Okay...the story's underway now that Takuya has gone in to action, yet his "Digimon" form was never shown onscreen. Well, that will change as later within the chapter you will finally get to see his appearance as he faces another Digimon while another character from the Digimon universe makes his/her first appearance, who would soon become a prominent character in the upcoming chapters.
Well then, other than that…it's SHOWTIME!
10: Yubiwa no Mahōtsukai
A few days later, the girl who was despondent and almost got attacked by a Digimon was seen walking by the streets, as if she appeared to have recovered from the ordeal all thanks to Takuya's timely arrival as he was able to drive Impmon away. She seem to have gotten better after that but then she passes by a group of people who are watching a mime doing a "performance", but then someone sets its eyes on the passing woman, and whispered to someone, indicating that the two are Digimons, who are disguised as humans.
"Is that her...?"
"Yes...that is her."
"Shall we jump her?"
"Not yet...we wait until the coast is clear..."
"Okay...but when would I..."
"If the "ring-bearing Wizard" shows up...that's where you come in..."
"Okay..."
"Now let's follow her..."
And so the disguised Impmon secretly follows the girl so that he would know where she lives and how to approach her so he can make her fall in to despair while his fellow Digimon will keep Takuya busy should the teen tries to interfere in their plans once more, determine to carry out what the Wiseman wants them to do, in order to save face and to avoid Medusamon and Phoenixmon's wrath if he fails in his mission once more.

Elsewhere in Shibuya, the scene shifts to a park where a van is parked where it shows that the van is a moving doughnut shop, selling various doughnuts, and so far it attracted a lot of customers and patrons, its business is doing well and the manager, known to be an effeminate gay manager dressed in drag, is pretty happy about it, and tells his two assistants to keep up the good work.
"Manager...our doughnuts are a hit!"
"If this keeps up...we can have enough to expand our van...!"
"And we can make new variety of doughnuts...AAAWW!"
"Thank you for your continuous patronage!"
"Thank you for your continuous patronage!"
"Please come again!"
"Come try our famous doughnuts!"
"Come try our famous doughnuts!"
"We have a lot of varieties! AAAWW!"
By then one customer came and the Donut Shop manager recognizes him as one of his loyal customers, who turn out to be Takuya Kanbara himself, and he is looking forward that the teen would try out other varieties of doughnuts and hope he would do so as Takuya would always choose his usual variety, which became obvious from the get-go when the teen first came to the shop a few years ago.
"Ah! Takuya, sweetie!"
"Hello..."
"Been a while!"
"Yeah..."
"Come try our newest flavors! We have Chocolate...Bavarian...Boston Kreme..."
"Plain sugar..."
"Huh? Come on...try our new varieties for once! I promise you you'll like them..."
"Okay..."
"Yes!"
"Plain sugar..."
The Donut Shop manager fell to the ground "anime-style" as Takuya reiterated that he would only order plain sugar-flavored doughnuts and the assistants gave Takuya the order once the teen gives his payment, while the manager remained on the floor, his legs twitching as he failed in convincing Takuya in trying out different flavors, while his assistants help their manager up, telling him that it is no use in trying to convince Takuya.
"WWWAAHHH! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"
"Manager..."
"Let it go, manager...that's his preference..."
"Are my doughnuts that bad...?"
"No, of course not..."
"That's his choice...but at least we have a loyal customer..."
"At least other customers dig our different flavored doughnuts..."
"Waaahhh...!"
"Manager..."
As Takuya took his seat and began eating his doughnuts, he felt at ease after having his first battle against a Digimon. Even though his life changed after surviving the ritual, feeling his life became mundane and boring with the mission he had to put up, the teen found solace through his love for doughnuts, which he began to develop a liking since he was young before his biological parents passed away.
By then, his cellphone rang and he answered it, which the caller turns out to be Izumi, and the scene shows that inside the Omokagedo Antique Shop, Izumi is glancing at the crystal Ball and found out that the girl that Takuya rescued a few days ago, is being taken to a vacant house, and that he abductor is a Digimon disguised as a mime, and tells Takuya where they are heading to.
"Takuya!"
"Izumi...what's up? I'm just about to eat my doughnuts..."
"Never mind that! I found a Digimon!"
"Was it that Imp-looking one again? What's he up to...?"
"No...it's the girl you saved the other night...she's being taken by a mime..."
"Oh well...that doesn't concern me..."
"I think it's a Digimon in disguise...he's taking her to a vacant lot...better check on it just in case..."
"Oh, okay...I'm on it..."
Not wasting time, Takuya boarded his motorcycle and heads out to the place that Izumi provided, as he is now about to face another Digimon, though he smirked as he expect that something surprising is about to happen and felt that this would at least lessen the pressure in this upcoming battle now that he felt that one thing is "pricked from his chest" and he can concentrate on something that wouldn't distract him from this new fight.
