Takato's Destiny

Chapter 13: The Rage of Rika Nonaka

----Rukato's Mind----

Rika, who kept on struggling, tried her very best to keep her data sphere in working function. "Rika!" yelled Takato, "I know it's hard for you, but you need to keep focus!" "I trying," Rika studdered, "But as long as Evil Rika keeps on doing this, our fused form will only be at half strength & my data sphere will keep disappearing!" "You mean.....?" "Yes! If my data sphere disappears, then the fusion will fade completely!" explained Rika.

----Battle----

Rukato charged at MetalControliamon full force & landed a fist on his face. But the fused Tamer was shocked to see that the metal beast didn't flinch after that attack & stuck it to Rukato with a right hand. But they started to fight back with a fist in the gut. MetalControliamon tried to fight back as well, but Rukato caught his fist, but MetalControliamon caught their own fist; it was a test of strength & Rukato wasn't doing so hot. (Ah man!) they thought, (My power is fading faster than before! If Rika doesn't cut it out, the fusion might...... *gasp*) Rukato had a strange thought in mind; then it hit'em. But before he could, Controliamon stuck took his the hand he used for grabbing & knocked sense into the Ultimate Tamer. Then gave another punch sending Rukato back towards the others, but not before giving Rukato a Power Surge in the back.

"Yo, Rukato!" yelled Kazu, "What's the matter?" "Yeah like you're getting a huge whoopin' out there!" said Terriermon. Rukato stood up & said, "It's Rika! She's doing this!" "Rika?!" shocked Henry. "Yeah, but it's not her fault!" "Why is that?" asked Jeri. "Remember what happened 5 months ago?" explained Rukato, "An evil incarnation started to control her when she was fighting Takato. Now it's happening again, but Rika's trying very hard to keep the fusion together while fighting." Everyone, including the digimon, gasped as Rukato continued. "But if she gives up, the fusion will split & her counterpart will take control of her again! All I can do now is hope that she hangs on~I believe in her...." (A/N: If ya'll didn't know, look at Ruki's Dark Nightmare for the answer!)

MetalControliamon started his attack again, but Rukato, still at half- strength, was ready this time even though they wasn't.

----Rukato's Mind----

Rika's data sphere was almost gone, but Rika herself, wasn't going to give up easily. Even Takato made sure of that. "Rika! You can't give up! I won't let you!" yelled Takato, "I know it's hard for you now, but don't ever forget that I'm here with you! You're not alone!" And with that, he gave her the power to withstand it more, but the evil inside her was too great. With all her might Rika stood up & yelled at the top of her voice. 5 minutes later, it was too much for her as she said, "Ta...Takato," Rika studdered, "I...tried my....best. I'm sorry......" Rika fell backwards, but Takato caught & found that she was unconcious & that her data sphere......was gone. Takato cried his heart out as he laid a kiss on her forehead. (Rika, I know you tried best. I'm sorry. But don't ever forget that I love you....)

----Battle----

Rukato was pummeled back down to the ground by MetalControliamon; this time Rukato didn't get back up. "It's over....Rika tried her best to get rid of Evil Rika, but it was too strong for her," The fused Tamer said loud enough for the others to hear, "Looks like the fusion will now end......" The other Tamers & their digimon gasped as Rukato began to blink as their power faded away. Renamon shed a tear of what happened to Rika. The others had sad impressions on their faces. But it couldn't be helped now as MetalControliamon walked closer to the soon unfused Rukato. But even though that the fusion was about to be over, Rukato stood back up & stood his ground.

Jeri knew that the fusion should of been over by now but something was wrong. "Guys! Rukato's still here! The fusion should of split!" informed Jeri. (Jeri's right!) thought Rukato, (What's keepin' me fused still?) Then Rukato gasped & figured it out. (Is Takato's love for Rika holding it?...........)



---Dream Sequence---

Rika walked across a dead & baron wasteland, filled with nothing but burning buildings, burning trees, & dead people everywhere. "Where am I?" she asked, "Am I home?" Among the dead were Kazu, Yamaki, Terriermon, Guilmon, Jeri, Henry, Renamon, including her parents. Her eyes shed tears as she saw her family & friends killed. But the most surprising shock of all was...... "Oh no!" Rika ran over to the dead, unmoving body. The body belonged to..........Takato Matsuki, The Digimon King!

"Takato....." Rika said quietly as she walked up closer, "It can't be! Gogglehead, please! You can't be dead!" Takato's dead body was something that Rika could never take her eyes off. "Oh gosh no! What happened to you Gogglehead?" Takato's body was battered, beaten, & bloody all over. He must of been in one horrific battle with Guilmon. "You were the only person that understood me. You wanted to be my friend, but I wouldn't let me, you saved my life went you defeated IceDevimon. And yet I never got the chance to tell you how I really felt......" Then walked up & put Takato's head onto her chest. Even though she was tough on the outside, her heart was crying on the inside, which made her transform into the Digimon Queen. But her crying turned into anger once again. "Who did this?" she asked. "Me!" yelled a voice.

