Chapter14: The Barrier Gems Part 2
Rika's House
'When I get my hands on that Gogglehead I'm going to teach him the meaning of pain' Rika thought as she got dressed fro school. 'Of all the places where we've been that Dream World has to be the most annoying.'
"It can't be that bad" Renamon commented as she fazed in beside her partner "at least you woke up today unlike last time".
"I thought I have to be aware when you use that psychic link" Rika sighed looking at the fox digimon.
"Now where's the fun in that?" what passed for a grin spread across the Kitsune's face.
Rika turned to the door and said "lets go already, we have a world to save remember?" Renamon fazed into the shadows as Rika exited the house and started walking towards her private school.
After school was finished, several blocks away, Henry, Takato and their digimon were nearing the entrance to the park. Everyone in school had been glancing at the Tamer of Chaos all day, it was to be expected but still it was awkward. Henry had been hanging around with him, asking about Hyrule while the rest of the Tamers were keeping their distance. Jeri had been paying attention to both of the main Tamers of the group all day but didn't say anything. "So you're saying that dream I had last night was real?" Henry inquired.
Takato nodded and replied "yeah, I've been there a few times but not since I came back from Hyrule the first time, every time was exhausting".
"Yeah, I'm sure you and Rika were always gasping for breath between the making out" Terriermon said in a cheery tone which caused Takato to blush like mad.
"I-I d-don't k-know what you're talking about" he stuttered as he remembered when he was about to die by the dragon in the Goron city.
"Sure you don't" Terriermon said sArcastically.
Henry looked at his partner and felt he had to say the one phrase that felt like a long lost friend "Terriermon".
"Shutting up now" the rabbit digimon said quickly as he raised his hand and gave a salute.
Takato sighed and heard his shadow give a chuckle. 'Something funny?' He asked his shadow being.
"And you say I love to spend time in another dimension with the women I like" DT laughed.
'Oh shut up, I've got more important things to do then compare how similar you and Terriermon think' he thought as the two Tamers approached the stairs to Guilmon's shed.
"Were being followed" Guilmon said and everyone turned to him and then followed the digimon's gaze. Jeri Katou came out of the bushes and looked at Takato then at Henry.
"I-I" she couldn't find the word until she stared into Henry's eyes "I don't know what's been going on with you two and Rika but I-I want to be apart of it".
They stared at her and she looked down at her feet. Henry looked over at Takato and saw a concerned look on his face. "You know that only us three are supposed to deal with this little problem" Takato stated as he Guilmon nodded.
"Yeah but what's to say we can't bring her along, we just don't have to tell her anything" Henry said as Takato stared at him.
'He's got a point' the Tamer of Chaos thought and nodded reluctantly "fine but she's not allowed to know".
Henry nodded and turned to Jeri. He smiled and said "okay Jeri you can come along just don't get in the way".
She smiled and walked over to them. The group continued walking, up the stairs and into Guilmon's shed. "What took you so long?" Rika who was standing inside waiting for them fully changed into her regular cloths.
"Hey Rika" Terriermon said with a grin "have any sweet dreams with Takato?"
Her face turned the colour red as she smacked the rabbit digimon upside the head. She turned to Takato and said "you better not have told them anything about those dreams".
"Hey I remember that you threatened to send me to dreamland if I ever mentioned it" he stated as he remembered when she first met her.
"When this is over you had better be a fast runner Gogglehead" she threatened as she cracked her knuckles.
Henry sweat dropped and coughed "we should get moving if we want to save the world again".
Takato nodded and he held out his hand in front of him. At the back of the shed the air parted and a bright red light shone through. The portal expanded as he approached it "You have got to show me how to do that" Rika said as she too walked over to the portal.
"Let's go" Takato said as he and the digimon jumped through and disappeared inside. Rika soon followed and Henry found himself in front of it a few moments later. He turned and saw Jeri looking a bit scared.
He held out a hand and said softly "come on its safe". She reluctantly took it and they jumped through. The portal collapsed behind them and disappeared from the world.
Digital world #02
The group was dropped of in the center of a desert with the world sphere floating over their heads. Takato stood up first after getting used to falling on his face after exiting a portal and looked around. There was nothing but digital sand and the floating Digi-cores covering the desert. Henry helped and Guilmon helped Jeri up while Rika and Renamon looked around also. Takato held out his D-Arc and the compass with the arrow pointing out his desired location appeared.
"That way" he stated as he pointed in the same direction as the compass.
Henry turned to his partner and said "Bio-merge Activate"
"Terriermon Bio-merge too MegaGargomon"
Rika turned to the fox digimon and said "we need a lift"
"Renamon Digivolve too Kyubimon" Rika and Jeri mounted the digimon as Rika turned to Takato.
