Me: This is how its done-I don't own Digimon.
Rika: (grins) Really? What a big surprise.
Me: (eyes Rika with a look) Very funny. Anyway, song-wise, I'm not sure it would be appropriate as of now to add songs into the story-that, and the fact that I can't think of any songs to go with this story right now!
Takato: (enters) I'm sure you'll think of something…I hope.
Digimon Tamers: Tamer V.S. Tamer
Chapter II-Ambush in the dead of night!
"Are you guys ready, 'cause we're gonna do this even if you're not!" –Takato
"Okay-I'm with you!" –Rika
"That's more like it! THIS BATTLE HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!!" –Takato
"Huh? That's weird. It's like something outta that Twilighty show about that zone." –Homer Simpson
Rika's eyes narrowed in anger and surprise as she ended up running into her clone at 10:00 at night!
"What do you want? In case you're confused on what time it is, it's 10:00, and I'm heading home, so if you want to battle, just wait until tomorrow." A second later, Ruki suddenly appeared behind Rika and struck her-hard-on the base of her neck, seriously hurting her!
"Rika! Are you all right?" Renamon asked as she bent down to help her up.
"I'm fine. But I think we may need some help." Rika admitted calmly. At that moment, Rika took notice that Calumon was hiding in the shadows, attempting to go to sleep.
"Calumon! Sorry for waking you, but you've got to find either Takato or Henry and get them down here immediately!" Rika insisted as the tiny Digimon got up from his position on the ground.
"How come? Hey, why didn't you tell me you knew someone who looked like you?" Calumon asked sleepily as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Simple-she was just created by somebody a few days ago. Now get to Takato-I mean, just get going now!" Rika advised as she tried in vain to hide her rapidly reddening cheeks.
"Rika, it's time to test our duplicates."
"Let's go."
Digimodify!
"Digimodify! Digivolution, activate!"
Digivolution!
"Renamon Digivolve to…KYUBIMON!!!"
Digimon!
At 10:05, Takato was preparing himself to go to sleep when he heard a light tapping at his window. Groaning, he got up and looked outside.
"Why aren't I surprised that these two are here?" Takato thought to himself as he opened the window up and let Calumon and Guilmon inside.
"What? It's ten o'clock at night and I'm very tired." Takato said irritably.
"Rika's been ambushed in an alleyway and she sent me to find you! I figured it would take too much time to get to Guilmon, so I went to him first." Calumon explained between breaths.
"Why can't these clones stick to attacking us in the daytime?" Takato complained as he grabbed his clothes and goggles, quickly changed, grabbed his Digivice and cards and went out the window with his partner and Calumon.
"Diamond Storm!!" Rika flinched as Kyubimon was sent flying to the ground by Ruki's partner while she was still in Rookie mode!
"Hang on, Kyubimon. I'm sure Takato-or Henry-will be here eventually-hopefully." Rika whispered to herself.
"PyroBlaster!!" Growlmon's main attack hit Renamon hard and sent her down.
"What took you so long?" Rika demanded, the relief on her face replaced with irritation.
"We had to get Guilmon, some clothes and my cards! Would you rather I go outside in the buff?" Takato retorted as he ran up to her.
"If it'll get you here any faster, be my guest."
"Renamon Digivolve to…KYUBIMON!!!" Takato and Rika turned to see Ruki's Renamon had Digivolved!
"Houston, we have a problem." Takato cracked as Ruki and her Kyubimon prepared to face his Growlmon and Kyubimon!
"What do you mean she just left?! And who said you could rearrange their names? The reason I named you after the Tamers was so in the process of defeating them and their Digimon, you could take over their lives and no one would be the wiser! Takato-go out and find them now or you'll find yourself on the cutting room floor!" Yamaki demanded angrily. With anger flashing in his own eyes, "Takato" turned and left.
"And as for you, 'Lee,' it's time to teach you some proper respect for your elders."
Takato, Rika and Calumon avoided a Foxtail Inferno attack sent by Ruki's Digimon.
"Dragon Slash!!" Growlmon's attack hit "Kyubimon" and hurt her, but not enough to stop her.
"Dragon Wheel!!" As for Growlmon, he was hurt a lot worse than "Kyubimon" had been!
"Great! We're pinned down on two fronts. On the one hand, we're blocked from retreat by your clone; on the other hand, Kyubimon's clone is twice as powerful than Growlmon and Kyubimon combined! So, what do we do?" Takato asked with a concerned look toward Rika.
