Destinies Recovered

Ruki shivered. She hated to see that guy. Ruki thought he liked her. Well I love Takato! She looked at Prince Saffron. His eyes were focused on hers. Uh oh…

Prince Saffron did his Hypnotizing. Again. Ruki started to walk up, and go towards him. Yes, in my clutches… She went up to him. He snapped his fingers, and her outfit was turned into a dress. He held his hand on her cheek, and slowly leaned forward.

I gotta do something. Takato… "Takato…help…"

"Huh?" he backed away. No way! She couldn't have broken the trance!

"None of your tricks, now. I love Takato, and there's no way you can be able to make me love you. Sorry."

He lowered his head. "I understand. I thought I could find love by being bad, because girls really like that in boys, so that's what I'm doing."

"You're taking it the wrong way. What they mean by bad is up to the challenge to do almost anything. Takato's not 'bad', but I still love him. It's the things inside you that count. Takato's sweet and loving and sometimes looks are what I go for boys. Yeah, sure you have a few problems, but that's what friends are for! They help you solve your problems."

"But I don't and can't have any friends. I work for Queen Beryl, and you just destroyed my girlfriend, so I'm trying to find a new one. All of us wanted to be like humans, but we never succeeded in it. We'll stay as aliens to everyone forever, because we work for the Dark Moon…Ever since, I dreamed of being a human and being free. It never happened. My 'parents' never existed, I had no friends and siblings, and now my girlfriend is gone…You were all I could've imagined to take Zoisite's place, but you're taken, so now I can never love again…"

"Don't worry. It takes a few tries to find a girlfriend. I quote Saku-Chan 'There's no such thing as true love' unquote, and you'll never find perfect love, but just a perfect girlfriend, maybe. Maybe her theory is wrong, but fate will have to decide that."

"Now, enough of this!" hissed someone. It was Queen Beryl. "Our quest was to destroy the Real and Digital World, not become these worthless human beings. Now destroy them, and find the last crystal, NOW!"

"No!"

"Then I'll do it myself." She got a big ball of energy, and threw it at Ruki. Everyone didn't know what to do.

Tuxedo Mask went in front to protect her, closing his eyes and accepting his upcoming death just for Ruki.

But Prince Saffron went in front of both of them. He screamed in mercy as the energy ball stabbed his chest. Bleeding badly, he fell to the floor, but Ruki held him. "Thank you, Ruki. You'll make a good queen someday, and Takato will be a good husband to you and a king, if you survive."

"Queen? King? Husband? And thank me for what?"

"You made me realize that friends are important. I thought they were nothing but bull, but you have made me open my heart for the last few minutes I will be alive for. You were a good friend, and I especially thank you for that."

Tears filled her eyes. "I'm…s-sorry for turning your life upside down."

He led her cheek. "Daijoubu, Ruki." He started to dissolve.

"No, it was my fault for being like this. I never should've done that in the first place. If I didn't kill your girlfriend, you would be happy without seeking revenge."

"I'll miss you, Ruki…" he said weakly, as he disappeared.

Ruki cried softly to herself. Takato hugged her. "Daijoubu." Tears were in his eyes. Everyone had tears about to flow down their cheeks like a tsunami, except Queen Beryl.

"How amusing. Where's that little brown haired five year old?" The queen snapped.

"At school, Kusottare baba," Ruki shot back.

"You dare call me a shitty old goat? You will pay for this." Then she disappeared.

Mina was running around Tokyo, yelling out, "Ruki-san!! Takato-san!"

Ruki turned around. She quickly wiped her tears. "Mina! What are you doing here? School isn't over yet!"

"Yes it is!" She pointed to the clock tower. "See? School starts at 10:00 am, and ends at 2:00 pm. It's 2:05 right now."

She slapped her head. "How could I have forgotten?" She turned to her friends. "Guys, this is Mina. M-My cousin."

Suddenly, Mina fell in a hole. "Hel~~~~~~~~p!"

