Digimon Tamers: Hazards Sorrow
Episode 14: Family Ties
Shinjuku, Japan,(Late Morning)
It was a crisp and cool morning in Japan as fall was slowly transitioning into winter and all anyone wanted to do was sit in bed and wrap themselves in a warm blanket. Rika Nonaka felt sunlight coming through the window and opened her eyes. Slowly as she awakened she realized she was not in her room or her own house as the bed she was in was a lot bigger and a lot more comfortable. She sat up and felt dried tears on her face as she looked around the rather plain room.
There was a standard dresser and nightstand which held on it her digivice and her cards as well as her phone. Suddenly it came flooding back to her as she had remembered the previous night where she came running to Takato's apartment after finding out her cousin Riley was part of HYPNOS the very company trying to destroy all Digimon. She had spent the whole night upset but must have fallen asleep eventually but could not recall when she did so. Suddenly she heard a voice within in the room, "Sleep well Rika?" Rika turned to see her partner Renamon standing near the window slightly smiling at her. Rika nodded, "As well as I could after last night." Renamon nodded, "Are you ok?"
Rika shook her head, "I'm angry Renamon, my cousin lied to me and spied on me and my friends. I've never felt more betrayed in my life." Renamon nodded again, "You have the right to feel the way you do but for now I do suggest you get up instead of spending the whole day in bed." Rika nodded and pulled the covers off of her seeing she wasn't in her clothes from yesterday anymore, "Renamon who put me to bed?" Renamon chuckled slightly from the question, "I took the liberty of going back to your house and grabbing some things for you, Takato was a gentleman and helped where he could without crossing the line."
Rika stood up and went over to some clothes Renamon had laid out, "Is he here right now?" Renamon nodded, "Of course this is his home after all." Rika nodded, "Right I suppose I should change and then say hello." Renamon bowed to her, "I'll let you handle that and call me if you need me." With that she teleported out leaving Rika alone with her thoughts.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It had been an interesting 15 hours for Takato Matsuki, at the beginning of the night he dealt with an ultimate level digimon and came to a somewhat understanding with Henry his former best friend. Then when that was finished and when he was looking forward to just going to bed he found Rika at his door crying her eyes out. Rika had found out about her cousin's day job and understandably hadn't taken it well. The poor girl cried herself to sleep and all Takato could do was try to comfort her, something he wasn't good at.
He didn't like seeing a girl cry and wished he could do something about the whole situation but he knew it was something Rika and her cousin had to work out. He had been struggling in general trying to figure out how to tell her about it after he found out himself after her cousin had freed him. He had called Ryo , and Ryo tried giving him advice but well Ryo is a flirt and a playboy so any advice from him about girls wasn't what he was looking for. He couldn't ask Guilmon and he certainly didn't dare ask Alphamon because then the other royal knights would tease him about having a "girlfriend" and Takato really didn't need to deal with that right now.
He sipped some coffee thinking to himself before he noticed her wander into the room in a daze. She had gotten dressed but hadn't taken the time to tie her hair back into its usual style opting to keep it down. She turned and looked at him with her purple eyes looking like they were ready to cry again. He smiled at her, "Good morning, you know it's not often I have a girl spend the night." She smiled slightly at his attempt at a joke, "You know that room you put me in was awfully plain."
Takato got up and shrugged, "Well I don't get many guests so I don't see reason to decorate the guest room." He went over to the kitchen and took out a coffee mug, "Do you want any coffee?" Rika nodded and turned to face him, "Did you know?" Takato poured the coffee and handed it to her, "Did I know what?" Rika narrowed her eyes at him, "That my cousin worked for HYPNOS." Takato sighed, "I won't lie to you, I only found out when I was captured because she was the one who freed me and I've been trying to figure out how to tell you." Rika nodded, "And there's nothing else right? No information, no idea how long she's been there, nothing." Takato nodded, "Yeah I swear I know nothing else about her or what she does there."
