The Challenge of Love

Title: In the Maze…

By: The Future Queen



"So much for staying together huh Henry?" said Terriermon as he turned to Henry. The only problem with that is Henry is not there, but someone else, the Digimon Queen. Rika was lying on the ground, obviously unconscious at the moment.

"Miss Digimon Queen!!! Wake up!" said Terriermon. Rika didn't move, so he decided to try something else, "If you don't wake up now, Miss Grumpy I'm going to---"

Rika woke up just in time to hear the last part, she stood up, dusted herself and threatened, "What were you going to do?"

"NOTHING!!!" Terriermon said like a soldier reporting to the general.

"Okay, we got separated because of this stupid maze. Now I'm stuck with the puny rabbit, as if my day isn't getting any worse." Rika muttered.

"HEY!! Who are you calling a puny rabbit?!!" Terriermon argued.

"You! Who else?" Rika shot back.

"Mmme, snack time…" said another voice. Rika and Terriermon turned to the source of the voice and gasped. It was Dokugumon, or DarkDokugumon to be exact. It smirked a little and laughed a gooey web at them. Rika and Terriermon dodge the attack and began to run.

"Now I know why I don't like web sites!!!" said Terriermon while running.

"Oh just be quiet and keep running!" said Rika.

"You can't get away!" said DarkDokugumon as he chased Rika and Terriermon.



In the Control Room



"HAHAHAHAHA!!! This is so fun!" said the dark voice.

"Yes, it's very entertaining…" 'Renamon' commented.



To Lover boy (Takato)



"Your highness…wake up!"

Takato slowly opened his eyes, and saw a blurry face of BlackWargreymon. He blinked a few times before his eyes are working normally again. He got up and looked at BlackWargreymon, "Where's the others?"

"They are separated from us, remember?" said BlackWargreymon.

Takato recalled his memory, he remembered the maze changing and separating him from Rika. He slightly shook his head and said, "Well, let's go and find the others." Then he walked straight.

BlackWargreymon sighed before following Takato. Takato looked around, the maze is like 10 foot high it's impossible to see the others, he'll just have to follow his heart and find the others. Then an idea flicked in his head, he stopped. BlackWargreymon stopped waiting for orders. Takato turned around and said something quietly to his guardian, BlackWargreymon smiled at the idea and nodded. But before they could even move, the ground started shaking. Takato almost fell down, luckily BlackWargreymon caught him.

"What's going on?" Takato asked. Then the answer came, a BlackVegiemon about the size of an elephant bounced in view.

"Does that answer your question?" BlackWargreymon replied.

"YES!!! Runnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Takato screamed as he started run as fast as he can.

BlackWargreymon launched a Terra Destroyer to BlackVegiemon then raced after Takato.



Control Room



"This is great!!!" said the dark voice.

"Yes, then I can finally transform…" said 'Renamon'.



To the Brainiac (Henry)



"Guilmon! Wake up!!!" said Henry.

"Huh? Is it time to eat?" said Guilmon, finally opened his eyes.

"No it's not! And we've got big trouble!" said Henry.

"Huh?" then he sensed it, a digimon…… right above them. Looking up, he saw a DarkFlymon. But Guilmon just sat there, unsure of what to do.

"Guilmon don't just sit there, we have to get out of here!" Henry urged while pulling Guilmon up and dragged him to run.

"Why are we running and where's Takatomon?" Guilmon asked innocently.

"We are running because the Darkflymon is attacking us, and I have no idea where Takato is. Now just keep running!" Henry said it very fast.

"Huh? Guilmon's still confused…" said Guilmon as he struggle to keep up with Henry.



Control Room



The bad guys are laughing, laughing and laughing…



Back to the Digimon Queen



"I…can't…run…any…more…" Terriermon panted as he and Rika stop to rest.

Rika looked back, they had lost DarkDokugumon, at least for now. 'I've got to find the others, especially Takato…' she thought.

Terriermon was thinking, he has to find Henry in order to digivolve and fight that DarkDokugumon. But this maze is huge, who know when he can find Henry, then Rika's D-Ark caught his attention. 'Maybe I can contact Henry with the D-Ark, if I'm connected to him then he can see…That's it!' Terriermon thought excitedly.

