Okay, just a thought but... that last male WASN'T Sam.

No, it wasn't. You may want to think it was this whole time, but it wasn't.

Okay! Time to continue!

Chapter 21

It's been a week since Guilmon had become Megidramon, and Naruto had only talked about it with the Season 2 Digidestined.

He had asked if Izzy could see if anything could be found about Megidramon, because he didn't know much about it.

He had come to this thought when he found out that Gallantmon wasn't made up.

Naruto sighed. Izzy was supposed to get together with him and the others today, and as such, he was walking towards Izzy's place, and knocked on the door.

"Hello, Mrs. Izumi. I'm here to see Izzy?"

"Oh! Takato. Izzy told me about you. Come on in." The woman replied, as he led him in, and took him to Izzy. "I've never seen Izzy so interested in something. Even Computers didn't catch his attention to this extent."

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, I'm not surprised. Finding out about a new Digimon that might have existed before is a catchy subject."

She sighed. "You're a Digidestined too, aren't you?"

Naruto shook his head. "Not quite. I'm similar but my job is different from his. His is balance between this one and the Digital World. My group, we call ourselves Tamers, protect the Human World from Rogue Digimon. We've been active for little more than 2 years."

"Huh... Izzy, Takato's here!"

"Oh! Takato, I didn't think you knew where I lived." Izzy said, head popping out of his room door. "Come on in."

Naruto nodded, and walked in.

"How about some snacks? Surely you're hungry."

Naruto shrugged. "Eh, I'll be fine. If Izzy wants some, then I'll take a few too, but otherwise, I'd rather you not go to the trouble."

"You're a sweet boy." She said with a smile.

"Just don't get me angry." Naruto shrugged. "No one likes me when I'm angry."

Izzy blinked. "What do you mean?"

"Hmm... Picture a Giant Kitsune with Nine tails, and the power to crush a mountain and cause a Tsunami in one swipe of a single tail." Naruto explained. "Last time I got angry enough, I took a form almost exactly like that, and blew up a Ruined City. Trust me, when I get Angry, hell Breaking Loose would be a godsend, as that would at least distract me long enough to calm down." He sighed. "Trust me, when it comes to Digimon Partnerships, Crazy things like that are pretty normal."

Izzy blinked. "I'd like to know how you did that later."

Naruto gazed into his eyes and shrugged. "You're too old to learn. Sorry."

"Too old?" Izzy echoed. "Nevermind. I think you'll be surprised at what I found out about Megidramon. It's not pleasant." His voice went grim. "The fact that Guilmon turning into Megidramon and retained his sanity is a Miracle in itself."

Naruto nodded, and walked into the room. Izzy sighed. "From what Gennai and I gathered, Megidramon is a Physical Embodiment of the Digital Hazard itself. Gennai gave me a pretty detailed Explanation on it. It like a Virus."

Naruto shook his head. "The Digital Hazard is a Virus. Like all Viruses, they can either help or destroy."

Izzy nodded. "Yes, but this one is meant to destroy anything Digital. Supposedly, Megidramon isn't even supposed to exist. It's very existence can destroy the Digital World in its entirety."

Naruto nodded. He felt as much while using. "Yeah, I figured that out first hand."

"If Guilmon turns into Megidramon, then I hope he can contain his power like he did last time. I don't think the Digital World can handle an Insane Megidramon."

Naruto sighed. "The Digital World can handle MegiGallantmon, a Combination of Megidramon and Gallantmon. It was in the description based on Guilmon Mega Form when I use the Hazard as a Catalyst for Digivolution. At the moment, even among the Tamers, I'm the only one capable of using it."

"Hazard Digivolution? Is it anything like the Digiegg of the Hazard?" Izzy asked.

Naruto shook his head. "Inside of Guilmon, there's effectively 2 Digivolution Matrices. Most Digimon only have one, but Guilmon has two, and for a reason. One is the Crystal Matrix, used in Normal and Armor Digivolution. Armor Digivolution puts a shield are the Crystal Matrix and allows the Digivolution, making it an Armor Digivolution. The other is the Hazard Matrix. This is what allows Guilmon to reach Mega level, without Biomerging, as it uses the Digital Hazard itself as the Catalyst. It can't be countered with the Dark Spires, and also relieves Guilmon of the Dark Rings. Seriously, one of those were slapped on him, and it deleted itself."

"Prodigious! Guilmon can't be affected by the Dark Rings?"

Naruto nodded. "The last 3 times it got him, and we counted them, they deleted themselves before they could take effect. It's the effect of the Digital Hazard. Guilmon isn't affected by them, which is a boon for us. I'm not sure if he tried making the Spirals beforehand, but the final straw was Andromon. That much I can guarantee. We may not have been there when the others were Chased by SkullGreymon, but... We heard about it, and the fact that the BlackMetalGreymon was attacking you all that day is one thing that leads me to believe that it's finished. I just hope that Kimeramon doesn't come to fruition."

"Kimeramon?" Izzy wondered.

Naruto nodded, before taking out a Laptop, surprising Izzy. "Where did you keep that Laptop?" Izzy wondered.

"Oh this?" He pointed to his left wristband. "I keep it, and a few other things inside of the Seals in my Left Wristband." He started typing on it, and brought up a page. "Take a look."

"Whoa! This is Kimeramon?" Izzy asked, earning a nod.

"Yeah, Kimeramon is actually a Vaccine type, but, if made prematurely, could easily go Viral, as if it were a Virus type."

"A Vaccine type going Viral?" Izzy wondered.

