"I win again chummily!" Kazu said as he laid down a digimon card.
Kenta stared at his defeat, "Oh great, why do these things always happen to me?" he sunk his head low. It was the third time he had lost to Kazu since the time they had been there. All of a sudden, someone had spoke out loud to everyone.
"Where can that goggle head be anyway?" Rika shouted. In reality, the group had been waiting for Takato and Guilmon for quite some time. When speaking of the group, it had consisted of ten beings. There was Rika and her partner Renamon, Henry and his partner Terriermon, Jeri and her partner Leomon, the two non-tamers, Kenta and Kazu and finally there was Takato and Guilmon. Much has happened to the group every since they received their D- powers and became tamers. But most importantly their friend Calumon was captured by Makuramon the mysterious monkey Deva and was taken against his will to the digital world. For reasons why, were still unknown, but they group intended to find out what exactly they are. They had managed to find a portal to the digital world underneath Guilmon's hidden lair after their fight with Vikaralamon the ninth Deva. And so they wait for there final companions to join them.
Jeri got up from where she had sat down. She spoke, "Don't worry Rika, I think Takato has a good reason why he's so late."
"Well he better hurry, or were going to leave without him." Rika replied
After a few more moments had passed a voice started to call off in the distance, "Hey!"
Henry turned his head to see Takato and Guilmon rushing towards them. Rika muttered, "Finally," while Henry replied, "Takato! Where've you been?"
As he approached them he started to catch his breath while still talking, "Sorry I'm late you guys.I was just finishing.up something."
They had noticed that he had some sort of banner at his back. Rika replied, "Oh no, not this again." Takato explained, "You see theirs me, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Henry, Terriermon, Kenta, Kazu, and Calumon. I was putting on the finishing touches on it this morning."
"Ok, let's just get this journey moving along." Henry replied
Suddenly from behind a voice called out, "Hey!"
They all spun around as they saw a figure standing there before them. It was a man who wore a white un-pressed shirt and a pair of black sunglasses that covered eyes.
"What do you want?" Henry shouted as he had recognized him all too well.
Yamaki threw a black device to the kids. Henry managed to catch this as Yamaki started to explain, "It's a communicator. We'll be able to talk to you when you're in the digital world." It was a complete surprise to everyone, for it was the first time Yamaki was actually trying to help the tamers. He was no longer the person who despised digimon; he was now their friend. He removed his sunglasses revealing his eyes, "Good luck."
They thanked him as they started to head into the cave. They crawled within the dark and dirty hovel dug by Guilmon a while back. One by one the members of the group crawled through until they saw it. The ball of light and digital bits floating around, it was their one-way ticket to another dimension. They had to be brave to undertake the journeys ahead; it was no longer a game to them as a friend was at stake. This was really happening and they plan to charge into it, head long into the mystery of the digital world.
"Ok, here we go!" Takato replied
The bright lighting surrounded them as the blinding effect overtook them. They were being drawn to it as the powers caused them to enter. They were crossing dimensions, entering a place that not too many tread upon. Either then digimon, they question what else would they meet? What else was in stored for them as they continued to travel into the unknown? These questions of coarse could only be answered as time passes by. They were in some sort of inter-dimensional vortex as their bodies passed through it at great speeds. Some closed their eyes, not able to handle these settings as they passed through. Leomon and Renamon held tight to their partners as they we're frighten from the experience. Takato however kept his eyes open to feel and see the trip he was taking. Suddenly something caught the corner of his eye. He had imagined a shadow, speed on through to pass them. It was probably nothing, but Takato couldn't help but feel like it was a calling of something. Soon enough however, the end of the vortex had finally come.
The images now began to reform as the settings were now beginning focused. Takato gasped as he saw he was several feet in the air. He looked to the side to see his companions along with him. It was like he was falling from the sky and onto the brown lifeless ground.
