The Future Queen: The next chapter of my series The Challenge of Love is here!

Henry: We know that, you don't have to announce it!

The Future Queen: Well I want to, got a problem with that!

Henry: (back off) No!

The Future Queen: Good. I don't own Digimon, so back off. I would like to thank the DigiDestined of Courage and Exoduss for telling me the main attack of… um…you know who…

Henry: You are not scared of LadyDevimon's name, are you? She is much less meaner than Lord Voldemort.

The Future Queen: No I'm not scared of her name, it's just that who ever said her name in the last two minutes is her main target.

Henry: WHAT! (Turns around, saw LadyDevimon, and start running in top speed)





The Challenge of Love

Title: An Allie, An Enemy

By: The Future Queen



"So am I…" said Ladydevimon smirking and she launched her first attack, "Darkness Wave!"

Gatomon narrowed her eyes, 'LadyDevimon's attack is much more powerful than usual.' She thought, 'Something's not right here…'

"Talisman Spell!" Taomon used her shield and it blocked LadyDevimon's attack easily.

Rika smirked at this, 'This over-grown bat wasn't so tough after all…' she thought, "a power boost should help Taomon.'

"That was supposed to scare us!" Rika yelled, "Then try this! Digi Modify! Power Activate!"

Taomon felt more strength growing inside of her, she was ready to take this over-grown bat down. "Talisman of LIGHT!" the attack headed straight to LadyDevimon in full force, but somehow LadyDevimon just waved her hand and the attack faded.

It was a surprise to everyone, especially Rika. 'How could she…' she thought.

LadyDevimon smirked, she now had those brats exactly where she wanted them. "That wasn't suppose to scare you, this is! DARKNESS WAVE!" the attack was more powerful than the last one and was headed straight for Taomon.

"Talisman Spell!" Taomon quickly put up her shield, but the attack was so powerful it broke the shield and hit Taomon. The attack sent Taomon flying back and de-digivolved to Renamon.

"RENAMON!!!" Rika screamed, running towards her partner.

Everyone stood there in shock. Gatomon stared LadyDevimon and thought, 'she shouldn't be able to do that unless someone was sending her power…That's it!' She looked around and saw nothing that could possibly be giving LadyDevimon her 'super' power. 'But there's got to be something or someone that's helping her!' Gatomon thought.

"Scared now?" LadyDevimon asked, crossing her arm.

Rika glared angrily at LadyDevimon. 'First she brainwashed Takato, then making him attack me. Now she's about to delete Renamon! I can't let her do this!' Rika thought. Then she turned around and glanced at Takato, who is still unconscious. 'Takato, I'm doing this for you. I'll always love you no matter what…' After this thought Rika stood up, her D-Ark was glowing brightly in her hand.

"LadyDevimon! I'm not scared of you, and if you want to take Takato away from me again you'll have to deal with this!" Rika held up her D-Ark and shouted, "DIOMERGE ACTIVATE!!!" Rika transformed into data and biomerged with Renamon.

"Renamon Biomerge to……… SAKUYAMON!!!"

The mega digimon stood proudly in front of the tamers. She turned and faced LadyDevimon, "LadyDevimon I can not allow you take Takato away from me! So prepare to meet your DOOM!!!" then she launched her first attack, "Spirit Strike!!!"



Takato's Dream



The laughter was getting worse. Takato is still trapped inside the Dark Ocean, crying for help. The waves were getting on him, but he doesn't have the energy to run for it. He can only cry and wait for his doom…

Takato's head shot up, someone was calling out to him and trying to tell him something. Takato looked around and saw no one, but he can still hear the faint sound of a woman. Listening closely, he could make out the words the woman was saying.

"Don't give up Takato! Don't give up! Fight the darkness inside of you! Don't give up!"

As if magic, all the momeries suddenly flowed through Takato's mind and told him his life story. Takato closed his eyes, slowly absorbing everything. He remembered why he was upset and how he got pull into the Dark Ocean. 'The voice is right, I can't give up even if Rika doesn't love me anymore…" The thought of Rika brought Takato back into depression, the cruel laughter roared again getting louder and louder. Takato held his head, trying to get the laughter out of his mind. But it was too strong for him, Takato screamed in pain as the laughter getting crueler and crueler.

"Someone…Rika… help … me…"



Back to the Battle



Three snake-like spirits flows towards LadyDevimon. LadyDevimon quickly countered it with Darkness Wave.

"Hmmm, not bad…" commented LadyDevimon, "Let's see how you handle this! Evil Wing!!!"

Sakuyamon jumped out of the way just in the nick of time. Then she charged incredibly fast towards LadyDevimon. LadyDevimon was caught off guard, the tackle hit her right in the chest. Sakuyamon landed safely on the ground, but LadyDevimon was sent flying back and hurt.

