Mills: I want a nice clean fight. No biting, eye poking, or kicking of the balls. Everything else, I'll allow it. Ascendants and above are allow. Now, let's get it on!
D3: THE DEAMON'S STRIKE
BATTLE OF THE GOGGLEHEADS
" So this is where you boys are hiding." Renamon said as she appeared on the roof behind the trio of warriors. They turned slight to meet her gaze as she walked over.
" About time you got here, foxy." Said blackWargreymon.
" Are you calling me slow?"
" Me? No. I wouldn't think that. Never!"
" He might not say it so I will. You're slow." Pikkan snickered as the fox digimon walked over to the edge, seeing the scene before her; on one side was the tamers minus ryo and his digimon and the other was the digidestined from another world. In front of both sides were takato and takuya, ready to brawl.
" What's going on?"
" A rare treat, renamon; ascendant vs. ascendant." Answered pikkan.
" What are you talking about? Takuya is the only ascendant here, unless..."
" Remember when I told you that there were other ascendants out there? That one, takuya, is one of those others."
" If he is an ascendant, why are they about to fight?"
" It was a misunderstanding."
" Then why don't you stop them?"
" I will, eventually."
On the field of battle, all was quiet, save the blowing of the wind, as takuya and takato sized each other over and thoughts of strategies to pull off. The fire in their eyes radiated out from them and around as everyone could feel the energy in the air.
" Man I've never seen takato so serious about a fight. That kid must be strong." Said rika.
" I don't know. He had trouble with guilmon. Do you think he can handle takato?" wondered terriermon.
" Maybe. He has to be very confident in his skills to fight him alone like this." Said leomon.
" I don't understand. Why does takuya want to fight him alone?" wondered Tommy.
" Maybe takuya can sense something in this kid that we don't. Remember, takuya sent a year training under X. he can do and sense things we can't." answered koji.
" But why are they just standing there?" asked Zoe.
" My guess? They are studying each other, trying to find weaknesses in their defense. Also, they both know that who ever throws the first blow, they're gonna put everything they got into it."
" So who do you think gonna throw down first?" asked kenta.
" I think......" leomon started to say but was cut off by the battle cry of takuya as he launched himself at takato.
" I thought so."
Takuya landed a kick but takato blocked it with his arms crossed. He went for a punch but takato blocked with his elbow. He threw a punch to his but the tamer caught it with his palm and wrapped his fingers around his fist. Takuya pushed forward with all his might while takato held fast, bracing his hand with his other hand. The two gritted their teeth as they battle for control of the fight while their feet dug in the ground. Takato used his free hand and threw a punch only to have takuya block it with his wrist. He let go of the fist and threw a kick but hit only his other wrist. The momentum shifted as the leader of the tamers went on the offensive, throw punch after punch while the other goggle headed leader dodged and blocked what he could as he started to back step. Takato then switched to his legs as he began to kick. He tried to block them but it seems that his feet were too fast as he caught a few blows to the body. Takato threw a round house but takuya ducked and rolled away while his feet smashed in to a tree and destroyed it. The two fighters stared at each other while trying to catch their breath. Takuya rubbed his arms while his opponent merely cracked his neck.
Damn! This kid is no joke! Just blocking those hits hurts!
The kid's fast! Only renamon and X can dodge my kicks. I must watch him!
" Give it up man! I don't want to really hurt you!"
" Now? No way! I'm getting warmed up. In fact, this is the perfect time to use this technique I've been wanting to try out."
" What technique?"
" You'll see."
Takuya interlocked his fingers and put his feet together as he closed his eyes. Everyone, including the frontier digidestined, wondered what he was going to do. His eyes shot open just before he jumped in to the sky. Takato followed his form as he rocketed into the air and disappeared into the bright light of the sun. Takato tried to find him as he shielded his eyes from the rays but saw nothing. Suddenly, a loud howl filled the ears of everyone in the area; the howl was something like a wolf but different. Takato looked back up to see a silhouette of a wolf emerging for the light of the sun. The shadow then transformed into the form of takuya with his feet out. Takato put up his arms when takuya rapidly hit his defense with his feet. He then dashed to the side and then back again, tripping his legs and sending him to the ground. Takato got back to his feet but could barely catch sight of takuya who seemed to have increased his speed. He was running around, hunched over with his arms hanging out in front. He dashed around the area at a high speed while takato out up his arms in defense. Takuya dashed at him and punched him, causing him to block him but takuya quickly punched him in the gut that gave him an opening to wail on his upper body with fast strikes. Takato fell back after a hard hit while takuya jumped on him rapidly kicking his chest and jumped off, allowing takato to see his face; the carefree expression was gone from his face and in it's stead was a newer more rabid one. His pupils were gone leaving only the whites, his teeth were clenched and growling and his hands were more like wolf's claws.
HOWLING TALON ATTACK
His hands began to glow blue as he cupped them to his side and took off right for the rising takato. A wolf replaced his form as he approached and turned back when unleashed his attack. He struck each side of his face with lightening speed and ended it with a blow with his cupped hands to this face, sending him flying into a tree. After it was over, takuya's eyes returned to normal and a smile rolled on his face.