-x-
At the vacant house, the mime is harassing the girl as she is a bit scared at believing that the mime is a pervert, until a young man shows up and tells her to fall in to despair, which she didn't understand at first, but then the man revealed his Digimon form as Impmon and there she became scared as Impmon attempted to scare her to despair, which slowly worked in his favor while the mime imitated the girl by pretending to be scared as well, adding the tension.
"You scared...?"
"EEKK!"
"Yes...be very afraid..."
"EEEEKK!"
"Be terrified..."
"EEEEKKKK!"
"Give in to Despair...and give birth to a Digimon!"
"HHHHEEELLLLPPPP!"
However, something doesn't appeared to be right, as despite the girl gotten scared and appeared to fall in to despair, she did not "crack up" like last time, and even the mime looked on with curiosity as he glances at the girl from head to toe, but then Takuya shows up, snickering at the two which Impmon recognizes him but demanded to know why he is snickering at him, which the teen told them something they did not expect.
"Heh-heh-heh..."
"What...? You! Why are you here? And what's with that laughter?"
"Looks like you wasted your time..."
"What?"
"That girl...she won't give in like last time..."
"What?"
"She's normal now...and the Digimon inside her...I'd extinguished it."
"You can't be serious!"
Both the Mime and Impmon are taken aback when told that Takuya used "magical means" to "extinguish" the girl's "inner Digimon" thus the girl is no longer a "Digi-Gate" and is now a normal human, and he tells the girl to leave which she did as the battle is now under way, as the Mime revealed himself as Jabberwockmon and he appeared to be eight feet tall, as a brief flashback shows that the mime was among those subjected to the ritual which he gave in to despair and a new Digimon was "born", and Impmon hid behind one of the pillars as the battle is now underway, with Impmon cheering on.
"Go, Jabberwockmon!"
"..."
"Beat him up!"
"..."
"Show him who is boss!"
"..."
"Make him wish he regretted messing with us!"
"..."
"Now go get him!"
However, the scene shifts outside the house where a few minutes later, the house collapses and "caved-in", which was due to an "explosion", and after a minute, Takuya emerged unharmed and boarded his motorcycle to leave the scene, while Impmon emerged from the rubble, partially injured and is even more afraid, seeing that Takuya is more of a threat than he expected, seeing that the teen had just defeated and "deleted" Jabberwockmon after a few minutes of battle, recognizing that Takuya's "magical abilities" are not to be ignored. He leaves the scene at once before police arrived after being alerted by a "loud explosion".
-x-
At their hideout in Sado Island, Impmon arrived and told Medusamon and Phoenixmon what happened, with the female Digmon displeased with the Digimon showing himself with no results and deemed him "worthless" and Phoenixmon is considering eliminating him until a human shows up and asked them not to kill Impmon as he felt he can redeem himself if he participate in a plan of his as he has found the "Digi-Gate" within his vicinity, which Medusamon seemingly agreed with, provided that Impmon gets out of their sights.
"What's this? You came back and showed no results...?"
"Forgive me..."
"I am displeased..."
"I say we kill him!"
"I tell you! It was a human who killed Jabberwockmon! I saw him...his magical powers are not to be taken lightly!"
"Wait, mistress...don't. The fact that he survived shows that he can still redeem himself."
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes."
"Very well...I leave him to you. Have you...?"
"Yes, I have. I will see to it that a new Digimon will be sired...Impmon...come with me..."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"You better follow my plan...you have one last shot at this..."
And so the unseen human took Impmon with him as they enact a plan to entrap the "Digi-Gate" while stating that this would be Impmon's last chance to redeem himself and if he the plan succeeds, Impmon would be spared, while Medusamon smirked seeing that things would go well though she felt a bit of concern as after hearing more about the teen possessing "magical abilities" and that he defeated Jabberwockmon in a few minutes, so she decided to see how things would go.

The next day, the scene shifts to a construction firm where a police team arrived there after getting a call that they are being attacked, but the caller's call was interrupted before he could tell the dispatcher that they are being attacked by Ghoulmons, and the dispatcher sends the police force to respond to the scene, which they went there unaware of the danger they are about to face.
The police team are being led by two persons, a man Identified only as "Detective Amino" and a rookie detective named Yoshino Fujieda, and as they assumed their positions, Amino tells her to lead the men in attacking while he looks for areas where there might be more attackers, which she agreed to and is now preparing to go inside the warehouse with her gun loaded.
"Okay...this is the place..."
"Yoshino...are you and your men ready...?"
"Yes, Amino."
"You lead the attack...I'll go and see if there are other attackers within the area. I'll radio you if I find anything."