"'Going Viral' is really just a term for when a Virus Digimon loses its reasoning ability, normally during the heat of battle. I had anticipated this with Guilmon, as I really created him as a Rookie. I worked on him, and put him through the same training I went through, and, as it turned out, he didn't go Viral after the first month. Even then, in his Champion, Ultimate, and even his Mega forms, he hasn't gone Viral Since."

"Do you think you could teach our Digimon?"

Naruto thought about it, but shrugged. "Your Digimon don't actually need it. The older Generation has experience, and that beats out most, if not all training that one can do. True, I could probably match Wargreymon, but that's because of my Experience, and even then, I have more Energy and Skill than even Tai and Wargreymon."

Izzy's eyes sparkled. "Any chance you could show me a few of the Digimon you've seen?"

Naruto thought about it, and shrugged. "Why not? Although, I do have a condition."

"What would that be?" Izzy asked, curious.

Naruto hid his sadistic grin, and whispered in Izzy's ear, causing his eyes to widen. "You do that, and not only will I update your Laptop with things you'll never be able to get on your own, which includes all the Digimon I can access data on, and I'll even throw in an Anti-Virus Program that safely utilizes the Digital Hazard, which I've included on several Computers back in the South Quadrant. Unauthorized Access would equal the intruder or virus being Kicked out and deleted, in the case of a virus, or the computer being used to do so will be fired beyond repair. It helped Hypnos stop Hackers, and its the reason that not even Hypnos, a Government Organization, can hack into the Tamers' Server without my permission. Seriously, it's that secure."

"And how do you plan to get these particular upgrades if I can't?" Izzy questioned, not liking the condition.

Naruto just sent him a smug look. "Izzy, I've taken over a total of ten Casinos in the South and East Quadrants combined. I may only get 25% of the proceeds, but that's more than enough. With the connections I have, I can have the parts ready, US Military Issued parts, and then some. Things like that, I can easily get. I could even increase your Laptop's RAM to about 3 Petabytes. This thing has a good 4.5 Petabytes of RAM, and 10 Petabytes of Storage."

"You can actually do that?!" Izzy exclaimed.

"Izzy? Something up?" His mom walked in, confused.

"It's nothing bad mom!"

Naruto nodded his agreement. "He's right. I was just starting to tell him the specs of my Laptop here."

She blinked. "I didn't see a Laptop when you came in."

"You also didn't see 2 swords, 900 Kunai, 35 Military Grade Grenades, a .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle and the required Ammunition for it, 32 copies of Spare Computer Parts..." Naruto tapped his chin. "50 Blank Scrolls, 25 Gallons of Ink, 5 Playing Card Decks, my Spare Digimon Cards, and my Combat Outfit. Yeah, you're not going to see everything I've got on me with your eyes only."

Izzy fell backwards. "Isn't that a little overkill?"

Naruto shook his head. "Izzy, I never pull out my swords for a reason. The two are effectively my Toys of Mass Destruction. I would only use them in the Digital World. Using them on Humans are an insult to the craftsmanship and the effort I took into getting the Materials. Not to mention that it took me 80 hours to make one of them. I had to take the Fang off of an Ultimate Level Digital Snake that was trying to kill Innocent People. Needless to say I got my fill out of it."

"Wait, you took a Fang from a Digital Snake?"

Naruto nodded at Izzy. "I've got a lot of crazy and wacky stories, most of which you wouldn't believe. Such as how I skinned that Snake after I killed it."

"Wait, you deleted it?!" Izzy asked, incredulously.

Naruto shook his head. "If I deleted it, then it would've turned to data. It didn't. It was an actual death. Izzy, when you've been through what I have, you would understand why I stopped it from turning into Data and skinned it. My Hatred of Snakes would rise to the same level as what the Emperor is doing. At least, your reactions to what he's doing."

"What could Snakes have done to you?" Mrs. Izumi questioned, slightly scared of the answer.

"It swallowed me whole... All seven of them. And none of them were of the Digital Variety. I'd wager the smallest one was... 50 feet long give or take."

"Where did you see a Snake like that?!" She screamed. "And how did you survive?"

Naruto shook his head. "Honestly, the thing swallowed one of me, and, before I could digest... about 50 of me blew him up from the inside."

"Wait, it swallowed one but 50 came out?" Izzy asked.

"Trade Secret. Not explaining how." Naruto cut them off. "Anyway, the last one I took out, that wasn't a Digimon, was known as Manda. I used his left Fang for Ayvuir Order, one of my swords... I used it on a Dark Ring in front of the Emperor. Davis and Veemon were there, too. Ayvuir Chaos, my other sword, was made from the Ultimate Level Digimon. After my experience with Snakes, and what they cause for me, any Snake Digimon, if they're attacking, I'll delete them, or stop their Data from forming, and kill them. Rika knows to never stick around when a Snake shows up. She knows how I get, and knows that I'd rather not have anyone in the crossfire."

"I... I see..." Izzy breathed. "And the upgrades?" He was desperate for a Subject change.

Naruto shrugged. "As I said, keep your end of the bargain, and I'll keep my end." It was as if his talk about killing a Snake was inconsequential. "I never go back on my word. You do that, and I'll give you all that, and then some. If you want something else, I can probably get it done. You know that I made our D-Terminals, and they work."

Izzy thought on it for a good 3 minutes. "Alright, fine." He sighed. "But you better uphold your part of the deal."

"You do realize I'm gonna want proof of it. Actual Physical Proof, right? Pictures, Videos, the works." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "You really want the chance of it getting out?"

Izzy sighed. "With that much of an Upgrade... I think it could be worth it."