Rika quickly turned around saw a Gemini twin that looked just like her. "Evil Rika!" she yelled out, "You did this to Takato?! I'll kill you for this!" "What makes you think I did this?!" said Evil Rika, "It was you, Rika!" "What do you mean me?!" Rika shouted, "You were the one who caused this destruction!" "No, Rika!" replied the Evil Carnation, "For the first time I am right. Years from now, this will be your future!" Rika was shocked to hear that, but came back to her calm cool-self. "No! You're wrong!" she yelled, "This will never be my future! You may look like me & tried to control me, but there is one thing that you'll never have...." Then Rika flashed her hand in front of her chest. ".....My Heart! The one thing that will always win against evil; the one thing that will bring my friends, family, & Takato together!" Then suddenly a bright light flashed before Evil Rika's eyes. "That light...." she began as she began blocking it, "I've seen it before.....ugh...." The light was too bright enough as Evil Rika began to disappear. "Don't think defeating me is gonna change anything! You can't run from it, Rika! This is your destiny & YOU KNOW IT, hahahahahahaha!" Rika had enough of her counterpart's mouth & blasted the rest of her body into dust. "Laugh at that, you sorry piece of crap!" she said quietly.

"Well done," said a another voice. Rika turned around to a white, transparent person. "If you're wondering who I am, I'm Rikaya, The White Warrior," she said. "You look just like me," informed Rika. "That's because I am you!" Rikaya said as Rika was shocked. "How'd I become the White Warrior?" Rika asked. "Before I was born, Evil Rika took over your body, destroyed the city, & ruled over what was left of the world!" Rikaya explained, "You were so evil that you even killed Renamon to prove that you were the best." Rika was so surprised at the explantion that she hid her eyes as Rikaya continued. "Takato tried to save you, but after a month he finally got killed. The Digimon Sovereign saw & heard everything, even about how your heart wasn't fully taken over by the evil. So they took your spirit out of you & transformed the spirit into Rikaya, The White Warrior." "Then Takato should of destroyed me in the first place," Rika said quietly as her tears came down.

Rikaya knew this & said, "No, Takato did the right thing by not destroying you." Rika looked up at her reincarnation. "Takato admit it to himself that he loved you!" "But what good will that do?" Rika asked, "I've fainted, my data sphere has disappeared, & the fusion will soon seize!" But the White Warrior smiled & laughed. "Wrong again! Takato is still holding the fusion together!" she said, "And at your current condition, you may be no help!" "What should I do?" asked Rika. "I'll give my power to you," informed Rikaya, "That way Rukato will get an awesome advantage! But once MetalControliamon is defeated my power, that I will give to you, will fade away." Then Rika wiped her eyes & stood tall before her reincarnation. "Alright, you ready?" asked Rikaya. The Digimon Queen nodded. Then the White Warrior powered up & gave up half of her energy. After the energy transfusion, Rika felt more powerful than ever! "Thank you," she said. "You better hurry," warned her reincarnation, "Takato can't hold the fusion for long."

----Rukato's Mind----

"C'mon Rika!" yelled Takato, "I can't keep this up anymore! And I can just feel that MetalControliamon walking even further towards us!"

---Battlefield---

"I'm had it with you," said MetalControliamon, "It's time to die!" "Well....I...guess this is......it," said Rukato, "It's.....finally.....over." Then MetalControliamon threw his right hand towards the fused Tamer to finish the job, but suddenly........Rukato automatically grabs the metal digimon's fist! "Huh?!" they both said. ( Did I do that?!) Rukato thought.

----Rukato's Mind----

"How did Rukato do that?!" Takato asked himself, "I didn't do a thing....." "You're always surprised aren't you, Gogglehead?" Takato turned around to see Rika standing in her own data sphere. "Rika!" shocked Takato, "But how?......" "Long story. Tell ya later," Rika said, "By the way.....thank you for being there for me." Then she kissed her gogglehead on the lips. Takato just blushed. "Now, let's get down to business!" she said. "TIME TO KICK SOME TAIL!" yelled Takato.

---Battlefield---

"I can feel Rika's strength again," informed Renamon. "Then that means..." said Henry. "Rukato's back at full power!" said Jeri. "Alright!" said Guilmon, Leomon Terriermon, & Gardromon. "Now that Rika's back, I'll have no trouble kicking your tail around the world!" yelled Rukato.

---Rukato's Mind---

"Ready to take our power to the max, Gogglehead?!" said Rika. "Whenever you're ready!" yelled Takato. Then they both yelled to put out more energy out for Rukato.

----Battlefield----

Rukato was surrounded by an emerald aura & powered up like never before. MetalControliamon just stood there shaking up. "But....but how?" he asked. "Arrr.....I'll never forget what you did to me!" said Rukato (In Rika's Voice!), "NOW YOU WILL KNOW THE HORROR, CONTROLIAMON!!!!!!" MetalControliamon just stood there, before the fused Tamer, frightened & figured he brought out more than just Rika's anger; he brought out her rage.......

(Narrator: Rukato's back in action! And this time the final battle may ugly! Now with the help of Rikaya's power, will they have the strength to put an end to the evil once & for all? Find out on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters!)
