Forever Yours
Intro: Ok, the end of this story doesn't have a really big Rukato ending like the prequel. It's got Rukato though. Sorry for the delay I was too busy working on another Rukato story!
Rika: Figures... and you left them all dangling at the last cliffhanger...
Whoops...-_-;;; Anyway, R+R and enjoy, this is the second to last chapter.
Chapter 4
The gigantic bubble with the diamonds on it suddenly burst. A section of it was blown to pieces and something fell out of it. Takato and Henry heard an earsplitting scream from a high, scratchy voice and Takato squinted to see what had fallen out.
"What was that?" cried Henry. BlackGatomon looked happily at them. "Your friend and her digimon have made it out of the core. That was Bastemon screaming...the spell is broken, your friend is free."
Rika's spirit had fallen out of the bubble, and the facial features of the Rika in front of them disappeared and returned to the spirit. The demon screamed and retreated to the broken bubble.
Takato wasn't listening to BlackGatomon, he had already figured out who had fallen out. "Rika!!" He ran over, hoping to catch her in time. Her body had been restored to her, so she was solid and alive. She was unconscious though as she fell, and Renamon was trying to catch her. Takato ran faster. 'Almost there Rika, hang on...' he thought. He jumped a few feet away and reached out to catch her.
He caught her and landed, Renamon behind him. Renamon smiled. "Welcome back Gogglehead," she said smiling.
"Glad you could make it," said Takato. "Where did you come from anyway?"
"I was that 'friend' Gatomon mentioned earlier," she said. "I didn't want to miss the fight so I ran faster. I was the thing Gatomon had to go to the Temple of Rebirth for."
"Wow," said Takato. He looked down at Rika in his arms. He hugged her. "Rika..."
"Takato..." said Rika softly. Her eyes fluttered opened and she smiled weakly. "You don't know...how much I missed you..."
"Rika," said Takato softly, eyes dancing. "I missed you too, so much that I started acting like you." They laughed and hugged each other, tears dribbling down Takato's cheeks. They let go a little and she smiled. "See? I told you I'd come back..."
Takato laughed softly. "I never doubted you..."
"I hate to break up your reunion but," said Henry. "We have company!"
"Gatomon!" cried BlackGatomon. "Don't give up!"
Gatomon was in another crow's arms, wrenching to get free. "BlackGatomon help me!!" cried Gatomon.
BlackGatomon jumped and performed a Cat Punch, swiping the crow away. Henry ran over and caught Gatomon. "Ok, now what do we do?"
"Get out of here sounds good," said Terriermon. The Tamers nodded and began to run, when Takato realized Rika wasn't with him. He turned around and saw her on the ground, the spirit of Bastemon slithering from the bubble toward her. "No! Rika!!!"
"Takato!! I can't move!" cried Rika. Renamon turned also and ran with Takato toward her. Takato was only a few feet away from her and the shadow was too. "RIKA!!!!!!!"
It was too late, he threw himself upon her just as the shadow took over her body again. Takato was bucked off and slammed into the ground as the giant light blue bubble repaired itself and the demon Rika raised. "Ahahahah! Pathetic human..."
"No!" cried Takato. Henry was still running, but tentacles spread out from Rika's body and grabbed Gatomon in one tentacle and BlackGatomon in the other. "Now I have the power and the ingredients! I can reunite in my body at last!!" cried the demon.
"Give them back!" cried Takato, launching himself on her back. He fought with the tentacles but was thrown over backward. "No...Rika..."
Henry ran back to Takato. "Takato no!"
Takato slammed into Henry and they were thrown against the wall. Henry winced. "This just gets worse..."
"No kidding," said Takato. He looked up to see the demon cackling evilly. "Aww, reunited again, brother and sister, lend me your power!"
"Never!" screamed BlackGatomon, wincing. "We will never give our power to you!"
"No?" asked Bastemon inside Rika's body. "Well then, looks like we'll have to use force!!!" Bastemon tightened its grip on the two. "Give it to me!!!"
"Don't do it!!" cried Henry.
"I can't stand much longer," said BlackGatomon. Then he screamed and grew limp, Gatomon doing the same.
Rika was back in her bubble. She opened her eyes. "No..." She got up and tried to fight it, but purple blobs were holding her down. "No! Takato!!!" She screamed and tried to wriggle free, but nothing worked. Bastemon materialized in front of her. "Tried to get away didn't you?"
"Leave me alone you baka!!" she cried. "Let me go!"
"Touchy," said Bastemon. "Now then, to gain complete control of you..." Her eyes glinted and she reached out toward Rika. Rika struggled, but she couldn't break free. "NO! I won't let you do this!! Let me go!!!" she screamed as Bastemon reached in her chest. Rika continued to scream in pain until Bastemon pulled out her soul, and she fell silent, breathing heavily, her eyes gaunt with the sign of near-death. Bastemon grinned. "Now for the final task..." She swallowed Rika's soul.