Naruto nodded. "Alright. I see the proof, and yes I'll hold on to it, those that aren't involved won't have to know, and I'll get the parts delivered straight to my place, and I'll let you know when they arrive. I'll show you what goes where, and how everything works, though I gather you could probably figure it out on your own."

Izzy sighed. "Alright, but is that all of it?"

Naruto nodded. "That's it. Remember, the proof makes it to my hands, and you get the upgrade. Otherwise, nothing."

"You know, you can be pretty devious." Izzy pointed out with a frown.

Naruto shrugged. "Tamer, Shinobi, and Prankster King of three worlds. I think that's a given." he got up, and his Laptop vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Where did it..."

"My left Wristband." Naruto cut Mrs. Izumi off.

"But..."

"Like I said, Trade Secret." Naruto told them. "Unfortunately, the secrets of that one, is restricted to certain families. All Tamers can use the basics, but anything beyond that is limited to two Tamers, both of which are in this city. The full aspects are a Family secret right now." He walked towards the front door. "See ya, Izzy. Remember, you keep your end, I'll keep mine."

He left not long afterwards, with a huge Fox-like grin. 'The Prank Demon strikes again.'

"I was wondering when that would come back."

'Kurama, the Prank Demon never left. As always, it's been lying in wait, simply looking for the right opportunity to strike.' Naruto thought back.

"Mind telling me what you've got going through your mind, Naruto?" They heard Rika ask.

'Rika... I just got Izzy to agree to something, and I fully intend to show you when the proof comes to me.' Naruto replied.

"Did you get him with the same thing I got YOU with?" He felt her smug smirk.

'Oh yeah.' Naruto replied. 'Difference is: he does it, I upgrade his Laptop to the same level mine is, and he gets 10 different outfits and then some. And you KNOW that Henry has been wanting that kind of upgrade on his own laptop.'

"Huh... Too bad I wouldn't understand most of it."

'Yeah, it is. I talk with those at Hypnos about it, and even Shibumi is a good man for that.' Naruto admitted.

"Come to think of it, those upgrades shouldn't be enough. What else did you say you'd get him?"

'Access to information on every Digimon I can see. Meaning, the four quadrants, not just ours, or this one. This includes the North and West Quadrants, too. Attacks, what to look for, possible weak points, the works. For a guy like Izzy, that much information would be heaven to him.' Naruto pointed out. 'And yes, I have all that information... Oh, and the Hazard Anti-Virus Program I came up with.'

"Oh... And what does Izzy have to do on his end?" Rika questioned.

'Rika, I'm getting Pictures, Videos, and then some from Mimi. You'll see everything and so will the other Tamers when we get back. If anyone asks, I managed to blackmail him to get those pictures.' Naruto told her.

"Good to know. It'll make it sound less like a deal, and more like it was forced. But then again..."

'I only say that, because I don't want others to think that it was his idea, or he liked the idea in the first place.' Naruto admitted. 'Funny or not, I know where the line is, and he IS a friend.'

"Huh. Alright. See you at home?"

'What about that Restaurant on seventh? It's getting close to lunch, and its a Saturday. Make a date out of it?' Naruto asked.

"Hmm... Why not? Hit the Digital World afterwards?"

'Mess with the Emperor's head?' Naruto suggested.

"I'm game."

'So, Dinner and a bunch of Destructive Mind Games. Sound like a plan?'

"Good enough for me." Rika replied. "See you there!"

Naruto felt the link close and grinned. Guilmon came out of the bushes nearby. Naruto then noticed he was near a park. "Guilmon?"

"Takatomon? Did you come to play with Wormmon too?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow, before sensing Ken nearby. "Nah, I was just passing by. I'm heading on a Date with Rika. After Dinner, we're gonna destroy some Towers. You in?"

Guilmon appeared to think about it. "If you want... I still didn't like when I became Megidramon."

Naruto nodded. "I figured. Besides, you don't need to Digivolve to handle a lot of his slaves, or a Tower. Remember, even in Rookie form, you've trained to beat out Ultimate Level Digimon. You'll be fine, but you don't have to come. Remember, I'm too hard to kill."

Guilmon nodded. "Alright! I'll come. Can I see if Wormmon can come?"

"If Ken wants to come, he can. It's not up to me." Naruto replied. "Have fun, Guilmon."

"Okay, Takato!" Guilmon grinned and ran back into the park, as Naruto went to a Restaurant, and saw Rika coming up. They nodded and went in.

After they ate, they grinned, and left. They got into an abandoned Alley, and Naruto contacted Guilmon Mentally. 'Guilmon, moment of truth. You coming or not?'

"Can I stay with Wormmon and Ken? They're fun to play with..." Naruto chuckled.

'Sure. We'll just go without you. Have fun!'

"Thanks!"

"No Guilmon."

"Renamon decided to stay here. She needs the rest." Rika admitted. "So, where we gonna end up?"

Naruto thought about it. "Lets go to a random spot and start from there. Deal?"

Rika nodded with a grin. "This is part of our date, so you know."

Naruto nodded with a fox grin. "Oh yeah." The two sank into the ground, only to reappear in a Forest.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Let's do this." She answered.

They went from Spire to spire for the next 4 hours, and saw how many they could destroy, until they met back up.

At the end of the four hours, Takato and Rika were standing next to each other, staring into a field of Control Spires. "Rika, how many do you have?" Naruto asked.

"14, you?"

"17. I found a trio about 20 minutes ago." Naruto admitted. "Hmm... There's a good 50 Spires here. It's enough for a Tie, and a Tiebreaker. Most at the end wins?"

"You're on."