Rika felt a bit hurt by his knowledge of this but couldn't bring herself to be angry at him, he wanted to tell her but she knew it was difficult for him to communicate sometimes as he didn't like hurting people. She took a sip of coffee and frowned at him, "I'll forgive you for not telling me at first but if you ever find something out pertaining to my family again and don't tell me about it then no girls will ever be staying at you place again." Takato felt a drop of sweat and nodded, "Right don't worry I won't sit on info like this again." Rika smiled at him, "Good"
The two stood there for a moment quietly drinking their coffee before Takato spoke, "So what's the plan?" Rika sighed at his question, "I don't even know at this point, can't you just let me stay here for a little bit so I can crawl into a hole and die." Takato rolled his eyes at the comment, "I have to go run some errands but if you want to stay here then feel free just don't be shocked if Ryo comes over and bothers you." Rika nodded, "I promise I won't kill him in your home." Takato laughed slightly, "If you do just please no blood on the carpets." Rika jokingly saluted at him before going to sit on the couch unsure of where she would go from there.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile across town Riley sat in a cafe sending a text to someone before Tally arrived sitting down across from her. Tally looked at her friend/coworker, "So what's the emergency?" Riley frowned at her, "Well you know that conversation that we were having on the phone yesterday? Well Rika heard everything and now she knows." Tally's eyes widened as she nodded, "So how pissed was she?" Riley sighed "Well I wouldn't know seeing as she ran out and won't return any texts or calls."
Tally watched Riley look down at her phone, hope in her eyes that Rika would respond to her. Tally frowned at her, "Listen you can't worry about it right now, the biggest question is have you told Yamaki?" Riley scoffed at the question, "Yes I told him that my cousin that I was supposed to be spying on for him found out and probably ran to tell Takato Matsuki." Tally nodded, "Ok so clearly there's time to fix this, as long as Yamaki doesn't find out or Matsuki doesn't pull any stunts we can fix this and you can work things out with your cousin." Riley glared at Tally, "You say that like it's the easiest thing in the world to do." Tally shrugged, "Maybe with some positivity it could be, besides I'm not the smart one I'm just giving suggestions."
Riley rested her head on the table, stressed over everything going on, "I really didn't need this right now, Yamaki has been on my ass since you leaked that information and now I have to deal with a runaway cousin." Tally thought for a second before putting a hand on Riley's hand, "Listen you just worry about talking to your cousin, I'll keep Yamaki distracted." Riley raised her head and raised an eyebrow, "And how do you plan to do that?" Tally laughed and waved her off, "Oh please all I have to do is tell Yamaki I found a lead on some Digimon and he'll be distracted for about a day."
Riley nodded and smiled at her, "You know what that could work, thanks Tally I'll keep trying to reach her." She got up and ran out of the cafe ready to try and find Rika leaving Tally sitting at the table. Tally frowned as she looked at her phone, "Great I just volunteered to do extra work." She sighed and got up to head to work hoping whatever ridiculous plan she cooked up would work.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Takato Matsuki really hated what he was about to do but he wanted answers and right now there was one person who could give them to him. He walked into a bar that he had been to only a few times in the past, the bar was owned by Jeri's father and if he knew correctly it was where Jeri usually worked and Henry hung out at. He wanted to know if the other 3 knew about Rika's cousin.
He wasn't really even sure what he'd do if they did but he was just thinking maybe talking to someone who knew Rika better than him would help. Takato walked in to find Jeri and sadly Alice sitting at a table talking amongst themselves. Breathing in and out, Takato grabbed an empty chair and brought it over to their table and sat down grinning at them, "Hello ladies lovely day isn't it?"
Both looked at him with shock, seeing as how he was brave enough to simply walk up to them when he knew they were supposed to capture him for HYPNOS. Alice glared at him, "Takato I didn't think you'd be this stupid." Takato smiled at her and winked, "Ah well you know us goggle heads we're usually all courage no brains." Jeri took a different approach and smiled at him, "Takato what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you here today?" Alice spoke before Takato could respond, "Doesn't really matter Jeri he's dangerous and we shouldn't be talking to him."
Jeri frowned, "Now Alice clearly Takato wouldn't be approaching us without a good reason so let's hear him out?" Takato smiled, "Well thank you Jeri, you're right I am here for a reason." Alice raised an eyebrow. "Oh and what stupid reason would that be." For the first time ever Takato gave them a cold look, one that he only used to intimidate enemies while still keeping the smile on his face, "So who wants to tell me if they knew about Rika's cousin working for HYPNOS?" Alice though intimidated decided to play dumb, "Riley works for HYPNOS, I had no idea."