"What about you?" she asked as she saw Guilmon dedigivolve to Gigamon.
He smiled and pulled out a red card. He swiped it through his D-Arc and a split second later his garments started to form. He now stood in his Chaos garments and the Gallant Mask over his face. "I don't need a ride" he stated as Gigimon climbed into his Tamer's bag. He held out his D-Arc and turned to where the arrow pointed. "Follow me" he accelerated forward at a very fast speed, with MegaGargomon and Kyubimon following close behind.
"Why couldn't you have done use this speed in that fight with the moblins yesterday?" Rika asked as Kyubimon tried to keep up with the Tamer of Chaos.
Takato turned to her and said simply "I couldn't because my legs were still hurting from the day before when I dropped what felt like a hundred feet".
MegaGargomon had no problem keeping up with the Tamer because of the rocket boosters he had on his back "should I ask how you survived that?"
Takato shook his head and checked the compass again. They were on the right track but wouldn't be at their destination for another half-hour or so. He looked up at Henry who was flying over him at the moment and then at Jeri. He accessed the powers of Chaos and made a rough scan of the digital world. He found what he was looking for, Primary Village or at least this world's version of it. He pushed of from the ground and landed on MegaGargomon's shoulder. The Tamer of Chaos whispered something into the much larger digimon's ear and a look of shock spread across Henry's face in the data sphere.
"What? Now?" he asked the Tamer of Chaos.
"It's about four miles in that direction" Takato pointed towards a pair of mountains far away "it should be easy to spot".
Henry looked over at a confused Jeri and Rika. He looked back at Takato and said "okay but be careful".
Takato jumped off and resumed running while Henry veered away towards the mountains. "Where's he going?" Jeri asked the Tamer of Chaos.
He looked at her and said "he's just going to take care of a few things; we'll meet up with him later".
"Are you sure that was a good idea?" his shadow asked.
'Yeah, but I just hope he pulls it off' Takato thought in reply and noticed he was approaching Zhuqiaomon's lair "we're almost their, so I guess I had better change". Gigamon jumped out of his Tamer's bag and Digivolved in Guilmon. Takato held out his D-Arc and shouted "Chaos Bio-merge Activate!"
Takato and Guilmon merged together as Guilmon's voice filled the air "Guilmon Chaos Bio-merge too ChaosGallantmon". The unholy knight of Chaos continued his run as Rika brought out her D-Arc.
"Come on you piece of junk" the analyzer appeared on the device "thank you"
ChaosGallantmon, a Mega Level, Virus type Dark Knight Digimon. The Death Bringer, Dancer of the Black Flames, the one who summons disaster...a creature born of a holy knight with a tainted soul, whose only objective is precisely that: to change everything into nothing. His Judecca Prison and Demon's Disaster attacks can only be described as annihilators and destroyers of worlds. Warning: He is the institutor of the Annihilation Protocol.
"That's Takato" Jeri said "now I know why he's been mysterious lately".
"What's Annihilation Protocol?" Rika asked in a whisper which nobody heard.
"I suggest you Bio-merge too" Takato stated as they neared jumped across the Bridge above the endless abyss below.
They reached the front door and Kyubimon turned back into Renamon. Rika held out her D-Arc and shouted "Bio-merge Activate!"
Bio merge Digivolution
"Renamon Bio-merge too Sakuyamon" the angel fox landed beside the Chaos Knight as the door slowly opened. Jeri followed close behind as the group entered the lair. "Do you remember the last time we were here?" Rika asked as they walked down the seemingly endless tunnel.
Takato nodded and said "a lot has changed since then".
"What are we doing here anyway?" Jeri asked as she saw ChaosGallantmon shake his head.
"Jeri the only reason I allowed you come along with us is because Henry promised that you wouldn't ask any questions about this mission" he stated "we will explain everything to you once this is over".
Sakuyamon nodded and said "he's right, we were told that only the three of us can know about everything that's going on".
"Oh okay" Jeri said as they entered the main chamber which had been completely rebuilt after the D-Reaper War.
"Who do we have here" the Exalted Bird digimon Zhuqiaomon landed on the floor of the chamber "the humans and their partners. What do you want?"
ChaosGallantmon stepped forward "the Gem of Reality".
The Bird digimon looked at him and laughed "you must be kidding, and what makes you think I'm going to tell you where it is?"
The symbol of the Hazard glowed and the entire digital world began to shake. "That does" the Tamer of Chaos stated as he stared at Zhuqiaomon.
"Fine, just stop!" Zhuqiaomon shouted and the world returned to normal "it is in the abyss below my lair, be careful for there are things down there that are neither digimon nor human".
ChaosGallantmon nodded and turned towards the tunnel. He walked away soon followed by Sakuyamon and Jeri. "Did you have to do that?" Rika asked pointing to the Hazard symbol.