"No way." Takato thought as they began to descend towards the floor. Suddenly Guilmon shouted, "Takato! The bread!!!" he looked over to see his backpack open and out flew all of the food they had packed for the trip. Guilmon tried to reach out for it, but it didn't do any good.
The thrill and fear had overcome all of them as well as the digimon. They just couldn't believe where they were and felt completely helpless. They were going to fall from the sky and probably die when they hit the floor. The digimon had nothing to protect their tamers. One by one they fell unconscious for various reasons. Some was from fear of altitude; some was for fear of falling from their position, but the rest was from fear of their lives and others. It seemed liked a lost cause for there chances of surviving when they hit the ground was very slim.
Back on the ground however, there stood a being leaning against a boulder. Squinting his eyes he saw the ten figures fall from the sky. A strong gust blew within the digital world as it ruffled through the being. A few digipackets flew on by as the being persisted to stare above. Continuing to just lean he put his hand into the satchel that was tied around his waist. Drawing out a small round and golden instrument outlined with silver. In the middle of it was a unique symbol impressed into it, also made with silver. He repositioned his fingers and triggered a small clasp on the side opening the covering to reveal what was inside.
"Right on time." the figure closed the pocket watch and placed it back in his satchel.
The wind blew once again, but when it had done the figure that once stood against a boulder was fading away. A blue aura surrounded him and slowly began to become transparent and finally vanished completely only leaving small traces of blue energy.
The whole group was unconscious except for Takato. However, he was barely hanging on to his senses as his eyes began to close. He wouldn't allow himself to be over powered by this, but it seemed he had no choice. He would also be a victim to this and all he did was now delaying it. He finally shut his eyes and gradually became unconscious. The moment he had done so the figure that was once on the ground reappeared before them. He fell just as they were, but of coarse no one had noticed him. He looked to side seeing Rika and Renamon completely inattentive. With his two hands he form two clear white crystals in either palm. With their tips pointing directly to Rika and Renamon he threw them at great speed and it hit them directly.
However the moment it had done so, they had been incased within a much larger crystal barrier that had some how been created. They were frozen within this barrier as they fell to the digital earth. The figure looked to another side seeing more of them falling. One by one the mysterious being entrapped them with a crystal barrier. Until finally, all that was left was Takato. He managed to approach young Takato and grabbed a hold of him. He looked down to see that they were close to the ground. While distracted for a little while Takato managed to slightly open his eyes.
He had almost become completely lifeless, but he managed to regain some of it. His vision was a little blurry, but he saw him. The mysterious being that was holding him. The figure looked to see Takato almost coming to when he placed his palm at his face. Just as he had done to all the others a clear white crystal appeared at his hand. Levitating towards him, the moment it had touched Takato he was frozen and held captive within a barricade of crystal. The figure then teleported once again and let the ten beings fall to the earth. The only difference now was that they were safe.
They hit the digital plain at great force creating small craters where they had landed. After time had passed by, the crystal coating that once shielded them melted away leaving no residue. However the group remained unconscious and rested upon the floor.
Time had moved along, as a few hours had passed. Takato slowly opened his eyes to see he was on the floor looking above at a monumental site. It was like nothing Takato had ever seen, as he sat back and continued to stare. He looked above to see a large blue sphere floating as digital rings circled it. He also noticed purple energy pillars coming from the orb and striking down on the ground. On the ground, the stream of data would move about the digital plain.
After Takato had enough site seeing he got up from where he laid. He had noticed that he was in a small crater. He questioned things; such as how had he been able to survive if he had really fallen from the sky. Not even a scratch on him, it was like nothing had touched him. He looked around seeing everyone else was ok and well. Noticing that Leomon was helping Jeri and Rika out of their resting places. Takato just couldn't explain it, but then an image came to him.
Takato began to recall the last memory that he could remember. He was falling and a strange being and saved them all. He began to think about it, could it be true? Perhaps he was just dreaming, but it would explain how they managed to get down here in one piece.
"Guilmon? Guilmon where are you?" Takato had finally questioned where his partner and friend was.