Takato nodded, "Right Alice, well I just had to deal with a crying Rika all night when we all know I don't have the emotional capacity to help her, so let's cut the bullshit and just tell me ok?" Jeri not wanting to deal with a pissed off Takato and still considering Rika a friend broke the silence, "We only found out after we joined up with HYPNOS and you were captured." Takato nodded, "Mhmm and none of you wanted to be a good friend and maybe tell Rika about this?" Alice scoffed at his comment, "Rika decided to join your side so she's no friend to us." Takato rolled his eyes at the comment, "There are no sides Alice, we all want to protect the city from Digimon, you're the only one making this difficult."
Alice glared at him, "And you're the one who's a ticking time bomb and a danger to everyone around you, let's be honest here Matsuki you're a sociopath and the fact that Rika and Ryo fell for your manipulations make them no friends of mine." Takato frowned from her comment, "I didn't manipulate them, we're friends you know the thing I thought you and Rika were." Before Alice could comment further Jeri intervened, "Alright enough you two, look Takato you want to help Rika and Alice I know you still care about Rika so let's just work together here." Takato sighed "Look we don't even have to work together I was just looking for advice at this point since you answered my other question."
Alice glared at him, "You want advice then just leave her alone, I doubt you can say anything that'll help her." Jeri frowned at the two of them, "Takato I would just recommend getting her to talk to you and see how she's feeling and then do whatever your heart tells you." Takato raised an eyebrow, "You want me to wing it? Sure why not what could possibly go wrong." Alice laughed at his statement, "A lot probably." Takato narrowed his eyes at her, "Rightttttt as fun as this has been and trust me Alice if I ever need someone to diagnose me with mental problems I'll give you a call, I should go check on Rika. Bye ladies!" As he walked away Jeri glared at Alice, "You could've been nicer, I know you still consider Rika your best friend." Alice frowned, "Yeah well him wanting to help Rika doesn't convince me that he's a good guy or anything so he's on his own." Jeri shook her head and simply stayed silent, she knew it wasn't the time to discuss Alice's problems with Takato so she would let it go for another day.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Rika had been sitting on the couch all day watching TV and raiding Takato's refrigerator which had a lot of snacks for just one person. She was still upset and couldn't bring herself to cry anymore as she was out of tears and was tired of being feeling pathetic. All that was left was rage at Riley for lying to her and spying on her for that bastard Yamaki. The entire time Takato was being held by him and Riley knew about it and didn't say anything, she was simply content letting Rika be depressed over it. As she continued to get lost in her thoughts a voice called out to her, "Rika are you ok?" Rika turned to see Renamon standing beside her with a look of concern on her face. Rika shook her head, "I'm angry Renamon, Riley practically betrayed me and she's my own flesh and blood."
Renamon nodded, "I understand that but have you thought about getting her side of the story?" Rika thought for a second and then shook her head, "No, I haven't, I haven't had the courage to answer her calls." Renamon put a paw on her shoulder, "Perhaps you should consider reaching out and you could fix this conflict." Rika groaned, "Fine but whatever reasoning she gives me will be bullshit anyway." Renamon rolled her eyes at her partner, "Just try, talking never hurt anyone." With that she disappeared leaving Rika alone to give her some privacy.
Rika took out her phone and hesitantly dialed the number letting it ring a few times as she hoped Riley wouldn't answer. Sadly after a couple of rings she answered, "Hello, Rika? Where are you?" Rika's tone was icy in her response, "Doesn't matter Riley, what I want to know what's going on with you." Riley was silent for a moment before responding, "You probably figured it out already but I work for HYPNOS, specifically I'm one of their chief operators." Rika narrowed her eyes at hearing just how high up Riley actually was, "And you never bothered to tell me this because?" Riley responded, "Because at first it was top secret and I wasn't allowed to tell you, after you became a tamer I was told to watch you and your friends." Rika snapped at this statement, "You were ordered to spy on us Riley at least be honest about it!" Riley sighed over the phone, "Fine I was told to spy on you ok, but I never gave them anything on you and I only did it because I knew it would keep you safe."
