Davis's Opening Narration: So Kenta and Melissa have decided to make their relationship official. Kazu and Peggy are getting along better. Henry told Kazu about the digimon, to which he took it better than I was expecting. Takato, Rika, and Henry seem like they finally have gotten less angry with each other. Yamaki has also caused a strange door way to open that is starting to concern even me. Not only that but he has made a creation that made this door way even possible and actually seems worse than the door way itself. We are also seeing a little more of Impmon and Calumon. Whatever happens I hope that the group can put their differences aside and work together for the greater good.
Chapter 10: War of Devas (Part 1):
Yamaki's Confession
Takato was trying to think of how he could get his friends out of the area so he, Henry and Rika can deal with this new threat. "Guys, if you don't mind, I will be taking care of getting everybody out of here." Takato said as Henry and Rika looked at him. Trying to see if he was just saying that to get out of the area or not.
"Okay fine. As long as you come back and help us in this fight. I have a feeling that we really are going to need as much help as we can in this one. The way that they look. Even though we can't see it fully, the presence of it feels..." Rika was saying as Renamon told her to stop saying what she was going to say. Which made Takato wonder if they knew what was going on and they didn't want to scare the group or something like that.
"Thanks a ton guys. I will be back as soon as I can. Right after all these people are taken out of the area." Takato said and started walking over to Kenta when Impmon and Calumon made themselves noticed.
"Calumon is just following me around for no real big reason. But if you need me to help the fight or something like that while you are taking care of that, then I can." Impmon said as if trying to imply that they really wanted to have some purpose. Takato didn't really get it at first what the context was. Because he mainly wasn't even thinking about it.
"You are nowhere even close to powerful enough. Please don't get yourself into trouble like this. I don't want to be responsible for anything that happens." Takato said and left the two weak digimon there. Impmon looked at Takato annoyed, and this started their eventual despisement to the man.
"Yeah like you are any better." Impmon muttered underneath their breath and told Calumon that there was no point in them staying the area anymore. "We are not wanted. At least to that jerk." Impmon started to walk away and Calumon followed a few seconds later. Despite not being the smartest mind, they had a feeling this wasn't Takato's context.
With Takato reaching Kenta, he decided that he was going to be as gentle with the man as he could possibly be. Knowing that since it had been a few days since his sisters death, he shouldn't try to push anything.
"Kenta, do you mind if you get away from this area. I feel really wrong already if something happened to you. I wouldn't want your mother to learn that something happened to you and your sister so soon after each other." Takato said and Kenta looked over. As if for just a moment he actually forgot about the fact that his sister was dead. Maybe that he had a sister to begin with.
"Yeah maybe you are right. I will be heading out as soon as possible." Kenta said not even looking at Takato for just a couple of seconds. Then he got over that little bit and decided to look at Takato face to face.
"Sorry for not looking at you. I was just thinking about something else. About me and Melissa." Kenta said and took something out of his pocket. "I don't why I feel this way, but I have a feeling that you will need something. Not just something, but that you will need this." Kenta said and handed it to Takato.
For a second, Takato decided to examine it. Checking what exactly it was. It looked like one of the digimon playing cards. What made him confused was the fact that it wasn't a digimon or a power boost of any type, but instead something just blue. "Thanks I guess. I won't lose it." Takato said as he put the card in his pocket. He had no intention to use it, but he knew he had to keep it for Kenta's sake.
"Thanks Takato, I will be heading out now." Kenta said and started heading away. "Probably hang with Melissa again."
So with that taken care of, Takato knew that he had to deal with the other people there. He would go for Kazu first.
Meanwhile, when Takato was dealing with that, Henry and Rika were trying to find out what this was and what they were going to do. Since there was no way that they could fight it if they had no idea what it was or if the size of the thing was just over blown by the shadows.
"Terriermon, I really hate to fight. You know that already probably better than everybody else. But if worse comes to worse, we need to fight and I need to over look my personal thoughts on the matter." Henry said and Terriermon was liking the fact that Henry had been 'growing up' lately.
"I like how you are starting to see how sometimes these are just unavoidable. Shows me that you know that this thing is serious and we have to treat it as such." Terriermon told Henry and for the first time since possibly ever, he saw that Rika was the one that didn't want to fight.
"Rika, if we don't do this, then the city might be destroyed. I thought that you were the one that loves to fight." Henry was saying to Rika and she looked at him. She took a deep breath and nodded.
"I guess you are right. I was trying to let the fact that this is possibly the most powerful thing I have faced yet sink in. Since I have battled a ton of really tough enemies." Rika said and she started to get something out of her pocket. Henry knew that it was just one of her cards, so he didn't comment any on it.
"Yeah we have faced some pretty bad enemies before. Such as IceDevimon. That one actually did scare me when I saw it." Henry started to pull one of his cards out as well. They took the time to look at the cards they each pulled out so they can make sure they had the advantage regardless of what they did get.
"So you got a power boosting card out and I got a speed boosting card out. Maybe I can use my card to make Terriermon go even faster and that can distract the enemy while you go in with a powerful attack." Henry said and looked at Rika to see if she liked the idea.
"I guess that this can work. I just hope that it does." Rika said and Henry agreed silently. But he didn't say anything out loud because he was worried that they would both not to do anything else.
"Okay, let's do this." Henry told her and they both swiped their cards in unison. "Digimodify!" They both yelled at the exact same time afterwards.
When that happened, the monster revealed itself. It was a large tiger like being with shields on their legs and had some wings along with their shield legs. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that it covered up half the length of a pretty tall building. The good thing about this encounter is that it taught Henry and Rika both that size shouldn't define how much power it has. Since while this was certainly a challenge, it wasn't really bad as their later challenges
Terriermon started using its new speed boost to get at the digimon really fast. While Renamon waited for just a couple seconds until Terriermon was up there and then they would come along and then help out.
"Mihiramon, ultimate level digimon. Servant of one of the great sovereigns." Rika's digivice said to the two of them when it had finally examined the power of this.
While that was going on, Yamaki was staring out a window. Not really know what exact he should say or do. Since he had seen that he had quite possibly screwed up royally.
"I wish some of the things that I make wouldn't bite me in the butt so hard. This is just terrible." Yamaki was saying and Riley walked into the room. Looking at Yamaki's horrified but amazed face. Since he had both expressions playing in his head equally.
"Yamaki, please tell me the truth. How do you feel about this? Do you feel the least bit terrible for this?" Riley asked her boss and Yamaki had a deep breath sounding like he was on the urge of yelling at her for asking him how he felt about anything.
"Maybe just a little bit. Not even for me to really try and do anything about it I will admit. But enough for me to know that I messed up ad that shouldn't try and make something like this ever again." Yamaki answered and Riley stood there waiting for more.