"(Whine) The bread is gone." Guilmon replied, as he was saddened from what had happened.
Takato comforted his friend as he finally got up and met with everyone. They looked around seeing their new surroundings. It was like nothing they had expected to see. Completely different from the real world as they were no buildings, no other signs of life, just a lifeless desert. The digimon had remembered it, all but Guilmon. The children of coarse had questioned many things. "What are those?" and "what do these things do?" questions.
The digimon easily answered their curious questions as they continued to observe everything. On the mean time Takato checked the communicator that Yamaki had given them. When he had done so, no response had come from it. Concluding that it might have been broken when they cross dimensions, Takato placed it back in his pocket and forgot about it for now. They planted their banner upon the ground and continued to look around.
Then one of them observed strange figures off in the distance. They had appeared to be buildings with satellite dishes on them. They asked the digimon what they were, but even they did not know what they were. After a small talk they decided to head towards it. As they were about to move on, something had bothered Takato. Something he couldn't explain very well, but it was sort of a calling. It was like the call he had received when he was crossing dimensions. He decided to ignore once again as the started to move. But it continued to pester Takato.
"Takato." a voice called. Takato turned his head to see that nothing was there. His sudden pause alarmed the rest.
"What's wrong Takato?" Henry asked
"Hmm? Oh I just thought I heard something." Takato said
"Takato." the voice beckoned again. Takato answered, "There! There it is again, can't you hear it?" Kazu walked over to him, "Dude, you feeling all right?"
"I think we should go over in this direction." Takato responded as he pointed to a direction. "What? Why?" Rika questioned, "We just decided to go over there. Why on earth would you want to head over in that direction Takato? I mean there's nothing over there."
Takato started to walk over towards it, "I don't know you guys, and I just think we should head over there. It's like something is calling to me and I just gotta see who it is." He now started to run towards it. Everyone was clueless to what was happening as Jeri shouted, "Takato! Wait!"
He did not wait however; he just continued to run in his general direction. No one could do anything about it and they couldn't just leave him, so they decided to follow him. Rushing to catch up with Takato they now headed in the direction he had chosen.
After some time had passed and Takato now just walked side by side the others. Seeing nothing too interesting except the usual lifeless desert. Everyone seemed a little on edge.
"Great choice Sherlock, I'm so glad we choose this direction instead the one we ALL decided to take. Oh, I forgot, who was the one who decided to take this way? Oh yes, it was Takato." Rika said
Takato was in no position to argue with her. He'd never really ever started a fight with her, besides of all the times when he insisted that digimon are living beings too, so he wouldn't want to start now. He just continued to ignore her and walk. However as the winds blew and small digipackets flew pass them, Takato started to doubt him self. Perhaps he WAS just imagining the voice.
"What have I gotten everyone into?" Takato thought.
Guilmon saw that Takato was trouble and so he started to walk a little faster until he caught up with him. "What's wrong Takato? You look so sad?"
"Oh it's nothing Guilmon. I was just thinking that this was all just one big mistake." Takato said
"I don't think it's a mistake Takato." Guilmon said as he made Takato feel better.
Takato turned his head, "So you heard the voice too?"
"Voice?" Guilmon responded, "What voice Takato?"
Takato sunk his head low as he lost all his confidence. "Maybe we should just turn around now," he thought. Kazu who had over heard Takato and Guilmon's conversation shouted, "So did that voice tell you where the nearest card shop is?" Kazu laugh at his own little joke.
Of coarse no one else laughed, as he remained there laughing in the silence of the group.
"I don't care! I know I heard it." Takato shouted.
"Calm down chummily, I was only kidding." Kazu replied back.
Jeri walked over to him and placed her hand at his shoulder. "Don't worry Takato, I believe you." Takato looked up to see Jeri comforting him.
"Thanks Jeri," Takato replied back.
Rika suddenly interrupted the two, "This is great and all, but are we going stand here all day or are we going to search for Calumon. I mean that is the main reason why we did come here."
