Takato's Destiny

Controliamon Returns

Chapter 4: In The Air Tonight

----Dream Sequence----

Takato: It..it's you! The one from my dream!

Rika: Huh?

Takato:It's not every day you get to meet your "dream girl".

Rika: You mention that dream again, I'll send you to Dreamland for good!

Takato: Man, she can't take a joke!

Rika: Okay, I'm with ya!

Takato: This battle has only just begun!

Takato: Okay, go ahead & hit me.

Rika: Why?

Takato: Rika... (voice echoes)

----Dream Sequence----

"Takato!" yelled Rika as she woke up. Renamon appeared to see what was the matter. "Rika, are you okay?" she asked. Rika didn't answer; she only hid her eyes & shed tears. Renamon never saw her like this before. It was only 2:38 p.m. She only slept for 2 hours. Rika wiped her tears from her eyes & began to sit up. "You know what, Renamon?" she asked. "What?" Renamon asked. "They say if you feed a dog for three days, you might get use to 'em," Rika explained, "I've been fighting by Takato's side for at least a year & a half now. We defeated the Devas & took on one of the Digimon Sovereign. We even had the power to defeat the D-Reaper. Heck, Mine & Takato's power combine were able to defeat Controliamon." "Yes, That was quite a few accomplishments we made," informed Renamon, "Takato & Guilmon were pretty radical, too." "I guess I got use to being with him," said Rika starting to cry, "But I never thought of breakin' up with him could have this effect on me." Then her tears fell once again. "Why...why Renamon? Why did I have to break up? Why does this evil always haunt me?" And at last, with her heart's comtempt, Rika finally let go & let the tears fall freely. "Rika, it's all right," whispered Renamon as hugged her, "It's going to be okay." Unknown to herself, Renamon was also crying.

----Still In Shinjuku----

Takato, who is sitting under a tree, wasn't crying, but still hid his eyes. After being depressed for a few minutes, he decided to call the others by using his D-Power. "Guys, this is Takato," he called. "...bzzz... Takato, this is Henry," Henry called from his D-Power, "...What's the matter?" "Well Henry, Rika & I...." Takato was too upset to talk. "..bzzz...Did you tell her about your dream?" But without saying a word, Takato cut his communication with Henry, got up, & decided to leave Shinjuku.

----Back at Guilmon's place----

"Takato....Takato...Takato! Arrrgh, Darn it!" Henry yelled. "Henry what happened?" asked Terriermon. "Takato cut me off." Henry informed, "Something must of happened beteween him & Rika. Maybe I can help him." "Leave him alone, Henry," Kazu said softly, "He has to do this on his own." "Kazu's right. He can't rely on his friends all the time," informed Jeri, "This is a situation of romance. Takato must rely on his heart, this time." "Besides, if Takato really loves Rika, he'll find a way to get her back," said Guilmon.

----Back at Rika's house----

"Momma! Grandma! I'm going out of a while!" said Rika. When she reached the door, Renamon appeared behind her. 'Do you want to take your D- Power just in case you need my help?' she thought to her. 'No, Renamon. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me,' Rika thought back. Renamon disappeared after she understood she had to do this on her own.

As she closed the door behind her, Rika looked at the sky, thinking; Takato was thinking as well. As they were thinking, a mysterious song came in their heads:

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Hold on

I been waiting for this moment all my life

Hold on

Hold on

Well if you told me you were drowning

I would not lend a hand

I've seen your face before my friend

But I don't know if you know who I am

well I was there and I saw what you did

saw it with my own two eyes

so you can wipe off that grin

I know where you've been

It's all been a pack of lies

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Hold on

I've been waiting for this moment all my life

Hold on

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Hold on

I been waiting for this moment all my life

Hold on

Hold on

Well I remember

I remember

Don't worry

How could I ever forget

It was the first time

The last time we ever met

But I know the reason

Why you keep your silence up

No you don't fool me

Well the hurt doesn't show

And the pain still grows

It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

Hold on

I been waiting for this moment all my life

Hold on

I can feel it in the air tonight

Hold on

I've been waiting for this moment

For all my life

Hold on

(music begins to fade)

Hold on

Hold on

(music fades)

As the mysterious song ended, Rika came across Takato's school. Then she started to feel weird. "Wh..wh..what's happening to me?" she asked herself; she was getting very dizzy. Takato, on the other hand, found Rika by his school. "Huh?" he spoke, (What's Rika doing over here?) Just then, something started to appear right behind Rika.....A DIMENSIONAL GATEWAY! The gateway started to pull her in. "Rika!!!" yelled Takato as he ran towards her. But it was to late...Rika was already pulled in. Takato had only one thing to do.... go in after her! "Rika! Hang on! I'm coming!" Then Takato, himself, went inside the gateway. After that, it closed, leaving both Takato & Rika somewhere dangerous.....

(Narrator: Drama with a twisty ending! Now that the dimensional gateway has been closed, where will Takato & Rika end up? And are the other Tamers aware of what happened? Find out on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!)
