Ruki44: Well this chapter is rather short, but then again, another chapter is coming out this week, possibly two. I figured I'm going to up the number of chapters per week so I can finally finish this thing before August ends. I'm on episode 42, so I have 13 chapters left.

Ruki: 13?

Ruki44: About that. The nine for the rest of the episodes, the two for the movies, the one for the CD Drama, and the one for the epilouge.

Tetra: Oh...I can't believe this is almost over.

Hinata: Too bad.

Rukia: What are you going to do after this?

Ruki44: Work on Twilight Rewrite.

Tetra: Yes!

Ruki: What about Dusk?

Hinata: What about The Demon Prince and The Rising of the Fallen?!

Ruki44: Ruki, you're story is going to be like Twilight Rewrite, updated about once a month, second main project story, and Hinata you know you're stories are on hiatus.

Hinata: Son of a bitch!

Rukia: Are you going to make a sequel to this story? Because people are probably going to ask.

Ruki44: Nah. That would require too much work and thinking. Though if anybody else wants to write one, go right ahead.

Ruki: Wow...you're lazy.

Ruki44: Yes, yes I am. Now I don't own anything! On to the story!

Chapter 25

"Impmon was right, we are out of our tiney tiny mind." Kyuubimon huffed as she sprinted across the desert back to where Takato and the others were. I was on her back, holding a sleeping Impmon in front of me.

"We'll make it." I assured her.

"Not at the rate I'm crawling along." She shot back. "I need more strength." I smirked and flipped open my card holder, pulling out a card.

"Got you covered!" I told her, as I swiped the card. "Digi-Modify! Hyper speed activate!"

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"Rika!" I squinted my eyes and saw Ryo on Cyberdramon flying towards me.

"Ryo?" I yelled out confused. What the hell was he doing? We quickly caught up to them and we both started heading back towards where the arc was.

"The arc is here! We need to get back! Takato is refusing to get on without you." Ryo yelled to me over the roaring winds. I groaned, that was so like him. I didn't know to be flattered or to hit that boy.

"That is so like him." I grumbled. All of a sudden I was able to make out some yelling. It seemed like 'Get on Takato.' Ryo started to speed up.

"Hey wait for us!" He yelled. I prodded Kyuubimon.

"Come on, you heard Ryo. Takato is being stupid and refusing to get on without me." I told her with a smile. Kyuubimon nodded.

"Hold on tight." She told me as we sprinted after Ryo.

"Look who I found!" Ryo yelled and I could see Takato standing on the ground, Calumon in his hands as the arc swayed in the sky, hovering it seemed...except it was sort of attached to strings.

"Rika!" Takato yelled happily! "I knew you would come back!" I smiled. Takato was sort of like a dog. You leave to go to the supermarket and when you come back an hour later he greets you like you've been gone years. I ran up ahead of Ryo and stuck my hand out.

"Hey there! Need a lift?" I yelled as Takato grinned even wider and grabbed on to my hand as Kyuubimon jumped into the arc, de-Digivolving into Renamon as we entered the arc. Ryo and Cyberdramon soon followed, but Cyberdramon de-Digivolved into a purple dinosaur, making us slam against the inside of the arc. Stupid purple dinosaur...I shall call him Barney! That will serve him right! The shame he will feel from being compared to a dinosaur that sings about love!

"Well Ms. Tardy, what do you have to say for yourself?" Kazu demanded as we managed to sit back up. I looked down at Impmon in my arms.

"Sorry." I mumbled. Kazu narrowed his eyes when he saw who it was.

"It's him." He growled before looking up at me. "Rika are you out of your chicken fried mind? You went back to save Impmon?" Kazu demanded, a sour look on his face. I nodded my head. Kazu looked at Jeri (who we still need to decide if she is a zombie or druggie) and sighed, placing his arms behind his head and leaned back against Guardromon.

"Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you're crazier then catfish." I didn't say anything because it was true...but I don't see how a catfish was crazy.

"Because cats eat fish!" Ruki told me like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I sighed. In my mind, an idiot lurks.