"Rika's right, Takato. We have to stop fooling around and start searching the place." Henry replied
"Momantai, Henry, Momantai. We'll find Calumon" Terriermon said.
Suddenly a low rumble shook the ground they stood. All of them had felt it as they looked around to see what had made it. "What was that?" Kenta asked.
"I don't know, but I don't think I want to stick around to find out." Henry replied.
The rumble continued as the floor shook. They again, looked around seeing nothing, but their familiar settings they had observed earlier. However, the rumble continued until they had finally realized that the minor tremor they were experiencing was coming from below, directly below. The ground started to crack and shake as a large beast came from depths of the underground. They all stepped away in separate directions as they saw the beast emerge.
"Stand back Jeri!" Leomon shouted as he guarded Jeri as well as Kenta and Kazu.
"What is this?" Henry said as he held up his green D-Power. Within instants an image appeared out of his device showing a picture of the creature. "Drimogemon, champion level. His attacks are Iron Drill Spin and Crusher Bone."
"Me and Renamon can handle this." Rika shouted, "Renamon, walk all over him."
"It would be my pleasure Rika." Renamon responded.
Renamon leaped out towards the mole like digimon. Gracefully she jumped kicked him right at his face. Drimogemon's face swerved at the kick as Renamon backed flipped and landed back on the ground. Drimogemon now was pretty infuriated as he started to spin the drill on the tip of his head. He was preparing to attack her back. He left the safety of the hole he had dug and lunged for Renamon. Easily Renamon dodged the attack as she leaped backwards. Using her feet, she dug them into the ground giving her a good kick off and countered. She punched him again at his face causing him to swerve again from impact.
Takato shouted, "Rika! Use this card!" He then threw a modify card at Rika.
Catching the card that Takato had given she looked at it and decided to use it.
"Digi-Modify! Power activated!" Rika then slashed the card through her blue D-Power.
With the effects of the card in play, Renamon was now powered up giving her a boost to aid her in her following attack. She leaped into the air as she floated there as she crossed her arms. A glimmer of light appeared in front of her crossed arms as the light gathered into a ball. She then opened her arms as the ball of light shattered into sharp pieces levitating around her.
With a look in her eye she shouted, "DIAMOND STORM!"
The floating pieces around reigned down in a barrage of solid sharp light as they hit Drimogemon at full force. The pieces covered him as he took every hit and with the power boost she had received, the poor Drimogemon had been beaten.
He was lucky that the power had not deleted him, but merely knocked him out. He lay there, completely beaten down. Normally Rika would tell Renamon to finish him off and load it's data. However, Rika had a new understanding for digimon. She understood that they were living beings, not just packets of meaningless data.
"Nice job Renamon," Rika complemented her partner's victory. Renamon turned her back to fallen Drimogemon as she started to walk towards the others. She was the victor of this match as everyone was pretty much impressed with her talents.
Suddenly something happened, something that no one could have predicted as Guilmon's eyes turned solid yellow and started to growl. Takato was trouble by this; he knew that whenever he had done this something bad was about to happen. He turned and asked, "Guilmon, what's wrong."
He continued to growl as he muttered, "Something's coming."
"What? Something else is coming?" Takato replied
Guilmon was quite right, but he was unable to know what. He had sensed something, but wasn't too sure what it was. All he knew was that it could be something that could hurt Takato and everyone else. The voice that Takato had heard earlier had called again, "Takato." He was pretty shocked as looked around seeing nothing. "Who's saying that?!?" he shouted out loud.
"Hey you guys, was it just me or did you hear that too." Henry said.
"I don't believe it, Takato was right. Some one is calling him." Kazu said
Takato continued to look around seeing nothing out of the ordinary and Guilmon continue to growl. And then it happened, the event that they had been waiting for. A blue tare cut down in the middle of the digital plain. It was like the sky was being torn apart as small blue lighting struck from the tare. It started to be pulled apart as it grew and created a circular gate right before them. They were all in awe and confused from the site as something started to emerge from the blue portal.
