Digimon Tamers My Way
Chapter 3: A new friend and The revelations of Impmon and Takato
Henry and Takato were walking through town when thye saw a group of punks were getting beat up by a girl in their class, Jeri Katou. While another kid Kenta Kitagawa was comforting a boy Takato knew was Kazu Shioda. It really surprised them both because it looked like Kazu was being bullied and for what? He was autistic and hypoglycimic. So what? He couldn't control that. Takato knew that herself. She was partially deaf and an insomniac. Henry was Dyslexic and had a condition where he had to wear a brace on part of his left arm from when he got hit by a car as a kid.
The bullying pissed off The two Tamers to no end. "Henry what do we do? I just can't stand bullies. I mean sure going to a private school where the security officers could put people in 'Camp Detention' or in Juvinille Detention Centers there wasn't much that I dealt with. But I seen it so many times." Takato said something Henry didn't know about his best friend. "Hey Takato what private school did you go to?" Henry asked. Since she brought the subject up he was very interested. "I went to Silver Guardians Academy. I was one of the elites. Elite Pink. Our school elites were chosen due to all having a particular trait shared. Being active and with their method still available."
Takato answered. It surprised Henry that she went to the best private academy out there. "How long did you attend and were you a boarder?" "From the time I was five until I was eight. I lived at school during the week and at home on the weekends and school holidays. My cousin Soul Evans was the same way." "How many cousins do you have anyhow?" "Well Henry, there are my cousins Soul, Wes, and Cole Evans on my mom's side. On my dad's side I have four cousins. Davis and Jun Motomiya, Ren Tobari, and Kai Urazoe." That stunned Henry. He was real surprised at what Takato admitted. As the duo walked down the road a digital field came in. The two were very thankful for the D-burst, a device that looked a pedometer that could hold the data of up to five partner digimon at once. "Guilmon Reload."
"Terriermon Reload."
The two rookie digimon were battle ready. Due to the fact Takato knew the Mighty One Max Sloan, Max would open portals to different training grounds so both their partners could reach and control champion. "Alright my brothers in arms what are we dealing with?" Henry scans the digimon. "Greymon Vaccine type Champion level. Attacks with his Mega Flame and Nova Blast. DarkLeomon Virus type Champion level Fist of the Dark king will leave you out of it long enough for him to delete and absorb an opponents data." "Lovely, now tell me how we can beat two champions?' "Not sure Takato, but we can figure it out." The two Tamers set up their D-Arcs,"DIGI-MODIFY(X2) Digivolution activate!" "Terriermon/Guilmon Digivolve to... Gargomon/Growlmon." "Gargo Laser!" "Pyro Blaster!" "Crap! They both missed." "Digi-modify Garurumon activate!" Henry knew Takato must be angry if she busted out a Garurumon card. "Howling Blaster!" The attack deleted both digimon. "Wait the digital field isn't lifting." "Hand Of Fate!" "Angemon! Champion level vaccine angel type digimon. His Hand of Fate and Angel Staff attack can knock out or even delete almost any virus digimon."
"Your days are over virus. You will no longer prey on the life force of these children." the Angemon said. Takato stepped in front of Guilmon and glared at the infuriating angel. "What the fuck is your problem? Guilmon may be a virus type, but he's my partner. Your so narrow minded." "Miss step out of the way. He is controling you." "Hell no angel boy. I really can't believe I'm even saying this. Guilmon...walk all over him!" "You sounds like me goggle head. Question is why?" Tamer 3 finally made her appearance. "Well Rika if you must know this Angemon bastard seems to think Guilmon is controling me. He's my partner you dumbass."
The goggle girl brought out her red and white D-Arc. "My digivice confirms it. Now back off." "If you won't step down then you leave me no choice. HAND OF FATE!" Angemon launched his attack right at Takato. She was doubled over clutching her stomach and bleeding heavily. Rika was horrified. Henry was pissed off. "Rika, I know we have different ideals and values...but I'm offering a temporary truce. We team up to take down this asshole of a celestial digimon."
Rika after almost losing Renamon to a Dokugumon not even two days ago said, "Make the truce permanent and hook me up with a job at HYPNOS then you've got a solid deal." "I'll talk to the boss." The two did their upmost best to defeat Angemon, but were unable to. Takato tapped into her healing powers and closed up her injury. However she could barely stand. Impmon saw what just happened. He didn't want his only friend to die. He ran and took the full brunt of the hit in Guilmon's place. Takato was horror struck as it was deja vu all over again. "I only wanted to protect ya Kitten."