"Okay...Just be careful."
"You too."
"Okay, men...we go in!"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
As Yoshino goes in along with her men, they stormed the warehouse and are taken aback at seeing the Impmon and Ghoulmons murdering the construction workers and not one survived the attack, and as the Ghoulmons eyed at their new targets, Yoshino and her men appeared to be surprised as they never seen anything like this before.
"What the...?"
"What are they?"
"They don't look like they're cosplayers!"
"Look...they even gored them!"
"Darn...men, open fire!"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
"You...call for backup if things go bad!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
As Yoshino gave the word, she and her men opened fire and to their horror, their bullets have no effect, yet they kept on firing, but then trouble increases as the wall was smashed, and in came another Digimon, who resembles a Minotaur wielding a huge battle ax. He is identified as Minotaurmon and he is now ready to deliver the attack, and Yoshino wondered what has happened to Amino as he hasn't come in, and hoped that he is calling for help.
"What is that?"
"Looks like a monster!"
"A Minotaur!"
"That's where Amino's position is!"
"Open fire!"
"Darn! We're being outnumbered!"
"Fall back!"
"EEEEKK!"
Within seconds, the policemen were overwhelmed as Impmon and Minotaurmon pinned down Yoshino, as they are taking their time deciding her fate, and she is filled with worry and terror as she is in the mercy of two Digimons, and she wondered what has happened to Amino, wondering if he was either killed or managed to escape to call for reinforcements to let HQ know the situation she and her men are in.

Elsewhere, Takuya is sitting on a bench near a park, binges himself on his doughnuts and is quite content with what he is doing at the moment, as eating his doughnut seemed to ease his stress at his mission that he never even asked, risking his life for strangers whose hopes and dreams are in danger of being taken that would led to them turning into Digimons should they fall in despair.
By then, his cellphone rang and he answered it, and the caller turn out to be Izumi and there she told him about the Digimons attacking at the said place, which Takuya immediately went in to action as he places his right hand, which has a rather large ring on his middle finger, in front of a belt buckle that has a hand symbol and an unexpected effect happened as a voice spoke to confirm a command.
Belt's voice: "CONNECT...PLEASE..."
Suddenly, a magical circle appeared and Takuya placed a hand to get something, and as he pulled it out, an unexpected object was pulled out of the magic circle, which turn out to be the motorcycle that the White Wizard gave to him, and as the magic circle disappeared, Takuya boarded the vehicle and cruises away after getting the directions that Izumi provided.
-x-
Back at the construction warehouse, the two Digimons are trying to shake Yoshino in terror so she would fall in to despair, but she held on as she tries to fight back, but to no avail, and as Impmon is about to do something to her, more policemen arrived and are surprised at the scene before them, so they charged at the two Digimons but they were soon driven back by the Goulmons, but then Takuya arrived and there Impmon recognized him and told Minotaurmon about him.
"We meet again...you still never learn, have you?"
"Look!"
"Eh?"
"That's him! That's the one I'm telling you about!"
"That brat...?"
"Don't look down at him! He is the one who defeated Jabberwockmon! I almost got killed if I hadn't escape!"
"You worry too much. He's just a human boy...so easy to deal with..."
"I tell you he's no ordinary human! He's..."
"Fine...I'll deal with him! Ghoulmons...get him!"
"But...I tell you...!"
"Looks like it's showtime..."
Seeing him as a mere eyesore, Minotaurmon fires a fireball at the teen, but as the explosion subsided, the teen stood there as he is engulfed in magical aura as he is encased in black armor with a red ruby-colored chest armor seen underneath a black robe, while his helmet resembled a red, quartz-like stone, and there the two Digimons are taken aback as they sensed the Digimon aura within the now-armored Takuya, as the armored teen is now ready to take on the two enemies and their foot soldiers.
To Be Continued…
This sums it up as Takuya, finally made is onscreen debut as the "ring-bearing Wizard", and though it ended in a cliffhanger, at least you were given hints on what he would do in the upcoming chapters as I build him up to be the main hero of this fic. While his actions were shown off-screen, the next chapters will surely give you something to expect in terms of action-packed scenes.
Izumi did get a bit of screen time, but she will soon have more prominent roles in the next chapters as being more than just Takuya' s assistant and "sidekick".
As stated in the last chapter, I introduced a character from the Digimon universe, and she is Yoshino Fujieda from Digimon Savers, and her role here is different from her anime version but nevertheless her roles are similar.
Lastly, I decided to place the chapter's title...in Japanese...so that you would feel like watching a subtitled anime...that's a few habits of mine...so expect he next chapters to be filled with chapter titles in Japanese translation...
Preview:
The Wizard saves Yoshino...in return he gets arrested!
See next chapter on how this would happen.