"Yeah, it is the only thing that Zhuqiaomon fears, he wouldn't have told us if I didn't" he replied as Jeri remembered the fight against Beelzemon after Leomon died. She still hated Impmon for doing that but forgave him for it a long time ago.
"What do you think is down there" Rika asked as she walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked down into the endless pit below.
"I have a few ideas" he stated as he summoned the powers of Chaos to create a dark version of the Dragon Glider: Grani. The dragon like glider hovered over the just off the edge of the cliff.
"How did you do that?" Rika asked as she stared at the glider.
"I picked up a few things during the past few months since Hyrule you know" he chuckled as he gestured for the others to get on "come on before the world ends".
They shook their heads and jumped on. "Hold on" he said as both Sakuyamon and Jeri clung to the magnetized armoured knight. He reeled the glider around and descended into the abyss. The surroundings were nothing but the colour black and dark. They continued to descend until several squeals were heard coming form the shadows. Three Phantom Ganons came into view and Takato immediately held out his lance. "Demon's Disaster!" he shouted as he fired off the beam weapon. Two of the phantasms were destroyed while the other narrowly dodged. He aimed for the phantom but felt a dark matter bolt hit his back. The entire glider reeled forward as he said "I'll deal with this lot, find the gem and get out". He demagnetized himself from the glider and waited for his two companions to let go. When they did he jumped off of the glider and ran across the black covered rock wall.
"How do we steer this thing?" Jeri asked as she attempted to stay balanced.
"I saw how he worked it, I think I can do the same" Rika stated as she took the controls. The glider continued to descend as Takato jumped from one side of the wall to the other.
"Demon's Disaster!" The attack was directed at a group of Phantoms but only hit one of them.
Another dark matter bolt hit his shoulder sending him crashing into a wall. He recovered in moments and now saw ten phantoms floating in front of him. 'This could be a problem' he thought as the phantoms all threw dark matter balls at him. He raised his shield to defend himself but he couldn't hold it for long. The bolts were hitting the shield with enough force to level a building in one shot.
He was pushed deeper into the rock 'this is getting me no' where, I have to…' the lights on his shield glowed red as he slowly moved out of the rock wall.
"Don't you remember the last time you did this, you have to find another way!" his shadow shouted in his ear as Takato aimed his shield at the phantoms.
"Judecca Prison!" the bright red light engulfed the phantasms, himself and everything within thirty meters.
About a hundred meters below, Rika and Jeri looked up to see the area they had been in moments ago destroyed. "Takato!" they both yelled when they saw Takato in his regular cloths and Guilmon descending the shaft. Rika moved the glider under them and caught them. The Tamer and his partner were both unconscious.
"Come on Gogglehead wake up" she said as she saw his eyes flutter for a moment.
"I hate it when I have to put all of my power into an attack" he said as excruciating pain rushed through his left arm where he wielded the shield in his ChaosGallantmon form. With great effort he sat up and winced as he felt the pain spread down his left side. He looked over at his partner and saw that the digital dino dedigivolved into Gigamon.
"Can we go home now Takato?" Gigamon asked as he climbed into Takato's bag.
Takato shook his head and said "soon but not until we find that gem".
"I think I see it!" Jeri exclaimed as she pointed down at a speck of light in the center of the abyss.
A chill then washed through Takato's and the digimon's bodies. 'What now?' He thought and was answered by a twenty foot tall shadow being digimon. He held out his D-Arc and scanned it.
Machinedramon, a mega level, virus type machine digimon. The sole controller of technology and the one master of electronics. His destructive power is only matched by his thirst for knowledge. His Giga Cannon and Dragon Fire attacks are nothing but divesting.
"This looks bad" Rika stated as the muck larger digimon fired a 'Giga Cannon' attack at them. They glider dodged but the sudden motion caused Jeri to fall of the edge and into the abyss below. "Jeri!" Sakuyamon shouted as another 'Giga Cannon' blast narrowly missed them.
"Go we'll be fine" Takato said as he rose to his feet and tried to steer the glider. Sakuyamon nodded reluctantly and dove off the edge of the glider. She disappeared after Jeri as Takato veered the glider to face the machine digimon. 'How do I get myself into these things?' He thought as he dodged another cannon attack and readied the Chaos sword.
Sakuyamon continued her nose dive through the darkness as she tried to gain speed. 'How do we get to her?' Rika thought as she began to see Jeri moving further and further away.
"We can't catch her but he might" Renamon stated as Jeri disappeared from view and reappeared on the near wall in Leomon's arms.
Sakuyamon slowed and hovered beside them. "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" she asked as Jeri cried on the lion digimon's shoulder.