(Flash back)
"I only wanted to protect you Kitten. I love you." A ten year old Takato looked on in pure agony. "AMARA!"
(end Flash back)
The now twelve year old was whimpering rather loudly, "No...no please not him. No it can't happen, not again." Angemon spoke as he charged up his Hand of Fate attack one more time, "This time I can take out two virus types instead of one." Takato despreately wated to help the annoying little imp who had become her friend. Her crystal started glowing with light. "Goodbye you annoying virus." Angemon said. "NO IMPMON!" Takato yelled. A burst of light from her digivice and necklace forced Angemon back. "What in the name of the soveriegns is this?"
Calumon was there watching and wanting to help his prankster friend too. The white part of Takato's Digivice changed to purple and she felt a buried part of her wake up. Memories started pouring in from her past life filling her with more power than she thought possible. Impmon's emerald eyes snapped open as a feeling he never thought he could experiance and memories from his last incarnation in the eastern quadrant and his time in the kingdom of Scillicalia came rushing back. "Impmon digivolve to...Wizardmon!" "What just happened?!" Henry asked. "Impmon, he digivolved. But how, why?" RIka asked confused. "He's the ancient planetary spirits." Takato said relieved. "Takato?" Said goggle girl just stood rather regally and strode over to her partners. "Wizardmon I'm not too sure how, but my digivice recognizes both you and Guilmon as my digimon partners. I will be your Tamer should you accept I will not just stay on the sidelines anymore."
"I can live with that My Lady." Smirking Takato replied, "My dear Wizardmon let us show this traitorous celestial that we are a force to be reconned with." "As you wish My Lady." The two were off like a pair of highly trained assasins. Angemon couldn't keep pace with them. "Thunder Ball!" "Venus Metor Shower!" The digimon and Senshi attack combined to delete said angel. Takato slumped onto the groud while Wizardmon de digivolved down to in-training like Guilmon did two seconds before. Henry carried Takato on his back while Rika carried Yaamon and Gigimon in her arms. The tamers came to HYPNOS and to say Yamaki was stunned was the understatement of the decade. "What happened and why is Rika Nonaka with you?"
"Cliff notes version is. Takato now has two partners, Rika wants a job here, and Takato needs medical attention ASAP." "Well that's gratifying. Thankfully we now have a doctor on staff. Takato's regular doctor Saeko Mizuno." "Hello Digimon Tamers, bring Takato into the new medical bay." The Tamers do so and are fairly worried. An hour or so later Takato stumbles out almost falling over."Okay, note to self. Never take another hit like that if able to avoid it." Takato slurs sounding very groggy. "Are you okay Takato?" " I'm fine, just need to sugar load Henry. I need my magical energy replenished." "Magical energy?" "Ask . Right now I gotta sit down." Yamaki sends Riley to the nearest convinence store for soda, juice, and candy. Henry and Rika walk into Dr. Mizuno's office and breach the question to her.
"Takato is a Sailor Senshi. You must understand she doesn't talk about this stuff for others safety. So she really trusts you both. She is the senshi and reborn princess of the Moon Kingdom." "So wait, she's Sailor Moon? She's gotta be a lot older than twelve then cause Sailor Moon looked like she was sixteen years old." "Takato was awakened at eight years old. The senshi magic made her look much older to keep her safe." "She was eight? Oh Zeus no. The princess lost her innocence so young?" "Younger. Age six." "Who are you?" "Tommy Oliver. I was in town on business and Takato texted me asking to explain to the others how she first saved the world." The four walked into the main conference hall. Takato was sitting on a chair in the front of the room. Tommy made sure everyone was sitting down both human and digimon. "Now that everyone is here we can start." Tommy hit play on a remote and a very familiar video showed up.
"I'm Tommy Oliver. If your not me or one of the Alumni then something is seriously wrong. What your about to see is a history of my life. My history as a power ranger. My story begins in Angel Grove, when five teenagers with attitude were chosen to fight the evil space sorceress, Rita Repulsa. They harnessed the power of the dinosaurs to become Eath's first Power Rangers. Under the guidence of Intergalactic being Zordon. Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini bravely defended Earth, which forced Rita to create her own Ranger. Using the sixth Power coin she turned me into her evil green Ranger. She commanded me to destroy the Powers Rangers. And I almost succeeded." Everyone was shocked but were also confused. What did this have to do with Takato? "But my friends never gave up. The helped me destroy the Sword of Darkness and I was freed. And that's when I joined the team. But I soon discovered, the Green Ranger Powers were only temporary. Zordon created a new Ranger and I came back as the White Ranger.