"Do you feel bad just because of that? Or do you feel bad for the fact that you have messed up some of these kids lives because they will now be too busy trying to take care of your mess? Because I feel those are who you should feel bad for. Not the failure inside of yourself." Riley said and right as Yamaki was going to give her the rant of the century, he stopped and thought of the face of one of the kids.
"Perhaps I do feel a little bad. For one of these kids in particular." Yamaki said and was still staring out the window as he said that. Although he would go away from there soon enough.
"Who in particular?" Riley asked thinking of perhaps Henry. Since Yamaki knew his father before as a friends or maybe Takato for how much they had butted heads with each other.
"My son. Now go away. Leave me alone to think to myself." Yamaki actually sounded like he was close to tears there. Riley stood there for just a second before leaving the room. She didn't want to get him more angry by standing there.
"What did he say?" One of Riley's coworkers asked several minutes later when Riley was finally back at her work place.
"Yamaki has a son." Riley said and that was the end of the short lived conversation.
In his room, Yamaki was actually thinking to himself on what to say now. "I wish I can be with you again. I have seen you a couple times, but from afar. I haven't been able to talk to you at all. The last time I seen you was when you were walking home a year ago with that one kid. That kid with the Guilmon... Oh my god, my son is friends with Guilmon's tamer. Maybe that kid is better than I thought then. If my son is able to hang out with him perfectly fine. Oh my boy, if only I can see you again." Yamaki said and looked at a gun in his drawer. The same one he killed Julie with. For just a second, he almost considered using the gun on himself. But he decided against it. As it would go against his wishes of his son.
When Yamaki was having this moment to himself, Takato was talking to the non tamers. To convince them that they needed to get out of that area as soon as possible. "Kazu, don't you perhaps want to see Peggy again? Maybe form a real relationship with her? Digimon are real. You were right this whole time. But you don't have to stay here any longer." Takato was saying to Kazu and after he stood there for a couple seconds, he started to consider Takato's offer.
"Yeah maybe you are right. Maybe I should get out of this area. I don't think I can ever be able to help you on something like this. I would probably just get in the way. However, hanging with Peggy again, I don't think I ever could." Kazu was saying when he shook his head like crazy. Not wanting to face his demons or problems but knowing that he probably would have to.
"It will work." Takato said and Kazu shook his head and left Takato alone there. Kazu was almost certain that there was nothing in a relationship with Peggy that would work. But he was starting to perhaps... fall for the woman. As hard as it was to admit for him and as much as he didn't want to say it. Since it just felt so wrong for him to say he was falling for a female despite hating them a couple weeks ago.
"I will just leave." Kazu said as he left. Trying to think about what his next choice should be on his own and without the help of anybody else.
Takato then decided to go for Jeri next since she was right next to Kazu. Although a couple feet away and not directly next to him. Not that it really mattered.
Anyways, after Takato reached Jeri, he put his hand on her shoulder. As if getting her attention. She looked around and saw him. "Oh hey Takato, are you surprised to be seeing this?" She started the conversation and Takato nodded and then shook his head back to back.
"Sort of. But the thing is that I already know what is going on. I have had this digimon partner for a while now and that was the real reason I was trying to get your advice on helping my big friend. Since it did something called digivolution and became really big. Sorry I had to lie to you. I feel terrible over it." Takato was saying and Jeri nodded.
"You don't to say anything else. Maybe that is why you guys talk about digimon so much. Because you guys had one this whole time. Now it makes sense." Jeri was saying and Takato shook his head. Since that part wasn't exactlt true. At all.
"No that was just because Kazu, Kenta and I really liked the game. I'm the only one of the three to have a digimon. They had no idea these things existed until this little thing right no." Takato was telling Jeri and she nodded. As if feeling bad for being wrong even though she really didn't need to. She had no idea that they played the game for the sake of liking it. She thought it was just boy stuff and they were only playing it because of that.
"Well I guess I should wish you luck on whatever that thing is." Jeri said and looked at Takato's face.
"I probably should stay out of the area. I really don't want you to get hurt here. Having a digimon makes it my responsibility to make sure that the humans are safe from these types of things." Takato said and Jeri seemed like she wanted to stay. "Please Jeri, I really mean it. I don't want you to be here. You really can get hurt. This is no longer a game." Takato looked at Jeri's eyes and saw just how great they really looked on her. "I will see you again very soon. In the next couple hours. If it makes you feel better, I can come to your house after it's done to show you."
Jeri put her head on Takato's shoulder and did something a little naughty. She placed her hand right where Takato's balls would be. Mainly to see if she was making him have one. Turns out she was and that made her feel a little happier.
"Okay, I will do just that." Jeri said as she gave Takato a wink. She knew she was a little dirty some times. But she was just a teenager, this was her job.
"Wow, I never expected that." Takato said when she had been away for a couple seconds. In fact, Takato checked it out in his pocket to see if it was still there. It was which made him groan. "I need to get under control." Takato then went over to Dwight and Cameron to tell them that they needed to get out of the area. After that, he can finally start helping in the real important stuff.
He walked quickly over to Dwight and Cameron. "I already told Cameron this, but I guess it really doesn't matter if I tell you or not Dwight. Because by now it's right there in front of you. The digimon being real I mean." Takato told Dwight and he looked at Takato before looking at the being that was going to now attack the city.
"That is quite easily the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life. I don't even get how something like this is possible. Can you please explain it to me Takato?" Dwight was saying and Takato felt conflicted on how he should react to that question.
"I can explain this to you. But can you wait until tomorrow? Everything will be explained then. Trust me. I will not do this without telling you. You deserve to know." Takato said to Dwight and looked over at Cameron.
"So this is what you have been doing with your partner all this time? Fighting evil to make sure that it doesn't get into the city and wrec it completely." Cmaeron said and Takato nodded. He knew that this was a lot to learn at once but he thought that if anybody could take it, it could be Cameron.
"Can you and Dwight please get out of the area That way Henry, Rika and I can have a easie time fighting this thing. So we don't have to worry about some humans getting in the way of the battle." Takato said in response and Cameron looked around and then back at the ground.
"I will do it. Dwight, come along with me." Cameron said to Takato in a voice that was telling him that he owed him one.
"I know I do." Takato said under his breath when the two guys left him alone. After leaving Takato and therefore the area, he looked at the other two fighters to decide how he should come in to help.
"So what is this one called?" Takato asked Rika as he had ran right at her side. Rika looked at Takato and gave him the answer he wanted.
"The digimon is called Mihiramon. We have been fighting them for a couple minutes." Rika told him and Takato decided to watch for a moment. He saw Terriermon hitting the Mihiramon with weak but really fast attacks. While these faster attacks got Renamon the chance to use their more powerful, slower attacks. It took about a minute or so after Takato showed up for the digimon to finally have enough of Terriermon and Reamon. This was shown when they grabbed the two digimon like they were nothing and threw them right on the ground.
