The Future Queen: Hiya!

Henry: Hi!

The Future Queen: First of all, I would like to say sorry.

Henry: For what?

The Future Queen: I didn't say everything very clearly last chapter. The characters you submitted last chapter is for my next story, or the one after next. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I need you to submit now because I need to work everything out. To make up for it, I decided that all of you who submitted will appear in my stories. Some will get small roles and some will get bigger roles. Just remember, all of you will be in it!

Henry: Now on to the fic!



The Challenge of Love

Title: Two vs. One

By: The Future Queen



"Are we still running?" Takato cried out.

"Yes!" Rika yelled back.

"I can't take it anymore!" Terriermon shouted as he came to a stop. The others stopped with him, panting.

"I guess we are gonna get trampled!"

Takato looked over at Rika, 'She's tired, I can tell even if she tries to hide it.' Takato looked back to see MetalGreymon and SkullGreymon gaining on them, 'I can't run away any more, so…"

"Guilmon! It's time to fight!"

"But---"

Guilmon's innocent eyes suddenly turned into a pair of ferocious eyes. He growled as Takato swiped the card that had started it all through his D- Ark.

"Digi Modify! Matrix Digivolution Activate!!!"



"Guilmon Matrix Digivolve to ………… WarGrowlmon!!!"

WarGrowlmon stepped in front of the tamers as MetalGreymon and SkullGreymon getting closer.

"Takato stop this! WarGrowlmon can't possibly take on MetalGreymon AND SkullGreymon!" Rika argued.

Takato looked deeply into Rika's violet eyes, in a serious tune Takato said, "Rika, I can't run away from this any more. If we keep running, they'll just keep chasing us no matter what. I have to do this to prove to myself, even if it means I have to biomerge to mega in order to defeat them. I have to protect you, Rika. You understand right?"

Rika was shocked of how serious Takato was, but she nodded her head.

Takato was about to turn his attention back to WarGrowlmon when Rika asked him one more thing.

"I understand, Takato. Just promise me you'll be okay, and whatever happens I'm always here behind you!"

Takato smiled, he leaned forward and kissed Rika. The kiss was full of passion and love that it last for at least a minute. The couple broke up breathing heavily, "I promise you Rika." (Sorry if I stole your idea DC! I'm giving you full credit!)

As Takato said that, a brilliant flash of light appeared revealing the crest of Courage and Friendship. The two crest combined together and merged with Takato's D-Ark. When the light faded, Takato was holding a Golden D- Ark with the crest of Emotion bearing on top.

Both Rika and Takato smiled. A smile that is truly innocent, sweet, and confident.

With his new D-Ark, Takato turned towards WarGrowlmon who was fighting furiously with MetalGreymon and SkullGreymon. From the look of it, WarGrowlmon is loosing badly.

"WarGrowlmon!" Takato shouted, "Are you ready?"

WarGrowlmon glowed in gold as he answered, "Ready when you are Takatomon!!!"

Takato held up his D-Ark as he chanted, "With the confidence I have, and faith in my partner! I call upon the power of EMOTION!!!"

WarGrowlmon was suddenly healed and powered up. He was ready to face this battle, again.

"You've been very bad Digimon, chasing us around. Now you will pay! ATOMIC..."

"…BLASTER!!!" Takato screamed, finish off WarGrowlmon's ultimate attack. The powerful attack struck SkullGreymon, deleting him instantly. But MetalGreymon somehow survived it.

"Wow, talk about survivor!" said a certain rabbit.

"Oh be quiet!" said Rika effortlessly.

"Finish him off!" Takato shouted.

"Righty!" WarGrowlmon answered, "Atomic Blaster!!!"

"Giga Blaster!!" MetalGreymon countered. But WarGrowlmon's attack was so powerful, it deleted the counter attack as well as MetalGreymon.

WarGrowlmon de-digivolved to Guilmon and ran happily towards Takato, "Yah! We did it!"

"Yep!" said Takato as he hugged his partner.

"That was great Takato!"

"Of course! What did you expect from your boy-friend!" Terriermon piped up.

"That's it! You are so going to get it!" Rika threatened, advancing on Terriermon.

"Um, guys? What happened to those data?" Takato asked. Rika and Terriermon froze and turned to Takato.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, Guimon didn't download it and I didn't see it!" Takato replied.

"There it is! It's flying away!" Terriermon said, jumping up and down. The others turned to look, indeed the data were flying away.

"Let's follow it! Maybe it can lead us out this stupid maze!" said Takato as he started chasing after the data.

"Finally a good plan!" said Rika as she and the digimons raced after Takato.



To the Fight

"What's wrong, BlackWargreymon? Can't fight me?" said Paildramon nastily while looking at BlackWargreymon, who was kneeling down on the ground taking deep breaths.

"Come on BlackWargreymon! You can do it!" Henry cheered. (Unlike him, I know.)

"I won't let you win, Paildramon." BlackWargreymon said as he stood up, ready to fight.

"I don't think so, because my enforcement just arrived." Paildramon said smirking.

As if on cue, the data from MetalGreymon and SkullGreymon floated towards Paildramon.

"There it is!"

Henry turned to the source of the voice and found Takato, Rika, Guilmon, and…

"Terriermon!" Henry said happily, running towards his partner.

"Henry!"

"We finally found you!" Takato said, happy to see his friend.

"Reunion time's over! Desperado Blaster!"

The tamers closed their eyes, cause they know there's no way they can run away now. But amazingly the attack didn't come.

"Huh?" the tamers opened their eyes to see BlackWargreymon using his shield to protect them.

"BlackWargreymon!" Takato said worriedly.