A new villian Lord Zedd was attacking Earth and with three Rangers leaving a new Power source had to be found. Jason, Zack, and Trini passed on their Powers to Rocky, Adam, and Aisha. And the three new rangers proved they they had what what it takes. And just in time. A new terror Rito appeared and the new team fought courageously, but it wasn't enough Rito destroyed our Zords. At the same time a Centuries old villian Ivan Ooze escaped and wrecked the command center. Which is when we recieved two surprising visitors from a not too far off future. Two kids who were Power Rangers, Soul Evans and Takato Matsuki. They came from a not too far off future by the keeper of time Sailor Pluto to retrieve the Great Power. The two young rangers joined us on our quest.
We sought out Dulcea Master of the ancient Ninjetti. Each bearing an animal ninja spirit. Rocky held the red ape, Aisha held the yellow bear, Billy the blue wolf, Kimberly the Pink crane, Adam the black frog, Takato was also a pink ninjetti the pink pheonix, Soul the gold dragon, and myself the white falcon. The young rangers helped us defeat Ooze and revive our Mentor Zordon of Eltar before they were on their way. Along with our new powers came new zords and weapons. Along with new enemies but with new enemies came new friends. When Kimberly chose to leave, Katherine was the only choice.
With Master Vile Rita's father turning back time we sought help from the Alien Rangers of Aquitar. Five noble warriors who went above and beyond the call of ranger duty. Aisha chose to remain in Africa while sending Tanya in her place as the Yellow Zeo Ranger. The Zeo Powers were awesome but when we needed reinforcments we turned to an old friend. Jason returned and assumed the Powers of the Gold Ranger. Together we defeated the Machine Empire.
When the wizard Lerrigot came to Earth seeking refuge from the Space pirate Divatox, we were expecting so many reasons. She wanted to use the wizard to open the dimensional gateway so she could join with the legendary lava demon Maligore in a sinister marriage. But to do she would need two pure souls. She gave him four. Kimberly, Jason, and our two young time travelers Soul and Takato. They were sacrificed to Maligore. Kim and Jason were completely purged of the Demon's Powers.
Unfortunately Takato and Soul were not. Each held a power inside them to keep it at bay. Soul was a Demon Weapon. Takato held the Digital Hazard. It was time for for the Rangers to shift into a higher gear. The old rangers were gone forever, but the Turbo Rangers were ready for action. With Rocky injured, we welcomed Justin as the Blue Ranger. Over time it was decided we would all pass on our powers. TJ, Carlos Cassie, and Ashley proved their worth and stepped up as the new Turbo Rangers. Divatox wasn't ready to give up. And launched terrifying assault TJ and the others fought bravely but Divatox destroyed the command center.
She headed for space and Earth's ultimate destrucion. The Rangers knew they had to follow Divtox into Space. Leaving behind the world they knew. Forever. The journey into space was treacherous. And the line between friend and foe was slim. Andros prooved he was more than a friend he was just the kind of leader the others would need to fight a new enemy. An enemy called Astronema. Andros brought them the Astro Morphers. And a new team stepped forward. Over time the Space ranger discovered the Dark Specter was draining Zordon of his power. As well as Astronema was Andros's long thought dead sister Karone. The Space rangers freed Zhane from his deep freeze. And the Silver Ranger was a noble addition to the team. The biggest battle Countdown to Destruction hit and all of the people Rangers and civillians fought as one. Andros with no other choice shattered Zordon's energy tube destroying many villians through out the universe.
On the distant planet of Mirinoi five young heroes. Leo, Kendrix, Damon, Maya, and Kai retrieved the Quasar Sabers to become the rangers of the Lost Galaxy. The Magna Defender a warrior from the past fought against the Rangers having lost his path. In the end it was Mike Leo's brother whom had reminded the brave warrior of why he fought after the Warrior sacrificed himself to save the Rangers. Magna Defender Passed to Mike his powers. In an unexpected twist, the pink Psycho Ranger used the Savage Sword to attempt to drain Cassie's powers. Kendrix in a final act gave her life to save Cassie. In an attempt to redeem herself for all she did as Astronema Karone tried to retrieve Kendrix's saber. In spirit form Kendrix passed onto Karone the pink Galaxy morpher and the powers of the pink Galaxy Ranger. Trakeena threatened to destroy the Space colony Terra Venture. She took on a horrorifying new form. Red ranger and his Battlizer were the colonies only hope. With Trakeena destroyed, the people of Terra Venture were forever greatful to the Power Rangers of the Lost Galaxy.
