Prelude to Chaos

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon so please don't sue. If you do, I have like 50 cents to my name so it wouldn't be worth it. The only thing I own is the story itself, the time I put into it, and my few new characters in later chapters.

Ch 3 - A Knight's Darkest Day

Takato, Rika, Guilmon, and Renamon arrive to find a smoking crater with Henry and Terriermon in it. Seeing this made Rika anger because she has lately actually starting to consider them friends.

"You will pay for what you did to one of my friends, Biomerge activate," Rika yelled. As soon as it is complete, Sakuyamon flies off toward the digimon.

"Rika wait," yells Takato as she flies off. As Rika flies closer the digimon begins to take shape and become clearer. The digimon is a BlackWargreymon, thought Rika.

"Why are you here," ask Sakuyamon angrily with Rika's voice.

"I have come to test the strength of your leader," stated BlackWargreymon.

"Takato, why," asked Sakuyamon again using Rika's voice. Instead of getting an answer, BlackWargreymon charged a Terra Destroyer and slammed it into Sakuyamon. She was severely weakened by the attack because of the type disadvantage. Sakuyamon dedigivolved into Rika and Renamon. Gallantmon appeared right when Rika and Renamon slammed into the ground. Blinded by rage, Gallantmon flies toward BlackWargreymon. They both trade punches for about five minutes. By that time it was evident the BlackWargreymon was winning. With one final blow, Gallantmon was thrown to the ground and dedigivolved into Takato and Guilmon.

"We can't beat him Takatomon," says Guilmon looking at Takato.

"There is one option but it may to soon but we must try," says Takato. There was one thing that puzzled him.

"Why did you attack her," Takato ask BlackWargreymon.

"She was in my way," stated BlackWargreymon.

"WHAT," yelled Takato.

"I came to test my strength and she was in my way," finished BlackWargreymon.

"BlackWargreymon, you said you came to test you strength," asked Takato.

"Yes and it is evident that you are no challenge," BlackWargreymon angrily said.

"If you want a challenge then let me get to my most powerful form," stated Takato.

"As you wish, you're only worth fighting if you are at your strongest," BlackWargreymon said smugly.

"Well then you are in for a treat," Takato said with a new found rage.

"In my hands, I hold the power of light and darkness," Takato says as twin orbs of white and black energy form in his hands. Takato then forces his hands together with sparks flying. "Let the opposites join and new form begin, Balanced Human Protocol Evolution," Takato roar to the heavens as he and Guilmon were engulfed in a blinding light. The light was so powerful that BlackWargreymon had to shield his eyes. As the light faded, a man clad in black and white armor with a shield similar to Gallantmon shield, expect it was ivory white, on his left arm and a set of wings with one being demonic and the other angelic stood in Takato and Guilmon place.

"Who are you," BlackWargreymon asked perplexed. "Is he a digimon," thought BlackWargreymon.

"I am the angelic warrior that has fallen from grace for deciding to fight for no side," the being began to say. "I decided to fight to protect both side and to destroy anyone who tried to harm the balance," the being continued saying. "I am Galliomon, the Chaos Knight and Guardian of the Balance of Light and Darkness," Galliomon finished with a surge of power. BlackWargreymon was pushed back slightly.

"What are you, I have never felt such power," BlackWargreymon sad in terror.

"I am a digimon that has reacted the highest pinnacle of power, there is a recorded that only three possess the power I hold and I am one of them," Galliomon said with dignity.

"You are an Ascended," BlackWargreymon said backing up.

"You wanted a powerful opponent now be ready, appear my armaments, appear Joukai and Jigoku," Galliomon roared to the heavens. As he said this, twin zanpakuto of obsidian and ivory appeared in his hands. Both swords were five feet long and held the chaos symbol which joined the hilt and blade.

"Innocent blood has been spilled," Galliomon said coldly to BlackWargreymon. "Now let darkness cover you, Black Fury," Takato said with a fury like no other. Energy flowed around his blades. Galliomon swung his swords and energy slashes shot out. Black and white slashes cut through BlackWargreymon. The force of the attack knocked him off his feet. After the attack, Galliomon was breathing heavily because it was the first time he use Black Fury. The dust cleared as BlackWargreymon struggled to one knee.

"You may have beaten me but I am not going alone," BlackWargreymon says looking at the crater where Rika still lied.

"No," Galliomon says as he races to Rika as BlackWargreymon dissolves into the air. Rika and Renamon were both in the crater but Rika looked more sever. She was bleeding badly. Galliomon checked her pulse and it was faint. "There is only one way, Energy Wish," Galliomon says as he is engulfed in white and black swirling light. Takato stood in a black void surrounded by darkness.

"What is this," Takato asked.

"This is the void where we must make a decision," Guilmon said as he appeared next to Takato.

"What do you mean boy," asked Takato.

"We were not strong enough for Energy Wish and one of us must pay the price," Guilmon said solemnly.

"I hate to ask but I will bring you back," Takato vowed to Guilmon.

"I know you will Takatomon," Guilmon says as the black void fades. Takato is standing over Rika with a smile on his face. Rika is breathing normally and is starting to awake.

"Rika," Takato said with joy. His happiness was short lived as a sadness enveloped Rika's face.

"Why am I alive, I was finally reunited with my dad," Rika said sadly. Takato was teetering on madness.

"What about everyone that cares about you," Takato says shakily.

"My mom is never home and there is no one else that cares about me," Rika said slowly. With those words, Takato snapped.

"Your mother may not be home a lot but she cares about you, plus, what about your grandmother," Takato said with venom dripping from is mouth. Rika just stared. "Rika you need to open you eyes because there is someone right in front of you that cares about you but you don't even see it," Takato said with a face that would have made Megidramon quake with fear. "Guilmon sacrificed himself to revive you, have fun explaining that to Renamon," Takato said as he started to walk off. He stopped after a few steps and turned his head toward her. "Rika I might care about you but the feelings I had for you is gone and it may never may return," Takato finishes as he walks away. Unknown to Takato, Rika's mind was racing. She had just lost the one person that truly cared about her and hurt him and her partner in one fell swoop. Tears streamed down Rika's face.

"Takato, I'm so sorry," Rika whispered as Takato walked off.


This is the end to Prelude to Chaos. If any people have any comments about Rika's character. I'll read them but I think my character was right on. From the movie, we see she would do just about any thing to be with her father. I don't think it was all Parasimon. There will be a sequal. Any ideas are welcome because its always good to gives the readers the reins every so often. I think it gets the readers into it more. Till next time, The Dark Side of Me signing off.