"Crazier then catfish." Guardromon imitated Kazu. And outside of it I was surrounded by morons. Awesome.

"Hey! Come up with your own line!" Kazu yelled at his partner. I rolled my eyes. Like his was so great anyways. Just then Kazu looked around wildly before staring directly at Kenta's pants.

"I see something with my little eyes that starts with gay clown." Ruki yelled. I sighed.

'Please stop quoting Little Kuriboh.' I told her. Stupid Yu Gi Oh Abridged series...

"My voice gives me super strength!" I don't remember taking in sugar...Just then Kenta's pocket began to glow and out came a D-Arc along with MarineAngemon.

"A Digivice." Kenta breathed amazed.

"HOLY &*%$ ON A SANDWHICH!" MarineAngemon yelled. Yea...pretty much sums up everything. I gave Takato a sidewise glance that said 'poor MarineAngemon' as Kenta began to gloat. The mega Digimon pretty much gets paired up with the most useless guy on this team. Takato nodded his head and I turned to see Kazu and Kenta arguing...again.

"Will you two knock it off. I'm getting a migraine." I growled giving each of them death glares. That prompted them to shut up rather quickly.

XxXxXxXxXx

We were still trucking along and Takato and Guilmon were talking about bread or something. I gave a side glance to the zombie Jeri and frowned a bit. I crawled to where she was and put my hand on Lucifer's head.

"Don't worry Jeri, we're almost home." I told her, petting the satanic sock puppet. I'm not going to lie, even touching that thing freaked me out, but I figure if I give her positive encouragement, she'd revert back from her Zombie state to her emo state then to her normal state. Perfect plan. "Hang in there, ok?"

"So tell me something Rika." I looked over at Ryo who was smirking at me. "What do I get for saving your life not once, but twice." That bastard was coming on to me! I gave him a sweet smile.

"I'll kick your ass." I told him. Ryo laughed.

"Yea right. You wish." I smiled even wider and was about to punch him right in the face when Takato placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked over to him and she shot me a stern look not to revert to physical violence. I frowned and kept staring at me and I sighed. Damn it.

Just then it seemed like something crashed into us.

"Why do I get the feeling this just isn't turbulence?" Kenta moaned as it seemed the arc seemed to sink back down. Well I'm not going to lie, I totally expected something like this to happen.

"What's happening?" Henry asked.

"Um...looks like the light track is disappearing, what does that mean Takato?" Guilmon answered. I can you what it means. It means we're pretty much screwed...again.

"I think it means we're going to die." Takato told Guilmon in an incredibly calm and straightforward way. If I didn't know better, I wouldn't believe him. He then looked at the Nintendo DS and frowned. "Damn it, what now." He muttered. "We're hanging in the middle of nowhere. Ugh...what else could go wrong."

"Henry, it feels like we're falling." Suzy suddenly piped up. And indeed, it did. Damn it Takato, you just had to say that!

"I think the arc has lost all of its strength." Lopmon informed us as she tried to get away from Suzy's hug of death. Like that was going to happen.

"Man, why do things keep going wrong? When will stuff stop going wrong?!" Kazu demanded, frustrated at the fact of our demise was coming sooner then we all had thought.

"With the tracks gone, the arc won't be able to find its way back home." Henry growled as he looked at his D-arc. I don't know what that's going to do. Takato placed his hand on the red little light.

"Arc, can you hear me?" Ok...so apparently I'm not the only insane one here.

"Wow, compared to Takato, you seem perfectly normal..." Ruki told me as we stared at Takato and began to wonder if he had sniffed a couple of those Digital mushrooms behind our back.

"I know you can hear me. Please you gotta help us, you're our only chance of getting out of here. Just a little further and we'll be home." Takato encouraged the arc. "Our parents are depending on you...please...help us!" Then all of a sudden two little tentacles came out of the light and hooked itself up to the Nintendo DS. "Thanks." Wow, did Takato just talk to a machine?