They began to see a youth step out of the tare wearing quite a unique set of clothing. He wore loose black pants with brown metal-plated boots. He didn't wear a shirt, but he had an open white sleeveless robe that almost came down to his ankles. We had on black armbands and a long white bandana on his forehead, slightly long black hair and dark brown eyes. In hand was a gnarled brown staff with what it looks like a clock infixed at the tip. On his waist was a small brown bag tied around him. He then completely stepped out of the portal and look towards the group with a rather serious face.
The group still on their guard as they were prepared for anything that the mysterious being could throw at them. The portal was still opened as the being looked down upon him and waved his hand over Drimogemon. On instant, Drimogemon started to fade and disappear turning into a ball of light and then floated to the open portal and quickly, the portal closed.
They had a feeling of amazement and fear running throughout their bodies. They had witness this being do a mere hand gesture and the champion level digimon they had battled, disappeared right before their eyes. How could they defend themselves from some one with that type of power? The digimon put up their guards and placed the children behind them. They were ready to defend them at all cost from the wraith of the figure.
The being rested his staff at his right shoulder as he continued to stare at them with a serious face. He shifted his eyes from left to right, observing all the digimon and children before him. The wind blew once again as it made his bang go across his face. Unexpectedly the figure smiled at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were at ease as he replied, "Hey, how are all of you doing?"
It was a complete surprise as the figure continued to smile at them at a calm and collective way.
"What? Who is this guy?" was probably a question in everyone's mind.
"I win again chummily!" Kazu said as he laid down a digimon card.
Kenta stared at his defeat, "Oh great, why do these things always happen to me?" he sunk his head low. It was the third time he had lost to Kazu since the time they had been there. All of a sudden, someone had spoke out loud to everyone.
"Where can that goggle head be anyway?" Rika shouted. In reality, the group had been waiting for Takato and Guilmon for quite some time. When speaking of the group, it had consisted of ten beings. There was Rika and her partner Renamon, Henry and his partner Terriermon, Jeri and her partner Leomon, the two non-tamers, Kenta and Kazu and finally there was Takato and Guilmon. Much has happened to the group every since they received their D- powers and became tamers. But most importantly their friend Calumon was captured by Makuramon the mysterious monkey Deva and was taken against his will to the digital world. For reasons why, were still unknown, but they group intended to find out what exactly they are. They had managed to find a portal to the digital world underneath Guilmon's hidden lair after their fight with Vikaralamon the ninth Deva. And so they wait for there final companions to join them.
Jeri got up from where she had sat down. She spoke, "Don't worry Rika, I think Takato has a good reason why he's so late."
"Well he better hurry, or were going to leave without him." Rika replied
After a few more moments had passed a voice started to call off in the distance, "Hey!"
Henry turned his head to see Takato and Guilmon rushing towards them. Rika muttered, "Finally," while Henry replied, "Takato! Where've you been?"
As he approached them he started to catch his breath while still talking, "Sorry I'm late you guys.I was just finishing.up something."
They had noticed that he had some sort of banner at his back. Rika replied, "Oh no, not this again." Takato explained, "You see theirs me, Guilmon, Rika, Renamon, Henry, Terriermon, Kenta, Kazu, and Calumon. I was putting on the finishing touches on it this morning."
"Ok, let's just get this journey moving along." Henry replied
Suddenly from behind a voice called out, "Hey!"
They all spun around as they saw a figure standing there before them. It was a man who wore a white un-pressed shirt and a pair of black sunglasses that covered eyes.
"What do you want?" Henry shouted as he had recognized him all too well.
Yamaki threw a black device to the kids. Henry managed to catch this as Yamaki started to explain, "It's a communicator. We'll be able to talk to you when you're in the digital world." It was a complete surprise to everyone, for it was the first time Yamaki was actually trying to help the tamers. He was no longer the person who despised digimon; he was now their friend. He removed his sunglasses revealing his eyes, "Good luck."