"This is becoming too hard to watch. Takato, get in there with your partner. You guys are here now, so you need to start helping now." Henry said and Takato nodded in agreement to Henry. Even if he really didn't want to do any fighting, he knew that it needed to be done.
"Well, if I am going to be joining you, I think we should all bring our partners to champion level." Takato said and all three of the partners met together near each other and after doing so, they all started to digivolve. First was Terriermon to become Gargomon. Second was Renamon to become Kyubimon. The last one was Guilmon to become Growlmon. This was the order that they had first gotten their champions.
"Well now that this is done, let's get back in the battle field." Gargomon decided and they ran towards the Mihiramon and started shooting bullets out of their gun shooter. Kyubimon started shooting out diamonds at the back of the Mihiramon while Growlmon was shooting fire balls on their legs to make them harder to move around.
However when it seemed like they were actually winning, Mihiramon had found their stride and over powered Kyubimon and Gargomon. The first of which was Gargomon. They defeated the bunny by using their tail and flinging Gargomon around like a little doll. After five or six hits on the ground, they threw Gargomon on a building wall and they seemed to be getting up. But instead of fighting again, they were going to Henry.
"I hate fighting." Gargomon said as they had returned to Terriermon. Henry nodded and he grabbed a hold of Terriermon.
As Henry was holding Terriermon, Kyubimon was struggling fighting against Kyubimon further. They were able to shot out a couple of more diamonds but that wasn't enough as soon after the second extra wave came, Mihiramon jumped on Kyubimon and the impact the two made was so intense that Kyubimon flew back a bit. Right onto Rika in fact who tripped down and had Kyubimon lying on top of her.
"Sorry for doing that." Kyubimon said as he went back to Renamon. He stared at Rika and tried to get up. Rika helped him up and he stared at his human master. "You've grown up so much the last few hours." Renamon said and Rika nodded and Renamon looked at Henry and Terriermon.
So while Renamon and Terriermon were now down, Takato started to get angry. Not at Henry or Rika. But at the fact that this invasion was even happening. "Growlmon, destroy this monster!"
"I'm trying Takatomon. But they're much too strong for just me at my power level." Growlmon told Takato and that just made him even more angry. He now was starting to hate everything about this.
"Well then, we can make you more powerful." Takato said sounding a little bit like Rika at that moment. Growlmon didn't want to know what Takato had meant so to make Takato less angry they started to attack Mihiramon again. By swiping their claws and then breathing fire on those scratch marks. Mihiramon didn't seem too fazed with this. In fact, they left two large scratches on Growlmon on their chest that left out really well.
"I can't believe I'm seriously going to try and use this." Takato said and grabbed that blue card that Kenta gave him. He swiped it right through the digivice. For a second everything seemed normal and Takato felt like he should have known better. Then the crazy stuff happened. Growlmon started to glow. Not only that, but they were digivolving.
"Growlmon Matrix Digivolve to... WARGROWLMON!" Growlmon and grew even larger. Not only that but they had metal arms that looked like blades. Their body was also much wider as is they had gained a couple hundred pounds. Their legs were smaller but that was the only body part that seemed smaller. On their back were some things that looked like missile shooters. It was kind of like a robot and Growlmon had combined.
Mihiramon must have known that they were screwed by this point. As was shown when they were just trying to put damage on it by biting the armor. "I never expected this." Takato was saying and neither did Henry or Rika.
"Maybe it was because you sounded angry enough to get your point across." Henry was trying to come up with a possible explanation. Rika glanced at Renamon real quick after that as if remembering the events of the past with Rika talking so much about digivolution but it never happening.
"No wait I think I get it. You know that blue card. It allowed you to digivolve." Rika said after thinking about it. She seemed almost a hundred percent certain this was the case.
"Let's get this fight over with." WarGrowlmon decided and just swung their left arm around. This caused to make a large cut in Mihiramon and that led the digimon just standing there for a moment. Then they exploded. After the explosion was a strange event though. A loud voice speaking to the three tamers and their partners that can be heard across the city.
"You have defeated the first of my devas. There are eleven more of them that I will be sending to you. Don't get comfortable. More attacks will be coming and very soon to. Get ready." The voice said and Takato was able to see at the very last second that the shadow of the thing was like a large bird. Maybe red or something This made Takato even more curious. He wondered how powerful it was and how much effort it would take to fight it. After the voice said everything above, they had vanished and left the city alone again.
"Well regardless we did win this time. Let's get rest while we can. I have a feeling that we are going to have to work together from now on if we want to save the city from further attacks." Henry said to the two other tamers and agreeing with him silently, they started walking away in their own directions. Mainly towards their own houses. So they can get a good night sleep.
Later Takato had reached Jeri's house because he remembered the promise that he had made Jeri about telling her that he was okay after this whole thing had been calmed down. Once he arrived at the house, he knocked there for a couple times and waited a while for her to finally answer.
It took about thirty or so seconds but he finally had the answer he wanted from her. When she answered the door for a second he thought that there was a tear coming down her eye. Takato was tempted to ask her about it, but he realized that it might not have been his business.
"Just wanted to tell you that I made it out alright. Although I am super tired." Takato gave her his assurance and he started to walk away. Then Jeri started to call for him after he was close to leaving the area. He turned around to see her face and understand why she called him.
"What is going on now? I thought you wanted me gone." Takato said and Jeri shook her head. She actually stepped out of her house and closed her door. Then she walked up to him as if trying to bring him closer.
"Let's take a walk." Jeri said and Takato nodded in agreement. Takato suggested the park but Jeri disagreed and told him there should be no objective and they stop when they feel like they should. So it can be as small as five minutes. Or as much as a hour. After hearing this idea Takato istantly agreed and they started to walk along.
Jeri's father was seeing through his window this whole thing happen. He didn't like the idea of it, but he was being quiet about it. He didn't want to get Jeri in trouble or anything like that. Although he wanted to make sure his child was safe under all cases, he couldn't make a scene of this in public.
As Takato and Jeri were walking along, Takato was telling her about how it went. "I was scared for a bit. I won't lie. I thought that there was nothing I can do to stop this monster. Sorry for not telling you about these any earlier."
"What was your reaction when you first got Guilmon?"
"I was worried. The look they gave me made me think that they were wanting to eat me alive. Then they gave me a new nickname that while at first I didn't like, I have been used to now. That nickname is Takatomon." Takato explained his first feelings of Guilmon to Jeri.
"How did you find out Henry and Rika had one also?"
"Rika wanted to battle me with hers so she can get its data or something like that. Henry came in and stopped this from happening. Two rather basic events I would say but they were enough for me to get it. These things were real and I wasn't just a one time fluke."
"How often do you hang out with Guilmon?" Jeri asked in a voice that was showing her worry that he was going to abandon it.
