Eh, no way."
It was then another thought entered Takato mind. When he made Guilmon, he made him extra strong and it seemed to carry through to all of his Digivolutions. It made him wonder, was Davis's one mon enough to handle him?
"Exvee Laser!"
BlackGrowlmon lowered his head and charged straight ahead. The laser slammed into him and forced him off course into the wall, but its effect against the champion's hard hide was minimal. Takato was really beginning to regret making Growlmon that strong now as the Virus pulled his head out of the wall and got ready to roar at his opponent. This caused water to start pouring in from outside. Gennai just sat quietly and sipped his tea.
"You know, a little help would be nice." Takato murmured sarcastically.
"Ha, we don't need no help from some human." Impmon hollered as he charged BlackGrowlmon once again, only to get flicked out of the way by his tail. "Ufff We got'em… huff… right where we want'em… right?"
"Ugh, yeah!" ExVeemon echoed as he grabbled with the enraged dinosaur.
Impmon… Why aren't you Digivolving… Takato thought.
While the blue champion had better upper body strength, his opponent was still pushing him back with his weight advantage and the blunt force of his attacks. Davis and his partner weren't trying to destroy the Digimon, they were just trying to subdue it, and that is why they were going to continue losing until they finally took it seriously.
After blocking a basic kick from the dragon, BlackGrowlmon lashed out with his razor sharp teeth. Exveemon caught the insides of his mouth and held it open to keep it from clamping down on his.
"Eh, maybe not." Exveemon said, starting to sound a little frantic
It was then Impmon noticed the swelling in the warped pineapple head's throat. "Eh, you might wanna duck."
"Huh?"
"Trust me on this." The Rookie replied confidently.
"Exhaust Flame!"
ExVeemon ducked and drew back narrowly missing the fireball, which burnt another hole in the wall behind him. Gennai got up quietly and started proceeding towards the door.
"If this keeps up, my house will be a submarine."
"Well if you're so concerned than why don't you help!" Impmon shot out bitterly before refocusing on the fight. "Summon fireball!"
The Rookie drew a fireball out of the ground much bigger than the ones he usually used to cause havoc or generally annoy people and launched it at the top of the dinosaurs arm. Takato's smiled when he realized what Impmon was doing, he was trying to nail the Hazard symbol, the unofficial weakness of all the Hazards' creations. Unfortunately this particular attempt was swatted out of existence by the lumbering reptile's tail. How insulting, he wasn't even considering Impmon a real threat.
"Graaaahhhh!" BlackGrowlmon charged at ExVeemon once more drawing his arm back.
"So that's how he wants to be huh. Alright ExVeemon, trying to hold him down isn't working, we need to knock him out. You gotta show him who's tougher. Meet him head on."
"Sounds like a plan."
Impmon sweatdropped. "If that's a plan I'd hate to see what youse guys look like when you wing it."
"Stop." Takato yelled out. "He's going to use his arm blade. You're not going to be able to overpower him."
"Eh!"
Now while Davis didn't have time to think of and issue a different command, ExVeemon's own battle experience and superior speed paid off. He wove past the blade and grabbed the beast on either side of him, then spun around and flipped his opponent over… At least he tried to flip him, but he forgot to consider that the house wasn't big enough to do something like that. BlackGrowlmon was, instead, wedged between the roof and smaller blue dragon.
"Well… ug… This is embarrassing."
"Heh heh ha ha ha." Impmon was now rolling on the flooded floor with tears in his eyes at the scene in front of him. "Where's a camera when you need it?"
"Impmon!"
The Virus got up wiping his eyes. "Yea yea, I'm goin'. Summon…"
BlackGrowlmon roared as he pressed his claws against the roof and pushed against it, which, in turn, pressed ExVeemon down… into the floor.
"…Fireball!"
"He's… just too heavy."
All at once ExVeemon collapsed as BlackGrowlmon crushed him, making him de-digivolve. The Fireball missed by a metric mile and the chances of successful for the duo goggleheads and their partners weren't looking too bright. It got even worse when the only remaining Champion picked Veemon up and started to squeeze, while simultaneously bashing Impmon away with his tail.
"Impmon!"
"That tail is really starting to tick me off." The Rookie shouted angrily as Takato rushed to his side. "Takato, what are you doing?"
"Huh?
Impmon scowled. "Aren't you used to dealing with guys that are a level higher than you or somethin'? All you've done this time though is watch and do nothing."
"What do you expect? My modify cards won't work on you." Takato replied slightly annoyed.
"Modify cards Smodify cards. A real Tamer shouldn't have to rely on cards."
Davis glanced over. Tamer? Cards? Ah, can't those two wait till after we're done to start talking about their hobbies.
The mop headed boy frowned. "Easy for you to say."