They thanked him as they started to head into the cave. They crawled within the dark and dirty hovel dug by Guilmon a while back. One by one the members of the group crawled through until they saw it. The ball of light and digital bits floating around, it was their one-way ticket to another dimension. They had to be brave to undertake the journeys ahead; it was no longer a game to them as a friend was at stake. This was really happening and they plan to charge into it, head long into the mystery of the digital world.
"Ok, here we go!" Takato replied
The bright lighting surrounded them as the blinding effect overtook them. They were being drawn to it as the powers caused them to enter. They were crossing dimensions, entering a place that not too many tread upon. Either then digimon, they question what else would they meet?

They were in some sort of inter-dimensional vortex as their bodies passed through it at great speeds. Some closed their eyes, not able to handle these settings as they passed through. Leomon and Renamon held tight to their partners as they we're frighten from the experience. Takato however kept his eyes open to feel and see the trip he was taking. Suddenly something caught the corner of his eye. He had imagined a shadow, speed on through to pass them. It was probably nothing, but Takato couldn't help but feel like it was a calling of something. Soon enough however, the end of the vortex had finally come.
The images now began to reform as the settings were now beginning focused. Takato gasped as he saw he was several feet in the air. He looked to the side to see his companions along with him. It was like he was falling from the sky and onto the brown lifeless ground.
"No way." Takato thought as they began to descend towards the floor. Suddenly Guilmon shouted, "Takato! The bread!!!" he looked over to see his backpack open and out flew all of the food they had packed for the trip. Guilmon tried to reach out for it, but it didn't do any good.
The thrill and fear had overcome all of them as well as the digimon. They just couldn't believe where they were and felt completely helpless. They were going to fall from the sky and probably die when they hit the floor. The digimon had nothing to protect their tamers. One by one they fell unconscious for various reasons. Some was from fear of altitude; some was for fear of falling from their position, but the rest was from fear of their lives and others. It seemed liked a lost cause for there chances of surviving when they hit the ground was very slim.
Back on the ground however, there stood a being leaning against a boulder. Squinting his eyes he saw the ten figures fall from the sky.

In the middle of it was a unique symbol impressed into it, also made with silver. He repositioned his fingers and triggered a small clasp on the side opening the covering to reveal what was inside.
"Right on time." the figure closed the pocket watch and placed it back in his satchel.
The wind blew once again, but when it had done the figure that once stood against a boulder was fading away. A blue aura surrounded him and slowly began to become transparent and finally vanished completely only leaving small traces of blue energy.
The whole group was unconscious except for Takato. However, he was barely hanging on to his senses as his eyes began to close. He wouldn't allow himself to be over powered by this, but it seemed he had no choice. He would also be a victim to this and all he did was now delaying it. He finally shut his eyes and gradually became unconscious. The moment he had done so the figure that was once on the ground reappeared before them. He fell just as they were, but of coarse no one had noticed him. He looked to side seeing Rika and Renamon completely inattentive. With his two hands he form two clear white crystals in either palm. With their tips pointing directly to Rika and Renamon he threw them at great speed and it hit them directly.
However the moment it had done so, they had been incased within a much larger crystal barrier that had some how been created. They were frozen within this barrier as they fell to the digital earth.

Completely different from the real world as they were no buildings, no other signs of life, just a lifeless desert. The digimon had remembered it, all but Guilmon.

But it continued to pester Takato.
"Takato." a voice called. Takato turned his head to see that nothing was there. His sudden pause alarmed the rest.
"What's wrong Takato?" Henry asked
"Hmm? Oh I just thought I heard something." Takato said
"Takato." the voice beckoned again. Takato answered, "There! There it is again, can't you hear it?" Kazu walked over to him, "Dude, you feeling all right?"
"I think we should go over in this direction." Takato responded as he pointed to a direction. "What? Why?" Rika questioned, "We just decided to go over there. Why on earth would you want to head over in that direction Takato? I mean there's nothing over there."