"I come around or at least try to see it every day. There are obviously days where that doesn't happen, but what can I do about it? It's just that I have to fit everything in a certain time and that I only twenty four hours every day means I have to make sure everything is well placed." Takato answered Jeri's question and Jeri didn't make a response to that particular answer.
"I don't really know how I would be able to handle this if I had a partner of my own. Makes me curious how you do it. Although one may argue you sort of just answered that question." Jeri was saying and Takato could tell that Jeri didn't feel so good as she was saying that.
"Is there a problem?" Takato asked Jeri and she remained silent for a little bit.
"Just thinking of my father. He doesn't want me to do anything right now. He's always afraid that something is going to happen to me and I just feel like he doesn't ever give me space. He won't let me become my own woman. Sometimes I just stand it." Jeri was saying as Takato was thinking about what she was saying.
"How old is your father if you don't mind me asking?"
"Fifty one. Why are you asking?"
"Just wondering. That means he had you when he was thirty eight. Did he ever have a kid before you. Because that seems to be a little old to be having your first child." Takato was saying as the oldest parents he knew about when they had their first child was about twenty five to twenty six. Well that's not true. His father was twenty eight when he was born.
"No he never had a child before me as far as I am concerned. That may be why he is so concerned about my safety. Since I have always heard from people that the first child is the one that people always try to protect the most since that is the first one that they had. I don't know how true that usually is, but I guess I have to believe it." Jeri said and then looked at Takato with a new smile on her face. "Thanks for listening to me all this time. Makes me feel a whole lot better. Really it does. But I think this is the time I will leave you."
With that Jeri started to walk away from Takato. He stared at her a little while longer while she was walking off. To make sure she was at least in his sight for a little longer and if something crazy happened. After Jeri was gone for a while, Takato then started to walk to his own house. He had been out way too late this night.
It was a little earlier than that time when Henry had knocked on his girlfriend Courtney's door. He waited there for a minute or so before she did answer the door though. "What are you wanting to do Henry here?" Courtney asked confused when she saw him at her door. Henry must have obviously come to his house before stopping by there because he changed his clothes entirely. He had a full on suit and in his pocket was a condom. She didn't see that but Henry stole it from his dads drawer because he had been planning this for some time.
"I was wondering if you wanted to move to the next step in our relation?" Henry was suggesting to Courtney and she got what he meant after he looked down at his lower part and then at hers. When she saw what he meant, she seemed shocked at first but after a moment of shock she seemed alright with the idea.
"Sure let's go right ahead. Let's be quiet though. That way our parents don't hear us." Courtney said in response and they got inside the house quietly. He followed her up to her room where right away they closed the door. They waited maybe ten or seconds in silence but after that they started to take their clothes off. Henry put the condom on as well and they went on her bed and for the next ten to fifteen minutes, participated in their very first making love experience.
After they were done, they were both under her blanket and excited over the fun they just had. "I don't regret dating you at all. That was amazing." Courtney said to Henry as Henry smiled in a 'I try' face.
"Stay here for the night. Don't worry about what your parents say. All teenagers sneak out eventually." Courtney said in a way that was suggesting they were going to do it again.
"No that was just a one act thing. I just wanted to see how it felt. I don't want anything to happen. Maybe when something happens that's really big, we can do it again, but not right now. I just got through a life dangering situation and that was sort of my reward for it." Henry responded and put his clothes back on. He then put the used condom in his pocket so he can throw it away in the trash on his way home so nobody would notice. "Thanks for having me over." Henry told Courtney as he slipped out the window and started walking home.
At that very time, Rika was asleep. So this little bit has nothing to do with what she was doing, but more what she heard.
Renamon was walking down the hall really quietly. To not wake up Rika or the other people in there. But that didn't matter as Rika's grand mother was already awake doing some personal stuff. Such as drinking tea.
"I have been waiting for you to show yourself." Rika's grand mother said and told Renamon to come closer. Not wanting to but not being able to escape it, Reamon did get closer to the woman and he sat down worried she was going to give him a huge rant.
"I heard you and my grand daughter talking to each other. Don't worry I won't lecture you. In fact I am going to give you my blessing. You are her guardian angel." Rika's grand mother was saying and Renamon seemed confused for a second. Thinking that they had already gotten their purpose and being confused.
"Why do you call me that? I was just assigned to protect her if anything ever happened to her. I doubt that's really all guardian angel if that is my job." Renamon tried to take Rika's grand mothers compliment back. But then her grand mother shook her head. In a way that telling Renamon that he clearly doesn't have enough knowledge on real life things.
"That is what a guardian angel is. Somebody that is assigned in some way to protect them. They must do all that they can to protect this person or animal. I just never would have expected that my grand daughters would be a fox. But then again it makes sense. Considering my sights of digimon." Rika's grand mother said and Renamon tilted his head sideways.
"Yes, when I was a very young girl, even younger than Rika, I was out at my parents yard doing flowers. For just a second I saw a man in his twenties fighting a digimon to save the world. Want to know who that was? The creator of the digital world himself. Davis Smith. I couldn't believe I had met the much famed man. Because if you had no idea, in the last twenty to thirty years of the nineteenth century, digimon and news about it were all over the place. Then in nineteen eighteen, after the first world war was over, Davis cut the gate to the digital world. Banning all access to it. He said he didn't want anybody to try and use digimon for ther power if a war like that happens again." Rika's grand mother told Renamon and then gave a bit more details. "The government has done their best to erase all files of that so people will deny their existence."
"What year did you find him?"
"I think he was about twenty six, so 1879. That also is the year his first biological child, Senshi Patrick was born." Rika's grand mother gave Renamon enough of a history lesson for now.
"You should probably head out now. I need to get some sleep myself. Thanks for listening." Rika's grand mother said and Renamon was dismissed. He stood up and started to walk out of the room. He would have under normal plans walk out of the house for a little stroll now, but after that talk, he decided against it and walked back to Rika's room. He needed to protect Rika under all cases.
The next day at school Takato was just having classed as normal. Although at first period, Takato noticed that Jeri had a white ball with her along with everything else at gym class. She could tell that Takato was confused by that with his face tilted side ways and a odd smile.
"Oh yeah that is just something I found over the weekend. It's a base ball. I don't plan on using it. I just like walking with it. If you looked hard enough, you would have seen that I had it with me last night at that one event." Jeri explained and Takato's odd smile got a little smaller. It made some sense but he still didn't quite get it.
At the next class period, when the teacher was out of the room, his classmates came up to him. By his classmates he meant Kenta, Kazu, Jeri, Cameron and Dwight. Since it happened that they were all in that class.
"What do you and Guilmon do every day? I'm just curious." Kazu started the topic and Takato seemed to not know what to say.
"We just normally screw around. We don't really do that much. Not that we really have to do anything. Sometimes we have to fight a battle but that is actually kind of rare." Takato answered and he realized pretty quickly how stupid that 'rare' comment was. Considering how many battles he had.
