Well people, here's the next chapter to the story. I'm sure that a lot of you have a lot of questions about Rika's Power Suit, but for answers, read both this chapter and some of my replies to my reviewers. Speaking of, let's answer!

Shenq.Long.5000: Really? I've played everything but Metroid DS. Don't worry, I'll get writers block and other problems, but this story won't die.

Digi girl: Glad you like it!

KoumiLoccness: Would you people please give a point to your reviews? There is not and will never be Mimato in this story.

Zeo the OTHER one: I've never heard a truer word.

Evil Maniac: Ridly gets his butt kicked by MegaGargomon, but Gallantmon will go with Sakuyamon. Trust me on this.

Jasin1: No kidding. Especially Rika. Also, remember your Chozo question? Your answer will be in this chapter.

Hunter 1: Thanks for the numbers. While I can't give away details about the phazon question, Rika doesn't wear her Power Suit for bio-merging. Read on and find out.

Shang-Gryphon-Ryoko: You did it again…oh well. Read on!

Thanks everyone! AS always, obey the RRE rule! You should know it by now!

Chapter 6: Alien Surprise

2105 of the Galactic Calendar

Tallon IV

Phendrana Drifts

POV: Renamon

Rika opened the hatch, and Guilmon, Terriermon and I walked through, our tamers behind us.

Before the humans could join us on the other side, however a small machine floated from the ceiling, stared at the three of us, and then sounded an alarm. The hatch closed and locked before Rika or the others could join us.

"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon's fireball hit the machine, sending it careening.

Walls rose from the ground as Space Pirates ran behind them and hid.

Data wrapped around the three of us. Guilmon had Dramon Destroyers around his arms, Terriermon had Thor's Hammer in his paws, and a pale blue fire had appeared on my paws. Thank God our Tamers were still helping us.

We charged. The Pirates held their ground.

Terriermon and I leapt into the air.

"Diamond Storm!"

"Bunny Blast!"

My hail of diamond shards and Terriermon's energy blast covered Guilmon as he raced around the walls and sliced at a Pirate.

Terriermon glided to another. "Hi, meet my little friend!" he shouted as he slammed the hammer in his face.

I just teleported behind another and slammed my fiery paws into is' face. "Power Paw!"

But the Pirates gathered their troops and began to organize themselves. We were having problems trying to hit them, and that was before they started shooting at us.

Fortunately, Henry was way ahead of us, as Terriermon started glowing. "Terriermon Digivolve to…Gargomon!"

The gun bunny cocked his weapons. "Covering fire!" he shouted. "Gargo Laser!"

As Gargomon covered us, Guilmon flanked left and I flanked right. Like hammer and anvil on forged metal, we attacked.

"Rock Breaker!"

"Power Paw!"

The Pirates lay dead at our feet, the hatch unlocked as Rika, Takato and Henry came through, and our weapons disappeared.

We proceeded, killing anything that got in our way. We felt so good that the three of us and Rika started a war game to see who was the better warrior. So far, Rika and I were tied.

We walked into a huge chamber, large enough for two or three Growlmon to stand on each others shoulders and barely reach the ceiling. Two Pirates were waiting for us. Gargomon and Guilmon stood aside as Rika and I charged. In half a minute, both Pirates were dead.

Henry, Gargomon, Takato and Guilmon came and joined us as we looked at the structure in the center of the room.

"That's a holographic generator." Rika said. She looked at Henry. "Brainiac, hit that switch over there."

He did so. As words appeared on the screen before him, he frowned as he read them. "It's missing power from six couplets." He said. "Those four—" he pointed at four rounded structures that looked like they could house a ball at the base of the generator. "—and those two." He pointed at two indents on opposite sides of the circular room.

Rika powered all six, and after a flash of blinding light, the hologram appeared. It was beautiful; a giant sun was in the center with several planets circling it, and circling them was their moons.

Rika pointed at a planet. "We're on that on. Tallon IV." She said. "This is a map of the solar system. Right there—" she pointed at another planet. "—is where Renamon and I first came into this universe…Planet Zebes. That's where we first found the pirates…"

I frowned, still staring at Planet Zebes. Looks like Rika was still troubled by our first events here.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

POV: Samus Aran (aka: Rika Nonaka)

I was so glad that the others couldn't see into my helmet that well. I was crying softly at those stupid memories.

I shake my head and look past the hologram. There was a platform and, if my map wasn't malfunctioning, there was a door on either side of it. "Looks like our way out's up there. Come on."

We jump onto the platform hanging from the ceiling. In the center was a gadget that my suit scanners identified as the Super Missile. Once again, I touch it with my left hand, letting my suit absorb it and send it to my arm cannon.

Right then, my radio crackled. "Samus."

I must have scared the others when I jumped a foot into the air.

"Gogglehead?" I hissed. "What are you doing? I'm in the middle of a Pirate base!"

"I am aware of this, Samus." Replied my ship's computer. "I am using a secure frequency. I have been scanning the Chozo lore that you have recorded throughout your journey, and I have found an interesting discovery."

"Please let it be worth my time." I growled.

"I guarantee it. It seems that the Chozo foresaw you coming to Tallon IV."

"No surprise there."

"No, but it seems that they foresaw your friends as well."

"What?" I asked, wide-eyed.

"I'll send you my find. Prepare to receive data."

"Rika, what's going on?" Takato asked.

"My ship's computer contacted me. It says that the Chozo were aware of you."

"How is that possible?" Renamon asked.