Rika gripped her phone getting angrier, "What did you need to keep me safe from?" Riley didn't respond for a minute choosing her response carefully, "From people who would want to hurt you and take your partner away" Rika grit her teeth at the response, "I don't need your protection Riley, I can take care of myself." Riley had enough of Rika not listening to her and got angry back at her, "Rika would you stop being stubborn and listen to me, I was protecting you, you're family I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." Rika couldn't listen to her more and her tone became almost a whisper, "Well I certainly don't feel protected and I definitely don't feel like family." Before Riley could respond she hung up and threw her phone to the other side of the couch. Rika wanted to scream and yell and generally just punch something but all she could do was shake in anger. Her own family had betrayed her and she wouldn't let that happen again no matter what.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
On the other side of town Riley let the phone drop from her hand as Rika hung up on her. She could have handled that better and maybe if she did then Rika wouldn't have been upset. She knew she should have tried to talk to Rika about her job and she should have never agreed to spy for Yamaki, no job was worth losing family over. She yelled out as she went down an alley, "I hate Digimon!" As she walked a pair of eyes watched her and began to follow her. As she walked down the alley she heard a voice from the shadows, "You know about Digimon?"
Riley stopped and looked for the being the voice the being belonged to, "Maybe I do why?" The voice snickered at her, "Because I'm looking for strong Digimon, do you know any?" Riley thought for a moment seeing no harm in answering the soothing voice, "Well my cousins partner is pretty strong." The voice laughed, "Excellent then all we'll need is some bait to draw your cousin out then." Riley had no idea what was happening as a red cloth came from the shadows as she felt herself falling unconscious.

Shinjuku, Japan(Night)
After a few hours and attempting to talk to a few more people Takato finally returned to his apartment still confused on how to help Rika. As he entered the apartment he found her lying down face first in a pillow on the couch. He looked at her, "Uh are you ok." Rika sat up and stared at him with tearshot eyes, "No not really, my lifes a mess and my cousin betrayed me." Takato frowned at her, "Look Rika I know it sucks but it'll be ok." Rika groaned, "Really because as far as I see it, my mother doesn't want to be near me, my cousin betrayed me and my best friend hates me." Takato sighed "Your mother loves you, we all know that, Riley I'm sure had good reasons for lying and Alice doesn't hate you."
Rika continued to frown, "She claims she was protecting me, at this point I have no one left." Takato sat down next to her, "I wouldn't say no one, you have Renamon and Ryo and Monodramon and Guilmon." Rika looked at him, "And you." Takato laughed slightly, "Right and me, sorry still adjusting to having friends." Rika smiled slightly and shook her head, "Do you know how it feels to have someone you care about betray you Takato?" Takato thought for a moment and nodded, "I had someone who I considered one of my best friends betray me and I'm still angry over it. But trust me Riley didn't betray you."
Rika scoffed at him, "Really well what do you call lying on spying on me then?" Takato thought for a moment, "She wasn't lying to be hurtful Rika, she wanted to protect you and sure she did keep tabs on you but clearly she didn't give honest intel or else you would've been locked up like me." Rika stared at him, "But she clearly doesn't care about me, family wouldn't lie to you." Takato shook his head, "Sometimes family has to lie to protect each other, look your cousin isn't a bad person, after all she did rescue me from my cell." Rika nodded, "That's true but I don't know if I can forgive her." Takato smiled at her and put his hand on hers, "You don't have to, all I'm saying is you can't cut off family because of this. You'll work it out and work on rebuilding your relationship." Rika sighed "Is it really that easy?"
Takato shook his head, "No it's not as she's hurt you, but family ties are the strongest thing you could ever have and they can't be severed so easily." Rika thought for a moment and smiled, "You know for someone who claims they don't know how to be a friend you sure give a good pep talk." Takato smiled and rubbed the back of his head, "Ah well I'm just listening to my heart." Rika smiled and got up off the couch, "Well your heart is pretty smart." The two looked at each other for a moment and Rika felt her cheeks growing hot as she began to blush.