"Can we hang out with them after school today?" Kenta asked as all the others looked at him excited. Totally expecting him to say yes to their question.
At first he was going to say no, but then he thought of it for a second. "I guess a hour or two won't hurt. They haven't really hung out with other people besides Henry and Rika though. So I doubt that they will really know how to be ready to hang out with you all."
"That's okay. As long as we see it I will be fine." Cameron assured Takato and he was growing to hate this idea the more he thought of it. If something bad happened, it will be all their fault. Okay maybe that was too far.
"If the card game is called Tamers, shouldn't you, Rika, and Henry call yourselves that?" Dwight suggested as Takato thought of that offer.
"I guess that the idea of the game and our real life situation kind of makes sense with it." Takato responded and Jeri made her own comment.
"You have really grown more into a man these last couple weeks. I can just see it with your tone of voice." She pointed out as everybody started laughing at her comment. She didn't respond to their laughing response.
When the teacher came back, everybody stopped their talking and went back to their work. Takato gave some of his paper work that he had been doing the last week over the last quarter lately to the teacher so she can grade them. "Wow, nice job Takato. This might actually boost up your grade by more than a couple small points."
After she said that third period went by like a breeze and when Takato went to lunch, he noticed something odd. Kazu was talking to one of the bullies from earlier. The oldest one of which and the head one, Max. Takato sat down next to Kazu but far enough away so he wouldn't notice Takato being there. That way he can hear the whole thing.
"Max, can you give me some advice. I'm really sorry for beating you up earlier. I was just over taken by some negative thoughts." Kazu said and Max seemed to be surprised over his apology attempt.
"Of course I will listen to you. It sounds like you are actually really sincere." Max said and Kazu took a huge sigh of relief over that. This was when his redemption truly begun.
"It's about Peggy. No fuck that. It's about ALL women. Please help me get over my evil thoughts on thinking women are the worst things in the universe. You have dated so many women in your life that I feel like you will understand what I need to know. I know that over my life time, I have been a fucking cruel, sick, sexist, asshole. But now, I really want to change. I mean this one hundred percent. Help me get through this. Please, as a man to man... help me." Kazu said in genuine remorse over his anger towards females and in genuine wanting to change.
"Oh course, I will do my best to help you through this. I had no idea you really wanted to change. I think we should try and get started right away. Right from the top on learning why you do this type of stuff. I mean feel this type of way." Max was saying and Kazu nodded as if showing he was going along with Max here.
"When I was a kid, I was thrown into a adoption home right after I was born. My mother wanted a daughter so badly. She could not and I mean could not settle for a son. So the moment it was revealed that I was a son and not a daughter, she fucking flipped. Not even a chance for me. She threw me to the center where I spent a few years at. In those years at the orphanage, there were a bunch of horrible older women who would make fun of me and beat me up. They even took me to their room one time. Nobody ever new or if they did they never believed me. Because god forbid a woman do anything wrong. I was just a kid, my adopted parents took me in when I was only like two to four years old. I only remember it because what the girls, all at least ten, would do to me that I don't want to talk about. They never sexually abused me, but they would hit me and stuff for making noise and such. When my adopted parents took me, I tried to get over it and while I love my mother, she's the only female I have ever felt attached to in any way. She's the one exception to my very one minded thoughts on females. Now I want to get over these young baby problems and just look at the present and accept females in my life for who they are now. Not who they were. Even if they were monsters to me." Kazu was saying to Max and the bully now started to feel bad for Kazu. He felt like Kazu had given him a whole new layer of depth and respect towards him.
"You know what, I can really see what your problem is now. Can you please let me try my very best to get you through this? I know you gave me the offer, but I wasn't so sure at first. Now I know for certain. Let's restart and try and get you through this phase of your life." Max held his hand out. After a second of staring, Kazu took the hand and shook it.
"Yes let's restart from the top. Thanks for trying to help me through this. I want Peggy to be my girlfriend, and I feel like with your guidance, I can feel like doing it." Kazu said and that was the end of their talk. The two separated and Takato sat there stunned. He stood up and started walking off to his classroom.
The rest of the school day went by like normal and after Takato had walked out of the school, he started walking back home. That way he can meet with Guilmon again. Give them a good job or something like that for all the work that they had put into defeating that enemy last night. They had earned the congrats.
Along his way to meet with Guilmon, he had found his friends. Now that they knew that Guilmon was real, he didn't really see any problem in letting them hang out with them. "Hey you guys. I was going to be hanging out with Guilmon now. Do you guys want to come along with me?"
"Sure why not? Maybe that way we can have some fun with them and not have to deal with only getting to know them from a battle scene. This is going to be so much fun." Kenta answered and Takato smiled. Everything from this point was going to be so much better he had assumed. The final moment he had to hide about Guilmon. Maybe soon he can tell his parents about this secret.
When the small group of friends were walking their way over to the cemetery that Guilmon is normally at, they were talking about the different things that they can be doing with the digimon. "Maybe when we see them they can explain what their favorite food is and then we can give them twenty servings of that meal." Kazu said and everybody seemed to be indifferent about that.
"Okay maybe instead of making them super full of the same meal, we can give them a large buffet. With a large buffet they can make a choice on what they would like to eat." Jeri suggested as she looked at Takato. As if silently telling him that he better reward her from saving him from trying to make Guilmon feel better from a sickness in the near future.
"Or maybe we can avoid food all together and just run around like we were in the worlds biggest game of hide and seek." Cameron suggested and some of them (Takato and Dwight) looked at him surprised that he suggested hide and seek and none of the others.
"Let's just ask them what they would like to do when we speak to them next. How about we just do that?" Takato said which with the voice he used made it sound like he was ruining all the fun they could have with anything.
Soon enough they reached the cemetery and found Guilmon. It looked like they were trying to bury a hole. The reasoning that they were doing this though was completely unknown to any of the humans though. Takato asked what they were doing and Guilmon just looked at them confused like they had no idea what he was talking about.
"Guilmon, how about we go to the park? These guys are going to play with us." Takato said and clapped super excited. Guilmon seemed to be a fan of this idea and they started to run out of the cemetery. After that all of them started running towards the town park. Each of them suggesting different things that they could be doing while there.
Around the same time, Henry and Rika happened to find each other in the exact same place. "Rika, what are you doing here? I was just on my way to Courtney's house."
"Oh yeah Courtney, just when I was actually starting to forget about her." Rika said and Henry looked at her as if she didn't get it.
"Okay what is your problem? For the first week or so that you knew me you couldn't stand anything about me and you are are getting really jealous for no reason when I am dating a girl of my own age. I feel like I have to remind you that you are not old enough for me to date you!" Henry snapped and Rika seemed taken aback by the fact he was the one that snapped at her instead of the other way around.
"I just really thought that you were a man who didn't care about this type of stuff. I also thought you were the type of man who would see when somebody needs your help." Rika was saying as she didn't even understand where she was trying to go on this comment.
