Forever Yours
Intro: Here's the 3rd Chapter! I think I might have around 5 chapters, but I dunno. Anyway, most of the Rukato is in the next chapter but you will see traces here. R+R and Rukato forever! Oh yes, I'll refer to Rika as the demon because the demon (or whatever you want to call it) is inside her.
Chapter 3
Henry raced toward the building, watching Takato. Takato's face was full of determination, and he had his goggles back, and the two D-arcs in his hand. Guilmon was bounding happily behind them, he was so happy Takato was feeling better. Terriermon clung to Henry's shoulder, watching with interest.
They found the old abandoned building. They stood in front of it when Takato's D-arc fizzled. "Hey Tamers!!" cried Gatomon's voice. "I managed to get to the Temple of Rebirth. An old friend will be there shortly. I'll be there too, don't fight without us!" The thing clicked and Gatomon disappeared. Henry smiled. "Easier said than done eh?"
"Look up there!" cried Terriermon, pointing to the top of the building. There was an orb, a really big, light blue orb, swirling in its on rotation but staying in one place. It hung above the building and it had violet diamonds circling it in an eclipse pattern. "Is that what we have to destroy?" asked Takato.
"I don't know but we have company!" cried Henry. Something shot out of the orb and landed in front of them. It stood, and they could see it was Rika. "Rika!" cried Takato.
Rika shook her head, the weird smile on her face from before. Her eyes were still gaunt, but her arms had returned to normal. "You are in for a treat," said the demon from inside her, eyes glinting. "We'll soon have all the ingredients for our revival."
"Revival?" asked Henry.
Takato...
Takato blinked and saw that the demon was holding its head in agony. Takato...
"Rika!" he cried. Henry gave him a quizzical look. "What?"
"I heard her!" he cried. "She's in there!" He pointed to the bubble. "She needs help!"
Takato swiped a matrix digivolution card and WarGrowlmon stood before him. Henry did the same and Rapidmon held up his guns. "Give her up..." said Takato.
The demon Rika sneered. "Foolish human...if you cut me it is she that dies!"
Takato's eyes widened. "No..." He paused. "Why..."
"I found her in a state of sadness and remorse," said the demon. "She was perfect. I could feed off her power and because she was so weak she gave in easily..."
'That can't be...' he thought. 'She's been sleeping...I've got to wake her up...but...how?'
"RIKA!!" Takato screamed.
* * * * Rika drifted in silence within the bubble that surrounded her. It was the same blue bubble she was in for bio merging yet this time, she felt weaker. She was sleeping in her own bubble, wishing none of this had ever happened.
"RIKA!!!"
Rika shook. 'Who is that calling? Is that...'
"Rika! Wake up!"
She slowly opened her eyes. "Ta...ka...to?"
"Rika! I'm coming! I promise!!"
She smiled slightly, her eyes still only half opened. "Takato..." She tried to move, but it hurt her to move in any way. "Takato...I'm so weak..." She hated to say that.
"Rika! Don't give up the fight! Please...don't give up..."
"It hurts..." she sighed, wishing the pain would go away. She began to drift back off to sleep.
"No! Rika! Don't give in! Please...no...Rika..."
All of a sudden a teardrop landed on her bubble. Her eyes fluttered open and she watched it fall into the space below her. Then a screen fizzled in front of her and she could see him...Takato...he had tears in his eyes. She smiled. "Takato."
"Rika," he said gently. "Please don't give up, you're the only one that can fight this thing...please."
Rika tried to move, she wanted to help, but it hurt. She winced. Takato saw her pain, he wanted to be right there with her. "Come on, you can do it, we've never given up before...I never gave up on you..."
Rika's eyes shimmered and a tear streaked down her cheek. She reached out to touch the bubble, it didn't hurt anymore. "Oh Takato..."
"You can fight this thing," he said. "I know you can, I'll be helping you ok?"
Rika smiled. "GoggleHead..." She nodded. "I'll do my best."
"That's the Rika I know and love!" laughed Takato. "Your D-arc only has limited power, so I have to leave, but I promise I'll get you out of this."
"Takato," she said happily, and he smiled. The thing shut off with a click. She smiled, and then turned to her bubble, eyes narrowed.
"You want to fight you stupid thing? Let me out!!" she cried, punching the bubble with all her might. The whole thing shook, and a crack formed. Rika continued to punch. "Let...me...go!!!" She cried with each punch. She had managed to make a deep crack when something materialized behind her. She whirled around to see a red glob in the shape of a human. It had gaunt eyes and a mouth, but those were its only facial features. It cocked its head and flew at her. She kicked it and slammed it against the wall, where it moaned and disappeared. She rubbed her knuckles, muttering. "Stupid thing..." She turned to the side of her bubble and continued to fight it.
* * * *
"What the?" cried Henry, watching the demon Rika writhe in pain. The bluish bubble was beginning to crack. Takato smiled. "Yea Rika!"
"Rika's doing this?" said Henry. Takato grinned and nodded. Something flew overhead. "What is that?"
Takato squinted, then his eyes widened. "Oh no..."
A crow flew past, holding a limp and beaten BlackGatomon. The crow dropped him and Henry caught him. "What happened?" said Takato, running up to Henry.
"BlackGatomon," said Henry. BlackGatomon winced and opened his eyes. He reached up to Takato. "Takato...warn...Gatomon..."