"Twilight Slash!" Naruto swung his Ayvuir Blades in an "X" formation, causing it to head out and cut through 3 spires before it dissipated. "20."

Rika was in the air, in position for a Drop Kick. "Painful Sky leg!" The moment the leg hit the ground, a fissure appeared before her arms blurred, sending the debris flying into the Spires. "18." She was about to punch another one. "19," She grabbed the falling Spire, and threw it towards another one, causing more to fall. "21, 22, 23. Hey Naruto?"

BOOM! "29, Yes Rika?"

"Mother fucker! Raiton: Chidori Nagashi!" Lightning arced through the air, and caused 3 towers to malfunction and explode, taking 2 others with them. "28!"

BOOM! BOOM! "39!" Naruto shouted.

"Damn it! Oh well." Rika punched another, causing it to fall.

-Real World-

Kari was getting on the computer in her house, "I wonder..." The moment she pulled up a map of the Digital World, she found an area go from Black to White. A sure sign that the Emperor was losing control of the area. 'What's going on?'

Just then her D-Terminal went off.

From: TK

Rika and Takato are having a Date in the Digital World. I think they're going to take out a few Control Spires for fun, or something. Either that, or just flat out mess with the Emperor's head.

Kari blinked. 'Huh. So that's what's going on.'

-with Rika and Naruto-

The final Spire fell, and the two just looked on, not even winded. "So..." Naruto started.

"You win, because I had 37."

Naruto grinned at her. "So, wanna see if the Emperor is still here so we can play a prank on him?"

Before she could reply, their D-Terminals went off. As they read the message, they blinked.

From: Takato

Destruction Competition. Rika destroyed 37 Control Spires, and I got 44. Gonna see if the Emperor is still here to prank him. Wish me luck! Oh, and Izzy? I'm letting Mimi know the moment I get home.

After a bit, Naruto got another message.

I never got an answer to my Question. How did you know where I live?

From: Izzy

Naruto sweatdropped.

To: Izzy

Dude, I followed your Digivice, after pinpointing your general area with my natural Senses.

From: Takato

Naruto looked at Rika. "How much you wanna bet that Izzy is probably hitting himself right now?"

"No bet." Rika replied.

Rika got a message from Izzy.

From: Izzy

This is Izzy's mother. Why is my son hitting his head on the wall?

Rika blinked. "As I said, No bet." She told him, before sending a reply.

From: Rika

He overlooked an Obvious answer as to how Takato knew where he lived. He didn't know, he just followed the Signals.

It's often the most simple solutions that are overlooked with the Geniuses.

Takato got another one.

From: Izzy

Takato, your girlfriend can be a witch.

Naruto blinked.

TAKATO: Izzy, she's not a witch, or anything of the like. She's Insane and proud of it, as am I.

KARI: Takato, why would you call yourself insane?

RIKA: It's because he can't remember a time when he WAS sane.

TAKATO: She's right. I don't.

TK: That's just disturbing.

BAKER MAN: You get used to it.

TAKATO: blinks Dad is that you?

BAKER MAN: yeah, why?

DA VIS: How did you get into this?

BAKER MAN: Takato left a Chat Room on the Desktop.

TAKATO: For some reason, I'm not surprised you're using it now.

BAKEN MAN: Saw that coming. By the way, what's the Core Room?

KARI: ?

DAVIS: ?

IZZY: Core Room?

TAKATO: Is the Core Room button active?

BAKER MAN: Yeah, why?

RABBIT HAS LOGGED ON

RABBIT: I wonder if anyone is on.

TAKATO: Henry?

RABBIT: Takato? I thought you wouldn't have been able to contact us.

DAVIS: Henry? Takato who is this?

TAKATO: Henry, I'll be blunt about this. Season 2 Digidestined are on, along with me, Rika, Izzy... and Tai.

RABBIT: Okay... Good news and Bad news. Which one?

RIKA: Bad news.

RABBIT: Ryo's gone missing.

TAKATO: Why is he missing?

RABBIT: Don't ask me! I don't know. Anyway, the good news is, nothing has Bioemerged recently.

DAVIS: Dude! Who's your partner?

RABBIT: Momentai!

TAKATO: Terriermon...

RIKA: Terriermon...

RABBIT: Sorry, but my partner just got the keyboard. Takato, how long until you can come back?

TAKATO: Henry, this is going to take a LOT longer than I originally thought.

HENRY: Dare I ask?

RIKA: The Emperor is still around, and I saw both Ken and the Emperor stare each other down.

HENRY: Okay, how does that happen?

TAKATO: Ken's not the emperor. A Reincarnation is one thing we know, but he still looks the same as in the show. Send me an email through the Core Room? I think that, since the show can't really show us much else in the way of the plot, I think it'll be safe to show the Digidestined.

HENRY: Alright. It's a good thing I ripped them off my DVD. Oh, and a new Season of Digimon is coming through. First episode is scheduled to air tomorrow.

TAKATO: They're probably taking it from the North or East Quadrants.

HENRY: I'm betting North. Kazu got taken up by Baihumon and transported there. Don't ask why. I don't know.

TAMER OF LIGHT HAS LOGGED ON

TAMER OF LIGHT: Henry, you on?

HENRY: Yes, Kazu. I'll give you the short version. Takato and Rika are in the East Quadrant and the Second Season is still there. Some kind of problem, and it seems like they need a new plan.

TAMER OF LIGHT: Huh. Yo, Gogglehead! You having problems with Guilmon again?

TAKATO: No, Kazu, I'm not... Aside from the usual ones. The problem here is the Digimon Emperor. He's more cunning, and acts differently than what I remember of the show. In addition, I've realized that his partner ISN'T a Wormmon.