"Look Rika if you need my help you can just ask me. My relationship with Courtney doesn't change that at all." Henry told her and he started walking closer to her.
"I just feel worthless. For the longest time my father gave me what I needed. Then he went off to the war and died not long afterwards. Then my mother wants me to be a model because she wants me to follow in her foot steps. My grand ma wants to give me all this advice even though I have no idea if I could ever use or need any of it. Everybody is always around me telling me what I should and shouldn't do. There are expectations everywhere and I am so tired of it." Rika stomped her foot and Henry took a deep breath.
"My senshi taught me how to talk to somebody with respect. Please explain to me in detail what all the problems are. I will do my best to help you here. Although there are no promises that I can make any real difference."
"I just want somebody to look at me for the person I am and not the person they want me to be. I thought that going to Renamon and making them follow my every command can make me feel better. Make me feel like somebody can actually listen to me. For the longest time it was like my go to therapy. I love fighting but I wonder if it is right. I'm sort of the opposite of you. In that you hate it but you are trying to see when it is right to do it." Rika explained and Henry nodded trying to think of a good speech.
"I bet your partner Renamon accepts you are who you are. I wouldn't be so down on myself if I were you. At least you do a good job showing your thoughts on stuff. Which is more than I can ever say for myself." Henry put his arm around Rika's neck and tried to make her feel better by explaining that people feeling down on themselves is a phase that everybody goes through.
Renamon was watching all of this happen up above. They were more than curious to see how Henry would handle this situation. Terriermon was with Henry like they always were. Nobody was at all surprised at this bit anymore. "Rika, you just need to confront your fears. It is the way that people can get over them. I was scared of Gorillamon but I confronted it and I am now over it and sometimes look at myself wondering why I was even worried of this over sized gorilla."
"I guess that maybe you ca be right about some things Henry." Rika said happily. Which was a new tone of voice Henry never heard her use before. Rika gave him a quick kiss in the cheek. That made Henry shocked. He remembered when she kissed him that one time a couple weeks ago. But this felt more sincere and more right along to the point.
Their moment was cut off here. As there was a loud noise that was clearly not a train. Henry jumped up and looked around. There he saw it. A large snake like digimon coming at them to attack them. "Rika, our moment's over. We must stop this." Henry said after his device told him that this was a new deva that they were dealing with.
Meanwhile, Takato and his friends were playing around with Guilmon like they were planning. They were also doing at the park. Just as they had been planning on doing this whole time.
"Oh come on this is unfair!" Guilmon was yelling since Kazu had climbed to the top of a tree and was doing his best to hide from them there. Although Guilmon had found them and was trying to get them down.
"Only if you can guess the password!" Kazu responded and Kenta smiled at this and looked at Takato.
"This is probably the most fun I had in a long time. I actually have a smile on my face." Kenta told Takato and this fact made him feel so much better about everything that was going on.
"I wonder how Henry and Rika are doing. They haven't come by here at all or said anything on what may be going on. Makes me wonder if they are just taking the day off or if something is happening." Jeri was saying and this comment made Takato also fear for the same reason. Her point was usually valid in the way that most of the time, they would know where at least one of the two were.
"Maybe they are just taking the day off though. Let's not worry too hard about it." Cameron tried to push the idea of a fun play time even more and Takato decided to go with this idea. He really didn't want to stop what he was doing because of some off fact Jeri pointed out. As valid as it may be.
The group of friends just continued playing and hanging around as if there was no possible problem. All of them laughing every few minutes because of the jokes that were being made. "Takato, why do you even hang around with Rika? She's kind of a jerk." Dwight asked and Takato actually had to think about that for a moment. He didn't really have a good reason.
"I guess it's just because we kind of have to work together in order to defeat future invaders. Because until these invasions were really becoming a big part of our present day life, we could not get along well at all." Takato answered and that was was when Impmon had walked up to the whole group.
"Rika and Henry haven't been able to hang out with you guys because they are too busy fighting off a deva. They are actually doing their job unlike you Takato. They are at the train station. I was watching it but decided that I wanted to tell you. I might not like it but I can see that I won't be able to defeat this thing on my own." Impmon said and Takato looked at Guilmon.
"I guess our fun day is over. Let's go over and help those two now." Takato said in a annoyed voice before he got his device out and started walking to the train station. Everybody was wondering if they were allowed to come along or not. Until Takato gave a answer they were just going to stand there.
There was no answer either way. Which either meant Takato didn't care of they should have been able to figure out the answer on their own. Most of them had taken it in the way that they should just head home.
"Takato you don't have to be so serious about everything." Guilmon was saying after they had run a pretty long way. This was their way of trying to convince him to relax on the running by just a tad bit.
"And yeah and then let the two of them get defeated. I would rather not have that happen." Takato responded as Guilmon was groaning in pain as they were running on forward. "After this though, I will give you a nice serving of bread."
So when Henry and Rika were trying to hold their ground against the new enemy, both of them had told their partners that it was time for a digivolution. "Hopefully Takato will figure out what the hell is happening and he will show up here!" Henry was saying a bit frustrated. This was still something that quite shocked Rika. As she rarely seen this type of anger in his voice.
"Sanidramon. Ultimate level digimon." Rika's device said and that got a worried expression from both Henry and Rika. They knew how well the last attack from a ultimate digimon had turned out. It was because of this that they both used power and speed boosting cards each. That way the two of them would get both benefits just enough.
The Sanidramon started crawling over to the two of them. Once they were close to Kyubimon, they released their tongue and that grabbed Kyubimon by their leg. This made them struggle for just a second.
That was when Gargomon shot out some bullets from their arm guns and shot the tongue of the Sanidramon. In anger the digimon released their tongue and lunged at Gargomon. This lunge pushed Gargomon back and made them hit the wall really hard. "I'm starting to become like Henry here. Hating all this fighting."
"Oh don't tell me you're giving into the sensitive side as well." Kyubimon said and brought out some of their fire and some of it hit the snake like digimon. In response Sanidramon used their end of the tail and whacked Kyubimon really hard. The hit was right across their face and forced them to stay on the ground for a second or two.
Impmon was watching this whole thing. At first they were having pleasure and watching Henry and Rika getting their asses handed to them. However after the first thirty or so seconds the novelty was wearing off pretty bad. "I will get Takato I guess." Impmon said under his breath and started to run in the direction of the park. He didn't see it in person but he was almost certain that Takato would be there.
In the twenty or so minutes that it took for Impmon to get to Takato and the fifteen or so minutes for Takato to get to the train station, Henry and Rika were taking care of the basic stuff. Such as making sure that nobody would enter the train station in fear of them getting hurt. There was also the fact that they were giving their partners encouragement to get them up.
"You can do it Kyubimon. I truly believe in you." Rika said and Kyubimon stared at Rika for a couple seconds. Then they started to push themselves up and with will power got ready to fight again.
