Me: I don't own Digimon, nor do I own "Moving On" from Megchan's site. This could be one of my best chapters yet, but I'm not sure about that.

Takato: Don't put yourself down-there are bound to be others out there who'd agree with you on this!

Me: Right, and if that's true, then why isn't Rika here?

Takato: Oh! Uh…she went…I don't know.

Me: My point exactly.

Digimon Tamers: Tamer V.S. Tamer

Chapter VI-Battle in the Park

"Sometimes, I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Why am I here?' Then a voice answers, 'Why? Where do you want to be?'" –Charlie Brown

I quietly put my things in my bag

With a treasure map in my hand, I fly out into the street

When we meet in our secret base, let's all get in a circle and make a plan

Surely none of us knows what will come tomorrow, but it sure is fun!

"Slow down, Takato!"

Narrowing his eyes until they were little slits, Takato sped up, determined to discover if his plan would work. The only way for the Tamers to actually have a chance of defeating their clones would be if they were fighting them on their terms, on their turf!

"I still wish Guilmon would pedal every once in a while. No time to stop now-we're almost there!" Takato thought to himself as he noticed the gate that led to Guilmon's house was open. Smiling, he came to a stop and he and Guilmon started walking the rest of the way.

"ATOMIC BLASTER!!"

WHAM! The ground under Takato's feet exploded under him and Guilmon as they both were sent flying straight into Guilmon's home! They both crashed into the wall, Takato taking the brunt of it on his back. With a weak moan, Takato figured Rika had felt that injury, too.

"Takato? You okay, Chumly?"

Takato sighed as he weakly opened his eyes and came across three familiar faces that shouldn't be here at this time-Kazu, Kenta and Jeri.

"Guys…" Takato forced himself back up onto his feet and helped Guilmon back up. "…the three of you really shouldn't be here right now. We've got a problem-a big one."

"What? Is it a Deva?" Kenta asked.

"Nope. This is much worse than that. I'll tell you later, but now you've all got to get back home." Takato and Guilmon led his friends outside, but once they went out, Rika, Henry, Terriermon and Calumon were surrounded on all sides by their clones!

"Whoa! Takato, you didn't tell us there were two of you Tamers!" Kazu exclaimed.

"Kazu, not now! Just go!" Takato insisted. He looked up and noticed Renamon appear on a tree branch, getting ready for a sneak attack.

"But if they leave, they won't get a chance to meet their new friends, will they?" Takato growled as he looked back down and saw Rika being trapped by his clone.

"LET HER GO! If it's me you want, then take me and let Rika and Henry go!" Takato demanded.

"You're wrong on this case, gogglehead. It's not just you we want-it's all three of you." Takato felt pure energy radiating through his body at that moment. He was getting angry, and his emotions were running wild.

Moving on!

An adventure that will make our bodies heat up, overflowing with feelings

Look! Moving on is waiting for us!

We've got to get going soon; clutching our precious dreams, we'll set out on a journey

We're adventurers!

"You wanna take us down, battle with me first!" Takato declared as he whipped out a Modify card with one move.

"Diamond Storm!!" Renamon's attack rang true, but the clones moved out of the way, and avoided the attack. That did give Rika and Henry ample time to get free.

"Let's go!" Takato said immediately.

Digimodify!

"Digimodify! Digivolution, activate!" Takato, Rika and Henry all chorused, swiping their cards through in one shot.

Digivolution!

"Guilmon…"

"Renamon…"

"Terriermon…"

"Digivolve to…GROWLMON!!!/KYUBIMON!!!/GARGOMON!!!"

Digimon!

"Get out of here now!" Takato yelled impatiently as Growlmon, Kyubimon and Gargomon went to take on the clones.

"What? We're going already-no need to yell." Gargomon insisted.

"I don't mean you, Gargomon-I mean Kazu, Jeri and Kenta."

"No way, Chumly! You may need us for something real important, and we're not backing down." Kazu replied.

"What else would we do-tell our family what's going on today? 'Hi, mom. Did you know Takato had an evil twin brother? No, I had no idea about it either.'" Kenta said.

"All right, but stay out of sight and don't come out unless you're sure it's us!" Before leaving, Jeri hugged Takato and said, "Be careful, Takato." Out of the corner of his eyes, Takato noted that Rika was blushing, but out of anger and pure irritation.