"RIKA!!!!!!" screamed Takato, knowing something terrible had happened to her.
There was an explosion, and Gatomon and BlackGatomon were thrown to the ground, both breathing heavily and unconscious. The dust cleared and Bastemon stood before them. Bastemon cackled. "I live!!"
"What happened?" cried Takato, running over to BlackGatomon. BlackGatomon sat up wearily. "Why did she turn into Bastemon?" cried Takato.
"Because," said BlackGatomon. "She stole Rika's life force, giving her enough power to suck our DNA Digivolution power...there is no hope for humanity unless you kill the host..."
"Kill the host?" asked Henry. He looked up at the bubble. "That must be it!!" He held up his D-arc and turned to Takato. "It's time to Bio-Merge!"
"Right," said Takato. "Bio-Merge Activate!" Takato and Guilmon morphed into Gallantmon and landed. MegaGargomon stood before them, smiling.
They turned and faced Bastemon, who stood before them, twice their size. "Takatomon?" asked Guilmon. "When did Bastemon get so big?"
"I have no idea," said Takato.
"I might," said Henry. "Look! The bubble's getting larger! Bastemon is gaining energy, and that might be why she's so big!"
"Ok," said Takato.
"Time to burst Bastemon's bubble!" giggled Terriermon.
"Terriermon..." sighed Henry, rolling his eyes and sweat dropping.
They flew up toward the bubble but Bastemon stood in their way. "Listen," said Henry. "Terriermon and I can battle Bastemon while you destroy the bubble alright?"
"Right," said Gallantmon (When I say Gallantmon that means that both Guilmon and Takato said the same thing at the same time, same goes for MegaGargomon).
MegaGargomon zoomed up and began to fly around to distract Bastemon. Bastemon swiped at MegaGargomon, but after a few minutes she got smarter. Bastemon's eyes narrowed. "Vampire Dance!"
"Giant Missile!" cried MegaGargomon. Both attacks slammed into each other and blew them both to the ground. "This is easier said than done..." said Henry.
"Somebody stop the room from spinning..." said Terriermon woozily.
Gallantmon flew toward the bubble. "Almost there..." said Takato. They were no more than a few yards away when Bastemon appeared in front of them. "What the??" cried Takato.
"Vampire Dance!" cried Bastemon. Apparently, the attack went in all directions, slicing a half off the bubble and at the same time blasting Gallantmon to the ground. Bastemon screamed in pain as the bubble slowly began to disintegrate from the blow.
"You haven't seen the last of me!" she screamed as her data began to pour out of her. "Vampire Dance!!" The attack blew off the last of the Tamers' power and they de-digivolved back to Guilmon and Terriermon. Henry and Takato lay on the rocks, alive but not unscathed. The bubble exploded into a million pieces and Bastemon's data was soon in little red flecks. But the data didn't divide up between them, it went to Rika's body.
"Oh no, not this again!" cried Henry. "We destroyed the host, that should've killed her."
"Maybe that wasn't the host..." said Takato, gravely. "That bubble was probably an energy source, not the host. Then that means..."
"You aren't serious," said Henry. "The host is Rika?"
BlackGatomon slowly got up with Gatomon. "Yes...Rika is the host...if you do not kill Bastemon now then it will revive itself... Rika was connected to both the bubble and her body, but now, because of Bastemon taking her soul, she is where ever Bastemon is..."
"But how do we kill Bastemon without killing Rika?" asked Takato. Henry sighed, tears in his eyes.
"I hate to say this but..." said Henry. "We're going to have to kill her to kill Bastemon."
Takato choked back tears. He was going to lose her again, and most likely this time forever. He sunk to his knees and began to cry. Henry came up. "I'm sorry Takato..."
Renamon choked back tears. Then she looked up and saw that Bastemon (in Rika's body) was running toward them, a knife in her hand. "Guys..."
"If I can't kill you little pests all at once," said Bastemon. "Then I'll kill you one at a time!"
Takato looked up at Bastemon and slowly rose to his feet. 'This, this is the only way...' he told himself sadly, running toward Bastemon, who was ready to strike him as he came up. "No Takato!" cried Henry, Terriermon, Guilmon, and Renamon at the same time. He caught Rika's arm (or Bastemon's) that held the knife and took it from her.
'Maybe this is our destiny,' he thought, as he leaned toward Rika's face. 'My Rika...'
He kissed her (not really her, but her lips) on the lips. 'I love you...'
He drew the knife and stabbed her in the chest, then flipped the knife over...and stabbed himself...
Takato...
End of Chapter 4
Oh...sad isn't it? Don't worry, the next chapter is the last, and there will be a happy ending! Heehee! Sorry for the cliffhanger...Rukato forever!