"The fate of the city lays on you Gargomon. You can actually be a hero now." Henry told Gargomon and Gargomon quite liked the idea of being the hero. They have been a couple times but they still got a great thrill in doing it. Together they each damaged Sanidramon a little more and they also got hurt a little more but regardless their job was done.
That was when Takato and Guilmon had come in. All three of them looked at each other and told their partners to perform a triple attack. The triple attack defeated the Sanidramon very quickly. With its defeat that sent one clear message. They were not going to rest easy no matter how much they wish that they could.
"I guess that this battle is going to be a longer than just a couple encounter thing. I guess that means we really have to step up our game. All of us. The group of the tamers need to be united if we want results. We also need to do guard patrol. This is to make sure that nothing really happens that can be considered bad. The fate of the town from now until this is taken care of is now in our hands." Takato was saying and he held his hand out.
"A team?" Henry suggested and held his hand out. Rika seemed to be unthrilled for a second.
"I may not like it but I can't argue it." Rika agreed and put her hand out. "But we will need others to help out as well. Calumon in what way they can. Impmon if they get their head out of their ass. Kazu, Kenta, and Jeri. Hell even Dwight and Cameron. Even though it might be asking for too much." With that the tamers were formed not just as a game or just a one on one saving mission, but as a trio. More than a trio. A group of heroes. With one purpose. To save the city.
After the defeat of Sanidramon, Yamaki got yet another report. "Another one of these powerful digimon defeated. Thankfully I will say. Maybe these kids can actually be of a use to me. As much as I hate to admit it." Yamaki said to himself and stood up. Looking out of the building and nodding.
"Riley, can you do something for me?" Yamaki asked and Riley nodded. "I wish you to find a middle school boy named Kazu. Don't ask why, just do it. If you don't want to be fired, that is. If you fail to bring him here in thirty six hours, you will instantly be fired and I will shot you dead if you try and come back here." Yamaki said and Riley nodded scared.
"I will do that Yamaki. Right on the way." Riley responded and started to head out as soon as possible. Not wanting to waste a single second of her thirty six hours. Yamaki decided to be generous and add another thirty minutes on the dead line. More as a margin of error than anything. So if she showed up thirty minutes late, he will spare her. But no more than that.
A few hours later, about twelve or so, the male students all seventh grade and above were going on a camping trip. It was a yearly camping trip that the school funded for all male students seventh grade or older. It was a all male trip. While the college trip was a yearly trip that happened in the same weekend and same age range. The only difference is that college trip was all female.
Takato and Henry started following the rest of the group on the way to their camping sight. "This will be so much fun. Trust me I have been doing this very year that I get the chance to. As long as you don't swim for too long. I learned the side affects the hard way." Henry said and Takato laughed as he said that. Kazu and Kenta sort of fell back in the large round up of students to be with the two of them.
"I have been hearing so much about this camping trip for so long. I am so hoping that it is a good as I hear it is. Who knows, maybe something epic will happen in the trip." Kazu showed his open excitement. Kenta couldn't help but feel like the world was at its brightest.
"I am going to tell mom everything when I come home. She will think it's the most awesome thing ever." Kenta told them his plans as Takato didn't respond to any of these comments. He decided not to get too hyped in case something happens.
"Why aren't you saying something Takato?" Guilmon asked Takato and Takato told them to be quiet. He and Henry had been able to secretly get Guilmon and Terriermon on this trip. With nobody knowing besides the guys who saw this battle. Not even the girls who went on the college trip knew of what Henry and Takato did.
"I just have a feeling that there will be another battle tonight. We have barely had a day without a battle ever since we have first came together." Takato answered really quietly that way nobody can catch Guilmon there. Since they were hidden in a really large coat that looked really off on the normal street.
"Regardless if something happens or not, you can use WarGrowlmon to defeat it right?" Kenta asked and Takato along with Henry didn't seem too sure on that. Kazu was able to pick up their unsure face pretty quickly. To the point where he didn't want to question their reasoning for having this mindset.
"Let's just not think about that right now and just have a fun time. Okay guys." Kazu suggested and the other guys decided to go along with this idea. Going along their way to the camp with the other guys. As they had fallen several feet behind. One day they would truly be free from all this fighting. When that happens, they can truly have fun at camping trips.
About a hour later the males had made it to the camping ground that they were going to have their fun night at. "Hey guys, what should we do first?" Cameron asked the group of boys. There seemed to be a silence for just a second. Like they were deciding in their heads what to do.
"I suggest that we go around and try to tell each other scary stories. Don't we love to tell scary stories near the woods?" Dwight suggested first and before any of them could answer yes or no, the camping advisor, the gym teacher, had showed up like he heard that whole thing.
"Yes camping scary stories are the best. How about we do that right now?" He went along with Dwight's suggestion and half a hour later after setting up camp and the fire for their dinner, it was dinner time.
"I will go first." Kazu said and got his face closer to the fire. That way he could look more scary as some people would say. "It started one night when a man and a woman were going through the forest. After they had walked a mile they decided that they wanted to kiss each other for the hell of it. While they were kissing they had their backs turned and soon after they started kissing, a creepy guy came up behind them and stabbed them. Then they stabbed the couple again and the two bodies were left on the ground were they only died a few minutes later. The killer and the bodies have never been found." After he was done most people looked at him.
"That sounds more odd than scary." The gym teacher said and he took his turn. "In the middle of the day, a little kid had walked into this house. Inside the house there were loud thumping noises. The kid decided to look for the cause of the noise and they could not find anything. A strange voice started speaking with him and he could not find the source of the voice. Not long afterwards, the kid had started to go insane and they couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong anymore." The gym teacher said and most of the campers would agree that it took a step up on the rating scale, but it was still nothing scary.
"Hey Takato, let's go out and get to the water." Henry said as he was getting tired of these stories a couple later. Neither one of them were really that impressive and if anything were just getting even worse than the last one. So Takato agreed and they started to head towards the water area near their camping ground. There they could talk more in privacy. What about they haven't decided yet though.
"This hasn't turned out as bad as I thought it would I would admit. No attacks and aside from really cheesy scary stories, nothing bad has happened. I guess I can relax now." Takato said and Guilmon came up next to him.
"You see what I mean? These camping trips actually can be fun. My first ever camping trip was one my father took me on when I was only six years old. I fell in love with ever since then. I wish I could go out camping more often actually. That is how much I actually enjoy it." Henry patted Takato on the back as if to show that everything was good.
"What happened in your first camping trip that made you love it so much?" Takato asked Henry curious to learn a little bit more about the man he has lately considered to be a friend.
"Just the general setting. I love spending the night outside in the public. It really lets you be a part of nature and it feels like a time I can just take things easier without having to worry about how everybody is going to judge me." Henry answered Takato's question and he was looking at the water as if remembering the times his father and him would go out camping in a nostalgic way.