"Not really, this water's getting up to my eyeballs." Impmon replied climbing onto Takato's back. "By the way, I'm making you my personal life raft, hope ya don't mind getting your feet wet."
"Wet…?" Now that he mentioned it, it was getting pretty high. At the part of the roof that BlackGrowlmon was pressing against looked kind of weak. "Eh! I got it."
"Tch, we're not done yet." Davis called out confidently. "Digi-Armor energize! Fi-"
"Stop, use lightning instead."
Davis almost fell over, having to stop in mid pose so suddenly. "Eh, you sure about that?"
"Tch! Are we sure? Of course we're sure. Whatcha think. were just guessing over here? This isn't guess who ya spikey haired nub now get with the program."
Well, he was right about the arm blade…Davis thought to himself. ...Wait, what's a nub?
"Alright, Digi-Armor energize!"
Veemon, Armor Digivolve too… Raidramon the Storm of Friendship.
"Alright, Impmon, aim for the roof above BlackGrowlmon." Takato called out climbing onto the top of a nearby couch.
"Raidramon, hit him with everything you have."
"Summon Fireball!"
As Impmon fire blew a hole in the roof, letting a miniature water fall pour down on the champion, Raidramon's spikes made it impossible for the dragon to hold on. He twisted out of his grip and launched his own best attack.
"Lightning Blast."
BlackGrowlmon may have been strong enough to handle any one of Raidramon's lightning attacks, but when it becomes amplified by so much water, it's significantly harder to resist. When the electricity ended, BlackGrowlmon was on one knee, his body was disintegrating.
"Eh? But I held back a bit to make sure he survived, why is he dying… Davis? …Davis?"
Raidramon turned back to see his partner looking like a crispy chicken Mcnugget. "…You were supposed to get out of the water you know."
"F…forgot."
Raidramon picked his partner up with his teeth to keep him from tipping over in the water and drowning before turning back to BlackGrowlmon.
"…Hmmm. Shoot, I didn't mean for that to happen."
Impmon scoffed. "A big deal. He'll come back anyway right? Takato, you're up."
Raidramon glanced at the boy to see he was holding out his hand with some strange symbol on it. Actually, it was the same symbol that appeared just before the Black Dinosaur. "Huh?"
"It's not working… I'm not even getting a reaction this time."
Suddenly the tiny orbs of data began to converge once more slowly. "Huh, no way, it's recovering."
"Takato" Impmon shout a little more frantically this time. He did NOT want to have to fight that thing again.
"I'm trying but… nuts it's not working at all."
"What's going on?" The lightning dragon asked.
The data was almost all together. If they waited just a few more seconds, BlackGrowlmon would have been reborn and the trouble would have started anew. The Rookie was not going to let that happen though. He spread his arms and suddenly the data began to flow towards him. Takato needed the Hazard's power for all his special abilities, Impmon, naturally being a Digimon, could do it on his own. He loaded the data, and he wasn't sorry about it either.
"…What… What did you do?"
Impmon folded his arms as he dug his heal into Takato like a horse and pointed to the exit. "Long story short, I just saved you from getting wasted. Now let's get out of here." Takato and Impmon started wadding towards the entrance.
"But he was a Digimon!" Raidramon protested as he began to follow them. Not ay he was letting them out his sight.
"Ha! That's debatable." Impmon replied.
Takato glanced down. "So we were thinking the same thing then... ChaosGallantmon."
"Bingo, or at least part of him." Impmon as he turned back to Raidramon. "Look little doggy, we don't wanna destroy Digimon or anything any more that you do, but this guy isn't something that can be reasoned with or left alone."
The armor Digimon narrowed his eyes.His new friends had a point, but they weren't being entirely forthcoming."Allright, but it's strange... A new Digimon that I've never seen before show up and you two already know everything about it… Not only that, but what did you do to his data?"
"Hmph, I just made sure he wouldn't come back to haunt us. Besides, the data couldn't go to a better mon." The Rookie motioned to himself proudly.
"Then you did destroy him… and in a way he won't come back."
Takato sighed. "Yeah but…ahhh, how can I put this. ChaosGallantmon is like the Dark Masters. And you wouldn't want them around either."
As the group reached the exit, Raidramon laid Davis down on the ground and checked to make sure he was alright before turning towards Impmon. He and Takato were waiting, wondering what the Digimon of Courage and Friendship's reaction would be. Impmon had his arms folded and looked like he didn't really care, while the latter was a bit nervous and kept his gaze focused.
"…Alright. I feel as though as I can trust you, so I'll let you go."
Takato sighed in relief. "Thanks but, what are you going to tell your partner?"
"Exactly what happened. You helped me defeat a dangerous Digimon. I don't think there's a need to mention anything else. I just hope this resolves the issue."
"Tch! Not even close."