" Howling wolf technique. How'd you like it?" he gloated while his friends watched in awe.
" That was amazing!" said koji.
" Tell me about it!" added Tommy.
" Gogglehead! You ok?" yelled rika as her boyfriend rose up from the ground and dusted himself off.
" Just fine, rika." he asked while up on the roof, the four natives watched.
" Ok little brother, spill. What did he just do?" asked blackWargreymon.
" The howling wolf technique; takuya can induce an almost feral state of mind on himself, allowing him to mimic the speed, cunning, and strength of a wolf. He come up with the move while training with me on his digital world."
" I see. Takato may be powerful but he can't fight that fast in his normal state without giving up some of his power. Interesting." Said pikkan.
" So what can he do to stop it?" wondered renamon.
" I think I know what he can do but the question is will he?" said her boyfriend as she returned to the battle in time to takato walking back toward takuya.
" That was a interesting technique but that won't beat me."
" Really? How do you figure that?"
" Try it again and find out."
Smiling, takuya once again took to the air to start his technique while takuya spaced his legs apart, straightened his right and crossed his other arm over it. He began to strain and almost immediately his skin turned a deep red as takuya came back down in his wolf state. Ignoring his new skin, he rapidly kicked him in the chest but it seemed to have no effect on him. He jumped back and attacked again with his hands but they seemed to bounce off his now rock like skin. Takato blocked one of his punches and punched him back. Takuya staggered back and began jumping around him but takato remained in his state. He attacked his back with a clawed punched but takato swing around and punched him. He tried again with a kick to the neck but this time, he grabbed his ankle and threw him to the ground. He immediately leapt up and went back on the attack.
" I see. That technique." Said renamon.
" Now, I'm lost. What is he doing?" asked X.
" The Gaia rock technique; takato has concentrated all his energy to his defense, making his body as strong as a rock. In this state, he is immune to his blows." Said the dark mega.
" And it allows him to slow takuya's attacks just enough for him to get a shot in. the kid's smarter that I thought." Said pikkan.
" We shall see."
Pikkan was correct, takato's strategy was working in slowing down takuya but takato was wearing down from using the move. Dashing block, takuya readied his howling talon attack while takato readied his fist for his own attack.
HOWLING TALON ATTACK
MEGA GAIA CRUSHER
The two attacks collided with each, the energy creating a massive explosive force that blew them both back to the ground. As the dust settled, both of the boys lay on the ground, seemingly dead but everyone's relief, the two of them jumped back up and dusted themselves off.
" That's right gogglehead! Keep it up!" yelled rika.
" Don't cut him no slack takuya!" Zoe yelled also.
" That was good, my friend. Kudos to your trainer." Said takuya.
" Thanks. Same to you." replied takato.
" This has been fun but let's get down to business." He said as he removed his brown jacket.
" I see."
" I know what you're hiding."
" As do I."
" So let's cut the crap and give our friends a show." he suggested, removing his cap and putting his goggles on his naked head.
" I agree. You want to go first?"
" Let's do it together. I've never seen someone else do it."
" As with me. Ok, buddy. Let's burn!"
With that, they locked eyes with each other as their hair began to move and rise a little. The ground around them began to break away and float into the air.
" Uh oh." Murmured renamon as she and her colleagues knew what was coming.
" So they are going all out huh?" said the mega.
" I knew this would happen." Said X.
" I haven't seen two ascendants go at it so this will be a treat." Smiled the alterian.
The two boys stood locked on each other as arcs of power shot of them. Suddenly both boys roared with energy as their hair turned the signature gold and their eyes gained the emerald green color of the ascendant, which cause a unified reaction from both sides;
" HOLY SHIT! HE'S ONE TOO?!"
The boys grinned at the reaction they were getting; kazu, kenta, Tommy and JP were freaking out, Henry and koji had they mouths open in shock, terriermon, leomon, and guardramon didn't know what to think, guilmon and neemon just cocked their heads to the side, and rika and zoe just yelled things like 'kill him' and 'bust him up good'.
" Well, shall we?"
" After you."
Takuya dashed forward and kick but he blocked it. Takato went for a punch but takuya caught it. Growling, the boys began to trade blows at lightening speed the digidestined watched in awe.
" I can't believe it! They are fighting so fast!" said koji.
" I know. I can barely keep up." Said bokomon.
" Barely? I can't even tell whose winning!" said Tommy.
" Yeah. What about you JP?" koji asked but got no answer because zoe had him in a head lock and was beating him over the head and face as she view the fight.
" Get him takuya! Hit him! Hit him! Show what you're made of!" she yelled as she keeps beating JP's face in.
" Isn't takuya supposed to be the only one fighting? Ow!" he groaned.
" We haven't seen this in a while." Stated Henry.
" But it's still cool!" said kazu.
" Hey where's terriermon?" wondered Henry. Kazu and kenta pointed to rika who, like Zoe, had terriermon in a headlock, pounding his head and pulling his ears.