Takato started to walk over towards it, "I don't know you guys, and I just think we should head over there. It's like something is calling to me and I just gotta see who it is." He now started to run towards it. Everyone was clueless to what was happening as Jeri shouted, "Takato! Wait!"
He did not wait however; he just continued to run in his general direction. No one could do anything about it and they couldn't just leave him, so they decided to follow him. Rushing to catch up with Takato they now headed in the direction he had chosen.
After some time had passed and Takato now just walked side by side the others. Seeing nothing too interesting except the usual lifeless desert. Everyone seemed a little on edge.
"Great choice Sherlock, I'm so glad we choose this direction instead the one we ALL decided to take. Oh, I forgot, who was the one who decided to take this way? Oh yes, it was Takato." Rika said
Takato was in no position to argue with her. He'd never really ever started a fight with her, besides of all the times when he insisted that digimon are living beings too, so he wouldn't want to start now. He just continued to ignore her and walk. However as the winds blew and small digipackets flew pass them, Takato started to doubt him self. Perhaps he WAS just imagining the voice.
"What have I gotten everyone into?" Takato thought.
Guilmon saw that Takato was trouble and so he started to walk a little faster until he caught up with him. "What's wrong Takato? You look so sad?"
"Oh it's nothing Guilmon. I was just thinking that this was all just one big mistake." Takato said
"I don't think it's a mistake Takato." Guilmon said as he made Takato feel better.
Takato turned his head, "So you heard the voice too?"
"Voice?" Guilmon responded, "What voice Takato?"
Takato sunk his head low as he lost all his confidence. "Maybe we should just turn around now," he thought. Kazu who had over heard Takato and Guilmon's conversation shouted, "So did that voice tell you where the nearest card shop is?" Kazu laugh at his own little joke.
Of coarse no one else laughed, as he remained there laughing in the silence of the group.
"I don't care! I know I heard it." Takato shouted.
"Calm down chummily, I was only kidding." Kazu replied back.
Jeri walked over to him and placed her hand at his shoulder. "Don't worry Takato, I believe you." Takato looked up to see Jeri comforting him.
"Thanks Jeri," Takato replied back.
Rika suddenly interrupted the two, "This is great and all, but are we going stand here all day or are we going to search for Calumon. I mean that is the main reason why we did come here."
"Rika's right, Takato. We have to stop fooling around and start searching the place." Henry replied
"Momantai, Henry, Momantai. We'll find Calumon" Terriermon said.
Suddenly a low rumble shook the ground they stood. All of them had felt it as they looked around to see what had made it. "What was that?" Kenta asked.
"I don't know, but I don't think I want to stick around to find out." Henry replied.
The rumble continued as the floor shook. They again, looked around seeing nothing, but their familiar settings they had observed earlier. However, the rumble continued until they had finally realized that the minor tremor they were experiencing was coming from below, directly below. The ground started to crack and shake as a large beast came from depths of the underground. They all stepped away in separate directions as they saw the beast emerge.
"Stand back Jeri!" Leomon shouted as he guarded Jeri as well as Kenta and Kazu.
"What is this?" Henry said as he held up his green D-Power. Within instants an image appeared out of his device showing a picture of the creature. "Drimogemon, champion level. His attacks are Iron Drill Spin and Crusher Bone."
"Me and Renamon can handle this." Rika shouted, "Renamon, walk all over him."
"It would be my pleasure Rika." Renamon responded.
Renamon leaped out towards the mole like digimon. Gracefully she jumped kicked him right at his face. Drimogemon's face swerved at the kick as Renamon backed flipped and landed back on the ground. Drimogemon now was pretty infuriated as he started to spin the drill on the tip of his head. He was preparing to attack her back. He left the safety of the hole he had dug and lunged for Renamon. Easily Renamon dodged the attack as she leaped backwards. Using her feet, she dug them into the ground giving her a good kick off and countered. She punched him again at his face causing him to swerve again from impact.