TAMER OF LIGHT: That's impossible. I mean, the Emperor is...

KEN: Not me. I stared him down a week ago. Takato already filled me in on that part.

TAMER OF LIGHT: …. Alright, Chaos. Spill it. What happened?

KARI: Chaos?

TAKATO: Past Codename. I'll give you guys the short version. Give this to Kakashi, Henry. He'll want to know. The emperor is someone else reincarnated. Digiegg of Kindness is also present, and Ken has it. Big news that I figure is both good and bad.

LEO HYUUGA HAS LOGGED ON

TAKATO: Jeri?

LEO HYUUGA: Takato? Why aren't you using your usual Chat name?

TAKATO: I'll fill you in later. Big news I was mentioning: There's a Digiegg of the Hazard, and I have it.

TAMER OF THE LIGHT: Dude! How is that even possible?!

HENRY: Kazu, did you forget who we're talking about?

LEO HYUUGA: I take it that's not supposed to be a real Digiegg.

TAMER OF THE LIGHT: It isn't. There's no such thing as the Digiegg of the Hazard... At least there wasn't...

MARINEANGEMON has logged on

TAKATO: MarineAngemon? How did you log on to this?

MARINEANGEMON: I'M USING KENTA'S COMPUTER.

LEO HYUUGA: Takato, I'm going out on a limb and say that you got that Digiegg because of your Anti-Reality Card.

TAKATO: At least someone understands what my presence does.

TAMER OF THE LIGHT: Jeri, he gave up the Anti-Reality card when he was reborn.

TAKATO: Actually, Kazu, it stuck with me. It's tied to my soul. Same thing with my mother, who I swear is more impulsive than I am!

HENRY: She's not that bad.

TAKATO: I'm not talking about the one I have now. I'm talking about Kushina Uzumaki.

LEO HYUUGA: Oh... That makes more sense.

KARI: How so? And why does he call himself Tamer of the Light?

TAKATO: Kushina used her Anti-Reality Card to cheat death and talk to me in my mind. She did the same to Yoshie Matsuki, my current mother.

RED DEATH HAS LOGGED ON

TK: Okay, who are you?

RED DEATH: Naruto, which one are you?

TAKATO: Please tell me I'm wrong, and you didn't play your Anti-Reality card AGAIN...

RED DEATH: Yup! So, how ya doing?

RIKA: Kushina? Is that you?

HENRY: Kushina is dead.

TAKATO: Anti-Reality Card, Henry. It's tied to the soul of an Uzumaki. It's why I kept mine when I was reborn as Takato. It's why Kushina has hers even though she's supposed to be dead.

RIKA: It's why I managed to Warp-Digivolve Renamon yesterday.

HENRY: No Biomerge?

RIKA: No Biomerge.

TAI: Okay, Red Death, what's going on? And What's an Anti-Reality Card?

RED DEATH: I'll explain it, then. An Anti-Reality Card is in use by certain people. They're used by people where Logic doesn't make any sense as long as they're involved.

TAKATO: Long explanation short, someone like Tai, Davis, and myself. The three of us are so off our rockers that, the moment we get involved, Logic isn't thrown out the window. It jumps out.

RIKA: And then it runs as if the Devil itself was after it.

RED DEATH: In my case, that's actually more fact than fiction. Anyway, hows the love life, Naruto?

TAKATO: Mom... Do you want to know what I managed to get someone else to do?

IZZY: Takato! I thought we agreed that...

TAKATO: Izzy, I wouldn't be surprised if she already knows.

RED DEATH: You're right, I do know. Yami pushed him to agree to it.

YELLOW FLASH HAS LOGGED ON

TAKATO: Oh come on! Dad has one too?!

BAKER MAN: Looks like it, son.

YELLOW FLASH: You talking about the Anti-Reality Card?

RED DEATH: Yes.

YELLOW FLASH: Naruto, I should probably tell you I played that card three times after I died. Once with you, once with Takehiro, and once a couple months ago.

RED DEATH: Wait, how come I didn't know this?

YELLOW FLASH: Honey, something took my Anti-Reality Card, and it's pulling me along with it. Shinigami-sama is letting it happen, for some reason.

IZZY: Shinigami-sama? You mean the Shinigami exists?

TAKATO: Duh. He sealed Kurama inside of my stomach years ago.

TAI: You never told us that.

TAKATO: You never asked.

There was a lull in the messages, and Rika looked at Takato. "What?"

KARI: You know, I think the reason you don't tell us much is because we don't ask the right questions.

TAKATO: You just figured that out?

DAVIS: Hey!

RIKA: Takato's got a point guys. I would have expected all of you to figure that out a LONG time ago.

KAZU: Seriously, though. If you don't ask the right answers, how do you expect to learn?

RIKA: Shut it, dog breath!

MARINEAGEMON: Yeah! Shut it!

HENRY: I'm back, and I just sent it.

TAKATO: Thanks Henry. I owe you one. I'll burn it onto a Bluray Disc, and have it play with my PS3.

BAKER MAN: When did you get a PS3?

TAKATO: Do you value your Sanity?

BAKER MAN: I lost it when you fought D-Reaper.

TAKATO: Oh. Okay. I bought it 3 months before we came to the East Quadrant.

IZZY: What's a PS3?

DAVIS: Dude! PS3 hasn't even come out yet!

TAKATO: Not for me. And Izzy, THIS is how I can get the parts.

IZZY: You mean you can get things before they're sold to the public?

RIKA: Try the moment they're tested.