"Sure. Now get going!"

If we've got the compass pointed the right direction, let's decide our destination, keep it a secret from the adults

That's right, none of us understands anything difficult, but that's all right, too!

"Dragon Slash!!" Growlmon yelled. The attack bounced off of "WarGrowlmon's" armor.

"Takato, he's an Ultimate! You've got to go higher than Champion." Henry cautioned.

"Gargo Lasers!!"

"Bunny Pummel!!" Seconds later, Gargomon went flying back and hit the ground.

"Digimodify! Power, activate!" Takato and Rika said.

"PyroBlaster!!"

"Dragon Wheel!!" Both attacks did nothing, not even a scratch!

"Talisman of Light!!" However, that attack caused Kyubimon serious pain.

"Atomic Blaster!!" Takato and Rika both yelled out as Growlmon was hit hard in the chest and sent flying back.

"Guys, are you two okay?" Kazu yelled out.

"Say something, Takato!"

Takato remembered the time he'd taken on Mihiramon…when Growlmon had been bitten on the arm, he'd felt the pain so badly that he'd passed out.

"Great! I'm connected to both Growlmon and Rika! I can't go anywhere without endangering lives of the people I love. But, maybe I can borrow some strength from one of them and we can turn this to our advantage." Takato concentrated, focusing on something that made him truly happy. That's when it clicked: the time he and Rika had kissed. He'd felt passion, understanding, caring, and love from her all at the same time!

Digimodify!

"Digimodify! Matrix Digivolution, activate!" Takato said.

Matrix Digivolution!

"Growlmon Matrix Digivolve to…WARGROWLMON!!!"

Digimon!

Moving on!

Because there's an adventure that will make smiles overflow

Look! Moving on spontaneously from our hearts; surely we won't be able to stop

The sun is always our friend, everyone's an adventurer

"Radiation Blade attack!!" Takato growled defiantly as he focused on the clones with intent.

"You got it, Takato!" Seconds later, "Taomon" and "Gargomon" reverted back to their Rookie forms, extremely weak.

"Guys, now! Take them out while you have the chance!" Takato said.

"We're on it, Gogglehead!" Rika responded as she, Calumon and Kyubimon raced forward alongside Gargomon.

"Are you doing okay, Takato? You don't look so good." Henry asked.

"I'm fine."

"Foxtail Inferno!!"

"Gargo Lasers!!" The two attacks simultaneously hit their clones and when they were deleted, Rika and Henry's clones vanished without a trace that they were ever there.

Takato knew the final battle was meant for him and his clone. They both yelled out, "ATOMIC BLASTERRRRRRRR!!!!!" Seconds later, the cannons powered up and glowed with pure energy. The two attacks collided and an intense explosion sounded throughout the park! When the dust faded, Takato and Guilmon were both on the ground, writhing in pain. Rika ran over to them, ignoring the pain in her own stomach.

"Takato, you'd better get up! We don't have much time." Rika warned as she looked up and noticed Takato and Guilmon's clones making their way toward them.

"NO! I'm not giving up! We're not giving up! We've been through too much to have it end like this. Guilmon is willing to fight, just like he was against Mihiramon. It's like I said, as long as he's there, I'm going to fight right along his side!" At that instant, a red Modify card was in Takato's hand.

"Go for it, Takato." Henry said. Takato eyed Rika, who offered him one of her rare smiles.

"I didn't get with you just to see you die at the hands of your clone, so take him out!"

"You bet! Tamers, UNITE!"

Digimodify!

"Digimodify! Warp-Digivolution, activate!"

Warp-Digivolution!

"Guilmon Warp-Digivolve to…GALLANTMON!!!"

Digimon! (A/N: Thanks to T.K. Macintosh for letting me know Guilmon's Mega name for the States!)

Moving on!

An adventure that will make our whole bodies heat up, overflowing with feelings

Look! Moving on is waiting for us

We've got to get going soon

Clutching our precious dreams, we'll set out on a journey

We're adventurers!

Wow! Takato made Guilmon Warp-Digivolve with one move! Let's hope Gallantmon can lead the Tamers to victory in Chapter VII: Takato's Final Battle. Don't worry-the next segment of "Tamer V.S. Tamer" is coming up!