"I told you, it's a real good listener." Guilmon gloated. Just then, the arc started to move again...fast. Sort of like when my Grandma drives.

"Everyone hold on to something!" Henry told us as I got into the position I usually do when Grandma drives...that being the fetal position. Except it's much easier in here since I don't have a seatbelt.

"Guys the arc, it's starting to disappear!" Kenta yelled and I looked towards the back of the arc and sure enough, it was slowly getting deleted. Son of a bitch! Kazu started to freak out and placed both of his hands on the floor of the arc.

"Dude! Arc, if you get us through this, I'll wash you every day of the week! I'll vacuum and wax you...you name it!" Kazu yelled, his voice going a pitch higher than a male voice should. Just then it stopped shaking and I looked out the window to see the park. Oh my god we're home.

"SWEET REALITY WHERE STUFF MAKES SENSE, I'VE MISSED YOU SO!" Ruki yelled, crying happily. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can't believe we're not dead...let's get out of this thing before it suddenly combusts." I said. Takato looked at me and smiled.

"Ah, always the optimist. But I agree with you, I wanna see my parents again." He said as he slipped out of the door. I rolled my eyes and followed him, helping the zombie Jeri along. She hasn't eaten me yet, so I figure I might be getting through to her. Either that or she hadn't gotten the taste of human flesh in her mouth yet. I looked up as I got out and saw that there was a lot of adults standing and staring at us...and I could see mom and grandma among them.

I ran up to where my grandmother and mother was, and I was soon smothered in my mother's embrace...and for once I didn't care. Grandma pulled out a jacket and a cup of hot chocolate and placed the jacket on my shoulders as she handed me the cup.

"Welcome home Rika." She told me as my mother smiled at me.

"I missed you Rika." She told me softly. I smiled and looked down.

"Thanks. I missed you both too." I replied back, my voice equally as soft. Just then I noticed Henry walking up to Yamaki and Riley and start to talk to them. I walked over to where Henry was.

"What's going on?" I asked him. Henry looked at me and frowned slightly.

"Jeri's parents aren't coming, I'm going to take her home." I frowned and took of my jacket and placed it in his hands.

"For Jeri." I told him as he nodded. "Don't let her bite you...I don't think she got the taste of human flesh yet so..." I trailed off with a shrug. Henry sweatdropped

"Yea...I'll keep that in mind." He told me as I he started to walk over to Jeri and waved his hand. "I'll talk to you tomorrow." I waved my hand as I watched him go. I then walked over back to my grandma and mother.

"What was that all about?" My mother asked my confused. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Henry is taking Jeri home...her parents aren't here." I told her. My mother frowned.

"Poor thing." Just then the arc rumbled and started to be slowly deleted, getting yells of surprise from everyone. What do you know, it did suddenly combust. When it completely disappeared, there was a shocked silence before my mom whispered so only Grandma, Renamon, and I could hear.

"It suddenly combusted." She breathed in amazement. I looked up at her shocked.

"That's what I said!" My mother looked back down at me, equally shocked.

"I know right!" She told me, obviously shocked that we both agreed on something for a change. Grandma however groaned.

"Oh dear lord, the one thing Rika had to find in common with Rukimo..." She moaned. Mom grinned at me and rubbed my head.

"That's my girl! Don't worry about Grandma, she doesn't have the gift we do." She told me. I smiled as Grandma sighed, muttering it was more of a curse then a gift.

Ruki44: Well there you are. Your first chapter of this week.

Ruki: Wow...you jumped on the bandwagon of stealing Little Kuriboh's jokes.

Tetra: And here you had some orginality.

Ruki44: Well if I did, I wouldn't be writing fan fiction now would i be. I would be actually writing a book.

Hinata: You could use some of those fan fictions you wrote and change them around a bit and change the characters and that would be orginal.

Ruki44: Yea I know, I just haven't done that yet.

Rukia: Are you going to?

Ruki44: Probably not.

Tetra: My god you're lazy.

Ruki44: Yes I know. Anyways, review! And I'm sorry its so short! Expect the next chapter shrotly!