TAKATO: I know how to get things LONG before I should be able to. One of the Perks of an Anti-Reality Card.

YELLOW FLASH: Oh, Naruto? I think that someone's trying to pull me out of the Afterlife.

RIKA: How does that work when you are supposed to be in the Shinigami's Stomach?

RED DEATH: I'm wondering that too.

YELLOW FLASH: I blame the Anti-Reality card.

TAKATO: Okay.

RIKA: Got it.

RED DEATH: Figures.

BAKER MAN: Minato, I'm wondering something.

YELLOW FLASH: What's up? Wondering how to handle Naruto?

BAKER MAN: No. how do you lose an Anti-Reality Card?

YELLOW FLASH: Beats me. Dunno how I got it in the first place.

RED DEATH: You're born with it. You die with it. You get reborn with it.

TAKATO: Which explains why I still have mine.

YOLEI: Naruto, we've got a problem in the Digital World.

TAKATO: Rika and I are in the Digital World.

YOLEI: Did you just free 8 areas in the past five minutes?

RIKA: No, we didn't.

YOLEI: Well, someone did.

Naruto looked out. "I'm feeling a faint Chakra Signature..."

RIKA: He's picking up something, but I can't.

"Can you find out who it is?" Rika asked.

"Working on it." Naruto admitted, before his eyes widened.

TAKATO: Henry, you still on?

HENRY: Yeah, why?

TAKATO: Found Ryo. He's in the East Quadrant. Don't ask me how, though.

YOLEI: Who's Ryo?

KEN: Ryo? As in, Ryo Akiyama?

TAKATO: One and the Same.

KEN: I know him! He and I faced Milleniummon a while back.

TAKATO: I figured. Anyway, did he ever summon Ice in front of you?

KEN: A few times, but he never explained it.

RIKA: It's the same one we know.

KEN: Does he have an actual partner now? He didn't last time we met.

TAKATO: yeah, he's got a Monodramon that prefers to be a Cyberdramon.

RIKA: In the South Quadrant he's known as the Digimon King, while I am the Digimon Queen.

HENRY: Even though Takato can beat him any day of the week.

DIGITAL ICE KING HAS LOGGED ON.

RIKA: Only one person I know would use that name.

DIGITAL ICE KING: Rika? I didn't know you could access a D-Terminal Chat room.

TAKATO: Haku, we BOTH can. If you don't mind my asking, how did you get into the East Quadrant? It's been locked down since Rika and I got here.

DIGITAL ICE KING: Naruto? Huh... You two are in the East Quadrant?

KEN: please tell me that's you Ryo.

DIGITAL ICE KING: Ken?!

KEN: I saw the downfall of Milleniummon, but then you disappeared later on. What happened?

DIGITAL ICE KING: Milleniummon was reborn as ZeedMilleniummon, and I had to take him out again. When did you get a D-Terminal?

KEN: When I got the Digiegg of Kindness. How did you do it?

DIGITAL ICE KING: Trust me on this one. You don't want to know.

TAKATO: And what about us? You're a Tamer now.

DIGITAL ICE KING: Well... Actually, I think I should let you know something. I managed to reformat ZeedMilleniummon. It wasn't easy, I'll admit, but I did it. The end result was Cyberdramon. The final battle was in the Dark Ocean, and the place falls between the Real and Digital Worlds. And by that, I mean ALL Digital Worlds.

RIKA: You mean to tell us you got in here through the Dark Ocean?

DIGITAL ICE KING: yeah, it works, as it's not really a part of the Digital World, or the Real World. As it lies between the worlds, you can use it to go to the Real World of any Quadrant, even Real Worlds that aren't connected to the main four Quadrants. There's at least 20 Sectors of the Digital World, only five of which are ruled by a Sovereign.

HENRY: Wait, there's more than the Four Quadrants?

TAKATO: And there's also the Central Core, which is usually ruled by Fanglongmon.

DIGITAL ICE KING: Who do you think placed me in the South Quadrant after we finally beat ZeedMilleniummon?

KEN: Ryo, we were all worried about you. Even...

DIGITAL ICE KING: if you're talking about Sam, he's alive. Possessed, but alive.

KEN: but that's impossible. His body was buried, and I saw it!

DIGITAL ICE KING: If you ask me he probably has an Anti-Reality Card, or something to that effect.

TRUE DEATH HAS LOGGED ON

TRUE DEATH: Kushina, Minato, I can't believe you're using those cards of yours to do this!

YELLOW FLASH: I'm still in your stomach, though I'm missing my body from the waist down.

TAKATO: Shinigami-sama?

TRUE DEATH: Yes, blonde pain in the ass?

TAKATO: Did you really just send me to another world at random? Or did you and Kami fuck up so badly and sent me to the Southern Quadrant because Omega escaped the seal and crossed worlds?

TRUE DEATH: It was actually someone else that fucked up. Omega broke free two weeks before you died. I kept a close eye on the seal, but it never really broke. It's life force had found a leak into the Space-Time continuum. He got out, and I realized it first. Damn Fates...

TAKATO: Fate doesn't rule my life. Never has, and never will.

TRUE DEATH: it's because of your Anti-Reality Card.

RED DEATH: Did you know they pushed back his death? I was glad, until I found out why. They knew beforehand. They KNEW Omega would get out!

YELLOW FLASH: Damn fates... I wish they would just die...

TRUE DEATH: 90% of all gods and Goddesses want me to just take their souls, but we ALL know I can't until they're Status is revoked. If not for that I'd have done it centuries ago.

BAKER MAN: Minato, you said that your Card was taken, right? Any idea where it is?

YELLOW FLASH: Not a clue.