"For starters, we could try this…" Before Takato could blink, Rika slapped him, gently, but firmly, on the cheek.
"Snap out of it, Gogglehead! You're not supposed to be that worried about this. We've pulled out of worse than things like that, right? Well, am I right?" Rika asked Takato impatiently. It took him some time to figure out that Rika had slapped him, and a bit longer to realize that she'd just given him a stern lecture, so all he could do was nod.
"That's the spirit, Takato! Now get up and help me help our Digimon take them down!" Rika demanded calmly as she picked up a card.
"Yeah! We can do it!" Takato agreed as he stood up and went to reach for one of his cards. Unbeknownst to him or Rika, they'd both grabbed a blue card.
Digimodify!
"Digimodify! Matrix Digivolution, activate!" Takato and Rika chorused as they slashed their cards through their Digivices as one.
"And I thought this would be a peaceful night!" Calumon yelled as the triangle on his head glowed and sent a red beam flying through the air.
Matrix Digivolution!
"Growlmon Matrix Digivolve to…WARGROWLMON!!!"
"Kyubimon Matrix Digivolve to…TAOMON!!!"
Digimon!
Takato and Rika smiled as WarGrowlmon and Taomon faced Kyubimon down.
"Thousand Spells!!" Taomon yelled out. The attack hurt Kyubimon, but she was still standing.
"Radiation Blade!!" Takato demanded. WarGrowlmon smiled as his attack forced Kyubimon back a few feet.
"Finally-things are going our way!" Calumon declared happily. At that moment, "Takato" and "WarGrowlmon" appeared, neither one looking happy. When Takato and Rika caught wind of them, only Takato had something to say:
"Oh boy…"
Henry was half-asleep when his eyes fluttered open to see two WarGrowlmon in the distance. In shock, he woke up, fell off his bed and landed onto the floor!
"If you're going to stay awake, could you at least get me some food to eat? Hey, is it just me or do I see two WarGrowlmon getting ready to fight each other?" Terriermon asked as he got up from his position on the bed.
"It's just you." Henry retorted sarcastically as he grabbed his clothes and prepared to change. "Now come on-we don't have much time!"
"You ready?" chorused both Takatos-good and evil. The two Ultimate Digimon nodded.
"This is gonna be one for the history books, Calumon." Rika noted with a grin on her face.
"Yeah! Just one question-what's a history book?" Calumon asked, momentarily taking his eyes off of the impending battle.
Rika allowed a slight laugh to be heard as she focused her attention on Calumon. "I'll tell you later."
A second later, both WarGrowlmon slammed into each other-hard! Takato-our Takato-groaned as he felt the impact of that hit! Almost as if he knew what Takato was going to say, "Takato" said it at the exact same time: "Radiation Blade attack!!"
The two attacks collided and exploded, kicking up quite a lot of dust. Once it faded, WarGrowlmon looked tired-wouldn't you after taking on a Champion Digimon then, suddenly being forced to battle an Ultimate Digimon?-and "WarGrowlmon" still looked like he was in his prime. Takato cried out as he felt the impact of the attack, "ATOMIC BLASTERRRRRRRRRRRR!" Strangely enough, "Takato" had yelled that out, too. The cannons powered themselves up, and Takato dived for Rika, managing to pull her down to the ground. "GET DOWN!"
At that second, a gigantic explosion occurred, not only sending up dust, but remnants of the ground, fragments of who knew what else and other stuff. When all this faded, only one WarGrowlmon stood in triumph…and it wasn't the one we figured would win. He had reverted back to Guilmon and had been knocked out, as had Takato!
"Takato! Get up! What's wrong with-?" Rika had stopped talking, mostly because she found her clone on Kyubimon, holding a rope.
"Want him up? Fine. He's up and gone!" Moments later, Ruki tossed the rope and it latched itself around Takato's waist, hoisting him up and onto Kyubimon's back.
"What? Taomon, stop them!" Rika insisted.
"Thousand Spells!!" Not even Taomon's attack could stop them, since they did take off alongside their other partners, who'd taken Guilmon too. As Henry and Terriermon came in, Rika declared through her tiny midst of tears, "You won't get away! Wherever you go, I'll find you and teach you guys a lesson if you don't give him BACK!!"
Aw no! Takato's been captured by the main bad dudes. What are Rika and Henry going to do about this tough situation? Find out on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!