"What? Why?" asked Takato.
"If she comes here then all is lost..." he said weakly.
"What is going on?" asked Henry. "How did you get back? I thought you died in the blast..."
"Give me her D-arc and I will tell you," said BlackGatomon. Takato handed him her D-arc, and the moment it touched his paw, he was fully healed. "Yes...just as I suspected, the power is still in her D-arc..."
"Tell us," said Henry.
"I teleported back to the Digital World right after I set the bomb," said BlackGatomon. "That was the plan."
"What plan?" asked Takato.
"Do you remember the last time we met?" asked BlackGatomon. They nodded. "Well, I was sent by my Mistress, Ophanimon, to help you and Rika realize your feelings for one another, which was accomplished, but there was a slight problem.
Before Ophanimon sent me Kerpymon, Guardian of Wisdom, warned her that a life was at stake. She did not heed his warning and sent me anyway."
"But why did Rika die?" Takato asked, tears coming back into his eyes.
"When I scanned the DNA Digivolution card, we had forgotten that a piece of data from the digimon who is being created stays with the D-arc. Bastemon is a virus, so the virus data stayed in Rika's D-arc, and managed to take over her body. It grew, feeding off her energy and sorrow of losing you...and she died in the blast. However, the shocked Ophanimon realized her mistake and took her to her lair, reviving her, but she could not remove the virus."
"So you're saying," said Henry. "That the virus is growing, and it wants to take over the world?"
"No..." said BlackGatomon. "It wants to reawaken Bastemon...and by creating its own minions, and capturing me and Gatomon, it can morph our DNA together to recreate Bastemon, for the virus is actually Bastemon's spirit..."
Takato stared in shock. This was all a mistake made by a Guardian? This was all a mistake... And now, Rika's life was at stake...
"I'm sorry I had to break it to you," said BlakGatomon. "But there is no way to stop it if it gets Gatomon."
"I have a question," said Henry. "Where does Labramon fit in this?"
"He was sent by Kerpymon to take Gatomon back to Ophanimon to stop the mess before it happened," said BlackGatomon. "That is why I despised him so, he wanted to ruin the plans of my Mistress."
"No..." Takato said softly. He called Gatomon via D-arc. "Gatomon!"
"Hello Takato," said Gatomon. "What's going on? BlackGatomon! You're alive!!!"
"Yes," said BlackGatomon. "Listen my sister, you must not come here...if they catch us both we're all doomed."
Henry and Takato looked from Gatomon's face on the D-arc screen to BlackGatomon. "You guys are...siblings?" BlackGatomon nodded.
"But BlackGatomon!" she cried. BlackGatomon narrowed his eyes and Gatomon's face fell. "Alright...I won't-
She was cut off by her own scream as something came upon her. They heard another scream and a click, and then she was gone. BlackGatomon's eyes widened. "No!"
"They got her," said Henry. "This just keeps getting weirder by the minute..."
* * * *
"Almost there," said Rika, panting as she tried furiously to break the bubble around her. Her hands were bleeding from hitting so much, but the crack she had made had spread all around, and one more hit would break it. She was about to throw her kick when the bubble began to repair itself. "No way..."
She watched in horror as the deep cracks disappeared. She sighed and lay down in her bubble, breathing heavily. She moaned and dug her nails into the bubble as the spirit inside her kept trying to take over. 'Leave me alone!' she cried in her head. She held her head in her hands and screamed in pain.
'Go back to...sleep,' said a soft voice. It was followed by a pair of violet eyes, and then Bastemon materialized in front of her. 'You and I are one in the same...'
'That's not true!' Rika cried. They were drifting in space. 'Takato...'
'You miss your sweet GoggleHead?' asked Bastemon.
Tears welled in Rika's eyes. 'Y-Yes...and it's because of you that he and I were separated in the first place...'
Bastemon softened. 'Oh...' It looked at her. 'I can bring him back...if you give me the rest of your energy...I could become powerful enough to help even you...'
Rika looked up at it with hopeful eyes. 'You...could?'
'It would be my thanks for your wonderful hosting...' it said. 'All I need are the two ingredients, which I have, combined with your energy, and you could be back with him...'
'What do I have to do?' she asked.
'All you have to do is to take my hand...' said Bastemon, reaching out. Rika hesitated, and then reached toward her slowly. Bastemon watched her happily. 'That's it...'
Rika's hand was almost in its when...
"Rika don't do it!!!" came a cry, and a purple paw slapped her hand away. Rika blinked and Bastemon cried in agony. Rika awoke and found she was lying on the floor of her bubble, and before her stood...Renamon!
"Renamon!!" she cried, jumping up and hugging her digimon. "Oh Renamon..."
"Rika," said Renamon. "I am so glad you're safe..." Rika grew limp all of a sudden. "Rika?!"
"Renamon," said Rika, wincing. "Break the bubble, then I'll be free, Bastemon is trying to take over what is left of my soul..."
Renamon nodded and began to thrust with all her might at the bubble. After a few hits the whole bubble was cracked and ready to burst. "Diamond Storm!!!" screamed Renamon, releasing he attack. The bubble burst, and they heard something scream. Renamon turned around and Rika slipped and fell, but it was not her that had screamed in pain...it was Bastemon. "Rika! No!!!" cried Renamon.