LIFE RULER HAS LOGGED IN.

LIFE RULER: Kushina, I found something interesting. Your husband's Anti-Reality Card has been transferred to another soul.

RED DEATH: What does that mean?

LIFE RULER: It means Reincarnation. The same thing happened with your son years ago. And for the record, yours will not leave you until a certain point in your son's life.

IZZY: Who are you, Life Ruler?

RED DEATH: That would be Kami, the Creator Goddess. She's also my current boss.

TAI: Wait, you're Kami? THE Kami?!

LIFE RULER: yes, I am. Shini-kun, I believe that you should head back. Apparently, Shukaku is trying to escape again.

TAKATO: Kami-sama, if you don't mind my asking, do you know where my father will be reincarnated?

TRUE DEATH: I am highly annoyed that you went through MY stomach for this!

LIFE RULER: I did not do that, Shini-kun. It was forced from the living world. I can also sense that my previous champion, who just so happened to be Minato's son, is in the same world as where it was at. The Mortal is the one to pull it. I did not send it.

TAKATO: Okay... Who has it?

LIFE RULER: That's the thing. The one that took it is neither alive, nor is he dead.

KEN: Shinigami-sama, if I may ask a question.

TRUE DEATH: No.

KEN: Sorry...

TRUE DEATH: That is the answer to your question, you idiot.

YOU FEELING LUCKY HAS LOGGED ON.

YOU FEELING LUCKY: Kami, Shinigami! I just found something interesting! Oh! Hi Naruto-kun Thanks for that daughter!

RIKA: Who is this, Takato?

TAKATO: Past life. Before I met you.

RIKA: Listen you little...

TAKATO: Rika, don't get mad at her. Trust me.

RIKA: And who is she to take my man?

TAKATO: That, Sakura, is known in Greek Mythology as Tyche. Most call her Lady Luck though. She's also one hell of a Prankster.

IZZY: Wait, you're a goddess of Luck?

YOU FEELING LUCKY: yes, Koushiro. I am. I should let you know something about the one you know as Takato.

IZZY: Is it Blackmail Material?

YOU FEELING LUCKY: Not quite.

TAI: I'm curious about this, as well.

RIKA: Is this about your supposed daughter?

YOU FEELING LUCKY: Actually, it is, Rika. Koushiro, I'm sure you know your current mother, correct?

IZZY: She's looking at my D-Terminal now.

YOU FEELING LUCKY: Oh goodie! Yoshie, I'm going to tell you this now. You're my daughter with Naruto Uzumaki, 10 years before he was reborn as Takato Matsuki.

IZZY: She just fainted.

TAKATO: You mean to tell me that she's my DAUGHTER?!

YOU FEELING LUCKY: Yes, she is.

RIKA: Takato... I'm sorry to say this but... You're life is pretty fucked up.

TAKATO: Tell me something I don't know.

RIKA: I open-mouth kissed a horse once.

TAKATO: Did you get into my Austin Powers Movies?

RED DEATH: You got those too?

TAI: I do. Those movies are hilarious!

RIKA: Yes, I did, and how do you get them when you're dead?

TRUE DEATH: Mike Myers is a Comedic Genius up here. The one thing Fate agrees with every other god and goddess on is that right there.

KAZU: Hey, where did the Season 2 Digidestined go?

TAI: Kari had to go to bed. Jun, Davis's sister, told Matt that Davis had to go to bed too.

RED DEATH: So, Rika, how is he?

RIKA: Depends on what part.

RED DEATH: I know he's been using Anti-Fertility Seals. So...?

RIKA: That's private.

KAZU: Dude, you finally get yourself laid?

TAKATO: good thing my dad logged off. Kazu that happened back in the South Quadrant... I got her on that Field Trip to the mountains.

RIKA: I still don't get how you went through my clothes without taking them off.

TAKATO: Rika...

RIKA: I know, you're a master of the Impossible, but it does make me wonder.

TAKATO: …..

YELLOW FLASH: he probably did the same thing I did.

TAKATO: According to Fukasaku, that would be impossible, as you never went through Sage Mode Training.

YELLOW FLASH: And how did that come into play?

TAKATO: Nature Chakra has more advantages if you know what to do.

RED DEATH: Nature Chakra helped you do it?

TAKATO: Yup!

TAI: Takato... are you experienced?

TAKATO: Tai, I'm going to be straight with you. I have at least 8 children, all of which are older than I am. Yes. I'm Experienced. No, I'm not going after your sister... Rika wouldn't let me.

KAZU: I would! I'm free!

TAI: Is he always like this?

TAKATO: Unfortunately.

KAZU: hey!

RIKA: Shut up Dog breath!

RYO: Rika, I think I should tell you this now. I'll be in the Dark Ocean. There's also trouble in the North Quadrant, and two of the Three Celestial Digimon, who are second to Ebonwumon, have taken the reigns. They're gonna need help. Ken still there?

Pause.

TAKATO: Guess not. Henry?

Pause.

RIKA: MarineAngemon?

Pause.

TAKATO: Guess its just us.

YOU FEELING LUCKY: Oh, Naruto-kun? I'm going to tell your eighth child that her father is a 13 year old kid.

IZZY: She already knows. Remember, she read it.

TRUE DEATH: Tyche, leave the poor mortal alone.

LIFE RULER: Shini-kun, leave her alone.

TRUE DEATH: She keeps this up, I'm gonna get 3 people ahead of schedule.

DARKNESS: I did not know the two of you were here, brother. Sister.

LIFE RULER: Yami-chan?

DARKNESS: Who else?

TAKATO: Yami-sama, thank you for the information.