"Oh Leomon your back" Jeri said as she hugged her partner.
Leomon smiled and said "thank Takato and Henry. They brought me back and I believe this is what you're looking for" he handed her a gem.
"Thanks, so that's what Henry was doing" Rika stated then remembered the Gogglehead "we have to go and help Takato". Leomon nodded as he followed Sakuyamon up the shaft.
Back at where Takato and Gigamon were. The glider dodged another blast and charged towards the machine digimon. He tried to hit Machinedramon but it just bounced off the armour, not even a scratch. 'Oh no' Machinedramon dropped as the Tamer saw its cannons fully charged 'I can't dodge that'.
"Mega Barrage!" came a voice from above; missiles of all kinds impacted the machine digimon sending Machinedramon further down the shaft. MegaGargomon flew to the gliders side and said "sorry I'm late".
"No problem, just hold this thing off for a few minutes" he said as he steered the glider behind MegaGargomon. While both Machine digimon traded fire with each other Gigamon crawled out of his bag and jumped into his Tamer's arms. "Do you think we can Bio-merge again?" he asked his partner.
"We've never done that after a 'Judecca Prison' attack Takato, I'm not sure if I'd be able to hold it" Gigamon stated as he Digivolved into Guilmon "but that doesn't mean we can't try".
Takato nodded and pulled out his D-Arc "Chaos Bio-merge Activate!"
"Guilmon Chaos Bio-merge too ChaosGallantmon" the unholy knight stood on the glider and saw Machinedramon turned to look at him.
'What am I thinking?' Takato thought as he aimed his lance at Machinedramon "Demon's Disaster!" The attack pushed the machine digimon back crashing into the wall behind him. He looked over at Henry and shouted "now!"
Henry nodded from inside his data sphere and aimed for Machinedramon. "Mega Barrage!" the salvo hit its target and Machinedramon shattered into data.
"I can't hold it" Guilmon stated as the data sphere collapsed and the two separated.
"It's okay" Takato said softly as Gigamon crawled into his bag and fell asleep. Sakuyamon and Leomon with Jeri in hand came into view. "You got here too late, were all done here" Takato said cheerfully as he pushed the pain in his arms to the back of his mind. "Did you get the gem?" he asked and saw Sakuyamon hold up the Gem of reality. "Good now we can get out of here" he stated as the group made their way out of the shaft and back to the surface of the digital world.
Once out of the shaft they landed on the digital dirt of the world's surface. Jeri turned too turned to Henry and Takato after they returned to their normal forms and said "thanks for bringing Leomon back".
"Henry here is the one who went for him" Takato stated as he gestured to the Tamer in question.
Henry blushed slightly and said "it was nothing really".
"Don't be so modest" the Tamer of Chaos said causing Henry to blush even more.
"Stop teasing them Gogglehead" Rika said as she smacked the Tamer of Chaos upside the head. Henry did the same which caused Takato to move away from the two and who had hit him.
"Hey" he whined "only Rika is supposed to hit me".
"What, so only girls you dream about get to hit you?" Terriermon said in a disappointing tone.
"Shut up Rabbit" Takato glared and then turned to the open area in front of the group. "Come on we're wasting time" he stated as he opened a portal back Shinjuku Park.
They all passed through with no problems and soon found themselves back in Guilmon's shed. It was now night and they had to be getting back. "We'll put the gem in its place tomorrow after school" Takato said as the group went their separate ways. Jeri, Leomon, Henry and Terriermon all went in the same direction because their houses weren't that far apart. Rika and Renamon disappeared in the other direction while the Tamer of Chaos carried his sleeping in-training from partner in his bag.
A chill soon covered his body and he knew what that meant. 'For god sake, every night' he thought as he quickly rushed home, dropped the still sleeping digimon and his bag off and then ran back out. He changing into his Chaos garments and rushed toward where a portal had opened. 'The gem better stop this from happening again, I need my sleep you know?' He thought as he now stood in the center of an empty factory with a squad of Moblins in front of him 'I might need some help'.
"Fine" DT jumped out of the Tamer's shadow and drew the shadow sword. Takato readied the Chaos sword but felt every bone in his body ache from the fight he had been in just a few hours ago. "Leave this to me" DT said as he charged the group of moblins. Takato just stood their as his shadow did all the work.
Author's Notes: Okay, now it's getting interesting. This story is approaching its climax so keep reading and see how it ends. As you might have guessed, this one is longer because I tried to put in a few embarrassing scenes. I'm sorry but it had to be done, moving on. Like I've said before tell me if something doesn't make sense and I will try and fix it. Oh and SEND ME SOME REVIEWS!!! (Sigh) sorry about that I got a little carried away. Anyways there is one last thing I'd like to say that needs to be said:
See you Later…