"The Chozo have always been good at foresight." I said dismissively. "I've found marking saying they saw me coming to Tallon IV to rid them of a Great Poison. I guess the markings that the computer found were one of those that I scanned before I had to run. Let's see…

"'Again we see the Hatchling, this time clearer than ever. But this time we see five others with her. Two of the five are humans, both male. One is the strange yellow creature that we that was with her before we found her. A large red lizard is next to one of the males while a small cream-colored creature is next to the other. We see the three creatures becoming larger ones in time of danger. They have fought with each other and know each other's strengths and weaknesses. Though our seers are blinded, they believe that this sight is true. We have made weapons for the other humans, the same armor that we made for the Hatchling. Though no as strong as the Hatchling, enhanced as she is, they shall be powerful. Together, they shall rid Tallon IV of the Great Poison.'"

Seconds past in silence before I opened my comm., but letting the others hear our conversation. "Gogglehead, can you—?"

"Scan the Phendrana region and locate any signals similar to your Power Suit, yes, I already have and found two separate signals close to your position. The Pirates call the area the Skyway."

"Thanks Gogglehead. I have some Pirate Data for you, prepare for system dump."

"Receiving now…download complete. Good luck, Samus. And be careful. I've been monitoring Pirate comm channels and they believe that Orpheon's crash had something to do with you. They're not sure, but they've got security posted at the Skyway."

"Thanks Gogglehead. Samus out."

"Rika, what do the Chozo mean when they say you're enhanced?" Takato asked.

"When they found me, the Chozo saw that I wanted revenge for losing Renamon, so they trained me to be a warrior. As well as crafting the suit I'm wearing, they fused their blood with mine." I explained. "That fifteen foot jump I made earlier? Without my suit, I can jump half that height easily. The fusion accelerated my strength, speed, agility and coordination. The Power Suit doubles all of those."

The others were staring in amazement.

"Come on, let's go find that armor." I opened the hatch and we continued onward.

We found an elevator shaft and took it up. Gargomon was just glad that it wasn't a turbolift.

At the hatch, Renamon paused. "What is it?" I ask.

"There's something on the other side." She said.

"Pirates." I said simply. "Remember?"

"Different from the Pirates we've already battled." She continued.

"They still smell like Pirates." Gargomon added, his nose wrinkled as is he had just smelled a skunk. "But it also smells like metal and smoke."

"Pirates…metal…smoke…" I muse. "Crap. That can only mean Flying Pirates. Be careful. Try to get completely rid of them. If you just disable them, they try to kamikaze attack you."

I turned to the boys. "You'd better stay here. This will get ugly."

With that, I opened the hatch and Renamon, Guilmon, Gargomon and I walked through.

Immediately, two Space Pirates activated their jet packs and attacked with blasters and missiles. We divided and took them on one-to-two, me and Renamon, Gargomon and Guilmon.

I sent a Super Missile into one; damaging it and stunning it long enough for Renamon to teleport behind it and hit it with a Power Paw, sending it to the ground. She then finished it with a Diamond Storm, which exploded his jet pack.

Guilmon sent a Pyro Sphere into the other Pirate, stunning him long enough for Gargomon to leap in the air and slam his guns into it, yelling "Bunny Pummel!" The Pirate fell from the sky and landed hard, but it got back up and took to the air again.

Six white wings appeared on Guilmon's back and he also took to the air. The Pirate shot it's blasters at him, but the shot splashed off of him like water.

Guilmon's claws caught fire. "Rock Breaker!" he slammed the claws into the Pirate, which sent him towards Gargomon.

"Gargo Laser!" The lasers struck the Pirate's jet pack and detonated it.

I sighed before I opened my map and began to study the signals before I jump up to a window. "Renamon, let the boys out."

As Renamon opened the hatch, I studied the room I was in. I was circular with a window on the left side and a bomb slot in the center. I rolled my eyes as I noticed this. Typical bird people.

AS I activated the slot, Renamon and Guilmon brought the boys up. When the bomb went off, it activated two tiles in the floor and raises them. As I expected, inside each was a jumpsuit and a card, one green, one red.

I grab the jumpsuits and hand them to the boys. "Shed you're clothes and get into these. Let me know when you're finished." I said. "Come on, Renamon."

We girls left while the boys changed. When they finished, we came back in and found Takato wearing his red jumpsuit that fit all over his body, complete with built-in gloves and boots. It showed off his muscles quite nicely.

I blushed when I thought that.

Oh, and Henry had the same thing, except it was green. "Uh, Rika? What are these?"

"They're jumpsuits for your Power Suits." I explain. "I have one under my Power Suit, except its blue. Most comfortable thing I've ever worn."

"You have one to?" Takato asked, blushing slightly. I swear, if he's thinking what I think he's thinking, he's going to die.

"And what are these?" Henry asked, holding up the green card that came with his jumpsuit.

"That's part of your Power Suit. You have to slash it through your D-Power. Treat it like a modify card, except say Power Suit."

Henry looked at me strangely before turning to Takato. I noticed that Takato already had his gold D-Power out and red card in hand. Henry shrugged and pulled out his green D-Power.

They slashed their cards through their D-Powers with their usual poses, yelling "Digi-modify! Power Suit, Activate!"

The screens of their D-Powers lit up and both items started to glow. They broke down into data and spiraled together before formatting onto the boys. It created armor looking exactly like mine, except for color. An explosion of light, and the process was finished. In front of the Digimon and me were Takato and Henry, clad in Chozo armor!