Takato shouted, "Rika! Use this card!" He then threw a modify card at Rika.
Catching the card that Takato had given she looked at it and decided to use it.
"Digi-Modify! Power activated!" Rika then slashed the card through her blue D-Power.
With the effects of the card in play, Renamon was now powered up giving her a boost to aid her in her following attack. She leaped into the air as she floated there as she crossed her arms. A glimmer of light appeared in front of her crossed arms as the light gathered into a ball. She then opened her arms as the ball of light shattered into sharp pieces levitating around her.
With a look in her eye she shouted, "DIAMOND STORM!"
The floating pieces around reigned down in a barrage of solid sharp light as they hit Drimogemon at full force. The pieces covered him as he took every hit and with the power boost she had received, the poor Drimogemon had been beaten.
He was lucky that the power had not deleted him, but merely knocked him out. He lay there, completely beaten down. Normally Rika would tell Renamon to finish him off and load it's data. However, Rika had a new understanding for digimon. She understood that they were living beings, not just packets of meaningless data.
"Nice job Renamon," Rika complemented her partner's victory. Renamon turned her back to fallen Drimogemon as she started to walk towards the others. She was the victor of this match as everyone was pretty much impressed with her talents.
Suddenly something happened, something that no one could have predicted as Guilmon's eyes turned solid yellow and started to growl. Takato was trouble by this; he knew that whenever he had done this something bad was about to happen. He turned and asked, "Guilmon, what's wrong."
He continued to growl as he muttered, "Something's coming."
"What? Something else is coming?" Takato replied
Guilmon was quite right, but he was unable to know what. He had sensed something, but wasn't too sure what it was. All he knew was that it could be something that could hurt Takato and everyone else. The voice that Takato had heard earlier had called again, "Takato." He was pretty shocked as looked around seeing nothing. "Who's saying that?!?" he shouted out loud.
"Hey you guys, was it just me or did you hear that too." Henry said.
"I don't believe it, Takato was right. Some one is calling him." Kazu said
Takato continued to look around seeing nothing out of the ordinary and Guilmon continue to growl. And then it happened, the event that they had been waiting for. A blue tare cut down in the middle of the digital plain. It was like the sky was being torn apart as small blue lighting struck from the tare. It started to be pulled apart as it grew and created a circular gate right before them. They were all in awe and confused from the site as something started to emerge from the blue portal.
They began to see a youth step out of the tare wearing quite a unique set of clothing. He wore loose black pants with brown metal-plated boots. He didn't wear a shirt, but he had an open white sleeveless robe that almost came down to his ankles. We had on black armbands and a long white bandana on his forehead, slightly long black hair and dark brown eyes. In hand was a gnarled brown staff with what it looks like a clock infixed at the tip. On his waist was a small brown bag tied around him. He then completely stepped out of the portal and look towards the group with a rather serious face.
The group still on their guard as they were prepared for anything that the mysterious being could throw at them. The portal was still opened as the being looked down upon him and waved his hand over Drimogemon. On instant, Drimogemon started to fade and disappear turning into a ball of light and then floated to the open portal and quickly, the portal closed.
They had a feeling of amazement and fear running throughout their bodies. They had witness this being do a mere hand gesture and the champion level digimon they had battled, disappeared right before their eyes. How could they defend themselves from some one with that type of power? The digimon put up their guards and placed the children behind them. They were ready to defend them at all cost from the wraith of the figure.
The being rested his staff at his right shoulder as he continued to stare at them with a serious face. He shifted his eyes from left to right, observing all the digimon and children before him. The wind blew once again as it made his bang go across his face. Unexpectedly the figure smiled at the corner of his mouth. His eyes were at ease as he replied, "Hey, how are all of you doing?"
It was a complete surprise as the figure continued to smile at them at a calm and collective way.
"What? Who is this guy?" was probably a question in everyone's mind.
