Chapter Nine of "Millenniumon's Revenge" by Melinda-chan

"Ken-chan!" Wormmon yelled. Kazu and Kenta went to the station and looked at him.

"He's okay…I think," Kazu said. He then put Ken's head on the side. "He appears just to be out of it."

"Let me see him," Wormmon said. Kenta put Wormmon on the station.

"Ken-chan! Are you alright?" Wormmon questioned.

"You don't suppose that ball of light did something to him?" Kazu asked.

"What was that anyway?" Kenta said. Just then Ken lifted up his head. "Oh Ken!"

"Ken-chan, are you okay?" Wormmon inquired.

"I feel like a lot of information just went inside my head" Ken said. "But I feel so much better now!"

"What was that hit you?" Kazu asked.

"It looked like a ball of light went into you," Kenta said.

"I know why we're here," Ken said. "This is for a tournament."

"A tournament?" Kazu and Kenta both said together.

"What kind of tournament?" Wormmon asked.

"A battle royale," Ken said. "And whoever wins, gets a powerful Digimon."

"What about the losers?" Kazu asked.

"I think they have to find another way to get a Digimon," Ken replied. At that, Kazu and Kenta looked depressed.

"So who's going to compete?" Kazu asked him.

"Everyone that had a Digimon," Ken answered. "Every former Tamer- that's the word it uses- can have the opportunity to compete if they so desire."

"I can't wait to get Guardromon again!" Kazu said.

"As if!" Kenta said. "MarineAngemon can win against anyone!"

"Yeah right!" Kazu said. "My Guardromon had an awesome grenade launch attack! Your MarineAngemon just has a puny bubble attack!"

"That puny bubble attack was enough to defeat Digimon bigger than itself!" Kenta countered.

"I like for us to battle one-on-one then!" Kazu said. "At the battle royale!"

"You're on!" Kenta said. Wormmon turned to Ken.

"Ken-chan, how many people are going to take part?" Wormmon asked.

"I assume that depends on how many people are going to be here," Ken replied. Kazu and Kenta looked at him.

"Besides us, there are four of us" Kazu told him. "We actually had one more, but she couldn't make it."

"Is she sick?" Ken asked him.

"Well, she's actually the younger sister of a team member," Kazu said. "I guess their parents didn't allow her to come."

"What is her name?" Ken questioned.

"Shuichon Lee, I think," Kazu replied. Ken looked down at the panel.

"She lives in Tokyo, right?" Ken questioned.

"Yes" Kazu replied. "Shinjuku to be exact."

"Thanks," Ken said. He then typed on the panel. He then pressed a button.

"What are you doing?" Kazu asked.

"Sending a message to her" Ken answered. "If she can come before the tournament begins, she can participate."

"What happens if she can't come?" Kenta questioned.

"It's worth a shot," Ken said. "We'll have to wait to see when the others show up."

"But we don't have a Digimon" Kenta said. "How are we going to fight without one?"

"A Digimon will be provided to you before the fight begins," Ken said. "The information isn't clear on whether you can choose a Digimon or it's simply provided to you, though it's likely the latter."

"So what happens if you don't win?" Kazu questioned. He then saw Ken looking up ahead. "What is it, Ken?" He then saw what Ken was looking at. "It's Ryo!" Ryo was walking toward Ken.

'Ryo?' Ken thought. 'That's Ryo?'

"Excuse me, but who are you?" Ryo asked him.

It wasn't fair, Shuichon thought as she went into Jenrya's room. She was also a Tamer, but her mother had forbidden her from joining the others. She may be little, but she knew that she could at least help a little bit. Plus, she really wanted to see Antylamon again. It wasn't fair that she would be excluded simply because of her age.

'At least I can play on his computer,' Shuichon thought. She looked all over the computer.

"Now how did Brother turn this on?" Shuichon asked herself. All of a sudden the computer screen turned on. "Ooh!" She then went on the chair and looked closer. "It has a message for me?"

The message reads in English:

Shuichon Lee, you're invited to participate in a Digimon battle tournament. A special Digimon will be the prize. If you decide to accept, please stand in front of the computer and wait. If you don't want to go, please don't stand in front of the computer until a minute later.

Ken Ichijouji

"Wow! A message from the computer!" Shuichon said. She then looked at the screen. "I want to go to the Digital World, and be with Brother and meet Antylamon again! And Mama can't do anything about it!" All of a sudden the computer screen went really bright and…

"Shuichon! Are you in Jenrya's room?" Mrs. Lee yelled. She then entered the room and gasped. Shuichon was no longer in the room. A picture of a happy Antylamon was on the computer screen.

"Hey! It's Jenrya's little sister!" Shuichon then heard a familiar voice say. She then saw a kid dressed in a black T-shirt looking down at her. A boy with glasses also came to her.

"It is her! How are you doing, Shuichon?" the boy with the glasses inquired.

"Um, who are you?" Shuichon questioned.

"She forgot about us already," Kenta said, sighing.

"I'm Hirokazu Shioda or Kazu for short," Kazu said. "This guy's Kenta Kitagawa. We're Takato's friends."

"Oh yes," Shuichon said, suddenly remembering. She then saw a black-haired guy with a green Digimon. "Who is he?"

"He's Ken Ichijouji," Kazu answered. "And you must know Ryo Akiyama. He was with us too."

"Hello Shuichon!" Ryo said. He then turned to Kazu. "Is everyone else going to be here?"

"Oh yeah!" Kazu answered. "I don't know where they are right now, but they're here in the Digital World somewhere." Ken and Ryo then decided to talk to each other.

"So you're Ken Ichijouji?" Ryo asked him.

"Yes I am," Ken answered. "I heard a little about you already too."

"I've seen you in one of my dreams," Ryo said. "We seem to be connected somehow."

"Yes" Ken responded. "I also wonder what's the purpose of this tournament."

"I wondered about that too," Ryo said. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see." All of a sudden a voice was heard.

"Come back here, MarineAngemon!" Takato's shouting caused everyone at the square to look back at him, who was still running. Ken saw a red-eyed boy with goggles running at a little pink Digimon flying toward them.

"Who's he?" Ken asked the others.

"That's Takato," Ryo answered. "And it looks like everyone else is here now too!"

"Brother!" Shuichon yelled. She then ran at him.

"Shui-chon?" Jenrya asked, puzzled. "I thought Mom forbid you from going! How did you get here?"

"Computer took me here," Shuichon said.

"Well, I guess if you were meant to be here…" Jenrya started to say. Takato looked around.

"What is going on?" Takato asked. "It looks like there is going to be a-" He then saw Ken. "- a fight."

'That kid looks like Ken Ichijouji from the Digimon series,' Takato thought. 'But it couldn't be him, right?'

"So what's going on? I think you know what's going on so tell me!" Rukisaid toKazu in a demanding voice.

"All I know is that a tournament is going to be held here soon," Kazu replied defensively.

"Are we all going to take part?" Takato asked.

"It looks that way," Kazu answered.

"But we don't have a Digimon!" Juri protested.

"I think I got one!" Kenta said. MarineAngemon was now flying around him. "I don't know if you're my Digimon I had before but I sure miss him!"

"But why only us?" Ruki asked. "And who the hell is he?" She then pointed at Ken, who looked a bit nervous now.

"Ah…" Kazu started to say when SkullSatamon appeared before them. "Hey! It's that Digimon again!"

"It's time," SkullSatamon said.

End of Chapter Nine

I need a little help from my readers- I want to see what type of Digimon I should pair with the Tamers for the tournament and no, I don't want to pair them up with their old Digimon- if that was the case, I wouldn't have the tournament nowwould I?