"Henry do you like to go camping with girls or just men?" Terriermon asked a little out of nowhere and Henry had no idea how to respond to this question.
"I never went camping with women before, so I can't answer that question."
"This is my first time camping period. That was another reason I wasn't too sure if I would like it or not." Takato confessed and followed Henry's example of just looking at the lake.
"Hey guys have you noticed that the water is giving off a strange ripple? Did you do that Takatomon?" Guilmon pointed out and the men looked at it more closely. Trying to see what Guilmon was talking about. For a few seconds there was nothing and they assumed that Guilmon was making it up. But very soon after there was a loud rumble. The rumble turned into a splash and the four of them started to go back to get away from the water. In less than thirty seconds, a new body emerged. A new ultimate level digimon. One of the devas. Sinduramon, the rooster deva.
"We have to stop this right here and right now." Takato gave off the perfectly obvious and Henry nodded. Not even hating the idea anymore since he has fought so many times, he was used to it by now. Even if he didn't like it, he was okay with it. They looked at their digimon as if saying that their trip was over. Or was taking a break from fun. It was time to fight.
"Guilmon digivolve to... GROWLMON!"
"Terriermon digivolve to... GARGOMON!"
After both the digivolutions had happened, the two of them swiped a speed and power card. Takato did speed first then power, while Henry did the opposite. Growlmon went in the left side and gave a extra powerful and longer fire breathing attack. While Gargomon shot several more powerful bullets in a faster rate. This had went for five seconds before Sinduramon flapped both their wings really hard and sent the two digimon flying away. One hit the tree and the other fell into the water. While not stated, it was obvious that they were out for the battle.
Henry and Takato had a really odd idea. Leading it to the camp fire. So they started running in that direction. Henry went first and Takato stayed close enough to see the Sinduramon coming in their direction.
After a couple minutes of running and getting closer to the fire Henry had seen the campers and Henry started yelling at the other campers and gym teacher to get out of the way before anything happens to them. They saw what was happening and listened to his orders.
When all the campers had moved out of the way safely Takato had finished leading the Sinduramon to the fire and the over sized bird went into the flames. For a few seconds it was screaming and soon enough it was defeated. Thankfully it happened this way because if it hadn't, then perhaps they would have had to reveal the digimon to the entire camp and that would have ended badly for everybody involved. But unlucky for them, there was worse to come.
"Guys, Kazu isn't here." Kenta said and the entire set of guys noticed a few seconds later that Kenta was right. Everybody split up to look for him through the entire camp site and after about ten or so minutes, they had given up on the idea of him being there.
"Oh my god, what if he was taken?" Henry asked Takato and soon enough they both agreed on what the culprit most likely was.
"Yamaki." They both said in unison and the two of them told their friends what was going on. They said they would look for Yamaki's hide out and Kenta had agreed to come along with them. Dwight and Cameron said that they would cover them up. So with that Henry and Takato forced Growlmon and Gargomon to get up so they can look for Yamaki and find Kazu. Little did they know that this moment was going to change the whole game entirely.
Not long after he was taken was he successfully led to Yamaki's quarters. By none other than Riley. She had found him during the rooster deva attack and had grabbed him with one arm around his chest and her other hand covering his mouth. This was to prevent the screaming and she had led them there this way.
"There I brought the man. What do you want now?" Riley asked and Yamaki looked at his timer. He saw that she made it pretty well on time.
"You had seventeen hours remaining. Good job, even I'm impressed. Now leave me alone with the boy." Yamaki answered and not liking it but not wanting to further piss him off she listened to him and left the room.
"Do you know me?" Yamaki asked Kazu after he let the boy get seated.
"No I don't. Should I?" Kazu asked in a honestly confused and not even snap back way. Yamaki smiled and took his glasses off.
"Tell me what you know about Takato and maybe I will tell you why you should know and love me." Yamaki said and Kazu sighed in anger over this whole situation before explaining.
"He is one of my friends and I have hung out with him ever since I was picked up at the orphanage. Recently I found out that Takato and a few of his friends really have digimon and have been fighting off the entire flock of enemies coming by. They are true heroes if you ask me. I also know that Takato is a only child. If I am also correct, he has feelings for this girl named Jeri. Is that enough for you?" Kazu gave enough info away to please the disturbed man.
"Yes that is enough. Let me ask you something. What do you know about your father?"
"That he and my mother gave me up after I was born because I was a boy and they were disgusted to have a boy and therefore gave me up. I don't really know much aside from that and I honestly have no desire to."
"Well then you are wrong. He wanted to have you. It was the mother who rejected you because of your sex. It's disgusting if you think about it." Yamaki said and Kazu couldn't help but agree a little.
"But why does this matter to you at all? How do you know my father or mother at all?"
After Kazu asked that Yamaki turned around from the window he was looking out and walked closer to the boy. "Because Kazu, I am your father." Yamaki said and for a second Kazu turned towards the audience.
"Really? This cliche? Out of all of them, you pull this one?" Kazu asked the audience that was recording and then turned to Yamaki as if that moment of breaking character never happened.
"I wished to raise you regardless of your sex and you being taken away from me meant that I had forever lost the chance. I was never going to be with my young by again because your mother didn't accept you for who you were. I still can't get over it thirteen years later." Yamaki sounded truly remorseful and Kazu almost believed him for a second.
"But we look almost nothing a like. How can you be my father?" Kazu asked confused and there was two loud noises that distracted them. The the voices of three boys and four digimon. Kenta, Henry, Takato, Guilmon, Terriermon, and the next two devas. The ox and sheep ones. Right away Yamaki threw a blue card at Kazu.
"Here's a gift from me. Take it even if you don't believe me." Yamaki said and he started to go through his drawer. He took out two guns. One for each hand. "I will try and fight at least one of these off." Yamaki seemed to lose his craziness and got into full on protective father mode now.
"Can I come along?" Kazu asked not wanting to be disrespectful to his host. Not that he believed in this him being his father stuff. Yamaki said no but a few seconds later, he agreed that he can come along. As long as he didn't do any thing wreck less.
Soon enough both men were outside and saw the three other guys, the two digimon partners at ultimate forms and the two devas. Wishing that there was much needed slow down that couldn't happen, all of them decided that getting this battle out of the way was the best solution. A battle that all of them, even Kazu and Kenta, took a role in finishing.
Davis's Closing Narration: Wow, what a cliffhanger. This is epic man. Will Kazu accept the parenthood confession or reject it? How will everybody contribute to the battle and how are the females doing at the college? Are the men going to have a large talk after this is all over and will they talk to me eventually? I wish they do. I wonder how the camp people feel about them leaving like that. That was also a interesting with with Rika's grandmother and Renamon. Lastly I wonder if Rika can accept Henry's relationships and move on from it or if she will still be saddened on it. Find out next time.