" Come on gogglehead! Punch him! PUNCH HIM!" she screamed.
" Ahh! This is worse than princess pretty pants! Oww!"
Takato just then caught him with a roundhouse kick to the face. Takuya staggered back but ran back with a two-hand punch and a head butt. He then uppercutted him into the air but takuya stopped and fired a ki blast right at him. Takuya knocked it away and replied with his own which takato swatted away as well. Takuya flew right at him but just as he reached him, takato brought both his fist down on his neck, stunning him long enough for takato to unload a barrage of punches. The warrior of fire caught his fists and rammed his knee into his gut and returned the punches he just received. He went for kick but the tamer caught his foot and began to swing him around in a huge circle. He let go, sending him racing into the street. He hit the pavement with a boom as bits of concrete and metal flew into the air.
" Alright! That's the way gogglehead!" cheered rika. Takato grinned a little just before he received an energy blast to the face. Takuya raced into the air and sucker punched him and grabbed him in a headlock. He then went into a high-speed dive towards the earth below, hoping to keel haul him.
" Oh no you don't." was all takato said before grabbing him too as they dove. At first he was surprised but his shock was replace with a grin as they hit the dirt, kicking up a large cloud of smoke.
" Damn! Do they had to get everything dirt? I just bathed." Complain kazu.
" This is certainly a dirt fight!" said bokomon.
" Do you they survived?" wondered Zoe but before anyone could answer, the sound of fist against flesh could be hears for as the dust settled, the forms of both takuya and takato could be seen. They had not only survived the fall but they were still fighting as fiercely as before, if not fiercely. Their clothes were torn to shedders, burses covered their faces and blood dripped from cuts and their mouths but they didn't seem to mind their conditions. Just then both boys punched each other in the face with such a force that they both flew back and hit trees on their respective sides. They both laid there for sometime as their friends came to their aid.
" Takato are you ok?" asked Henry.
" Never......better." He groaned as he spit out some blood.
" Takato, stop this! You can't keep this up!" said rika.
" Thanks for the concern rika. But this fight has gone too far." He said as he struggle back to his feet.
" Hey taky, you fine?" asked JP.
" Frosty."
" Takuya, stop fighting! I don't think these guys want to fight anymore!" said Zoe.
" They might not want to but he does." He replied, getting to his feet and pointing to takato.
" So you give up already?" yelled takato.
" Hell no! I'm not ready to throw in towel yet!" takuya yelled back.
" Then why are we even talking?" he roared as he transformed back into an ascendant.
" Agreed!" he also said as he transformed as well and they flew at each other and began to fight again.
" I don't believe it!" said rika.
" What?" asked Henry.
" Before takato jumped back into the fight, I think he had a smile on his face."
It was true for as the boys' battle, both had a grin on his face, despite the fact that they were in an all out brawl.
" They're enjoying this?!" spoke a stunned renamon.
" Yes." Said X.
" But how?"
" When a human becomes an ascendant, something in side them snaps. They began to thrust for battle more and more. It can be maddening at time." Said the mega.
" I see. No wonder I had a hard time with you max." said pikkan.
" Yes. For a long time, I suspected that both of them would be feeling the inch for battle and in their worlds, there was no one strong enough to satisfy them so I arranged this little dual."
" So you had that digimon attack them just have them fight." Said renamon.
" That's right. The need for a just fight would cause them to be careless and reckless. For the mission ahead, I needed those demons out of them and them clear headed."
" I must commend you my friend. Having them fight each other was the perfect to get it out of them." said pikkan.
" Well, I guess it's time to end this little fight. Excuse me." he said as he vanished. Meanwhile on the battle field, takuya and takato's arms were now lock and they were head butting each other, ignoring the pain they were in. takato got his arm free and wrapped his hand around his throat. Gasping for air, takuya, also, got his arm free and did the same to takato. With their oxygen supply cut off, they hit the ground, still choking each other.
" Give......up!"
" No...... You......give......up!"
" Stop it both of you!"
The boys looked up to see X standing over them and they powered down in the process.
" X what are you doing here?" they both said and looked at each other when they realized what they did.
" You know him too?!"
Things had calmed down a bit since the fight; the tamers explained that they didn't attack them and all was forgiven. The two teams resided in rika's house and got to know each other better; kazu and kenta taught Tommy and JP how to play the digimon card game, koji and Henry chatted about other things that seemed to interest only them, bokomon and neemon got to know the digimon and guilmon introduced neemon to something called peanut butter. As for our heroes, they did what all ascendants do after fighting:
" Damn! This food rules!"
" I told you man!"
Takato and takuya were now stuffing their faces with noodles, soup, sandwiches, and anything else they could find on table while Zoe and rika watched.
" As many times as I see it, I still can't get use to it." said rika.
" Tell me about it."
As they said that, both boys started to choke on their food. They hit their chest with their fist and soon were able to breathe.
" Whoa!" said takuya.
" I see we have the same problem."
" Yep."
Without another word, the two started to eat, as if nothing had happened while their girlfriends sweat dropped.
" That was weird!" said Zoe.