"Hey Rika, I think I know how I can contact Henry!" said Terriermon.

"Like what little rabbit?" Rika asked, crossing her arm.

"Well, I'm connected to Henry right?" Terriermon asked, seeing Rika nodding a little he continued, "So, if I can signal him through his D-Ark he'll see exactly what I see, he can help me defeat DarkDakugumon and then find us."

Rika uncrossed her arm and stared at Terriermon.

'What are you looking at?"

"Never mind… for once you came up with a good idea." Rika said half teasing.

"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" said Terriermon.

Rika just chuckled a bit and then said, "Well, now Mr. Brainiac Rabbit, how are you going to signal brainiac?"

"I guess I have to get hurt, then Henry'll get hurt, then he'll know something's up with me." Terriermon said.

"Okay, if you say so…" Rika said evilly while advancing on Terriermon.

"What are you doing?" Terriermon asked while backing up.

"Hurt you like you said!" Rika answered as she punched Terriermon. (Ohhhh, that's gotta hurt! ^_^)

"Owww!!!"



To Henry



"I…think…we… lost… him…"Henry panted.

"I'm hungry." Guilmon said as he rubbed his tummy.

"Oh Guilmon!" Henry said. Then he felt a sudden pain in his stomach, "Owww!!!" he yelled while holding his stomach.

"What's wrong?" Guilmon asked.

"No…it's just… I think Terriermon's hurt…" said Henry, and then his D-Ark began to beep. He held the D-Ark in front of him and a screen came up show Rika's face.



Back to Rika



Terriermon was looking at Rika while hold on to his stomach, "Why did you do that for?"

"You said you have to get hurt, so…" Rika answered.

"Terriermon, are you okay?" a voice boomed. (Yes, Rika can hear it too.)

"Henry?" Terriermon asked uncertainly.

"Yeah it's me…" said Henry through his D-Ark.

"My idea worked!" said Terriermon.

"Yeah, for once." Rika muttered.

"What idea?" Henry asked. So Terriermon explained his idea about the connection to him. (I don't have to repeat it right?)

"Oh, I see. So you were being chased by DarkDokugomon?" said Henry.

"Yes!" Rika said almost yelling.

"Oh oh, I think he's here now!!!"

"Ready Terriermon?" Henry asked.

Terriermon got to his fighting position and answered, "Of course, any time, any where!!"



Henry



Henry got out a modify card and prepare to swipe, "Digi Modify!!! Digivolution Activate!"



Back to the 'Bunny'



"Terriermon Digivolve to………. Gargomon!"

"That feels much better! Now take this! Gargo Laser!!!" Gargomon shouted.

The attack hit DarkDokugumon right in the head and sends him backwards.

'The over-grown bunny's not bad…' Rika thought as she watched the battle.

"For the Dark Needle, Bunny Punnel!!!" Gargomon took a careful aim and the Dark Needle was deleted.

"Bull's eye!!!" Henry said.

Just then, Gargomon dedigivolved to Terriermon.

"What happened?" Henry asked.

"I don't know…" Terriermon answered.

"Okay, ju... stay…where…y…an… I…t…fi…" the connection was cut off.

"How did this happen?" Rika asked.

"Well, don't look at me I didn't do it! We'll just have to find a way out of here or find the others." Terriermon suggested.

Rika sighed, but listened to Terriermon. They set off for a different direction, trying their best to get out of here……



To Takato



Takato and BlackWargreymon are still running from the giant BlackVegiemon until Takato couldn't run anymore.

"Must…stop…c----"

"Look out!" BlackWargreymon used his shield to protect Takato. Takato was still trying to catch his breath when BlackVegiemon attacked.

"I'm not running anymore. Take this! TERRA DESTROYER!!!!" the attack hit BlackVegiemon and created a huge explosion. When the smoke had cleared, Vegiemon was lying on the ground unconscious.

"Wow that was quick! Thanks!" Takato commented, "Now we can find the others and get out of the maze!"

Takato and BlackWargreymon turned their heels and walked away…
