2 Author's Note: I rewrote this chapter so many times it's not even funny, but here's what I finally settled on. It's a little different from the rest of the story. It's in 1st person (Terriermon's P.O.V.), and I hope it comes out okay. Enjoy!

4 Chapter Four:

4.1 Terriermon



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

How I got out of the apartment, I'm not really sure. All I could remember is feeling sudden panic, and then I was on the sidewalk. I knew something had happened to Henry. I felt it. It was the same feeling I had that morning: a feeling of danger, of fear. I knew I should've never let Henry leave.

As I ran down the street, I got mixed reactions from the humans walking past. Some thought I was cute; others thought I was a gigantic rat. But I didn't care. All I could think out was getting to Henry.

I arrived at the schoolyard in seconds, and what I saw nearly made my heart stop:

A tall, human-like digimon, grabbing Henry.

Both Renamon and Rika, on the ground.

But then, Henry and the digimon were gone, and Renamon scrambled up to check over her semi-hysterical tamer.

From the way Rika was crying, I could tell I'd definitely missed something. However, I had no time to speculate over it; I had my own tamer to save. I began sprinting toward the direction the digimon had dragged Henry.

" Help!" my tamer's cry made me go even faster than I was usually able to, and I soon caught up with them.

Henry was struggling violently, trying to get away while the digimon tried to get his long fingers over the boy's mouth.

"Terrier tornado!"

"Diamond storm!"

Renamon had obviously chased after me. Henry was released, and he stumbled forward into Rika's arms.

With Henry safely out of the way, I was ready to trash this fool, this idiot who thought he could mess with my tamer, put him in danger, and get away with it.

"Terrier tornado!"

However, the attack had absolutely no effect. The stranger simply knocked me aside, and I hit a nearby tree.

"Terriermon!"

I was able to open my eyes wide enough to see the digimon blast Renamon aside and raise his cannon toward Rika…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

(Renamon's P.O.V.)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I knew I couldn't take much more. Two hits were way too much for me.

-Rika…-

Where was Rika?!

-Oh, God-

Chaomon was advancing toward her and Henry, his cannon pointed straight at her head.

"Chaomon, no!" I cried, and he stopped.

"I'm sorry, love, but she'd only get in my way…" he sang, enjoying the look of fear in my eyes, "Chaos Cannon!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Digivolution!

Renamon, digivolve to… Kyubimon!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Fox tail Inferno!"

Chaomon was down again, shot down by his own blast (which I had knocked back toward him), but still had his cannon pointed toward Rika, and I was only able to get one cry out as he fired.

"Henry, get Rika out of here! Now!"