" Goggleheads; they're the same in every world." added rika when X entered the room.
" I see you two are enjoying yourselves." He stated, getting a muffled 'yeah' from them both.
" The reason I've brought your teams together is that my master has need of you."
" Your master?" said rika.
" The supreme digi deity. The god of the digital universe." Explained takato.
" Yes. A situation has arisen and we need your skills solve it."
" Cool." Said takuya.
" What now?"
" Pack lightly and meet me in the park at 9:00am on the dot. I've already informed Henry to have jeri join us too. And one more."
" Who?"
" Ryo."
" WHAT?!" rika and takato, spitting out his food, exclaimed.
" I take it you have some problem with ryo."
" Problem?! That asshole tried to break up rika and me!" explained takato.
" I told him if I saw him again, I'd butcher him!" said rika.
" Nevertheless, we need all the help we can get and ryo may come in handy."
" Alright but if he tries anything and I mean anything with rika, I'll kill him!"
" As if you'd get the chance gogglehead! If he tries anything with me, they wont be anything left to kill!"
" They have issues." Pointed out Zoe.
" For sure. Jelly roll?" offered takuya.
" Jelly roll."
" What do you mean you're not coming?!" both jeri and renamon exclaimed at what they heard; pikkan and blackWargreymon were not coming.
" Just what they said. I don't think we will need them to fight but I want them in reserve just in case." Explained X.
" It makes sense jeri. It's better to have our strongest in the back." Added leomon.
" Ok. I think I understand." Jeri said, somewhat depressed when pikkan knelt down in front of her.
" Listen, you're a tamer and you have a reasonability to fight when you have to."
" I know but I would feel better if both you and leomon were with me."
" I know but leomon will take care of you until you get back."
" And when we get back, can we got for a walk?"
" Sure." He said a little reluctantly and then hugged her.
" They sure do make a good couple don't they?" asked renamon.
" You would know." The mega said.
" Listen, I just wanted you to know that if you......"
" I know. I'm not jeri. I understand."
" Well do you think you can last against whatever it is?"
" Sure I can slugger." She shot as she playfully punched him in the face and followed up with a hug.
" You take care of yourself foxy."
" I will." She assured as she broke the hug.
" Come on. We have to go." Announced leomon. The girls took one last look at their men and walked off.
" Take care of them bro."
" I will."
" Where are they?" paced an impatience takuya as he paced up and down the path.
" Settle down takuya. They'll be here." Said koji.
" I know but if I known they would be late, I would have brought a snack."
" Didn't you bring one?" asked bokomon.
" Yeah but Zoe ate It." he answered, as Zoe burped.
" Hey guys!"
Walking down the path was kazu, kenta, guardromon and marine Angemon.
" Hey!" welcomed Tommy.
" Sorry we're late. Guardromon want to oil his joints." Explained kazu.
" It's ok. The only thing I was afraid was that takuya might eat seraphimon's egg." Joked JP.
" THAT IS NOT FUNNY! It's ok. Momma's here." Bokomon said, stroking his egg as the others looked on, weirdly.
" So any one else coming?"
" That would include me."
They all turned to see ryo akiyama and his digimon monodramon, sitting behind them.
" Guys May I introduce the legendary tamer, ryo akiyama." Said kenta, as hyped as ever.
" Hi. You must be the new guys." He said.
" Yep. I'm takuya, and this is koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, bokomon and neemon."
" Nice to meet you. Hello there!" he spoke to Zoe in a seductive tone.
" Uh hi."
" So after this is over, do you want to get some dinner?"
" Um maybe."
" I see. You are very good looking." He said before he pinched Zoe on her behind. The boys saw this and stepped back a few feet.
" Counting down. In 3......" said takuya.
" 2......" said koji.
" 1......" said JP.
" And......" said Tommy.
" YOU JERK! HOW DARE YOU! WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR, A HO?! YOU DON'T TOUCH ME LIKE?! DON'T YOU RUN FROM A LADY?! COME HERE YOU, BASTARD?!"
(Author's note: I would tell you what she's doing to him but there are men reading.)
As Zoe was introducing herself to ryo, takato, rika, Henry and their digimon arrived with jeri and leomon.
" Let me guess; Mr. Perfect tried to hit on her?" suggested rika.
" Yep. He touched her. Zoe is very touchy of her about her space." Explained takuya when suddenly.
" Hey what are you doing? Stop THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" he screamed, in a high voice.
" OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" the boys went, grabbing their crotches.
" Hmmmm, now why didn't I think of that?" said rika.
" As least she's going easy on him." Said takuya.
" Yeah. She only twisting one." pointing koji as Zoe finished and sighed.
" Zo, you feel better?"
" Very." She answered as takuya and the warriors looked over ryo.
" Dumbass." He said as they snickered at him.
" If you all are quite finished, we have work to do." said X as he jumped from a tree.
" Yep. I'm done." said Zoe.
" Legendary warriors are ready."
" Tamers are ready."
" Alright let's go!"
NEXT TIME: it's time to recruit the digidestined. But what's up with sora and Tai? Are they hiding something?