The gogglehead looked down at his friend. "Impmon?"
"You kidding? There was hardly any data in that. I think the same thing happened to old Sir Lancelot that happened to me. He got too close to the Hazard and lost all his data. There's probably more bits around like the one that we just beat."
"I see." Raidramon replied.
"Umm, what are you gonna do?" Takato asked.
The Armor focused his stare. "Save the world, what else? Since it seems like you guys already know plenty about this, you're welcome to join us. We could probably benefit from what you guys know."
"Mmmph." The Tamer looked down and nodded. "That sounds…"
"Absolutely not." Gennai said stepping forward. His voice was firm, but his smile made made him seem very approachable still. "Takato Matsuki, the famous Keeper of the Hazard I presume. I hope you can understand but you are to stay as far away from the Hazard, AND the Digidestined as possible. I will be taking care of you."
Takato stepped back in shock. "Er, you but, why."
"Because you still have the Red Piece. Even if it's been degraded, none of its power has gone away. You are still a threat, and if it suddenly reactivated at the wrong moment, you could wipe out all the Digidestined before they even had the chance to Digivolve."
Raidramon's mouth hung open. "Is this true?"
"Uh, mmm. Yeah." Takato looked down again, ashamed. Now seeing him like that, that stared to get Impmon angry.
"Hey! Who died and made you Sovereign? Last I che-"
"Impmon… just let it go."
Gennai smiledas he walked up to Takato,placing a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Don't worry little one. It'll be alright. We're working hard to destroy the Hazard completely and rid this world of its threat." Turning to leave, he waved casually to the other two. "Raidramon. Thanks for all your help, not just in destroying Black Growlmon, but also in locating this young man. You've saved us days, and tell Davis 'Hi' when he wakes up."
Gennai took a few more steps and turned once more. "Also, this is to be at your discretion. I don't want people to get curious about the Hazard, if they find out how dangerous it is there will likely be widespread panic. I'll permit you to tell your partner since it would becruel to do otherwise. But please keep this between as few people as possible. The same goes with what Impmon did to that monster's data." The man said calmly. "I don't want any other Digimon trying it."
"Uh Gennai sir! Can Digimon really absorb each other's data?" Raidramon demanded.
"In the Southern Quadrant, it was common practice. But the data and Digimon here operate by different rules. Some rules, such as hunger, now apply to Impmon, while others, such as the inability to load data, do not."
With that, Gennai turned and started walking away into the sunset... towards his, and Takato's, new home. Impmon stood still for a while, not wanting to resign his charge over to someone else. Wasn't it his duty to at least get back what he lost? What about his Mega form, and Behemoth? Impmon had been unable to Digivolve in the battle against BlackGrowlmon, which is what led him to understand what was happening to himself and ChaosGallantmon. The Hazard had his data, wasn't it his right to get it back…
…Maybe it was before… When all that really mattered was power. But since then Impmon had learned a valuable lesson. Wonderful in its simplicity and perhaps the easiest to understand of all truths... Friends come first…
Hmph, Pineapple Head would never forgive me if I let his Tamer get taken to some weird cult or something. I guess I gotta go to keep that knucklehead out of trouble, after all, he's helpless without me. Who wouldn't be?
"Hey, Takato. Wait up!"
-Hmm. Well. Actually I'm quite happy with especially the end. I managed to make a reason to keep Takato separate from the Digidestined and he was still able to explain himself to Raidramon. Or in others words Takato and Impmon haven't been labeled an evil threat to all Digimon/humanity but they can potentially be dangerous to the Digidestined.
-Also, for those of you who think I'll just leave our favorite duo smelling roses with Gennai… are you nuts? When have I ever made it that simple… No, no, they have much more to do. Although I won't say anything else because that's just too easy.
-I am planning to deal with ChaosGallantmon a little more and possibly Rika in the next chapter. Not taking votes.
-I am uninspired to do anything on Digital Hearts right now. I was going to start a new story, all char interaction but I hated the first chapter and wiped it clean the other day. Still wanna do it though. Oh yeah, by the time AOF finish proofing this I think I had a pretty good start to this 'new story' only time will tell though. And now… the reviews.
-Oh yeah. I was wondering about this. No one can deny the series is better than the Digimon books, but are the books Canon?
KoTs – Sorry it took so long to update. I really do wanna start a new story, I'm just having a little trouble getting it off the ground. Impmon's got a lot more fun to be had, I haven't even started on the Imp/Gato yet. Thanks for the support, oh loyal reviewer. See ya later.
Newbi – Well he touched on the concept of absorbing data in this chapter, but there's still more to be done in terms of that. Thanks for the review.
Firehedgehog – True, Impmon becoming Takato's partner would be funny, but it creates a lot of complications that would take forever to work through, hence, I'm keeping their relationship as partners at heart only. Thanks for the review.