"Don't worry my Prince, I'll protect you! TERRA DESTROYER!!!" BlackWargreymon launched his attack straight at Paildramon, which created a huge amount of smoke.

*cough*

*cough*

*cough*

*cough*

When the smoke cleared, Paildramon was seen standing there without a scratch.

"How did he do that?" Takato asked.

"I don't know." Henry replied.

"Einstein doesn't know an answer, sky must be falling down!" said Rika, voice full of sarcasm. Henry flushed.

"That's not all I can do." Paildramon said, "Watch this…" he downloaded the dark data that was floating around him, and he changed.

"Paildramon Digivolve to………. Imperialdramon!"

The tamers awed as Imperialdramon landed in front of them, "This is amazing!"

"Yes. What a show, but I'm not scared!" BlackWargreymon declared.

"We'll just see about that! Po---" Takato interrupted before Imperialdramon could finish.

"You won't destroy us! I won't let you!" Takato yelled angrily.

"I won't let you either!" Henry stepped up. The two tamers exchanged glance and shouted together, "YOU WON'T WIN!!!"

"Takato! Henry! What are you doing?"

"We are going to fight Imperialdramon, Rika. BlackWargreymon protect Rika, no buts!" Takato ordered like never before.

"I won't win? We'll just see about that!"

"Biomerge Activate!" Henry and Takato chorused.

"Guilmon Biomege to……… GALLANTMON!"

"Terriermon Biomerge to ……… MEGAGARGOMON!"

The two mega Digimon stepped up, facing Imperialdramon.

"Now we are ready…" Gallantmon said.

"…to fight 'till the finish!" MegaGargomon concluded.

"You are the ones who are finished! Positron Laser!!!"

"Mega Barrage!!!"

"Lighting Joust!!"

Three attacks collided, creating a huge explosion. Through the smoke, Rika could see the three powerful mega Digimon fighting viciously. But there's no telling whose winning. Clutching her D-Ark tightly she thought, 'You guys can do it! Takato, please be careful, remember you promised me…'

As if he can hear Rika's thoughts, Takato thought back, 'don't worry Rika, I remember.'

'Huh? Was that Takato?' Rika wondered.

'Rika?' Takato asked in his thought.

'We can hear each other think?'

'I think so, but how did this happen?'

'Don't know, I'll ask Henry after thi---'

"Owwwwwwwww!" Takato screamed. While he was in his thoughts talking to Rika, Imperialdramon had hit him.

"Goggle Head! Are you okay?" Rika shouted as the smoke finally cleared.

Instead of answering, Gallantmon launched his attack at Imaperialdramon, "Take that! LIGHTING JOUST!!!"

The attack hit Imperialdramon, making a few damages.

"Nice shot Takato!" Henry complimented through MegaGargomon.

"Thanks Henry!"

"This is no time to chitchat! Look out!" BlackWargreymon warned.

Gallantmon and MegaGargomon turned just in time to see a Positron Laser was being aimed at them. They quickly flew, barely missed the attack. BlackWargreymon took Rika and flew up to avoid the powerful attack.

"Lucky." Imperialdramon muttered.

"That's right! Mega Barrage!" hundreds of bullets headed straight at Imperaildramon, who immediately took flight.

"Grrr." Imperialdramon growled. Then he suddenly looked at Rika, who was being dropped back to the ground by BlackWargreymon. He smirked (although you can't see it), "If I can't destroy you, then I'll destroy the redhead! Positron Laser!"

Rika was shocked, she just stood there unable to get out of the way. BlackWargreymon, who was still weak from the fight, was unable to block it.

"NO! RIKA!!!" Takato yelled, rushing towards Rika. But he was too far away.

As if the attack was played in slow motion, it took a while before it reach Rika. Just before it hit, a red blur passed by and took Rika to safety.

Beside MegaGargomon, who is still confused, stood Gallantmon Crimson Mode carrying Rika.

"Huh? What? How?"



Let's Replay



"NO! RIKA!!!" Takato yelled, rushing towards Rika. But he was too far away. Gallantmon flied (remember they are in the air) as fast as he can, but they are just too far away.

"No! Rika!" Takato thought. Then Gallantmon glowed…

Mode Change Digivolution

"Gallantmon Mode Change to……… Crimson Mode!"

Gallantmon Crimson Mode flew at the speed of light towards Rika and pulled her out of there just in time.



Back to the Battle



Rika looked up, seeing Gallantmon Crimson Mode carrying her. She blushed a little and said, "Thanks Takato!"

"It's my duty!" Gallantmon answer as he landed back on the ground, putting Rika down. Then he turned and faced Imperialdramon, "Imperialdramon! It's time to pay for what you've done!"

"No I don't think so!" Imperialdramon answered as he glowed dark red.

Mode Change Digivolution

"Imperialdramon Mode Change to……… Paladin Mode!"

"No way he could do that!" said Henry, stunned by what just happened.

"I'm not afraid!" Gallantmon declared.

"Then take your best shot!"

"I SWEAR I WILL TAKE YOU DOWNNNNNNNNNNN!" Gallantmon Crimson Mode screamed while charging at Imperialdramon Paladin Mode.

"NO WAYYYYYYYY!" Imperialdramon shouted as he charged at Gallantmon.

"We are counting on you Takato!" Rika and Henry thought while watching the two powerful mega digimon charged at each other.



In the Control Room



"This is getting good!" 'Renamon' complimented while watching the big screen.

"I agree…" said the dark voice.

Henry: (eyes widen) You are going to leave us hanging like that?

The Future Queen: Well, I have no other choice.

Both: Wait till the next time on Digimon: The Challenge of Love!!!