A DAY FOR COURAGE AND LOVE
Rika: (gives zoe and high five.) great job on that ass, ryo.

D3: THE DEAMON'S STRIKE
BATTLE OF THE GOGGLEHEADS
" So this is where you boys are hiding." Renamon said as she appeared on the roof behind the trio of warriors. They turned slight to meet her gaze as she walked over.
" About time you got here, foxy." Said blackWargreymon.
" Are you calling me slow?"
" Me? No. I wouldn't think that. Never!"
" He might not say it so I will. You're slow." Pikkan snickered as the fox digimon walked over to the edge, seeing the scene before her; on one side was the tamers minus ryo and his digimon and the other was the digidestined from another world. In front of both sides were takato and takuya, ready to brawl.
" What's going on?"
" A rare treat, renamon; ascendant vs. ascendant." Answered pikkan.
" What are you talking about? Takuya is the only ascendant here, unless..."
" Remember when I told you that there were other ascendants out there? That one, takuya, is one of those others."
" If he is an ascendant, why are they about to fight?"
" It was a misunderstanding."
" Then why don't you stop them?"
" I will, eventually."
On the field of battle, all was quiet, save the blowing of the wind, as takuya and takato sized each other over and thoughts of strategies to pull off. The fire in their eyes radiated out from them and around as everyone could feel the energy in the air.
" Man I've never seen takato so serious about a fight. That kid must be strong." Said rika.
" I don't know. He had trouble with guilmon. Do you think he can handle takato?" wondered terriermon.
" Maybe. He has to be very confident in his skills to fight him alone like this." Said leomon.
" I don't understand. Why does takuya want to fight him alone?" wondered Tommy.
" Maybe takuya can sense something in this kid that we don't. Remember, takuya sent a year training under X. he can do and sense things we can't." answered koji.
" But why are they just standing there?" asked Zoe.
" My guess? They are studying each other, trying to find weaknesses in their defense. Also, they both know that who ever throws the first blow, they're gonna put everything they got into it."
" So who do you think gonna throw down first?" asked kenta.
" I think......" leomon started to say but was cut off by the battle cry of takuya as he launched himself at takato.
" I thought so."
Takuya landed a kick but takato blocked it with his arms crossed. He went for a punch but takato blocked with his elbow. He threw a punch to his but the tamer caught it with his palm and wrapped his fingers around his fist. Takuya pushed forward with all his might while takato held fast, bracing his hand with his other hand. The two gritted their teeth as they battle for control of the fight while their feet dug in the ground. Takato used his free hand and threw a punch only to have takuya block it with his wrist. He let go of the fist and threw a kick but hit only his other wrist. The momentum shifted as the leader of the tamers went on the offensive, throw punch after punch while the other goggle headed leader dodged and blocked what he could as he started to back step. Takato then switched to his legs as he began to kick. He tried to block them but it seems that his feet were too fast as he caught a few blows to the body. Takato threw a round house but takuya ducked and rolled away while his feet smashed in to a tree and destroyed it. The two fighters stared at each other while trying to catch their breath. Takuya rubbed his arms while his opponent merely cracked his neck.
Damn! This kid is no joke! Just blocking those hits hurts!
The kid's fast! Only renamon and X can dodge my kicks. I must watch him!
" Give it up man! I don't want to really hurt you!"
" Now? No way! I'm getting warmed up. In fact, this is the perfect time to use this technique I've been wanting to try out."
" What technique?"
" You'll see."
Takuya interlocked his fingers and put his feet together as he closed his eyes. Everyone, including the frontier digidestined, wondered what he was going to do. His eyes shot open just before he jumped in to the sky. Takato followed his form as he rocketed into the air and disappeared into the bright light of the sun. Takato tried to find him as he shielded his eyes from the rays but saw nothing. Suddenly, a loud howl filled the ears of everyone in the area; the howl was something like a wolf but different. Takato looked back up to see a silhouette of a wolf emerging for the light of the sun. The shadow then transformed into the form of takuya with his feet out. Takato put up his arms when takuya rapidly hit his defense with his feet. He then dashed to the side and then back again, tripping his legs and sending him to the ground. Takato got back to his feet but could barely catch sight of takuya who seemed to have increased his speed. He was running around, hunched over with his arms hanging out in front. He dashed around the area at a high speed while takato out up his arms in defense. Takuya dashed at him and punched him, causing him to block him but takuya quickly punched him in the gut that gave him an opening to wail on his upper body with fast strikes. Takato fell back after a hard hit while takuya jumped on him rapidly kicking his chest and jumped off, allowing takato to see his face; the carefree expression was gone from his face and in it's stead was a newer more rabid one. His pupils were gone leaving only the whites, his teeth were clenched and growling and his hands were more like wolf's claws.
HOWLING TALON ATTACK
His hands began to glow blue as he cupped them to his side and took off right for the rising takato. A wolf replaced his form as he approached and turned back when unleashed his attack. He struck each side of his face with lightening speed and ended it with a blow with his cupped hands to this face, sending him flying into a tree. After it was over, takuya's eyes returned to normal and a smile rolled on his face.