Thankfully the moment was interrupted when Renamon burst into the room, "Rika, there's a Digimon and it took Riley." Rika looked at Renamon in alarm, "What, How do you know?" Renamon crossed her arms, "Well I was investigating the presence of a Digimon when I saw it carrying her off somewhere." Takato got up off the couch, "Can you still sense it?" Renamon shook her head, "No but I can show you where it was." Takato nodded, "That's good enough Guilmon can track it from there." Rika nodded, "Right then what are we waiting for let's go save Riley." The two ran out the door in a race against time to hopefully save Riley before anything bad could happen to her.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After an hour of searching the two had arrived at an abandoned soccer stadium where they found no digimon in sight. Takato looked at his partner, "Uh Guilmon you sure this is the place?" Guilmon looked at him offended, "You know better than to question my tracking." As the two began to bicker like siblings, Rika looked around and pointed at something, "Look there she is." Takato looked over to see Riley passed out against a goal post. Rika began to take a step forward before they heard a cry, "ASSAULT OF ARROWS"
Reacting quickly Takato pulled her out of the way before rapiers like arrows came down on them. Takato looked at his partner, "Alright I apologize for doubting you." Guilmon said nothing but stared down the Digimon that just appeared. Rika raised an eyebrow at it, "Uh it's a flamenco dancer?" Takato took out his digivice, "That's Matadormon, an ultimate virus type who uses dancing to distract his opponents and is a vampire." Rika looked at Matadormon in shock, "Wait there are other vampire digimon besides Myotismon?" Takato shrugged, "Apparently"
Matadormon laughed at them, "Here I was trying to draw out a strong Digimon to feed on but thanks to this girl I got two." Rika narrowed her eyes at Matadormon, "So you kidnapped my cousin to lure us out? Well sorry but you won't be feeding on our partners." Matadormon smirked at Rika, "Sorry girl but you won't get a say in the matter, who knows after I defeat your partner I'll take you for myself." Rika grit her teeth and turned to Takato, "Takato we need to rescue Riley first, Renamon and I will take him on and you get her out of here."
Takato looked at her like she had three heads, "You sure you want to do that?" Rika nodded and took out her Digivice, "Yeah this asshole made it personal." Takato not wishing to argue with an angry Rika simply nodded as Rika took out a card. Wasting no time she swiped it immediately, "Digimodify: Digivolution activate" Renamon glowed blue before becoming encased in an egg, "RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TO" The egg soon burst open revealing Renamon's champion form, "KYUBIMON" Upon seeing the newly digivolved champion Matadormon danced in excitement, "Hehehehe you being able to digivolve just made this even better." Rika narrowed her eyes, "Kyubimon walk all over him."
Kyubimon lept at Matadormon while Takato and Guilmon watched on as Guilmon turned to his partner, "So we aren't going to help her?" Takato shook his head, "The angry lady said rescue her cousin so that's what we're doing." Guilmon watched as Kyubimon practically hissed at her opponent and yelled out "FOX TAILED INFERNO" Seeing Matadormon jump out of the way now distracted caused Guilmon to nod, "Well who am I to go against an angry lady." Takato smirked as the two ran over to the goal post, "Smartest thing you've said all week boy." The two managed to find Riley who was lying against the goal post. Takato checked her pulse, "Well she's alive and mostly unharmed so let's get her out of here."
Guilmon picked her up and the two began to run towards the exit. As they neared it Takato called to Rika, "We'll get her somewhere safe and be right back." Rika nodded before taking out another card, "Time to finish this Kyubimon, Digimodify, Power Activate!" Kyubimon glowed as she got her final attack ready, "DRAGON WHEEL" The attack hit Matadormon head on who fell backwards but despite that still had no scratches on him. He began to laugh, "Is that all you can do? Well allow a real digimon show you how it's done."
He prepared his own attack, "ASSAULT OF ARROWS" The arrows once again came down, this time on Kyubimon hitting her and knocking her to the ground barely having strength to maintain her form. Rika looked on in horror as Matadormon approached her, "Now it's time for a feast!" Rika felt helpless as she watched the evil digimon approach her partner, "No I won't let you win, you hurt my cousin, you want to hurt my partner and you want to hurt everyone so I won't let you win!" Suddenly a card Rika was holding glowed blue before reforming into a new card. She recognized the card as the one she had once swiped before to gain her Digivice. Deciding she had nothing better to do she swiped the card, "Digimodify: Matrix Digivolution activate!"