"That was a pay back for hurting Renamon!" said Sakuyamon, but very clearly in Rika's voice, "Now I want you to feel my LIGHT!!!" Sakuyamon waved her wand/staff around, and pink light and cherry blossom flied towards LadyDevimon, injure her even more. To every body's surprise, LadyDevimon just got up and smirked.

Rika was taken back. 'Hitting LadyDevimon so many times as a mega she would at least stop smirking, instead LadyDevimon was smirking like I was the one losing……" Rika thought as she stared at LadyDevimon through her sphere.

"Want to know why I'm smirking?" LadyDevimon said as if reading Rika's thoughts, "Because you hurt me more, you hurt him more! HAHAHAHA!!!"

Sakuyamon and everyone else just stood there, trying to figure out what she had meant. Behind them, a certain someone tossed and turned.

"Darkness Wave!!!" the attack hit Sakuyamon, damaging her badly that she de- digivolve to Rika and Renamon.

Then it hit Gatomon, she quickly yelled out, "Guys, LadyDevimon and Takato are somehow connected! When Takato is in pain or fear, LadyDevimon gets more power! When LadyDevimon is hurt, Takato gets hurt even more!!!"

Everyone turned and looked at Gatomon, blinking their eyes stupidly. Rika finally snapped out of it and ran towards Takato.

"Takato! Takato! Wake up!" but the informal leader is still in 'dreamland'.



Inside Takato's Dream



The waves are getting bigger, and the laughter is getting louder. One hope was still there, the mysterious voice. Only Takato can help himself now, or maybe his soul mate can too. But to Takato, all hopes are lost now, all washed away…

Then he heard it again, "Don't give up Takato! Don't give up!"

"But how can I get out here?" Takato sobbed out, "I can't do…it…alone…"

"You are never alone Takato!" said the mysterious voice.

Takato looked up, thinking about the last statement. Then he heard it, the thought of Rika before she biomerged. 'Takato, I'm doing this for you. I'll always love you no matter what…' Takato was shocked. He thought Rika doesn't love him anymore, but it was one of LadyDevimon's illusions.

Takato stood up, heart filled with hope and love. Then a data stream appeared, taking Takato out of the Dark Ocean…



End of the Dream



"Goggle head! Wake up!"

"He won't wake up! He is under my control!" said LadyDevimon.

Taking one last look at Takato, Rika walked up and stood beside Renamon again. She took out her D-Ark and held it in front of her heart. Feel power of the crest flowing inside of her, Rika chanted, "Oh power from my heart, combined with determination. Help me now, and shine through night!"

The blue D-Ark shined brightly and a new power was found! Renamon now have the power of an ultimate digimon!

Renamon jumped up and said, "It's been a nice battle! Goodbye! DIAMOND STORM!!!"

Razor-sharp diamonds flies towards LadyDevimon in super speed. LadyDevimon had no time to run away, she was deleted instantly and Renamon downloaded her data.

Turning back to Takato, he was slowly waking up. Rika ran back and hugged Takato.

Takato finally opened his eyes and he nearly choked because Rika was hugging him so tightly.

"Rika…just…let…go…I…can't…breathe…" Takato choked out. Rika let go of Takato and Takato saw her eyes full of tears.

"Oh Takato, I thought I never see you again!" Rika sobbed.

Takato hugged her and whispered into her ear, "Don't give up hope and I'll always love you!"

Hearing this, Rika smiled and kissed her beloved on the cheek. Everyone was cheering.

"It's good to see you back, Goggle head!" Terriermon said imitating Rika.

Rika shot a glare at Terriermon and said, "I'm the only one here that can call Takato Goggle head, got it?"

"Yes ma'am!" said Terriermon with a solute. Everyone laughed, even Henry didn't bother to stop him. But no one notice a certain someone was having a bad time.

"Rika!" Renamon yelled. Rika turned to see her partner and nearly screamed. Renamon is turning black, and her eyes are switching from blue to red.

"Oh no!" BlackWargreymon said, "She downloaded LadyDevimon's data!"

"Is that a bad thing?" asked Ryo.

"Yes, because LadyDevimon's data are black! They are filled with evilness! Anyone who downloaded it is going to turn evil!" BlackWargreymon said, "I was like this, but luckily someone helped me but I'm stuck being black!"

Rika watched in horror as her partner turning evil. She was speechless.

"Come on Rika, we have to help Renamon!" Takato argued, but Rika wouldn't budge.

The data had completely gotten control of Renamon. She had turned black and white with blazing red eyes. She fired a Diamond Storm at the Tamers and ran towards the woods. The tamers dodged the attack and watched helplessly as another member of the team ran into the darkness…



At the Base



"Great job LadyDevimon!" said a dark voice.

"Thank you my love, now we can destroy those annoy brats once and for all!" said LadyDevimon, but through Renamon's mouth…