" Howling wolf technique. How'd you like it?" he gloated while his friends watched in awe.
" That was amazing!" said koji.
" Tell me about it!" added Tommy.
" Gogglehead! You ok?" yelled rika as her boyfriend rose up from the ground and dusted himself off.
" Just fine, rika." he asked while up on the roof, the four natives watched.
" Ok little brother, spill. What did he just do?" asked blackWargreymon.
" The howling wolf technique; takuya can induce an almost feral state of mind on himself, allowing him to mimic the speed, cunning, and strength of a wolf. He come up with the move while training with me on his digital world."
" I see. Takato may be powerful but he can't fight that fast in his normal state without giving up some of his power. Interesting." Said pikkan.
" So what can he do to stop it?" wondered renamon.
" I think I know what he can do but the question is will he?" said her boyfriend as she returned to the battle in time to takato walking back toward takuya.
" That was a interesting technique but that won't beat me."
" Really? How do you figure that?"
" Try it again and find out."
Smiling, takuya once again took to the air to start his technique while takuya spaced his legs apart, straightened his right and crossed his other arm over it. He began to strain and almost immediately his skin turned a deep red as takuya came back down in his wolf state. Ignoring his new skin, he rapidly kicked him in the chest but it seemed to have no effect on him. He jumped back and attacked again with his hands but they seemed to bounce off his now rock like skin. Takato blocked one of his punches and punched him back. Takuya staggered back and began jumping around him but takato remained in his state. He attacked his back with a clawed punched but takato swing around and punched him. He tried again with a kick to the neck but this time, he grabbed his ankle and threw him to the ground. He immediately leapt up and went back on the attack.
" I see. That technique." Said renamon.
" Now, I'm lost. What is he doing?" asked X.
" The Gaia rock technique; takato has concentrated all his energy to his defense, making his body as strong as a rock. In this state, he is immune to his blows." Said the dark mega.
" And it allows him to slow takuya's attacks just enough for him to get a shot in. the kid's smarter that I thought." Said pikkan.
" We shall see."
Pikkan was correct, takato's strategy was working in slowing down takuya but takato was wearing down from using the move. Dashing block, takuya readied his howling talon attack while takato readied his fist for his own attack.
HOWLING TALON ATTACK
MEGA GAIA CRUSHER
The two attacks collided with each, the energy creating a massive explosive force that blew them both back to the ground. As the dust settled, both of the boys lay on the ground, seemingly dead but everyone's relief, the two of them jumped back up and dusted themselves off.
" That's right gogglehead! Keep it up!" yelled rika.
" Don't cut him no slack takuya!" Zoe yelled also.
" That was good, my friend. Kudos to your trainer." Said takuya.
" Thanks. Same to you." replied takato.
" This has been fun but let's get down to business." He said as he removed his brown jacket.
" I see."
" I know what you're hiding."
" As do I."
" So let's cut the crap and give our friends a show." he suggested, removing his cap and putting his goggles on his naked head.
" I agree. You want to go first?"
" Let's do it together. I've never seen someone else do it."
" As with me. Ok, buddy. Let's burn!"
With that, they locked eyes with each other as their hair began to move and rise a little. The ground around them began to break away and float into the air.
" Uh oh." Murmured renamon as she and her colleagues knew what was coming.
" So they are going all out huh?" said the mega.
" I knew this would happen." Said X.
" I haven't seen two ascendants go at it so this will be a treat." Smiled the alterian.
The two boys stood locked on each other as arcs of power shot of them. Suddenly both boys roared with energy as their hair turned the signature gold and their eyes gained the emerald green color of the ascendant, which cause a unified reaction from both sides;
" HOLY SHIT! HE'S ONE TOO?!"
The boys grinned at the reaction they were getting; kazu, kenta, Tommy and JP were freaking out, Henry and koji had they mouths open in shock, terriermon, leomon, and guardramon didn't know what to think, guilmon and neemon just cocked their heads to the side, and rika and zoe just yelled things like 'kill him' and 'bust him up good'.
" Well, shall we?"
" After you."
Takuya dashed forward and kick but he blocked it. Takato went for a punch but takuya caught it. Growling, the boys began to trade blows at lightening speed the digidestined watched in awe.
" I can't believe it! They are fighting so fast!" said koji.
" I know. I can barely keep up." Said bokomon.
" Barely? I can't even tell whose winning!" said Tommy.
" Yeah. What about you JP?" koji asked but got no answer because zoe had him in a head lock and was beating him over the head and face as she view the fight.
" Get him takuya! Hit him! Hit him! Show what you're made of!" she yelled as she keeps beating JP's face in.
" Isn't takuya supposed to be the only one fighting? Ow!" he groaned.
" We haven't seen this in a while." Stated Henry.
" But it's still cool!" said kazu.
" Hey where's terriermon?" wondered Henry. Kazu and kenta pointed to rika who, like Zoe, had terriermon in a headlock, pounding his head and pulling his ears.
" Come on gogglehead! Punch him! PUNCH HIM!" she screamed.