As Matadormon approached he was blinded by the light as Kyubimon glowed, "Kyubimon Matrix Digivolve to" Soon the light show died down as a new digimon appeared, "TAOMON" Rika couldn't help but smile as she looked at her Digivice, "Taomon an ultimate level data type, special attack is talisman of light." Rika smiled at her partners new form, "Alright Taomon we got this now." Taomon looked at the angry Matadormon, "This is the end for you and your wicked ways." Matadormon however wouldn't go down without a fight, "Oh yeah well take this Earth-Shattering Stomp"
Looking at the incoming kick Taomon performed some hand movements, "Talisman Spell" A shield appeared in front of her blocking the attack, "Now allow me to return the favor, THOUSAND SPELLS" The talismans Taomon used launched themselves towards Matadormon, exploding around him and causing him to fall to the ground weakened. Taomon took out her brush and began painting something in the air, "Talisman of Light!" The spell she created launched itself at Matadormon and hit him creating a large explosion causing him to be deleted, leaving behind nothing but data.
Rika smiled as Taomon returned to her, "Good job Taomon, now let's go check on Riley." Taomon nodded and followed Rika out of the stadium. The two exited the stadium to find Takato and Guilmon with Riley who was now awake and attempting to stand. Rika smiled at her cousin, "You shouldn't be trying to move." Riley looked at Rika, "Well I wasn't going to let you take on that Digimon on your own." Rika nodded and approached Riley and hugged her, "I know you wouldn't, because you just want to protect me." Riley pulled away from the hug and looked at her little cousin, "Rika listen I...:"
Rika however interrupted her, "Riley listen I won't ever forgive you, but we can start over, we're family after all nothing can break that." Riley nodded, "Yeah that sounds good to me." Rika put an arm around Riley's shoulder and began to help her walk a bit, "Just promise me no more spying." Riley smiled at her responde and nodded her head. Rika handed Riley to a now dedigivolved Renamon and began to walk towards Takato, "Take care of Riley for a second I want to talk to Takato." Rika approached him as Takato looked over at her and smiled, "I see everything is cleared up and Renamon even reached ultimate, congrats." Rika nodded, "Well everything it's 100% fixed but it's better now and that's thanks to you."
Takato waved her off, "I didn't do much, you just needed a pep talk." Rika sighed and shook her head, "Well anyway I better get Riley home, see ya later goggle head." She looked over to see Riley and Renamon not watching and quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek before running to join her partner and cousin. As he watched them leave he felt his cheeks begin to burn as he heard a voice behind him, "Are you blushing?" He turned to see Ryo arriving with Monodramon, "Oh hey Ryo you're a little late for the action." Ryo shrugged, "Ah well looks like you took care of it." Takato nodded as Ryo continued to look at him, "So why were you blushing?" Takato sighed for a minute and frowned, "You can't tell anyone but I think I might like Rika." Ryo wanted to tease him about but judging from his tone it didn't sound like a good. Ryo simply stayed silent as the two friends stood there taking in the night breeze wondering what was going to happen next in their crazy lives.

The Digital World
Beelzemon, demon lord of gluttony sat on his usual thrown with two shadows in the room as well. One shadow spoke, clearly annoyed at him, "How haven't you eliminated them yet Beelzemon, how hard is it to eliminate 5 children and their pets?" Beelzemon grunted before commenting in an annoyed tone, "There's 6 actually." The one shadow stopped moving, "6, wait do you mean Matsuki joined them?"
Beelzemon nodded, "Yeah he joined and even had the balls to send me a threat." The one shadow stepped out of it revealing herself to be the digimon scene in one of Takato's drawings that Yamaki found, "Tell me you have a plan to deal with him?" Beelzemon smirked, "Not to worry Lilithmon I have a plan that'll blow up half of Shinjuku."
Lilithmon smiled, "Good I doubt he'll be able to deal with that, what do you think Lucemon." The other shadow now known as Lucemon stood silent before smirking, "Hmmm Takato Matsuki, I look forward to seeing meeting him soon." The other two looked at him as he placed a hand on his chin continuing to think, revealing a Digital Hazard on his hand. Neither were sure what he was thinking, but one thing was for certain, If Beelzemon didn't get rid of the tamers soon then Lucemon himself would be getting his hands dirty.
AN: Uh oh looks like something bad is gonna happen. Tune in next time where, a digimon that could level half the city appears and the tamers have no way of stopping it. Will someone make the ultimate sacrifice? Find out next time!