Ruki jumped in the hole. Why am I acting like she's my daughter? She looks extremely familiar, but I'm not sure why…

Everyone else jumped in the hole. They all landed flat onto a beautiful…(er…did I say that?), but crystallized place. Ruki tried to get out of under everyone, and looked around. This place is so familiar…

Lee got off of Juri, and stepped down. "Ahh, it's good to be back here again…er…I mean, This place looks so~~~ familiar…" he spat out, trying to not let Ruki and Takato refresh their memory.

"Yeah, you're right Lee." Ruki looked around. "MINA~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

"Ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku-te-ku…" a voice came about. Everyone looked around, but didn't realize this 'voice' came from a small creature. "Kuru? Ke-Cha!" he yelled as it jumped in front of Ruki Kamiya.

She looked down. She smiled. "KAWAII~~~~~~~!" she yelled out in Japanese as she picked it up.

It jumped back. "Kururu!" It then ran over to Lee, and jumped in his arms.

"Hey, little fella." Lee giggled.

It quietly whispered, "Do they remember, Lee-Kun?"

"No," he whispered back. "By the way, the air around here smells much more fresh than 3 years ago."

"You inhaled too much smoke from IceDevimon's scent. That's why. Man, them forgetting is a ba~~~~d thing…"

"I know. They forgot all of what happened. All of it. Do you know this girl named Mina? She looks-"

"Oh, I do know her, but I thought she was with you…don't tell me you guys lost my Tamer."

"T-Tamer?"

"Yup, yup!"

Lee turned to the others. "Guys, we gotta find Mina."

"Right," Duo and Cameron said.

They wandered around. All of a sudden, a guy appeared. He looked exactly like Takato, only in blue uniform. He stepped up to Ruki. "Ruki…"

"You look like Takato-" Ruki was cut off.

"I AM Takato. I'm his older state. Follow me. There are many things I need to tell you."

They followed him to a big castle. When they walked in, they saw many beautiful things, but they were all crystallized. They entered a room where it had a big crystal up near the ceiling, just floating. The room was empty, until they came in.

"Listen very carefully. Ruki, you and Takato are the Queen and King of the Digital Moon." The crystal glowed, and turned the whole place into a screen of the past. "3 years ago, you, Takato, and Lee were Digidestined with the others that moved to Kyoto. Later, IceDevimon took over the Digital Moon, and Ruki was accidentally transported there. Takato and the others saved her from IceDevimon. But while you were still in the real world, IceDevimon rose again, and took over the Digital Moon." He turned to a crystal clear coffin. "Then while my wife, Ruki, and her daughter, were running from IceDevimon, I was trying to destroy his army. I was a little too late, as Ruki was already dead, and my daughter disappeared. And now today, I have found her." He snapped his fingers, and under the crystal, a little circle opened from the ground, and Mina came up, fast asleep. "I ask of you and Takato to take care of our future daughter."

Ruki was shocked. She looked at Mina, and picked her up. "My daughter? And Takato-Sama is my…Husband?" She screamed. "Hirokazu-Kun WAS right! I DID lose my virginity with Takato-sama!"

"No need to panic, Ruki. Come here." He pointed to the coffin.

She looked at it, and the person in it. "Is that…?"

"Yes, it's your future you. If you're gonna stay alive, you're gonna have to defeat IceDevimon."

"Then I shall try my best, Prince Takato."

Kurumon was still in Lee's hands. He walked over to Mina.The red triangle on his forehead glowed, and Mina woke up. "Huh?" She looked around, and saw the coffin. "MOM!" She ran to it. Tears went flowing down her cheeks as she looked at it.

Kurumon was next to it. "Daijoubu, kuru…" [Translation: "It's alright, kuru…" (you know how he says that in the Japanese eps.)] His ears shrunk.

"No, Kurumon. It was my fault."