" Ahh! This is worse than princess pretty pants! Oww!"
Takato just then caught him with a roundhouse kick to the face. Takuya staggered back but ran back with a two-hand punch and a head butt. He then uppercutted him into the air but takuya stopped and fired a ki blast right at him. Takuya knocked it away and replied with his own which takato swatted away as well. Takuya flew right at him but just as he reached him, takato brought both his fist down on his neck, stunning him long enough for takato to unload a barrage of punches. The warrior of fire caught his fists and rammed his knee into his gut and returned the punches he just received. He went for kick but the tamer caught his foot and began to swing him around in a huge circle. He let go, sending him racing into the street. He hit the pavement with a boom as bits of concrete and metal flew into the air.
" Alright! That's the way gogglehead!" cheered rika. Takato grinned a little just before he received an energy blast to the face. Takuya raced into the air and sucker punched him and grabbed him in a headlock. He then went into a high-speed dive towards the earth below, hoping to keel haul him.
" Oh no you don't." was all takato said before grabbing him too as they dove. At first he was surprised but his shock was replace with a grin as they hit the dirt, kicking up a large cloud of smoke.
" Damn! Do they had to get everything dirt? I just bathed." Complain kazu.
" This is certainly a dirt fight!" said bokomon.
" Do you they survived?" wondered Zoe but before anyone could answer, the sound of fist against flesh could be hears for as the dust settled, the forms of both takuya and takato could be seen. They had not only survived the fall but they were still fighting as fiercely as before, if not fiercely. Their clothes were torn to shedders, burses covered their faces and blood dripped from cuts and their mouths but they didn't seem to mind their conditions. Just then both boys punched each other in the face with such a force that they both flew back and hit trees on their respective sides. They both laid there for sometime as their friends came to their aid.
" Takato are you ok?" asked Henry.
" Never......better." He groaned as he spit out some blood.
" Takato, stop this! You can't keep this up!" said rika.
" Thanks for the concern rika. But this fight has gone too far." He said as he struggle back to his feet.
" Hey taky, you fine?" asked JP.
" Frosty."
" Takuya, stop fighting! I don't think these guys want to fight anymore!" said Zoe.
" They might not want to but he does." He replied, getting to his feet and pointing to takato.
" So you give up already?" yelled takato.
" Hell no! I'm not ready to throw in towel yet!" takuya yelled back.
" Then why are we even talking?" he roared as he transformed back into an ascendant.
" Agreed!" he also said as he transformed as well and they flew at each other and began to fight again.
" I don't believe it!" said rika.
" What?" asked Henry.
" Before takato jumped back into the fight, I think he had a smile on his face."
It was true for as the boys' battle, both had a grin on his face, despite the fact that they were in an all out brawl.
" They're enjoying this?!" spoke a stunned renamon.
" Yes." Said X.
" But how?"
" When a human becomes an ascendant, something in side them snaps. They began to thrust for battle more and more. It can be maddening at time." Said the mega.
" I see. No wonder I had a hard time with you max." said pikkan.
" Yes. For a long time, I suspected that both of them would be feeling the inch for battle and in their worlds, there was no one strong enough to satisfy them so I arranged this little dual."
" So you had that digimon attack them just have them fight." Said renamon.
" That's right. The need for a just fight would cause them to be careless and reckless. For the mission ahead, I needed those demons out of them and them clear headed."
" I must commend you my friend. Having them fight each other was the perfect to get it out of them." said pikkan.
" Well, I guess it's time to end this little fight. Excuse me." he said as he vanished. Meanwhile on the battle field, takuya and takato's arms were now lock and they were head butting each other, ignoring the pain they were in. takato got his arm free and wrapped his hand around his throat. Gasping for air, takuya, also, got his arm free and did the same to takato. With their oxygen supply cut off, they hit the ground, still choking each other.
" Give......up!"
" No...... You......give......up!"
" Stop it both of you!"
The boys looked up to see X standing over them and they powered down in the process.
" X what are you doing here?" they both said and looked at each other when they realized what they did.
" You know him too?!"
Things had calmed down a bit since the fight; the tamers explained that they didn't attack them and all was forgiven. The two teams resided in rika's house and got to know each other better; kazu and kenta taught Tommy and JP how to play the digimon card game, koji and Henry chatted about other things that seemed to interest only them, bokomon and neemon got to know the digimon and guilmon introduced neemon to something called peanut butter. As for our heroes, they did what all ascendants do after fighting:
" Damn! This food rules!"
" I told you man!"
Takato and takuya were now stuffing their faces with noodles, soup, sandwiches, and anything else they could find on table while Zoe and rika watched.
" As many times as I see it, I still can't get use to it." said rika.
" Tell me about it."
As they said that, both boys started to choke on their food. They hit their chest with their fist and soon were able to breathe.
" Whoa!" said takuya.
" I see we have the same problem."
" Yep."
Without another word, the two started to eat, as if nothing had happened while their girlfriends sweat dropped.
" That was weird!" said Zoe.
" Goggleheads; they're the same in every world." added rika when X entered the room.