Arknova – Naw. It'll be a while before Impmon has to really fight the DD. I'm not sure how I'll work that in yet, not really thinking about it at the moment. Guilmon will be in the story at the very end when everything draws to a close. Thanks for the review.
Hitomi no Ryu – I wanna try and keeps a fair amount of reasonableness in the Digidestined that was sadly lacking in the beginning of the last story. But that doesn't mean I want them to all become buddy buddy either. I might touch on Rika and Ruki next chapter as mentioned above, but there's not really a reason to bring either of them in yet apart from introductions. Thanks for the review.
Xeno-Freak – Sorry, didn't receive any E-Mail. As as far as reference pics go. I'm pretty sure the Digital Empire's Digidex has some. Thanks for the review.
QuestionDeca – Well you were close, off by one level. And Gennai's fine, Davis is the one that's going to end up with a headache. Thanks for the review.
Time, Digidestined of Loyalty – Yep, this will have Rika in it as well, although I'm sorry to tell you Ruki will too. Guilmon is… a long ways away. And as for Impmon getting tired of Takato, yeah probably. Unfortunately those two can't survive without each other in the new world. Thanks for the review.
Sora Potter – Heh, yeah were probably going to end up calling CG Tasuka again. I honestly have trouble picturing him as anything else. I really got to tlike that Character in the first story… Thanks for the review.
Peter Kim – Yep yep. That sounds pretty much like what I had in mind. Takato not working with the DD and no more Milleniumon. The only difference is that I intend to keep Chaos Gallantmon hating Takato and Impmon with a vengeance so he probably won't join them at all or at least not for a while. Thanks for the review.
Goldfish demon – Well since Takato's lost pretty much all his data, his sword would've gone away with his wings. Even if it was originally Leomon's he assimilated the data making it his.
Yume Takato – Heh, thanks for the support, see ya.
Bloody Kistune – No, as Izzy said, they were pretty much done. So it was alright for them to leave. Thanks for the review.
Alreadyfallen – Heh, I'm not sure about actually pairing Chaos Gallantmon up with anyone this time, but I do intend to have him interact with the Digidestined. And as for other Tamers, only Rika, Renamon, and possibly Ryo and his partner will show up. Thanks for the review
Sleepy Kitty – Heh, alright, I wasn't intending to have Ruki end up with anyone this time anyway. Well, thanks for the review.
Isumo 1489 – Heh, thanks. See ya next time.
2nd Review: See above.
Lonewalker – Meh, I'm not worried about Impmon, he's not one of my muses. It's Black you have to watch out for.
Black:…?
Regless: Anyway, I wouldn't worry about CG much. I took away his power because he's not in the to be all bloody and dangerous. More… sad and amusing. Thanks for the review.
Goggle head – Eh? Sure, here ya go.
2nd Review: Well I'm not putting the frontier kids in at all, but please be ware I am keeping to the characters. That means Takari, Daikari, Sorato, and Taiora depending on the situations.
Kara - …Bazookas? Where?
Black: I got'em
Regless: o.O I think I'm in trouble. Anyway, Rika might be coming in the next chapter, but now promises. Thanks for the review.
RockFox – Don't worry Gennai's fine. As for the other you mentioned. Rika and Renamon are pretty adaptable, Guilmon on the other hand… well, I don't wanna say what's happening with him. Thanks for the review.
K9 The first – Heh thanks. I'm like Lilo and Stitch too, but I'm not really a fan. Anyway, I'll try and read your story when I get a moment. Ja ne.
No one – Thanks no one. Much oblidged.
AnT- Ah yeah. Sorry the other story was my first, hence, horribly written. And sorry for not reviewing the last to chapter of Digimon Tribute… yet. (They just take a while for me to finish, but I AM reading them and so far they kick ass. Thanks for the review.
Ultra8 - Thanks for the compliment. One of the reviewers for the first chapter I believe said he had all of the original saved. Till next time, take care.
Griff-Star2000 – Oy thanks. The other story started out with a good plot too, but it just got ludicrously drawn out for no good reason. So ya, I like this one so far too. Thanks for the review.
Wolfen Man Unleashed – Na. No Author inserts and no OCs this time either. And yes, many miss my old fic, but I truly believe this one will turn out better. As for the Hazard flying away like metroid, well remember there was more than one point of light, I was thinking more along the lines of Dragon Ball… yes… Dragon ball… either that or Inuyasha. Anyway, thanks for the review, see ya.
Sora Potter – Sorry for the long update time, but me and AOF both gots things going on, you know? Anyway, don't worry, this story is still trucking along. And if I accomplish anything here of it'll be finishing this story… that and proving that Rika always did like Takato more than Ryo anyhow. Bye.