Meanwhile on Earth an elite team was being put together to fight an invasion of demons. Carter, Kelsey, Chad, Dana, and Joel fought against Diabollico and his Warriors. The lightspeed rangers needed one more to complete their mission. That's when Ryan joined the team. "
Tommy paused the video. "Any questions up to this point?" Everyone but Rika shook their head. "I have one. Why show us this?" "HYPNOS is part of the Silver Guardians. So it is required for all employees to know this."
"Rangers from the future. Chased a mutant criminal though time. Wes Evans Soul's older brother joined up with Jen, Katie, Lucas, and Trip. But it was a modern day hero who finished the job. It took a while for Eric to learn that the greatest virtue of being a Ranger is not the Power but the reward of helping mankind.

Cole joined and the Wild Force used spirits of the ancient guardians of Animaria to fight the evil Orgs. Creatures bent on conquring the world through pollution and destruction.

But also their biggest ally. It was another friend Cam who went back in time to find the one power that could save them all. The Power of the Green Samurai Ranger. In their final Battle against Lothor, the rangers made the ultimate sacrifice.
I was living in Reefside teaching at Silver Guardians Academy when three of my students Conner, Kira, and Eathan bonded to the Dino gems. And became the Dino Thunder Rangers. When they were in need of help I stepped up and was back in black. Mesegog was a ruthless villian taking first Trent Fernandez and turning him into the evil White Ranger. We just barely freed Trent when the biggest proof of Mesegog's evil shows up. As he took a six year old Takato and turns her into his evil Raptor Dino Ranger. We thought we wouldn't be able to free the poor girl from her spell. Her cousin Soul stepped as the new gold Ranger. With the help of a boy named Ewan Amano, Takato was freed from Mesegog's grasp. When it came time to defeat a mutated Mesegog all of us with the exception of Takato and Soul gave up our Ranger Powers.

With the Digital World reaching out to children it became nessecary to activate HYPNOS. Should all else fail, These three are the two worlds only hope." The next shot was of Henry, Takato, and Rika. Henry was shocked. "It's us." "Your in good hands."
"Oh my god." That came from Janyuu, Henry's father. "Takato... you were so young. A child. Why? Why did it have to happen to you?" At this point everyone including Rika and Henry were crying. Takato got up and spoke, " While I often wish it never happened like that. It's in the past. All I can do now is move forward to a brighter future." With that comment the meeting ended. Rika now worked with Takato and Henry. Walking home she sees her mom. "Hey mom?" "Yes Rika, what is it?" "I need to talk to you. About school." "Alright let me change into some comfortable clothes and we'll talk about school." After some minor convincing on her part Rika would now be attending school with her fellow Tamers.
( The following week)
Rika settled into public school just fine. She spent her time with Takato and Henry surprising many people. The three friends were walking to Takato's place when they came up on a sight that made their blood boil. Kazu Shioda being beaten by a group of punks. Takato in her anger walked over and decked one of the boys.
"What the fuck is your problem you lowlife jackasses?! Leave him alone you fucking punks." Rika stepped up to her and said, "What my friend said. You low lives give those who walk the streets to protect others a bad rep as gangsters or vigilanties. You assholes best leave before we get violent." Henry walked over to Kazu and started checking him over. He discovered Kazu didn't have any open wounds but two of his ribs were broken and he had several nasty bruises and a couple burns. Takato calls on her dino powers to heal him. "He'll need a physical after he wakes up. I have no clue where the boy lives and since we're close to my place we can take him there." The three tamers went upstairs and told Dr. Matsuki what happened.
Takato's extended family had all gone to an uncharted part of the digital world to reside. Impmon was sitting on Takato's bed thinking about an old and still very dear friend. "Gatomon." He sighed the name. "Who's Gatomon, Impmon?" The imp looked up to see his lady, her friends, and an unconcious boy that he did not know.
"I was originally born in an uncharted territory of the digital world outside the soveriegns reach. The first time I was at my ultimate level Reapmon. I joined the Warriors of the Light in Sillicalia. One day my comrades were cursed. In my efforts to defend myself, I killed all my comrades. For many digi-years I was a wanderer. Ending up in Azulongmon's sector. I ended up de-digivolving to my champion form Wizardmon. Over time I met Gatomon. She told me that she was looking for digimon to serve her master Myotismon. He was building an army to destroy the eighth digidestined child. Gatomon was unknowingly the partner of that child. When we discovered Kari Kamiya was the eighth child and Gatomon being her digimon. All she needed was her crest. The crest of light. Myotismon gathered up all the children when he found out Gatomon was the partner of the eighth used her to draw Kari out. He attempted to destroy them both but I sacrificed myself to save them. I was reborn as you see me now. Finally after much searching and wandering, I found you Takato."