" I see you two are enjoying yourselves." He stated, getting a muffled 'yeah' from them both.
" The reason I've brought your teams together is that my master has need of you."
" Your master?" said rika.
" The supreme digi deity. The god of the digital universe." Explained takato.
" Yes. A situation has arisen and we need your skills solve it."
" Cool." Said takuya.
" What now?"
" Pack lightly and meet me in the park at 9:00am on the dot. I've already informed Henry to have jeri join us too. And one more."
" Who?"
" Ryo."
" WHAT?!" rika and takato, spitting out his food, exclaimed.
" I take it you have some problem with ryo."
" Problem?! That asshole tried to break up rika and me!" explained takato.
" I told him if I saw him again, I'd butcher him!" said rika.
" Nevertheless, we need all the help we can get and ryo may come in handy."
" Alright but if he tries anything and I mean anything with rika, I'll kill him!"
" As if you'd get the chance gogglehead! If he tries anything with me, they wont be anything left to kill!"
" They have issues." Pointed out Zoe.
" For sure. Jelly roll?" offered takuya.
" Jelly roll."
" What do you mean you're not coming?!" both jeri and renamon exclaimed at what they heard; pikkan and blackWargreymon were not coming.
" Just what they said. I don't think we will need them to fight but I want them in reserve just in case." Explained X.
" It makes sense jeri. It's better to have our strongest in the back." Added leomon.
" Ok. I think I understand." Jeri said, somewhat depressed when pikkan knelt down in front of her.
" Listen, you're a tamer and you have a reasonability to fight when you have to."
" I know but I would feel better if both you and leomon were with me."
" I know but leomon will take care of you until you get back."
" And when we get back, can we got for a walk?"
" Sure." He said a little reluctantly and then hugged her.
" They sure do make a good couple don't they?" asked renamon.
" You would know." The mega said.
" Listen, I just wanted you to know that if you......"
" I know. I'm not jeri. I understand."
" Well do you think you can last against whatever it is?"
" Sure I can slugger." She shot as she playfully punched him in the face and followed up with a hug.
" You take care of yourself foxy."
" I will." She assured as she broke the hug.
" Come on. We have to go." Announced leomon. The girls took one last look at their men and walked off.
" Take care of them bro."
" I will."
" Where are they?" paced an impatience takuya as he paced up and down the path.
" Settle down takuya. They'll be here." Said koji.
" I know but if I known they would be late, I would have brought a snack."
" Didn't you bring one?" asked bokomon.
" Yeah but Zoe ate It." he answered, as Zoe burped.
" Hey guys!"
Walking down the path was kazu, kenta, guardromon and marine Angemon.
" Hey!" welcomed Tommy.
" Sorry we're late. Guardromon want to oil his joints." Explained kazu.
" It's ok. The only thing I was afraid was that takuya might eat seraphimon's egg." Joked JP.
" THAT IS NOT FUNNY! It's ok. Momma's here." Bokomon said, stroking his egg as the others looked on, weirdly.
" So any one else coming?"
" That would include me."
They all turned to see ryo akiyama and his digimon monodramon, sitting behind them.
" Guys May I introduce the legendary tamer, ryo akiyama." Said kenta, as hyped as ever.
" Hi. You must be the new guys." He said.
" Yep. I'm takuya, and this is koji, JP, Zoe, Tommy, bokomon and neemon."
" Nice to meet you. Hello there!" he spoke to Zoe in a seductive tone.
" Uh hi."
" So after this is over, do you want to get some dinner?"
" Um maybe."
" I see. You are very good looking." He said before he pinched Zoe on her behind. The boys saw this and stepped back a few feet.
" Counting down. In 3......" said takuya.
" 2......" said koji.
" 1......" said JP.
" And......" said Tommy.
" YOU JERK! HOW DARE YOU! WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR, A HO?! YOU DON'T TOUCH ME LIKE?! DON'T YOU RUN FROM A LADY?! COME HERE YOU, BASTARD?!"
(Author's note: I would tell you what she's doing to him but there are men reading.)
As Zoe was introducing herself to ryo, takato, rika, Henry and their digimon arrived with jeri and leomon.
" Let me guess; Mr. Perfect tried to hit on her?" suggested rika.
" Yep. He touched her. Zoe is very touchy of her about her space." Explained takuya when suddenly.
" Hey what are you doing? Stop THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" he screamed, in a high voice.
" OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!" the boys went, grabbing their crotches.
" Hmmmm, now why didn't I think of that?" said rika.
" As least she's going easy on him." Said takuya.
" Yeah. She only twisting one." pointing koji as Zoe finished and sighed.
" Zo, you feel better?"
" Very." She answered as takuya and the warriors looked over ryo.
" Dumbass." He said as they snickered at him.
" If you all are quite finished, we have work to do." said X as he jumped from a tree.
" Yep. I'm done." said Zoe.
" Legendary warriors are ready."
" Tamers are ready."
" Alright let's go!"
NEXT TIME: it's time to recruit the digidestined. But what's up with sora and Tai? Are they hiding something?
