You should read the Prologue, Chapter 1, and Chapter 1 (cont.) before
reading this. Some might think "Why is she telling us this? We aren't
stupid.", but there were some people who read Chapter 1 (cont.) before
reading the first half of chapter 1!
Everyone went to Henry's house for pizza. They let Guilmon order it. He had been dying to use the phone ever since he first saw one. Big mistake. He ordered 5 pizzas with mushrooms and peanut butter, 2 with sausage and chocolate, and 1 with just pepperoni (Takato made him order that one).
"How are we gonna pay for all these pizzas?" Takato asked Guilmon.
"With this?" Guilmon asked as he pulled out a one hundred dollar bill.
"Where did you get that? Never mind. I don't even wanna know." Takato took the money. The doorbell rang.
"Kids, the pizza's here!"
"Okay mom!" Henry yelled back.
"Aren't you gonna get it?" Rika asked.
"Takato has the money, not me." Henry said.
"Oh yeah."
Takato, Jeri, and Henry were sitting on the couch, Rika and Ryo on the love seat, Kazu on the chair, and Suzie and the digimon on the floor.
"Don't you think it's weird that the Digiworld has been at peace for almost a year?" Kazu asked, his mouth full of pizza. He was eating the peanut butter and mushroom pizza, to make it worse.
"That, Kazu, is gross. Swallow your food before you talk. Didn't your mom ever teach you that, or were you raised by wolves?" Rika looked at him in disgust.
"Really." Henry agreed. "But it is strange.
"Look at the pretty lights!" Suzie exclaimed while looking out the window.
"Pretty lights are never good." Henry said worried.
Everyone's digivice beeped.
"This way!" Takato pointed towards the soccer field.
"You just had to jinx us, didn't you Kazu?" Rika asked
They all ran to the soccer field. Rika looked at the compass on her digivice. "This is definitely it!"
The large gray cloud exploded. Out stepped...
"Beelzemon!" Takato let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't let your guard down, Takato. There's something different about this one." Henry warned.
"His hair! His hair is brown, not blonde!" Rika was the first to notice.
"Terrier tornado!" Terriermon attacked.
"Like that's gonna stop me!"
The battle raged on. Terriermon digivolved to Gargomon, then Rapidmon. He aimed at Beelzemon, who was standing in front of Rika.
"Rapid fire!" Rapidmon shouted.
Beelzemon's plan worked. He stepped out of the way. The bullets headed straight for Rika. She couldn't move. Rika watched the bullets get closer...closer...closer...
"Rika, get out of the way!" Takato yelled.
"I...I can't" Rika screamed.
"Noooo!" Ryo cried. He dived at Rika and pushed her out of the bullets path, just in time to get her out of their path.
Just in time to save Rika. Just in time to save Rika, but not himself. A bullet pierced his chest, just barely an inch from his heart. Another pierced his left leg, another in his right hand.
"Ryo!" Rika cried as she rushed to Ryo's side. Blood was seeping through his shirt and pants. He was out cold. "Ryo, wake up! Wake up, Ryo!" Tears stung Rika's eyes. *I know we're close friends, but I didn't know he cared so much as to risk his own life to save mine.* she thought. "Why did you do this for me, Ryo?" she asked an unconscious body. "Why, Ryo? Why?" [pic]
~Will Ryo make it? Will Rika find out why he cared so much? I guess you'll have to wait for the next chapter!