DARKNESS: I predicted the BS that those two didn't, and I was ready, while they weren't. They found out AFTER you were reborn. They're only trying to cover their asses now. Why do you think I gave you Kurama's memories in the first place?

TAKATO:... I like you.

RED DEATH: Sochi?

TAKATO: He saw something coming, and prepared in a way I liked. He may not have told me, but at least he gave me the information I needed to prepare myself.

RYO: Yami-sama, I also must thank you. If not for you, I wouldn't have truly beaten Milleniummon.

DARKNESS: You're originally from my realm. Why do you think I'd give you a new life, and work with Fanglongmon to help you defeat Milleniummon last time?

RYO: I still must thank you.

TAKATO: Come to think of it, how did you get in here without us noticing?

DARKNESS: Naruto I was listening to the entire thing.

TAKATO: Oh. Tai, let Kari know that there's gonna be a meeting in two days.

RIKA: Tomorrow is a Spire Destruction contest.

KAZU: hey, Ryo! Is it possible for you to get me there?

RYO: Kazu, do your Job in the North. We'll handle the East.

KAZU: Fine. But I hope I get some help here. And soon. I'm on my own here, and the locals are worried about Fractal Codes, or something.

RYO: Instead of data, Fractal Codes are released when a Digimon is supposedly deleted. Thing is, the North Quadrant should have a Digivice model of their own.

KAZU: Is that why my D-Ark changed shape?

TAKATO: It really only changed to fit the situation, Kiba. TK and Kari had their D-powers changed into D-3s when the situation called for it, remember?

KAZU: Yeah, I guess. Is it supposed to look like a D-3, though? It looks like a cross between a D-3 and a D-Ark.

RIKA: That's odd... D-3s are in use in the East right now.

KAZU: I know that.

RYO: Kazu, the North doesn't use a D-3. I may not have seen one, but I do know that what they use is called a D-Tector. Should be longer, and not oval shaped.

TAKATO: Ryo, I think you should go and check it out. But before you do, I have a question.

RED DEATH: I think we may be able to answer it better.

TAKATO: Don't think so, Kaa-san. Ryo, you know about the Digieggs, right?

RYO: Yeah, one for each Crest of Virtue, One for each Legendary Warrior, those didn't make the Card Game by the way, one for the Zero Unit which is known as the Digiegg of the Matrix, and one for the Digital Hazard. The Digiegg of the Matrix and Digiegg of the Hazard never made it into the Card game, and for good reason.

RIKA: Wait, there's really a Digiegg of the Hazard?

RYO: Yeah, its supposed to be in the West Quadrant right now, same with the Digiegg of the Matrix. Why?

TAKATO: Ryo... I have the Digiegg of the Hazard.

RYO: Huh... Probably should've seen that one coming. So, what did Guilmon turn into?

TAKATO: Megidramon

RYO: Mega Level, Evil Dragon, Virus Type, bearer of the Digital Hazard? That Megidramon?

TAKATO: You know of it?

RYO: Takato, you're talking to someone that traveled through the Space-Time Continuum to fight off against a single Digimon. I've seen a lot of things that I probably shouldn't have. I only knew of Megidramon and Gallantmon, though. Nothing below their Mega forms either.

IZZY: So, you know a lot about Megidramon?

RYO: Izzy, I saw the first Megidramon, as it helped me with Milleniummon once. Poor guy got deleted. Haven't seen Megidramon or Gallantmon since.

RIKA: Takato and I will need to get home. Tai, Izzy, get some rest. Trust me, you'll need it.

Naruto looked at Rika. "You do realize we're sitting on our bed, right?" He asked, causing her to blink, and look around.

"Okay, how did you do that?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

Rika sighed. "Let me rephrase that. When did you do that?"

"When Tyche came into the chat." Naruto admitted.

TAKATO: Rika and I will have to get some rest. Night, Tai. Hope you can sleep Izzy.

Naruto put the D-Terminal down, and sighed, before taking a shower, which Rika joined him in. They both got dressed, and fell asleep in each others arms.

THISISALINEBREAKTHISISALINEBREAKTHISISAWARKWARKWAR KWARK

Chapter complete!

Okay, this is mainly a filler chapter. The chatroom thing got out of hand, and it wouldn't stop.

Anyway, Ryo knows more about the Digieggs than anyone else!

Sam is not dead! But if that's the case then where is he?

Minato is confirmed to be reincarnated, but to who? And who is neither dead, nor alive? Is it a Zombie? A Digimon?

Also, I'm working on another story, which is really just a response to a challenge by Johnljohnsibn. It's a Digimon/Naruto Xover, in which Naruto becomes the father of one of the Digidestined, and gains a partner of his own.

I put him in the South Quadrant, the Tamer's Realm, and have him as Rika's father, who got sucked into a tornado and sent to the Digital World, only to find Patamon as a partner and find a way to have Patamon Warp-Digivolve into Murmukusmon.

Patamon's forms:

Rookie → Patamon

Champion → Angemon

Ultimate → MagnaAngemon

Mega (Warp) → Murmukusmon

Mega (Biomerge, hasn't popped in yet) → Seraphimon

Digieggs:

Courage → Baromon

Friendship → Stegomon

Love → Pipismon

Sincerity → Ponchomon

Knowledge → Mothmon

Reliability → Mantaraymon

Hope → Pegasusmon

Light → Manbomon

Kindness → Prairiemon

Miracles → Rhinomon

Destiny → Rhinomon

I'll also be posting this in the other one, when I post it.

ALL HAIL INSANITY! ALL HAIL THE LOG!