Impmon finished his story as Takato covered Kazu with her blankets. "Well I appreciate you telling me all this Impmon." For roughly two hours Takato and her friends waited for Kazu to wake up. When he did they were playing poker for Goldfish crackers and skittles. "Oh okay. Sure then Rika. I'll see your six goldfish crackers and raise you four blue skittles." Takato challenged. Henry said, "Call 'em. Two pair." Rika said, "Straight in diamonds." Smirking Takato said, "Read 'em and weep you two. Royal flush." Kazu was stunned. What he said wasn't about what he just saw. "Um excuse me but where am I and why the heck do I have a migraine?"
"Well Kazu your at my house. Specifically in my room. Rika, Henry, and I walked up on some punks wailing on you. So after I beat the crap out of them. Rika and I told them off. While Henry checked you over for injuries. The headache is due to some pain meds my dad gave you. My dad is a doctor and has his office here at the house. So when you woke up he wanted to give you a full check up." Takato replied. "Oh, well alright." Kazu only slightly scared said. Takehiro after thirty minutes gave Kazu a recomendation to stay home from school tomorrow and to take two advil's before bed that night. The tamers walked with him home so they could explain to his parents what happened. His mother freaked when a "Gang banger" and a "Biker chick" were found at the door. But Kazu defused anything his mom would say. By telling her that Takato, Rika, and Henry helped him out like Kenta and Jeri usually did. Takato also told Mr. and Mrs. Shioda about her dad being a doctor and his diagnosis and recomendation for dealing with the problem.
(Two days later)
Kazu was back in school and needless to say Kenta and Jeri were worried sick. However during free period Ms. Asaji was about to remind the class about the school singing competition when Kazu got out of his desk and walked up to Takato, Rika, and Henry. "Kazu what are you doing?" His teacher asked. "Um Takato, Rika, Henry. I just want to say thanks for helping me the other day. Those punks hate that I have health issues and still seem to do better in school than they do. I just wanted to say what you three did really means a lot to me." Kazu says. Surprising everyone in class along with the principal and Ms. Asaji. Takato had this kind look on her face.
Standing up she walked around her desk and gently put a hand on Kazu's shoulder. "It's no problem Kazu. I'm partially deaf. As well as having insomnia." Henry smiled warmly as well. "I can't stand bullies. I was in a car accident as a kid and until I'm fifteen I have to wear a special brace on the upper part of my arm. Plus I'm dyslexic so I have problems with reading though I really enjoy it." Rika also had a kind look as she spoke up. "Their right. No one should be bullied because their a little different. I have ADHD and minor Asperger syndrome." Kazu was surprised all three of them had health problems too but made the best of their situations. "I have Asperger syndrome as well as hypoglycimia." Kazu had a hard time believing he just admitted that out loud.
Takato hugged Kazu close and spoke in a warm older sister sort of tone, "You don't have to be afraid Kazu. I promise to watch out for you like I would anyone else in our entire city. I'll always be your friend no matter what." Kazu and everyone else looked her in surprise. Jeri, Kenta, and Kazu had tears in their eyes as Kazu asked in a slightly shaky voice, "Do you really mean that?" Smiling Takato wiped away Kazu's tears and lovingly said, "Of course I mean it. Down to not only my heart but my very soul. I will always be your friend no matter what happens." In a even more shocking moment of affection Takato let Kazu cry into her shirt and rubbed his back soothingly. She also sang an old song she would sing for Soul when they were little.
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreamin' but
There's a voice inside my head sayin' you'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I makes feel
Lost with no direction
My faith is shakin'
But I, I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments
That I'm gonna remember most yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on
Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes your gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, It's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith
Whoa
Kazu hugged her tight crying even harder. Jeri spoke up, "Takato should totally represent our class in the school competition. She's fantastic!" All the other kids agreed. Once Kazu stopped crying he asked, "Takato where did you hear that song? It's one I never heard before." Blushing Takato admited to something only Henry knew. "I wrote it. Songwriting's been my escape from stress. I've done it since my days in Silver Guardians Academy." Her admission shocks even the principal. Ms. Asaji spoke up, "Well I hope you would perform some of your music for the class sometime." Smiling Takato said, "Sure thing. I don't perform like I used to so I'd love a chance to."
The day ended with Takato showing the class how much different she was from her percieved reputation. As well Takato making three new friends in Kazu Shioda, Jeri Katou, and Kenta Kitagawa.