"But no, it-"

"Atashi wa yuu atashi no fault! There's no way I can fix it…" [Translation: "I said, 'It's MY fault!' There's no way I can fix it…]

"Mina?" Ruki asked.

"Hmm?" Mina still had tears in her eyes.

"I'm your mom. And Takato's your dad, only we're younger."

Mina's eyes brightened up. She ran to her, giving her a hug.

"You look like me and your dad: My color eyes, and dad's light brown, shiny hair."

Mina smiled.

Ruki turned to Prince Takato. "What happened to make IceDevimon come back for revenge?"

"I don't know, but I think the Dark Moon did this. But before I tell you the story, watch this." Another snap came from his fingers, and an image came from where Mina was just a few minutes ago. "I came from earth, but Ruki came from the moon. We met in a war. She was there, watching her father lead his army, while I was watching my dad. She was going to get hit by one of my dad's soldiers, when I jumped in front of her, and dodged the attack. Since then, love blossomed between both of us. One night, she took me to the moon around midnight, where everyone was asleep. Little did I know, her guardians were watching."

"Who were the guardians?"

"Ruki Kamiya, Neo Lady Sakura, Lee, and their boyfriends and girlfriend."

"Who were the boyfriends and the girlfriend?"

"Lee's girlfriend was Juri, and yes, I'm surprised she is now, and Ruki Kamiya's, and Neo Lady Sakura's…I'll let that become a dream in your minds. You'll find out. All of you will. Let me go on. Lee was Ruki's cousin, so he was the most protective of her. He was going to stab me with his sword, but Juri stopped him, and let us go on. On our marriage, Lee gave in, liked me as a brother-in-law, and protected Ruki, anyway.

A month later, Lee soon married Juri, and Ruki Kamiya and Neo Lady Sakura were married as well to their boyfriend."

"Hey! When are ya gonna tell us?!?!?" Ruki Kamiya and Neo Lady Sakura screamed.

"I'll give all of you a dream of it. Don't worry…Now, back to the story. Later, we had Mina. The rest of you couples had children, too, but I don't know who they were. I forgot. 5 years later, I assume the Dark Moon took over Earth, while I was at the Moon with Ruki, and IceDevimon struck revenge on us. It killed my wife, but my daughter was teleported to your time. I survived, and so did Ruki's guardians, but when Ruki was dead, her guardians gave all their energy to her, and kept her here. She is till dead, but this crystal coffin is protected by their energy. See the crystal above us? Her guardians are in there. You can sort of see everyone in there, but not quite. Now that IceDevimon is resting, his minions are keeping watch over both the Digital World, and Real World. The Digital World isn't taken over yet, but once the Real World is in their grasp, everything will turn out like here, and so will the Digital World. You need to stop that from happening, or you guys will die before you turn 16. Trust me on that."

"Yeah, but I know just our power alone we can't destroy the Dark Moon's Army, and IceDevimon. What about our Digimon, and Digivices?" Ruki questioned.

"Your Digimon are safe in the Digital World."

"Yeah, but last time, we had all the Digidestined: Davis, Yolei, TK, Kari, Cody, Takato, Lee, and Me. Now we just have: Takato, Lee, and me. The rest are in Tokyo."

"Yes, but there were more Digidestined. There was just more than enough 3 years ago, and with the new Digidestined, they'll be with you for a while…Here are your D-Arcs. I know they disappeared out of nowhere when Takato defeated IceDevimon, but I took them for safe keeping." 3 D-Arcs came out of the computer, and went in front of them.

"Man, do the D-Arcs ALWAYS have to do that? They did that last time!"

"Now, here are YOUR D-Arcs." He looked at Juri, Ruki Kamiya, Neo Lady Sakura, Duo, and Cameron. A yellow D-Arc came in front of Juri, a Pink one came for Neo Lady Sakura, Ruki Kamiya's was sky blue, Duo's was orange, and Cameron's D-Arc was white. "Now are you guys going to feel weak with your friends as Digidestined?"

"Uh…Hee hee…nevermind!"
